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

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

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

Keyless Entry Module: Testing and Inspection
SKREEM PROGRAMMING
When a Powertrain Control Module (PCM) for a gasoline engine, or an Engine Control Module
(ECM) for a diesel engine and the Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM) (also known as
the Wireless Control Module/WCM) on vehicles equipped with the Sentry Key Immobilizer System
(SKIS) are replaced at the same time, perform the following steps in order:
1. Program the new PCM/ECM.
2. Program the new SKREEM/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/ECM or SKREEM/WCM is replaced, it is necessary to program the Secret
Key into the new module using a diagnostic scan tool. Follow the programming steps outlined in
the diagnostic scan tool for PCM REPLACED, ECM REPLACED, WCM REPLACED, or
GATEWAY REPLACED under MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS for the WIRELESS CONTROL
MODULE/WCM menu item as appropriate.
NOTE: Be certain to enter the correct country code for the SKREEM/WCM. If the incorrect country
code is programmed into the SKREEM, it cannot be changed and the SKREEM must be replaced.
NOTE: In addition, the SKREEM/WCM must be configured for certain optional equipment in the
vehicle, including Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM), Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) and Remote Start.
Follow the programming steps outlined in the diagnostic scan tool under MISCELLANEOUS
FUNCTIONS for the WCM/WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE menu item as appropriate.
NOTE: A replacement SKREEM/WCM is supplied with TPM enabled by default; therefore, if the
vehicle is not equipped with TPM, the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) will incorrectly
learn that the vehicle has TPM after the replacement SKREEM is installed. The TPM indicator in
the EMIC will illuminate to show a TPM fault condition after TPM has been disabled in the
SKREEM. The EMIC must unlearn TPM to correct this false TPM indication. Follow the
programming steps outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for CLEAR LEARNED FEATURES under
MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS for the INSTRUMENT CLUSTER 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 three attempts are made to enter secure access mode using an
incorrect PIN, secure access mode will be locked out for one hour. To exit this lockout mode, turn
the ignition to the RUN position for one hour then enter the correct PIN. Be certain that all
accessories are turned OFF. Also monitor the battery state and connect a battery charger if
necessary.
PROGRAMMING IGNITION KEYS TO THE SKREEM
Each ignition key transponder also has a unique ID code that is assigned at the time the key is
manufactured. When a key is programmed into the SKREEM/WCM, the transponder ID code is
learned by the module and the transponder acquires the unique Secret Key ID code from the
SKREEM/WCM. To program ignition keys into the SKREEM/WCM, follow the programming steps
outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for PROGRAM IGNITION KEYS OR KEY FOBS under
MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS for the WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE/WCM menu item.
NOTE: A maximum of eight keys can be learned to each SKREEM. Once a key is learned to a
SKREEM, that key has acquired the Secret Key for that SKREEM and cannot be transferred to any
other SKREEM or vehicle.
If ignition key programming is unsuccessful, the scan tool will display one of the following error
messages:
PROGRAMMING NOT ATTEMPTED - The scan tool attempts to read the programmed key status
and there are no keys programmed into SKREEM memory.
- PROGRAMMING KEY FAILED (POSSIBLE USED KEY FROM WRONG VEHICLE) - SKREEM is
unable to program an ignition key transponder due to one of the following:
- The ignition key transponder is ineffective.
- The ignition key transponder is or has been already programmed to another vehicle.
- 8 KEYS ALREADY LEARNED, PROGRAMMING NOT DONE - The SKREEM transponder ID
memory is full.
- LEARNED KEY IN IGNITION - The ID for the ignition key transponder currently in the ignition lock
cylinder is already programmed into SKREEM memory.

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

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

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

Keyless Entry Module: Testing and Inspection
SKREEM PROGRAMMING
When a Powertrain Control Module (PCM) for a gasoline engine, or an Engine Control Module
(ECM) for a diesel engine and the Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM) (also known as
the Wireless Control Module/WCM) on vehicles equipped with the Sentry Key Immobilizer System
(SKIS) are replaced at the same time, perform the following steps in order:
1. Program the new PCM/ECM.
2. Program the new SKREEM/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/ECM or SKREEM/WCM is replaced, it is necessary to program the Secret
Key into the new module using a diagnostic scan tool. Follow the programming steps outlined in
the diagnostic scan tool for PCM REPLACED, ECM REPLACED, WCM REPLACED, or
GATEWAY REPLACED under MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS for the WIRELESS CONTROL
MODULE/WCM menu item as appropriate.
NOTE: Be certain to enter the correct country code for the SKREEM/WCM. If the incorrect country
code is programmed into the SKREEM, it cannot be changed and the SKREEM must be replaced.
NOTE: In addition, the SKREEM/WCM must be configured for certain optional equipment in the
vehicle, including Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM), Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) and Remote Start.
Follow the programming steps outlined in the diagnostic scan tool under MISCELLANEOUS
FUNCTIONS for the WCM/WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE menu item as appropriate.
NOTE: A replacement SKREEM/WCM is supplied with TPM enabled by default; therefore, if the
vehicle is not equipped with TPM, the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) will incorrectly
learn that the vehicle has TPM after the replacement SKREEM is installed. The TPM indicator in
the EMIC will illuminate to show a TPM fault condition after TPM has been disabled in the
SKREEM. The EMIC must unlearn TPM to correct this false TPM indication. Follow the
programming steps outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for CLEAR LEARNED FEATURES under
MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS for the INSTRUMENT CLUSTER 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 three attempts are made to enter secure access mode using an
incorrect PIN, secure access mode will be locked out for one hour. To exit this lockout mode, turn
the ignition to the RUN position for one hour then enter the correct PIN. Be certain that all
accessories are turned OFF. Also monitor the battery state and connect a battery charger if
necessary.
PROGRAMMING IGNITION KEYS TO THE SKREEM
Each ignition key transponder also has a unique ID code that is assigned at the time the key is
manufactured. When a key is programmed into the SKREEM/WCM, the transponder ID code is
learned by the module and the transponder acquires the unique Secret Key ID code from the
SKREEM/WCM. To program ignition keys into the SKREEM/WCM, follow the programming steps
outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for PROGRAM IGNITION KEYS OR KEY FOBS under
MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS for the WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE/WCM menu item.
NOTE: A maximum of eight keys can be learned to each SKREEM. Once a key is learned to a
SKREEM, that key has acquired the Secret Key for that SKREEM and cannot be transferred to any
other SKREEM or vehicle.
If ignition key programming is unsuccessful, the scan tool will display one of the following error
messages:
PROGRAMMING NOT ATTEMPTED - The scan tool attempts to read the programmed key status
and there are no keys programmed into SKREEM memory.
- PROGRAMMING KEY FAILED (POSSIBLE USED KEY FROM WRONG VEHICLE) - SKREEM is
unable to program an ignition key transponder due to one of the following:
- The ignition key transponder is ineffective.
- The ignition key transponder is or has been already programmed to another vehicle.
- 8 KEYS ALREADY LEARNED, PROGRAMMING NOT DONE - The SKREEM transponder ID
memory is full.
- LEARNED KEY IN IGNITION - The ID for the ignition key transponder currently in the ignition lock
cylinder is already programmed into SKREEM memory.

GROUP: Electrical
DATE: August 24, 2006
THE StarSCAN(R) FLASH FILES FOR THIS BULLETIN MUST BE RETRIEVED FROM THE
INTERNET ON OR AFTER OCTOBER 6, 2006.
StarSCAN(R) UPDATE CD 6.05 WAS THE LAST CD TO CONTAIN FLASH FILES.
SUBJECT:
FLASH: Wrong Driver Seat Position May Occur After A Remote Start Event
OVERVIEW:
This bulletin involves selectively erasing and reprogramming the Memory Seat Module (MSMD)
with new software.
MODELS:
2006 - 2007 (HB) Durango
2007 (HG) Aspen
2007 (WH) Grand Cherokee (International Markets)
2007 (WK) Grand Cherokee
2007 (XH) Commander (International Markets)
2007 (XK) Commander
NOTE:
This bulletin applies to vehicles equipped with Remote Start (sales code XBM).
SYMPTOM/CONDITION:
The MSMD interprets the remote start event as an OFF-to-RUN ignition key transition instead of a
remote start, resulting in either the movement of the driver seat to the memory driving position prior
to driver entry or, no movement from the Easy Exit position following the actual OFF-to-RUN
ignition key transition.
DIAGNOSIS:
Using a Scan Tool (StarSCAN(R)) with the appropriate Diagnostic Procedures available in
TechCONNECT, verify all systems are functioning as designed. If DTCs are present record them
on the repair order and repair as necessary before proceeding further with this bulletin.
If the vehicle operator describes or experiences the Symptom/Condition, perform the Repair
Procedure.

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

A memory setting is saved by pressing the "set" button, then pressing either the memory 1 inch or
2 inch button within 5 seconds of pressing the "set" button.
A memory setting is recalled by pressing either the memory 1 inch or 2 inch button, or by pressing
the unlock button on a "linke" Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter.
For driver safety, memorized settings can not be recalled if the transmission is in a position other
than Park or the seat belt is latched.
Both driver and passenger modules provide active and stored Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC's) to
aid in diagnosis.
Both modules are identical in appearance with the exception of an extra ground wire on the driver
side memory mirror module.

Description
DESCRIPTION
NOTE: The scan tool standardization process must be performed on the Memory Seat Module
(MSM) any time a new module is installed or the existing module is reflashed.
The Memory Seat Module (MSM) is located underneath the driver seat, towards the front and on
the outboard side. It is used in conjunction with the other modules in the memory system to recall
the seat to one of two preset seat functional adjustments (horizontal, vertical, and recliner). The
switch for the memory seat programming and selection mounts on the driver door trim panel. The
MSM also controls the adjustable pedals, both for the memory and manual functionality. The
adjustable accelerator and brake pedals are available on SLT and Limited models. On Limited,
their positioning can be stored for recall by the memory system, allowing for two drivers to have
unique, pre-programmed settings.
Operation
OPERATION
POWER/MEMORY SEAT
The memory seat module receives input from the 8-way power seat switch, the driver seat position
sensors, adjustable pedal control circuits (switch, sensor, and motor), and the data bus circuit. The
memory switch, is wired to the memory mirror module which sends the message over the data bus.
The memory seat module performs the following functions:
- Positions the driver seat (vertical, horizontal, and recliner positions) and adjustable pedals.
- Sends the memory save or recall (#1 or #2) command over the data bus circuit to the memory
mirror modules, HVAC, and radio.
- Provides for "linking" the key FOBs to memory.
- Provides for the easy entry/exit feature.
- Provides the tilt mirrors in reverse feature
When a memory button is pressed (#1 or #2) on the memory switch, the driver door memory mirror
module sends a recall message to the memory seat module (MSM). Then the MSM will position the
driver seat and adjustable pedals to its preprogrammed location/setting. When the Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) Transmitter button is pressed, depending on which transmitter (#1 or #2), the
SKREEM (RKE Receiver) sends the recall request and FOB number (#1 or #2) data message. This
RKE transmitter function depends on if the MSM is programmed to trigger the recall (linked FOBs).
A memory setting is saved by pressing the "set" button, then pressing either the memory 1 inch or
2 inch button within 5 seconds of pressing the "set" button.
A memory setting is recalled by pressing either the memory 1 inch or 2 inch button, or by pressing
the unlock button on a "linked" Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter.
For driver safety, memorized settings can not be recalled if the transmission is in any position other
than park or the seat belt is latched.
A key FOB is "linked" to a memory setting by pressing the "set" button and then pressing either the
memory 1 inch or 2 inch button within 5 seconds of pressing the set button, then by pressing the
"lock" button on the selected key FOB.

The memory system "Easy Entry and /Exit" feature provides the driver with more room to enter or
exit the vehicle. The Easy Entry and Exit feature is disabled when the vehicle leaves the factory. An
authorized dealer can enable this feature. When the seat is in a memorized position, it will move
rearward 55 millimeters or to the end of its travel, whichever occurs first, when the key is removed
from the ignition switch lock cylinder. The seat will return to the memory position when the driver
turns the vehicle's ignition switch out of the LOCK position.
The memory system "learns" the seat and adjustable pedal motor maximum end positions when
the motor reaches the limit of travel in any direction and stalls. Subsequently, movement will stop
just short of that position to avoid extra stress on the motors and mechanisms. If the system
learned a maximum position as a result of an obstruction, as for instance if a large object was
placed on the floor behind the seat, the system can relearn the "true" maximum position through
manually operating the power seat after the obstruction is removed.
NOTE: It is normal for the power accessories contained in the memory system to stop at the
maximum "learned" position and then continue to the "true" maximum position when the control
switch is released and then applied in the same direction a second time.
Certain functions and features of the memory system rely upon resources shared with other
electronic modules in the vehicle over the Controller Area Network (CAN) bus. The CAN bus allows
the sharing of sensor information. This helps to reduce wire harness complexity, internal controller
hardware, and component sensor current loads. At the same time, this system provides increased
reliability, enhanced diagnostics, and allows the addition of many new feature capabilities. For
diagnosis of these electronic modules or of the CAN bus, the use of a scan tool and the proper
diagnostic information are needed.
The tilt mirrors in reverse feature provides for tilting the sideview (outside) mirrors down a
predetermined angle, providing a better view of the ground next to the rear portion of the vehicle.
The tilt mirrors in reverse feature is disabled when the vehicle leaves the factory. An authorized
dealer can enable this feature. Operation of the tilt mirrors is as follows:
- Sideview mirrors will tilt down when the vehicle transmission is shifted into Reverse.
- Sideview mirrors will return to the original position when the vehicle transmission is shifted out of
Reverse.
ADJUSTABLE PEDALS
The pedals swing on a large arc, the radius and angle of which were selected on the basis of
ergonomic studies, that puts them in the proper position for use by the smaller driver - higher and
angled upward as well as rearward. Powered by the small electric motor driving a gear train at
each pedal, adjustment is precise, quiet, and smooth throughout the range. A paddle-type switch
on the instrument panel to the left of the steering column actuates the electric motor-driven
mechanism through the memory seat module (MSM). Pushing up the paddle brings the pedals
closer and vice versa. Movement stops when the switch is released. MSM logic prevents pedal
adjustment when the automatic speed control (cruise control) is set (controlling speed), and when
the transmission is in reverse. This feature protects against a loss of reference position when
neither foot is on the pedal.

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

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

Seat Heater Control Module: Description and Operation Module-Heated Seat
Description
DESCRIPTION
The heated seat module (2) is located behind the right rear D-pillar trim (1). The heated seat
module has a single electrical connector (3).
The heated seat module is an microprocessor designed to use CAN bus messages from the cluster
Cabin Compartment Node (CCN) to operate the heated seat elements in both front seats.
Operation
OPERATION
The heated seat module operates on fused battery current received from the ignition switch. The
module is grounded at all times through a ground lug on the right rear D-pillar. Inputs to the module
include CAN bus messages and standard hardwired 12volt power and ground. In response to
those inputs the heated seat module controls the battery current to the heated seat elements.
When a heated seat switch CAN bus signal is received by the heated seat module, the module
energizes the selected heated seat element. The Low heat set point is about 38° C (100.4° F), and
the High heat set point is about 42° C (107.6° F).
If the heated seat module detects a heated seat element OPEN or SHORT circuit, it will record and
store an diagnostic trouble code (DTC).

Seat Heater Control Module: Description and Operation Switch/Module - Second Row Heated Seat
Description
DESCRIPTION
Momentary contact push button switch/modules (2) mounted in the front face of the second row
center floor console (3) operate the heated second row seat system. Each heated seat
switch/module has two Light-Emitting Diode (LED) indicator lamps, which indicate the selected
level (Low or High) of the seat heater. Pressing the switch/module button initiates heat. Heat
remains on until switched off or until the ignition is turned off. If switched off by the ignition, a
switch/module button must be pressed to restart heating.
The switch/modules contain the solid state electronic control and diagnostic logic circuitry for the
heated second row seat system. If any of the heated second row seat elements are inoperative or
damaged one or more of the LED lamps in the switch/module for the effected seat will flash.
The LED indicator lamps in each heated seat switch/module cannot be repaired. If the LED lamps
are inoperative or damaged, or the switch/module is inoperative or damaged the individual heated
seat switch/module assembly must be replaced.
Operation
OPERATION
A Heated Seat Switch/Module is used to control the heated second row seat system. The heated
seat switch/modules receive battery current through a fused ignition switch output (run) circuit
when the ignition switch is in the On position. The switch/module responds to heated seat
switch/module button input and ignition switch status inputs by controlling the 12v output to the
front seat heating elements through integral solid-state relays.
When either of the heated seat switch/module buttons are depressed the heating element for the
selected seat is energized. Amber Light Emitting Diodes (LEDS) on the side of each switch/module
indicate the level of heat in use: Two LEDs are illuminated for high, one for low, and none for off.
Pressing the switch/module button once will select high-level heating. Pressing the button a second
time will select low-level heating. Pressing the button a third time will shut the heating elements off.
The heated seat switch/module energizes an integral solid-state relay, which supplies battery
current to the heating elements. When high-temperature heating is selected, the heaters provide a
boosted heat level during the first four minutes of operation after heating is activated. The heat
output then drops to the normal high-temperature level. If high-level heating is selected, the control
system will automatically switch to the low level after thirty minutes of continuous operation. At that
time, the number of illuminated LEDs changes from two to one, indicating the change. Operation
on the low setting will continue for another thirty minutes and the system will then be automatically
turned off.

memory if the error has occurred in the module were the DTC's are stored.
The ABM contains a self check program that illuminates the ABS warning light when a system fault
is detected. Faults are stored in memory and are accessible with the scan tool.
ABS faults remain in memory until cleared, or until after the vehicle is started approximately 50
times. Stored faults are not erased if the battery is disconnected.
ABM INPUTS

Description
DESCRIPTION
The blower motor relay (1) for the standard front heating-A/C system is a International Standards
Organization (ISO)-type relay. Relays conforming to the ISO specifications have common physical
dimensions, current capacities, terminal function and patterns (2). The front blower motor relay is a
electromechanical device that switches battery current from a fuse in the power distribution center
(PDC) directly to the front blower motor when equipped with the manual temperature control (MTC)
system, or the blower motor power module when equipped with the automatic temperature control
(ATC) system. The front blower motor relay is energized when the relay coil is provided a ground
circuit through the integrated power module.
The front blower motor relay is located in the power distribution center (PDC) in the engine
compartment. Refer to the PDC label for front blower motor relay identification and location.
Operation
OPERATION
The ISO-standard front blower motor relay is an electromechanical switch that uses a low current
input from the battery to control the high current output to the front blower motor. The movable,
common feed relay contact is held against the fixed, normally closed relay contact by spring
pressure. When the electromagnetic relay coil is energized, it draws the movable common feed
relay contact away from the fixed, normally closed relay contact and, holds it against the fixed,
normally open relay contact. This action allows high current to flow to the front blower motor.
When the relay coil is de-energized, spring pressure returns the movable relay contact back
against the fixed, normally closed contact point. The resistor or diode is connected in parallel with
the relay coil, and helps to dissipate voltage spikes and electromagnetic interference that can be
generated as the electromagnetic field of the relay coil collapses.
The front blower motor relay terminals are connected to the vehicle electrical system through a
receptacle in the power distribution center (PDC). The inputs and outputs of the front blower motor
relay include:
- The common feed terminal (30) receives battery current through a fuse in the PDC at all times.
- The coil ground terminal (85) receives a ground circuit through the integrated power module.
- The coil battery terminal (86) receives battery current through a fuse in the PDC at all times.
- The normally open terminal (87) provides battery current output to the front blower motor when
equipped with the manual temperature control (MTC) system, or the blower motor power module
when equipped with the automatic temperature control (ATC) system only when the front blower
motor relay coil is energized.
- The normally closed terminal (87A) is not connected to any circuit in this application, but provides
a battery current output only when the front blower motor relay coil is de-energized.
The front blower motor relay cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if found
inoperative or damaged. Refer to the appropriate wiring information for diagnosis and testing of the
ISO-standard relay and for complete HVAC wiring diagrams.

DESCRIPTION
The A/C clutch relay (1) is a International Standards Organization (ISO) micro-relay. Relays
conforming to the ISO specifications have common physical dimensions, current capacities,
terminal functions and patterns (2). The ISO micro-relay terminal functions are the same as a
conventional ISO relay. However, the ISO micro-relay terminal pattern (or footprint) is different, the
current capacity is lower, and the physical dimensions are smaller than those of the conventional
ISO relay.
The A/C clutch relay is located in the power distribution center (PDC) in the engine compartment.

Compressor Clutch Relay: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The ISO-standard A/C clutch micro-relay is an electromechanical switch that uses a low current
input controlled by the powertrain control module (PCM) to control the high current output to the
A/C clutch field coil. The movable, common feed relay contact is held against the fixed, normally
closed relay contact by spring pressure. When the electromagnetic relay coil is energized, it draws
the movable common feed relay contact away from the fixed, normally closed relay contact and,
holds it against the fixed, normally open relay contact. This action allows high current to flow to the
A/C clutch field coil.
When the relay coil is de-energized, spring pressure returns the movable relay contact back
against the fixed, normally closed contact point. The resistor or diode is connected in parallel with
the relay coil, and helps to dissipate voltage spikes and electromagnetic interference that can be
generated as the electromagnetic field of the relay coil collapses.
The A/C clutch relay terminals are connected to the vehicle electrical system through a receptacle
in the power distribution center (PDC). The inputs and outputs of the A/C clutch relay include:
- The common feed terminal (30) receives fused battery current at all times.
- The coil ground terminal (85) receives a ground input from the PCM through the A/C clutch relay
control circuit only when the PCM electronically pulls the control circuit to ground.
- The coil battery terminal (86) receives fused battery current through a ignition switch output
(run-start) circuit only when the ignition switch is in the On or Start positions.
- The normally open terminal (87) provides a battery current output to the A/C clutch coil through
the A/C clutch relay output circuit only when the compressor clutch relay coil is energized.
- The normally closed terminal (87A) is not connected to any circuit in this application, but provides
a battery current output only when the A/C clutch relay coil is de-energized.
The A/C clutch relay cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if found inoperative or
damaged. Refer to the appropriate wiring information for diagnosis and testing of the ISO-standard
micro-relay and for complete HVAC wiring diagrams.

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

Control Module HVAC: Description and Operation Front Blower Motor Power Module - Operation
OPERATION
The blower motor power module is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated
lead and connector of the HVAC wire harness. A second connector receptacle receives the wire
harness connector from the blower motor. The blower motor power module allows the
microprocessor-based automatic temperature control (ATC) A/C-heater control to calculate and
provide infinitely variable blower motor speeds based upon either manual blower switch input or the
ATC programming using a pulse width modulated (PWM) circuit strategy.
The PWM voltage is applied to a comparator circuit which compares the PWM signal voltage to the
blower motor feedback voltage. The resulting output drives the power module circuitry, which
provides a linear output voltage to change or maintain the desired blower speed.
The blower motor power module is diagnosed using a scan tool.
The blower motor power module cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if found
inoperative or damaged.

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

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

Power Distribution Module: Description and Operation Module-Integrated Power
Description
DESCRIPTION
The Integrated Power Module (IPM) is a combination of the Power Distribution Center (PDC) (1)
and the Front Control Module (FCM) (2). The IPM is located in the engine compartment, next to the
battery. The power distribution center mates directly with the (FCM) to form the IPM. The (PDC) is
a printed circuit board based module that contains fuses and relays, while the FCM contains the
electronics controlling the IPM and other functions. The IPM connects directly to the battery
positive via a stud located on top of the unit. The ground connection is via electrical connectors.
The IPM provides the primary means of voltage distribution and protection for the entire vehicle.
Operation
OPERATION
All of the current from the battery and the generator output enters the integrated power module via
a stud on the top of the module. Internal connections of all of the power distribution center circuits
is accomplished by a combination of bus bars and a printed circuit board.

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

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 > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules Computers and Control Systems > Body Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 364
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 Group 30, so it is shown there
complete. It can, however, be shown partially in another group if it contains some associated
wiring.
Splice diagrams show the entire splice and provide references to other sections the splices serves.
Spice Information contains splice diagrams that are not shown in their entirety somewhere else in
the wiring diagrams.
Connector Pin-Outs each connector and the circuits involved with that connector. The connectors
are identified using the name/number on the diagram pages.

Body 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.

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.

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 > Body Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 375
- 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.

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 Group 30, so it is shown there
complete. It can, however, be shown partially in another group if it contains some associated
wiring.
Splice diagrams show the entire splice and provide references to other sections the splices serves.
Spice Information contains splice diagrams that are not shown in their entirety somewhere else in
the wiring diagrams.
Connector Pin-Outs 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.

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 470
- 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
Description
DESCRIPTION
The PCM (2) is attached to the right-front inner fender (1) located in the engine compartment.
Modes Of Operation
MODES OF OPERATION
As input signals to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) change, the PCM adjusts its response to
the output devices. The PCM will operate in two different modes: Open Loop and Closed Loop.
During Open Loop modes, the PCM receives input signals and responds only according to preset
PCM programming. Input from the oxygen (O2S) sensors is not monitored during Open Loop
modes.
During Closed Loop modes, the PCM will monitor the oxygen (O2S) sensors input. This input
indicates to the PCM whether or not the calculated injector pulse width results in the ideal air-fuel
ratio. This ratio is 14.7 parts air-to-1 part fuel. By monitoring the exhaust oxygen content through
the O2S sensor, the PCM can fine tune the injector pulse width. This is done to achieve optimum
fuel economy combined with low emission engine performance.
The fuel injection system has the following modes of operation:
- Ignition switch ON
- Engine start-up (crank)
- Engine warm-up
- Idle
- Cruise
- Acceleration
- Deceleration
- Wide open throttle (WOT)
- Ignition switch OFF
The ignition switch On, engine start-up (crank), engine warm-up, acceleration, deceleration and
wide open throttle modes are Open Loop modes. The idle and cruise modes, (with the engine at
operating temperature) are Closed Loop modes.
IGNITION SWITCH (KEY-ON) MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. When the fuel system is activated by the ignition switch, the following
actions occur:
- The PCM pre-positions the idle air control (IAC) motor.
- The PCM determines atmospheric air pressure from the MAP sensor input to determine basic fuel
strategy.
- The PCM monitors the engine coolant temperature sensor input. The PCM modifies fuel strategy
based on this input.

Description > Page 485
- Intake manifold air temperature sensor input is monitored.
- Throttle position sensor (TPS) is monitored.
- The auto shutdown (ASD) relay is energized by the PCM for approximately three seconds.
- The fuel pump is energized through the fuel pump relay by the PCM. The fuel pump will operate
for approximately three seconds unless the engine is operating or the starter motor is engaged.
- The O2S sensor heater element is energized via the ASD relay. The O2S sensor input is not used
by the PCM to calibrate air-fuel ratio during this mode of operation.
ENGINE START-UP MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. The following actions occur when the starter motor is engaged.
The PCM receives inputs from:
- Battery voltage
- Engine coolant temperature sensor
- Crankshaft position sensor
- Intake manifold air temperature sensor
- Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
- Throttle position sensor (TPS)
- Starter motor relay
- Camshaft position sensor signal
The PCM monitors the crankshaft position sensor. If the PCM does not receive a crankshaft
position sensor signal within 3 seconds of cranking the engine, it will shut down the fuel injection
system.
The fuel pump is activated by the PCM through the fuel pump relay.
Voltage is applied to the fuel injectors with the ASD relay via the PCM. The PCM will then control
the injection sequence and injector pulse width by turning the ground circuit to each individual
injector on and off.
The PCM determines the proper ignition timing according to input received from the crankshaft
position sensor.
ENGINE WARM-UP MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. During engine warm-up, the PCM receives inputs from:
- Battery voltage
- Crankshaft position sensor
- Engine coolant temperature sensor
- Intake manifold air temperature sensor
- Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
- Throttle position sensor (TPS)
- Camshaft position sensor signal
- Park/neutral switch (gear indicator signal-auto. trans. only)
- Air conditioning select signal (if equipped)
- Air conditioning request signal (if equipped)
Based on these inputs the following occurs:
- Voltage is applied to the fuel injectors with the ASD relay via the PCM. The PCM will then control
the injection sequence and injector pulse width by turning the ground circuit to each individual
injector on and off.
- The PCM adjusts engine idle speed through the idle air control (IAC) motor and adjusts ignition
timing.
- The PCM operates the A/C compressor clutch through the clutch relay. This is done if A/C has
been selected by the vehicle operator and requested by the A/C thermostat.
- When engine has reached operating temperature, the PCM will begin monitoring O2S sensor
input. The system will then leave the warm-up mode and go into closed loop operation.
IDLE MODE
When the engine is at operating temperature, this is a Closed Loop mode. At idle speed, the PCM
receives inputs from:
- Air conditioning select signal (if equipped)
- Air conditioning request signal (if equipped)
- Battery voltage
- Crankshaft position sensor

- Engine coolant temperature sensor
- Intake manifold air temperature sensor
- Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
- Throttle position sensor (TPS)
- Camshaft position sensor signal
- Battery voltage
- Park/neutral switch (gear indicator signal-auto. trans. only)

injection sequence and injector pulse width by turning the ground circuit to each individual injector
on and off.
- The PCM monitors the O2S sensor input and adjusts air-fuel ratio by varying injector pulse width.
It also adjusts engine idle speed through the idle air control (IAC) motor.
- The PCM adjusts ignition timing by increasing and decreasing spark advance.
- The PCM operates the A/C compressor clutch through the clutch relay. This happens if A/C has
been selected by the vehicle operator and requested by the A/C thermostat.
CRUISE MODE
When the engine is at operating temperature, this is a Closed Loop mode. At cruising speed, the
PCM receives inputs from:
- Air conditioning select signal (if equipped)
- Air conditioning request signal (if equipped)
- Battery voltage
- Engine coolant temperature sensor
- Crankshaft position sensor
- Intake manifold air temperature sensor
- Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
- Throttle position sensor (TPS)
- Camshaft position sensor signal
- Park/neutral switch (gear indicator signal-auto. trans. only)
- Oxygen (O2S) sensors
Based on these inputs, the following occurs:
- Voltage is applied to the fuel injectors with the ASD relay via the PCM. The PCM will then adjust
the injector pulse width by turning the ground circuit to each individual injector on and off.
- The PCM monitors the O2S sensor input and adjusts air-fuel ratio. It also adjusts engine idle
speed through the idle air control (IAC) motor.
- The PCM adjusts ignition timing by turning the ground path to the coil on and off.
- The PCM operates the A/C compressor clutch through the clutch relay. This happens if A/C has
been selected by the vehicle operator and requested by the A/C thermostat.
ACCELERATION MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. The PCM recognizes an abrupt increase in throttle position or MAP
pressure as a demand for increased engine output and vehicle acceleration. The PCM increases
injector pulse width in response to increased throttle opening.
DECELERATION MODE
When the engine is at operating temperature, this is an Open Loop mode. During hard
deceleration, the PCM receives the following inputs.
- Air conditioning select signal (if equipped)
- Air conditioning request signal (if equipped)
- Battery voltage
- Engine coolant temperature sensor
- Crankshaft position sensor
- Intake manifold air temperature sensor
- Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
- Throttle position sensor (TPS)
- Camshaft position sensor signal
- Park/neutral switch (gear indicator signal-auto. trans. only)
- Vehicle speed sensor
If the vehicle is under hard deceleration with the proper rpm and closed throttle conditions, the
PCM will ignore the oxygen sensor input signal. The

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Description and Operation >
Description > Page 487
PCM will enter a fuel cut-off strategy in which it will not supply a ground to the injectors. If a hard
deceleration does not exist, the PCM will determine the proper injector pulse width and continue
injection.
Based on the above inputs, the PCM will adjust engine idle speed through the idle air control (IAC)
motor.
The PCM adjusts ignition timing by turning the ground path to the coil on and off.
WIDE OPEN THROTTLE MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. During wide open throttle operation, the PCM receives the following
inputs.
- Battery voltage
- Crankshaft position sensor
- Engine coolant temperature sensor
- Intake manifold air temperature sensor
- Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
- Throttle position sensor (TPS)
- Camshaft position sensor signal
During wide open throttle conditions, the following occurs:
- Voltage is applied to the fuel injectors with the ASD relay via the PCM. The PCM will then control
the injection sequence and injector pulse width by turning the ground circuit to each individual
injector on and off. The PCM ignores the oxygen sensor input signal and provides a predetermined
amount of additional fuel. This is done by adjusting injector pulse width.
- The PCM adjusts ignition timing by turning the ground path to the coil on and off.
IGNITION SWITCH OFF MODE
When ignition switch is turned to OFF position, the PCM stops operating the injectors, ignition coil,
ASD relay and fuel pump relay.
5 Volt Supplies
5 VOLT SUPPLIES
Two different Powertrain Control Module (PCM) five volt supply circuits are used; primary and
secondary.
Ignition Circuit Sense
IGNITION CIRCUIT SENSE
This circuit ties the ignition switch to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). Battery voltage is
supplied to the PCM through the ignition switch when the ignition is in the Run or Start position.
This is referred to as the "ignition sense" circuit and is used to "wake up" the PCM.
Power Grounds
POWER GROUNDS
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) has 2 main grounds. Both of these grounds are referred to
as power grounds. All of the high-current, noisy, electrical devices are connected to these grounds
as well as all of the sensor returns. The sensor return comes into the sensor return circuit, passes
through noise suppression, and is then connected to the power ground.
The power ground is used to control ground circuits for the following PCM loads:
- Generator field winding
- Fuel injectors
- Ignition coil(s)
- Certain relays/solenoids
- Certain sensors
Sensor Return
SENSOR RETURN
The Sensor Return circuits are internal to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).

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

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

Programming
Engine Control Module: Testing and Inspection SKREEM Programming
SKREEM PROGRAMMING
When a Powertrain Control Module (PCM) for a gasoline engine, or an Engine Control Module
(ECM) for a diesel engine and the Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM) (also known as
the Wireless Control Module/WCM) on vehicles equipped with the Sentry Key Immobilizer System
(SKIS) are replaced at the same time, perform the following steps in order:
1. Program the new PCM/ECM.
2. Program the new SKREEM/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/ECM or SKREEM/WCM is replaced, it is necessary to program the Secret
Key into the new module using a diagnostic scan tool. Follow the programming steps outlined in
the diagnostic scan tool for PCM REPLACED, ECM REPLACED, WCM REPLACED, or
GATEWAY REPLACED under MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS for the WIRELESS CONTROL
MODULE/WCM menu item as appropriate.
NOTE: Be certain to enter the correct country code for the SKREEM/WCM. If the incorrect country
code is programmed into the SKREEM, it cannot be changed and the SKREEM must be replaced.
NOTE: In addition, the SKREEM/WCM must be configured for certain optional equipment in the
vehicle, including Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM), Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) and Remote Start.
Follow the programming steps outlined in the diagnostic scan tool under MISCELLANEOUS
FUNCTIONS for the WCM/WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE menu item as appropriate.
NOTE: A replacement SKREEM/WCM is supplied with TPM enabled by default; therefore, if the
vehicle is not equipped with TPM, the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) will incorrectly
learn that the vehicle has TPM after the replacement SKREEM is installed. The TPM indicator in
the EMIC will illuminate to show a TPM fault condition after TPM has been disabled in the
SKREEM. The EMIC must unlearn TPM to correct this false TPM indication. Follow the
programming steps outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for CLEAR LEARNED FEATURES under
MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS for the INSTRUMENT CLUSTER 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 three attempts are made to enter secure access mode using an
incorrect PIN, secure access mode will be locked out for one hour. To exit this lockout mode, turn
the ignition to the RUN position for one hour then enter the correct PIN. Be certain that all
accessories are turned OFF. Also monitor the battery state and connect a battery charger if
necessary.
PROGRAMMING IGNITION KEYS TO THE SKREEM
Each ignition key transponder also has a unique ID code that is assigned at the time the key is
manufactured. When a key is programmed into the SKREEM/WCM, the transponder ID code is
learned by the module and the transponder acquires the unique Secret Key ID code from the
SKREEM/WCM. To program ignition keys into the SKREEM/WCM, follow the programming steps
outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for PROGRAM IGNITION KEYS OR KEY FOBS under
MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS for the WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE/WCM menu item.
NOTE: A maximum of eight keys can be learned to each SKREEM. Once a key is learned to a
SKREEM, that key has acquired the Secret Key for that SKREEM and cannot be transferred to any
other SKREEM or vehicle.
If ignition key programming is unsuccessful, the scan tool will display one of the following error
messages:
- PROGRAMMING NOT ATTEMPTED - The scan tool attempts to read the programmed key status
and there are no keys programmed into SKREEM memory.
- PROGRAMMING KEY FAILED (POSSIBLE USED KEY FROM WRONG VEHICLE) - SKREEM is
unable to program an ignition key transponder due to one of the following:
- The ignition key transponder is ineffective.
- The ignition key transponder is or has been already programmed to another vehicle.
- 8 KEYS ALREADY LEARNED, PROGRAMMING NOT DONE - The SKREEM transponder ID
memory is full.
- LEARNED KEY IN IGNITION - The ID for the ignition key transponder currently in the ignition lock
cylinder is already programmed into

PCM/ECM REPROGRAMMING
MODULE REPROGRAMING
Replacement PCM's will require programming utilizing the StarSCAN(R) or equivalent. The PCM
will not operate the engine until it is programmed. A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be set "not programmed".
CAUTION: Extreme care must be taken when programming a calibration into a generic PCM. Do
not randomly select a calibration. Once a calibration is selected and programmed, the controller
cannot be reprogrammed to a different calibration. The module can only be reprogrammed to a
more recent version of that calibration.

PCM OUTPUT
The ASD relay supplies battery voltage (12+ volts) to the fuel injectors and ignition coil(s). With
certain emissions packages it also supplies 12-volts to the oxygen sensor heating elements.
The ground circuit for the coil within the ASD relay is controlled by the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). The PCM operates the ASD relay by switching its ground circuit on and off.
The ASD relay will be shut-down, meaning the 12-volt power supply to the ASD relay will be
de-activated by the PCM if:
- The ignition key is left in the ON position. This is if the engine has not been running for
approximately 1.8 seconds.
- There is a crankshaft position sensor signal to the PCM that is lower than pre-determined values.

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

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

Air Bag Control Module: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The microprocessor in the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) 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) (also known 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
over the CAN data bus to turn ON the airbag indicator. An active fault only remains for the duration
of the fault, or in some cases for the duration of the current ignition switch cycle, while a stored fault
causes a DTC to be stored in memory by the ORC. For some DTCs, if a fault does not recur for a
number of ignition cycles, the ORC will automatically erase the stored DTC. For other internal
faults, the stored DTC is latched forever.
The ORC receives battery current through two circuits; a fused ignition switch output (run) circuit
through a fuse in the Junction Block (JB), and a fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit
through a second fuse in the JB. The ORC receives ground through a ground circuit and take out of
the instrument panel wire harness. This take out has a single eyelet terminal connector that is
secured by a ground screw near the center of the instrument panel structural support. These
connections allow the ORC to be operational whenever the ignition switch is in the START or ON
positions.
The ORC also contains an energy-storage capacitor. When the ignition switch is in the START or
ON positions, this capacitor is continually being charged with enough electrical energy to deploy
the 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. The ORC also monitors inputs from an internal rollover
sensor and six additional remote impact sensors located on the left and right front door beams, the
inner C-pillars and inner D-pillars to control deployment of the side curtain airbag units.
The safing sensor is an electronic accelerometer sensor within the ORC that provides an additional
logic input to the ORC microprocessor. The safing sensor is used to verify the need for a
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. A second safing sensor within the ORC provides confirmation to the ORC
microprocessor of side impact forces. This second safing sensor is a bi-directional unit that detects
impact forces from either side of the vehicle.
Pre-programmed decision algorithms in the ORC microprocessor determine when the deceleration
rate as signaled by the impact sensors and the safing sensors indicate an impact that is severe
enough to require 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 either side curtain airbag unit.
The hard wired inputs and outputs for the ORC may be diagnosed using conventional diagnostic
tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information. However, conventional
diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the ORC or the electronic controls
or communication between other modules and devices that provide features of the supplemental
restraint system. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the ORC or the
electronic controls and communication related to ORC operation requires the use of a diagnostic
scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Starter Relay: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The ISO relay consists of an electromagnetic coil, a resistor or diode, and three (two fixed and one
movable) electrical contacts. The movable (common feed) relay contact is held against one of the
fixed contacts (normally closed) by spring pressure. When electromagnetic coil is energized, it
draws the movable contact away from normally closed fixed contact, and holds it against the other
(normally open) fixed contact.
When electromagnetic coil is de-energized, spring pressure returns movable contact to normally
closed position. The resistor or diode is connected in parallel with electromagnetic coil within relay,
and helps to dissipate voltage spikes produced when coil is de-energized.

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

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

Modules - A/T > Control Module, A/T > Component Information > Description and Operation > Description > Page 591
SHIFT SCHEDULES
As mentioned earlier, the TCM has programming that allows it to select a variety of shift schedules.
Shift schedule selection is dependent on the following:
- Shift lever position
- Throttle position
- Engine load
- Fluid temperature
- Software level
As driving conditions change, the TCM appropriately adjusts the shift schedule. Refer to the
following chart to determine the appropriate operation expected, depending on driving conditions.

Transmission Control System Relay: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
When the relay is "off", no power is supplied to the solenoid pack and the transmission is in
"limp-in" mode. After a controller reset, the TCM energizes the relay. Prior to this, the TCM verifies
that the contacts are open by checking for no voltage at the switched battery terminals. After this is
verified, the voltage at the solenoid pack pressure switches is checked. After the relay is energized,
the TCM monitors the terminals to verify that the voltage is greater than 3 volts.

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

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

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

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

Parking Assist Distance Sensor: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with the park assist system have four park assist sensors (1) installed on the
rear bumper fascia. Only the membrane (3) of each sensor is visible through a hole in the outer
vertical surface of the fascia. The remainder of each sensor including the sensor mounting bracket,
the sensor spacer and the sensor wiring connection is concealed behind the fascia. A sensor wire
harness behind the fascia connects the sensors to the vehicle electrical system.
Each of the four sensors is identical in construction and is interchangeable. The electronic circuitry
and a communication chip for each sensor is enclosed and protected within the molded black
plastic sensor housing. The housing includes an integral connector receptacle (4) and two integral
latch tabs (2). The sensor membrane extends from the surface of the sensor housing, and is
finished to match or contrast with the outer surface of the fascia.
A resilient O-ring spacer around the circumference of each of the four sensor membranes (2)
isolates the membrane from the openings in the fascia (1). Each sensor is snapped into its own
dedicated molded plastic mounting bracket. Each mounting bracket is heat-staked to the back side
of the rear fascia.
The park assist sensors cannot be adjusted or repaired. If ineffective or damaged they must be
replaced. The sensors and the spacers are each available for individual service replacement.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Power Mirror Switch: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
A power mirror switch is located on the driver's door trim panel, attached to the window/lock switch.
The power mirror switch includes the following:
- Power Mirror Selector Switch - A three-position rotary joystick switch selects the right or left power
mirror for adjustment, or turns the power mirror system Off in the center position.
- Power Mirror Adjustment Switch - A momentary joystick directional switch allows the driver to
adjust the selected power mirror in the Up, Down, Right or Left directions.

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

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

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - Body and Frame > Power Seat Switch >
Component Information > Description and Operation > Description > Page 785
Power Seat Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
When a power seat switch is actuated, a battery feed and a ground path are applied through the
switch contacts to the power seat adjuster or recliner adjuster motor. The selected adjuster motor
operates to move the seat or recliner through its drive unit in the selected direction until the switch
is released, or until the travel limit of the adjuster is reached. When the switch is moved in the
opposite direction, the battery feed and ground path to the motor are reversed through the switch
contacts. This causes the adjuster motor to run in the opposite direction.
On vehicles equipped with memory system, a resistance signal is sent to the Memory Seat Module
(MSM) via the Controller Area Network (CAN) bus circuit, when the driver memory seat switch
control knob is actuated. The MSM is responsible for the 12v battery feed and ground path to the
power seat adjuster motor. The adjuster motor operates to move the power seat adjuster
mechanism through its drive unit in the selected direction until the switch is released, or until the
travel limit of the adjuster is reached.
No power seat switch should be held applied in any direction after the adjuster has reached its
travel limit. The power seat adjuster motors each contain a self-resetting circuit breaker to protect
them from overload. However, consecutive or frequent resetting of the circuit breaker may result in
motor damage.

Power Trunk / Liftgate Hazard Sensor: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
Pinch sensors (2) are located on each side of the liftgate (1). These sensors look like
weather-strips, however they consist of pieces of electrically conductive rubber (tapeswitch), wires,
resistor, double sided tape, and a plastic carrier. They are used to indicate an obstruction during a
power liftgate close cycle. The right side pinch sensor contains a thermistor that is integral to the
pinch sensor assembly. The thermistor is a temperature sensor used by the power liftgate control
module to enable proper liftgate operation in extreme climate conditions.

Power Trunk / Liftgate Hazard Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
During a power liftgate "close" cycle, if either of the two conductive rubber strips (tapeswitch) of the
pinch sensor come in contact with an obstacle, the pinch sensor circuit is completed. This tells the
power liftgate control module that a obstruction is felt. The control module will stop the liftgate
immediately and return it to the full open position.
The thermistor portion of the right pinch sensor provides the temperature signal to the power
liftgate control module (temperature is provided when the pinch sensor is in an unpinched
condition; when pinched, temperature is unavailable because the thermistor is shorted). As the
outside temperature increases, the resistance reading decreases. As temperature decreases, the
resistance reading increases.

RIGHT PINCH SENSOR/THERMISTOR
The thermistor portion of the right pinch sensor provides the temperature signal to the power
liftgate control module (temperature is provided when the pinch sensor is in an unpinched
condition; when pinched, temperature is unavailable because the thermistor is shorted). Refer to
the RIGHT PINCH SENSOR/THERMISTOR DIAGNOSTIC TABLE to test the thermistor
resistance.

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

Component Information > Description and Operation > Switch-Heated Seat > Page 827
Compartment Node (CCN). The CCN is responsible for supplying the CAN bus message to the
heated seat module, signaling the module to power the heated seat element of the selected seat
and maintain the temperature setting.
If the heated seat switch is depressed to a different position (Low or High) than the currently
selected state, the CCN will go through the process again to change the temperature setting. If a
heated seat switch is depressed a second time to the same position as the currently selected state,
the CCN and heated seat module interprets the second input as a request to turn the seat heater
OFF. The CCN will then signal the heated seat module to turn the heated seat elements for that
seat off.
The backlighting LED's in each of the heated seat switches receive battery current through a fused
ignition switch output (run) circuit when the ignition switch is in the On position. The ground side of
the indicator lamp is divided by a separate lamp driver circuit in the CCN.

Seat Heater Switch: Description and Operation Switch/Module - Second Row Heated Seat
Description
DESCRIPTION
Momentary contact push button switch/modules (2) mounted in the front face of the second row
center floor console (3) operate the heated second row seat system. Each heated seat
switch/module has two Light-Emitting Diode (LED) indicator lamps, which indicate the selected
level (Low or High) of the seat heater. Pressing the switch/module button initiates heat. Heat
remains on until switched off or until the ignition is turned off. If switched off by the ignition, a
switch/module button must be pressed to restart heating.
The switch/modules contain the solid state electronic control and diagnostic logic circuitry for the
heated second row seat system. If any of the heated second row seat elements are inoperative or
damaged one or more of the LED lamps in the switch/module for the effected seat will flash.
The LED indicator lamps in each heated seat switch/module cannot be repaired. If the LED lamps
are inoperative or damaged, or the switch/module is inoperative or damaged the individual heated
seat switch/module assembly must be replaced.
Operation
OPERATION
A Heated Seat Switch/Module is used to control the heated second row seat system. The heated
seat switch/modules receive battery current through a fused ignition switch output (run) circuit
when the ignition switch is in the On position. The switch/module responds to heated seat
switch/module button input and ignition switch status inputs by controlling the 12v output to the
front seat heating elements through integral solid-state relays.
When either of the heated seat switch/module buttons are depressed the heating element for the
selected seat is energized. Amber Light Emitting Diodes (LEDS) on the side of each switch/module
indicate the level of heat in use: Two LEDs are illuminated for high, one for low, and none for off.
Pressing the switch/module button once will select high-level heating. Pressing the button a second
time will select low-level heating. Pressing the button a third time will shut the heating elements off.
The heated seat switch/module energizes an integral solid-state relay, which supplies battery
current to the heating elements. When high-temperature heating is selected, the heaters provide a
boosted heat level during the first four minutes of operation after heating is activated. The heat
output then drops to the normal high-temperature level. If high-level heating is selected, the control
system will automatically switch to the low level after thirty minutes of continuous operation. At that
time, the number of illuminated LEDs changes from two to one, indicating the change. Operation
on the low setting will continue for another thirty minutes and the system will then be automatically
turned off.

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

Trunk / Liftgate Switch: Description and Operation Overhead Console Liftgate Switch
Description
DESCRIPTION
NOTE: The overhead console shown contains a combination power liftgate/power sunroof switch.
Vehicles equipped with the power liftgate and no sunroof contain a single power liftgate switch
only.
NOTE: On vehicles equipped with both a power sunroof and power liftgate the overhead console
switches are serviced together as one assembly.
NOTE: Durango overhead console with Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) shown.
Aspen overhead console similar.
The power liftgate switch (3) is mounted in the overhead console assembly (1) between the reading
lamps (2). The switch is snapped into mounting slots in the overhead console assembly. The
momentary, push button-type power liftgate switch, provides a hardwired signal to the Power
Liftgate Control Module.
If the switch is inoperative or damaged the power liftgate/power sunroof switch assembly must be
replaced.
Operation
OPERATION
Battery voltage is supplied to the power liftgate system through a fuse, located in the Integrated
Power Module (IPM) assembly. When the power liftgate switch is pushed, a hardwired signal is
sent to the Power Liftgate Control Module. The power liftgate control module then interprets the
information to confirm safety requirements are met before applying power to the power liftgate drive
unit to start a power cycle.
During a power liftgate open or close cycle, if the power liftgate control module detects sufficient
resistance to liftgate travel, such as an obstruction in the liftgate's path. The control module will
immediately stop liftgate movement and reverse the direction of travel to the full open or closed
position.

Trunk / Liftgate Switch: Description and Operation Exterior Handle Switch
Description
DESCRIPTION
All vehicles are equipped with a power liftgate exterior handle switch. The switch is integral to the
power liftgate latch assembly. It is activated by the exterior handle, located in the license plate light
bar, through a mechanical link rod attaching the two together. The power liftgate exterior handle
switch is primarily used for manual opening of the liftgate. Activation of the switch during a
automatic power "close" cycle will cause the liftgate to reverse direction. Activation of the switch
during a power "open" cycle will cause the power liftgate to disengage, allowing full manual
operation.
The exterior handle cannot be adjusted or repaired and if damaged it must be replaced.
The power liftgate exterior handle switch cannot be adjusted or repaired and if damaged or
inoperative the complete power liftgate latch assembly must be replaced.
Operation
OPERATION
When the exterior liftgate handle is pulled, a mechanical linkage inside the liftgate depresses the
power liftgate exterior handle switch in the power liftgate latch assembly. A hard-wired signal is
then detected by the Power Liftgate Control Module. The power liftgate control module then looks
at the vehicle lock status on the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus. If the vehicle is not
locked and the operating conditions are met, the power liftgate control module then applies power
to the latch mounted motor, which moves the liftgate from the primary closed and latched position
to the open and movable position.
If the liftgate is not pulled open within seven seconds, once the latch releases, the latch will
automatically cinch closed.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Component Information > Description and Operation > Description > Page 1004
Cruise Control Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
When speed control is selected by depressing the ON, OFF switch, the PCM allows a set speed to
be stored in its RAM for speed control. To store a set speed, depress the SET switch while the
vehicle is moving at a speed between approximately 35 (56.2kph) and 85 mph (136.8kph). In order
for the speed control to engage, the brakes cannot be applied, nor can the gear selector be
indicating the transmission is in Park or Neutral.
The speed control can be disengaged manually by:
- Stepping on the brake pedal
- Depressing the OFF switch
- Depressing the CANCEL switch.
The speed control can be disengaged also by any of the following conditions:
- An indication of Park or Neutral (auto. trans.)
- The VSS signal increases at a rate of 10 mph (16 kph) per second (indicates that the co-efficient
of friction between the road surface and tires is extremely low)
- Depressing the clutch pedal (manual trans.).
- Excessive engine rpm (indicates that the transmission may be in a low gear)
- The VSS signal decreases at a rate of 10 mph (16 kph) per second (indicates that the vehicle
may have decelerated at an extremely high rate)
- If the actual speed is not within 20 mph (32.1 kph) of the set speed
The previous disengagement conditions are programmed for added safety.
Once the speed control has been disengaged, depressing the ACCEL switch restores the vehicle
to the target speed that was stored in the PCM's RAM
NOTE: Depressing the OFF switch will erase the set speed stored in the PCM's RAM.
If, while the speed control is engaged, the driver wishes to increase vehicle speed, the PCM is
programmed for an acceleration feature. With the ACCEL switch held closed, the vehicle
accelerates slowly to the desired speed. The new target speed is stored in the PCM's RAM when
the ACCEL switch is released. The PCM also has a "tap-up" feature in which vehicle speed
increases at a rate of approximately 2 mph (3.2 kph) for each momentary switch activation of the
ACCEL switch.
The PCM also provides a means to decelerate without disengaging speed control. To decelerate
from an existing recorded target speed, depress and hold the COAST switch until the desired
speed is reached. Then release the switch. The ON, OFF switch operates two components: the
PCM's ON, OFF input, and the battery voltage to the brake switch.

Ambient Temperature Sensor / Switch HVAC: Description and Operation Heating and Air
Conditioning
Description
DESCRIPTION
The ambient air temperature sensor is a variable resistor that monitors the air temperature outside
of the vehicle. The ambient air temperature sensor is mounted onto the inside of the front bumper
beam and its data is used by the heating-A/C system to maintain optimum cabin temperature
levels.
Operation
OPERATION
The ambient air temperature sensor is a variable resistor that operates on a ground circuit and a
5-volt reference signal circuit sent by the front control module (FCM) through a two-wire lead and
connector of the vehicle wire harness. The ambient air temperature sensor changes its internal
resistance in response to changes in the outside air temperature, which either increases or
decreases the reference signal voltage read by the FCM. The FCM converts and broadcasts the
sensor data over the controller area network (CAN) B bus, where it is read by the A/C-heater
control and other various vehicle control modules.
The ambient air temperature sensor is diagnosed using a scan tool.
The ambient air temperature sensor cannot be adjusted or repaired must be replaced if found
inoperative or damaged.

compartment.
For complete circuit diagrams refer to Diagrams/Electrical. The ambient temperature sensor cannot
be adjusted or repaired and, if inoperative or damaged, it must be replaced.
Operation
OPERATION
The ambient temperature sensor is a variable resistor that operates on a five-volt reference signal
sent to it by the A/C-heater control. The resistance in the sensor changes as temperature changes,
changing the temperature sensor signal circuit voltage to the A/C-heater control. Based upon the
resistance in the sensor, the A/C-heater control senses a specific voltage on the temperature
sensor signal circuit, which it is programmed to correspond to a specific temperature.

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

Evaporator Temperature Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation 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 resistance reading as an indication that conditions are correct to
broadcast an A/C request message on the controller area network (CAN) B bus, where it is read by
the front control module (FCM). The FCM then requests the powertrain control module (PCM) to
cycle the A/C compressor clutch as necessary over the CAN C bus.
The evaporator temperature sensor is diagnosed using a scan tool.
The evaporator temperature sensor cannot be adjusted or repaired and 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 discharge line. The A/C pressure transducer will change its
internal resistance in response to the pressures it monitors. A Schrader-type valve in the discharge
line fitting permits the A/C pressure transducer to be removed or installed without disturbing the
refrigerant in the A/C system.
The front control module (FCM) provides a five volt reference signal to the A/C pressure
transducer, then monitors the output voltage of the A/C pressure transducer on a sensor return
circuit to determine refrigerant pressure. The FCM broadcasts a refrigerant pressure message to
the PCM, which is programmed to respond to the A/C pressure transducer and other sensor inputs
by controlling the operation of the A/C compressor clutch and the radiator cooling fan to help
optimize A/C system performance and to protect the system components from damage. The PCM
will disengage the A/C compressor clutch when high side pressure rises above 3275 kPa (475 psi)
and re-engage the clutch when high side pressure drops below 1999 kPa (290 psi). The A/C
pressure transducer will also disengage the A/C compressor clutch if the high side pressure drops
below 193 kPa (28 psi) and will re-engage the clutch when the high side pressure rises above 234
kPa (34 psi). If the refrigerant pressure rises above 1655 kPa (240 psi), the PCM will actuate the
cooling fan. The A/C pressure transducer message to the PCM will also prevent the A/C
compressor clutch from engaging when ambient temperatures are below about 4.5° C (40° F) due
to the pressure/temperature relationship of the refrigerant. Refer to the Electric A/C Condenser
Cooling Fan Switch Point chart for condenser cooling fan on/off pressures.
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

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

Solar Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The infrared sensor detects thermal radiation emitted by the front seat occupants and surroundings
and converts its data into a linear pulse width modulated (PWM) output signal, which is sent to the
compass temperature module (EOM) through a two-wire lead and connector of the vehicle wire
harness. The EOM sends a message over the controller area network (CAN) B bus where it is read
by the automatic temperature control (ATC) A/C-heater control. The ATC A/C-heater control uses
the infrared sensor data as one of the inputs necessary to automatically control the interior cabin
temperature level. By using thermal radiation (surface temperature) measurement, rather than an
air temperature measurement, the ATC heating-A/C system is able to adjust itself to the comfort
level as perceived by the occupants. This allows the ATC system to compensate for other ambient
conditions affecting comfort levels, such as solar heat gain or evaporative heat loss.
The ATC system logic responds to the infrared sensor message from the EOM by calculating and
adjusting the air flow temperature and air flow rate needed to properly obtain and maintain the
selected comfort level temperature of the occupants. The EOM continually monitors the infrared
sensor circuits, and will store a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) for any problem it detects.
The infrared sensor is diagnosed using a scan tool.
The infrared sensor cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if found inoperative or
damaged.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
Two knock sensors are bolted into the cylinder block under the intake manifold 3.7L & 4.7L.
Two knock sensors are also used with the 5.7L. These are bolted into each side of the cylinder
block (outside) under the exhaust manifold.

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
Two knock sensors are used; one for each cylinder bank. When the knock sensor detects a knock
in one of the cylinders on the corresponding bank, it sends an input signal to the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM). In response, the PCM retards ignition timing for all cylinders by a scheduled
amount.
Knock sensors contain a piezoelectric 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 the knock sensor voltage signal as an input. If the signal rises above a
predetermined level, the PCM will store that value in memory and retard ignition timing to reduce
engine knock. If the knock sensor voltage exceeds a preset value, the PCM retards ignition timing
for all cylinders. It is not a selective cylinder retard.
The PCM ignores knock sensor input during engine idle conditions. Once the engine speed
exceeds a specified value, knock retard is allowed.
Knock retard uses its own short term and long term memory program.
Long term memory stores previous detonation information in its battery-backed RAM. The
maximum authority that long term memory has over timing retard can be calibrated.
Short term memory is allowed to retard timing up to a preset amount under all operating conditions
(as long as rpm is above the minimum rpm) except at Wide Open Throttle (WOT). The PCM, using
short term memory, can respond quickly to retard timing when engine knock is detected. Short term
memory is lost any time the ignition key is turned off.
NOTE: Over or under tightening the sensor mounting bolts will affect knock sensor performance,
possibly causing improper spark control. Always use the specified torque when installing the knock
sensors.

Manifold Pressure/Vacuum Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The MAP sensor is used as an input to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). It contains a silicon
based sensing unit to provide data on the manifold vacuum that draws the air/fuel mixture into the
combustion chamber. The PCM requires this information to determine injector pulse width and
spark advance. When manifold absolute pressure (MAP) equals Barometric pressure, the pulse
width will be at maximum.
A 5 volt reference is supplied from the PCM and returns a voltage signal to the PCM that reflects
manifold pressure. The zero pressure reading is 0.5V and full scale is 4.5V. For a pressure swing
of 0-15 psi, the voltage changes 4.0V. To operate the sensor, it is supplied a regulated 4.8 to 5.1
volts. Ground is provided through the low-noise, sensor return circuit at the PCM.
The MAP sensor input is the number one contributor to fuel injector pulse width. The most
important function of the MAP sensor is to determine barometric pressure. The PCM needs to
know if the vehicle is at sea level or at a higher altitude, because the air density changes with
altitude. It will also help to correct for varying barometric pressure. Barometric pressure and altitude
have a direct inverse correlation; as altitude goes up, barometric goes down. At key-on, the PCM
powers up and looks at MAP voltage, and based upon the voltage it sees, it knows the current
barometric pressure (relative to altitude). Once the engine starts, the PCM looks at the voltage
again, continuously every 12 milliseconds, and compares the current voltage to what it was at
key-on. The difference between current voltage and what it was at key-on, is manifold vacuum.
During key-on (engine not running) the sensor reads (updates) barometric pressure. A normal
range can be obtained by monitoring a known good sensor.
As the altitude increases, the air becomes thinner (less oxygen). If a vehicle is started and driven to
a very different altitude than where it was at key-on, the barometric pressure needs to be updated.
Any time the PCM sees Wide Open Throttle (WOT), based upon Throttle Position Sensor (TPS)
angle and RPM, it will update barometric pressure in the MAP memory cell. With periodic updates,
the PCM can make its calculations more effectively.
The PCM uses the MAP sensor input to aid in calculating the following:
- Manifold pressure
- Barometric pressure
- Engine load
- Injector pulse-width
- Spark-advance programs
- Shift-point strategies (certain automatic transmissions only)
- Idle speed
- Decel fuel shutoff
The MAP sensor signal is provided from a single piezoresistive element located in the center of a
diaphragm. The element and diaphragm are both made of silicone. As manifold pressure changes,
the diaphragm moves causing the element to deflect, which stresses the silicone. When silicone is
exposed to stress, its resistance changes. As manifold vacuum increases, the MAP sensor input
voltage decreases proportionally. The sensor also contains electronics that condition the signal and
provide temperature compensation.
The PCM recognizes a decrease in manifold pressure by monitoring a decrease in voltage from the
reading stored in the barometric pressure memory cell. The MAP sensor is a linear sensor;
meaning as pressure changes, voltage changes proportionately. The range of voltage output from
the sensor is usually between 4.6 volts at sea level to as low as 0.3 volts at 26 in. of Hg. Barometric
pressure is the pressure exerted by the atmosphere upon an object. At sea level on a standard
day, no storm, barometric pressure is approximately 29.92 in Hg. For every 100 feet of altitude,
barometric pressure drops 0.10 in. Hg. If a storm goes through, it can change barometric pressure
from what should be present for that altitude. You should know what the average pressure and
corresponding barometric pressure is for your area.

Throttle Position Sensor: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The 3-wire Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) is mounted on the throttle body and is connected to the
throttle blade shaft.
The 5.7L V-8 engine does not use a separate TPS on the throttle body. If it is determined that TPS
signal is bad, due to the sensor itself, the throttle body will need to be replaced.

Throttle Position Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The 5.7L V-8 engine does not use a separate Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) on the throttle body.
The 3-wire TPS provides the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) with an input signal (voltage) that
represents the throttle blade position of the throttle body. The sensor is connected to the throttle
blade shaft. As the position of the throttle blade changes, the output voltage of the TPS changes.
The PCM supplies approximately 5 volts to the TPS. The TPS output voltage (input signal to the
PCM) represents the throttle blade position. The PCM receives an input signal voltage from the
TPS. This will vary in an approximate range of from 0.26 volts at minimum throttle opening (idle), to
4.49 volts at wide open throttle. Along with inputs from other sensors, the PCM uses the TPS input
to determine current engine operating conditions. In response to engine operating conditions, the
PCM will adjust fuel injector pulse width and ignition timing.
The PCM needs to identify the actions and position of the throttle blade at all times. This
information is needed to assist in performing the following calculations:
- Ignition timing advance
- Fuel injection pulse-width
- Idle (learned value or minimum TPS)
- Off-idle (0.06 volt)
- Wide Open Throttle (WOT) open loop (2.608 volts above learned idle voltage)
- Deceleration fuel lean out
- Fuel cutoff during cranking at WOT (2.608 volts above learned idle voltage)
- A/C WOT cutoff (certain automatic transmissions only).

Transmission Position Switch/Sensor: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) is part of the solenoid module, which is mounted to the top
of the valve body inside the transmission.
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) has five switch contact pins that:
- Determine shift lever position
- Supply ground to the Starter Relay in Park and Neutral only.
- Supply +12 V to the backup lamps in Reverse only.
The TRS also has an integrated temperature sensor (thermistor) that communicates transmission
temperature to the TCM and PCM.

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

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 Group 30, so it is shown there
complete. It can, however, be shown partially in another group if it contains some associated
wiring.
Splice diagrams show the entire splice and provide references to other sections the splices serves.
Spice Information contains splice diagrams that are not shown in their entirety somewhere else in
the wiring diagrams.

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.

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 1443
- 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.

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

Throttle Position Sensor: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The 3-wire Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) is mounted on the throttle body and is connected to the
throttle blade shaft.
The 5.7L V-8 engine does not use a separate TPS on the throttle body. If it is determined that TPS
signal is bad, due to the sensor itself, the throttle body will need to be replaced.

> Description > Page 1458
Throttle Position Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The 5.7L V-8 engine does not use a separate Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) on the throttle body.
The 3-wire TPS provides the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) with an input signal (voltage) that
represents the throttle blade position of the throttle body. The sensor is connected to the throttle
blade shaft. As the position of the throttle blade changes, the output voltage of the TPS changes.
The PCM supplies approximately 5 volts to the TPS. The TPS output voltage (input signal to the
PCM) represents the throttle blade position. The PCM receives an input signal voltage from the
TPS. This will vary in an approximate range of from 0.26 volts at minimum throttle opening (idle), to
4.49 volts at wide open throttle. Along with inputs from other sensors, the PCM uses the TPS input
to determine current engine operating conditions. In response to engine operating conditions, the
PCM will adjust fuel injector pulse width and ignition timing.
The PCM needs to identify the actions and position of the throttle blade at all times. This
information is needed to assist in performing the following calculations:
- Ignition timing advance
- Fuel injection pulse-width
- Idle (learned value or minimum TPS)
- Off-idle (0.06 volt)
- Wide Open Throttle (WOT) open loop (2.608 volts above learned idle voltage)
- Deceleration fuel lean out
- Fuel cutoff during cranking at WOT (2.608 volts above learned idle voltage)
- A/C WOT cutoff (certain automatic transmissions only).

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

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

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
Two knock sensors are bolted into the cylinder block under the intake manifold 3.7L & 4.7L.
Two knock sensors are also used with the 5.7L. These are bolted into each side of the cylinder
block (outside) under the exhaust manifold.

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
Two knock sensors are used; one for each cylinder bank. When the knock sensor detects a knock
in one of the cylinders on the corresponding bank, it sends an input signal to the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM). In response, the PCM retards ignition timing for all cylinders by a scheduled
amount.
Knock sensors contain a piezoelectric 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 the knock sensor voltage signal as an input. If the signal rises above a
predetermined level, the PCM will store that value in memory and retard ignition timing to reduce
engine knock. If the knock sensor voltage exceeds a preset value, the PCM retards ignition timing
for all cylinders. It is not a selective cylinder retard.
The PCM ignores knock sensor input during engine idle conditions. Once the engine speed
exceeds a specified value, knock retard is allowed.
Knock retard uses its own short term and long term memory program.
Long term memory stores previous detonation information in its battery-backed RAM. The
maximum authority that long term memory has over timing retard can be calibrated.
Short term memory is allowed to retard timing up to a preset amount under all operating conditions
(as long as rpm is above the minimum rpm) except at Wide Open Throttle (WOT). The PCM, using
short term memory, can respond quickly to retard timing when engine knock is detected. Short term
memory is lost any time the ignition key is turned off.
NOTE: Over or under tightening the sensor mounting bolts will affect knock sensor performance,
possibly causing improper spark control. Always use the specified torque when installing the knock
sensors.

5.7L
1. Thoroughly clean knock sensor mounting hole.
2. Install sensor (1) into cylinder block (3).
NOTE: Over or under tightening the sensor mounting bolts will affect knock sensor performance,
possibly causing improper spark control. Always use the specified torque when installing the knock
sensors. The torque for the knock sensor bolt is relatively light for an 8 mm bolt (2).
NOTE: Note foam strip on bolt threads. This foam is used only to retain the bolts to sensors for
plant assembly. It is not used as a sealant. Do not apply any adhesive, sealant or thread locking
compound to these bolts.
3. Install and tighten mounting bolt (2). Tighten to 15 ± 2 ft. lbs. (20 Nm) (176 in. lbs.).
4. Install electrical connector to sensor (5).

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

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

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

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

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

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

Tire Pressure Sensor: Service Precautions
CAUTION
CAUTION: The use of tire sealants is not recommended for vehicles equipped with the Tire
Pressure Monitoring system. Tire sealants may clog tire pressure sensors.
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: It is not recommended to install a tire pressure sensor in an aftermarket wheel. Use tire
pressure sensors in original style factory wheels only.
CAUTION: Any time a sensor is to be reinstalled in a wheel, a new seal, cap and valve core must
be installed on the stem to ensure air tight sealing.
NOTE: TPM thresholds have been established for the original tire size equipped on the vehicle.
Use original size tires only to maintain system accuracy.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
NOTE: On vehicles equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), when the spare tire
pressure sensor is replaced with a new pressure sensor, a diagnostic scan tool MUST be used to
run a routine that will program the new pressure sensor ID into the Wireless Control Module
(WCM), commonly referred to as the Sentry Key Remote Entry Module (SKREEM). Please copy
the ID number off of the new pressure sensor before installing it into the spare tire. Then follow the
programming steps outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for: "Learn Spare Tire Sensor ID" under
Miscellaneous Functions for the "WCM/Wireless Control Module" menu item as appropriate.Then
install the spare tire with one of the active road tires.
NOTE: If replacing the WCM, the spare tire must be dismounted from its wheel to access and note
the spare tire pressure sensor ID. Then follow the programming steps outlined in the diagnostic
scan tool for "Learn Spare Tire Sensor ID" under Miscellaneous Functions for the WCM wireless
control module menu item as appropriate. In addition, the placard pressure thresholds must be
updated in the new WCM. Go to "Update Pressure Thresholds" under Miscellaneous Functions for
the WCM wireless control module and follow the procedure.
On vehicles equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring System, one tire pressure sensor (6) is
mounted to each wheel in place of the traditional tire valve stem. Each sensor has an internal
battery that lasts up to 10 years. The battery is not serviceable. At the time of battery failure, the
sensor must be replaced.
The TPM system operates on a 315 MHz radio frequency. The 315 MHz sensors can be easily
identified by a black sensor body, with (an oval insignia) (1) and a grey valve cap (2).
The Export TPM system operates on a 433 MHz radio frequency. The 433 MHz sensors can be
easily identified by a gray sensor body (with an oval insignia) and a black valve cap (2).
CAUTION: Although 315 MHz and 433 MHz sensors are identical in size and shape, they are not
interchangeable. Always make sure the correct sensor is being used.
NOTE: 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. The tire must be dismounted allowing visual inspection of the
sensor body.
NOTE: If aftermarket wheels are installed and do not contain tire pressure sensors, the system will
not function properly and the driver will be continuously notified of a system malfunction.
The TPM sensors are designed for original style factory wheels. It is not recommended to install a
tire pressure sensor in an aftermarket wheel. (This could cause sealing and system performance
issues).

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

Tire Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
NOTE: On vehicles equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), when the spare tire
pressure sensor is replaced with a new pressure sensor, a diagnostic scan tool MUST be used to
run a routine that will program the new pressure sensor ID into the wireless control module (WCM),
commonly referred to as the sentry key remote entry module (SKREEM). Please copy the ID
number off of the new pressure sensor before installing it into the spare tire. Then follow the
programming steps outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for: "Learn Spare Tire Sensor ID" under
Miscellaneous Functions for the WCM wireless control module menu item as appropriate. Then
install the spare tire with one of the active road tires.
NOTE: If replacing the WCM, the spare tire must be dismounted from its wheel to access and note
the spare tire pressure sensor ID. Then follow the programming steps outlined in the diagnostic
scan tool for "Learn Spare Tire Sensor ID" under Miscellaneous Functions for the WCM wireless
control module menu item as appropriate. In addition, the placard pressure thresholds must be
updated in the new WCM. Go to "Update Pressure Thresholds" under Miscellaneous Functions for
the WCM wireless control module and follow the procedure.
The battery operated tire pressure sensor is both a transmitter and a receiver. The TPM sensor can
be forced to transmit if using a special tool such as a TPM-RKE Analyzer, or from a transponder.
The TPM-RKE Analyzer has the ability to change the sensor's operating mode and to diagnose a
faulty TPM sensor. Using a TPM-RKE Analyzer can take up to a minute to force a transmission
from a sensor. The TPM sensor can be in one of the following modes:
- Sleep Mode - 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). If the vehicle is not moving, the sensor will only transmit on a pressure change
greater then 1 PSI. Driving the vehicle continuously at this speed for more then 4 minutes, and then
stopping the vehicle will change the sensor state into Park Mode. If the vehicle is equipped with a
full size matching spare tire and the spare tire sensor has been replaced, The sensor must be
changed to Park Mode to conserve battery life. Either use a TPM-RKE Analyzer, or swap the spare
tire with a road tire.
- Park Mode - This is the correct operating mode when the vehicle is not moving. The sensor will
transmit once every 13 hours to update the WCM, or will transmit on a 1 PSI delta change. The
sensors will internally take a measurement of the tire pressure every minute to determine a change
in tire pressure
- 0ff / 30 Block - 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 revert back to Park Mode. 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 m.p.h. (24 Km/h)" after a sensor has been replaced, The vehicle must be stationary for more
than 20 minutes in order to initiate the learning sequence.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Testing and Inspection
TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR
NOTE: Tire pressure may increase from 14 to 41 kPa (2 to 6 psi) during normal driving conditions.
Do NOT reduce this normal pressure build up.
Check the tire pressure yellow telltale in the instrument cluster. If the yellow telltale is illuminating
continuously, proceed as listed below. If the yellow telltale is flashing on/off for 60 seconds, once
every ten minutes, there is a system fault detected. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
When diagnosing a tire pressure issue, always check air pressure in the tires first with a known
accurate air gauge. Adjust air pressure as necessary to that listed on the Tire Inflation Pressure
Label (Placard) provided with the vehicle (usually applied to the driver's side B-pillar). After
adjusting air pressure in a tire, allow approximately two minutes for the message or yellow telltale
to go out.
If air pressure in any tire is low, inspect all the tires for leaks. A water "dunk tank" or other water
test may be used to check for a leak around the tire assembly and sensor as long as any water at
the valve core is removed once the procedure is completed. The water can be easily expelled from
the core area by pushing in on the core for several seconds, allowing escaping air to drive out any
moisture. Reinflate the tire as necessary. Always make sure the original valve stem cap is securely
installed to keep moisture out of the sensor.
If the gauge-read pressure in the tires does not indicate a tire pressure issue, refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.

REMOVAL
1. Raise and support vehicle. 2. Remove the tire and wheel assembly.
CAUTION: The cap used on this valve stem contains an O-ring seal to prevent contamination and
moisture from entering the valve stem. Retain this valve stem cap for reuse. Do not substitute a
regular valve stem cap in its place.
CAUTION: The valve stem used on this vehicle is made of aluminum and the core is nickel plated
brass. The original valve stem core must be reinstalled and not substituted with a valve stem core
made of a different material. This is required to prevent corrosion in the valve stem caused by the
different metals.
3. Let the air out of the tire. 4. Remove the nut (3). 5. Push the sensor into the tire (1) (so the
sensor is loose inside the tire). 6. Remove the tire from the rim. 7. Retrieve the sensor (1) from the
tire.

4. While holding sensor in position, tighten sensor nut to 8 Nm (71 in. lbs.).
CAUTION: Over-tightening the sensor to as much as 10 Nm (88 in. lbs.) may result in sensor
separation from the valve stem. Under this condition, the sensor may still function, however, the
condition should be corrected immediately.
5. Mount tire on wheel following tire changer manufacturer's instructions, paying special attention to
the following to avoid damaging tire pressure
sensor: a.
Rotating Wheel Tire Changers - Once the wheel is mounted to the changer, position the sensor
valve stem (2) approximately 180° from the head of the changer (located at 1) in a clockwise
direction before rotating the wheel (also in a clockwise direction) to mount the tire. Use this
procedure on both the upper and lower tire beads. b.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - Steering and Suspension > Sensors and
Switches - Wheels and Tires > Tire Pressure Sensor > Component Information > Service and Repair > Removal > Page
1635
Rotating Tool Tire Changers - Position the wheel on the changer so that the sensor valve stem (1)
is located approximately 180° clockwise from the installation end of the mounting/dismounting tool
(2) once the tool is mounted for tire installation. Make sure the sensor is clear of the lower bead
breaker area (3) to avoid damaging the sensor when the breaker rises. Rotate the tool (2) in a
counterclockwise direction to mount the tire. Use this procedure on both the upper and lower tire
beads.
6. Adjust air pressure to that listed on Tire Inflation Pressure Label (Placard) provided with vehicle
(usually applied to driver's side B-pillar). Make
sure original style valve stem cap is securely installed to keep moisture out of sensor.
7. Install tire and wheel assembly on vehicle. 8. Lower vehicle. 9. If the vehicle has been stationary
for more then 20 minutes, drive the vehicle for a minimum of 10 minutes while maintaining a
continuous speed
above 15 mph (24 km/h). During this time, the system will learn the new sensor ID.
NOTE: If a sensor cannot be trained, refer to appropriate diagnostic information.
SPARE TIRE SENSOR REPLACEMENT
NOTE: When the spare tire sensor is replaced on vehicles equipped with a Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) and a full-sized matching spare tire and wheel assembly, a diagnostic
scan tool MUST be used to run a routine that will program the new pressure sensor ID into the
Wireless Control Module (WCM), commonly referred to as the Sentry Key Remote Entry Module
(SKREEM). Please copy the ID number off of the new pressure sensor before installing it into the
spare tire. Then follow the programming steps outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for: "Learn Spare
Tire Sensor ID" under Miscellaneous Functions for the (WCM) Wireless Control Module menu item
as appropriate. If a TPM-RKE Analyzer special tool is available, put the new spare tire pressure
sensor into "Park" mode. If a TPM-RKE Analyzer special tool is not available, rotate the spare tire
with one of the road tires.

Fluid Pressure Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The TCM utilizes a closed-loop system to control transmission line pressure. The system contains
a variable force style solenoid, the Pressure Control Solenoid, which is part of the pressure switch
assembly. The solenoid is duty cycle controlled by the TCM to vent the unnecessary line pressure
supplied by the oil pump back to the pump inlet. The system contains a Line Pressure Sensor,
which is a direct input to the TCM. The line pressure sensor monitors the transmission line
pressure and completes the feedback loop to the TCM. The TCM uses this information to adjust its
control of the pressure control solenoid to achieve the desired line pressure.

Fluid Pressure Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The TCM calculates the desired line pressure based upon inputs from the transmission and engine.
The TCM calculates the torque input to the transmission and uses that information as the primary
input to the calculation. The line pressure is set to a predetermined value during shifts, to ensure
consistent shift quality. During all other operation, the desired line pressure value is adjusted based
on torque level and other transmission requirements.

Overdrive Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
At key-on, overdrive operation is allowed. Pressing the switch once causes the tow/haul overdrive
OFF mode to be entered and the Tow/Haul lamp to be illuminated. Pressing the switch a second
time causes normal overdrive operation to be restored and the tow/haul lamp to be turned off. The
tow/haul overdrive OFF mode defaults to ON after the ignition switch is cycled OFF and ON. The
normal position for the control switch is the ON position. The switch must be in this position to
energize the solenoid and allow a 3-4 upshift. The control switch indicator light illuminates only
when the tow/haul overdrive switch is turned to the OFF position, or when illuminated by the
transmission control module.

Shift Solenoid Position Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The transmission solenoid/TRS assembly is internal to the transmission and mounted on the valve
body assembly. The assembly consists of six solenoids that control hydraulic pressure to the six
friction elements (transmission clutches), and the torque converter clutch. The pressure control
solenoid is located on the side of the solenoid/TRS assembly. The solenoid/TRS assembly also
contains the Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) and five pressure switches that feed information to
the TCM.

Shift Solenoid Position Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
SOLENOIDS
Solenoids are used to control the L/R, 2C, 4C, OD, and UD friction elements. The reverse clutch is
controlled by line pressure and the position of the manual valve in the valve body. All the solenoids
are contained within the Solenoid and Pressure Switch Assembly. The solenoid and pressure
switch assembly contains one additional solenoid, Multi-Select (MS), which serves primarily to
provide 2nd and 3rd gear limp-in operation.
The solenoids receive electrical power from the Transmission Control Relay through a single wire.
The TCM energizes or operates the solenoids individually by grounding the return wire of the
solenoid as necessary. When a solenoid is energized, the solenoid valve shifts, and a fluid
passage is opened or closed (vented or applied), depending on its default operating state. The
result is an apply or release of a frictional element.
The MS and UD solenoids are normally applied to allow transmission limp-in in the event of an
electrical failure.
The continuity of the solenoids and circuits are periodically tested. Each solenoid is turned on or off
depending on its current state. An inductive spike should be detected by the TCM during this test. If
no spike is detected, the circuit is tested again to verify the failure. In addition to the periodic
testing, the solenoid circuits are tested if a speed ratio or pressure switch error occurs.
PRESSURE SWITCHES
The TCM relies on five pressure switches to monitor fluid pressure in the L/R, 2C, 4C, UD, and OD
hydraulic circuits. The primary purpose of these switches is to help the TCM detect when clutch
circuit hydraulic failures occur. The switches close at approximately 23 psi and open at
approximately 11 psi, and simply indicate whether or not pressure exists. The switches are
continuously monitored by the TCM for the correct states (open or closed) in each gear as shown
in the following chart:
Pressure Switches
A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set if the TCM senses any switch open or closed at the
wrong time in a given gear.

Transmission Position Switch/Sensor: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) is part of the solenoid module, which is mounted to the top
of the valve body inside the transmission.
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) has five switch contact pins that:
- Determine shift lever position
- Supply ground to the Starter Relay in Park and Neutral only.
- Supply +12 V to the backup lamps in Reverse only.
The TRS also has an integrated temperature sensor (thermistor) that communicates transmission
temperature to the TCM and PCM.

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

DESCRIPTION
The Input and Output Speed Sensors are two-wire magnetic pickup devices that generate AC
signals as rotation occurs. They are mounted in the left side of the transmission case and are
considered primary inputs to the Transmission Control Module (TCM).
Operation
OPERATION
The Input Speed Sensor provides information on how fast the input shaft is rotating. As the teeth of
the input clutch hub pass by the sensor coil, an AC voltage is generated and sent to the TCM. The
TCM interprets this information as input shaft rpm.
The Output Speed Sensor generates an AC signal in a similar fashion, though its coil is excited by
rotation of the park gear teeth. The TCM interprets this information as output shaft rpm.
The TCM compares the input and output speed signals to determine the following:
- Transmission gear ratio
- Speed ratio error detection
- CVI calculation
The TCM also compares the input speed signal and the engine speed signal to determine the
following:
- Torque converter clutch slippage
- Torque converter element speed ratio

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

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

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

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

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

Level Switch > Component Information > Description and Operation > Description > Page 1774
Washer Fluid Level Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The washer fluid level switch uses a float to monitor the level of the washer fluid in the washer
reservoir. The float contains a small magnet. When the float moves, the proximity of this magnet to
a stationary reed switch within the beam formation of the switch changes. When the fluid level in
the washer reservoir is at or above the float level, the float rises and the influence of the float
magnetic field is removed from the reed switch causing the normally open reed switch contacts to
open. When the fluid level in the washer reservoir falls below the level of the float, the float falls and
the influence of the float magnetic field is applied to the reed switch, causing the contacts of the
normally open reed switch to close.
The washer fluid level switch is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated take
out and connector of the headlamp and dash wire harness. The switch is connected in series
between ground and the washer fluid switch sense input to the Front Control Module (FCM) located
in the engine compartment near the battery. The FCM monitors the switch return signal and is
programmed to respond to three consecutive open switch readings by sending an electronic
washer fluid indicator lamp-ON message to the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also
known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The EMIC responds to this message by illuminating the washer fluid indicator and by sounding an
audible chime tone warning.
The washer fluid level switch and the hard wired circuits between the switch and the FCM may be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information. However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of
the washer fluid level switch or the electronic controls or communication between other modules
and devices that provide some features of the wiper and washer systems. The most reliable,
efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the washer fluid level switch or the electronic controls
and communication related to washer fluid level switch operation requires the use of a diagnostic
scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

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

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

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

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

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

Idle Speed: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
A separate IAC motor is not used with the 5.7L V-8 engine.
The IAC stepper motor is mounted to the throttle body, and regulates the amount of air bypassing
the control of the throttle plate. As engine loads and ambient temperatures change, engine rpm
changes. A pintle on the IAC stepper motor protrudes into a passage in the throttle body,
controlling air flow through the passage. The IAC is controlled by the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) to maintain the target engine idle speed.
Dodge Durango 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L VIN 2 (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Tune-up and Engine Performance Checks > Idle Speed > System Information
> Description and Operation > Description > Page 1807
Idle Speed: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
A separate IAC motor is not used with the 5.7L V-8 engine.
At idle, engine speed can be increased by retracting the IAC motor pintle and allowing more air to
pass through the port, or it can be decreased by restricting the passage with the pintle and
diminishing the amount of air bypassing the throttle plate.
The IAC is called a stepper motor because it is moved (rotated) in steps, or increments. Opening
the IAC opens an air passage around the throttle blade which increases RPM.
The PCM uses the IAC motor to control idle speed (along with timing) and to reach a desired MAP
during decel (keep engine from stalling).
The IAC motor has 4 wires with 4 circuits. Two of the wires are for 12 volts and ground to supply
electrical current to the motor windings to operate the stepper motor in one direction. The other 2
wires are also for 12 volts and ground to supply electrical current to operate the stepper motor in
the opposite direction.
To make the IAC go in the opposite direction, the PCM just reverses polarity on both windings. If
only 1 wire is open, the IAC can only be moved 1 step (increment) in either direction. To keep the
IAC motor in position when no movement is needed, the PCM will energize both windings at the
same time. This locks the IAC motor in place.
In the IAC motor system, the PCM will count every step that the motor is moved. This allows the
PCM to determine the motor pintle position. If the memory is cleared, the PCM no longer knows the
position of the pintle. So at the first key ON, the PCM drives the IAC motor closed, regardless of
where it was before. This zeros the counter. From this point the PCM will back out the IAC motor
and keep track of its position again.
When engine rpm is above idle speed, the IAC is used for the following:
- Off-idle dashpot (throttle blade will close quickly but idle speed will not stop quickly)
- Deceleration air flow control
- A/C compressor load control (also opens the passage slightly before the compressor is engaged
so that the engine rpm does not dip down when the compressor engages)
- Power steering load control
The PCM can control polarity of the circuit to control direction of the stepper motor.
IAC Stepper Motor Program: The PCM is also equipped with a memory program that records the
number of steps the IAC stepper motor most recently advanced to during a certain set of
parameters. For example: The PCM was attempting to maintain a 1000 rpm target during a cold
start-up cycle. The last recorded number of steps for that may have been 125. That value would be
recorded in the memory cell so that the next time the PCM recognizes the identical conditions, the
PCM recalls that 125 steps were required to maintain the target. This program allows for greater
customer satisfaction due to greater control of engine idle.
Another function of the memory program, which occurs when the power steering switch (if
equipped), or the A/C request circuit, requires that the IAC stepper motor control engine rpm, is the
recording of the last targeted steps into the memory cell. The PCM can anticipate A/C compressor
loads. This is accomplished by delaying compressor operation for approximately 0.5 seconds until
the PCM moves the IAC stepper motor to the recorded steps that were loaded into the memory
cell. Using this program helps eliminate idle-quality changes as loads change. Finally, the PCM
incorporates a "No-Load" engine speed limiter of approximately 1800 - 2000 rpm, when it
recognizes that the TPS is indicating an idle signal and IAC motor cannot maintain engine idle.
A (factory adjusted) set screw is used to mechanically limit the position of the throttle body throttle
plate. Never attempt to adjust the engine idle speed using this screw. All idle speed functions are
controlled by the IAC motor through the PCM.

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: If equipped, do not remove the secondary retention clip from any spring-lock coupler
connection while the refrigerant system is under pressure. Recover the refrigerant before removing
the secondary retention clip. 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 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 - Front
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.
Line-A/C Discharge
DESCRIPTION
The A/C discharge line (1) is the refrigerant line that carries refrigerant from the A/C compressor to
the A/C condenser (2) and is secured to the condenser fan shroud (4) by a plastic retainer (3). The
A/C discharge line has an integral fitting for the A/C pressure transducer (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 discharge line has no serviceable parts except for the rubber O-ring seals. The O-ring
seals used on the connections are made from a special type of rubber not affected by R-134a
refrigerant. The O-ring seals must be replaced whenever the A/C discharge line is disconnected.
The A/C discharge line cannot be repaired and must be replaced if found to be leaking or
damaged.
Line-A/C Liquid
DESCRIPTION
Dodge Durango 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L VIN 2 (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Hoses > Hose/Line HVAC > Component Information > Description and
Operation > Plumbing - Front > Page 1903
The A/C liquid line is the refrigerant line that carries refrigerant from the A/C condenser to the A/C
evaporator. The A/C liquid line is serviced in two sections. The front section of the liquid line (1)
connects between the A/C condenser and the receiver/drier (2). The rear section of the liquid line
(3) connects between the A/C receiver/drier and the A/C expansion valve (7) and includes the high
side service port (5) and a tapping plate (8) that secures the suction line (9) to the A/C expansion
valve. On models equipped with the rear heating-A/C system, the rear section of the A/C liquid line
also includes an extension tube that connects the liquid line to the underbody lines.
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 liquid line has no serviceable parts except for the rubber O-ring seals, high-side service
port valve, cap and retainer clip (4). The O-ring seals used on the connections are made from a
special type of rubber not affected by R-134a refrigerant. The O-ring seals must be replaced
whenever the liquid line is disconnected.
The A/C liquid line cannot be repaired and must be replaced if found to be leaking or damaged.
Line-A/C Suction
DESCRIPTION
The A/C suction line (9) is the refrigerant line that carries refrigerant from the A/C evaporator to the
A/C compressor. The A/C suction line includes the low side service port (6) and is secured to the
A/C expansion valve (7) by the liquid line tapping plate (8). On models equipped with the rear
heating-A/C system, the A/C suction line also includes an extension tube that connects the suction
line to the underbody lines.
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 suction line has no serviceable parts except for the rubber O-ring seals, low-side service
port valve and cap. The O-ring seals used on the connections are made from a special type of
rubber not affected by R-134a refrigerant. The O-ring seals must be replaced whenever the A/C
suction line is disconnected.

Description
DESCRIPTION
Spring-lock type refrigerant line couplers (6) are used to connect the liquid line (1) and the suction
line (3) to the underbody refrigerant lines for the rear heating-A/C system. Secondary retaining clips
(2 and 7) are installed over the connected couplers for added protection.
The spring-lock refrigerant line couplers require special disconnect tools for disengaging the two
coupler halves.
Operation
OPERATION
The spring-lock type refrigerant line coupler is held together by a garter spring (6) inside a circular
cage (7) on the male half of the fitting (1). When the two coupler halves are connected, the flared
end of the female fitting (2) slips behind the garter spring inside the cage on the male fitting. The
garter spring and cage prevent the flared end of the female fitting from pulling out of the cage.
Some applications use a connection indicator ring (4) to help indicate when the two coupler halves
are fully connected.

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 Type
Mopar DOT 3 and SAE J1703 should be used. If DOT 3 brake fluid is not available, then DOT 4 is
acceptable. Use only recommended brake fluids.

Brake Fluid: Description and Operation
BRAKE FLUID
The brake fluid used in this vehicle must conform to DOT 3 specifications and SAE J1703
standards. No other type of brake fluid is recommended or approved for usage in the vehicle brake
system. Use only Mopar brake fluid or an equivalent from a tightly sealed container.
CAUTION: Never use reclaimed brake fluid or fluid from a container which has been left open. An
open container of brake fluid will absorb moisture from the air and contaminate the fluid.
CAUTION: Never use any type of a petroleum-based fluid in the brake hydraulic system. Use of
such type fluids will result in seal damage of the vehicle brake hydraulic system causing a failure of
the vehicle brake system. Petroleum based fluids would be items such as engine oil, transmission
fluid, power steering fluid, etc.

Brake Fluid: Testing and Inspection
BRAKE FLUID CONTAMINATION
Indications of fluid contamination are swollen or deteriorated rubber parts.
Swollen rubber parts indicate the presence of petroleum in the brake fluid.
To test for contamination, put a small amount of drained brake fluid in clear glass jar. If fluid
separates into layers, there is mineral oil or other fluid contamination of the brake fluid.
If brake fluid is contaminated, drain and thoroughly flush system. Replace master cylinder,
proportioning valve, caliper seals, wheel cylinder seals, Antilock Brakes hydraulic unit and all
hydraulic fluid hoses.

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

Coolant: Description and Operation Coolant
DESCRIPTION
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/160.000 km (100,000 Mile) Formula
(ethylene-glycol base coolant with corrosion inhibitors called HOAT, for 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/160.935 KM, (5 Year/100,000 Mile) Formula
(MS-9769), or the equivalent ethylene-glycol base coolant with organic corrosion inhibitors (called
HOAT, for Hybrid Organic Additive Technology) is recommended. This coolant offers the best
engine cooling without corrosion when mixed with 50% ethylene-glycol and 50% distilled water to
obtain a freeze point of -37° C (-35° F). If it loses color or becomes contaminated, drain, flush, and
replace with fresh properly mixed coolant solution.
CAUTION: Mopar(R) Antifreeze/Coolant, 5 Year/100,000 Mile Formula (MS-9769) may not be
mixed with any other type of antifreeze. Mixing of coolants other than specified (non-HOAT or other
HOAT), may result in engine damage that may not be covered under the new vehicle warranty, and
decreased corrosion protection.
COOLANT PERFORMANCE
The required ethylene-glycol and water mixture depends upon climate and vehicle operating
conditions. The coolant performance of various mixtures follows:
Pure Water - Water can absorb more heat than a mixture of water and ethylene-glycol. This is for
purpose of heat transfer only. Water also freezes at a higher temperature and allows corrosion.
100 percent Ethylene-Glycol - The corrosion inhibiting additives in ethylene-glycol need the
presence of water to dissolve. Without water, additives form deposits in system. These act as
insulation causing temperature to rise to as high as 149° C (300° F). This temperature is hot
enough to melt plastic 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 160,935 km (5 Year/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, cylinder head, 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. On the 6.7L diesel engine, coolant also flows through the EGR cooler and
turbocharger actuator. 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 Tool 8266, 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.

COOLANT LEVEL CHECK
NOTE: Do not remove radiator cap for routine coolant level inspections. The coolant level can be
checked at coolant recovery bottle (2).
The coolant reserve/overflow system (5) provides a quick method for determining coolant level
without removing radiator pressure cap. With engine not running, open the coolant recovery bottle
cap and remove coolant level indicator dipstick to observe coolant level in coolant recovery bottle.
The coolant level should be between ADD and FULL marks. If the coolant level is at or below the
ADD mark, fill the recovery bottle with a 50/50 mixture of antifreeze and water ONE QUART AT A
TIME. Repeat this procedure until the coolant level is at the FULL mark.

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.

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

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

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

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Fluids > Fluid - A/T > Component Information > Service and Repair > Fluid
Level Check - 545RFE
Fluid - A/T: Service and Repair Fluid Level Check - 545RFE
FLUID LEVEL CHECK
Low fluid level can cause a variety of conditions because it allows the pump to take in air along with
the fluid. As in any hydraulic system, air bubbles make the fluid spongy, therefore, pressures will be
low and build up slowly.
Improper filling can also raise the fluid level too high. When the transmssion has too much fluid, the
geartrain churns up foam and cause the same conditions which occur with a low fluid level.
In either case, air bubbles can cause overheating and fluid oxidation, and varnishing. This can
interfere with normal valve, clutch, and accumulator operation. Foaming can also result in fluid
escaping from the transmission vent where it may be mistaken for a leak.
After the fluid has been checked, seat the dipstick fully to seal out water and dirt.
The transmission has a dipstick to check oil level. It is located on the right side of the engine. Be
sure to wipe all dirt from dipstick handle before removing.
The torque converter fills in both the P (PARK) and N (NEUTRAL) positions. Place the selector
lever in P (PARK) to be sure that the fluid level check is accurate. The engine should be running at
idle speed for at least one minute, with the vehicle on level ground. At normal operating
temperature (approximately 82° C. or 180° F), the fluid level is correct if it is in the HOT region
(cross-hatched area) on the oil level indicator. The fluid level will be approximately at the upper
COLD hole of the dipstick at 21° C (70° F) fluid temperature.
FILL TUBE EQUIPPED WITH INDICATOR
Transmission Fluid Temperature Chart
NOTE: Engine and Transmission should be at normal operating temperature before performing this
procedure.
1. Start engine and apply parking brake. 2. Shift the transmission into DRIVE for approximately 2
seconds. 3. Shift the transmission into REVERSE for approximately 2 seconds. 4. Shift the
transmission into PARK. 5. Hook up scan tool and select transmission. 6. Select sensors. 7. Read
the transmission temperature value. 8. Compare the fluid temperature value with the chart. 9.
Adjust transmission fluid level shown on the dipstick according to the Transmission Fluid
Temperature Chart.
NOTE: After adding any fluid to the transmission, wait a minimum of 2 minutes for the oil to fully
drain from the fill tube into the
Dodge Durango 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L VIN 2 (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Fluids > Fluid - A/T > Component Information > Service and Repair > Fluid

transmission before rechecking the fluid level.
10. Check transmission for leaks.
CAPPED FILL TUBE
1. Verify that the vehicle is parked on a level surface. 2. Remove the dipstick tube cap.
WARNING: There is a risk of accident from vehicle starting off by itself when engine is running.
There is a risk of injury from contusions and burns if you insert your hands into the engine when it
is started or when it is running. Secure vehicle to prevent it from moving off by itself. Wear properly
fastened and close-fitting work clothes. Do not touch hot or rotating parts.
3. Actuate the service brake. Start engine and let it run at idle speed in selector lever position "P".
4. Shift through the transmission modes several times with the vehicle stationary and the engine
idling. 5. Warm up the transmission, wait at least 2 minutes and check the oil level with the engine
running. Push the Oil Dipstick 9336 into transmission fill
tube until the dipstick tip contacts the oil pan and pull out again, read off oil level, repeat if
necessary.
NOTE: The dipstick will protrude from the fill tube when installed.
6. Check transmission oil temperature using the appropriate scan tool.
NOTE: The true transmission oil temperature can only be read by a scan tool in REVERSE or any
forward gear position.
7. The transmission Oil Dipstick 9336 has indicator marks every 10 mm. Determine the height of
the oil level on the dipstick and using the height,
the transmission temperature, and the Transmission Fluid Graph, determine if the transmission oil
level is correct.
8. Add or remove oil as necessary and recheck the oil level. 9. Once the oil level is correct, install
the dipstick tube cap.

FLUID AND FILTER REPLACEMENT
REMOVAL
1. Hoist and support vehicle on safety stands. 2. Place a large diameter shallow drain pan beneath
the transmission pan. 3. Remove bolts holding front and sides of pan to transmission. 4. Loosen
bolts holding rear of pan to transmission. 5. Slowly separate front of pan away from transmission
allowing the fluid to drain into drain pan. 6. Hold up pan and remove remaining bolts holding pan to
transmission. 7. While holding pan level, lower pan away from transmission. 8. Pour remaining fluid
in pan into drain pan.
9. Remove the screw holding the primary oil filter (1) to valve body.
10. Separate filter from valve body and oil pump and pour fluid in filter into drain pan. 11. Inspect
the oil filter seal in the bottom of the oil pump. If the seal is not installed completely in the oil pump,
or is otherwise damaged, then remove
and discard the oil filter seal from the bottom of the oil pump. If the seal is installed correctly and is
in good condition, it can be reused.
12. If replacing the cooler return filter (2), use Oil Filter Wrench 8321 to remove the filter from the
transmission. 13. Dispose of used trans fluid and filter(s) properly.
INSPECTION
Inspect bottom of pan and magnet for excessive amounts of metal. A light coating of clutch material
on the bottom of the pan does not indicate a problem unless accompanied by a slipping condition
or shift lag. If fluid and pan are contaminated with excessive amounts of debris, refer to the
diagnosis.
CLEANING
1. Using a suitable solvent, clean pan and magnet. 2. Using a suitable gasket scraper, clean
original sealing material from surface of transmission case and the transmission pan.

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:
The axle fill holes on some Dodge Truck vehicle axles may be located considerably higher than the
actual fluid level. Filling the axle until the fluid comes out of the fill hole will over fill the axle, which
may cause fluid foaming. When checking fluid level or filling a rear axle with fluid, you must
measure the distance from the bottom of the fill hole to the top of the actual fluid level. This can
easily be accomplished using a pipe cleaner or piece of wire. Make a 90 degree bend in the wire 2
inches from the end. The wire can then be inserted into the axle fill hole to use as a dipstick.
Measure the distance from the bend to the oil level. The fluid levels for the axles are shown in the
table below.

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

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) ATF +4.
Mopar(R) ATF+4, when new is red in color. The 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, the 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.
CAUTION: MOPAR(R) ATF+4 is to be used in the power steering system. 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 any other fluid is used, and do not overfill.
The power steering fluid level can be viewed on the dipstick attached to the filler cap. There are
two ranges listed on the dipstick, COLD and HOT. Before opening power steering system, wipe the
reservoir filler cap free of dirt and debris. Remove the cap and check the fluid level on its dipstick.
When the fluid is at normal ambient temperature, approximately 21° C to 27° C (70° F to 80° F), the
fluid level should read between the minimum and maximum area of the cold range. When the fluid
is hot, fluid level is allowed to read up to the highest end of the HOT range. Only add fluid when the
vehicle is cold.
Use only Mopar(R) ATF+4 Do not overfill the power steering system.

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

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.

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

REFRIGERANT SYSTEM CHARGE
WARNING: Review safety precautions and warnings before performing this procedure. Failure to
follow the warnings and cautions may result in serious or fatal injury.
NOTE: The Underhood HVAC Specification Label contains the refrigerant fill specification of the
vehicle being serviced.
After all refrigerant system leaks have been repaired and the refrigerant system has been
evacuated, a refrigerant charge can be injected into the system.
A R-134a refrigerant recovery/recycling/charging station that meets SAE Standard J2210 must be
used to charge the refrigerant system with R-134a refrigerant. Refer to the operating instructions
supplied by the equipment manufacturer for proper care and use of this equipment.
CHARGING PROCEDURE
CAUTION: A small amount of refrigerant oil is removed from the A/C system each time the
refrigerant system is recovered and evacuated. Before charging the A/C system, you MUST
replenish any oil lost during the recovery process. Refer the equipment manufacturer instructions
for more information.
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 engaged and the blower motor is operating at its lowest
speed setting. Run the engine at a steady high idle (about 1400 rpm). If the A/C compressor does
not engage, test the compressor clutch control circuit and repair as required.
7. Open the low-side valve to allow the remaining refrigerant to transfer to the refrigerant system.
WARNING: Take care not to open the discharge (high pressure) valve at this time. Failure to follow
this warning could result in possible personal injury or death.
8. Disconnect the charging station and manifold gauge set from the refrigerant system service
ports.
9. Reinstall the caps onto the refrigerant system service ports.

REFRIGERANT SYSTEM SERVICE EQUIPMENT
WARNING: Eye protection must be worn when servicing an A/C refrigerant system. Turn all valves
off (rotate clockwise) on the equipment being used before connecting or disconnecting service
equipment from the refrigerant system. Failure to observe these warnings may result in personal
injury or death.
WARNING: Refer to the applicable warnings and cautions for this system before performing the
following operation. Failure to follow the warnings and cautions could result in possible personal
injury or death.
When servicing the A/C system, a R-134a refrigerant recovery/recycling/charging station that
meets SAE standard J2210 must be used (1). Contact an automotive service equipment supplier
for refrigerant recovery/recycling/charging equipment. Refer to the operating instructions supplied
by the equipment manufacturer for proper care and use of this equipment.
A manifold gauge set (1) may be needed with some recovery/recycling/charging equipment. The
manifold gauge set should have manual shut-off valves (2 and 6), or automatic back-flow valves
located at the service port connector end of the manifold gauge set hoses (4 and 5). This will
prevent refrigerant from being released into the atmosphere.
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.
RECOVERY/RECYCLING/EVACUATION/CHARGING HOSE The center manifold hose (Yellow, or
White, with Black stripe) (3) 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.
HIGH PRESSURE GAUGE HOSE The high pressure hose (Red with Black stripe) (4) attaches to
the high side service port. This service port is located on the liquid line near the receiver/drier
outlet. On this model, an A/C pressure transducer is installed on the discharge line. A/C high-side
pressures can be read using a scan tool.
LOW PRESSURE GAUGE HOSE The low pressure hose (Blue with Black stripe) (5) attaches to
the low side service port. This service port is located on the suction line near the A/C compressor
inlet.

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 contains a different additive package. The Denso
10S20 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 receiver/drier, A/C
evaporator, A/C condenser and the A/C compressor will each retain a significant amount of the
needed refrigerant oil.
It is important to have the correct amount of refrigerant oil in the A/C system. This ensures proper
lubrication of the A/C compressor. Too little oil will result in damage to the A/C compressor, while
too much oil will reduce the cooling capacity of the A/C system and consequently result in higher
discharge air temperatures.
CAUTION: The oil used in the Denso 10S20 A/C compressor is ND-8 PAG R-134a refrigerant oil.
Only refrigerant oil of the same type should be used to service the A/C system. Do not use any
other refrigerant oil. The oil container should be kept tightly capped until it is ready for use and then
tightly capped after use to prevent contamination from dirt and moisture. 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 lubricant being removed during
recovery. This amount of lubricant should be added back into the system. Refer to the
reclaim/recycling equipment manufacturers instructions.
It will not be necessary to check the oil level in the A/C compressor or to add oil, unless there has
been an oil loss. An oil loss may occur due to a rupture or leak from a refrigerant line, a connector
fitting, a component, or a component seal. If a leak occurs, add 30 milliliters (1 fluid ounce) of
refrigerant oil to the refrigerant system after the repair has been made. Refrigerant oil loss will be
evident at the leak point by the presence of a wet, shiny surface around the leak.
Refrigerant oil must be added when an A/C condenser, A/C receiver/drier or A/C evaporator is
replaced (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.
COMPRESSOR OIL DRAIN PROCEDURE
CAUTION: Be certain to adjust the refrigerant system oil level when replacing an A/C compressor.
Failure to properly drain and measure the refrigerant oil from the A/C compressor can prevent the
A/C system from operating as designed and cause serious compressor damage.
The A/C compressor is filled with refrigerant oil from the factory. Use the following procedure to
drain and measure refrigerant oil from the A/C compressor.
1. Drain all of the refrigerant oil from the old A/C compressor into a clean measured container.
2. Drain all of the refrigerant oil from the new A/C compressor into a clean measured container.
3. Refill the new A/C compressor with the same amount of refrigerant oil that was drained out of the
old compressor. Use only clean refrigerant oil of
Dodge Durango 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L VIN 2 (2007))

> Page 2075
the type recommended for the A/C compressor in the vehicle.
4. Install the new A/C compressor onto the engine.

DATE: July 02, 2006
SUBJECT: Tire Pressure Monitor DIG's Due To The IOD Fuse Not Being Installed
OVERVIEW: This bulletin involves erroneous Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC's) that are caused
when the vehicle is driven without the IOD fuse installed.
MODELS:
2007 HB/HG Durango/Aspen
2007 WK/WH Grand Cherokee
2007 XK/XH Commander
DISCUSSION: The driver may notice that the Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) system is not working
properly.
Whether a premium or base system, the tire pressure monitor warning light in the instrument
cluster may be flashing indicating a TPM SYSTEM problem.
On premium TPM systems, the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) may display a
"SERVICE TIRE PRESS SYSTEM" message. And when stepping through the EVIC to the tire
pressure display, all of the tire pressure readings may display as dashes "- -" rather than actual tire
pressure values.
Investigation by the technician may find the presence of all four TPM related DTC's:
C1501 - Tire Pressure Sensor 1 (L.F.) Internal
C1502 - Tire Pressure Sensor 2 (R.F.) Internal
C1503 - Tire Pressure Sensor 3 (R.R.) Internal
C1504 - Tire Pressure Sensor 4 (L.R.) Internal
The above condition is most likely caused by driving the vehicle without the IOD fuse installed. If
the vehicle is driven at speeds greater than 32 kph (20 mph) for more than approximately ten (10)
minutes without the IOD fuse installed, then the TPM system will log the above four DTC's. This
sceneno is most likely to occur when the vehicle is driven while in dealer inventory.
Without the IOD fuse installed part of the Wireless Control Module (WCM), the receiver circuit, is
not operational (not powered). Though the 1PM tire sensors are powered and transmitting correct
tire pressure signals, the WCM receiver is not receiving those signals.
The portion of the WCM circuitry that is powered, by the ignition on/run feed, sends a CAN
message to the Cabin Control Node (CCN) in the instrument cluster indicating that the TPM tire
pressure signals are not available. On base and premium TPM systems the CCN will flash the tire
pressure monitor warning light, and the powered portion of the WCM will log all four of the above
TPM DTC's as faults with the TPM system. On premium 1PM systems the CCN will also cause the
EVIC to display the "SERVICE TIRE PRESS SYSTEM" message.
For the TPM system to operate correctly the IOD fuse must be installed. A scan tool (StarSCAN(R)
/ StarMOBILE(TM) will be required to erase the four TPM DTC's.

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.

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.

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 Durango 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L VIN 2 (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Fuses and Circuit Breakers > Fuse > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2128
- 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.

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 Group 30, so it is shown there
complete. It can, however, be shown partially in another group if it contains some associated
wiring.
Splice diagrams show the entire splice and provide references to other sections the splices serves.
Spice Information contains splice diagrams that are not shown in their entirety somewhere else in
the wiring diagrams.
Connector Pin-Outs each connector and the circuits involved with that connector. The connectors
are identified using the name/number on the diagram pages.

All ESD sensitive components are solid state and a symbol is used to indicate this. When handling
any component with this symbol, comply with the following procedures to reduce the possibility of
electrostatic charge build up on the body and inadvertent discharge into the component. If it is not
known whether the part is ESD sensitive, assume that it is.
1. Always touch a known good ground before handling the part. This should be repeated while
handling the part and more frequently after sliding
across a seat, sitting down from a standing position, or walking a distance.
2. Avoid touching electrical terminals of the part, unless instructed to do so by a written procedure.
3. When using a voltmeter, be sure to connect the ground lead first.
4. Do not remove the part from it's protective packing until it is time to install the part.
5. Before removing the part from it's package, ground the package to a known good ground on the
vehicle.

TROUBLESHOOTING 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.

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

Description
DESCRIPTION
All of the electrical current distributed throughout this vehicle is directed through the Power
Distribution Center (PDC) (1). The molded plastic PDC housing is located in the left front corner of
the engine compartment, just behind the battery. The PDC houses the generator cartridge fuse and
maxi-type cartridge fuses, which replace all in-line fusible links. The PDC also houses blade-type
fuses, relays, and a fuse puller.
Operation
OPERATION
All of the current from the battery and the generator output enters the PDC through two cables with
eyelets that are secured with nuts to the two B(+) terminal studs located just inside the inboard end
of the PDC housing. The PDC cover is unlatched and removed to access the battery and generator
output connection B(+) terminal studs, the fuses, the relays, the joint connectors and the engine
wire harness in-line connector.

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

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

Tire Pressure Sensor: Service Precautions
CAUTION
CAUTION: The use of tire sealants is not recommended for vehicles equipped with the Tire
Pressure Monitoring system. Tire sealants may clog tire pressure sensors.
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: It is not recommended to install a tire pressure sensor in an aftermarket wheel. Use tire
pressure sensors in original style factory wheels only.
CAUTION: Any time a sensor is to be reinstalled in a wheel, a new seal, cap and valve core must
be installed on the stem to ensure air tight sealing.
NOTE: TPM thresholds have been established for the original tire size equipped on the vehicle.
Use original size tires only to maintain system accuracy.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
NOTE: On vehicles equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), when the spare tire
pressure sensor is replaced with a new pressure sensor, a diagnostic scan tool MUST be used to
run a routine that will program the new pressure sensor ID into the Wireless Control Module
(WCM), commonly referred to as the Sentry Key Remote Entry Module (SKREEM). Please copy
the ID number off of the new pressure sensor before installing it into the spare tire. Then follow the
programming steps outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for: "Learn Spare Tire Sensor ID" under
Miscellaneous Functions for the "WCM/Wireless Control Module" menu item as appropriate.Then
install the spare tire with one of the active road tires.
NOTE: If replacing the WCM, the spare tire must be dismounted from its wheel to access and note
the spare tire pressure sensor ID. Then follow the programming steps outlined in the diagnostic
scan tool for "Learn Spare Tire Sensor ID" under Miscellaneous Functions for the WCM wireless
control module menu item as appropriate. In addition, the placard pressure thresholds must be
updated in the new WCM. Go to "Update Pressure Thresholds" under Miscellaneous Functions for
the WCM wireless control module and follow the procedure.
On vehicles equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring System, one tire pressure sensor (6) is
mounted to each wheel in place of the traditional tire valve stem. Each sensor has an internal
battery that lasts up to 10 years. The battery is not serviceable. At the time of battery failure, the
sensor must be replaced.
The TPM system operates on a 315 MHz radio frequency. The 315 MHz sensors can be easily
identified by a black sensor body, with (an oval insignia) (1) and a grey valve cap (2).
The Export TPM system operates on a 433 MHz radio frequency. The 433 MHz sensors can be
easily identified by a gray sensor body (with an oval insignia) and a black valve cap (2).
CAUTION: Although 315 MHz and 433 MHz sensors are identical in size and shape, they are not
interchangeable. Always make sure the correct sensor is being used.
NOTE: 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. The tire must be dismounted allowing visual inspection of the
sensor body.
NOTE: If aftermarket wheels are installed and do not contain tire pressure sensors, the system will
not function properly and the driver will be continuously notified of a system malfunction.
The TPM sensors are designed for original style factory wheels. It is not recommended to install a
tire pressure sensor in an aftermarket wheel. (This could cause sealing and system performance
issues).

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

The battery operated tire pressure sensor is both a transmitter and a receiver. The TPM sensor can
be forced to transmit if using a special tool such as a TPM-RKE Analyzer, or from a transponder.
The TPM-RKE Analyzer has the ability to change the sensor's operating mode and to diagnose a
faulty TPM sensor. Using a TPM-RKE Analyzer can take up to a minute to force a transmission
from a sensor. The TPM sensor can be in one of the following modes:
- Sleep Mode - 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). If the vehicle is not moving, the sensor will only transmit on a pressure change
greater then 1 PSI. Driving the vehicle continuously at this speed for more then 4 minutes, and then
stopping the vehicle will change the sensor state into Park Mode. If the vehicle is equipped with a
full size matching spare tire and the spare tire sensor has been replaced, The sensor must be
changed to Park Mode to conserve battery life. Either use a TPM-RKE Analyzer, or swap the spare
tire with a road tire.
- Park Mode - This is the correct operating mode when the vehicle is not moving. The sensor will
transmit once every 13 hours to update the WCM, or will transmit on a 1 PSI delta change. The
sensors will internally take a measurement of the tire pressure every minute to determine a change
in tire pressure
- 0ff / 30 Block - 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 revert back to Park Mode. 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 m.p.h. (24 Km/h)" after a sensor has been replaced, The vehicle must be stationary for more
than 20 minutes in order to initiate the learning sequence.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Testing and Inspection
TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR
NOTE: Tire pressure may increase from 14 to 41 kPa (2 to 6 psi) during normal driving conditions.
Do NOT reduce this normal pressure build up.
Check the tire pressure yellow telltale in the instrument cluster. If the yellow telltale is illuminating
continuously, proceed as listed below. If the yellow telltale is flashing on/off for 60 seconds, once
every ten minutes, there is a system fault detected. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
When diagnosing a tire pressure issue, always check air pressure in the tires first with a known
accurate air gauge. Adjust air pressure as necessary to that listed on the Tire Inflation Pressure
Label (Placard) provided with the vehicle (usually applied to the driver's side B-pillar). After
adjusting air pressure in a tire, allow approximately two minutes for the message or yellow telltale
to go out.
If air pressure in any tire is low, inspect all the tires for leaks. A water "dunk tank" or other water
test may be used to check for a leak around the tire assembly and sensor as long as any water at
the valve core is removed once the procedure is completed. The water can be easily expelled from
the core area by pushing in on the core for several seconds, allowing escaping air to drive out any
moisture. Reinflate the tire as necessary. Always make sure the original valve stem cap is securely
installed to keep moisture out of the sensor.
If the gauge-read pressure in the tires does not indicate a tire pressure issue, refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.

for more then 20 minutes, drive the vehicle for a minimum of 10 minutes while maintaining a
continuous speed
above 15 mph (24 km/h). During this time, the system will learn the new sensor ID.
NOTE: If a sensor cannot be trained, refer to appropriate diagnostic information.
SPARE TIRE SENSOR REPLACEMENT
NOTE: When the spare tire sensor is replaced on vehicles equipped with a Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) and a full-sized matching spare tire and wheel assembly, a diagnostic
scan tool MUST be used to run a routine that will program the new pressure sensor ID into the
Wireless Control Module (WCM), commonly referred to as the Sentry Key Remote Entry Module
(SKREEM). Please copy the ID number off of the new pressure sensor before installing it into the
spare tire. Then follow the programming steps outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for: "Learn Spare
Tire Sensor ID" under Miscellaneous Functions for the (WCM) Wireless Control Module menu item
as appropriate. If a TPM-RKE Analyzer special tool is available, put the new spare tire pressure
sensor into "Park" mode. If a TPM-RKE Analyzer special tool is not available, rotate the spare tire

CAUTION
CAUTION: The use of tire sealants is not recommended for vehicles equipped with the Tire
Pressure Monitoring system. Tire sealants may clog tire pressure sensors.
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: It is not recommended to install a tire pressure sensor in an aftermarket wheel. Use tire
pressure sensors in original style factory wheels only.
CAUTION: Any time a sensor is to be reinstalled in a wheel, a new seal, cap and valve core must
be installed on the stem to ensure air tight sealing.
NOTE: TPM thresholds have been established for the original tire size equipped on the vehicle.
Use original size tires only to maintain system accuracy.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
NOTE: On vehicles equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), when the spare tire
pressure sensor is replaced with a new pressure sensor, a diagnostic scan tool MUST be used to
run a routine that will program the new pressure sensor ID into the Wireless Control Module
(WCM), commonly referred to as the Sentry Key Remote Entry Module (SKREEM). Please copy
the ID number off of the new pressure sensor before installing it into the spare tire. Then follow the
programming steps outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for: "Learn Spare Tire Sensor ID" under
Miscellaneous Functions for the "WCM/Wireless Control Module" menu item as appropriate.Then
install the spare tire with one of the active road tires.
NOTE: If replacing the WCM, the spare tire must be dismounted from its wheel to access and note
the spare tire pressure sensor ID. Then follow the programming steps outlined in the diagnostic
scan tool for "Learn Spare Tire Sensor ID" under Miscellaneous Functions for the WCM wireless
control module menu item as appropriate. In addition, the placard pressure thresholds must be
updated in the new WCM. Go to "Update Pressure Thresholds" under Miscellaneous Functions for
the WCM wireless control module and follow the procedure.
On vehicles equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring System, one tire pressure sensor (6) is
mounted to each wheel in place of the traditional tire valve stem. Each sensor has an internal
battery that lasts up to 10 years. The battery is not serviceable. At the time of battery failure, the
sensor must be replaced.
The TPM system operates on a 315 MHz radio frequency. The 315 MHz sensors can be easily
identified by a black sensor body, with (an oval insignia) (1) and a grey valve cap (2).
The Export TPM system operates on a 433 MHz radio frequency. The 433 MHz sensors can be
easily identified by a gray sensor body (with an oval insignia) and a black valve cap (2).
CAUTION: Although 315 MHz and 433 MHz sensors are identical in size and shape, they are not
interchangeable. Always make sure the correct sensor is being used.
NOTE: 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. The tire must be dismounted allowing visual inspection of the
sensor body.
NOTE: If aftermarket wheels are installed and do not contain tire pressure sensors, the system will
not function properly and the driver will be continuously notified of a system malfunction.
The TPM sensors are designed for original style factory wheels. It is not recommended to install a
tire pressure sensor in an aftermarket wheel. (This could cause sealing and system performance
issues).

The serviceable components of the tire pressure sensor are:
NOTE: Any time a sensor is installed on a wheel, a new Sensor-To-Wheel Seal (4) must be
installed to ensure proper sealing.
- Sensor-To-Wheel Seal (4)
- Valve Stem Cap (2)
- Valve Stem Core
- Valve Stem Nut (3)
The valve stem caps and cores used are specifically designed for the tire pressure monitoring

The battery operated tire pressure sensor is both a transmitter and a receiver. The TPM sensor can
be forced to transmit if using a special tool such as a TPM-RKE Analyzer, or from a transponder.
The TPM-RKE Analyzer has the ability to change the sensor's operating mode and to diagnose a
faulty TPM sensor. Using a TPM-RKE Analyzer can take up to a minute to force a transmission
from a sensor. The TPM sensor can be in one of the following modes:
- Sleep Mode - 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). If the vehicle is not moving, the sensor will only transmit on a pressure change
greater then 1 PSI. Driving the vehicle continuously at this speed for more then 4 minutes, and then
stopping the vehicle will change the sensor state into Park Mode. If the vehicle is equipped with a
full size matching spare tire and the spare tire sensor has been replaced, The sensor must be
changed to Park Mode to conserve battery life. Either use a TPM-RKE Analyzer, or swap the spare
tire with a road tire.
- Park Mode - This is the correct operating mode when the vehicle is not moving. The sensor will
transmit once every 13 hours to update the WCM, or will transmit on a 1 PSI delta change. The
sensors will internally take a measurement of the tire pressure every minute to determine a change
in tire pressure
- 0ff / 30 Block - 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 revert back to Park Mode. 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 m.p.h. (24 Km/h)" after a sensor has been replaced, The vehicle must be stationary for more
than 20 minutes in order to initiate the learning sequence.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Testing and Inspection
TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR
NOTE: Tire pressure may increase from 14 to 41 kPa (2 to 6 psi) during normal driving conditions.
Do NOT reduce this normal pressure build up.
Check the tire pressure yellow telltale in the instrument cluster. If the yellow telltale is illuminating
continuously, proceed as listed below. If the yellow telltale is flashing on/off for 60 seconds, once
every ten minutes, there is a system fault detected. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
When diagnosing a tire pressure issue, always check air pressure in the tires first with a known
accurate air gauge. Adjust air pressure as necessary to that listed on the Tire Inflation Pressure
Label (Placard) provided with the vehicle (usually applied to the driver's side B-pillar). After

Tires: Description and Operation Tires
Tires
TIRES
Tires are designed and engineered for each specific vehicle. They provide the best overall
performance for normal operation. The ride and handling characteristics match the vehicle's
requirements. With proper care they will give excellent reliability, traction, skid resistance, and tread
life.
Driving habits have more effect on tire life than any other factor. Careful drivers will obtain in most
cases, much greater mileage than severe use or careless drivers. A few of the driving habits which
will shorten the life of any tire are:
- Rapid acceleration
- Severe brake applications
- High speed driving
- Excessive speeds on turns
- Striking curbs and other obstacles
Radial-ply tires are more prone to irregular tread wear. It is important to follow the tire rotation
interval. This will help to achieve a greater tread life.
TIRE IDENTIFICATION
Tire type, size, aspect ratio and speed rating are encoded in the letters and numbers imprinted on
the side wall of the tire. Refer to the chart to decipher the tire identification code.
Performance tires have a speed rating letter after the aspect ratio number. The speed rating is not
always printed on the tire sidewall. These ratings are:
- Q up to 100 mph
- S up to 112 mph
- T up to 118 mph
- U up to 124 mph
- H up to 130 mph
- V up to 149 mph
- W (consult the tire manufacturer for the specific speed rating)
- Z more than 149 mph (consult the tire manufacturer for the specific speed rating)
An All Season type tire will have either M + S, M & S or M-S (indicating mud and snow traction)
imprinted on the side wall.
TIRE CHAINS
Tire snow chains may be used on certain models. Refer to the Owner's Manual for more
information.
Radial-Ply Tires
RADIAL-PLY TIRES
Radial-ply tires improve handling, tread life and ride quality, and decrease rolling resistance.
Dodge Durango 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L VIN 2 (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Tires > Component Information > Description and
Operation > Tires > Page 2313
Radial-ply tires must always be used in sets of four. Under no circumstances should they be used
on the front only. They may be mixed with temporary spare tires when necessary. A maximum
speed of 80 KPH (50 MPH) is recommended while a temporary spare is in use.
Radial-ply tires have the same load-carrying capacity as other types of tires of the same size. They
also use the same recommended inflation pressures.
The use of oversized tires, either in the front or rear of the vehicle, can cause vehicle drive train
failure. This could also cause inaccurate wheel speed signals when the vehicle is equipped with
Anti-Lock Brakes.
The use of tires from different manufactures on the same vehicle is NOT recommended. The
proper tire pressure should be maintained on all four tires.
Tire Inflation Pressures
TIRE INFLATION PRESSURES
WARNING: Over or under inflated tires can affect vehicle handling and tread wear. This may cause
the tire to fail suddenly, resulting in loss of vehicle control.
Under inflation will cause rapid shoulder wear (1), tire flexing, and possible tire failure.
Over inflation will cause rapid center wear (1) reduction in the tire's ability to cushion shocks.
Improper inflation can cause:
- Uneven wear patterns
Dodge Durango 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L VIN 2 (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Tires > Component Information > Description and
Operation > Tires > Page 2314
- Reduced tread life
- Reduced fuel economy
- Unsatisfactory ride
- Vehicle drift

Spare / Temporary Tire
SPARE / TEMPORARY TIRE
The temporary spare tire is designed for emergency use only. The original tire should be repaired
or replaced at the first opportunity, then reinstalled. Do not exceed speeds of 80 KPH (50 MPH).
when using the temporary spare tire. Refer to Owner's Manual for complete details.
Full Size, Spare Wheel With Matching Tire
FULL SIZE, SPARE WHEEL WITH MATCHING TIRE
The spare is a full usage wheel with a matching tire. It can be used within the (posted legal) speed
limits or distance limitations as of the rest of the vehicles four tires. Refer to Owner's Manual for
complete details.
Replacement Tires
REPLACEMENT TIRES
The original equipment tires provide a proper balance of many characteristics such as:
- Ride
- Noise
- Handling
- Durability
- Tread life
- Traction
- Rolling resistance
- Speed capability
It is recommended that tires equivalent to the original equipment tires be used when replacement is
needed.
Failure to use equivalent replacement tires may adversely affect the safety and handling of the
vehicle.
The use of oversize tires may cause interference with vehicle components. Under extremes of
suspension and steering travel, interference with vehicle components may cause tire damage.
WARNING: Failure to equip the vehicle with tires having adequate speed capability can result in
sudden tire failure.

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

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

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

TIRES
Remove the protective coating on the tires before delivery of a vehicle. This coating may cause
deterioration of the tires.
To remove the protective coating, apply warm water and let it soak for a few minutes. Afterwards,
scrub the coating away with a soft bristle brush. Steam cleaning may also be used to remove the
coating.
NOTE: DO NOT use gasoline, mineral oil, oil-based solvent or a wire brush for cleaning.

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

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

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

Wheels: Testing and Inspection
WHEEL INSPECTION
Inspect wheels for:
- Excessive 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.

HYDRAULIC TAPPETS
Before disassembling any part of the engine to correct tappet noise, check the oil pressure. If
vehicle has no oil pressure gauge, install a reliable gauge at the pressure sending-unit. The
pressure should be between 207-552 kPa (30-70 psi) at 3,000 RPM.
Check the oil level after the engine reaches normal operating temperature. Allow 5 minutes to
stabilize oil level, check dipstick. The oil level in the pan should never be above the FULL mark or
below the ADD OIL mark on dipstick. Either of these two conditions could be responsible for noisy
tappets.
OIL LEVEL
HIGH
If oil level is above the FULL mark, it is possible for the connecting rods to dip into the oil. With the
engine running, this condition could create foam in the oil pan. Foam in oil pan would be fed to the
hydraulic tappets by the oil pump causing them to lose length and allow valves to seat noisily.
LOW
Low oil level may allow oil pump to take in air. When air is fed to the tappets, they lose length,
which allows valves to seat noisily. Any leaks on intake side of oil pump through which air can be
drawn will create the same tappet action. Check the lubrication system from the intake strainer to
the pump cover, including the relief valve retainer cap. When tappet noise is due to aeration, it may
be intermittent or constant, and usually more than one tappet will be noisy. When oil level and
leaks have been corrected, operate the engine at fast idle. Run engine for a sufficient time to allow
all of the air inside the tappets to be bled out.
TAPPET NOISE DIAGNOSIS
1. To determine source of tappet noise, crank over engine with cylinder head covers removed. 2.
Feel each valve spring or rocker arm to detect noisy tappet. The noisy tappet will cause the
affected spring and/or rocker arm to vibrate or feel
rough in operation.
NOTE: Worn valve guides or cocked springs are sometimes mistaken for noisy tappets. If such is
the case, noise may be dampened by applying side thrust on the valve spring. If noise is not
appreciably reduced, it can be assumed the noise is in the tappet. Inspect the rocker arm push rod
sockets and push rod ends for wear.
3. Valve tappet noise ranges from light noise to a heavy click. A light noise is usually caused by
excessive leak-down around the unit plunger, or by
the plunger partially sticking in the tappet body cylinder. The tappet should be replaced. A heavy
click is caused by a tappet check valve not seating, or by foreign particles wedged between the
plunger and the tappet body. This will cause the plunger to stick in the down position. This heavy
click will be accompanied by excessive clearance between the valve stem and rocker arm as valve
closes. In either case, tappet assembly should be removed for inspection and cleaning.
4. The valve train generates a noise very much like a light tappet noise during normal operation.
Care must be taken to ensure that tappets are making
the noise. If more than one tappet seems to be noisy, it's probably not the tappets.

Piston: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION
CAUTION: Do not use a metal stamp to mark connecting rods as damage may result, instead use
ink or a scratch awl.
The pistons are made of a high strength aluminum alloy. Piston skirts are coated with a solid
lubricant (Molykote) to reduce friction and provide scuff resistance. The piston top ring groove and
land is anodized. The connecting rods are made of forged powdered metal, with a "fractured cap"
design. A pressed fit piston pin is used to attach the piston and connecting rod.

Piston: Procedures
Piston and Connecting Rod - Cleaning
CLEANING
CAUTION: DO NOT use a wire wheel or other abrasive cleaning devise to clean the pistons or
connecting rods. The pistons have a Moly coating, this coating must not be damaged.
1. Using a suitable cleaning solvent clean the pistons in warm water and towel dry. 2. Use a wood
or plastic scraper to clean the ring land grooves.
CAUTION: DO NOT remove the piston pin from the piston and connecting rod assembly.
Piston and Connecting Rod - Inspection
INSPECTION
Check the connecting rod journal for excessive wear, taper and scoring.
Check the connecting rod for signs of twist or bending.
Check the piston for taper and elliptical shape before it is fitted into the cylinder bore.
Check the piston for scoring, or scraping marks in the piston skirts. Check the ring lands for cracks
and/or deterioration.
Piston Fitting
STANDARD PROCEDURE - PISTON FITTING
1. To correctly select the proper size piston, a cylinder bore gauge, capable of reading in 0.003 mm
(.0001 in.) INCREMENTS is required. If a bore
gauge is not available, do not use an inside micrometer.
2. Measure the inside diameter of the cylinder bore at a point 38.0 mm (1.5 inches) below top of
bore. Start perpendicular (across or at 90 degrees)
to the axis of the crankshaft at point A and then take an additional bore reading 90 degrees to that
at point B.
3. The coated pistons will be serviced with the piston pin and connecting rod pre-assembled. The
piston-rod assembly is specific for the left cylinder
bank ( odd numbered) and the right cylinder bank ( even numbered) and must not be interchanged.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Cylinder Block Assembly > Piston, Engine >
Component Information > Service and Repair > Procedures > Page 2457
4. The coating material is applied to the piston after the final piston machining process. Measuring
the outside diameter of a coated piston will not
provide accurate results. Therefore measuring the inside diameter of the cylinder bore with a dial
Bore Gauge is MANDATORY. To correctly select the proper size piston, a cylinder bore gauge
capable of reading in 0.003 mm (.0001 in.) increments is required.
5. Piston installation into the cylinder bore requires slightly more pressure than that required for
non-coated pistons. The bonded coating on the
piston will give the appearance of a line-to-line fit with the cylinder bore.

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, are considered normal. These are not a reason to replace the belt.
However, cracks running along a rib (not across) are not normal. Any belt with cracks running
along a rib must be replaced. Also replace the belt if it has excessive wear, frayed cords or severe
glazing.
Refer 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 alignment, glazing, or
excessive end play.

Drive Belt Tensioner: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
Correct drive belt tension is required to ensure optimum performance of the belt driven engine
accessories. If specified tension is not maintained, belt slippage may cause; engine overheating,
lack of power steering assist, loss of air conditioning capacity, reduced generator output rate, and
greatly reduced belt life.
It is not necessary to adjust belt tension on the 3/7L/4.7L or 5.7L engines. These engines are
equipped with an automatic belt tensioner (1). The tensioner maintains correct belt tension at all
times. Due to use of this belt tensioner, do not attempt to use a belt tension gauge on these
engines.

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

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

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

Crankshaft Main Bearing Seal: Testing and Inspection
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - REAR SEAL AREA LEAKS
Since it is sometimes difficult to determine the source of an oil leak in the rear seal area of the
engine, a more involved inspection is necessary. The following steps should be followed to help
pinpoint the source of the leak.
If the leakage occurs at the crankshaft rear oil seal area:
1. Disconnect the battery. 2. Raise the vehicle. 3. Remove torque converter or clutch housing cover
and inspect rear of block for evidence of oil. Use a black light to check for the oil leak:
a. Circular spray pattern generally indicates seal leakage or crankshaft damage. b. Where leakage
tends to run straight down, possible causes are a porous block, camshaft bore cup plugs, oil galley
pipe plugs, oil filter runoff,
and main bearing cap to cylinder block mating surfaces.
4. If no leaks are detected, pressurize the crankcase as outlined, Inspection (Engine oil Leaks in
general)
CAUTION: Do not exceed 20.6 kPa (3 psi).
5. If the leak is not detected, very slowly turn the crankshaft and watch for leakage. If a leak is
detected between the crankshaft and seal while slowly
turning the crankshaft, it is possible the crankshaft seal surface is damaged. The seal area on the
crankshaft could have minor nicks or scratches that can be polished out with emery cloth.
CAUTION: Use extreme caution when crankshaft polishing is necessary to remove minor nicks or
scratches. The crankshaft seal flange is specially machined to complement the function of the rear
oil seal.
6. For bubbles that remain steady with shaft rotation, no further inspection can be done until
disassembled. Refer to ENGINE TESTING, under the
Oil Leak row, for components inspections on possible causes and corrections.
7. After the oil leak root cause and appropriate corrective action have been identified, Refer to
CRANKSHAFT OIL SEAL REAR REMOVAL.

Idle Speed: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
A separate IAC motor is not used with the 5.7L V-8 engine.
The IAC stepper motor is mounted to the throttle body, and regulates the amount of air bypassing
the control of the throttle plate. As engine loads and ambient temperatures change, engine rpm
changes. A pintle on the IAC stepper motor protrudes into a passage in the throttle body,
controlling air flow through the passage. The IAC is controlled by the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) to maintain the target engine idle speed.

Speed > System Information > Description and Operation > Description > Page 2695
Idle Speed: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
A separate IAC motor is not used with the 5.7L V-8 engine.
At idle, engine speed can be increased by retracting the IAC motor pintle and allowing more air to
pass through the port, or it can be decreased by restricting the passage with the pintle and
diminishing the amount of air bypassing the throttle plate.
The IAC is called a stepper motor because it is moved (rotated) in steps, or increments. Opening
the IAC opens an air passage around the throttle blade which increases RPM.
The PCM uses the IAC motor to control idle speed (along with timing) and to reach a desired MAP
during decel (keep engine from stalling).
The IAC motor has 4 wires with 4 circuits. Two of the wires are for 12 volts and ground to supply
electrical current to the motor windings to operate the stepper motor in one direction. The other 2
wires are also for 12 volts and ground to supply electrical current to operate the stepper motor in
the opposite direction.
To make the IAC go in the opposite direction, the PCM just reverses polarity on both windings. If
only 1 wire is open, the IAC can only be moved 1 step (increment) in either direction. To keep the
IAC motor in position when no movement is needed, the PCM will energize both windings at the
same time. This locks the IAC motor in place.
In the IAC motor system, the PCM will count every step that the motor is moved. This allows the
PCM to determine the motor pintle position. If the memory is cleared, the PCM no longer knows the
position of the pintle. So at the first key ON, the PCM drives the IAC motor closed, regardless of
where it was before. This zeros the counter. From this point the PCM will back out the IAC motor
and keep track of its position again.
When engine rpm is above idle speed, the IAC is used for the following:
- Off-idle dashpot (throttle blade will close quickly but idle speed will not stop quickly)
- Deceleration air flow control
- A/C compressor load control (also opens the passage slightly before the compressor is engaged
so that the engine rpm does not dip down when the compressor engages)
- Power steering load control
The PCM can control polarity of the circuit to control direction of the stepper motor.
IAC Stepper Motor Program: The PCM is also equipped with a memory program that records the
number of steps the IAC stepper motor most recently advanced to during a certain set of
parameters. For example: The PCM was attempting to maintain a 1000 rpm target during a cold
start-up cycle. The last recorded number of steps for that may have been 125. That value would be
recorded in the memory cell so that the next time the PCM recognizes the identical conditions, the
PCM recalls that 125 steps were required to maintain the target. This program allows for greater
customer satisfaction due to greater control of engine idle.
Another function of the memory program, which occurs when the power steering switch (if
equipped), or the A/C request circuit, requires that the IAC stepper motor control engine rpm, is the
recording of the last targeted steps into the memory cell. The PCM can anticipate A/C compressor
loads. This is accomplished by delaying compressor operation for approximately 0.5 seconds until
the PCM moves the IAC stepper motor to the recorded steps that were loaded into the memory
cell. Using this program helps eliminate idle-quality changes as loads change. Finally, the PCM
incorporates a "No-Load" engine speed limiter of approximately 1800 - 2000 rpm, when it
recognizes that the TPS is indicating an idle signal and IAC motor cannot maintain engine idle.
A (factory adjusted) set screw is used to mechanically limit the position of the throttle body throttle
plate. Never attempt to adjust the engine idle speed using this screw. All idle speed functions are
controlled by the IAC motor through the PCM.

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

Coolant: Description and Operation Coolant
DESCRIPTION
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/160.000 km (100,000 Mile) Formula
(ethylene-glycol base coolant with corrosion inhibitors called HOAT, for 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/160.935 KM, (5 Year/100,000 Mile) Formula
(MS-9769), or the equivalent ethylene-glycol base coolant with organic corrosion inhibitors (called
HOAT, for Hybrid Organic Additive Technology) is recommended. This coolant offers the best
engine cooling without corrosion when mixed with 50% ethylene-glycol and 50% distilled water to
obtain a freeze point of -37° C (-35° F). If it loses color or becomes contaminated, drain, flush, and
replace with fresh properly mixed coolant solution.
CAUTION: Mopar(R) Antifreeze/Coolant, 5 Year/100,000 Mile Formula (MS-9769) may not be
mixed with any other type of antifreeze. Mixing of coolants other than specified (non-HOAT or other
HOAT), may result in engine damage that may not be covered under the new vehicle warranty, and
decreased corrosion protection.
COOLANT PERFORMANCE
The required ethylene-glycol and water mixture depends upon climate and vehicle operating
conditions. The coolant performance of various mixtures follows:
Pure Water - Water can absorb more heat than a mixture of water and ethylene-glycol. This is for
purpose of heat transfer only. Water also freezes at a higher temperature and allows corrosion.
100 percent Ethylene-Glycol - The corrosion inhibiting additives in ethylene-glycol need the
presence of water to dissolve. Without water, additives form deposits in system. These act as
insulation causing temperature to rise to as high as 149° C (300° F). This temperature is hot
enough to melt plastic 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 160,935 km (5 Year/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, cylinder head, 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. On the 6.7L diesel engine, coolant also flows through the EGR cooler and
turbocharger actuator. 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 Tool 8266, 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.

Coolant: Testing and Inspection Coolant Level Check
COOLANT LEVEL CHECK
NOTE: Do not remove radiator cap for routine coolant level inspections. The coolant level can be
checked at coolant recovery bottle (2).
The coolant reserve/overflow system (5) provides a quick method for determining coolant level
without removing radiator pressure cap. With engine not running, open the coolant recovery bottle
cap and remove coolant level indicator dipstick to observe coolant level in coolant recovery bottle.
The coolant level should be between ADD and FULL marks. If the coolant level is at or below the
ADD mark, fill the recovery bottle with a 50/50 mixture of antifreeze and water ONE QUART AT A
TIME. Repeat this procedure until the coolant level is at the FULL mark.

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

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 > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Cooling System > Radiator Cooling Fan > Radiator Cooling
Fan Motor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2788
- 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.

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

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

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

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

RADIATOR COOLANT FLOW
Use the following procedure to determine if coolant is flowing through cooling system.
1. Idle engine until operating temperature is reached. If upper radiator hose is warm to the touch,
thermostat is opening and coolant is flowing to
radiator.
WARNING: HOT, PRESSURIZED COOLANT CAN CAUSE INJURY BY SCALDING. USING A
RAG TO COVER RADIATOR PRESSURE CAP, OPEN RADIATOR CAP SLOWLY TO FIRST
STOP. ALLOW ANY BUILT-UP PRESSURE TO VENT TO THE RESERVE/OVERFLOW TANK.
AFTER PRESSURE BUILD-UP HAS BEEN RELEASED, REMOVE CAP FROM FILLER NECK.
2. Drain a small amount of coolant from radiator until ends of radiator tubes are visible through filler
neck. Idle engine at normal operating
temperature. If coolant is flowing past exposed tubes, coolant is circulating.

Radiator Cap: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
All cooling systems are equipped with a pressure cap on the radiator. This cap releases pressure
at some point within a range of 131-to-158 kPa (19-to-23 psi). The pressure relief point (in pounds)
is engraved on top of the cap (3).
The cooling system will operate at pressures slightly above atmospheric pressure. This results in a
higher coolant boiling point allowing increased radiator cooling capacity. The cap contains a
spring-loaded pressure relief valve (4). This valve opens when system pressure reaches the
release range of 131-to-158 kPa (19-to-23 psi).
A rubber gasket (2) seals the radiator filler neck. This is done to maintain vacuum during coolant
cool-down and to prevent leakage when system is under pressure.

Radiator Cap: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
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 Radiator Cap
RADIATOR CAP
Remove cap (1) from radiator. Be sure that sealing surfaces are clean. Moisten rubber gasket with
water and install cap (1) on pressure tester 7700 (2) or an equivalent.
Operate tester pump to bring pressure to 138 kPa (20 psi) on gauge. If pressure cap (1) fails to
hold pressure of at least 131 kPa (19 psi) replace cap. Refer to the following CAUTION.
The pressure cap may test properly while positioned on tool 7700 (or equivalent). It may not hold
pressure or vacuum when installed on radiator. If so, inspect radiator filler neck and cap's top
gasket for damage. Also inspect for dirt or distortion that may prevent cap from sealing properly.
CAUTION: Radiator pressure testing tools are very sensitive to small air leaks, which will not cause
cooling system problems. A pressure cap that does not have a history of coolant loss should not be
replaced just because it leaks slowly when tested with this tool. Add water to tool. Turn tool upside
down and recheck pressure cap to confirm that cap needs replacement.

Radiator Cap: Testing and Inspection Radiator Cap To Filler Neck Seal
RADIATOR CAP-TO-FILLER NECK SEAL
The pressure cap upper gasket (seal) pressure relief can be tested by removing overflow hose
from radiator filler neck nipple. Attach hose of pressure tester tool 7700 (or equivalent) to nipple. It
will be necessary to disconnect hose from its adapter for filler neck. Pump air into radiator. The
pressure cap upper gasket should relieve at 131 kPa (21 psi) and hold pressure at a minimum of
130 kPa (18.8 psi).
WARNING: THE WARNING WORDS "DO NOT OPEN HOT" ON RADIATOR PRESSURE CAP,
ARE A SAFETY PRECAUTION. WHEN HOT, PRESSURE BUILDS UP IN COOLING SYSTEM.
TO PREVENT SCALDING OR INJURY, RADIATOR CAP SHOULD NOT BE REMOVED WHILE
SYSTEM IS HOT AND/OR UNDER PRESSURE.
Do not remove radiator cap at any time except for the following purposes:
1. Check and adjust antifreeze freeze point. 2. Refill system with new antifreeze. 3. Conducting
service procedures. 4. Checking for vacuum leaks.
WARNING: IF VEHICLE HAS BEEN RUN RECENTLY, WAIT AT LEAST 15 MINUTES BEFORE
REMOVING RADIATOR CAP. WITH A RAG, SQUEEZE RADIATOR UPPER HOSE TO CHECK
IF SYSTEM IS UNDER PRESSURE. PLACE A RAG OVER CAP AND WITHOUT PUSHING CAP
DOWN, ROTATE IT COUNTER-CLOCKWISE TO FIRST STOP. ALLOW FLUID TO ESCAPE
THROUGH THE COOLANT RESERVE/OVERFLOW HOSE INTO RESERVE/OVERFLOW TANK.
SQUEEZE RADIATOR UPPER HOSE TO DETERMINE WHEN PRESSURE HAS BEEN
RELEASED. WHEN COOLANT AND STEAM STOP BEING PUSHED INTO TANK AND SYSTEM
PRESSURE DROPS, REMOVE RADIATOR CAP COMPLETELY.

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

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

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

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

Thermostat: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
CAUTION: Do not operate an engine without a thermostat, except for servicing or testing.
The thermostat on the 5.7L gas powered engine is located beneath the thermostat housing (1) at
the front of the intake manifold.
On the 3.7L/4.7L engine the thermostat (4) is designed to block the flow of the coolant bypass
journal by 50% instead of completely blocking the flow.
The thermostat is a wax pellet driven, reverse poppet choke type.
Coolant leakage into the pellet container will cause the thermostat to fail in the open position.
Thermostats very rarely stick. Do not attempt to free a thermostat with a prying device.
The same thermostat is used for winter and summer seasons. An engine should not be operated
without a thermostat, except for servicing or testing. Operating without a thermostat causes longer
engine warm-up time, unreliable warm-up performance, increased exhaust emissions and
crankcase

THERMOSTAT
ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTICS
All gasoline powered models are equipped with On-Board Diagnostics for certain cooling system
components. Refer to On-Board Diagnostics (OBD). If the powertrain control module (PCM)
detects low engine coolant temperature, it will record a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) in the PCM
memory. Do not change a thermostat for lack of heat as indicated by the instrument panel gauge or
by poor heater performance unless a DTC is present. See: Testing and Inspection/On-Board
Diagnostics (OBD)
The DTC can also be accessed through the DRB 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.

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 Group 30, so it is shown there
complete. It can, however, be shown partially in another group if it contains some associated
wiring.
Splice diagrams show the entire splice and provide references to other sections the splices serves.
Spice Information contains splice diagrams that are not shown in their entirety somewhere else in
the wiring diagrams.
Connector Pin-Outs each connector and the circuits involved with that connector. The connectors
are identified using the name/number on the diagram pages.

All ESD sensitive components are solid state and a symbol is used to indicate this. When handling
any component with this symbol, comply with the following procedures to reduce the possibility of
electrostatic charge build up on the body and inadvertent discharge into the component. If it is not
known whether the part is ESD sensitive, assume that it is.
1. Always touch a known good ground before handling the part. This should be repeated while
handling the part and more frequently after sliding
across a seat, sitting down from a standing position, or walking a distance.
2. Avoid touching electrical terminals of the part, unless instructed to do so by a written procedure.
3. When using a voltmeter, be sure to connect the ground lead first.
4. Do not remove the part from it's protective packing until it is time to install the part.

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 > Body Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 2997
- 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.

SYMPTOM/CONDITION: The customer may experience a premature and momentary activation of
the Electronic Stability Program (ESP) system. The premature activation of the ESP system may or
may not be accompanied with the illumination of the ESP indicator lamp located in the instrument
cluster. The customer may experience the momentary ESP system activation on a "clover leaf type
turn, at speeds of approximately 25 to 40 MPH (40 to 64 KPH). This could also be described as a
lack of throttle response or hesitation. Driving over speed bumps at a slight angle can also cause
the same ESP event accompanied by lack of throttle response. The customer may also complain of
low idle speed.
The customer may also experience MIL for one of the following Diagnostic Trouble Code:

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.

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.

Information and Instructions > Page 3081
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 Group 30, so it is shown there
complete. It can, however, be shown partially in another group if it contains some associated
wiring.
Splice diagrams show the entire splice and provide references to other sections the splices serves.
Spice Information contains splice diagrams that are not shown in their entirety somewhere else in
the wiring diagrams.
Connector Pin-Outs 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.
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 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 3092
- 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
Description
DESCRIPTION
The PCM (2) is attached to the right-front inner fender (1) located in the engine compartment.
Modes Of Operation
MODES OF OPERATION
As input signals to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) change, the PCM adjusts its response to
the output devices. The PCM will operate in two different modes: Open Loop and Closed Loop.
During Open Loop modes, the PCM receives input signals and responds only according to preset
PCM programming. Input from the oxygen (O2S) sensors is not monitored during Open Loop
modes.
During Closed Loop modes, the PCM will monitor the oxygen (O2S) sensors input. This input
indicates to the PCM whether or not the calculated injector pulse width results in the ideal air-fuel
ratio. This ratio is 14.7 parts air-to-1 part fuel. By monitoring the exhaust oxygen content through
the O2S sensor, the PCM can fine tune the injector pulse width. This is done to achieve optimum
fuel economy combined with low emission engine performance.
The fuel injection system has the following modes of operation:
- Ignition switch ON
- Engine start-up (crank)
- Engine warm-up
- Idle
- Cruise
- Acceleration
- Deceleration
- Wide open throttle (WOT)
- Ignition switch OFF
The ignition switch On, engine start-up (crank), engine warm-up, acceleration, deceleration and
wide open throttle modes are Open Loop modes. The idle and cruise modes, (with the engine at
operating temperature) are Closed Loop modes.
IGNITION SWITCH (KEY-ON) MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. When the fuel system is activated by the ignition switch, the following
actions occur:
- The PCM pre-positions the idle air control (IAC) motor.
- The PCM determines atmospheric air pressure from the MAP sensor input to determine basic fuel
strategy.
- The PCM monitors the engine coolant temperature sensor input. The PCM modifies fuel strategy
based on this input.
Dodge Durango 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L VIN 2 (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules - Powertrain Management > Relays and
Modules - Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Description and Operation
> Description > Page 3107
- Intake manifold air temperature sensor input is monitored.
- Throttle position sensor (TPS) is monitored.
- The auto shutdown (ASD) relay is energized by the PCM for approximately three seconds.
- The fuel pump is energized through the fuel pump relay by the PCM. The fuel pump will operate
for approximately three seconds unless the engine is operating or the starter motor is engaged.
- The O2S sensor heater element is energized via the ASD relay. The O2S sensor input is not used
by the PCM to calibrate air-fuel ratio during this mode of operation.
ENGINE START-UP MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. The following actions occur when the starter motor is engaged.
The PCM receives inputs from:
- Battery voltage
- Engine coolant temperature sensor
- Crankshaft position sensor
- Intake manifold air temperature sensor
- Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
- Throttle position sensor (TPS)
- Starter motor relay
- Camshaft position sensor signal
The PCM monitors the crankshaft position sensor. If the PCM does not receive a crankshaft
position sensor signal within 3 seconds of cranking the engine, it will shut down the fuel injection
system.
The fuel pump is activated by the PCM through the fuel pump relay.
Voltage is applied to the fuel injectors with the ASD relay via the PCM. The PCM will then control
the injection sequence and injector pulse width by turning the ground circuit to each individual
injector on and off.
The PCM determines the proper ignition timing according to input received from the crankshaft
position sensor.
ENGINE WARM-UP MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. During engine warm-up, the PCM receives inputs from:
- Battery voltage
- Crankshaft position sensor
- Engine coolant temperature sensor
- Intake manifold air temperature sensor
- Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
- Throttle position sensor (TPS)
- Camshaft position sensor signal
- Park/neutral switch (gear indicator signal-auto. trans. only)
- Air conditioning select signal (if equipped)
- Air conditioning request signal (if equipped)
Based on these inputs the following occurs:
- Voltage is applied to the fuel injectors with the ASD relay via the PCM. The PCM will then control
the injection sequence and injector pulse width by turning the ground circuit to each individual
injector on and off.
- The PCM adjusts engine idle speed through the idle air control (IAC) motor and adjusts ignition
timing.
- The PCM operates the A/C compressor clutch through the clutch relay. This is done if A/C has
been selected by the vehicle operator and requested by the A/C thermostat.
- When engine has reached operating temperature, the PCM will begin monitoring O2S sensor
input. The system will then leave the warm-up mode and go into closed loop operation.
IDLE MODE
When the engine is at operating temperature, this is a Closed Loop mode. At idle speed, the PCM
receives inputs from:
- Air conditioning select signal (if equipped)
- Air conditioning request signal (if equipped)
- Battery voltage
- Crankshaft position sensor

- Engine coolant temperature sensor
- Intake manifold air temperature sensor
- Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
- Throttle position sensor (TPS)
- Camshaft position sensor signal
- Battery voltage
- Park/neutral switch (gear indicator signal-auto. trans. only)
- Oxygen sensors
Based on these inputs, the following occurs:
- Voltage is applied to the fuel injectors with the ASD relay via the PCM. The PCM will then control
injection sequence and injector pulse width by turning the ground circuit to each individual injector
on and off.
- The PCM monitors the O2S sensor input and adjusts air-fuel ratio by varying injector pulse width.
It also adjusts engine idle speed through the idle air control (IAC) motor.
- The PCM adjusts ignition timing by increasing and decreasing spark advance.
- The PCM operates the A/C compressor clutch through the clutch relay. This happens if A/C has
been selected by the vehicle operator and requested by the A/C thermostat.
CRUISE MODE
When the engine is at operating temperature, this is a Closed Loop mode. At cruising speed, the
PCM receives inputs from:
- Air conditioning select signal (if equipped)
- Air conditioning request signal (if equipped)
- Battery voltage
- Engine coolant temperature sensor
- Crankshaft position sensor
- Intake manifold air temperature sensor
- Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
- Throttle position sensor (TPS)
- Camshaft position sensor signal
- Park/neutral switch (gear indicator signal-auto. trans. only)
- Oxygen (O2S) sensors
Based on these inputs, the following occurs:
- Voltage is applied to the fuel injectors with the ASD relay via the PCM. The PCM will then adjust
the injector pulse width by turning the ground circuit to each individual injector on and off.
- The PCM monitors the O2S sensor input and adjusts air-fuel ratio. It also adjusts engine idle
speed through the idle air control (IAC) motor.
- The PCM adjusts ignition timing by turning the ground path to the coil on and off.
- The PCM operates the A/C compressor clutch through the clutch relay. This happens if A/C has
been selected by the vehicle operator and requested by the A/C thermostat.
ACCELERATION MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. The PCM recognizes an abrupt increase in throttle position or MAP
pressure as a demand for increased engine output and vehicle acceleration. The PCM increases
injector pulse width in response to increased throttle opening.
DECELERATION MODE
When the engine is at operating temperature, this is an Open Loop mode. During hard
deceleration, the PCM receives the following inputs.
- Air conditioning select signal (if equipped)
- Air conditioning request signal (if equipped)
- Battery voltage
- Engine coolant temperature sensor
- Crankshaft position sensor
- Intake manifold air temperature sensor
- Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
- Throttle position sensor (TPS)
- Camshaft position sensor signal
- Park/neutral switch (gear indicator signal-auto. trans. only)
- Vehicle speed sensor
If the vehicle is under hard deceleration with the proper rpm and closed throttle conditions, the
PCM will ignore the oxygen sensor input signal. The

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

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

Ignition Circuit Sense
IGNITION CIRCUIT SENSE
The ignition circuit sense input tells the PCM the ignition switch has energized the ignition circuit.
Battery voltage is also supplied to the PCM through the ignition switch when the ignition is in the
RUN or START position. This is referred to as the "ignition sense" circuit and is used to "wake up"
the PCM. Voltage on the ignition input can be as low as 6 volts and the PCM will still function.

SKREEM Programming
Engine Control Module: Testing and Inspection SKREEM Programming
SKREEM PROGRAMMING
When a Powertrain Control Module (PCM) for a gasoline engine, or an Engine Control Module
(ECM) for a diesel engine and the Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM) (also known as
the Wireless Control Module/WCM) on vehicles equipped with the Sentry Key Immobilizer System
(SKIS) are replaced at the same time, perform the following steps in order:
1. Program the new PCM/ECM.
2. Program the new SKREEM/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/ECM or SKREEM/WCM is replaced, it is necessary to program the Secret
Key into the new module using a diagnostic scan tool. Follow the programming steps outlined in
the diagnostic scan tool for PCM REPLACED, ECM REPLACED, WCM REPLACED, or
GATEWAY REPLACED under MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS for the WIRELESS CONTROL
MODULE/WCM menu item as appropriate.
NOTE: Be certain to enter the correct country code for the SKREEM/WCM. If the incorrect country
code is programmed into the SKREEM, it cannot be changed and the SKREEM must be replaced.
NOTE: In addition, the SKREEM/WCM must be configured for certain optional equipment in the
vehicle, including Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM), Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) and Remote Start.
Follow the programming steps outlined in the diagnostic scan tool under MISCELLANEOUS
FUNCTIONS for the WCM/WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE menu item as appropriate.
NOTE: A replacement SKREEM/WCM is supplied with TPM enabled by default; therefore, if the
vehicle is not equipped with TPM, the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) will incorrectly
learn that the vehicle has TPM after the replacement SKREEM is installed. The TPM indicator in
the EMIC will illuminate to show a TPM fault condition after TPM has been disabled in the
SKREEM. The EMIC must unlearn TPM to correct this false TPM indication. Follow the
programming steps outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for CLEAR LEARNED FEATURES under
MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS for the INSTRUMENT CLUSTER 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 three attempts are made to enter secure access mode using an
incorrect PIN, secure access mode will be locked out for one hour. To exit this lockout mode, turn
the ignition to the RUN position for one hour then enter the correct PIN. Be certain that all
accessories are turned OFF. Also monitor the battery state and connect a battery charger if
necessary.
PROGRAMMING IGNITION KEYS TO THE SKREEM
Each ignition key transponder also has a unique ID code that is assigned at the time the key is
manufactured. When a key is programmed into the SKREEM/WCM, the transponder ID code is
learned by the module and the transponder acquires the unique Secret Key ID code from the
SKREEM/WCM. To program ignition keys into the SKREEM/WCM, follow the programming steps
outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for PROGRAM IGNITION KEYS OR KEY FOBS under
MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS for the WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE/WCM menu item.
NOTE: A maximum of eight keys can be learned to each SKREEM. Once a key is learned to a
SKREEM, that key has acquired the Secret Key for that SKREEM and cannot be transferred to any
other SKREEM or vehicle.
If ignition key programming is unsuccessful, the scan tool will display one of the following error
messages:
- PROGRAMMING NOT ATTEMPTED - The scan tool attempts to read the programmed key status
and there are no keys programmed into SKREEM memory.
- PROGRAMMING KEY FAILED (POSSIBLE USED KEY FROM WRONG VEHICLE) - SKREEM is
unable to program an ignition key transponder due to one of the following:
- The ignition key transponder is ineffective.
- The ignition key transponder is or has been already programmed to another vehicle.
- 8 KEYS ALREADY LEARNED, PROGRAMMING NOT DONE - The SKREEM transponder ID
memory is full.
- LEARNED KEY IN IGNITION - The ID for the ignition key transponder currently in the ignition lock
cylinder is already programmed into

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

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

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

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

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

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

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
Two knock sensors are bolted into the cylinder block under the intake manifold 3.7L & 4.7L.
Two knock sensors are also used with the 5.7L. These are bolted into each side of the cylinder
block (outside) under the exhaust manifold.

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
Two knock sensors are used; one for each cylinder bank. When the knock sensor detects a knock
in one of the cylinders on the corresponding bank, it sends an input signal to the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM). In response, the PCM retards ignition timing for all cylinders by a scheduled
amount.
Knock sensors contain a piezoelectric 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 the knock sensor voltage signal as an input. If the signal rises above a
predetermined level, the PCM will store that value in memory and retard ignition timing to reduce
engine knock. If the knock sensor voltage exceeds a preset value, the PCM retards ignition timing
for all cylinders. It is not a selective cylinder retard.
The PCM ignores knock sensor input during engine idle conditions. Once the engine speed
exceeds a specified value, knock retard is allowed.
Knock retard uses its own short term and long term memory program.
Long term memory stores previous detonation information in its battery-backed RAM. The
maximum authority that long term memory has over timing retard can be calibrated.
Short term memory is allowed to retard timing up to a preset amount under all operating conditions
(as long as rpm is above the minimum rpm) except at Wide Open Throttle (WOT). The PCM, using
short term memory, can respond quickly to retard timing when engine knock is detected. Short term
memory is lost any time the ignition key is turned off.
NOTE: Over or under tightening the sensor mounting bolts will affect knock sensor performance,
possibly causing improper spark control. Always use the specified torque when installing the knock
sensors.

Manifold Pressure/Vacuum Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The MAP sensor is used as an input to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). It contains a silicon
based sensing unit to provide data on the manifold vacuum that draws the air/fuel mixture into the
combustion chamber. The PCM requires this information to determine injector pulse width and
spark advance. When manifold absolute pressure (MAP) equals Barometric pressure, the pulse
width will be at maximum.
A 5 volt reference is supplied from the PCM and returns a voltage signal to the PCM that reflects
manifold pressure. The zero pressure reading is 0.5V and full scale is 4.5V. For a pressure swing
of 0-15 psi, the voltage changes 4.0V. To operate the sensor, it is supplied a regulated 4.8 to 5.1
volts. Ground is provided through the low-noise, sensor return circuit at the PCM.
The MAP sensor input is the number one contributor to fuel injector pulse width. The most
important function of the MAP sensor is to determine barometric pressure. The PCM needs to
know if the vehicle is at sea level or at a higher altitude, because the air density changes with
altitude. It will also help to correct for varying barometric pressure. Barometric pressure and altitude
have a direct inverse correlation; as altitude goes up, barometric goes down. At key-on, the PCM
powers up and looks at MAP voltage, and based upon the voltage it sees, it knows the current
barometric pressure (relative to altitude). Once the engine starts, the PCM looks at the voltage
again, continuously every 12 milliseconds, and compares the current voltage to what it was at
key-on. The difference between current voltage and what it was at key-on, is manifold vacuum.
During key-on (engine not running) the sensor reads (updates) barometric pressure. A normal
range can be obtained by monitoring a known good sensor.
As the altitude increases, the air becomes thinner (less oxygen). If a vehicle is started and driven to
a very different altitude than where it was at key-on, the barometric pressure needs to be updated.
Any time the PCM sees Wide Open Throttle (WOT), based upon Throttle Position Sensor (TPS)
angle and RPM, it will update barometric pressure in the MAP memory cell. With periodic updates,
the PCM can make its calculations more effectively.
The PCM uses the MAP sensor input to aid in calculating the following:
- Manifold pressure
- Barometric pressure
- Engine load
- Injector pulse-width
- Spark-advance programs
- Shift-point strategies (certain automatic transmissions only)
- Idle speed
- Decel fuel shutoff
The MAP sensor signal is provided from a single piezoresistive element located in the center of a
diaphragm. The element and diaphragm are both made of silicone. As manifold pressure changes,
the diaphragm moves causing the element to deflect, which stresses the silicone. When silicone is
exposed to stress, its resistance changes. As manifold vacuum increases, the MAP sensor input
voltage decreases proportionally. The sensor also contains electronics that condition the signal and
provide temperature compensation.
The PCM recognizes a decrease in manifold pressure by monitoring a decrease in voltage from the
reading stored in the barometric pressure memory cell. The MAP sensor is a linear sensor;
meaning as pressure changes, voltage changes proportionately. The range of voltage output from
the sensor is usually between 4.6 volts at sea level to as low as 0.3 volts at 26 in. of Hg. Barometric
pressure is the pressure exerted by the atmosphere upon an object. At sea level on a standard
day, no storm, barometric pressure is approximately 29.92 in Hg. For every 100 feet of altitude,
barometric pressure drops 0.10 in. Hg. If a storm goes through, it can change barometric pressure
from what should be present for that altitude. You should know what the average pressure and
corresponding barometric pressure is for your area.

Throttle Position Sensor: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The 3-wire Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) is mounted on the throttle body and is connected to the
throttle blade shaft.
The 5.7L V-8 engine does not use a separate TPS on the throttle body. If it is determined that TPS
signal is bad, due to the sensor itself, the throttle body will need to be replaced.

Throttle Position Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The 5.7L V-8 engine does not use a separate Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) on the throttle body.
The 3-wire TPS provides the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) with an input signal (voltage) that
represents the throttle blade position of the throttle body. The sensor is connected to the throttle
blade shaft. As the position of the throttle blade changes, the output voltage of the TPS changes.
The PCM supplies approximately 5 volts to the TPS. The TPS output voltage (input signal to the
PCM) represents the throttle blade position. The PCM receives an input signal voltage from the
TPS. This will vary in an approximate range of from 0.26 volts at minimum throttle opening (idle), to
4.49 volts at wide open throttle. Along with inputs from other sensors, the PCM uses the TPS input
to determine current engine operating conditions. In response to engine operating conditions, the
PCM will adjust fuel injector pulse width and ignition timing.
The PCM needs to identify the actions and position of the throttle blade at all times. This
information is needed to assist in performing the following calculations:
- Ignition timing advance
- Fuel injection pulse-width
- Idle (learned value or minimum TPS)
- Off-idle (0.06 volt)
- Wide Open Throttle (WOT) open loop (2.608 volts above learned idle voltage)
- Deceleration fuel lean out
- Fuel cutoff during cranking at WOT (2.608 volts above learned idle voltage)
- A/C WOT cutoff (certain automatic transmissions only).

Transmission Position Switch/Sensor: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) is part of the solenoid module, which is mounted to the top
of the valve body inside the transmission.
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) has five switch contact pins that:
- Determine shift lever position
- Supply ground to the Starter Relay in Park and Neutral only.
- Supply +12 V to the backup lamps in Reverse only.
The TRS also has an integrated temperature sensor (thermistor) that communicates transmission
temperature to the TCM and PCM.

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

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 Group 30, so it is shown there
complete. It can, however, be shown partially in another group if it contains some associated
wiring.
Splice diagrams show the entire splice and provide references to other sections the splices serves.
Spice Information contains splice diagrams that are not shown in their entirety somewhere else in
the wiring diagrams.

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 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 3392
- 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.

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

Throttle Position Sensor: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The 3-wire Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) is mounted on the throttle body and is connected to the
throttle blade shaft.
The 5.7L V-8 engine does not use a separate TPS on the throttle body. If it is determined that TPS
signal is bad, due to the sensor itself, the throttle body will need to be replaced.

Throttle Position Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The 5.7L V-8 engine does not use a separate Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) on the throttle body.
The 3-wire TPS provides the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) with an input signal (voltage) that
represents the throttle blade position of the throttle body. The sensor is connected to the throttle
blade shaft. As the position of the throttle blade changes, the output voltage of the TPS changes.
The PCM supplies approximately 5 volts to the TPS. The TPS output voltage (input signal to the
PCM) represents the throttle blade position. The PCM receives an input signal voltage from the
TPS. This will vary in an approximate range of from 0.26 volts at minimum throttle opening (idle), to
4.49 volts at wide open throttle. Along with inputs from other sensors, the PCM uses the TPS input
to determine current engine operating conditions. In response to engine operating conditions, the
PCM will adjust fuel injector pulse width and ignition timing.
The PCM needs to identify the actions and position of the throttle blade at all times. This
information is needed to assist in performing the following calculations:
- Ignition timing advance
- Fuel injection pulse-width
- Idle (learned value or minimum TPS)
- Off-idle (0.06 volt)
- Wide Open Throttle (WOT) open loop (2.608 volts above learned idle voltage)
- Deceleration fuel lean out
- Fuel cutoff during cranking at WOT (2.608 volts above learned idle voltage)
- A/C WOT cutoff (certain automatic transmissions only).

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

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

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
Two knock sensors are used; one for each cylinder bank. When the knock sensor detects a knock
in one of the cylinders on the corresponding bank, it sends an input signal to the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM). In response, the PCM retards ignition timing for all cylinders by a scheduled
amount.
Knock sensors contain a piezoelectric 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 the knock sensor voltage signal as an input. If the signal rises above a
predetermined level, the PCM will store that value in memory and retard ignition timing to reduce
engine knock. If the knock sensor voltage exceeds a preset value, the PCM retards ignition timing
for all cylinders. It is not a selective cylinder retard.
The PCM ignores knock sensor input during engine idle conditions. Once the engine speed
exceeds a specified value, knock retard is allowed.
Knock retard uses its own short term and long term memory program.
Long term memory stores previous detonation information in its battery-backed RAM. The
maximum authority that long term memory has over timing retard can be calibrated.
Short term memory is allowed to retard timing up to a preset amount under all operating conditions
(as long as rpm is above the minimum rpm) except at Wide Open Throttle (WOT). The PCM, using
short term memory, can respond quickly to retard timing when engine knock is detected. Short term
memory is lost any time the ignition key is turned off.
NOTE: Over or under tightening the sensor mounting bolts will affect knock sensor performance,
possibly causing improper spark control. Always use the specified torque when installing the knock
sensors.

Idle Speed: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
A separate IAC motor is not used with the 5.7L V-8 engine.
The IAC stepper motor is mounted to the throttle body, and regulates the amount of air bypassing
the control of the throttle plate. As engine loads and ambient temperatures change, engine rpm
changes. A pintle on the IAC stepper motor protrudes into a passage in the throttle body,
controlling air flow through the passage. The IAC is controlled by the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) to maintain the target engine idle speed.

Information > Description and Operation > Description > Page 3498
Idle Speed: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
A separate IAC motor is not used with the 5.7L V-8 engine.
At idle, engine speed can be increased by retracting the IAC motor pintle and allowing more air to
pass through the port, or it can be decreased by restricting the passage with the pintle and
diminishing the amount of air bypassing the throttle plate.
The IAC is called a stepper motor because it is moved (rotated) in steps, or increments. Opening
the IAC opens an air passage around the throttle blade which increases RPM.
The PCM uses the IAC motor to control idle speed (along with timing) and to reach a desired MAP
during decel (keep engine from stalling).
The IAC motor has 4 wires with 4 circuits. Two of the wires are for 12 volts and ground to supply
electrical current to the motor windings to operate the stepper motor in one direction. The other 2
wires are also for 12 volts and ground to supply electrical current to operate the stepper motor in
the opposite direction.
To make the IAC go in the opposite direction, the PCM just reverses polarity on both windings. If
only 1 wire is open, the IAC can only be moved 1 step (increment) in either direction. To keep the
IAC motor in position when no movement is needed, the PCM will energize both windings at the
same time. This locks the IAC motor in place.
In the IAC motor system, the PCM will count every step that the motor is moved. This allows the
PCM to determine the motor pintle position. If the memory is cleared, the PCM no longer knows the
position of the pintle. So at the first key ON, the PCM drives the IAC motor closed, regardless of
where it was before. This zeros the counter. From this point the PCM will back out the IAC motor
and keep track of its position again.
When engine rpm is above idle speed, the IAC is used for the following:
- Off-idle dashpot (throttle blade will close quickly but idle speed will not stop quickly)
- Deceleration air flow control
- A/C compressor load control (also opens the passage slightly before the compressor is engaged
so that the engine rpm does not dip down when the compressor engages)
- Power steering load control
The PCM can control polarity of the circuit to control direction of the stepper motor.
IAC Stepper Motor Program: The PCM is also equipped with a memory program that records the
number of steps the IAC stepper motor most recently advanced to during a certain set of
parameters. For example: The PCM was attempting to maintain a 1000 rpm target during a cold
start-up cycle. The last recorded number of steps for that may have been 125. That value would be
recorded in the memory cell so that the next time the PCM recognizes the identical conditions, the
PCM recalls that 125 steps were required to maintain the target. This program allows for greater
customer satisfaction due to greater control of engine idle.
Another function of the memory program, which occurs when the power steering switch (if
equipped), or the A/C request circuit, requires that the IAC stepper motor control engine rpm, is the
recording of the last targeted steps into the memory cell. The PCM can anticipate A/C compressor
loads. This is accomplished by delaying compressor operation for approximately 0.5 seconds until
the PCM moves the IAC stepper motor to the recorded steps that were loaded into the memory
cell. Using this program helps eliminate idle-quality changes as loads change. Finally, the PCM
incorporates a "No-Load" engine speed limiter of approximately 1800 - 2000 rpm, when it
recognizes that the TPS is indicating an idle signal and IAC motor cannot maintain engine idle.
A (factory adjusted) set screw is used to mechanically limit the position of the throttle body throttle
plate. Never attempt to adjust the engine idle speed using this screw. All idle speed functions are
controlled by the IAC motor through the PCM.

Installation
INSTALLATION
NOTE: The 4.7L is equipped with copper core ground electrode spark plugs. They must be
replaced with the same type/number spark plug as the original. If another spark plug is substituted,
pre-ignition will result.
Special care should be taken when installing spark plugs into the cylinder head spark plug wells.
Be sure the plugs do not drop into the plug wells as electrodes can be damaged.
Always tighten spark plugs to the specified torque. Over tightening can cause distortion resulting in
a change in the spark plug gap or a cracked porcelain insulator.
1. Start the spark plug into the cylinder head by hand to avoid cross threading.
2. Tighten spark plugs to 27 Nm (20 ft. lbs.). 3.7L & 4.7L.
3. The 5.7L is equipped with torque critical design spark plugs. Do not exceed 15 ft. lbs. torque.
Tighten spark plugs to 18 Nm (13 ft. lbs).
NOTE: 5.7L does not use an O-ring
4. Before installing ignition coil(s), check condition of coil O-ring and replace as necessary. To aid
in coil installation, apply silicone to coil O-ring.
5. Install ignition coil(s).

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

> Component Information > Description and Operation > Intake Air Temperature Sensor - Description > Page 3546
Intake Air Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation Intake Air Temperature Sensor Operation
OPERATION
The IAT sensor provides an input voltage to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) indicating the
density of the air entering the intake manifold based upon intake manifold temperature. At key-on,
a 5-volt power circuit is supplied to the sensor from the PCM. The sensor is grounded at the PCM
through a low-noise, sensor-return circuit.
The PCM uses this input to calculate the following:
- Injector pulse-width
- Adjustment of spark timing (to help prevent spark knock with high intake manifold air-charge
temperatures)
The resistance values of the IAT sensor is the same as for the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT)
sensor.

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.

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.

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 > Computers and Control Systems > Body Control Module >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3579
- 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.

Component Information > Description and Operation > Description > Page 3600
Camshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
5.7L
The CMP sensor is used in conjunction with the crankshaft position sensor to differentiate between
fuel injection and spark events. It is also used to synchronize the fuel injectors with their respective
cylinders. The sensor generates electrical pulses. These pulses (signals) are sent to the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM). The PCM will then determine crankshaft position from both the camshaft
position sensor and crankshaft position sensor.
The tonewheel is located at the front of the camshaft (2). As the tonewheel rotates, notches (3)
pass through the sync signal generator.
When the cam gear is rotating, the sensor will detect the notches. Input voltage from the sensor to
the PCM will then switch from a low (approximately 0.3 volts) to a high (approximately 5 volts).
When the sensor detects a notch has passed, the input voltage switches back low to approximately
0.3 volts.

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

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 Durango 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L VIN 2 (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Data Link Connector >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3671
- 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.

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

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

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

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.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3758
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 Group 30, so it is shown there
complete. It can, however, be shown partially in another group if it contains some associated
wiring.
Splice diagrams show the entire splice and provide references to other sections the splices serves.
Spice Information contains splice diagrams that are not shown in their entirety somewhere else in
the wiring diagrams.

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.
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.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - TESTING FOR A VOLTAGE DROP
1. Connect the positive lead of the voltmeter to the side of the circuit closest to the battery.
2. Connect the other lead of the voltmeter to the other side of the switch, component or circuit.
3. Operate the item.
4. The voltmeter will show the difference in voltage between the two points.
Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
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 > Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3769
- 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
Description
DESCRIPTION
The PCM (2) is attached to the right-front inner fender (1) located in the engine compartment.
Modes Of Operation
MODES OF OPERATION
As input signals to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) change, the PCM adjusts its response to
the output devices. The PCM will operate in two different modes: Open Loop and Closed Loop.
During Open Loop modes, the PCM receives input signals and responds only according to preset
PCM programming. Input from the oxygen (O2S) sensors is not monitored during Open Loop
modes.
During Closed Loop modes, the PCM will monitor the oxygen (O2S) sensors input. This input
indicates to the PCM whether or not the calculated injector pulse width results in the ideal air-fuel
ratio. This ratio is 14.7 parts air-to-1 part fuel. By monitoring the exhaust oxygen content through
the O2S sensor, the PCM can fine tune the injector pulse width. This is done to achieve optimum
fuel economy combined with low emission engine performance.
The fuel injection system has the following modes of operation:
- Ignition switch ON
- Engine start-up (crank)
- Engine warm-up
- Idle
- Cruise
- Acceleration
- Deceleration
- Wide open throttle (WOT)
- Ignition switch OFF
The ignition switch On, engine start-up (crank), engine warm-up, acceleration, deceleration and
wide open throttle modes are Open Loop modes. The idle and cruise modes, (with the engine at
operating temperature) are Closed Loop modes.
IGNITION SWITCH (KEY-ON) MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. When the fuel system is activated by the ignition switch, the following
actions occur:
- The PCM pre-positions the idle air control (IAC) motor.
- The PCM determines atmospheric air pressure from the MAP sensor input to determine basic fuel
strategy.
- The PCM monitors the engine coolant temperature sensor input. The PCM modifies fuel strategy
based on this input.
Dodge Durango 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L VIN 2 (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module >
Component Information > Description and Operation > Description > Page 3784
- Intake manifold air temperature sensor input is monitored.
- Throttle position sensor (TPS) is monitored.
- The auto shutdown (ASD) relay is energized by the PCM for approximately three seconds.
- The fuel pump is energized through the fuel pump relay by the PCM. The fuel pump will operate
for approximately three seconds unless the engine is operating or the starter motor is engaged.
- The O2S sensor heater element is energized via the ASD relay. The O2S sensor input is not used
by the PCM to calibrate air-fuel ratio during this mode of operation.
ENGINE START-UP MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. The following actions occur when the starter motor is engaged.
The PCM receives inputs from:
- Battery voltage
- Engine coolant temperature sensor
- Crankshaft position sensor
- Intake manifold air temperature sensor
- Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
- Throttle position sensor (TPS)
- Starter motor relay
- Camshaft position sensor signal
The PCM monitors the crankshaft position sensor. If the PCM does not receive a crankshaft
position sensor signal within 3 seconds of cranking the engine, it will shut down the fuel injection
system.
The fuel pump is activated by the PCM through the fuel pump relay.
Voltage is applied to the fuel injectors with the ASD relay via the PCM. The PCM will then control
the injection sequence and injector pulse width by turning the ground circuit to each individual
injector on and off.
The PCM determines the proper ignition timing according to input received from the crankshaft
position sensor.
ENGINE WARM-UP MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. During engine warm-up, the PCM receives inputs from:
- Battery voltage
- Crankshaft position sensor
- Engine coolant temperature sensor
- Intake manifold air temperature sensor
- Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
- Throttle position sensor (TPS)
- Camshaft position sensor signal
- Park/neutral switch (gear indicator signal-auto. trans. only)
- Air conditioning select signal (if equipped)
- Air conditioning request signal (if equipped)
Based on these inputs the following occurs:
- Voltage is applied to the fuel injectors with the ASD relay via the PCM. The PCM will then control
the injection sequence and injector pulse width by turning the ground circuit to each individual
injector on and off.
- The PCM adjusts engine idle speed through the idle air control (IAC) motor and adjusts ignition
timing.
- The PCM operates the A/C compressor clutch through the clutch relay. This is done if A/C has
been selected by the vehicle operator and requested by the A/C thermostat.
- When engine has reached operating temperature, the PCM will begin monitoring O2S sensor
input. The system will then leave the warm-up mode and go into closed loop operation.
IDLE MODE
When the engine is at operating temperature, this is a Closed Loop mode. At idle speed, the PCM
receives inputs from:
- Air conditioning select signal (if equipped)
- Air conditioning request signal (if equipped)
- Battery voltage
- Crankshaft position sensor
Dodge Durango 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L VIN 2 (2007))

- Engine coolant temperature sensor
- Intake manifold air temperature sensor
- Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
- Throttle position sensor (TPS)
- Camshaft position sensor signal
- Battery voltage
- Park/neutral switch (gear indicator signal-auto. trans. only)
- Oxygen sensors
Based on these inputs, the following occurs:
- Voltage is applied to the fuel injectors with the ASD relay via the PCM. The PCM will then control
injection sequence and injector pulse width by turning the ground circuit to each individual injector
on and off.
- The PCM monitors the O2S sensor input and adjusts air-fuel ratio by varying injector pulse width.
It also adjusts engine idle speed through the idle air control (IAC) motor.
- The PCM adjusts ignition timing by increasing and decreasing spark advance.
- The PCM operates the A/C compressor clutch through the clutch relay. This happens if A/C has
been selected by the vehicle operator and requested by the A/C thermostat.
CRUISE MODE
When the engine is at operating temperature, this is a Closed Loop mode. At cruising speed, the
PCM receives inputs from:
- Air conditioning select signal (if equipped)
- Air conditioning request signal (if equipped)
- Battery voltage
- Engine coolant temperature sensor
- Crankshaft position sensor
- Intake manifold air temperature sensor
- Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
- Throttle position sensor (TPS)
- Camshaft position sensor signal
- Park/neutral switch (gear indicator signal-auto. trans. only)
- Oxygen (O2S) sensors
Based on these inputs, the following occurs:
- Voltage is applied to the fuel injectors with the ASD relay via the PCM. The PCM will then adjust
the injector pulse width by turning the ground circuit to each individual injector on and off.
- The PCM monitors the O2S sensor input and adjusts air-fuel ratio. It also adjusts engine idle
speed through the idle air control (IAC) motor.
- The PCM adjusts ignition timing by turning the ground path to the coil on and off.
- The PCM operates the A/C compressor clutch through the clutch relay. This happens if A/C has
been selected by the vehicle operator and requested by the A/C thermostat.
ACCELERATION MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. The PCM recognizes an abrupt increase in throttle position or MAP
pressure as a demand for increased engine output and vehicle acceleration. The PCM increases
injector pulse width in response to increased throttle opening.
DECELERATION MODE
When the engine is at operating temperature, this is an Open Loop mode. During hard
deceleration, the PCM receives the following inputs.
- Air conditioning select signal (if equipped)
- Air conditioning request signal (if equipped)
- Battery voltage
- Engine coolant temperature sensor
- Crankshaft position sensor
- Intake manifold air temperature sensor
- Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
- Throttle position sensor (TPS)
- Camshaft position sensor signal
- Park/neutral switch (gear indicator signal-auto. trans. only)
- Vehicle speed sensor
If the vehicle is under hard deceleration with the proper rpm and closed throttle conditions, the
PCM will ignore the oxygen sensor input signal. The
Dodge Durango 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L VIN 2 (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module >
Component Information > Description and Operation > Description > Page 3786
PCM will enter a fuel cut-off strategy in which it will not supply a ground to the injectors. If a hard
deceleration does not exist, the PCM will determine the proper injector pulse width and continue
injection.
Based on the above inputs, the PCM will adjust engine idle speed through the idle air control (IAC)
motor.
The PCM adjusts ignition timing by turning the ground path to the coil on and off.
WIDE OPEN THROTTLE MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. During wide open throttle operation, the PCM receives the following
inputs.
- Battery voltage
- Crankshaft position sensor
- Engine coolant temperature sensor
- Intake manifold air temperature sensor
- Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
- Throttle position sensor (TPS)
- Camshaft position sensor signal
During wide open throttle conditions, the following occurs:
- Voltage is applied to the fuel injectors with the ASD relay via the PCM. The PCM will then control
the injection sequence and injector pulse width by turning the ground circuit to each individual
injector on and off. The PCM ignores the oxygen sensor input signal and provides a predetermined
amount of additional fuel. This is done by adjusting injector pulse width.
- The PCM adjusts ignition timing by turning the ground path to the coil on and off.
IGNITION SWITCH OFF MODE
When ignition switch is turned to OFF position, the PCM stops operating the injectors, ignition coil,
ASD relay and fuel pump relay.
5 Volt Supplies
5 VOLT SUPPLIES
Two different Powertrain Control Module (PCM) five volt supply circuits are used; primary and
secondary.
Ignition Circuit Sense
IGNITION CIRCUIT SENSE
This circuit ties the ignition switch to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). Battery voltage is
supplied to the PCM through the ignition switch when the ignition is in the Run or Start position.
This is referred to as the "ignition sense" circuit and is used to "wake up" the PCM.
Power Grounds
POWER GROUNDS
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) has 2 main grounds. Both of these grounds are referred to
as power grounds. All of the high-current, noisy, electrical devices are connected to these grounds
as well as all of the sensor returns. The sensor return comes into the sensor return circuit, passes
through noise suppression, and is then connected to the power ground.
The power ground is used to control ground circuits for the following PCM loads:
- Generator field winding
- Fuel injectors
- Ignition coil(s)
- Certain relays/solenoids
- Certain sensors
Sensor Return
SENSOR RETURN
The Sensor Return circuits are internal to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).

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

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

Engine Control Module: Testing and Inspection SKREEM Programming
SKREEM PROGRAMMING
When a Powertrain Control Module (PCM) for a gasoline engine, or an Engine Control Module
(ECM) for a diesel engine and the Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM) (also known as
the Wireless Control Module/WCM) on vehicles equipped with the Sentry Key Immobilizer System
(SKIS) are replaced at the same time, perform the following steps in order:
1. Program the new PCM/ECM.
2. Program the new SKREEM/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/ECM or SKREEM/WCM is replaced, it is necessary to program the Secret
Key into the new module using a diagnostic scan tool. Follow the programming steps outlined in
the diagnostic scan tool for PCM REPLACED, ECM REPLACED, WCM REPLACED, or
GATEWAY REPLACED under MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS for the WIRELESS CONTROL
MODULE/WCM menu item as appropriate.
NOTE: Be certain to enter the correct country code for the SKREEM/WCM. If the incorrect country
code is programmed into the SKREEM, it cannot be changed and the SKREEM must be replaced.
NOTE: In addition, the SKREEM/WCM must be configured for certain optional equipment in the
vehicle, including Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM), Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) and Remote Start.
Follow the programming steps outlined in the diagnostic scan tool under MISCELLANEOUS
FUNCTIONS for the WCM/WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE menu item as appropriate.
NOTE: A replacement SKREEM/WCM is supplied with TPM enabled by default; therefore, if the
vehicle is not equipped with TPM, the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) will incorrectly
learn that the vehicle has TPM after the replacement SKREEM is installed. The TPM indicator in
the EMIC will illuminate to show a TPM fault condition after TPM has been disabled in the
SKREEM. The EMIC must unlearn TPM to correct this false TPM indication. Follow the
programming steps outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for CLEAR LEARNED FEATURES under
MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS for the INSTRUMENT CLUSTER 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 three attempts are made to enter secure access mode using an
incorrect PIN, secure access mode will be locked out for one hour. To exit this lockout mode, turn
the ignition to the RUN position for one hour then enter the correct PIN. Be certain that all
accessories are turned OFF. Also monitor the battery state and connect a battery charger if
necessary.
PROGRAMMING IGNITION KEYS TO THE SKREEM
Each ignition key transponder also has a unique ID code that is assigned at the time the key is
manufactured. When a key is programmed into the SKREEM/WCM, the transponder ID code is
learned by the module and the transponder acquires the unique Secret Key ID code from the
SKREEM/WCM. To program ignition keys into the SKREEM/WCM, follow the programming steps
outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for PROGRAM IGNITION KEYS OR KEY FOBS under
MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS for the WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE/WCM menu item.
NOTE: A maximum of eight keys can be learned to each SKREEM. Once a key is learned to a
SKREEM, that key has acquired the Secret Key for that SKREEM and cannot be transferred to any
other SKREEM or vehicle.
If ignition key programming is unsuccessful, the scan tool will display one of the following error
messages:
- PROGRAMMING NOT ATTEMPTED - The scan tool attempts to read the programmed key status
and there are no keys programmed into SKREEM memory.
- PROGRAMMING KEY FAILED (POSSIBLE USED KEY FROM WRONG VEHICLE) - SKREEM is
unable to program an ignition key transponder due to one of the following:
- The ignition key transponder is ineffective.
- The ignition key transponder is or has been already programmed to another vehicle.
- 8 KEYS ALREADY LEARNED, PROGRAMMING NOT DONE - The SKREEM transponder ID
memory is full.
- LEARNED KEY IN IGNITION - The ID for the ignition key transponder currently in the ignition lock
cylinder is already programmed into

Idle Speed/Throttle Actuator - Electronic: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
A separate IAC motor is not used with the 5.7L V-8 engine.
The IAC stepper motor is mounted to the throttle body, and regulates the amount of air bypassing
the control of the throttle plate. As engine loads and ambient temperatures change, engine rpm
changes. A pintle on the IAC stepper motor protrudes into a passage in the throttle body,
controlling air flow through the passage. The IAC is controlled by the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) to maintain the target engine idle speed.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Idle Speed/Throttle Actuator Electronic > Component Information > Description and Operation > Description > Page 3811
Idle Speed/Throttle Actuator - Electronic: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
A separate IAC motor is not used with the 5.7L V-8 engine.
At idle, engine speed can be increased by retracting the IAC motor pintle and allowing more air to
pass through the port, or it can be decreased by restricting the passage with the pintle and
diminishing the amount of air bypassing the throttle plate.
The IAC is called a stepper motor because it is moved (rotated) in steps, or increments. Opening
the IAC opens an air passage around the throttle blade which increases RPM.
The PCM uses the IAC motor to control idle speed (along with timing) and to reach a desired MAP
during decel (keep engine from stalling).
The IAC motor has 4 wires with 4 circuits. Two of the wires are for 12 volts and ground to supply
electrical current to the motor windings to operate the stepper motor in one direction. The other 2
wires are also for 12 volts and ground to supply electrical current to operate the stepper motor in
the opposite direction.
To make the IAC go in the opposite direction, the PCM just reverses polarity on both windings. If
only 1 wire is open, the IAC can only be moved 1 step (increment) in either direction. To keep the
IAC motor in position when no movement is needed, the PCM will energize both windings at the
same time. This locks the IAC motor in place.
In the IAC motor system, the PCM will count every step that the motor is moved. This allows the
PCM to determine the motor pintle position. If the memory is cleared, the PCM no longer knows the
position of the pintle. So at the first key ON, the PCM drives the IAC motor closed, regardless of
where it was before. This zeros the counter. From this point the PCM will back out the IAC motor
and keep track of its position again.
When engine rpm is above idle speed, the IAC is used for the following:
- Off-idle dashpot (throttle blade will close quickly but idle speed will not stop quickly)
- Deceleration air flow control
- A/C compressor load control (also opens the passage slightly before the compressor is engaged
so that the engine rpm does not dip down when the compressor engages)
- Power steering load control
The PCM can control polarity of the circuit to control direction of the stepper motor.
IAC Stepper Motor Program: The PCM is also equipped with a memory program that records the
number of steps the IAC stepper motor most recently advanced to during a certain set of
parameters. For example: The PCM was attempting to maintain a 1000 rpm target during a cold
start-up cycle. The last recorded number of steps for that may have been 125. That value would be
recorded in the memory cell so that the next time the PCM recognizes the identical conditions, the
PCM recalls that 125 steps were required to maintain the target. This program allows for greater
customer satisfaction due to greater control of engine idle.
Another function of the memory program, which occurs when the power steering switch (if
equipped), or the A/C request circuit, requires that the IAC stepper motor control engine rpm, is the
recording of the last targeted steps into the memory cell. The PCM can anticipate A/C compressor
loads. This is accomplished by delaying compressor operation for approximately 0.5 seconds until
the PCM moves the IAC stepper motor to the recorded steps that were loaded into the memory
cell. Using this program helps eliminate idle-quality changes as loads change. Finally, the PCM
incorporates a "No-Load" engine speed limiter of approximately 1800 - 2000 rpm, when it
recognizes that the TPS is indicating an idle signal and IAC motor cannot maintain engine idle.
A (factory adjusted) set screw is used to mechanically limit the position of the throttle body throttle
plate. Never attempt to adjust the engine idle speed using this screw. All idle speed functions are
controlled by the IAC motor through the PCM.

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 Group 30, so it is shown there
complete. It can, however, be shown partially in another group if it contains some associated
wiring.
Splice diagrams show the entire splice and provide references to other sections the splices serves.
Spice Information contains splice diagrams that are not shown in their entirety somewhere else in
the wiring diagrams.
Connector Pin-Outs 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 Durango 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L VIN 2 (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Information Bus > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3835
- 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
Two knock sensors are bolted into the cylinder block under the intake manifold 3.7L & 4.7L.
Two knock sensors are also used with the 5.7L. These are bolted into each side of the cylinder
block (outside) under the exhaust manifold.
Dodge Durango 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L VIN 2 (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Knock Sensor > Component
Information > Description and Operation > Description > Page 3860
Knock Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
Two knock sensors are used; one for each cylinder bank. When the knock sensor detects a knock
in one of the cylinders on the corresponding bank, it sends an input signal to the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM). In response, the PCM retards ignition timing for all cylinders by a scheduled
amount.
Knock sensors contain a piezoelectric 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 the knock sensor voltage signal as an input. If the signal rises above a
predetermined level, the PCM will store that value in memory and retard ignition timing to reduce
engine knock. If the knock sensor voltage exceeds a preset value, the PCM retards ignition timing
for all cylinders. It is not a selective cylinder retard.
The PCM ignores knock sensor input during engine idle conditions. Once the engine speed
exceeds a specified value, knock retard is allowed.
Knock retard uses its own short term and long term memory program.
Long term memory stores previous detonation information in its battery-backed RAM. The
maximum authority that long term memory has over timing retard can be calibrated.
Short term memory is allowed to retard timing up to a preset amount under all operating conditions
(as long as rpm is above the minimum rpm) except at Wide Open Throttle (WOT). The PCM, using
short term memory, can respond quickly to retard timing when engine knock is detected. Short term
memory is lost any time the ignition key is turned off.
NOTE: Over or under tightening the sensor mounting bolts will affect knock sensor performance,
possibly causing improper spark control. Always use the specified torque when installing the knock
sensors.

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

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

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

Manifold Pressure/Vacuum Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The MAP sensor is used as an input to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). It contains a silicon
based sensing unit to provide data on the manifold vacuum that draws the air/fuel mixture into the
combustion chamber. The PCM requires this information to determine injector pulse width and
spark advance. When manifold absolute pressure (MAP) equals Barometric pressure, the pulse
width will be at maximum.
A 5 volt reference is supplied from the PCM and returns a voltage signal to the PCM that reflects
manifold pressure. The zero pressure reading is 0.5V and full scale is 4.5V. For a pressure swing
of 0-15 psi, the voltage changes 4.0V. To operate the sensor, it is supplied a regulated 4.8 to 5.1
volts. Ground is provided through the low-noise, sensor return circuit at the PCM.
The MAP sensor input is the number one contributor to fuel injector pulse width. The most
important function of the MAP sensor is to determine barometric pressure. The PCM needs to
know if the vehicle is at sea level or at a higher altitude, because the air density changes with
altitude. It will also help to correct for varying barometric pressure. Barometric pressure and altitude
have a direct inverse correlation; as altitude goes up, barometric goes down. At key-on, the PCM
powers up and looks at MAP voltage, and based upon the voltage it sees, it knows the current
barometric pressure (relative to altitude). Once the engine starts, the PCM looks at the voltage
again, continuously every 12 milliseconds, and compares the current voltage to what it was at
key-on. The difference between current voltage and what it was at key-on, is manifold vacuum.
During key-on (engine not running) the sensor reads (updates) barometric pressure. A normal
range can be obtained by monitoring a known good sensor.
As the altitude increases, the air becomes thinner (less oxygen). If a vehicle is started and driven to
a very different altitude than where it was at key-on, the barometric pressure needs to be updated.
Any time the PCM sees Wide Open Throttle (WOT), based upon Throttle Position Sensor (TPS)
angle and RPM, it will update barometric pressure in the MAP memory cell. With periodic updates,
the PCM can make its calculations more effectively.
The PCM uses the MAP sensor input to aid in calculating the following:
- Manifold pressure
- Barometric pressure
- Engine load
- Injector pulse-width
- Spark-advance programs
- Shift-point strategies (certain automatic transmissions only)
- Idle speed
- Decel fuel shutoff
The MAP sensor signal is provided from a single piezoresistive element located in the center of a
diaphragm. The element and diaphragm are both made of silicone. As manifold pressure changes,
the diaphragm moves causing the element to deflect, which stresses the silicone. When silicone is
exposed to stress, its resistance changes. As manifold vacuum increases, the MAP sensor input
voltage decreases proportionally. The sensor also contains electronics that condition the signal and
provide temperature compensation.
The PCM recognizes a decrease in manifold pressure by monitoring a decrease in voltage from the
reading stored in the barometric pressure memory cell. The MAP sensor is a linear sensor;
meaning as pressure changes, voltage changes proportionately. The range of voltage output from
the sensor is usually between 4.6 volts at sea level to as low as 0.3 volts at 26 in. of Hg. Barometric
pressure is the pressure exerted by the atmosphere upon an object. At sea level on a standard
day, no storm, barometric pressure is approximately 29.92 in Hg. For every 100 feet of altitude,
barometric pressure drops 0.10 in. Hg. If a storm goes through, it can change barometric pressure
from what should be present for that altitude. You should know what the average pressure and
corresponding barometric pressure is for your area.

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 Group 30, so it is shown there
complete. It can, however, be shown partially in another group if it contains some associated
wiring.
Splice diagrams show the entire splice and provide references to other sections the splices serves.
Spice Information contains splice diagrams that are not shown in their entirety somewhere else in
the wiring diagrams.
Connector Pin-Outs each connector and the circuits involved with that connector. The connectors
are identified using the name/number on the diagram pages.

Body 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.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Relays and Modules Computers and Control Systems > Body Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 3978
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.
Testing For A Voltage Drop

STANDARD PROCEDURE - TESTING FOR A VOLTAGE DROP
1. Connect the positive lead of the voltmeter to the side of the circuit closest to the battery.
2. Connect the other lead of the voltmeter to the other side of the switch, component or circuit.
3. Operate the item.
4. The voltmeter will show the difference in voltage between the two points.
Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
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 > Computers and Control Systems > Relays and Modules Computers and Control Systems > Body Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 3980
- 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)),

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.

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 Group 30, so it is shown there
complete. It can, however, be shown partially in another group if it contains some associated
wiring.
Splice diagrams show the entire splice and provide references to other sections the splices serves.
Spice Information contains splice diagrams that are not shown in their entirety somewhere else in
the wiring diagrams.

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.

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 > Computers and Control Systems > Relays and Modules Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 4075
- 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
Description
DESCRIPTION
The PCM (2) is attached to the right-front inner fender (1) located in the engine compartment.
Modes Of Operation
MODES OF OPERATION
As input signals to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) change, the PCM adjusts its response to
the output devices. The PCM will operate in two different modes: Open Loop and Closed Loop.
During Open Loop modes, the PCM receives input signals and responds only according to preset
PCM programming. Input from the oxygen (O2S) sensors is not monitored during Open Loop
modes.
During Closed Loop modes, the PCM will monitor the oxygen (O2S) sensors input. This input
indicates to the PCM whether or not the calculated injector pulse width results in the ideal air-fuel
ratio. This ratio is 14.7 parts air-to-1 part fuel. By monitoring the exhaust oxygen content through
the O2S sensor, the PCM can fine tune the injector pulse width. This is done to achieve optimum
fuel economy combined with low emission engine performance.
The fuel injection system has the following modes of operation:
- Ignition switch ON
- Engine start-up (crank)
- Engine warm-up
- Idle
- Cruise
- Acceleration
- Deceleration
- Wide open throttle (WOT)
- Ignition switch OFF
The ignition switch On, engine start-up (crank), engine warm-up, acceleration, deceleration and
wide open throttle modes are Open Loop modes. The idle and cruise modes, (with the engine at
operating temperature) are Closed Loop modes.
IGNITION SWITCH (KEY-ON) MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. When the fuel system is activated by the ignition switch, the following
actions occur:
- The PCM pre-positions the idle air control (IAC) motor.
- The PCM determines atmospheric air pressure from the MAP sensor input to determine basic fuel
strategy.
- The PCM monitors the engine coolant temperature sensor input. The PCM modifies fuel strategy
based on this input.

- Intake manifold air temperature sensor input is monitored.
- Throttle position sensor (TPS) is monitored.
- The auto shutdown (ASD) relay is energized by the PCM for approximately three seconds.
- The fuel pump is energized through the fuel pump relay by the PCM. The fuel pump will operate
for approximately three seconds unless the engine is operating or the starter motor is engaged.
- The O2S sensor heater element is energized via the ASD relay. The O2S sensor input is not used
by the PCM to calibrate air-fuel ratio during this mode of operation.
ENGINE START-UP MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. The following actions occur when the starter motor is engaged.
The PCM receives inputs from:
- Battery voltage
- Engine coolant temperature sensor
- Crankshaft position sensor
- Intake manifold air temperature sensor
- Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
- Throttle position sensor (TPS)
- Starter motor relay
- Camshaft position sensor signal
The PCM monitors the crankshaft position sensor. If the PCM does not receive a crankshaft
position sensor signal within 3 seconds of cranking the engine, it will shut down the fuel injection
system.
The fuel pump is activated by the PCM through the fuel pump relay.
Voltage is applied to the fuel injectors with the ASD relay via the PCM. The PCM will then control
the injection sequence and injector pulse width by turning the ground circuit to each individual
injector on and off.
The PCM determines the proper ignition timing according to input received from the crankshaft
position sensor.
ENGINE WARM-UP MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. During engine warm-up, the PCM receives inputs from:
- Battery voltage
- Crankshaft position sensor
- Engine coolant temperature sensor
- Intake manifold air temperature sensor
- Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
- Throttle position sensor (TPS)
- Camshaft position sensor signal
- Park/neutral switch (gear indicator signal-auto. trans. only)
- Air conditioning select signal (if equipped)
- Air conditioning request signal (if equipped)
Based on these inputs the following occurs:
- Voltage is applied to the fuel injectors with the ASD relay via the PCM. The PCM will then control
the injection sequence and injector pulse width by turning the ground circuit to each individual
injector on and off.
- The PCM adjusts engine idle speed through the idle air control (IAC) motor and adjusts ignition
timing.
- The PCM operates the A/C compressor clutch through the clutch relay. This is done if A/C has
been selected by the vehicle operator and requested by the A/C thermostat.
- When engine has reached operating temperature, the PCM will begin monitoring O2S sensor
input. The system will then leave the warm-up mode and go into closed loop operation.
IDLE MODE
When the engine is at operating temperature, this is a Closed Loop mode. At idle speed, the PCM
receives inputs from:
- Air conditioning select signal (if equipped)
- Air conditioning request signal (if equipped)
- Battery voltage
- Crankshaft position sensor

injection sequence and injector pulse width by turning the ground circuit to each individual injector
on and off.
- The PCM monitors the O2S sensor input and adjusts air-fuel ratio by varying injector pulse width.
It also adjusts engine idle speed through the idle air control (IAC) motor.
- The PCM adjusts ignition timing by increasing and decreasing spark advance.
- The PCM operates the A/C compressor clutch through the clutch relay. This happens if A/C has
been selected by the vehicle operator and requested by the A/C thermostat.
CRUISE MODE

- Intake manifold air temperature sensor
- Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
- Throttle position sensor (TPS)
- Camshaft position sensor signal
- Park/neutral switch (gear indicator signal-auto. trans. only)
- Oxygen (O2S) sensors
Based on these inputs, the following occurs:
- Voltage is applied to the fuel injectors with the ASD relay via the PCM. The PCM will then adjust
the injector pulse width by turning the ground circuit to each individual injector on and off.
- The PCM monitors the O2S sensor input and adjusts air-fuel ratio. It also adjusts engine idle
speed through the idle air control (IAC) motor.
- The PCM adjusts ignition timing by turning the ground path to the coil on and off.
- The PCM operates the A/C compressor clutch through the clutch relay. This happens if A/C has
been selected by the vehicle operator and requested by the A/C thermostat.
ACCELERATION MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. The PCM recognizes an abrupt increase in throttle position or MAP
pressure as a demand for increased engine output and vehicle acceleration. The PCM increases
injector pulse width in response to increased throttle opening.
DECELERATION MODE
When the engine is at operating temperature, this is an Open Loop mode. During hard
deceleration, the PCM receives the following inputs.
- Air conditioning select signal (if equipped)
- Air conditioning request signal (if equipped)
- Battery voltage
- Engine coolant temperature sensor
- Crankshaft position sensor
- Intake manifold air temperature sensor
- Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
- Throttle position sensor (TPS)
- Camshaft position sensor signal
- Park/neutral switch (gear indicator signal-auto. trans. only)
- Vehicle speed sensor
If the vehicle is under hard deceleration with the proper rpm and closed throttle conditions, the
PCM will ignore the oxygen sensor input signal. The
Dodge Durango 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L VIN 2 (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Relays and Modules Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Description and Operation >
Description > Page 4092
PCM will enter a fuel cut-off strategy in which it will not supply a ground to the injectors. If a hard
deceleration does not exist, the PCM will determine the proper injector pulse width and continue
injection.
Based on the above inputs, the PCM will adjust engine idle speed through the idle air control (IAC)
motor.
The PCM adjusts ignition timing by turning the ground path to the coil on and off.
WIDE OPEN THROTTLE MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. During wide open throttle operation, the PCM receives the following
inputs.
- Battery voltage
- Crankshaft position sensor
- Engine coolant temperature sensor
- Intake manifold air temperature sensor
- Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
- Throttle position sensor (TPS)
- Camshaft position sensor signal
During wide open throttle conditions, the following occurs:
- Voltage is applied to the fuel injectors with the ASD relay via the PCM. The PCM will then control
the injection sequence and injector pulse width by turning the ground circuit to each individual
injector on and off. The PCM ignores the oxygen sensor input signal and provides a predetermined
amount of additional fuel. This is done by adjusting injector pulse width.
- The PCM adjusts ignition timing by turning the ground path to the coil on and off.
IGNITION SWITCH OFF MODE
When ignition switch is turned to OFF position, the PCM stops operating the injectors, ignition coil,
ASD relay and fuel pump relay.
5 Volt Supplies
5 VOLT SUPPLIES
Two different Powertrain Control Module (PCM) five volt supply circuits are used; primary and
secondary.
Ignition Circuit Sense
IGNITION CIRCUIT SENSE
This circuit ties the ignition switch to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). Battery voltage is
supplied to the PCM through the ignition switch when the ignition is in the Run or Start position.
This is referred to as the "ignition sense" circuit and is used to "wake up" the PCM.
Power Grounds
POWER GROUNDS
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) has 2 main grounds. Both of these grounds are referred to
as power grounds. All of the high-current, noisy, electrical devices are connected to these grounds
as well as all of the sensor returns. The sensor return comes into the sensor return circuit, passes
through noise suppression, and is then connected to the power ground.
The power ground is used to control ground circuits for the following PCM loads:
- Generator field winding
- Fuel injectors
- Ignition coil(s)
- Certain relays/solenoids
- Certain sensors

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

Programming
Engine Control Module: Testing and Inspection SKREEM Programming
SKREEM PROGRAMMING
When a Powertrain Control Module (PCM) for a gasoline engine, or an Engine Control Module
(ECM) for a diesel engine and the Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM) (also known as
the Wireless Control Module/WCM) on vehicles equipped with the Sentry Key Immobilizer System
(SKIS) are replaced at the same time, perform the following steps in order:
1. Program the new PCM/ECM.
2. Program the new SKREEM/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/ECM or SKREEM/WCM is replaced, it is necessary to program the Secret
Key into the new module using a diagnostic scan tool. Follow the programming steps outlined in
the diagnostic scan tool for PCM REPLACED, ECM REPLACED, WCM REPLACED, or
GATEWAY REPLACED under MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS for the WIRELESS CONTROL
MODULE/WCM menu item as appropriate.
NOTE: Be certain to enter the correct country code for the SKREEM/WCM. If the incorrect country
code is programmed into the SKREEM, it cannot be changed and the SKREEM must be replaced.
NOTE: In addition, the SKREEM/WCM must be configured for certain optional equipment in the
vehicle, including Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM), Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) and Remote Start.
Follow the programming steps outlined in the diagnostic scan tool under MISCELLANEOUS
FUNCTIONS for the WCM/WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE menu item as appropriate.
NOTE: A replacement SKREEM/WCM is supplied with TPM enabled by default; therefore, if the
vehicle is not equipped with TPM, the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) will incorrectly
learn that the vehicle has TPM after the replacement SKREEM is installed. The TPM indicator in
the EMIC will illuminate to show a TPM fault condition after TPM has been disabled in the
SKREEM. The EMIC must unlearn TPM to correct this false TPM indication. Follow the
programming steps outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for CLEAR LEARNED FEATURES under
MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS for the INSTRUMENT CLUSTER 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 three attempts are made to enter secure access mode using an
incorrect PIN, secure access mode will be locked out for one hour. To exit this lockout mode, turn
the ignition to the RUN position for one hour then enter the correct PIN. Be certain that all
accessories are turned OFF. Also monitor the battery state and connect a battery charger if
necessary.
PROGRAMMING IGNITION KEYS TO THE SKREEM
Each ignition key transponder also has a unique ID code that is assigned at the time the key is
manufactured. When a key is programmed into the SKREEM/WCM, the transponder ID code is
learned by the module and the transponder acquires the unique Secret Key ID code from the
SKREEM/WCM. To program ignition keys into the SKREEM/WCM, follow the programming steps
outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for PROGRAM IGNITION KEYS OR KEY FOBS under
MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS for the WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE/WCM menu item.
NOTE: A maximum of eight keys can be learned to each SKREEM. Once a key is learned to a
SKREEM, that key has acquired the Secret Key for that SKREEM and cannot be transferred to any
other SKREEM or vehicle.
If ignition key programming is unsuccessful, the scan tool will display one of the following error
messages:
- PROGRAMMING NOT ATTEMPTED - The scan tool attempts to read the programmed key status
and there are no keys programmed into SKREEM memory.
- PROGRAMMING KEY FAILED (POSSIBLE USED KEY FROM WRONG VEHICLE) - SKREEM is
unable to program an ignition key transponder due to one of the following:
- The ignition key transponder is ineffective.
- The ignition key transponder is or has been already programmed to another vehicle.
- 8 KEYS ALREADY LEARNED, PROGRAMMING NOT DONE - The SKREEM transponder ID
memory is full.
- LEARNED KEY IN IGNITION - The ID for the ignition key transponder currently in the ignition lock
cylinder is already programmed into

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

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

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

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

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

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
Two knock sensors are used; one for each cylinder bank. When the knock sensor detects a knock
in one of the cylinders on the corresponding bank, it sends an input signal to the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM). In response, the PCM retards ignition timing for all cylinders by a scheduled
amount.
Knock sensors contain a piezoelectric 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 the knock sensor voltage signal as an input. If the signal rises above a
predetermined level, the PCM will store that value in memory and retard ignition timing to reduce
engine knock. If the knock sensor voltage exceeds a preset value, the PCM retards ignition timing
for all cylinders. It is not a selective cylinder retard.
The PCM ignores knock sensor input during engine idle conditions. Once the engine speed
exceeds a specified value, knock retard is allowed.
Knock retard uses its own short term and long term memory program.
Long term memory stores previous detonation information in its battery-backed RAM. The
maximum authority that long term memory has over timing retard can be calibrated.
Short term memory is allowed to retard timing up to a preset amount under all operating conditions
(as long as rpm is above the minimum rpm) except at Wide Open Throttle (WOT). The PCM, using
short term memory, can respond quickly to retard timing when engine knock is detected. Short term
memory is lost any time the ignition key is turned off.
NOTE: Over or under tightening the sensor mounting bolts will affect knock sensor performance,
possibly causing improper spark control. Always use the specified torque when installing the knock
sensors.

Manifold Pressure/Vacuum Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The MAP sensor is used as an input to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). It contains a silicon
based sensing unit to provide data on the manifold vacuum that draws the air/fuel mixture into the
combustion chamber. The PCM requires this information to determine injector pulse width and
spark advance. When manifold absolute pressure (MAP) equals Barometric pressure, the pulse
width will be at maximum.
A 5 volt reference is supplied from the PCM and returns a voltage signal to the PCM that reflects
manifold pressure. The zero pressure reading is 0.5V and full scale is 4.5V. For a pressure swing
of 0-15 psi, the voltage changes 4.0V. To operate the sensor, it is supplied a regulated 4.8 to 5.1
volts. Ground is provided through the low-noise, sensor return circuit at the PCM.
The MAP sensor input is the number one contributor to fuel injector pulse width. The most
important function of the MAP sensor is to determine barometric pressure. The PCM needs to
know if the vehicle is at sea level or at a higher altitude, because the air density changes with
altitude. It will also help to correct for varying barometric pressure. Barometric pressure and altitude
have a direct inverse correlation; as altitude goes up, barometric goes down. At key-on, the PCM
powers up and looks at MAP voltage, and based upon the voltage it sees, it knows the current
barometric pressure (relative to altitude). Once the engine starts, the PCM looks at the voltage
again, continuously every 12 milliseconds, and compares the current voltage to what it was at
key-on. The difference between current voltage and what it was at key-on, is manifold vacuum.
During key-on (engine not running) the sensor reads (updates) barometric pressure. A normal
range can be obtained by monitoring a known good sensor.
As the altitude increases, the air becomes thinner (less oxygen). If a vehicle is started and driven to
a very different altitude than where it was at key-on, the barometric pressure needs to be updated.
Any time the PCM sees Wide Open Throttle (WOT), based upon Throttle Position Sensor (TPS)
angle and RPM, it will update barometric pressure in the MAP memory cell. With periodic updates,
the PCM can make its calculations more effectively.
The PCM uses the MAP sensor input to aid in calculating the following:
- Manifold pressure
- Barometric pressure
- Engine load
- Injector pulse-width
- Spark-advance programs
- Shift-point strategies (certain automatic transmissions only)
- Idle speed
- Decel fuel shutoff
The MAP sensor signal is provided from a single piezoresistive element located in the center of a
diaphragm. The element and diaphragm are both made of silicone. As manifold pressure changes,
the diaphragm moves causing the element to deflect, which stresses the silicone. When silicone is
exposed to stress, its resistance changes. As manifold vacuum increases, the MAP sensor input
voltage decreases proportionally. The sensor also contains electronics that condition the signal and
provide temperature compensation.
The PCM recognizes a decrease in manifold pressure by monitoring a decrease in voltage from the
reading stored in the barometric pressure memory cell. The MAP sensor is a linear sensor;
meaning as pressure changes, voltage changes proportionately. The range of voltage output from
the sensor is usually between 4.6 volts at sea level to as low as 0.3 volts at 26 in. of Hg. Barometric
pressure is the pressure exerted by the atmosphere upon an object. At sea level on a standard
day, no storm, barometric pressure is approximately 29.92 in Hg. For every 100 feet of altitude,
barometric pressure drops 0.10 in. Hg. If a storm goes through, it can change barometric pressure
from what should be present for that altitude. You should know what the average pressure and
corresponding barometric pressure is for your area.

Throttle Position Sensor: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The 3-wire Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) is mounted on the throttle body and is connected to the
throttle blade shaft.
The 5.7L V-8 engine does not use a separate TPS on the throttle body. If it is determined that TPS
signal is bad, due to the sensor itself, the throttle body will need to be replaced.

Throttle Position Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The 5.7L V-8 engine does not use a separate Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) on the throttle body.
The 3-wire TPS provides the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) with an input signal (voltage) that
represents the throttle blade position of the throttle body. The sensor is connected to the throttle
blade shaft. As the position of the throttle blade changes, the output voltage of the TPS changes.
The PCM supplies approximately 5 volts to the TPS. The TPS output voltage (input signal to the
PCM) represents the throttle blade position. The PCM receives an input signal voltage from the
TPS. This will vary in an approximate range of from 0.26 volts at minimum throttle opening (idle), to
4.49 volts at wide open throttle. Along with inputs from other sensors, the PCM uses the TPS input
to determine current engine operating conditions. In response to engine operating conditions, the
PCM will adjust fuel injector pulse width and ignition timing.
The PCM needs to identify the actions and position of the throttle blade at all times. This
information is needed to assist in performing the following calculations:
- Ignition timing advance
- Fuel injection pulse-width
- Idle (learned value or minimum TPS)
- Off-idle (0.06 volt)
- Wide Open Throttle (WOT) open loop (2.608 volts above learned idle voltage)
- Deceleration fuel lean out
- Fuel cutoff during cranking at WOT (2.608 volts above learned idle voltage)
- A/C WOT cutoff (certain automatic transmissions only).

Transmission Position Switch/Sensor: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) is part of the solenoid module, which is mounted to the top
of the valve body inside the transmission.
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) has five switch contact pins that:
- Determine shift lever position
- Supply ground to the Starter Relay in Park and Neutral only.
- Supply +12 V to the backup lamps in Reverse only.
The TRS also has an integrated temperature sensor (thermistor) that communicates transmission
temperature to the TCM and PCM.

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

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.

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.

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.

Instructions > Page 4344
- 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.

Throttle Position Sensor: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The 3-wire Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) is mounted on the throttle body and is connected to the
throttle blade shaft.
The 5.7L V-8 engine does not use a separate TPS on the throttle body. If it is determined that TPS
signal is bad, due to the sensor itself, the throttle body will need to be replaced.

Throttle Position Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The 5.7L V-8 engine does not use a separate Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) on the throttle body.
The 3-wire TPS provides the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) with an input signal (voltage) that
represents the throttle blade position of the throttle body. The sensor is connected to the throttle
blade shaft. As the position of the throttle blade changes, the output voltage of the TPS changes.
The PCM supplies approximately 5 volts to the TPS. The TPS output voltage (input signal to the
PCM) represents the throttle blade position. The PCM receives an input signal voltage from the
TPS. This will vary in an approximate range of from 0.26 volts at minimum throttle opening (idle), to
4.49 volts at wide open throttle. Along with inputs from other sensors, the PCM uses the TPS input
to determine current engine operating conditions. In response to engine operating conditions, the
PCM will adjust fuel injector pulse width and ignition timing.
The PCM needs to identify the actions and position of the throttle blade at all times. This
information is needed to assist in performing the following calculations:
- Ignition timing advance
- Fuel injection pulse-width
- Idle (learned value or minimum TPS)
- Off-idle (0.06 volt)
- Wide Open Throttle (WOT) open loop (2.608 volts above learned idle voltage)
- Deceleration fuel lean out
- Fuel cutoff during cranking at WOT (2.608 volts above learned idle voltage)
- A/C WOT cutoff (certain automatic transmissions only).

Transmission Position Switch/Sensor: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) is part of the solenoid module, which is mounted to the top
of the valve body inside the transmission.
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) has five switch contact pins that:
- Determine shift lever position
- Supply ground to the Starter Relay in Park and Neutral only.
- Supply +12 V to the backup lamps in Reverse only.
The TRS also has an integrated temperature sensor (thermistor) that communicates transmission
temperature to the TCM and PCM.

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

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.

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 Group 30, so it is shown there
complete. It can, however, be shown partially in another group if it contains some associated
wiring.
Splice diagrams show the entire splice and provide references to other sections the splices serves.
Spice Information contains splice diagrams that are not shown in their entirety somewhere else in
the wiring diagrams.
Connector Pin-Outs 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 Durango 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L VIN 2 (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Vehicle Speed Sensor >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4409
- 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:
This bulletin applies to all vehicles equipped with a gasoline engine.
DISCUSSION:
Customer may report that the vehicle is hard to fill with fuel or that the fuel pump nozzle shuts off
repeatedly while trying to fill vehicle.
This customer complaint can occur due to a number of different causes. The fuel tank is the least
likely cause of this condition. The following Diagnostic procedure can be used to diagnose the
issues.
DIAGNOSIS:
1. Is the vehicle a LX/LE/LC/L2?
a. Yes >> proceed to Step # 2
b. No >> proceed to Step # 4
2. Idle the vehicle 60 to 90 seconds upon stopping.
3. Does tank refill properly?
a. No >> proceed to Step # 4
b. Yes >> Inform the customer to idle the vehicle for 60 to 90 seconds upon stopping if vehicle was
driven aggressively. This is due to the fact that
on the LX/LE/LC/L2 the fuel tank is a unique saddle tank design and needs 30 to 60 seconds while
the engine is running to level the fuel in both half's of the fuel tank. Allowing the vehicle to idle for
this amount of time will let the fuel pump transfer fuel to the left side tank, opening the control valve
and allowing normal fuel filling.
4. Disconnect the vapor recirculation tube at the fuel tank.
5. Attempt to refill fuel tank.
6. Does tank refill properly?
a. Yes >> Proceed to Step # 7
b. No >> Proceed to Step # 11.
7. Reconnect the vapor recirculation tube at the fuel tank.
8. Disconnect the other end of the vapor recirculation tube at the fuel filler tube.
9. Attempt to refill fuel tank.
10. Does tank refill properly?
a. Yes >> Replace fuel filler tube.
b. No >> Replace the vapor recirculation tube.

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

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.

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 0.5 inches of water, the large check valve unseats and pressure vents to the fresh
air filter.
Conversely, when the system cools, and the resulting vacuum lifts the small check valve from its
seat and allows fresh air to enter the system and relieves the vacuum condition. When a calibrated
amount of vacuum is achieved in the evaporative system, the diaphragm is pulled inward, pushing
on the spring and closing the contacts.
The ESIM conducts test on the evaporative system as follows: An engine off, non-intrusive test for
small leaks and an engine running, intrusive test for medium/large leaks.
The ESIM weights seal the evap. system during engine off conditions. If the evap. system is
sealed, it will be pulled into a vacuum, either due to the cool down from operating temperature or
diurnal ambient temperature cycling. When the vacuum in the system exceeds about 1 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 50° F (10° C) of
ambient to indicate a cold start.
- The fuel level must be between 12% and 88%.
- The engine must be in closed loop.
- Manifold vacuum must be greater than a minimum specified value.
- Ambient temperature must be between 39° F and 98° F (4° C and 37° C) and the elevation level
must be below 8500 feet (2591 meters).
The test is accomplished by the 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 won't 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 GPEC1 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.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Emission Control Systems > Evaporative Emissions System > Leak
Detection Pump, Evaporative System > Component Information > Description and Operation > Page 4526
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

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

Refueling Vapor Recovery System: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The ORVR (On-Board Refueling Vapor Recovery) system is used to remove excess fuel tank
vapors. This is done while the vehicle is being refueled.
Fuel flowing into the fuel filler tube (approx. 1 inch I.D.) creates an aspiration effect drawing air into
the fuel fill tube. During refueling, the fuel tank is vented to the EVAP canister to capture escaping
vapors. With air flowing into the filler tube, there are no fuel vapors escaping to the atmosphere.
Once the refueling vapors are captured by the EVAP canister, the vehicle's computer controlled
purge system draws vapor out of the canister for the engine to burn. The vapor flow is metered by
the purge solenoid so that there is no, or minimal impact on driveability or tailpipe emissions.
As fuel starts to flow through the fuel fill tube, it opens the normally closed check valve and enters
the fuel tank. Vapor or air is expelled from the tank through the control valve and on to the vapor
canister. Vapor is absorbed in the EVAP canister until vapor flow in the lines stops. This stoppage
occurs following fuel shut-off, or by having the fuel level in the tank rise high enough to close the
control valve. This control valve contains a float that rises to seal the large diameter vent path to
the EVAP canister. At this point in the refueling process, fuel tank pressure increases, the check
valve closes (preventing liquid fuel from spitting back at the operator), and fuel then rises up the
fuel filler tube to shut off the dispensing nozzle.

Positive Crankcase Ventilation Valve: Description and Operation Valve-PCV-3.7L
OPERATION
A typical enclosed crankcase ventilation system is shown in the graphic.
The PCV system operates by engine intake manifold vacuum. Filtered air is routed into the
crankcase through the air cleaner hose. The metered air, along with crankcase vapors, are drawn
through the PCV valve (4) and into a passage in the intake manifold. The PCV system manages
crankcase pressure and meters blow by gases to the intake system, reducing engine sludge
formation.
The PCV valve contains a spring loaded plunger. This plunger meters the amount of crankcase
vapors routed into the combustion chamber based on intake manifold vacuum.
When the engine is not operating or during an engine pop-back, the spring forces the plunger back
against the seat. This will prevent vapors from flowing through the valve.

During periods of high manifold vacuum, such as idle or cruising speeds, vacuum is sufficient to
completely compress spring. It will then pull the plunger to the top of the valve. In this position there
is minimal vapor flow through the valve.
During periods of moderate manifold vacuum, the plunger is only pulled part way back from inlet.
This results in maximum vapor flow through the valve.

Idle Speed: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
A separate IAC motor is not used with the 5.7L V-8 engine.
The IAC stepper motor is mounted to the throttle body, and regulates the amount of air bypassing
the control of the throttle plate. As engine loads and ambient temperatures change, engine rpm
changes. A pintle on the IAC stepper motor protrudes into a passage in the throttle body,
controlling air flow through the passage. The IAC is controlled by the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) to maintain the target engine idle speed.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Idle Speed > System Information
> Description and Operation > Description > Page 4582
Idle Speed: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
A separate IAC motor is not used with the 5.7L V-8 engine.
At idle, engine speed can be increased by retracting the IAC motor pintle and allowing more air to
pass through the port, or it can be decreased by restricting the passage with the pintle and
diminishing the amount of air bypassing the throttle plate.
The IAC is called a stepper motor because it is moved (rotated) in steps, or increments. Opening
the IAC opens an air passage around the throttle blade which increases RPM.
The PCM uses the IAC motor to control idle speed (along with timing) and to reach a desired MAP
during decel (keep engine from stalling).
The IAC motor has 4 wires with 4 circuits. Two of the wires are for 12 volts and ground to supply
electrical current to the motor windings to operate the stepper motor in one direction. The other 2
wires are also for 12 volts and ground to supply electrical current to operate the stepper motor in
the opposite direction.
To make the IAC go in the opposite direction, the PCM just reverses polarity on both windings. If
only 1 wire is open, the IAC can only be moved 1 step (increment) in either direction. To keep the
IAC motor in position when no movement is needed, the PCM will energize both windings at the
same time. This locks the IAC motor in place.
In the IAC motor system, the PCM will count every step that the motor is moved. This allows the
PCM to determine the motor pintle position. If the memory is cleared, the PCM no longer knows the
position of the pintle. So at the first key ON, the PCM drives the IAC motor closed, regardless of
where it was before. This zeros the counter. From this point the PCM will back out the IAC motor
and keep track of its position again.
When engine rpm is above idle speed, the IAC is used for the following:
- Off-idle dashpot (throttle blade will close quickly but idle speed will not stop quickly)
- Deceleration air flow control
- A/C compressor load control (also opens the passage slightly before the compressor is engaged
so that the engine rpm does not dip down when the compressor engages)
- Power steering load control
The PCM can control polarity of the circuit to control direction of the stepper motor.
IAC Stepper Motor Program: The PCM is also equipped with a memory program that records the
number of steps the IAC stepper motor most recently advanced to during a certain set of
parameters. For example: The PCM was attempting to maintain a 1000 rpm target during a cold
start-up cycle. The last recorded number of steps for that may have been 125. That value would be
recorded in the memory cell so that the next time the PCM recognizes the identical conditions, the
PCM recalls that 125 steps were required to maintain the target. This program allows for greater
customer satisfaction due to greater control of engine idle.
Another function of the memory program, which occurs when the power steering switch (if
equipped), or the A/C request circuit, requires that the IAC stepper motor control engine rpm, is the
recording of the last targeted steps into the memory cell. The PCM can anticipate A/C compressor
loads. This is accomplished by delaying compressor operation for approximately 0.5 seconds until
the PCM moves the IAC stepper motor to the recorded steps that were loaded into the memory
cell. Using this program helps eliminate idle-quality changes as loads change. Finally, the PCM
incorporates a "No-Load" engine speed limiter of approximately 1800 - 2000 rpm, when it
recognizes that the TPS is indicating an idle signal and IAC motor cannot maintain engine idle.
A (factory adjusted) set screw is used to mechanically limit the position of the throttle body throttle
plate. Never attempt to adjust the engine idle speed using this screw. All idle speed functions are
controlled by the IAC motor through the PCM.

CAUTION: Steps 1, 2, 3 and 4 must be performed to relieve high pressure fuel from within fuel rail.
Do not attempt to use following steps to relieve this pressure as excessive fuel will be forced into a
cylinder chamber.
6. Unplug connector from any fuel injector.
7. Attach one end of a jumper wire with alligator clips (18 gauge or smaller) to either injector
terminal.
8. Connect other end of jumper wire to positive side of battery.
9. Connect one end of a second jumper wire to remaining injector terminal.
CAUTION: Powering an injector for more than a few seconds will permanently damage the injector.
10. Momentarily touch other end of jumper wire to negative terminal of battery for no more than a
few seconds.
11. Place a rag or towel below fuel line quick-connect fitting at fuel rail.
12. Disconnect quick-connect fitting at fuel rail.
13. Return fuel pump relay to PDC.
14. One or more Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) may have been stored in PCM memory due to
fuel pump relay removal. A diagnostic scan tool
must be used to erase a DTC.

Fuel Injector: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
An individual fuel injector (1) is used for each individual cylinder.

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

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

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

driven aggressively. This is due to the fact that
on the LX/LE/LC/L2 the fuel tank is a unique saddle tank design and needs 30 to 60 seconds while
the engine is running to level the fuel in both half's of the fuel tank. Allowing the vehicle to idle for
this amount of time will let the fuel pump transfer fuel to the left side tank, opening the control valve
and allowing normal fuel filling.

Idle Speed/Throttle Actuator - Electronic: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
A separate IAC motor is not used with the 5.7L V-8 engine.
The IAC stepper motor is mounted to the throttle body, and regulates the amount of air bypassing
the control of the throttle plate. As engine loads and ambient temperatures change, engine rpm
changes. A pintle on the IAC stepper motor protrudes into a passage in the throttle body,
controlling air flow through the passage. The IAC is controlled by the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) to maintain the target engine idle speed.

Idle Speed/Throttle Actuator - Electronic: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
A separate IAC motor is not used with the 5.7L V-8 engine.
At idle, engine speed can be increased by retracting the IAC motor pintle and allowing more air to
pass through the port, or it can be decreased by restricting the passage with the pintle and
diminishing the amount of air bypassing the throttle plate.
The IAC is called a stepper motor because it is moved (rotated) in steps, or increments. Opening
the IAC opens an air passage around the throttle blade which increases RPM.
The PCM uses the IAC motor to control idle speed (along with timing) and to reach a desired MAP
during decel (keep engine from stalling).
The IAC motor has 4 wires with 4 circuits. Two of the wires are for 12 volts and ground to supply
electrical current to the motor windings to operate the stepper motor in one direction. The other 2
wires are also for 12 volts and ground to supply electrical current to operate the stepper motor in
the opposite direction.
To make the IAC go in the opposite direction, the PCM just reverses polarity on both windings. If
only 1 wire is open, the IAC can only be moved 1 step (increment) in either direction. To keep the
IAC motor in position when no movement is needed, the PCM will energize both windings at the
same time. This locks the IAC motor in place.
In the IAC motor system, the PCM will count every step that the motor is moved. This allows the
PCM to determine the motor pintle position. If the memory is cleared, the PCM no longer knows the
position of the pintle. So at the first key ON, the PCM drives the IAC motor closed, regardless of
where it was before. This zeros the counter. From this point the PCM will back out the IAC motor
and keep track of its position again.
When engine rpm is above idle speed, the IAC is used for the following:
- Off-idle dashpot (throttle blade will close quickly but idle speed will not stop quickly)
- Deceleration air flow control
- A/C compressor load control (also opens the passage slightly before the compressor is engaged
so that the engine rpm does not dip down when the compressor engages)
- Power steering load control
The PCM can control polarity of the circuit to control direction of the stepper motor.
IAC Stepper Motor Program: The PCM is also equipped with a memory program that records the
number of steps the IAC stepper motor most recently advanced to during a certain set of
parameters. For example: The PCM was attempting to maintain a 1000 rpm target during a cold
start-up cycle. The last recorded number of steps for that may have been 125. That value would be
recorded in the memory cell so that the next time the PCM recognizes the identical conditions, the
PCM recalls that 125 steps were required to maintain the target. This program allows for greater
customer satisfaction due to greater control of engine idle.
Another function of the memory program, which occurs when the power steering switch (if
equipped), or the A/C request circuit, requires that the IAC stepper motor control engine rpm, is the
recording of the last targeted steps into the memory cell. The PCM can anticipate A/C compressor
loads. This is accomplished by delaying compressor operation for approximately 0.5 seconds until
the PCM moves the IAC stepper motor to the recorded steps that were loaded into the memory
cell. Using this program helps eliminate idle-quality changes as loads change. Finally, the PCM
incorporates a "No-Load" engine speed limiter of approximately 1800 - 2000 rpm, when it
recognizes that the TPS is indicating an idle signal and IAC motor cannot maintain engine idle.
A (factory adjusted) set screw is used to mechanically limit the position of the throttle body throttle
plate. Never attempt to adjust the engine idle speed using this screw. All idle speed functions are
controlled by the IAC motor through the PCM.

The ASD relay supplies battery voltage (12+ volts) to the fuel injectors and ignition coil(s). With
certain emissions packages it also supplies 12-volts to the oxygen sensor heating elements.
The ground circuit for the coil within the ASD relay is controlled by the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). The PCM operates the ASD relay by switching its ground circuit on and off.
The ASD relay will be shut-down, meaning the 12-volt power supply to the ASD relay will be
de-activated by the PCM if:
- The ignition key is left in the ON position. This is if the engine has not been running for
approximately 1.8 seconds.
- There is a crankshaft position sensor signal to the PCM that is lower than pre-determined values.

Throttle Position Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The 5.7L V-8 engine does not use a separate Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) on the throttle body.
The 3-wire TPS provides the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) with an input signal (voltage) that
represents the throttle blade position of the throttle body. The sensor is connected to the throttle
blade shaft. As the position of the throttle blade changes, the output voltage of the TPS changes.
The PCM supplies approximately 5 volts to the TPS. The TPS output voltage (input signal to the
PCM) represents the throttle blade position. The PCM receives an input signal voltage from the
TPS. This will vary in an approximate range of from 0.26 volts at minimum throttle opening (idle), to
4.49 volts at wide open throttle. Along with inputs from other sensors, the PCM uses the TPS input
to determine current engine operating conditions. In response to engine operating conditions, the
PCM will adjust fuel injector pulse width and ignition timing.
The PCM needs to identify the actions and position of the throttle blade at all times. This
information is needed to assist in performing the following calculations:
- Ignition timing advance
- Fuel injection pulse-width
- Idle (learned value or minimum TPS)
- Off-idle (0.06 volt)

DESCRIPTION
The throttle body is located on the intake manifold. Fuel does not enter the intake manifold through
the throttle body. Fuel is sprayed into the manifold by the fuel injectors.

Throttle Body: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
Filtered air from the air cleaner enters the intake manifold through the throttle body. The throttle
body contains an air control passage controlled by an Idle Air Control (IAC) motor. The air control
passage is used to supply air for idle conditions. A throttle valve (plate) is used to supply air for
above idle conditions.
5.7L V-8 Engine:
The throttle body on the 5.7L engine is an electrically controlled unit. A mechanical cable is not
used to connect the throttle body to the accelerator pedal . The Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor
(APPS) along with inputs from other sensors sets the throttle blade to pre-determined positions.
Except 5.7L V-8 Engine:
Certain sensors are attached to the throttle body. The accelerator pedal cable, speed control cable
and transmission control cable (when equipped) are connected to the throttle body linkage arm.
A (factory adjusted) set screw is used to mechanically limit the position of the throttle body throttle
plate. Never attempt to adjust the engine idle speed using this screw. All idle speed functions are
controlled by the PCM.

Throttle Position Sensor: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The 3-wire Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) is mounted on the throttle body and is connected to the
throttle blade shaft.
The 5.7L V-8 engine does not use a separate TPS on the throttle body. If it is determined that TPS
signal is bad, due to the sensor itself, the throttle body will need to be replaced.

Throttle Position Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The 5.7L V-8 engine does not use a separate Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) on the throttle body.
The 3-wire TPS provides the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) with an input signal (voltage) that
represents the throttle blade position of the throttle body. The sensor is connected to the throttle
blade shaft. As the position of the throttle blade changes, the output voltage of the TPS changes.
The PCM supplies approximately 5 volts to the TPS. The TPS output voltage (input signal to the
PCM) represents the throttle blade position. The PCM receives an input signal voltage from the
TPS. This will vary in an approximate range of from 0.26 volts at minimum throttle opening (idle), to
4.49 volts at wide open throttle. Along with inputs from other sensors, the PCM uses the TPS input
to determine current engine operating conditions. In response to engine operating conditions, the
PCM will adjust fuel injector pulse width and ignition timing.
The PCM needs to identify the actions and position of the throttle blade at all times. This
information is needed to assist in performing the following calculations:
- Ignition timing advance
- Fuel injection pulse-width
- Idle (learned value or minimum TPS)
- Off-idle (0.06 volt)
- Wide Open Throttle (WOT) open loop (2.608 volts above learned idle voltage)
- Deceleration fuel lean out
- Fuel cutoff during cranking at WOT (2.608 volts above learned idle voltage)
- A/C WOT cutoff (certain automatic transmissions only).

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

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

Ignition Coil: Description and Operation Operation
5.7L
The ignition system is controlled by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) on all engines.
The 5.7L engine uses dual output coils, and 2 spark plugs per cylinder.
Each cylinder is equipped with 1 dual-output coil. Meaning one coil mounts directly over one of the
dual spark plugs for 1 high-voltage output.
Battery voltage is supplied to all of the ignition coils positive terminals from the ASD relay. If the
PCM does not see a signal from the crankshaft and camshaft sensors (indicating the ignition key is
ON but the engine is not running), it will shut down the ASD circuit.
Base ignition timing is not adjustable. By controlling the coil ground circuits, the PCM is able to set
the base timing and adjust the ignition timing advance. This is done to meet changing engine
operating conditions.
The PCM adjusts ignition timing based on inputs it receives from:
- The engine coolant temperature sensor
- The crankshaft position sensor (engine speed)
- The camshaft position sensor (crankshaft position)
- The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
- The throttle position sensor
- Transmission gear selection

PCM OUTPUT
The ASD relay supplies battery voltage (12+ volts) to the fuel injectors and ignition coil(s). With
certain emissions packages it also supplies 12-volts to the oxygen sensor heating elements.
The ground circuit for the coil within the ASD relay is controlled by the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). The PCM operates the ASD relay by switching its ground circuit on and off.
The ASD relay will be shut-down, meaning the 12-volt power supply to the ASD relay will be
de-activated by the PCM if:
- The ignition key is left in the ON position. This is if the engine has not been running for
approximately 1.8 seconds.
- There is a crankshaft position sensor signal to the PCM that is lower than pre-determined values.

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
Two knock sensors are bolted into the cylinder block under the intake manifold 3.7L & 4.7L.
Two knock sensors are also used with the 5.7L. These are bolted into each side of the cylinder
block (outside) under the exhaust manifold.

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
Two knock sensors are used; one for each cylinder bank. When the knock sensor detects a knock
in one of the cylinders on the corresponding bank, it sends an input signal to the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM). In response, the PCM retards ignition timing for all cylinders by a scheduled
amount.
Knock sensors contain a piezoelectric 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 the knock sensor voltage signal as an input. If the signal rises above a
predetermined level, the PCM will store that value in memory and retard ignition timing to reduce
engine knock. If the knock sensor voltage exceeds a preset value, the PCM retards ignition timing
for all cylinders. It is not a selective cylinder retard.
The PCM ignores knock sensor input during engine idle conditions. Once the engine speed
exceeds a specified value, knock retard is allowed.
Knock retard uses its own short term and long term memory program.
Long term memory stores previous detonation information in its battery-backed RAM. The
maximum authority that long term memory has over timing retard can be calibrated.
Short term memory is allowed to retard timing up to a preset amount under all operating conditions
(as long as rpm is above the minimum rpm) except at Wide Open Throttle (WOT). The PCM, using
short term memory, can respond quickly to retard timing when engine knock is detected. Short term
memory is lost any time the ignition key is turned off.
NOTE: Over or under tightening the sensor mounting bolts will affect knock sensor performance,
possibly causing improper spark control. Always use the specified torque when installing the knock
sensors.

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

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

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION

Two knock sensors are also used with the 5.7L. These are bolted into each side of the cylinder
block (outside) under the exhaust manifold.

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
Two knock sensors are used; one for each cylinder bank. When the knock sensor detects a knock
in one of the cylinders on the corresponding bank, it sends an input signal to the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM). In response, the PCM retards ignition timing for all cylinders by a scheduled
amount.
Knock sensors contain a piezoelectric 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 the knock sensor voltage signal as an input. If the signal rises above a
predetermined level, the PCM will store that value in memory and retard ignition timing to reduce
engine knock. If the knock sensor voltage exceeds a preset value, the PCM retards ignition timing
for all cylinders. It is not a selective cylinder retard.
The PCM ignores knock sensor input during engine idle conditions. Once the engine speed
exceeds a specified value, knock retard is allowed.
Knock retard uses its own short term and long term memory program.
Long term memory stores previous detonation information in its battery-backed RAM. The
maximum authority that long term memory has over timing retard can be calibrated.
Short term memory is allowed to retard timing up to a preset amount under all operating conditions
(as long as rpm is above the minimum rpm) except at Wide Open Throttle (WOT). The PCM, using
short term memory, can respond quickly to retard timing when engine knock is detected. Short term
memory is lost any time the ignition key is turned off.
NOTE: Over or under tightening the sensor mounting bolts will affect knock sensor performance,
possibly causing improper spark control. Always use the specified torque when installing the knock
sensors.

Removal
REMOVAL
Each individual spark plug is located under each ignition coil. Each individual ignition coil must be
removed to gain access to each spark plug.
1. Remove necessary air filter tubing at throttle body.
2. Prior to removing ignition coil, spray compressed air around coil base at cylinder head.
3. Prior to removing spark plug, spray compressed air into cylinder head opening. This will help
prevent foreign material from entering combustion
chamber.
4. Remove spark plug from cylinder head using a quality socket with a rubber or foam insert. Also
check condition of ignition coil O-ring and replace
as necessary.
5. Inspect spark plug condition.
Installation
INSTALLATION
NOTE: The 4.7L is equipped with copper core ground electrode spark plugs. They must be
replaced with the same type/number spark plug as the original. If another spark plug is substituted,
pre-ignition will result.
Special care should be taken when installing spark plugs into the cylinder head spark plug wells.
Be sure the plugs do not drop into the plug wells as electrodes can be damaged.
Always tighten spark plugs to the specified torque. Over tightening can cause distortion resulting in
a change in the spark plug gap or a cracked porcelain insulator.
1. Start the spark plug into the cylinder head by hand to avoid cross threading.
2. Tighten spark plugs to 27 Nm (20 ft. lbs.). 3.7L & 4.7L.
3. The 5.7L is equipped with torque critical design spark plugs. Do not exceed 15 ft. lbs. torque.
Tighten spark plugs to 18 Nm (13 ft. lbs).
NOTE: 5.7L does not use an O-ring
4. Before installing ignition coil(s), check condition of coil O-ring and replace as necessary. To aid
in coil installation, apply silicone to coil O-ring.
5. Install ignition coil(s).

Overdrive Solenoid: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The transmission solenoid/TRS assembly is internal to the transmission and mounted on the valve
body assembly. The assembly consists of six solenoids that control hydraulic pressure to the six
friction elements (transmission clutches), and the torque converter clutch. The pressure control
solenoid is located on the side of the solenoid/TRS assembly. The solenoid/TRS assembly also
contains the Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) and five pressure switches that feed information to
the TCM.

Overdrive Solenoid: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
SOLENOIDS
Solenoids are used to control the L/R, 2C, 4C, OD, and UD friction elements. The reverse clutch is
controlled by line pressure and the position of the manual valve in the valve body. All the solenoids
are contained within the Solenoid and Pressure Switch Assembly. The solenoid and pressure
switch assembly contains one additional solenoid, Multi-Select (MS), which serves primarily to
provide 2nd and 3rd gear limp-in operation.
The solenoids receive electrical power from the Transmission Control Relay through a single wire.
The TCM energizes or operates the solenoids individually by grounding the return wire of the
solenoid as necessary. When a solenoid is energized, the solenoid valve shifts, and a fluid
passage is opened or closed (vented or applied), depending on its default operating state. The
result is an apply or release of a frictional element.
The MS and UD solenoids are normally applied to allow transmission limp-in in the event of an
electrical failure.
The continuity of the solenoids and circuits are periodically tested. Each solenoid is turned on or off
depending on its current state. An inductive spike should be detected by the TCM during this test. If
no spike is detected, the circuit is tested again to verify the failure. In addition to the periodic
testing, the solenoid circuits are tested if a speed ratio or pressure switch error occurs.
PRESSURE SWITCHES
The TCM relies on five pressure switches to monitor fluid pressure in the L/R, 2C, 4C, UD, and OD
hydraulic circuits. The primary purpose of these switches is to help the TCM detect when clutch
circuit hydraulic failures occur. The switches close at approximately 23 psi and open at
approximately 11 psi, and simply indicate whether or not pressure exists. The switches are
continuously monitored by the TCM for the correct states (open or closed) in each gear as shown
in the following chart:
Pressure Switches
A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set if the TCM senses any switch open or closed at the
wrong time in a given gear.

Pressure Regulating Solenoid: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The transmission solenoid/TRS assembly is internal to the transmission and mounted on the valve
body assembly. The assembly consists of six solenoids that control hydraulic pressure to the six
friction elements (transmission clutches), and the torque converter clutch. The pressure control
solenoid is located on the side of the solenoid/TRS assembly. The solenoid/TRS assembly also
contains the Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) and five pressure switches that feed information to
the TCM.

Pressure Regulating Solenoid: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
SOLENOIDS
Solenoids are used to control the L/R, 2C, 4C, OD, and UD friction elements. The reverse clutch is
controlled by line pressure and the position of the manual valve in the valve body. All the solenoids
are contained within the Solenoid and Pressure Switch Assembly. The solenoid and pressure
switch assembly contains one additional solenoid, Multi-Select (MS), which serves primarily to
provide 2nd and 3rd gear limp-in operation.
The solenoids receive electrical power from the Transmission Control Relay through a single wire.
The TCM energizes or operates the solenoids individually by grounding the return wire of the
solenoid as necessary. When a solenoid is energized, the solenoid valve shifts, and a fluid
passage is opened or closed (vented or applied), depending on its default operating state. The
result is an apply or release of a frictional element.
The MS and UD solenoids are normally applied to allow transmission limp-in in the event of an
electrical failure.
The continuity of the solenoids and circuits are periodically tested. Each solenoid is turned on or off
depending on its current state. An inductive spike should be detected by the TCM during this test. If
no spike is detected, the circuit is tested again to verify the failure. In addition to the periodic
testing, the solenoid circuits are tested if a speed ratio or pressure switch error occurs.
PRESSURE SWITCHES
The TCM relies on five pressure switches to monitor fluid pressure in the L/R, 2C, 4C, UD, and OD
hydraulic circuits. The primary purpose of these switches is to help the TCM detect when clutch
circuit hydraulic failures occur. The switches close at approximately 23 psi and open at
approximately 11 psi, and simply indicate whether or not pressure exists. The switches are
continuously monitored by the TCM for the correct states (open or closed) in each gear as shown
in the following chart:
Pressure Switches
A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set if the TCM senses any switch open or closed at the
wrong time in a given gear.

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

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

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

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

Control Module: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) controls all electronic operations of the transmission. The
TCM receives information regarding vehicle operation from both direct and indirect inputs, and
selects the operational mode of the transmission. Direct inputs are hard wired to, and used
specifically by the TCM. Indirect inputs are shared with the TCM via the vehicle communication
bus.
Some examples of direct inputs to the TCM are:
- Battery (B+) voltage
- Ignition "ON" voltage
- Transmission Control Relay (Switched B+) (if equipped)
- Throttle Position Sensor
- Crankshaft Position Sensor
- Transmission Range Sensor
- Pressure Switches
- Transmission Temperature Sensor
- Input Shaft Speed Sensor
- Output Shaft Speed Sensor
- Line Pressure Sensor
Some examples of indirect inputs to the TCM are:
- Engine/Body Identification
- Manifold Pressure
- Target Idle
- Torque Reduction Confirmation
- Engine Coolant Temperature
- Ambient/Battery Temperature
- Scan Tool Communication
Based on the information received from these various inputs, the TCM determines the appropriate
shift schedule and shift points, depending on the present operating conditions and driver demand.
This is possible through the control of various direct and indirect outputs.
Some examples of TCM direct outputs are:
- Transmission Control Relay
- Solenoids
- Torque Reduction Request
Some examples of TCM indirect outputs are:
- Transmission Temperature (to PCM)
- PRNDL Position (to cluster/CCN)
In addition to monitoring inputs and controlling outputs, the TCM has other important
responsibilities and functions:
- Storing and maintaining Clutch Volume Indexes (CVI)
- Storing and selecting appropriate Shift Schedules
- System self-diagnostics
- Diagnostic capabilities (with scan tool)
NOTE: If the TCM has been replaced, the "Quick Learn Procedure" must be performed.
BATTERY FEED
A fused, direct battery feed to the TCM is used for continuous power. This battery voltage is
necessary to retain memory in the TCM. When the battery (B+) is disconnected, this memory is
lost. When the battery (B+) is restored, this memory loss is detected by the TCM and a Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) is set.
CLUTCH VOLUME INDEXES (CVI)
Dodge Durango 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L VIN 2 (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Transmission Control Systems > Relays and Modules Transmission and Drivetrain > Relays and Modules - A/T > Control Module, A/T > Component Information > Description and
Operation > Description > Page 5236
An important function of the TCM is to monitor Clutch Volume Indexes (CVI). CVIs represent the
volume of fluid needed to compress a clutch pack. The TCM monitors gear ratio changes by
monitoring the Input and Output Speed Sensors. The Input, or Turbine Speed Sensor sends an
electrical signal to the TCM that represents input shaft rpm. The Output Speed Sensor provides the
TCM with output shaft speed information.
By comparing the two inputs, the TCM can determine transmission gear position. This is important
to the CVI calculation because the TCM determines CVIs by monitoring how long it takes for a gear
change to occur.
Gear ratios can be determined by using the Scan Tool and reading the Input/Output Speed Sensor
values in the "Monitors" display. Gear ratio can be obtained by dividing the Input Speed Sensor
value by the Output Speed Sensor value.
For example, if the input shaft is rotating at 1000 rpm and the output shaft is rotating at 500 rpm,
then the TCM can determine that the gear ratio is 2:1. In direct drive (3rd gear), the gear ratio
changes to 1:1. The gear ratio changes as clutches are applied and released. By monitoring the
length of time it takes for the gear ratio to change following a shift request, the TCM can determine
the volume of fluid used to apply or release a friction element.
The volume of transmission fluid needed to apply the friction elements are continuously updated for
adaptive controls. As friction material wears, the volume of fluid need to apply the element
increases.
Certain mechanical problems within the input clutch assembly can cause inadequate or
out-of-range element volumes. Also, defective Input/Output Speed Sensors and wiring can cause
these conditions. The following charts identifies the appropriate clutch volumes and when they are
monitored/updated:

Operation > Description > Page 5237
SHIFT SCHEDULES
As mentioned earlier, the TCM has programming that allows it to select a variety of shift schedules.
Shift schedule selection is dependent on the following:
- Shift lever position
- Throttle position
- Engine load
- Fluid temperature
- Software level
As driving conditions change, the TCM appropriately adjusts the shift schedule. Refer to the
following chart to determine the appropriate operation expected, depending on driving conditions.

Transmission Control System Relay: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The relay is supplied fused B+ voltage, energized by the TCM, and is used to supply power to the
solenoid pack when the transmission is in normal operating mode.

Transmission Control System Relay: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
When the relay is "off", no power is supplied to the solenoid pack and the transmission is in
"limp-in" mode. After a controller reset, the TCM energizes the relay. Prior to this, the TCM verifies
that the contacts are open by checking for no voltage at the switched battery terminals. After this is
verified, the voltage at the solenoid pack pressure switches is checked. After the relay is energized,
the TCM monitors the terminals to verify that the voltage is greater than 3 volts.

Fluid Pressure Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The TCM utilizes a closed-loop system to control transmission line pressure. The system contains
a variable force style solenoid, the Pressure Control Solenoid, which is part of the pressure switch
assembly. The solenoid is duty cycle controlled by the TCM to vent the unnecessary line pressure
supplied by the oil pump back to the pump inlet. The system contains a Line Pressure Sensor,
which is a direct input to the TCM. The line pressure sensor monitors the transmission line
pressure and completes the feedback loop to the TCM. The TCM uses this information to adjust its
control of the pressure control solenoid to achieve the desired line pressure.

Fluid Pressure Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The TCM calculates the desired line pressure based upon inputs from the transmission and engine.
The TCM calculates the torque input to the transmission and uses that information as the primary
input to the calculation. The line pressure is set to a predetermined value during shifts, to ensure
consistent shift quality. During all other operation, the desired line pressure value is adjusted based
on torque level and other transmission requirements.

OPERATION
At key-on, overdrive operation is allowed. Pressing the switch once causes the tow/haul overdrive
OFF mode to be entered and the Tow/Haul lamp to be illuminated. Pressing the switch a second
time causes normal overdrive operation to be restored and the tow/haul lamp to be turned off. The
tow/haul overdrive OFF mode defaults to ON after the ignition switch is cycled OFF and ON. The
normal position for the control switch is the ON position. The switch must be in this position to
energize the solenoid and allow a 3-4 upshift. The control switch indicator light illuminates only
when the tow/haul overdrive switch is turned to the OFF position, or when illuminated by the
transmission control module.

Shift Solenoid Position Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The transmission solenoid/TRS assembly is internal to the transmission and mounted on the valve
body assembly. The assembly consists of six solenoids that control hydraulic pressure to the six
friction elements (transmission clutches), and the torque converter clutch. The pressure control
solenoid is located on the side of the solenoid/TRS assembly. The solenoid/TRS assembly also
contains the Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) and five pressure switches that feed information to
the TCM.

Shift Solenoid Position Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
SOLENOIDS
Solenoids are used to control the L/R, 2C, 4C, OD, and UD friction elements. The reverse clutch is
controlled by line pressure and the position of the manual valve in the valve body. All the solenoids
are contained within the Solenoid and Pressure Switch Assembly. The solenoid and pressure
switch assembly contains one additional solenoid, Multi-Select (MS), which serves primarily to
provide 2nd and 3rd gear limp-in operation.
The solenoids receive electrical power from the Transmission Control Relay through a single wire.
The TCM energizes or operates the solenoids individually by grounding the return wire of the
solenoid as necessary. When a solenoid is energized, the solenoid valve shifts, and a fluid
passage is opened or closed (vented or applied), depending on its default operating state. The
result is an apply or release of a frictional element.
The MS and UD solenoids are normally applied to allow transmission limp-in in the event of an
electrical failure.
The continuity of the solenoids and circuits are periodically tested. Each solenoid is turned on or off
depending on its current state. An inductive spike should be detected by the TCM during this test. If
no spike is detected, the circuit is tested again to verify the failure. In addition to the periodic
testing, the solenoid circuits are tested if a speed ratio or pressure switch error occurs.
PRESSURE SWITCHES
The TCM relies on five pressure switches to monitor fluid pressure in the L/R, 2C, 4C, UD, and OD
hydraulic circuits. The primary purpose of these switches is to help the TCM detect when clutch
circuit hydraulic failures occur. The switches close at approximately 23 psi and open at
approximately 11 psi, and simply indicate whether or not pressure exists. The switches are
continuously monitored by the TCM for the correct states (open or closed) in each gear as shown
in the following chart:
Pressure Switches
A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set if the TCM senses any switch open or closed at the
wrong time in a given gear.

Transmission Position Switch/Sensor: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) is part of the solenoid module, which is mounted to the top
of the valve body inside the transmission.
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) has five switch contact pins that:
- Determine shift lever position
- Supply ground to the Starter Relay in Park and Neutral only.
- Supply +12 V to the backup lamps in Reverse only.
The TRS also has an integrated temperature sensor (thermistor) that communicates transmission
temperature to the TCM and PCM.

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

Description
DESCRIPTION
The Input and Output Speed Sensors are two-wire magnetic pickup devices that generate AC
signals as rotation occurs. They are mounted in the left side of the transmission case and are
considered primary inputs to the Transmission Control Module (TCM).
Operation
OPERATION
The Input Speed Sensor provides information on how fast the input shaft is rotating. As the teeth of
the input clutch hub pass by the sensor coil, an AC voltage is generated and sent to the TCM. The
TCM interprets this information as input shaft rpm.
The Output Speed Sensor generates an AC signal in a similar fashion, though its coil is excited by
rotation of the park gear teeth. The TCM interprets this information as output shaft rpm.
The TCM compares the input and output speed signals to determine the following:
- Transmission gear ratio
- Speed ratio error detection
- CVI calculation
The TCM also compares the input speed signal and the engine speed signal to determine the
following:
- Torque converter clutch slippage
- Torque converter element speed ratio

vehicles equipped with a 42RLE transmission.
IMPORTANT:
Many of the vehicles within the above build periods have already been inspected or repaired and,
therefore, have been excluded from this recall.
IMPORTANT:
Some of the involved vehicles may be in dealer new vehicle inventory. Federal law requires you to
complete this recall service on these vehicles before retail delivery. Dealers should also consider
this requirement to apply to used vehicle inventory and should perform this recall on vehicles in for
service. Involved vehicles can be determined by using the VIP inquiry process.
Subject
The software programmed into the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) on about 4,700 of the above
vehicles may allow the transmission to shift into first gear if the operator shifts from "Drive" to
"Neutral" and back into the "Drive" position. A shift into first gear at speeds above 40 mph could
cause a momentary lock up of the drive wheels, which can result in a crash without prior warning
Repair
The PCM must be reprogrammed (flashed).
Parts Information
Due to the likelihood that the required labels are already in your parts inventory, no labels will be
distributed initially. The following label may be ordered as needed.
Each vehicle requires application of the labels shown.

SUBJECT: FLASH: 545RFE Transmission Defaults To Neutral
OVERVIEW: This bulletin involves selectively erasing and reprogramming the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM) with new software.
MODELS:
2007 (DR/DH/D1/DC) Ram Truck (1500/2500/3500)
2007 (HB/HG) Durango/Aspen
2007 (ND) Dakota
NOTE:
This bulletin applies to vehicles equipped with a 545RFE transmission (sale code DGQ) built on or
before March 26, 2007 (MDH 0326XX).
SYMPTOM/CONDITION:
The transmission may default into neutral gear if the transmission gear selector is moved into
"reverse gear range under certain operating conditions.
The default into neutral gear is done to protect the transmission mechanical components from
potential damage. New PCM software will monitor transmission hydraulic pressure and allow
reverse gear engagement, if the transmission is in "reverse gear range and the transmission
hydraulic pressure is sufficient to support reverse gear operation.
DIAGNOSIS:
Using a StarSCAN(R) with the appropriate Diagnostic Procedures available in TechCONNECT,
verify all engine systems are functioning as designed. If DTCs are present record them on the
repair order and repair as necessary before proceeding further with this bulletin.
If the vehicle operator describes or experiences the Symptom/Condition, perform the Repair
Procedure.

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:

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 Durango 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L VIN 2 (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

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).

IMPORTANT:
Many of the vehicles within the above build periods have already been inspected or repaired and,
therefore, have been excluded from this recall.
IMPORTANT:
Some of the involved vehicles may be in dealer new vehicle inventory. Federal law requires you to
complete this recall service on these vehicles before retail delivery. Dealers should also consider
this requirement to apply to used vehicle inventory and should perform this recall on vehicles in for
service. Involved vehicles can be determined by using the VIP inquiry process.
Subject
The software programmed into the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) on about 4,700 of the above
vehicles may allow the transmission to shift into first gear if the operator shifts from "Drive" to
"Neutral" and back into the "Drive" position. A shift into first gear at speeds above 40 mph could
cause a momentary lock up of the drive wheels, which can result in a crash without prior warning
Repair
The PCM must be reprogrammed (flashed).
Parts Information
Due to the likelihood that the required labels are already in your parts inventory, no labels will be
distributed initially. The following label may be ordered as needed.

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:

Overdrive Solenoid: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The transmission solenoid/TRS assembly is internal to the transmission and mounted on the valve
body assembly. The assembly consists of six solenoids that control hydraulic pressure to the six
friction elements (transmission clutches), and the torque converter clutch. The pressure control
solenoid is located on the side of the solenoid/TRS assembly. The solenoid/TRS assembly also
contains the Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) and five pressure switches that feed information to
the TCM.

Overdrive Solenoid: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
SOLENOIDS
Solenoids are used to control the L/R, 2C, 4C, OD, and UD friction elements. The reverse clutch is
controlled by line pressure and the position of the manual valve in the valve body. All the solenoids
are contained within the Solenoid and Pressure Switch Assembly. The solenoid and pressure
switch assembly contains one additional solenoid, Multi-Select (MS), which serves primarily to
provide 2nd and 3rd gear limp-in operation.
The solenoids receive electrical power from the Transmission Control Relay through a single wire.
The TCM energizes or operates the solenoids individually by grounding the return wire of the
solenoid as necessary. When a solenoid is energized, the solenoid valve shifts, and a fluid
passage is opened or closed (vented or applied), depending on its default operating state. The
result is an apply or release of a frictional element.
The MS and UD solenoids are normally applied to allow transmission limp-in in the event of an
electrical failure.
The continuity of the solenoids and circuits are periodically tested. Each solenoid is turned on or off
depending on its current state. An inductive spike should be detected by the TCM during this test. If
no spike is detected, the circuit is tested again to verify the failure. In addition to the periodic
testing, the solenoid circuits are tested if a speed ratio or pressure switch error occurs.
PRESSURE SWITCHES
The TCM relies on five pressure switches to monitor fluid pressure in the L/R, 2C, 4C, UD, and OD
hydraulic circuits. The primary purpose of these switches is to help the TCM detect when clutch
circuit hydraulic failures occur. The switches close at approximately 23 psi and open at
approximately 11 psi, and simply indicate whether or not pressure exists. The switches are
continuously monitored by the TCM for the correct states (open or closed) in each gear as shown
in the following chart:
Pressure Switches
A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set if the TCM senses any switch open or closed at the
wrong time in a given gear.

Pressure Regulating Solenoid: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The transmission solenoid/TRS assembly is internal to the transmission and mounted on the valve
body assembly. The assembly consists of six solenoids that control hydraulic pressure to the six
friction elements (transmission clutches), and the torque converter clutch. The pressure control
solenoid is located on the side of the solenoid/TRS assembly. The solenoid/TRS assembly also
contains the Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) and five pressure switches that feed information to
the TCM.

Pressure Regulating Solenoid: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
SOLENOIDS
Solenoids are used to control the L/R, 2C, 4C, OD, and UD friction elements. The reverse clutch is
controlled by line pressure and the position of the manual valve in the valve body. All the solenoids
are contained within the Solenoid and Pressure Switch Assembly. The solenoid and pressure
switch assembly contains one additional solenoid, Multi-Select (MS), which serves primarily to
provide 2nd and 3rd gear limp-in operation.
The solenoids receive electrical power from the Transmission Control Relay through a single wire.
The TCM energizes or operates the solenoids individually by grounding the return wire of the
solenoid as necessary. When a solenoid is energized, the solenoid valve shifts, and a fluid
passage is opened or closed (vented or applied), depending on its default operating state. The
result is an apply or release of a frictional element.
The MS and UD solenoids are normally applied to allow transmission limp-in in the event of an
electrical failure.
The continuity of the solenoids and circuits are periodically tested. Each solenoid is turned on or off
depending on its current state. An inductive spike should be detected by the TCM during this test. If
no spike is detected, the circuit is tested again to verify the failure. In addition to the periodic
testing, the solenoid circuits are tested if a speed ratio or pressure switch error occurs.
PRESSURE SWITCHES
The TCM relies on five pressure switches to monitor fluid pressure in the L/R, 2C, 4C, UD, and OD
hydraulic circuits. The primary purpose of these switches is to help the TCM detect when clutch
circuit hydraulic failures occur. The switches close at approximately 23 psi and open at
approximately 11 psi, and simply indicate whether or not pressure exists. The switches are
continuously monitored by the TCM for the correct states (open or closed) in each gear as shown
in the following chart:
Pressure Switches
A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set if the TCM senses any switch open or closed at the
wrong time in a given gear.

Pressure Regulating Solenoid: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The transmission solenoid/TRS assembly is internal to the transmission and mounted on the valve
body assembly. The assembly consists of six solenoids that control hydraulic pressure to the six
friction elements (transmission clutches), and the torque converter clutch. The pressure control
solenoid is located on the side of the solenoid/TRS assembly. The solenoid/TRS assembly also
contains the Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) and five pressure switches that feed information to
the TCM.

Pressure Regulating Solenoid: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
SOLENOIDS
Solenoids are used to control the L/R, 2C, 4C, OD, and UD friction elements. The reverse clutch is
controlled by line pressure and the position of the manual valve in the valve body. All the solenoids
are contained within the Solenoid and Pressure Switch Assembly. The solenoid and pressure
switch assembly contains one additional solenoid, Multi-Select (MS), which serves primarily to
provide 2nd and 3rd gear limp-in operation.
The solenoids receive electrical power from the Transmission Control Relay through a single wire.
The TCM energizes or operates the solenoids individually by grounding the return wire of the
solenoid as necessary. When a solenoid is energized, the solenoid valve shifts, and a fluid
passage is opened or closed (vented or applied), depending on its default operating state. The
result is an apply or release of a frictional element.
The MS and UD solenoids are normally applied to allow transmission limp-in in the event of an
electrical failure.
The continuity of the solenoids and circuits are periodically tested. Each solenoid is turned on or off
depending on its current state. An inductive spike should be detected by the TCM during this test. If
no spike is detected, the circuit is tested again to verify the failure. In addition to the periodic
testing, the solenoid circuits are tested if a speed ratio or pressure switch error occurs.
PRESSURE SWITCHES
The TCM relies on five pressure switches to monitor fluid pressure in the L/R, 2C, 4C, UD, and OD
hydraulic circuits. The primary purpose of these switches is to help the TCM detect when clutch
circuit hydraulic failures occur. The switches close at approximately 23 psi and open at
approximately 11 psi, and simply indicate whether or not pressure exists. The switches are
continuously monitored by the TCM for the correct states (open or closed) in each gear as shown
in the following chart:
Pressure Switches
A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set if the TCM senses any switch open or closed at the
wrong time in a given gear.

OPERATION
NOTE: Refer to the Hydraulic Schematics for a visual aid in determining valve location, operation
and design.
SOLENOID SWITCH VALVE
The Solenoid Switch Valve (SSV) controls the direction of the transmission fluid when the L/R-TCC
solenoid is energized.
The Solenoid Switch Valve controls line pressure from the LR-TCC solenoid. In 1st gear, the SSV
will be in the downshifted position, thus directing fluid to the L/R clutch circuit. In 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and
fifth gears, the solenoid switch valve will be in the upshifted position and directs the fluid into the
torque converter clutch (TCC) circuit.
When shifting into 1st gear, a special hydraulic sequence is performed to ensure SSV movement
into the downshifted position. The L/R pressure switch is monitored to confirm SSV movement. If
the movement is not confirmed (the L/R pressure switch does not close), 2nd gear is substituted for
1st. A DTC will be set after three unsuccessful attempts are made to get into 1st gear in one given
key start.
MANUAL VALVE
The manual valve is a relay valve. The purpose of the manual valve is to direct fluid to the correct
circuit needed for a specific gear or driving range. The manual valve, as the name implies, is
manually operated by the driver with a lever located on the top of the valve body. The valve is
connected mechanically by a cable to the gearshift mechanism. The valve is held in each of its
positions by a roller detent spring (2) that engages the roostercomb of the TRS selector plate (1).
LOW/REVERSE SWITCH VALVE
The low/reverse switch valve allows the low/reverse clutch to be operated by either the LR/CC
solenoid or the MS solenoid.

DESCRIPTION
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) is a sub-module within the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). The PCM is located on the right inner fender.

Control Module: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) controls all electronic operations of the transmission. The
TCM receives information regarding vehicle operation from both direct and indirect inputs, and
selects the operational mode of the transmission. Direct inputs are hard wired to, and used
specifically by the TCM. Indirect inputs are shared with the TCM via the vehicle communication
bus.
Some examples of direct inputs to the TCM are:
- Battery (B+) voltage
- Ignition "ON" voltage
- Transmission Control Relay (Switched B+) (if equipped)
- Throttle Position Sensor
- Crankshaft Position Sensor
- Transmission Range Sensor
- Pressure Switches
- Transmission Temperature Sensor
- Input Shaft Speed Sensor
- Output Shaft Speed Sensor
- Line Pressure Sensor
Some examples of indirect inputs to the TCM are:
- Engine/Body Identification
- Manifold Pressure
- Target Idle
- Torque Reduction Confirmation
- Engine Coolant Temperature
- Ambient/Battery Temperature
- Scan Tool Communication
Based on the information received from these various inputs, the TCM determines the appropriate
shift schedule and shift points, depending on the present operating conditions and driver demand.
This is possible through the control of various direct and indirect outputs.
Some examples of TCM direct outputs are:
- Transmission Control Relay
- Solenoids
- Torque Reduction Request
Some examples of TCM indirect outputs are:
- Transmission Temperature (to PCM)
- PRNDL Position (to cluster/CCN)
In addition to monitoring inputs and controlling outputs, the TCM has other important
responsibilities and functions:
- Storing and maintaining Clutch Volume Indexes (CVI)
- Storing and selecting appropriate Shift Schedules
- System self-diagnostics
- Diagnostic capabilities (with scan tool)
NOTE: If the TCM has been replaced, the "Quick Learn Procedure" must be performed.
BATTERY FEED
A fused, direct battery feed to the TCM is used for continuous power. This battery voltage is
necessary to retain memory in the TCM. When the battery (B+) is disconnected, this memory is
lost. When the battery (B+) is restored, this memory loss is detected by the TCM and a Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) is set.
CLUTCH VOLUME INDEXES (CVI)
Dodge Durango 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L VIN 2 (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Control Module, A/T >
Component Information > Description and Operation > Description > Page 5677
An important function of the TCM is to monitor Clutch Volume Indexes (CVI). CVIs represent the
volume of fluid needed to compress a clutch pack. The TCM monitors gear ratio changes by
monitoring the Input and Output Speed Sensors. The Input, or Turbine Speed Sensor sends an
electrical signal to the TCM that represents input shaft rpm. The Output Speed Sensor provides the
TCM with output shaft speed information.
By comparing the two inputs, the TCM can determine transmission gear position. This is important
to the CVI calculation because the TCM determines CVIs by monitoring how long it takes for a gear
change to occur.
Gear ratios can be determined by using the Scan Tool and reading the Input/Output Speed Sensor
values in the "Monitors" display. Gear ratio can be obtained by dividing the Input Speed Sensor
value by the Output Speed Sensor value.
For example, if the input shaft is rotating at 1000 rpm and the output shaft is rotating at 500 rpm,
then the TCM can determine that the gear ratio is 2:1. In direct drive (3rd gear), the gear ratio
changes to 1:1. The gear ratio changes as clutches are applied and released. By monitoring the
length of time it takes for the gear ratio to change following a shift request, the TCM can determine
the volume of fluid used to apply or release a friction element.
The volume of transmission fluid needed to apply the friction elements are continuously updated for
adaptive controls. As friction material wears, the volume of fluid need to apply the element
increases.
Certain mechanical problems within the input clutch assembly can cause inadequate or
out-of-range element volumes. Also, defective Input/Output Speed Sensors and wiring can cause
these conditions. The following charts identifies the appropriate clutch volumes and when they are
monitored/updated:

Component Information > Description and Operation > Description > Page 5678
SHIFT SCHEDULES
As mentioned earlier, the TCM has programming that allows it to select a variety of shift schedules.
Shift schedule selection is dependent on the following:
- Shift lever position
- Throttle position
- Engine load
- Fluid temperature
- Software level
As driving conditions change, the TCM appropriately adjusts the shift schedule. Refer to the
following chart to determine the appropriate operation expected, depending on driving conditions.

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

FLUID COLOR
Mopar ATF+4(R) has exceptional durability. However, the red dye used in ATF+4(R) is not
permanent; as the fluid ages it may become darker or appear brown in color. ATF+4(R) also has a
unique odor that may change with age. With ATF+4(R) fluid, color and odor are no longer
indicators of fluid condition and do not necessarily support a fluid change.

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

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

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

Information > Service and Repair > Fluid Level Check - 545RFE
Fluid - A/T: Service and Repair Fluid Level Check - 545RFE
FLUID LEVEL CHECK
Low fluid level can cause a variety of conditions because it allows the pump to take in air along with
the fluid. As in any hydraulic system, air bubbles make the fluid spongy, therefore, pressures will be
low and build up slowly.
Improper filling can also raise the fluid level too high. When the transmssion has too much fluid, the
geartrain churns up foam and cause the same conditions which occur with a low fluid level.
In either case, air bubbles can cause overheating and fluid oxidation, and varnishing. This can
interfere with normal valve, clutch, and accumulator operation. Foaming can also result in fluid
escaping from the transmission vent where it may be mistaken for a leak.
After the fluid has been checked, seat the dipstick fully to seal out water and dirt.
The transmission has a dipstick to check oil level. It is located on the right side of the engine. Be
sure to wipe all dirt from dipstick handle before removing.
The torque converter fills in both the P (PARK) and N (NEUTRAL) positions. Place the selector
lever in P (PARK) to be sure that the fluid level check is accurate. The engine should be running at
idle speed for at least one minute, with the vehicle on level ground. At normal operating
temperature (approximately 82° C. or 180° F), the fluid level is correct if it is in the HOT region
(cross-hatched area) on the oil level indicator. The fluid level will be approximately at the upper
COLD hole of the dipstick at 21° C (70° F) fluid temperature.

NOTE: Engine and Transmission should be at normal operating temperature before performing this
procedure.
1. Start engine and apply parking brake. 2. Shift the transmission into DRIVE for approximately 2
seconds. 3. Shift the transmission into REVERSE for approximately 2 seconds. 4. Shift the
transmission into PARK. 5. Hook up scan tool and select transmission. 6. Select sensors. 7. Read
the transmission temperature value. 8. Compare the fluid temperature value with the chart. 9.
Adjust transmission fluid level shown on the dipstick according to the Transmission Fluid
Temperature Chart.
NOTE: After adding any fluid to the transmission, wait a minimum of 2 minutes for the oil to fully
drain from the fill tube into the

transmission before rechecking the fluid level.
10. Check transmission for leaks.
CAPPED FILL TUBE
1. Verify that the vehicle is parked on a level surface. 2. Remove the dipstick tube cap.
WARNING: There is a risk of accident from vehicle starting off by itself when engine is running.
There is a risk of injury from contusions and burns if you insert your hands into the engine when it
is started or when it is running. Secure vehicle to prevent it from moving off by itself. Wear properly
fastened and close-fitting work clothes. Do not touch hot or rotating parts.
3. Actuate the service brake. Start engine and let it run at idle speed in selector lever position "P".
4. Shift through the transmission modes several times with the vehicle stationary and the engine
idling. 5. Warm up the transmission, wait at least 2 minutes and check the oil level with the engine
running. Push the Oil Dipstick 9336 into transmission fill
tube until the dipstick tip contacts the oil pan and pull out again, read off oil level, repeat if
necessary.
NOTE: The dipstick will protrude from the fill tube when installed.
6. Check transmission oil temperature using the appropriate scan tool.
NOTE: The true transmission oil temperature can only be read by a scan tool in REVERSE or any
forward gear position.
7. The transmission Oil Dipstick 9336 has indicator marks every 10 mm. Determine the height of
the oil level on the dipstick and using the height,
the transmission temperature, and the Transmission Fluid Graph, determine if the transmission oil
level is correct.
8. Add or remove oil as necessary and recheck the oil level. 9. Once the oil level is correct, install
the dipstick tube cap.

Fluid Pressure Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The TCM utilizes a closed-loop system to control transmission line pressure. The system contains
a variable force style solenoid, the Pressure Control Solenoid, which is part of the pressure switch
assembly. The solenoid is duty cycle controlled by the TCM to vent the unnecessary line pressure
supplied by the oil pump back to the pump inlet. The system contains a Line Pressure Sensor,
which is a direct input to the TCM. The line pressure sensor monitors the transmission line
pressure and completes the feedback loop to the TCM. The TCM uses this information to adjust its
control of the pressure control solenoid to achieve the desired line pressure.

Fluid Pressure Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The TCM calculates the desired line pressure based upon inputs from the transmission and engine.
The TCM calculates the torque input to the transmission and uses that information as the primary
input to the calculation. The line pressure is set to a predetermined value during shifts, to ensure
consistent shift quality. During all other operation, the desired line pressure value is adjusted based
on torque level and other transmission requirements.

Fluid Pump: Testing and Inspection
STANDARD PROCEDURE - OIL PUMP VOLUME CHECK
Measuring the oil pump output volume will determine if sufficient oil flow to the transmission oil
cooler exists, and whether or not an internal transmission failure is present.
Verify that the transmission fluid is at the proper level. Refer to the Fluid Level Check procedure. If
necessary, fill the transmission to the proper level with Mopar(R) ATF +4, Automatic Transmission
Fluid.
1. Disconnect the To cooler line at the cooler inlet and place a collecting container under the
disconnected line.
CAUTION: With the fluid set at the proper level, fluid collection should not exceed (1) quart or
internal damage to the transmission may occur.
2. Run the engine at 1800 rpm, with the shift selector in neutral. Verify that the transmission fluid
temperature is below 104.5° C (220° F) for this
test.
3. If one quart of transmission fluid is collected in the container in 30 seconds or less, oil pump flow
volume is within acceptable limits. If fluid flow
is intermittent, or it takes more than 30 seconds to collect one quart of fluid, refer to the Hydraulic
Pressure tests for further diagnosis.
4. Re-connect the To cooler line to the transmission cooler inlet. 5. Refill the transmission to proper
level.

Overdrive Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
A tow/haul indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. The tow/haul indicator is
located below the minor gauge set on the left side of the cluster.
The tow/haul indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the text TOW/HAUL in the opaque layer of
the instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being
clearly visible when it is not illuminated. An amber Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in

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

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

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

Overdrive Solenoid: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The transmission solenoid/TRS assembly is internal to the transmission and mounted on the valve
body assembly. The assembly consists of six solenoids that control hydraulic pressure to the six
friction elements (transmission clutches), and the torque converter clutch. The pressure control
solenoid is located on the side of the solenoid/TRS assembly. The solenoid/TRS assembly also
contains the Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) and five pressure switches that feed information to
the TCM.

Overdrive Solenoid: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
SOLENOIDS
Solenoids are used to control the L/R, 2C, 4C, OD, and UD friction elements. The reverse clutch is
controlled by line pressure and the position of the manual valve in the valve body. All the solenoids
are contained within the Solenoid and Pressure Switch Assembly. The solenoid and pressure
switch assembly contains one additional solenoid, Multi-Select (MS), which serves primarily to
provide 2nd and 3rd gear limp-in operation.
The solenoids receive electrical power from the Transmission Control Relay through a single wire.
The TCM energizes or operates the solenoids individually by grounding the return wire of the
solenoid as necessary. When a solenoid is energized, the solenoid valve shifts, and a fluid
passage is opened or closed (vented or applied), depending on its default operating state. The
result is an apply or release of a frictional element.
The MS and UD solenoids are normally applied to allow transmission limp-in in the event of an
electrical failure.
The continuity of the solenoids and circuits are periodically tested. Each solenoid is turned on or off
depending on its current state. An inductive spike should be detected by the TCM during this test. If
no spike is detected, the circuit is tested again to verify the failure. In addition to the periodic
testing, the solenoid circuits are tested if a speed ratio or pressure switch error occurs.
PRESSURE SWITCHES
The TCM relies on five pressure switches to monitor fluid pressure in the L/R, 2C, 4C, UD, and OD
hydraulic circuits. The primary purpose of these switches is to help the TCM detect when clutch
circuit hydraulic failures occur. The switches close at approximately 23 psi and open at
approximately 11 psi, and simply indicate whether or not pressure exists. The switches are
continuously monitored by the TCM for the correct states (open or closed) in each gear as shown
in the following chart:
Pressure Switches
A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set if the TCM senses any switch open or closed at the
wrong time in a given gear.

OPERATION
At key-on, overdrive operation is allowed. Pressing the switch once causes the tow/haul overdrive
OFF mode to be entered and the Tow/Haul lamp to be illuminated. Pressing the switch a second
time causes normal overdrive operation to be restored and the tow/haul lamp to be turned off. The
tow/haul overdrive OFF mode defaults to ON after the ignition switch is cycled OFF and ON. The
normal position for the control switch is the ON position. The switch must be in this position to
energize the solenoid and allow a 3-4 upshift. The control switch indicator light illuminates only
when the tow/haul overdrive switch is turned to the OFF position, or when illuminated by the
transmission control module.

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

> Control Module, A/T > Component Information > Description and Operation > Description > Page 5807
An important function of the TCM is to monitor Clutch Volume Indexes (CVI). CVIs represent the
volume of fluid needed to compress a clutch pack. The TCM monitors gear ratio changes by
monitoring the Input and Output Speed Sensors. The Input, or Turbine Speed Sensor sends an
electrical signal to the TCM that represents input shaft rpm. The Output Speed Sensor provides the
TCM with output shaft speed information.
By comparing the two inputs, the TCM can determine transmission gear position. This is important
to the CVI calculation because the TCM determines CVIs by monitoring how long it takes for a gear
change to occur.
Gear ratios can be determined by using the Scan Tool and reading the Input/Output Speed Sensor
values in the "Monitors" display. Gear ratio can be obtained by dividing the Input Speed Sensor
value by the Output Speed Sensor value.
For example, if the input shaft is rotating at 1000 rpm and the output shaft is rotating at 500 rpm,
then the TCM can determine that the gear ratio is 2:1. In direct drive (3rd gear), the gear ratio
changes to 1:1. The gear ratio changes as clutches are applied and released. By monitoring the
length of time it takes for the gear ratio to change following a shift request, the TCM can determine
the volume of fluid used to apply or release a friction element.
The volume of transmission fluid needed to apply the friction elements are continuously updated for
adaptive controls. As friction material wears, the volume of fluid need to apply the element
increases.
Certain mechanical problems within the input clutch assembly can cause inadequate or
out-of-range element volumes. Also, defective Input/Output Speed Sensors and wiring can cause
these conditions. The following charts identifies the appropriate clutch volumes and when they are
monitored/updated:

> Control Module, A/T > Component Information > Description and Operation > Description > Page 5808
SHIFT SCHEDULES
As mentioned earlier, the TCM has programming that allows it to select a variety of shift schedules.
Shift schedule selection is dependent on the following:
- Shift lever position
- Throttle position
- Engine load
- Fluid temperature
- Software level
As driving conditions change, the TCM appropriately adjusts the shift schedule. Refer to the
following chart to determine the appropriate operation expected, depending on driving conditions.

Transmission Control System Relay: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
When the relay is "off", no power is supplied to the solenoid pack and the transmission is in
"limp-in" mode. After a controller reset, the TCM energizes the relay. Prior to this, the TCM verifies
that the contacts are open by checking for no voltage at the switched battery terminals. After this is
verified, the voltage at the solenoid pack pressure switches is checked. After the relay is energized,
the TCM monitors the terminals to verify that the voltage is greater than 3 volts.

Fluid Pressure Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The TCM utilizes a closed-loop system to control transmission line pressure. The system contains
a variable force style solenoid, the Pressure Control Solenoid, which is part of the pressure switch
assembly. The solenoid is duty cycle controlled by the TCM to vent the unnecessary line pressure
supplied by the oil pump back to the pump inlet. The system contains a Line Pressure Sensor,
which is a direct input to the TCM. The line pressure sensor monitors the transmission line
pressure and completes the feedback loop to the TCM. The TCM uses this information to adjust its
control of the pressure control solenoid to achieve the desired line pressure.

Fluid Pressure Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The TCM calculates the desired line pressure based upon inputs from the transmission and engine.
The TCM calculates the torque input to the transmission and uses that information as the primary
input to the calculation. The line pressure is set to a predetermined value during shifts, to ensure
consistent shift quality. During all other operation, the desired line pressure value is adjusted based
on torque level and other transmission requirements.

OPERATION
At key-on, overdrive operation is allowed. Pressing the switch once causes the tow/haul overdrive
OFF mode to be entered and the Tow/Haul lamp to be illuminated. Pressing the switch a second
time causes normal overdrive operation to be restored and the tow/haul lamp to be turned off. The
tow/haul overdrive OFF mode defaults to ON after the ignition switch is cycled OFF and ON. The
normal position for the control switch is the ON position. The switch must be in this position to
energize the solenoid and allow a 3-4 upshift. The control switch indicator light illuminates only
when the tow/haul overdrive switch is turned to the OFF position, or when illuminated by the
transmission control module.

Shift Solenoid Position Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The transmission solenoid/TRS assembly is internal to the transmission and mounted on the valve
body assembly. The assembly consists of six solenoids that control hydraulic pressure to the six
friction elements (transmission clutches), and the torque converter clutch. The pressure control
solenoid is located on the side of the solenoid/TRS assembly. The solenoid/TRS assembly also
contains the Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) and five pressure switches that feed information to
the TCM.

Shift Solenoid Position Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
SOLENOIDS
Solenoids are used to control the L/R, 2C, 4C, OD, and UD friction elements. The reverse clutch is
controlled by line pressure and the position of the manual valve in the valve body. All the solenoids
are contained within the Solenoid and Pressure Switch Assembly. The solenoid and pressure
switch assembly contains one additional solenoid, Multi-Select (MS), which serves primarily to
provide 2nd and 3rd gear limp-in operation.
The solenoids receive electrical power from the Transmission Control Relay through a single wire.
The TCM energizes or operates the solenoids individually by grounding the return wire of the
solenoid as necessary. When a solenoid is energized, the solenoid valve shifts, and a fluid
passage is opened or closed (vented or applied), depending on its default operating state. The
result is an apply or release of a frictional element.
The MS and UD solenoids are normally applied to allow transmission limp-in in the event of an
electrical failure.
The continuity of the solenoids and circuits are periodically tested. Each solenoid is turned on or off
depending on its current state. An inductive spike should be detected by the TCM during this test. If
no spike is detected, the circuit is tested again to verify the failure. In addition to the periodic
testing, the solenoid circuits are tested if a speed ratio or pressure switch error occurs.
PRESSURE SWITCHES
The TCM relies on five pressure switches to monitor fluid pressure in the L/R, 2C, 4C, UD, and OD
hydraulic circuits. The primary purpose of these switches is to help the TCM detect when clutch
circuit hydraulic failures occur. The switches close at approximately 23 psi and open at
approximately 11 psi, and simply indicate whether or not pressure exists. The switches are
continuously monitored by the TCM for the correct states (open or closed) in each gear as shown
in the following chart:
Pressure Switches
A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set if the TCM senses any switch open or closed at the
wrong time in a given gear.

Transmission Position Switch/Sensor: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) is part of the solenoid module, which is mounted to the top
of the valve body inside the transmission.
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) has five switch contact pins that:
- Determine shift lever position
- Supply ground to the Starter Relay in Park and Neutral only.
- Supply +12 V to the backup lamps in Reverse only.
The TRS also has an integrated temperature sensor (thermistor) that communicates transmission
temperature to the TCM and PCM.

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

Transmission Speed Sensor: Description and Operation Sensor-Input Speed
Description
DESCRIPTION
The Input and Output Speed Sensors are two-wire magnetic pickup devices that generate AC
signals as rotation occurs. They are mounted in the left side of the transmission case and are
considered primary inputs to the Transmission Control Module (TCM).
Operation
OPERATION
The Input Speed Sensor provides information on how fast the input shaft is rotating. As the teeth of
the input clutch hub pass by the sensor coil, an AC voltage is generated and sent to the TCM. The
TCM interprets this information as input shaft rpm.
The Output Speed Sensor generates an AC signal in a similar fashion, though its coil is excited by
rotation of the park gear teeth. The TCM interprets this information as output shaft rpm.
The TCM compares the input and output speed signals to determine the following:
- Transmission gear ratio
- Speed ratio error detection
- CVI calculation
The TCM also compares the input speed signal and the engine speed signal to determine the
following:
- Torque converter clutch slippage
- Torque converter element speed ratio

Shift Solenoid: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The transmission solenoid/TRS assembly is internal to the transmission and mounted on the valve
body assembly. The assembly consists of six solenoids that control hydraulic pressure to the six
friction elements (transmission clutches), and the torque converter clutch. The pressure control
solenoid is located on the side of the solenoid/TRS assembly. The solenoid/TRS assembly also
contains the Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) and five pressure switches that feed information to
the TCM.

Shift Solenoid: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
SOLENOIDS
Solenoids are used to control the L/R, 2C, 4C, OD, and UD friction elements. The reverse clutch is
controlled by line pressure and the position of the manual valve in the valve body. All the solenoids
are contained within the Solenoid and Pressure Switch Assembly. The solenoid and pressure
switch assembly contains one additional solenoid, Multi-Select (MS), which serves primarily to
provide 2nd and 3rd gear limp-in operation.
The solenoids receive electrical power from the Transmission Control Relay through a single wire.
The TCM energizes or operates the solenoids individually by grounding the return wire of the
solenoid as necessary. When a solenoid is energized, the solenoid valve shifts, and a fluid
passage is opened or closed (vented or applied), depending on its default operating state. The
result is an apply or release of a frictional element.
The MS and UD solenoids are normally applied to allow transmission limp-in in the event of an
electrical failure.
The continuity of the solenoids and circuits are periodically tested. Each solenoid is turned on or off
depending on its current state. An inductive spike should be detected by the TCM during this test. If
no spike is detected, the circuit is tested again to verify the failure. In addition to the periodic
testing, the solenoid circuits are tested if a speed ratio or pressure switch error occurs.
PRESSURE SWITCHES
The TCM relies on five pressure switches to monitor fluid pressure in the L/R, 2C, 4C, UD, and OD
hydraulic circuits. The primary purpose of these switches is to help the TCM detect when clutch
circuit hydraulic failures occur. The switches close at approximately 23 psi and open at
approximately 11 psi, and simply indicate whether or not pressure exists. The switches are
continuously monitored by the TCM for the correct states (open or closed) in each gear as shown
in the following chart:
Pressure Switches
A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set if the TCM senses any switch open or closed at the
wrong time in a given gear.

Shift Solenoid Position Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The transmission solenoid/TRS assembly is internal to the transmission and mounted on the valve
body assembly. The assembly consists of six solenoids that control hydraulic pressure to the six
friction elements (transmission clutches), and the torque converter clutch. The pressure control
solenoid is located on the side of the solenoid/TRS assembly. The solenoid/TRS assembly also
contains the Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) and five pressure switches that feed information to
the TCM.

Shift Solenoid Position Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
SOLENOIDS
Solenoids are used to control the L/R, 2C, 4C, OD, and UD friction elements. The reverse clutch is
controlled by line pressure and the position of the manual valve in the valve body. All the solenoids
are contained within the Solenoid and Pressure Switch Assembly. The solenoid and pressure
switch assembly contains one additional solenoid, Multi-Select (MS), which serves primarily to
provide 2nd and 3rd gear limp-in operation.
The solenoids receive electrical power from the Transmission Control Relay through a single wire.
The TCM energizes or operates the solenoids individually by grounding the return wire of the
solenoid as necessary. When a solenoid is energized, the solenoid valve shifts, and a fluid
passage is opened or closed (vented or applied), depending on its default operating state. The
result is an apply or release of a frictional element.
The MS and UD solenoids are normally applied to allow transmission limp-in in the event of an
electrical failure.
The continuity of the solenoids and circuits are periodically tested. Each solenoid is turned on or off
depending on its current state. An inductive spike should be detected by the TCM during this test. If
no spike is detected, the circuit is tested again to verify the failure. In addition to the periodic
testing, the solenoid circuits are tested if a speed ratio or pressure switch error occurs.
PRESSURE SWITCHES
The TCM relies on five pressure switches to monitor fluid pressure in the L/R, 2C, 4C, UD, and OD
hydraulic circuits. The primary purpose of these switches is to help the TCM detect when clutch
circuit hydraulic failures occur. The switches close at approximately 23 psi and open at
approximately 11 psi, and simply indicate whether or not pressure exists. The switches are
continuously monitored by the TCM for the correct states (open or closed) in each gear as shown
in the following chart:
Pressure Switches
A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set if the TCM senses any switch open or closed at the
wrong time in a given gear.

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

Indicator - A/T > Component Information > Description and Operation > Description > Page 5963
Temperature Warning Indicator - A/T: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The transmission over-temperature indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the
transmission fluid temperature is excessive, which may lead to accelerated transmission
component wear or failure. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument cluster
circuit board based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received by the cluster
from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The transmission over-temperature indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by
the instrument cluster logic circuit, and that logic will only allow this indicator to operate when the
instrument cluster receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start)
circuit. Therefore, the LED will always be OFF when the ignition switch is in any position except ON
or START. The LED only illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster
transistor. The instrument cluster will turn ON the transmission over-temperature indicator for the
following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position the transmission
over-temperature indicator is illuminated for about two seconds as a bulb test.
- Trans Over-Temp Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic
trans over-temp indicator lamp-ON message from the PCM indicating that the transmission fluid
temperature is 135° C (275° F) or higher, the indicator will be illuminated and a single chime tone is
sounded. The indicator remains illuminated until the cluster receives a lamp-OFF message from
the PCM, or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first. The chime
tone feature will only repeat during the same ignition cycle if the indicator is cycled OFF and then
ON again by the appropriate lamp-ON and lamp-OFF messages from the PCM.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the transmission
over-temperature indicator will be turned ON, then OFF again during the bulb check portion of the
test to confirm the functionality of the LED and the cluster control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the transmission temperature sensor to determine the transmission
operating condition. The PCM then sends the proper lamp-ON or lamp-OFF message to the
ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC). If the instrument cluster illuminates the transmission
over-temperature indicator due to a high transmission oil temperature condition, it may indicate that
the transmission or the transmission cooling system are being overloaded, or that they require
service. For further diagnosis of the transmission over-temperature indicator or the instrument
cluster circuitry that controls the LED, refer to Instrument Cluster / Carrier testing.
For proper diagnosis of the transmission temperature sensor, the PCM, the EMIC, the CAN data
bus or the electronic communication related to transmission over-temperature indicator operation a
diagnostic scan tool is required. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Torque Converter: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The torque converter is a hydraulic device that couples the engine crankshaft to the transmission.
The torque converter consists of an outer shell with an internal turbine (1), a stator (2), an
overrunning clutch, an impeller (5), and an electronically applied converter clutch (6). The converter
clutch provides reduced engine speed and greater fuel economy when engaged. Clutch
engagement also provides reduced transmission fluid temperatures. The torque converter hub (3)
drives the transmission oil (fluid) pump and contains an O-ring seal (4) to better control oil flow.
The torque converter is a sealed, welded unit that is not repairable and is serviced as an assembly.
CAUTION: The torque converter must be replaced if a transmission failure resulted in large
amounts of metal or fiber contamination in the fluid.
IMPELLER
Impeller
Dodge Durango 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L VIN 2 (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Torque Converter >
Component Information > Description and Operation > Description > Page 5987
The impeller is an integral part of the converter housing. The impeller consists of curved blades
placed radially along the inside of the housing on the transmission side of the converter. As the
converter housing is rotated by the engine, so is the impeller, because they are one and the same
and are the driving members of the system.
TURBINE
Turbine
The turbine is the output, or driven, member of the converter. The turbine is mounted within the
housing opposite the impeller, but is not attached to the housing. The input shaft is inserted
through the center of the impeller and splined into the turbine. The design of the turbine is similar to
the impeller, except the blades of the turbine are curved in the opposite direction.
STATOR
Dodge Durango 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L VIN 2 (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Torque Converter >
Component Information > Description and Operation > Description > Page 5988
The stator assembly is mounted on a stationary shaft which is an integral part of the oil pump. The
stator (1) is located between the impeller (2) and the turbine (4) within the torque converter case.
The stator contains an over-running clutch (1 - 4), which allows the stator to rotate only in a
clockwise direction. When the stator is locked against the over-running clutch, the torque
multiplication feature of the torque converter is operational.
TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH (TCC)
Dodge Durango 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L VIN 2 (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Torque Converter >
Component Information > Description and Operation > Description > Page 5989
The TCC was installed to improve the efficiency of the torque converter that is lost to the slippage
of the fluid coupling. Although the fluid coupling provides smooth, shock-free power transfer, it is
natural for all fluid couplings to slip. If the impeller (3) and turbine (5) were mechanically locked
together, a zero slippage condition could be obtained. A hydraulic piston (6) with friction material
(7) was added to the turbine assembly (5) to provide this mechanical lock-up.
In order to reduce heat build-up in the transmission and buffer the powertrain against torsional
vibrations, the TCM can duty cycle the L/R-CC Solenoid to achieve a smooth application of the
torque converter clutch. This function, referred to as Electronically Modulated Converter Clutch
(EMCC) can occur at various times depending on the following variables:
- Shift lever position
- Current gear range
- Transmission fluid temperature
- Engine coolant temperature
- Input speed
- Throttle angle
- Engine speed

Torque Converter: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
Torque Converter Fluid Operation - Typical
The converter impeller (driving member), which is integral to the converter housing and bolted to
the engine drive plate, rotates at engine speed. The converter turbine (driven member), which
reacts from fluid pressure generated by the impeller, rotates and turns the transmission input shaft.
TURBINE
As the fluid that was put into motion by the impeller blades strikes the blades of the turbine, some
of the energy and rotational force is transferred into the turbine and the input shaft. This causes
both of them (turbine and input shaft) to rotate in a clockwise direction following the impeller. As the
fluid is leaving the trailing edges of the turbine's blades it continues in a "hindering" direction back
toward the impeller. If the fluid is not redirected before it strikes the impeller, it will strike the
impeller in such a direction that it would tend to slow it down.
STATOR
Dodge Durango 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L VIN 2 (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Torque Converter >
Component Information > Description and Operation > Description > Page 5991
Torque multiplication is achieved by locking the stator's over-running clutch to its shaft. Under stall
conditions (the turbine is stationary), the oil leaving the turbine blades strikes the face of the stator
blades and tries to rotate them in a counterclockwise direction. When this happens the
over-running clutch of the stator locks and holds the stator from rotating. With the stator locked, the
oil strikes the stator blades and is redirected into a "helping" direction before it enters the impeller.
This circulation of oil from impeller to turbine, turbine to stator, and stator to impeller, can produce a
maximum torque multiplication of about 2.4:1. As the turbine begins to match the speed of the
impeller, the fluid that was hitting the stator in such as way as to cause it to lock-up is no longer
doing so. In this condition of operation, the stator begins to free wheel and the converter acts as a
fluid coupling.
TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH (TCC)
In a standard torque converter, the impeller and turbine are rotating at about the same speed and
the stator is freewheeling, providing no torque multiplication. By applying the turbine's piston and
friction material to the front cover, a total converter engagement can be obtained. The result of this
engagement is a direct 1:1 mechanical link between the engine and the transmission.
The clutch can be engaged in second, third, and fourth gear ranges depending on overdrive control
switch position. If the overdrive control switch is in the normal ON position, the clutch will engage
after the shift to fourth gear. If the control switch is in the OFF position, the clutch will engage after
the shift to third gear.
The TCM controls the torque converter by way of internal logic software. The programming of the
software provides the TCM with control over the L/R-CC Solenoid. There are four output logic
states that can be applied as follows:
- No EMCC
- Partial EMCC
- Full EMCC
- Gradual-to-no EMCC
NO EMCC
Under No EMCC conditions, the L/R Solenoid is OFF. There are several conditions that can result
in NO EMCC operations. No EMCC can be initiated due to a fault in the transmission or because
the TCM does not see the need for EMCC under current driving conditions.
PARTIAL EMCC
Partial EMCC operation modulates the L/R Solenoid (duty cycle) to obtain partial torque converter
clutch application. Partial EMCC operation is maintained until Full EMCC is called for and actuated.
During Partial EMCC some slip does occur. Partial EMCC will usually occur at low speeds, low
load and light throttle situations.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Torque Converter >
Component Information > Description and Operation > Description > Page 5992
FULL EMCC
During Full EMCC operation, the TCM increases the L/R Solenoid duty cycle to full ON after Partial
EMCC control brings the engine speed within the desired slip range of transmission input speed
relative to engine rpm.
GRADUAL-TO-NO EMCC
This operation is to soften the change from Full or Partial EMCC to No EMCC. This is done at
mid-throttle by decreasing the L/R Solenoid duty cycle.

Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The transmission solenoid/TRS assembly is internal to the transmission and mounted on the valve
body assembly. The assembly consists of six solenoids that control hydraulic pressure to the six
friction elements (transmission clutches), and the torque converter clutch. The pressure control
solenoid is located on the side of the solenoid/TRS assembly. The solenoid/TRS assembly also
contains the Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) and five pressure switches that feed information to
the TCM.

Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
SOLENOIDS
Solenoids are used to control the L/R, 2C, 4C, OD, and UD friction elements. The reverse clutch is
controlled by line pressure and the position of the manual valve in the valve body. All the solenoids
are contained within the Solenoid and Pressure Switch Assembly. The solenoid and pressure
switch assembly contains one additional solenoid, Multi-Select (MS), which serves primarily to
provide 2nd and 3rd gear limp-in operation.
The solenoids receive electrical power from the Transmission Control Relay through a single wire.
The TCM energizes or operates the solenoids individually by grounding the return wire of the
solenoid as necessary. When a solenoid is energized, the solenoid valve shifts, and a fluid
passage is opened or closed (vented or applied), depending on its default operating state. The
result is an apply or release of a frictional element.
The MS and UD solenoids are normally applied to allow transmission limp-in in the event of an
electrical failure.
The continuity of the solenoids and circuits are periodically tested. Each solenoid is turned on or off
depending on its current state. An inductive spike should be detected by the TCM during this test. If
no spike is detected, the circuit is tested again to verify the failure. In addition to the periodic
testing, the solenoid circuits are tested if a speed ratio or pressure switch error occurs.
PRESSURE SWITCHES
The TCM relies on five pressure switches to monitor fluid pressure in the L/R, 2C, 4C, UD, and OD
hydraulic circuits. The primary purpose of these switches is to help the TCM detect when clutch
circuit hydraulic failures occur. The switches close at approximately 23 psi and open at
approximately 11 psi, and simply indicate whether or not pressure exists. The switches are
continuously monitored by the TCM for the correct states (open or closed) in each gear as shown
in the following chart:
Pressure Switches
A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set if the TCM senses any switch open or closed at the
wrong time in a given gear.

OPERATION
When the relay is "off", no power is supplied to the solenoid pack and the transmission is in
"limp-in" mode. After a controller reset, the TCM energizes the relay. Prior to this, the TCM verifies
that the contacts are open by checking for no voltage at the switched battery terminals. After this is
verified, the voltage at the solenoid pack pressure switches is checked. After the relay is energized,
the TCM monitors the terminals to verify that the voltage is greater than 3 volts.

Transmission Position Switch/Sensor: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) is part of the solenoid module, which is mounted to the top
of the valve body inside the transmission.
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) has five switch contact pins that:
- Determine shift lever position
- Supply ground to the Starter Relay in Park and Neutral only.
- Supply +12 V to the backup lamps in Reverse only.
The TRS also has an integrated temperature sensor (thermistor) that communicates transmission
temperature to the TCM and PCM.

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

Transmission Speed Sensor: Description and Operation Sensor-Input Speed
Description
DESCRIPTION
The Input and Output Speed Sensors are two-wire magnetic pickup devices that generate AC
signals as rotation occurs. They are mounted in the left side of the transmission case and are
considered primary inputs to the Transmission Control Module (TCM).
Operation
OPERATION
The Input Speed Sensor provides information on how fast the input shaft is rotating. As the teeth of
the input clutch hub pass by the sensor coil, an AC voltage is generated and sent to the TCM. The
TCM interprets this information as input shaft rpm.
The Output Speed Sensor generates an AC signal in a similar fashion, though its coil is excited by
rotation of the park gear teeth. The TCM interprets this information as output shaft rpm.
The TCM compares the input and output speed signals to determine the following:
- Transmission gear ratio
- Speed ratio error detection
- CVI calculation
The TCM also compares the input speed signal and the engine speed signal to determine the
following:
- Torque converter clutch slippage
- Torque converter element speed ratio

OPERATION
NOTE: Refer to the Hydraulic Schematics for a visual aid in determining valve location, operation
and design.
SOLENOID SWITCH VALVE
The Solenoid Switch Valve (SSV) controls the direction of the transmission fluid when the L/R-TCC
solenoid is energized.
The Solenoid Switch Valve controls line pressure from the LR-TCC solenoid. In 1st gear, the SSV
will be in the downshifted position, thus directing fluid to the L/R clutch circuit. In 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and
fifth gears, the solenoid switch valve will be in the upshifted position and directs the fluid into the
torque converter clutch (TCC) circuit.
When shifting into 1st gear, a special hydraulic sequence is performed to ensure SSV movement
into the downshifted position. The L/R pressure switch is monitored to confirm SSV movement. If
the movement is not confirmed (the L/R pressure switch does not close), 2nd gear is substituted for
1st. A DTC will be set after three unsuccessful attempts are made to get into 1st gear in one given
key start.
MANUAL VALVE
The manual valve is a relay valve. The purpose of the manual valve is to direct fluid to the correct
circuit needed for a specific gear or driving range. The manual valve, as the name implies, is
manually operated by the driver with a lever located on the top of the valve body. The valve is
connected mechanically by a cable to the gearshift mechanism. The valve is held in each of its
positions by a roller detent spring (2) that engages the roostercomb of the TRS selector plate (1).
LOW/REVERSE SWITCH VALVE
The low/reverse switch valve allows the low/reverse clutch to be operated by either the LR/CC
solenoid or the MS solenoid.

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, 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:
The axle fill holes on some Dodge Truck vehicle axles may be located considerably higher than the
actual fluid level. Filling the axle until the fluid comes out of the fill hole will over fill the axle, which
may cause fluid foaming. When checking fluid level or filling a rear axle with fluid, you must
measure the distance from the bottom of the fill hole to the top of the actual fluid level. This can
easily be accomplished using a pipe cleaner or piece of wire. Make a 90 degree bend in the wire 2
inches from the end. The wire can then be inserted into the axle fill hole to use as a dipstick.
Measure the distance from the bend to the oil level. The fluid levels for the axles are shown in the
table below.

SUBJECT: Rear Axle Whine-Like Sound - Only At Vehicle Speeds Greater Than 55 MPH
OVERVIEW: This bulletin involves the installation of a body/frame damper at the C-Pillar.
MODELS:
2004-2007 (HB/HG) Durango/Aspen
SYMPTOM/CONDITION: While driving, the customer may experience an axle whine-like sound
coming from the rear of the vehicle (rear axle). The specific axle whine-like sound will occur when
the rear axle is fully warm and only at vehicle speeds that are greater than 88 Km/h (55 MPH). The
rear axle whine-like sound will occur more frequently during light acceleration (drive side), or while
maintaining vehicle speed (off throttle / coast) driving maneuvers.
This condition may be due to the axle sound being transmitted into the vehicle body through the
C-Pillar body/frame mount.
DIAGNOSIS:
If the above condition is present perform the Repair Procedure.
NOTE:
The Repair Procedure will REDUCE the axle whine-like sound intensity, and only if the condition
occurs when the axle is fully warm and at speeds GREATER THAN 88 km/h (55 MPH).
PARTS REQUIRED:
REPAIR PROCEDURE:
1. Raise the vehicle on a suitable lift.
2. In front of the left rear wheel, locate the left side C-Pillar body mount consisting of: the upper
body-to-frame isolator and the lower rebound isolator.
3. Leaving the original upper and lower C-Pillar body mount isolators in place (these isolators will
not be replaced), remove and discard the C-Pillar body mount isolator fastener (bolt).
4. With the original lower rebound isolator held in its correct position on the vehicle, install the new
damper parts in the following order:
a. Place the two spacers (washers) against the lower side of the lower rebound isolator.
b. Place the mass damper (oriented correctly) against the spacers. The recessed side of the donut
shaped damper will face towards the ground and towards the head of new fastener (bolt head).
c. Place the new longer fastener (bolt) through the mass damper, both spacers, lower rebound
isolator, vehicle frame, upper body-to-frame isolator, and into the body.
5. Verify at all components are installed correctly. If installed correctly the new mount component
order should be from top to bottom: the vehicle

SYMPTOM/CONDITION: While driving, the customer may experience an axle whine-like sound
coming from the rear of the vehicle (rear axle). The specific axle whine-like sound will occur when
the rear axle is fully warm and only at vehicle speeds that are greater than 88 Km/h (55 MPH). The
rear axle whine-like sound will occur more frequently during light acceleration (drive side), or while
maintaining vehicle speed (off throttle I coast) driving maneuvers.
This condition may be due to the axle sound being transmitted into the vehicle body through the
C-Pillar body/frame mount.
DIAGNOSIS:
If the above condition is present perform the Repair Procedure.
NOTE:
The Repair Procedure will REDUCE the axle whine-like sound intensity, and only if the condition
occurs when the axle is fully warm and at speeds GREATER THAN 88 km/h (55 MPH).
PARTS REQUIRED:
REPAIR PROCEDURE:
1. Raise the vehicle on a suitable lift.
2. In front of the left rear wheel, locate the left side C-Pillar body mount consisting of: the upper
body-to-frame isolator and the lower rebound isolator.
3. Leaving the original upper and lower C-Pillar body mount isolators in place (these isolators will
not be replaced), remove and discard the C-Pillar body mount isolator fastener (bolt).
4. With the original lower rebound isolator held in its correct position on the vehicle, install the new
damper parts in the following order:
a. Place the two spacers (washers) against the lower side of the lower rebound isolator.
b. Place the mass damper (oriented correctly) against the spacers. The recessed side of the donut
shaped damper will face towards the ground and towards the head of new fastener (bolt head).
c. Place the new longer fastener (bolt) through the mass damper, both spacers, lower rebound
isolator, vehicle frame, upper body-to-frame isolator, and into the body.

PROPELLER SHAFT
PROPELLER SHAFT VIBRATION
Out-of-round tires or wheels that are out of balance, will cause a low frequency vibration.
Driveline vibration can also be caused by loose or damaged engine mounts.
Propeller shaft vibration increases with vehicle speed. A vibration that occurs at a specific speed
range, is not usually caused by an out of balance propeller shaft. Defective universal joints or an
incorrect propeller shaft angle are usually the cause of such a vibration.

If propeller shaft is suspected of being out of balance, use the following procedure.
NOTE: Indexing propeller shaft 180 degrees relative to the yoke may eliminate some vibrations.
1. Raise and support vehicle. 2. Clean all foreign material from the propeller shaft and universal
joints. 3. Inspect propeller shaft for missing balance weights, broken welds and bent areas. If
propeller shaft is bent, it must be replaced. 4. Inspect universal joints for wear and properly
installed. 5. Check propeller shaft bolt torques. 6. Remove wheels and install lug nuts to retain
brake rotors. 7. Mark and number the shaft six inches from the pinion yoke end at four positions 90
degrees apart. 8. Run and accelerate vehicle until vibration occurs. Note the intensity and speed
the vibration occurred. Stop the engine. 9. Install a screw clamp at position (1).
10. Start engine and check vibration. If there is little or no change move the clamp to the next
positions. Repeat the vibration test.
NOTE: If there is no difference in vibration at this positions, the vibration may not be the propeller
shaft.
11. If vibration decreased, install a second clamp (1) and repeat the test.

12. If additional clamp causes an additional vibration, separate the clamps 1/2 inch (1) above and
below the mark. Repeat the vibration test. 13. Increase distance between the clamp screws (1) (2)
and repeat test, until the least amount of vibration is noticed. Bend the slack end of the clamps
so screws will not loosen.
14. If vibration remains unacceptable, repeat the procedure to the front end of the propeller shaft.
15. Install wheels and lower vehicle.

Drive/Propeller Shaft: Testing and Inspection Standard Procedure
PROPELLER SHAFT ANGLE
NOTE: This procedure applies to the front and rear propeller shaft.
1. Raise and support vehicle at the axles as level as possible, allowing wheels and propeller shaft
to turn. 2. Remove universal joint snap rings if equipped, so inclinometer base will sit flat. 3. Rotate
shaft until transmission/transfer case output yoke bearing cap is facing downward.
NOTE: Always make measurements from front to rear and from the same side of the vehicle.
4. Place Inclinometer 7663 on yoke bearing cap or pinion flange ring, parallel to the shaft. Center
bubble in sight glass and record measurement (A).
This measurement will give you the transmission or Output Yoke Angle (A).
5. Rotate propeller shaft 90 degrees and place Inclinometer 7663 on yoke bearing cap parallel to
the shaft. Center bubble in sight glass and record
measurement (C). This measurement can also be taken at the rear end of the shaft.
This measurement will give you the propeller shaft angle (C).

6. Subtract smaller figure from larger (C minus A) to obtain transmission output operating angle. 7.
Rotate propeller shaft 90 degrees and place Inclinometer 7663 on pinion yoke bearing cap parallel
to the shaft. Center bubble in sight glass and
record measurement (B).
This measurement will give you the pinion shaft or input yoke angle (B).
8. Subtract smaller figure from larger (C minus B) to obtain axle Input Operating Angle.
PROPELLER SHAFT ANGLE RULES
- Good cancellation of U-joint operating angles is within 1 degree.
- Operating angles less than 3 degrees.
- At least 1/2 of one degree continuous operating (propeller shaft) angle.

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

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

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

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

DESCRIPTION
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) is a sub-module within the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). The PCM is located on the right inner fender.
Dodge Durango 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L VIN 2 (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Relays and Modules - Transmission and Drivetrain > Relays
and Modules - A/T > Control Module, A/T > Component Information > Description and Operation > Description > Page 6240
Control Module: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) controls all electronic operations of the transmission. The
TCM receives information regarding vehicle operation from both direct and indirect inputs, and
selects the operational mode of the transmission. Direct inputs are hard wired to, and used
specifically by the TCM. Indirect inputs are shared with the TCM via the vehicle communication
bus.
Some examples of direct inputs to the TCM are:
- Battery (B+) voltage
- Ignition "ON" voltage
- Transmission Control Relay (Switched B+) (if equipped)
- Throttle Position Sensor
- Crankshaft Position Sensor
- Transmission Range Sensor
- Pressure Switches
- Transmission Temperature Sensor
- Input Shaft Speed Sensor
- Output Shaft Speed Sensor
- Line Pressure Sensor
Some examples of indirect inputs to the TCM are:
- Engine/Body Identification
- Manifold Pressure
- Target Idle
- Torque Reduction Confirmation
- Engine Coolant Temperature
- Ambient/Battery Temperature
- Scan Tool Communication
Based on the information received from these various inputs, the TCM determines the appropriate
shift schedule and shift points, depending on the present operating conditions and driver demand.
This is possible through the control of various direct and indirect outputs.
Some examples of TCM direct outputs are:
- Transmission Control Relay
- Solenoids
- Torque Reduction Request
Some examples of TCM indirect outputs are:
- Transmission Temperature (to PCM)
- PRNDL Position (to cluster/CCN)
In addition to monitoring inputs and controlling outputs, the TCM has other important
responsibilities and functions:
- Storing and maintaining Clutch Volume Indexes (CVI)
- Storing and selecting appropriate Shift Schedules
- System self-diagnostics
- Diagnostic capabilities (with scan tool)
NOTE: If the TCM has been replaced, the "Quick Learn Procedure" must be performed.
BATTERY FEED
A fused, direct battery feed to the TCM is used for continuous power. This battery voltage is
necessary to retain memory in the TCM. When the battery (B+) is disconnected, this memory is
lost. When the battery (B+) is restored, this memory loss is detected by the TCM and a Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) is set.
CLUTCH VOLUME INDEXES (CVI)
Dodge Durango 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L VIN 2 (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Relays and Modules - Transmission and Drivetrain > Relays
and Modules - A/T > Control Module, A/T > Component Information > Description and Operation > Description > Page 6241
An important function of the TCM is to monitor Clutch Volume Indexes (CVI). CVIs represent the
volume of fluid needed to compress a clutch pack. The TCM monitors gear ratio changes by
monitoring the Input and Output Speed Sensors. The Input, or Turbine Speed Sensor sends an
electrical signal to the TCM that represents input shaft rpm. The Output Speed Sensor provides the
TCM with output shaft speed information.
By comparing the two inputs, the TCM can determine transmission gear position. This is important
to the CVI calculation because the TCM determines CVIs by monitoring how long it takes for a gear
change to occur.
Gear ratios can be determined by using the Scan Tool and reading the Input/Output Speed Sensor
values in the "Monitors" display. Gear ratio can be obtained by dividing the Input Speed Sensor
value by the Output Speed Sensor value.
For example, if the input shaft is rotating at 1000 rpm and the output shaft is rotating at 500 rpm,
then the TCM can determine that the gear ratio is 2:1. In direct drive (3rd gear), the gear ratio
changes to 1:1. The gear ratio changes as clutches are applied and released. By monitoring the
length of time it takes for the gear ratio to change following a shift request, the TCM can determine
the volume of fluid used to apply or release a friction element.
The volume of transmission fluid needed to apply the friction elements are continuously updated for
adaptive controls. As friction material wears, the volume of fluid need to apply the element
increases.
Certain mechanical problems within the input clutch assembly can cause inadequate or
out-of-range element volumes. Also, defective Input/Output Speed Sensors and wiring can cause
these conditions. The following charts identifies the appropriate clutch volumes and when they are
monitored/updated:

and Modules - A/T > Control Module, A/T > Component Information > Description and Operation > Description > Page 6242
SHIFT SCHEDULES
As mentioned earlier, the TCM has programming that allows it to select a variety of shift schedules.
Shift schedule selection is dependent on the following:
- Shift lever position
- Throttle position
- Engine load
- Fluid temperature
- Software level
As driving conditions change, the TCM appropriately adjusts the shift schedule. Refer to the
following chart to determine the appropriate operation expected, depending on driving conditions.

Transmission Control System Relay: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
When the relay is "off", no power is supplied to the solenoid pack and the transmission is in
"limp-in" mode. After a controller reset, the TCM energizes the relay. Prior to this, the TCM verifies
that the contacts are open by checking for no voltage at the switched battery terminals. After this is
verified, the voltage at the solenoid pack pressure switches is checked. After the relay is energized,
the TCM monitors the terminals to verify that the voltage is greater than 3 volts.

Fluid Pressure Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The TCM utilizes a closed-loop system to control transmission line pressure. The system contains
a variable force style solenoid, the Pressure Control Solenoid, which is part of the pressure switch
assembly. The solenoid is duty cycle controlled by the TCM to vent the unnecessary line pressure
supplied by the oil pump back to the pump inlet. The system contains a Line Pressure Sensor,
which is a direct input to the TCM. The line pressure sensor monitors the transmission line
pressure and completes the feedback loop to the TCM. The TCM uses this information to adjust its
control of the pressure control solenoid to achieve the desired line pressure.

Fluid Pressure Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The TCM calculates the desired line pressure based upon inputs from the transmission and engine.
The TCM calculates the torque input to the transmission and uses that information as the primary
input to the calculation. The line pressure is set to a predetermined value during shifts, to ensure
consistent shift quality. During all other operation, the desired line pressure value is adjusted based
on torque level and other transmission requirements.

Overdrive Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
At key-on, overdrive operation is allowed. Pressing the switch once causes the tow/haul overdrive
OFF mode to be entered and the Tow/Haul lamp to be illuminated. Pressing the switch a second
time causes normal overdrive operation to be restored and the tow/haul lamp to be turned off. The
tow/haul overdrive OFF mode defaults to ON after the ignition switch is cycled OFF and ON. The
normal position for the control switch is the ON position. The switch must be in this position to
energize the solenoid and allow a 3-4 upshift. The control switch indicator light illuminates only
when the tow/haul overdrive switch is turned to the OFF position, or when illuminated by the
transmission control module.

Shift Solenoid Position Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The transmission solenoid/TRS assembly is internal to the transmission and mounted on the valve
body assembly. The assembly consists of six solenoids that control hydraulic pressure to the six
friction elements (transmission clutches), and the torque converter clutch. The pressure control
solenoid is located on the side of the solenoid/TRS assembly. The solenoid/TRS assembly also
contains the Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) and five pressure switches that feed information to
the TCM.

Shift Solenoid Position Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
SOLENOIDS
Solenoids are used to control the L/R, 2C, 4C, OD, and UD friction elements. The reverse clutch is
controlled by line pressure and the position of the manual valve in the valve body. All the solenoids
are contained within the Solenoid and Pressure Switch Assembly. The solenoid and pressure
switch assembly contains one additional solenoid, Multi-Select (MS), which serves primarily to
provide 2nd and 3rd gear limp-in operation.
The solenoids receive electrical power from the Transmission Control Relay through a single wire.
The TCM energizes or operates the solenoids individually by grounding the return wire of the
solenoid as necessary. When a solenoid is energized, the solenoid valve shifts, and a fluid
passage is opened or closed (vented or applied), depending on its default operating state. The
result is an apply or release of a frictional element.
The MS and UD solenoids are normally applied to allow transmission limp-in in the event of an
electrical failure.
The continuity of the solenoids and circuits are periodically tested. Each solenoid is turned on or off
depending on its current state. An inductive spike should be detected by the TCM during this test. If
no spike is detected, the circuit is tested again to verify the failure. In addition to the periodic
testing, the solenoid circuits are tested if a speed ratio or pressure switch error occurs.
PRESSURE SWITCHES
The TCM relies on five pressure switches to monitor fluid pressure in the L/R, 2C, 4C, UD, and OD
hydraulic circuits. The primary purpose of these switches is to help the TCM detect when clutch
circuit hydraulic failures occur. The switches close at approximately 23 psi and open at
approximately 11 psi, and simply indicate whether or not pressure exists. The switches are
continuously monitored by the TCM for the correct states (open or closed) in each gear as shown
in the following chart:
Pressure Switches
A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set if the TCM senses any switch open or closed at the
wrong time in a given gear.

Transmission Position Switch/Sensor: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) is part of the solenoid module, which is mounted to the top
of the valve body inside the transmission.
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) has five switch contact pins that:
- Determine shift lever position
- Supply ground to the Starter Relay in Park and Neutral only.
- Supply +12 V to the backup lamps in Reverse only.
The TRS also has an integrated temperature sensor (thermistor) that communicates transmission
temperature to the TCM and PCM.

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

Transmission Speed Sensor: Description and Operation Sensor-Input Speed
Description
DESCRIPTION
The Input and Output Speed Sensors are two-wire magnetic pickup devices that generate AC
signals as rotation occurs. They are mounted in the left side of the transmission case and are
considered primary inputs to the Transmission Control Module (TCM).
Operation
OPERATION
The Input Speed Sensor provides information on how fast the input shaft is rotating. As the teeth of
the input clutch hub pass by the sensor coil, an AC voltage is generated and sent to the TCM. The
TCM interprets this information as input shaft rpm.
The Output Speed Sensor generates an AC signal in a similar fashion, though its coil is excited by
rotation of the park gear teeth. The TCM interprets this information as output shaft rpm.
The TCM compares the input and output speed signals to determine the following:
- Transmission gear ratio
- Speed ratio error detection
- CVI calculation
The TCM also compares the input speed signal and the engine speed signal to determine the
following:
- Torque converter clutch slippage
- Torque converter element speed ratio

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.

Overdrive Solenoid: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The transmission solenoid/TRS assembly is internal to the transmission and mounted on the valve
body assembly. The assembly consists of six solenoids that control hydraulic pressure to the six
friction elements (transmission clutches), and the torque converter clutch. The pressure control
solenoid is located on the side of the solenoid/TRS assembly. The solenoid/TRS assembly also
contains the Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) and five pressure switches that feed information to
the TCM.

Overdrive Solenoid: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
SOLENOIDS
Solenoids are used to control the L/R, 2C, 4C, OD, and UD friction elements. The reverse clutch is
controlled by line pressure and the position of the manual valve in the valve body. All the solenoids
are contained within the Solenoid and Pressure Switch Assembly. The solenoid and pressure
switch assembly contains one additional solenoid, Multi-Select (MS), which serves primarily to
provide 2nd and 3rd gear limp-in operation.
The solenoids receive electrical power from the Transmission Control Relay through a single wire.
The TCM energizes or operates the solenoids individually by grounding the return wire of the
solenoid as necessary. When a solenoid is energized, the solenoid valve shifts, and a fluid
passage is opened or closed (vented or applied), depending on its default operating state. The
result is an apply or release of a frictional element.
The MS and UD solenoids are normally applied to allow transmission limp-in in the event of an
electrical failure.
The continuity of the solenoids and circuits are periodically tested. Each solenoid is turned on or off
depending on its current state. An inductive spike should be detected by the TCM during this test. If
no spike is detected, the circuit is tested again to verify the failure. In addition to the periodic
testing, the solenoid circuits are tested if a speed ratio or pressure switch error occurs.
PRESSURE SWITCHES
The TCM relies on five pressure switches to monitor fluid pressure in the L/R, 2C, 4C, UD, and OD
hydraulic circuits. The primary purpose of these switches is to help the TCM detect when clutch
circuit hydraulic failures occur. The switches close at approximately 23 psi and open at
approximately 11 psi, and simply indicate whether or not pressure exists. The switches are
continuously monitored by the TCM for the correct states (open or closed) in each gear as shown
in the following chart:
Pressure Switches
A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set if the TCM senses any switch open or closed at the
wrong time in a given gear.

Pressure Regulating Solenoid: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The transmission solenoid/TRS assembly is internal to the transmission and mounted on the valve
body assembly. The assembly consists of six solenoids that control hydraulic pressure to the six
friction elements (transmission clutches), and the torque converter clutch. The pressure control
solenoid is located on the side of the solenoid/TRS assembly. The solenoid/TRS assembly also
contains the Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) and five pressure switches that feed information to
the TCM.

Pressure Regulating Solenoid: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
SOLENOIDS
Solenoids are used to control the L/R, 2C, 4C, OD, and UD friction elements. The reverse clutch is
controlled by line pressure and the position of the manual valve in the valve body. All the solenoids
are contained within the Solenoid and Pressure Switch Assembly. The solenoid and pressure
switch assembly contains one additional solenoid, Multi-Select (MS), which serves primarily to
provide 2nd and 3rd gear limp-in operation.
The solenoids receive electrical power from the Transmission Control Relay through a single wire.
The TCM energizes or operates the solenoids individually by grounding the return wire of the
solenoid as necessary. When a solenoid is energized, the solenoid valve shifts, and a fluid
passage is opened or closed (vented or applied), depending on its default operating state. The
result is an apply or release of a frictional element.
The MS and UD solenoids are normally applied to allow transmission limp-in in the event of an
electrical failure.
The continuity of the solenoids and circuits are periodically tested. Each solenoid is turned on or off
depending on its current state. An inductive spike should be detected by the TCM during this test. If
no spike is detected, the circuit is tested again to verify the failure. In addition to the periodic
testing, the solenoid circuits are tested if a speed ratio or pressure switch error occurs.
PRESSURE SWITCHES
The TCM relies on five pressure switches to monitor fluid pressure in the L/R, 2C, 4C, UD, and OD
hydraulic circuits. The primary purpose of these switches is to help the TCM detect when clutch
circuit hydraulic failures occur. The switches close at approximately 23 psi and open at
approximately 11 psi, and simply indicate whether or not pressure exists. The switches are
continuously monitored by the TCM for the correct states (open or closed) in each gear as shown
in the following chart:
Pressure Switches
A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set if the TCM senses any switch open or closed at the
wrong time in a given gear.

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

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

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

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

Control Module: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) is a sub-module within the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). The PCM is located on the right inner fender.

Operation > Description > Page 6437
Control Module: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) controls all electronic operations of the transmission. The
TCM receives information regarding vehicle operation from both direct and indirect inputs, and
selects the operational mode of the transmission. Direct inputs are hard wired to, and used
specifically by the TCM. Indirect inputs are shared with the TCM via the vehicle communication
bus.
Some examples of direct inputs to the TCM are:
- Battery (B+) voltage
- Ignition "ON" voltage
- Transmission Control Relay (Switched B+) (if equipped)
- Throttle Position Sensor
- Crankshaft Position Sensor
- Transmission Range Sensor
- Pressure Switches
- Transmission Temperature Sensor
- Input Shaft Speed Sensor
- Output Shaft Speed Sensor
- Line Pressure Sensor
Some examples of indirect inputs to the TCM are:
- Engine/Body Identification
- Manifold Pressure
- Target Idle
- Torque Reduction Confirmation
- Engine Coolant Temperature
- Ambient/Battery Temperature
- Scan Tool Communication
Based on the information received from these various inputs, the TCM determines the appropriate
shift schedule and shift points, depending on the present operating conditions and driver demand.
This is possible through the control of various direct and indirect outputs.
Some examples of TCM direct outputs are:
- Transmission Control Relay
- Solenoids
- Torque Reduction Request
Some examples of TCM indirect outputs are:
- Transmission Temperature (to PCM)
- PRNDL Position (to cluster/CCN)
In addition to monitoring inputs and controlling outputs, the TCM has other important
responsibilities and functions:
- Storing and maintaining Clutch Volume Indexes (CVI)
- Storing and selecting appropriate Shift Schedules
- System self-diagnostics
- Diagnostic capabilities (with scan tool)
NOTE: If the TCM has been replaced, the "Quick Learn Procedure" must be performed.
BATTERY FEED
A fused, direct battery feed to the TCM is used for continuous power. This battery voltage is
necessary to retain memory in the TCM. When the battery (B+) is disconnected, this memory is
lost. When the battery (B+) is restored, this memory loss is detected by the TCM and a Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) is set.
CLUTCH VOLUME INDEXES (CVI)
Dodge Durango 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L VIN 2 (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Transmission Control Systems > Relays and Modules Transmission and Drivetrain > Relays and Modules - A/T > Control Module, A/T > Component Information > Description and
Operation > Description > Page 6438
An important function of the TCM is to monitor Clutch Volume Indexes (CVI). CVIs represent the
volume of fluid needed to compress a clutch pack. The TCM monitors gear ratio changes by
monitoring the Input and Output Speed Sensors. The Input, or Turbine Speed Sensor sends an
electrical signal to the TCM that represents input shaft rpm. The Output Speed Sensor provides the
TCM with output shaft speed information.
By comparing the two inputs, the TCM can determine transmission gear position. This is important
to the CVI calculation because the TCM determines CVIs by monitoring how long it takes for a gear
change to occur.
Gear ratios can be determined by using the Scan Tool and reading the Input/Output Speed Sensor
values in the "Monitors" display. Gear ratio can be obtained by dividing the Input Speed Sensor
value by the Output Speed Sensor value.
For example, if the input shaft is rotating at 1000 rpm and the output shaft is rotating at 500 rpm,
then the TCM can determine that the gear ratio is 2:1. In direct drive (3rd gear), the gear ratio
changes to 1:1. The gear ratio changes as clutches are applied and released. By monitoring the
length of time it takes for the gear ratio to change following a shift request, the TCM can determine
the volume of fluid used to apply or release a friction element.
The volume of transmission fluid needed to apply the friction elements are continuously updated for
adaptive controls. As friction material wears, the volume of fluid need to apply the element
increases.
Certain mechanical problems within the input clutch assembly can cause inadequate or
out-of-range element volumes. Also, defective Input/Output Speed Sensors and wiring can cause
these conditions. The following charts identifies the appropriate clutch volumes and when they are
monitored/updated:

Operation > Description > Page 6439
SHIFT SCHEDULES
As mentioned earlier, the TCM has programming that allows it to select a variety of shift schedules.
Shift schedule selection is dependent on the following:
- Shift lever position
- Throttle position
- Engine load
- Fluid temperature
- Software level
As driving conditions change, the TCM appropriately adjusts the shift schedule. Refer to the
following chart to determine the appropriate operation expected, depending on driving conditions.

Transmission Control System Relay: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The relay is supplied fused B+ voltage, energized by the TCM, and is used to supply power to the
solenoid pack when the transmission is in normal operating mode.

Transmission Control System Relay: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
When the relay is "off", no power is supplied to the solenoid pack and the transmission is in
"limp-in" mode. After a controller reset, the TCM energizes the relay. Prior to this, the TCM verifies
that the contacts are open by checking for no voltage at the switched battery terminals. After this is
verified, the voltage at the solenoid pack pressure switches is checked. After the relay is energized,
the TCM monitors the terminals to verify that the voltage is greater than 3 volts.

Fluid Pressure Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The TCM utilizes a closed-loop system to control transmission line pressure. The system contains
a variable force style solenoid, the Pressure Control Solenoid, which is part of the pressure switch
assembly. The solenoid is duty cycle controlled by the TCM to vent the unnecessary line pressure
supplied by the oil pump back to the pump inlet. The system contains a Line Pressure Sensor,
which is a direct input to the TCM. The line pressure sensor monitors the transmission line
pressure and completes the feedback loop to the TCM. The TCM uses this information to adjust its
control of the pressure control solenoid to achieve the desired line pressure.

Fluid Pressure Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The TCM calculates the desired line pressure based upon inputs from the transmission and engine.
The TCM calculates the torque input to the transmission and uses that information as the primary
input to the calculation. The line pressure is set to a predetermined value during shifts, to ensure
consistent shift quality. During all other operation, the desired line pressure value is adjusted based
on torque level and other transmission requirements.

Overdrive Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
At key-on, overdrive operation is allowed. Pressing the switch once causes the tow/haul overdrive
OFF mode to be entered and the Tow/Haul lamp to be illuminated. Pressing the switch a second
time causes normal overdrive operation to be restored and the tow/haul lamp to be turned off. The
tow/haul overdrive OFF mode defaults to ON after the ignition switch is cycled OFF and ON. The
normal position for the control switch is the ON position. The switch must be in this position to
energize the solenoid and allow a 3-4 upshift. The control switch indicator light illuminates only
when the tow/haul overdrive switch is turned to the OFF position, or when illuminated by the
transmission control module.

Shift Solenoid Position Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
SOLENOIDS
Solenoids are used to control the L/R, 2C, 4C, OD, and UD friction elements. The reverse clutch is
controlled by line pressure and the position of the manual valve in the valve body. All the solenoids
are contained within the Solenoid and Pressure Switch Assembly. The solenoid and pressure
switch assembly contains one additional solenoid, Multi-Select (MS), which serves primarily to
provide 2nd and 3rd gear limp-in operation.
The solenoids receive electrical power from the Transmission Control Relay through a single wire.
The TCM energizes or operates the solenoids individually by grounding the return wire of the
solenoid as necessary. When a solenoid is energized, the solenoid valve shifts, and a fluid
passage is opened or closed (vented or applied), depending on its default operating state. The
result is an apply or release of a frictional element.
The MS and UD solenoids are normally applied to allow transmission limp-in in the event of an
electrical failure.
The continuity of the solenoids and circuits are periodically tested. Each solenoid is turned on or off
depending on its current state. An inductive spike should be detected by the TCM during this test. If
no spike is detected, the circuit is tested again to verify the failure. In addition to the periodic
testing, the solenoid circuits are tested if a speed ratio or pressure switch error occurs.
PRESSURE SWITCHES
The TCM relies on five pressure switches to monitor fluid pressure in the L/R, 2C, 4C, UD, and OD
hydraulic circuits. The primary purpose of these switches is to help the TCM detect when clutch
circuit hydraulic failures occur. The switches close at approximately 23 psi and open at
approximately 11 psi, and simply indicate whether or not pressure exists. The switches are
continuously monitored by the TCM for the correct states (open or closed) in each gear as shown
in the following chart:
Pressure Switches
A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set if the TCM senses any switch open or closed at the
wrong time in a given gear.

Transmission Position Switch/Sensor: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) is part of the solenoid module, which is mounted to the top
of the valve body inside the transmission.
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) has five switch contact pins that:
- Determine shift lever position
- Supply ground to the Starter Relay in Park and Neutral only.
- Supply +12 V to the backup lamps in Reverse only.
The TRS also has an integrated temperature sensor (thermistor) that communicates transmission
temperature to the TCM and PCM.

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

DESCRIPTION
The Input and Output Speed Sensors are two-wire magnetic pickup devices that generate AC
signals as rotation occurs. They are mounted in the left side of the transmission case and are
considered primary inputs to the Transmission Control Module (TCM).
Operation
OPERATION
The Input Speed Sensor provides information on how fast the input shaft is rotating. As the teeth of
the input clutch hub pass by the sensor coil, an AC voltage is generated and sent to the TCM. The
TCM interprets this information as input shaft rpm.
The Output Speed Sensor generates an AC signal in a similar fashion, though its coil is excited by
rotation of the park gear teeth. The TCM interprets this information as output shaft rpm.
The TCM compares the input and output speed signals to determine the following:
- Transmission gear ratio
- Speed ratio error detection
- CVI calculation
The TCM also compares the input speed signal and the engine speed signal to determine the
following:
- Torque converter clutch slippage
- Torque converter element speed ratio

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

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

ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL
The Antilock Brake Module (ABM) is a microprocessor which handles testing, monitoring and
controlling the ABS brake system operation.
The ABM is mounted on the top of the hydraulic control unit (HCU). The ABM operates the ABS
system and is separate from other vehicle electrical circuits. ABM voltage source is through CKT
A111 (fused B+).
NOTE: If the ABM needs to be replaced, Perform the ABS verification using a scan tool.

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

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

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

Assist System Indicator
Description
DESCRIPTION
An Electronic Stability Program/Brake Assist System (ESP/BAS) indicator is standard equipment
on all instrument clusters. This indicator is located in the center of the speedometer, in the area
below and to the left of the speedometer needle hub.
The ESP/BAS indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the text ESP BAS in the opaque layer of
the instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being
clearly visible when it is not illuminated. An amber Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in
the opaque layer of the overlay causes the indicator to appear in amber through the translucent
outer layer of the overlay when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the
instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
The ESP/BAS indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.
Operation
OPERATION
The ESP/BAS indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when a problem has been
detected in the Electronic Stability Program (ESP)/Brake Assist System (BAS). This indicator is
controlled by a transistor on the instrument cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming
and electronic messages received by the cluster from the Controller Antilock Brake (CAB) and the
Front Control Module (FCM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The ESP/BAS indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument
cluster logic circuit, and that logic will only allow this indicator to operate when the instrument
cluster receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit.
Therefore, the LED will always be OFF when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or
START. The LED only illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster
transistor. The instrument cluster will turn ON the ESP/BAS indicator for the following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position the ESP/BAS indicator is
illuminated for about four seconds as a bulb test.
- ESP/BAS Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic ESP/BAS
indicator lamp-ON message from the CAB or the FCM, the ESP/BAS indicator will be illuminated.
The indicator remains illuminated until the cluster receives a lamp-OFF message from the CAB or
FCM, or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the ESP/BAS indicator will
be turned ON, then OFF again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality
of the LED and the cluster control circuitry.
The CAB and FCM continually monitor the ESP/BAS system circuits and sensors to decide
whether the system is in good operating condition and the proper outputs to the components of the
system. The CAB or FCM then sends the proper lamp-ON or lamp-OFF message to the
ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC).
For proper diagnosis of the ESP/BAS system, the CAB, the FCM, the EMIC, the CAN data bus or
the electronic communication related to ESP/BAS

- Traction Control Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic
traction control indicator lamp-ON message from the CAB indicating that the ESP/BAS/TCS has

The CAB continually monitors the status of the inputs to the ESP/BAS/TCS systems to determine
the proper outputs to the components of the Antilock Brake System (ABS). The CAB then sends
the proper lamp-ON or lamp-OFF message to the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC).

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

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

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

BRAKE INDICATOR
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the
supplemental restraint system before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat
belt tensioner, impact sensor, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and
isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to
discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the
supplemental restraint system. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental
airbag deployment.
The hard wired park brake switch input to the EMIC may be diagnosed using conventional
diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wiring information
includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector repair procedures, details of wire harness
routing and retention, connector pin-out information and location views for the various wire harness
connectors, splices and grounds.
However, conventional diagnostic methods may not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the EMIC,
the Controller Antilock Brake (CAB), the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus, or the electronic
message inputs also used by the EMIC to provide brake indicator operation. The most reliable,
efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the EMIC, the CAB, the CAN data bus or the electronic
communication related to brake indicator operation requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer
to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Brake Caliper: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The calipers are a single piston type in the rear and dual piston type in the front. The calipers are
free to slide laterally, this allows continuous compensation for lining wear.
Dodge Durango 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L VIN 2 (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Disc Brake System > Brake Caliper > Component Information >
Description and Operation > Description > Page 6666
Brake Caliper: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
When the brakes are applied fluid pressure is exerted against the caliper piston (2). The fluid
pressure is exerted equally and in all directions. This means pressure exerted against the caliper
piston and within the caliper bore will be equal.
Fluid pressure applied to the piston is transmitted directly to the inboard brake pad (5). This forces
the pad lining against the inner surface of the disc brake rotor. At the same time, fluid pressure
within the piston bore forces the caliper to slide inward on the mounting bolts. This action brings the
outboard brake pad lining (6) into contact with the outer surface of the disc brake rotor.
In summary, fluid pressure acting simultaneously on both piston and caliper, produces a strong
clamping action. When sufficient force is applied, friction will attempt to stop the rotors from turning
and bring the vehicle to a stop.
Application and release of the brake pedal generates only a very slight movement of the caliper
and piston. Upon release of the pedal, the caliper and piston return to a rest position. The brake
pads do not retract an appreciable distance from the rotor. In fact, clearance is usually at, or close
to zero. The reasons for this are to keep road debris from getting between the rotor and lining and
in wiping the rotor surface clear each revolution.
The caliper piston seal (4) controls the amount of piston (2) extension needed to compensate for
normal lining wear.
During brake application, the seal is deflected outward by fluid pressure and piston movement(6).
When the brakes (and fluid pressure) are released, the seal relaxes and retracts the piston (3).
The amount of piston retraction is determined by the amount of seal deflection. Generally the
amount is just enough to maintain contact between the piston and inboard brake pad.

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

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

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

Brake Caliper: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The calipers are a single piston type in the rear and dual piston type in the front. The calipers are
free to slide laterally, this allows continuous compensation for lining wear.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Hydraulic System, Brakes > Brake Caliper > Component
Information > Description and Operation > Description > Page 6711
Brake Caliper: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
When the brakes are applied fluid pressure is exerted against the caliper piston (2). The fluid
pressure is exerted equally and in all directions. This means pressure exerted against the caliper
piston and within the caliper bore will be equal.
Fluid pressure applied to the piston is transmitted directly to the inboard brake pad (5). This forces
the pad lining against the inner surface of the disc brake rotor. At the same time, fluid pressure
within the piston bore forces the caliper to slide inward on the mounting bolts. This action brings the
outboard brake pad lining (6) into contact with the outer surface of the disc brake rotor.
In summary, fluid pressure acting simultaneously on both piston and caliper, produces a strong
clamping action. When sufficient force is applied, friction will attempt to stop the rotors from turning
and bring the vehicle to a stop.
Application and release of the brake pedal generates only a very slight movement of the caliper
and piston. Upon release of the pedal, the caliper and piston return to a rest position. The brake
pads do not retract an appreciable distance from the rotor. In fact, clearance is usually at, or close
to zero. The reasons for this are to keep road debris from getting between the rotor and lining and
in wiping the rotor surface clear each revolution.
The caliper piston seal (4) controls the amount of piston (2) extension needed to compensate for
normal lining wear.
During brake application, the seal is deflected outward by fluid pressure and piston movement(6).
When the brakes (and fluid pressure) are released, the seal relaxes and retracts the piston (3).
The amount of piston retraction is determined by the amount of seal deflection. Generally the
amount is just enough to maintain contact between the piston and inboard brake pad.

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

3. Take another piece of wood and pad it with one-inch thickness of shop towels (2). Place this
piece in the outboard shoe side of the caliper in front
of the other piston. This will cushion and protect caliper piston during removal.
4. To remove the caliper piston direct short bursts of low pressure air with a blow gun through the
caliper brake hose port. Use only enough air
pressure to ease the piston out.
CAUTION: Do not blow the piston out of the bore with sustained air pressure. This could result in a
cracked piston.
WARNING: Never attempt to catch the piston as it leaves the bore. This could result in personal
injury.
5. Remove the C-clamp and block of wood from the caliper and clamp it over the dust boot of the

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

Brake Fluid: Description and Operation
BRAKE FLUID
The brake fluid used in this vehicle must conform to DOT 3 specifications and SAE J1703
standards. No other type of brake fluid is recommended or approved for usage in the vehicle brake
system. Use only Mopar brake fluid or an equivalent from a tightly sealed container.
CAUTION: Never use reclaimed brake fluid or fluid from a container which has been left open. An
open container of brake fluid will absorb moisture from the air and contaminate the fluid.
CAUTION: Never use any type of a petroleum-based fluid in the brake hydraulic system. Use of
such type fluids will result in seal damage of the vehicle brake hydraulic system causing a failure of
the vehicle brake system. Petroleum based fluids would be items such as engine oil, transmission
fluid, power steering fluid, etc.

Brake Fluid: Testing and Inspection
BRAKE FLUID CONTAMINATION
Indications of fluid contamination are swollen or deteriorated rubber parts.
Swollen rubber parts indicate the presence of petroleum in the brake fluid.
To test for contamination, put a small amount of drained brake fluid in clear glass jar. If fluid
separates into layers, there is mineral oil or other fluid contamination of the brake fluid.
If brake fluid is contaminated, drain and thoroughly flush system. Replace master cylinder,
proportioning valve, caliper seals, wheel cylinder seals, Antilock Brakes hydraulic unit and all
hydraulic fluid hoses.

Hydraulic Control Assembly - Antilock Brakes: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The HCU consists of a valve body, pump motor, low pressure accumulators, inlet valves, outlet
valves and noise attenuators.
Dodge Durango 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L VIN 2 (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Hydraulic System, Brakes > Hydraulic Control Assembly Antilock Brakes > Component Information > Description and Operation > Description > Page 6756
Hydraulic Control Assembly - Antilock Brakes: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
Accumulators in the valve body store extra fluid released from the calipers during ABS mode
operation. The pump is used to clear the accumulator of brake fluid and is operated by a DC type
motor. The motor is controlled by the ABM. The valves modulate brake pressure during antilock
braking and are controlled by the ABM. The HCU provides individual pressure control to each front
and rear brake.
During antilock braking, the solenoid valves are opened and closed as needed. They are cycled
rapidly and continuously to modulate pressure and control wheel slip and deceleration. Brake
Traction Control and Electronic Stability Program modulate pressure on each wheel individually
without any driver brake input.
During normal braking, the HCU solenoid valves and pump are not activated. The master cylinder
and power booster operate the same as a vehicle without an ABS brake system. During antilock
braking, solenoid valve pressure modulation occurs in three stages; pressure increase, pressure
hold, and pressure decrease. The valves are all contained in the valve body portion of the HCU.
PRESSURE DECREASE
The outlet valve is opened and the inlet valve is closed during the pressure decrease cycle.
A pressure decrease cycle is initiated when speed sensor signals indicate high wheel slip at one or
more wheels. At this point, the ABM closes the inlet then opens the outlet valve, which also opens
the return circuit to the accumulators. Fluid pressure is allowed to bleed off (decrease) as needed
to prevent wheel lock.
Once the period of high wheel slip has ended, the ABM closes the outlet valve and begins a
pressure increase or hold cycle as needed.
PRESSURE HOLD
Both solenoid valves are closed in the pressure hold cycle but only the inlet valve is energized.
Fluid apply pressure in the control channel is maintained at a constant rate. The ABM maintains the
hold cycle until sensor inputs indicate a pressure change is necessary.
PRESSURE INCREASE
The inlet valve is open and the outlet valve is closed during the pressure increase cycle. The
pressure increase cycle is used to reapply thew brakes. This cycle controls re-application of fluid
apply pressure.

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

Brake Master Cylinder: Testing and Inspection
MASTER CYLINDER/POWER BOOSTER
1. Start engine and check booster vacuum hose connections. A hissing noise indicates vacuum
leak. Correct any vacuum leak before proceeding. 2. Stop engine and shift transmission into
Neutral. 3. Pump brake pedal until all vacuum reserve in booster is depleted. 4. Press and hold
brake pedal under light foot pressure. The pedal should hold firm, if the pedal falls away master
cylinder is faulty (internal
leakage).
5. Start engine and note pedal action. It should fall away slightly under light foot pressure then hold
firm. If no pedal action is discernible, power
booster, vacuum supply, or vacuum check valve is faulty. Proceed to the POWER BOOSTER
VACUUM TEST.
6. If the POWER BOOSTER VACUUM TEST passes, rebuild booster vacuum reserve as follows:
Release brake pedal. Increase engine speed to
1500 rpm, close the throttle and immediately turn off ignition to stop engine.
7. Wait a minimum of 90 seconds and try brake action again. Booster should provide two or more
vacuum assisted pedal applications. If vacuum
assist is not provided, booster is faulty.
POWER BOOSTER VACUUM TEST
1. Connect vacuum gauge (6) to booster check valve (4) with short length of hose (3) and T-fitting
(2). 2. Start and run engine at curb idle speed for one minute. 3. Observe the vacuum supply. If
vacuum supply is not adequate, repair vacuum supply. 4. Clamp (1) hose (7) shut between intake
vacuum source (5) and check valve (4). 5. Stop engine and observe vacuum gauge (6). 6. If
vacuum drops more than one inch HG (33 millibars) within 15 seconds, booster diaphragm or
check valve is faulty.
POWER BOOSTER CHECK VALVE TEST
1. Disconnect vacuum hose from check valve (1). 2. Remove check valve (1) and valve seal (2)
from booster (3). 3. Use a hand operated vacuum pump for test. 4. Apply 15-20 inches vacuum at
large end of check valve. 5. Plug off the small end to prevent vacuum leakage.

Inspection - Rear Drum In Hat Brake
INSPECTION - REAR DRUM IN HAT BRAKE
As a general rule, riveted brake shoes (2) should be replaced when worn to within 0.78 mm (1/32
in.) of the rivet heads. Bonded lining should be replaced when worn to a thickness of 1.6 mm (1/16
in.).
Examine the lining contact pattern to determine if the shoes are bent or the drum is tapered. The
lining should exhibit contact across its entire width. Shoes (2) exhibiting contact only on one side
should be replaced and the drum checked for runout or taper.
Inspect the adjuster screw assembly (5). Replace the assembly if the star wheel or threads are
damaged, or the components are severely rusted or corroded.
Discard the brake springs (3) and retainer components (4) if worn, distorted or collapsed. Also
replace the springs if a brake drag condition had occurred. Overheating will distort and weaken the
springs.
Inspect the brake shoe contact pads on the support plate (1), replace the support plate if any of the
pads are worn or rusted through. Also replace the plate (1) if it is bent or distorted.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Starter Relay: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The ISO relay consists of an electromagnetic coil, a resistor or diode, and three (two fixed and one
movable) electrical contacts. The movable (common feed) relay contact is held against one of the
fixed contacts (normally closed) by spring pressure. When electromagnetic coil is energized, it
draws the movable contact away from normally closed fixed contact, and holds it against the other
(normally open) fixed contact.
When electromagnetic coil is de-energized, spring pressure returns movable contact to normally
closed position. The resistor or diode is connected in parallel with electromagnetic coil within relay,
and helps to dissipate voltage spikes produced when coil is de-energized.

Battery Cable: Testing and Inspection
BATTERY CABLES
A voltage drop test will determine if there is excessive resistance in the battery cable terminal
connections or the battery cables. If excessive resistance is found in the battery cable connections,
the connection point should be disassembled, cleaned of all corrosion or foreign material, then
reassembled. Following reassembly, check the voltage drop for the battery cable connection and
the battery cable again to confirm repair.
When performing the voltage drop test, it is important to remember that the voltage drop is giving
an indication of the resistance between the two points at which the voltmeter probes are attached.
EXAMPLE: When testing the resistance of the battery positive cable, touch the voltmeter leads to
the battery positive cable terminal clamp and to the battery positive cable eyelet terminal at the
starter solenoid B(+) terminal stud. If you probe the battery positive terminal post and the battery
positive cable eyelet terminal at the starter solenoid B(+) terminal stud, you are reading the
combined voltage drop in the battery positive cable terminal clamp-to-terminal post connection and
the battery positive cable.
TESTING
VOLTAGE DROP TEST
WARNING: If the battery shows signs of freezing, leaking, loose posts, or low electrolyte level, do
not test, assist-boost, or charge. The battery may arc internally and explode. Personal injury and/or
vehicle damage may result.
WARNING: Explosive hydrogen gas forms in and around the battery. Do not smoke, use flame, or
create sparks near the battery. Personal injury and/or vehicle damage may result.
WARNING: The battery contains sulfuric acid, which is poisonous and caustic. Avoid contact with
the skin, eyes, or clothing. In the event of contact, flush with water and call a physician
immediately. Keep out of the reach of children.
WARNING: If the battery is equipped with removable cell caps, be certain that each of the cell caps
is in place and tight before the battery is returned to service. Personal injury and/or vehicle damage
may result from loose or missing cell caps.
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 tested.
- Fully engage the parking brake.

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 Durango 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L VIN 2 (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Charging System > Alternator > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7035
- 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
The generator is belt-driven by the engine using a serpentine type drive belt. It is serviced only as a
complete assembly. If the generator fails for any reason, the entire assembly must be replaced.

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. Once the generator begins producing sufficient current, it
also provides the current needed to energize the rotor.
The stator winding connections deliver the induced alternating current to 3 positive and 3 negative
diodes for rectification. From the diodes, rectified direct current is delivered to the vehicle electrical
system through the generator battery terminal.
Although the generators appear the same externally, different generators with different output
ratings are used on this vehicle. Be certain that the replacement generator has the same output
rating and part number as the original unit. Refer to Generator Ratings for amperage ratings and
part numbers.
Noise emitting from the generator may be caused by: worn, loose or defective bearings; a loose or
defective drive pulley; incorrect, worn, damaged or misadjusted fan drive belt; loose mounting
bolts; a misaligned drive pulley or a defective stator or diode.

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

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Charging System > Voltage Regulator > Component Information >
Description and Operation > Description > Page 7063
Voltage Regulator: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The amount of DC current produced by the generator is controlled by EVR circuitry contained
within the PCM. This circuitry is connected in series with the generators second rotor field terminal
and its ground.
Voltage is regulated by cycling the ground path to control the strength of the rotor magnetic field.
The EVR circuitry monitors system line voltage (B+) and battery temperature. It then determines a
target charging voltage. If sensed battery voltage is 0.5 volts or lower than the target voltage, the
PCM grounds the field winding until sensed battery voltage is 0.5 volts above target voltage. A
circuit in the PCM cycles the ground side of the generator field up to 100 times per second
(100Hz), but has the capability to ground the field control wire 100% of the time (full field) to
achieve the target voltage. If the charging rate cannot be monitored (limp-in), a duty cycle of 25% is
used by the PCM in order to have some generator output.

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

Description and Operation > Description > Page 7110
Starter Relay: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The ISO relay consists of an electromagnetic coil, a resistor or diode, and three (two fixed and one
movable) electrical contacts. The movable (common feed) relay contact is held against one of the
fixed contacts (normally closed) by spring pressure. When electromagnetic coil is energized, it
draws the movable contact away from normally closed fixed contact, and holds it against the other
(normally open) fixed contact.
When electromagnetic coil is de-energized, spring pressure returns movable contact to normally
closed position. The resistor or diode is connected in parallel with electromagnetic coil within relay,
and helps to dissipate voltage spikes produced when coil is de-energized.

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
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 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.

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7142
- 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. 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.

Fuse: Customer Interest Tire Monitor System - Warning Message/DTC's Set
NUMBER: 22-002-06
GROUP: Tires & Wheels
DATE: July 02, 2006
SUBJECT: Tire Pressure Monitor DIG's Due To The IOD Fuse Not Being Installed
OVERVIEW: This bulletin involves erroneous Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC's) that are caused
when the vehicle is driven without the IOD fuse installed.
MODELS:
2007 HB/HG Durango/Aspen
2007 WK/WH Grand Cherokee
2007 XK/XH Commander
DISCUSSION: The driver may notice that the Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) system is not working
properly.
Whether a premium or base system, the tire pressure monitor warning light in the instrument
cluster may be flashing indicating a TPM SYSTEM problem.
On premium TPM systems, the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) may display a
"SERVICE TIRE PRESS SYSTEM" message. And when stepping through the EVIC to the tire
pressure display, all of the tire pressure readings may display as dashes "- -" rather than actual tire
pressure values.
Investigation by the technician may find the presence of all four TPM related DTC's:
C1501 - Tire Pressure Sensor 1 (L.F.) Internal
C1502 - Tire Pressure Sensor 2 (R.F.) Internal
C1503 - Tire Pressure Sensor 3 (R.R.) Internal
C1504 - Tire Pressure Sensor 4 (L.R.) Internal
The above condition is most likely caused by driving the vehicle without the IOD fuse installed. If
the vehicle is driven at speeds greater than 32 kph (20 mph) for more than approximately ten (10)
minutes without the IOD fuse installed, then the TPM system will log the above four DTC's. This
sceneno is most likely to occur when the vehicle is driven while in dealer inventory.
Without the IOD fuse installed part of the Wireless Control Module (WCM), the receiver circuit, is
not operational (not powered). Though the 1PM tire sensors are powered and transmitting correct
tire pressure signals, the WCM receiver is not receiving those signals.
The portion of the WCM circuitry that is powered, by the ignition on/run feed, sends a CAN
message to the Cabin Control Node (CCN) in the instrument cluster indicating that the TPM tire
pressure signals are not available. On base and premium TPM systems the CCN will flash the tire
pressure monitor warning light, and the powered portion of the WCM will log all four of the above
TPM DTC's as faults with the TPM system. On premium 1PM systems the CCN will also cause the
EVIC to display the "SERVICE TIRE PRESS SYSTEM" message.
For the TPM system to operate correctly the IOD fuse must be installed. A scan tool (StarSCAN(R)
/ StarMOBILE(TM) will be required to erase the four TPM DTC's.

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 Group 30, so it is shown there
complete. It can, however, be shown partially in another group if it contains some associated
wiring.
Splice diagrams show the entire splice and provide references to other sections the splices serves.
Spice Information contains splice diagrams that are not shown in their entirety somewhere else in
the wiring diagrams.
Connector Pin-Outs each connector and the circuits involved with that connector. The connectors
are identified using the name/number on the diagram pages.

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 Durango 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L VIN 2 (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7209
- 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.

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 Group 30, so it is shown there
complete. It can, however, be shown partially in another group if it contains some associated
wiring.
Splice diagrams show the entire splice and provide references to other sections the splices serves.
Spice Information contains splice diagrams that are not shown in their entirety somewhere else in
the wiring diagrams.
Connector Pin-Outs each connector and the circuits involved with that connector. The connectors
are identified using the name/number on the diagram pages.

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.

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 Durango 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L VIN 2 (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse Block > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7257
- 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: Description and Operation Junction Block
Description
DESCRIPTION
An electrical Junction Block (JB) (1) is concealed behind the left outboard end of the instrument
panel cover. The JB combines the functions previously provided by a separate fuseblock module
and relay center, serves to simplify and centralize numerous electrical components, and to
distribute electrical current to many of the accessory systems in the vehicle. It also eliminates the
need for numerous splice connections and serves in place of a bulkhead connector between many
of the engine compartment, instrument panel, and body wire harnesses.
The molded plastic JB housing has integral mounting brackets that are secured with two screws to
the left instrument panel end bracket. The left end of the instrument panel cover has a snap-fit fuse
access panel that can be removed for service of the JB. A fuse puller and spare fuse holders are
located on the back of the fuse access cover, as well as a fuse layout to help ensure proper fuse
identification.
The JB unit cannot be repaired and is only serviced as an assembly. If any internal circuit or the JB
housing is faulty or damaged, the entire JB unit must be replaced.
Operation
OPERATION
All of the circuits entering and leaving the JB do so through wire harness connectors, which are
connected to the JB through integral connector receptacles molded into the JB housing. Internal
connection of all of the JB circuits is accomplished by an intricate combination of hard wiring and
bus bars.

Fuse Block: Description and Operation Power Distribution Center
Description
DESCRIPTION
All of the electrical current distributed throughout this vehicle is directed through the Power
Distribution Center (PDC) (1). The molded plastic PDC housing is located in the left front corner of
the engine compartment, just behind the battery. The PDC houses the generator cartridge fuse and
maxi-type cartridge fuses, which replace all in-line fusible links. The PDC also houses blade-type
fuses, relays, and a fuse puller.
Operation
OPERATION
All of the current from the battery and the generator output enters the PDC through two cables with
eyelets that are secured with nuts to the two B(+) terminal studs located just inside the inboard end
of the PDC housing. The PDC cover is unlatched and removed to access the battery and generator
output connection B(+) terminal studs, the fuses, the relays, the joint connectors and the engine
wire harness in-line connector.

DESCRIPTION
The Integrated Power Module (IPM) is a combination of the Power Distribution Center (PDC) (1)
and the Front Control Module (FCM) (2). The IPM is located in the engine compartment, next to the
battery. The power distribution center mates directly with the (FCM) to form the IPM. The (PDC) is
a printed circuit board based module that contains fuses and relays, while the FCM contains the
electronics controlling the IPM and other functions. The IPM connects directly to the battery
positive via a stud located on top of the unit. The ground connection is via electrical connectors.
The IPM provides the primary means of voltage distribution and protection for the entire vehicle.
Operation
OPERATION
All of the current from the battery and the generator output enters the integrated power module via
a stud on the top of the module. Internal connections of all of the power distribution center circuits
is accomplished by a combination of bus bars and a printed circuit board.

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

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

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. The only reason the IOD fuse
is disconnected is to reduce the normal IOD of the vehicle electrical system during new vehicle
transportation and pre-delivery storage to reduce battery depletion, while still allowing vehicle
operation so that the vehicle can be loaded, unloaded and moved as needed.
The IOD fuse is disconnected from Integrated Power Module when the vehicle is shipped from the
assembly plant. Dealer personnel must reconnect the IOD fuse when the vehicle is being prepared
for delivery in order to restore full electrical system operation. Once the vehicle is prepared for
delivery, the IOD function of this fuse becomes transparent and the fuse that has been assigned
the IOD designation becomes another Fused B(+) circuit fuse.
The IOD fuse can be used by the vehicle owner as a convenient means of reducing battery
depletion when a vehicle is to be stored for periods not to exceed about thirty days. However, it
must be remembered that disconnecting the IOD fuse will not eliminate IOD, but only reduce this
normal condition. If a vehicle will be stored for more than about thirty days, the battery negative
cable should be disconnected to eliminate normal IOD; and, the battery should be tested and
recharged at regular intervals during the vehicle storage period to prevent the battery from
becoming discharged or damaged.

Power Distribution Module: Description and Operation Module-Integrated Power
Description
DESCRIPTION
The Integrated Power Module (IPM) is a combination of the Power Distribution Center (PDC) (1)
and the Front Control Module (FCM) (2). The IPM is located in the engine compartment, next to the
battery. The power distribution center mates directly with the (FCM) to form the IPM. The (PDC) is
a printed circuit board based module that contains fuses and relays, while the FCM contains the
electronics controlling the IPM and other functions. The IPM connects directly to the battery
positive via a stud located on top of the unit. The ground connection is via electrical connectors.
The IPM provides the primary means of voltage distribution and protection for the entire vehicle.
Operation
OPERATION
All of the current from the battery and the generator output enters the integrated power module via
a stud on the top of the module. Internal connections of all of the power distribution center circuits
is accomplished by a combination of bus bars and a printed circuit board.

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

Relay Box: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
All of the electrical current distributed throughout this vehicle is directed through the Power
Distribution Center (PDC) (1). The molded plastic PDC housing is located in the left front corner of
the engine compartment, just behind the battery. The PDC houses the generator cartridge fuse and
maxi-type cartridge fuses, which replace all in-line fusible links. The PDC also houses blade-type
fuses, relays, and a fuse puller.

DESCRIPTION
All of the electrical current distributed throughout this vehicle is directed through the Power
Distribution Center (PDC) (1). The molded plastic PDC housing is located in the left front corner of
the engine compartment, just behind the battery. The PDC houses the generator cartridge fuse and
maxi-type cartridge fuses, which replace all in-line fusible links. The PDC also houses blade-type
fuses, relays, and a fuse puller.

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

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. The only reason the IOD fuse
is disconnected is to reduce the normal IOD of the vehicle electrical system during new vehicle
transportation and pre-delivery storage to reduce battery depletion, while still allowing vehicle
operation so that the vehicle can be loaded, unloaded and moved as needed.
The IOD fuse is disconnected from Integrated Power Module when the vehicle is shipped from the
assembly plant. Dealer personnel must reconnect the IOD fuse when the vehicle is being prepared
for delivery in order to restore full electrical system operation. Once the vehicle is prepared for
delivery, the IOD function of this fuse becomes transparent and the fuse that has been assigned
the IOD designation becomes another Fused B(+) circuit fuse.
The IOD fuse can be used by the vehicle owner as a convenient means of reducing battery
depletion when a vehicle is to be stored for periods not to exceed about thirty days. However, it
must be remembered that disconnecting the IOD fuse will not eliminate IOD, but only reduce this
normal condition. If a vehicle will be stored for more than about thirty days, the battery negative
cable should be disconnected to eliminate normal IOD; and, the battery should be tested and
recharged at regular intervals during the vehicle storage period to prevent the battery from
becoming discharged or damaged.

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
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 Group 30, so it is shown there
complete. It can, however, be shown partially in another group if it contains some associated
wiring.
Splice diagrams show the entire splice and provide references to other sections the splices serves.
Spice 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 Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet > Component Information > Diagrams
> Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7513
- 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. 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.

NUMBER: 22-002-06
GROUP: Tires & Wheels
DATE: July 02, 2006
SUBJECT: Tire Pressure Monitor DIG's Due To The IOD Fuse Not Being Installed
OVERVIEW: This bulletin involves erroneous Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC's) that are caused
when the vehicle is driven without the IOD fuse installed.
MODELS:
2007 HB/HG Durango/Aspen
2007 WK/WH Grand Cherokee
2007 XK/XH Commander
DISCUSSION: The driver may notice that the Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) system is not working
properly.
Whether a premium or base system, the tire pressure monitor warning light in the instrument
cluster may be flashing indicating a TPM SYSTEM problem.
On premium TPM systems, the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) may display a
"SERVICE TIRE PRESS SYSTEM" message. And when stepping through the EVIC to the tire
pressure display, all of the tire pressure readings may display as dashes "- -" rather than actual tire
pressure values.
Investigation by the technician may find the presence of all four TPM related DTC's:
C1501 - Tire Pressure Sensor 1 (L.F.) Internal
C1502 - Tire Pressure Sensor 2 (R.F.) Internal
C1503 - Tire Pressure Sensor 3 (R.R.) Internal
C1504 - Tire Pressure Sensor 4 (L.R.) Internal
The above condition is most likely caused by driving the vehicle without the IOD fuse installed. If
the vehicle is driven at speeds greater than 32 kph (20 mph) for more than approximately ten (10)
minutes without the IOD fuse installed, then the TPM system will log the above four DTC's. This
sceneno is most likely to occur when the vehicle is driven while in dealer inventory.
Without the IOD fuse installed part of the Wireless Control Module (WCM), the receiver circuit, is
not operational (not powered). Though the 1PM tire sensors are powered and transmitting correct
tire pressure signals, the WCM receiver is not receiving those signals.
The portion of the WCM circuitry that is powered, by the ignition on/run feed, sends a CAN
message to the Cabin Control Node (CCN) in the instrument cluster indicating that the TPM tire
pressure signals are not available. On base and premium TPM systems the CCN will flash the tire
pressure monitor warning light, and the powered portion of the WCM will log all four of the above
TPM DTC's as faults with the TPM system. On premium 1PM systems the CCN will also cause the
EVIC to display the "SERVICE TIRE PRESS SYSTEM" message.
For the TPM system to operate correctly the IOD fuse must be installed. A scan tool (StarSCAN(R)
/ StarMOBILE(TM) will be required to erase the four TPM DTC's.

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 Group 30, so it is shown there
complete. It can, however, be shown partially in another group if it contains some associated
wiring.
Splice diagrams show the entire splice and provide references to other sections the splices serves.
Spice Information contains splice diagrams that are not shown in their entirety somewhere else in
the wiring diagrams.
Connector Pin-Outs 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.

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 Durango 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L VIN 2 (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 7580
- 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.

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 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 Group 30, so it is shown there
complete. It can, however, be shown partially in another group if it contains some associated
wiring.
Splice diagrams show the entire splice and provide references to other sections the splices serves.
Spice Information contains splice diagrams that are not shown in their entirety somewhere else in
the wiring diagrams.
Connector Pin-Outs 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.

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 Durango 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L VIN 2 (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse Block > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 7628
- 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: Description and Operation Junction Block
Description
DESCRIPTION
An electrical Junction Block (JB) (1) is concealed behind the left outboard end of the instrument
panel cover. The JB combines the functions previously provided by a separate fuseblock module
and relay center, serves to simplify and centralize numerous electrical components, and to
distribute electrical current to many of the accessory systems in the vehicle. It also eliminates the
need for numerous splice connections and serves in place of a bulkhead connector between many
of the engine compartment, instrument panel, and body wire harnesses.
The molded plastic JB housing has integral mounting brackets that are secured with two screws to
the left instrument panel end bracket. The left end of the instrument panel cover has a snap-fit fuse
access panel that can be removed for service of the JB. A fuse puller and spare fuse holders are
located on the back of the fuse access cover, as well as a fuse layout to help ensure proper fuse
identification.
The JB unit cannot be repaired and is only serviced as an assembly. If any internal circuit or the JB
housing is faulty or damaged, the entire JB unit must be replaced.
Operation
OPERATION
All of the circuits entering and leaving the JB do so through wire harness connectors, which are
connected to the JB through integral connector receptacles molded into the JB housing. Internal
connection of all of the JB circuits is accomplished by an intricate combination of hard wiring and
bus bars.

Fuse Block: Description and Operation Power Distribution Center
Description
DESCRIPTION
All of the electrical current distributed throughout this vehicle is directed through the Power
Distribution Center (PDC) (1). The molded plastic PDC housing is located in the left front corner of
the engine compartment, just behind the battery. The PDC houses the generator cartridge fuse and
maxi-type cartridge fuses, which replace all in-line fusible links. The PDC also houses blade-type
fuses, relays, and a fuse puller.
Operation
OPERATION
All of the current from the battery and the generator output enters the PDC through two cables with
eyelets that are secured with nuts to the two B(+) terminal studs located just inside the inboard end
of the PDC housing. The PDC cover is unlatched and removed to access the battery and generator
output connection B(+) terminal studs, the fuses, the relays, the joint connectors and the engine
wire harness in-line connector.

Description
DESCRIPTION
The Integrated Power Module (IPM) is a combination of the Power Distribution Center (PDC) (1)
and the Front Control Module (FCM) (2). The IPM is located in the engine compartment, next to the
battery. The power distribution center mates directly with the (FCM) to form the IPM. The (PDC) is
a printed circuit board based module that contains fuses and relays, while the FCM contains the
electronics controlling the IPM and other functions. The IPM connects directly to the battery
positive via a stud located on top of the unit. The ground connection is via electrical connectors.
The IPM provides the primary means of voltage distribution and protection for the entire vehicle.
Operation
OPERATION
All of the current from the battery and the generator output enters the integrated power module via
a stud on the top of the module. Internal connections of all of the power distribution center circuits
is accomplished by a combination of bus bars and a printed circuit board.

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

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

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. The only reason the IOD fuse
is disconnected is to reduce the normal IOD of the vehicle electrical system during new vehicle
transportation and pre-delivery storage to reduce battery depletion, while still allowing vehicle
operation so that the vehicle can be loaded, unloaded and moved as needed.
The IOD fuse is disconnected from Integrated Power Module when the vehicle is shipped from the
assembly plant. Dealer personnel must reconnect the IOD fuse when the vehicle is being prepared
for delivery in order to restore full electrical system operation. Once the vehicle is prepared for
delivery, the IOD function of this fuse becomes transparent and the fuse that has been assigned
the IOD designation becomes another Fused B(+) circuit fuse.
The IOD fuse can be used by the vehicle owner as a convenient means of reducing battery
depletion when a vehicle is to be stored for periods not to exceed about thirty days. However, it
must be remembered that disconnecting the IOD fuse will not eliminate IOD, but only reduce this
normal condition. If a vehicle will be stored for more than about thirty days, the battery negative
cable should be disconnected to eliminate normal IOD; and, the battery should be tested and
recharged at regular intervals during the vehicle storage period to prevent the battery from
becoming discharged or damaged.

Power Distribution Module: Description and Operation Module-Integrated Power
Description
DESCRIPTION
The Integrated Power Module (IPM) is a combination of the Power Distribution Center (PDC) (1)
and the Front Control Module (FCM) (2). The IPM is located in the engine compartment, next to the
battery. The power distribution center mates directly with the (FCM) to form the IPM. The (PDC) is
a printed circuit board based module that contains fuses and relays, while the FCM contains the
electronics controlling the IPM and other functions. The IPM connects directly to the battery
positive via a stud located on top of the unit. The ground connection is via electrical connectors.
The IPM provides the primary means of voltage distribution and protection for the entire vehicle.
Operation
OPERATION
All of the current from the battery and the generator output enters the integrated power module via
a stud on the top of the module. Internal connections of all of the power distribution center circuits
is accomplished by a combination of bus bars and a printed circuit board.

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

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

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. The only reason the IOD fuse
is disconnected is to reduce the normal IOD of the vehicle electrical system during new vehicle
transportation and pre-delivery storage to reduce battery depletion, while still allowing vehicle
operation so that the vehicle can be loaded, unloaded and moved as needed.
The IOD fuse is disconnected from Integrated Power Module when the vehicle is shipped from the
assembly plant. Dealer personnel must reconnect the IOD fuse when the vehicle is being prepared
for delivery in order to restore full electrical system operation. Once the vehicle is prepared for
delivery, the IOD function of this fuse becomes transparent and the fuse that has been assigned
the IOD designation becomes another Fused B(+) circuit fuse.
The IOD fuse can be used by the vehicle owner as a convenient means of reducing battery
depletion when a vehicle is to be stored for periods not to exceed about thirty days. However, it
must be remembered that disconnecting the IOD fuse will not eliminate IOD, but only reduce this
normal condition. If a vehicle will be stored for more than about thirty days, the battery negative
cable should be disconnected to eliminate normal IOD; and, the battery should be tested and
recharged at regular intervals during the vehicle storage period to prevent the battery from
becoming discharged or damaged.

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

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

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

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

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

CAUTION
CAUTION: The use of tire sealants is not recommended for vehicles equipped with the Tire
Pressure Monitoring system. Tire sealants may clog tire pressure sensors.
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: It is not recommended to install a tire pressure sensor in an aftermarket wheel. Use tire
pressure sensors in original style factory wheels only.
CAUTION: Any time a sensor is to be reinstalled in a wheel, a new seal, cap and valve core must
be installed on the stem to ensure air tight sealing.
NOTE: TPM thresholds have been established for the original tire size equipped on the vehicle.
Use original size tires only to maintain system accuracy.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
NOTE: On vehicles equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), when the spare tire
pressure sensor is replaced with a new pressure sensor, a diagnostic scan tool MUST be used to
run a routine that will program the new pressure sensor ID into the Wireless Control Module
(WCM), commonly referred to as the Sentry Key Remote Entry Module (SKREEM). Please copy
the ID number off of the new pressure sensor before installing it into the spare tire. Then follow the
programming steps outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for: "Learn Spare Tire Sensor ID" under
Miscellaneous Functions for the "WCM/Wireless Control Module" menu item as appropriate.Then
install the spare tire with one of the active road tires.
NOTE: If replacing the WCM, the spare tire must be dismounted from its wheel to access and note
the spare tire pressure sensor ID. Then follow the programming steps outlined in the diagnostic
scan tool for "Learn Spare Tire Sensor ID" under Miscellaneous Functions for the WCM wireless
control module menu item as appropriate. In addition, the placard pressure thresholds must be
updated in the new WCM. Go to "Update Pressure Thresholds" under Miscellaneous Functions for
the WCM wireless control module and follow the procedure.
On vehicles equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring System, one tire pressure sensor (6) is
mounted to each wheel in place of the traditional tire valve stem. Each sensor has an internal
battery that lasts up to 10 years. The battery is not serviceable. At the time of battery failure, the
sensor must be replaced.
The TPM system operates on a 315 MHz radio frequency. The 315 MHz sensors can be easily
identified by a black sensor body, with (an oval insignia) (1) and a grey valve cap (2).
The Export TPM system operates on a 433 MHz radio frequency. The 433 MHz sensors can be
easily identified by a gray sensor body (with an oval insignia) and a black valve cap (2).
CAUTION: Although 315 MHz and 433 MHz sensors are identical in size and shape, they are not
interchangeable. Always make sure the correct sensor is being used.
NOTE: 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. The tire must be dismounted allowing visual inspection of the
sensor body.
NOTE: If aftermarket wheels are installed and do not contain tire pressure sensors, the system will
not function properly and the driver will be continuously notified of a system malfunction.
The TPM sensors are designed for original style factory wheels. It is not recommended to install a
tire pressure sensor in an aftermarket wheel. (This could cause sealing and system performance
issues).

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

Tire Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
NOTE: On vehicles equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), when the spare tire
pressure sensor is replaced with a new pressure sensor, a diagnostic scan tool MUST be used to
run a routine that will program the new pressure sensor ID into the wireless control module (WCM),
commonly referred to as the sentry key remote entry module (SKREEM). Please copy the ID
number off of the new pressure sensor before installing it into the spare tire. Then follow the
programming steps outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for: "Learn Spare Tire Sensor ID" under
Miscellaneous Functions for the WCM wireless control module menu item as appropriate. Then
install the spare tire with one of the active road tires.
NOTE: If replacing the WCM, the spare tire must be dismounted from its wheel to access and note
the spare tire pressure sensor ID. Then follow the programming steps outlined in the diagnostic
scan tool for "Learn Spare Tire Sensor ID" under Miscellaneous Functions for the WCM wireless
control module menu item as appropriate. In addition, the placard pressure thresholds must be
updated in the new WCM. Go to "Update Pressure Thresholds" under Miscellaneous Functions for
the WCM wireless control module and follow the procedure.
The battery operated tire pressure sensor is both a transmitter and a receiver. The TPM sensor can
be forced to transmit if using a special tool such as a TPM-RKE Analyzer, or from a transponder.
The TPM-RKE Analyzer has the ability to change the sensor's operating mode and to diagnose a
faulty TPM sensor. Using a TPM-RKE Analyzer can take up to a minute to force a transmission
from a sensor. The TPM sensor can be in one of the following modes:
- Sleep Mode - 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). If the vehicle is not moving, the sensor will only transmit on a pressure change
greater then 1 PSI. Driving the vehicle continuously at this speed for more then 4 minutes, and then
stopping the vehicle will change the sensor state into Park Mode. If the vehicle is equipped with a
full size matching spare tire and the spare tire sensor has been replaced, The sensor must be
changed to Park Mode to conserve battery life. Either use a TPM-RKE Analyzer, or swap the spare
tire with a road tire.
- Park Mode - This is the correct operating mode when the vehicle is not moving. The sensor will
transmit once every 13 hours to update the WCM, or will transmit on a 1 PSI delta change. The
sensors will internally take a measurement of the tire pressure every minute to determine a change
in tire pressure
- 0ff / 30 Block - 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 revert back to Park Mode. 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 m.p.h. (24 Km/h)" after a sensor has been replaced, The vehicle must be stationary for more
than 20 minutes in order to initiate the learning sequence.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Testing and Inspection
TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR
NOTE: Tire pressure may increase from 14 to 41 kPa (2 to 6 psi) during normal driving conditions.
Do NOT reduce this normal pressure build up.
Check the tire pressure yellow telltale in the instrument cluster. If the yellow telltale is illuminating
continuously, proceed as listed below. If the yellow telltale is flashing on/off for 60 seconds, once
every ten minutes, there is a system fault detected. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
When diagnosing a tire pressure issue, always check air pressure in the tires first with a known
accurate air gauge. Adjust air pressure as necessary to that listed on the Tire Inflation Pressure
Label (Placard) provided with the vehicle (usually applied to the driver's side B-pillar). After
adjusting air pressure in a tire, allow approximately two minutes for the message or yellow telltale
to go out.
If air pressure in any tire is low, inspect all the tires for leaks. A water "dunk tank" or other water
test may be used to check for a leak around the tire assembly and sensor as long as any water at
the valve core is removed once the procedure is completed. The water can be easily expelled from
the core area by pushing in on the core for several seconds, allowing escaping air to drive out any
moisture. Reinflate the tire as necessary. Always make sure the original valve stem cap is securely
installed to keep moisture out of the sensor.
If the gauge-read pressure in the tires does not indicate a tire pressure issue, refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Service and Repair Removal
REMOVAL
1. Raise and support vehicle. 2. Remove the tire and wheel assembly.
CAUTION: The cap used on this valve stem contains an O-ring seal to prevent contamination and
moisture from entering the valve stem. Retain this valve stem cap for reuse. Do not substitute a
regular valve stem cap in its place.
CAUTION: The valve stem used on this vehicle is made of aluminum and the core is nickel plated
brass. The original valve stem core must be reinstalled and not substituted with a valve stem core
made of a different material. This is required to prevent corrosion in the valve stem caused by the
different metals.
3. Let the air out of the tire. 4. Remove the nut (3). 5. Push the sensor into the tire (1) (so the
sensor is loose inside the tire). 6. Remove the tire from the rim. 7. Retrieve the sensor (1) from the
tire.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Service and Repair Installation
INSTALLATION
NOTE: If replacing the spare tire pressure sensor, take the time now to write down the tire pressure
sensor ID.
NOTE: Before reinstalling an existing tire pressure sensor (6), replace valve cap (2), valve core and
sensor seal (4) to ensure proper sealing.
NOTE: The notch/flat should be lined up together and facing towards the wheel during installation.
1. Wipe area clean around sensor/valve stem mounting hole in wheel. Make sure surface of wheel
is not damaged.
2. Insert sensor (1) through wheel (2) as shown keeping pressure against rear of metal valve stem
(See Arrow). Potted side of sensor is to be
positioned toward wheel. Damage to the sensor may occur if the sensor is installed incorrectly.
NOTE: A flat on the seal seat is used to key the seat to the sensor housing. The notch/flat should
be lined up together and facing towards the wheel during installation.
3. Install sensor nut (3) and hand tighten.
NOTE: Before tightening sensor nut, push downward on sensor housing (2) in an attempt to make
it flush with interior contour of wheel (1).

4. While holding sensor in position, tighten sensor nut to 8 Nm (71 in. lbs.).
CAUTION: Over-tightening the sensor to as much as 10 Nm (88 in. lbs.) may result in sensor
separation from the valve stem. Under this condition, the sensor may still function, however, the
condition should be corrected immediately.
5. Mount tire on wheel following tire changer manufacturer's instructions, paying special attention to
the following to avoid damaging tire pressure
sensor: a.
Rotating Wheel Tire Changers - Once the wheel is mounted to the changer, position the sensor
valve stem (2) approximately 180° from the head of the changer (located at 1) in a clockwise
direction before rotating the wheel (also in a clockwise direction) to mount the tire. Use this
procedure on both the upper and lower tire beads. b.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Sensors and Switches - Steering and Suspension > Sensors and
Switches - Wheels and Tires > Tire Pressure Sensor > Component Information > Service and Repair > Removal > Page
7898
Rotating Tool Tire Changers - Position the wheel on the changer so that the sensor valve stem (1)
is located approximately 180° clockwise from the installation end of the mounting/dismounting tool
(2) once the tool is mounted for tire installation. Make sure the sensor is clear of the lower bead
breaker area (3) to avoid damaging the sensor when the breaker rises. Rotate the tool (2) in a
counterclockwise direction to mount the tire. Use this procedure on both the upper and lower tire
beads.
6. Adjust air pressure to that listed on Tire Inflation Pressure Label (Placard) provided with vehicle
(usually applied to driver's side B-pillar). Make
sure original style valve stem cap is securely installed to keep moisture out of sensor.
7. Install tire and wheel assembly on vehicle. 8. Lower vehicle. 9. If the vehicle has been stationary
for more then 20 minutes, drive the vehicle for a minimum of 10 minutes while maintaining a
continuous speed
above 15 mph (24 km/h). During this time, the system will learn the new sensor ID.
NOTE: If a sensor cannot be trained, refer to appropriate diagnostic information.
SPARE TIRE SENSOR REPLACEMENT
NOTE: When the spare tire sensor is replaced on vehicles equipped with a Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) and a full-sized matching spare tire and wheel assembly, a diagnostic
scan tool MUST be used to run a routine that will program the new pressure sensor ID into the
Wireless Control Module (WCM), commonly referred to as the Sentry Key Remote Entry Module
(SKREEM). Please copy the ID number off of the new pressure sensor before installing it into the
spare tire. Then follow the programming steps outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for: "Learn Spare
Tire Sensor ID" under Miscellaneous Functions for the (WCM) Wireless Control Module menu item
as appropriate. If a TPM-RKE Analyzer special tool is available, put the new spare tire pressure
sensor into "Park" mode. If a TPM-RKE Analyzer special tool is not available, rotate the spare tire
with one of the road tires.

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: Specifications
Mopar ATF +4 Automatic Transmission Fluid is required in the power steering system. Substitute
fluids can induce power steering system failure.

Power Steering Fluid: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION
The recommended fluid for the power steering system is Mopar(R) ATF +4.
Mopar(R) ATF+4, when new is red in color. The 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, the 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.
CAUTION: MOPAR(R) ATF+4 is to be used in the power steering system. 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 any other fluid is used, and do not overfill.
The power steering fluid level can be viewed on the dipstick attached to the filler cap. There are
two ranges listed on the dipstick, COLD and HOT. Before opening power steering system, wipe the
reservoir filler cap free of dirt and debris. Remove the cap and check the fluid level on its dipstick.
When the fluid is at normal ambient temperature, approximately 21° C to 27° C (70° F to 80° F), the
fluid level should read between the minimum and maximum area of the cold range. When the fluid
is hot, fluid level is allowed to read up to the highest end of the HOT range. Only add fluid when the
vehicle is cold.
Use only Mopar(R) ATF+4 Do not overfill the power steering system.

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 the 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.

Steering Gear: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
A rack and pinion steering gears is made up of two main components, the pinon shaft and the rack.
Other components are the outer tie rod ends (3&5), inner tie rods (1&2), Mounting Bushings and the
boots (4). The gear cannot be adjusted or internally serviced. If a malfunction or a fluid leak occurs,
the gear must be replaced as an assembly. The only serviceable component on the steering gear is
the outer tie rod ends (3&5).

Steering Gear: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The steering column shaft is attached to the gear pinion. The rotation of the pinion moves the gear
rack from side-to-side. This lateral action of the rack pushes and pulls the tie rods to change the
direction of the front wheels.

Dealer Service Instructions for: Safety Recall F48 - Right Steering Knuckle
Models
2007 (HB) Dodge Durango 2007 (HG) Chrysler Aspen
NOTE:
This recall applies only to the above vehicles built from July 24, 2006 through September 1, 2006
(MDH 072406 through 090110).
IMPORTANT:
Many of the vehicles within the above build period have already been inspected or repaired and,
therefore, have been excluded from this recall. In addition, a small number of 2004 (HB) through
2006 (HB) model year vehicles that have had a suspect replacement right steering knuckle
installed between July 21, 2006 through October 19, 2006 according to our records, have been
added to this recall. Every effort should be made by dealers to review their records and contact
owners who have purchased a right steering knuckle shipped to dealers between July 21, 2006
through October 19, 2006.
IMPORTANT:
Some of the involved vehicles may be in dealer new vehicle inventory. Federal law requires you to
complete this recall service on these vehicles before retail delivery. Dealers should also consider
this requirement to apply to used vehicle inventory and should perform this recall on vehicles in for
service. Involved vehicles can be determined by using the VIP inquiry process.
Subject The right steering knuckle on about 5,000 of the above vehicles may have been improperly
manufactured and could break. This may cause a loss of steering control and result in a crash
without warning.
Repair
The right steering knuckle must be inspected and replaced if necessary.
Alternate Transportation
Dealers should attempt to minimize customer inconvenience by placing the owner in a loaner
vehicle if inspection determines that right knuckle replacement is required and the vehicle must be
held overnight.

NOTE:
This recall applies only to the above vehicles built from July 24, 2006 through September 1, 2006
(MDH 072406 through 090110).
IMPORTANT:
Many of the vehicles within the above build period have already been inspected or repaired and,
therefore, have been excluded from this recall. In addition, a small number of 2004 (HB) through
2006 (HB) model year vehicles that have had a suspect replacement right steering knuckle
installed between July 21, 2006 through October 19, 2006 according to our records, have been
added to this recall. Every effort should be made by dealers to review their records and contact
owners who have purchased a right steering knuckle shipped to dealers between July 21, 2006
through October 19, 2006.
IMPORTANT:
Some of the involved vehicles may be in dealer new vehicle inventory. Federal law requires you to
complete this recall service on these vehicles before retail delivery. Dealers should also consider
this requirement to apply to used vehicle inventory and should perform this recall on vehicles in for
service. Involved vehicles can be determined by using the VIP inquiry process.
Subject The right steering knuckle on about 5,000 of the above vehicles may have been improperly
manufactured and could break. This may cause a loss of steering control and result in a crash
without warning.
Repair
The right steering knuckle must be inspected and replaced if necessary.
Alternate Transportation
Dealers should attempt to minimize customer inconvenience by placing the owner in a loaner
vehicle if inspection determines that right knuckle replacement is required and the vehicle must be
held overnight.

Suspension Strut / Shock Absorber: Description and Operation
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - SHOCK
A knocking or rattling noise from a shock absorber may be caused by movement between
mounting bushings and metal brackets or attaching components. These noises can usually be
stopped by tightening the attaching nuts. If the noise persists, inspect for damaged and worn
bushings, and attaching components. Repair as necessary if any of these conditions exist.
A squeaking noise from the shock absorber may be caused by the hydraulic valving and may be
intermittent. This condition is not repairable and the shock absorber must be replaced.
The shock absorbers are not refillable or adjustable. If a malfunction occurs, the shock absorber
must be replaced. To test a shock absorber, hold it in an upright position and force the piston in
and out of the cylinder four or five times. The action throughout each stroke should be smooth and
even.
The shock absorber bushings do not require any type of lubrication. Do not attempt to stop bushing
noise by lubricating them. Grease and mineral oil-base lubricants will deteriorate the bushing.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Service Precautions
CAUTION
CAUTION: The use of tire sealants is not recommended for vehicles equipped with the Tire
Pressure Monitoring system. Tire sealants may clog tire pressure sensors.
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: It is not recommended to install a tire pressure sensor in an aftermarket wheel. Use tire
pressure sensors in original style factory wheels only.
CAUTION: Any time a sensor is to be reinstalled in a wheel, a new seal, cap and valve core must
be installed on the stem to ensure air tight sealing.
NOTE: TPM thresholds have been established for the original tire size equipped on the vehicle.
Use original size tires only to maintain system accuracy.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
NOTE: On vehicles equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), when the spare tire
pressure sensor is replaced with a new pressure sensor, a diagnostic scan tool MUST be used to
run a routine that will program the new pressure sensor ID into the Wireless Control Module
(WCM), commonly referred to as the Sentry Key Remote Entry Module (SKREEM). Please copy
the ID number off of the new pressure sensor before installing it into the spare tire. Then follow the
programming steps outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for: "Learn Spare Tire Sensor ID" under
Miscellaneous Functions for the "WCM/Wireless Control Module" menu item as appropriate.Then
install the spare tire with one of the active road tires.
NOTE: If replacing the WCM, the spare tire must be dismounted from its wheel to access and note
the spare tire pressure sensor ID. Then follow the programming steps outlined in the diagnostic
scan tool for "Learn Spare Tire Sensor ID" under Miscellaneous Functions for the WCM wireless
control module menu item as appropriate. In addition, the placard pressure thresholds must be
updated in the new WCM. Go to "Update Pressure Thresholds" under Miscellaneous Functions for
the WCM wireless control module and follow the procedure.
On vehicles equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring System, one tire pressure sensor (6) is
mounted to each wheel in place of the traditional tire valve stem. Each sensor has an internal
battery that lasts up to 10 years. The battery is not serviceable. At the time of battery failure, the
sensor must be replaced.
The TPM system operates on a 315 MHz radio frequency. The 315 MHz sensors can be easily
identified by a black sensor body, with (an oval insignia) (1) and a grey valve cap (2).
The Export TPM system operates on a 433 MHz radio frequency. The 433 MHz sensors can be
easily identified by a gray sensor body (with an oval insignia) and a black valve cap (2).
CAUTION: Although 315 MHz and 433 MHz sensors are identical in size and shape, they are not
interchangeable. Always make sure the correct sensor is being used.
NOTE: 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. The tire must be dismounted allowing visual inspection of the
sensor body.
NOTE: If aftermarket wheels are installed and do not contain tire pressure sensors, the system will
not function properly and the driver will be continuously notified of a system malfunction.
The TPM sensors are designed for original style factory wheels. It is not recommended to install a
tire pressure sensor in an aftermarket wheel. (This could cause sealing and system performance
issues).

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

The battery operated tire pressure sensor is both a transmitter and a receiver. The TPM sensor can
be forced to transmit if using a special tool such as a TPM-RKE Analyzer, or from a transponder.
The TPM-RKE Analyzer has the ability to change the sensor's operating mode and to diagnose a
faulty TPM sensor. Using a TPM-RKE Analyzer can take up to a minute to force a transmission
from a sensor. The TPM sensor can be in one of the following modes:
- Sleep Mode - 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). If the vehicle is not moving, the sensor will only transmit on a pressure change
greater then 1 PSI. Driving the vehicle continuously at this speed for more then 4 minutes, and then
stopping the vehicle will change the sensor state into Park Mode. If the vehicle is equipped with a
full size matching spare tire and the spare tire sensor has been replaced, The sensor must be
changed to Park Mode to conserve battery life. Either use a TPM-RKE Analyzer, or swap the spare
tire with a road tire.
- Park Mode - This is the correct operating mode when the vehicle is not moving. The sensor will
transmit once every 13 hours to update the WCM, or will transmit on a 1 PSI delta change. The
sensors will internally take a measurement of the tire pressure every minute to determine a change
in tire pressure
- 0ff / 30 Block - 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 revert back to Park Mode. 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 m.p.h. (24 Km/h)" after a sensor has been replaced, The vehicle must be stationary for more
than 20 minutes in order to initiate the learning sequence.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Testing and Inspection
TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR
NOTE: Tire pressure may increase from 14 to 41 kPa (2 to 6 psi) during normal driving conditions.
Do NOT reduce this normal pressure build up.
Check the tire pressure yellow telltale in the instrument cluster. If the yellow telltale is illuminating
continuously, proceed as listed below. If the yellow telltale is flashing on/off for 60 seconds, once
every ten minutes, there is a system fault detected. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
When diagnosing a tire pressure issue, always check air pressure in the tires first with a known
accurate air gauge. Adjust air pressure as necessary to that listed on the Tire Inflation Pressure
Label (Placard) provided with the vehicle (usually applied to the driver's side B-pillar). After
adjusting air pressure in a tire, allow approximately two minutes for the message or yellow telltale
to go out.
If air pressure in any tire is low, inspect all the tires for leaks. A water "dunk tank" or other water
test may be used to check for a leak around the tire assembly and sensor as long as any water at
the valve core is removed once the procedure is completed. The water can be easily expelled from
the core area by pushing in on the core for several seconds, allowing escaping air to drive out any
moisture. Reinflate the tire as necessary. Always make sure the original valve stem cap is securely
installed to keep moisture out of the sensor.
If the gauge-read pressure in the tires does not indicate a tire pressure issue, refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.

REMOVAL
1. Raise and support vehicle. 2. Remove the tire and wheel assembly.
CAUTION: The cap used on this valve stem contains an O-ring seal to prevent contamination and
moisture from entering the valve stem. Retain this valve stem cap for reuse. Do not substitute a
regular valve stem cap in its place.
CAUTION: The valve stem used on this vehicle is made of aluminum and the core is nickel plated
brass. The original valve stem core must be reinstalled and not substituted with a valve stem core
made of a different material. This is required to prevent corrosion in the valve stem caused by the
different metals.
3. Let the air out of the tire. 4. Remove the nut (3). 5. Push the sensor into the tire (1) (so the
sensor is loose inside the tire). 6. Remove the tire from the rim. 7. Retrieve the sensor (1) from the
tire.

INSTALLATION
NOTE: If replacing the spare tire pressure sensor, take the time now to write down the tire pressure
sensor ID.
NOTE: Before reinstalling an existing tire pressure sensor (6), replace valve cap (2), valve core and
sensor seal (4) to ensure proper sealing.
NOTE: The notch/flat should be lined up together and facing towards the wheel during installation.
1. Wipe area clean around sensor/valve stem mounting hole in wheel. Make sure surface of wheel
is not damaged.
2. Insert sensor (1) through wheel (2) as shown keeping pressure against rear of metal valve stem
(See Arrow). Potted side of sensor is to be
positioned toward wheel. Damage to the sensor may occur if the sensor is installed incorrectly.
NOTE: A flat on the seal seat is used to key the seat to the sensor housing. The notch/flat should
be lined up together and facing towards the wheel during installation.
3. Install sensor nut (3) and hand tighten.
NOTE: Before tightening sensor nut, push downward on sensor housing (2) in an attempt to make

4. While holding sensor in position, tighten sensor nut to 8 Nm (71 in. lbs.).
CAUTION: Over-tightening the sensor to as much as 10 Nm (88 in. lbs.) may result in sensor
separation from the valve stem. Under this condition, the sensor may still function, however, the
condition should be corrected immediately.
5. Mount tire on wheel following tire changer manufacturer's instructions, paying special attention to
the following to avoid damaging tire pressure
sensor: a.
Rotating Wheel Tire Changers - Once the wheel is mounted to the changer, position the sensor
valve stem (2) approximately 180° from the head of the changer (located at 1) in a clockwise
direction before rotating the wheel (also in a clockwise direction) to mount the tire. Use this
procedure on both the upper and lower tire beads. b.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Sensors and Switches - Wheels and Tires >
Tire Pressure Sensor > Component Information > Service and Repair > Removal > Page 8150
Rotating Tool Tire Changers - Position the wheel on the changer so that the sensor valve stem (1)
is located approximately 180° clockwise from the installation end of the mounting/dismounting tool
(2) once the tool is mounted for tire installation. Make sure the sensor is clear of the lower bead
breaker area (3) to avoid damaging the sensor when the breaker rises. Rotate the tool (2) in a
counterclockwise direction to mount the tire. Use this procedure on both the upper and lower tire
beads.
6. Adjust air pressure to that listed on Tire Inflation Pressure Label (Placard) provided with vehicle
(usually applied to driver's side B-pillar). Make
sure original style valve stem cap is securely installed to keep moisture out of sensor.
7. Install tire and wheel assembly on vehicle. 8. Lower vehicle. 9. If the vehicle has been stationary
for more then 20 minutes, drive the vehicle for a minimum of 10 minutes while maintaining a
continuous speed
above 15 mph (24 km/h). During this time, the system will learn the new sensor ID.
NOTE: If a sensor cannot be trained, refer to appropriate diagnostic information.
SPARE TIRE SENSOR REPLACEMENT
NOTE: When the spare tire sensor is replaced on vehicles equipped with a Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) and a full-sized matching spare tire and wheel assembly, a diagnostic
scan tool MUST be used to run a routine that will program the new pressure sensor ID into the
Wireless Control Module (WCM), commonly referred to as the Sentry Key Remote Entry Module
(SKREEM). Please copy the ID number off of the new pressure sensor before installing it into the
spare tire. Then follow the programming steps outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for: "Learn Spare
Tire Sensor ID" under Miscellaneous Functions for the (WCM) Wireless Control Module menu item
as appropriate. If a TPM-RKE Analyzer special tool is available, put the new spare tire pressure
sensor into "Park" mode. If a TPM-RKE Analyzer special tool is not available, rotate the spare tire
with one of the road tires.

updated in the new WCM. Go to "Update Pressure Thresholds" under Miscellaneous Functions for
the WCM wireless control module and follow the procedure.
On vehicles equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring System, one tire pressure sensor (6) is
mounted to each wheel in place of the traditional tire valve stem. Each sensor has an internal
battery that lasts up to 10 years. The battery is not serviceable. At the time of battery failure, the
sensor must be replaced.
The TPM system operates on a 315 MHz radio frequency. The 315 MHz sensors can be easily
identified by a black sensor body, with (an oval insignia) (1) and a grey valve cap (2).
The Export TPM system operates on a 433 MHz radio frequency. The 433 MHz sensors can be
easily identified by a gray sensor body (with an oval insignia) and a black valve cap (2).
CAUTION: Although 315 MHz and 433 MHz sensors are identical in size and shape, they are not
interchangeable. Always make sure the correct sensor is being used.
NOTE: 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. The tire must be dismounted allowing visual inspection of the
sensor body.
NOTE: If aftermarket wheels are installed and do not contain tire pressure sensors, the system will
not function properly and the driver will be continuously notified of a system malfunction.
The TPM sensors are designed for original style factory wheels. It is not recommended to install a
tire pressure sensor in an aftermarket wheel. (This could cause sealing and system performance
issues).

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

Tire Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
NOTE: On vehicles equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), when the spare tire
pressure sensor is replaced with a new pressure sensor, a diagnostic scan tool MUST be used to
run a routine that will program the new pressure sensor ID into the wireless control module (WCM),
commonly referred to as the sentry key remote entry module (SKREEM). Please copy the ID
number off of the new pressure sensor before installing it into the spare tire. Then follow the
programming steps outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for: "Learn Spare Tire Sensor ID" under
Miscellaneous Functions for the WCM wireless control module menu item as appropriate. Then
install the spare tire with one of the active road tires.
NOTE: If replacing the WCM, the spare tire must be dismounted from its wheel to access and note
the spare tire pressure sensor ID. Then follow the programming steps outlined in the diagnostic
scan tool for "Learn Spare Tire Sensor ID" under Miscellaneous Functions for the WCM wireless
control module menu item as appropriate. In addition, the placard pressure thresholds must be
updated in the new WCM. Go to "Update Pressure Thresholds" under Miscellaneous Functions for
the WCM wireless control module and follow the procedure.
The battery operated tire pressure sensor is both a transmitter and a receiver. The TPM sensor can
be forced to transmit if using a special tool such as a TPM-RKE Analyzer, or from a transponder.
The TPM-RKE Analyzer has the ability to change the sensor's operating mode and to diagnose a
faulty TPM sensor. Using a TPM-RKE Analyzer can take up to a minute to force a transmission
from a sensor. The TPM sensor can be in one of the following modes:
- Sleep Mode - 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). If the vehicle is not moving, the sensor will only transmit on a pressure change
greater then 1 PSI. Driving the vehicle continuously at this speed for more then 4 minutes, and then
stopping the vehicle will change the sensor state into Park Mode. If the vehicle is equipped with a
full size matching spare tire and the spare tire sensor has been replaced, The sensor must be
changed to Park Mode to conserve battery life. Either use a TPM-RKE Analyzer, or swap the spare
tire with a road tire.
- Park Mode - This is the correct operating mode when the vehicle is not moving. The sensor will
transmit once every 13 hours to update the WCM, or will transmit on a 1 PSI delta change. The
sensors will internally take a measurement of the tire pressure every minute to determine a change
in tire pressure
- 0ff / 30 Block - 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 revert back to Park Mode. 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 m.p.h. (24 Km/h)" after a sensor has been replaced, The vehicle must be stationary for more
than 20 minutes in order to initiate the learning sequence.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Testing and Inspection
TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR
NOTE: Tire pressure may increase from 14 to 41 kPa (2 to 6 psi) during normal driving conditions.
Do NOT reduce this normal pressure build up.
Check the tire pressure yellow telltale in the instrument cluster. If the yellow telltale is illuminating
continuously, proceed as listed below. If the yellow telltale is flashing on/off for 60 seconds, once
every ten minutes, there is a system fault detected. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
When diagnosing a tire pressure issue, always check air pressure in the tires first with a known
accurate air gauge. Adjust air pressure as necessary to that listed on the Tire Inflation Pressure
Label (Placard) provided with the vehicle (usually applied to the driver's side B-pillar). After
adjusting air pressure in a tire, allow approximately two minutes for the message or yellow telltale
to go out.
If air pressure in any tire is low, inspect all the tires for leaks. A water "dunk tank" or other water
test may be used to check for a leak around the tire assembly and sensor as long as any water at
the valve core is removed once the procedure is completed. The water can be easily expelled from
the core area by pushing in on the core for several seconds, allowing escaping air to drive out any
moisture. Reinflate the tire as necessary. Always make sure the original valve stem cap is securely
installed to keep moisture out of the sensor.
If the gauge-read pressure in the tires does not indicate a tire pressure issue, refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.

REMOVAL
1. Raise and support vehicle. 2. Remove the tire and wheel assembly.
CAUTION: The cap used on this valve stem contains an O-ring seal to prevent contamination and
moisture from entering the valve stem. Retain this valve stem cap for reuse. Do not substitute a
regular valve stem cap in its place.
CAUTION: The valve stem used on this vehicle is made of aluminum and the core is nickel plated
brass. The original valve stem core must be reinstalled and not substituted with a valve stem core
made of a different material. This is required to prevent corrosion in the valve stem caused by the
different metals.
3. Let the air out of the tire. 4. Remove the nut (3). 5. Push the sensor into the tire (1) (so the
sensor is loose inside the tire). 6. Remove the tire from the rim. 7. Retrieve the sensor (1) from the

4. While holding sensor in position, tighten sensor nut to 8 Nm (71 in. lbs.).
CAUTION: Over-tightening the sensor to as much as 10 Nm (88 in. lbs.) may result in sensor
separation from the valve stem. Under this condition, the sensor may still function, however, the
condition should be corrected immediately.
5. Mount tire on wheel following tire changer manufacturer's instructions, paying special attention to
the following to avoid damaging tire pressure
sensor: a.
Rotating Wheel Tire Changers - Once the wheel is mounted to the changer, position the sensor
valve stem (2) approximately 180° from the head of the changer (located at 1) in a clockwise
direction before rotating the wheel (also in a clockwise direction) to mount the tire. Use this
procedure on both the upper and lower tire beads. b.

Rotating Tool Tire Changers - Position the wheel on the changer so that the sensor valve stem (1)
is located approximately 180° clockwise from the installation end of the mounting/dismounting tool
(2) once the tool is mounted for tire installation. Make sure the sensor is clear of the lower bead
breaker area (3) to avoid damaging the sensor when the breaker rises. Rotate the tool (2) in a
counterclockwise direction to mount the tire. Use this procedure on both the upper and lower tire
beads.
6. Adjust air pressure to that listed on Tire Inflation Pressure Label (Placard) provided with vehicle
(usually applied to driver's side B-pillar). Make
sure original style valve stem cap is securely installed to keep moisture out of sensor.
7. Install tire and wheel assembly on vehicle. 8. Lower vehicle. 9. If the vehicle has been stationary
for more then 20 minutes, drive the vehicle for a minimum of 10 minutes while maintaining a
continuous speed
above 15 mph (24 km/h). During this time, the system will learn the new sensor ID.
NOTE: If a sensor cannot be trained, refer to appropriate diagnostic information.
SPARE TIRE SENSOR REPLACEMENT
NOTE: When the spare tire sensor is replaced on vehicles equipped with a Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) and a full-sized matching spare tire and wheel assembly, a diagnostic
scan tool MUST be used to run a routine that will program the new pressure sensor ID into the
Wireless Control Module (WCM), commonly referred to as the Sentry Key Remote Entry Module
(SKREEM). Please copy the ID number off of the new pressure sensor before installing it into the
spare tire. Then follow the programming steps outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for: "Learn Spare
Tire Sensor ID" under Miscellaneous Functions for the (WCM) Wireless Control Module menu item
as appropriate. If a TPM-RKE Analyzer special tool is available, put the new spare tire pressure
sensor into "Park" mode. If a TPM-RKE Analyzer special tool is not available, rotate the spare tire
with one of the road tires.

Tires: Description and Operation Tires
Tires
TIRES
Tires are designed and engineered for each specific vehicle. They provide the best overall
performance for normal operation. The ride and handling characteristics match the vehicle's
requirements. With proper care they will give excellent reliability, traction, skid resistance, and tread
life.
Driving habits have more effect on tire life than any other factor. Careful drivers will obtain in most
cases, much greater mileage than severe use or careless drivers. A few of the driving habits which
will shorten the life of any tire are:
- Rapid acceleration
- Severe brake applications
- High speed driving
- Excessive speeds on turns
- Striking curbs and other obstacles
Radial-ply tires are more prone to irregular tread wear. It is important to follow the tire rotation
interval. This will help to achieve a greater tread life.
TIRE IDENTIFICATION
Tire type, size, aspect ratio and speed rating are encoded in the letters and numbers imprinted on
the side wall of the tire. Refer to the chart to decipher the tire identification code.
Performance tires have a speed rating letter after the aspect ratio number. The speed rating is not
always printed on the tire sidewall. These ratings are:
- Q up to 100 mph
- S up to 112 mph
- T up to 118 mph
- U up to 124 mph
- H up to 130 mph
- V up to 149 mph
- W (consult the tire manufacturer for the specific speed rating)
- Z more than 149 mph (consult the tire manufacturer for the specific speed rating)
An All Season type tire will have either M + S, M & S or M-S (indicating mud and snow traction)
imprinted on the side wall.
TIRE CHAINS
Tire snow chains may be used on certain models. Refer to the Owner's Manual for more
information.
Radial-Ply Tires
RADIAL-PLY TIRES
Radial-ply tires improve handling, tread life and ride quality, and decrease rolling resistance.
Dodge Durango 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L VIN 2 (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Tires > Component Information > Description
and Operation > Tires > Page 8179
Radial-ply tires must always be used in sets of four. Under no circumstances should they be used
on the front only. They may be mixed with temporary spare tires when necessary. A maximum
speed of 80 KPH (50 MPH) is recommended while a temporary spare is in use.
Radial-ply tires have the same load-carrying capacity as other types of tires of the same size. They
also use the same recommended inflation pressures.
The use of oversized tires, either in the front or rear of the vehicle, can cause vehicle drive train
failure. This could also cause inaccurate wheel speed signals when the vehicle is equipped with
Anti-Lock Brakes.
The use of tires from different manufactures on the same vehicle is NOT recommended. The
proper tire pressure should be maintained on all four tires.
Tire Inflation Pressures
TIRE INFLATION PRESSURES
WARNING: Over or under inflated tires can affect vehicle handling and tread wear. This may cause
the tire to fail suddenly, resulting in loss of vehicle control.
Under inflation will cause rapid shoulder wear (1), tire flexing, and possible tire failure.
Over inflation will cause rapid center wear (1) reduction in the tire's ability to cushion shocks.
Improper inflation can cause:
- Uneven wear patterns
Dodge Durango 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L VIN 2 (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Tires > Component Information > Description
and Operation > Tires > Page 8180
- Reduced tread life
- Reduced fuel economy
- Unsatisfactory ride
- Vehicle drift
For proper tire pressure specification refer to the vehicles Owners Manual.

Spare / Temporary Tire
SPARE / TEMPORARY TIRE
The temporary spare tire is designed for emergency use only. The original tire should be repaired
or replaced at the first opportunity, then reinstalled. Do not exceed speeds of 80 KPH (50 MPH).
when using the temporary spare tire. Refer to Owner's Manual for complete details.
Full Size, Spare Wheel With Matching Tire
FULL SIZE, SPARE WHEEL WITH MATCHING TIRE
The spare is a full usage wheel with a matching tire. It can be used within the (posted legal) speed
limits or distance limitations as of the rest of the vehicles four tires. Refer to Owner's Manual for
complete details.
Replacement Tires
REPLACEMENT TIRES
The original equipment tires provide a proper balance of many characteristics such as:
- Ride
- Noise
- Handling
- Durability
- Tread life
- Traction
- Rolling resistance
- Speed capability
It is recommended that tires equivalent to the original equipment tires be used when replacement is
needed.
Failure to use equivalent replacement tires may adversely affect the safety and handling of the
vehicle.
The use of oversize tires may cause interference with vehicle components. Under extremes of
suspension and steering travel, interference with vehicle components may cause tire damage.
WARNING: Failure to equip the vehicle with tires having adequate speed capability can result in
sudden tire failure.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Wheels: Testing and Inspection
WHEEL INSPECTION
Inspect wheels for:
- Excessive 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.

Description
DESCRIPTION
Models with the single zone heating-A/C system have a single blend-air door, which is controlled
by a single blend door actuator (1). Models with the dual zone system have two blend-air doors,
which are controlled by two blend door actuators. The blend door actuators are reversible, 12-volt
direct current (DC), servo motors.
The blend door actuator for the single zone heating-A/C system is located on top of the HVAC
housing, behind the dash panel.
For the dual zone heating-A/C system, the same blend door actuator used for the single zone
system becomes the driver side blend door actuator, which is mechanically connected to only the
driver side blend-air door. A second separate blend door actuator located on the bottom of the
HVAC housing is mechanically connected to the passenger side blend-air door.
The blend door actuators are interchangeable with the actuators for both mode-air doors and the
recirculation-air door. Each actuator is contained within an identical black molded plastic housing
with an integral wire connector receptacle. Three integral mounting tabs allow the actuator to be
secured to the HVAC housing. Each actuator also has an identical output shaft with splines that
connects it to a blend-air door. The blend door actuators do not require mechanical indexing to the
blend-air doors, as they are electronically calibrated by the A/C-heater control.
Operation
OPERATION
The blend door actuators are connected to the A/C-heater control through the vehicle electrical
system by a dedicated two-wire lead and connector of the HVAC wire harness. The blend door
actuator(s) can move the blend-air door(s) in two directions. When the A/C-heater control pulls the
voltage on one side of the motor connection high and the other connection low, the blend-air door
will move in one direction. When the A/C-heater control reverses the polarity of the voltage to the
motor, the blend-air door moves in the opposite direction.
When the A/C-heater control makes the voltage to both connections high or both connections low,
the blend-air door stops and will not move. The A/C-heater control uses a pulse-count positioning
system to monitor the operation and relative position of the blend door actuator(s) and the blend-air
door(s). The A/C-heater control learns the blend-air door stop positions during the calibration
procedure and will store a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) for any problems it detects in the blend
door actuator circuits.
The blend door actuators are diagnosed using a scan tool.
The blend door actuators cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if found inoperative
or damaged.

The two mode door actuators (floor/defrost and panel door) (1) are reversible, 12-volt direct current
(DC), servo motors. Both mode door actuators are located near the drivers side end of the HVAC
housing. The mode door actuators are mechanically connected to the floor/defrost and the
panel-air door. Both mode door actuators are interchangeable with each other and with the
actuators for the blend-air door and the recirculation-air door. Each actuator is contained within an
identical black molded plastic housing with an integral wire connector receptacle. Three integral

the rear blend-air door. The A/C-heater control learns the rear blend-air door stop positions during
the calibration procedure and will store a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) for any problems it detects
in the rear blend door actuator circuit.
The rear blend door actuator is diagnosed using a scan tool.
The rear blend door actuator cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if found
inoperative or damaged.

The rear mode door actuator (1) is a reversible, 12-volt direct current (DC), servo motor. The rear
mode door actuator is located near the front end of the rear HVAC housing. The rear mode door
actuator is mechanically connected to the rear mode-air door. The rear mode door actuator is
interchangeable with the actuator for the rear blend-air door. Each actuator is contained within an
identical black molded plastic housing with an integral wire connector receptacle. Three integral
mounting tabs allow the actuator to be secured to the side of the rear HVAC housing. The rear
mode door actuator also has an identical output shaft with splines that connects it to the mode-air
door. The rear mode door actuator does not require mechanical indexing to the mode-air door, as it
is electronically calibrated by the A/C-heater control.
Operation
OPERATION
The rear mode door actuator is connected to the A/C-heater control through the vehicle electrical
system by a dedicated two-wire lead and connector of the rear HVAC wire harness. The rear mode
door actuator can move the rear model-air door in two directions. When the A/C-heater control
pulls the voltage on one side of the motor connection high and the other connection low, the rear
mode-air door will move in one direction. When the A/C-heater control reverses the polarity of the
voltage to the motor, the rear mode-air door moves in the opposite direction.
When the A/C-heater control makes the voltage to both connections high or both connections low,
the rear mode-air door stops and will not move. The A/C-heater control uses a pulse-count
positioning system to monitor the operation and relative position of the rear mode door actuator
and the rear mode-air door. The A/C-heater control learns the rear mode-air door stop positions
during the calibration procedure and will store a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) for any problems it
detects in the rear mode door actuator circuit.
The rear mode door actuators are diagnosed using a scan tool.
The rear mode door actuator cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if found
inoperative or damaged.

Ambient Temperature Sensor / Switch HVAC: Description and Operation Heating and Air
Conditioning
Description
DESCRIPTION
The ambient air temperature sensor is a variable resistor that monitors the air temperature outside
of the vehicle. The ambient air temperature sensor is mounted onto the inside of the front bumper
beam and its data is used by the heating-A/C system to maintain optimum cabin temperature
levels.
Operation
OPERATION
The ambient air temperature sensor is a variable resistor that operates on a ground circuit and a
5-volt reference signal circuit sent by the front control module (FCM) through a two-wire lead and
connector of the vehicle wire harness. The ambient air temperature sensor changes its internal
resistance in response to changes in the outside air temperature, which either increases or
decreases the reference signal voltage read by the FCM. The FCM converts and broadcasts the
sensor data over the controller area network (CAN) B bus, where it is read by the A/C-heater
control and other various vehicle control modules.
The ambient air temperature sensor is diagnosed using a scan tool.
The ambient air temperature sensor cannot be adjusted or repaired must be replaced if found
inoperative or damaged.

Ambient Temperature Sensor / Switch HVAC: Description and Operation Overhead Module
Description
DESCRIPTION
The ambient temperature sensor is a variable resistor mounted to a bracket that is secured with a
screw to the right side of the radiator yoke, behind the radiator grille and in front of the engine
compartment.
For complete circuit diagrams refer to Diagrams/Electrical. The ambient temperature sensor cannot
be adjusted or repaired and, if inoperative or damaged, it must be replaced.
Operation
OPERATION
The ambient temperature sensor is a variable resistor that operates on a five-volt reference signal
sent to it by the A/C-heater control. The resistance in the sensor changes as temperature changes,
changing the temperature sensor signal circuit voltage to the A/C-heater control. Based upon the
resistance in the sensor, the A/C-heater control senses a specific voltage on the temperature
sensor signal circuit, which it is programmed to correspond to a specific temperature.

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 Durango 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L VIN 2 (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Blower Motor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8334
- 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 blower motor relay (1) for the standard front heating-A/C system is a International Standards
Organization (ISO)-type relay. Relays conforming to the ISO specifications have common physical
dimensions, current capacities, terminal function and patterns (2). The front blower motor relay is a
electromechanical device that switches battery current from a fuse in the power distribution center
(PDC) directly to the front blower motor when equipped with the manual temperature control (MTC)
system, or the blower motor power module when equipped with the automatic temperature control
(ATC) system. The front blower motor relay is energized when the relay coil is provided a ground
circuit through the integrated power module.
The front blower motor relay is located in the power distribution center (PDC) in the engine
compartment. Refer to the PDC label for front blower motor relay identification and location.
Operation
OPERATION
The ISO-standard front blower motor relay is an electromechanical switch that uses a low current
input from the battery to control the high current output to the front blower motor. The movable,
common feed relay contact is held against the fixed, normally closed relay contact by spring
pressure. When the electromagnetic relay coil is energized, it draws the movable common feed
relay contact away from the fixed, normally closed relay contact and, holds it against the fixed,
normally open relay contact. This action allows high current to flow to the front blower motor.
When the relay coil is de-energized, spring pressure returns the movable relay contact back
against the fixed, normally closed contact point. The resistor or diode is connected in parallel with
the relay coil, and helps to dissipate voltage spikes and electromagnetic interference that can be
generated as the electromagnetic field of the relay coil collapses.
The front blower motor relay terminals are connected to the vehicle electrical system through a
receptacle in the power distribution center (PDC). The inputs and outputs of the front blower motor
relay include:
- The common feed terminal (30) receives battery current through a fuse in the PDC at all times.
- The coil ground terminal (85) receives a ground circuit through the integrated power module.
- The coil battery terminal (86) receives battery current through a fuse in the PDC at all times.
- The normally open terminal (87) provides battery current output to the front blower motor when
equipped with the manual temperature control (MTC) system, or the blower motor power module
when equipped with the automatic temperature control (ATC) system only when the front blower
motor relay coil is energized.
- The normally closed terminal (87A) is not connected to any circuit in this application, but provides
a battery current output only when the front blower motor relay coil is de-energized.
The front blower motor relay cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if found
inoperative or damaged. Refer to the appropriate wiring information for diagnosis and testing of the
ISO-standard relay and for complete HVAC wiring diagrams.

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

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

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

Compressor Clutch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The A/C compressor clutch components provide the means to engage and disengage the A/C
compressor from the engine accessory drive belt. When the electromagnetic A/C clutch field coil is
energized, it magnetically draws the clutch plate into contact with the clutch pulley and drives the
compressor shaft. When the coil is not energized, the pulley freewheels on the clutch hub bearing,
which is part of the pulley assembly.
The A/C compressor clutch engagement is controlled by the following components:
- A/C-heater control in the passenger compartment
- A/C pressure transducer on the A/C discharge line
- Powertrain control module (PCM) in the engine compartment
- A/C clutch relay in the power distribution center (PDC)
The A/C compressor clutch components cannot be repaired and must be replaced if found
inoperative or damaged.

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

A/C CLUTCH PLATE INSPECTION
NOTE: The A/C clutch can be serviced in the vehicle. The refrigerant system can remain
fully-charged during compressor clutch, pulley and bearing assembly, or coil replacement.
Examine the friction surfaces of the pulley and the clutch plate (2) for wear. The pulley and clutch
plate should be replaced if there is excessive wear or scoring.
If the friction surfaces are oily, inspect the shaft and nose area of the A/C compressor (1) for
refrigerant oil. If refrigerant oil is found, the compressor shaft seal is leaking and the A/C
compressor must be replaced.
Check the pulley bearing for roughness or excessive leakage of grease. Replace the pulley and
bearing assembly, if required.

Compressor Clutch: Service and Repair A/C Clutch Break-In
A/C CLUTCH BREAK-IN
After a new A/C compressor clutch has been installed, cycle the compressor clutch approximately
20 times (5 seconds on, then 5 seconds off). During this procedure, set the A/C-heater controls to
the A/C Recirculation Mode, the blower motor in the highest speed position, and the engine speed
at 1500 to 2000 rpm. This procedure (burnishing) will seat the opposing friction surfaces and
provide a higher compressor clutch torque capability.

Compressor Clutch Relay: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The A/C clutch relay (1) is a International Standards Organization (ISO) micro-relay. Relays
conforming to the ISO specifications have common physical dimensions, current capacities,
terminal functions and patterns (2). The ISO micro-relay terminal functions are the same as a
conventional ISO relay. However, the ISO micro-relay terminal pattern (or footprint) is different, the
current capacity is lower, and the physical dimensions are smaller than those of the conventional
ISO relay.
The A/C clutch relay is located in the power distribution center (PDC) in the engine compartment.

Compressor Clutch Relay: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The ISO-standard A/C clutch micro-relay is an electromechanical switch that uses a low current
input controlled by the powertrain control module (PCM) to control the high current output to the
A/C clutch field coil. The movable, common feed relay contact is held against the fixed, normally
closed relay contact by spring pressure. When the electromagnetic relay coil is energized, it draws
the movable common feed relay contact away from the fixed, normally closed relay contact and,
holds it against the fixed, normally open relay contact. This action allows high current to flow to the
A/C clutch field coil.
When the relay coil is de-energized, spring pressure returns the movable relay contact back
against the fixed, normally closed contact point. The resistor or diode is connected in parallel with
the relay coil, and helps to dissipate voltage spikes and electromagnetic interference that can be
generated as the electromagnetic field of the relay coil collapses.
The A/C clutch relay terminals are connected to the vehicle electrical system through a receptacle
in the power distribution center (PDC). The inputs and outputs of the A/C clutch relay include:
- The common feed terminal (30) receives fused battery current at all times.
- The coil ground terminal (85) receives a ground input from the PCM through the A/C clutch relay
control circuit only when the PCM electronically pulls the control circuit to ground.
- The coil battery terminal (86) receives fused battery current through a ignition switch output
(run-start) circuit only when the ignition switch is in the On or Start positions.
- The normally open terminal (87) provides a battery current output to the A/C clutch coil through
the A/C clutch relay output circuit only when the compressor clutch relay coil is energized.
- The normally closed terminal (87A) is not connected to any circuit in this application, but provides
a battery current output only when the A/C clutch relay coil is de-energized.

Condenser HVAC: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The A/C condenser (2) is located in the front of the engine compartment inside of the condenser
fan shroud (3). The A/C condenser is a heat exchanger that allows the high-pressure refrigerant
gas being discharged by the A/C compressor to give up its heat to the air passing over the
condenser fins, which causes the refrigerant to change to a liquid state.
The A/C condenser is retained within the condenser fan shroud by two bolts (1).
Dodge Durango 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L VIN 2 (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Condenser HVAC > Component Information > Description and
Operation > Description > Page 8446
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 disconnected. Failure to replace the rubber O-ring seals and metal gaskets could
result in a refrigerant system leak.
The A/C condenser has no serviceable parts except for the O-ring seals and gaskets. The O-ring
seals used on the connections are made from a special type of rubber not affected by R-134a
refrigerant. The O-ring seals and gaskets must be replaced whenever a refrigerant line is 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.

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 Group 30, so it is shown there
complete. It can, however, be shown partially in another group if it contains some associated
wiring.
Splice diagrams show the entire splice and provide references to other sections the splices serves.
Spice Information contains splice diagrams that are not shown in their entirety somewhere else in
the wiring diagrams.

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 Durango 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L VIN 2 (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Control Assembly, HVAC > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8492
- 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.

The A/C-heater control for the ATC front dual zone heating-A/C system is diagnosed using a scan
tool. Always run the calibration procedure to verify that the concern is not a system issue prior to
replacing an A/C-heater control.
The front A/C-heater control cannot be repaired and must be replaced if found inoperative or
damaged. The illumination lamps, rear wiper/wash control knob and the front fan speed/on/off
control knob are available for service replacement.
The A/C-heater control utilizes integrated circuitry and information carried on the controller area
network (CAN) B bus to monitor many sensors and switch inputs throughout the vehicle. In
response to those inputs, the internal circuitry and programming of the A/C-heater control allows it
to control electronic functions and features of the ATC heating-A/C system.

DESCRIPTION
The rear A/C-heater control (1) for the rear heater-A/C system is located at the rear of the center
floor console and allows intermediate seat passengers to adjust rear temperature and blower motor
speed when the front A/C-heater control is set to the Rear position, otherwise the front A/C-heater
control operates both the front and the rear heater-A/C systems. The rear A/C-heater control
contains:
- a rotary control knob (2) for rear fan speed selection and turning the rear heater-A/C system off.
- a rotary control knob (3) for rear temperature control.
With the rear A/C-heater control active, temperature selection dictates the air distribution mode
(floor or overhead air) of the rear heater-A/C system. A cool temperature setting directs flow to the
overhead outlets and a warm temperature setting to the floor.
The rear A/C-heater control is diagnosed using a scan tool.
The rear A/C-heater control cannot be repaired and must be replaced if found inoperative or
damaged. The illumination lamp (4) and the control knobs are available for service replacement.

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

Control Module HVAC: Description and Operation Front Blower Motor Power Module - Operation
OPERATION
The blower motor power module is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated
lead and connector of the HVAC wire harness. A second connector receptacle receives the wire
harness connector from the blower motor. The blower motor power module allows the
microprocessor-based automatic temperature control (ATC) A/C-heater control to calculate and
provide infinitely variable blower motor speeds based upon either manual blower switch input or the
ATC programming using a pulse width modulated (PWM) circuit strategy.
The PWM voltage is applied to a comparator circuit which compares the PWM signal voltage to the
blower motor feedback voltage. The resulting output drives the power module circuitry, which
provides a linear output voltage to change or maintain the desired blower speed.
The blower motor power module is diagnosed using a scan tool.
The blower motor power module cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if found
inoperative or damaged.

NUMBER: 24-004-10
GROUP: Heating & Air Conditioning
DATE: April 7, 2010
SUBJECT: No A/C Or Evaporator Freeze Up On Long Trips With Blower In Low Speed Position
OVERVIEW: This bulletin involves adding a resistor 470 ohm resistor in the evaporator
temperature sensor signal circuit.
MODELS:
2004-2009 (HB) Durango
2007-2009 (HG) Aspen
NOTE:
This bulletin applies to all HB/HG vehicles with A/C (sales code HAA or HAB or HAF). This bulletin
does not cover the 2009 HG HEV vehicle.
SYMPTOM/CONDITION:
The customers may experience poor A/C, little to no A/C operation or reduced airflow from the
instrument panel vents. This condition often occurs after a extended drive cycle (greater that 2
hours) with the A/C on and the blower speed is set to the low position. Once the vehicle is shut off
or the A/C is turned off for approximately 2 hours the A/C will operate normally.
Adding the resistor to the evaporator temperature sensor signal wire allows the A/C Compressor to
cycle at a higher temperature more frequently to avoid this condition.
DIAGNOSIS:
Using a Scan Tool (wiTECH(TM) or StarSCAN(R)) with the appropriate Diagnostic Procedures
available in TechCONNECT, verify all A/C systems are functioning as designed. If DTC's are
present record them on the repair order and repair as necessary before proceeding further with this

Speed
NUMBER: 24-004-10
GROUP: Heating & Air Conditioning
DATE: April 7, 2010
SUBJECT: No A/C Or Evaporator Freeze Up On Long Trips With Blower In Low Speed Position
OVERVIEW: This bulletin involves adding a resistor 470 ohm resistor in the evaporator
temperature sensor signal circuit.
MODELS:
2004-2009 (HB) Durango
2007-2009 (HG) Aspen
NOTE:
This bulletin applies to all HB/HG vehicles with A/C (sales code HAA or HAB or HAF). This bulletin
does not cover the 2009 HG HEV vehicle.
SYMPTOM/CONDITION:
The customers may experience poor A/C, little to no A/C operation or reduced airflow from the
instrument panel vents. This condition often occurs after a extended drive cycle (greater that 2
hours) with the A/C on and the blower speed is set to the low position. Once the vehicle is shut off
or the A/C is turned off for approximately 2 hours the A/C will operate normally.
Adding the resistor to the evaporator temperature sensor signal wire allows the A/C Compressor to
cycle at a higher temperature more frequently to avoid this condition.
DIAGNOSIS:
Using a Scan Tool (wiTECH(TM) or StarSCAN(R)) with the appropriate Diagnostic Procedures
available in TechCONNECT, verify all A/C systems are functioning as designed. If DTC's are
present record them on the repair order and repair as necessary before proceeding further with this
bulletin.
If the above condition is present, perform the Repair Procedure.

Some vehicle operators may experience a musty odor from the A/C system, primarily at start up in
hot and humid climates. This odor may be the result of microbial growth on the cooling coil. During
normal A/C system operation, condensation forms in and around the NC cooling coil. When
airborne pollutants mix with this condensation, bacteria and fungi growth begins and odor results.
DIAGNOSIS:
If the operator describes, or the technician experiences a musty odor when operating the A/C
system, perform the appropriate Repair Procedure based on the vehicle model.

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

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Evaporator Core > Component Information > Description and
Operation > Front A/C Evaporator - Description > Page 8580
Evaporator Core: Description and Operation Front A/C Evaporator - Operation
OPERATION
Refrigerant enters the A/C evaporator from the A/C expansion valve as a low-temperature,
low-pressure mixture of liquid and gas. As air flows over the fins of the A/C evaporator, the
humidity in the air condenses on the fins, and the heat from the air is absorbed by the refrigerant.
Heat absorption causes the refrigerant to boil and vaporize. The refrigerant becomes a
low-pressure gas when it leaves the A/C evaporator.
NOTE: Replacement of the refrigerant line O-ring seals and gaskets is required anytime a
refrigerant line or expansion valve is disconnected. Failure to replace the rubber O-ring seals and
metal gaskets could result in a refrigerant system leak.
The A/C evaporator has no serviceable parts except for the O-ring seals. The O-ring seals used on
the connections are made from a special type of rubber not affected by R-134a refrigerant. The
O-ring seals must be replaced whenever the A/C expansion valve is removed from the A/C
evaporator.
The A/C evaporator cannot be repaired and must be replaced if leaking or damaged.

DESCRIPTION
The rear A/C evaporator (1) is located within the rear HVAC housing (2), behind the right interior
quarter panel trim. The rear A/C evaporator is positioned in the rear HVAC housing so that all air
entering the housing must pass over the evaporator fins before it is distributed through the rear
heating-A/C system ducts and outlets. However, air passing over the rear evaporator fins will only
be conditioned when the A/C compressor is engaged and circulating refrigerant through the A/C
evaporator.

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

Evaporator Temperature Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation 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 resistance reading as an indication that conditions are correct to
broadcast an A/C request message on the controller area network (CAN) B bus, where it is read by
the front control module (FCM). The FCM then requests the powertrain control module (PCM) to
cycle the A/C compressor clutch as necessary over the CAN C bus.
The evaporator temperature sensor is diagnosed using a scan tool.
The evaporator temperature sensor cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if found
inoperative or damaged.

Expansion Valve: Description and Operation Plumbing - Front
Description
DESCRIPTION
NOTE: Typical A/C expansion valve shown.
The A/C expansion valve controls the amount of refrigerant entering the A/C evaporator and is of a
thermostatic expansion valve (TXV) design. The A/C expansion valve consists of an aluminum
H-valve type body (1) with an integral thermal sensor (2) and is located at the dash panel between
the A/C refrigerant lines and the A/C evaporator.
Operation
OPERATION
The A/C expansion valve controls the flow of high-pressure, low temperature liquid refrigerant
entering the expansion valve and converts it into a low-pressure, low-temperature mixture of liquid
and gas before it enters the A/C evaporator. To meet the vehicles A/C cooling requirements, a
mechanical sensor is used in the A/C expansion valve to monitor the temperature and pressure of
the refrigerant leaving the A/C evaporator and then adjust the inlet port orifice size to allow only the
proper amount of refrigerant to enter the evaporator. Controlling the refrigerant flow through the
A/C evaporator ensures that none of the refrigerant leaving the evaporator is still in a liquid state,
which could damage the A/C compressor.
NOTE: Replacement of the refrigerant line O-ring seals and gaskets is required anytime a
refrigerant line or expansion valve is disconnected. Failure to replace the rubber O-ring seals and
metal gaskets may result in a refrigerant system leak.
The A/C expansion valve is factory calibrated and cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be
replaced if inoperative or damaged.

Description
DESCRIPTION
The rear A/C expansion valve is of a thermostatic expansion valve (TXV) design and controls the
amount of refrigerant entering the rear A/C evaporator. The rear A/C expansion valve consists of
an aluminum H-valve type body (1) with an integral thermal sensor (2) and is located on the rear
HVAC housing between the rear evaporator extension tubes and the rear evaporator.
Operation

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

WARNING: Refer to the applicable warnings and cautions for this system before performing the
following operation. Failure to follow the warnings and cautions could result in possible personal
injury.
NOTE: The rear A/C expansion valve should only be tested following testing of the A/C
compressor.
NOTE: Liquid CO2 is required to test the rear A/C expansion valve. This material is available from
most welding supply facilities. Liquid CO2 is also available from companies which service and sell
fire extinguishers.
When testing the rear A/C expansion valve, the work area and the vehicle temperature must be 21°
to 27° C (70° to 85° F). To test the expansion valve:
1. Connect a charging station or manifold gauge set to the refrigerant system service ports. Verify
the refrigerant charge level.
2. Close all doors, windows and vents to the passenger compartment.
3. Set the A/C-heater controls for the rear heating-A/C system so that the A/C compressor is
operating, the rear temperature control is in the highest
temperature position, and the blower motor is operating at the highest speed.
4. Start the engine and allow it to idle. After the engine has reached normal operating temperature,
allow the passenger compartment to heat up. This
will create the need for maximum refrigerant flow into the rear A/C evaporator.
5. If the refrigerant charge is sufficient, the discharge (high pressure) gauge should read 827 kPa to
1655 kPa (120 psi to 240 psi). The suction (low
pressure) gauge should read 207 kPa to 345 kPa (30 psi to 50 psi). If OK, go to STEP 6. If not OK,
replace the inoperative rear A/C expansion valve.
WARNING: Protect the skin and eyes from exposure to liquid CO2 or personal injury can result.
6. If the suction (low pressure) gauge reads within the specified range, freeze the rear A/C
expansion valve for 30 seconds using liquid CO2 or
another suitable super-cold material. Do not spray R-134a or R-12 refrigerant on the rear A/C
expansion valve for this test. The suction (low pressure) gauge reading should drop by 69 kPa (10
psi). If OK, go to STEP 7 If not OK, replace the inoperative rear A/C expansion valve.
7. Allow the rear expansion valve control head to thaw. The suction (low pressure) gauge reading
should stabilize at 207 kPa to 345 kPa (30 psi to
50 psi). If not OK, replace the inoperative rear A/C expansion valve.
8. When expansion valve testing is complete, test the overall A/C system performance.

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 8646
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: If equipped, do not remove the secondary retention clip from any spring-lock coupler
connection while the refrigerant system is under pressure. Recover the refrigerant before removing
the secondary retention clip. 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 overcharge the refrigerant system. Overcharging will cause excessive
compressor head pressure and can cause compressor noise and A/C system failure.

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.

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 discharge line has no serviceable parts except for the rubber O-ring seals. The O-ring
seals used on the connections are made from a special type of rubber not affected by R-134a
refrigerant. The O-ring seals must be replaced whenever the A/C discharge line is disconnected.

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

Housing Assembly HVAC: Description and Operation Rear
DESCRIPTION
Models equipped with the rear heating-A/C system are equipped with a common rear heater and
A/C housing (7) that combines A/C and heating capabilities into a single unit mounted within the
passenger compartment. The rear heating-A/C system is a blend-air type system. A blend-air door
(6) controls the amount of conditioned air that is allowed to flow through, or around, the heater core
(3). The rear A/C system is designed for the use of a non-CFC, R-134a refrigerant and uses an A/C
evaporator (2) to cool and dehumidify the incoming air prior to blending it with the heated air. A
temperature control determines the discharge air temperature by operating the blend door actuator
(5), which moves the blend-air door. This allows an almost immediate control of the output air
temperature of the system. The mode door actuator (8) operates the mode-air door (9) which
directs the flow of the conditioned air out the upper or lower air outlets, depending on the discharge
air temperature selected. Both electric actuators are connected to the vehicle electrical system by
the HVAC wire harness (10). The rear blower motor (11) controls the velocity of air flowing through
the rear HVAC housing by spinning the blower wheel within the rear blower motor housing (1) at
the selected speed by use of the rear blower motor resistor block (4).
The rear HVAC housing must be removed from the vehicle and disassembled for service of the A/C
evaporator, heater core, mode-air door, blend-air door and blower motor.

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

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

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.

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

REFRIGERANT SYSTEM SERVICE EQUIPMENT
WARNING: Eye protection must be worn when servicing an A/C refrigerant system. Turn all valves
off (rotate clockwise) on the equipment being used before connecting or disconnecting service
equipment from the refrigerant system. Failure to observe these warnings may result in personal
injury or death.
WARNING: Refer to the applicable warnings and cautions for this system before performing the
following operation. Failure to follow the warnings and cautions could result in possible personal
injury or death.
When servicing the A/C system, a R-134a refrigerant recovery/recycling/charging station that
meets SAE standard J2210 must be used (1). Contact an automotive service equipment supplier
for refrigerant recovery/recycling/charging equipment. Refer to the operating instructions supplied
by the equipment manufacturer for proper care and use of this equipment.
A manifold gauge set (1) may be needed with some recovery/recycling/charging equipment. The
manifold gauge set should have manual shut-off valves (2 and 6), or automatic back-flow valves
located at the service port connector end of the manifold gauge set hoses (4 and 5). This will
prevent refrigerant from being released into the atmosphere.
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.

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 contains a different additive package. The Denso
10S20 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 receiver/drier, A/C
evaporator, A/C condenser and the A/C compressor will each retain a significant amount of the
needed refrigerant oil.
It is important to have the correct amount of refrigerant oil in the A/C system. This ensures proper
lubrication of the A/C compressor. Too little oil will result in damage to the A/C compressor, while
too much oil will reduce the cooling capacity of the A/C system and consequently result in higher
discharge air temperatures.
CAUTION: The oil used in the Denso 10S20 A/C compressor is ND-8 PAG R-134a refrigerant oil.
Only refrigerant oil of the same type should be used to service the A/C system. Do not use any
other refrigerant oil. The oil container should be kept tightly capped until it is ready for use and then
tightly capped after use to prevent contamination from dirt and moisture. 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 lubricant being removed during
recovery. This amount of lubricant should be added back into the system. Refer to the
reclaim/recycling equipment manufacturers instructions.
It will not be necessary to check the oil level in the A/C compressor or to add oil, unless there has
been an oil loss. An oil loss may occur due to a rupture or leak from a refrigerant line, a connector
fitting, a component, or a component seal. If a leak occurs, add 30 milliliters (1 fluid ounce) of
refrigerant oil to the refrigerant system after the repair has been made. Refrigerant oil loss will be
evident at the leak point by the presence of a wet, shiny surface around the leak.
Refrigerant oil must be added when an A/C condenser, A/C receiver/drier or A/C evaporator is
replaced (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.
COMPRESSOR OIL DRAIN PROCEDURE
CAUTION: Be certain to adjust the refrigerant system oil level when replacing an A/C compressor.
Failure to properly drain and measure the refrigerant oil from the A/C compressor can prevent the
A/C system from operating as designed and cause serious compressor damage.
The A/C compressor is filled with refrigerant oil from the factory. Use the following procedure to
drain and measure refrigerant oil from the A/C compressor.
1. Drain all of the refrigerant oil from the old A/C compressor into a clean measured container.
2. Drain all of the refrigerant oil from the new A/C compressor into a clean measured container.
3. Refill the new A/C compressor with the same amount of refrigerant oil that was drained out of the
old compressor. Use only clean refrigerant oil of
Dodge Durango 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L VIN 2 (2007))

the type recommended for the A/C compressor in the vehicle.
4. 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.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Refrigerant Pressure Sensor / Switch, HVAC > Component
Information > Description and Operation > Description > Page 8731
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 discharge line. The A/C pressure transducer will change its
internal resistance in response to the pressures it monitors. A Schrader-type valve in the discharge
line fitting permits the A/C pressure transducer to be removed or installed without disturbing the
refrigerant in the A/C system.
The front control module (FCM) provides a five volt reference signal to the A/C pressure
transducer, then monitors the output voltage of the A/C pressure transducer on a sensor return
circuit to determine refrigerant pressure. The FCM broadcasts a refrigerant pressure message to
the PCM, which is programmed to respond to the A/C pressure transducer and other sensor inputs
by controlling the operation of the A/C compressor clutch and the radiator cooling fan to help
optimize A/C system performance and to protect the system components from damage. The PCM
will disengage the A/C compressor clutch when high side pressure rises above 3275 kPa (475 psi)
and re-engage the clutch when high side pressure drops below 1999 kPa (290 psi). The A/C
pressure transducer will also disengage the A/C compressor clutch if the high side pressure drops
below 193 kPa (28 psi) and will re-engage the clutch when the high side pressure rises above 234
kPa (34 psi). If the refrigerant pressure rises above 1655 kPa (240 psi), the PCM will actuate the
cooling fan. The A/C pressure transducer message to the PCM will also prevent the A/C
compressor clutch from engaging when ambient temperatures are below about 4.5° C (40° F) due
to the pressure/temperature relationship of the refrigerant. Refer to the Electric A/C Condenser
Cooling Fan Switch Point chart for condenser cooling fan on/off pressures.
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.

Description
DESCRIPTION
The blower motor relay (1) for the standard front heating-A/C system is a International Standards
Organization (ISO)-type relay. Relays conforming to the ISO specifications have common physical
dimensions, current capacities, terminal function and patterns (2). The front blower motor relay is a
electromechanical device that switches battery current from a fuse in the power distribution center
(PDC) directly to the front blower motor when equipped with the manual temperature control (MTC)
system, or the blower motor power module when equipped with the automatic temperature control
(ATC) system. The front blower motor relay is energized when the relay coil is provided a ground
circuit through the integrated power module.
The front blower motor relay is located in the power distribution center (PDC) in the engine
compartment. Refer to the PDC label for front blower motor relay identification and location.
Operation
OPERATION
The ISO-standard front blower motor relay is an electromechanical switch that uses a low current
input from the battery to control the high current output to the front blower motor. The movable,
common feed relay contact is held against the fixed, normally closed relay contact by spring
pressure. When the electromagnetic relay coil is energized, it draws the movable common feed
relay contact away from the fixed, normally closed relay contact and, holds it against the fixed,
normally open relay contact. This action allows high current to flow to the front blower motor.
When the relay coil is de-energized, spring pressure returns the movable relay contact back
against the fixed, normally closed contact point. The resistor or diode is connected in parallel with
the relay coil, and helps to dissipate voltage spikes and electromagnetic interference that can be
generated as the electromagnetic field of the relay coil collapses.
The front blower motor relay terminals are connected to the vehicle electrical system through a
receptacle in the power distribution center (PDC). The inputs and outputs of the front blower motor
relay include:
- The common feed terminal (30) receives battery current through a fuse in the PDC at all times.
- The coil ground terminal (85) receives a ground circuit through the integrated power module.
- The coil battery terminal (86) receives battery current through a fuse in the PDC at all times.
- The normally open terminal (87) provides battery current output to the front blower motor when
equipped with the manual temperature control (MTC) system, or the blower motor power module
when equipped with the automatic temperature control (ATC) system only when the front blower
motor relay coil is energized.
- The normally closed terminal (87A) is not connected to any circuit in this application, but provides
a battery current output only when the front blower motor relay coil is de-energized.
The front blower motor relay cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if found
inoperative or damaged. Refer to the appropriate wiring information for diagnosis and testing of the
ISO-standard relay and for complete HVAC wiring diagrams.

Compressor Clutch Relay: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The ISO-standard A/C clutch micro-relay is an electromechanical switch that uses a low current
input controlled by the powertrain control module (PCM) to control the high current output to the
A/C clutch field coil. The movable, common feed relay contact is held against the fixed, normally
closed relay contact by spring pressure. When the electromagnetic relay coil is energized, it draws
the movable common feed relay contact away from the fixed, normally closed relay contact and,
holds it against the fixed, normally open relay contact. This action allows high current to flow to the
A/C clutch field coil.
When the relay coil is de-energized, spring pressure returns the movable relay contact back
against the fixed, normally closed contact point. The resistor or diode is connected in parallel with
the relay coil, and helps to dissipate voltage spikes and electromagnetic interference that can be
generated as the electromagnetic field of the relay coil collapses.
The A/C clutch relay terminals are connected to the vehicle electrical system through a receptacle
in the power distribution center (PDC). The inputs and outputs of the A/C clutch relay include:
- The common feed terminal (30) receives fused battery current at all times.
- The coil ground terminal (85) receives a ground input from the PCM through the A/C clutch relay
control circuit only when the PCM electronically pulls the control circuit to ground.
- The coil battery terminal (86) receives fused battery current through a ignition switch output
(run-start) circuit only when the ignition switch is in the On or Start positions.
- The normally open terminal (87) provides a battery current output to the A/C clutch coil through
the A/C clutch relay output circuit only when the compressor clutch relay coil is energized.
- The normally closed terminal (87A) is not connected to any circuit in this application, but provides
a battery current output only when the A/C clutch relay coil is de-energized.
The A/C clutch relay cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if found inoperative or
damaged. Refer to the appropriate wiring information for diagnosis and testing of the ISO-standard
micro-relay and for complete HVAC wiring diagrams.

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

Control Module HVAC: Description and Operation Front Blower Motor Power Module - Operation
OPERATION
The blower motor power module is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated
lead and connector of the HVAC wire harness. A second connector receptacle receives the wire
harness connector from the blower motor. The blower motor power module allows the
microprocessor-based automatic temperature control (ATC) A/C-heater control to calculate and
provide infinitely variable blower motor speeds based upon either manual blower switch input or the
ATC programming using a pulse width modulated (PWM) circuit strategy.
The PWM voltage is applied to a comparator circuit which compares the PWM signal voltage to the
blower motor feedback voltage. The resulting output drives the power module circuitry, which
provides a linear output voltage to change or maintain the desired blower speed.
The blower motor power module is diagnosed using a scan tool.
The blower motor power module cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if found
inoperative or damaged.

Ambient Temperature Sensor / Switch HVAC: Description and Operation Heating and Air
Conditioning
Description
DESCRIPTION
The ambient air temperature sensor is a variable resistor that monitors the air temperature outside
of the vehicle. The ambient air temperature sensor is mounted onto the inside of the front bumper
beam and its data is used by the heating-A/C system to maintain optimum cabin temperature
levels.
Operation
OPERATION
The ambient air temperature sensor is a variable resistor that operates on a ground circuit and a
5-volt reference signal circuit sent by the front control module (FCM) through a two-wire lead and
connector of the vehicle wire harness. The ambient air temperature sensor changes its internal
resistance in response to changes in the outside air temperature, which either increases or
decreases the reference signal voltage read by the FCM. The FCM converts and broadcasts the
sensor data over the controller area network (CAN) B bus, where it is read by the A/C-heater
control and other various vehicle control modules.
The ambient air temperature sensor is diagnosed using a scan tool.
The ambient air temperature sensor cannot be adjusted or repaired must be replaced if found
inoperative or damaged.

Ambient Temperature Sensor / Switch HVAC: Description and Operation Overhead Module
Description
DESCRIPTION
The ambient temperature sensor is a variable resistor mounted to a bracket that is secured with a
screw to the right side of the radiator yoke, behind the radiator grille and in front of the engine
compartment.
For complete circuit diagrams refer to Diagrams/Electrical. The ambient temperature sensor cannot
be adjusted or repaired and, if inoperative or damaged, it must be replaced.
Operation
OPERATION
The ambient temperature sensor is a variable resistor that operates on a five-volt reference signal
sent to it by the A/C-heater control. The resistance in the sensor changes as temperature changes,
changing the temperature sensor signal circuit voltage to the A/C-heater control. Based upon the
resistance in the sensor, the A/C-heater control senses a specific voltage on the temperature
sensor signal circuit, which it is programmed to correspond to a specific temperature.

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

Evaporator Temperature Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation 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 resistance reading as an indication that conditions are correct to
broadcast an A/C request message on the controller area network (CAN) B bus, where it is read by
the front control module (FCM). The FCM then requests the powertrain control module (PCM) to
cycle the A/C compressor clutch as necessary over the CAN C bus.
The evaporator temperature sensor is diagnosed using a scan tool.
The evaporator temperature sensor cannot be adjusted or repaired and 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 discharge line. The A/C pressure transducer will change its
internal resistance in response to the pressures it monitors. A Schrader-type valve in the discharge
line fitting permits the A/C pressure transducer to be removed or installed without disturbing the
refrigerant in the A/C system.
The front control module (FCM) provides a five volt reference signal to the A/C pressure
transducer, then monitors the output voltage of the A/C pressure transducer on a sensor return
circuit to determine refrigerant pressure. The FCM broadcasts a refrigerant pressure message to
the PCM, which is programmed to respond to the A/C pressure transducer and other sensor inputs
by controlling the operation of the A/C compressor clutch and the radiator cooling fan to help
optimize A/C system performance and to protect the system components from damage. The PCM
will disengage the A/C compressor clutch when high side pressure rises above 3275 kPa (475 psi)
and re-engage the clutch when high side pressure drops below 1999 kPa (290 psi). The A/C
pressure transducer will also disengage the A/C compressor clutch if the high side pressure drops
below 193 kPa (28 psi) and will re-engage the clutch when the high side pressure rises above 234
kPa (34 psi). If the refrigerant pressure rises above 1655 kPa (240 psi), the PCM will actuate the
cooling fan. The A/C pressure transducer message to the PCM will also prevent the A/C
compressor clutch from engaging when ambient temperatures are below about 4.5° C (40° F) due
to the pressure/temperature relationship of the refrigerant. Refer to the Electric A/C Condenser
Cooling Fan Switch Point chart for condenser cooling fan on/off pressures.
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.

Solar Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The infrared sensor detects thermal radiation emitted by the front seat occupants and surroundings
and converts its data into a linear pulse width modulated (PWM) output signal, which is sent to the
compass temperature module (EOM) through a two-wire lead and connector of the vehicle wire
harness. The EOM sends a message over the controller area network (CAN) B bus where it is read
by the automatic temperature control (ATC) A/C-heater control. The ATC A/C-heater control uses
the infrared sensor data as one of the inputs necessary to automatically control the interior cabin
temperature level. By using thermal radiation (surface temperature) measurement, rather than an
air temperature measurement, the ATC heating-A/C system is able to adjust itself to the comfort
level as perceived by the occupants. This allows the ATC system to compensate for other ambient
conditions affecting comfort levels, such as solar heat gain or evaporative heat loss.
The ATC system logic responds to the infrared sensor message from the EOM by calculating and
adjusting the air flow temperature and air flow rate needed to properly obtain and maintain the
selected comfort level temperature of the occupants. The EOM continually monitors the infrared
sensor circuits, and will store a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) for any problem it detects.
The infrared sensor is diagnosed using a scan tool.
The infrared sensor cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if found inoperative or
damaged.

Repairs and Inspections Required After a Collision: Service and Repair
SERVICE AFTER A SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT DEPLOYMENT
Any vehicle which is to be returned to use following a supplemental restraint deployment, must
have the deployed restraints replaced. In addition, if the driver airbag has been deployed, the
clockspring must be replaced. If the passenger airbag is deployed, the passenger airbag door must
be replaced. The seat belt tensioners are deployed by the same signal that deploys the driver and
passenger airbags and must also be replaced if either front airbag has been deployed. If a side
curtain airbag has been deployed, the complete airbag unit, the headliner, as well as the upper A,
B, C and D-pillar trim must be replaced. These components are not intended for reuse and will be
damaged or weakened as a result of a supplemental restraint deployment, which may or may not
be obvious during a visual inspection.
On vehicles with an optional sunroof, the sunroof drain tubes and hoses must be closely inspected
following a side curtain airbag deployment. It is also critical that the mounting surfaces and
mounting brackets for the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC), side impact sensors, and front
impact sensors be closely inspected and restored to their original conditions following any vehicle
impact damage. Because the ORC and each front and side impact sensor are used by the
supplemental restraint system to monitor or confirm the direction and severity of a vehicle impact,
improper orientation or insecure fastening of these components may cause airbags not to deploy
when required, or to deploy when not required.
All other vehicle components should be closely inspected following any supplemental restraint
deployment, but are to be replaced only as required by the extent of the visible damage incurred.
AIRBAG SQUIB STATUS
Multistage airbags with multiple initiators (squibs) must be checked to determine that all squibs
were used during the deployment event. The driver and passenger airbags in this vehicle are
deployed by electrical signals generated by the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) through the
driver or passenger squib 1 and squib 2 circuits to the two initiators in the airbag inflators. Typically,
both initiators are used and all potentially hazardous chemicals are burned during an airbag
deployment event. However, it is possible for only one initiator to be used due to an airbag system
fault; therefore, it is always necessary to confirm that both initiators have been used in order to
avoid the improper handling or disposal of potentially live pyrotechnic or hazardous materials. The
following procedure should be performed using a diagnostic scan tool to verify the status of both
airbag squibs before either deployed airbag is removed from the vehicle for disposal.
CAUTION: Deployed front airbags having two initiators (squibs) in the airbag inflator may or may
not have live pyrotechnic material within the inflator. Do not dispose of these airbags unless you
are certain of complete deployment. Refer to the Hazardous Substance Control System for proper
disposal procedures. Dispose of all non-deployed and deployed airbags and seat belt tensioners in
a manner consistent with state, provincial, local, and federal regulations.
1. Be certain that the diagnostic scan tool contains the latest version of the proper diagnostic
software. Connect the scan tool to the 16-way Data Link
Connector (DLC). The DLC is located on the driver side lower edge of the instrument panel,
outboard of the steering column.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
3. Using the scan tool, read and record the active (current) Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) data.
Using the active DTC information, refer to the Airbag Squib Status table to determine the status of
both driver and passenger airbag squibs.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Restraint Systems > Repairs and Inspections Required After a Collision > System Information
> Service and Repair > Page 8889
NOTE: If none of the Driver or Passenger Squib 1 or 2 open are active codes, the status of the
airbag squibs is unknown. In this case the airbag should be handled and disposed of as if the
squibs were both live.
CLEANUP PROCEDURE
Following a supplemental restraint deployment, the vehicle interior will contain a powdery residue.
This residue consists primarily of harmless particulate by-products of the small pyrotechnic charge
that initiates the propellant used to deploy a supplemental restraint. However, this residue may also
contain traces of sodium hydroxide powder, a chemical by-product of the propellant material that is
used to generate the inert gas that inflates the airbag. Since sodium hydroxide powder can irritate
the skin, eyes, nose, or throat, be certain to wear safety glasses, rubber gloves, and a long-sleeved
shirt during cleanup.
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury, if you experience skin irritation during cleanup, run cool
water over the affected area. Also, if you experience irritation of the nose or throat, exit the vehicle
for fresh air until the irritation ceases. If irritation continues, see a physician.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Restraint Systems > Repairs and Inspections Required After a Collision > System Information
> Service and Repair > Page 8890
1. Begin the cleanup by using a vacuum cleaner to remove any residual powder from the vehicle
interior. Clean from outside the vehicle and work
your way inside, so that you avoid kneeling or sitting on a non-cleaned area.
2. Be certain to vacuum the heater and air conditioning outlets as well. Run the heater and air
conditioner blower on the lowest speed setting and
vacuum any powder expelled from the outlets.
CAUTION: Deployed front airbags having two initiators (squibs) in the airbag inflator may or may
not have live pyrotechnic material within the inflator. Do not dispose of these airbags unless you
are certain of complete deployment. Refer to AIRBAG SQUIB STATUS. All damaged, ineffective,
or non-deployed supplemental restraints which are replaced on vehicles are to be handled and
disposed of properly. If an airbag or seat belt tensioner unit is ineffective or damaged and
non-deployed, refer to the Hazardous Substance Control System for proper disposal. Be certain to
dispose of all non-deployed and deployed supplemental restraints in a manner consistent with
state, provincial, local and federal regulations.
3. Next, remove the deployed supplemental restraints from the vehicle. Refer to the appropriate
service removal procedures.
4. You may need to vacuum the interior of the vehicle a second time to recover all of the powder.

Description
DESCRIPTION
Optional side curtain airbags are available for this vehicle when it is also equipped with dual front
airbags. These airbags are passive, inflatable, Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) components,
and vehicles with this equipment can be readily identified by a molded identification trim button with
the SRS - AIRBAG logo located near the top of each upper B-pillar trim panel. This system is
designed to reduce injuries to the vehicle occupants in the event of a side impact collision or a
vehicle rollover incident.
Vehicles equipped with side curtain airbags have two individually controlled curtain airbag units.
These airbag units are concealed and mounted above the headliner where they are each secured
to one of the roof side rails. Each folded airbag cushion is contained within a long extruded plastic
channel (5) that extends along the roof rail from the A-pillar at the front of the vehicle to the D-pillar
at the rear of the vehicle. The channel is initially secured during installation with plastic push-in
fasteners to the roof rail.
A long tether (3) extends down the A-pillar from the front of the airbag cushion, where it is retained
to the pillar with plastic push-in routing clips and it is secured to the base of the A-pillar near the
belt line with a screw and a rivet nut. A short tether (6) at the rear of the cushion is secured by a
screw to a U-nut located near the top of the D-pillar.
The hybrid-type inflator (1) for each airbag is secured to the roof rail at the front of the airbag unit
between the A-pillar and the B-pillar, and is connected to the airbag cushion by a long tubular
manifold (2). The entire assembly is secured to U-nuts spaced along the inside of the roof rail with
screws.
A two-wire pigtail harness (4) is routed from the rear of the airbag inflator and down the B-pillar,
where it is retained by routing clips. The pigtail harness is connected to a take out and connector of
the body wire harness on the B-pillar, which connects the airbag unit to the Occupant Restraint
Controller (ORC).
Dodge Durango 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L VIN 2 (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Restraint Systems > Air Bag Systems > Air Bag > Component Information > Description and
Operation > Air Bag-Side Curtain > Page 8928
The side curtain airbag unit cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if deployed,
ineffective, or in any way damaged. Once a side curtain airbag has been deployed, the complete
airbag unit, the headliner, the upper A, B, C and D-pillar trim, and all other visibly damaged
components must be replaced.
Operation
OPERATION
Each side curtain airbag is deployed individually by an electrical signal generated by the Occupant
Restraint Controller (ORC) to which it is connected through left or right curtain airbag line 1 and line
2 (or squib) circuits. The hybrid-type inflator assembly for each airbag contains a small canister of
highly compressed inert gas. When the ORC sends the proper electrical signal to the airbag
inflator, the electrical energy creates enough heat to ignite chemical pellets within the inflator.
Once ignited, these chemicals burn rapidly and produce the pressure necessary to rupture a
containment disk in the inert gas canister. The inflator and inert gas canister are sealed and
connected to a tubular manifold so that all of the released gas is directed into the folded curtain
airbag cushion, causing the cushion to inflate. As the airbag cushion inflates it will drop down from
the roof rail between the edge of the headliner and the side glass/body pillars to form a curtain-like
cushion to protect the vehicle occupants during a side impact collision or a vehicle rollover incident.
The front and rear tethers keep the side airbag cushion taut to the side of the vehicle, thus ensuring
that the bag will deploy in the proper position. Following the airbag deployment, the airbag cushion
slowly deflates by venting the inert gas through the loose weave of the cushion fabric, and the
deflated cushion hangs down loosely from the roof rail.
Proper diagnosis of the side curtain airbag inflator and squib circuits requires the use of a
diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

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

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

Description
DESCRIPTION
The horizontal surface of the injection molded, thermoplastic passenger airbag door (1) is the most
visible part of the passenger airbag. The passenger airbag door is located above the glove box
opening on the top of the instrument panel (2) in front of the front seat passenger seating position.
The outboard edges of the airbag door are secured with integral snap features (3) to the instrument
panel base trim. Located below the passenger airbag door (2) within the instrument panel is the
passenger airbag unit. The passenger airbag housing fits into a molded receptacle on the back of
the airbag door, where twelve stamped hook formations on the forward and rearward edges of the
airbag housing are engaged in mating small window openings on the forward and rearward flanges
of the receptacle to secure the airbag door to the airbag housing. These airbag door fasteners and
mounting provisions are all concealed beneath the instrument panel base trim. The passenger
airbag unit is secured by two screws through a stamped mounting bracket (5) to the instrument
panel structural support.
The passenger airbag unit used in this vehicle is a multistage, Next Generation-type that complies
with revised federal airbag standards to deploy with less force than those used in some prior
vehicles. The passenger airbag unit consists of a stamped and welded metal housing, the airbag
cushion, the airbag inflator, and a stamped metal airbag cushion retainer plate that is secured to
the airbag housing with four studs and nuts. The airbag housing contains the airbag inflator and the
folded airbag cushion. An approximately 80 centimeter (31.5 inch) wide by 90 centimeter (35.5
inch) high rectangular fabric cushion is used.
The airbag inflator (4) is a non-azide, pyrotechnic-type unit that is secured to and sealed within the
airbag housing. A short four-wire pigtail harness with a keyed, yellow connector insulator (1)
connects the two inflator initiators to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated take out and
connector of the instrument panel wire harness.
The passenger airbag includes the airbag door. This unit cannot be repaired, and must be replaced
if deployed, ineffective, or in any way damaged.

Operation
OPERATION
The multistage passenger airbag is deployed by electrical signals generated by the Occupant
Restraint Controller (ORC) through the passenger airbag squib 1 and squib 2 circuits to the two
initiators in the airbag inflator. By using two initiators, the airbag can be deployed at multiple levels
of force. The force level is controlled by the ORC to suit the monitored impact conditions by
providing one of three delay intervals between the electrical signals provided to the two initiators.
The longer the delay between these signals, the less forcefully the airbag will deploy.
When the ORC sends the proper electrical signals to each initiator, the electrical energy generates
enough heat to initiate a small pyrotechnic charge which, in turn ignites chemical pellets within the
inflator. Once ignited, these chemical pellets burn rapidly and produce a large quantity of inert gas.
The inflator is sealed to the 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 passenger
airbag door will split at predetermined tear seam lines concealed on the inside surface of the door,
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 a vent hole
in each fabric side panel of the airbag cushion.
Typically, both initiators are used during an airbag deployment event. However, it is possible for
only one initiator to be used during a deployment due to an airbag system fault; therefore, it is
necessary to always confirm that both initiators have been used in order to avoid the improper
disposal of potentially live pyrotechnic materials.
Proper diagnosis of the passenger airbag inflator and the passenger airbag 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) (1) is secured with three screws to a stamped steel
mounting bracket welded onto the top of the floor panel transmission tunnel just behind the front
seat crossmember and beneath the center floor console in the passenger compartment of the
vehicle. Concealed within a hollow in the center of the die cast aluminum ORC housing is the
electronic circuitry of the ORC which includes a microprocessor, an electronic impact sensor, an
electronic safing sensor, and an energy storage capacitor. A stamped metal cover plate is secured
to the bottom of the ORC housing with four screws to enclose and protect the internal electronic
circuitry and components.
An arrow (3) printed on the label (2) on the top of the ORC housing provides a visual verification of
the proper orientation of the unit, and should always be pointed toward the front of the vehicle. The
ORC housing has integral mounting flanges on three corners. The mounting flange to the right of
the connector receptacle has an integral locating pin on its lower surface. Both right side flanges
have round mounting holes, while the flange on the left side has a slotted mounting hole. A molded
plastic electrical connector (4) with 2 receptacles, one containing 24 terminal pins and the other
containing 32 terminal pins, exits the forward facing side of the ORC housing. These terminal pins
connect the ORC to the vehicle electrical system through two dedicated take outs and connectors
of the body wire harness.
The impact sensor and safing sensor internal to the ORC are calibrated for the specific vehicle, and
are only serviced as a unit with the ORC. In addition, there are unique versions of the ORC for
vehicles with or without the optional side curtain airbags. The ORC cannot be repaired or adjusted
and, if damaged or ineffective, it must be replaced.

Air Bag Control Module: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The microprocessor in the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) 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) (also known 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
over the CAN data bus to turn ON the airbag indicator. An active fault only remains for the duration
of the fault, or in some cases for the duration of the current ignition switch cycle, while a stored fault
causes a DTC to be stored in memory by the ORC. For some DTCs, if a fault does not recur for a
number of ignition cycles, the ORC will automatically erase the stored DTC. For other internal
faults, the stored DTC is latched forever.
The ORC receives battery current through two circuits; a fused ignition switch output (run) circuit
through a fuse in the Junction Block (JB), and a fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit
through a second fuse in the JB. The ORC receives ground through a ground circuit and take out of
the instrument panel wire harness. This take out has a single eyelet terminal connector that is
secured by a ground screw near the center of the instrument panel structural support. These
connections allow the ORC to be operational whenever the ignition switch is in the START or ON
positions.
The ORC also contains an energy-storage capacitor. When the ignition switch is in the START or
ON positions, this capacitor is continually being charged with enough electrical energy to deploy
the 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. The ORC also monitors inputs from an internal rollover
sensor and six additional remote impact sensors located on the left and right front door beams, the
inner C-pillars and inner D-pillars to control deployment of the side curtain airbag units.
The safing sensor is an electronic accelerometer sensor within the ORC that provides an additional
logic input to the ORC microprocessor. The safing sensor is used to verify the need for a
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. A second safing sensor within the ORC provides confirmation to the ORC
microprocessor of side impact forces. This second safing sensor is a bi-directional unit that detects
impact forces from either side of the vehicle.
Pre-programmed decision algorithms in the ORC microprocessor determine when the deceleration
rate as signaled by the impact sensors and the safing sensors indicate an impact that is severe
enough to require 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 either side curtain airbag unit.
The hard wired inputs and outputs for the ORC may be diagnosed using conventional diagnostic
tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information. However, conventional
diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the ORC or the electronic controls
or communication between other modules and devices that provide features of the supplemental
restraint system. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the ORC or the
electronic controls and communication related to ORC operation requires the use of a diagnostic
scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

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

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

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, 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: Before starting this procedure, be certain to turn the steering wheel until the front wheels
are in the straight-ahead position.
1. Place the front wheels in the straight-ahead position.
2. Remove the clockspring from the steering column.
3. Rotate the clockspring rotor (7) 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. The engagement dowel (5) should end up at
the bottom, and the airbag pigtail wires (1) and connector receptacles (3) should be at the top. Turn
the rotor slightly clockwise or counterclockwise as necessary so that the slots for the clockspring
locking pin (2) are in alignment.
5. The clockspring is now centered. Secure the clockspring rotor to the clockspring case to
maintain clockspring centering until it is reinstalled on the
steering column.
6. The front wheels should still be in the straight-ahead position. Reinstall the clockspring onto the
steering column.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Air Bag Control Module: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The microprocessor in the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) 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) (also known 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
over the CAN data bus to turn ON the airbag indicator. An active fault only remains for the duration
of the fault, or in some cases for the duration of the current ignition switch cycle, while a stored fault
causes a DTC to be stored in memory by the ORC. For some DTCs, if a fault does not recur for a
number of ignition cycles, the ORC will automatically erase the stored DTC. For other internal
faults, the stored DTC is latched forever.
The ORC receives battery current through two circuits; a fused ignition switch output (run) circuit
through a fuse in the Junction Block (JB), and a fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit
through a second fuse in the JB. The ORC receives ground through a ground circuit and take out of
the instrument panel wire harness. This take out has a single eyelet terminal connector that is
secured by a ground screw near the center of the instrument panel structural support. These
connections allow the ORC to be operational whenever the ignition switch is in the START or ON
positions.
The ORC also contains an energy-storage capacitor. When the ignition switch is in the START or
ON positions, this capacitor is continually being charged with enough electrical energy to deploy
the 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. The ORC also monitors inputs from an internal rollover
sensor and six additional remote impact sensors located on the left and right front door beams, the
inner C-pillars and inner D-pillars to control deployment of the side curtain airbag units.
The safing sensor is an electronic accelerometer sensor within the ORC that provides an additional
logic input to the ORC microprocessor. The safing sensor is used to verify the need for a
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. A second safing sensor within the ORC provides confirmation to the ORC
microprocessor of side impact forces. This second safing sensor is a bi-directional unit that detects
impact forces from either side of the vehicle.
Pre-programmed decision algorithms in the ORC microprocessor determine when the deceleration
rate as signaled by the impact sensors and the safing sensors indicate an impact that is severe
enough to require 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 either side curtain airbag unit.
The hard wired inputs and outputs for the ORC may be diagnosed using conventional diagnostic
tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information. However, conventional
diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the ORC or the electronic controls
or communication between other modules and devices that provide features of the supplemental
restraint system. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the ORC or the
electronic controls and communication related to ORC operation requires the use of a diagnostic
scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

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

Child Seat Tether Attachment: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
This vehicle is equipped with a Lower Anchors and Tether for Children, or LATCH child restraint
anchorage system. The LATCH system provides for the installation of suitable child restraints in
certain seating positions without using the standard equipment seat belt provided for that seating
position. The second row seats in this vehicle are equipped with a fixed-position child restraint
upper tether anchor (2) for both outboard seating positions as well as the center position of
vehicles so equipped, and child restraint lower anchors (1) for the two outboard seating positions
only. On vehicles equipped with a split bench third row seat there is also an upper tether anchor
provided for the center seating position of that seat, but no lower anchors.
The upper tether anchors (3) are integral to the second row seat cushion frames. One anchor is
integral to the cushion frame of the center seat section (2), and one is integral to cushion frames of
each outboard seat section (1). These anchors are each constructed from a heavy-gauge steel
wire loop that is securely welded to the seat cushion frame.

The upper tether anchor (3) for the third row split bench seat is integral to the left seat back panel
(1). This anchor is also constructed of a heavy gauge steel wire loop that is welded to the seat back
panel and surrounded by a molded plastic bezel (3). The child restraint upper tether anchors
cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, they must be replaced as a unit with
their respective second row seat cushion frame unit or third row seat back panel.
The lower anchors (2) for this vehicle are also integral to their respective second row outboard seat
cushion frame. These anchors are also constructed from a heavy-gauge steel wire loop that is
securely welded to the seat cushion frame. They are each accessed from the front of their
respective seats, at each side where the seat back (1) meets the seat cushion (3). These lower
anchors cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, they must be replaced as a
unit with the second row seat cushion frame unit.
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury during and following any seat belt or child restraint
anchor service, carefully inspect all seat belts, buckles, mounting hardware, retractors, tether
straps, and anchors for proper installation, operation, or damage. Replace any belt that is cut,
frayed, or torn. Straighten any belt that is twisted. Tighten any loose fasteners. Replace any belt
that has a damaged or ineffective buckle or retractor. Replace any belt that has a bent or damaged
latch plate or anchor plate. Replace any child restraint anchor or the unit to which the anchor is
integral that has been bent or damaged. Never attempt to repair a seat belt or child restraint
component. Always replace damaged or ineffective seat belt and child restraint components with
the correct, new and unused replacement parts listed in the DaimlerChrysler Mopar(R) Parts
Catalog.

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

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

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

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, 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.
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury during and following any seat belt or child restraint
anchor service, carefully inspect all seat belts, buckles, mounting hardware, retractors, tether
straps, and anchors for proper installation, operation, or damage. Replace any belt that is cut,
frayed, or torn. Straighten any belt that is twisted. Tighten any loose fasteners. Replace any belt
that has a damaged or ineffective buckle or retractor. Replace any belt that has a bent or damaged
latch plate or anchor plate. Replace any child restraint anchor or the unit to which the anchor is
integral that has been bent or damaged. Never attempt to repair a seat belt or child restraint
component. Always replace damaged or ineffective seat belt and child restraint components with
the correct, new and unused replacement parts listed in the DaimlerChrysler Mopar(R) Parts
Catalog.
NOTE: The following procedure is for replacement of an ineffective or damaged seat belt and
retractor unit. The front retractor also includes a seat belt tensioner. If the front seat belt or retractor
is ineffective or damaged, but the seat belt tensioner is not deployed, review the recommended
procedures for handling non-deployed supplemental restraints. If the seat belt tensioner has been
deployed, review the recommended procedures for service after a supplemental restraint
deployment before removing the unit from the vehicle.
1. Adjust the front seat to its most forward position for easiest access to the front seat belt lower
anchor and the B-pillar trim.
2. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable. Wait two minutes for the system capacitor to

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
The hard wired circuits between the side impact sensors and the ORC may be diagnosed using
conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the impact
sensors or the electronic controls or communication between other modules and devices that
provide features of the supplemental restraint system. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate
means to diagnose the impact sensors or the electronic controls and communication related to side
impact sensor operation requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate
diagnostic information.

WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the
supplemental restraint system before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat
belt tensioner, impact sensor, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and
isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to
discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the
supplemental restraint system. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental
airbag deployment.
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury, never strike or drop the front impact sensor, as it can
damage the impact sensor or affect its calibration. The front impact sensor enables the system to
deploy the front supplemental restraints. If an impact sensor is accidentally dropped during service,
the sensor must be scrapped and replaced with a new unit. Failure to observe this warning could
result in accidental, incomplete, or improper front supplemental restraint deployment.
1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable. Wait two minutes for the system capacitor to
discharge before further service.
2. Remove the screw (3) that secures the right or left front impact sensor (1) to the back of the right
or left radiator support vertical member (2).
3. Disconnect the headlamp and dash wire harness connector (4) from the sensor connector
receptacle.
4. Remove the right or left front impact sensor from the engine compartment.

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

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

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

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Restraint Systems > Sensors and Switches - Restraint Systems > Seat Position Sensor >
Component Information > Description and Operation > Description > Page 9259
Seat Position Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The seat track position sensor is designed to provide a seat position data input to the Occupant
Restraint Controller (ORC) indicating whether the driver side front seat is in a full forward or a not
full forward position. The ORC uses this data as an additional logic input for use in determining the
appropriate deployment force to be used when deploying the multistage driver side front airbag.
The seat track position sensor receives a nominal five volt supply from the ORC. The sensor
communicates the seat position by modulating the voltage returned to the ORC on a sensor data
circuit. The ORC also monitors the condition of the sensor circuits and will store a Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) for any fault that is detected, and sends messages over the Controller Area
Network (CAN) data bus to illuminate the airbag indicator in the ElectroMechanical Instrument
Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN).
The hard wired circuits between the seat track position sensor and the ORC may be diagnosed
using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the seat
track position sensor or the electronic controls and communication between other modules and
devices that provide features of the supplemental restraint system. The most reliable, efficient, and
accurate means to diagnose the seat track position sensor or the electronic controls and
communication related to seat track position sensor operation requires the use of a diagnostic scan
tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

transponder identification code that is permanently programmed into it by the manufacturer, and
which must be programmed into the Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM) (also known as
the Wireless Control Module/WCM) to be recognized by the SKIS as a valid key.
The Sentry Key transponder cannot be adjusted or repaired. If ineffective or damaged, the entire
key and RKE transmitter unit must be replaced.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Keyless Entry Module: Testing and Inspection
SKREEM PROGRAMMING
When a Powertrain Control Module (PCM) for a gasoline engine, or an Engine Control Module
(ECM) for a diesel engine and the Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM) (also known as
the Wireless Control Module/WCM) on vehicles equipped with the Sentry Key Immobilizer System
(SKIS) are replaced at the same time, perform the following steps in order:
1. Program the new PCM/ECM.
2. Program the new SKREEM/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/ECM or SKREEM/WCM is replaced, it is necessary to program the Secret
Key into the new module using a diagnostic scan tool. Follow the programming steps outlined in
the diagnostic scan tool for PCM REPLACED, ECM REPLACED, WCM REPLACED, or
GATEWAY REPLACED under MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS for the WIRELESS CONTROL
MODULE/WCM menu item as appropriate.
NOTE: Be certain to enter the correct country code for the SKREEM/WCM. If the incorrect country
code is programmed into the SKREEM, it cannot be changed and the SKREEM must be replaced.
NOTE: In addition, the SKREEM/WCM must be configured for certain optional equipment in the
vehicle, including Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM), Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) and Remote Start.
Follow the programming steps outlined in the diagnostic scan tool under MISCELLANEOUS
FUNCTIONS for the WCM/WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE menu item as appropriate.
NOTE: A replacement SKREEM/WCM is supplied with TPM enabled by default; therefore, if the
vehicle is not equipped with TPM, the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) will incorrectly
learn that the vehicle has TPM after the replacement SKREEM is installed. The TPM indicator in
the EMIC will illuminate to show a TPM fault condition after TPM has been disabled in the
SKREEM. The EMIC must unlearn TPM to correct this false TPM indication. Follow the
programming steps outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for CLEAR LEARNED FEATURES under
MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS for the INSTRUMENT CLUSTER 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 three attempts are made to enter secure access mode using an
incorrect PIN, secure access mode will be locked out for one hour. To exit this lockout mode, turn
the ignition to the RUN position for one hour then enter the correct PIN. Be certain that all
accessories are turned OFF. Also monitor the battery state and connect a battery charger if
necessary.
PROGRAMMING IGNITION KEYS TO THE SKREEM
Each ignition key transponder also has a unique ID code that is assigned at the time the key is
manufactured. When a key is programmed into the SKREEM/WCM, the transponder ID code is
learned by the module and the transponder acquires the unique Secret Key ID code from the
SKREEM/WCM. To program ignition keys into the SKREEM/WCM, follow the programming steps
outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for PROGRAM IGNITION KEYS OR KEY FOBS under
MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS for the WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE/WCM menu item.
NOTE: A maximum of eight keys can be learned to each SKREEM. Once a key is learned to a
SKREEM, that key has acquired the Secret Key for that SKREEM and cannot be transferred to any
other SKREEM or vehicle.
If ignition key programming is unsuccessful, the scan tool will display one of the following error
messages:
PROGRAMMING NOT ATTEMPTED - The scan tool attempts to read the programmed key status
and there are no keys programmed into SKREEM memory.
- PROGRAMMING KEY FAILED (POSSIBLE USED KEY FROM WRONG VEHICLE) - SKREEM is
unable to program an ignition key transponder due to one of the following:
- The ignition key transponder is ineffective.
- The ignition key transponder is or has been already programmed to another vehicle.
- 8 KEYS ALREADY LEARNED, PROGRAMMING NOT DONE - The SKREEM transponder ID
memory is full.
- LEARNED KEY IN IGNITION - The ID for the ignition key transponder currently in the ignition lock
cylinder is already programmed into SKREEM memory.

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

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

SYMPTOM/CONDITION:
A customer may experience a buzzing or clicking-like sound coming from the vehicle radio
speaker(s). The sound may be heard when the radio is in AM or FM mode. The clicking-like sound
may sound like Morse code.
DISCUSSION:
The hardware construction of certain cell phones may generate frequencies that can interfere with
the vehicle radio system. These frequencies may result in buzzing and/or clicking-like sounds in the
vehicle radio. GSM type cell phones are more prone to cause this possible interference condition,
though other type cell phones may cause similar buzzing and/or clicking-like sounds.
This condition can be easily corrected by instructing the customer to move their cell phone away
from the immediate area around vehicle radio system (radio, radio amplifier, antenna, antenna
lead). DO NOT replace any radio system component in an attempt to address this condition.

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 Durango 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L VIN 2 (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Cellular Phone > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9381
- 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.

Cellular Phone: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
TELECOMMUNICATIONS
The hands-free cellular system uses Bluetooth(TM) technology to provide wireless communication
between the operator's compatible cellular telephone and the vehicle's on-board receiver.
The system uses voice recognition technology to control operation. The incoming voice is
broadcast through the vehicle's radio speakers, automatically overriding any other audio signals on
the front speakers when the hands-free system is in use. A microphone in the rear view mirror
picks up vehicle occupant's voices. If a call is in progress when the ignition is switched off, the
hands-free system will continue to operate for up to 45 seconds as part of the Accessory Relay
Delay function. Thereafter, the call can continue on the hand-held telephone.
The center console front storage compartment includes a cellular telephone holder, but the system
will communicate with a telephone that is anywhere within the vehicle. However, covering the hand
held phone or the hands-free phone module with a metal object may block the signal. The system
will recognize up to seven telephones, each of which is given a spoken identification by the user
during the setup process. The system includes Spanish and French voice recognition in addition to
English.
Two buttons on the rearview mirror, identified with ISO icons, control the system: A "phone" button
turns the system on and off; a "voice recognition" (or voice command) button prompts the
hands-free system to listen for a voice command.

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

Parking Assist Distance Sensor: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with the park assist system have four park assist sensors (1) installed on the
rear bumper fascia. Only the membrane (3) of each sensor is visible through a hole in the outer
vertical surface of the fascia. The remainder of each sensor including the sensor mounting bracket,
the sensor spacer and the sensor wiring connection is concealed behind the fascia. A sensor wire
harness behind the fascia connects the sensors to the vehicle electrical system.
Each of the four sensors is identical in construction and is interchangeable. The electronic circuitry
and a communication chip for each sensor is enclosed and protected within the molded black
plastic sensor housing. The housing includes an integral connector receptacle (4) and two integral
latch tabs (2). The sensor membrane extends from the surface of the sensor housing, and is
finished to match or contrast with the outer surface of the fascia.
A resilient O-ring spacer around the circumference of each of the four sensor membranes (2)
isolates the membrane from the openings in the fascia (1). Each sensor is snapped into its own
dedicated molded plastic mounting bracket. Each mounting bracket is heat-staked to the back side
of the rear fascia.
The park assist sensors cannot be adjusted or repaired. If ineffective or damaged they must be
replaced. The sensors and the spacers are each available for individual service replacement.

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

Parking Assist Warning Indicator: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The park assist display provides the vehicle operator with visual feedback by illuminating amber or
red Light Emitting Diode (LED) units individually or in unison, and audible feedback by energizing
an audible tone transducer on the display electronic circuit board to emit either an intermittent or a
continuous tone. While the park assist system is active, the number, position and color of the
illuminated LED units as well as the audible signal frequency indicate the relative position and
distance of obstacles detected at the rear of the vehicle.
The park assist display receives battery current and ground from and is completely controlled by
the park assist module. The display also contains an electronic communication chip that allows
bi-directional communication to occur with the park assist module over a dedicated serial bus line.
The microprocessor in the park assist module completely controls the display outputs, continually
monitors the display status, and will store a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) in memory for any
monitored fault it detects in the park assist display. The illumination intensity of the LED units is
also controlled by the park assist module based upon internal programming and electronic panel
lamps dimming messages received over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
When the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, all 16 of the LED units in the display will
illuminate in unison for approximately 1 second as a bulb test. This output will be interrupted if the
system is active and senses an obstacle. Following the conclusion of the bulb test, when the
system is active but no obstacle is detected, the display will indicate system readiness by
illuminating the two outermost amber LED units (1) at a reduced intensity. As an obstacle is
detected, the outermost amber LED unit (5) on the side of the vehicle where the obstacle was
detected will be illuminated at normal intensity. Then additional amber LED units (6) will begin
illuminating inward (2 or 4) as the obstacle gets closer until, finally, the two red LED units (7) are
illuminated.
When the final red LED unit (3) is illuminated, the obstacle is approximately 40 centimeters (16
inches) from the rear bumper and an intermittent audible tone will be generated. The frequency of
the audible tone will increase as the obstacle continues to become closer until the tone is
continuous when the obstacle is about 30 centimeters (12 inches) from the rear bumper. Whenever
a park assist audible tone is being generated, the park assist module sends electronic messages to
the radio over the CAN data bus to mute the audio system. The audible tone will be cancelled after
about two seconds if the detected distance to the obstacle remains constant. See the Park Assist
Display Outputs table for additional details.
The hard wired circuits between components related to the park assist display may be diagnosed
using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
The wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector repair procedures,
details of wire harness routing and retention, connector pin-out information and location views for
the various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.
However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the park
assist display or the electronic controls or communication between modules and other devices that
provide some features of the park assist system. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means
to diagnose the park assist display or the electronic controls and communication related to park
assist display operation requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate
diagnostic information.

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 Durango 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L VIN 2 (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Driver/Vehicle Information Display > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9457
- 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: Component Tests and General Diagnostics
ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFORMATION CENTER
The Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) data is obtained from several components on the
Controller Area Network (CAN) Data Bus circuit. The EVIC will not function properly if the bus
messages from any of these components is not received. If no EVIC data is displayed, check the
CAN Data Bus circuit communications, the Instrument Cluster (also known as Cab Compartment
Node (CCN)) functions and the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM).
If the problem with the EVIC is an inaccurate or scrambled display, refer to SELF- DIAGNOSTIC
TEST. If the problem with the EVIC is incorrect Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) dimming levels,
use a scan tool and the proper Diagnostic Procedures Information to test for the correct dimming
message inputs being received from the CCN or TIPM over the CAN data bus circuit. If the
problem is a no-display condition, use the following procedure.
For complete circuit diagrams, refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wiring information
includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector repair procedures, details of wire harness
routing and retention, connector pin-out information and location views for the various wire harness
connectors, splices and grounds.
1. Remove the overhead console from the headliner.
2. Inspect the Ignition Off Draw (IOD) fuse in the TIPM. If the IOD fuse is OK and in place, go to
STEP 3. If not OK, repair the open IOD fuse
circuit as required.
3. Check for battery voltage at the overhead console electrical connector. If OK, go to STEP 4. If
not OK, Check for battery voltage at the
appropriate B(+) fuse in the TIPM, repair the open fused B(+) circuit as required.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the On position. Check the fused ignition switch output circuit(s) at the
overhead console electrical connector. If OK,
go to STEP 5. If not OK, repair the open or shorted circuit as required.
5. Turn the ignition switch to the Off position. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
Check for continuity between the ground circuit
cavity of the overhead console electrical connector and a good ground. There should be continuity.
If OK, refer to SELF- DIAGNOSTIC TEST for further diagnosis of the EVIC module and the CAN
data bus circuit. If not OK, repair the open ground circuit as required.
SELF- DIAGNOSTIC TEST
NOTE: The EVIC self - test can also be performed using a scan tool. Navigate to the Auto Self Test
screen under System Tests of the scan tool and initiate the EVIC self - test.
A self-diagnostic test is used to determine that the EVIC is operating properly electrically. Initiate
the self-diagnostic test as follows:
1. With the ignition switch in the Off position, simultaneously depress and hold the STEP and
RESET buttons while rotating the ignition switch to
the Run/On position.
2. Continue to hold both buttons depressed until the EVIC enters the display segment test. In this
test, all of the Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD)
segments are lighted while the EVIC performs the following checks:
- Non-Volatile Memory Status (NVM)
- RAM Status
- ROM Status
- ASIC Communication Status
- Compass Status
- DC Status
- CAN Data Bus Communications Status
NOTE: If the EVIC module is equipped with the Universal Transmitter (also known as
HomeLink(R)), the module also checks "HomeLink(R) Communication Test Status".
3. Following completion of these tests, the EVIC will display one of two messages: "Self Test: FAIL"
or "Self Test: PASS" n addition to the
FAIL/PASS message the EVIC will display the current software version (SW V xx.xx.xxx) below the
FAIL/PASS info. Press the RESET or STEP button to exit and enter normal mode. Respond to
these test results as follows:
- If no test result message is displayed, but EVIC operation is still improper, the use of a scan tool
and the proper Diagnostic Procedures Information are required for further diagnosis.
- If the "Self Test: FAIL " message is displayed, the EVIC is inoperative and must be replaced.
- If the "Self Test: PASS" message is displayed, the EVIC is OK, no faults are present.
- If any VFD segment does not light during the display segment test, the EVIC is inoperative and
must be replaced.
If the first seven tests pass, the EVIC shall verify that all the required CAN bus messages are
present on the CAN bus. If all required messages are

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Driver/Vehicle Information Display > Component
Information > Testing and Inspection > Component Tests and General Diagnostics > Page 9471
present on the CAN bus, the EVIC will automatically return to normal operation after sixty seconds.
The EVIC can also be returned to normal operation any time during the test by pressing the STEP,
C/T, RESET or US/M buttons.
NOTE: Pressing the STEP or RESET buttons during any portion of the EVIC Self - Diagnostic Test
Procedure will cause the EVIC to exit diagnostics and return to compass/temperature mode.
NOTE: If the compass functions, but accuracy is suspect, it may be necessary to perform a
variance adjustment. This procedure allows the compass unit to accommodate variations in the
earth's magnetic field strength, based on geographic location.
NOTE: If the compass reading has blanked out, and only "CAL" appears in the display,
demagnetizing may be necessary to remove excessive residual magnetic fields from the vehicle.
Check for stored Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and follow the proper Diagnostic Procedures
Information as needed.

Manual Compass Calibration
MANUAL COMPASS CALIBRATION
CAUTION: Do not place any external magnets, such as magnetic roof mount antennas, in the
vicinity of the overhead console. Do not use magnetic tools when servicing the overhead console.
NOTE: Whenever the compass is calibrated manually, the variance number must also be reset.
The electronic compass unit features a self-calibrating design, which simplifies the calibration
procedure. This feature automatically updates the compass calibration while the vehicle is being
driven. This allows the compass unit to compensate for small changes in the residual magnetism
that the vehicle may acquire during normal use. If the compass readings appear to be erratic or the
Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) displays "CAL", perform the following manual
calibration procedure. Also, any time EVIC service replacement components are installed, they
must be calibrated using this procedure. Do not attempt to calibrate the compass near large metal
objects such as other vehicles, large buildings, or bridges; or, near overhead or underground power
lines.
Calibrate the compass manually as follows:
1. Turn the ignition switch to the On/Run position. Press and release the MENU push button (1)
until "Personal Setting " s displayed.
2. Press the STEP push button (2) until "Calibrate Compass YES" is displayed.
3. Momentarily depress and release the RESET push button (4) to initiate the calibration
procedure. The message "CAL will appear in the
Compass/Temperature display.
4. Slowly drive the vehicle on a level surface, away from large metal objects and power lines,
through one or two complete circles not exceeding 8
km/h (5 mph). The "CAL" message will disappear from the display to indicate that the compass is
now calibrated.
NOTE: A blank compass display indicates that vehicle degaussing (demagnetizing) may be
necessary.
NOTE: If the "CAL" message remains in the display, either there is excessive magnetism near the
compass, or the EVIC is inoperative. Attempt the calibration procedure at least one more time
before performing EVIC diagnosis.
NOTE: If the wrong direction is still indicated in the compass display, the area selected for
calibration may be too close to a strong magnetic field. Repeat the manual calibration procedure in
another location.

Compass variance, also known as magnetic declination, is the difference in angle between
magnetic north and true geographic north. In some geographic locations, the difference between
magnetic and geographic north is great enough to cause the compass to give false readings. If this
problem occurs, the compass variance must be set.
NOTE: If the vehicle is taken on long trips into a new variance zone the compass function may be
effected. Compass variance may need to be adjusted to the new zone number to function properly.
NOTE: The default for the compass variance from the factory is 8.
To set the compass variance:
1. Using the Variance Settings Map, find your geographic location and note the zone number.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the On/Run position. Press and release the MENU push button (1)
until "Personal Settings" is displayed.
3. Press the STEP push button (2) until "Compass Variance" is displayed.
4. Momentarily depress and release the RESET push button (4) to toggle through the zone
numbers (1-15), until the zone number for your
geographic location appears in the display.
5. Momentarily depress and release the C/T push button (5) to enter the displayed zone number
into the compass unit memory.
6. Confirm that the correct directions are now indicated by the compass.

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

8. Slowly approach the center line of the roof panel at the windshield header, with the degaussing
tool connected.
9. Contact the roof panel with the plastic coated tip of the degaussing tool. Be sure that the
template is in place to avoid scratching the roof panel.
Using a slow, back-and-forth sweeping motion, and allowing 13 millimeters (0.50 inch) between
passes, move the tool at least 11 centimeters (4 inches) to each side of the roof center line, and 28
centimeters (11 inches) back from the windshield header.
10. With the degaussing tool still energized, slowly back it away from the roof panel. When the tip
of the tool is at least 61 centimeters (2 feet) from
the roof panel, disconnect the tool.
11. Calibrate the compass and adjust the compass variance.

Garage Door Opener Transmitter: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
NOTE: The Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) module is sometimes referred to as the
Electronic Overhead Module (EOM) for the purposes of scan tool and diagnostic information
naming. Please treat the EVIC and EOM as one and the same when diagnosing the vehicle.
The HomeLink(R) transceiver is integral to the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)
module located in the overhead console. The only visible component of the HomeLink(R)
transceiver are the three transmitter push buttons (3). The buttons are marked with one, two or
three dots, respectively, for identification of each channel.
Each of the three HomeLink(R) transceiver push buttons controls an independent radio transceiver
channel. Each of these three channels can be trained to transmit a different radio frequency signal
for the remote operation of garage door openers, motorized gate openers, home or office lighting,
security systems or just about any other device that can be equipped with a radio receiver in the
286 to 399 MegaHertz (MHz) frequency range for remote operation. The HomeLink(R) transceiver
is capable of operating systems using either rolling code or non-rolling code technology.
The HomeLink(R) transceiver cannot be repaired, and is available for service only as part of the
EVIC module. This unit includes the push button switches for both the transceiver (3) and EVIC (1,
2, 4 and 5) as well as the vacuum-fluorescent display (6) and the plastic module case.

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

If the HomeLink(R) transceiver is inoperative, but the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)
Vacuum-Fluorescent Display (VFD) is operating normally. Retrain the HomeLink(R) transceiver
with a known good hand held transmitter as instructed and test the HomeLink(R) transceiver
operation again. If the unit is still inoperative, test it with the Radio Frequency Detector special tool
9001 as described below:
1. Turn the Radio Frequency (RF) Detector ON. A "chirp" will sound and the green power Light
Emitting Diode (LED) indicator will light. If the
green LED does not light, replace the battery.
2. Hold the RF detector within one inch of the TRAINED HomeLink(R) transceiver and press any of
the transceiver buttons.
3. The red signal detection LEDs will light and the tool will beep if a radio signal is detected. Repeat
this test for each button. If any button is
inoperative, replace the EVIC module.
For complete circuit diagrams, refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wiring information
includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector repair procedures, details of wire harness
routing and retention, connector pin-out information and location views for the various wire harness

Garage Door Opener Transmitter: Programming and Relearning
Programming Homelink(R) Transceiver Codes
PROGRAMMING HOMELINK(R) TRANSCEIVER CODES
Programming Common HomeLink(R) Transmitter Codes
WARNING: Vehicle exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a dangerous gas. Do not run the vehicle's
exhaust while training the transceiver. 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) transceiver buttons, the EVIC will display "CLEARING
CHANNELS" do not release the buttons until "CHANNELS CLEARED" is displayed on the EVIC
(after approximately 20 seconds). Do not hold the buttons for longer than 30 seconds and do not
repeat step one to program a second and/or third hand-held transmitter to the remaining two
HomeLink(R) transceiver buttons. The HomeLink(R) transceiver is now in the train (or learning)
mode
- Position the end of your hand-held transmitter 3-8 cm (1-3 inches) away from the HomeLink(R)
transceiver buttons while keeping the EVIC display in view.
- Simultaneously press and hold both the HomeLink(R) transceiver button that you want to train
and the hand-held transmitter button. Do not release the buttons until step 4 has been completed.
The EVIC will display "CHANNEL X TRAINING", once the HomeLink(R) transceiver is programmed
the EVIC will display "CHANNEL X TRAINED". X refers to the desired channel being trained (1,2 or
3).
NOTE: Some gate operators and garage door openers may require you to replace this
Programming Step 3 with procedures noted in the "Gate Operator/Canadian Programming"
section.
- Once "CHANNEL X TRAINED" s displayed on the EVIC, release both buttons. Programming is
now complete. When the HomeLink(R) transceiver button is subsequently pressed, "CHANNEL X
TRANSMIT " s displayed on the EVIC and your device should be activated, (garage door should
open).
NOTE: To program the remaining two buttons, begin with "Programming" step 2. Do not repeat
step 1.
If the EVIC display shows "CHANNEL X TRANSMIT" (where X is channel 1,2 or 3) but your device
does not activate, the device may be equipped with a "rolling code" system. Continue with the
following steps five through seven to complete the programming of a rolling code equipped device
(most commonly a garage door opener manufactured after 1995). The assistance of a second
person may make the following programming steps quicker and easier.
- At the garage door opener receiver (motor-head unit) in the garage, locate the "learn" or "smart"
button. This can usually be found where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the motor-head
unit.
- Firmly press and release the "learn" or "smart" button. (The name and color of the button may
vary by manufacturer.)
NOTE: There are 30 seconds in which to initiate step 8.
- Return to the vehicle and firmly press, hold for two seconds and release the programmed
HomeLink(R) transceiver button. Repeat the "press/hold/release" sequence a second time, and,
depending on the brand of the garage door opener (or other rolling code equipped device), repeat
this sequence a third time to complete the programming.
The HomeLink(R) transceiver should now activate your rolling code equipped device.
NOTE: To program the remaining two HomeLink(R) transceiver buttons, begin with "Programming"
step 2. Do not repeat step 1.
Canadian Programming/Gate Programming
Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmitter signals to "time-out" (or quit) after several
seconds of transmission which may not be long enough for the HomeLink(R) transceiver to pick up
the signal during programming. Similar to this Canadian law, some U.S. gate operators are
designed to "time-out" in the same manner.
If you live in Canada or you are having difficulties programming a gate operator by using the
"Programming" procedures (regardless of where you live), replace "Programming Common
HomeLink(R)

Transceiver Codes" step 3 with the following:
NOTE: When programming a garage door opener or gate operator, it is advised to unplug the
device or move the vehicle out of range during the "cycling" process to prevent possible
overheating.
- 3. Continue to press and hold the HomeLink(R) transceiver button while you press and release
every two seconds ("cycle") your hand-held transmitter until the frequency signal has successfully
been accepted. The EVIC will display "CHANNEL X TRAINING" and then "CHANNEL X
TRAINED". Proceed with "Programming" step 4 to complete.

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

A memory setting is saved by pressing the "set" button, then pressing either the memory 1 inch or
2 inch button within 5 seconds of pressing the "set" button.
A memory setting is recalled by pressing either the memory 1 inch or 2 inch button, or by pressing
the unlock button on a "linke" Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter.
For driver safety, memorized settings can not be recalled if the transmission is in a position other
than Park or the seat belt is latched.
Both driver and passenger modules provide active and stored Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC's) to
aid in diagnosis.
Both modules are identical in appearance with the exception of an extra ground wire on the driver
side memory mirror module.

Description
DESCRIPTION
NOTE: The scan tool standardization process must be performed on the Memory Seat Module
(MSM) any time a new module is installed or the existing module is reflashed.
The Memory Seat Module (MSM) is located underneath the driver seat, towards the front and on
the outboard side. It is used in conjunction with the other modules in the memory system to recall
the seat to one of two preset seat functional adjustments (horizontal, vertical, and recliner). The
switch for the memory seat programming and selection mounts on the driver door trim panel. The
MSM also controls the adjustable pedals, both for the memory and manual functionality. The
adjustable accelerator and brake pedals are available on SLT and Limited models. On Limited,
their positioning can be stored for recall by the memory system, allowing for two drivers to have
unique, pre-programmed settings.
Operation
OPERATION
POWER/MEMORY SEAT
The memory seat module receives input from the 8-way power seat switch, the driver seat position
sensors, adjustable pedal control circuits (switch, sensor, and motor), and the data bus circuit. The
memory switch, is wired to the memory mirror module which sends the message over the data bus.
The memory seat module performs the following functions:
- Positions the driver seat (vertical, horizontal, and recliner positions) and adjustable pedals.
- Sends the memory save or recall (#1 or #2) command over the data bus circuit to the memory
mirror modules, HVAC, and radio.
- Provides for "linking" the key FOBs to memory.
- Provides for the easy entry/exit feature.
- Provides the tilt mirrors in reverse feature
When a memory button is pressed (#1 or #2) on the memory switch, the driver door memory mirror
module sends a recall message to the memory seat module (MSM). Then the MSM will position the
driver seat and adjustable pedals to its preprogrammed location/setting. When the Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) Transmitter button is pressed, depending on which transmitter (#1 or #2), the
SKREEM (RKE Receiver) sends the recall request and FOB number (#1 or #2) data message. This
RKE transmitter function depends on if the MSM is programmed to trigger the recall (linked FOBs).
A memory setting is saved by pressing the "set" button, then pressing either the memory 1 inch or
2 inch button within 5 seconds of pressing the "set" button.
A memory setting is recalled by pressing either the memory 1 inch or 2 inch button, or by pressing
the unlock button on a "linked" Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter.
For driver safety, memorized settings can not be recalled if the transmission is in any position other
than park or the seat belt is latched.
A key FOB is "linked" to a memory setting by pressing the "set" button and then pressing either the
memory 1 inch or 2 inch button within 5 seconds of pressing the set button, then by pressing the
"lock" button on the selected key FOB.

The memory system "Easy Entry and /Exit" feature provides the driver with more room to enter or
exit the vehicle. The Easy Entry and Exit feature is disabled when the vehicle leaves the factory. An
authorized dealer can enable this feature. When the seat is in a memorized position, it will move
rearward 55 millimeters or to the end of its travel, whichever occurs first, when the key is removed
from the ignition switch lock cylinder. The seat will return to the memory position when the driver
turns the vehicle's ignition switch out of the LOCK position.
The memory system "learns" the seat and adjustable pedal motor maximum end positions when
the motor reaches the limit of travel in any direction and stalls. Subsequently, movement will stop
just short of that position to avoid extra stress on the motors and mechanisms. If the system
learned a maximum position as a result of an obstruction, as for instance if a large object was
placed on the floor behind the seat, the system can relearn the "true" maximum position through
manually operating the power seat after the obstruction is removed.
NOTE: It is normal for the power accessories contained in the memory system to stop at the
maximum "learned" position and then continue to the "true" maximum position when the control
switch is released and then applied in the same direction a second time.
Certain functions and features of the memory system rely upon resources shared with other
electronic modules in the vehicle over the Controller Area Network (CAN) bus. The CAN bus allows
the sharing of sensor information. This helps to reduce wire harness complexity, internal controller
hardware, and component sensor current loads. At the same time, this system provides increased
reliability, enhanced diagnostics, and allows the addition of many new feature capabilities. For
diagnosis of these electronic modules or of the CAN bus, the use of a scan tool and the proper
diagnostic information are needed.
The tilt mirrors in reverse feature provides for tilting the sideview (outside) mirrors down a
predetermined angle, providing a better view of the ground next to the rear portion of the vehicle.
The tilt mirrors in reverse feature is disabled when the vehicle leaves the factory. An authorized
dealer can enable this feature. Operation of the tilt mirrors is as follows:
- Sideview mirrors will tilt down when the vehicle transmission is shifted into Reverse.
- Sideview mirrors will return to the original position when the vehicle transmission is shifted out of
Reverse.
ADJUSTABLE PEDALS
The pedals swing on a large arc, the radius and angle of which were selected on the basis of
ergonomic studies, that puts them in the proper position for use by the smaller driver - higher and
angled upward as well as rearward. Powered by the small electric motor driving a gear train at
each pedal, adjustment is precise, quiet, and smooth throughout the range. A paddle-type switch
on the instrument panel to the left of the steering column actuates the electric motor-driven
mechanism through the memory seat module (MSM). Pushing up the paddle brings the pedals
closer and vice versa. Movement stops when the switch is released. MSM logic prevents pedal
adjustment when the automatic speed control (cruise control) is set (controlling speed), and when
the transmission is in reverse. This feature protects against a loss of reference position when
neither foot is on the pedal.

DESCRIPTION
TELECOMMUNICATIONS
The hands-free cellular system uses Bluetooth(TM) technology to provide wireless communication
between the operator's compatible cellular telephone and the vehicle's on-board receiver.
The system uses voice recognition technology to control operation. The incoming voice is
broadcast through the vehicle's radio speakers, automatically overriding any other audio signals on
the front speakers when the hands-free system is in use. A microphone in the rear view mirror
picks up vehicle occupant's voices. If a call is in progress when the ignition is switched off, the
hands-free system will continue to operate for up to 45 seconds as part of the Accessory Relay
Delay function. Thereafter, the call can continue on the hand-held telephone.
The center console front storage compartment includes a cellular telephone holder, but the system
will communicate with a telephone that is anywhere within the vehicle. However, covering the hand
held phone or the hands-free phone module with a metal object may block the signal. The system
will recognize up to seven telephones, each of which is given a spoken identification by the user
during the setup process. The system includes Spanish and French voice recognition in addition to
English.
Two buttons on the rearview mirror, identified with ISO icons, control the system: A "phone" button
turns the system on and off; a "voice recognition" (or voice command) button prompts the
hands-free system to listen for a voice command.

Pedal Positioning Motor: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION
NOTE: The Adjustable Pedal Motor (4) is not serviced separately. The Adjustable Pedal Motor (4)
comes as an assembly which includes the aluminum pedals bracket (2), pedals (3), cables (1) and
motor (4).
The Adjustable Pedals System (APS) is designed to enable the fore and aft repositioning of the
brake and accelerator pedals. This results in improved ergonomics in relation to the steering wheel
for taller and shorter drivers. Being able to adjust the pedal positions also allows the driver to set
steering wheel tilt and seat position to the most comfortable position. The position of the brake and
accelerator pedals can be adjusted without compromising safety or comfort in actuating the pedals.
Change of pedal position is accomplished by means of a motor driven screw. Operating the
adjustable pedal switch activates the pedal drive motor. The pedal drive motor turns a screw that
changes the position of the brake and accelerator pedals. The pedal can be moved rearward
(closer to the driver) or forward (away from driver). The brake pedal is moved on its drive screw to
a position where the driver feels most comfortable.
The accelerator pedal is moved at the same time and the same distance as the brake pedal.
Neither the pedal drive motor nor drive mechanism are subject to the mechanical stress of brake or
accelerator application.
- SYSTEM FEATURES:
- Range of Adjustment: The pedals may be adjusted up to 3 in. (75 mm)
- Pedal Adjustment Speed: 0.5 in./sec (12.5 mm/sec)
- Pedal Adjustment Inhibitors: Pedal adjustment is inhibited when the vehicle is in reverse or when
cruise control is activated.

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

Radio/Stereo Noise Filter: Description and Operation 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.

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

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

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

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

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

Keyless Entry Module: Testing and Inspection
SKREEM PROGRAMMING
When a Powertrain Control Module (PCM) for a gasoline engine, or an Engine Control Module
(ECM) for a diesel engine and the Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM) (also known as
the Wireless Control Module/WCM) on vehicles equipped with the Sentry Key Immobilizer System
(SKIS) are replaced at the same time, perform the following steps in order:
1. Program the new PCM/ECM.
2. Program the new SKREEM/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/ECM or SKREEM/WCM is replaced, it is necessary to program the Secret
Key into the new module using a diagnostic scan tool. Follow the programming steps outlined in
the diagnostic scan tool for PCM REPLACED, ECM REPLACED, WCM REPLACED, or
GATEWAY REPLACED under MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS for the WIRELESS CONTROL
MODULE/WCM menu item as appropriate.
NOTE: Be certain to enter the correct country code for the SKREEM/WCM. If the incorrect country
code is programmed into the SKREEM, it cannot be changed and the SKREEM must be replaced.
NOTE: In addition, the SKREEM/WCM must be configured for certain optional equipment in the
vehicle, including Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM), Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) and Remote Start.
Follow the programming steps outlined in the diagnostic scan tool under MISCELLANEOUS
FUNCTIONS for the WCM/WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE menu item as appropriate.
NOTE: A replacement SKREEM/WCM is supplied with TPM enabled by default; therefore, if the
vehicle is not equipped with TPM, the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) will incorrectly
learn that the vehicle has TPM after the replacement SKREEM is installed. The TPM indicator in
the EMIC will illuminate to show a TPM fault condition after TPM has been disabled in the
SKREEM. The EMIC must unlearn TPM to correct this false TPM indication. Follow the
programming steps outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for CLEAR LEARNED FEATURES under
MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS for the INSTRUMENT CLUSTER 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 three attempts are made to enter secure access mode using an
incorrect PIN, secure access mode will be locked out for one hour. To exit this lockout mode, turn
the ignition to the RUN position for one hour then enter the correct PIN. Be certain that all
accessories are turned OFF. Also monitor the battery state and connect a battery charger if
necessary.
PROGRAMMING IGNITION KEYS TO THE SKREEM
Each ignition key transponder also has a unique ID code that is assigned at the time the key is
manufactured. When a key is programmed into the SKREEM/WCM, the transponder ID code is
learned by the module and the transponder acquires the unique Secret Key ID code from the
SKREEM/WCM. To program ignition keys into the SKREEM/WCM, follow the programming steps
outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for PROGRAM IGNITION KEYS OR KEY FOBS under
MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS for the WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE/WCM menu item.
NOTE: A maximum of eight keys can be learned to each SKREEM. Once a key is learned to a
SKREEM, that key has acquired the Secret Key for that SKREEM and cannot be transferred to any
other SKREEM or vehicle.
If ignition key programming is unsuccessful, the scan tool will display one of the following error
messages:
PROGRAMMING NOT ATTEMPTED - The scan tool attempts to read the programmed key status
and there are no keys programmed into SKREEM memory.
- PROGRAMMING KEY FAILED (POSSIBLE USED KEY FROM WRONG VEHICLE) - SKREEM is
unable to program an ignition key transponder due to one of the following:
- The ignition key transponder is ineffective.
- The ignition key transponder is or has been already programmed to another vehicle.
- 8 KEYS ALREADY LEARNED, PROGRAMMING NOT DONE - The SKREEM transponder ID
memory is full.
- LEARNED KEY IN IGNITION - The ID for the ignition key transponder currently in the ignition lock
cylinder is already programmed into SKREEM memory.

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

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

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

Parking Assist Distance Sensor: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with the park assist system have four park assist sensors (1) installed on the
rear bumper fascia. Only the membrane (3) of each sensor is visible through a hole in the outer
vertical surface of the fascia. The remainder of each sensor including the sensor mounting bracket,
the sensor spacer and the sensor wiring connection is concealed behind the fascia. A sensor wire
harness behind the fascia connects the sensors to the vehicle electrical system.
Each of the four sensors is identical in construction and is interchangeable. The electronic circuitry
and a communication chip for each sensor is enclosed and protected within the molded black
plastic sensor housing. The housing includes an integral connector receptacle (4) and two integral
latch tabs (2). The sensor membrane extends from the surface of the sensor housing, and is
finished to match or contrast with the outer surface of the fascia.
A resilient O-ring spacer around the circumference of each of the four sensor membranes (2)
isolates the membrane from the openings in the fascia (1). Each sensor is snapped into its own
dedicated molded plastic mounting bracket. Each mounting bracket is heat-staked to the back side
of the rear fascia.
The park assist sensors cannot be adjusted or repaired. If ineffective or damaged they must be
replaced. The sensors and the spacers are each available for individual service replacement.

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

wheel trim cover. The switch on the left spoke is the seek switch and has seek up, seek down, and
preset station advance functions. The switch on the right spoke is the volume control switch and
has volume up, and volume down functions. The switch on the right spoke also includes a "mode"
control that allows the driver to sequentially select AM radio, FM radio, cassette player or CD
player.

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

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 > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Towing / Trailer System > Trailer Connector >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9874
- 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.

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.

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

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

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
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.

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.

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 Group 30, so it is shown there
complete. It can, however, be shown partially in another group if it contains some associated
wiring.
Splice diagrams show the entire splice and provide references to other sections the splices serves.

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.

- 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.

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

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

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

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

Power Trunk / Liftgate Hazard Sensor: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
Pinch sensors (2) are located on each side of the liftgate (1). These sensors look like
weather-strips, however they consist of pieces of electrically conductive rubber (tapeswitch), wires,
resistor, double sided tape, and a plastic carrier. They are used to indicate an obstruction during a
power liftgate close cycle. The right side pinch sensor contains a thermistor that is integral to the
pinch sensor assembly. The thermistor is a temperature sensor used by the power liftgate control
module to enable proper liftgate operation in extreme climate conditions.

Power Trunk / Liftgate Hazard Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
During a power liftgate "close" cycle, if either of the two conductive rubber strips (tapeswitch) of the
pinch sensor come in contact with an obstacle, the pinch sensor circuit is completed. This tells the
power liftgate control module that a obstruction is felt. The control module will stop the liftgate
immediately and return it to the full open position.
The thermistor portion of the right pinch sensor provides the temperature signal to the power
liftgate control module (temperature is provided when the pinch sensor is in an unpinched
condition; when pinched, temperature is unavailable because the thermistor is shorted). As the
outside temperature increases, the resistance reading decreases. As temperature decreases, the
resistance reading increases.

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

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

Trunk / Liftgate Motor: Description and Operation Power Liftgate Drive Unit
Description
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with a power liftgate system, utilize a power liftgate drive unit (3). The drive unit
assembly consists of a DC motor, gear position sensor, clutch, full-open switch, housing/bracket
assembly and wire harness. The clutch and motor portion of the assembly provides the power and
torque required to open or close the liftgate (5) under most conditions. The Hall Effect position
sensor is used to provide the liftgate control module with a clutch/motor speed signal. This speed
signal is used to monitor any resistance of liftgate travel and allows the liftgate control module to
detect obstructions and control the liftgate accordingly. The clutch assembly is used to allow
automatic power open/close mode and full manual operation, if desired. The full-open switch is
used to let the liftgate control module know when the liftgate is approaching the full open position.
The drive unit (3) is secured to the D-pillar (1) with three retaining bolts (4). The drive unit (3) is
connected the liftgate (5) with the link rod (6).
The drive unit cannot be adjusted or repaired and if damaged or inoperative must be replaced.
Operation
OPERATION
LIFTGATE IS CLOSED
The power liftgate open command can be initiated by either one press of the power liftgate
overhead console switch or two presses of the key fob power liftgate button. The overhead console
switch is hardwired to the power liftgate control module, where as the key fob signal is sent out on
the Controller Area Network (CAN) Data Bus circuit. This signal is detected by the power liftgate
control module. The power liftgate control module then interprets the information to confirm safety
requirements are met. The control module will then signal the liftgate mounted latch assembly to
release the liftgate from its primary closed and latched position to the ajar and movable position.
The power liftgate drive unit then takes over to move the liftgate into the full open position.
LIFTGATE IS OPEN
The power liftgate close command can be initiated by either one press of the power liftgate
overhead console switch or two presses of the key fob power liftgate button. The overhead console
switch is hardwired to the power liftgate control module, where as the key fob signal is sent out on
the Controller Area Network (CAN) Data Bus circuit. This signal is detected by the power liftgate
control module. The power liftgate control module then interprets the information to confirm safety
requirements are met. The control module will then signal the power liftgate drive unit to move the
liftgate into the closed position. Once the liftgate mounted latch reaches the body mounted striker
assembly, the power latch takes over to cinch the liftgate to the fully closed and latched position.
If a obstacle is encountered during a power open or close cycle, the power liftgate control module
will automatically reverse direction of the liftgate to prevent vehicle damage or personal injury.

Trunk / Liftgate Switch: Description and Operation Overhead Console Liftgate Switch
Description
DESCRIPTION
NOTE: The overhead console shown contains a combination power liftgate/power sunroof switch.
Vehicles equipped with the power liftgate and no sunroof contain a single power liftgate switch
only.
NOTE: On vehicles equipped with both a power sunroof and power liftgate the overhead console
switches are serviced together as one assembly.
NOTE: Durango overhead console with Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) shown.
Aspen overhead console similar.
The power liftgate switch (3) is mounted in the overhead console assembly (1) between the reading
lamps (2). The switch is snapped into mounting slots in the overhead console assembly. The
momentary, push button-type power liftgate switch, provides a hardwired signal to the Power
Liftgate Control Module.
If the switch is inoperative or damaged the power liftgate/power sunroof switch assembly must be
replaced.
Operation
OPERATION
Battery voltage is supplied to the power liftgate system through a fuse, located in the Integrated
Power Module (IPM) assembly. When the power liftgate switch is pushed, a hardwired signal is
sent to the Power Liftgate Control Module. The power liftgate control module then interprets the
information to confirm safety requirements are met before applying power to the power liftgate drive
unit to start a power cycle.
During a power liftgate open or close cycle, if the power liftgate control module detects sufficient
resistance to liftgate travel, such as an obstruction in the liftgate's path. The control module will
immediately stop liftgate movement and reverse the direction of travel to the full open or closed
position.

Trunk / Liftgate Switch: Description and Operation Exterior Handle Switch
Description
DESCRIPTION
All vehicles are equipped with a power liftgate exterior handle switch. The switch is integral to the
power liftgate latch assembly. It is activated by the exterior handle, located in the license plate light
bar, through a mechanical link rod attaching the two together. The power liftgate exterior handle
switch is primarily used for manual opening of the liftgate. Activation of the switch during a
automatic power "close" cycle will cause the liftgate to reverse direction. Activation of the switch
during a power "open" cycle will cause the power liftgate to disengage, allowing full manual
operation.
The exterior handle cannot be adjusted or repaired and if damaged it must be replaced.
The power liftgate exterior handle switch cannot be adjusted or repaired and if damaged or
inoperative the complete power liftgate latch assembly must be replaced.
Operation
OPERATION
When the exterior liftgate handle is pulled, a mechanical linkage inside the liftgate depresses the
power liftgate exterior handle switch in the power liftgate latch assembly. A hard-wired signal is
then detected by the Power Liftgate Control Module. The power liftgate control module then looks
at the vehicle lock status on the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus. If the vehicle is not
locked and the operating conditions are met, the power liftgate control module then applies power
to the latch mounted motor, which moves the liftgate from the primary closed and latched position
to the open and movable position.
If the liftgate is not pulled open within seven seconds, once the latch releases, the latch will
automatically cinch closed.

Trunk / Liftgate Switch: Testing and Inspection
OVERHEAD CONSOLE LIFTGATE SWITCH
Diagnostic resistors are present inside the overhead console liftgate switch. These resistors are
used by the power liftgate control module to determine if the switch is stuck, disconnected, shorted
or otherwise damaged. Refer to the OVERHEAD CONSOLE LIFTGATE SWITCH DIAGNOSTIC
TABLE to test the switch resistance.
NOTE: Test table readings are ±2%.

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

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

Keyless Entry Module: Testing and Inspection
SKREEM PROGRAMMING
When a Powertrain Control Module (PCM) for a gasoline engine, or an Engine Control Module
(ECM) for a diesel engine and the Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM) (also known as
the Wireless Control Module/WCM) on vehicles equipped with the Sentry Key Immobilizer System
(SKIS) are replaced at the same time, perform the following steps in order:
1. Program the new PCM/ECM.
2. Program the new SKREEM/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/ECM or SKREEM/WCM is replaced, it is necessary to program the Secret
Key into the new module using a diagnostic scan tool. Follow the programming steps outlined in
the diagnostic scan tool for PCM REPLACED, ECM REPLACED, WCM REPLACED, or
GATEWAY REPLACED under MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS for the WIRELESS CONTROL
MODULE/WCM menu item as appropriate.
NOTE: Be certain to enter the correct country code for the SKREEM/WCM. If the incorrect country
code is programmed into the SKREEM, it cannot be changed and the SKREEM must be replaced.
NOTE: In addition, the SKREEM/WCM must be configured for certain optional equipment in the
vehicle, including Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM), Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) and Remote Start.
Follow the programming steps outlined in the diagnostic scan tool under MISCELLANEOUS
FUNCTIONS for the WCM/WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE menu item as appropriate.
NOTE: A replacement SKREEM/WCM is supplied with TPM enabled by default; therefore, if the
vehicle is not equipped with TPM, the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) will incorrectly
learn that the vehicle has TPM after the replacement SKREEM is installed. The TPM indicator in
the EMIC will illuminate to show a TPM fault condition after TPM has been disabled in the
SKREEM. The EMIC must unlearn TPM to correct this false TPM indication. Follow the
programming steps outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for CLEAR LEARNED FEATURES under
MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS for the INSTRUMENT CLUSTER 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 three attempts are made to enter secure access mode using an
incorrect PIN, secure access mode will be locked out for one hour. To exit this lockout mode, turn
the ignition to the RUN position for one hour then enter the correct PIN. Be certain that all
accessories are turned OFF. Also monitor the battery state and connect a battery charger if
necessary.
PROGRAMMING IGNITION KEYS TO THE SKREEM
Each ignition key transponder also has a unique ID code that is assigned at the time the key is
manufactured. When a key is programmed into the SKREEM/WCM, the transponder ID code is
learned by the module and the transponder acquires the unique Secret Key ID code from the
SKREEM/WCM. To program ignition keys into the SKREEM/WCM, follow the programming steps
outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for PROGRAM IGNITION KEYS OR KEY FOBS under
MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS for the WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE/WCM menu item.
NOTE: A maximum of eight keys can be learned to each SKREEM. Once a key is learned to a
SKREEM, that key has acquired the Secret Key for that SKREEM and cannot be transferred to any
other SKREEM or vehicle.
If ignition key programming is unsuccessful, the scan tool will display one of the following error
messages:
PROGRAMMING NOT ATTEMPTED - The scan tool attempts to read the programmed key status
and there are no keys programmed into SKREEM memory.
- PROGRAMMING KEY FAILED (POSSIBLE USED KEY FROM WRONG VEHICLE) - SKREEM is
unable to program an ignition key transponder due to one of the following:
- The ignition key transponder is ineffective.
- The ignition key transponder is or has been already programmed to another vehicle.
- 8 KEYS ALREADY LEARNED, PROGRAMMING NOT DONE - The SKREEM transponder ID
memory is full.
- LEARNED KEY IN IGNITION - The ID for the ignition key transponder currently in the ignition lock
cylinder is already programmed into SKREEM memory.

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

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

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

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

A memory setting is saved by pressing the "set" button, then pressing either the memory 1 inch or
2 inch button within 5 seconds of pressing the "set" button.
A memory setting is recalled by pressing either the memory 1 inch or 2 inch button, or by pressing
the unlock button on a "linke" Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter.
For driver safety, memorized settings can not be recalled if the transmission is in a position other
than Park or the seat belt is latched.
Both driver and passenger modules provide active and stored Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC's) to
aid in diagnosis.
Both modules are identical in appearance with the exception of an extra ground wire on the driver
side memory mirror module.

Memory Positioning Module: Description and Operation Module-Seat Memory
Description
DESCRIPTION
NOTE: The scan tool standardization process must be performed on the Memory Seat Module
(MSM) any time a new module is installed or the existing module is reflashed.
The Memory Seat Module (MSM) is located underneath the driver seat, towards the front and on
the outboard side. It is used in conjunction with the other modules in the memory system to recall
the seat to one of two preset seat functional adjustments (horizontal, vertical, and recliner). The
switch for the memory seat programming and selection mounts on the driver door trim panel. The
MSM also controls the adjustable pedals, both for the memory and manual functionality. The
adjustable accelerator and brake pedals are available on SLT and Limited models. On Limited,
their positioning can be stored for recall by the memory system, allowing for two drivers to have
unique, pre-programmed settings.
Operation
OPERATION
POWER/MEMORY SEAT
The memory seat module receives input from the 8-way power seat switch, the driver seat position
sensors, adjustable pedal control circuits (switch, sensor, and motor), and the data bus circuit. The
memory switch, is wired to the memory mirror module which sends the message over the data bus.
The memory seat module performs the following functions:
- Positions the driver seat (vertical, horizontal, and recliner positions) and adjustable pedals.
- Sends the memory save or recall (#1 or #2) command over the data bus circuit to the memory
mirror modules, HVAC, and radio.
- Provides for "linking" the key FOBs to memory.
- Provides for the easy entry/exit feature.
- Provides the tilt mirrors in reverse feature
When a memory button is pressed (#1 or #2) on the memory switch, the driver door memory mirror
module sends a recall message to the memory seat module (MSM). Then the MSM will position the
driver seat and adjustable pedals to its preprogrammed location/setting. When the Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) Transmitter button is pressed, depending on which transmitter (#1 or #2), the
SKREEM (RKE Receiver) sends the recall request and FOB number (#1 or #2) data message. This
RKE transmitter function depends on if the MSM is programmed to trigger the recall (linked FOBs).
A memory setting is saved by pressing the "set" button, then pressing either the memory 1 inch or
2 inch button within 5 seconds of pressing the "set" button.
A memory setting is recalled by pressing either the memory 1 inch or 2 inch button, or by pressing
the unlock button on a "linked" Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter.
For driver safety, memorized settings can not be recalled if the transmission is in any position other
than park or the seat belt is latched.
A key FOB is "linked" to a memory setting by pressing the "set" button and then pressing either the
memory 1 inch or 2 inch button within 5 seconds of pressing the set button, then by pressing the
"lock" button on the selected key FOB.

The memory system "Easy Entry and /Exit" feature provides the driver with more room to enter or
exit the vehicle. The Easy Entry and Exit feature is disabled when the vehicle leaves the factory. An
authorized dealer can enable this feature. When the seat is in a memorized position, it will move
rearward 55 millimeters or to the end of its travel, whichever occurs first, when the key is removed
from the ignition switch lock cylinder. The seat will return to the memory position when the driver
turns the vehicle's ignition switch out of the LOCK position.
The memory system "learns" the seat and adjustable pedal motor maximum end positions when
the motor reaches the limit of travel in any direction and stalls. Subsequently, movement will stop
just short of that position to avoid extra stress on the motors and mechanisms. If the system
learned a maximum position as a result of an obstruction, as for instance if a large object was
placed on the floor behind the seat, the system can relearn the "true" maximum position through
manually operating the power seat after the obstruction is removed.
NOTE: It is normal for the power accessories contained in the memory system to stop at the
maximum "learned" position and then continue to the "true" maximum position when the control
switch is released and then applied in the same direction a second time.
Certain functions and features of the memory system rely upon resources shared with other
electronic modules in the vehicle over the Controller Area Network (CAN) bus. The CAN bus allows
the sharing of sensor information. This helps to reduce wire harness complexity, internal controller
hardware, and component sensor current loads. At the same time, this system provides increased
reliability, enhanced diagnostics, and allows the addition of many new feature capabilities. For
diagnosis of these electronic modules or of the CAN bus, the use of a scan tool and the proper
diagnostic information are needed.
The tilt mirrors in reverse feature provides for tilting the sideview (outside) mirrors down a
predetermined angle, providing a better view of the ground next to the rear portion of the vehicle.
The tilt mirrors in reverse feature is disabled when the vehicle leaves the factory. An authorized
dealer can enable this feature. Operation of the tilt mirrors is as follows:
- Sideview mirrors will tilt down when the vehicle transmission is shifted into Reverse.
- Sideview mirrors will return to the original position when the vehicle transmission is shifted out of
Reverse.
ADJUSTABLE PEDALS
The pedals swing on a large arc, the radius and angle of which were selected on the basis of
ergonomic studies, that puts them in the proper position for use by the smaller driver - higher and
angled upward as well as rearward. Powered by the small electric motor driving a gear train at
each pedal, adjustment is precise, quiet, and smooth throughout the range. A paddle-type switch
on the instrument panel to the left of the steering column actuates the electric motor-driven
mechanism through the memory seat module (MSM). Pushing up the paddle brings the pedals
closer and vice versa. Movement stops when the switch is released. MSM logic prevents pedal
adjustment when the automatic speed control (cruise control) is set (controlling speed), and when
the transmission is in reverse. This feature protects against a loss of reference position when
neither foot is on the pedal.

Power Mirror Switch: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
A power mirror switch is located on the driver's door trim panel, attached to the window/lock switch.
The power mirror switch includes the following:
- Power Mirror Selector Switch - A three-position rotary joystick switch selects the right or left power
mirror for adjustment, or turns the power mirror system Off in the center position.
- Power Mirror Adjustment Switch - A momentary joystick directional switch allows the driver to
adjust the selected power mirror in the Up, Down, Right or Left directions.

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

DATE: May 01, 2007
SUBJECT: Only Warm Cabin Air Output From HVAC System
OVERVIEW: This bulletin involves the infrared (IR) temperature sensor used on automatic
temperature control (A/C).
MODELS:
2007 (HB/HG) Durango/Aspen
2008 (JS27) Sebring Convertible
2007 (JS41) Sebring
2008 (JS41) Avenger
NOTE:
This bulletin applies to vehicles equipped with an Automatic Temperature Control system (sales
code HAB for JS or HAF for HB/HG) and built on or before March 27, 2007 (MDH 0327XX).
SYMPTOM/CONDITION:
The customer may notice, while in automatic temperature control mode, that the driver and front
passenger cabin air output from the HVAC system remains warm. Adjusting the HVAC temperature
settings, while in the automatic temperature control mode, to a cooler temperature will not change
the warm cabin air output. The warm cabin air output can also occur when operating in manual
temperature control mode, with the exception of the full cold (LO) temperature selection.
When in automatic or manual temperature control, all HVAC modes (defrost, floor, bi-level, etc.)
operate as designed. This condition may be due to the HVAC system infrared (IR) temperature
sensor that "locks" at one temperature and fails to change.
DIAGNOSIS:
1. Connect the StarSCAN(R) to the vehicle Diagnostic Link Connector (DLC).
2. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position. Power up the StarSCAN(R).
3. If the vehicle is a HB/HG:
a. From the StarSCAN(R) Main Menu select "ECU View".
b. Select "HVAC Heat, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning".
c. Select "Data Display".
d. Scroll down to "Bussed Inputs".
e. Scroll down to "I/R Sensor On Time".
f. Monitor the current reading for the "I/R Sensor On Time" (displayed in milliseconds).
4. If the vehicle is a JS:
a. From the StarSCAN(R) Main Menu select "ECU View".
b. Select "HVAC Heat, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning".
c. Select "Data Display".

d. Scroll down to "I/R Temp".
e. Monitor the current temperature reading for the "I/R Temp".
5. While monitoring "I/R Sensor On Time" or "I/R Temp" reading, place a finger over the face of the
infrared sensor (located in the overhead console or windshield header). The "I/R Sensor On Time"
or "I/R Temp" reading should change rapidly as a finger is placed on and off of the infrared sensor.
A suspect I/R sensor will not change reading.
6. Did the "I/R Sensor On Time" or "I/R Temp reading change?
a. If YES >>>> then STOP. This bulletin does not apply. Further diagnosis is required.
b. If NO >>>> then perform the Repair Procedure.
7. Turn the ignition switch to the "OFF" position.
PARTS REQUIRED:
SPECIAL TOOLS/EQUIPMENT REQUIRED:
REPAIR PROCEDURE:
1. Replace the infrared sensor. For detailed repair procedures refer to TechCONNECT. Select the
SERVICE INFO tab, then: 24 - Heating and Air Conditioning / 24 - HVAC - Service Information /

Paint: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION
The original equipment paint finish is a multi step process that involves cleaning, applying electro
de-position (E-coat), anti-chip primer, basecoat, and clearcoat steps.
CAUTION: Do not use abrasive chemicals, abrasive compounds or harsh alkaline based cleaning
solvents on the painted surfaces of a vehicle. Failure to follow this caution can result in damage to
vehicle finish.
On most vehicles a two-part paint application (basecoat/clearcoat) is used. Color paint that is
applied to primer is called basecoat. A clear coat paint is then applied to protect the basecoat from
ultraviolet light and to provide a durable high-gloss finish.

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.
STANDARD PROCEDURE
1. Scrape loose paint and corrosion from inside scratch or chip. 2. Clean affected area with
MOPAR(R) Tar/Road Oil Remover or equivalent, 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.

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

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

Keyless Entry Module: Testing and Inspection
SKREEM PROGRAMMING
When a Powertrain Control Module (PCM) for a gasoline engine, or an Engine Control Module
(ECM) for a diesel engine and the Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM) (also known as
the Wireless Control Module/WCM) on vehicles equipped with the Sentry Key Immobilizer System
(SKIS) are replaced at the same time, perform the following steps in order:
1. Program the new PCM/ECM.
2. Program the new SKREEM/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/ECM or SKREEM/WCM is replaced, it is necessary to program the Secret
Key into the new module using a diagnostic scan tool. Follow the programming steps outlined in
the diagnostic scan tool for PCM REPLACED, ECM REPLACED, WCM REPLACED, or
GATEWAY REPLACED under MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS for the WIRELESS CONTROL
MODULE/WCM menu item as appropriate.
NOTE: Be certain to enter the correct country code for the SKREEM/WCM. If the incorrect country
code is programmed into the SKREEM, it cannot be changed and the SKREEM must be replaced.
NOTE: In addition, the SKREEM/WCM must be configured for certain optional equipment in the
vehicle, including Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM), Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) and Remote Start.
Follow the programming steps outlined in the diagnostic scan tool under MISCELLANEOUS
FUNCTIONS for the WCM/WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE menu item as appropriate.
NOTE: A replacement SKREEM/WCM is supplied with TPM enabled by default; therefore, if the
vehicle is not equipped with TPM, the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) will incorrectly
learn that the vehicle has TPM after the replacement SKREEM is installed. The TPM indicator in
the EMIC will illuminate to show a TPM fault condition after TPM has been disabled in the
SKREEM. The EMIC must unlearn TPM to correct this false TPM indication. Follow the
programming steps outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for CLEAR LEARNED FEATURES under
MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS for the INSTRUMENT CLUSTER 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 three attempts are made to enter secure access mode using an
incorrect PIN, secure access mode will be locked out for one hour. To exit this lockout mode, turn
the ignition to the RUN position for one hour then enter the correct PIN. Be certain that all
accessories are turned OFF. Also monitor the battery state and connect a battery charger if
necessary.
PROGRAMMING IGNITION KEYS TO THE SKREEM
Each ignition key transponder also has a unique ID code that is assigned at the time the key is
manufactured. When a key is programmed into the SKREEM/WCM, the transponder ID code is
learned by the module and the transponder acquires the unique Secret Key ID code from the
SKREEM/WCM. To program ignition keys into the SKREEM/WCM, follow the programming steps
outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for PROGRAM IGNITION KEYS OR KEY FOBS under
MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS for the WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE/WCM menu item.
NOTE: A maximum of eight keys can be learned to each SKREEM. Once a key is learned to a
SKREEM, that key has acquired the Secret Key for that SKREEM and cannot be transferred to any
other SKREEM or vehicle.
If ignition key programming is unsuccessful, the scan tool will display one of the following error
messages:
PROGRAMMING NOT ATTEMPTED - The scan tool attempts to read the programmed key status
and there are no keys programmed into SKREEM memory.
- PROGRAMMING KEY FAILED (POSSIBLE USED KEY FROM WRONG VEHICLE) - SKREEM is
unable to program an ignition key transponder due to one of the following:
- The ignition key transponder is ineffective.
- The ignition key transponder is or has been already programmed to another vehicle.
- 8 KEYS ALREADY LEARNED, PROGRAMMING NOT DONE - The SKREEM transponder ID
memory is full.
- LEARNED KEY IN IGNITION - The ID for the ignition key transponder currently in the ignition lock
cylinder is already programmed into SKREEM memory.

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

A memory setting is saved by pressing the "set" button, then pressing either the memory 1 inch or
2 inch button within 5 seconds of pressing the "set" button.
A memory setting is recalled by pressing either the memory 1 inch or 2 inch button, or by pressing
the unlock button on a "linke" Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter.
For driver safety, memorized settings can not be recalled if the transmission is in a position other
than Park or the seat belt is latched.
Both driver and passenger modules provide active and stored Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC's) to
aid in diagnosis.
Both modules are identical in appearance with the exception of an extra ground wire on the driver
side memory mirror module.

Memory Positioning Module: Description and Operation Module-Seat Memory
Description
DESCRIPTION
NOTE: The scan tool standardization process must be performed on the Memory Seat Module
(MSM) any time a new module is installed or the existing module is reflashed.
The Memory Seat Module (MSM) is located underneath the driver seat, towards the front and on
the outboard side. It is used in conjunction with the other modules in the memory system to recall
the seat to one of two preset seat functional adjustments (horizontal, vertical, and recliner). The
switch for the memory seat programming and selection mounts on the driver door trim panel. The
MSM also controls the adjustable pedals, both for the memory and manual functionality. The
adjustable accelerator and brake pedals are available on SLT and Limited models. On Limited,
their positioning can be stored for recall by the memory system, allowing for two drivers to have
unique, pre-programmed settings.
Operation
OPERATION
POWER/MEMORY SEAT
The memory seat module receives input from the 8-way power seat switch, the driver seat position
sensors, adjustable pedal control circuits (switch, sensor, and motor), and the data bus circuit. The
memory switch, is wired to the memory mirror module which sends the message over the data bus.
The memory seat module performs the following functions:
- Positions the driver seat (vertical, horizontal, and recliner positions) and adjustable pedals.
- Sends the memory save or recall (#1 or #2) command over the data bus circuit to the memory
mirror modules, HVAC, and radio.
- Provides for "linking" the key FOBs to memory.
- Provides for the easy entry/exit feature.
- Provides the tilt mirrors in reverse feature
When a memory button is pressed (#1 or #2) on the memory switch, the driver door memory mirror
module sends a recall message to the memory seat module (MSM). Then the MSM will position the
driver seat and adjustable pedals to its preprogrammed location/setting. When the Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) Transmitter button is pressed, depending on which transmitter (#1 or #2), the
SKREEM (RKE Receiver) sends the recall request and FOB number (#1 or #2) data message. This
RKE transmitter function depends on if the MSM is programmed to trigger the recall (linked FOBs).
A memory setting is saved by pressing the "set" button, then pressing either the memory 1 inch or
2 inch button within 5 seconds of pressing the "set" button.
A memory setting is recalled by pressing either the memory 1 inch or 2 inch button, or by pressing
the unlock button on a "linked" Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter.
For driver safety, memorized settings can not be recalled if the transmission is in any position other
than park or the seat belt is latched.
A key FOB is "linked" to a memory setting by pressing the "set" button and then pressing either the
memory 1 inch or 2 inch button within 5 seconds of pressing the set button, then by pressing the
"lock" button on the selected key FOB.

The memory system "Easy Entry and /Exit" feature provides the driver with more room to enter or
exit the vehicle. The Easy Entry and Exit feature is disabled when the vehicle leaves the factory. An
authorized dealer can enable this feature. When the seat is in a memorized position, it will move
rearward 55 millimeters or to the end of its travel, whichever occurs first, when the key is removed
from the ignition switch lock cylinder. The seat will return to the memory position when the driver
turns the vehicle's ignition switch out of the LOCK position.
The memory system "learns" the seat and adjustable pedal motor maximum end positions when
the motor reaches the limit of travel in any direction and stalls. Subsequently, movement will stop
just short of that position to avoid extra stress on the motors and mechanisms. If the system
learned a maximum position as a result of an obstruction, as for instance if a large object was
placed on the floor behind the seat, the system can relearn the "true" maximum position through
manually operating the power seat after the obstruction is removed.
NOTE: It is normal for the power accessories contained in the memory system to stop at the
maximum "learned" position and then continue to the "true" maximum position when the control
switch is released and then applied in the same direction a second time.
Certain functions and features of the memory system rely upon resources shared with other
electronic modules in the vehicle over the Controller Area Network (CAN) bus. The CAN bus allows
the sharing of sensor information. This helps to reduce wire harness complexity, internal controller
hardware, and component sensor current loads. At the same time, this system provides increased
reliability, enhanced diagnostics, and allows the addition of many new feature capabilities. For
diagnosis of these electronic modules or of the CAN bus, the use of a scan tool and the proper
diagnostic information are needed.
The tilt mirrors in reverse feature provides for tilting the sideview (outside) mirrors down a
predetermined angle, providing a better view of the ground next to the rear portion of the vehicle.
The tilt mirrors in reverse feature is disabled when the vehicle leaves the factory. An authorized
dealer can enable this feature. Operation of the tilt mirrors is as follows:
- Sideview mirrors will tilt down when the vehicle transmission is shifted into Reverse.
- Sideview mirrors will return to the original position when the vehicle transmission is shifted out of
Reverse.
ADJUSTABLE PEDALS
The pedals swing on a large arc, the radius and angle of which were selected on the basis of
ergonomic studies, that puts them in the proper position for use by the smaller driver - higher and
angled upward as well as rearward. Powered by the small electric motor driving a gear train at
each pedal, adjustment is precise, quiet, and smooth throughout the range. A paddle-type switch
on the instrument panel to the left of the steering column actuates the electric motor-driven
mechanism through the memory seat module (MSM). Pushing up the paddle brings the pedals
closer and vice versa. Movement stops when the switch is released. MSM logic prevents pedal
adjustment when the automatic speed control (cruise control) is set (controlling speed), and when
the transmission is in reverse. This feature protects against a loss of reference position when
neither foot is on the pedal.

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

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

Seat Heater Control Module: Description and Operation Module-Heated Seat
Description
DESCRIPTION
The heated seat module (2) is located behind the right rear D-pillar trim (1). The heated seat
module has a single electrical connector (3).
The heated seat module is an microprocessor designed to use CAN bus messages from the cluster
Cabin Compartment Node (CCN) to operate the heated seat elements in both front seats.
Operation
OPERATION
The heated seat module operates on fused battery current received from the ignition switch. The
module is grounded at all times through a ground lug on the right rear D-pillar. Inputs to the module
include CAN bus messages and standard hardwired 12volt power and ground. In response to
those inputs the heated seat module controls the battery current to the heated seat elements.
When a heated seat switch CAN bus signal is received by the heated seat module, the module
energizes the selected heated seat element. The Low heat set point is about 38° C (100.4° F), and
the High heat set point is about 42° C (107.6° F).
If the heated seat module detects a heated seat element OPEN or SHORT circuit, it will record and
store an diagnostic trouble code (DTC).

Seat Heater Control Module: Description and Operation Switch/Module - Second Row Heated Seat
Description
DESCRIPTION
Momentary contact push button switch/modules (2) mounted in the front face of the second row
center floor console (3) operate the heated second row seat system. Each heated seat
switch/module has two Light-Emitting Diode (LED) indicator lamps, which indicate the selected
level (Low or High) of the seat heater. Pressing the switch/module button initiates heat. Heat
remains on until switched off or until the ignition is turned off. If switched off by the ignition, a
switch/module button must be pressed to restart heating.
The switch/modules contain the solid state electronic control and diagnostic logic circuitry for the
heated second row seat system. If any of the heated second row seat elements are inoperative or
damaged one or more of the LED lamps in the switch/module for the effected seat will flash.
The LED indicator lamps in each heated seat switch/module cannot be repaired. If the LED lamps
are inoperative or damaged, or the switch/module is inoperative or damaged the individual heated
seat switch/module assembly must be replaced.
Operation
OPERATION
A Heated Seat Switch/Module is used to control the heated second row seat system. The heated
seat switch/modules receive battery current through a fused ignition switch output (run) circuit
when the ignition switch is in the On position. The switch/module responds to heated seat
switch/module button input and ignition switch status inputs by controlling the 12v output to the
front seat heating elements through integral solid-state relays.
When either of the heated seat switch/module buttons are depressed the heating element for the
selected seat is energized. Amber Light Emitting Diodes (LEDS) on the side of each switch/module
indicate the level of heat in use: Two LEDs are illuminated for high, one for low, and none for off.
Pressing the switch/module button once will select high-level heating. Pressing the button a second
time will select low-level heating. Pressing the button a third time will shut the heating elements off.
The heated seat switch/module energizes an integral solid-state relay, which supplies battery
current to the heating elements. When high-temperature heating is selected, the heaters provide a
boosted heat level during the first four minutes of operation after heating is activated. The heat
output then drops to the normal high-temperature level. If high-level heating is selected, the control
system will automatically switch to the low level after thirty minutes of continuous operation. At that
time, the number of illuminated LEDs changes from two to one, indicating the change. Operation
on the low setting will continue for another thirty minutes and the system will then be automatically
turned off.

NOTE:
Turning the applicator around can aid in getting the coating as far into the corner as possible (Fig.
5).
NOTE:
This area is important because it has been determined that from both front corners to about 3
inches inboard is where most of the sound originates.
10. Repeat Step # 8 and Step # 9 on the other side of the glass panel.
11. Allow the lubricant to dry for at least 3 minutes.

SUBJECT:
FLASH: Wrong Driver Seat Position May Occur After A Remote Start Event
OVERVIEW:
This bulletin involves selectively erasing and reprogramming the Memory Seat Module (MSMD)
with new software.
MODELS:
2006 - 2007 (HB) Durango
2007 (HG) Aspen
2007 (WH) Grand Cherokee (International Markets)
2007 (WK) Grand Cherokee
2007 (XH) Commander (International Markets)
2007 (XK) Commander
NOTE:
This bulletin applies to vehicles equipped with Remote Start (sales code XBM).
SYMPTOM/CONDITION:
The MSMD interprets the remote start event as an OFF-to-RUN ignition key transition instead of a
remote start, resulting in either the movement of the driver seat to the memory driving position prior
to driver entry or, no movement from the Easy Exit position following the actual OFF-to-RUN
ignition key transition.
DIAGNOSIS:
Using a Scan Tool (StarSCAN(R)) with the appropriate Diagnostic Procedures available in
TechCONNECT, verify all systems are functioning as designed. If DTCs are present record them
on the repair order and repair as necessary before proceeding further with this bulletin.
If the vehicle operator describes or experiences the Symptom/Condition, perform the Repair
Procedure.

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

Component Information > Description and Operation > Module-Memory Mirror > Page 10905
A memory setting is saved by pressing the "set" button, then pressing either the memory 1 inch or
2 inch button within 5 seconds of pressing the "set" button.
A memory setting is recalled by pressing either the memory 1 inch or 2 inch button, or by pressing
the unlock button on a "linke" Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter.
For driver safety, memorized settings can not be recalled if the transmission is in a position other
than Park or the seat belt is latched.
Both driver and passenger modules provide active and stored Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC's) to
aid in diagnosis.
Both modules are identical in appearance with the exception of an extra ground wire on the driver
side memory mirror module.

Description
DESCRIPTION
NOTE: The scan tool standardization process must be performed on the Memory Seat Module
(MSM) any time a new module is installed or the existing module is reflashed.
The Memory Seat Module (MSM) is located underneath the driver seat, towards the front and on
the outboard side. It is used in conjunction with the other modules in the memory system to recall
the seat to one of two preset seat functional adjustments (horizontal, vertical, and recliner). The
switch for the memory seat programming and selection mounts on the driver door trim panel. The
MSM also controls the adjustable pedals, both for the memory and manual functionality. The
adjustable accelerator and brake pedals are available on SLT and Limited models. On Limited,
their positioning can be stored for recall by the memory system, allowing for two drivers to have
unique, pre-programmed settings.
Operation
OPERATION
POWER/MEMORY SEAT
The memory seat module receives input from the 8-way power seat switch, the driver seat position
sensors, adjustable pedal control circuits (switch, sensor, and motor), and the data bus circuit. The
memory switch, is wired to the memory mirror module which sends the message over the data bus.
The memory seat module performs the following functions:
- Positions the driver seat (vertical, horizontal, and recliner positions) and adjustable pedals.
- Sends the memory save or recall (#1 or #2) command over the data bus circuit to the memory
mirror modules, HVAC, and radio.
- Provides for "linking" the key FOBs to memory.
- Provides for the easy entry/exit feature.
- Provides the tilt mirrors in reverse feature
When a memory button is pressed (#1 or #2) on the memory switch, the driver door memory mirror
module sends a recall message to the memory seat module (MSM). Then the MSM will position the
driver seat and adjustable pedals to its preprogrammed location/setting. When the Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) Transmitter button is pressed, depending on which transmitter (#1 or #2), the
SKREEM (RKE Receiver) sends the recall request and FOB number (#1 or #2) data message. This
RKE transmitter function depends on if the MSM is programmed to trigger the recall (linked FOBs).
A memory setting is saved by pressing the "set" button, then pressing either the memory 1 inch or
2 inch button within 5 seconds of pressing the "set" button.
A memory setting is recalled by pressing either the memory 1 inch or 2 inch button, or by pressing
the unlock button on a "linked" Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter.
For driver safety, memorized settings can not be recalled if the transmission is in any position other
than park or the seat belt is latched.
A key FOB is "linked" to a memory setting by pressing the "set" button and then pressing either the
memory 1 inch or 2 inch button within 5 seconds of pressing the set button, then by pressing the
"lock" button on the selected key FOB.

The memory system "Easy Entry and /Exit" feature provides the driver with more room to enter or
exit the vehicle. The Easy Entry and Exit feature is disabled when the vehicle leaves the factory. An
authorized dealer can enable this feature. When the seat is in a memorized position, it will move
rearward 55 millimeters or to the end of its travel, whichever occurs first, when the key is removed
from the ignition switch lock cylinder. The seat will return to the memory position when the driver
turns the vehicle's ignition switch out of the LOCK position.
The memory system "learns" the seat and adjustable pedal motor maximum end positions when
the motor reaches the limit of travel in any direction and stalls. Subsequently, movement will stop
just short of that position to avoid extra stress on the motors and mechanisms. If the system
learned a maximum position as a result of an obstruction, as for instance if a large object was
placed on the floor behind the seat, the system can relearn the "true" maximum position through
manually operating the power seat after the obstruction is removed.
NOTE: It is normal for the power accessories contained in the memory system to stop at the
maximum "learned" position and then continue to the "true" maximum position when the control
switch is released and then applied in the same direction a second time.
Certain functions and features of the memory system rely upon resources shared with other
electronic modules in the vehicle over the Controller Area Network (CAN) bus. The CAN bus allows
the sharing of sensor information. This helps to reduce wire harness complexity, internal controller
hardware, and component sensor current loads. At the same time, this system provides increased
reliability, enhanced diagnostics, and allows the addition of many new feature capabilities. For
diagnosis of these electronic modules or of the CAN bus, the use of a scan tool and the proper
diagnostic information are needed.
The tilt mirrors in reverse feature provides for tilting the sideview (outside) mirrors down a
predetermined angle, providing a better view of the ground next to the rear portion of the vehicle.
The tilt mirrors in reverse feature is disabled when the vehicle leaves the factory. An authorized
dealer can enable this feature. Operation of the tilt mirrors is as follows:
- Sideview mirrors will tilt down when the vehicle transmission is shifted into Reverse.
- Sideview mirrors will return to the original position when the vehicle transmission is shifted out of
Reverse.
ADJUSTABLE PEDALS
The pedals swing on a large arc, the radius and angle of which were selected on the basis of
ergonomic studies, that puts them in the proper position for use by the smaller driver - higher and
angled upward as well as rearward. Powered by the small electric motor driving a gear train at
each pedal, adjustment is precise, quiet, and smooth throughout the range. A paddle-type switch
on the instrument panel to the left of the steering column actuates the electric motor-driven
mechanism through the memory seat module (MSM). Pushing up the paddle brings the pedals
closer and vice versa. Movement stops when the switch is released. MSM logic prevents pedal
adjustment when the automatic speed control (cruise control) is set (controlling speed), and when
the transmission is in reverse. This feature protects against a loss of reference position when
neither foot is on the pedal.

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

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Seats > Power Seat Switch > Component Information > Description and

Power Seat Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
When a power seat switch is actuated, a battery feed and a ground path are applied through the
switch contacts to the power seat adjuster or recliner adjuster motor. The selected adjuster motor
operates to move the seat or recliner through its drive unit in the selected direction until the switch
is released, or until the travel limit of the adjuster is reached. When the switch is moved in the
opposite direction, the battery feed and ground path to the motor are reversed through the switch
contacts. This causes the adjuster motor to run in the opposite direction.
On vehicles equipped with memory system, a resistance signal is sent to the Memory Seat Module
(MSM) via the Controller Area Network (CAN) bus circuit, when the driver memory seat switch
control knob is actuated. The MSM is responsible for the 12v battery feed and ground path to the
power seat adjuster motor. The adjuster motor operates to move the power seat adjuster
mechanism through its drive unit in the selected direction until the switch is released, or until the
travel limit of the adjuster is reached.
No power seat switch should be held applied in any direction after the adjuster has reached its
travel limit. The power seat adjuster motors each contain a self-resetting circuit breaker to protect
them from overload. However, consecutive or frequent resetting of the circuit breaker may result in
motor damage.

Description
HEATED SEAT SYSTEM
Vehicles with the heated seat option can be visually identified by the two heated seat switches
located in the center stack of the instrument panel. The heated seat system allows the driver and
front seat passenger to select from two different levels of electrical seat heating (HI/LO). The
heated seat system for this vehicle includes the following major components, which are described
in further detail later in this section:
- Heated Seat Elements - Four heated seat elements are used per vehicle. Two 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 behind the right rear D-pillar trim panel. This module contains the control logic and
software for the front heated seat system. The module also communicates on the CAN data bus
network.
- 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 CAN data bus
network. The Cab Compartment Node (CCN) serves as the link between the heated seat switches
and the heated seat module.
Operation
HEATED SEAT SYSTEM
The heated seat system operates on battery current received through a fuse in the Integrated
Power Module (IPM). Fused ignition switch output (run-acc) circuits are used, so that the heated
seat system will only operate when the ignition switch is in the On or Accessory positions. The
heated seat system will turn Off automatically whenever the ignition switch is turned to any position
except On or Accessory.
A Heated Seat Module is used to control the heated seat system. The module responds to heated
seat switch messages and ignition switch status inputs by controlling the 12v output to the front
seat heating elements through integral solid-state relays.
When either of the heated seat switches are depressed a resistance signal is sent to the Cab
Compartment Node (CCN) or instrument cluster. The Cab Compartment Node (CCN) then sends a
CAN bus message to the heated seat module, signaling the module to energize the heating
element for the selected seat. The Cab Compartment Node (CCN) also turns on the HI and LO
LED indicators on each of the heated seat switches.
The heated seat module energizes an integral solid-state relay, which supplies battery current to
the heating elements. When the pre-programmed duty-cycle has been achieved (approx. 2 hours),
the module de-energizes the solid-state relay. The module will continue to cycle the solid-state
relay as needed to maintain the temperature set point. No heated seat sensors are used with the
heated seat system option.
The module will automatically turn off the heating elements if it detects an OPEN or LOW short in
the heating element circuit. See the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for more information
on the features, use and operation of the heated seat system.

Seat Heater: Description and Operation Front Seats
Description
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with the optional heated seat system have two heated seat element located in
each front seat. One heating element is used for each seat cushion and another for each seat
back.
Each of the heated seat element consists of a single length of resistor wire that is routed in a
zigzag pattern and captured between the leather trim cover and the seat cushion assembly. Short
pigtail wires with connectors are soldered to each end of each resistor wire element grid, which
connect all of the element grids to each other in series with the heated seat module through the
wire harness.
The heated seat elements cannot be repaired. If found to be damaged or faulty, a new heating
element assembly must be installed.
Operation
OPERATION
One end of the heated seat element resistor wire is connected to ground at all times through a
splice under the seat. Battery current is directed to the other end of the heated seat element
resistor wire by the energized N-channel Field Effect Transistor located within the heated seat
module. The heated seat module will energize the N-FET when the heated seat switch is
depressed in the Low or High position.
As electrical current passes through the heating element grid, the resistance of the wire used in the
element disperses some of that electrical current in the form of heat. The heat produced by the
heated seat element grid then radiates through the underside of the seat cushion and seat back
trim covers, warming the seat cover and its occupant.

Seat Heater: Description and Operation Heated Seats - Second Row - Service Information
Description
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles with the heated second row seat option can be visually identified by the two heated seat
switches (2) located in the rear center floor console (3). The heated seat system allows the second
row seat passengers to select from two different levels of electrical seat heating (HI/LO). The
heated second row seat system for this vehicle includes the following major components:
- Heated Seat Switch/Module - Two heated seat switch/modules are used per vehicle, including
two Light-Emitting Diode (LED) indicator lamps for heat level indication. One switch/module for the
left and one for the right second row seats. The switch/modules contain the solid state electronic
control and diagnostic logic circuitry for the heated second row seat system. The switch/modules
are mounted in the front of the rear center floor console.
- Heated Seat Elements - Four heated seat elements are used per vehicle, one for each second
row seat back and seat cushion. The elements are integral to the second row seat cushion and
seat back foam and cannot be removed, once installed at the factory.
Operation
OPERATION
The heated second row seat system operates on battery current received through a fuse in the
Integrated Power Module (IPM). Fused ignition switch output (run) circuits are used, so that the
heated second row seat system will only operate when the ignition switch is in the On position. The
system will turn Off automatically whenever the ignition switch is turned to any position except On.
A Heated Seat Switch/Module is used to control the heated second row seat system. The
switch/module responds to heated seat switch/module button input and ignition switch status inputs
by controlling the 12v output to the second row seat heating elements through integral solid-state
relays.
When either of the heated seat switch/module buttons are depressed the heating element for the
selected seat is energized. Amber Light Emitting Diodes (LEDS) on the side of each switch/module
indicate the level of heat in use: Two LEDs are illuminated for high, one for low, and none for off.
Pressing the switch/module button once will select high-level heating. Pressing the button a second
time will select low-level heating. Pressing the button a third time will shut the heating elements off.
The heated seat switch/module energizes an integral solid-state relay, which supplies battery
current to the heating elements. When high-temperature heating is selected, the heaters provide a
boosted heat level during the first four minutes of operation after heating is activated. The heat
output then drops to the normal high-temperature level. If high-level heating is selected, the control
system will automatically switch to the low level after thirty minutes of continuous operation. At that
time, the number of illuminated LEDs changes from two to one, indicating the change. Operation
on the low setting will continue for another thirty minutes and the system will then be automatically
turned off.
The system will automatically turn off the heating elements if it detects an OPEN or LOW short in
the heating element circuit.

elements are integral to the second row seat cushion and seat back foam and cannot be removed,
once installed at the factory.
Each of the heated second row seat elements consists of multiple heating circuits operating in
parallel throughout the carbon fiber element. The heated second row seat elements are
permanently secured to the seat foam assembly. If a malfunction occurs in one or more of the
individual carbon fiber circuits, the others will continue to provide heat.
The heated second row seat elements cannot be repaired. If found to be damaged or inoperative, a
new heating element assembly must be installed.
Operation
OPERATION
One end of the heated second row seat element is connected to ground at all times through a
splice and connector under the rear center floor console. Battery current is directed to the other
end of the heated second row seat element by the heated seat switch/module. The heated seat
switch/module will energize the heated second row seat element when the heated seat
switch/module button is depressed in the Low or High position.
As electrical current passes through the heated second row seat element, the resistance of the
wire used in the element disperses some of the electrical current in the form of heat. The heat
produced by the heated second row seat element then radiates through the underside of the seat
cushion and seat back trim covers, warming the seat cover and its occupant.

Diagnosis And Testing
HEATED SEAT SYSTEM
In order to obtain conclusive testing of the heated seat system, the Controller Area Network (CAN)
data bus system must be checked.
The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the heated seat system requires the
use of a Scan Tool and the Service and Body Diagnostic Information. The Scan Tool can provide
vital information to the technician trying to find a problem with the heated seat system. Diagnostic
logic is built into the heated seat module and the instrument cluster (CCN) to help the person trying
to locate the problem by the most efficient means possible. Anytime a problem is suspected, a
Scan Tool should be obtained and used to retrieve any stored fault codes in the heated seat
module and/or instrument cluster.
If diagnostic fault codes are present in the module, record them on a piece of paper immediately
before proceeding any further. Then, use these fault codes to identify the problem by verifying the
fault code. Example, If the module records "DRIVER SEAT HEAT OUTPUT OPEN" fault code,
locate the diagnostic procedure for this code in the appropriate Body Diagnostic information and
follow the steps until the specific problem is located and resolved. Once the problem is thought to
be corrected, erase the stored fault code using the Scan Tool and verify correct system operation.
If the heated seat system is functioning correctly, verify that there are no other stored codes in the
module and return the vehicle to service.
If the fault code could not be verified, such as not finding anything wrong when following the
diagnostic steps in the Body Diagnostic information. This is a good indication that a
INTERMITTENT problem may be present. You must than attempt to find the intermittent problem,
such as moving the heating element within the seat while testing continuity or wiggling the wire
harness/electrical connectors under the seat while testing continuity. Always, eliminate all other
potential problems before attempting to replace module.
PRELIMINARY TEST
Before testing the individual components in the heated seat system, check the following:
- Using Scan Tool, check the heated seat module for any stored fault codes. Record these codes
on paper for reference and resolve using the appropriate Body Diagnostic information.
- Check the vehicles battery open-circuit voltage and charging system performance. If the vehicles
electrical system is defective or weak it may not be suppling sufficient energy to operate the heated
seat system.
- If the heated seat switch backlighting does not light with the ignition switch in the On position,
check the fused ignition switch fuse in the integrated power module. If OK, Refer to Power Seat
Switch testing. If not OK, repair the shorted circuit or component as required and replace the faulty
fuse or repair the open ground circuit as required.
- If the heated seat switch HI/LO LED indicators do not light with the ignition switch in the On
position and the heated seat switch in the Low or High position, check the fused ignition switch fuse
in the integrated power module. If OK, Refer to Power Seat Switch testing. If not OK, repair the
shorted circuit or component as required and replace the faulty fuse.

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 for continuity between the circuit leading in and out of the appropriate heated seat
element. There should be continuity (less than 6 ohms).
If OK, Refer to Seat Heater Control Module. If not OK, replace the heated seat element.

Seat Heater: Testing and Inspection Heated Seats - Second Row - Service Information
HEATED SECOND ROW SEAT SYSTEM
There are two methods of diagnosing the heated second row seat system. The "HEATED SEAT
SYSTEM SELF-DIAGNOSIS" is to be performed when the system is inoperative and one or more
of the heated seat switch/module Light Emitting Diode (LED) indicator lamps are flashing. The
"HEATED SEAT SYSTEM BASE DIAGNOSIS" is to be performed when the system is inoperative
and no LEDs are flashing or lighting when the switch/module buttons are pressed.
HEATED SEAT SYSTEM SELF-DIAGNOSIS
NOTE: Before testing the individual components in the heated second row seat system, check the
vehicles battery open-circuit voltage and charging system performance. If the vehicles electrical
system is defective or weak it may not be suppling sufficient energy to operate the heated second
row seat system.
The heated second row seat system is capable of performing some self-diagnostics. The following
table depicts the various monitored failures which will be reported to the vehicle operator or
technician by flashing the individual heated seat switch/module Light Emitting Diode (LED)
indicator lamps. Heated Second Row Seat System Self-Diagnosis Table for failure identification.
The left heated seat switch/module indicator lamps will flash if a failure occurs in the left heated
second row seat, and the right heated seat switch/module indicator lamps will flash for a right
heated second row seat failure. If a monitored heated second row seat system failure occurs, the
switch/module indicator lamps will flash at a pulse rate of about one-half second on, followed by
about one-half second off for a duration of about one minute after the switch/module for the
inoperative heated second row seat is depressed in either the Low or High direction. This process
will repeat every time the inoperative heated seat switch/module is actuated until the problem has
been corrected.
For complete circuit diagrams, refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wiring information
includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector repair procedures, details of wire harness
routing and retention, connector pin-out information and location views for the various wire harness
connectors, splices and grounds.
Diagnostic logic is built into the heated seat switch/module to help locate the problem by the most
efficient means possible. Anytime a problem is suspected, locate the diagnosis and testing
procedure for the component in question and follow the steps until the specific problem is located
and resolved. Once the problem is thought to be corrected, verify correct system operation. If the
heated second row seat system is functioning correctly return the vehicle to service.
If a problem could not be verified such as not finding anything wrong when following the diagnostic
procedure, this is a good indication that an INTERMITTENT problem may be present. You must
then attempt to find the intermittent problem by moving the heating element within the seat while
testing continuity or wiggling the wire harness's/electrical connectors under the seat while testing
continuity. Always, eliminate all other potential problems before attempting to replace the heated
seat switch/module.

Seat Heater Control Module: Description and Operation Module-Heated Seat
Description
DESCRIPTION
The heated seat module (2) is located behind the right rear D-pillar trim (1). The heated seat
module has a single electrical connector (3).
The heated seat module is an microprocessor designed to use CAN bus messages from the cluster
Cabin Compartment Node (CCN) to operate the heated seat elements in both front seats.
Operation
OPERATION
The heated seat module operates on fused battery current received from the ignition switch. The
module is grounded at all times through a ground lug on the right rear D-pillar. Inputs to the module
include CAN bus messages and standard hardwired 12volt power and ground. In response to
those inputs the heated seat module controls the battery current to the heated seat elements.
When a heated seat switch CAN bus signal is received by the heated seat module, the module
energizes the selected heated seat element. The Low heat set point is about 38° C (100.4° F), and
the High heat set point is about 42° C (107.6° F).
If the heated seat module detects a heated seat element OPEN or SHORT circuit, it will record and
store an diagnostic trouble code (DTC).

Seat Heater Control Module: Description and Operation Switch/Module - Second Row Heated Seat
Description
DESCRIPTION
Momentary contact push button switch/modules (2) mounted in the front face of the second row
center floor console (3) operate the heated second row seat system. Each heated seat
switch/module has two Light-Emitting Diode (LED) indicator lamps, which indicate the selected
level (Low or High) of the seat heater. Pressing the switch/module button initiates heat. Heat
remains on until switched off or until the ignition is turned off. If switched off by the ignition, a
switch/module button must be pressed to restart heating.
The switch/modules contain the solid state electronic control and diagnostic logic circuitry for the
heated second row seat system. If any of the heated second row seat elements are inoperative or
damaged one or more of the LED lamps in the switch/module for the effected seat will flash.
The LED indicator lamps in each heated seat switch/module cannot be repaired. If the LED lamps
are inoperative or damaged, or the switch/module is inoperative or damaged the individual heated
seat switch/module assembly must be replaced.
Operation
OPERATION
A Heated Seat Switch/Module is used to control the heated second row seat system. The heated
seat switch/modules receive battery current through a fused ignition switch output (run) circuit
when the ignition switch is in the On position. The switch/module responds to heated seat
switch/module button input and ignition switch status inputs by controlling the 12v output to the
front seat heating elements through integral solid-state relays.
When either of the heated seat switch/module buttons are depressed the heating element for the
selected seat is energized. Amber Light Emitting Diodes (LEDS) on the side of each switch/module
indicate the level of heat in use: Two LEDs are illuminated for high, one for low, and none for off.
Pressing the switch/module button once will select high-level heating. Pressing the button a second
time will select low-level heating. Pressing the button a third time will shut the heating elements off.
The heated seat switch/module energizes an integral solid-state relay, which supplies battery
current to the heating elements. When high-temperature heating is selected, the heaters provide a
boosted heat level during the first four minutes of operation after heating is activated. The heat
output then drops to the normal high-temperature level. If high-level heating is selected, the control
system will automatically switch to the low level after thirty minutes of continuous operation. At that
time, the number of illuminated LEDs changes from two to one, indicating the change. Operation
on the low setting will continue for another thirty minutes and the system will then be automatically
turned off.

Seat Heater Switch: Description and Operation Switch-Heated Seat
Description
HEATED SEAT SWITCH
The heated seat switches are both mounted in the instrument panel. The two switches are snapped
into mounting holes in the instrument panel center bezel (1). The two heated seat switches (2) and
(3) are identical in appearance and construction, except for the location of a keyway in the
connector receptacle on the back of each switch. The instrument panel wire harness connectors for
the heated seat switches are keyed to match the connector receptacles so that the two heated seat
switches can only be connected to the proper heated seat.
Each momentary, bidirectional rocker-type heated seat switch provides a resistor-multiplexed
signal to the Cab Compartment Node (CCN). Each switch has a center neutral position and
momentary Low and High positions so that the driver and the front seat passenger can select a
preferred seat heating level. Each heated seat switch has two Light-Emitting Diode (LED) indicator
lamps, which indicate the selected level (Low or High) of the seat heater. Each switch also has one
indicator lamp for back lighting of the switch when the ignition switch is in the Run position.
The five LED indicator lamps in each heated seat switch cannot be repaired. If the LED lamps are
faulty or damaged, or the switch is faulty or damaged the individual heated seat switch assembly
must be replaced.
Operation
HEATED SEAT SWITCH
The heated seat switches receive battery current through a fused ignition switch output (run) circuit
when the ignition switch is in the On position. Depressing the heated seat switch rocker to its
momentary High or Low position provides a hard-wired resistor multiplexed signal to the Cabin
Dodge Durango 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L VIN 2 (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Seats > Seat Heater Switch > Component Information > Description and
Operation > Switch-Heated Seat > Page 11053
Compartment Node (CCN). The CCN is responsible for supplying the CAN bus message to the
heated seat module, signaling the module to power the heated seat element of the selected seat
and maintain the temperature setting.
If the heated seat switch is depressed to a different position (Low or High) than the currently
selected state, the CCN will go through the process again to change the temperature setting. If a
heated seat switch is depressed a second time to the same position as the currently selected state,
the CCN and heated seat module interprets the second input as a request to turn the seat heater
OFF. The CCN will then signal the heated seat module to turn the heated seat elements for that
seat off.
The backlighting LED's in each of the heated seat switches receive battery current through a fused
ignition switch output (run) circuit when the ignition switch is in the On position. The ground side of
the indicator lamp is divided by a separate lamp driver circuit in the CCN.

Seat Heater Switch: Description and Operation Switch/Module - Second Row Heated Seat
Description
DESCRIPTION
Momentary contact push button switch/modules (2) mounted in the front face of the second row
center floor console (3) operate the heated second row seat system. Each heated seat
switch/module has two Light-Emitting Diode (LED) indicator lamps, which indicate the selected
level (Low or High) of the seat heater. Pressing the switch/module button initiates heat. Heat
remains on until switched off or until the ignition is turned off. If switched off by the ignition, a
switch/module button must be pressed to restart heating.
The switch/modules contain the solid state electronic control and diagnostic logic circuitry for the
heated second row seat system. If any of the heated second row seat elements are inoperative or
damaged one or more of the LED lamps in the switch/module for the effected seat will flash.
The LED indicator lamps in each heated seat switch/module cannot be repaired. If the LED lamps
are inoperative or damaged, or the switch/module is inoperative or damaged the individual heated
seat switch/module assembly must be replaced.
Operation
OPERATION
A Heated Seat Switch/Module is used to control the heated second row seat system. The heated
seat switch/modules receive battery current through a fused ignition switch output (run) circuit
when the ignition switch is in the On position. The switch/module responds to heated seat
switch/module button input and ignition switch status inputs by controlling the 12v output to the
front seat heating elements through integral solid-state relays.
When either of the heated seat switch/module buttons are depressed the heating element for the
selected seat is energized. Amber Light Emitting Diodes (LEDS) on the side of each switch/module
indicate the level of heat in use: Two LEDs are illuminated for high, one for low, and none for off.
Pressing the switch/module button once will select high-level heating. Pressing the button a second
time will select low-level heating. Pressing the button a third time will shut the heating elements off.
The heated seat switch/module energizes an integral solid-state relay, which supplies battery
current to the heating elements. When high-temperature heating is selected, the heaters provide a
boosted heat level during the first four minutes of operation after heating is activated. The heat
output then drops to the normal high-temperature level. If high-level heating is selected, the control
system will automatically switch to the low level after thirty minutes of continuous operation. At that
time, the number of illuminated LEDs changes from two to one, indicating the change. Operation
on the low setting will continue for another thirty minutes and the system will then be automatically
turned off.

Seat Heater Switch: Testing and Inspection
HEATED SEAT SWITCH
Refer to the Wiring for complete heated seat system wiring diagrams.
WARNING: Disable the airbag system before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, or
instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
(ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the airbag system capacitor to discharge before
performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the airbag system.
Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment and possible
personal injury.
1. If the problem being diagnosed involves inoperative heated seat switch back lighting and the
heated seat elements do heat, disconnect the
inoperative switch and check for continuity between the ground pin at the heated seat switch
connector and ground. If there is no continuity, repair an open wire between ground and the heated
seat switch connector. If there is continuity, replace the inoperative heated seat switch. If the
problem being diagnosed involves a heated seat switch indicator lamp that remains illuminated
after the heated seat has been turned Off. Also refer to the Body Diagnostic Information for
additional diagnosis and testing procedures.
2. Check the fused ignition switch output (run) fuse in the Power Distribution Center (PDC). If OK,
go to STEP 3. If not OK, repair the shorted
circuit or component as required and replace the faulty fuse.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the On position. Check for battery voltage at the fused ignition switch
output (run) fuse in the PDC. If OK, go to STEP
4. If not OK, repair the open fused ignition switch output (run) circuit to the ignition switch as
required.
4. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable. Disconnect the wire harness connector from
the connector receptacle on the back of the heated
seat switch to be tested. Reconnect the battery negative cable. Turn the ignition switch to the Run
position. Check for battery voltage at the fused ignition switch output (run) circuit cavity of the
heated seat switch. If OK, go to STEP 5. If not OK, repair the open fused ignition switch output
(run) circuit to the PDC fuse as required.
5. Check the continuity and resistance values of the heated seat switch in the Neutral, Low and
High positions as shown in the Heated Seat Switch
Continuity chart below. If OK, refer to Heated Seats testing. If not OK, replace the faulty heated
seat switch.

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

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

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

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

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

Power Mirror Switch: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
A power mirror switch is located on the driver's door trim panel, attached to the window/lock switch.
The power mirror switch includes the following:
- Power Mirror Selector Switch - A three-position rotary joystick switch selects the right or left power
mirror for adjustment, or turns the power mirror system Off in the center position.
- Power Mirror Adjustment Switch - A momentary joystick directional switch allows the driver to
adjust the selected power mirror in the Up, Down, Right or Left directions.

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

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

Component Information > Description and Operation > Description > Page 11148
Power Seat Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
When a power seat switch is actuated, a battery feed and a ground path are applied through the
switch contacts to the power seat adjuster or recliner adjuster motor. The selected adjuster motor
operates to move the seat or recliner through its drive unit in the selected direction until the switch
is released, or until the travel limit of the adjuster is reached. When the switch is moved in the
opposite direction, the battery feed and ground path to the motor are reversed through the switch
contacts. This causes the adjuster motor to run in the opposite direction.
On vehicles equipped with memory system, a resistance signal is sent to the Memory Seat Module
(MSM) via the Controller Area Network (CAN) bus circuit, when the driver memory seat switch
control knob is actuated. The MSM is responsible for the 12v battery feed and ground path to the
power seat adjuster motor. The adjuster motor operates to move the power seat adjuster
mechanism through its drive unit in the selected direction until the switch is released, or until the
travel limit of the adjuster is reached.
No power seat switch should be held applied in any direction after the adjuster has reached its
travel limit. The power seat adjuster motors each contain a self-resetting circuit breaker to protect
them from overload. However, consecutive or frequent resetting of the circuit breaker may result in
motor damage.

Power Trunk / Liftgate Hazard Sensor: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
Pinch sensors (2) are located on each side of the liftgate (1). These sensors look like
weather-strips, however they consist of pieces of electrically conductive rubber (tapeswitch), wires,
resistor, double sided tape, and a plastic carrier. They are used to indicate an obstruction during a
power liftgate close cycle. The right side pinch sensor contains a thermistor that is integral to the
pinch sensor assembly. The thermistor is a temperature sensor used by the power liftgate control
module to enable proper liftgate operation in extreme climate conditions.

Power Trunk / Liftgate Hazard Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
During a power liftgate "close" cycle, if either of the two conductive rubber strips (tapeswitch) of the
pinch sensor come in contact with an obstacle, the pinch sensor circuit is completed. This tells the
power liftgate control module that a obstruction is felt. The control module will stop the liftgate
immediately and return it to the full open position.
The thermistor portion of the right pinch sensor provides the temperature signal to the power
liftgate control module (temperature is provided when the pinch sensor is in an unpinched
condition; when pinched, temperature is unavailable because the thermistor is shorted). As the
outside temperature increases, the resistance reading decreases. As temperature decreases, the
resistance reading increases.

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

Component Information > Description and Operation > Switch-Heated Seat > Page 11190
Compartment Node (CCN). The CCN is responsible for supplying the CAN bus message to the
heated seat module, signaling the module to power the heated seat element of the selected seat
and maintain the temperature setting.
If the heated seat switch is depressed to a different position (Low or High) than the currently
selected state, the CCN will go through the process again to change the temperature setting. If a
heated seat switch is depressed a second time to the same position as the currently selected state,
the CCN and heated seat module interprets the second input as a request to turn the seat heater
OFF. The CCN will then signal the heated seat module to turn the heated seat elements for that
seat off.
The backlighting LED's in each of the heated seat switches receive battery current through a fused
ignition switch output (run) circuit when the ignition switch is in the On position. The ground side of
the indicator lamp is divided by a separate lamp driver circuit in the CCN.

Seat Heater Switch: Description and Operation Switch/Module - Second Row Heated Seat
Description
DESCRIPTION
Momentary contact push button switch/modules (2) mounted in the front face of the second row
center floor console (3) operate the heated second row seat system. Each heated seat
switch/module has two Light-Emitting Diode (LED) indicator lamps, which indicate the selected
level (Low or High) of the seat heater. Pressing the switch/module button initiates heat. Heat
remains on until switched off or until the ignition is turned off. If switched off by the ignition, a
switch/module button must be pressed to restart heating.
The switch/modules contain the solid state electronic control and diagnostic logic circuitry for the
heated second row seat system. If any of the heated second row seat elements are inoperative or
damaged one or more of the LED lamps in the switch/module for the effected seat will flash.
The LED indicator lamps in each heated seat switch/module cannot be repaired. If the LED lamps
are inoperative or damaged, or the switch/module is inoperative or damaged the individual heated
seat switch/module assembly must be replaced.
Operation
OPERATION
A Heated Seat Switch/Module is used to control the heated second row seat system. The heated
seat switch/modules receive battery current through a fused ignition switch output (run) circuit
when the ignition switch is in the On position. The switch/module responds to heated seat
switch/module button input and ignition switch status inputs by controlling the 12v output to the
front seat heating elements through integral solid-state relays.
When either of the heated seat switch/module buttons are depressed the heating element for the
selected seat is energized. Amber Light Emitting Diodes (LEDS) on the side of each switch/module
indicate the level of heat in use: Two LEDs are illuminated for high, one for low, and none for off.
Pressing the switch/module button once will select high-level heating. Pressing the button a second
time will select low-level heating. Pressing the button a third time will shut the heating elements off.
The heated seat switch/module energizes an integral solid-state relay, which supplies battery
current to the heating elements. When high-temperature heating is selected, the heaters provide a
boosted heat level during the first four minutes of operation after heating is activated. The heat
output then drops to the normal high-temperature level. If high-level heating is selected, the control
system will automatically switch to the low level after thirty minutes of continuous operation. At that
time, the number of illuminated LEDs changes from two to one, indicating the change. Operation
on the low setting will continue for another thirty minutes and the system will then be automatically
turned off.

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

Trunk / Liftgate Switch: Description and Operation Overhead Console Liftgate Switch
Description
DESCRIPTION
NOTE: The overhead console shown contains a combination power liftgate/power sunroof switch.
Vehicles equipped with the power liftgate and no sunroof contain a single power liftgate switch
only.
NOTE: On vehicles equipped with both a power sunroof and power liftgate the overhead console
switches are serviced together as one assembly.
NOTE: Durango overhead console with Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) shown.
Aspen overhead console similar.
The power liftgate switch (3) is mounted in the overhead console assembly (1) between the reading
lamps (2). The switch is snapped into mounting slots in the overhead console assembly. The
momentary, push button-type power liftgate switch, provides a hardwired signal to the Power
Liftgate Control Module.
If the switch is inoperative or damaged the power liftgate/power sunroof switch assembly must be
replaced.
Operation
OPERATION
Battery voltage is supplied to the power liftgate system through a fuse, located in the Integrated
Power Module (IPM) assembly. When the power liftgate switch is pushed, a hardwired signal is
sent to the Power Liftgate Control Module. The power liftgate control module then interprets the
information to confirm safety requirements are met before applying power to the power liftgate drive
unit to start a power cycle.
During a power liftgate open or close cycle, if the power liftgate control module detects sufficient
resistance to liftgate travel, such as an obstruction in the liftgate's path. The control module will
immediately stop liftgate movement and reverse the direction of travel to the full open or closed
position.

Trunk / Liftgate Switch: Description and Operation Exterior Handle Switch
Description
DESCRIPTION
All vehicles are equipped with a power liftgate exterior handle switch. The switch is integral to the
power liftgate latch assembly. It is activated by the exterior handle, located in the license plate light
bar, through a mechanical link rod attaching the two together. The power liftgate exterior handle
switch is primarily used for manual opening of the liftgate. Activation of the switch during a
automatic power "close" cycle will cause the liftgate to reverse direction. Activation of the switch
during a power "open" cycle will cause the power liftgate to disengage, allowing full manual
operation.
The exterior handle cannot be adjusted or repaired and if damaged it must be replaced.
The power liftgate exterior handle switch cannot be adjusted or repaired and if damaged or
inoperative the complete power liftgate latch assembly must be replaced.
Operation
OPERATION
When the exterior liftgate handle is pulled, a mechanical linkage inside the liftgate depresses the
power liftgate exterior handle switch in the power liftgate latch assembly. A hard-wired signal is
then detected by the Power Liftgate Control Module. The power liftgate control module then looks
at the vehicle lock status on the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus. If the vehicle is not
locked and the operating conditions are met, the power liftgate control module then applies power
to the latch mounted motor, which moves the liftgate from the primary closed and latched position
to the open and movable position.
If the liftgate is not pulled open within seven seconds, once the latch releases, the latch will
automatically cinch closed.

Trunk / Liftgate Switch: Testing and Inspection
OVERHEAD CONSOLE LIFTGATE SWITCH
Diagnostic resistors are present inside the overhead console liftgate switch. These resistors are
used by the power liftgate control module to determine if the switch is stuck, disconnected, shorted
or otherwise damaged. Refer to the OVERHEAD CONSOLE LIFTGATE SWITCH DIAGNOSTIC
TABLE to test the switch resistance.
NOTE: Test table readings are ±2%.

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

Cruise Control Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
When speed control is selected by depressing the ON, OFF switch, the PCM allows a set speed to
be stored in its RAM for speed control. To store a set speed, depress the SET switch while the
vehicle is moving at a speed between approximately 35 (56.2kph) and 85 mph (136.8kph). In order
for the speed control to engage, the brakes cannot be applied, nor can the gear selector be
indicating the transmission is in Park or Neutral.
The speed control can be disengaged manually by:
- Stepping on the brake pedal
- Depressing the OFF switch
- Depressing the CANCEL switch.
The speed control can be disengaged also by any of the following conditions:
- An indication of Park or Neutral (auto. trans.)
- The VSS signal increases at a rate of 10 mph (16 kph) per second (indicates that the co-efficient
of friction between the road surface and tires is extremely low)
- Depressing the clutch pedal (manual trans.).
- Excessive engine rpm (indicates that the transmission may be in a low gear)
- The VSS signal decreases at a rate of 10 mph (16 kph) per second (indicates that the vehicle
may have decelerated at an extremely high rate)
- If the actual speed is not within 20 mph (32.1 kph) of the set speed
The previous disengagement conditions are programmed for added safety.
Once the speed control has been disengaged, depressing the ACCEL switch restores the vehicle
to the target speed that was stored in the PCM's RAM
NOTE: Depressing the OFF switch will erase the set speed stored in the PCM's RAM.
If, while the speed control is engaged, the driver wishes to increase vehicle speed, the PCM is
programmed for an acceleration feature. With the ACCEL switch held closed, the vehicle
accelerates slowly to the desired speed. The new target speed is stored in the PCM's RAM when
the ACCEL switch is released. The PCM also has a "tap-up" feature in which vehicle speed
increases at a rate of approximately 2 mph (3.2 kph) for each momentary switch activation of the
ACCEL switch.
The PCM also provides a means to decelerate without disengaging speed control. To decelerate
from an existing recorded target speed, depress and hold the COAST switch until the desired
speed is reached. Then release the switch. The ON, OFF switch operates two components: the
PCM's ON, OFF input, and the battery voltage to the brake switch.

Cruise Control Vacuum Reservoir: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The vacuum reservoir is a plastic storage tank connected to an engine vacuum source by vacuum
lines. A vacuum reservoir is not used with diesel engines or the 5.7L gas powered engine.

Cruise Control Vacuum Reservoir: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The vacuum reservoir is used to supply the vacuum needed to maintain proper speed control
operation when engine vacuum drops, such as in climbing a grade while driving. A one-way check
valve is used in the vacuum line between the reservoir and the vacuum source. This check valve is
used to trap engine vacuum in the reservoir. On certain vehicle applications, this reservoir is
shared with the heating/air-conditioning system. The vacuum reservoir cannot be repaired and
must be replaced if faulty.

Cruise Control Vacuum Reservoir: Testing and Inspection
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - VACUUM RESERVOIR
1. Disconnect vacuum hose at speed control servo and install a vacuum gauge into the
disconnected hose.
2. Start engine and observe gauge at idle. Vacuum gauge should read at least ten inches of
mercury.
3. If vacuum is less than ten inches of mercury, determine source of leak. Check vacuum line to
engine for leaks. Also check actual engine intake
manifold vacuum. If manifold vacuum does not meet this requirement, check for poor engine
performance and repair as necessary.
4. If vacuum line to engine is not leaking, check for leak at vacuum reservoir. To locate and gain
access to reservoir, refer to Vacuum Reservoir
Removal/Installation. Disconnect vacuum line at reservoir and connect a hand-operated vacuum
pump to reservoir fitting. Apply vacuum. Reservoir vacuum should not bleed off. If vacuum is being
lost, replace reservoir.
5. Verify operation of one-way check valve and check it for leaks. Certain models may be equipped
with 2 check-valves.
a. Locate one-way check valve. The valve is located in vacuum line between vacuum reservoir and
engine vacuum source. Disconnect vacuum
hoses (lines) at each end of valve.
b. Connect a hand-operated vacuum pump to reservoir end of check valve. Apply vacuum. Vacuum
should not bleed off. If vacuum is being lost,
replace one-way check valve.
c. Connect a hand-operated vacuum pump to vacuum source end of check valve. Apply vacuum.
Vacuum should flow through valve. If vacuum
is not flowing, replace one-way check valve. Seal the fitting at opposite end of valve with a finger
and apply vacuum. If vacuum will not hold, diaphragm within check valve has ruptured. Replace
valve.

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

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

Audible Warning Device: Description and Operation Description
CHIME WARNING SYSTEM
A chime warning system is standard factory-installed equipment. The chime warning system uses
an electromechanical transducer and an electromechanical relay that are soldered onto the
electronic circuit board inside of the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (1) 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.
The EMIC is capable of producing the following audible outputs:
- Slow Rate Repetitive Click - Repeated click tones that are issued at a slow rate of about 50 clicks
per minute.
- Fast Rate Repetitive Click - Repeated click tones that are issued at a fast rate of more than about
100 clicks per minute.
Fixed Duration Beep - A short, sharp, single tactile beep tone.
Single Chime Tone - A single chime tone.
- Slow Rate Repetitive Chime - Repeated chime tones that are issued at a slow rate of about 50
chimes per minute.
- Fast Rate Repetitive Chime - Repeated chime tones that are issued at a fast rate of about 180
chimes per minute.
Hard wired circuitry connects the EMIC and the various chime warning system switch and sensor
inputs to their modules and to each other through the electrical system of the vehicle. These hard
wired circuits are integral to several wire harnesses, which are routed throughout the vehicle and
retained by many different methods. These circuits may be connected to each other, to the vehicle
electrical system and to the EMIC through the use of a combination of soldered splices, splice
block connectors, and many different types of wire harness terminal connectors and insulators.
Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper
wire and connector repair procedures, further details on wire harness routing and retention, as well
as pin-out and location views for the various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.
The EMIC chime warning system circuits and components cannot be adjusted or repaired. If the
EMIC circuitry, the on-board transducer or the relay are damaged or ineffective, the EMIC unit must
be replaced.

Audible Warning Device: Description and 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 ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the
Cab Compartment Node/CCN) transducer 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 EMIC transducer 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.
- Electronic Stability Program/Brake Assist System Warning - The EMIC transducer will generate
one short chime when the Electronic Stability Program (ESP)/Brake Assist System (BAS) has been
manually disabled by the vehicle operator using the ESP/BAS traction control switch on the
instrument panel.
- Electronic Stability Program/Brake Assist System Fault Warning - The EMIC transducer will
generate one short chime each time the Electronic Stability Program (ESP)/Brake Assist System
(BAS) indicator is illuminated in the instrument cluster. This warning indicates a failure condition
has been monitored affecting the operation of the ESP/BAS related components or circuits. This
warning will only occur following completion of the ESP/BAS indicator bulb test, and will only occur
once during any ignition cycle.
- Electronic Vehicle Information Center Data Reset - The EMIC transducer will generate one short
chime when the ignition switch is in the ON position, and an electronic message is received over
the CAN data bus from the optional Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) requesting that
the EVIC average fuel economy, trip odometer, distance to empty or customer programmable
features data be reset. The EVIC monitors hard wired inputs from the EVIC control push button
switches to determine the proper reset messages to send to the EMIC.
- Fasten Seat Belt Indicator Warning - The EMIC transducer 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 seatbelt reminder (beltminder) when this feature is enabled.
- Gate Ajar Indicator Warning - The EMIC transducer 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, and an electronic message is received over the CAN data bus
indicating that the vehicle is moving.
- Head/Park Lamps-On Warning - The EMIC transducer will generate repetitive chimes at a fast
rate to indicate that hard wired inputs from the driver door ajar switch, the headlamp switch, and
the ignition switch indicate that the exterior lamps are turned ON with the driver side front door
opened and the ignition switch in the OFF position. The chimes 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 EMIC transducer 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 lock cylinder 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 EMIC transducer 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.
- Low Wash Indicator Warning - The EMIC transducer will generate one short chime when the low
washer fluid indicator is illuminated by the instrument cluster circuitry. This chime will only occur
once during any ignition cycle.
- Overspeed Warning - The EMIC transducer will generate repetitive chimes at a slow rate to
indicate that the vehicle speed is over a pre-programmed speed value. The EMIC monitors
electronic vehicle speed messages received over the CAN data bus. This feature is only enabled
on an EMIC that has been programmed with a Middle East Gulf Coast Country (GCC) country
code.
- Park Brake Reminder - The EMIC transducer will generate one short chime to announce that the
hard wired input from the park brake switch and an electronic vehicle speed message received
over the CAN data bus indicate that the park brake is applied and the vehicle is moving. This chime
will repeat each time the input conditions are met.
- Sentry Key Customer Learn Mode Announcement - The EMIC transducer 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) (also known as the
Wireless Control Module/WCM) 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.
- Trans Overtemp Indicator Warning - The EMIC transducer will generate repetitive chimes at a
slow rate when the transmission overtemp indicator is illuminated by the instrument cluster circuitry
for a high or critical transmission fluid temperature condition. This chime will repeat each time the
trans overtemp indicator is cycled from OFF to ON.
- Turn Signal/Hazard Warning Flasher Emulation - The EMIC 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 EMIC 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 ineffective. In either case, the clicks will
continue until the turn signal and hazard warning systems are turned OFF.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Audible Warning Device > Component
Information > Description and Operation > Description > Page 11381
- Turn Signal On Warning - The EMIC transducer 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 (2.49 miles)
for this feature. The chime will continue until the turn signal input becomes inactive or until the
electronic vehicle speed message indicates that the speed is less than 22 kilometers-per-hour (15
miles-per-hour), whichever occurs first. The hazard warning flashers will not activate this chime
feature.
- Warning Indicator Announcement - The EMIC transducer will generate one short chime each time
the check gauges indicator is illuminated by the instrument cluster circuitry. The check gauges
indicator may be illuminated when any critical engine or transmission systems are operating
outside of their normal parameters. The instrument cluster monitors electronic messages received
over the CAN data bus to determine when to illuminate the check gauges indicator.
The EMIC provides chime service for all available features in the chime warning system. The EMIC
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 EMIC 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 circuits between components related to the chime warning system may be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information. The wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector repair
procedures, details of wire harness routing and retention, connector pin-out information and
location views for the various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.
However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the chime
warning system or the electronic controls or communication between modules and other devices
that provide some features of the chime warning system. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate
means to diagnose the chime warning system or the electronic controls and communication related
to chime warning system operation requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.

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

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

Charge Lamp/Indicator: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The charging indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the electrical system
voltage is too low or too high. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument cluster
circuit board based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received by the cluster
from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The charging indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument cluster
logic circuit, and that logic will only allow this indicator to operate when the instrument cluster
receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the
LED will always be OFF when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED
only illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The
instrument cluster will turn ON the charging indicator for the following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position the charging indicator is
illuminated by the instrument cluster for about two seconds as a bulb test.
- Voltage Low Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic system voltage message
from the PCM indicating the voltage is low (less than about 1.5 volts is a charge fail condition), the
charging indicator will be illuminated. The indicator remains illuminated until the cluster receives a
message from the PCM indicating the voltage is normal (greater than about 12.0 volts, but less
than 16.0 volts), or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Voltage High Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic system voltage message
from the PCM indicating the voltage is high ( greater than about 16.0 volts), the charging indicator
will be illuminated. The indicator remains illuminated until the cluster receives a message from the
PCM indicating the voltage is normal (less than about 15.5 volts, but greater than 1.5 volts), or until
the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the charging indicator will be
turned ON, then OFF again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of
the LED and the cluster control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the electrical system voltage to control the generator output. The
PCM then sends the proper messages to the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC). If the
instrument cluster turns ON the charging indicator due to a charge fail or voltage high condition, it
may indicate that the charging system requires service. For further diagnosis of the charging
indicator or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the indicator.
For proper diagnosis of the charging system, the PCM, the EMIC, the CAN data bus or the
electronic communication related to charging indicator operation a diagnostic scan tool is required.

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 Group 30, so it is shown there
complete. It can, however, be shown partially in another group if it contains some associated
wiring.
Splice diagrams show the entire splice and provide references to other sections the splices serves.
Spice 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 Durango 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L VIN 2 (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Cigarette Lighter > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 11415
- 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. 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: Testing and Inspection Manual Compass Calibration
MANUAL COMPASS CALIBRATION
CAUTION: Do not place any external magnets, such as magnetic roof mount antennas, in the
vicinity of the overhead console. Do not use magnetic tools when servicing the overhead console.
NOTE: Whenever the compass is calibrated manually, the variance number must also be reset.
The electronic compass unit features a self-calibrating design, which simplifies the calibration
procedure. This feature automatically updates the compass calibration while the vehicle is being
driven. This allows the compass unit to compensate for small changes in the residual magnetism
that the vehicle may acquire during normal use. If the compass readings appear to be erratic or the
Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) displays "CAL", perform the following manual
calibration procedure. Also, any time EVIC service replacement components are installed, they
must be calibrated using this procedure. Do not attempt to calibrate the compass near large metal
objects such as other vehicles, large buildings, or bridges; or, near overhead or underground power
lines.
Calibrate the compass manually as follows:
1. Turn the ignition switch to the On/Run position. Press and release the MENU push button (1)
until "Personal Setting " s displayed.
2. Press the STEP push button (2) until "Calibrate Compass YES" is displayed.
3. Momentarily depress and release the RESET push button (4) to initiate the calibration
procedure. The message "CAL will appear in the
Compass/Temperature display.
4. Slowly drive the vehicle on a level surface, away from large metal objects and power lines,
through one or two complete circles not exceeding 8
km/h (5 mph). The "CAL" message will disappear from the display to indicate that the compass is
now calibrated.
NOTE: A blank compass display indicates that vehicle degaussing (demagnetizing) may be
necessary.
NOTE: If the "CAL" message remains in the display, either there is excessive magnetism near the
compass, or the EVIC is inoperative. Attempt the calibration procedure at least one more time
before performing EVIC diagnosis.
NOTE: If the wrong direction is still indicated in the compass display, the area selected for
calibration may be too close to a strong magnetic field. Repeat the manual calibration procedure in
another location.

Compass: Testing and Inspection Compass Variance Adjustment
COMPASS VARIANCE ADJUSTMENT
Variance Settings Map
Compass variance, also known as magnetic declination, is the difference in angle between
magnetic north and true geographic north. In some geographic locations, the difference between
magnetic and geographic north is great enough to cause the compass to give false readings. If this
problem occurs, the compass variance must be set.
NOTE: If the vehicle is taken on long trips into a new variance zone the compass function may be
effected. Compass variance may need to be adjusted to the new zone number to function properly.
NOTE: The default for the compass variance from the factory is 8.
To set the compass variance:
1. Using the Variance Settings Map, find your geographic location and note the zone number.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the On/Run position. Press and release the MENU push button (1)
until "Personal Settings" is displayed.
3. Press the STEP push button (2) until "Compass Variance" is displayed.
4. Momentarily depress and release the RESET push button (4) to toggle through the zone
numbers (1-15), until the zone number for your
geographic location appears in the display.

Compass: Service and Repair
COMPASS DEMAGNETIZING
A degaussing tool (Special Tool 6029) is used to demagnetize, or degauss, the overhead console
forward mounting screw and the roof panel above the overhead console. Equivalent units must be
rated as continuous duty for 110/115 volts and 60 Hz. They must also have a field strength of over
350 gauss at 7 millimeters (0.25 inch) beyond the tip of the probe.
To demagnetize the roof panel and the overhead console forward mounting screw, proceed as
follows:
1. Be certain that the ignition switch is in the Off position, before you begin the demagnetizing
procedure.
2. Connect the degaussing tool to an electrical outlet, while keeping the tool at least 61 centimeters
(2 feet) away from the compass unit.
3. Slowly approach the head of the overhead console forward mounting screw with the degaussing
tool connected.
4. Contact the head of the screw with the plastic coated tip of the degaussing tool for about two
seconds.
5. With the degaussing tool still energized, slowly back it away from the screw. When the tip of the
tool is at least 61 centimeters (2 feet) from the
screw head, disconnect the tool.
To demagnetize the roof panel proceed as follows:
6. Place a piece of paper approximately 22 by 28 centimeters (8.5 by 11 inches), oriented on the
vehicle lengthwise from front to rear, on the
center line of the roof at the windshield header. The purpose of the paper is to protect the roof
panel from scratches, and to define the area to be demagnetized.
7. Connect the degaussing tool to an electrical outlet, while keeping the tool at least 61 centimeters
(2 feet) away from the compass unit.
Dodge Durango 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L VIN 2 (2007))

Testing and Inspection > Page 11437
8. Slowly approach the center line of the roof panel at the windshield header, with the degaussing
tool connected.
9. Contact the roof panel with the plastic coated tip of the degaussing tool. Be sure that the
template is in place to avoid scratching the roof panel.
Using a slow, back-and-forth sweeping motion, and allowing 13 millimeters (0.50 inch) between
passes, move the tool at least 11 centimeters (4 inches) to each side of the roof center line, and 28
centimeters (11 inches) back from the windshield header.
10. With the degaussing tool still energized, slowly back it away from the roof panel. When the tip
of the tool is at least 61 centimeters (2 feet) from

Cruise Control Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
A cruise indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. However, on vehicles not
equipped with the optional speed control system, this indicator is electronically disabled. The cruise
indicator is located below the minor gauge set on the left side of the cluster.
The cruise indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the word CRUISE in the opaque layer of the
instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being
clearly visible when it is not illuminated. A green Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in
the opaque layer of the overlay causes the indicator to appear in green through the translucent
outer layer of the overlay when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the
instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
When the exterior lighting is turned ON the illumination intensity of the cruise indicator is dimmable,
which is adjusted along with the cluster general illumination lighting using the panel lamps dimmer
thumbwheel on the headlamp switch.
The cruise indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Cruise Control Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The cruise indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the speed control system is
ON, regardless of whether the speed control is engaged. This indicator is controlled by a transistor
on the instrument cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming and electronic messages
received by the cluster from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) over the Controller Area
Network (CAN) data bus.
The cruise indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument cluster
logic circuit, and that logic will only allow this indicator to operate when the instrument cluster
receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the
LED will always be OFF when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED
only illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The
instrument cluster will turn ON the cruise indicator for the following reasons:
- Cruise Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic cruise indicator
lamp-ON message from the PCM indicating the speed control system is ON, the cruise indicator is
illuminated. The indicator remains illuminated until the cluster receives a lamp-OFF message from
the PCM or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the cruise indicator will be
turned ON, then OFF again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of
the LED and the cluster control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the speed control switches to determine the proper outputs to the
speed control servo. The PCM then sends the proper lamp-ON or lamp-OFF message to the
ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC). For further diagnosis of the cruise indicator or the
instrument cluster circuitry that controls the LED.
For proper diagnosis of the speed control system, the PCM, the EMIC, the CAN data bus or the
electronic communication related to cruise indicator operation a diagnostic scan tool is required.
Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Door/Trunk Ajar Indicator/Lamp: Description and Operation Door Ajar Indicator
Description
DESCRIPTION
A door ajar indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. This indicator is located
within the odometer/trip odometer Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) unit. However, on vehicles
equipped with the optional Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) the door ajar indicator in
the odometer VFD is electronically suppressed so as not to duplicate indications that are provided
by the EVIC. The door ajar indicator consists of the text DOOR, which appears in place of the
odometer/trip odometer information in the odometer VFD unit.
The odometer VFD is soldered onto the cluster electronic circuit board, and is visible through a
window with a smoked clear lens located on the lower edge of the tachometer gauge dial face of
the cluster overlay. The dark lens over the VFD prevents it from being clearly visible when it is not
illuminated. The door ajar indicator appears in the same blue-green color and at the same lighting
level as the odometer/trip odometer information when it is illuminated by the instrument cluster
electronic circuit board.
The door ajar indicator is serviced as a unit with the VFD in the instrument cluster.
Operation
OPERATION
The door ajar indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator that one or more of the
passenger compartment doors may be open or not completely latched. This indicator is controlled
by the instrument cluster logic circuit based upon cluster programming and hard wired inputs
received by the cluster from the door ajar switches located in each door latch unit.
The door ajar indicator function of the Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) is completely controlled
by the instrument cluster logic circuit, and that logic will only allow this indicator to operate when
the instrument cluster receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start)
circuit. Therefore, the VFD door ajar indication will always be OFF when the ignition switch is in any
position except ON or START. The instrument cluster will turn ON the door ajar indicator for the
following reasons:
Door Ajar Switch Input - Each time the cluster detects ground on any one of the door ajar switch
sense circuits (door ajar switch closed = door is open or not completely latched) the door ajar
indicator will be illuminated. The indicator remains illuminated until all of the door ajar switch sense
inputs to the cluster are an open circuit (door ajar switch open = door fully closed), until the cluster
has completed an interior lamps load shed ( about five minutes), or until the ignition switch is
turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
The ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) continually monitors the door ajar switches to
determine the status of the doors. For further diagnosis of the door ajar indicator or the instrument
cluster circuitry that controls the indicator.
The hard wired door ajar switches and circuits related to door ajar indicator operation may be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information.

Door/Trunk Ajar Indicator/Lamp: Description and Operation Gate Ajar Indicator
Description
DESCRIPTION
A gate ajar indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. This indicator is located
within the odometer/trip odometer Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) unit. However, on vehicles
equipped with the optional Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) the gate ajar indicator in
the odometer VFD is electronically suppressed so as not to duplicate indications that are provided
by the EVIC. The gate ajar indicator consists of the text GATE, which appears in place of the
odometer/trip odometer information in the odometer VFD unit.
The odometer VFD is soldered onto the cluster electronic circuit board, and is visible through a
window with a smoked clear lens located on the lower edge of the tachometer gauge dial face of
the cluster overlay. The dark lens over the VFD prevents it from being clearly visible when it is not
illuminated. The gate ajar indicator appears in the same blue-green color and at the same lighting
level as the odometer/trip odometer information when it is illuminated by the instrument cluster
electronic circuit board.
The gate ajar indicator is serviced as a unit with the VFD unit in the instrument cluster.
Operation
OPERATION
The gate ajar indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator that the rear liftgate may be open
or not completely latched. This indicator is controlled by the instrument cluster logic circuit based
upon cluster programming and a hard wired input received by the cluster from the liftgate ajar
switch integral to the liftgate latch unit.
The gate ajar indicator function of the Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) is completely controlled
by the instrument cluster logic circuit, and that logic will only allow this indicator to operate when
the instrument cluster receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start)
circuit. Therefore, the VFD gate ajar indication will always be OFF when the ignition switch is in any
position except ON or START. The instrument cluster will turn ON the gate ajar indicator for the
following reasons:
Liftgate Ajar Switch Input - Each time the cluster detects ground on the liftgate ajar switch sense
circuit (liftgate ajar switch closed = gate is open or not completely latched) the gate ajar indicator
will be illuminated. The indicator remains illuminated until the liftgate ajar switch sense input to the
cluster is an open circuit (liftgate ajar switch open = liftgate fully closed), until the cluster has
completed an interior lamps load shed ( about five minutes), or until the ignition switch is turned to
the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
The ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) continually monitors the liftgate ajar switch to
determine the status of the liftgate. For further diagnosis of the liftgate ajar indicator or the
instrument cluster circuitry that controls the indicator.
The hard wired liftgate ajar switch and circuits related to gate ajar indicator operation may be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information.

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

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
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.

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 Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Driver/Vehicle Information Display >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 11486
- 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.

ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFORMATION CENTER
The Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) data is obtained from several components on the
Controller Area Network (CAN) Data Bus circuit. The EVIC will not function properly if the bus
messages from any of these components is not received. If no EVIC data is displayed, check the
CAN Data Bus circuit communications, the Instrument Cluster (also known as Cab Compartment
Node (CCN)) functions and the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM).
If the problem with the EVIC is an inaccurate or scrambled display, refer to SELF- DIAGNOSTIC
TEST. If the problem with the EVIC is incorrect Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) dimming levels,
use a scan tool and the proper Diagnostic Procedures Information to test for the correct dimming
message inputs being received from the CCN or TIPM over the CAN data bus circuit. If the
problem is a no-display condition, use the following procedure.
For complete circuit diagrams, refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wiring information
includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector repair procedures, details of wire harness
routing and retention, connector pin-out information and location views for the various wire harness
connectors, splices and grounds.
1. Remove the overhead console from the headliner.
2. Inspect the Ignition Off Draw (IOD) fuse in the TIPM. If the IOD fuse is OK and in place, go to
STEP 3. If not OK, repair the open IOD fuse
circuit as required.
3. Check for battery voltage at the overhead console electrical connector. If OK, go to STEP 4. If
not OK, Check for battery voltage at the
appropriate B(+) fuse in the TIPM, repair the open fused B(+) circuit as required.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the On position. Check the fused ignition switch output circuit(s) at the
overhead console electrical connector. If OK,
go to STEP 5. If not OK, repair the open or shorted circuit as required.
5. Turn the ignition switch to the Off position. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
Check for continuity between the ground circuit
cavity of the overhead console electrical connector and a good ground. There should be continuity.
If OK, refer to SELF- DIAGNOSTIC TEST for further diagnosis of the EVIC module and the CAN
data bus circuit. If not OK, repair the open ground circuit as required.
SELF- DIAGNOSTIC TEST
NOTE: The EVIC self - test can also be performed using a scan tool. Navigate to the Auto Self Test
screen under System Tests of the scan tool and initiate the EVIC self - test.
A self-diagnostic test is used to determine that the EVIC is operating properly electrically. Initiate
the self-diagnostic test as follows:
1. With the ignition switch in the Off position, simultaneously depress and hold the STEP and
RESET buttons while rotating the ignition switch to
the Run/On position.
2. Continue to hold both buttons depressed until the EVIC enters the display segment test. In this
test, all of the Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD)
segments are lighted while the EVIC performs the following checks:
- Non-Volatile Memory Status (NVM)
- RAM Status
- ROM Status
- ASIC Communication Status
- Compass Status
- DC Status
- CAN Data Bus Communications Status
NOTE: If the EVIC module is equipped with the Universal Transmitter (also known as
HomeLink(R)), the module also checks "HomeLink(R) Communication Test Status".
3. Following completion of these tests, the EVIC will display one of two messages: "Self Test: FAIL"
or "Self Test: PASS" n addition to the
FAIL/PASS message the EVIC will display the current software version (SW V xx.xx.xxx) below the
FAIL/PASS info. Press the RESET or STEP button to exit and enter normal mode. Respond to
these test results as follows:
- If no test result message is displayed, but EVIC operation is still improper, the use of a scan tool
and the proper Diagnostic Procedures Information are required for further diagnosis.
- If the "Self Test: FAIL " message is displayed, the EVIC is inoperative and must be replaced.
- If the "Self Test: PASS" message is displayed, the EVIC is OK, no faults are present.
- If any VFD segment does not light during the display segment test, the EVIC is inoperative and
must be replaced.
If the first seven tests pass, the EVIC shall verify that all the required CAN bus messages are
present on the CAN bus. If all required messages are

Component Information > Testing and Inspection > Component Tests and General Diagnostics > Page 11500
present on the CAN bus, the EVIC will automatically return to normal operation after sixty seconds.
The EVIC can also be returned to normal operation any time during the test by pressing the STEP,
C/T, RESET or US/M buttons.
NOTE: Pressing the STEP or RESET buttons during any portion of the EVIC Self - Diagnostic Test
Procedure will cause the EVIC to exit diagnostics and return to compass/temperature mode.
NOTE: If the compass functions, but accuracy is suspect, it may be necessary to perform a
variance adjustment. This procedure allows the compass unit to accommodate variations in the
earth's magnetic field strength, based on geographic location.
NOTE: If the compass reading has blanked out, and only "CAL" appears in the display,
demagnetizing may be necessary to remove excessive residual magnetic fields from the vehicle.
Check for stored Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and follow the proper Diagnostic Procedures
Information as needed.

Manual Compass Calibration
MANUAL COMPASS CALIBRATION
CAUTION: Do not place any external magnets, such as magnetic roof mount antennas, in the
vicinity of the overhead console. Do not use magnetic tools when servicing the overhead console.
NOTE: Whenever the compass is calibrated manually, the variance number must also be reset.
The electronic compass unit features a self-calibrating design, which simplifies the calibration
procedure. This feature automatically updates the compass calibration while the vehicle is being
driven. This allows the compass unit to compensate for small changes in the residual magnetism
that the vehicle may acquire during normal use. If the compass readings appear to be erratic or the
Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) displays "CAL", perform the following manual
calibration procedure. Also, any time EVIC service replacement components are installed, they
must be calibrated using this procedure. Do not attempt to calibrate the compass near large metal
objects such as other vehicles, large buildings, or bridges; or, near overhead or underground power
lines.
Calibrate the compass manually as follows:
1. Turn the ignition switch to the On/Run position. Press and release the MENU push button (1)
until "Personal Setting " s displayed.
2. Press the STEP push button (2) until "Calibrate Compass YES" is displayed.
3. Momentarily depress and release the RESET push button (4) to initiate the calibration
procedure. The message "CAL will appear in the
Compass/Temperature display.
4. Slowly drive the vehicle on a level surface, away from large metal objects and power lines,
through one or two complete circles not exceeding 8
km/h (5 mph). The "CAL" message will disappear from the display to indicate that the compass is
now calibrated.
NOTE: A blank compass display indicates that vehicle degaussing (demagnetizing) may be
necessary.
NOTE: If the "CAL" message remains in the display, either there is excessive magnetism near the
compass, or the EVIC is inoperative. Attempt the calibration procedure at least one more time
before performing EVIC diagnosis.
NOTE: If the wrong direction is still indicated in the compass display, the area selected for
calibration may be too close to a strong magnetic field. Repeat the manual calibration procedure in
another location.

Compass variance, also known as magnetic declination, is the difference in angle between
magnetic north and true geographic north. In some geographic locations, the difference between
magnetic and geographic north is great enough to cause the compass to give false readings. If this
problem occurs, the compass variance must be set.
NOTE: If the vehicle is taken on long trips into a new variance zone the compass function may be
effected. Compass variance may need to be adjusted to the new zone number to function properly.
NOTE: The default for the compass variance from the factory is 8.
To set the compass variance:
1. Using the Variance Settings Map, find your geographic location and note the zone number.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the On/Run position. Press and release the MENU push button (1)
until "Personal Settings" is displayed.
3. Press the STEP push button (2) until "Compass Variance" is displayed.
4. Momentarily depress and release the RESET push button (4) to toggle through the zone
numbers (1-15), until the zone number for your
geographic location appears in the display.
5. Momentarily depress and release the C/T push button (5) to enter the displayed zone number
into the compass unit memory.
6. Confirm that the correct directions are now indicated by the compass.

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

8. Slowly approach the center line of the roof panel at the windshield header, with the degaussing
tool connected.
9. Contact the roof panel with the plastic coated tip of the degaussing tool. Be sure that the
template is in place to avoid scratching the roof panel.
Using a slow, back-and-forth sweeping motion, and allowing 13 millimeters (0.50 inch) between
passes, move the tool at least 11 centimeters (4 inches) to each side of the roof center line, and 28
centimeters (11 inches) back from the windshield header.
10. With the degaussing tool still energized, slowly back it away from the roof panel. When the tip
of the tool is at least 61 centimeters (2 feet) from
the roof panel, disconnect the tool.
11. Calibrate the compass and adjust the compass variance.

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

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

Fog/Driving Lamp Indicator: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
A fog lamp indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. However, on vehicles not
equipped with optional fog lamps, this indicator is electronically disabled. This indicator is located
near the upper edge of the instrument cluster, between the minor gauge set and the speedometer.
The fog lamp indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the International Control and Display
Symbol icon for Front Fog Light in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster overlay. The dark
outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated.
A green Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the overlay causes the
indicator to appear in green through the translucent outer layer of the overlay when it is illuminated
from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
The fog lamp indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Fog/Driving Lamp Indicator > Component
Information > Description and Operation > Description > Page 11518
Fog/Driving Lamp Indicator: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The fog lamp indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator whenever the optional fog lamps
are illuminated. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument cluster circuit board
based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received by the cluster from the Front
Control Module (FCM) (also known as the Integrated Power Module/IPM) over the Controller Area
Network (CAN) data bus.
The fog lamp indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument cluster
logic circuit, and that logic will allow this indicator to operate whenever the instrument cluster
receives a battery current input on the fused B(+) circuit. Therefore, the LED can be illuminated
regardless of the ignition switch position. The LED only illuminates when it is provided a path to
ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The instrument cluster will turn ON the fog lamp
indicator for the following reasons:
- Fog Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic fog indicator
lamp-ON message from the FCM indicating the fog lamp relay is energized, the fog lamp indicator
will be illuminated. The indicator remains illuminated until the cluster receives a lamp-OFF
message from the FCM, or until the exterior lamp load shedding (battery saver) timed interval
expires, whichever occurs first.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the fog lamp indicator will be
turned ON, then OFF again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of
the LED and the cluster control circuitry.
The FCM continually monitors electronic exterior lighting switch status messages from the
ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) to determine the appropriate outputs to the fog lamp
relay. The FCM activates or deactivates the fog lamp relay then sends the proper lamp-ON or
lamp-OFF message back to the EMIC.
For proper diagnosis of the fog lamp system, the FCM, the EMIC, the CAN data bus or the
electronic communication related to fog lamp indicator operation a diagnostic scan tool is required.
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.

- 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.

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

Fuel Gauge: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The fuel gauge gives an indication to the vehicle operator of the level of fuel in the fuel tank. This
gauge is controlled by the instrument cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming and a
hard wired input received by the cluster from the fuel level sending unit on the fuel pump module in
the fuel tank.
The fuel gauge is an air core magnetic unit that receives battery current on the instrument cluster
electronic circuit board through the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit whenever the
ignition switch is in the ON or START positions. The cluster is programmed to move the gauge
needle back to the low end of the scale after the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position. The
instrument cluster circuitry controls the gauge needle position and provides the following features:
- Fuel Level Sending Unit Input - The cluster provides a constant current source to the fuel level
sending unit and monitors a return input on a fuel level sense circuit. The resistance through the
fuel level sending unit increases as the fuel level falls and decreases as the fuel level rises causing
changes in the fuel level sense input voltage. The cluster programming applies an algorithm to
calculate the proper fuel gauge needle position based upon the fuel level sense input, then moves
the gauge needle to the proper relative position on the gauge scale. This algorithm is used to
dampen gauge needle movement against the negative effect that fuel sloshing within the fuel tank
can have on accurate inputs from the fuel tank sending unit to the cluster.
- Less Than 12.5 Percent Tank Full Input - Each time the fuel level sense input to the cluster
indicates the fuel tank is about 12.5 percent full or less for 10 consecutive seconds and the vehicle
speed is zero, or for 60 consecutive seconds and the vehicle speed is greater than zero, the gauge
needle is moved to about the one-sixteenth graduation on the gauge scale, the low fuel indicator is
illuminated, and a single chime tone is sounded. The low fuel indicator remains illuminated until the
fuel level sense input indicates that the fuel tank is greater than about 12.5 percent full for 10
consecutive seconds and the vehicle speed is zero, or for 60 consecutive seconds and the vehicle
speed is greater than zero, or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever
occurs first. The chime tone feature will only repeat during the same ignition cycle if the low fuel
indicator is cycled OFF and then ON again by the appropriate inputs from the fuel level sending
unit.
- Less Than Empty Stop Input - Each time the cluster receives a fuel level sense input that
indicates the fuel level in the fuel tank is less than the EMPTY gauge needle stop position, the
gauge needle is moved to the low end of the gauge scale and the low fuel indicator is illuminated
immediately. This input would indicate that the fuel level sense input to the cluster is a short circuit.
- More Than Full Stop Input - Each time the cluster receives a fuel level sense input that indicates
the fuel level in the fuel tank is more than the FULL gauge needle stop position, the gauge needle
is moved to the low end of the gauge scale and the low fuel indicator is illuminated immediately.
This input would indicate that the fuel level sense input to the cluster is an open circuit.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the fuel gauge needle will be
swept to several calibration points on the gauge scale in a prescribed sequence in order to confirm
the functionality of the gauge and the cluster control circuitry.
The ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) continually monitors the fuel tank sending unit to
determine the level of fuel in the fuel tank. The EMIC then sends the proper electronic fuel level
messages to other electronic modules in the vehicle over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data
bus. For further diagnosis of the fuel gauge or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the
gauge.
For proper diagnosis of the fuel tank sending unit, the EMIC, the CAN data bus or the electronic
communication related to fuel gauge operation or fuel level data processing a diagnostic scan tool
is required. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

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

Low Fuel Lamp/Indicator: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The low fuel indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the level of fuel in the fuel
tank becomes low. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument cluster circuit board
based upon cluster programming and a hard wired input received by the cluster from the fuel level
sending unit on the fuel pump module in the fuel tank.
The low fuel indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument cluster
logic circuit, and that logic will only allow this indicator to operate when the instrument cluster
receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the
LED will always be OFF when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED
only illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The
instrument cluster will turn ON the low fuel indicator for the following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position the low fuel indicator is
illuminated for about two seconds as a bulb test.
- Less Than 12.5 Percent Tank Full Input - The cluster provides a constant current source to the
fuel level sending unit and monitors a return input on a fuel level sense circuit. The resistance
through the fuel level sending unit increases as the fuel level falls and decreases as the fuel level
rises causing changes in the sense input voltage. Each time the fuel level sense input to the cluster
indicates the fuel tank is about 12.5 percent full or less for 10 consecutive seconds and the vehicle
speed is zero, or for 60 consecutive seconds and the vehicle speed is greater than zero, the fuel
gauge needle is moved to about the one-sixteenth graduation on the gauge scale, the low fuel
indicator is illuminated, and a single chime tone is sounded. The low fuel indicator remains
illuminated until the fuel level sense input indicates that the fuel tank is greater than about 12.5
percent full for 10 consecutive seconds and the vehicle speed is zero, or for 60 consecutive
seconds and the vehicle speed is greater than zero, or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF
position, whichever occurs first. The chime tone feature will only repeat during the same ignition
cycle if the low fuel indicator is cycled OFF and then ON again by the appropriate inputs from the
fuel level sending unit.
- Less Than Empty Stop Input - Each time the cluster receives a fuel level sense input that
indicates the fuel level in the fuel tank is less than the E (or Empty) gauge needle stop position, the
gauge needle is moved to the low end of the gauge scale and the low fuel indicator is illuminated
immediately. This input would indicate that the fuel level sense input to the cluster is a short circuit.
- More Than Full Stop Input - Each time the cluster receives a fuel level sense input that indicates
the fuel level in the fuel tank is more than the F (or Full) gauge needle stop position, the gauge
needle is moved to the low end of the gauge scale and the low fuel indicator is illuminated
immediately. This input would indicate that the fuel level sense input to the cluster is an open
circuit.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the low fuel indicator will be
turned ON, then OFF again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of
the LED and the cluster control circuitry.
The ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) continually monitors the fuel tank sending unit to
determine the level of fuel in the fuel tank. The cluster then sends the proper electronic fuel level
messages to other electronic modules in the vehicle over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data
bus. For further diagnosis of the low fuel indicator or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls
the LED.
For proper diagnosis of the fuel tank sending unit, the EMIC, the CAN data bus or the electronic
communication related to low fuel indicator operation or fuel level data processing a diagnostic
scan tool is required. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

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

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

Odometer: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
An odometer and trip odometer are standard factory-installed equipment in all instrument clusters.
The odometer, trip odometer, and engine hours information are displayed in a common electronic,
blue-green Vacuum-Fluorescent Display (VFD) unit. This VFD unit is soldered onto the cluster
electronic circuit board and is visible through a window with a smoked clear lens located below the
tachometer in the lower right area of the cluster overlay. The dark lens over the VFD prevents the
indicator from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated.
The odometer, trip odometer, and engine hours information are not displayed simultaneously. The
trip odometer reset switch on the instrument cluster circuit board toggles the display between
odometer and trip odometer modes by depressing the odometer/trip odometer switch button that
extends through the lower edge of the cluster lens, just left of the minor gauge set. When the trip
odometer information is displayed, the word TRIP is also illuminated in the lower right corner of the
odometer/trip odometer VFD in a blue-green color and at the same lighting level as the trip
odometer information. The engine hours information replaces the selected odometer or trip
odometer information whenever the ignition switch is in the ON position and the engine is not
running.
The odometer, trip odometer, and engine hours information is stored in the instrument cluster
memory. This information can be increased when the proper inputs are provided to the instrument
cluster, but the information cannot be decreased. The odometer can display values up to 999,999
kilometers (999,999 miles). The odometer latches at these values, and will not roll over to zero.
The trip odometer can display values up to 999.9 kilometers (999.9 miles) before it rolls over to
zero. Engine hours are displayed in the format, hr9999. The cluster will accumulate values up to
9,999 hours before the display rolls over to zero.
The odometer display does not have a decimal point and will not show values less than a full unit
(kilometer or mile), while the trip odometer display does have a decimal point and will show tenths
of a unit (kilometer or mile). The unit of measure (kilometers or miles) for the odometer and trip
odometer display is not shown in the VFD. The unit of measure for the instrument cluster
odometer/trip odometer is selected at the time that it is manufactured, and cannot be changed. The
odometer also has a RENTAL CAR mode, which will illuminate the odometer information in the
VFD whenever the driver side front door is opened with the ignition switch in the OFF or
ACCESSORY positions.
During daylight hours (exterior lamps are OFF) the odometer VFD is illuminated at full brightness
for clear visibility. At night (exterior lamps are ON), the VFD lighting level is adjusted with the other
cluster general illumination lamps using the panel lamps dimmer thumbwheel on the headlamp
switch. However, a PARADE mode position of the panel lamps dimmer thumbwheel allows the
VFD to be illuminated at full brightness if the exterior lamps are turned ON during daylight hours.
The odometer/trip odometer VFD, the trip odometer switch, and the trip odometer switch button are
serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Odometer: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The odometer and trip odometer give an indication to the vehicle operator of the distance the
vehicle has traveled. The engine hours give an indication of the cumulative engine-ON time. This
indicator is controlled by the instrument cluster circuitry based upon cluster programming and
electronic messages received by the cluster from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) over the
Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The odometer, trip odometer and engine hours information is displayed by the instrument cluster
odometer/trip odometer Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD). The VFD will display the odometer
information whenever any door is opened with the ignition switch in the OFF or ACCESSORY
positions, and will display the last previously selected odometer or trip odometer information when
the ignition switch is turned to the ON or START positions. The instrument cluster circuitry controls
the VFD and provides the following features:
- Odometer/Trip Odometer Display Toggling - Actuating the trip odometer reset switch button
momentarily with the VFD illuminated will toggle the display between the odometer and trip
odometer information. Each time the VFD is illuminated with the ignition switch in the ON or START
positions, the display will automatically return to the last mode previously selected (odometer or trip
odometer).
- Engine Hours Display Toggling - When the trip odometer reset switch button is pressed and held
for longer than about six seconds with the ignition switch in the ON position and the engine speed
message from the PCM is zero, the trip odometer information will be momentarily displayed, then
the engine hours information will be displayed. The VFD must be displaying the odometer
information when the trip odometer reset switch button is pressed in order to toggle to the engine
hours display. The engine hours will remain displayed for about 30 seconds, until the engine speed
message is greater than zero, or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever
occurs first.
- Trip Odometer Reset - When the trip odometer reset switch button is pressed and held for longer
than about two seconds with the ignition switch in the ON or START positions, the trip odometer
will be reset to 0.0 kilometers (miles). The VFD must be displaying the trip odometer information in
order for the trip odometer information to be reset.
- GASCAP Message Display - On vehicles manufactured with a United States country code, each
time the cluster receives an electronic message from the PCM indicating a monitored leak in the
evaporative emissions system, the cluster replaces the displayed odometer/trip odometer value
with the textual message, GASCAP. This message serves as a reminder to the vehicle operator to
check that the gas cap is properly installed and tightened, but could also indicate another source of
air leakage in the on-board evaporative and vapor recovery emissions systems. Unless the leak is
corrected, this message will latch and remain displayed during the current and each subsequent
ignition cycle until the trip odometer reset button is pressed and released momentarily, which will
revert the display to the odometer/trip odometer information that was last displayed for the
remainder of that ignition cycle. Once the source of a leak has been corrected, either momentarily
pressing the trip odometer reset button or cycling the ignition switch will unlatch the message and
return the odometer/trip odometer to normal operation.
- NO-FUSE Message Display - Each time the cluster receives an electronic message from the
Front Control Module (FCM) indicating the Ignition-Off Draw (IOD) feed for the cluster is an open
circuit, the cluster replaces the displayed odometer/trip odometer value with the textual message,
NO-FUSE. This message indicates that the IOD fuse is missing, blown or that the IOD feed circuit
is ineffective. Unless the problem is corrected, this message will latch and remain displayed during
the current and each subsequent ignition cycle until the trip odometer reset button is pressed and
released momentarily, which will revert the display to the odometer/trip odometer information that
was last displayed for the remainder of that ignition cycle. Once the problem has been corrected,
either momentarily pressing the trip odometer reset button or cycling the ignition switch will unlatch
the message and return the odometer/trip odometer to normal operation.
- Ambient Temperature Display - On vehicles that are not equipped with the optional Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC), each time the cluster receives an electronic ambient
temperature message from the FCM, the cluster replaces the displayed odometer/trip odometer
value with the ambient temperature value. This value will be displayed and updated during the
current ignition cycle until the trip odometer reset button is pressed and released momentarily,
which will revert the display to the odometer/trip odometer information that was last displayed for
the remainder of that ignition cycle.
- Communication Error - If the cluster fails to receive an electronic distance message during normal
operation, it will hold and display the last data received until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF
position. If the cluster does not receive a distance message within one second after the ignition
switch is turned to the ON position, it will display the last distance value stored in the cluster
memory. If the cluster is unable to display distance information due to an error internal to the
cluster, the VFD will display Error.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the odometer VFD will
display all of its segments simultaneously, then step through each character segment individually
during the VFD portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the VFD and the cluster control
circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the vehicle speed pulse information received from the Vehicle
Speed Sensor (VSS) and engine speed pulse information received from the crankshaft position
sensor, then sends the proper messages to the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC).
For proper diagnosis of the VSS, the crankshaft position sensor, the PCM, the EMIC, the CAN data
bus or the electronic communication related to odometer/trip odometer operation a diagnostic scan
tool is required. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Component Information > Description and Operation > Description > Page 11611
Parking Assist Warning Indicator: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The park assist display provides the vehicle operator with visual feedback by illuminating amber or
red Light Emitting Diode (LED) units individually or in unison, and audible feedback by energizing
an audible tone transducer on the display electronic circuit board to emit either an intermittent or a
continuous tone. While the park assist system is active, the number, position and color of the
illuminated LED units as well as the audible signal frequency indicate the relative position and
distance of obstacles detected at the rear of the vehicle.
The park assist display receives battery current and ground from and is completely controlled by
the park assist module. The display also contains an electronic communication chip that allows
bi-directional communication to occur with the park assist module over a dedicated serial bus line.
The microprocessor in the park assist module completely controls the display outputs, continually
monitors the display status, and will store a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) in memory for any
monitored fault it detects in the park assist display. The illumination intensity of the LED units is
also controlled by the park assist module based upon internal programming and electronic panel
lamps dimming messages received over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
When the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, all 16 of the LED units in the display will
illuminate in unison for approximately 1 second as a bulb test. This output will be interrupted if the
system is active and senses an obstacle. Following the conclusion of the bulb test, when the
system is active but no obstacle is detected, the display will indicate system readiness by
illuminating the two outermost amber LED units (1) at a reduced intensity. As an obstacle is
detected, the outermost amber LED unit (5) on the side of the vehicle where the obstacle was
detected will be illuminated at normal intensity. Then additional amber LED units (6) will begin
illuminating inward (2 or 4) as the obstacle gets closer until, finally, the two red LED units (7) are
illuminated.
When the final red LED unit (3) is illuminated, the obstacle is approximately 40 centimeters (16
inches) from the rear bumper and an intermittent audible tone will be generated. The frequency of
the audible tone will increase as the obstacle continues to become closer until the tone is
continuous when the obstacle is about 30 centimeters (12 inches) from the rear bumper. Whenever
a park assist audible tone is being generated, the park assist module sends electronic messages to
the radio over the CAN data bus to mute the audio system. The audible tone will be cancelled after
about two seconds if the detected distance to the obstacle remains constant. See the Park Assist
Display Outputs table for additional details.
The hard wired circuits between components related to the park assist display may be diagnosed
using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
The wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector repair procedures,
details of wire harness routing and retention, connector pin-out information and location views for
the various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.
However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the park
assist display or the electronic controls or communication between modules and other devices that
provide some features of the park assist system. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means
to diagnose the park assist display or the electronic controls and communication related to park
assist display operation requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate
diagnostic information.

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

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

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

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

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

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

circuitry and a fixed 210 degree primary scale on the gauge dial face that reads left-to-right either
from 0 to 120 mph, or from 0 to 200 km/h, depending upon the market for which the vehicle is
manufactured. Each version also has a secondary inner scale on the gauge dial face that provides
the equivalent opposite units from the primary scale. Text appearing on the cluster overlay above
the hub of the speedometer needle abbreviates the unit of measure for the primary scale (either
MPH or km/h), followed by the unit of measure for the secondary scale.
The speedometer graphics are black (primary scale) and blue (secondary scale) against a white
field, making them clearly visible within the instrument cluster in daylight. When illuminated from
behind by the panel lamps dimmer controlled cluster general illumination lighting with the exterior
lamps turned ON, the white gauge dial face appears blue-green with the black and blue graphics
silhouetted against the illuminated background and the red gauge needle still appears red. Gauge
illumination is provided by an integral electro-luminescent lamp that is serviced as a unit with the
instrument cluster.

Speedometer Head: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The speedometer gives an indication to the vehicle operator of the vehicle road speed. This gauge
is controlled by the instrument cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming and electronic
messages received by the cluster from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) over the Controller
Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The speedometer is an air core magnetic unit that receives battery current on the instrument
cluster electronic circuit board through the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit whenever
the ignition switch is in the ON or START positions. The cluster is programmed to move the gauge
needle back to the low end of the scale after the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position. The
instrument cluster circuitry controls the gauge needle position and provides the following features:
- Vehicle Speed Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic vehicle speed message
from the PCM it will calculate the correct vehicle speed reading and position the gauge needle at
that relative speed position on the gauge scale. The cluster will receive a new message and
reposition the gauge pointer accordingly about every 88 milliseconds. The gauge needle will
continually be positioned at the relative vehicle speed position on the gauge scale until the vehicle
stops moving, or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Communication Error - If the cluster fails to receive a speed message, it will hold the gauge
needle at the last indication for about three seconds , or until the ignition switch is turned to the
OFF position, whichever occurs first. After three seconds, the gauge needle will return to the left
end of the gauge scale.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the speedometer needle will
be swept to several calibration points on the gauge scale in a prescribed sequence in order to
confirm the functionality of the gauge and the cluster control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) to determine the vehicle road
speed. The PCM then sends the proper vehicle speed messages to the ElectroMechanical
Instrument Cluster (EMIC).
For proper diagnosis of the VSS, the PCM, the EMIC, the CAN data bus or the electronic
communication related to speedometer operation a diagnostic scan tool is required. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.

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

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

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

CAUTION
CAUTION: The use of tire sealants is not recommended for vehicles equipped with the Tire
Pressure Monitoring system. Tire sealants may clog tire pressure sensors.
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: It is not recommended to install a tire pressure sensor in an aftermarket wheel. Use tire
pressure sensors in original style factory wheels only.
CAUTION: Any time a sensor is to be reinstalled in a wheel, a new seal, cap and valve core must
be installed on the stem to ensure air tight sealing.
NOTE: TPM thresholds have been established for the original tire size equipped on the vehicle.
Use original size tires only to maintain system accuracy.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
NOTE: On vehicles equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), when the spare tire
pressure sensor is replaced with a new pressure sensor, a diagnostic scan tool MUST be used to
run a routine that will program the new pressure sensor ID into the Wireless Control Module
(WCM), commonly referred to as the Sentry Key Remote Entry Module (SKREEM). Please copy
the ID number off of the new pressure sensor before installing it into the spare tire. Then follow the
programming steps outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for: "Learn Spare Tire Sensor ID" under
Miscellaneous Functions for the "WCM/Wireless Control Module" menu item as appropriate.Then
install the spare tire with one of the active road tires.
NOTE: If replacing the WCM, the spare tire must be dismounted from its wheel to access and note
the spare tire pressure sensor ID. Then follow the programming steps outlined in the diagnostic
scan tool for "Learn Spare Tire Sensor ID" under Miscellaneous Functions for the WCM wireless
control module menu item as appropriate. In addition, the placard pressure thresholds must be
updated in the new WCM. Go to "Update Pressure Thresholds" under Miscellaneous Functions for
the WCM wireless control module and follow the procedure.
On vehicles equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring System, one tire pressure sensor (6) is
mounted to each wheel in place of the traditional tire valve stem. Each sensor has an internal
battery that lasts up to 10 years. The battery is not serviceable. At the time of battery failure, the
sensor must be replaced.
The TPM system operates on a 315 MHz radio frequency. The 315 MHz sensors can be easily
identified by a black sensor body, with (an oval insignia) (1) and a grey valve cap (2).
The Export TPM system operates on a 433 MHz radio frequency. The 433 MHz sensors can be
easily identified by a gray sensor body (with an oval insignia) and a black valve cap (2).
CAUTION: Although 315 MHz and 433 MHz sensors are identical in size and shape, they are not
interchangeable. Always make sure the correct sensor is being used.
NOTE: 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. The tire must be dismounted allowing visual inspection of the
sensor body.
NOTE: If aftermarket wheels are installed and do not contain tire pressure sensors, the system will
not function properly and the driver will be continuously notified of a system malfunction.
The TPM sensors are designed for original style factory wheels. It is not recommended to install a
tire pressure sensor in an aftermarket wheel. (This could cause sealing and system performance
issues).

The battery operated tire pressure sensor is both a transmitter and a receiver. The TPM sensor can
be forced to transmit if using a special tool such as a TPM-RKE Analyzer, or from a transponder.
The TPM-RKE Analyzer has the ability to change the sensor's operating mode and to diagnose a
faulty TPM sensor. Using a TPM-RKE Analyzer can take up to a minute to force a transmission
from a sensor. The TPM sensor can be in one of the following modes:
- Sleep Mode - 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). If the vehicle is not moving, the sensor will only transmit on a pressure change
greater then 1 PSI. Driving the vehicle continuously at this speed for more then 4 minutes, and then
stopping the vehicle will change the sensor state into Park Mode. If the vehicle is equipped with a
full size matching spare tire and the spare tire sensor has been replaced, The sensor must be
changed to Park Mode to conserve battery life. Either use a TPM-RKE Analyzer, or swap the spare
tire with a road tire.
- Park Mode - This is the correct operating mode when the vehicle is not moving. The sensor will
transmit once every 13 hours to update the WCM, or will transmit on a 1 PSI delta change. The
sensors will internally take a measurement of the tire pressure every minute to determine a change
in tire pressure
- 0ff / 30 Block - 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 revert back to Park Mode. 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 m.p.h. (24 Km/h)" after a sensor has been replaced, The vehicle must be stationary for more
than 20 minutes in order to initiate the learning sequence.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Testing and Inspection
TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR
NOTE: Tire pressure may increase from 14 to 41 kPa (2 to 6 psi) during normal driving conditions.
Do NOT reduce this normal pressure build up.
Check the tire pressure yellow telltale in the instrument cluster. If the yellow telltale is illuminating
continuously, proceed as listed below. If the yellow telltale is flashing on/off for 60 seconds, once
every ten minutes, there is a system fault detected. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
When diagnosing a tire pressure issue, always check air pressure in the tires first with a known
accurate air gauge. Adjust air pressure as necessary to that listed on the Tire Inflation Pressure
Label (Placard) provided with the vehicle (usually applied to the driver's side B-pillar). After
adjusting air pressure in a tire, allow approximately two minutes for the message or yellow telltale
to go out.
If air pressure in any tire is low, inspect all the tires for leaks. A water "dunk tank" or other water
test may be used to check for a leak around the tire assembly and sensor as long as any water at
the valve core is removed once the procedure is completed. The water can be easily expelled from
the core area by pushing in on the core for several seconds, allowing escaping air to drive out any
moisture. Reinflate the tire as necessary. Always make sure the original valve stem cap is securely
installed to keep moisture out of the sensor.
If the gauge-read pressure in the tires does not indicate a tire pressure issue, refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.

REMOVAL
1. Raise and support vehicle. 2. Remove the tire and wheel assembly.
CAUTION: The cap used on this valve stem contains an O-ring seal to prevent contamination and
moisture from entering the valve stem. Retain this valve stem cap for reuse. Do not substitute a
regular valve stem cap in its place.
CAUTION: The valve stem used on this vehicle is made of aluminum and the core is nickel plated
brass. The original valve stem core must be reinstalled and not substituted with a valve stem core
made of a different material. This is required to prevent corrosion in the valve stem caused by the
different metals.
3. Let the air out of the tire. 4. Remove the nut (3). 5. Push the sensor into the tire (1) (so the
sensor is loose inside the tire). 6. Remove the tire from the rim. 7. Retrieve the sensor (1) from the
tire.

4. While holding sensor in position, tighten sensor nut to 8 Nm (71 in. lbs.).
CAUTION: Over-tightening the sensor to as much as 10 Nm (88 in. lbs.) may result in sensor
separation from the valve stem. Under this condition, the sensor may still function, however, the
condition should be corrected immediately.
5. Mount tire on wheel following tire changer manufacturer's instructions, paying special attention to
the following to avoid damaging tire pressure
sensor: a.
Rotating Wheel Tire Changers - Once the wheel is mounted to the changer, position the sensor
valve stem (2) approximately 180° from the head of the changer (located at 1) in a clockwise
direction before rotating the wheel (also in a clockwise direction) to mount the tire. Use this
procedure on both the upper and lower tire beads. b.

Rotating Tool Tire Changers - Position the wheel on the changer so that the sensor valve stem (1)
is located approximately 180° clockwise from the installation end of the mounting/dismounting tool
(2) once the tool is mounted for tire installation. Make sure the sensor is clear of the lower bead
breaker area (3) to avoid damaging the sensor when the breaker rises. Rotate the tool (2) in a
counterclockwise direction to mount the tire. Use this procedure on both the upper and lower tire
beads.
6. Adjust air pressure to that listed on Tire Inflation Pressure Label (Placard) provided with vehicle
(usually applied to driver's side B-pillar). Make
sure original style valve stem cap is securely installed to keep moisture out of sensor.
7. Install tire and wheel assembly on vehicle. 8. Lower vehicle. 9. If the vehicle has been stationary
for more then 20 minutes, drive the vehicle for a minimum of 10 minutes while maintaining a
continuous speed
above 15 mph (24 km/h). During this time, the system will learn the new sensor ID.
NOTE: If a sensor cannot be trained, refer to appropriate diagnostic information.
SPARE TIRE SENSOR REPLACEMENT
NOTE: When the spare tire sensor is replaced on vehicles equipped with a Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) and a full-sized matching spare tire and wheel assembly, a diagnostic
scan tool MUST be used to run a routine that will program the new pressure sensor ID into the
Wireless Control Module (WCM), commonly referred to as the Sentry Key Remote Entry Module
(SKREEM). Please copy the ID number off of the new pressure sensor before installing it into the
spare tire. Then follow the programming steps outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for: "Learn Spare
Tire Sensor ID" under Miscellaneous Functions for the (WCM) Wireless Control Module menu item
as appropriate. If a TPM-RKE Analyzer special tool is available, put the new spare tire pressure
sensor into "Park" mode. If a TPM-RKE Analyzer special tool is not available, rotate the spare tire
with one of the road tires.

Traction Control Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation Electronic Stability Program/Brake
Assist System Indicator
Description
DESCRIPTION
An Electronic Stability Program/Brake Assist System (ESP/BAS) indicator is standard equipment
on all instrument clusters. This indicator is located in the center of the speedometer, in the area
below and to the left of the speedometer needle hub.
The ESP/BAS indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the text ESP BAS in the opaque layer of
the instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being
clearly visible when it is not illuminated. An amber Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in
the opaque layer of the overlay causes the indicator to appear in amber through the translucent
outer layer of the overlay when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the
instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
The ESP/BAS indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.
Operation
OPERATION
The ESP/BAS indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when a problem has been
detected in the Electronic Stability Program (ESP)/Brake Assist System (BAS). This indicator is
controlled by a transistor on the instrument cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming
and electronic messages received by the cluster from the Controller Antilock Brake (CAB) and the
Front Control Module (FCM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The ESP/BAS indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument
cluster logic circuit, and that logic will only allow this indicator to operate when the instrument
cluster receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit.
Therefore, the LED will always be OFF when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or
START. The LED only illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster
transistor. The instrument cluster will turn ON the ESP/BAS indicator for the following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position the ESP/BAS indicator is
illuminated for about four seconds as a bulb test.
- ESP/BAS Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic ESP/BAS
indicator lamp-ON message from the CAB or the FCM, the ESP/BAS indicator will be illuminated.
The indicator remains illuminated until the cluster receives a lamp-OFF message from the CAB or
FCM, or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the ESP/BAS indicator will
be turned ON, then OFF again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality
of the LED and the cluster control circuitry.
The CAB and FCM continually monitor the ESP/BAS system circuits and sensors to decide
whether the system is in good operating condition and the proper outputs to the components of the
system. The CAB or FCM then sends the proper lamp-ON or lamp-OFF message to the
ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC).
For proper diagnosis of the ESP/BAS system, the CAB, the FCM, the EMIC, the CAN data bus or
the electronic communication related to ESP/BAS

The traction control indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the International Control and
Display Symbol icon for Stability - Anti-Spin in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster overlay.
The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not

is illuminated for about four seconds as a bulb test. The entire bulb test is a function of the CAB.
- Traction Control Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic
traction control indicator lamp-ON message from the CAB indicating that the ESP/BAS/TCS has
been activated, the traction control indicator will be illuminated. The indicator remains illuminated
until the cluster receives a lamp-OFF message from the CAB, or until the ignition switch is turned to
the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the traction control indicator
will be turned ON, then OFF again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the
functionality of the LED and the cluster control circuitry.
The CAB continually monitors the status of the inputs to the ESP/BAS/TCS systems to determine
the proper outputs to the components of the Antilock Brake System (ABS). The CAB then sends
the proper lamp-ON or lamp-OFF message to the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC).

Transmission Shift Position Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
An electronic automatic transmission gear selector indicator is standard factory-installed equipment
on this vehicle. The gear selector indicator information is displayed in an electronic, blue-green
Vacuum-Fluorescent Display (VFD) unit. This VFD unit is soldered onto the cluster electronic circuit
board and is visible through a window with a smoked clear lens located below the tachometer in
the lower right area of the cluster overlay. The dark lens over the VFD prevents the indicator from
being clearly visible when it is not illuminated.
The gear selector indicator displays the following characters from left to right: P, R, N, D, 2, and 1.
Each character appears in a blue-green color and at the same lighting level as the odometer
information. Respectively, these characters represent the PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL, DRIVE,
second gear, and first gear positions of the transmission gear selector lever on the steering
column. The indicator also illuminates a rectangular box around the character that represents the
currently selected lever position.
During daylight hours (exterior lamps are OFF) the gear selector indicator is illuminated at full
brightness for clear visibility. At night (exterior lamps are ON), the indicator lighting level is adjusted
with the other cluster general illumination lamps using the panel lamps dimmer thumbwheel on the
headlamp switch. However, a PARADE mode position of the panel lamps dimmer thumbwheel
allows the indicator to be illuminated at full brightness if the exterior lamps are turned ON during
daylight hours.
The gear selector indicator is serviced as a unit with the VFD unit in the instrument cluster.

Transmission Shift Position Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The electronic gear selector indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator of the transmission
gear that has been selected with the automatic transmission gear selector lever. This indicator is
controlled by the instrument cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming and electronic
messages received from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) over the Controller Area Network
(CAN) data bus.
The gear selector indicator information is displayed by the odometer/trip odometer Vacuum
Fluorescent Display (VFD) unit soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board, and
the VFD will not display the gear selector indicator information after the ignition switch is turned to
the OFF position. Each time the cluster is disconnected from battery current for more than about
five minutes, it must configure itself for the automatic transmission type that is in the vehicle once it
is reconnected to battery current. The instrument cluster circuitry operates the gear selector
indicator to provide the following features:
- Selected Gear Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic selected gear message
from the PCM, a box will be illuminated around the appropriate character in the gear selector
indicator. The box will remain illuminated until the cluster receives a different selected gear
message, or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Communication Error - If the cluster fails to receive a selected gear message from the PCM within
three seconds, the instrument cluster circuitry will display all gear selector positions boxed
(selected) until a valid selected gear message is received or until the ignition switch is turned to the
OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the odometer/trip odometer
VFD will display all of its characters at once, then step through each character segment individually
during the VFD portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the VFD and the cluster control
circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors a hard wired multiplex input from the Transmission Range Sensor
(TRS), then sends the proper message to the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC).
For proper diagnosis of the TRS, the PCM, the EMIC, the CAN data bus or the electronic
communication related to gear selector indicator operation a diagnostic scan tool is required. Refer
to the appropriate diagnostic information.

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

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

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.

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.

Door Switch: Description and Operation Description
Door
DOOR
This vehicle has four door ajar switches, one for each door. Each switch is concealed within and
integral to its respective door latch unit. The switches are momentary leaf contact-type units that
are actuated by the mechanisms internal to the door latch. A short pigtail wire and connector on
each door latch connects the door ajar switch to the vehicle electrical system through its respective
door wire harness.
The door ajar switches cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, the door latch
unit must be replaced.
Liftgate
LIFTGATE
A liftgate ajar switch is standard equipment on this vehicle. The switch is concealed within and
integral to the liftgate latch unit. The switch is a momentary leaf contact-type unit that is actuated by
the liftgate latch mechanisms. An integral connector receptacle on the liftgate latch connects the
liftgate ajar switch to the vehicle electrical system through the liftgate wire harness.
The liftgate ajar switch cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, the liftgate
latch unit must be replaced.

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

Fog/Driving Lamp Indicator: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
A fog lamp indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. However, on vehicles not
equipped with optional fog lamps, this indicator is electronically disabled. This indicator is located
near the upper edge of the instrument cluster, between the minor gauge set and the speedometer.
The fog lamp indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the International Control and Display
Symbol icon for Front Fog Light in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster overlay. The dark
outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated.
A green Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the overlay causes the
indicator to appear in green through the translucent outer layer of the overlay when it is illuminated
from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
The fog lamp indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Fog/Driving Lamp Indicator: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The fog lamp indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator whenever the optional fog lamps
are illuminated. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument cluster circuit board
based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received by the cluster from the Front
Control Module (FCM) (also known as the Integrated Power Module/IPM) over the Controller Area
Network (CAN) data bus.
The fog lamp indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument cluster
logic circuit, and that logic will allow this indicator to operate whenever the instrument cluster
receives a battery current input on the fused B(+) circuit. Therefore, the LED can be illuminated
regardless of the ignition switch position. The LED only illuminates when it is provided a path to
ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The instrument cluster will turn ON the fog lamp
indicator for the following reasons:
- Fog Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic fog indicator
lamp-ON message from the FCM indicating the fog lamp relay is energized, the fog lamp indicator
will be illuminated. The indicator remains illuminated until the cluster receives a lamp-OFF
message from the FCM, or until the exterior lamp load shedding (battery saver) timed interval
expires, whichever occurs first.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the fog lamp indicator will be
turned ON, then OFF again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of
the LED and the cluster control circuitry.
The FCM continually monitors electronic exterior lighting switch status messages from the
ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) to determine the appropriate outputs to the fog lamp
relay. The FCM activates or deactivates the fog lamp relay then sends the proper lamp-ON or
lamp-OFF message back to the EMIC.
For proper diagnosis of the fog lamp system, the FCM, the EMIC, the CAN data bus or the
electronic communication related to fog lamp indicator operation a diagnostic scan tool is required.
Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

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

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

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

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

Hi-Beam Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The high beam indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator whenever the headlamp high
beams are illuminated. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument cluster circuit
board based upon cluster programming and a hard wired multiplex input received by the cluster
from the headlamp beam select switch circuitry of the multi-function switch on the washer/beam
select switch mux circuit.
The high beam indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument
cluster logic circuit, and that logic will allow this indicator to operate whenever the instrument
cluster receives a battery current input on the fused B(+) circuit. Therefore, the LED can be
illuminated regardless of the ignition switch position. The LED only illuminates when it is provided a
path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The instrument cluster will turn ON the high
beam indicator for the following reasons:
- High Beam Headlamps-On Input - Each time the cluster detects a high beam headlamps-ON
input from the headlamp beam select switch circuitry of the multi-function switch on the
washer/beam select switch mux circuit, the headlamp high beams and the high beam indicator will
be illuminated. The indicator remains illuminated until the cluster receives a high beam
headlamps-OFF input from the multi-function switch, or until the exterior lamp load shedding
(battery saver) timed interval expires, whichever occurs first.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the high beam indicator will
be turned ON, then OFF again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality
of the LED and the cluster control circuitry.
The ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) continually monitors the headlamp switch and
the multi-function switch to determine the proper headlamp low beam and high beam control. The
EMIC then sends the proper electronic low beam and high beam lamp-ON and lamp-OFF
messages to the Front Control Module (FCM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus
and controls the high beam indicator operation accordingly.
The hard wired headlamp switch and multi-function switch inputs and circuits related to high beam
indicator operation may be diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to
the appropriate wiring information. For proper diagnosis of the FCM, the EMIC, the CAN data bus
or the electronic communication related to high beam indicator operation a diagnostic scan tool is
required. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

between a body ground and the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the
Cab Compartment Node/CCN). The EMIC reads the hard wired liftgate ajar switch input through an
internal pull-up, then uses this input to control many electronic functions and features of the
vehicle.
The liftgate ajar switch as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the switch may be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information.

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

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

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 Durango 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L VIN 2 (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Trailer Lamps > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 12039
- Probing Tools - These tools are used for probing terminals in connectors. Select the proper size
tool from Special Tool Package 6807, and insert the probing end (2) into the terminal being tested.
Use the other end of the tool (1) to insert the meter probe.
INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent electrical problems are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. It is also
possible for a sticking component or relay to cause a problem. Before condemning a component or
wiring assembly, check the following items.
- Connectors are fully seated
- Spread terminals, or terminal push out
- Terminals in the wiring assembly are fully seated into the connector/component and locked into
position
- Dirt or corrosion on the terminals. Any amount of corrosion or dirt could cause an intermittent
problem
- Damaged connector/component casing exposing the item to dirt or moisture
- Wire insulation that has rubbed through causing a short to ground
- Some or all of the wiring strands broken inside of the insulation
- Wiring broken inside of the insulation
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are six steps which can aid in the procedure. The
steps are listed and explained below. Always check for non-factory items added to the vehicle
before doing any diagnosis. If the vehicle is equipped with these items, disconnect them to verify
these add-on items are not the cause of the problem.
1. Verify the problem.
2. Verify any related symptoms. Do this by performing operational checks on components that are
in the same circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams.
3. Analyze the symptoms. Use the wiring diagrams to determine what the circuit is doing, where the
problem most likely is occurring and where the
diagnosis will continue.
4. Isolate the problem area.
5. Repair the problem area.
6. Verify the proper operation. For this step, check for proper operation of all items on the repaired
circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams.

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

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Trailer Lighting Relay > Component Information > Description and
Operation > Description > Page 12051
Trailer Lighting Relay: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The trailer tow relays are electromechanical switches that use a low current input from the Front
Control Module (FCM) (also referred to as the Integrated Power Module/IPM) to control a high
current output to trailer brake and turn signal lamps. Within each relay are an electromagnetic coil,
a movable contact and two fixed contact points. A resistor is connected in parallel with the coil, and
helps to dissipate voltage spikes and electromagnetic interference that can be generated as the
field of the relay coil collapses.
The movable common supply contact point is held against the fixed normally closed contact point
by spring pressure. When the relay coil is energized, an electromagnetic field is produced by the
coil windings. This field draws the movable contact away from the normally closed contact, and
holds it against the normally open contact. When the relay coil is de-energized, spring pressure
returns the movable contact back against the normally closed contact.
The inputs and outputs of the trailer tow relays include:
- Common Supply Terminal (30) - The common feed terminal is connected to a fused B(+) circuit at
all times.
- Coil Ground Terminal (85) - The coil ground terminal is connected to a fused B(+) circuit at all
times.
- Coil Battery Terminal (86) - The coil battery terminal is connected to a control output of the FCM
through a right or left trailer tow turn relay control circuit. The FCM controls trailer brake and turn
lamp operation by controlling a ground path through this circuit.
- Normally Open Terminal (87) - The normally open terminal is connected to the trailer lamps
through a right or left trailer tow turn relay output circuit and provides battery voltage to the right or
left trailer brake and turn lamps whenever the relay is energized.
- Normally Closed Terminal (87A) - The normally closed terminal is not connected to any circuit in
this application, but will have battery voltage present whenever the relay is de-energized.
The trailer tow relays as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the relays may be diagnosed
using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.

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

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

Turn Signal Cancel Cam: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
When the multi-function switch control stalk is moved to a latched turn signal position, a turn signal
cancel actuator is extended from the inside surface of the switch housing toward the turn signal
cancel cam. As the steering wheel is rotated to complete the turn, one of the two cam lobes will
contact the actuator, automatically cancelling the turn signal event and releasing the latched
multi-function switch control stalk to the neutral position.

Turn Signal Indicator: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
Two turn signal indicators, one right and one left, are standard equipment on all instrument
clusters. The turn signal indicators are located near the upper edge of the instrument cluster, the
right one is between the speedometer and the tachometer, and the left one is between the
speedometer and the minor gauge set.
Each turn signal indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the International Control and Display
Symbol icon for Turn Warning in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer
layer of the overlay prevents these indicators from being clearly visible when they are not
illuminated. A green Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind each cutout in the opaque layer of the
overlay causes each indicator to appear in green through the translucent outer layer of the overlay
when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the instrument cluster
electronic circuit board.
The turn signal indicators are serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Turn Signal Indicator: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The turn signal indicators give an indication to the vehicle operator that a turn signal (left or right
indicator flashing) or the hazard warning (both left and right indicators flashing) have been selected
and are operating. These indicators are controlled by transistors on the instrument cluster
electronic circuit board based upon cluster programming, a hard wired multiplex input received by
the cluster from the turn signal and hazard warning switch circuitry of the multi-function switch on
the turn/hazard switch mux circuit, and electronic messages received from the Front Control
Module (FCM) (also known as the Integrated Power Module/IPM) over the Controller Area Network
(CAN) data bus.
Each turn signal indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument
cluster logic circuit, and that logic will allow this indicator to operate whenever the instrument
cluster receives a battery current input on the fused B(+) circuit. Therefore, each LED can be
illuminated regardless of the ignition switch position. The LED only illuminates when it is provided a
path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The instrument cluster will turn ON the turn
signal indicators for the following reasons:
- Turn Signal-On Input - Each time the cluster detects a turn signal-ON input from the turn signal
switch circuitry of the multi-function switch on the turn/hazard switch mux circuit, it sends the
appropriate electronic turn signal switch status messages to the FCM over the CAN data bus. The
FCM responds to these messages by controlling a battery voltage output and the flash rate for
either the right or left turn signal lamps. The FCM also sends the appropriate electronic messages
back to the cluster to control the flash rate of the turn signal indicators, as well as to control the
click rate of an electromechanical relay soldered onto the cluster electronic circuit board that
emulates the sound emitted by a conventional turn signal flasher. The turn signal indicators
continue to flash ON and OFF until the cluster receives a turn signal-OFF input from the
multi-function switch, or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs
first.
- Hazard Warning-On Input - Each time the cluster detects a hazard warning-ON input from the
hazard warning switch circuitry of the multi-function switch on the turn/hazard switch mux circuit, it
sends the appropriate electronic hazard switch status messages to the FCM over the CAN data
bus. The FCM responds to these messages by controlling a battery voltage output and the flash
rate for each of the right and left turn signal lamps. The FCM also sends the appropriate electronic
messages back to the cluster to control the flash rate of the turn signal indicators, as well as to
control the click rate of an electromechanical relay soldered onto the cluster electronic circuit board
that emulates the sound emitted by a conventional hazard warning flasher. The turn signal
indicators continue to flash ON and OFF until the cluster receives a hazard warning-OFF input from
the multi-function switch.
- Lamp Out Mode - If the FCM detects an ineffective turn signal lamp or circuit, it increases the
flash rate for the remaining operative turn signals and sends an electronic message to the
instrument cluster. The instrument cluster then increases the flash rate of the turn signal indicators
and the click rate of the electromechanical relay to provide an indication of the problem to the
vehicle operator.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the turn signal indicators will
be turned ON, then OFF again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality
of each LED and the cluster control circuitry.
The ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) continually monitors the multi-function switch
and electronic messages from the FCM to determine the proper turn signal and hazard warning
indicator operation.
For proper diagnosis of the turn signal and hazard warning system, the multi-function switch, the
FCM, the EMIC, the CAN data bus or the electronic communication related to turn signal indicator
operation a diagnostic scan tool is required. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

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

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

NOTE: The EBL system turns off automatically after approximately 15 minutes of initial operation.
Each following activation cycle of the EBL system will last approximately 10 minutes.
The EBL system will be automatically turned off after an initial programmed time interval of about
15 minutes as long as the ignition switch is in RUN. After the initial time interval has expired, if the
rear window defogger switch is pressed to ON again during the same ignition cycle, the EBL
system will automatically turn off after about 10 minutes. The EBL system will also turn off if the
ignition switch is turned to any position other than RUN or by manually pressing the rear window
defogger switch a second time.
The rear window defogger switch and indicator lamp cannot be adjusted or repaired and the
A/C-heater control must be replaced if found inoperative or damaged.

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

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

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

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

POWER WINDOW SWITCH
The front door power window switches are included in the window/lock switch.
The Light-Emitting Diode (LED) illumination lamps for all of the power window switch knobs receive
battery current through the power window circuit breaker in the junction block. If all of the LEDs are
inoperative in the power window switch and the power windows are inoperative, refer to Power
Window testing. See: Windows/Testing and Inspection
If the power windows operate, but any or all of the LEDs are inoperative, the power window and
lock switch units with the inoperative LED(s) must be replaced. For complete circuit diagrams, refer
to the appropriate wiring information.
1. Check the fuse and the circuit breaker. If OK, go to STEP 2. If not OK, replace the fuse or circuit
breaker.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. Check for battery voltage at the fuse in the Integrated
Power Module (IPM). If OK, turn the ignition
switch to the OFF position and go to STEP 3. If not OK, check circuit breaker and repair the circuit
to the ignition switch as required.
3. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable. Remove the power window switch from the
door trim panel. Unplug the wire harness connector
from the switch.
4. Test the power window switch continuity. See the Power Window Switch Continuity chart to
determine if the continuity is correct in the Neutral,
Up and Down switch positions. If OK, Power Window testing. If not OK, replace the inoperative
switch.

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

Power Window Motor: Testing and Inspection
WINDOW MOTOR
For complete circuit diagrams, refer to the appropriate wiring information.
1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable. Remove the trim panel from the door with the
inoperative power window.
2. Unplug the power window motor wire harness connector. Apply 12 volts across the motor
terminals to check its operation in one direction.
Reverse the connections across the motor terminals to check the operation in the other direction. If
the window is in the full up or full down position, the motor will not operate in that direction by
design. If OK, repair the circuits from the power window motor to the power window switch as
required. If not OK, replace the inoperative motor.
3. If the motor operates in both directions, check the operation of the window glass and lift
mechanism through its complete up and down travel.
There should be no binding or sticking of the window glass or lift mechanism through the entire
travel range. If not OK, check the window glass, tracks, and regulator for sticking, binding, or
improper adjustment.

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

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

Power Window Switch: Testing and Inspection Switch-Power Window
POWER WINDOW SWITCH
The front door power window switches are included in the window/lock switch.
The Light-Emitting Diode (LED) illumination lamps for all of the power window switch knobs receive
battery current through the power window circuit breaker in the junction block. If all of the LEDs are
inoperative in the power window switch and the power windows are inoperative, refer to Power
Window testing. See: Testing and Inspection
If the power windows operate, but any or all of the LEDs are inoperative, the power window and
lock switch units with the inoperative LED(s) must be replaced. For complete circuit diagrams, refer
to the appropriate wiring information.
1. Check the fuse and the circuit breaker. If OK, go to STEP 2. If not OK, replace the fuse or circuit
breaker.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. Check for battery voltage at the fuse in the Integrated
Power Module (IPM). If OK, turn the ignition
switch to the OFF position and go to STEP 3. If not OK, check circuit breaker and repair the circuit
to the ignition switch as required.
3. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable. Remove the power window switch from the
door trim panel. Unplug the wire harness connector
from the switch.
4. Test the power window switch continuity. See the Power Window Switch Continuity chart to
determine if the continuity is correct in the Neutral,
Up and Down switch positions. If OK, Power Window testing. If not OK, replace the inoperative
switch.

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

Body - Windshield Crack Diagnosis > Page 12296
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.

Relays conforming to the ISO specifications have common physical dimensions, current capacities,
terminal patterns, and terminal functions. This relay is contained within a small, rectangular,
molded plastic housing and is connected to all of the required inputs and outputs through five
integral male spade-type terminals that extend from the relay base plate.
The wiper high/low relay is located in the Power Distribution Center (PDC) in the engine
compartment near the battery. Refer to the layout label on the underside of the PDC cover for
specific relay cavity assignment information. The wiper high/low relay cannot be adjusted or
repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, the unit must be replaced.
Operation
OPERATION
The wiper high/low relay is an electromechanical switch that uses a low current input from the Front
Control Module (FCM) to control a high current output to the front wiper motor. The movable
common feed contact point is held against the fixed normally closed contact point by spring
pressure. When the relay coil is energized, an electromagnetic field is produced by the coil
windings. This electromagnetic field draws the movable relay contact point away from the fixed
normally closed contact point, and holds it against the fixed normally open contact point. When the
relay coil is de-energized, spring pressure returns the movable contact point back against the fixed
normally closed contact point. A resistor is connected in parallel with the relay coil in the relay, and
helps to dissipate voltage spikes and electromagnetic interference that can be generated as the
electromagnetic field of the relay coil collapses.
The wiper high/low relay terminals are connected to the vehicle electrical system through a
connector receptacle in the Power Distribution Center (PDC). The inputs and outputs of the wiper
high/low relay include:
Common Feed Terminal - The common feed terminal (30) is connected to the output of the wiper
on/off relay at all times through the wiper on/off relay output circuit.
- Coil Ground Terminal - The coil ground terminal (85) is connected to a control output of the Front
Control Module (FCM) through a wiper high/low relay control circuit. The FCM controls wiper motor
operation by controlling a ground path through this circuit.
- Coil Battery Terminal - The coil battery terminal (86) receives battery current when the ignition
switch is in the On or Accessory positions from a fuse in the PDC through a fused ignition switch
output (run-acc) circuit.
- Normally Open Terminal - The normally open terminal (87) is connected to the high speed brush
of the wiper motor through a wiper high/low relay high speed output circuit, and is connected to the
high speed brush whenever the relay is energized.
- Normally Closed Terminal - The normally closed terminal (87A) is connected to the low speed
brush of the wiper motor through a wiper high/low relay low speed output circuit, and is connected
to the low speed brush whenever the relay is de-energized.
The wiper high/low relay as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the relay may be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information.

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

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

Washer Fluid Level Indicator: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
A washer fluid indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. This indicator is located in
the center of the speedometer, in the area below and to the left of the speedometer needle hub.
This indicator is located within the odometer/trip odometer Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) unit.
However, on vehicles equipped with the optional Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) the
washer fluid indicator in the odometer VFD is electronically suppressed so as not to duplicate
indications that are provided by the EVIC. The washer fluid indicator consists of the text LOWASH,
which appears in place of the odometer/trip odometer information in the odometer VFD unit.
The odometer VFD is soldered onto the cluster electronic circuit board and is visible through a
window with a smoked clear lens located on the lower edge of the tachometer gauge dial face of
the cluster overlay. The dark lens over the VFD prevents it from being clearly visible when it is not
illuminated. The washer fluid indicator appears in the same blue-green color and at the same
lighting level as the odometer/trip odometer information when it is illuminated by the instrument
cluster electronic circuit board.
The washer fluid indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Washer Fluid Level Indicator: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The washer fluid indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator that the fluid level in the
washer reservoir is low. This indicator is controlled by the instrument cluster logic circuit based
upon cluster programming and electronic messages received by the cluster from the Front Control
Module (FCM) (also known as the Integrated Power Module/IPM or Power Distribution
Center/PDC) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The washer fluid indicator function of the Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) is completely
controlled by the instrument cluster logic circuit, and that logic will only allow this indicator to
operate when the instrument cluster receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch
output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the VFD washer fluid indication will always be OFF when the
ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The instrument cluster will turn ON the
washer fluid indicator for the following reasons:
- Washer Fluid Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic washer
fluid indicator lamp-ON message from the FCM indicating that a low washer condition has been
detected for 60 consecutive seconds, the washer fluid indicator is illuminated and a single chime
tone is sounded. The indicator remains illuminated until the cluster receives lamp-OFF messages
for 60 consecutive seconds from the FCM, or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position,
whichever occurs first. The chime tone feature will only repeat during the same ignition cycle if the
washer fluid indicator is cycled OFF and then ON again by the appropriate lamp-ON and lamp-OFF
messages from the FCM.
The FCM continually monitors the washer fluid level switch in the washer reservoir to determine the
level of the washer fluid. The FCM then sends the proper lamp-ON or lamp-OFF message to the
ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC).
For proper diagnosis of the washer fluid level switch, the FCM, the EMIC, the CAN data bus or the
electronic communication related to washer fluid indicator operation a diagnostic scan tool is
required. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Windshield Washer Pump: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The washer pump/motor unit is located on the rearward facing side of the washer reservoir, in the
left front fender wheel house ahead of the front wheel and the left front wheel house splash shield.
A small permanently lubricated and sealed reversible electric motor (3) is coupled to the rotor-type
washer pump (4). The use of an integral valve body (7) allows the washer pump/motor unit to
provide washer fluid to either the front or the rear washer systems, depending upon the direction of
the pump impeller rotation.
An inlet nipple (6) on the pump housing passes through a rubber grommet seal/filter screen
installed in a dedicated mounting hole of the washer reservoir sump. The filter screen prevents
most debris from entering the pump housing. When the pump is installed in the reservoir the front
barbed outlet nipple (5) on the pump valve body housing connects the unit to the front washer
hose, and the rear barbed outlet nipple (8) connects the unit to the rear washer hose. The letters F
and R molded into the valve body housing adjacent to each nipple provide further clarification of
the nipple assignments.
The washer pump/motor unit is retained on the reservoir by the interference fit between the pump
inlet nipple and the grommet seal, and by a snap post (2) at the top of the pump motor housing that
is engaged into a receptacle on the reservoir which is a light snap fit. An integral connector
receptacle (1) on the top of the motor housing connects the unit to the vehicle electrical system
through a dedicated take out and connector of the headlamp and dash wire harness.
The washer pump/motor unit cannot be repaired. If ineffective or damaged, the entire washer
pump/motor unit must be replaced.

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 Front Control Module (FCM). When battery current and
ground are applied to the two pump motor terminals, the motor rotates in one direction. When the
polarity of these connections is reversed, the motor rotates in the opposite direction. When the
pump motor is energized, the rotor-type pump pressurizes the washer fluid and forces it through
one of the two pump outlet nipples, and into the front or rear washer plumbing.
The FCM controls the hard wired outputs to the pump motor based upon electronic washer request
messages received over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus from the ElectroMechanical
Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN). The EMIC monitors
a resistor multiplexed input from the front washer switch circuitry contained within the multi-function
switch, and electronic rear washer switch status messages received over the CAN data bus from
the A/C-heater control on the instrument panel to determine the proper washer request message to
send. Whenever the low washer fluid indicator is illuminated, the EMIC is programmed to suppress
all rear washer requests in order to give priority to the need for forward visibility.
Washer fluid is gravity-fed from the washer reservoir to the inlet port of the washer pump housing.
An integral valve body is located in a housing on the outlet port side (2) of the pump housing. A
diaphragm (4) in this valve body controls which washer system plumbing receives the washer fluid
being pressurized by the pump. When the pump is not operating the diaphragm is biased to close
all washer fluid flow in the rear washer system and, in this way it also performs the function of the
rear washer system check valve.
When the pump impeller (1) rotates in the counterclockwise direction (viewed from the bottom), the
biased diaphragm is sealing off the rear washer system outlet and nipple so the pressurized
washer fluid is pushed out through the pump front outlet port and the front washer outlet nipple (5).
When the pump impeller rotates in the clockwise direction (viewed from the bottom), pressurized
washer fluid is pushed out through the pump rear outlet port and moves the diaphragm to open the
rear washer outlet nipple and seal off the front washer outlet nipple, then the pressurized washer
fluid is pushed out through the rear washer outlet nipple (3).
The washer pump/motor unit and the hard wired motor control circuits from the FCM may be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information. However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of
the washer pump/motor unit or the electronic controls or communication between other modules
and devices that provide some features of the front and rear wiper and washer system. The most
reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the washer pump/motor unit or the electronic
controls and communication related to washer pump/motor unit operation requires the use of a
diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Windshield Washer Reservoir: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The molded plastic washer fluid reservoir is integral to the engine coolant overflow bottle located on
the left end of the air conditioning condenser module in the left front corner of the engine
compartment. A single washer fluid reservoir is used for both the front and rear washer systems.
A bright yellow plastic filler cap with a rubber seal and an International Control and Display Symbol
icon for Windshield Washer and the text WASHER FLUID ONLY molded into it snaps over the
open end of the filler neck. The cap hinges on and is secured to a molded-in hook formation on the
top of the reservoir just behind the filler neck when it is removed for inspecting or adjusting the fluid
level in the reservoir.
There are separate, dedicated holes on the lower rearward facing side of the reservoir provided for
the mounting of the washer/pump motor unit and the washer fluid level switch. A snap post
receptacle for the washer pump is molded into the reservoir to allow for mounting of the washer
pump/motor unit without the use of fasteners.
The washer reservoir is serviced only as a unit with the engine coolant reserve bottle. The washer
reservoir cannot be repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, the coolant reserve bottle/washer
reservoir unit must be replaced. The grommet seals for the washer pump/motor unit and the
washer fluid level switch, and the filler cap are each available for individual service replacement.

Windshield Washer Reservoir: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The washer fluid reservoir provides a secure, on-vehicle storage location for a large reserve of
washer fluid for operation of the front and rear washer systems. The washer reservoir filler neck
provides a clearly marked and readily accessible point from which to add washer fluid to the
reservoir.
The washer/pump motor unit is located in a sump area near the bottom of the reservoir to be
certain that washer fluid will be available to the pump as the fluid level in the reservoir becomes
depleted. The washer fluid level switch is mounted just above the sump area of the reservoir so
that there will be adequate warning to the vehicle operator that the washer fluid level is low, before
the front washer system will no longer operate. The ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC)
is programmed to suppress rear washer system operation upon illumination of the low washer fluid
indicator so that the front washers can remain operational until the fluid level can be replenished.

Front
FRONT
The fluidic front washer nozzles (2) are constructed of molded plastic. Each nozzle has two integral
latches that secure them in dedicated holes in the hood panel near the base of the windshield. A
check valve is integral to each front washer nozzle. The domed upper surface of the washer nozzle
is visible on the outside of the hood panel, and the nozzle orifice (1) is oriented towards the
windshield glass. 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 rear washer nozzle (3) is a fluidic-type unit constructed of molded plastic. The nozzle is
secured by a snap fit in a dedicated mounting hole in the liftgate outer panel above the liftgate
glass with the orifice (5) aimed downward. A rubber gasket (2) seals the nozzle to the outside of
the liftgate panel. The back of the nozzle includes an integral alignment feature (4), an engagement
tab (1), a latch feature (6) and the washer plumbing nipple (7) which are all concealed between the
liftgate inner and outer panels when the nozzle is installed.

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 hood panel. A fluidic matrix within the washer nozzle
causes the pressurized washer fluid to be emitted from the nozzle orifice as an oscillating stream to
more effectively cover a larger area of the glass to be cleaned.
The integral check valve prevents washer fluid from draining out of the washer supply hoses back
to the washer reservoir. This drain-back would result in a delay from when the washer pump is
energized until washer fluid was dispensed through the nozzles. Such a drain-back condition could
also result in water, dirt, or other outside contaminants being siphoned into the washer system
through the washer nozzle orifice. This water could subsequently freeze and plug the nozzle, while
other contaminants could interfere with proper nozzle operation and cause improper nozzle spray
patterns.
When the washer pump pressurizes and pumps washer fluid from the reservoir through the washer
plumbing, the fluid pressure unseats a diaphragm from over a sump well within the nozzle. With the
diaphragm unseated, washer fluid is allowed to flow through the washer nozzle. When the washer
pump stops operating, the diaphragm seats over the sump well in the valve and fluid flow in either
direction within the washer plumbing is prevented.

The wiper blades are moved back and forth across the glass by the wiper arms when the wipers
are being operated. The wiper blade superstructure is the flexible frame that grips the wiper blade
element and evenly distributes the force of the spring-loaded wiper arm along the length of the
element. The combination of the wiper arm force and the flexibility of the superstructure makes the

the varied curvature that may be encountered across the glass surface.
The wiper element flexor provides the claws of the blade superstructure with a rigid, yet flexible
component on the element which can be gripped. The rubber element is designed to be stiff
enough to maintain an even cleaning edge as it is drawn across the glass, yet resilient enough to
conform to the glass surface and flip from one cleaning edge to the other each time the wiper blade
changes directions.
Rear
REAR
The rear wiper blade is moved back and forth across the liftgate glass by the wiper arm when the
rear wiper system is in operation. The wiper blade superstructure is the flexible frame that grips the
wiper blade element and evenly distributes the force of the spring-loaded wiper arm along the
length of the element. The combination of the wiper arm force and the flexibility of the
superstructure makes the element conform to and maintain proper contact with the glass, even as
the blade is moved over the varied curvature found across the glass surface.

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 Durango 2wd Workshop Manual (V8-5.7L VIN 2 (2007))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Wiper and Washer Systems > Wiper Motor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 12429
- 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.

Wiper Motor: Description and Operation Wiper Motor
Description
REAR
The rear wiper motor (2) is concealed within the liftgate, below the liftgate glass and behind the
liftgate inner trim panel. The end of the motor output shaft (1) that extends through the liftgate outer
panel to drive the rear wiper arm and blade is the only visible component of the rear wiper motor. A
rubber bezel and grommet is engaged within the output shaft hole of the liftgate outer panel and
seals the output shaft where it passes through the panel. An integral connector receptacle (4)
connects the rear wiper motor to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated take out and
connector of the liftgate wire harness. The rear wiper motor consists of the following major
components:
- Bracket (5) - The rear wiper motor bracket consists of a molded plastic mounting plate for the
wiper motor that is secured with screws to the wiper motor housing, and through three rubber
isolators (3) to the liftgate inner panel.
- Motor - The single-speed permanent magnet rear wiper motor is secured with screws to the rear
wiper motor bracket. The wiper motor includes an integral transmission, a motor output shaft, an
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 bezel and
grommet, nut, and nut cover are available for individual service replacement.
Operation
REAR
The rear wiper motor operation is controlled by the rear wiper relay, which controls battery current
flow to the rear wiper motor brushes based upon control outputs from the Front Control Module
(FCM). The FCM uses internal programming, hard wired outputs from the rear wiper motor park
switch, and electronic messages received over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus from
the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) and from rear wiper and washer switches in the
heater-A/C control to determine when to energize or de-energize the rear wiper relay.
The rear wiper motor park switch is a single pole, single throw, momentary switch within the wiper
motor that is mechanically actuated by the wiper motor transmission components. The park switch
alternately closes and opens a path to ground for the rear wiper motor control circuit input to the
FCM, depending upon the position of the rear wiper blade on the liftgate glass. This feature allows
the FCM to monitor the number of rear wiper motor cycles, as well as to keep the rear wiper relay
energized long enough for the motor to complete its current wipe cycle after the wiper system or
the ignition has been turned OFF, and to park the wiper blade in the lowest portion of the wipe
pattern.
The rear wiper motor is grounded at all times through a take out with an eyelet terminal connector
in the body wire harness that is secured to a ground location in the passenger compartment. The
automatic resetting circuit breaker protects the motor from overloads. The rear wiper motor
transmission converts the rotary output of the wiper motor to the back and forth wiping motion of
the rear wiper arm and blade on the liftgate glass.
The hard wired inputs and outputs of the rear wiper motor may be diagnosed using conventional
diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information. However,
conventional diagnostic methods may not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the rear wiper motor,
the EMIC, the FCM, the heater-A/C control, the CAN data bus or the electronic communication
between these modules. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the rear
wiper motor, the EMIC, the FCM, the heater-A/C control, the CAN data bus or the electronic
communication related to rear wiper motor operation requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool.
Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Wiper Motor: Description and Operation Module-Windshield Wiper
Description
DESCRIPTION
The front wiper module is secured with screws through four rubber grommet-type insulators (4) to
the cowl plenum panel and the left front fender ledge. The module is located in the rear of the
engine compartment where it is concealed beneath the molded plastic cowl plenum cover/grille
panel between the base of the windshield and the rear edge of the hood panel. The ends of the
pivot shafts protruding through openings in the cowl plenum cover/grille panel are the only visible
components of the wiper module. The wiper module consists of the following major components:
- Bracket (5) - The wiper module bracket is a single die cast aluminum unit that includes provisions
for mounting the wiper motor and wiper pivots as well as for the for rubber insulators used in
mounting the bracket to the vehicle.
- Crank Arm (6) - The wiper motor crank arm is a stamped steel unit with an internally splined hole
on the driven end that is secured to the wiper motor output shaft with a nut, and has a long ball
stud secured to the drive end to accept the wiper linkage.
- Linkage (3) - The two wiper linkage members are each constructed of stamped steel. A driver
side drive link with a plastic socket-type bushing in the left end, and a plastic sleeve-type bushing in
the right end. The socket bushing is snap-fit over the pivot ball stud on the left pivot lever arm,
while the sleeve bushing is fit over the longer pivot stud on the wiper motor crank arm. The
passenger side drive link has a plastic socket-type bushing on each end. One end of this drive link
is snap-fit over the ball stud on the right pivot lever arm, while the other end is snap-fit over the top
of the driver side drive link on the ball stud of the wiper motor crank arm.
Motor (7) - The wiper motor is secured on the underside of the module bracket near the center with
three screws. The wiper motor output shaft passes through a hole in the module bracket, where a
nut secures the wiper motor crank arm to the motor output shaft. The two-speed permanent
magnet wiper motor features an integral transmission, an internal park switch, and an internal
Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) circuit breaker.
- Pivots (1 and 2) - This module features two driven pivots (2) and one drone pivot (1) for the
articulating link of the right wiper arm. The two driven wiper pivot shafts have lever arms with ball
studs at their base to accept the wiper linkage. The upper end of all three pivot shafts has a
threaded stud with a tapered and serrated area just below the threads to accept the left wiper arm
or the right wiper arm links.
The front wiper module cannot be adjusted or repaired. The front wiper motor is available for
separate service replacement. If any other component of the module is ineffective or damaged, the
entire front wiper module unit must be replaced.
Operation
OPERATION
The front wiper module operation is controlled by the battery current inputs received by the wiper
motor through the wiper on/off and wiper high/low relays. The wiper motor speed is controlled by
current flow to either the low speed or the high speed set of brushes. The park switch is a single
pole, single throw, momentary switch within the wiper motor that is mechanically actuated by the
wiper motor transmission components. The park switch alternately opens and closes the wiper park
switch sense circuit to ground, depending upon the position of the wipers on the glass. This feature
allows the motor to complete its current wipe cycle after the wiper system has been turned OFF,
and to park the wiper blades in the lowest portion of the wipe pattern. The automatic resetting
circuit breaker protects the motor from overloads.
The wiper motor crank arm, the two wiper linkage members, and the two driven wiper pivots
mechanically convert the rotary output of the wiper motor to the back and forth wiping motion of the
wiper arms and blades on the glass. The drone pivot provides an anchor point for the articulating
link of the right wiper arm.

Wiper Relay: Description and Operation Relay-Wiper High/Low
Description
DESCRIPTION
The wiper high/low relay is a conventional International Standards Organization (ISO) micro relay.
Relays conforming to the ISO specifications have common physical dimensions, current capacities,
terminal patterns, and terminal functions. This relay is contained within a small, rectangular,
molded plastic housing and is connected to all of the required inputs and outputs through five
integral male spade-type terminals that extend from the relay base plate.
The wiper high/low relay is located in the Power Distribution Center (PDC) in the engine
compartment near the battery. Refer to the layout label on the underside of the PDC cover for
specific relay cavity assignment information. The wiper high/low relay cannot be adjusted or
repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, the unit must be replaced.
Operation
OPERATION
The wiper high/low relay is an electromechanical switch that uses a low current input from the Front
Control Module (FCM) to control a high current output to the front wiper motor. The movable
common feed contact point is held against the fixed normally closed contact point by spring
pressure. When the relay coil is energized, an electromagnetic field is produced by the coil
windings. This electromagnetic field draws the movable relay contact point away from the fixed
normally closed contact point, and holds it against the fixed normally open contact point. When the
relay coil is de-energized, spring pressure returns the movable contact point back against the fixed
normally closed contact point. A resistor is connected in parallel with the relay coil in the relay, and
helps to dissipate voltage spikes and electromagnetic interference that can be generated as the
electromagnetic field of the relay coil collapses.
The wiper high/low relay terminals are connected to the vehicle electrical system through a
connector receptacle in the Power Distribution Center (PDC). The inputs and outputs of the wiper
high/low relay include:
Common Feed Terminal - The common feed terminal (30) is connected to the output of the wiper
on/off relay at all times through the wiper on/off relay output circuit.
- Coil Ground Terminal - The coil ground terminal (85) is connected to a control output of the Front
Control Module (FCM) through a wiper high/low relay control circuit. The FCM controls wiper motor
operation by controlling a ground path through this circuit.
- Coil Battery Terminal - The coil battery terminal (86) receives battery current when the ignition
switch is in the On or Accessory positions from a fuse in the PDC through a fused ignition switch
output (run-acc) circuit.
- Normally Open Terminal - The normally open terminal (87) is connected to the high speed brush
of the wiper motor through a wiper high/low relay high speed output circuit, and is connected to the
high speed brush whenever the relay is energized.
- Normally Closed Terminal - The normally closed terminal (87A) is connected to the low speed
brush of the wiper motor through a wiper high/low relay low speed output circuit, and is connected
to the low speed brush whenever the relay is de-energized.
The wiper high/low relay as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the relay may be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information.
