DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (Continued)
n the Diagnosis and Testing section of Group 8C -harging System for more information.
PERATIONThe starting system components form two separate
ircuits. A high-amperage feed circuit that feeds thetarter motor between 150 and 350 amperes, and aow-amperage control circuit that operates on lesshan 20 amperes. The high-amperage feed circuitomponents include the battery, the battery cables,he contact disc portion of the starter solenoid, andhe starter motor. The low-amperage control circuitomponents include the ignition switch, the clutchedal position switch (manual transmission), theark/neutral position switch (automatic transmis-ion), the starter relay, the electromagnetic windingsf the starter solenoid, and the connecting wire har-ess components.If the vehicle is equipped with a manual transmis-
ion, it has a clutch pedal position switch installed ineries between the ignition switch and the coil bat-ery terminal of the starter relay. This normally openwitch prevents the starter relay from being ener-ized when the ignition switch is turned to theomentary Start position, unless the clutch pedal is
epressed. This feature prevents starter motor oper-tion while the clutch disc and the flywheel arengaged. The starter relay coil ground terminal islways grounded on vehicles with a manual trans-ission.If the vehicle is equipped with an automatic trans-ission, battery voltage is supplied through the low-
mperage control circuit to the coil battery terminalf the starter relay when the ignition switch isurned to the momentary Start position. The park/eutral position switch is installed in series betweenhe starter relay coil ground terminal and ground.his normally open switch prevents the starter relay
rom being energized and the starter motor fromperating unless the automatic transmission gearelector is in the Neutral or Park positions.When the starter relay coil is energized, the nor-ally open relay contacts close. The relay contacts
onnect the relay common feed terminal to the relayormally open terminal. The closed relay contactsnergize the starter solenoid coil windings.The energized solenoid pull-in coil pulls in the sole-
oid plunger. The solenoid plunger pulls the shiftever in the starter motor. This engages the starterverrunning clutch and pinion gear with the startering gear on the manual transmission flywheel or onhe automatic transmission torque converter drivelate.As the solenoid plunger reaches the end of its
ravel, the solenoid contact disc completes the high-mperage starter feed circuit and energizes the sole-
noid plunger hold-in coil. Current now flows betweenthe solenoid battery terminal and the starter motor,energizing the starter.
Once the engine starts, the overrunning clutch pro-tects the starter motor from damage by allowing thestarter pinion gear to spin faster than the pinionshaft. When the driver releases the ignition switch tothe On position, the starter relay coil is de-energized.This causes the relay contacts to open. When therelay contacts open, the starter solenoid plungerhold-in coil is de-energized.
When the solenoid plunger hold-in coil is de-ener-gized, the solenoid plunger return spring returns theplunger to its relaxed position. This causes the con-tact disc to open the starter feed circuit, and the shiftlever to disengage the overrunning clutch and piniongear from the starter ring gear.
Following are general descriptions of the majorcomponents in the starting system.
STARTER MOTOR
DESCRIPTIONThe starter motors used for both the 2.5L and the
4.0L engines available in this model are not inter-changeable. Both starter motors are mounted withtwo screws, but the 2.5L starter motor is mounted tothe right rear corner of the engine block, while the4.0L starter motor is mounted to the manual trans-mission clutch housing or automatic transmissiontorque converter housing on the right side of theengine.
Each of these starter motors incorporates severalof the same features to create a reliable, efficient,compact, lightweight and powerful unit. The electricmotors of both starters have four brushes contactingthe motor commutator. The 2.5L starter motor usesfour permanent magnets for the field poles, while the4.0L starter motor features four electromagnetic fieldcoils wound around four pole shoes. The 2.5L startermotor is rated at 1.2 kilowatts (about 1.6 horse-power) output at 12 volts, while the 4.0L startermotor is rated at 1.4 kilowatts (about 1.9 horse-power) output at 12 volts.
Both of these starter motors are serviced only as aunit with their starter solenoids, and cannot berepaired. If either component is faulty or damaged,the entire starter motor and starter solenoid unitmust be replaced.
OPERATIONThese starter motors are equipped with a plane-
tary gear reduction (intermediate transmission) sys-tem. The planetary gear reduction system consists ofa gear that is integral to the output end of the elec-tric motor armature shaft that is in continual

ngagement with a larger gear that is splined to thenput end of the starter pinion gear shaft. This fea-ure makes it possible to reduce the dimensions ofhe starter. At the same time, it allows higher arma-ure rotational speed and delivers increased torquehrough the starter pinion gear to the starter ringear.The starter motors for both engines are activated
y an integral heavy duty starter solenoid switchounted to the overrunning clutch housing. This
lectromechanical switch connects and disconnectshe feed of battery voltage to the starter motor andctuates a shift fork that engages and disengages thetarter pinion gear with the starter ring gear.Both starter motors use an overrunning clutch and
tarter pinion gear unit to engage and drive a startering gear that is integral to the flywheel (manualransmission) or torque converter drive plate (auto-atic transmission) mounted on the rear crankshaft
lange. Shims are available and can be used to adjusthe 2.5L starter motor mounting position to corrector improper starter pinion gear to starter ring gearngagement.
TARTER RELAY
ESCRIPTIONThe starter relay is an electromechanical device
hat switches battery current to the pull-in coil of thetarter solenoid when the ignition switch is turned tohe Start position. The starter relay is located in theower Distribution Center (PDC), in the engine com-artment. See the fuse and relay layout label affixedo the inside surface of the PDC cover for starterelay identification and location.The starter relay is a International Standardsrganization (ISO) relay. Relays conforming to the
SO specifications have common physical dimensions,urrent capacities, terminal patterns, and terminalunctions.
The starter relay cannot be repaired or adjustednd, if faulty or damaged, it must be replaced.
PERATIONThe ISO relay consists of an electromagnetic coil, a
esistor or diode, and three (two fixed and one mov-ble) electrical contacts. The movable (common feed)
relay contact is held against one of the fixed contacts(normally closed) by spring pressure. When the elec-tromagnetic coil is energized, it draws the movablecontact away from the normally closed fixed contact,and holds it against the other (normally open) fixedcontact.
When the electromagnetic coil is de-energized,spring pressure returns the movable contact to thenormally closed position. The resistor or diode is con-nected in parallel with the electromagnetic coil in therelay, and helps to dissipate voltage spikes that areproduced when the coil is de-energized.

HARGING SYSTEM OPERATIONThe charging system consists of:• Generator• Electronic Voltage Regulator (EVR) circuitryithin the Powertrain Control Module (PCM)• Ignition switch (refer to Group 8D, Ignition Sys-
em for information)• Battery (refer to Group 8A, Battery for informa-
ion)• Battery temperature sensor• Generator Lamp (if equipped)• Check Gauges Lamp (if equipped)• Voltmeter (refer to Group 8E, Instrument Panel
nd Gauges for information)• Wiring harness and connections (refer to Group
W, Wiring for information)The charging system is turned on and off with the
gnition switch. The system is on when the engine isunning and the ASD relay is energized. When theSD relay is on, voltage is supplied to the ASD relayense circuit at the PCM. This voltage is connectedhrough the PCM and supplied to one of the genera-or field terminals (Gen. Source +) at the back of theenerator.The amount of DC current produced by the gener-
tor is controlled by the EVR (field control) circuitryontained within the PCM. This circuitry is con-ected in series with the second rotor field terminalnd ground.A battery temperature sensor, located in the bat-
ery tray housing, is used to sense battery tempera-ure. This temperature data, along with data fromonitored line voltage, is used by the PCM to vary
ground path to control the strength of the rotor mag-netic field. The PCM then compensates and regulatesgenerator current output accordingly.
All vehicles are equipped with On-Board Diagnos-tics (OBD). All OBD-sensed systems, including EVR(field control) circuitry, are monitored by the PCM.Each monitored circuit is assigned a Diagnostic Trou-ble Code (DTC). The PCM will store a DTC in elec-tronic memory for certain failures it detects. Refer toOn-Board Diagnostics in Group 25, Emission ControlSystem for more DTC information.
The Check Gauges Lamp (if equipped) monitors:charging system voltage, engine coolant tempera-ture and engine oil pressure. If an extreme conditionis indicated, the lamp will be illuminated. This isdone as reminder to check the three gauges. The sig-nal to activate the lamp is sent via the CCD bus cir-cuits. The lamp is located on the instrument panel.Refer to Group 8E, Instrument Panel and Gauges foradditional information.
GENERATORThe generator is belt-driven by the engine using a
serpentine type drive belt. It is serviced only as acomplete assembly. If the generator fails for any rea-son, the entire assembly must be replaced.
As the energized rotor begins to rotate within thegenerator, the spinning magnetic field induces a cur-rent into the windings of the stator coil. Once thegenerator begins producing sufficient current, it alsoprovides the current needed to energize the rotor.
The Y type stator winding connections deliver theinduced AC current to 3 positive and 3 negativediodes for rectification. From the diodes, rectified DCcurrent is delivered to the vehicle electrical systemthrough the generator battery terminal.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (Continued)
Although the generators appear the same exter-ally, different generators with different output rat-
ngs are used on this vehicle. Be certain that theeplacement generator has the same output ratingnd part number as the original unit. Refer to Gen-rator Ratings in the Specifications section at theack of this group for amperage ratings and partumbers.Noise emitting from the generator may be caused
y: worn, loose or defective bearings; a loose or defec-ive drive pulley; incorrect, worn, damaged or misad-usted fan drive belt; loose mounting bolts; a
isaligned drive pulley or a defective stator or diode.
ATTERY TEMPERATURE SENSORThe battery temperature sensor is used to deter-ine the battery temperature and control battery
harging rate. This temperature data, along withata from monitored line voltage, is used by the PCMo vary the battery charging rate. System voltage wille higher at colder temperatures and is graduallyeduced at warmer temperatures.
LECTRONIC VOLTAGE REGULATOR
ESCRIPTIONThe Electronic Voltage Regulator (EVR) is not a
eparate component. It is actually a voltage regulat-ng circuit located within the Powertrain Control
odule (PCM). The EVR is not serviced separately. Ifeplacement is necessary, the PCM must be replaced.
PERATIONThe amount of DC current produced by the gener-
tor is controlled by EVR circuitry contained withinhe PCM. This circuitry is connected in series withhe generators second rotor field terminal and itsround.Voltage is regulated by cycling the ground path to
ontrol the strength of the rotor magnetic field. TheVR circuitry monitors system line voltage and bat-
ery temperature (refer to Battery Temperature Sen-or for more information). It then compensates andegulates generator current output accordingly. Alsoefer to Charging System Operation for additionalnformation.

ensor)• Powertrain Control Module (PCM)• Crankshaft Position, Camshaft Position, Throt-
le Position and MAP Sensors

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (Continued)
OTE: Base ignition timing by rotation of distribu-or is not adjustable.
The PCM opens and closes the ignition coil groundircuit to operate the ignition coil. This is done todjust ignition timing, both initial (base) anddvance, and for changing engine operating condi-ions.
The amount of electronic spark advance providedy the PCM is determined by five input factors:ngine coolant temperature, engine rpm, intake man-fold temperature, manifold absolute pressure andhrottle position.
ISTRIBUTORAll engines are equipped with a camshaft drivenechanical distributor containing a shaft driven dis-
ributor rotor. All distributors are equipped with annternal camshaft position (fuel sync) sensor (Fig. 2).his sensor provides fuel injection synchronizationnd cylinder identification.
The distributors on both the 2.5L 4-cylinder andhe 4.0L-6 cylinder engines do not have built in cen-rifugal or vacuum assisted advance. Base ignitioniming and all timing advance is controlled by theowertrain control module (PCM). Because ignitioniming is controlled by the PCM, base ignition tim-ng is not adjustable on any of these engines.
The distributor is locked in place by a fork with alot located on the distributor housing base. The dis-ributor holddown clamp bolt passes through this slothen installed. Because the distributor position is
ocked when installed, its rotational position can note changed. Do not attempt to modify the dis-ributor housing to get distributor rotation.
Fig. 2 Distributor and Camshaft Position Sensor-Typical
Distributor position will have no effect on igni-tion timing. The position of the distributor willdetermine fuel synchronization only.
All distributors contain an internal oil seal thatprevents oil from entering the distributor housing.The seal is not serviceable.
SPARK PLUGSAll engines use resistor type spark plugs. Remove
the spark plugs and examine them for burned elec-trodes and fouled, cracked or broken porcelain insu-lators. Keep plugs arranged in the order in whichthey were removed from the engine. A single plugdisplaying an abnormal condition indicates that aproblem exists in the corresponding cylinder. Replacespark plugs at the intervals recommended in GroupO, Lubrication and Maintenance.
Spark plugs that have low milage may be cleanedand reused if not otherwise defective, carbon or oilfouled. Refer to the Spark Plug Condition section ofthis group.
SPARK PLUG CABLESSpark plug cables are sometimes referred to as sec-
ondary ignition wires. These cables transfer electricalcurrent from the ignition coil(s) and/or distributor, toindividual spark plugs at each cylinder. The resistivespark plug cables are of nonmetallic construction.The cables provide suppression of radio frequencyemissions from the ignition system.
IGNITION COILBattery voltage is supplied to the ignition coil pos-
itive terminal from the ASD relay.The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) opens and
closes the ignition coil ground circuit for ignition coiloperation.
Base ignition timing is not adjustable on anyengine. By controlling the coil ground circuit, thePCM is able to set the base timing and adjust theignition timing advance. This is done to meet chang-ing engine operating conditions.
The ignition coil is not oil filled. The windings areembedded in an epoxy compound. This provides heatand vibration resistance that allows the ignition coilto be mounted on the engine.
AUTOMATIC SHUTDOWN (ASD) RELAYAs one of its functions, the ASD relay will supply
battery voltage to the ignition coil. The ground cir-cuit for the ASD relay is controlled by the PowertrainControl Module (PCM). The PCM regulates ASDrelay operation by switching the ground circuiton-and-off.

Fig. 3 Crankshaft Position Sensor—4.0L 6-Cyl.Engine—Auto. Trans.
Fig. 4 Crankshaft Position Sensor—2.5L 4-Cyl.Engine—Auto. Trans.
Engine speed and crankshaft position are providedthrough the crankshaft position sensor. The sensorgenerates pulses that are the input sent to the pow-ertrain control module (PCM). The PCM interpretsthe sensor input to determine the crankshaft posi-tion. The PCM then uses this position, along withother inputs, to determine injector sequence and igni-tion timing.
The sensor is a hall effect device combined with aninternal magnet. It is also sensitive to steel within acertain distance from it.
SENSOR OPERATIONThe flywheel/drive plate has groups of four notches
at its outer edge. On 4.0L 6-cylinder engines thereare three sets of notches (Fig. 7) or (Fig. 8). On 2.5L4-cylinder engines there are two sets of notches (Fig.6).
The notches cause a pulse to be generated whenthey pass under the sensor. The pulses are the inputto the PCM. For each engine revolution there are twogroups of four pulses generated on 2.5L 4-cylinderengines. There are 3 groups of four pulses generatedon 4.0L 6-cylinder engines.
The trailing edge of the fourth notch, which causesthe pulse, is four degrees before top dead center(TDC) of the corresponding piston.
The engine will not operate if the PCM does notreceive a crankshaft position sensor input.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (Continued)
AMSHAFT POSITION SENSORThe camshaft position sensor is located in the dis-
The sensor contains a hall effect device called async signal generator to generate a fuel sync signal.This sync signal generator detects a rotating pulsering (shutter) on the distributor shaft. The pulse ringrotates 180 degrees through the sync signal genera-tor. Its signal is used in conjunction with the crank-shaft position sensor to differentiate between fuelinjection and spark events. It is also used to synchro-nize the fuel injectors with their respective cylinders.
When the leading edge of the pulse ring (shutter)enters the sync signal generator, the following occurs:The interruption of magnetic field causes the voltageto switch high resulting in a sync signal of approxi-mately 5 volts.
When the trailing edge of the pulse ring (shutter)leaves the sync signal generator, the following occurs:The change of the magnetic field causes the sync sig-nal voltage to switch low to 0 volts.
IGNITION SWITCH AND KEY LOCK CYLINDERThe ignition switch is located on the steering col-
umn. The Key-In-Switch is located in the ignitionswitch module. For electrical diagnosis of the Key-In-Switch, refer to Group 8U, Chime/Buzzer WarningSystems. For removal/installation of either the keylock cylinder or ignition switch, refer to IgnitionSwitch and Key Cylinder in this group.
On vehicles equipped with an automatic transmis-ion, a cable connects an interlock device within theteering column assembly to the transmission floorhift lever. This interlock device is used to lock theransmission shifter in the PARK position when theey is in the LOCKED or ACCESSORY position. Thenterlock device is not serviceable. If repair is neces-ary, the steering column assembly must be replaced.efer to Group 19, Steering for procedures.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING (Continued)
If the ignition coil is being replaced, the secondarypark plug cable must also be checked. Replace cablef it has been burned or damaged.
Arcing at the tower will carbonize the cable boot,hich if it is connected to a new ignition coil, will
ause the coil to fail.If the secondary coil cable shows any signs of dam-
ge, it should be replaced with a new cable and newerminal. Carbon tracking on the old cable can causercing and the failure of a new ignition coil.
ISTRIBUTOR CAPRemove the distributor cap and wipe it clean withdry lint free cloth. Visually inspect the cap for
racks, carbon paths, broken towers or damagedotor button (Fig. 11) or (Fig. 12). Also check forhite deposits on the inside (caused by condensationntering the cap through cracks). Replace any caphat displays charred or eroded terminals. Theachined surface of a terminal end (faces toward
otor) will indicate some evidence of erosion fromormal operation. Examine the terminal ends for evi-ence of mechanical interference with the rotor tip.
ISTRIBUTOR ROTORVisually inspect the rotor (Fig. 13) for cracks, evi-
ence of corrosion or the effects of arcing on theetal tip. Also check for evidence of mechanical
nterference with the cap. Some charring is normaln the end of the metal tip. The silicone-dielectric-arnish-compound applied to the rotor tip for radionterference noise suppression, will appear charred.his is normal. Do not remove the charred com-ound. Test the spring for insufficient tension.eplace a rotor that displays any of these adverseonditions.

(c) Check for continuity between the ground cir-cuit wire at the distributor connector and ground.If continuity is not present, repair the harness asnecessary.(11) While observing the voltmeter, crank the
engine with ignition switch. The voltmeter needleshould fluctuate between 0 and 5 volts while theengine is cranking. This verifies that the camshaftposition sensor in the distributor is operating prop-erly and a sync pulse signal is being generated.
If sync pulse signal is not present, replacement ofthe camshaft position sensor is necessary
SPARK PLUG CABLESCheck the spark plug cable connections for good
contact at the coil(s), distributor cap towers, andspark plugs. Terminals should be fully seated. Theinsulators should be in good condition and should fittightly on the coil, distributor and spark plugs. Sparkplug cables with insulators that are cracked or tornmust be replaced.
Clean high voltage ignition cables with a clothmoistened with a non-flammable solvent. Wipe thecables dry. Check for brittle or cracked insulation.
TESTINGWhen testing secondary cables for damage with an
oscilloscope, follow the instructions of the equipmentmanufacturer.
If an oscilloscope is not available, spark plug cablesmay be tested as follows:
CAUTION: Do not leave any one spark plug cabledisconnected for longer than necessary during test-ing. This may cause possible heat damage to thecatalytic converter. Total test time must not exceed
ten minutes.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING (Continued)
With the engine running, remove spark plug cablerom spark plug (one at a time) and hold next to aood engine ground. If the cable and spark plug aren good condition, the engine rpm should drop andhe engine will run poorly. If engine rpm does notrop, the cable and/or spark plug may not be operat-ng properly and should be replaced. Also checkngine cylinder compression.With the engine not running, connect one end of a
est probe to a good ground. Start the engine and runhe other end of the test probe along the entireength of all spark plug cables. If cables are crackedr punctured, there will be a noticeable spark jumprom the damaged area to the test probe. The cableunning from the ignition coil to the distributor capan be checked in the same manner. Cracked, dam-ged or faulty cables should be replaced with resis-ance type cable. This can be identified by the wordsLECTRONIC SUPPRESSION printed on the cable
acket.Use an ohmmeter to test for open circuits, exces-
ive resistance or loose terminals. Remove the dis-ributor cap from the distributor. Do not removeables from cap. Remove cable from spark plug.onnect ohmmeter to spark plug terminal end ofable and to corresponding electrode in distributorap. Resistance should be 250 to 1000 Ohms per inchf cable. If not, remove cable from distributor capower and connect ohmmeter to the terminal ends ofable. If resistance is not within specifications asound in the SPARK PLUG CABLE RESISTANCEhart, replace the cable. Test all spark plug cables inhis manner.
To test ignition coil-to-distributor cap cable, do notemove the cable from the cap. Connect ohmmeter tootor button (center contact) of distributor cap anderminal at ignition coil end of cable. If resistance isot within specifications as found in the Spark Plugable Resistance chart, remove the cable from theistributor cap. Connect the ohmmeter to the termi-al ends of the cable.

SPARK PLUG CONDITIONS
NORMAL OPERATINGThe few deposits present on the spark plug will
probably be light tan or slightly gray in color. This isevident with most grades of commercial gasoline(Fig. 15). There will not be evidence of electrodeburning. Gap growth will not average more thanapproximately 0.025 mm (.001 in) per 3200 km (2000miles) of operation. Spark plugs that have normalwear can usually be cleaned, have the electrodesfiled, have the gap set and then be installed.
Some fuel refiners in several areas of the UnitedStates have introduced a manganese additive (MMT)for unleaded fuel. During combustion, fuel with MMTcauses the entire tip of the spark plug to be coatedwith a rust colored deposit. This rust color can bemisdiagnosed as being caused by coolant in the com-bustion chamber. Spark plug performance may beaffected by MMT deposits.
COLD FOULING/CARBON FOULINGCold fouling is sometimes referred to as carbon
fouling. The deposits that cause cold fouling are basi-cally carbon (Fig. 15). A dry, black deposit on one ortwo plugs in a set may be caused by sticking valvesor defective spark plug cables. Cold (carbon) foulingof the entire set of spark plugs may be caused by aclogged air cleaner element or repeated short operat-

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING (Continued)
ET FOULING OR GAS FOULINGA spark plug coated with excessive wet fuel or oil
s wet fouled. In older engines, worn piston rings,eaking valve guide seals or excessive cylinder wearan cause wet fouling. In new or recently overhauledngines, wet fouling may occur before break-in (nor-al oil control) is achieved. This condition can usu-
lly be resolved by cleaning and reinstalling theouled plugs.
IL OR ASH ENCRUSTEDIf one or more spark plugs are oil or oil ash
ncrusted (Fig. 16), evaluate engine condition for theause of oil entry into that particular combustionhamber.
LECTRODE GAP BRIDGINGElectrode gap bridging may be traced to loose
eposits in the combustion chamber. These depositsccumulate on the spark plugs during continuoustop-and-go driving. When the engine is suddenlyubjected to a high torque load, deposits partially liq-efy and bridge the gap between electrodes (Fig. 17).his short circuits the electrodes. Spark plugs withlectrode gap bridging can be cleaned using standardrocedures.
Fig. 16 Oil or Ash Encrusted
SCAVENGER DEPOSITSFuel scavenger deposits may be either white or yel-
low (Fig. 18). They may appear to be harmful, butthis is a normal condition caused by chemical addi-tives in certain fuels. These additives are designed tochange the chemical nature of deposits and decreasespark plug misfire tendencies. Notice that accumula-tion on the ground electrode and shell area may beheavy, but the deposits are easily removed. Sparkplugs with scavenger deposits can be considered nor-mal in condition and can be cleaned using standardprocedures.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING (Continued)
HIPPED ELECTRODE INSULATORA chipped electrode insulator usually results from
ending the center electrode while adjusting thepark plug electrode gap. Under certain conditions,evere detonation can also separate the insulatorrom the center electrode (Fig. 19). Spark plugs withhis condition must be replaced.
REIGNITION DAMAGEPreignition damage is usually caused by excessive
ombustion chamber temperature. The center elec-rode dissolves first and the ground electrode dis-olves somewhat latter (Fig. 20). Insulators appearelatively deposit free. Determine if the spark plugas the correct heat range rating for the engine.etermine if ignition timing is over advanced or ifther operating conditions are causing engine over-eating. (The heat range rating refers to the operat-
ng temperature of a particular type spark plug.park plugs are designed to operate within specificemperature ranges. This depends upon the thick-ess and length of the center electrodes porcelain
nsulator.)
PARK PLUG OVERHEATINGOverheating is indicated by a white or gray center
lectrode insulator that also appears blistered (Fig.1). The increase in electrode gap will be consider-bly in excess of 0.001 inch per 2000 miles of opera-ion. This suggests that a plug with a cooler heatange rating should be used. Over advanced ignitioniming, detonation and cooling system malfunctionsan also cause spark plug overheating.

LUG CLEANINGThe plugs may be cleaned using commercially
vailable spark plug cleaning equipment. After clean-ng, file the center electrode flat with a small pointile or jewelers file before adjusting gap.
AUTION: Never use a motorized wire wheel brusho clean the spark plugs. Metallic deposits willemain on the spark plug insulator and will causelug misfire.
LUG GAP ADJUSTMENTCheck the spark plug gap with a gap gauge tool. If
he gap is not correct, adjust it by bending theround electrode (Fig. 23). Never attempt to adjusthe gap by bending the center electrode.

Factory replacement distributors are equipped withplastic alignment pin already installed. The pin is
ocated in an access hole on the bottom of the distrib-tor housing (Fig. 30). It is used to temporarily lockhe rotor to the cylinder number 1 position duringnstallation. The pin must be removed after install-ng the distributor.
The camshaft position sensor is located in the dis-ributor on all engines (Fig. 31). For removal/instal-ation procedures, refer to Camshaft Position Sensor.istributor removal is not necessary for sensor
emoval.Refer to (Fig. 31) for an exploded view of the dis-
ributor.A fork with a slot is supplied on the bottom of the
istributor housing where the housing base seatsgainst the engine block (Fig. 31). The centerline ofhe slot aligns with the distributor holddown boltole in the engine block. Because of the fork, the dis-ributor cannot be rotated. Distributor rotation is notecessary as all ignition timing requirements areandled by the powertrain control module (PCM).The position of the distributor determines fuel syn-
hronization only. It does not determine ignition tim-ng.

The instrument panel is designed toouse the controls and monitors for standard andptional powertrains, climate control systems, audioystems, lighting systems, safety systems and manyther comfort or convenience items. The instrumentanel is also designed so that all of the various con-rols can be safely reached and the monitors can beasily viewed by the vehicle operator when driving,hile still allowing relative ease of access to each of
hese items for service. See the owner’s manual inhe vehicle glove box for more information on the fea-ures, use and operation of all of the instrumentanel components and systems.This group is responsible for covering service infor-ation for the vehicle instrument panel systems.owever, complete service information coverage forll of the systems and components housed in thenstrument panel in a single section of the service

The instrument cluster circuitry also integrates achime tone generator and a timer circuit. Theseitems replace the chime or buzzer module, and theseparate timer circuit for the rear window defoggersystem. Refer to Chime Warning System in theDescription and Operation section of Group 8U -Chime/Buzzer Warning Systems for more informationon the chime functions of the instrument cluster.Refer to Rear Window Defogger System in theDescription and Operation section of Group 8N -Electrically Heated Systems for more information onthe timer function of the instrument cluster.
The instrument cluster for this model is servicedonly as a complete unit. If a cluster gauge or thecluster circuit board are faulty, the entire clustermust be replaced. The cluster lens, the cluster hoodand mask, the rear cluster housing cover, the odom-eter reset knob boot and the incandescent lamp bulbsand holders are available for service replacement.
OPERATION
GAUGEWith the ignition switch in the On or Start posi-
tions, voltage is supplied to all gauges through theinstrument cluster electronic circuit board. With theignition switch in the Off position, voltage is not sup-plied to the gauges. The gauges do not accuratelyindicate any vehicle condition unless the ignitionswitch is in the On or Start positions.
All of the instrument cluster gauges, except theodometer, are air core magnetic units. Two fixed elec-tromagnetic coils are located within the gauge. Thesecoils are wrapped at right angles to each otheraround a movable permanent magnet. The movablemagnet is suspended within the coils on one end of ashaft. The gauge needle is attached to the other endof the shaft.
One of the coils has a fixed current flowingthrough it to maintain a constant magnetic fieldstrength. Current flow through the second coilchanges, which causes changes in its magnetic fieldstrength. The current flowing through the second coilis changed by the instrument cluster electronic cir-cuitry in response to messages received on theChrysler Collision Detection (CCD) data bus network.
The gauge needle moves as the movable permanentmagnet aligns itself to the changing magnetic fieldscreated around it by the electromagnets. The instru-ment cluster circuitry is programmed to move all ofthe gauge needles back to the low end of their respec-

ive scales after the ignition switch is turned to theff position.
NDICATOR LAMPIndicator lamps are located in the instrument clus-
er and are served by the cluster circuit board andonnectors. Many of the indicator lamps in thenstrument cluster are controlled by the instrumentluster circuitry in response to messages receivedver the Chrysler Collision Detection (CCD) data busetwork.The anti-lock brake system lamp, brake warning
amp, four-wheel drive indicator lamp, headlampigh beam indicator lamp, and turn signal indicator
amps are hard wired. The seat belt reminder lamp isontrolled by the instrument cluster programming.he instrument cluster circuitry uses CCD data busessages from the Powertrain Control Module
PCM), Airbag Control Module (ACM), and the Sen-ry Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM) to control all ofhe remaining indicator lamps.
Each of the indicator lamps in the instrument clus-er uses incandescent bulbs and holders, which arevailable for service replacement.
LUSTER ILLUMINATION LAMPThe cluster illumination lamps are hard wired in
he instrument cluster. When the park or head lampsre turned on, the cluster illumination lamps light.llumination brightness is adjusted by rotating theeadlamp switch knob (clockwise to dim, counter-lockwise to brighten). The instrument cluster illumi-ation lamps receive battery feed from the panelimmer rheostat in the headlamp switch through ause in the fuseblock module.
The instrument cluster electronic circuitry alsoonitors the cluster illumination lamp dimming levelhenever the park or head lamps are turned on. The
nstrument cluster electronic circuitry responds bydjusting the dimming level of the odometer Vacuumluorescent Display (VFD), and sending dimming
evel messages over the Chrysler Collision DetectionCCD) data bus network. When the park lamps oreadlamps are turned off, the VFD is illuminated atull brightness for improved daylight visibility.
Each of the cluster illumination lamps is located onhe instrument cluster circuit board. Each clusterllumination lamp has a replaceable bulb and bulbolder.
NSTRUMENT PANEL CIGAR LIGHTER ANDOWER OUTLET
ESCRIPTIONAn accessory power outlet is standard equipment
n this model. The power outlet is installed in the
instrument panel accessory switch bezel, which islocated near the bottom of the instrument panel cen-ter bezel area, next to the ash receiver. A plastic capsnaps into the power outlet base when the power out-let is not in use. A cigar lighter that fits into thepower outlet is a dealer-installed option.
The cigar lighter/power outlet base is serviced onlyas a part of the accessory switch bezel unit. If thebase is faulty or damaged, the accessory switch bezelunit must be replaced. The cigar lighter knob andheating element unit is available for service. Thiscomponent cannot be repaired and, if faulty or dam-aged, it must be replaced.
OPERATIONThe cigar lighter/power outlet base or receptacle
shell is connected to ground, and an insulated con-tact in the bottom of the shell is connected to batterycurrent. The power outlet receives battery voltagefrom a fuse in the Power Distribution Center (PDC)through the accessory relay only when the ignitionswitch is in the Accessory or On positions. Refer toAccessory Relay in the Description and Operationsection of this group for more information on thiscomponent.
The cigar lighter knob and heating element areencased within a spring-loaded housing, which alsofeatures a sliding protective heat shield. When theknob and heating element are inserted in the recep-tacle shell, the heating element resistor coil isgrounded through its housing to the receptacle shell.If the cigar lighter knob is pushed inward, the heatshield slides up toward the knob exposing the heat-ing element, and the heating element extends fromthe housing toward the insulated contact in the bot-tom of the receptacle shell.
Two small spring-clip retainers are located oneither side of the insulated contact inside the bottomof the receptacle shell. These clips engage and holdthe heating element of the dealer-installed cigarlighter against the insulated contact long enough forthe resistor coil to heat up. When the heating ele-ment is engaged with the contact, battery currentcan flow through the resistor coil to ground, causingthe resistor coil to heat.
When the resistor coil becomes sufficiently heated,excess heat radiates from the heating element caus-ing the spring-clips to expand. Once the spring-clipsexpand far enough to release the heating element,the spring-loaded housing forces the knob and heat-ing element to pop back outward to their relaxedposition. When the cigar lighter knob and elementare pulled out of the receptacle shell, the protectiveheat shield slides downward on the housing so thatthe heating element is recessed and shielded aroundits circumference for safety.

CCESSORY RELAY
ESCRIPTIONThe accessory relay is an electromechanical device
hat switches fused battery current to the standardccessory power outlet or optional cigar lighter whenhe ignition switch is turned to the Accessory or Onositions. The accessory relay is located in a wirearness connector that is secured to the 100-way con-ector bracket under the driver side of the instru-ent panel, near the cowl side inner panel in the
assenger compartment.The accessory relay is a International Standardsrganization (ISO) relay. Relays conforming to the
SO specifications have common physical dimensions,urrent capacities, terminal patterns, and terminalunctions.
The accessory relay cannot be repaired or adjustednd, if faulty or damaged, it must be replaced.
PERATIONThe ISO relay consists of an electromagnetic coil, a
esistor or diode, and three (two fixed and one mov-ble) electrical contacts. The movable (common feed)elay contact is held against one of the fixed contactsnormally closed) by spring pressure. When the elec-romagnetic coil is energized, it draws the movableontact away from the normally closed fixed contact,nd holds it against the other (normally open) fixedontact.When the electromagnetic coil is de-energized,
pring pressure returns the movable contact to theormally closed position. The resistor or diode is con-ected in parallel with the electromagnetic coil in theelay, and helps to dissipate voltage spikes that areroduced when the coil is de-energized.

CTUATOR TESTThe instrument cluster actuator test will put the
nstrument cluster into its self-diagnostic mode. Inhis mode the instrument cluster can perform a self-iagnostic test that will confirm that the instrumentluster circuitry, the gauges, and the CCD data busessage controlled indicator lamps are capable of
perating as designed. During the actuator test thenstrument cluster circuitry will position each of theauge needles at various specified calibration points,nd turn all of the CCD data bus message-controlledamps on and off at specified time intervals (Fig. 1).
Successful completion of the actuator test will con-irm that the instrument cluster is operational. How-ver, there may still be a problem with the CCD dataus, the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), the Air-ag Control Module (ACM), the Sentry Key Immobi-izer Module (SKIM) or the inputs to one of theselectronic control modules. Use a DRB scan tool andhe proper Diagnostic Procedures manual for testingf these components.If an individual gauge does not respond properly,
r does not respond at all during the actuator test,he instrument cluster should be removed. However,heck that the gauge mounting screws on the instru-ent cluster electronic circuit board for proper tight-ess before considering instrument clustereplacement. If the gauge mounting screws checkK, replace the faulty cluster.If an individual indicator lamp does not illuminate
uring the actuator test, the instrument clusterhould be removed. However, check that the incan-escent lamp bulb is not faulty and that the bulbolder is properly installed on the instrument clusterlectronic circuit board before considering instrumentluster replacement. If the bulb and bulb holderheck OK, replace the faulty instrument cluster.
(1) Begin the test with the ignition switch in theOff position.
(2) Depress the trip odometer reset button.(3) While holding the trip odometer reset button
depressed, turn the ignition switch to the On posi-tion, but do not start the engine.
(4) Release the trip odometer reset button.(5) Compare the operation of the suspect gauge(s)
and/or indicator lamp(s) with the Instrument ClusterActuator Test chart (Fig. 1).
(6) The instrument cluster will automatically exitthe self-diagnostic mode and return to normal opera-tion at the completion of the test, if the ignitionswitch is turned to the Off position during the test,or if a vehicle speed message indicating that thevehicle is moving is received from the PCM on theCCD data bus during the test.
(7) Go back to Step 1 to repeat the test, ifrequired.

NTRODUCTIONAn audio system is standard factory-installed
quipment on this model, unless the vehicle isrdered with an available radio delete option. Refero 8W-47 - Audio System in Group 8W - Wiring Dia-rams for complete circuit descriptions and diagrams.
ESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
ADIOAvailable factory-installed radio receivers for thisodel include an AM/FM (RAL sales code), and anM/FM/cassette (RAS sales code). All factory-in-talled radio receivers are stereo Electronicallyuned Radios (ETR), and include an electronic digitallock function.The radio can only be serviced by an authorized
adio repair station. Refer to the latest Warranty Pol-cies and Procedures manual for a current listing ofuthorized radio repair stations.For more information on radio features, setting
rocedures, and control functions refer to the owner’sanual in the vehicle glove box.
GNITION-OFF DRAW FUSEAll vehicles are equipped with an Ignition-Offraw (IOD) fuse that is removed when the vehicle is
hipped from the factory. This fuse feeds variousccessories that require battery current when thegnition switch is in the Off position, including thelock and radio station preset memory functions. Theuse is removed to prevent battery discharge duringehicle storage.
When removing or installing the IOD fuse, it isimportant that the ignition switch be in the Off posi-tion. Failure to place the ignition switch in the Offposition can cause the radio display to become scram-bled when the IOD fuse is removed and replaced.Removing and replacing the IOD fuse again, with theignition switch in the Off position, will correct thescrambled display condition.
The IOD fuse should be checked if the radio isinoperative. The IOD fuse is located in the PowerDistribution Center (PDC). Refer to the PDC label forIOD fuse identification and location.
SPEAKERThe standard equipment speaker system includes
two full-range speakers. Each speaker is mountedbehind a removable bezel located on the outboardends of the lower instrument panel.
The sound bar option adds two full-range speakersto the standard speaker system, for a total of fourspeakers. Each of the additional speakers is mountedbehind a grille located on the outboard ends of thesound bar, which is attached from side-to-side to thesport bar above the rear seating area of the vehicle.
ANTENNAAll models use a fixed-length stainless steel rod-
type antenna mast, installed on the right front cowlside panel of the vehicle. The antenna mast is con-nected to the center wire of the coaxial antennacable, and is not grounded to any part of the vehicle.
To eliminate static, the antenna base must have agood ground. The antenna coaxial cable shield (the

uter wire mesh of the cable) is grounded to thentenna base and the radio chassis.The antenna coaxial cable has an additional dis-
onnect, located behind the right end of the instru-ent panel between the radio and the right cowl side
anel. This additional disconnect allows the instru-ent panel assembly to be removed and installedithout removing the radio.The factory-installed Electronically Tuned Radios
ETRs) automatically compensate for radio antennarim. Therefore, no antenna trimmer adjustment isequired or possible when replacing the receiver orhe antenna.
ADIO NOISE SUPPRESSION
ESCRIPTIONRadio Frequency Interference (RFI) and Electro-agnetic Interference (EMI) noise suppression is
ccomplished primarily through circuitry internal tohe radio receivers. These internal suppressionevices are only serviced as part of the radio receiver.External suppression devices that are used on this
ehicle to control RFI or EMI noise include the fol-owing:
• Radio antenna base ground
• Radio receiver chassis ground wire or strap• Engine-to-body ground strap• Engine-to-frame ground strap• Resistor-type spark plugs• Radio suppression-type secondary ignition wir-
ing.For more information on the spark plugs and sec-
ondary ignition components, refer to Ignition Sys-tem in the Description and Operation section ofGroup 8D - Ignition System.

NSTRUMENT PANEL COMPONENT DIAGNOSIS ORERVICE. FAILURE TO TAKE THE PROPER PRE-AUTIONS COULD RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL AIR-AG DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL
NJURY.
The following four tests are used to diagnose thentenna with an ohmmeter:• Test 1 - Mast to ground test• Test 2 - Tip-of-mast to tip-of-conductor test• Test 3 - Body ground to battery ground test• Test 4 - Body ground to coaxial shield test.The ohmmeter test lead connections for each test
re shown in Antenna Tests (Fig. 1).
OTE: This model has a two-piece antenna coaxialable. Tests 2 and 4 must be conducted in twoteps to isolate a coaxial cable problem; from theoaxial cable connection under the right end of thenstrument panel near the right cowl side inneranel to the antenna base, and then from the coax-
al cable connection to the radio chassis connec-ion.
EST 1Test 1 determines if the antenna mast is insulated
rom the base. Proceed as follows:(1) Unplug the antenna coaxial cable connector
rom the radio chassis and isolate.
Fig. 1 Antenna Tests
(2) Connect one ohmmeter test lead to the tip ofthe antenna mast. Connect the other test lead to theantenna base. Check for continuity.
(3) There should be no continuity. If continuity isfound, replace the faulty or damaged antenna baseand cable assembly.
TEST 2Test 2 checks the antenna for an open circuit as
follows:(1) Unplug the antenna coaxial cable connector
from the radio chassis.(2) Connect one ohmmeter test lead to the tip of
the antenna mast. Connect the other test lead to thecenter pin of the antenna coaxial cable connector.
(3) Continuity should exist (the ohmmeter shouldonly register a fraction of an ohm). High or infiniteresistance indicates damage to the base and cableassembly. Replace the faulty base and cable, ifrequired.
TEST 3Test 3 checks the condition of the vehicle body
ground connection. This test should be performedwith the battery positive cable removed from the bat-tery. Disconnect both battery cables, the negativecable first. Reconnect the battery negative cable andperform the test as follows:
(1) Connect one ohmmeter test lead to the vehiclefender. Connect the other test lead to the batterynegative post.
(2) The resistance should be less than one ohm.(3) If the resistance is more than one ohm, check
the braided ground strap connected to the engine andthe vehicle body for being loose, corroded, or dam-aged. Repair the ground strap connection, if required.
TEST 4Test 4 checks the condition of the ground between
the antenna base and the vehicle body as follows:(1) Connect one ohmmeter test lead to the vehicle
fender. Connect the other test lead to the outer crimpon the antenna coaxial cable connector.
(2) The resistance should be less then one ohm.(3) If the resistance is more then one ohm, clean
and/or tighten the antenna base to fender mountinghardware.

For complete circuit diagrams, see Group 8W -iring Diagrams. Inspect the ground paths and con-
ections at the following locations:• Blower motor• Electric fuel pump• Engine-to-body ground strap• Engine-to-frame ground strap• Generator• Ignition module• Radio antenna base ground• Radio receiver chassis ground wire or strap• Wiper motor.If the source of RFI or EMI noise is identified as a
omponent on the vehicle (i.e., generator, blowerotor, etc.), the ground path for that component
hould be checked. If excessive resistance is found inny ground circuit, clean, tighten, or repair theround circuits or connections to ground as requiredefore considering any component replacement.For service and inspection of secondary ignition
omponents, refer to the Diagnosis and Testing sec-ion of Group 8D - Ignition Systems. Inspect the fol-owing secondary ignition system components:
• Distributor cap and rotor• Ignition coil• Spark plugs• Spark plug wire routing and condition.Reroute the spark plug wires or replace the faulty
omponents as required.If the source of the RFI or EMI noise is identified
s two-way mobile radio or telephone equipment,heck the equipment installation for the following:• Power connections should be made directly to
he battery, and fused as closely to the battery asossible.• The antenna should be mounted on the roof or
oward the rear of the vehicle. Remember that mag-etic antenna mounts on the roof panel can adverselyffect the operation of an overhead console compass,f the vehicle is so equipped.
• The antenna cable should be fully shielded coax-al cable, should be as short as is practical, andhould be routed away from the factory-installedehicle wire harnesses whenever possible.
• The antenna and cable must be carefullymatched to ensure a low Standing Wave Ratio(SWR).
Fleet vehicles are available with an extra-cost RFI-suppressed Powertrain Control Module (PCM). Thisunit reduces interference generated by the PCM onsome radio frequencies used in two-way radio com-munications. However, this unit will not resolve com-plaints of RFI in the commercial AM or FM radiofrequency ranges.

ESCRIPTIONA dual-note electric horn system is standard facto-
y-installed equipment on this model. The standardquipment horn system features a one low-note hornnit and one high-note horn unit. The horn systemses a non-switched source of battery current so thathe system will remain functional, regardless of thegnition switch position. The horn system includeshe following components:
• Clockspring• Horn(s)• Horn relay• Horn switchRefer to Clockspring in the Description and Oper-
tion section of Group 8M - Passive Restraint Sys-ems for more information on this component. Refero Horn/Cigar Lighter in the Contents of Group 8WWiring Diagrams for complete circuit diagrams. Fol-
owing are general descriptions of the remainingajor components in the horn system.
PERATIONThe horn system is activated by a horn switch con-
ealed beneath the driver side airbag module trimover in the center of the steering wheel. Depressinghe center of the driver side airbag module trim coverloses the horn switch. Closing the horn switch acti-ates the horn relay. The activated horn relay thenwitches the battery current needed to energize theorns.Refer to the owner’s manual in the vehicle glove
ox for more information on the features, use andperation of the horn system.
are standard equipment on this model. Each horn issecured with a bracket to the left front inner fendershield just ahead of the left front wheel house in theengine compartment. The two horn brackets aremounted in the same location, one on top of theother. The high-note horn for the optional dual-notehorn system is connected in parallel with andsecured with a bracket just forward of the low-notehorn.
The two horns are connected in parallel. Each hornis grounded through its wire harness connector andcircuit to an eyelet secured to the engine compart-ment side of the grille/headlamp mounting panelnear the left headlamp, and receives battery feedthrough the closed contacts of the horn relay.
The horns cannot be repaired or adjusted and, iffaulty or damaged, they must be individuallyreplaced.
OPERATIONWithin the two halves of the molded plastic horn
housing are a flexible diaphragm, a plunger, an elec-tromagnetic coil and a set of contact points. The dia-phragm is secured in suspension around itsperimeter by the mating surfaces of the horn hous-ing. The plunger is secured to the center of the dia-phragm and extends into the center of theelectromagnet. The contact points control the currentflow through the electromagnet.
When the horn is energized, electrical currentflows through the closed contact points to the electro-magnet. The resulting electromagnetic field drawsthe plunger and diaphragm toward it until thatmovement mechanically opens the contact points.When the contact points open, the electromagnetic

hrough the horn outlet.
ORN RELAY
ESCRIPTIONThe horn relay is a electromechanical device that
witches battery current to the horn when the hornwitch grounds the relay coil. The horn relay isocated in the Power Distribution Center (PDC) inhe engine compartment. If a problem is encounteredith a continuously sounding horn, it can usually beuickly resolved by removing the horn relay from theDC until further diagnosis is completed. See the
use and relay layout label affixed to the inside sur-ace of the PDC cover for horn relay identificationnd location.The horn relay is a International Standards Orga-
ization (ISO) micro-relay. Relays conforming to theSO specifications have common physical dimensions,urrent capacities, terminal patterns, and terminalunctions. The ISO micro-relay terminal functionsre the same as a conventional ISO relay. However,he ISO micro-relay terminal pattern (or footprint) isifferent, the current capacity is lower, and the phys-cal dimensions are smaller than those of the conven-ional ISO relay.
The horn relay cannot be repaired or adjusted and,f faulty or damaged, it must be replaced.
PERATIONThe ISO relay consists of an electromagnetic coil, a
esistor or diode, and three (two fixed and one mov-ble) electrical contacts. The movable (common feed)elay contact is held against one of the fixed contactsnormally closed) by spring pressure. When the elec-romagnetic coil is energized, it draws the movableontact away from the normally closed fixed contact,nd holds it against the other (normally open) fixedontact.When the electromagnetic coil is de-energized,
pring pressure returns the movable contact to theormally closed position. The resistor or diode is con-ected in parallel with the electromagnetic coil in theelay, and helps to dissipate voltage spikes that areroduced when the coil is de-energized.
ype horn switch is secured with heat stakes to the
back side of the driver side airbag module trim coverin the center of the steering wheel (Fig. 1). Theswitch consists of two plastic membranes, one that isflat and one that is slightly convex. These two mem-branes are secured to each other around the perime-ter. Inside the switch, the centers of the facingsurfaces of these membranes each has a grid madewith an electrically conductive material applied to it.One of the grids is connected to a circuit that pro-vides it with continuity to ground at all times. Thegrid of the other membrane is connected to the hornrelay control circuit.
The steering wheel and steering column must beproperly grounded in order for the horn switch tofunction properly. The horn switch is only serviced asa part of the driver side airbag module trim cover. Ifthe horn switch is damaged or faulty, or if the driverside airbag is deployed, the driver side airbag moduletrim cover and horn switch must be replaced as aunit.
OPERATIONWhen the center area of the driver side airbag trim
cover is depressed, the electrically conductive gridson the facing surfaces of the horn switch membranescontact each other, closing the switch circuit. Thecompleted horn switch circuit provides a ground forthe control coil side of the horn relay, which activatesthe relay. When the horn switch is released, theresistive tension of the convex membrane separatesthe two electrically conductive grids and opens theswitch circuit.

PEED CONTROL SERVOThe servo unit consists of a solenoid valve body, a
acuum servo and the mounting bracket. The Power-rain Control Module (PCM) controls the solenoidalve body. The solenoid valve body controls thepplication and release of vacuum to the diaphragmf the vacuum servo. A cable connects the servo withhe throttle linkage. The servo unit cannot beepaired and is serviced only as a complete assembly.
PEED CONTROL SOLENOID CIRCUITSWhen all of the speed control parameters are met,
nd the SET button is pressed, the PCM actuates theent solenoid and “duty-cycles” the vacuum solenoido open the throttle and bring the vehicle up to tar-et speed. When the vehicle is at target speed, it willctuate the vent solenoid with the vacuum solenoide-activated to maintain the vehicle at target speed.hen the vehicle is above target speed, the PCM will
duty-cycle” the vent solenoid with the vacuum sole-oid still de-activated to close the throttle to returno target speed.
PEED CONTROL SWITCHESTwo separate speed control switch modules areounted on the steering wheel to the left and right
ide of the driver’s airbag module. Within the twowitch modules, five momentary contact switches,upporting seven different speed control functions
are used. The outputs from these switches are fil-tered into one input. The Powertrain Control Module(PCM) determines which output has been appliedthrough resistive multiplexing. The input circuitvoltage is measured by the PCM to determine whichswitch function has been selected.
A speed control indicator lamp, located on theinstrument panel cluster is energized by the PCM viathe CCD Bus. This occurs when speed control systempower has been turned ON, and the engine is run-ning.
The two switch modules are labeled: ON/OFF, SET,RESUME/ACCEL, CANCEL and COAST. Refer tothe owner’s manual for more information on speedcontrol switch functions and setting procedures. Theindividual switches cannot be repaired. If one indi-vidual switch fails, the switch module must bereplaced.
STOP LAMP SWITCHVehicles equipped with the speed control option use
a dual function stop lamp switch. The switch ismounted on the brake pedal mounting bracket underthe instrument panel. The PCM monitors the state ofthe dual function stop lamp switch. Refer to theBrake section for more information on stop lampswitch service and adjustment procedures.

hrottle control linkage to open or close the throttlealve in response to movement of the vacuum servoiaphragm.
OWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULEThe speed control electronic control circuitry is
ntegrated into the Powertrain Control ModulePCM). The PCM is located in the engine compart-ent. The PCM speed control functions are moni-
ored by the On-Board Diagnostics (OBD). All OBD-ensed systems are monitored by the PCM. Eachonitored circuit is assigned a Diagnostic Troubleode (DTC). The PCM will store a DTC in electronicemory for certain failures it detects. See On-Boardiagnostic Test For Speed Control System in thisroup for more information. The PCM cannot beepaired and must be replaced if faulty.
ACUUM RESERVOIRA vacuum reservoir is used to supply the vacuum
eeded to maintain proper speed control operationhen engine vacuum drops, such as in climbing arade while driving. A one-way check valve is used inhe vacuum line between the reservoir and the vac-um source. This check valve is used to trap engineacuum in the reservoir. On certain vehicle applica-ions, this reservoir is shared with the heating/air-onditioning system. The vacuum reservoir cannot beepaired and must be replaced if faulty.
EHICLE SPEED SENSORThe Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) is a pulse genera-
or mounted to an adapter near the transmission out-ut shaft. The sensor is driven through the adaptery a speedometer pinion gear. The VSS pulse signalo the speedometer/odometer is monitored by theCM speed control circuitry to determine vehiclepeed and to maintain speed control set speed.
IAGNOSIS AND TESTING
OAD TESTPerform a vehicle road test to verify reports of
peed control system malfunction. The road testhould include attention to the speedometer. Speed-meter operation should be smooth and without flut-er at all speeds.
Flutter in the speedometer indicates a problemhich might cause surging in the speed control sys-
em. The cause of any speedometer problems shoulde corrected before proceeding. Refer to Group 8E,nstrument Panel and Gauges for speedometer diag-osis.If a road test verifies a system problem and the
peedometer operates properly, check for:
• A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC). If a DTCexists, conduct tests per the Powertrain DiagnosticProcedures service manual.
• A misadjusted brake (stop) lamp switch. Thiscould also cause an intermittent problem.
• Loose, damaged or corroded electrical connec-tions at the servo. Corrosion should be removed fromelectrical terminals and a light coating of MoparMultiPurpose Grease, or equivalent, applied.
• Leaking vacuum reservoir.• Loose or leaking vacuum hoses or connections.• Defective one-way vacuum check valve.• Secure attachment of both ends of the speed con-
trol servo cable.• Smooth operation of throttle linkage and throttle
body air valve.• Failed speed control servo. Do the servo vacuum
test.
CAUTION: When test probing for voltage or conti-nuity at electrical connectors, care must be takennot to damage connector, terminals or seals. Ifthese components are damaged, intermittent orcomplete system failure may occur.
ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC TEST FOR SPEEDCONTROL SYSTEM
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitorscritical input and output circuits of the speed controlsystem, making sure they are operational. A Diagnos-tic Trouble Code (DTC) is assigned to each input andoutput circuit monitored by the On-Board Diagnostic(OBD) system. Some circuits are checked continu-ously and some are checked only under certain con-ditions.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING (Continued)
ACUUM SUPPLY TEST(1) Disconnect vacuum hose at speed control servo
nd install a vacuum gauge into the disconnectedose.(2) Start engine and observe gauge at idle. Vac-
um gauge should read at least ten inches of mer-ury.(3) If vacuum is less than ten inches of mercury,
etermine source of leak. Check vacuum line tongine for leaks. Also check actual engine intakeanifold vacuum. If manifold vacuum does not meet
his requirement, check for poor engine performancend repair as necessary.(4) If vacuum line to engine is not leaking, check
or leak at vacuum reservoir. To locate and gainccess to reservoir, refer to Vacuum Reservoir Remov-l/Installation in this group. Disconnect vacuum linet reservoir and connect a hand-operated vacuumump to reservoir fitting. Apply vacuum. Reservoiracuum should not bleed off. If vacuum is being lost,eplace reservoir.(5) Verify operation of one-way check valve and
heck it for leaks.(a) Locate one-way check valve. The valve is
located in vacuum line between vacuum reservoirand engine vacuum source. Disconnect vacuumhoses (lines) at each end of valve.
(b) Connect a hand-operated vacuum pump toreservoir end of check valve. Apply vacuum. Vac-uum should not bleed off. If vacuum is being lost,replace one-way check valve.
(c) Connect a hand-operated vacuum pump tovacuum source end of check valve. Apply vacuum.Vacuum should flow through valve. If vacuum isnot flowing, replace one-way check valve. Seal thefitting at opposite end of valve with a finger andapply vacuum. If vacuum will not hold, diaphragmwithin check valve has ruptured. Replace valve.
PEED CONTROL SERVOFor complete speed control system diagnosis, refer
o the appropriate Powertrain Diagnostic Proceduresanual. To test the speed control servo only, refer to
he following:The engine must be started and running for the
ollowing voltage tests.(1) Start engine.(2) Disconnect 4–way electrical connector at servo.(3) Turn speed control switch to ON position.(4) Check for battery voltage at pin–3 of wiring
arness 4–way connector (Fig. 1). This is the 12 volteed from the stoplamp switch. When the brake pedals depressed, voltage should not be present at pin–3.f voltage is not present with brake pedal notepressed, check for continuity between servo and
stop lamp switch. Also check stop lamp switchadjustment. Refer to Group 5, Brakes for procedures.
(5) Connect a small gauge jumper wire betweenthe disconnected servo harness 4–way connectorpin–3, and pin–3 on the servo. Check for battery volt-age at pins–1, 2 and 4 of the servo. If battery voltageis not at these pins, replace the servo.
(6) Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Check forcontinuity between disconnected servo harness4–way connector pin–4 and a good ground. Thereshould be continuity. If not OK, repair open circuit toground as required.
OVERSHOOT/UNDERSHOOT FOLLOWINGSPEED CONTROL SET
If the operator repeatedly presses and releases theset button with their foot off of the accelerator (a “liftfoot set” to begin speed control operation), the vehiclemay accelerate and exceed the desired set speed byup to 5 MPH (8 km/h) and then decelerate to lessthan the desired set speed before finally achievingthe desired set speed.
The Speed Control has an adaptive strategy thatcompensates for vehicle-to-vehicle variations in speedcontrol cable lengths. When the speed control is setwith the vehicle operators foot off of the acceleratorpedal, the speed control thinks there is excessivespeed control cable slack and adapts. If the lift footsets are continually used, the speed control over-shoot/undershoot condition will develop.
To “unlearn” the overshoot/undershoot condition,the vehicle operator has to press and release the setbutton while maintaining the desired set speed withthe accelerator pedal (not decelerating or accelerat-ing), and then turn the cruise control switch to the

ESCRIPTIONA turn signal system is standard factory-installed
afety equipment on this model. The turn signal sys-em uses ignition switched battery current, and willperate only when the ignition switch is in the On orccessory positions. The turn signal system includes
he following components:• Combination flasher• Front side marker lamps• Turn signal cancelling cam• Turn signal indicator lamps• Turn signal lamps• Turn signal switch.Refer to Lamp in the proper section of Group 8L -
amps for more information on the exterior turn sig-al lamps. Refer to Instrument Cluster in theroper section of Group 8E - Instrument Panel Sys-ems for more information on the turn signal indica-or lamps. Following are general descriptions of theajor components in the turn signal system. For
omplete circuit diagrams, refer to Turn Signals inhe Contents of Group 8W - Wiring Diagrams.
PERATIONWith the ignition switch in the On or Accessory
osition, and the turn signal (multi-function) switchontrol stalk moved up (right turn) or down (lefturn), the turn signal system is activated. When theurn signal system is activated, the circuitry of theurn signal switch and the combination flasher willause the selected (right or left) turn signal indicatoramp, front park/turn signal lamp, front side markeramp and rear tail/stop/turn signal lamp to flash on
and off. If the exterior lamps are turned off, the frontpark/turn signal lamp and the front side markerlamp will flash in unison. If the exterior lamps areturned on, the front park/turn signal lamp and thefront side marker lamp will flash alternately.

URN SIGNAL SWITCH AND HAZARDARNING SWITCH
ESCRIPTIONThe turn signal and hazard warning switches are
ntegral to the multi-function switch unit, which isecured to the left side of the steering column (Fig.). The only visible parts of the multi-function switchre the control stalk that extends from the left sidef the steering column, and the hazard warningwitch button that protrudes from the top of theteering column. The multi-function switch controltalk has international control symbols on it, whichdentify its functions. The hazard warning switchutton is identified with a double triangle, which ishe international control symbol for hazard warning.he remainder of the multi-function switch is con-ealed beneath the steering column shrouds.The multi-function switch also contains circuitry
or the following functions:• Headlamp beam selection• Headlamp optical horn
Fig. 1 Multi-Function Switch
The information contained in this group addressesonly the multi-function switch turn signal and haz-ard warning functions. For information relative tothe other systems that are controlled by and circuitsthat are integral to the multi-function switch, see thegroup in this service manual that covers that system.However, the turn signal and hazard warningswitches cannot be repaired. If these switches or anyother circuit or component of the multi-functionswitch unit is faulty or damaged, the entire multi-function switch unit must be replaced.
OPERATION
TURN SIGNAL SWITCHThe multi-function switch control stalk that
extends from the left side of the steering column justbelow the steering wheel is moved up or down toactivate the turn signal switch. When the controlstalk is moved in the upward direction, the rightturn signal switch circuitry is activated; and, whenthe control stalk is moved in the downward direction,the left turn signal switch circuitry is activated. Theturn signal switch has a detent position in eachdirection that provides turn signals with automaticcancellation, and an intermediate momentary posi-tion in each direction that provides turn signals onlyuntil the multi-function switch control stalk isreleased.
When the turn signal switch is in a detent posi-tion, it is turned off by one of two turn signal cancel-ling cam lobes that are integral to the rotor of theclockspring mechanism. Turning the steering wheelcauses the turn signal cancelling cam lobes to contacta cancel actuator in the multi-function switch, andthe turn signal switch automatically returns to theoff position.
HAZARD WARNING SWITCHThe hazard warning switch is controlled by the
hazard warning switch button. Slide the switch but-ton to the left to turn the switch on and activate thehazard warning system, and slide the button to theright again to turn the switch and the hazard warn-ing system off.
TURN SIGNAL CANCELLING CAM
DESCRIPTIONThe turn signal cancelling cam is concealed within
the steering column below the steering wheel. Theturn signal cancelling cam consists of two lobes thatare integral to the lower surface of the clockspringrotor. The clockspring mechanism provides turn sig-nal cancellation as well as a constant electrical con-nection between the horn switch, driver side airbag

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (Continued)
odule and speed control switches on the steeringheel and the instrument panel wire harness on the
teering column. The housing of the clockspring isecured to the steering column and remains station-ry. The rotor of the clockspring, including the turnignal cancelling cam lobes rotate with the steeringheel.The turn signal cancelling cam is integral to the
lockspring and cannot be repaired. If faulty or dam-ged, the entire clockspring assembly must beeplaced. Refer to Clockspring in the Removal andnstallation section of Group 8M - Passive Restraintystems for the clockspring service procedures.
PERATIONThe turn signal cancelling cam has two lobesolded into the lower surface of the clockspring
otor. When the turn signals are activated by movinghe multi-function switch control stalk to a detentosition, a turn signal cancel actuator is extendedrom the inside surface of the multi-function switchousing toward the clockspring rotor. When theteering wheel is rotated during the turn, one of thewo turn signal cancelling cam lobes will contact theurn signal cancel actuator, releasing the multi-func-ion switch control stalk from its detent and cancel-ing the turn signal event.
OMBINATION FLASHER
ESCRIPTIONThe combination flasher is a smart relay that func-
ions as both the turn signal system and the hazardarning system flasher. The combination flasher con-
ains active electronic Integrated Circuitry (IC) ele-ents. This flasher is designed to handle the current
low requirements of the factory-installed lighting. Ifupplemental lighting is added to the turn signalamp circuits, such as when towing a trailer withights, the combination flasher will automatically tryo compensate to keep the flash rate the same.
While the combination flasher has a Internationaltandards Organization (ISO)-type relay terminalonfiguration or footprint, the internal circuitry isuch different. The combination flasher does not use
tandard ISO-relay inputs or provide ISO-relay typeutputs or functions. The combination flasher shouldever be substituted for an ISO-relay or replacedith an ISO-relay, or else component and vehicleamage may occur.Because of the active electronic elements within
he combination flasher, it cannot be tested with con-entional automotive electrical test equipment. If theombination flasher is believed to be faulty, test theurn signal system and hazard warning system cir-uits as described in this group. Then replace the
combination flasher with a known good unit to con-firm system operation.
The combination flasher has five blade-type termi-nals intended for the following inputs and outputs:fused B(+), fused ignition switch output, ground, turnsignal circuit, and hazard warning circuit. Constantbattery voltage and ground are supplied to theflasher so that it can perform the hazard warningfunction, and ignition switched battery voltage issupplied for the turn signal function. Refer to TurnSignals in the Contents of Group 8W - Wiring Dia-grams for complete circuit diagrams.
The combination flasher is located in a bracketsecured with a screw to the underside of the uppersteering column support bracket, to the right of thesteering column under the instrument panel. Thecombination flasher cannot be repaired or adjustedand, if faulty or damaged, it must be replaced.
OPERATIONThe IC within the combination flasher (Fig. 2) con-
tains the logic that controls the flasher operation andthe flash rate. Pin 6 of the IC receives a sense volt-age from the hazard warning circuit of the multi-function switch. When the hazard warning switch isturned on, the 9hazard on sense9 voltage will becomelow due to the circuit being grounded through theturn signal bulbs. This low voltage sense signals theIC to energize the flash control Positive-Negative-Positive (PNP) transistor at a pre-calibrated flashrate or frequency. Each time the PNP transistor ener-gizes the hazard warning circuit, the pin 6 9hazardon sense9 voltage will become high and the IC signalsthe PNP transistor to de-energize the circuit. Thiscycling will continue until the hazard warning switchis turned off.

8J - 4 TURN SIGNAL AND HAZARD WARNING SYSTEMS TJ
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (Continued)
Likewise, pin 8 of the IC receives a sense voltagerom the turn signal circuits of the multi-functionwitch. When the left or right turn signal switch isurned on, the 9turn signal on sense9 voltage willecome low due to the circuit being groundedhrough the turn signal bulbs. This low voltage senseignals the IC to energize the flash control PNP tran-istor at a pre-calibrated flash rate or frequency.ach time the PNP transistor energizes the turn sig-al circuit, the pin 8 9turn signal on sense9 voltageill become high and the IC signals the PNP transis-
or to de-energize the circuit. This cycling will con-inue until the right or left turn signal switch isurned off.
A special design feature of the combination flasherllows it to 9sense9 that a turn signal circuit or bulbs not operating, and provide the driver an indicationf the condition by flashing the remaining bulbs inhe affected circuit at a higher rate (120 flashes-per-inute or higher). Conventional flashers either con-
inue flashing at their typical rate (heavy-duty type),r discontinue flashing the affected circuit entirelystandard-duty type). During turn signal operation,he combination flasher IC compares normal batteryoltage input on pin 2 with the shunt resistor voltagenput on pin 7. If the IC 9senses9 that the voltage dif-erence between pin 2 and pin 7 is different than there-calibrated value of the IC, it will increase theate at which it signals the PNP transistor to ener-ize the pin 1 output. Thus, the inoperative half (leftr right side) of the turn signal circuit will flashaster.
IAGNOSIS AND TESTING
URN SIGNAL AND HAZARD WARNINGYSTEMSWhen diagnosing the turn signal or hazard warn-
ng circuits, remember that high generator outputan burn out bulbs rapidly and repeatedly. If this is aroblem on the vehicle being diagnosed, refer toharging System in the Diagnosis and Testing sec-
ion of Group 8C - Charging System for further diag-osis of a possible generator overcharging condition.If the problem being diagnosed is related to a fail-
re of the turn signals to automatically cancel follow-ng completion of a turn, inspect the multi-functionwitch for a faulty or damaged cancel actuator andnspect the turn signal cancelling cam lobes on thelockspring mechanism for damage or impropernstallation.

ESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
INDSHIELD WIPER SYSTEMA two-speed windshield wiper system is standard
quipment on this model. An intermittent windshieldiper system is optional. The standard system lets
he driver select from two wiper speeds, low or high.he intermittent wiper system adds an intermittentipe delay feature.On models equipped with the intermittent wiper
ystem, the intermittent wipe mode delay times areriver adjustable from about one second to about fif-een seconds. The intermittent wipe mode is providedy delay logic and relay control circuitry containedithin the intermittent wiper/washer switch. The
ntermittent wipe relay is also contained within thewitch.The windshield wipers will operate only when the
gnition switch is in the Accessory or On positions. Ause located in the fuseblock module protects the cir-uitry of either windshield wiper system. Refer to thewner’s manual for more information on the wind-hield wiper system controls and operation.
WINDSHIELD WASHER SYSTEMAn electrically operated windshield washer system
is standard equipment. A washer reservoir in theengine compartment holds the washer fluid, which ispressurized by a pump when the windshield washerswitch lever is actuated. The windshield washerpump feeds the pressurized washer fluid through thewasher system plumbing to the windshield washernozzles.
If the vehicle is equipped with the two-speed wipersystem and the wipers are not already turned onwhen the washers are activated, the wiper switchwill be turned on to the low speed position automat-ically. The wipers must be turned off manually fol-lowing a washer switch activation. If the vehicle isequipped with the intermittent wipe system and thewipers are not turned on when the washers are acti-vated, the wipers will be automatically cycled for oneor two wipes, then be turned off.
The washers will operate only when the ignitionswitch is in the Accessory or On positions. A fuselocated in the fuseblock module protects the circuitryof the washer system. Refer to the owner’s manualfor more information on the windshield washer sys-tem controls and operation.
REAR WIPER AND WASHER SYSTEMA rear wiper and washer system is standard equip-
ment on models equipped with the optional hardtop.The rear wiper system provides the following operat-ing modes:
• Continuous fixed-cycle wipe.• A rear washer mode.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (Continued)
• A park mode that operates the wiper motor untilhe blade reaches its park position when the reariper switch is placed in the Off position.A single switch in the instrument panel accessory
witch bezel controls both the rear wiper and washerunctions. The rear washer system shares the reser-oir of the windshield washer system, but has itswn dedicated washer pump and plumbing.The rear wiper and washer systems will operate
nly when the ignition switch is in the On position. Ause in the fuseblock module protects the circuitry ofoth the rear wiper and washer systems.Refer to the owner’s manual for more information
n the rear wiper and washer system controls andperation.
IPER ARM AND BLADEAll models have two 33.02-centimeter (13-inch)indshield wiper blades with non-replaceable rubberlements (squeegees). The rear wiper uses a single5.72-centimeter (18-inch) wiper blade with a non-re-laceable rubber element (squeegee).Caution should be exercised to protect the rubber
queegees from any petroleum-based cleaners or con-aminants, which will rapidly deteriorate the rubber.f the squeegees are damaged, worn, or contami-ated, the entire wiper blade assembly must beeplaced.Wiper squeegees exposed to the elements for a long
ime tend to lose their wiping effectiveness. Periodicleaning of the squeegees is suggested to removeeposits of salt and road film. The wiper blades,rms, and windshield or rear liftglass should beleaned with a sponge or cloth and windshieldasher fluid, a mild detergent, or a non-abrasive
leaner. If the squeegees continue to streak or smear,he wiper blades should be replaced.
The blades are mounted to spring-loaded wiperrms. The spring tension of the wiper arms controlshe pressure applied to the blades on the glass. Theindshield wiper arms are secured by an integral
atch to the two wiper pivots on the cowl plenum cov-r/grille panel at the base of the windshield. The reariper arm is secured by an integral latch directly to
he rear wiper motor output shaft on the liftglass.The wiper arms and blades cannot be adjusted or
epaired. If faulty or damaged, they must beeplaced.
IPER LINKAGE AND PIVOTThe wiper linkage and pivot module is securedith screws to the cowl plenum panel beneath the
owl plenum cover/grille panel. The wiper motor isecured with screws to the center of the linkage andivot module bracket. The wiper pivots are securedo the ends of the module bracket.
The driver side wiper pivot crank arm and thewiper motor crank arm each have ball studs on theirends. The passenger side crank arm has two ballstuds. A drive link is connected from the motor crankarm ball stud to one ball stud on the passenger sidepivot crank arm. A connecting link is connected fromthe other ball stud on the passenger side pivot crankarm to the driver side pivot crank arm ball stud.
Both the drive link and the connector link have aplastic socket-type bushing on each end. Each of thesocket-type bushings are snap-fit over their respec-tive ball studs.
The wiper linkage, pivots, bushings, motor, crankarm, and mounting bracket are only serviced as acomplete unit. If any part of this assembly except themotor is faulty or damaged, the entire unit must bereplaced. The wiper motor is also available as a sep-arate service item.
WIPER MOTOR
FRONTThe two-speed permanent magnet wiper motor has
an integral transmission and park switch. The motoralso contains an internal automatic resetting circuitbreaker to protect the motor from overloads. Themotor is secured to the wiper linkage and pivot mod-ule bracket with three screws and is protected by arubber boot. The wiper motor output shaft passesthrough a hole in the module bracket, where a nutsecures the wiper motor crank arm to the motor out-put shaft.
Wiper speed is controlled by current flow to theproper set of brushes. The wiper motor completes itswipe cycle when the windshield wiper switch stalk ismoved to the Off position, and parks the blades inthe lowest portion of the wipe pattern.
The windshield wiper motor cannot be repaired. Iffaulty or damaged, the entire wiper motor and bootassembly must be replaced. The wiper linkage andpivots module, which includes the wiper motor, isalso available for service.
REARThe rear wiper motor is secured on the inside of
the liftglass with a slotted bracket that fits onto agrommet under the right liftglass hinge mountingnut. The motor output shaft passes through the lift-glass, where a rubber gasket and a plastic bezel andnut unit seal and secure the output shaft to the out-side of the liftglass. The rear wiper arm is secureddirectly to the motor output shaft.
The rear wiper motor unit contains an internalpark switch. The motor also contains an automaticresetting thermal switch for overload protection.

Modelsith the intermittent wiper system also have a knobn the end of the switch stalk, which is rotated toelect the desired delay interval. The windshieldiper and washer switch contains circuitry for the
ollowing functions:• Windshield wipers• Intermittent wiper delay relay control and logic
if the vehicle is so equipped)• Intermittent wipe relay (if the vehicle is so
quipped)• Windshield washers.The windshield wiper and washer switch cannot be
epaired. If any function of the switch is faulty, or ifhe switch is damaged, the entire switch unit muste replaced.
EARThe single two-function rear wiper and washer
witch is installed in the instrument panel accessorywitch bezel, which is located near the bottom of thenstrument panel center bezel area, next to the asheceiver. The rear wiper and washer switch controlshe rear wiper and washer functions.
The toggle-type switch features a detent in the Onosition, and a momentary Wash position. The reariper and washer switch also has an integral illumi-ation lamp with a serviceable bulb. The switch knob
Fig. 1 Windshield Wiper Switch and Washer Switch
is pushed down to its detent to activate the rearwiper system, and down again to the momentaryposition to activate the rear washer system. Both therear wiper and rear washer motors will operate con-tinuously for as long as the switch is held in themomentary Wash position.
The rear wiper and washer switch cannot berepaired and, if faulty or damaged, the entire switchunit must be replaced.
WASHER RESERVOIRA single washer fluid reservoir is used for both the
front and rear washer systems. The washer fluid res-ervoir is secured to the inner fender shield, over theleft front wheel house in the engine compartment.
Each washer pump and motor unit has a barbednipple, which is installed through a rubber grommetseal inserted in a hole near the bottom of the reser-voir. The washer pumps are retained by an interfer-ence fit between the barbed nipple and the grommetseal, which is a light press fit.
The washer reservoir has a snap-fit filler cap witha rubber gasket. The cap hinges on and is secured toa molded-in hook formation on the reservoir behindthe filler neck.
The washer reservoir and filler cap are each avail-able for service.
WASHER PUMPThe washer pumps and motors are mounted near
the bottom of the washer reservoir. A barbed nippleon the pump housing passes through a rubber grom-met seal installed in a hole near the bottom of thereservoir. The washer pump is retained by an inter-ference fit between the barbed pump nipple and thegrommet seal, which is a light press fit.
A permanently lubricated and sealed motor is cou-pled to a rotor-type pump. Washer fluid is gravity-fedfrom the reservoir to the pump. When the motor isenergized, the pump pressurizes the washer fluidand forces it through the plumbing to the nozzles.
The washer pump and motor unit cannot berepaired. If faulty, the entire washer pump andmotor unit must be replaced.
WASHER NOZZLE AND PLUMBING
FRONTPressurized washer fluid is fed through a single
hose, attached to a barbed nipple on the front washerpump. The hose is routed to a tee fitting located nearthe rear inner hood panel reinforcement. Hoses fromthe tee fitting are routed to the two nozzles.
A check valve is located in the washer supply linenear each of the two front nozzles, which preventswasher fluid drain-back or siphoning from occurring.

ESCRIPTIONA dual front airbag system is standard factory-in-
talled safety equipment on this model. The primaryassenger restraints in this vehicle are the standardquipment factory-installed seat belts, which requirective use by the vehicle occupants. The airbag sys-em is a supplemental passive restraint that wasesigned and is intended to enhance the protectionor the front seat occupants of the vehicle only whensed in conjunction with the seat belts. See the own-r’s manual in the vehicle glove box for more infor-ation on the features, use and operation of all of
he factory-installed passenger restraints, includinghe airbag system.
The dual front airbag system consists of the follow-ng components:
• Airbag Control Module (ACM)• Airbag indicator lamp• Clockspring• Driver and passenger side airbag modules
including the airbag inflators)• Driver and passenger side knee blockers• Passenger side airbag on/off switch• Wire harness and connections.This group provides complete service information
or the ACM, both airbag modules, the clockspring,nd the passenger side airbag on/off switch. Com-
plete service information for the other airbag systemcomponents can be located as follows:
• Refer to Instrument Cluster in the proper sec-tion of Group 8E - Instrument Panel Systems forcomplete service information for the airbag indicatorlamp.
• Refer to Knee Blocker in the Removal andInstallation section of Group 8E - Instrument PanelSystems for complete service information on thedriver side knee blocker.

ignals the inflator units of both airbag modules toeploy the airbags.An airbag indicator lamp in the instrument cluster
ights for about seven seconds as a bulb test, eachime the ignition switch is turned to the On or Startositions. Following the bulb test, the airbag indica-or lamp is turned on or off by the ACM to indicatehe status of the airbag system. If the airbag indica-or lamp comes on at any time other than during theulb test, it indicates that there is a problem in theirbag system circuits. Such a problem may causehe airbags not to deploy when required, or to deployhen not required.The driver side airbag module includes an inflat-
ble airbag and an inflator unit behind a trim covern the hub area of the steering wheel. The passengeride airbag module includes a second inflatable air-ag and an inflator unit behind an airbag door in thenstrument panel above the glove box.
During a frontal vehicle impact, the knee blockersork in concert with properly adjusted seat belts to
estrain the driver and front seat passenger in theroper position for an airbag deployment. The kneelockers also work to absorb and distribute the crashnergy from the driver and front seat passenger tohe structure of the instrument panel. The driveride knee blocker is a stamped metal reinforcementocated behind the instrument panel steering columnpening cover. The passenger side knee blocker isntegral to the glove box door.
Following are general descriptions of the majoromponents in the airbag system.

DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG MODULE
DESCRIPTIONThe driver side airbag module protective trim cover
is the most visible part of the driver side airbag sys-tem. The driver side airbag module is mounteddirectly to the steering wheel. Located under the air-bag module trim cover are the horn switch, thefolded airbag cushion, and the airbag cushion sup-porting components. The resistive membrane-typehorn switch is secured with heat stakes to the insidesurface of the airbag module trim cover, between thetrim cover and the folded airbag cushion.
The driver side airbag module cannot be repaired,and must be replaced if deployed or in any way dam-aged. The driver side airbag module trim cover andthe horn switch are available as a unit for servicereplacement.
OPERATIONThe driver side airbag module includes a stamped
metal housing to which the cushion and an inflatorunit are attached and sealed. The conventional pyro-technic-type inflator assembly is mounted to studs onthe back of the airbag module housing. The inflatorseals the hole in the airbag cushion so it can dis-charge the gas it produces directly into the cushion

hen supplied with the proper electrical signal. Fol-owing an airbag deployment, the airbag cushionuickly deflates by venting this gas towards thenstrument panel through the porous fabric materialsed on the steering wheel side of the airbag cushion.The protective trim cover is fitted to the front of
he airbag module and forms a decorative cover inhe center of the steering wheel. The inside of therim cover has locking blocks molded into it thatngage a lip on the airbag module metal housing.wo stamped metal retainers then fit over the infla-or mounting studs on the back of the airbag moduleousing and are engaged in slots on the inside of theover, securely locking the trim cover into place. Therim cover will split at predetermined breakout lines,hen fold back out of the way along with the hornwitch upon airbag deployment.
ASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG MODULE
ESCRIPTIONThe passenger side airbag door on the instrument
anel above the glove box is the most visible part ofhe passenger side airbag system. Located under theirbag door are the passenger side airbag cushionnd the airbag cushion supporting components.The passenger side airbag module includes a
tamped metal housing within which the cushion andnflator are mounted and sealed. The airbag housingas three stamped metal mounting brackets spotelded to it. The mounting brackets at the top andt the lower rear of the airbag module secure theodule to the instrument panel armature. The
tamped metal mounting bracket at the lower frontf the housing secures the passenger side airbagodule to two studs on the dash panel, behind the
love box. A plastic end bracket encloses the inboardnd of the housing and retains the wire harness con-ector for the inflator.Following a passenger side airbag deployment, the
assenger side airbag module, the passenger side air-ag door and the instrument panel assembly must beeplaced. The passenger side airbag module cannote repaired, and must be replaced if deployed or inny way damaged. The passenger side airbag door isvailable as a separate service item.
PERATIONThe hybrid-type inflator assembly includes a small
anister of highly compressed argon gas. The inflatoreals the hole in the airbag cushion so it can dis-harge the gas it produces directly into the cushionhen supplied with the proper electrical signal. Fol-
owing an airbag deployment, the airbag cushionuickly deflates by venting this gas through the
porous fabric material used on each end panel of theairbag cushion.
The molded plastic passenger side airbag door issecured to the instrument panel at the upper andlower flanges with screws. A stamped metal bracketlocated on the back side of the airbag door is securedto the instrument panel armature with one screw oneach end, and serves as the hinge for the door uponan airbag deployment. The airbag door has predeter-mined breakout lines concealed beneath its decora-tive cover. Upon airbag deployment, the airbag doorwill split at the breakout lines and the door will foldback over the top of the instrument panel, out of theway.
PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG ON/OFF SWITCH
DESCRIPTIONA passenger side airbag on/off switch, which is
located on the forward end of the floor console (bothfull and mini versions), allows the passenger side air-bag system to be disabled when certain childrestraint devices are being used in the right frontseating position. The passenger side airbag on/offswitch is equipped with a key actuator so that theswitch position can only be changed using an ignitionkey. When the ignition switch is in the On positionand the passenger side airbag system is disabled, aLight-Emitting Diode (LED) illuminates an Off indi-cator lamp on the face plate of the switch.
The passenger side airbag on/off switch cannot beadjusted or repaired and, if faulty or damaged, theswitch assembly must be replaced. The switch bezelis available for service replacement.
OPERATIONTo actuate the passenger side airbag on/off switch,
insert the ignition key in the switch key actuator.The switch key actuator is then rotated with theignition key to its clockwise stop (the key actuatorslot will be aligned with the Off indicator lamp) todisable the passenger side airbag system. When theswitch key actuator is rotated with the ignition keyto its counterclockwise stop (the key actuator slotwill be in a vertical position), the Off indicator lampwill be extinguished and the passenger side airbagsystem will be enabled.
WARNING: THE KEY MUST ALWAYS BE REMOVEDFROM THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG ON/OFFSWITCH KEY ACTUATOR AFTER THE SWITCH HASBEEN USED. NEVER LEAVE A KEY IN THE SWITCHKEY ACTUATOR. FAILURE TO OBSERVE THISWARNING COULD RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL,INCOMPLETE OR IMPROPER AIRBAG DEPLOY-MENT AND POSSIBLE OCCUPANT INJURIES.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (Continued)
IRBAG CONTROL MODULE
ESCRIPTIONThe Airbag Control Module (ACM) is secured with
crews to a mounting bracket that is secured withour screws onto the floor panel transmission tunnelelow the instrument panel and forward of the centerloor console in the passenger compartment of theehicle. The ACM contains an electronic microproces-or, an electronic impact sensor, an electromechanicalafing sensor, and an energy storage capacitor.The ACM is serviced as a unit with the mounting
racket. The ACM cannot be repaired or adjustednd, if damaged or faulty, the ACM and mountingracket unit must be replaced.
PERATIONThe microprocessor in the ACM contains the airbag
ystem logic. The airbag system logic includesn-Board Diagnostics (OBD), and the ability to com-unicate with the instrument cluster circuitry over
he Chrysler Collision Detection (CCD) data bus toontrol the airbag indicator lamp. The microprocessorontinuously monitors all of the airbag system elec-rical circuits to determine the system readiness. Ifhe ACM detects a monitored system fault, it sendsessages to the instrument cluster over the CCD
ata bus to turn on the airbag indicator lamp. Refero Instrument Cluster in the proper section ofroup 8E - Instrument Panel Systems for more infor-ation on the airbag indicator lamp.One electronic impact sensor is used in this airbag
ystem. The impact sensor is an accelerometer thatenses the rate of vehicle deceleration, which pro-ides verification of the direction and severity of anmpact. The impact sensor is calibrated for the spe-ific vehicle, and is only serviced as a unit with theCM. A pre-programmed decision algorithm in theCM microprocessor determines when the decelera-
ion rate as signaled by the impact sensor indicatesn impact that is severe enough to require airbagystem protection. When the programmed conditionsre met, the ACM sends an electrical signal to deployhe airbags.
In addition to the electronic impact sensor, there isn electromechanical sensor within the ACM called aafing sensor. The safing sensor is a normally openeries switch located in the airbag deployment circuitf the ACM. This sensor detects impact energy of aesser magnitude than the electronic impact sensor,nd must be closed in order for the airbags to deploy.The ACM also contains an energy-storage capaci-
or. This capacitor stores enough electrical energy toeploy the airbags for up to one second following aattery disconnect or failure during an impact. Theurpose of the capacitor is to provide airbag system
protection in a severe secondary impact, if the initialimpact has damaged or disconnected the battery, butwas not severe enough to deploy the airbags.
CLOCKSPRING
DESCRIPTIONThe clockspring assembly is secured with two inte-
gral plastic latches onto the steering column lockhousing near the top of the steering column behindthe steering wheel. The clockspring is used to main-tain a continuous electrical circuit between the fixedclockspring wire harness on the steering column andseveral electrical components that rotate with thesteering wheel. The rotating components include thedriver side airbag module, the horn switch and, if thevehicle is so equipped, the vehicle speed controlswitches.
The clockspring cannot be repaired. If the clock-spring is faulty, damaged, or if the driver side airbaghas been deployed, the clockspring must be replaced.
OPERATIONThe clockspring assembly consists of a plastic case
which contains a flat, ribbon-like, electrically conduc-tive tape that winds and unwinds like a clockspringwith the steering wheel rotation. The electrically con-ductive tape consists of several fine gauge copperwire leads sandwiched between two narrow strips ofplastic film.
Like the clockspring in a timepiece, the clockspringtape has travel limits and can be damaged by beingwound too tightly. To prevent this from occurring, theclockspring is centered when it is installed on thesteering column. Centering the clockspring indexesthe clockspring tape to other steering components sothat it can operate within its designed travel limits.However, if the clockspring is removed for service orif the steering column is disconnected from the steer-ing gear allowing the clockspring tape to change posi-tion relative to the other steering components, itmust be re-centered following completion of the ser-vice or it may be damaged. Refer to ClockspringCentering in the Adjustments section of this groupfor the proper centering procedures.
Service replacement clocksprings are shipped pre-centered and with a locking pin installed. This lock-ing pin should not be removed until the clockspringhas been installed on the steering column. If thelocking pin is removed before the clockspring isinstalled on a steering column, the clockspring cen-tering procedure must be performed.

IAGNOSIS AND TESTING
IRBAG SYSTEMA DRB scan tool is required for diagnosis of the
irbag system. See the proper Diagnostic Proceduresanual for more information.(1) Connect the DRB scan tool to the 16-way data
ink wire harness connector. The connector is locatedn the driver side lower edge of the instrumentanel, outboard of the steering column (Fig. 1).
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the On position. Exithe vehicle with the DRB. Be certain that the DRB con-ains the latest version of the proper DRB software.
(3) Using the DRB, read and record the activeiagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) data.(4) Read and record any stored DTC data.(5) See the proper Diagnostic Procedures manual if
ny DTC is found in Step 3 or Step 4.(6) After completing the necessary repairs, try to
rase the stored DTC data. If any problems remain,he stored DTC data will not erase. See the properiagnostic Procedures manual for the procedures toiagnose any stored DTC that will not erase.(7) With the ignition switch still in the On posi-
ion, check to be certain that nobody is in the vehicle.(8) From outside of the vehicle (away from the air-
ags in case of an accidental deployment) turn thegnition switch to the Off position for about ten sec-nds, and then back to the On position. Observe theirbag indicator lamp in the instrument cluster. Ithould light for six to eight seconds, and then go out.his indicates that the airbag system is functioningormally.

NOTE: If the airbag indicator lamp fails to light, orlights and stays on, there is an airbag system mal-function. See the proper Diagnostic Proceduresmanual to diagnose the problem.
SERVICE PROCEDURES
AIRBAG SYSTEM
NON-DEPLOYEDAt no time should any source of electricity be per-
mitted near the inflator on the back of an airbagmodule. When carrying a non-deployed airbag mod-ule, the trim cover or airbag side of the moduleshould be pointed away from the body to minimizeinjury in the event of an accidental deployment. Ifthe module is placed on a bench or any other surface,the trim cover or airbag side of the module should beface up to minimize movement in the event of anaccidental deployment.
In addition, the airbag system should be disarmedwhenever any steering wheel, steering column, orinstrument panel components require diagnosis orservice. Failure to observe this warning could resultin accidental airbag deployment and possible per-sonal injury. Refer to Group 8E - InstrumentPanel Systems for additional service procedures onthe instrument panel components. Refer to Group19 - Steering for additional service procedures onthe steering wheel and steering column components.
DISPOSAL OF NON-DEPLOYED AIRBAG MODULESAll damaged or faulty and non-deployed driver side
or passenger side airbag modules which are replacedon vehicles are to be returned. If an airbag moduleassembly is faulty or damaged and non-deployed,refer to the parts return list in the current ChryslerCorporation Warranty Policies and Procedures man-ual for the proper handling and disposal procedures.
DEPLOYEDAny vehicle which is to be returned to use after an
airbag deployment, must have both airbag modules,the instrument panel assembly, the passenger sideairbag module door and the clockspring replaced.These components will be damaged or weakened as aresult of an airbag deployment, which may or maynot be obvious during a visual inspection, and arenot intended for reuse.
Other vehicle components should be closelyinspected, but are to be replaced only as required bythe extent of the visible damage incurred.

SERVICE PROCEDURES (Continued)
TORAGEAn airbag module must be stored in its original,
pecial container until used for service. Also, it muste stored in a clean, dry environment; away fromources of extreme heat, sparks, and high electricalnergy. Always place or store an airbag module on aurface with its trim cover or airbag side facing up,o minimize movement in case of an accidentaleployment.
LEANUP PROCEDUREFollowing an airbag system deployment, the vehi-
le interior will contain a powdery residue. This res-due consists primarily of harmless particulatey-products of the small pyrotechnic charge used tonitiate the airbag deployment propellant. However,his residue will also contain traces of sodiumydroxide powder, a chemical by-product of the pro-ellant material that is used to generate the nitrogenas that inflates the airbag. Since sodium hydroxideowder can irritate the skin, eyes, nose, or throat, beure to wear safety glasses, rubber gloves, and aong-sleeved shirt during cleanup (Fig. 2).
ARNING: IF YOU EXPERIENCE SKIN IRRITATIONURING CLEANUP, RUN COOL WATER OVER THEFFECTED AREA. ALSO, IF YOU EXPERIENCE
RRITATION OF THE NOSE OR THROAT, EXIT THEEHICLE FOR FRESH AIR UNTIL THE IRRITATIONEASES. IF IRRITATION CONTINUES, SEE A PHYSI-IAN.
Fig. 2 Wear Safety Glasses and Rubber Gloves -Typical
Begin the cleanup by removing the airbag modulesfrom the vehicle. Refer to Driver Side Airbag Mod-ule and Passenger Side Airbag Module in theRemoval and Installation section of this group for theprocedures.
Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any residual pow-der from the vehicle interior. Clean from outside thevehicle and work your way inside, so that you avoidkneeling or sitting on a non-cleaned area.
Be sure to vacuum the heater and air conditioningoutlets as well (Fig. 3). Run the heater and air con-ditioner blower on the lowest speed setting and vac-uum any powder expelled from the outlets. You mayneed to vacuum the interior of the vehicle a secondtime to recover all of the powder.
Place the deployed airbag modules in your vehicu-lar scrap pile.

ADJUSTMENTS
CLOCKSPRING CENTERINGThe clockspring is designed to wind and unwind
when the steering wheel is rotated, but is onlydesigned to rotate the same number of turns (aboutfive complete rotations) as the steering wheel can beturned from stop to stop. Centering the clockspringindexes the clockspring tape to other steering compo-nents so that it can operate within its designedtravel limits. The rotor of a centered clockspring canbe rotated two and one-half turns in either directionfrom the centered position, without damaging theclockspring tape.
However, if the clockspring is removed for serviceor if the steering column is disconnected from thesteering gear, the clockspring tape can change posi-tion relative to the other steering components. Theclockspring must then be re-centered following com-pletion of the service or the clockspring tape may bedamaged.
Service replacement clocksprings are shipped pre-centered and with a locking pin installed. This lock-ing pin should not be removed until the clockspringhas been installed on the steering column. If thelocking pin is removed before the clockspring isinstalled on a steering column, the clockspring cen-tering procedure must be performed.

NTRODUCTIONAn electrically heated rear window defogger is
vailable as factory-installed equipment on modelsquipped with the hardtop option. The defogger willnly operate when the ignition switch is in the Onosition. When the defogger switch is in the On posi-ion, an electric heater grid on the rear window glasss energized. This grid produces heat to help clearhe rear window glass of ice, snow, or fog.
The defogger system is controlled by a switchocated in the accessory switch bezel, which is nearhe bottom of the instrument panel center bezel andext to the ash receiver. An amber indicator lamp inhe switch button will light to indicate when theefogger system is turned on. The instrument clusterircuitry, which contains the defogger system timerogic, monitors the state of the defogger switchhrough a hard-wired input. The instrument clusterircuitry controls the defogger system through aard-wired control output to the defogger relay.The defogger system will be automatically turned
ff after a programmed time interval of about teninutes. After the initial time interval has expired, if
he defogger switch is turned on again during theame ignition cycle, the defogger system will auto-atically turn off after about five minutes.The defogger system will automatically shut off if
he ignition switch is turned to the Off position, or itan be turned off manually by depressing the instru-ent panel switch. Refer to the owner’s manual forore information on the defogger system controls
nd operation.
Following are general descriptions of the majorcomponents in the defogger system. Refer to 8W-48 -Rear Window Defogger in Group 8W - Wiring Dia-grams for complete circuit descriptions and diagrams.
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
REAR GLASS HEATING GRIDThe heated rear window glass has two electrically
conductive vertical bus bars and a series of horizon-tal grid lines made of a silver-ceramic material,which is baked on and bonded to the inside surface ofthe glass. The grid lines and bus bars comprise aparallel electrical circuit.
When the rear window defogger switch is placed inthe On position, electrical current is directed to therear window grid lines through the bus bars. Thegrid lines heat the rear window to clear the surfaceof fog or snow. Protection for the heated grid circuitis provided by a fuse in the Power Distribution Cen-ter (PDC).
The grid lines and bus bars are highly resistant toabrasion. However, it is possible for an open circuitto occur in an individual grid line, resulting in nocurrent flow through the line.
The grid lines can be damaged or scraped off withsharp instruments. Care should be taken when clean-ing the glass or removing foreign materials, decals,or stickers from the glass. Normal glass cleaning sol-vents or hot water used with rags or toweling is rec-ommended.
A repair kit is available to repair the grid lines andbus bars, or to reinstall the heated glass pigtailwires.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (Continued)
EFOGGER SWITCHThe rear window defogger switch is installed in the
nstrument panel accessory switch bezel, which isocated near the bottom of the instrument panel cen-er bezel area, next to the ash receiver. The momen-ary-type switch provides a hard-wired ground signalo the instrument cluster each time it is depressed.he instrument cluster rear window defogger timernd logic circuitry responds by energizing or de-ener-izing the rear window defogger relay.Energizing the rear window defogger relay pro-
ides electrical current to the rear window defoggerrid. An amber indicator lamp in the defogger switch,hich lights to indicate when the defogger system is
urned On, is also powered by the defogger relay out-ut.The defogger switch illumination lamp and indica-
or lamp bulbs are serviceable. The defogger switchannot be repaired and, if faulty or damaged, it muste replaced.
NSTRUMENT CLUSTERThe instrument cluster is an electromechanical
nit that contains integrated circuitry and internalrogramming to perform a variety of functions. Thenstrument cluster circuitry monitors hard-wiredwitch inputs, as well as message inputs receivedrom other vehicle electronic control modules on thehrysler Collision Detection (CCD) data bus network.The instrument cluster uses these many inputs
long with its internal programming and integralimer and logic circuitry to perform the functions ofhe rear window defogger timer on this model. Thenstrument cluster circuitry also has a self-diagnosticapability. Refer to Instrument Cluster in Group 8E -nstrument Panel Systems for more information onhis feature.
However, there are no diagnostics available for theear window defogger timer and logic circuitry.herefore, the diagnosis for this system consists ofonfirming the presence of a rear window defoggerwitch input signal at the instrument cluster connec-or, and the resulting rear window defogger relayontrol output signal at the defogger relay. For diag-osis of the CCD data bus and the data bus message
nputs, a DRB scan tool and the proper Diagnosticrocedures manual are recommended.Refer to Instrument Cluster in Group 8E - Instru-ent Panel Systems for the service procedures for
he instrument cluster. The rear window defoggerimer and logic circuitry cannot be adjusted orepaired and, if faulty or damaged, the instrumentluster assembly must be replaced.
DEFOGGER RELAYThe rear window defogger relay is a International
Standards Organization (ISO)-type relay. The rearwindow defogger relay is a electromechanical devicethat switches fused battery current to the rear glassheating grid and the indicator lamp of the defoggerswitch, when the instrument cluster rear windowdefogger timer and logic circuitry grounds the relaycoil. See Defogger Relay in the Diagnosis and Testingsection of this group for more information.
The rear window defogger relay is located in thePower Distribution Center (PDC) in the engine com-partment. Refer to the PDC label for relay identifica-tion and location.
The rear window defogger relay cannot be repairedand, if faulty or damaged, it must be replaced.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DEFOGGER SYSTEMFor circuit descriptions and diagrams, refer to
8W-48 - Rear Window Defogger in Group 8W - Wir-ing Diagrams. The operation of the electricallyheated rear window defogger system can be con-firmed in one of the following manners:
1. Turn the ignition switch to the On position.While monitoring the instrument panel voltmeter, setthe defogger switch in the On position. When thedefogger switch is turned On, a distinct voltmeterneedle deflection should be noted.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the On position. Setthe defogger switch in the On position. The rear win-dow defogger operation can be checked by feeling therear window glass. A distinct difference in tempera-ture between the grid lines and the adjacent clearglass can be detected within three to four minutes ofoperation.
3. Using a 12-volt DC voltmeter, contact the rearglass heating grid terminal A (right side) with thenegative lead, and terminal B (left side) with the pos-itive lead (Fig. 1). The voltmeter should read batteryvoltage.
The above checks will confirm system operation.Illumination of the defogger switch indicator lampmeans that there is electrical current available at theoutput of the defogger relay, but does not confirmthat the electrical current is reaching the rear glassheating grid lines.
If the defogger system does not operate, the prob-lem should be isolated in the following manner:
(1) Confirm that the ignition switch is in the Onposition.
(2) Ensure that the rear glass heating grid feedand ground wires are connected to the glass. Confirmthat the ground wire has continuity to ground.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING (Continued)
(3) Check the fuses in the Power Distribution Cen-er (PDC) and in the fuseblock module. The fusesust be tight in their receptacles and all electrical
onnections must be secure.When the above steps have been completed and the
ear glass heating grid is still inoperative, one orore of the following is faulty:• Defogger switch• Defogger relay• Instrument cluster circuitry• Rear window grid lines (all grid lines would
ave to be broken or one of the feed wires discon-ected for the entire system to be inoperative).If setting the defogger switch to the On position
roduces a severe voltmeter deflection, check for ahort circuit between the defogger relay output andhe rear glass heating grid.
EAR GLASS HEATING GRIDFor circuit descriptions and diagrams, refer to
W-48 - Rear Window Defogger in Group 8W - Wir-ng Diagrams. To detect breaks in the grid lines, theollowing procedure is required:
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the On position. Sethe defogger switch in the On position. The indicatoramp should light. If OK, go to Step 2. If not OK, seehe Defogger Relay diagnosis in this group.
(2) Using a 12-volt DC voltmeter, contact the ver-ical bus bar on the right side of the vehicle with theegative lead. With the positive lead, contact the ver-ical bus bar on the left side of the vehicle. The volt-eter should read battery voltage. If OK, go to Step
. If not OK, repair the open circuit to the defoggerelay as required.(3) With the negative lead of the voltmeter, contactgood body ground point. The voltage reading should
ot change. If OK, go to Step 4. If not OK, repair theircuit to ground as required.(4) Connect the negative lead of the voltmeter to
he right side bus bar and touch each grid line at
Fig. 1 Rear Window Glass Grid Test
midpoint C with the positive lead. A reading ofapproximately six volts indicates a line is good. Areading of zero volts indicates a break in the gridline between midpoint C and the left side bus bar. Areading of ten to fourteen volts indicates a breakbetween midpoint C and the right side bus bar. Movethe positive lead on the grid line towards the breakand the voltage reading will change as soon as thebreak is crossed.

NTRODUCTIONThe Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) is
vailable factory-installed optional equipment for thisodel. Following are some general descriptions of the
eatures and components of the SKIS. Refer to theehicle owner’s manual for more information on these and operation of the SKIS. Refer to 8W-30 - Fuel/gnition System in Group 8W - Wiring Diagrams foromplete circuit descriptions and diagrams.
ENTRY KEY IMMOBILIZER SYSTEMThe Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) is
esigned to provide passive protection against unau-horized vehicle use by preventing the engine fromperating while the system is armed. The primaryomponents of this system are the Sentry Key Immo-ilizer Module (SKIM), the Sentry Key transponder,he SKIS indicator lamp, and the Powertrain Controlodule (PCM).The SKIM is installed on the steering column near
he ignition lock cylinder. The transponder is locatednder the molded rubber cap on the head of the igni-ion key. The SKIS indicator lamp is located in thenstrument cluster.
The SKIS includes two valid Sentry Key transpon-ers from the factory. If the customer wishes, addi-ional non-coded blank Sentry Keys are available.hese blank keys can be cut to match a valid ignitioney, but the engine will not start unless the key tran-ponder is also programmed to the vehicle. The SKISill recognize no more than eight valid Sentry Key
ransponders at any one time.The SKIS performs a self-test each time the igni-
ion switch is turned to the On position, and willtore Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) if a systemalfunction is detected. The SKIS can be diagnosed,
and any stored DTC can be retrieved using a DRBscan tool as described in the proper Diagnostic Pro-cedures manual.
tains a Radio Frequency (RF) transceiver and a cen-tral processing unit, which includes the Sentry KeyImmobilizer System (SKIS) program logic. The SKISprogramming enables the SKIM to program andretain in memory the codes of at least two, but nomore than eight electronically coded Sentry Keytransponders. The SKIS programming also enablesthe SKIM to communicate over the Chrysler CollisionDetection (CCD) data bus network with the Power-train Control Module (PCM), the instrument clusterand/or the DRB scan tool.
The SKIM transmits and receives RF signalsthrough a tuned antenna enclosed within a moldedplastic ring formation that is integral to the SKIMhousing. When the SKIM is properly installed on thesteering column, the antenna ring is oriented aroundthe circumference of the ignition lock cylinder hous-ing. This antenna ring must be located within eightmillimeters (0.31 inches) of the Sentry Key in orderto ensure proper RF communication between theSKIM and the Sentry Key transponder.
For added system security, each SKIM is pro-grammed with a unique “Secret Key” code and asecurity code. The SKIM keeps the “Secret Key” codein memory and sends the code over the CCD databus to the PCM, which also keeps this code in itsmemory. The SKIM also sends the “Secret Key” codeto each of the programmed Sentry Key transponders.The security code is used by the assembly plant to
access the SKIS for initialization, or by the dealer

echnician to access the system for service. TheKIM also stores in its memory the Vehicle Identifi-ation Number (VIN), which it learns through a CCData bus message from the PCM during initializa-ion.
The SKIM and the PCM both use software thatncludes a rolling code algorithm strategy, whichelps to reduce the possibility of unauthorized SKISisarming. The rolling code algorithm ensures secu-ity by preventing an override of the SKIS throughhe unauthorized substitution of the SKIM or theCM. However, the use of this strategy also meanshat replacement of either the SKIM or the PCMnits will require a system initialization procedure toestore system operation.When the ignition switch is turned to the On or
tart positions, the SKIM transmits an RF signal toxcite the Sentry Key transponder. The SKIM thenistens for a return RF signal from the transponderf the Sentry Key that is inserted in the ignition lockylinder. If the SKIM receives an RF signal withalid “Secret Key” and transponder identificationodes, the SKIM sends a “valid key” message to theCM over the CCD data bus. If the SKIM receivesn invalid RF signal or no response, it sends “invalidey” messages to the PCM. The PCM will enable orisable engine operation based upon the status of theKIM messages.The SKIM also sends messages to the instrument
luster over the CCD data bus network to control theKIS indicator lamp. The SKIM sends messages tohe instrument cluster to turn the lamp on for abouthree seconds when the ignition switch is turned tohe On position as a bulb test. After completion ofhe bulb test, the SKIM sends bus messages to keephe lamp off for a duration of about one second. Thenhe SKIM sends messages to turn the lamp on or offased upon the results of the SKIS self-tests. If theKIS indicator lamp comes on and stays on after theulb test, it indicates that the SKIM has detected aystem malfunction and/or that the SKIS has becomenoperative.
If the SKIM detects an invalid key when the igni-ion switch is turned to the On position, it sendsessages to the instrument cluster to flash the SKIS
ndicator lamp. The SKIM can also send messages tohe instrument cluster to flash the lamp and to gen-rate a single audible chime tone. These functionserve as an indication to the customer that the SKISas been placed in its “Customer Learn” program-ing mode. See Sentry Key Immobilizer System
ransponder Programming in this group for morenformation on the “Customer Learn” programming
ode.For diagnosis or initialization of the SKIM and the
CM, a DRB scan tool and the proper Diagnostic
Procedures manual are required. The SKIM cannotbe repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the unit mustbe replaced.
SENTRY KEY IMMOBILIZER TRANSPONDERThe Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) uses a
transponder that is integral to each of the two igni-tion keys that are supplied with the vehicle when itis shipped from the factory. The transponder chip isinsulated within a nylon mount inserted in the headof the key, and invisible beneath a molded rubber cap(Fig. 1).
Each Sentry Key transponder has a unique tran-sponder identification code programmed into it by themanufacturer. The Sentry Key Immobilizer Module(SKIM) has a unique “Secret Key” code programmedinto it by the manufacturer. When a Sentry Keytransponder is programmed into the memory of theSKIM, the SKIM learns the transponder identifica-tion code from the transponder, and the transponderlearns the “Secret Key” code from the SKIM. Each ofthese codes is stored within the transponder and inthe nonvolatile memory of the SKIM. Therefore,blank keys for the SKIS must be programmed by andinto the SKIM, in addition to being cut to match themechanical coding of the ignition lock cylinder. SeeSentry Key Immobilizer System Transponder Pro-gramming in this group for more information.
The Sentry Key transponder is within the range ofthe SKIM transceiver antenna ring when it isinserted in the ignition lock cylinder. When the igni-tion switch is turned to the Start or On positions, theSKIM transceiver issues a Radio Frequency (RF) sig-nal that excites the transponder chip. The transpon-der chip responds by issuing an RF signal containing

ey” code. The SKIM transceiver compares the tran-ponder codes with the codes stored in its memory toetermine whether a valid key is in the ignition lockylinder.The Sentry Key transponder cannot be repaired
nd, if faulty or damaged, it must be replaced.
ENTRY KEY IMMOBILIZER SYSTEMNDICATOR LAMP
The Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) indica-or lamp gives an indication when the SKIS is faultyr when the vehicle has been immobilized due to these of an invalid ignition key. The lamp is controlledy the instrument cluster circuitry based upon mes-ages received from the Sentry Key Immobilizerodule (SKIM) on the Chrysler Collision Detection
CCD) data bus.The SKIM sends messages to the instrument clus-
er to turn the lamp on for about three seconds whenhe ignition switch is turned to the On position as aulb test. After completion of the bulb test, the SKIMends bus messages to keep the lamp off for a dura-ion of about one second. Then the SKIM sends mes-ages to the instrument cluster circuitry to turn theamp on or off based upon the results of the SKISelf-tests. If the SKIS indicator lamp comes on andtays on after the bulb test, it indicates that theKIM has detected a system malfunction and/or thathe SKIS has become inoperative.
If the SKIM detects an invalid key when the igni-ion switch is turned to the On position, it sendsessages to the instrument cluster to flash the SKIS
ndicator lamp. The SKIM can also send messages tohe instrument cluster to flash the lamp and to gen-rate a single audible chime tone. These functionserve as an indication to the customer that the SKISas been placed in its “Customer Learn” program-ing mode. See Sentry Key Immobilizer System
ransponder Programming in this group for morenformation on the “Customer Learn” programming
ode.The SKIS indicator lamp uses a replaceable incan-
escent bulb and bulb holder on the instrument clus-er electronic circuit board. Refer to Group 8E -nstrument Panel Systems for diagnosis and servicef a faulty SKIS indicator lamp. If the SKIS indicatoramp comes on and stays on after the bulb test func-ion, diagnosis of the SKIS should be performed with
DRB scan tool and the proper Diagnostic Proce-ures manual.

ENERAL INFORMATION
NTRODUCTIONThis group covers the chime warning system,hich is standard factory-installed equipment on thisodel. The chime warning system provides an audi-
le warning to the driver under the following condi-ions:
• Check gauges lamp illumination• Driver side seat belt is not fastened with the
gnition switch in the On position• Head or park lamps are turned on with the igni-
ion switch Off and the driver side front door open• Key is in the ignition switch with the ignition
witch Off and the driver side front door open• Low fuel warning lamp illumination - less than
bout one-eighth tank of fuel remaining• The optional Sentry Key Immobilizer System
SKIS) is in the “customer programming” mode.Following are general descriptions of the major
omponents in the chime warning system. Refer toW-40 Instrument Cluster or 8W-44 - Interior Light-ng in Group 8W - Wiring Diagrams for complete cir-uit descriptions and diagrams.
ESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
NSTRUMENT CLUSTERThe instrument cluster is an electromechanical
nit that contains integrated circuitry and internalrogramming to perform a variety of functions. Thenstrument cluster circuitry monitors hard-wiredwitch inputs, as well as message inputs receivedrom other vehicle electronic modules on the Chryslerollision Detection (CCD) data bus network.The instrument cluster uses these many inputs
long with its internal programming and an integral
chime tone generator to perform the functions of thechime warning module on this model. The instru-ment cluster circuitry also has a self-diagnostic capa-bility. Refer to Group 8E - Instrument Panel Systemsfor more information on this feature.
Hard-wired chime warning system inputs to theinstrument cluster include the following:
• Driver door jamb switch• Driver seat belt switch• Headlamp switch• Key-in ignition switch.The only instrument cluster diagnosis found in this
group consists of confirming the viability of the hard-wired chime request inputs to the instrument clustercircuitry. For diagnosis of the CCD data bus and thedata bus message inputs, a DRB scan tool and theproper Diagnostic Procedures manual are recom-mended.
Refer to Group 8E - Instrument Panel Systems forthe instrument cluster service procedures. Theinstrument cluster chime warning circuitry andchime tone generator cannot be repaired and, iffaulty or damaged, the instrument cluster assemblymust be replaced.
DRIVER DOOR JAMB SWITCHThe driver door jamb switch is mounted to the
driver side door hinge pillar. The switch closes a pathto ground for the instrument cluster chime warningcircuitry through the key-in ignition switch and/orthe headlamp switch when the driver door is opened,and opens the ground path when the driver door isclosed.
The driver door jamb switch cannot be repairedand, if faulty or damaged, it must be replaced. Referto Group 8L - Lamps for the service procedures.

NTRODUCTIONChrysler wiring diagrams are designed to provide
nformation regarding the vehicles wiring content. Inrder to effectively use Chrysler wiring diagrams toiagnose and repair a Chrysler vehicle, it is impor-ant to understand all of their features and charac-eristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+)ide of the circuit is placed near the top of the page,nd the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed nearhe bottom of the page.
All switches, components, and modules are shownn the at rest position with the doors closed and the
Components are shown two ways. A solid linearound a component indicates that the component iscomplete. A dashed line around a component indi-cates that the component being shown is not com-plete. Incomplete components have a referencenumber to indicate the page where the component isshown complete.
It is important to realize that no attempt is madeon the diagrams to represent components and wiringas they appear on the vehicle. For example, a shortpiece of wire is treated the same as a long one. Inaddition, switches and other components are shownas simply as possible, with regard to function only.

LECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) SENSITIVEEVICESAll ESD sensitive components are solid state and a
ymbol (Fig. 4) is used to indicate this. When han-ling any component with this symbol comply withhe following procedures to reduce the possibility oflectrostatic charge build up on the body and inad-ertent discharge into the component. If it is notnown whether the part is ESD sensitive, assumehat it is.
(1) Always touch a known good ground before han-ling the part. This should be repeated while han-ling the part and more frequently after slidingcross a seat, sitting down from a standing position,r walking a distance.(2) Avoid touching electrical terminals of the part,
nless instructed to do so by a written procedure.
(3) When using a voltmeter, be sure to connect theground lead first.
(4) Do not remove the part from its protectivepacking until it is time to install the part.
(5) Before removing the part from its package,ground the package to a known good ground on thevehicle.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLSWhen diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit
there are several common tools necessary. These toolsare listed and explained below.
• Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to con-nect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypassan open in a circuit.
WARNING: NEVER USE A JUMPER WIRE ACROSSA LOAD, SUCH AS A MOTOR, CONNECTEDBETWEEN A BATTERY FEED AND GROUND.
• Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a cir-cuit. Always connect the black lead to a known goodground and the red lead to the positive side of thecircuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components usedin today’s vehicle are solid state. When checkingvoltages in these circuits use a meter with a 10-me-gohm or greater impedance rating.
• Ohmmeter - Used to check the resistancebetween two points of a circuit. Low or no resistancein a circuit means good continuity.
CAUTION: - Most of the electrical components usedin today’s vehicle are Solid State. When checkingresistance in these circuits use a meter with a10-megohm or greater impedance rating. In addi-tion, make sure the power is disconnected from thecircuit. Circuits that are powered up by the vehicleelectrical system can cause damage to the equip-ment and provide false readings.

Rapid loss of electrolyte can be caused by an over-charging condition. Be certain to diagnose the charg-ing system before returning the vehicle to service.Refer to Charging System in the Diagnosis andTesting section of Group 8C - Charging System formore information.
The factory-installed battery also has a built-intest indicator (hydrometer). The color visible in thesight glass of the indicator will reveal the batterycondition. Refer to Built-In Test Indicator in theDiagnosis and Testing section of this group for moreinformation.
This group covers only the battery diagnostic andservice procedures. For battery maintenance sched-ules and jump starting procedures, see the owner’smanual in the vehicle glove box, or refer to Mainte-nance Schedules and Jump Starting, Towingand Hoisting in Group 0 - Lubrication and Mainte-nance. While battery charging can be considered amaintenance procedure, battery charging informationis located in this group. This was done because thebattery must be fully-charged before any diagnosiscan be performed.
Group 8A covers the Battery, Group 8B covers theStarting Systems, and Group 8C covers the ChargingSystem. We have separated these systems to make iteasier to locate the information you are seekingwithin this Service Manual. However, when attempt-ing to diagnose any of these systems, it is importantthat you keep their interdependency in mind.
The battery, starting, and charging systems in thevehicle operate with one another, and must be testedas a complete system. In order for the vehicle to startand charge properly, all of the components that areused in these systems must perform within specifica-tions. It is important that the battery, starting, andcharging systems be thoroughly tested and inspectedany time a battery needs to be charged or replaced.The cause of abnormal discharge, overcharging, orearly battery failure must be diagnosed and correctedbefore a battery is replaced or returned to service.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (Continued)
The diagnostic procedures used in each of theseroups include the most basic conventional diagnosticethods, to the more sophisticated On-Board Diag-ostics (OBD) built into the Powertrain Control Mod-le (PCM). Use of an induction-type milliamperemmeter, volt/ohmmeter, battery charger, carbon pileheostat (load tester), and 12-volt test lamp may beequired.All OBD-sensed systems are monitored by the
CM. Each monitored circuit is assigned a Diagnos-ic Trouble Code (DTC). The PCM will store a DTC inlectronic memory for any failure it detects. Refer ton-Board Diagnostic Test For Charging System
n the Diagnosis and Testing section of Group 8C -harging System for more information.
PERATIONThe storage battery is a device used to store elec-
rical energy potential in a chemical form. When anlectrical load is applied to the battery terminals, anlectrochemical reaction occurs within the battery.his reaction causes the battery to discharge electri-al current.The battery is made up of six individual cells that
re connected in series. Each cell contains positivelyharged plate groups made of lead oxide, and nega-ively charged plate groups made of sponge lead.hese dissimilar metal plates are submerged in aulfuric acid and water solution called an electrolyte.As the battery discharges, a gradual chemical
hange takes place within each cell. The sulfuric acidn the electrolyte combines with the plate materials,ausing both plates to slowly change to lead sulfate.t the same time, oxygen from the positive plateaterial combines with hydrogen from the sulfuric
cid, causing the electrolyte to become mainly water.The chemical changes within the battery are
aused by the movement of excess or free electronsetween the positive and negative plate groups. Thisovement of electrons produces a flow of electrical
urrent through the load device attached to the bat-ery terminals.
As the plate materials become more similar chem-cally, and the electrolyte becomes less acid, the volt-ge potential of each cell is reduced. However, byharging the battery with a voltage higher than thatf the battery, the battery discharging process iseversed.Charging the battery gradually changes the sul-
ated lead plates back into sponge lead and leadxide, and the water back into sulfuric acid. Thisction restores the difference in the electron chargeseposited on the plates, and the voltage potential ofhe battery cells.
For a battery to remain useful, it must be able toroduce high-amperage current over an extended
a
period. A battery must also be able to accept acharge, so that its voltage potential may be restored.
In addition to producing and storing electricalenergy, the battery serves as a capacitor, or voltagestabilizer, for the electrical system of the vehicle. Itabsorbs most abnormal or transient voltages causedby the switching of any of the electrical componentsin the vehicle.
The battery is vented to release excess hydrogengas that is created when the battery is being chargedor discharged. However, even with these vents, thehydrogen gas can collect in or around the battery. Ifhydrogen gas is exposed to flame or sparks, it mayignite.
If the electrolyte level is low, the battery may arcinternally and explode. If the battery is equippedwith removable cell caps, add distilled water when-ever the electrolyte level is below the top of theplates. If the battery cell caps cannot be removed, thebattery must be replaced if the electrolyte levelbecomes low.
BATTERY SIZE AND RATINGSThe battery Group Size number, the Cold Cranking
Amperage (CCA) rating, and the Reserve Capacity(RC) rating or Ampere-Hours (AH) rating can befound on the original equipment battery label. Becertain that a replacement battery has the correctGroup Size number, as well as CCA, and RC or AHratings that equal or exceed the original equipmentspecification for the vehicle being serviced.
Refer to Battery Classifications and Ratings inhe Specifications section of this group for more infor-ation. Battery sizes and ratings are discussed inore detail below.
ROUP SIZEThe outside dimensions and terminal placement of
he battery conform to standards established by theattery Council International (BCI). Each battery isssigned a BCI Group Size number to help identify aorrectly-sized replacement.
OLD CRANKING AMPERAGEThe Cold Cranking Amperage (CCA) rating speci-
ies how much current (in amperes) the battery caneliver for thirty seconds at -18° C (0° F). Terminaloltage must not fall below 7.2 volts during or afterhe thirty second discharge period. The CCA requireds generally higher as engine displacement increases,epending also upon the starter current drawequirements.
ESERVE CAPACITYThe Reserve Capacity (RC) rating specifies the
ime (in minutes) it takes for battery terminal volt-
ge to fall below 10.5 volts, at a discharge rate of 25

mperes. RC is determined with the battery fully-harged at 26.7° C (80° F). This rating estimates howong the battery might last after a charging systemailure, under minimum electrical load.
MPERE-HOURSThe Ampere-Hours (AH) rating specifies the cur-
ent (in amperes) that a battery can deliver steadilyor twenty hours, with the voltage in the battery notalling below 10.5 volts. This rating is also sometimesdentified as the twenty-hour discharge rating.
OUNTINGThe battery is mounted in a stamped steel located
n the passenger side rear corner of the engine com-artment. A J-bolt is hooked through in the front andear edges of the tray. A hold down strap fits acrosshe top of the battery case. The J-bolts pass throughhe hold down strap on each side of the battery, and
nut secures the hold down strap to each of the-bolts.A plastic bubble-wrap style thermoguard slides
ver the battery case to enclose the sides of the bat-ery. The thermoguard protects the battery fromngine compartment temperature extremes.The battery tray is secured with four screws to a
upport bracket mounted between the front fendernner wheelhouse and the dash panel, rearward ofhe passenger side front wheel.
A hole in the bottom of the battery tray is fittedith a battery temperature sensor. Refer to Batteryemperature Sensor in the Description and Opera-ion section of Group 8C - Charging System for morenformation on this component.
When installing a battery, be certain that the holdown fasteners are tightened to the proper specifica-ions. Improper hold down fastener tightness,hether too loose or too tight, can result in damage
o the battery. Refer to Battery in the Removal andnstallation section of this group for the correct bat-ery hold down fastener tightness specifications.

2. Cranking Capacity - This can be determinedy performing a battery load test, which measureshe ability of the battery to supply high-amperageurrent.First, determine the battery state-of-charge. This
an be done in one of three ways. If the battery has auilt-in test indicator, view the test indicator toetermine the state-of-charge. If the battery has noest indicator, but has removable cell caps, performhe hydrometer test to determine the state-of-charge.f the cell caps are not removable, or a hydrometer isot available, perform the open-circuit voltage test toetermine the state-of-charge.The battery must be charged before proceedingith a load test if:• The battery built-in test indicator has a black or
ark color visible.• The temperature corrected specific gravity of the
attery electrolyte is less than 1.235.• The battery open-circuit voltage is less than 12.4
olts.
A battery that will not accept a charge is faulty,and must be replaced. Further testing is notrequired. A fully-charged battery must be load testedto determine its cranking capacity. A battery that isfully-charged, but does not pass the load test, isfaulty and must be replaced.
NOTE: Completely discharged batteries may takeseveral hours to accept a charge. Refer to BatteryCharging - Charging A Completely Discharged Bat-tery in the Service Procedures section of this groupfor more information.
A battery is fully-charged when:• All cells are gassing freely during charging.• A green color is visible in the sight glass of the
built-in test indicator.• Three corrected specific gravity tests, taken at
one-hour intervals, indicate no increase in the spe-cific gravity.

TESTING
BUILT-IN TEST INDICATORA test indicator (hydrometer) built into the top of
the battery case provides visual information for bat-tery testing (Fig. 2). Like a hydrometer, the built-intest indicator measures the specific gravity of theelectrolyte. The test indicator reveals the batterystate-of-charge; however, it will not reveal the crank-ing capacity of the battery. A load test must be per-formed to determine the battery cranking capacity.

Before testing, visually inspect the battery for anyamage (a cracked case or cover, loose posts, etc.)hat would cause the battery to be faulty. In order tobtain correct indications from the built-in test indi-ator, it is important that the battery be level andave a clean sight glass. Additional light may beequired to view the indicator. Do not use openlame as a source of additional light.
To read the built-in test indicator, look into theight glass and note the color of the indicator (Fig. 3).he battery condition that each color indicates isescribed in the following list:• Green - indicates 75% to 100% state-of-charge.
he battery is adequately charged for further testingr return to use. If the starter will not crank for ainimum of fifteen seconds with a fully-charged bat-

tery, the battery must be load tested. Refer to LoadTest in the Diagnosis and Testing section of thisgroup for more information.
• Black or Dark - indicates 0% to 75% state-of-charge. The battery is inadequately charged andmust be charged until a green indication is visible inthe sight glass (12.4 volts or more), before the bat-tery is tested further or returned to service. Refer toBattery Charging in the Service Procedures sectionof this group for more information. Also refer toAbnormal Battery Discharging in the Diagnosisand Testing section of this group for possible causesof the discharged condition.
• Clear or Bright - indicates a low electrolytelevel. The electrolyte level in the battery is below thetest indicator. A maintenance-free battery with non-removable cell caps must be replaced if the electro-lyte level is low. Water must be added to a low-maintenance battery with removable cell caps beforeit is charged. Refer to Battery Charging in the Ser-vice Procedures section of this group for more infor-mation. A low electrolyte level may be caused by anovercharging condition. Refer to Charging Systemin the Diagnosis and Testing section of Group 8C -Charging System to diagnose an overcharging condi-tion.
HYDROMETER TESTThe hydrometer test reveals the battery state-of-
charge by measuring the specific gravity of the elec-trolyte. This test cannot be performed onmaintenance-free batteries with non-removablecell caps. If the battery has non-removable cell caps,refer to Built-In Test Indicator or Open-CircuitVoltage Test in the Diagnosis and Testing section ofthis group.
Specific gravity is a comparison of the density ofthe electrolyte to the density of pure water. Purewater has a specific gravity of 1.000, and sulfuricacid has a specific gravity of 1.835. Sulfuric acidmakes up approximately 35% of the electrolyte byweight, or 24% by volume.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING (Continued)
In a fully-charged battery the electrolyte will havetemperature-corrected specific gravity of 1.260 to
.290. However, a specific gravity of 1.235 or above isatisfactory for battery load testing and/or return toervice.

BLE CELL CAPS, BE CERTAIN THAT EACH OFHE CELL CAPS IS IN PLACE AND TIGHT BEFOREHE BATTERY IS RETURNED TO SERVICE. PER-ONAL INJURY AND/OR VEHICLE DAMAGE MAYESULT FROM LOOSE OR MISSING CELL CAPS.
Before testing, visually inspect the battery for anyamage (a cracked case or cover, loose posts, etc.)hat would cause the battery to be faulty. Thenemove the cell caps and check the electrolyte level.dd distilled water if the electrolyte level is below
he top of the battery plates.See the instructions provided by the manufacturer
f the hydrometer for recommendations on the cor-ect use of the hydrometer that you are using.emove only enough electrolyte from the battery cello that the float is off the bottom of the hydrometerarrel with pressure on the bulb released.
AUTION: Exercise care when inserting the tip ofhe hydrometer into a cell to avoid damaging thelate separators. Damaged plate separators canause early battery failure.
To read the hydrometer correctly, hold it with theop surface of the electrolyte at eye level (Fig. 4).ydrometer floats are generally calibrated to indi-
ate the specific gravity correctly only at 26.7° C (80°). When testing the specific gravity at any otheremperature, a correction factor is required.
The correction factor is approximately a specificravity value of 0.004, which may also be identified
as four points of specific gravity. For each 5.5° Cabove 26.7° C (10° F above 80° F), add four points.For each 5.5° C below 26.7° C (10° F below 80° F),subtract four points. Always correct the specific grav-ity for temperature variation. Test the specific grav-ity of the electrolyte in each battery cell.
EXAMPLE: A battery is tested at -12.2° C (10° F)and has a specific gravity of 1.240. Determine theactual specific gravity as follows:
(1) Determine the number of degrees above orbelow 26.7° C (80° F):26.6° C - -12.2° C = 38.8° C (80°F - 10° F = 70° F)
(2) Divide the result from Step 1 by 5.5 (10):38.8°C 4 5.5 = 7 (70° F 4 10 = 7)
(3) Multiply the result from Step 2 by the temper-ature correction factor (0.004):7 X 0.004 = 0.028
(4) The temperature at testing was below 26.7° C(80° F); therefore, the temperature correction factoris subtracted:1.240 - 0.028 = 1.212
The corrected specific gravity of the battery cell inthis example is 1.212.
If the specific gravity of all cells is above 1.235, butthe variation between cells is more than fifty points(0.050), the battery should be replaced. If the specificgravity of one or more cells is less than 1.235, chargethe battery at a rate of approximately five amperes.
Continue charging the battery until three consecu-tive specific gravity tests, taken at one-hour inter-vals, are constant. If the cell specific gravityvariation is more than fifty points (0.050) at the endof the charge period, replace the battery.
When the specific gravity of all cells is above 1.235,and the cell variation is less than fifty points (0.050),

(3) Using a voltmeter connected to the batteryposts (see the instructions provided by the manufac-turer of the voltmeter), measure the open-circuit volt-age (Fig. 5).
See the Open-Circuit Voltage chart. This voltagereading will indicate the battery state-of-charge, butwill not reveal its cranking capacity. If a battery hasan open-circuit voltage reading of 12.4 volts orgreater, it may be load tested to reveal its crankingcapacity. Refer to Load Test in the Diagnosis andTesting section of this group for more information.
LOAD TESTA battery load test will verify the battery cranking
capacity. The test is based on the Cold CrankingAmperage (CCA) rating of the battery. See the labelaffixed to the battery case, or refer to Battery Clas-sifications and Ratings in the Specifications sec-tion of this group for the CCA rating of the factory-installed battery.

(1) Verify that all electrical accessories are off.urn off all lamps, remove the ignition key, and closell doors. If the vehicle is equipped with an illumi-ated entry system or an electronically tuned radio,llow the electronic timer function of these systemso automatically shut off (time out). This may takep to three minutes.(2) Determine that the under-hood lamp is operat-
ng properly, then disconnect the lamp wire harnessonnector or remove the lamp bulb.(3) Disconnect the battery negative cable.(4) Set an electronic digital multi-meter to its
ighest amperage scale. Connect the multi-meteretween the disconnected battery negative cablelamp and the battery negative terminal post. Makeure that the doors remain closed so that the illumi-ated entry system is not activated. The multi-metermperage reading may remain high for up to threeinutes, or may not give any reading at all while set
n the highest amperage scale, depending upon thelectrical equipment on the vehicle. The multi-metereads must be securely clamped to the battery nega-ive cable clamp and the battery negative terminalost. If continuity between the battery negative ter-inal post and the negative cable clamp is lost dur-
ng any part of the IOD test, the electronic timerunction will be activated and all of the tests willave to be repeated.(5) After about three minutes, the high-amperage
OD reading on the multi-meter should become veryow or nonexistent, depending upon the electricalquipment on the vehicle. If the amperage readingemains high, remove and replace each fuse or circuitreaker in the Power Distribution Center (PDC) andhen in the fuseblock module (refer to Power Distri-ution Center and Fuse Block in the Componentndex of Group 8W - Wiring Diagrams for fuse andircuit breaker identification) one at a time until themperage reading becomes very low, or nonexistent.his will isolate each circuit and identify the sourcef the high-amperage IOD. If the amperage readingemains high after removing and replacing each fusend circuit breaker, disconnect the wire harness fromhe generator. If the amperage reading now becomesery low or nonexistent, refer to Charging Systemn the Diagnosis and Testing section of Group 8C -harging System to diagnose the condition. After theigh-amperage IOD has been corrected, switch theulti-meter to progressively lower amperage scales
nd, if necessary, repeat the fuse and circuit breakeremove-and-replace process to identify and correct allources of excessive IOD. It is now safe to select the
lowest milliampere scale of the multi-meter to checkthe low-amperage IOD.
CAUTION: Do not open any doors, or turn on anyelectrical accessories with the lowest milliamperescale selected, or the multi-meter may be damaged.
(6) Observe the multi-meter reading. The low-am-perage IOD should not exceed twenty-five milliam-peres (0.025 ampere). If the draw exceeds twenty-fivemilliamperes, isolate each circuit using the fuse andcircuit breaker remove-and-replace process. Themulti-meter reading will drop to within the accept-able limit when the source of the excessive draw isdisconnected.

AUTION:• Always disconnect and isolate the battery neg-
tive cable before charging a battery. Do not exceedixteen volts while charging a battery. Damage tohe vehicle electrical system components mayesult.
• Battery electrolyte will bubble inside the bat-ery case during normal battery charging. Electro-yte boiling or being discharged from the batteryents indicates a battery overcharging condition.mmediately reduce the charging rate or turn off theharger to evaluate the battery condition. Damageo the battery may result from overcharging.
• The battery should not be hot to the touch. Ifhe battery feels hot to the touch, turn off theharger and let the battery cool before continuinghe charging operation. Damage to the battery mayesult.
Some battery chargers are equipped with polarity-ensing circuitry. This circuitry protects the chargernd/or the battery from being damaged if they aremproperly connected. If the battery state-of-charges too low for the polarity-sensing circuitry to detect,he charger will not operate. This makes it appearhat the battery will not accept charging current. Seehe instructions provided by the manufacturer of theattery charger for details on how to bypass theolarity-sensing circuitry.After the battery has been charged to 12.4 volts or
reater, perform a load test to determine the batteryranking capacity. Refer to Load Test in the Diagno-is and Testing section of this group for the proce-ures. If the battery will endure a load test, returnhe battery to use. If the battery will not endure aoad test, it is faulty and must be replaced.
Clean and inspect the battery hold downs, tray,erminals, posts, and top before completing service.efer to Battery in the Removal and Installationection of this group for the proper cleaning andnspection procedures.
HARGING A COMPLETELY DISCHARGEDATTERYThe following procedure should be used to rechargecompletely discharged battery. Unless this proce-
ure is properly followed, a good battery may beeedlessly replaced.(1) Measure the voltage at the battery posts with a
oltmeter, accurate to 1/10 (0.10) volt (Fig. 14). If theeading is below ten volts, the charge current will beow. It could take some time before the batteryccepts a current greater than a few milliamperes.uch low current may not be detectable on themmeters built into many battery chargers.
(2) Disconnect and isolate the battery negativecable. Connect the battery charger leads. Some bat-tery chargers are equipped with polarity-sensing cir-cuitry. This circuitry protects the charger and/or thebattery from being damaged if they are improperlyconnected. If the battery state-of-charge is too low forthe polarity-sensing circuitry to detect, the chargerwill not operate. This makes it appear that the bat-tery will not accept charging current. See the instruc-tions provided by the manufacturer of the batterycharger for details on how to bypass the polarity-sensing circuitry.
(3) Battery chargers vary in the amount of voltageand current they provide. The amount of timerequired for a battery to accept measurable chargercurrent at various voltages is shown in the ChargeRate chart. If the charge current is still not measur-able at the end of the charging time, the battery isfaulty and must be replaced. If the charge current ismeasurable during the charging time, the batterymay be good and the charging should be completed inthe normal manner.
CHARGING TIME REQUIREDThe time required to charge a battery will vary,
depending upon the following factors:• Battery Capacity - A completely discharged
heavy-duty battery requires twice the charging timeof a small capacity battery.
• Temperature - A longer time will be needed tocharge a battery at -18° C (0° F) than at 27° C (80°F). When a fast charger is connected to a cold bat-
