The SAE bolt strength grades range from grade 2
to grade 8. The higher the grade number, the greater
the bolt strength. Identification is determined by the
line marks on the top of each bolt head. The actual
bolt strength grade corresponds to the number of line
marks plus 2. The most commonly used metric bolt
strength classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The metric
strength class identification number is imprinted on
the head of the bolt. The higher the class number,
the greater the bolt strength. Some metric nuts are
imprinted with a single-digit strength class on the
nut face. Refer to the Fastener Identification and

LUBRICATION & MAINTENANCE

FLUID TYPES
DESCRIPTION - FUEL REQUIREMENTS - GAS
ENGINES
Your engine is designed to meet all emissions regulations and provide excellent fuel economy and performance when using high quality unleaded gasoline
having an octane rating of 87. The use of premium
gasoline is not recommended. The use of premium
gasoline will provide no benefit over high quality regular gasoline, and in some circumstances may result
in poorer performance.
Light spark knock at low engine speeds is not
harmful to your engine. However, continued heavy
spark knock at high speeds can cause damage and
immediate service is required. Engine damage resulting from operation with a heavy spark knock may
not be covered by the new vehicle warranty.
Poor quality gasoline can cause problems such as
hard starting, stalling and hesitations. If you experience these symptoms, try another brand of gasoline
before considering service for the vehicle.
Over 40 auto manufacturers world-wide have
issued and endorsed consistent gasoline specifications
(the Worldwide Fuel Charter, WWFC) to define fuel
properties necessary to deliver enhanced emissions,
performance and durability for your vehicle. We recommend the use of gasolines that meet the WWFC
specifications if they are available.

REFORMULATED GASOLINE
Many areas of the country require the use of
cleaner burning gasoline referred to as “reformulated” gasoline. Reformulated gasoline contain oxygenates, and are specifically blended to reduce vehicle
emissions and improve air quality.
We strongly supports the use of reformulated gasoline. Properly blended reformulated gasoline will
provide excellent performance and durability for the
engine and fuel system components.

GASOLINE/OXYGENATE BLENDS
Some fuel suppliers blend unleaded gasoline with
oxygenates such as 10% ethanol, MTBE, and ETBE.
Oxygenates are required in some areas of the country
during the winter months to reduce carbon monoxide
emissions. Fuels blended with these oxygenates may
be used in your vehicle.
CAUTION: DO NOT use gasoline containing METHANOL. Gasoline containing methanol may damage
critical fuel system components.

BR/BE

MMT IN GASOLINE
MMT is a manganese-containing metallic additive
that is blended into some gasoline to increase octane.
Gasoline blended with MMT provide no performance
advantage beyond gasoline of the same octane number without MMT. Gasoline blended with MMT
reduce spark plug life and reduce emission system
performance in some vehicles. We recommend that
gasolines free of MMT be used in your vehicle. The
MMT content of gasoline may not be indicated on the
gasoline pump; therefore, you should ask your gasoline retailer whether or not his/her gasoline contains
MMT.
It is even more important to look for gasoline without MMT in Canada because MMT can be used at
levels higher than allowed in the United States.
MMT is prohibited in Federal and California reformulated gasoline.

SULFUR IN GASOLINE
If you live in the northeast United States, your
vehicle may have been designed to meet California
low emission standards with Cleaner-Burning California reformulated gasoline with low sulfur. If such
fuels are not available in states adopting California
emission standards, your vehicles will operate satisfactorily on fuels meeting federal specifications, but
emission control system performance may be
adversely affected. Gasoline sold outside of California
is permitted to have higher sulfur levels which may
affect the performance of the vehicle’s catalytic converter. This may cause the Malfunction Indicator
Lamp (MIL), Check Engine or Service Engine Soon
light to illuminate. We recommend that you try a different brand of unleaded gasoline having lower sulfur
to determine if the problem is fuel related prior to
returning your vehicle to an authorized dealer for
service.
CAUTION: If the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL),
Check Engine or Service Engine Soon light is flashing, immediate service is required; see on-board
diagnostics system section.

MATERIALS ADDED TO FUEL
All gasoline sold in the United States and Canada
are required to contain effective detergent additives.
Use of additional detergents or other additives is not
needed under normal conditions.

FUEL SYSTEM CAUTIONS
CAUTION: Follow these guidelines to maintain your
vehicle’s performance:

BR/BE

LUBRICATION & MAINTENANCE

0-3

FLUID TYPES (Continued)
• The use of leaded gas is prohibited by Federal
law. Using leaded gasoline can impair engine performance, damage the emission control system, and
could result in loss of warranty coverage.
• An out-of-tune engine, or certain fuel or ignition
malfunctions, can cause the catalytic converter to
overheat. If you notice a pungent burning odor or
some light smoke, your engine may be out of tune or
malfunctioning and may require immediate service.
Contact your dealer for service assistance.
• When pulling a heavy load or driving a fully
loaded vehicle when the humidity is low and the temperature is high, use a premium unleaded fuel to
help prevent spark knock. If spark knock persists,
lighten the load, or engine piston damage may result.
• The use of fuel additives which are now being
sold as octane enhancers is not recommended. Most
of these products contain high concentrations of
methanol. Fuel system damage or vehicle performance problems resulting from the use of such fuels
or
additives
is
not
the
responsibility
of
DaimlerChrysler Corporation and may not be covered
under the new vehicle warranty.
NOTE: Intentional tampering with emissions control
systems can result in civil penalties being assessed
against you.

DESCRIPTION - FUEL REQUIREMENTS DIESEL ENGINE
DESCRIPTION
WARNING: Do not use alcohol or gasoline as a fuel
blending agent. They can be unstable under certain
conditions and hazardous or explosive when mixed
with diesel fuel.
Use good quality diesel fuel from a reputable supplier in your Dodge truck. For most year-round service, number 2 diesel fuel meeting ASTM
specification D-975 will provide good performance. If
the vehicle is exposed to extreme cold (below 0°F/18°C), or is required to operate at colder-than-normal
conditions for prolonged periods, use climatized No. 2
diesel fuel or dilute the No. 2 diesel fuel with 50%
No. 1 diesel fuel. This will provide better protection
from fuel gelling or wax-plugging of the fuel filters.
Diesel fuel is seldom completely free of water. To
prevent fuel system trouble, including fuel line freezing in winter, drain the accumulated water from the
fuel/water separator using the fuel/water separator
drain provided. If you buy good-quality fuel and follow the cold-weather advice above, fuel conditioners
should not be required in your vehicle. If available in
your area, a high cetane “premium” diesel fuel may

offer improved cold starting and warm-up performance.

DESCRIPTION - ENGINE COOLANT
WARNING: ANTIFREEZE IS AN ETHYLENE GLYCOL
BASE COOLANT AND IS HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED OR INHALED. IF SWALLOWED, DRINK
TWO GLASSES OF WATER AND INDUCE VOMITING. IF INHALED, MOVE TO FRESH AIR AREA.
SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. DO NOT
STORE IN OPEN OR UNMARKED CONTAINERS.
WASH SKIN AND CLOTHING THOROUGHLY AFTER
COMING IN CONTACT WITH ETHYLENE GLYCOL.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. DISPOSE OF
GLYCOL BASE COOLANT PROPERLY, CONTACT
YOUR DEALER OR GOVERNMENT AGENCY FOR
LOCATION OF COLLECTION CENTER IN YOUR
AREA. DO NOT OPEN A COOLING SYSTEM WHEN
THE ENGINE IS AT OPERATING TEMPERATURE OR
HOT UNDER PRESSURE, PERSONAL INJURY CAN
RESULT. AVOID RADIATOR COOLING FAN WHEN
ENGINE COMPARTMENT RELATED SERVICE IS
PERFORMED, PERSONAL INJURY CAN RESULT.
CAUTION: Use of Propylene Glycol based coolants
is not recommended, as they provide less freeze
protection and less corrosion protection.
The cooling system is designed around the coolant.
The coolant must accept heat from engine metal, in
the cylinder head area near the exhaust valves and
engine block. Then coolant carries the heat to the
radiator where the tube/fin radiator can transfer the
heat to the air.
The use of aluminum cylinder blocks, cylinder
heads, and water pumps requires special corrosion
protection.
Mopart
Antifreeze/Coolant,
5
Year/100,000 Mile Formula (MS-9769), or the equivalent ethylene glycol base coolant with organic corrosion inhibitors (called HOAT, for Hybrid Organic
Additive Technology) is recommended. This coolant

COOLANT PERFORMANCE
The required ethylene-glycol (antifreeze) and water
mixture depends upon climate and vehicle operating
conditions. The coolant performance of various mixtures follows:
Pure Water-Water can absorb more heat than a
mixture of water and ethylene-glycol. This is for purpose of heat transfer only. Water also freezes at a
higher temperature and allows corrosion.
100 percent Ethylene-Glycol-The corrosion
inhibiting additives in ethylene-glycol need the presence of water to dissolve. Without water, additives
form deposits in system. These act as insulation
causing temperature to rise to as high as 149°C
(300°F). This temperature is hot enough to melt plastic and soften solder. The increased temperature can
result in engine detonation. In addition, 100 percent
ethylene-glycol freezes at -22°C (-8°F).
50/50 Ethylene-Glycol and Water-Is the recommended mixture, it provides protection against freezing to -37°C (-34°F). The antifreeze concentration
must always be a minimum of 44 percent, yearround in all climates. If percentage is lower, engine
parts may be eroded by cavitation. Maximum protection against freezing is provided with a 68 percent
antifreeze concentration, which prevents freezing
down to -67.7°C (-90°F). A higher percentage will
freeze at a warmer temperature. Also, a higher percentage of antifreeze can cause the engine to overheat because specific heat of antifreeze is lower than
that of water.

CAUTION: Do not use coolant additives that are
claimed to improve engine cooling.

DESCRIPTION - AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
FLUID
NOTE: Refer to the maintenance schedules in this
group for the recommended maintenance (fluid/filter
change) intervals for this transmission.

transmission operation and shift feel will remain consistent. Transmission fluid must also be a good conductor of heat. The fluid must absorb heat from the
internal transmission components and transfer that
heat to the transmission case.

FLUID CAPACITIES
NOTE: Refer to Service Procedures in this group for
fluid level checking procedures.
Mopart ATF +4, type 9602, Automatic Transmission Fluid is the recommended fluid for
DaimlerChrysler automatic transmissions.
Dexron II fluid IS NOT recommended. Clutch
chatter can result from the use of improper
fluid.
Mopart ATF +4, type 9602, Automatic Transmission Fluid when new is red in color. The ATF is dyed
red so it can be identified from other fluids used in
the vehicle such as engine oil or antifreeze. The red
color is not permanent and is not an indicator of fluid
condition. As the vehicle is driven, the ATF will begin
to look darker in color and may eventually become
brown. This is normal. A dark brown/black fluid
accompanied with a burnt odor and/or deterioration
in shift quality may indicate fluid deterioration or
transmission component failure.

FLUID ADDITIVES
DaimlerChrysler strongly recommends against the
addition of any fluids to the transmission, other than
those automatic transmission fluids listed above.
Exceptions to this policy are the use of special dyes
to aid in detecting fluid leaks.
Various “special” additives and supplements exist
that claim to improve shift feel and/or quality. These
additives and others also claim to improve converter
clutch operation and inhibit overheating, oxidation,
varnish, and sludge. These claims have not been supported to the satisfaction of DaimlerChrysler and
these additives must not be used. The use of transmission “sealers” should also be avoided, since they
may adversely affect the integrity of transmission
seals.

OPERATION - AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
FLUID
The automatic transmission fluid is selected based
upon several qualities. The fluid must provide a high
level of protection for the internal components by
providing a lubricating film between adjacent metal
components. The fluid must also be thermally stable
so that it can maintain a consistent viscosity through
a large temperature range. If the viscosity stays constant through the temperature range of operation,

WHEEL ALIGNMENT
DESCRIPTION
Wheel alignment is the positioning of the wheels in
relation to the vehicle. This is accomplished through
suspension and steering linkage adjustments. An
alignment is essential for efficient steering, good
directional stability and to minimize tire wear. The
most important measurements of an alignment are
caster, camber and toe position (Fig. 1)and (Fig. 2).
CAUTION: Do not attempt to modify any suspension or steering components by heating and bending.
NOTE: Periodic lubrication of the front suspension/
steering system components may be required. Rubber bushings must never be lubricated. Refer to
Lubrication And Maintenance for the recommended
maintenance schedule.

OPERATION

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - PRE-ALIGNMENT

• CASTER is the forward or rearward tilt of the
steering knuckle from vertical. Tilting the top of the
knuckle rearward provides positive caster. Tilting the
top of the knuckle forward provides negative caster.
Caster is a directional stability angle which enables
the front wheels to return to a straight ahead position after turns.
• CAMBER is the inward or outward tilt of the
wheel relative to the center of the vehicle. Tilting the
top of the wheel inward provides negative camber.
Tilting the top of the wheel outward provides positive
camber. Incorrect camber will cause wear on the
inside or outside edge of the tire.
• WHEEL TOE POSITION is the difference
between the leading inside edges and trailing inside
edges of the front tires. Incorrect wheel toe position
is the most common cause of unstable steering and
uneven tire wear. The wheel toe position is the final
front wheel alignment adjustment.

Before starting wheel alignment, the following
inspection and necessary corrections must be completed. Refer to Suspension and Steering System
Diagnosis Chart for additional information.
(1) Inspect tires for size and tread wear.
(2) Set tire air pressure.
(3) Inspect front wheel bearings for wear.
(4) Inspect front wheels for excessive radial or lateral runout and balance.
(5) Inspect ball studs, linkage pivot points and
steering gear for looseness, roughness or binding.
(6) Inspect suspension components for wear and
noise.
(7) Road test the vehicle.

STANDARD PROCEDURE
STANDARD PROCEDURES - ALIGNMENT I.F.S.
Before each alignment reading the vehicle should
be jounced (rear first, then front). Grasp each
bumper at the center and jounce the vehicle up and
down several times. Always release the bumper in
the down position. Set the front end alignment to
specifications while the vehicle is in its NORMALLY LOADED CONDITION.
Camber and caster angle adjustments involve
changing the position of the upper suspension arm
pivot bar (Fig. 3). Refer to the Alignment Specification Chart for the correct setting.

inward (toward the engine). Move the front of pivot
bar outward (away from the engine) slightly until
the original camber angle is obtained.
CAMBER: Move the forward position of the pivot
bar in or out. This will change the camber angle significantly and caster angle only slightly. The camber
angle should be adjusted as close as possible to the
preferred service specification. After adjustment
is made tighten pivot bar nuts to specifications.
TOE POSITION: The wheel toe position adjustment should be the final adjustment.
(1) Start the engine and turn wheels both ways
before straightening the wheels. Center and secure
the steering wheel and turn off engine.
(2) Loosen the tie rod adjustment sleeve clamp
bolts/nuts.
NOTE: Each front wheel should be adjusted for
one-half of the total toe position specification. This
will ensure the steering wheel will be centered
when the wheels are positioned straight-ahead.
(3) Adjust the wheel toe position by turning the tie
rod adjustment sleeves as necessary.

opposite direction.
NOTE: For example, to increase a positive caster
angle, move the rear position of the pivot bar

NOTE: To determine the correct caster alignment
angle for Cab-Chassis vehicles the following procedure must be performed.
NOTE: 4x2 11000 GVW has a solid front axle and
uses a 4x4 frame.
(1) Take a height measurement to the center of the
front gauge hole in the frame. Take another measurement to the center of the rear spring hanger bolt
(Fig. 4). Take these measurements on both sides of
the vehicle.
(2) Subtract the front measurement from the rear
measurement and use the average between the right
and left side. Use this number (caster correlation
valve) with the Corrected Caster Chart to obtain the
preferred caster angle.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - ALIGNMENT
LINK/COIL SUSPENSION
Before each alignment reading the vehicle should
be jounced (rear first, then front). Grasp each
bumper at the center and jounce the vehicle up and
down several times. Always release the bumper in
the down position. Set the front end alignment to
specifications while the vehicle is in its NORMALLY LOADED CONDITION.
CAMBER: The wheel camber angle is preset and
is not adjustable.
CASTER: Check the caster of the front axle for
correct angle. Be sure the axle is not bent or twisted.

Road test the vehicle and make left and right turn.
Observe the steering wheel return-to-center position.
Low caster will cause poor steering wheel returnability.
Caster can be adjusted by rotating the cams on the
lower suspension arm (Fig. 5). (Refer to 2 - SUSPENSION/WHEEL ALIGNMENT - STANDARD PROCEDURE).

TOE POSITION: The wheel toe position adjustment should be the final adjustment.
(1) Start the engine and turn wheels both ways
before straightening the wheels. Center and Secure
the steering wheel and turn off engine.
(2) Loosen the adjustment sleeve clamp bolts.
(3) Adjust the right wheel toe position with the
drag link. Turn the sleeve until the right wheel is at
the correct TOE-IN position. Position clamp bolts to
their original position and tighten to specifications.
Make sure the toe setting does not change during clamp tightening.
(4) Adjust left wheel toe position with tie rod at
left knuckle. Turn the sleeve until the left wheel is at
the correct TOE-IN position. Position clamp bolts to
their original position and tighten to specifications.
Make sure the toe setting does not change during clamp tightening.
(5) Verify the right toe setting.

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

REMOVAL
(1) Raise and support vehicle.
(2) Remove shock upper nut and remove retainer
and grommet.
(3) Remove lower mounting bolt from suspension
arm and remove shock (Fig. 5).

CAUTION: Components attached with a nut and cotter pin must be torqued to specification. Then if the
slot in the nut does not line up with the cotter pin
hole, tighten nut until it is aligned. Never loosen the
nut to align the cotter pin hole.
CAUTION: Suspension components with rubber
bushings (except stabilizer bar) should be tightened
with the vehicle at normal height. It is important to
have the springs supporting the weight of the vehicle when the fasteners are torqued. If springs are

not at their normal ride position, vehicle ride comfort could be affected and premature bushing wear
may occur.

DESCRIPTION
The upper and lower suspension arms use bushings to isolate road noise. The suspension arms are
bolted to the frame and axle through the rubber
bushings. The lower suspension arm uses cam bolts
at the axle to allow for caster and pinion angle
adjustment.

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

REAR
DESCRIPTION
The rear suspension is comprised of:
• Shock Absorbers
• Jounce Bumpers
• Stabilizer Bar (optional)
• Leaf Springs
• Drive Axle
CAUTION: A vehicle should always be loaded so
the vehicle weight center-line is located immediately forward of the rear axle. Correct vehicle loading provides proper front tire-to-road contact. This
results in maximum vehicle handling stability and
safety. Incorrect vehicle weight distribution can
cause excessive tire tread wear, spring fatigue or
failure, and erratic steering.
CAUTION: Suspension components with rubber/urethane bushings (except stabilizer bar) should be
tightened with the vehicle at normal ride height. It is
important to have the springs supporting the weight
of the vehicle when the fasteners are torqued. If
springs are not at their normal ride position, vehicle
ride comfort could be affected and premature bushing wear may occur.

inspect for damaged and worn bushings, and attaching components. Repair as necessary if any of these

The spring eye and shock absorber bushings do not
require any type of lubrication. Do not attempt to
stop spring bushing noise by lubricating them.
Grease and mineral oil-base lubricants will deteriorate the bushing rubber.
If the vehicle is used for severe, off-road operation,
the springs should be examined periodically. Check
for broken and shifted leafs, loose and missing clips,
and broken center bolts. Refer to Spring and Shock
Absorber Diagnosis chart for additional information.

PROPELLER SHAFT
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - PROPELLER
SHAFT
VIBRATION
Tires that are out-of-round or wheels that are
unbalanced will cause a low frequency vibration.
(Refer to 22 - TIRES/WHEELS - DIAGNOSIS AND
TESTING)
Brake drums that are unbalanced will cause a
harsh, low frequency vibration. (Refer to 5 - BRAKES
- DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING)

Driveline vibration can also result from loose or
damaged engine mounts.
Propeller shaft vibration increases as the vehicle
speed is increased. A vibration that occurs within a
specific speed range is not usually caused by a propeller shaft being unbalanced. Defective universal
joints or an incorrect propeller shaft angle, are usually the cause of such a vibration.

2) Lack of lubrication.

2) Replace as U-joints as
necessary.

BALANCE
NOTE: Removing and re-indexing the propeller
shaft 180° relative to the yoke may eliminate some
vibrations.
If propeller shaft is suspected of being unbalanced,
it can be verified with the following procedure:
(1) Raise the vehicle.
(2) Clean all the foreign material from the propeller shaft and the universal joints.
(3) Inspect the propeller shaft for missing balance
weights, broken welds and bent areas. If the propeller shaft is bent, it must be replaced.
(4) Inspect the universal joints to ensure that they
are not worn, properly installed and correctly aligned
with the shaft.
(5) Check the universal joint clamp screws torque.
(6) Remove the wheels and tires. Install the wheel
lug nuts to retain the brake drums or rotors.
(7) Mark and number the shaft six inches from the
yoke end at four positions 90° apart.

(8) Run and accelerate the vehicle until vibration
occurs. Note the intensity and speed the vibration
occurred. Stop the engine.
(9) Install a screw clamp at position 1 (Fig. 1).
(10) Start the engine and re-check for vibration. If
there is little or no change in vibration, move the
clamp to one of the other three positions. Repeat the
vibration test.
(11) If there is no difference in vibration at the
other positions, the source of the vibration may not
be propeller shaft.
(12) If the vibration decreased, install a second
clamp (Fig. 2) and repeat the test.
(13) If the additional clamp causes an additional
vibration, separate the clamps (1/2 inch above and
below the mark). Repeat the vibration test (Fig. 3).
(14) Increase distance between the clamp screws
and repeat the test until the amount of vibration is
at the lowest level. Bend the slack end of the clamps
so the screws will not loosen.

(1) Remove dirt, rust, paint and undercoating from
the propeller shaft surface where the dial indicator
will contact the shaft.
(2) The dial indicator must be installed perpendicular to the shaft surface.
(3) Measure runout at the center and ends of the
shaft sufficiently far away from weld areas to ensure
that the effects of the weld process will not enter into
the measurements.
(4) Refer to Runout Specifications chart.
(5) If propeller shaft runout is out of specification,
remove the propeller shaft, index the shaft 180° and
re-install the propeller shaft. Measure shaft runout
again.
(6) If propeller shaft runout is now within specifications, mark the shaft and yokes for proper orientation.
(7) If the propeller shaft runout is not within specifications, verify that the runout of the transmission/
transfer case and axle are within specifications.
Correct as necessary and re-measure propeller shaft
runout.
(8) Replace the propeller shaft if the runout still
exceeds the limits.

ADJUSTMENTS
ADJUSTMENT - CENTER BEARING
Launch shudder is a vibration that occurs at first
acceleration from a stop. Shudder vibration usually
peaks at the engines highest torque output. Shudder is
a symptom associated with vehicles using a two-piece
propeller shaft. To decrease shudder, lower the center
bearing in 1/8 inch increments. Use shim stock or fabricated plates. Plate stock must be used to maintain
compression of the rubber insulator around the bearing.
Do not use washers. Replace the original bolts with the
appropriate increased length bolts.

(4) Set the yoke in an arbor press or vise with a
socket whose inside diameter is large enough to
receive the bearing cap positioned beneath the yoke.

load is set and maintained by the use of a collapsible
spacer. The stamped steel cover provides a means for
inspection and servicing the differential.

OPERATION
The axle receives power from the transfer case
through the front propeller shaft. The front propeller
shaft is connected to the pinion gear which rotates
the differential through the gear mesh with the ring
gear bolted to the differential case. The engine power
is transmitted to the axle shafts through the pinion
mate and side gears. The side gears are splined to
the axle shafts.

FRONT AXLE - 248FBI (Continued)
During straight-ahead driving, the differential pinion gears do not rotate on the pinion mate shaft. This
occurs because input torque applied to the gears is
divided and distributed equally between the two side
gears. As a result, the pinion gears revolve with the
pinion mate shaft but do not rotate around it (Fig. 1).

When turning corners, the outside wheel must
travel a greater distance than the inside wheel to
complete a turn. The difference must be compensated
for to prevent the tires from scuffing and skidding
through turns. To accomplish this, the differential
allows the axle shafts to turn at unequal speeds (Fig.
2). In this instance, the input torque applied to the
pinion gears is not divided equally. The pinion gears
now rotate around the pinion mate shaft in opposite
directions. This allows the side gear and axle shaft
attached to the outside wheel to rotate at a faster
speed.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - AXLE
GEAR NOISE
Axle gear noise can be caused by insufficient lubricant, incorrect backlash, tooth contact, worn/damaged
gears or the carrier housing not having the proper
offset and squareness.
Gear noise usually happens at a specific speed
range. The noise can also occur during a specific type
of driving condition. These conditions are acceleration, deceleration, coast, or constant load.
When road testing, first warm-up the axle fluid by
driving the vehicle at least 5 miles and then accelerate the vehicle to the speed range where the noise is
the greatest. Shift out-of-gear and coast through the

peak-noise range. If the noise stops or changes
greatly:
• Check for insufficient lubricant.
• Incorrect ring gear backlash.
• Gear damage.
Differential side gears and pinions can be checked
by turning the vehicle. They usually do not cause
noise during straight-ahead driving when the gears
are unloaded. The side gears are loaded during vehicle turns. A worn pinion mate shaft can also cause a
snapping or a knocking noise.

BEARING NOISE
The axle shaft, differential and pinion bearings can
all produce noise when worn or damaged. Bearing
noise can be either a whining, or a growling sound.
Pinion bearings have a constant-pitch noise. This
noise changes only with vehicle speed. Pinion bearing
noise will be higher pitched because it rotates at a
faster rate. Drive the vehicle and load the differential. If bearing noise occurs, the rear pinion bearing
is the source of the noise. If the bearing noise is
heard during a coast, the front pinion bearing is the
source.
Worn or damaged differential bearings usually produce a low pitch noise. Differential bearing noise is
similar to pinion bearing noise. The pitch of differential bearing noise is also constant and varies only
with vehicle speed.
Axle shaft bearings produce noise and vibration
when worn or damaged. The noise generally changes
when the bearings are loaded. Road test the vehicle.
Turn the vehicle sharply to the left and to the right.
This will load the bearings and change the noise
level. Where axle bearing damage is slight, the noise
is usually not noticeable at speeds above 30 mph.

FRONT AXLE - 248FBI (Continued)

LOW SPEED KNOCK
Low speed knock is generally caused by a worn
U-joint or by worn side-gear thrust washers. A worn
pinion shaft bore will also cause low speed knock.

All driveline components should be examined
before starting any repair.
(Refer to 22 - TIRES/WHEELS - DIAGNOSIS AND
TESTING)

VIBRATION

DRIVELINE SNAP

Vibration at the rear of the vehicle is usually
caused by:
• Damaged drive shaft.
• Missing drive shaft balance weight(s).
• Worn or out of balance wheels.
• Loose wheel lug nuts.
• Worn U-joint(s).
• Loose/broken springs.
• Damaged axle shaft bearing(s).
• Loose pinion gear nut.
• Excessive pinion yoke run out.
• Bent axle shaft(s).
Check for loose or damaged front end components
or engine/transmission mounts. These components
can contribute to what appears to be a rear end
vibration. Do not overlook engine accessories, brackets and drive belts.

A snap or clunk noise when the vehicle is shifted
into gear (or the clutch engaged) can be caused by:
• High engine idle speed.
• Transmission shift operation.
• Loose engine/transmission/transfer case mounts.
• Worn U-joints.
• Loose spring mounts.
• Loose pinion gear nut and yoke.
• Excessive ring gear backlash.
• Excessive side gear to case clearance.
The source of a snap or a clunk noise can be determined with the assistance of a helper. Raise the vehicle on a hoist with the wheels free to rotate. Instruct
the helper to shift the transmission into gear. Listen
for the noise, a mechanics stethoscope is helpful in
isolating the source of a noise.

Fig. 3 PINION GEAR ID NUMBERS
1 - PRODUCTION NUMBERS
2 - PINION GEAR DEPTH VARIANCE
3 - GEAR MATCHING NUMBER

Compensation for pinion depth variance is
achieved with a select shim/slinger. The shims are
placed between the rear pinion bearing and the pinion gear head (Fig. 4).

ADJUSTMENTS
Ring and pinion gears are supplied as matched sets
only. The identifying numbers for the ring and pinion
gear are etched into the face of each gear (Fig. 3). A
plus (+) number, minus (–) number or zero (0) is etched
into the face of the pinion gear. This number is the
amount (in thousandths of an inch) the depth varies
from the standard depth setting of a pinion etched with
a (0). The standard setting from the center line of the
ring gear to the back face of the pinion is 127 mm (5.00
in.). The standard depth provides the best gear tooth
contact pattern. Refer to Backlash and Contact Pattern
in this section for additional information.

If a new gear set is being installed, note the depth
variance etched into both the original and replacement pinion. Add or subtract this number from the
thickness of the original depth shim/oil slinger to
compensate for the difference in the depth variances.
Refer to the Depth Variance chart.
Note where Old and New Pinion Marking columns
intersect. Intersecting figure represents plus or
minus the amount needed.

Note the etched number on the face of the pinion
gear head (–1, –2, 0, +1, +2, etc.). The numbers represent thousands of an inch deviation from the standard. If the number is negative, add that value to the
required thickness of the depth shims. If the number
is positive, subtract that value from the thickness of
the depth shim. If the number is 0 no change is necessary.

DIFFERENTIAL SIDE BEARING PRELOAD AND
GEAR BACKLASH
Differential side bearing preload and gear backlash
is achieved by selective shims positioned behind the
differential side bearing cones. The proper shim
thickness can be determined using slip-fit Dummy
Bearings D-343 in place of the differential side bearings and a Dial Indicator C-3339. Before proceeding
with the differential bearing preload and gear backlash measurements, measure the pinion gear depth
and prepare the pinion for installation. Establishing
proper pinion gear depth is essential to establishing
gear backlash and tooth contact patterns. After the
overall shim thickness to take up differential side
play is measured, the pinion is installed, and the
gear backlash shim thickness is measured. The overall shim thickness is the total of the dial indicator
reading and the preload specification added together.
The gear backlash measurement determines the
thickness of the shim used on the ring gear side of
the differential case. Subtract the gear backlash shim
thickness from the total overall shim thickness and
select that amount for the pinion gear side of the differential (Fig. 9). Differential shim measurements
are performed with spreader W-129-B removed.

GEAR CONTACT PATTERN
The ring and pinion gear contact patterns will
show if the pinion depth is correct. It will also show
if the ring gear backlash has been adjusted correctly.
The backlash can be adjusted within specifications to
achieve desired tooth contact patterns.
(1) Apply a thin coat of hydrated ferric oxide or
equivalent to the drive and coast side of the ring gear
teeth.
(2) Wrap, twist and hold a shop towel around the
pinion yoke to increase the turning resistance of the
pinion. This will provide a more distinct contact pattern.
(3) With a boxed end wrench on the ring gear bolt,
rotate the differential case one complete revolution in
both directions while a load is being applied from
shop towel.
The areas on the ring gear teeth with the greatest
degree of contact against the pinion teeth will squeegee the compound to the areas with the least amount
of contact. Note and compare patterns on the ring
gear teeth to Gear Tooth Contact Patterns chart (Fig.
20)and adjust pinion depth and gear backlash as necessary.

OPERATION
The shift motor receives a vacuum signal from the
switch mounted on the transfer case when the vehicle operator wants to switch from two wheel drive
mode to four wheel drive mode, or vice versa. When
this signal is received, the shift motor begins to move
the shift fork and collar within the axle housing. In
the four wheel drive mode, the shift collar connects
the axle intermediate shaft to the axle shaft to supply engine power to both front wheels. In two wheel
drive mode, the shift collar is disengaged from the
intermediate shaft and the intermediate shaft is
allowed to free-spin. When the two shafts are disengaged, the load on the engine is reduced, thereby providing better fuel economy and road handling.

REAR AXLE - 248RBI
DESCRIPTION
The Rear Beam-design Iron (RBI) axle housings consist
of an iron center casting (differential housing) with axle
shaft tubes extending from either side. The tubes are
pressed into the differential housing and welded. The
axles are equipped with full-floating axle shafts, meaning
that loads are supported by the axle housing tubes.
The differential case for the standard differentials
and the Trac-lokt differential are a one-piece design.
Differential bearing preload and ring gear backlash
are adjusted by the use of shims located between the
differential bearing cones and case. Pinion bearing
preload is set and maintained by the use of a collapsible spacer. The removable, stamped steel cover provides a means for inspection and service.

through the pinion mate and side gears. The side
gears are splined to the axle shafts.
During straight-ahead driving, the differential pinion gears do not rotate on the pinion mate shaft. This
occurs because input torque applied to the gears is
divided and distributed equally between the two side
gears. As a result, the pinion gears revolve with the
pinion mate shaft but do not rotate around it (Fig. 1).

OPERATION
STANDARD DIFFERENTIAL
The axle receives power from the transmission/
transfer case through the rear propeller shaft. The
rear propeller shaft is connected to the pinion gear
which rotates the differential through the gear mesh
with the ring gear bolted to the differential case. The
engine power is transmitted to the axle shafts

When turning corners, the outside wheel must
travel a greater distance than the inside wheel to
complete a turn. The difference must be compensated
for to prevent the tires from scuffing and skidding
through turns. To accomplish this, the differential
allows the axle shafts to turn at unequal speeds (Fig.
2). In this instance, the input torque applied to the
pinion gears is not divided equally. The pinion gears
now rotate around the pinion mate shaft in opposite
directions. This allows the side gear and axle shaft
attached to the outside wheel to rotate at a faster
speed.

Fig. 2 DIFFERENTIAL ON TURNS
1 - PINION GEARS ROTATE ON PINION SHAFT

TRAC-LOKT DIFFERENTIAL
The differential clutches are engaged by two concurrent forces. The first being the preload force
exerted through Belleville spring washers within the
clutch packs. The second is the separating forces generated by the side gears as torque is applied through
the ring gear (Fig. 3).
This design provides the differential action needed
for turning corners and for driving straight ahead
during periods of unequal traction. When one wheel
looses traction, the clutch packs transfer additional
torque to the wheel having the most traction. The
differential resist wheel spin on bumpy roads and
provide more pulling power when one wheel looses
traction. Pulling power is provided continuously until
both wheels loose traction. If both wheels slip due to
unequal traction, Trac-lokt operation is normal. In
extreme cases of differences of traction, the wheel
with the least traction may spin.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - AXLE
GEAR NOISE
Axle gear noise can be caused by insufficient lubricant, incorrect backlash, incorrect pinion depth, tooth

contact, worn/damaged gears, or the carrier housing
not having the proper offset and squareness.
Gear noise usually happens at a specific speed
range. The noise can also occur during a specific type
of driving condition. These conditions are acceleration, deceleration, coast, or constant load.
When road testing, first warm-up the axle fluid by
driving the vehicle at least 5 miles and then accelerate the vehicle to the speed range where the noise is
the greatest. Shift out-of-gear and coast through the
peak-noise range. If the noise stops or changes
greatly:
• Check for insufficient lubricant.
• Incorrect ring gear backlash.
• Gear damage.
Differential side gears and pinions can be checked
by turning the vehicle. They usually do not cause
noise during straight-ahead driving when the gears
are unloaded. The side gears are loaded during vehi-

3 - 48

REAR AXLE - 248RBI

BR/BE

REAR AXLE - 248RBI (Continued)
cle turns. A worn pinion shaft can also cause a snapping or a knocking noise.

BEARING NOISE
The axle shaft, differential and pinion bearings can
all produce noise when worn or damaged. Bearing
noise can be either a whining, or a growling sound.
Pinion bearings have a constant-pitch noise. This
noise changes only with vehicle speed. Pinion bearing
noise will be higher pitched because it rotates at a
faster rate. Drive the vehicle and load the differential. If bearing noise occurs, the rear pinion bearing
is the source of the noise. If the bearing noise is
heard during a coast, the front pinion bearing is the
source.
Worn or damaged differential bearings usually produce a low pitch noise. Differential bearing noise is
similar to pinion bearing noise. The pitch of differential bearing noise is also constant and varies only
with vehicle speed.
Axle shaft bearings produce noise and vibration
when worn or damaged. The noise generally changes
when the bearings are loaded. Road test the vehicle.
Turn the vehicle sharply to the left and to the right.
This will load the bearings and change the noise
level. Where axle bearing damage is slight, the noise
is usually not noticeable at speeds above 30 mph.

LOW SPEED KNOCK
Low speed knock is generally caused by a worn
U-joint or by worn side–gear thrust washers. A worn
pinion shaft bore will also cause low speed knock.

VIBRATION
Vibration at the rear of the vehicle is usually
caused by a:
• Damaged drive shaft.

• Missing drive shaft balance weight(s).
• Worn or out-of-balance wheels.
• Loose wheel lug nuts.
• Worn U-joint(s).
• Loose/broken springs.
• Damaged axle shaft bearing(s).
• Loose pinion gear nut.
• Excessive pinion yoke run out.
• Bent axle shaft(s).
Check for loose or damaged front-end components
or engine/transmission mounts. These components
can contribute to what appears to be a rearend vibration. Do not overlook engine accessories, brackets
and drive belts.
NOTE: All driveline components should be examined before starting any repair.

DRIVELINE SNAP
A snap or clunk noise when the vehicle is shifted
into gear (or the clutch engaged), can be caused by:
• High engine idle speed.
• Transmission shift operation.
• Loose engine/transmission/transfer case mounts.
• Worn U-joints.
• Loose spring mounts.
• Loose pinion gear nut and yoke.
• Excessive ring gear backlash.
• Excessive side gear to case clearance.
The source of a snap or a clunk noise can be determined with the assistance of a helper. Raise the vehicle on a hoist with the wheels free to rotate. Instruct
the helper to shift the transmission into gear. Listen
for the noise, a mechanics stethoscope is helpful in
isolating the source of a noise.

ADJUSTMENTS
Ring and pinion gears are supplied as matched
sets only. The identifying numbers for the ring and
pinion gear are etched into the face of each gear (Fig.
4). A plus (+) number, minus (–) number or zero (0) is
etched into the face of the pinion gear. This number
is the amount (in thousandths of an inch) the depth
varies from the standard depth setting of a pinion
etched with a (0). The standard setting from the center line of the ring gear to the back face of the pinion
is 127 mm (5.00 in.). The standard depth provides
the best gear tooth contact pattern. Refer to Backlash and Contact Pattern in this section for additional information.
Compensation for pinion depth variance is
achieved with a select shim. The shims are placed
between the rear pinion bearing and the pinion gear
head (Fig. 5).

Fig. 5 SHIM LOCATIONS

2 - DIFFERENTIAL BEARING SHIM

If a new gear set is being installed, note the depth
variance etched into both the original and replacement pinion. Add or subtract this number from the
thickness of the original depth shim/oil slinger to
compensate for the difference in the depth variances.
Refer to the Depth Variance chart.
Note where Old and New Pinion Marking columns
intersect. Intersecting figure represents plus or
minus the amount needed.

Note the etched number on the face of the pinion
gear head (–1, –2, 0, +1, +2, etc.). The numbers represent thousands of an inch deviation from the standard. If the number is negative, add that value to the

required thickness of the depth shims. If the number
is positive, subtract that value from the thickness of
the depth shim. If the number is 0 no change is necessary.

PINION DEPTH MEASUREMENT AND ADJUSTMENT
Measurements are taken with pinion bearing cups
and pinion bearings installed in the housing. Take
measurements with Pinion Gauge Set and Dial Indicator C-3339 (Fig. 6).
(1) Assemble Pinion Height Block 6739, Pinion
Block 6736 and rear pinion bearing onto Screw 6741
(Fig. 6).
(2) Insert assembled height gauge components,
rear bearing and screw into the housing through pinion bearing cups (Fig. 7).
(3) Install front pinion bearing and Cone-nut 6740
hand tight (Fig. 6).
(4) Place Arbor Disc 6732 on Arbor D-115-3 in position in the housing side bearing cradles (Fig. 8).
NOTE: Arbor Discs 6732 has different step diameters to fit other axles. Choose proper step for axle
being serviced.
(5) Install differential bearing caps on arbor discs
and snug the bearing cap bolts. Then cross tighten
cap bolts to 108 N·m (80 ft. lbs.).
(6) Assemble Dial Indicator C-3339 into Scooter
Block D-115-2 and secure set screw.
(7) Position Scooter Block/Dial Indicator flush on
the pinion height block. Hold scooter block and zero
the dial indicator.
(8) Slowly slide the scooter block across the pinion
height block over to the arbor (Fig. 9). Move the

record the highest reading.
(9) Select a shim equal to the dial indicator reading plus the pinion depth variance number etched in
the face of the pinion (Fig. 4). For example, if the
depth variance is –2, add +0.002 in. to the dial indicator reading.

DIFFERENTIAL SIDE BEARING PRELOAD AND
GEAR BACKLASH
Differential side bearing preload and gear backlash
is achieved by selective shims positioned behind the
differential side bearing cones. The proper shim

thickness can be determined using slip-fit Dummy
Bearings D-343 in place of the differential side bearings and a Dial Indicator C-3339. Before proceeding
with the differential bearing preload and gear backlash measurements, measure the pinion gear depth
and prepare the pinion for installation. Establishing
proper pinion gear depth is essential to establishing
gear backlash and tooth contact patterns. After the
overall shim thickness to take up differential side
play is measured, the pinion is installed, and the
gear backlash shim thickness is measured. The overall shim thickness is the total of the dial indicator
reading and the preload specification added together.
The gear backlash measurement determines the
thickness of the shim used on the ring gear side of
the differential case. Subtract the gear backlash shim
thickness from the total overall shim thickness and
select that amount for the pinion gear side of the differential (Fig. 10). Differential shim measurements
are performed with spreader W-129-B removed.

SHIM SELECTION
NOTE: It is difficult to salvage the differential side
bearings during the removal procedure. Install
replacement bearings if necessary.
(1) Remove differential side bearings from differential case.
(2) Remove factory installed shims from differential case.
(3) Install ring gear on differential case and
tighten bolts to specification.
(4) Install dummy side bearings D-343 on differential case.

reading should be between 0.12 mm (0.005 in.) and
0.20 mm (0.008 in.). If backlash is not within specifications transfer the necessary amount of shim thickness from one side of the housing to the other (Fig.
20).
(36) Verify differential case and ring gear runout
by measuring ring to pinion gear backlash at eight
locations around the ring gear. Readings should not
vary more than 0.05 mm (0.002 in.). If readings vary
more than specified, the ring gear or the differential
case is defective.
After the proper backlash is achieved, perform
Gear Contact Pattern Analysis procedure.

GEAR CONTACT PATTERN

Fig. 20 BACKLASH SHIM

The ring and pinion gear contact patterns will
show if the pinion depth is correct. It will also show
if the ring gear backlash has been adjusted correctly.
The backlash can be adjusted within specifications to
achieve desired tooth contact patterns.
(1) Apply a thin coat of hydrated ferric oxide or
equivalent to the drive and coast side of the ring gear
teeth.
(2) Wrap, twist and hold a shop towel around the
pinion yoke to increase the turning resistance of the
pinion. This will provide a more distinct contact pattern.
(3) With a boxed end wrench on the ring gear bolt,
rotate the differential case one complete revolution in
both directions while a load is being applied from
shop towel.
The areas on the ring gear teeth with the greatest
degree of contact against the pinion teeth will squeegee the compound to the areas with the least amount
of contact. Note and compare patterns on the ring
gear teeth to Gear Tooth Contact Patterns chart (Fig.
21)and adjust pinion depth and gear backlash as necessary.

The most common problem is a chatter noise when
turning corners. Before removing the unit for repair,
drain, flush and refill the axle with the specified
lubricant. A container of Mopar Trac-lokt Lubricant
(friction modifier) should be added after repair service or during a lubricant change.
After changing the lubricant, drive the vehicle and
make 10 to 12 slow, figure-eight turns. This maneuver will pump lubricant through the clutches. This
will correct the condition in most instances. If the
chatter persists, clutch damage could have occurred.

REAR AXLE - 267RBI
DESCRIPTION
The Rear Beam-design Iron (RBI) axle housings
consist of an iron center casting (differential housing)
with axle shaft tubes extending from either side. The
tubes are pressed into the differential housing and
welded. The axles are full-floating axle shafts, supported by the axle housing tubes. The full-float shafts
are retained by bolts attached to the hub.
The differential case for the standard differential is
a one-piece design. Differential bearing preload and
ring gear backlash are adjusted by the use of shims
located between the differential bearing cones and
case. Pinion bearing preload is set and maintained by
the use of a solid shims. The differential cover provides a means for inspection and service.
Axles equipped with a Powr-lokt differential are
optional. The differential has a two-piece differential

case. The differential contains four pinion gears and
a two-piece pinion mate cross shaft to provide
increased torque to the non-slipping wheel through a
ramping motion in addition to the standard Trac-lokt
components.

OPERATION
STANDARD DIFFERENTIAL
The axle receives power from the transmission/
transfer case through the rear propeller shaft. The
rear propeller shaft is connected to the pinion gear
which rotates the differential through the gear mesh
with the ring gear bolted to the differential case. The
engine power is transmitted to the axle shafts
through the pinion mate and side gears. The side
gears are splined to the axle shafts.

REAR AXLE - 267RBI (Continued)
During straight-ahead driving, the differential pinion gears do not rotate on the pinion mate shaft. This
occurs because input torque applied to the gears is
divided and distributed equally between the two side
gears. As a result, the pinion gears revolve with the
pinion mate shaft but do not rotate around it (Fig. 1).

2 - PINION GEAR
3 - SIDE GEAR
4 - PINION GEARS ROTATE WITH CASE

When turning corners, the outside wheel must
travel a greater distance than the inside wheel to
complete a turn. The difference must be compensated
for to prevent the tires from scuffing and skidding
through turns. To accomplish this, the differential
allows the axle shafts to turn at unequal speeds (Fig.
2). In this instance, the input torque applied to the
pinion gears is not divided equally. The pinion gears
now rotate around the pinion mate shaft in opposite
directions. This allows the side gear and axle shaft
attached to the outside wheel to rotate at a faster
speed.

POWR-LOKT DIFFERENTIAL
The differential clutches are engaged by two concurrent forces. The first being the preload force
exerted through Belleville spring washers within the
clutch packs. The second is the separating forces generated by the side gears as torque is applied through
the ring gear (Fig. 3).
This design provide the differential action needed
for turning corners and for driving straight ahead
during periods of unequal traction. When one wheel
looses traction, the clutch packs transfer additional
torque to the wheel having the most traction. The
Powr-lokt differential additionally utilizes a ramping
action supplied by the cross shafts to increase the
force applied to the clutch packs to increase the

torque supplied to the non-slipping wheel. The differential resist wheel spin on bumpy roads and provide
more pulling power when one wheel looses traction.
Pulling power is provided continuously until both
wheels loose traction. If both wheels slip due to
unequal traction, operation is normal. In extreme
cases of differences of traction, the wheel with the
least traction may spin.

Axle shaft bearings produce noise and vibration
when worn or damaged. The noise generally changes
when the bearings are loaded. Road test the vehicle.
Turn the vehicle sharply to the left and to the right.
This will load the bearings and change the noise
level. Where axle bearing damage is slight, the noise
is usually not noticeable at speeds above 30 mph.

LOW SPEED KNOCK

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - AXLE
GEAR NOISE
Axle gear noise can be caused by insufficient lubricant, incorrect backlash, incorrect pinion depth, tooth
contact, worn/damaged gears, or the carrier housing
not having the proper offset and squareness.
Gear noise usually happens at a specific speed
range. The noise can also occur during a specific type
of driving condition. These conditions are acceleration, deceleration, coast, or constant load.
When road testing, first warm-up the axle fluid by
driving the vehicle at least 5 miles and then accelerate the vehicle to the speed range where the noise is
the greatest. Shift out-of-gear and coast through the
peak-noise range. If the noise stops or changes
greatly:
• Check for insufficient lubricant.
• Incorrect ring gear backlash.
• Gear damage.
Differential side gears and pinions can be checked
by turning the vehicle. They usually do not cause
noise during straight-ahead driving when the gears
are unloaded. The side gears are loaded during vehicle turns. A worn pinion shaft can also cause a snapping or a knocking noise.

BEARING NOISE
The axle shaft, differential and pinion bearings can
all produce noise when worn or damaged. Bearing
noise can be either a whining, or a growling sound.
Pinion bearings have a constant-pitch noise. This
noise changes only with vehicle speed. Pinion bearing
noise will be higher pitched because it rotates at a
faster rate. Drive the vehicle and load the differential. If bearing noise occurs, the rear pinion bearing
is the source of the noise. If the bearing noise is
heard during a coast, the front pinion bearing is the
source.
Worn or damaged differential bearings usually produce a low pitch noise. Differential bearing noise is
similar to pinion bearing noise. The pitch of differential bearing noise is also constant and varies only
with vehicle speed.

Low speed knock is generally caused by a worn
U-joint or by worn side–gear thrust washers. A worn
pinion shaft bore will also cause low speed knock.

VIBRATION
Vibration at the rear of the vehicle is usually
caused by a:
• Damaged drive shaft.
• Missing drive shaft balance weight(s).
• Worn or out-of-balance wheels.
• Loose wheel lug nuts.
• Worn U-joint(s).
• Loose/broken springs.
• Damaged axle shaft bearing(s).
• Loose pinion gear nut.
• Excessive pinion yoke run out.
• Bent axle shaft(s).
Check for loose or damaged front-end components
or engine/transmission mounts. These components
can contribute to what appears to be a rearend vibration. Do not overlook engine accessories, brackets
and drive belts.
NOTE: All driveline components should be examined before starting any repair.

DRIVELINE SNAP
A snap or clunk noise when the vehicle is shifted
into gear (or the clutch engaged), can be caused by:
• High engine idle speed.
• Transmission shift operation.
• Loose engine/transmission/transfer case mounts.
• Worn U-joints.
• Loose spring mounts.
• Loose pinion gear nut and yoke.
• Excessive ring gear backlash.
• Excessive side gear to case clearance.
The source of a snap or a clunk noise can be determined with the assistance of a helper. Raise the vehicle on a hoist with the wheels free to rotate. Instruct
the helper to shift the transmission into gear. Listen
for the noise, a mechanics stethoscope is helpful in
isolating the source of a noise.

ADJUSTMENTS
Ring and pinion gears are supplied as matched
sets only. The identifying numbers for the ring and
pinion gear are etched onto each gear (Fig. 4). A plus
(+) number, minus (–) number or zero (0) is etched
onto the pinion gear. This number is the amount (in
thousandths of an inch) the depth varies from the
standard depth setting of a pinion etched with a (0).
The standard setting from the center line of the ring
gear to the back face of the pinion is 136.53 mm
(5.375 in.). The standard depth provides the best
gear tooth contact pattern. Refer to Backlash and
Contact Pattern in this section for additional information.
Compensation for pinion depth variance is
achieved with a select shim/oil baffle. The shims are
placed between the rear pinion bearing and the pinion gear head (Fig. 5).
If a new gear set is being installed, note the depth
variance etched into both the original and replacement pinion. Add or subtract this number from the
thickness of the original depth shim/oil slinger to
compensate for the difference in the depth variances.
Refer to the Depth Variance chart.
Note where Old and New Pinion Marking columns
intersect. Intersecting figure represents plus or
minus the amount needed.
Note the etched number on the face of the pinion
gear head (–1, –2, 0, +1, +2, etc.). The numbers represent thousands of an inch deviation from the standard. If the number is negative, add that value to the
required thickness of the depth shims. If the number
is positive, subtract that value from the thickness of
the depth shim. If the number is 0 no change is necessary.

the dial indicator.
(8) Slowly slide the scooter block across the pinion
height block over to the arbor (Fig. 9). Move the
scooter block till dial indicator crests the arbor, then
record the highest reading.
(9) Select a shim/oil baffle equal to the dial indicator reading plus the pinion depth variance number
etched in the face of the pinion (Fig. 4). For example,
if the depth variance is –2, add +0.002 in. to the dial
indicator reading.

together. The gear backlash measurement determines
the thickness of the shim used on the ring gear side of
the differential case. Subtract the gear backlash shim
thickness from the total overall shim thickness and
select that amount for the pinion gear side of the differential (Fig. 10). Differential shim measurements are
performed with spreader W-129-B removed.

DIFFERENTIAL SIDE BEARING PRELOAD AND
GEAR BACKLASH
Differential side bearing preload and gear backlash is
achieved by selective shims positioned behind the differential side bearing cones. The proper shim thickness
can be determined using slip-fit Dummy Bearings D-343
in place of the differential side bearings and a Dial Indicator C-3339. Before proceeding with the differential
bearing preload and gear backlash measurements, measure the pinion gear depth and prepare the pinion for
installation. Establishing proper pinion gear depth is
essential to establishing gear backlash and tooth contact patterns. After the overall shim thickness to take
up differential side play is measured, the pinion is
installed, and the gear backlash shim thickness is measured. The overall shim thickness is the total of the dial
indicator reading and the preload specification added

GEAR CONTACT PATTERN
The ring and pinion gear contact patterns will
show if the pinion depth is correct. It will also show
if the ring gear backlash has been adjusted correctly.
The backlash can be adjusted within specifications to
achieve desired tooth contact patterns.
(1) Apply a thin coat of hydrated ferric oxide or
equivalent to the drive and coast side of the ring gear
teeth.
(2) Wrap, twist and hold a shop towel around the
pinion yoke to increase the turning resistance of the
pinion. This will provide a more distinct contact pattern.

(3) With a boxed end wrench on the ring gear bolt,
rotate the differential case one complete revolution in
both directions while a load is being applied from
shop towel.
The areas on the ring gear teeth with the greatest
degree of contact against the pinion teeth will squeegee the compound to the areas with the least amount
of contact. Note and compare patterns on the ring
gear teeth to Gear Tooth Contact Patterns chart (Fig.
21)and adjust pinion depth and gear backlash as necessary.

case. Outboard protective spacers are located
between the differential bearing cup and housing.
Pinion bearing preload is set and maintained by the
use of shims. Pinion height is controlled by a shim
pack located under the inner pinion bearing cup. The
differential cover provides a means for inspection and
service.
Axles equipped with a Trac-Lokt differential are
optional. The differential contains two clutch packs,
four pinion gears, and a one-piece pinion mate cross
shaft to provide increased torque to the non-slipping
wheel in addition to the standard differential components. A Trac-lokt differential for the has a two-piece
differential case.

DESCRIPTION
The Rear Beam-design Iron (RBI) axle housings
consist of an iron center casting (differential housing)
with axle shaft tubes extending from either side. The
tubes are pressed into the differential housing and
welded. The axles are full-floating axle shafts, that
are supported by the axle housing tubes. The fullfloat axle shafts are retained by bolts attached to the
hub.
The differential case for the standard differential is
a one-piece design. Differential bearing preload and
ring gear backlash are adjusted by the use of shims
located between the differential bearing cones and

OPERATION
STANDARD DIFFERENTIAL
The axle receives power from the transmission/
transfer case through the rear propeller shaft. The
rear propeller shaft is connected to the pinion gear
which rotates the differential through the gear mesh
with the ring gear bolted to the differential case. The
engine power is transmitted to the axle shafts
through the pinion mate and side gears. The side
gears are splined to the axle shafts.
During straight-ahead driving, the differential pinion gears do not rotate on the pinion mate shaft. This
occurs because input torque applied to the gears is
divided and distributed equally between the two side
gears. As a result, the pinion gears revolve with the
pinion mate shaft but do not rotate around it (Fig. 1).

Fig. 1 STRAIGHT AHEAD DRIVING
1 - IN STRAIGHT AHEAD DRIVING EACH WHEEL ROTATES AT
100% OF CASE SPEED
2 - PINION GEAR
3 - SIDE GEAR
4 - PINION GEARS ROTATE WITH CASE

When turning corners, the outside wheel must travel
a greater distance than the inside wheel to complete a
turn. The difference must be compensated for to prevent
the tires from scuffing and skidding through turns. To
accomplish this, the differential allows the axle shafts
to turn at unequal speeds (Fig. 2). In this instance, the
input torque applied to the pinion gears is not divided
equally. The pinion gears now rotate around the pinion
mate shaft in opposite directions. This allows the side
gear and axle shaft attached to the outside wheel to
rotate at a faster speed.

TRAC-LOK™ DIFFERENTIAL
The Trac-lok™ clutches are engaged by two concurrent forces. The first being the preload force exerted
through Belleville spring washers within the clutch
packs. The second is the separating forces generated

Fig. 2 ON TURNS
1 - PINION GEARS ROTATE ON PINION SHAFT

by the side gears as torque is applied through the
ring gear (Fig. 3).
The Trac-lok™ design provides the differential
action needed for turning corners and for driving
straight ahead during periods of unequal traction.
When one wheel looses traction, the clutch packs
transfer additional torque to the wheel having the
most traction. Trac-lok™ differentials resist wheel
spin on bumpy roads and provide more pulling power
when one wheel looses traction. Pulling power is provided continuously until both wheels loose traction. If
both wheels slip due to unequal traction, Trac-lok™
operation is normal. In extreme cases of differences
of traction, the wheel with the least traction may
spin.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - AXLE
GEAR NOISE
Axle gear noise can be caused by insufficient lubricant, incorrect backlash, incorrect pinion depth, tooth
contact, worn/damaged gears, or the carrier housing
not having the proper offset and squareness.
Gear noise usually happens at a specific speed
range. The noise can also occur during a specific type
of driving condition. These conditions are acceleration, deceleration, coast, or constant load.
When road testing, first warm-up the axle fluid by
driving the vehicle at least 5 miles and then accelerate the vehicle to the speed range where the noise is
the greatest. Shift out-of-gear and coast through the
peak-noise range. If the noise stops or changes
greatly:
• Check for insufficient lubricant.
• Incorrect ring gear backlash.
• Gear damage.
Differential side gears and pinions can be checked
by turning the vehicle. They usually do not cause

REAR AXLE - 286RBI

BR/BE

3 - 109

REAR AXLE - 286RBI (Continued)
similar to pinion bearing noise. The pitch of differential bearing noise is also constant and varies only
with vehicle speed.
Axle shaft bearings produce noise and vibration
when worn or damaged. The noise generally changes
when the bearings are loaded. Road test the vehicle.
Turn the vehicle sharply to the left and to the right.
This will load the bearings and change the noise
level. Where axle bearing damage is slight, the noise
is usually not noticeable at speeds above 30 mph.

LOW SPEED KNOCK
Low speed knock is generally caused by a worn
U-joint or by worn side–gear thrust washers. A worn
pinion shaft bore will also cause low speed knock.

noise during straight-ahead driving when the gears
are unloaded. The side gears are loaded during vehicle turns. A worn pinion shaft can also cause a snapping or a knocking noise.

BEARING NOISE
The axle shaft, differential and pinion bearings can
all produce noise when worn or damaged. Bearing
noise can be either a whining, or a growling sound.
Pinion bearings have a constant-pitch noise. This
noise changes only with vehicle speed. Pinion bearing
noise will be higher pitched because it rotates at a
faster rate. Drive the vehicle and load the differential. If bearing noise occurs, the rear pinion bearing
is the source of the noise. If the bearing noise is
heard during a coast, the front pinion bearing is the
source.
Worn or damaged differential bearings usually produce a low pitch noise. Differential bearing noise is

Vibration at the rear of the vehicle is usually
caused by a:
• Damaged drive shaft.
• Missing drive shaft balance weight(s).
• Worn or out-of-balance wheels.
• Loose wheel lug nuts.
• Worn U-joint(s).
• Loose/broken springs.
• Damaged axle shaft bearing(s).
• Loose pinion gear nut.
• Excessive pinion yoke run out.
• Bent axle shaft(s).
Check for loose or damaged front-end components
or engine/transmission mounts. These components
can contribute to what appears to be a rearend vibration. Do not overlook engine accessories, brackets
and drive belts.
NOTE: All driveline components should be examined before starting any repair.

DRIVELINE SNAP
A snap or clunk noise when the vehicle is shifted
into gear (or the clutch engaged), can be caused by:
• High engine idle speed.
• Transmission shift operation.
• Loose engine/transmission/transfer case mounts.
• Worn U-joints.
• Loose spring mounts.
• Loose pinion gear nut and yoke.
• Excessive ring gear backlash.
• Excessive side gear to case clearance.
The source of a snap or a clunk noise can be determined with the assistance of a helper. Raise the vehicle on a hoist with the wheels free to rotate. Instruct
the helper to shift the transmission into gear. Listen
for the noise, a mechanics stethoscope is helpful in
isolating the source of a noise.

ADJUSTMENTS
Ring and pinion gears are supplied as matched
sets only. The identifying numbers for the ring and
pinion gear are etched into the face of each gear (Fig.
4). A plus (+) number, minus (–) number or zero (0) is
etched into the face of the pinion gear. This number
is the amount (in thousandths of an inch) the depth
varies from the standard depth setting of a pinion
etched with a (0). The standard setting from the center line of the ring gear to the back face of the pinion
is 147.625 mm (5.812 in.). The standard depth provides the best teeth contact pattern. Refer to Backlash and Contact Pattern Analysis Paragraph in this
section for additional information.
Compensation for pinion depth variance is
achieved with select shims. The shims are placed
under the inner pinion bearing cone (Fig. 5).

If a new gear set is being installed, note the depth
variance etched into both the original and replacement pinion gear. Add or subtract the thickness of
the original depth shims to compensate for the difference in the depth variances. Refer to the Depth Variance charts.
Note where Old and New Pinion Marking columns
intersect. Intersecting figure represents plus or
minus amount needed.

PINION DEPTH MEASUREMENT AND ADJUSTMENT
Measurements are taken with pinion cups and pinion bearings installed in housing. Take measurements with a Pinion Gauge Set 6730 and Dial
Indicator C-3339 (Fig. 6).
(1) Assemble Pinion Height Block 6739, Pinion
Block 6738 and rear pinion bearing onto Screw 6741
(Fig. 6).
(2) Insert assembled height gauge components,
rear bearing and screw into the housing through pinion bearing cups (Fig. 7).
(3) Install front pinion bearing and Cone 6740
hand tight (Fig. 6).
(4) Place Arbor Disc 6732 on Arbor D-115-3 in position in the housing side bearing cradles (Fig. 8).
Install differential bearing caps on Arbor Discs and
snug the bearing cap bolts. Then tighten cap bolts in
a criss-cross pattern to 108 N·m (80 ft. lbs.).
NOTE: Arbor Discs 6732 have different step diameters to fit other axle sizes. Pick correct size step for
axle being serviced.
(5) Assemble Dial Indicator C-3339 into Scooter
Block D-115-2 and secure set screw.
(6) Position Scooter Block/Dial Indicator flush on
the pinion height block. Hold scooter block and zero
the dial indicator.
(7) Slowly slide the scooter block across the pinion
height block over to the arbor (Fig. 9). Move the
scooter block till dial indicator crests the arbor, then
record the highest reading.

Differential side bearing preload and gear backlash

differential side bearing cones. The proper shim
thickness can be determined using slip-fit dummy
bearings D-346 in place of the differential side bearings and a dial indicator C-3339. Before proceeding
with the differential bearing preload and gear backlash measurements, measure the pinion gear depth
and prepare the pinion gear for installation. Establishing proper pinion gear depth is essential to establishing gear backlash and tooth contact patterns.
After the overall shim thickness to take up differential side play is measured, the pinion gear is
installed, and the gear backlash shim thickness is
measured. The overall shim thickness is the total of
the dial indicator reading and the preload specification added together. The gear backlash measurement
determines the thickness of the shim used on the
ring gear side of the differential case. Subtract the
gear backlash shim thickness from the total overall
shim thickness and select that amount for the pinion
gear side of the differential (Fig. 10). Differential
shim measurements are performed with axle
spreader W-129-B removed.

SHIM SELECTION
NOTE: It is difficult to salvage the differential side
bearings during the removal procedure. Install
replacement bearings if necessary.
(1) Remove differential side bearings from differential case.
(2) Remove factory installed shims from differential case.
(3) Install ring gear on differential case and
tighten bolts to specification, if necessary.

(33) Push and hold ring gear upward while not
allowing the pinion gear to rotate.
(34) Zero dial indicator face to pointer.
(35) Push and hold ring gear downward while not
allowing the pinion gear to rotate. Dial indicator
reading should be between 0.12 mm (0.005 in.) and
0.20 mm (0.008 in.). If backlash is not within specifications transfer the necessary amount of shim thickness from one side of the axle housing to the other
(Fig. 20).
(36) Verify differential case and ring gear runout
by measuring ring to pinion gear backlash at several
locations around the ring gear. Readings should not
vary more than 0.05 mm (0.002 in.). If readings vary
more than specified, the ring gear or the differential
case is defective.
After the proper backlash is achieved, perform
Gear Contact Pattern Analysis procedure.

Fig. 20 BACKLASH SHIM ADJUSTMENT

GEAR CONTACT PATTERN ANALYSIS
The ring gear and pinion teeth contact patterns
will show if the pinion depth is correct in the axle
housing. It will also show if the ring gear backlash
has been adjusted correctly. The backlash can be
adjusted within specifications to achieve desired
tooth contact patterns.
(1) Apply a thin coat of hydrated ferric oxide, or
equivalent, to the drive and coast side of the ring
gear teeth.
(2) Wrap, twist, and hold a shop towel around the
pinion yoke to increase the turning resistance of the
pinion. This will provide a more distinct contact pattern.
(3) Using a boxed end wrench on a ring gear bolt,
Rotate the differential case one complete revolution
in both directions while a load is being applied from
shop towel.
The areas on the ring gear teeth with the greatest
degree of contact against the pinion teeth will squeegee the compound to the areas with the least amount
of contact. Note and compare patterns on the ring
gear teeth to Gear Tooth Contact Patterns chart (Fig.
21)and adjust pinion depth and gear backlash as necessary.

DIFFERENTIAL - TRAC-LOK
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - TRAC-LOKT
The most common problem is a chatter noise when
turning corners. Before removing a Trac-lok™ unit
for repair, drain, flush and refill the axle with the
specified lubricant. A container of Mopar Trac-lok™
Lubricant (friction modifier) should be added after
repair service or during a lubricant change.
After changing the lubricant, drive the vehicle and
make 10 to 12 slow, figure-eight turns. This maneuver will pump lubricant through the clutches. This
will correct the condition in most instances. If the
chatter persists, clutch damage could have occurred.

DIFFERENTIAL TEST

Fig. 35 CASE MARKED

Installer, Brake Caliper Dust Boot C-3716-A

This vehicle is equipped with front disc brakes and
rear drum brakes also certain vehicles have four
wheel disc brakes. The front and rear disc brakes
consist of dual piston calipers and ventilated rotors.
The rear brakes are dual brake shoe, internal
expanding units with cast brake drums. The parking
brake mechanism is cable operated and connected to
the rear brake trailing shoes. Power brake assist is
standard equipment. A vacuum operated power brake
booster is used on gas engine vehicles. A hydraulic
booster is used on diesel engine vehicles.
Two antilock brake systems are used on this vehicle. A rear wheel antilock (RWAL) brake system and
all-wheel antilock brake system (ABS). The RWAL
and ABS systems are designed to retard wheel
lockup while braking. Retarding wheel lockup is
accomplished by modulating fluid pressure to the
wheel brake units. Both systems are monitored by a
microprocessor which controls the operation of the
systems.

CAUTION: Never use gasoline, kerosene, alcohol,
motor oil, transmission fluid, or any fluid containing
mineral oil to clean the system components. These
fluids damage rubber cups and seals. Use only
fresh brake fluid or Mopar brake cleaner to clean or
flush brake system components. These are the only
cleaning materials recommended. If system contamination is suspected, check the fluid for dirt, discoloration, or separation into distinct layers. Also
check the reservoir cap seal for distortion. Drain
and flush the system with new brake fluid if contamination is suspected.
CAUTION: Use Mopar brake fluid, or an equivalent
quality fluid meeting SAE/DOT standards J1703 and
DOT 3. Brake fluid must be clean and free of contaminants. Use fresh fluid from sealed containers
only to ensure proper antilock component operation.
CAUTION: Use Mopar multi-mileage or high temperature grease to lubricate caliper slide surfaces,
drum brake pivot pins, and shoe contact points on
the backing plates. Use multi-mileage grease or GE
661 or Dow 111 silicone grease on caliper slide pins
to ensure proper operation.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - BASE BRAKE
SYSTEM
Base brake components consist of the brake shoes,
calipers, wheel cylinders, brake drums, rotors, brake
lines, master cylinder, booster, and parking brake
components.
Brake diagnosis involves determining if the problem is related to a mechanical, hydraulic, or vacuum
operated component.
The first diagnosis step is the preliminary check.

PRELIMINARY BRAKE CHECK
(1) Check condition of tires and wheels. Damaged
wheels and worn, damaged, or underinflated tires
can cause pull, shudder, vibration, and a condition
similar to grab.
(2) If complaint was based on noise when braking,
check suspension components. Jounce front and rear
of vehicle and listen for noise that might be caused
by loose, worn or damaged suspension or steering
components.
(3) Inspect brake fluid level and condition. Note
that the brake reservoir fluid level will decrease in
proportion to normal lining wear. Also note that
brake fluid tends to darken over time. This is
normal and should not be mistaken for contamination.

(a) If fluid level is abnormally low, look for evidence of leaks at calipers, wheel cylinders, brake
lines, and master cylinder.
(b) If fluid appears contaminated, drain out a
sample to examine. System will have to be flushed
if fluid is separated into layers, or contains a substance other than brake fluid. The system seals
and cups will also have to be replaced after flushing. Use clean brake fluid to flush the system.
(4) Check parking brake operation. Verify free
movement and full release of cables and pedal. Also
note if vehicle was being operated with parking
brake partially applied.
(5) Check brake pedal operation. Verify that pedal
does not bind and has adequate free play. If pedal
lacks free play, check pedal and power booster for
being loose or for bind condition. Do not road test
until condition is corrected.
(6) Check booster vacuum check valve and hose.
(7) If components checked appear OK, road test
the vehicle.

ROAD TESTING
(1) If complaint involved low brake pedal, pump
pedal and note if it comes back up to normal height.
(2) Check brake pedal response with transmission
in Neutral and engine running. Pedal should remain
firm under constant foot pressure.
(3) During road test, make normal and firm brake
stops in 25-40 mph range. Note faulty brake operation such as low pedal, hard pedal, fade, pedal pulsation, pull, grab, drag, noise, etc.
(4) Attempt to stop the vehicle with the parking
brake only and note grab, drag, noise, etc.
PEDAL FALLS AWAY
A brake pedal that falls away under steady foot
pressure is generally the result of a system leak. The
leak point could be at a brake line, fitting, hose, or
caliper/wheel cylinder. If leakage is severe, fluid will
be evident at or around the leaking component.
Internal leakage (seal by-pass) in the master cylinder caused by worn or damaged piston cups, may
also be the problem cause.
An internal leak in the ABS or RWAL system may
also be the problem with no physical evidence.
LOW PEDAL
If a low pedal is experienced, pump the pedal several times. If the pedal comes back up, worn linings,
rotors, drums, or rear brakes out of adjustment are
the most likely causes. The proper course of action is
to inspect and replace all worn component and make
the proper adjustments.

5-6

BRAKES - BASE

BR/BE

HYDRAULIC/MECHANICAL (Continued)
SPONGY PEDAL
A spongy pedal is most often caused by air in the
system. However, thin brake drums or substandard
brake lines and hoses can also cause a spongy pedal.
The proper course of action is to bleed the system,
and replace thin drums and substandard quality
brake hoses if suspected.
HARD PEDAL OR HIGH PEDAL EFFORT
A hard pedal or high pedal effort may be due to
lining that is water soaked, contaminated, glazed, or
badly worn. The power booster or check valve could
also be faulty.
PEDAL PULSATION
Pedal pulsation is caused by components that are
loose, or beyond tolerance limits.
The primary cause of pulsation are disc brake
rotors with excessive lateral runout or thickness variation, or out of round brake drums. Other causes are
loose wheel bearings or calipers and worn or damaged tires.
NOTE: Some pedal pulsation may be felt during
ABS/EBD activation.
BRAKE DRAG
Brake drag occurs when the lining is in constant
contact with the rotor or drum. Drag can occur at one
wheel, all wheels, fronts only, or rears only.
Drag is a product of incomplete brake shoe release.
Drag can be minor or severe enough to overheat the
linings, rotors and drums.
Minor drag will usually cause slight surface charring of the lining. It can also generate hard spots in
rotors and drums from the overheat-cool down process. In most cases, the rotors, drums, wheels and
tires are quite warm to the touch after the vehicle is
stopped.
Severe drag can char the brake lining all the way
through. It can also distort and score rotors and
drums to the point of replacement. The wheels, tires
and brake components will be extremely hot. In
severe cases, the lining may generate smoke as it
chars from overheating.
Common causes of brake drag are:
• Seized or improperly adjusted parking brake
cables
• Loose/worn wheel bearing
• Seized caliper or wheel cylinder piston
• Caliper binding on damaged or missing anti-rattle clips or bushings
• Loose caliper mounting
• Drum brake shoes binding on worn/damaged
support plates
• Mis-assembled components

• Long booster output rod
If brake drag occurs at all wheels, the problem
may be related to a blocked master cylinder return
port, or faulty power booster (binds-does not release).
BRAKE FADE
Brake fade is usually a product of overheating
caused by brake drag. However, brake overheating
and resulting fade can also be caused by riding the
brake pedal, making repeated high deceleration stops
in a short time span, or constant braking on steep
mountain roads. Refer to the Brake Drag information
in this section for causes.
BRAKE PULL
Front brake pull condition could result from:
• Contaminated lining in one caliper
• Seized caliper piston
• Binding caliper
• Loose caliper
• Damaged anti-rattle clips
• Improper brake shoes
• Damaged rotor
A worn, damaged wheel bearing or suspension
component are further causes of pull. A damaged
front tire (bruised, ply separation) can also cause
pull.
A common and frequently misdiagnosed pull condition is where direction of pull changes after a few
stops. The cause is a combination of brake drag followed by fade at one of the brake units.
As the dragging brake overheats, efficiency is so
reduced that fade occurs. Since the opposite brake
unit is still functioning normally, its braking effect is
magnified. This causes pull to switch direction in
favor of the normally functioning brake unit.
An additional point when diagnosing a change in
pull condition concerns brake cool down. Remember
that pull will return to the original direction, if the
dragging brake unit is allowed to cool down (and is
not seriously damaged).
REAR BRAKE GRAB OR PULL
Rear grab or pull is usually caused by improperly
adjusted or seized parking brake cables, contaminated lining, bent or binding shoes and support
plates, or improperly assembled components. This is
particularly true when only one rear wheel is
involved. However, when both rear wheels are
affected, the master cylinder or proportioning valve
could be at fault.
BRAKES DO NOT HOLD AFTER DRIVING THROUGH DEEP
WATER PUDDLES
This condition is generally caused by water soaked
lining. If the lining is only wet, it can be dried by
driving with the brakes very lightly applied for a

BR/BE

BRAKES - BASE

5-7

HYDRAULIC/MECHANICAL (Continued)
mile or two. However, if the lining is both soaked and
dirt contaminated, cleaning and/or replacement will
be necessary.
BRAKE LINING CONTAMINATION
Brake lining contamination is mostly a product of
leaking calipers or wheel cylinders, worn seals, driving through deep water puddles, or lining that has
become covered with grease and grit during repair.
Contaminated lining should be replaced to avoid further brake problems.
WHEEL AND TIRE PROBLEMS
Some conditions attributed to brake components
may actually be caused by a wheel or tire problem.
A damaged wheel can cause shudder, vibration and
pull. A worn or damaged tire can also cause pull.
Severely worn tires with very little tread left can
produce a grab-like condition as the tire loses and
recovers traction. Flat-spotted tires can cause vibration and generate shudder during brake operation. A
tire with internal damage such as a severe bruise,
cut, or ply separation can cause pull and vibration.

BRAKE NOISES
Some brake noise is common with rear drum
brakes and on some disc brakes during the first few
stops after a vehicle has been parked overnight or
stored. This is primarily due to the formation of trace
corrosion (light rust) on metal surfaces. This light
corrosion is typically cleared from the metal surfaces
after a few brake applications causing the noise to
subside.

THUMP/CLUNK NOISE
Thumping or clunk noises during braking are frequently not caused by brake components. In many
cases, such noises are caused by loose or damaged
steering, suspension, or engine components. However,
calipers that bind on the slide surfaces can generate
a thump or clunk noise. In addition, worn out,
improperly adjusted, or improperly assembled rear
brake shoes can also produce a thump noise.

STANDARD PROCEDURE
STANDARD PROCEDURE - MANUAL BLEEDING
Use Mopar brake fluid, or an equivalent quality
fluid meeting SAE J1703-F and DOT 3 standards
only. Use fresh, clean fluid from a sealed container at
all times.
(1) Remove reservoir filler caps and fill reservoir.
(2) If calipers, or wheel cylinders were overhauled,
open all caliper and wheel cylinder bleed screws.
Then close each bleed screw as fluid starts to drip
from it. Top off master cylinder reservoir once more
before proceeding.
(3) Attach one end of bleed hose to bleed screw
and insert opposite end in glass container partially
filled with brake fluid (Fig. 1). Be sure end of bleed
hose is immersed in fluid.

BRAKE SQUEAK/SQUEAL
Brake squeak or squeal may be due to linings that
are wet or contaminated with brake fluid, grease, or
oil. Glazed linings and rotors with hard spots can
also contribute to squeak. Dirt and foreign material
embedded in the brake lining will also cause squeak/
squeal.
A very loud squeak or squeal is frequently a sign of
severely worn brake lining. If the lining has worn
through to the brake shoes in spots, metal-to-metal
contact occurs. If the condition is allowed to continue,
rotors and drums can become so scored that replacement is necessary.
BRAKE CHATTER
Brake chatter is usually caused by loose or worn
components, or glazed/burnt lining. Rotors with hard
spots can also contribute to chatter. Additional causes
of chatter are out-of-tolerance rotors, brake lining not
securely attached to the shoes, loose wheel bearings
and contaminated brake lining.

(4) Open up bleeder, then have a helper press down
the brake pedal. Once the pedal is down close the
bleeder. Repeat bleeding until fluid stream is clear and
free of bubbles. Then move to the next wheel.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - PRESSURE
BLEEDING
Use Mopar brake fluid, or an equivalent quality
fluid meeting SAE J1703-F and DOT 3 standards
only. Use fresh, clean fluid from a sealed container at
all times.
If pressure bleeding equipment will be used, the
front brake metering valve will have to be held open
to bleed the front brakes. The valve stem is located
in the forward end or top of the combination valve.
The stem must either be pressed inward, or held outward slightly. A spring clip tool or helper is needed to
hold the valve stem in position.
Follow the manufacturers instructions carefully
when using pressure equipment. Do not exceed the
tank manufacturers pressure recommendations. Generally, a tank pressure of 15-20 psi is sufficient for
bleeding.
Fill the bleeder tank with recommended fluid and
purge air from the tank lines before bleeding.
Do not pressure bleed without a proper master cylinder adapter. The wrong adapter can lead to leakage, or drawing air back into the system. Use
adapter provided with the equipment or Adapter
6921.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - ISO FLARING
A preformed metal brake tube is recommended and
preferred for all repairs. However, double-wall steel
tube can be used for emergency repair when factory
replacement parts are not readily available.
To make a ISO flare use an ISO flaring tool kit.
(1) Cut off damaged tube with Tubing Cutter.
(2) Remove any burrs from the inside of the tube.
(3) Install tube nut on the tube.
(4) Position the tube in the flaring tool flush with
the top of the tool bar (Fig. 3). Then tighten the tool
bar on the tube.
(5) Install the correct size adaptor on the flaring
tool yoke screw.
(6) Lubricate the adaptor.
(7) Align the adaptor and yoke screw over the tube
(Fig. 3).
(8) Turn the yoke screw in until the adaptor is
squarely seated on the tool bar.

OPERATION
PRESSURE DIFFERENTIAL SWITCH
The switch is triggered by movement of the switch
valve. The purpose of the switch is to monitor fluid
pressure in the separate front/rear brake hydraulic
circuits.
A decrease or loss of fluid pressure in either
hydraulic circuit will cause the switch valve to shuttle forward or rearward in response to the pressure
differential. Movement of the switch valve will push
the switch plunger upward. This closes the switch
internal contacts completing the electrical circuit to
the warning lamp. The switch valve may remain in
an actuated position until repair restores system
pressures to normal levels.

DISC BRAKE CALIPERS
DESCRIPTION
The caliper is a one-piece casting. The piston bores
are located in the inboard side. A square-cut piston
seal is located in a machined groove in the cylinder
bore.
The caliper pistons dust boot prevents dirt, water
and road splash from entering the piston bore. The
boot is seated in a groove machined at the outer end
of the caliper piston. The boot retaining flange is
seated in a counterbore machined in the outer end of
the caliper piston bore.
Ventilated disc brake rotors are used for all applications. The rotors are serviceable and can be
machined to restore surface finish when necessary.

OPERATION
When the brakes are applied fluid pressure is
exerted against the caliper piston. The fluid pressure
is exerted equally and in all directions. This means
pressure exerted against the caliper piston and
within the caliper bore will be equal (Fig. 5).
Fluid pressure applied to the piston is transmitted
directly to the inboard brake shoe. This forces the
shoe lining against the inner surface of the disc
brake rotor. At the same time, fluid pressure within
the piston bore forces the caliper to slide inward on
the mounting bolts. This action brings the outboard
brake shoe lining into contact with the outer surface
of the disc brake rotor.
In summary, fluid pressure acting simultaneously
on both piston and caliper, produces a strong clamping action. When sufficient force is applied, friction
will attempt to stop the rotors from turning and
bring the vehicle to a stop.
Application and release of the brake pedal generates only a very slight movement of the caliper and
piston. Upon release of the pedal, the caliper and piston return to a rest position. The brake shoes do not
retract an appreciable distance from the rotor. In
fact, clearance is usually at, or close to zero. The reasons for this are to keep road debris from getting
between the rotor and lining and in wiping the rotor
surface clear each revolution.
The caliper piston seal controls the amount of piston extension needed to compensate for normal lining
wear.

SEAL
INBOARD SHOE
OUTBOARD SHOE

During brake application, the seal is deflected outward by fluid pressure and piston movement (Fig. 6).
When the brakes (and fluid pressure) are released,
the seal relaxes and retracts the piston.
The amount of piston retraction is determined by
the amount of seal deflection. Generally the amount
is just enough to maintain contact between the piston and inboard brake shoe.

SPECIFICATIONS
BRAKE FLUID

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

STANDARD PROCEDURE - BRAKE FLUID
LEVEL
Always clean the master cylinder reservoir and
caps before checking fluid level. If not cleaned, dirt
could enter the fluid.
The fluid fill level is indicated on the side of the
master cylinder reservoir (Fig. 19).
The correct fluid level is to the FULL indicator on
the side of the reservoir. If necessary, add fluid to the
proper level.

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

FLUID RESERVOIR
REMOVAL
(1) Remove reservoir cap and empty fluid into
drain container.
(2) Clamp cylinder body in vise with brass protective jaws.
(3) Remove pins that retain reservoir to master
cylinder. Use hammer and pin punch to remove pins
(Fig. 20).
(4) Loosen reservoir from grommets with pry tool
(Fig. 21).
(5) Remove reservoir by rocking it to one side and
pulling free of grommets (Fig. 22).
(6) Remove old grommets from cylinder body (Fig.
23).

INSTALLATION
CAUTION: Do not use any type of tool to install the
grommets. Tools may cut, or tear the grommets creating a leak problem after installation. Install the
grommets using finger pressure only.

POWER BRAKE BOOSTER
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - HYDRAULIC
BOOSTER
The hydraulic booster uses hydraulic pressure from
the power steering pump. Before diagnosing a
booster problem, first verify the power steering pump
is operating properly. Perform the following checks.
• Check the power steering fluid level.
• Check the brake fluid level.
• Check all power steering hoses and lines for
leaks and restrictions.
• Check power steering pump pressure.

(2) With the engine off depress the brake pedal
several times to discharge the accumulator. Grasp
the accumulator and see if it wobbles or turns. If it
does the accumulator has lost a gas charge and the
booster must be replaced.

SEAL LEAKAGE
If the booster leaks from any of the seals the
booster assembly must be replaced (Fig. 27).
• INPUT ROD SEAL: Fluid leakage from rear
end of the booster.
• PISTON SEAL: Fluid leakage from vent at
front of booster.
• HOUSING SEAL: Fluid leakage between housing and housing cover.
• SPOOL VALVE SEAL: Fluid leakage near
spool plug.
• RETURN PORT FITTING SEAL: Fluid leakage from port fitting.

NOISES
The hydraulic booster unit will produce certain
characteristic booster noises. The noises may occur
when the brake pedal is used in a manner not associated with normal braking or driving habits.
HISSING
A hissing noise may be noticed when above normal
brake pedal pressure is applied, 40 lbs. or above. The
noise will be more noticeable if the vehicle is not
moving. The noise will increase with the brake pedal
pressure and an increase of system operating temperature.
CLUNK-CHATTER-CLICKING
A clunk-chatter-clicking may be noticed when the
brake pedal is released quickly, after above normal
brake pedal pressure is applied 50-100 lbs..

BOOSTER FUNCTION TEST
With the engine off depress the brake pedal several
times to discharge the accumulator. Then depress the
brake pedal using 40 lbs. of force and start the
engine. The brake pedal should fall and then push
back against your foot. This indicates the booster is
operating properly.

ACCUMULATOR LEAKDOWN
(1) Start the engine, apply the brakes and turn the
steering wheel from lock to lock. This will ensure the
accumulator is charged. Turn off the engine and let
the vehicle sit for one hour. After one hour there
should be at least two power assisted brake application with the engine off. If the system does not retain
a charge the booster must be replaced.

MASTER CYLINDER
DESCRIPTION
A two-piece master cylinder is used on all models.
The cylinder body containing the primary and secondary pistons is made of aluminum. The removable
fluid reservoir is made of nylon reinforced with glass
fiber. The reservoir stores reserve brake fluid for the
hydraulic brake circuits. The reservoir is the only
serviceable component.
The fluid compartments of the nylon reservoir are
interconnected to permit fluid level equalization.
However, the equalization feature does not affect circuit separation in the event of a front or rear brake
malfunction. The reservoir compartments will retain
enough fluid to operate the functioning hydraulic circuit.

OPERATION
The master cylinder bore contains a primary and
secondary piston. The primary piston supplies
hydraulic pressure to the front brakes. The secondary
piston supplies hydraulic pressure to the rear brakes.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - MASTER
CYLINDER/POWER BOOSTER
(1) Start engine and check booster vacuum hose
connections. A hissing noise indicates vacuum leak.
Correct any vacuum leak before proceeding.
(2) Stop engine and shift transmission into Neutral.
(3) Pump brake pedal until all vacuum reserve in
booster is depleted.
(4) Press and hold brake pedal under light foot
pressure. The pedal should hold firm, if the pedal
falls away master cylinder is faulty (internal leakage).
(5) Start engine and note pedal action. It should
fall away slightly under light foot pressure then hold
firm. If no pedal action is discernible, power booster,
vacuum supply, or vacuum check valve is faulty. Proceed to the POWER BOOSTER VACUUM TEST.
(6) If the POWER BOOSTER VACUUM TEST
passes, rebuild booster vacuum reserve as follows:
Release brake pedal. Increase engine speed to 1500
rpm, close the throttle and immediately turn off ignition to stop engine.
(7) Wait a minimum of 90 seconds and try brake
action again. Booster should provide two or more vacuum assisted pedal applications. If vacuum assist is
not provided, booster is faulty.

POWER BOOSTER VACUUM TEST
(1) Connect vacuum gauge to booster check valve
with short length of hose and T-fitting (Fig. 47).
(2) Start and run engine at curb idle speed for one
minute.
(3) Observe the vacuum supply. If vacuum supply
is not adequate, repair vacuum supply.

(4) Clamp hose shut between vacuum source and
check valve.
(5) Stop engine and observe vacuum gauge.
(6) If vacuum drops more than one inch HG (33
millibars) within 15 seconds, booster diaphragm or
check valve is faulty.

PARKING BRAKE
DESCRIPTION
The parking brakes are operated by a system of
cables and levers attached to a primary and secondary shoe positioned within the drum section of the
rotor.
The drum-in-hat design utilizes an independent set
of shoes to park the vehicle (Fig. 51).

OPERATION
To apply the parking brake the pedal is depressed.
This creates tension in the cable which pulls forward
on the park brake lever. The lever pushes the park
brake shoes outward and into contact with the drum
section of the rotor. The contact of shoe to rotor parks
the vehicle.

A torsion locking mechanism is used to hold the
pedal in an applied position. Parking brake release is
accomplished by the hand release.
A parking brake switch is mounted on the parking
brake lever and is actuated by movement of the
lever. The switch, which is in circuit with the red
warning light in the dash, will illuminate the warning light whenever the parking brake is applied.
Parking brake adjustment is controlled by a cable
tensioner mechanism. The cable tensioner, once
adjusted at the factory, should not need further
adjustment under normal circumstances. Adjustment
may be required if a new tensioner, or cables are
installed, or disconnected.

BRAKES - ABS

• ABS Warning Light

DESCRIPTION
The antilock brake system (ABS) is an electronically operated, all wheel brake control system. 2500
and 3500 vehicles have Electronic Brake Distribution
(EBD) designed into the systen which eliminates the
combination/proportioning valve.
The system is designed to prevent wheel lockup
and maintain steering control during periods of high
wheel slip when braking. Preventing lockup is accomplished by modulating fluid pressure to the wheel
brake units.
The hydraulic system is a three channel design.
The front wheel brakes are controlled individually
and the rear wheel brakes in tandem (Fig. 1). The
ABS electrical system is separate from other electrical circuits in the vehicle. A specially programmed
controller antilock brake unit operates the system
components.
ABS system major components include:
• Controller Antilock Brakes (CAB)
• Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU)
• Wheel Speed Sensors (WSS)

BRAKES - ABS (Continued)

OPERATION
Battery voltage is supplied to the CAB when a
speed of 15 miles per hour is reached. The CAB performs a system initialization procedure at this point.
Initialization consists of a static and dynamic self
check of system electrical components.
The static and dynamic checks occurs at ignition
start up. During the dynamic check, the CAB briefly
cycles the pump and solenoids to verify operation. An
audible noise may be heard during this self check.
This noise should be considered normal.
If an ABS component exhibits a fault during initialization, the CAB illuminates the amber warning
light and registers a fault code in the microprocessor
memory.
The CAB monitors wheel speed sensor inputs continuously while the vehicle is in motion. However,
the CAB will not activate any ABS components as
long as sensor inputs indicate normal braking.
During normal braking, the master cylinder, power
booster and wheel brake units all function as they
would in a vehicle without ABS. The HCU components are not activated.
The purpose of the antilock system is to prevent
wheel lockup during periods of high wheel slip. Preventing lockup helps maintain vehicle braking action
and steering control.
The antilock CAB activates the system whenever
sensor signals indicate periods of wheel slip. Periods
of wheel slip occur when brake stops involve high
pedal pressure and rate of vehicle deceleration.
The antilock system prevents lockup during a
wheel slip condition by modulating fluid apply pressure to the wheel brake units.
Brake fluid apply pressure is modulated according
to wheel speed, degree of slip and rate of deceleration. Sensors at each front wheel convert wheel speed
into electrical signals. These signals are transmitted
to the CAB for processing and determination of
wheel slip and deceleration rate.
The ABS system has three fluid pressure control
channels. The front brakes are controlled separately
and the rear brakes in tandem. A speed sensor input
signal indicating a wheel slip condition activates the
CAB antilock program.
There are Two solenoid valves (Isolation and Dump
valve) which are used in each antilock control channel. The valves are all located within the HCU valve
body and work in pairs to either increase, hold, or
decrease apply pressure as needed in the individual
control channels.
During an ABS stop the ISO valve actuates, Stopping anymore pressure build —up to the calipers.
Then the Dump valve dumps off pressure until the
wheel unlocks. This will continue until the wheels
quit slipping altogether.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - ANTILOCK
BRAKES
The ABS brake system performs several self-tests
every time the ignition switch is turned on and the
vehicle is driven. The CAB monitors the systems
input and output circuits to verify the system is operating correctly. If the on board diagnostic system
senses that a circuit is malfunctioning the system
will set a trouble code in its memory.
NOTE: An audible noise may be heard during the
self-test. This noise should be considered normal.
NOTE: The MDS or DRB III scan tool is used to
diagnose the ABS system. For additional information refer to the Antilock Brake section in Group
8W. For test procedures refer to the Chassis Diagnostic Manual.

STANDARD PROCEDURE
STANDARD PROCEDURE - RWAL SERVICE
PRECAUTIONS
The RWAL uses an electronic control module, the
CAB. This module is designed to withstand normal
current draws associated with vehicle operation.
Care must be taken to avoid overloading the CAB
circuits. In testing for open or short circuits, do
not ground or apply voltage to any of the circuits unless instructed to do so for a diagnostic
procedure. These circuits should only be tested
using a high impedance multi-meter or the DRB
tester as described in this section. Power should
never be removed or applied to any control module
with the ignition in the ON position. Before removing
or connecting battery cables, fuses, or connectors,
always turn the ignition to the OFF position.
CAUTION: Use only factory wiring harnesses. Do
not cut or splice wiring to the brake circuits. The
addition of after-market electrical equipment (car
phone, radar detector, citizen band radio, trailer
lighting, trailer brakes, ect.) on a vehicle equipped
with antilock brakes may affect the function of the
antilock brake system.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - BLEEDING ABS

FRONT WHEEL SPEED
SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
The ABS brake system uses 3 wheel speed sensors.
A sensor is mounted to each front steering knuckles.
The third sensor is mounted on top of the rear axle
differential housing.

OPERATION
The Wheel Speed Sensor consists of a magnet surrounded by windings from a single strand of wire.
The sensor sends a small AC signal to the CAB. This
signal is generated by magnetic induction. The magnetic induction is created when a toothed sensor ring
(exciter ring or tone wheel) passes the stationary
magnetic WSS.
When the ring gear is rotated, the exciter ring
passes the tip of the WSS. As the exciter ring tooth
approaches the tip of the WSS, the magnetic lines of
force expand, causing the magnetic field to cut across
the sensor’s windings. This, in turn causes current to
flow through the WSS circuit (Fig. 2) in one direction. When the exciter ring tooth moves away from
the sensor tip, the magnetic lines of force collapse
cutting the winding in the opposite direction. This
causes the current to flow in the opposite direction.
Every time a tooth of the exciter ring passes the tip
of the WSS, an AC signal is generated. Each AC signal (positive to negative signal or sinewave) is interpreted by the CAB. It then compares the frequency of
the sinewave to a time value to calculate vehicle
speed. The CAB continues to monitor the frequency
to determine a deceleration rate that would indicate
a possible wheel-locking tendency.
The signal strength of any magnetic induction sensor is directly affected by:
• Magnetic field strength; the stronger the magnetic field, the stronger the signal
• Number of windings in the sensor; more windings provide a stronger signal
• Exciter ring speed; the faster the exciter ring/
tone wheel rotates, the stronger the signal will be
• Distance between the exciter ring teeth and
WSS; the closer the WSS is to the exciter ring/tone
wheel, the stronger the signal will be
The rear WSS is not adjustable. A clearance specification has been established for manufacturing tolerances. If the clearance is not within these
specifications, then either the WSS or other components may be damaged. The clearance between the
WSS and the exciter ring is 0.005 – 0.050 in.
The assembly plant performs a “Rolls Test” on
every vehicle that leaves the assembly plant. One of
the test performed is a test of the WSS. To properly

test the sensor, the assembly plant connects test
equipment to the Data Link Connector (DLC). This
connector is located to the right of the steering column and attached to the lower portion of the instrument panel (Fig. 3). The rolls test terminal is spliced
to the WSS circuit. The vehicle is then driven on a
set of rollers and the WSS output is monitored for
proper operation.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - REAR WHEEL
SPEED SENSOR
Diagnosis of base brake conditions which are
mechanical in nature should be performed first. This
includes brake noise, lack of power assist, parking
brake, or vehicle vibration during normal braking.
The Antilock brake system performs several selftests every time the ignition switch is turned on and
the vehicle is driven. The CAB monitors the system
inputs and outputs circuits to verify the system is
operating properly. If the CAB senses a malfunction
in the system it will set a DTC into memory and trigger the warning lamp.
NOTE: The MDS or DRB III scan tool is used to
diagnose the Antilock Brake system. For test procedures refer to the Chassis Diagnostic Manual.

HCU (HYDRAULIC CONTROL
UNIT)
DESCRIPTION
The hydraulic control unit (HCU) consists of a
valve body, pump, two accumulators and a motor.
The assembly is mounted on the driverside inner
fender under the hood.

OPERATION
The pump, motor, and accumulators are combined
into an assembly attached to the valve body. The
accumulators store the extra fluid which had to be
dumped from the brakes. This is done to prevent the
wheels from locking up. The pump provides the fluid
volume needed and is operated by a DC type motor.
The motor is controlled by the CAB.
During normal braking, the HCU solenoid valves
and pump are not activated. The master cylinder and
power booster operate the same as a vehicle without
an ABS brake system.
The valve body contains the solenoid valves. The
valves modulate brake pressure during antilock braking and are controlled by the CAB.
The HCU provides three channel pressure control
to the front and rear brakes. One channel controls
the rear wheel brakes in tandem. The two remaining
channels control the front wheel brakes individually.

BRAKES - ABS

BR/BE

5 - 41

HCU (HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT) (Continued)
During antilock braking, the solenoid valves are
opened and closed as needed. The valves are not
static. They are cycled rapidly and continuously to
modulate pressure and control wheel slip and deceleration.
During antilock braking, solenoid valve pressure
modulation occurs in three stages, pressure decrease,
pressure hold, and pressure increase. The valves are
all contained in the valve body portion of the HCU.

PRESSURE DECREASE
The inlet valve is closed and the outlet valve is
opened during the pressure decrease cycle.
A pressure decrease cycle is initiated when speed
sensor signals indicate high wheel slip at one or
more wheels. At this point, the CAB closes the inlet
to prevent the driver from further increasing the
brake pressure and locking the brakes. The CAB
then opens the outlet valve, which also opens the
return circuit to the accumulators. Fluid pressure is
allowed to bleed off (decrease) as needed to prevent
wheel lock.
Once the period of high wheel slip has ended, the
CAB closes the outlet valve and begins a pressure
increase or hold cycle as needed.

REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect battery negative cable.
(2) Push the harness connector locks to release the
locks, then remove the connectors from the CAB.
(3) Disconnect brake lines from HCU (Fig. 7).
(4) Remove the two mounting bolts on either side
of the assembly which attach the assembly to the
mounting bracket.
(5) Tilt the assembly upward were the brake lines
attach and remove the assembly from the mounting
bracket.

PRESSURE HOLD
Both solenoid valves are closed in the pressure
hold cycle. Fluid apply pressure in the control channel is maintained at a constant rate. The CAB maintains the hold cycle until sensor inputs indicate a
pressure change is necessary.

PRESSURE INCREASE
The inlet valve is open and the outlet valve is
closed during the pressure increase cycle. The pressure increase cycle is used to counteract unequal
wheel speeds. This cycle controls re-application of
fluid apply pressure due to changing road surfaces or
wheel speed.

DESCRIPTION
The clutch mechanism consists of a flywheel, drytype disc, diaphragm style pressure plate (Fig. 1) and
hydraulic linkage. The flywheel is bolted to the rear
flange of the crankshaft. The clutch pressure plate is
bolted to the flywheel with the clutch disc between
these two components. The clutch system provides
the mechanical, link between the engine and the
transmission. The system is designed to transfer the
torque output of the engine, to the transmission
while isolating the transmission from the engine firing pulses to minimize concerns such as gear rattle.

OPERATION
When the clutch pedal is depressed, it actuates the
clutch master cylinder. This sends hydraulic pressure
to the clutch slave cylinder. The release fork is then
actuated by the slave cylinder mounted on the transmission housing. The release fork pivots on a ball
stud mounted in the transmission housing and
pushes the release bearing. The release bearing then
depresses the pressure plate spring fingers, thereby
releasing pressure on the clutch disc and allowing
the engine crankshaft to spin independently of the
transmission input shaft (Fig. 2).

WITH A WATER DAMPENED RAGS OR USE A VACUUM CLEANER SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR
REMOVING ASBESTOS FIBERS AND DUST. DO NOT
CREATE DUST BY SANDING A CLUTCH DISC.
REPLACE THE DISC IF THE FRICTION MATERIAL IS
DAMAGED OR CONTAMINATED. DISPOSE OF ALL
DUST AND DIRT CONTAINING ASBESTOS FIBERS
IN SEALED BAGS OR CONTAINERS. THIS WILL
HELP MINIMIZE EXPOSURE TO YOURSELF AND TO
OTHERS. FOLLOW ALL RECOMMENDED SAFETY
PRACTICES PRESCRIBED BY THE OCCUPATIONAL
SAFETY AND HEALTH ADMINISTRATION (OSHA)
AND THE ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY AGENCY
(EPA), FOR THE HANDLING AND DISPOSAL OF
PRODUCTS CONTAINING ASBESTOS.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - CLUTCH
A road test and component inspection (Fig. 3) is
recommended to determine a clutch problem.
During a road test, drive the vehicle at normal
speeds. Shift the transmission through all gear
ranges and observe clutch action. If the clutch chatters, grabs, slips or does not release properly, remove
and inspect the clutch components. If the problem is
noise or hard shifting, further diagnosis may be
needed as the transmission or another driveline component may be at fault.

Fluid contamination is a frequent cause of clutch
malfunctions. Oil, water or clutch fluid on the clutch
disc and pressure plate surfaces will cause chatter,
slip and grab.
During inspection, note if any components are contaminated with oil, hydraulic fluid or water/road
splash.
Oil contamination indicates a leak at either the
rear main seal or transmission input shaft. Oil leakage produces a residue of oil on the housing interior
and on the clutch cover and flywheel. Heat buildup
caused by slippage between the cover, disc and flywheel, can sometimes bake the oil residue onto the
components. The glaze-like residue ranges in color
from amber to black.
Road splash contamination means dirt/water is
entering the clutch housing due to loose bolts, housing cracks or through hydraulic line openings. Driving through deep water puddles can force water/road
splash into the housing through such openings.
Clutch fluid leaks are usually from damaged slave
cylinder push rod seals.

IMPROPER RELEASE OR CLUTCH ENGAGEMENT

CLUTCH COVER AND DISC RUNOUT

Clutch release or engagement problems are caused
by wear or damage to one or more clutch components. A visual inspection of the release components
will usually reveal the problem part.
Release problems can result in hard shifting and
noise. Items to look for are: leaks at the clutch cylinders and interconnecting line; loose slave cylinder
bolts; worn/loose release fork and pivot stud; damaged release bearing; and a worn clutch disc, or pressure plate.
Normal condensation in vehicles that are stored or
out of service for long periods of time can generate
enough corrosion to make the disc stick to the flywheel, or pressure plate. If this condition is experienced, correction only requires that the disc be
loosened manually through the inspection plate opening.
Engagement problems usually result in slip, chatter/shudder, and noisy operation. The primary causes
are clutch disc contamination; clutch disc wear; misalignment, or distortion; flywheel damage; or a combination of the foregoing. A visual inspection is
required to determine the part actually causing the
problem.

Check the clutch disc before installation. Axial
(face) runout of a new disc should not exceed 0.50
mm (0.020 in.). Measure runout about 6 mm (1/4 in.)
from the outer edge of the disc facing. Obtain
another disc if runout is excessive.
Check condition of the clutch before installation. A
warped cover or diaphragm spring will cause grab
and incomplete release or engagement. Be careful
when handling the cover and disc. Impact can distort
the cover, diaphragm spring, release fingers and the
hub of the clutch disc.
Use an alignment tool when positioning the disc on
the flywheel. The tool prevents accidental misalignment which could result in cover distortion and disc
damage.
A frequent cause of clutch cover distortion (and
consequent misalignment) is improper bolt tightening.

CLUTCH MISALIGNMENT
Clutch components must be in proper alignment
with the crankshaft and transmission input shaft.
Misalignment caused by excessive runout or warpage
of any clutch component will cause grab, chatter and
improper clutch release.

DIAGNOSIS CHART

In severe cases, it can cause premature wear of the
transmission input shaft and front bearing.
NOTE: Only the NV4500 clutch housing can be
checked using the following bore and face runout
procedures. The NV5600 clutch housing is a integral part of the transmission and can only be
checked off the vehicle.

Fig. 13 MEASUREMENT POINTS AND READINGS
1 - CLUTCH HOUSING BORE CIRCLE

(9) Subtract each reading from the one 180° opposite to determine runout and direction. Bore runout
example (Fig. 13):
• 0.000 – (–0.007) = 0.007 in.
• +0.002 – (–0.010) = 0.012 in.
• +0.004 – (–0.005) = 0.009 in.
• –0.001 – (+0.001) = –0.002 in.
In this example the largest or total indicator reading (TIR) difference is 0.012 inch. This means the
housing bore is offset from the crankshaft centerline
by 0.006 in. which is 1/2 of 0.012 inch. The dowels
needed to correct this have an offset of 0.007 in. (Fig.
14).
Remove housing and install dowels with the slotted
side facing out so they can be turned with a screwdriver. Then install the housing and mount the dial
indicator and check bore runout again. Rotate the
dowels until the TIR is less than 0.010 inch.

(2) Install release fork and release bearing (Fig.

clips. Also be sure that the release fork is installed
properly.
NOTE: The rear side of the release lever has one
end with a raised area. This raised area goes
toward the slave cylinder side of the transmission.

Check flywheel runout whenever misalignment is
suspected. Flywheel runout should not exceed 0.08
mm (0.003 in.). Measure runout at the outer edge of
the flywheel face with a dial indicator. Mount the
indicator on a stud installed in place of one of the flywheel bolts.
Common causes of runout are:
• heat warpage
• improper machining
• incorrect bolt tightening
• improper seating on crankshaft flange shoulder
• foreign material on crankshaft flange
Flywheel machining is not recommended. The flywheel clutch surface is machined to a unique contour
and machining will negate this feature. Minor flywheel scoring can be cleaned up by hand with 180
grit emery or with surface grinding equipment.
Remove only enough material to reduce scoring
(approximately 0.001 - 0.003 in.). Heavy stock
removal is not recommended. Replace the flywheel
if scoring is severe and deeper than 0.076 mm (0.003
in.). Excessive stock removal can result in flywheel
cracking or warpage after installation; it can also
weaken the flywheel and interfere with proper clutch
release.
Clean the crankshaft flange before mounting the
flywheel. Dirt and grease on the flange surface may
cock the flywheel causing excessive runout. Use new
bolts when remounting a flywheel and secure the
bolts with Mopar Lock And Seal or equivalent.
Tighten flywheel bolts to specified torque only. Overtightening can distort the flywheel hub causing
runout.

wheel. Then complete removal with a cold chisel or
punch.

ASSEMBLY
NOTE: The ring gear is a shrink fit on the flywheel.
This means the gear must be expanded by heating
in order to install it. The method of heating and
expanding the gear is extremely important. Every
surface of the gear must be heated at the same
time to produce uniform expansion. An oven or
similar enclosed heating device must be used. Temperature required for uniform expansion is approximately 375° F.

PILOT BEARING
REMOVAL
(1) Remove transmission, transfer case, if
equipped and clutch housing. Refer to 21 Transmission and Transfer Case for procedures.
(2) Remove pressure plate and disc.
(3) Using a suitable blind hole puller to remove
pilot bearing.

INSTALLATION
(1) Clean bearing bore with solvent and wipe dry
with shop towel.
(2) Install new bearing with clutch alignment tool
(Fig. 22). Keep bearing straight and tap bearing into
place until flush with edge of bearing bore. Do not
recess bearing.

CAUTION: Do not use an oxy/acetylene torch to
remove the old gear, or to heat and expand a new
gear. The high temperature of the torch flame can
cause localized heating that will damage the flywheel. In addition, using the torch to heat a replacement gear will cause uneven heating and
expansion. The torch flame can also anneal the
gear teeth resulting in rapid wear and damage after
installation.
WARNING: WEAR PROTECTIVE GOGGLES OR
SAFETY GLASSES AND HEAT RESISTENT GLOVES
WHEN HANDLING A HEATED RING GEAR.
(1) The heated gear must be installed evenly to
avoid misalignment or distortion.
(2) Position and install the heated ring gear on the
flywheel with a shop press and a suitable press
plates.
(3) Place flywheel on work bench and let it cool in
normal shop air. Allow the ring gear to cool down
completely before installation it on the engine.
CAUTION: Do not use water or compressed air to
cool the flywheel. The rapid cooling produced by
water or compressed air will distort or crack the
new gear.

DESCRIPTION—HOSE CLAMPS
The cooling system utilizes both worm drive and
spring type hose clamps. If a spring type clamp
replacement is necessary, replace with the original
Mopart equipment spring type clamp.
CAUTION: A number or letter is stamped into the
tongue of constant tension clamps. If replacement
is necessary, use only a original equipment clamp
with matching number or letter (Fig. 4).

age will provide additional cooling capacity for
vehicles used under extreme conditions such as
trailer towing in high ambient temperatures.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - PRELIMINARY
CHECKS
ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM OVERHEATING
Establish what driving conditions caused the complaint. Abnormal loads on the cooling system such as
the following may be the cause:
• PROLONGED IDLE
• VERY HIGH AMBIENT TEMPERATURE
• SLIGHT TAIL WIND AT IDLE
• SLOW TRAFFIC
• TRAFFIC JAMS
• HIGH SPEED OR STEEP GRADES
Driving techniques that avoid overheating are:
• Idle with A/C off when temperature gauge is at
end of normal range.
• Increasing engine speed for more air flow is recommended.

Fig. 4 Spring Clamp Size Location
1 - SPRING CLAMP SIZE LOCATION

OPERATION
OPERATION—HOSE CLAMPS
The worm type hose clamp uses a specified torque
value to maintain proper tension on a hose connection.
The spring type hose clamp applies constant tension on a hose connection. To remove a spring type
hose clamp, only use constant tension clamp pliers
designed to compress the hose clamp.

OPERATION—COOLING SYSTEM
The cooling system regulates engine operating temperature. It allows the engine to reach normal operating temperature as quickly as possible. It also
maintains normal operating temperature and prevents overheating.
The cooling system also provides a means of heating the passenger compartment and cooling the automatic transmission fluid (if equipped). The cooling
system is pressurized and uses a centrifugal water
pump to circulate coolant throughout the system.
An optional factory installed maximum duty cooling package is available on most models. This pack-

TRAILER TOWING:
Consult Trailer Towing section of owners manual.
Do not exceed limits.
AIR CONDITIONING; ADD-ON OR AFTER MARKET:
A maximum cooling package should have been
ordered with vehicle if add-on or after market A/C is
installed. If not, maximum cooling system components should be installed for model involved per
manufacturer’s specifications.
RECENT SERVICE OR ACCIDENT REPAIR:
Determine if any recent service has been performed on vehicle that may effect cooling system.
This may be:
• Engine adjustments (incorrect timing)
• Slipping engine accessory drive belt(s)
• Brakes (possibly dragging)
• Changed parts. Incorrect water pump or pump
rotating in wrong direction due to belt not correctly
routed
• Reconditioned radiator or cooling system refilling (possibly under filled or air trapped in system).
NOTE: If investigation reveals none of the previous
items as a cause for an engine overheating complaint, (Refer to 7 - COOLING - DIAGNOSIS AND

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING—ON-BOARD
DIAGNOSTICS (OBD)
COOLING SYSTEM RELATED DIAGNOSTICS
The powertrain control module (PCM) has been
programmed to monitor certain cooling system components:
• If the engine has remained cool for too long a
period, such as with a stuck open thermostat, a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) can be set.
• If an open or shorted condition has developed in
the relay circuit controlling the electric radiator fan,
a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) can be set.
If the problem is sensed in a monitored circuit
often enough to indicated an actual problem, a DTC
is stored. The DTC will be stored in the PCM memory for eventual display to the service technician.
(Refer to 25 - EMISSIONS CONTROL - DESCRIPTION).

ACCESSING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
To read DTC’s and to obtain cooling system data,
(Refer to 25 - EMISSIONS CONTROL - DESCRIPTION).

ERASING TROUBLE CODES
After the problem has been repaired, use the DRB
scan tool to erase a DTC. Refer to the appropriate
Powertrain Diagnostic Procedures service information for operation of the DRB scan tool.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - COOLING SYSTEM
LEAKS
ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT METHOD
A leak detection additive is available through the
parts department that can be added to cooling system. The additive is highly visible under ultraviolet
light (black light). Pour one ounce of additive into
cooling system. Place heater control unit in HEAT
position. Start and operate engine until radiator
upper hose is warm to touch. Aim the commercially
available black light tool at components to be
checked. If leaks are present, black light will cause
additive to glow a bright green color.
The black light can be used in conjunction with a
pressure tester to determine if any external leaks
exist (Fig. 5).

PRESSURE TESTER METHOD
The engine should be at normal operating temperature. Recheck the system cold if cause of coolant
loss is not located during the warm engine examination.

Fig. 5 Leak Detection Using Black Light—Typical
1 - TYPICAL BLACK LIGHT TOOL

WARNING: HOT, PRESSURIZED COOLANT CAN
CAUSE INJURY BY SCALDING.
Carefully remove radiator pressure cap from filler
neck and check coolant level. Push down on cap to
disengage it from stop tabs. Wipe inside of filler neck
and examine lower inside sealing seat for nicks,
cracks, paint, dirt and solder residue. Inspect radiator-to- reserve/overflow tank hose for internal
obstructions. Insert a wire through the hose to be
sure it is not obstructed.
Inspect cams on outside of filler neck. If cams are
damaged, seating of pressure cap valve and tester
seal will be affected.
Attach pressure tester (7700 or an equivalent) to
radiator filler neck (Fig. 6).
Operate tester pump to apply 103.4 kPa (15 psi)
pressure to system. If hoses enlarge excessively or
bulges while testing, replace as necessary. Observe
gauge pointer and determine condition of cooling system according to following criteria:
Holds Steady: If pointer remains steady for two
minutes, serious coolant leaks are not present in system. However, there could be an internal leak that
does not appear with normal system test pressure. If
it is certain that coolant is being lost and leaks cannot be detected, inspect for interior leakage or perform Internal Leakage Test.
Drops Slowly: Indicates a small leak or seepage
is occurring. Examine all connections for seepage or
slight leakage with a flashlight. Inspect radiator,

hoses, gasket edges and heater. Seal small leak holes
with a Sealer Lubricant (or equivalent). Repair leak
holes and inspect system again with pressure
applied.
Drops Quickly: Indicates that serious leakage is
occurring. Examine system for external leakage. If
leaks are not visible, inspect for internal leakage.
Large radiator leak holes should be repaired by a
reputable radiator repair shop.

INTERNAL LEAKAGE INSPECTION
Remove engine oil pan drain plug and drain a
small amount of engine oil. If coolant is present in
the pan, it will drain first because it is heavier than
oil. An alternative method is to operate engine for a
short period to churn the oil. After this is done,
remove engine dipstick and inspect for water globules. Also inspect transmission dipstick for water
globules and transmission fluid cooler for leakage.
WARNING: WITH RADIATOR PRESSURE TESTER
TOOL INSTALLED ON RADIATOR, DO NOT ALLOW
PRESSURE TO EXCEED 110 KPA (20 PSI). PRESSURE WILL BUILD UP QUICKLY IF A COMBUSTION
LEAK IS PRESENT. TO RELEASE PRESSURE,
ROCK TESTER FROM SIDE TO SIDE. WHEN
REMOVING TESTER, DO NOT TURN TESTER MORE
THAN 1/2 TURN IF SYSTEM IS UNDER PRESSURE.
Operate engine without pressure cap on radiator
until thermostat opens. Attach a Pressure Tester to
filler neck. If pressure builds up quickly it indicates a

combustion leak exists. This is usually the result of a
cylinder head gasket leak or crack in engine. Repair
as necessary.
If there is not an immediate pressure increase,
pump the Pressure Tester. Do this until indicated
pressure is within system range of 110 kPa (16 psi).
Fluctuation of gauge pointer indicates compression or
combustion leakage into cooling system.
Because the vehicle is equipped with a catalytic
converter, do not remove spark plug cables or short
out cylinders to isolate compression leak.
If the needle on dial of pressure tester does not
fluctuate, race engine a few times to check for an
abnormal amount of coolant or steam. This would be
emitting from exhaust pipe. Coolant or steam from
exhaust pipe may indicate a faulty cylinder head gasket, cracked engine cylinder block or cylinder head.
A convenient check for exhaust gas leakage into
cooling system is provided by a commercially available Block Leak Check tool. Follow manufacturers
instructions when using this product.

COMBUSTION LEAKAGE TEST - WITHOUT
PRESSURE TESTER
DO NOT WASTE reusable coolant. If solution is
clean, drain coolant into a clean container for reuse.
WARNING: DO NOT REMOVE CYLINDER BLOCK
DRAIN PLUGS OR LOOSEN RADIATOR DRAINCOCK WITH SYSTEM HOT AND UNDER PRESSURE.
SERIOUS BURNS FROM COOLANT CAN OCCUR.
Drain sufficient coolant to allow thermostat
removal. (Refer to 7 - COOLING/ENGINE/ENGINE
COOLANT THERMOSTAT - REMOVAL). Remove
accessory drive belt (Refer to 7 - COOLING/ACCESSORY DRIVE/DRIVE BELTS - REMOVAL).
Add coolant to radiator to bring level to within 6.3
mm (1/4 in) of top of thermostat housing.
CAUTION: Avoid overheating. Do not operate
engine for an excessive period of time. Open draincock immediately after test to eliminate boil over.
Start engine and accelerate rapidly three times, to
approximately 3000 rpm while observing coolant. If
internal engine combustion gases are leaking into
cooling system, bubbles will appear in coolant. If bubbles do not appear, internal combustion gas leakage
is not present.

tank may drop below the ADD mark after three or
four warm-up and cool-down cycles.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - ADDING
ADDITIONAL COOLANT
The use of aluminum cylinder blocks, cylinder
heads and water pumps requires special corrosion
protection. Only Mopart Antifreeze/Coolant, 5
Year/100,000 Mile Formula (glycol base coolant with
corrosion inhibitors called HOAT, for Hybrid Organic
Additive Technology) is recommended. This coolant
offers the best engine cooling without corrosion when
mixed with 50% distilled water to obtain to obtain a
freeze point of -37°C (-35°F). If it loses color or
becomes contaminated, drain, flush, and replace with
fresh properly mixed coolant solution.
CAUTION: Do not use coolant additives that are
claimed to improve engine cooling.

STANDARD PROCEDURE—COOLANT LEVEL

NOTE: Do not remove radiator cap for routine coolant level inspections. The coolant level can be
checked at coolant recovery bottle.

STANDARD PROCEDURE—REFILLING
COOLING SYSTEM 5.9L DIESEL ENGINE
Clean cooling system prior to refilling (Refer to 7 COOLING - STANDARD PROCEDURE).
(1) Close radiator drain plug.
CAUTION: Due to the use of the one-way check
valve, the engine must not be operating when refilling the cooling system.
NOTE: The diesel engine is equipped with a oneway check valve (jiggle pin). The check valve is
used as a servicing feature and will vent air when
the system is being filled. Water pressure (or flow)
will hold the valve closed.
(2) Fill the cooling system with a 50/50 mixture of
water and antifreeze.
(3) Fill coolant reserve/overflow tank to the FULL
mark.
(4) Start and operate engine until thermostat
opens. Upper radiator hose should be warm to touch.
(5) If necessary, add 50/50 water and antifreeze
mixture to the coolant reserve/overflow tank to maintain coolant level. This level should be between the
ADD and FULL marks. The level in the reserve/overflow tank may drop below the ADD mark after three
or four warm-up and cool-down cycles.

COOLING (Continued)
The coolant reserve/overflow system provides a
quick method for determining coolant level without
removing radiator pressure cap. With engine not running, open the coolant recovery bottle cap and
remove coolant level indicator dipstick to observe
coolant level in coolant recovery bottle. The coolant
level should be between ADD and FULL marks. If
the coolant level is at or below the ADD mark, fill
the recovery bottle with a 50/50 mixture of antifreeze
and water ONE QUART AT A TIME. Repeat this procedure until the coolant level is at the FULL mark
(Fig. 8).

STANDARD PROCEDURE - COOLING SYSTEM
CLEANING/REVERSE FLUSHING
CLEANING
Drain cooling system and refill with water. Run
engine with radiator cap installed until upper radiator hose is hot. Stop engine and drain water from
system. If water is dirty, fill system with water, run
engine and drain system. Repeat until water drains
clean.

REVERSE FLUSHING
Reverse flushing of cooling system is the forcing of
water through the cooling system. This is done using
air pressure in the opposite direction of normal coolant flow. It is usually only necessary with very dirty
systems with evidence of partial plugging.

REVERSE FLUSHING RADIATOR
Disconnect radiator hoses from radiator inlet and
outlet. Attach a section of radiator hose to radiator
bottom outlet fitting and insert flushing gun. Connect a water supply hose and air supply hose to
flushing gun.
CAUTION: Internal radiator pressure must not
exceed 138 kPa (20 psi) as damage to radiator may
result.
Allow radiator to fill with water. When radiator is
filled, apply air in short blasts. Allow radiator to
refill between blasts. Continue this reverse flushing
until clean water flows out through rear of radiator
cooling tube passages. Have radiator cleaned more
extensively by a radiator repair shop.

REVERSE FLUSHING ENGINE
Drain cooling system. Remove thermostat housing
and thermostat. Install thermostat housing. Disconnect radiator upper hose from radiator and attach
flushing gun to hose. Disconnect radiator lower hose
from water pump and attach a lead-away hose to
water pump inlet fitting.
CAUTION: On vehicles equipped with a heater water
control valve, be sure heater control valve is closed
(heat off). This will prevent coolant flow with scale
and other deposits from entering heater core.
Connect water supply hose and air supply hose to
flushing gun. Allow engine to fill with water. When
engine is filled, apply air in short blasts, allowing
system to fill between air blasts. Continue until clean
water flows through the lead away hose.
Remove lead away hose, flushing gun, water supply hose and air supply hose. Remove thermostat
housing and install thermostat. Install thermostat
housing with a replacement gasket. Refer to Thermostat Replacement. Connect radiator hoses. Refill cooling system with correct antifreeze/water mixture.
Refer to Refilling the Cooling System.

CHEMICAL CLEANING
In some instances, use a radiator cleaner (Mopar
Radiator Kleen or equivalent) before flushing. This
will soften scale and other deposits and aid flushing
operation.
CAUTION: Follow manufacturers instructions when
using these products.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - COOLANT
SELECTION - ADDITIVES
The use of aluminum cylinder blocks, cylinder
heads and water pumps requires special corrosion
protection. Only Mopart Antifreeze/Coolant, 5
Year/100,000 Mile Formula (glycol base coolant with

BELT TENSIONERS - 5.9L
DESCRIPTION
Correct drive belt tension is required to ensure
optimum performance of the belt driven engine accessories. If specified tension is not maintained, belt
slippage may cause; engine overheating, lack of
power steering assist, loss of air conditioning capacity, reduced generator output rate, and greatly
reduced belt life.
It is not necessary to adjust belt tension on the
5.9L engines. These engines are equipped with an
automatic belt tensioner (Fig. 1). The tensioner maintains correct belt tension at all times. Due to use of
this belt tensioner, do not attempt to use a belt tension gauge on 5.9L engines.

OPERATION
The automatic belt tensioner maintains belt tension by using internal spring pressure, a pivoting
arm and pulley to press against the drive belt.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - ACCESSORY
DRIVE BELT
VISUAL DIAGNOSIS
When diagnosing serpentine accessory drive belts,
small cracks that run across the ribbed surface of the
belt from rib to rib (Fig. 11), are considered normal.
These are not a reason to replace the belt. However,
cracks running along a rib (not across) are not normal. Any belt with cracks running along a rib must
be replaced (Fig. 11). Also replace the belt if it has
excessive wear, frayed cords or severe glazing.
Refer to ACCESSORY DRIVE BELT DIAGNOSIS
CHART for further belt diagnosis.

NOISE DIAGNOSIS
Noises generated by the accessory drive belt are
most noticeable at idle. Before replacing a belt to
resolve a noise condition, inspect all of the accessory
drive pulleys for alignment, glazing, or excessive end
play.

The vacuum pump and the power steering pump
are combined into a single assembly on diesel engine
models (Fig. 23). Both pumps are operated by a drive
gear attached to the vacuum pump shaft. The shaft
gear is driven by the camshaft gear.
The vacuum pump is a constant displacement,
vane-type pump. Vacuum is generated by four vanes
mounted in the pump rotor. The rotor is located in
the pump housing and is pressed onto the pump
shaft.
The vacuum and steering pumps are operated by a
single drive gear pressed onto the vacuum pump
shaft. The drive gear is operated by the engine camshaft gear.
The vacuum and power steering pump shafts are
connected by a coupling. Each pump shaft has an
adapter with drive lugs that engage in the coupling.
The vacuum pump rotating components are lubricated by engine oil. Lubricating oil is supplied to the
pump through an oil line at the underside of the
pump housing.

ACCESSORY DRIVE

VACUUM PUMP - 5.9L DIESEL (Continued)
The complete assembly must be removed in order
to service either pump. However, the power steering
pump can be removed and serviced separately when
necessary.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING—VACUUM PUMP
OUTPUT
The vacuum pump supplies necessary vacuum to
components in the following systems:
• HEVAC system
• Speed Control System
A quick check to determine if the vacuum pump is
the cause of the problem in any of these systems is to
road test the vehicle and verify that all of these systems are fuctioning properly. If only one of these has
a vacuum related failure, then it is likely the vacuum
pump is not the cause.
A standard vacuum gauge can be used to check
pump output when necessary. Simply disconnect the
pump supply hose and connect a vacuum gauge to
the outlet port for testing purposes. With the engine
running, vacuum output should be a minimum of 25
inches, depending on engine speed.

DRIVE GEAR

The vacuum pump is not a serviceable component.
If diagnosis indicates a pump malfunction, the pump
must be replaced as an assembly. Do not disassemble
or attempt to repair the pump.
The combined vacuum and steering pump assembly must be removed for access to either pump. However, the vacuum pump can be removed without
having to disassemble the power steering pump.
If the power steering pump requires service, simply
remove the assembly and separate the two pumps.
Refer to the pump removal and installation procedures in this section.

OPERATION
Vacuum pump output is transmitted to the
HEVAC, speed control, systems through a supply
hose. The hose is connected to an outlet port on the
pump housing and uses an in-line check valve to
retain system vacuum when vehicle is not running.
Pump output ranges from a minimum of 8.5 to 25
inches vacuum.
The pump rotor and vanes are rotated by the pump
drive gear. The drive gear is operated by the camshaft gear.

If the vacuum pump is suspected of low vacuum
output, check the pump and vacuum harnesses as
follows:
(1) Visually inspect the vacuum harness for obvious failures (i.e. disconnected, cracks, breaks etc.)
(2) Disconnect the vacuum supply hose at the vacuum pump check valve. Connect vacuum gauge to
this valve and run engine at various throttle openings. Output should be a minimum 25 inches of vacuum. If vacuum is consistently below 25 inches, the
vacuum pump should be replaced. If output is within
specified limits, the vacuum harness should be suspected as the cause.
(3) Disconnect and isolate the vacuum supply harness. Cap off open ends and apply roughly 15 inches
of vacuum to the harness. If the vacuum gauge does
not hold its reading, then there is an open in the harness and it should be repaired or replaced.
(4) If the vacuum loss is still not detected at this
point, then the pump and harness are not the cause
of the low vacuum condition. Apply vacuum to the
related components of the vacuum supply system (i.e.
valves, servos, solenoids, etc.) to find the source of
the vacuum loss.

REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect battery negative cables.
(2) Position drain pan under power steering pump.
(3) Disconnect vacuum and steering pump hoses.
(4) Disconnect lubricating oil feed line from fitting
at underside of vacuum pump (Fig. 24).
(5) Remove lower bolt that attaches pump assembly to engine block (Fig. 25).

COOLANT
DESCRIPTION - ENGINE COOLANT
ETHYLENE-GLYCOL MIXTURES
CAUTION: Richer antifreeze mixtures cannot be
measured with normal field equipment and can
cause problems associated with 100 percent ethylene-glycol.
The required ethylene-glycol (antifreeze) and water
mixture depends upon the climate and vehicle operating conditions. The recommended mixture of 50/50
ethylene-glycol and water will provide protection
against freezing to -37 deg. C (-35 deg. F). The antifreeze concentration must always be a minimum of
44 percent, year-round in all climates. If percentage
is lower than 44 percent, engine parts may be
eroded by cavitation, and cooling system components may be severely damaged by corrosion.
Maximum protection against freezing is provided
with a 68 percent antifreeze concentration, which
prevents freezing down to -67.7 deg. C (-90 deg. F). A
higher percentage will freeze at a warmer temperature. Also, a higher percentage of antifreeze can
cause the engine to overheat because the specific
heat of antifreeze is lower than that of water.
Use of 100 percent ethylene-glycol will cause formation of additive deposits in the system, as the corrosion inhibitive additives in ethylene-glycol require

the presence of water to dissolve. The deposits act as
insulation, causing temperatures to rise to as high as
149 deg. C (300) deg. F). This temperature is hot
enough to melt plastic and soften solder. The
increased temperature can result in engine detonation. In addition, 100 percent ethylene-glycol freezes
at 22 deg. C (-8 deg. F ).

PROPYLENE-GLYCOL MIXTURES
It’s overall effective temperature range is smaller
than that of ethylene-glycol. The freeze point of 50/50
propylene-glycol and water is -32 deg. C (-26 deg. F).
5 deg. C higher than ethylene-glycol’s freeze point.
The boiling point (protection against summer boilover) of propylene-glycol is 125 deg. C (257 deg. F )
at 96.5 kPa (14 psi), compared to 128 deg. C (263
deg. F) for ethylene-glycol. Use of propylene-glycol
can result in boil-over or freeze-up on a cooling system designed for ethylene-glycol. Propylene glycol
also has poorer heat transfer characteristics than
ethylene glycol. This can increase cylinder head temperatures under certain conditions.
Propylene-glycol/ethylene-glycol
Mixtures
can
cause the destabilization of various corrosion inhibitors, causing damage to the various cooling system
components. Also, once ethylene-glycol and propylene-glycol based coolants are mixed in the vehicle,
conventional methods of determining freeze point will
not be accurate. Both the refractive index and specific gravity differ between ethylene glycol and propylene glycol.

COOLANT (Continued)

OPERATION

OPERATION

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

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

THE POWER CORD MUST BE SECURED IN ITS
RETAINING CLIPS AND ROUTED AWAY FROM
EXHAUST MANIFOLDS AND MOVING PARTS.
An optional engine block heater is available on all
models. The heater is equipped with a power cord.
The heater is mounted in a threaded hole of the
engine cylinder block with the heating element
immersed in engine coolant. The cord is attached to
an engine compartment component with tie-straps.

OPERATION
The heater warms the engine coolant providing
easier engine starting and faster warm-up in low
temperatures. Connecting the power cord to a
grounded 110-120 volt AC electrical outlet with a
grounded three wire extension cord provides the electricity needed to heat the element..

REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect the battery negative cables.

DESCRIPTION

(1) Partially drain cooling system (Refer to 7 COOLING - STANDARD PROCEDURE).
(2) Remove air cleaner assembly.
(3) Disconnect electrical connector from sensor
(Fig. 14).
(4) Engines with air conditioning: When
removing the connector from sensor, do not pull
directly on wiring harness. Fabricate an L-shaped
hook tool from a coat hanger (approximately eight
inches long). Place the hook part of tool under the
connector for removal. The connector is snapped onto
the sensor. It is not equipped with a lock type tab.
(5) Remove sensor from intake manifold.

The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor is
used to sense engine coolant temperature. The sensor
protrudes into an engine water jacket.
The ECT sensor is a two-wire Negative Thermal
Coefficient (NTC) sensor. Meaning, as engine coolant
temperature increases, resistance (voltage) in the
sensor decreases. As temperature decreases, resistance (voltage) in the sensor increases.

OPERATION
At key-on, the Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
sends out a regulated 5 volt signal to the ECT sensor.
The PCM then monitors the signal as it passes
through the ECT sensor to the sensor ground (sensor
return).
When the engine is cold, the PCM will operate in
Open Loop cycle. It will demand slightly richer airfuel mixtures and higher idle speeds. This is done
until normal operating temperatures are reached.
The PCM uses inputs from the ECT sensor for the
following calculations:
• for engine coolant temperature gauge operation
through CCD or PCI (J1850) communications
• Injector pulse-width
• Spark-advance curves
• ASD relay shut-down times
• Idle Air Control (IAC) motor key-on steps
• Pulse-width prime-shot during cranking
• O2 sensor closed loop times
• Purge solenoid on/off times
• EGR solenoid on/off times (if equipped)
• Leak Detection Pump operation (if equipped)
• Radiator fan relay on/off times (if equipped)

ENGINE COOLANT
THERMOSTAT - 5.9L DIESEL
DESCRIPTION
CAUTION: Do not operate an engine without a thermostat, except for servicing or testing. An engine
with the thermostat removed will operate in the
radiator bypass mode, causing an overheat condition.
The thermostat of the 5.9L diesel engine is located
in the front of the cylinder head, underneath the
water outlet connector (Fig. 26).
The same thermostat is used for winter and summer seasons. An engine should not be operated without a thermostat, except for servicing or testing.
Operating without a thermostat causes longer engine
warmup time, unreliable warmup performance,
increased exhaust emissions and crankcase condensation that can result in sludge formation.

OPERATION
The wax pellet is located in a sealed container at
the spring end of the thermostat. When heated, the
pellet expands, overcoming closing spring tension
and water pump pressure to force the valve to open.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING—THERMOSTAT
The cooling system used with the diesel engine
provides the extra coolant capacity and extra cooling
protection needed for higher GVWR (Gross Vehicle
Weight Rating) and GCWR (Gross Combined Weight
Rating) vehicles.
This system capacity will not effect warm up or
cold weather operating characteristics if the thermo-

Fig. 26 Thermostat—5.9L Diesel—Typical
1 - WATER OUTLET CONNECTOR
2 - THERMOSTAT HOUSING
3 - THERMOSTAT

stat is operating properly. This is because coolant
will be held in the engine until it reaches the thermostat “set” temperature.
Diesel engines, due to their inherent efficiency are
slower to warm up than gasoline powered engines,
and will operate at lower temperatures when the
vehicle is unloaded. Because of this, lower temperature gauge readings for diesel versus gasoline
engines may, at times be normal.
Typically, complaints of low engine coolant temperature are observed as low heater output when combined with cool or cold outside temperatures.
To help promote faster engine warm-up, the electric engine block heater must be used with cool or
cold outside temperatures. This will help keep the
engine coolant warm when the vehicle is parked. Use
the block heater if the outside temperature is below
4°C (40°F). Do not use the block heater if the
outside temperature is above 4°C (40°F).
A “Cold Weather Cover” is available from the parts
department through the Mopar Accessories product
line. This accessory cover is designed to block airflow
entering the radiator and engine compartment to
promote faster engine warm-up. It attaches to the
front of the vehicle at the grill opening. The cover is
to be used with cool or cold temperatures only.
If used with high outside temperatures, serious
engine damage could result. Refer to the literature supplied with the cover for additional information.

must be removed from the vehicle (Refer to 7 COOLING/ENGINE/ENGINE COOLANT THERMOSTAT - REMOVAL).
(2) After the thermostat has been removed, examine the thermostat and inside of thermostat housing
for contaminants. If contaminants are found, the
thermostat may already be in a “stuck open” position.

(7) When the water temperature reaches 83°C
(181°F) the thermostat should start to open (valve
will start to move). If the valve starts to move before
this temperature is reached, it is opening too early.
Replace thermostat. The thermostat should be fully
open (valve will stop moving) at 95°C (203°F). If the
valve is still moving when the water temperature
reaches 203°, it is opening too late. Replace thermostat. If the valve refuses to move at any time, replace
thermostat.

CAUTION: A number or letter is stamped into the

DESCRIPTION
The thermal viscous fan drive (Fig. 28) is a silicone-fluid- filled coupling used to connect the fan
blades to the water pump shaft. The coupling allows
the fan to be driven in a normal manner. This is
done at low engine speeds while limiting the top
speed of the fan to a predetermined maximum level
at higher engine speeds.

OPERATION
A thermostatic bimetallic spring coil is located on
the front face of the viscous fan drive unit (a typical
viscous unit is shown in (Fig. 29). This spring coil
reacts to the temperature of the radiator discharge
air. It engages the viscous fan drive for higher fan
speed if the air temperature from the radiator rises
above a certain point. Until additional engine cooling
is necessary, the fan will remain at a reduced rpm
regardless of engine speed.
Only when sufficient heat is present, will the viscous fan drive engage. This is when the air flowing
through the radiator core causes a reaction to the
bimetallic coil. It then increases fan speed to provide
the necessary additional engine cooling.
Once the engine has cooled, the radiator discharge
temperature will drop. The bimetallic coil again
reacts and the fan speed is reduced to the previous
disengaged speed.

• The underhood temperature is above the engagement point for the viscous drive coupling. This may
occur when ambient (outside air temperature) is very
high.
• Engine loads and temperatures are high such as
when towing a trailer.
• Cool silicone fluid within the fan drive unit is
being redistributed back to its normal disengaged
(warm) position. This can occur during the first 15
seconds to one minute after engine start-up on a cold
engine.

LEAKS
Viscous fan drive operation is not affected by small
oil stains near the drive bearing. If leakage appears
excessive, replace the fan drive unit.

VISCOUS DRIVE
If the fan assembly free-wheels without drag (the
fan blades will revolve more than five turns when
spun by hand), replace the fan drive. This spin test
must be performed when the engine is cool.
For the following test, the cooling system must be
in good condition. It also will ensure against excessively high coolant temperature.

FAN DRIVE VISCOUS CLUTCH
- 5.9L DIESEL
DESCRIPTION
The thermal viscous fan drive (Fig. 30) is a silicone-fluid- filled coupling used to connect the fan
blades to the water pump shaft. The coupling allows
the fan to be driven in a normal manner. This is
done at low engine speeds while limiting the top
speed of the fan to a predetermined maximum level
at higher engine speeds.

WARNING: USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN THE
ENGINE IS OPERATING. DO NOT STAND IN A
DIRECT LINE WITH THE FAN. DO NOT PUT YOUR
HANDS NEAR THE PULLEYS, BELTS OR FAN. DO
NOT WEAR LOOSE CLOTHING.
(6) Start the engine and operate at 2400 rpm.
Within ten minutes the air temperature (indicated on
the dial thermometer) should be up to 88° C (190° F).
Fan drive engagement should start to occur at/between:
• 5.9L gas engines — 79° C (175° F)
• 8.0L engine — 88° to 96° C (190° to 205° F)
• 5.9L diesel engine — 71° to 82° C (160° to 179°
F) Engagement is distinguishable by a definite
increase in fan flow noise (roaring). The timing light
also will indicate an increase in the speed of the fan
(non-diesel only).
(7) When viscous drive engagement is verified,
remove the plastic sheet. Fan drive disengagement
should start to occur at between 57° to 79° C (135° to
175° F). A definite decrease of fan flow noise (roaring) should be noticed. If not, replace the defective
viscous fan drive unit.
CAUTION: Some engines equipped with serpentine
drive belts have reverse rotating fans and viscous
fan drives. They are marked with the word
REVERSE to designate their usage. Installation of
the wrong fan or viscous fan drive can result in
engine overheating.
CAUTION: If the viscous fan drive is replaced

VISCOUS FAN DRIVE

OPERATION
A thermostatic bimetallic spring coil is located on
the front face of the viscous fan drive unit (a typical
viscous unit is shown in (Fig. 31). This spring coil
reacts to the temperature of the radiator discharge
air. It engages the viscous fan drive for higher fan
speed if the air temperature from the radiator rises
above a certain point. Until additional engine cooling
is necessary, the fan will remain at a reduced rpm
regardless of engine speed.
Only when sufficient heat is present, will the viscous fan drive engage. This is when the air flowing
through the radiator core causes a reaction to the

the necessary additional engine cooling.
Once the engine has cooled, the radiator discharge
temperature will drop. The bimetallic coil again
reacts and the fan speed is reduced to the previous
disengaged speed.

must be performed when the engine is cool.
For the following test, the cooling system must be
in good condition. It also will ensure against excessively high coolant temperature.

NOISE
NOTE: It is normal for fan noise to be louder (roaring) when:
• The underhood temperature is above the engagement point for the viscous drive coupling. This may
occur when ambient (outside air temperature) is very
high.
• Engine loads and temperatures are high such as
when towing a trailer.
• Cool silicone fluid within the fan drive unit is
being redistributed back to its normal disengaged
(warm) position. This can occur during the first 15
seconds to one minute after engine start-up on a cold
engine.

LEAKS
Viscous fan drive operation is not affected by small
oil stains near the drive bearing. If leakage appears
excessive, replace the fan drive unit.

VISCOUS DRIVE
If the fan assembly free-wheels without drag (the
fan blades will revolve more than five turns when

(1) Drill a 3.18-mm (1/8-in) diameter hole in the
top center of the fan shroud.
(2) Obtain a dial thermometer with an 8 inch stem
(or equivalent). It should have a range of -18°-to105°C (0°-to-220° F). Insert thermometer through the
hole in the shroud. Be sure that there is adequate
clearance from the fan blades.
(3) Connect a tachometer and an engine ignition
timing light. The timing light is to be used as a
strobe light. This step cannot be used on the diesel
engine.
(4) Block the air flow through the radiator. Secure
a sheet of plastic in front of the radiator (or air conditioner condenser). Use tape at the top to secure the
plastic and be sure that the air flow is blocked.
(5) Be sure that the air conditioner (if equipped) is
turned off.
WARNING: USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN THE
ENGINE IS OPERATING. DO NOT STAND IN A
DIRECT LINE WITH THE FAN. DO NOT PUT YOUR
HANDS NEAR THE PULLEYS, BELTS OR FAN. DO
NOT WEAR LOOSE CLOTHING.
(6) Start the engine and operate at 2400 rpm.
Within ten minutes the air temperature (indicated on
the dial thermometer) should be up to 88° C (190° F).
Fan drive engagement should start to occur at/between:
• 5.9L gas engines — 79° C (175° F)
• 8.0L engine — 88° to 96° C (190° to 205° F)
• 5.9L diesel engine — 71° to 82° C (160° to 179°
F) Engagement is distinguishable by a definite
increase in fan flow noise (roaring). The timing light
also will indicate an increase in the speed of the fan
(non-diesel only).
(7) When viscous drive engagement is verified,
remove the plastic sheet. Fan drive disengagement
should start to occur at between 57° to 79° C (135° to
175° F). A definite decrease of fan flow noise (roaring) should be noticed. If not, replace the defective
viscous fan drive unit.

RADIATOR PRESSURE CAP
DESCRIPTION
Radiators are equipped with a pressure cap, which
releases pressure at some point within a range of
97-124 kPa (14-18 psi). The pressure relief point (in
pounds) is engraved on top of cap.
The cooling system will operate at pressures
slightly above atmospheric pressure. This results in a
higher coolant boiling point allowing increased radiator cooling capacity.
A rubber gasket seals radiator filler neck to prevent leakage. This is done to keep system under
pressure. It also maintains vacuum during coolant
cool-down allowing coolant to return from reserve/
overflow tank.

INSTALLATION
(1) Position fan shroud over the fan blades rearward towards engine.
(2) Install rubber insulators to alignment dowels
at lower part of radiator.
(3) Lower the radiator into position while guiding

OPERATION
The cap (Fig. 43) contains a spring-loaded pressure
relief valve that opens when system pressure reaches
release range of 97-124 kPa (14-18 psi).
A vent valve in the center of cap allows a small
coolant flow through cap when coolant is below boiling temperature. The valve is completely closed when
boiling point is reached. As the coolant cools, it contracts and creates a vacuum in the cooling system.
This causes the vacuum valve to open and coolant in
the reserve/overflow tank to be drawn through its
connecting hose into radiator. If the vacuum valve is
stuck shut, the radiator hoses will collapse on cooldown. Clean the vent valve (Fig. 43).

A SAFETY PRECAUTION. WHEN HOT, PRESSURE
BUILDS UP IN COOLING SYSTEM. TO PREVENT
SCALDING OR INJURY, RADIATOR CAP SHOULD
NOT BE REMOVED WHILE SYSTEM IS HOT AND/OR
UNDER PRESSURE.
Do not remove radiator cap at any time except for
the following purposes:
• Check and adjust antifreeze freeze point
• Refill system with new antifreeze
• Conducting service procedures
• Checking for vacuum leaks
WARNING: IF VEHICLE HAS BEEN RUN RECENTLY,
WAIT AT LEAST 15 MINUTES BEFORE REMOVING
RADIATOR CAP. WITH A RAG, SQUEEZE RADIATOR
UPPER HOSE TO CHECK IF SYSTEM IS UNDER
PRESSURE. PLACE A RAG OVER CAP AND WITHOUT PUSHING CAP DOWN, ROTATE IT COUNTERCLOCKWISE TO FIRST STOP. ALLOW FLUID TO

DETERMINE WHEN PRESSURE HAS BEEN
RELEASED. WHEN COOLANT AND STEAM STOP
BEING PUSHED INTO TANK AND SYSTEM PRESSURE DROPS, REMOVE RADIATOR CAP COMPLETELY.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING—RADIATOR CAP
Remove cap from radiator. Be sure that sealing
surfaces are clean. Moisten rubber gasket with water
and install cap on pressure tester 7700 or an equivalent (Fig. 44).

Fig. 44 Pressure Testing Radiator Cap—Typical

NOTE: Radiator pressure testing tools are very sensitive to small air leaks, which will not cause cooling system problems. A pressure cap that does not
have a history of coolant loss should not be
replaced just because it leaks slowly when tested
with this tool. Add water to tool. Turn tool upside
down and recheck pressure cap to confirm that cap
needs replacement.
Operate tester pump to bring pressure to 104 kPa
(15 psi) on gauge. If pressure cap fails to hold pressure of at least 97 kPa (14 psi) replace cap.
The pressure cap may test properly while positioned on tool 7700 (or equivalent). It may not hold
pressure or vacuum when installed on radiator. If so,
inspect radiator filler neck and cap’s top gasket for
damage. Also inspect for dirt or distortion that may
prevent cap from sealing properly.

CLEANING
Clean radiator pressure cap using a mild soap and
water mixture. DO NOT use any chemicals stronger
than mild soap, damage to the seal can occur.

WATER PUMP - 5.9L
DESCRIPTION
The water pump is located on the engine front
cover, and has an integral pulley attached (Fig. 46).
The water pump impeller is pressed onto the rear
of a shaft that rotates in a bearing pressed into the
water pump body. The body has a small hole for ventilation. The water pump seals are lubricated by
antifreeze in the coolant mixture. Additional lubrication is not necessary.

OPERATION
A centrifugal water pump circulates coolant
through the water jackets, passages, intake manifold,
radiator core, cooling system hoses and heater core,

this coolant absorbs the heat generated when the
engine is running. The pump is driven by the engine
crankshaft via a drive belt.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING—WATER PUMP
A quick test to determine if pump is working is to
check if heater warms properly. A defective water
pump will not be able to circulate heated coolant
through the long heater hose to the heater core.

REMOVAL
The water pump on all models can be removed
without discharging the air conditioning system (if
equipped).
The water pump on all gas powered engines is
bolted directly to the engine timing chain case/cover.
On the 5.9L gas powered engine, a gasket is used
as a seal between the water pump and timing chain
case/cover.
If water pump is replaced because of bearing/shaft
damage or leaking shaft seal, the mechanical cooling
fan assembly should also be inspected. Inspect for
fatigue cracks, loose blades or loose rivets that could
have resulted from excessive vibration. Replace fan if
any of these conditions are found. Also check condition of the thermal viscous fan drive (Refer to 7 COOLING/ENGINE/FAN
DRIVE
VISCOUS
CLUTCH - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
(1) Disconnect negative cable from battery.
(2) Drain cooling system (Refer to 7 - COOLING STANDARD PROCEDURE).

DESCRIPTION
An air-to-oil transmission oil cooler is standard on
all engine packages. the cooler is located between the
radiator and air conditioning condenser (Fig. 1).

OPERATION
The transmission oil is routed through the cooler
where heat is removed from the transmission oil
before returning to the transmission. The cooler has
an internal thermostat that controls fluid flow
through the cooler. When the transmission fluid is
cold ( less than operating temperature) the fluid is
routed through the cooler bypass. when the transmission fluid reaches operating temperatures and above,
the thermostat closes off the bypass allowing fluid
flow through the cooler. The thermostat MUST be

When a transmission failure has contaminated the
fluid, the oil cooler(s) must be flushed. The torque
converter must also be replaced. This will insure that
metal particles or sludged oil are not later transferred back into the reconditioned (or replaced) transmission.
The only recommended procedure for flushing coolers and lines is to use Tool 6906-B Cooler Flusher.

Connect black (-) alligator clip to a good ground.
(4) Disconnect the cooler lines at the transmission.
NOTE: When flushing transmission cooler and
lines, ALWAYS reverse flush.
NOTE: The converter drainback valve must be
removed and an appropriate replacement hose
installed to bridge the space between the transmission cooler line and the cooler fitting. Failure to
remove the drainback valve will prevent reverse

OPERATION
See the owner’s manual in the vehicle glove box for
more information on the features, use and operation
of each of the available audio systems.

CENTRAL TIMER MODULE
The high-line or premium Central Timer Module
(CTM) can also control some features of the audio
system when the vehicle is equipped with the
optional RAZ radio receiver and remote radio
switches. A high-line CTM is used on high-line versions of this vehicle. A premium CTM is used on
vehicles equipped with the optional heated seats. The
CTM combines the functions of a chime/buzzer module, an intermittent wipe module, an illuminated
entry module, a remote keyless entry module, and a
vehicle theft security system module in a single unit.
The high-line or premium CTM also controls and
integrates many of the additional electronic functions
and features included on models with this option.
The RAZ radio receiver with a remote radio switch
option is one of the features that the CTM controls.
The CTM is programmed to send switch status mes-

sages over the Chrysler Collision Detection (CCD)
data bus to control the volume, seek, and pre-set station advance functions of the RAZ radio receiver. The
CTM monitors the status of the remote radio
switches located on the steering wheel through a
hard wired circuit. The CTM then sends the proper
switch status messages to the radio receiver. The
electronic circuitry within the radio receiver responds
to the switch status messages it receives by adjusting
the radio settings as requested.
Refer to Electrical, Body Control/Central Timer
Module for more information on the high-line CTM.
Refer to Remote Radio Switch in Description and
Operation for more information on this component.
In addition, radio receivers connected to the CCD
data bus have several audio system functions that
can be diagnosed using a DRBIIIt scan tool. Refer to

The components of the radio antenna body and
cable cannot be adjusted or repaired. All factory-installed radios automatically compensate for radio
antenna trim. Therefore, no antenna trimmer adjustment is required or possible after replacing the
antenna body and cable or the radio. If an antenna
body and cable component is damaged or faulty, it
must be replaced. Other than the primary antenna
cable, which is integral to the antenna body, the individual components of the antenna are available for
service replacement.

OPERATION
Antenna Nut Wrench C-4816

ANTENNA BODY & CABLE
DESCRIPTION
The antenna body and cable are not readily visible
in their installed positions in the vehicle. The most
visible component of the antenna body and cable are
the antenna adapter and the antenna cap nut, which
are located on the top of the right front fender panel
of the vehicle, near the right end of the cowl plenum.
The antenna body and cable are secured below the
fender panel by the antenna cap nut through a prefabricated and dedicated mounting hole in the top of
the right front fender. The primary coaxial antenna
cable is then routed beneath the fender sheet metal
and through a prefabricated and dedicated cable
entry hole in the right cowl side panel into the interior of the vehicle. Inside the vehicle, the primary
coaxial cable is connected to a secondary instrument
panel antenna coaxial cable with an in-line connector
that is located behind the right end of the instrument
panel. The secondary coaxial cable is then routed
behind the instrument panel to the back of the radio.
The factory-installed radio antenna body and cable
consists of the following components:
• Antenna adapter - The antenna adapter is
sometimes also referred to as the antenna bezel or
escutcheon.
• Antenna body - The die cast white metal
antenna body is the mating structure between the
antenna mast and the primary antenna coaxial cable.
• Antenna cable - This vehicle uses a two-piece
antenna coaxial cable. The primary antenna cable is
integral to the antenna body, and the secondary
antenna cable connects the primary cable to the
radio.
• Antenna cap nut - The antenna cap nut is a
special, bright-plated threaded fastener that captures
the antenna adapter and retains the antenna body to
the fender sheet metal.

The antenna body and cable connects the antenna
mast to the radio. The radio antenna is an electromagnetic circuit component used to capture radio frequency signals that are broadcast by local
commercial radio stations in both the Amplitude
Modulating (AM) and Frequency Modulating (FM)
frequency ranges. These electromagnetic radio frequency signals induce small electrical modulations
into the antenna as they move past the mast. The
antenna body transfers the weak electromagnetic
radio waves induced into the rigid antenna mast into
the center conductor of the flexible primary antenna
coaxial cable. The braided outer shield of the
antenna coaxial cable is grounded through both the
antenna body and the radio chassis, effectively
shielding the radio waves as they are conducted to
the radio. The radio then tunes and amplifies the
weak radio signals into stronger electrical signals in
order to operate the audio system speakers.
The antenna body includes an integral flange that
mates with and grounds the antenna body to the
underside of the fender panel sheet metal. Above the
fender panel, the antenna body has a short nipple
that is externally threaded to accept the antenna cap
nut. Inside the nipple is a plastic insulator tube, and
inside this insulator is an internally threaded metal
receptacle that accepts the adapter stud on the bottom of the antenna mast. The antenna adapter
serves as an above fender interface to mount and
secure the antenna body to the vehicle. The antenna
adapter is a black molded plastic component that
provides a functional transition between the top of
the fender and the antenna cap nut, while concealing
the edges of the antenna mounting hole and protecting the painted finish of the fender from marring as
the antenna cap nut is tightened. The adapter is
installed over and shrouds the threaded nipple of the
antenna body, which is installed from under and protrudes through the top of the mounting hole in the
fender. The antenna cap nut is installed on top of the
antenna adapter and tightened onto the external
threads of the antenna body nipple to effectively
secure and ground the antenna body to the fender.

ANTENNA BODY & CABLE (Continued)
Three notches on the outer circumference of the cap
nut are engaged by matching projections of an
antenna nut wrench (Special Tool C-4816) to facilitate the removal and installation of this special fastener. Proper tightening of the antenna cap nut is
critical to ensuring proper grounding of the antenna
body to the fender sheet metal, which is necessary
for clear radio signal reception.
A short length of coaxial cable serves as the primary antenna cable. The center conductor of the
cable is connected to the antenna mast receptacle.
The outer wire mesh of the cable is connected to and
grounded through the antenna body. One end of the
primary antenna cable is securely crimped to the
lower end of the antenna body, while the opposite
end features a simple push/pull-type male coaxial
cable connector that serves as the in-line connector to
the instrument panel (secondary) antenna coaxial
cable. The primary coaxial cable includes a grommet
that seals the cable to an entry hole in the right cowl
side outer panel where the cable passes into the passenger compartment of the vehicle. The secondary
antenna cable has a push/pull-type male coaxial
cable connector on the radio end, and a push/pulltype female coaxial cable connector on the opposite
end, which serves as the in-line connector to the primary antenna cable. In the passenger compartment
the primary cable is routed to the lower right side of
the instrument panel, where it is connected to the
secondary instrument panel antenna cable. The
instrument panel antenna cable is routed near the
instrument panel wire harness through the instrument panel to the radio and is secured to the instrument panel structural support with small metal
push-on retainers. This two-piece antenna cable
arrangement allows the instrument panel or the
antenna body and cable to be removed or installed
without disturbing the radio.

TO TAKE THE PROPER PRECAUTIONS COULD
RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT
AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL INJURY.
The following four tests are used to diagnose the
antenna 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
are shown in Antenna Tests (Fig. 1).
NOTE: This model has a two-piece antenna coaxial
cable. Tests 2 and 4 must be conducted in two
steps to isolate a coaxial cable problem; from the
coaxial cable connection under the right end of the
instrument panel near the right cowl side inner
panel to the antenna base, and then from the coaxial cable connection to the radio receiver chassis
connection.

Fig. 1 Antenna Tests

TEST 1
Test 1 determines if the antenna mast is insulated
from the base. Proceed as follows:
(1) Disconnect and isolate the antenna coaxial
cable connector from the radio receiver chassis.
(2) Connect one ohmmeter test lead to the tip of
the antenna mast. Connect the other test lead to the
antenna base. Check for continuity.
(3) There should be no continuity. If continuity is
found, replace the faulty or damaged antenna base

AUDIO

RADIO
DESCRIPTION
Available factory-installed radio receivers for this
model include an AM/FM/cassette (RAS sales code),
an AM/FM/CD/3-band graphic equalizer (RBR sales
code), or an AM/FM/CD/cassette/3-band graphic
equalizer (RAZ sales code). The factory-installed RAZ
sales code radio receivers can also communicate on
the Chrysler Collision Detection (CCD) data bus network through a separate two-way wire harness connector. All factory-installed receivers are stereo
Electronically Tuned Radios (ETR) and include an
electronic digital clock function.
These radio receivers can only be serviced by an
authorized radio repair station. See the latest Warranty Policies and Procedures manual for a current
listing of authorized radio repair stations.
All vehicles are equipped with an Ignition-Off
Draw (IOD) fuse that is removed when the vehicle is
shipped from the factory. This fuse feeds various
accessories that require battery current when the
ignition switch is in the Off position, including the
clock. The IOD fuse is removed to prevent battery
discharge during vehicle storage.
When removing or installing the IOD fuse, it is
important that the ignition switch be in the Off position. Failure to place the ignition switch in the Off
position can cause the radio display to become scrambled when the IOD fuse is removed and replaced.
Removing and replacing the IOD fuse again, with the
ignition switch in the Off position, will correct the
scrambled display condition.
The IOD fuse should be checked if the radio or
clock displays are inoperative. The IOD fuse is
located in the junction block. Refer to the fuse layout
label on the back of the instrument panel fuse access
panel for IOD fuse identification and location.

OPERATION
The radio receiver operates on fused battery current that is available only when the ignition switch is
in the On or Accessory positions. The electronic digital clock function of the radio operates on fused battery current supplied through the IOD fuse,
regardless of the ignition switch position.
For more information on the features, setting procedures, and control functions for each of the available factory-installed radio receivers, see the owner’s
manual in the vehicle glove box. For complete circuit
diagrams, refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector repair procedures,
details of wire harness routing and retention, connector pin-out information and location views for the
various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.

RADIO NOISE SUPPRESSION
COMPONENTS
DESCRIPTION
Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) and ElectroMagnetic Interference (EMI) noise suppression is
accomplished primarily through circuitry internal to
the radio receivers. These internal suppression
devices are only serviced as part of the radio receiver.
External suppression devices that are used on this
vehicle to control RFI or EMI noise include the following:
• Radio antenna base ground
• Radio receiver chassis ground wire or strap
• Engine-to-body ground straps
• Cab-to-bed ground strap
• Heater core ground strap
• Resistor-type spark plugs
• Radio suppression-type secondary ignition wiring.
For more information on the spark plugs and secondary ignition components, refer to Electrical, Ignition Control.

AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL INJURY.
For complete circuit diagrams, refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wiring information
includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector
repair procedures, details of wire harness routing
and retention, connector pin-out information and
location views for the various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds. Inspect the ground paths
and connections at the following locations:
• Blower motor
• Cab-to-bed ground strap
• Electric fuel pump
• Engine-to-body ground straps
• Generator
• Ignition module
• Heater core ground strap
• Radio antenna base ground
• Radio receiver chassis ground wire or strap
• Wiper motor.

BR/BE

If the source of RFI or EMI noise is identified as a
component on the vehicle (i.e., generator, blower
motor, etc.), the ground path for that component
should be checked. If excessive resistance is found in
any ground circuit, clean, tighten, or repair the
ground circuits or connections to ground as required
before considering any component replacement.
For service and inspection of secondary ignition
components, refer to Electrical, Ignition Control.
Inspect the following 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
components as required.
If the source of the RFI or EMI noise is identified
as two-way mobile radio or telephone equipment,
check the equipment installation for the following:
• Power connections should be made directly to
the battery, and fused as closely to the battery as
possible.
• The antenna should be mounted on the roof or
toward the rear of the vehicle. Remember that magnetic antenna mounts on the roof panel can adversely
affect the operation of an overhead console compass,
if the vehicle is so equipped.
• The antenna cable should be fully shielded coaxial cable, should be as short as is practical, and
should be routed away from the factory-installed
vehicle wire harnesses whenever possible.
• The antenna and cable must be carefully
matched to ensure a low Standing Wave Ratio
(SWR).
Fleet vehicles are available with an extra-cost RFIsuppressed Powertrain Control Module (PCM). This
unit reduces interference generated by the PCM on
some radio frequencies used in two-way radio communications. However, this unit will not resolve complaints of RFI in the commercial AM or FM radio
frequency ranges.

CHIME WARNING SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
A chime warning system is standard factory-installed equipment on this model. The chime warning
system uses a single chime tone generator that is
integral to the Central Timer Module (CTM) to provide an audible indication of various vehicle conditions that may require the attention of the vehicle
operator. The chime warning system includes the following major components, which are described in further detail elsewhere in this service manual:
• Central Timer Module - The Central Timer
Module (CTM) is located under the driver side end of
the instrument panel, inboard of the instrument
panel steering column opening. The CTM contains an
integral chime tone generator to provide all of the
proper chime warning system features based upon
the monitored inputs.
• Door Ajar Switch - A door ajar switch is integral to the driver side front door latch. This switch
provides an input to the chime warning system indicating whether the driver side front door is open or
closed.
• Headlamp Switch - The headlamp switch is
located on the instrument panel outboard of the
steering column. The headlamp switch provides an
input to the chime warning system indicating when
the exterior lamps are turned On or Off.
• Ignition Switch - A key-in ignition switch is
integral to the ignition switch. The key-in ignition
switch provides an input to the chime warning system indicating whether a key is present in the ignition lock cylinder.
• Seat Belt Switch - A seat belt switch is integral to the driver side front seat belt buckle unit. The
seat belt switch provides an input to the chime warning system indicating whether the driver side front
seat belt is fastened.
Hard wired circuitry connects many of the chime
warning system components to each other through
the electrical system of the vehicle. These hard wired
circuits are integral to several wire harnesses, which
are routed throughout the vehicle and retained by

many different methods. These circuits may be connected to each other, to the vehicle electrical system
and to the chime warning system components
through the use of a combination of soldered splices,
splice block connectors, and many different types of
wire harness terminal connectors and insulators.
Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper
wire and connector repair procedures, further details
on wire harness routing and retention, as well as
pin-out and location views for the various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.
The CTM chime warning system circuitry and the
integral chime tone generator cannot be adjusted or
repaired. If the CTM or the chime tone generator are
damaged or faulty, the CTM unit must be replaced.

OPERATION
The chime warning system is designed to provide an
audible output as an indication of various conditions
that may require the attention or awareness of the
vehicle operator. The chime warning system components operate on battery current received through a
fused B(+) fuse in the Junction Block (JB) on a nonswitched fused B(+) circuit so that the system may
operate regardless of the ignition switch position.
The chime warning system provides an audible
indication to the vehicle operator under the following
conditions:
• Fasten Seat Belt Warning - The Central
Timer Module (CTM) chime tone generator will generate repetitive chime tones at a slow rate to
announce that a hard wired input from the seat belt
switch to the Electro-Mechanical Instrument Cluster
(EMIC) indicates that the driver side front seat belt
is not fastened with the ignition switch in the On
position. Unless the driver side front seat belt is fastened, the chimes will continue to sound for a duration of about seven seconds each time the ignition
switch is turned to the On position or until the driver
side front seat belt is fastened, whichever occurs
first. This chime tone is based upon a hard wired
chime request input to the CTM from the EMIC, but
is not related to the operation of the EMIC “Seatbelt”
indicator.

CHIME/BUZZER

BR/BE

CHIME WARNING SYSTEM (Continued)
• Head/Park Lights-On Warning - The CTM
chime tone generator will generate repetitive chime
tones at a fast rate to announce that hard wired
inputs from the driver door ajar switch, headlamp
switch, and ignition switch indicate that the exterior
lamps are turned On with the driver side front door
opened and the ignition switch in the Off position.
The chimes will continue to sound until the exterior
lamps are turned Off, the driver side front door is
closed, or the ignition switch is turned to the On
position, whichever occurs first.
• Key-In-Ignition Warning - The CTM chime
tone generator will generate repetitive chime tones at
a fast rate to announce that hard wired inputs from
the driver door ajar switch, headlamp switch, and
ignition switch indicate that the key is in the ignition
lock cylinder with the driver side front door opened
and the ignition switch in the Off position. The
chimes will continue to sound until the key is
removed from the ignition lock cylinder, the driver
side front door is closed, or the ignition switch is
turned to the On position, whichever occurs first.
• Warning Chime Support - The CTM chime
tone generator will generate repetitive chime tones at
a slow rate to announce that a hard wired chime
request input has been received from the EMIC.
These chime tones provide an audible alert to the
vehicle operator that supplements certain visual indications displayed by the EMIC. Supplemented indications include the following:
• The “Airbag” indicator is illuminated. The
chimes will continue to sound for a duration of about
four seconds each time the indicator is illuminated or
until the ignition switch is turned to the Off position,
whichever occurs first.
• The “Check Gages” indicator is illuminated. The
chimes will continue to sound for a duration of about
two seconds each time the indicator is illuminated or
until the ignition switch is turned to the Off position,
whichever occurs first.
• The “Low Fuel” indicator is illuminated. The
chimes will continue to sound for a duration of about
two seconds each time the indicator is illuminated or
until the ignition switch is turned to the Off position,
whichever occurs first.
• The “Low Wash” indicator is illuminated. The
chimes will continue to sound for a duration of about
two seconds each time the indicator is illuminated or
until the ignition switch is turned to the Off position,
whichever occurs first.
• The “Trans Temp” indicator is illuminated (automatic transmission only). The chimes will continue to
sound for a duration of about two seconds each time
the indicator is illuminated or until the ignition
switch is turned to the Off position, whichever occurs
first.

• The vehicle is over a programmed speed value
(Middle East Gulf Coast Country (GCC) only). The
CTM chime tone generator will generate repetitive
chime tones at a slow rate to announce that the vehicle speed exceeds a programmed value. The chimes
will continue to sound until the vehicle speed is
below the programmed value.
• The “Water-In-Fuel” indicator is illuminated
(diesel engine only). The chimes will continue to
sound for a duration of about two seconds each time
the indicator is illuminated or until the ignition
switch is turned to the Off position, whichever occurs
first.
The CTM provides chime service for all available
features in the chime warning system. The CTM
relies upon hard wired inputs from the driver door
ajar switch, the EMIC, the headlamp switch, and the
key-in ignition switch (ignition switch) to provide
chime service for all of the chime warning system
features. Upon receiving the proper inputs, the CTM
activates the integral chime tone generator to provide the audible chime tone to the vehicle operator.
The chime tone generator in the CTM is capable of
producing repeated chime tones at two different
rates, slow or fast. The slow chime rate is about fifty
chime tones per minute, while the fast chime rate is
about 180 chime tones per minute. The internal programming of the CTM and the EMIC determines the
priority of each chime tone request input that is
received, as well as the rate and duration of each
chime tone that is to be generated.
The hard wired chime warning system inputs to
the CTM and the EMIC, as well as other hard wired
circuits for this system may be diagnosed and tested
using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures.
See the owner’s manual in the vehicle glove box for
more information on the features provided by the
chime warning system.

CENTRAL TIMER MODULE

chime module and an intermittent wipe module in a
single unit. The high-line version of the CTM is used
on high-line vehicles. The high-line CTM provides all
of the functions of the base version of the CTM, but
also is used to control and integrate many additional
electronic functions and features included on highline models. The premium version of the CTM is the
same as the high-line version, but is used only on
models equipped with the heated seat option.
The high-line and premium versions of the CTM
utilize integrated circuitry and information carried
on the Chrysler Collision Detection (CCD) data bus
network along with many hard wired inputs to monitor many sensor and switch inputs throughout the
vehicle. In response to those inputs, the internal circuitry and programming of the CTM allow it to control and integrate many electronic functions and
features of the vehicle through both hard wired outputs and the transmission of electronic message outputs to other electronic modules in the vehicle over
the CCD data bus.

DESCRIPTION
Three versions of the Central Timer Module (CTM)
are available on this vehicle, a base version (Fig. 1),
a high-line version (Fig. 2), and a premium version.
Whichever version of the CTM the vehicle is
equipped with, it is concealed under the driver side
end of the instrument panel inboard of the instrument panel steering column opening, where it is
secured to a stamped steel bracket that is integral to
the instrument panel armature. The CTM is enclosed
in a molded plastic housing with one (base) or two
(high-line/premium) integral external connector
receptacles that connect it to the vehicle electrical
system through one (base) or two (high-line/premium) take outs with connectors from the instrument panel wire harness.
The base version of the CTM is used on base models of this vehicle. It is also sometimes referred to as
the Integrated Electronic Module (IEM). The base
version of the CTM combines the functions of a

The wiring information includes wiring diagrams,
proper wire and connector repair procedures, further
details on wire harness routing and retention, as well
as pin-out and location views for the various wire

All versions of the CTM for this model are serviced
only as a complete unit. Many of the electronic features in the vehicle controlled or supported by the
high-line or premium versions of the CTM are programmable using the DRBIIIt scan tool.However, if
any of the CTM hardware components are damaged
or faulty, the entire CTM unit must be replaced. The
base version of the CTM and the hard wired inputs
or outputs of all CTM versions can be diagnosed
using conventional diagnostic tools and methods;
however, for diagnosis of the high-line or premium
versions of the CTM or the CCD data bus, the use of
a DRBIIIt scan tool is required. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

OPERATION
The Central Timer Module (CTM) is designed to
control and integrate many of the electronic features
and functions of the vehicle. The base version of the
CTM monitors only hard wired inputs and responds
with the proper hard wired outputs. The microprocessor-based high-line/premium version of the CTM
monitors many hard wired switch and sensor inputs
as well as those resources it shares with other electronic modules in the vehicle through its communication over the Chrysler Collision Detection (CCD) data
bus network. The internal programming and all of
these inputs allow the high-line/premium CTM
microprocessor to determine the tasks it needs to
perform and their priorities, as well as both the standard and optional features that it should provide.
The high-line/premium CTM programming then performs those tasks and provides those features
through both CCD data bus communication with
other electronic modules and through hard wired outputs to a number of circuits, relays, and actuators.
These outputs allow the high-line/premium CTM the
ability to control numerous accessory systems in the
vehicle.
All versions of the CTM operate on battery current
received through fuses in the Junction Block (JB) on
a non-switched fused B(+) circuit, a fused ignition
switch output (st-run) circuit (base version only), and
a fused ignition switch output (run-acc) circuit (highline/premium version only). This arrangement allows
the CTM to provide some features regardless of the
ignition switch position, while other features will

operate only with the ignition switch in the Accessory, On, and/or Start positions. All versions of the
CTM are grounded through their connector and take
out of the instrument panel wire harness. The highline/premium CTM has another ground received
through a second connector and take out of the
instrument panel wire harness. The first ground circuit receives ground through a take out with an eyelet terminal connector of the instrument panel wire
harness that is secured by a nut to a ground stud
located on the left instrument panel end bracket,
while the second ground circuit (high-line/premium
version only) receives ground through a take out with
an eyelet terminal connector of the instrument panel
wire harness that is secured by a nut to a ground
stud located on the back of the instrument panel
armature above the inboard side of the instrument
panel steering column opening.
The high-line/premium CTM monitors its own
internal circuitry as well as many of its input and
output circuits, and will store a Diagnostic Trouble
Code (DTC) in electronic memory for any failure it
detects. These DTCs can be retrieved and diagnosed
using a DRBIIIt scan tool. Refer to the appropriate
diagnostic information.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - CENTRAL TIMER
MODULE
The hard wired inputs to and outputs from the
Central Timer Module (CTM) may be diagnosed and
tested using conventional diagnostic tools and methods. Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The
wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper
wire and connector repair procedures, further details
on wire harness routing and retention, as well as
pin-out and location views for the various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.
However, conventional diagnostic methods may not
prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the high-line/premium CTM. In order to obtain conclusive testing of
the high-line/premium CTM, the Chrysler Collision

Detection (CCD) data bus network and all of the electronic modules that provide inputs to or receive outputs from the CTM must also be checked. The most
reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose
the high-line/premium CTM, the CCD data bus network, and the electronic modules that provide inputs
to or receive outputs from the high-line/premium
CTM requires the use of a DRBIIIt scan tool and the
appropriate diagnostic information. The DRBIIIt
scan tool can provide confirmation that the CCD data
bus network is functional, that all of the electronic
modules are sending and receiving the proper messages over the CCD data bus, and that the CTM is
receiving the proper hard wired inputs and responding with the proper hard wired outputs needed to
perform its many functions.

The Chrysler Collision Detection (also referred to as
CCD or CD) data bus system is a multiplex system
used
for
vehicle
communications
on
many
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles. Within the context of the CCD system, the term “collision“ refers to
the system’s ability to avoid collisions of the electronic
data that enters the data bus from various electronic
control modules at approximately the same time.
Multiplexing is a system that enables the transmission of several messages over a single channel or
circuit. Many DaimlerChrysler vehicles use this principle for communication between the various microprocessor-based electronic control modules.
Many of the electronic control modules in a vehicle
require information from the same sensing device. In
the past, if information from one sensing device was
required by several controllers, a wire from each controller needed to be connected in parallel to that sensor. In addition, each controller utilizing analog
sensors required an Analog/Digital (A/D) converter in
order to “read“ these sensor inputs. Multiplexing
reduces wire harness complexity, sensor current
loads and controller hardware because each sensing
device is connected to only one controller, which
reads and distributes the sensor information to the
other controllers over the data bus. Also, because
each controller on the data bus can access the controller sensor inputs to every other controller on the
data bus, more function and feature capabilities are
possible.

COMMUNICATION (Continued)
In addition to reducing wire harness complexity,
component sensor current loads and controller hardware, multiplexing offers a diagnostic advantage. A
multiplex system allows the information flowing
between controllers to be monitored using a diagnostic scan tool. The DaimlerChrysler system allows an
electronic control module to broadcast message data
out onto the bus where all other electronic control
modules can “hear” the messages that are being sent.
When a module hears a message on the data bus
that it requires, it relays that message to its microprocessor. Each module ignores the messages on the
data bus that are being sent to other electronic control modules.
With a diagnostic scan tool connected into the CCD
circuit, a technician is able to observe many of the
electronic control module function and message outputs while; at the same time, controlling many of the
sensor message inputs. The CCD data bus, along
with the use of a DRBIIIt diagnostic scan tool and a
logic-based approach to test procedures, as found in
the appropriate diagnostic procedures manuals,
allows the trained automotive technician to more easily, accurately and efficiently diagnose the many complex and integrated electronic functions and features
found on today’s vehicles.

or down) affects both wires equally. Since both wires
are affected equally, a voltage differential still exists
between the Bus (+) and Bus (–) circuits, and the
data bus messages can still be broadcast or received.
The correct specification for data bus wire twisting is
one turn for every 44.45 millimeters (1 ¾ inches) of
wire.

CCD CHIPS
In order for an electronic control module to communicate on the CCD data bus, it must have a CCD
chip (Fig. 5). The CCD chip contains a differential
transmitter/receiver (or transceiver), which is used to
send and receive messages. Each module is wired in
parallel to the data bus through its CCD chip.

OPERATION - CCD DATA BUS
The CCD data bus system was designed to run at a
7812.5 baud rate (or 7812.5 bits per second). In order
to successfully transmit and receive binary messages
over the CCD data bus, the system requires the following:
• Bus (+) and Bus (–) Circuits
• CCD Chips in Each Electronic Control Module
• Bus Bias and Termination
• Bus Messaging
• Bus Message Coding
Following are additional details of each of the
above system requirements.

BUS (+) AND BUS (–) CIRCUITS
The two wires (sometimes referred to as the “twisted pair”) that comprise the CCD data bus are the D1
circuit [Bus (+)], and the D2 circuit [Bus (–)]. The 9D9
in D1 and D2 identify these as diagnostic circuits.
Transmission and receipt of binary messages on the
CCD data bus is accomplished by cycling the voltage
differential between the Bus (+) and Bus (–) circuits.
The two data bus wires are twisted together in
order to shield the wires from the effects of any Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI) from switched voltage sources. An induced EMI voltage can be
generated in any wire by a nearby switched voltage
or switched ground circuit. By twisting the data bus
wires together, the induced voltage spike (either up

Fig. 5 CCD Chip
The differential transceiver sends messages by
using two current drivers: one current source driver,
and one current sink driver. The current drivers are
matched and allow 0.006 ampere to flow through the
data bus circuits. When the transceiver drivers are
turned On, the Bus (+) voltage increases slightly, and
the Bus (–) voltage decreases slightly. By cycling the
drivers On and Off, the CCD chip causes the voltage
on the data bus circuit to fluctuate to reflect the message.
Once a message is broadcast over the CCD data
bus, all electronic control modules on the data bus
have the ability to receive it through their CCD chip.
Reception of CCD messages is also carried out by the
transceiver in the CCD chip. The transceiver monitors the voltage on the data bus for any fluctuations.
When data bus voltage fluctuations are detected,
they are interpreted by the transceiver as binary
messages and sent to the electronic control module’s
microprocessor.

ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES

BR/BE

COMMUNICATION (Continued)

BUS BIAS AND TERMINATION
The voltage network used by the CCD data bus to
transmit messages requires both bias and termination. At least one electronic control module on the
data bus must provide a voltage source for the CCD
data bus network known as bus bias, and there must
be at least one bus termination point for the data bus
circuit to be complete. However, while bias and termination are both required for data bus operation,
they both do not have to be within the same electronic control module. The CCD data bus is biased to
approximately 2.5 volts. With each of the electronic
control modules wired in parallel to the data bus, all
modules utilize the same bus bias. Therefore, based
upon vehicle options, the data bus can accommodate
two or twenty electronic control modules without
affecting bus voltage.
The power supplied to the data bus is known as
bus biasing. Bus bias is provided through a series circuit. To properly bias the data bus circuits, a 5 volt
supply is provided through a 13 kilohm resistor to
the Bus (–) circuit (Fig. 6). Voltage from the Bus (–)
circuit flows through a 120 ohm termination resistor
to the Bus (+) circuit. The Bus (+) circuit is grounded
through another 13 kilohm resistor. While at least
one termination resistor is required for the system to
operate, most DaimlerChrysler systems use two. The
second termination resistor serves as a backup (Fig.
7). The termination resistor provides a path for the
bus bias voltage. Without a termination point, voltage biasing would not occur. Voltage would go to 5
volts on one bus wire and 0 volts on the other bus
wire.

Fig. 6 Bus Biasing

The voltage drop through the termination resistor
creates 2.51 volts on Bus (–), and 2.49 volts on Bus
(+). The voltage difference between the two circuits is
0.02 volts. When the data bus voltage differential is a
steady 0.02 volts, the CCD system is considered
“idle.” When no input is received from any module
and the ignition switch is in the Off position for a
pre-programmed length of time, the bus data
becomes inactive or enters the ”sleep mode.” Electronic control modules that provide bus bias can be
programmed to ”wake up” the data bus and become
active upon receiving any predetermined input or
when the ignition switch is turned to the On position.

BUS MESSAGING
The electronic control modules used in the CCD
data bus system contain microprocessors. Digital signals are the means by which microprocessors operate
internally and communicate messages to other microprocessors. Digital signals are limited to two states,
voltage high or voltage low, corresponding to either a
one or a zero. Unlike conventional binary code, the
CCD data bus systems translate a small voltage difference as a one (1), and a larger voltage difference
as a zero (0). The use of the 0 and 1 is referred to as
binary coding. Each binary number is called a bit,
and eight bits make up a byte. For example:
01011101 represents a message. The controllers in
the multiplex system are able to send thousands of
these bytes strung together to communicate a variety
of messages. Through the use of binary data transmission, all electronic control modules on the data
bus can communicate with each other.
The microprocessors in the CCD data bus system
translate the binary messages into Hexadecimal
Code (or Hex Code). Hex code is the means by which
microprocessors communicate and interpret messages. When fault codes are received by the DRBIIIt
scan tool, they are translated into text for display on
the DRBIIIt screen. Although not displayed by the
DRBIIIt for Body Systems, hex codes are shown by
the DRBIIIt for Engine System faults.
When the microprocessor signals the transceiver in
the CCD chip to broadcast a message, the transceiver
turns the current drivers On and Off, which cycles
the voltage on the CCD data bus circuits to correspond to the message. At idle, the CCD system recognizes the 0.02 voltage differential as a binary bit 1.
When the current drivers are actuated, the voltage
differential from idle must increase by 0.02 volt for
the CCD system to recognize a binary bit 0 (Fig. 8).
The nominal voltage differential for a 0 bit is 0.100
volts. However, data bus voltage differentials can
range anywhere between 0.02 and 0.120 volt.

Fig. 7 Bus Termination

BUS MESSAGE CODING
The first part of a data bus message has an Identification (ID) byte. The ID byte contains message
priority, message identification, message content and
message length information. All messages sent over
the data bus are coded for both priority and identification.
PRIORITY
Messages can be broadcast almost simultaneously
by modules over the CCD data bus. Therefore, all
messages are defined and ranked by a predetermined
priority. When two CCD chips start a message at
exactly the same time, non-destructive arbitration
occurs between the two CCD chips. Arbitration will
occur based upon the priority code, to determine
which message takes priority on the data bus and to
prevent data collision. If a CCD chip senses a message of higher priority being transmitted, it stops
transmitting its message. The higher priority message is then transmitted in its entirety without inter-

ruption. The other CCD chips on the data bus do not
allow any other messages to be broadcast.
To determine the winner in an arbitration, all messages start with an ID byte which contains the predetermined priority code. In the digital broadcast,
zero is the dominant bit. All ID bytes start with a
zero. This is the start of the message. With zeros
being the dominant bit, messages starting with more
zeros have a higher priority. For example: of the two
messages below, Message #2 loses arbitration at the
second bit, where Message #1 has a zero and Message #2 has a one (Fig. 9). After the message is
broadcast, an idle period occurs while all microprocessors can queue, if necessary, and attempt to
broadcast their messages again.
• Message #1 = 00010110
• Message #2 = 01010101

identifies the data, content and length. The electronic
control module, through its CCD chip transceiver,
monitors the ID code of the messages. If the message
is not for that particular module, the message is simply ignored. Once the module recognizes a message
that it requires, the rest of the message is monitored
and processed.

Fig. 9 Message Arbitration

Because messages are broadcast over the data bus,
all modules can receive them, yet not all modules
need all messages. In order to enhance microprocessor speed, unneeded messages are filtered out. The

TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION
Once a CCD chip transmits a message over the
CCD data bus, the message is received by the transmitting module at the same time through the CCD
chip differential transceiver. The module knows the
message was broadcast correctly when it receives its
own message back. If the message received does not
match the message transmitted, the message is said
to be corrupt.
Corruption occurs when the message is incorrectly
transmitted on the data bus. Corruption can also
occur from interference, wiring problems, or other
data bus problems. In the case of a corrupt message,
the module attempts to have the CCD chip re-send
the message.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - CCD DATA BUS
CCD BUS FAILURE
The CCD data bus can be monitored using the
DRBIIIt scan tool. However, it is possible for the
data bus to pass all tests since the voltage parameters will be in “range“ and false signals are being
sent. There are essentially 12 “hard failures“ that
can occur with the CCD data bus:
• Bus Shorted to Battery
• Bus Shorted to 5 Volts
• Bus Shorted to Ground
• Bus (+) Shorted to Bus (–)
• Bus (–) and Bus (+) Open
• Bus (+) Open
• Bus (–) Open
• No Bus Bias
• Bus Bias Level Too High
• Bus Bias Level Too Low
• No Bus Termination
• Not Receiving Bus Messages Correctly

OPERATION
SYSTEM SELF-TEST
When the ignition switch is turned-on the microprocessor RAM and ROM are tested. If an error
occurs during the test, a DTC will be set into the
RAM memory. However it is possible the DTC will
not be stored in memory if the error has occurred in
the RAM module were the DTC’s are stored. Also it
is possible a DTC may not be stored if the error has
occurred in the ROM which signals the RAM to store
the DTC.

CAB INPUTS
The CAB continuously monitors the speed of the
differential ring gear by monitoring signals generated
by the rear wheel speed sensor. The CAB determines
a wheel locking tendency when it recognizes the ring
gear is decelerating too rapidly. The CAB monitors
the following inputs to determine when a wheel locking tendency may exists:
• Rear Wheel Speed Sensor
• Brake Lamp Switch
• Brake Warning Lamp Switch
• Reset Switch
• 4WD Switch (If equipped)

OPERATION - ECM
The main functions of the Engine Control Module
(ECM) and Fuel Injection Pump Control Module
(FPCM) are to electrically control the fuel system.
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) does not
control the fuel system.
The ECM can adapt its programming to meet
changing operating conditions. If the ECM has
been replaced, flashed or re-calibrated, the
ECM must learn the Accelerator Pedal Position
Sensor (APPS) idle voltage. Failure to learn
this voltage may result in unnecessary diagnostic trouble codes. Refer to ECM Removal/Installation for learning procedures.
The ECM receives input signals from various
switches and sensors. Based on these inputs, the
ECM regulates various engine and vehicle operations
through different system components. These components are referred to as ECM Outputs. The sensors
and switches that provide inputs to the ECM are
considered ECM Inputs.

DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION - PCM
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is located
in the engine compartment (Fig. 17). The PCM is
referred to as JTEC.

• Engine start-up (crank)
• Engine warm-up
• Idle
• Cruise
• Acceleration
• Deceleration
• Wide open throttle (WOT)
• Ignition switch OFF
The ignition switch On, engine start-up (crank),
engine warm-up, acceleration, deceleration and wide
open throttle modes are Open Loop modes. The idle
and cruise modes, (with the engine at operating temperature) are Closed Loop modes.

IGNITION SWITCH (KEY-ON) MODE

Fig. 17 PCM Location
1 - PCM MOUNTING BOLTS (3)
2 - POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM)
3 - (3) 32–WAY CONNECTORS

DESCRIPTION - MODES OF OPERATION
As input signals to the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) change, the PCM adjusts its response to the
output devices. For example, the PCM must calculate
different injector pulse width and ignition timing for
idle than it does for wide open throttle (WOT).
The PCM will operate in two different modes:
Open Loop and Closed Loop.
During Open Loop modes, the PCM receives input
signals and responds only according to preset PCM
programming. Input from the oxygen (O2S) sensors
is not monitored during Open Loop modes.
During Closed Loop modes, the PCM will monitor
the oxygen (O2S) sensors input. This input indicates
to the PCM whether or not the calculated injector
pulse width results in the ideal air-fuel ratio. This
ratio is 14.7 parts air-to-1 part fuel. By monitoring
the exhaust oxygen content through the O2S sensor,
the PCM can fine tune the injector pulse width. This
is done to achieve optimum fuel economy combined
with low emission engine performance.
The fuel injection system has the following modes
of operation:
• Ignition switch ON

This is an Open Loop mode. When the fuel system
is activated by the ignition switch, the following
actions occur:
• The PCM pre-positions the idle air control (IAC)
motor.
• The PCM determines atmospheric air pressure
from the MAP sensor input to determine basic fuel
strategy.
• The PCM monitors the engine coolant temperature sensor input. The PCM modifies fuel strategy
based on this input.
• Intake manifold air temperature sensor input is
monitored.
• Throttle position sensor (TPS) is monitored.
• The auto shutdown (ASD) relay is energized by
the PCM for approximately three seconds.
• The fuel pump is energized through the fuel
pump relay by the PCM. The fuel pump will operate
for approximately three seconds unless the engine is
operating or the starter motor is engaged.
• The O2S sensor heater element is energized via
the ASD relay. The O2S sensor input is not used by
the PCM to calibrate air-fuel ratio during this mode
of operation.

ENGINE START-UP MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. The following actions
occur when the starter motor is engaged.
The PCM receives inputs from:
• Battery voltage
• Engine coolant temperature sensor
• Crankshaft position sensor
• Intake manifold air temperature sensor
• Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
• Throttle position sensor (TPS)
• Starter motor relay
• Camshaft position sensor signal
The PCM monitors the crankshaft position sensor.
If the PCM does not receive a crankshaft position
sensor signal within 3 seconds of cranking the
engine, it will shut down the fuel injection system.

POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (Continued)
The fuel pump is activated by the PCM through
the fuel pump relay.
Voltage is applied to the fuel injectors with the
ASD relay via the PCM. The PCM will then control
the injection sequence and injector pulse width by
turning the ground circuit to each individual injector
on and off.
The PCM determines the proper ignition timing
according to input received from the crankshaft position sensor.

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

IDLE MODE
When the engine is at operating temperature, this
is a Closed Loop mode. At idle speed, the PCM
receives inputs from:
• Air conditioning select signal (if equipped)
• Air conditioning request signal (if equipped)
• Battery voltage
• Crankshaft position sensor
• Engine coolant temperature sensor
• Intake manifold air temperature sensor
• Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
• Throttle position sensor (TPS)

• Camshaft position sensor signal (in the distributor)
• Battery voltage
• Park/neutral switch (gear indicator signal—auto.
trans. only)
• Oxygen sensors
Based on these inputs, the following occurs:
• Voltage is applied to the fuel injectors with the
ASD relay via the PCM. The PCM will then control
injection sequence and injector pulse width by turning the ground circuit to each individual injector on
and off.
• The PCM monitors the O2S sensor input and
adjusts air-fuel ratio by varying injector pulse width.
It also adjusts engine idle speed through the idle air
control (IAC) motor.
• The PCM adjusts ignition timing by increasing
and decreasing spark advance.
• The PCM operates the A/C compressor clutch
through the clutch relay. This happens if A/C has
been selected by the vehicle operator and requested
by the A/C thermostat.

CRUISE MODE
When the engine is at operating temperature, this
is a Closed Loop mode. At cruising speed, the PCM
receives inputs from:
• Air conditioning select signal (if equipped)
• Air conditioning request signal (if equipped)
• Battery voltage
• Engine coolant temperature sensor
• Crankshaft position sensor
• Intake manifold air temperature sensor
• Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
• Throttle position sensor (TPS)
• Camshaft position sensor signal (in the distributor)
• Park/neutral switch (gear indicator signal—auto.
trans. only)
• Oxygen (O2S) sensors
Based on these inputs, the following occurs:
• Voltage is applied to the fuel injectors with the
ASD relay via the PCM. The PCM will then adjust
the injector pulse width by turning the ground circuit
to each individual injector on and off.
• The PCM monitors the O2S sensor input and
adjusts air-fuel ratio. It also adjusts engine idle
speed through the idle air control (IAC) motor.
• The PCM adjusts ignition timing by turning the
ground path to the coil on and off.
• The PCM operates the A/C compressor clutch
through the clutch relay. This happens if A/C has
been selected by the vehicle operator and requested
by the A/C thermostat.

POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (Continued)

ACCELERATION MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. The PCM recognizes
an abrupt increase in throttle position or MAP pressure as a demand for increased engine output and
vehicle acceleration. The PCM increases injector
pulse width in response to increased throttle opening.

DECELERATION MODE
When the engine is at operating temperature, this
is an Open Loop mode. During hard deceleration, the
PCM receives the following inputs.
• Air conditioning select signal (if equipped)
• Air conditioning request signal (if equipped)
• Battery voltage
• Engine coolant temperature sensor
• Crankshaft position sensor
• Intake manifold air temperature sensor
• Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
• Throttle position sensor (TPS)
• Camshaft position sensor signal (in the distributor)
• Park/neutral switch (gear indicator signal—auto.
trans. only)
• Vehicle speed sensor
If the vehicle is under hard deceleration with the
proper rpm and closed throttle conditions, the PCM
will ignore the oxygen sensor input signal. The PCM
will enter a fuel cut-off strategy in which it will not
supply a ground to the injectors. If a hard deceleration does not exist, the PCM will determine the
proper injector pulse width and continue injection.
Based on the above inputs, the PCM will adjust
engine idle speed through the idle air control (IAC)
motor.
The PCM adjusts ignition timing by turning the
ground path to the coil on and off.

WIDE OPEN THROTTLE MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. During wide open
throttle operation, the PCM receives the following
inputs.
• Battery voltage
• Crankshaft position sensor
• Engine coolant temperature sensor
• Intake manifold air temperature sensor
• Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
• Throttle position sensor (TPS)
• Camshaft position sensor signal (in the distributor)
During wide open throttle conditions, the following
occurs:
• Voltage is applied to the fuel injectors with the
ASD relay via the PCM. The PCM will then control

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

IGNITION SWITCH OFF MODE
When ignition switch is turned to OFF position,
the PCM stops operating the injectors, ignition coil,
ASD relay and fuel pump relay.

Fig. 19 Heated Seat Module
1 - MOUNTING TABS
2 - HEATED SEAT MODULE
3 - CONNECTOR RECEPTACLE

The heated seat module is also known as the Seat
Heat Interface Module. The heated seat module (Fig.
19) is located under the front seat center cushion,
where it is secured to a mounting bracket that also
serves as the support for the slide-out rear seat cup
holder unit. The mounting tabs that are molded into
the plastic housing of the heated seat module are
inserted through holes in the mounting bracket and
then secured by push on retainers. The heated seat
module has a single connector receptacle that allows
the module to be connected to all of the required
inputs and outputs through the seat wire harness.
The heated seat module is an electronic microprocessor controlled device designed and programmed to
use inputs from the heated seat relay, the two heated
seat switches and the two heated seat sensors to
operate and control the heated seat elements in both
front seats and the two heated seat indicator lamp
Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs) in each heated seat
switch. The heated seat module is also programmed
to perform self-diagnosis of certain heated seat system functions and provide feedback of that diagnosis
through the heated seat switch indicator lamps.
The heated seat module cannot be repaired. If the
heated seat module is damaged or faulty, the entire
module must be replaced.

OPERATION
The heated seat module operates on fused battery
current received from the heated seat relay. The
module is grounded at all times through a ground
screw located below the left rear speaker in the cab

HEATED SEAT MODULE (Continued)
of the vehicle. Inputs to the module include a resistor
multiplexed heated seat switch request circuit for
each of the two heated seat switches and the heated
seat sensor inputs from the seat cushions of each
front seat. In response to those inputs the heated
seat module controls battery current feeds to the
heated seat elements and sensors, and controls the
ground for the heated seat switch indicator lamps.
NOTE: The vehicle’s engine must be running in
order for the heated seat system to function. This
eliminates the possibility of draining the vehicles
battery voltage while operating the heated seat system.
When a heated seat switch (Driver or Passenger) is
depressed a signal is received by the heated seat
module, the module energizes the proper indicator
LED (Low or High) in the switch by grounding the
indicator lamp circuit to indicate that the heated seat
system is operating. At the same time, the heated
seat module energizes the selected heated seat sensor
circuit and the sensor provides the module with an
input indicating the surface temperature of the
selected seat cushion.
The Low heat set point is about 36° C (96.8° F),
and the High heat set point is about 42° C (107.6° F).
If the seat cushion surface temperature input is
below the temperature set point for the selected temperature setting, the heated seat module energizes
an N-channel Field Effect Transistor (N-FET) within
the module which energizes the heated seat elements
in the selected seat cushion and back. When the sensor input to the module indicates the correct temperature set point has been achieved, the module
de-energizes the N-FET which de-energizes the
heated seat elements. The heated seat module will
continue to cycle the N-FET as needed to maintain
the selected temperature set point.
If the heated seat module detects a heated seat
sensor value input that is out of range or a shorted
or open heated seat element circuit, it will notify the
vehicle operator or the repair technician of this condition by flashing the High and/or Low indicator
lamps in the affected heated seat switch. Refer to
Diagnosis and Testing Heated Seat System in
Heated Systems for flashing LED diagnosis and testing procedures. Refer to Diagnosis and Testing
Heated Seat Module in this section for heated seat
module diagnosis and testing procedures. Also refer
to the Body Diagnostic Manual for additional diagnosis and testing procedures.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - HEATED SEAT

If a heated seat fails to heat and one or both of the
indicator lamps on a heated seat switch flash, refer
to Heated Seat System Diagnosis and Testing in

BATTERY SYSTEM (Continued)
• Battery - The storage battery provides a reliable means of storing a renewable source of electrical
energy within the vehicle.
• Battery Cable - The battery cables connect the
battery terminal posts to the vehicle electrical system.
• Battery Holddown - The battery holddown
hardware secures the battery in the battery tray in
the engine compartment.
• Battery Tray - The battery tray provides a
secure mounting location in the vehicle for the battery and an anchor point for the battery holddown
hardware.
For battery system maintenance schedules and
jump starting procedures, see the owner’s manual in
the vehicle glove box. Optionally, refer to Lubrication
and Maintenance for the recommended battery maintenance schedules and for the proper battery jump
starting procedures. While battery charging can be
considered a maintenance procedure, the battery
charging procedures and related information are
located in the standard procedures section of this service manual. This was done because the battery must
be fully-charged before any battery system diagnosis
or testing procedures can be performed. Refer to
Standard procedures for the proper battery charging
procedures.

OPERATION
The battery system is designed to provide a safe,
efficient, reliable and mobile means of delivering and
storing electrical energy. This electrical energy is
required to operate the engine starting system, as
well as to operate many of the other vehicle accessory systems for limited durations while the engine
and/or the charging system are not operating. The
battery system is also designed to provide a reserve
of electrical energy to supplement the charging system for short durations while the engine is running
and the electrical current demands of the vehicle
exceed the output of the charging system. In addition
to delivering, and storing electrical energy for the
vehicle, the battery system serves as a capacitor and
voltage stabilizer for the vehicle electrical system. It
absorbs most abnormal or transient voltages caused
by the switching of any of the electrical components
or circuits in the vehicle.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - BATTERY SYSTEM
The battery, starting, and charging systems in the
vehicle operate with one another and must be tested
as a complete system. In order for the engine to start
and the battery to maintain its charge properly, all of
the components that are used in these systems must
perform within specifications. It is important that
the battery, starting, and charging systems be thoroughly tested and inspected any time a battery needs
to be charged or replaced. The cause of abnormal battery discharge, overcharging or early battery failure
must be diagnosed and corrected before a battery is
replaced and before a vehicle is returned to service.
The service information for these systems has been
separated within this service manual to make it easier to locate the specific information you are seeking.
However, when attempting to diagnose any of these
systems, it is important that you keep their interdependency in mind.
The diagnostic procedures used for the battery,
starting, and charging systems include the most
basic conventional diagnostic methods, to the more
sophisticated On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) built into
the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). Use of an
induction-type milliampere ammeter, a volt/ohmmeter, a battery charger, a carbon pile rheostat (load
tester) and a 12-volt test lamp may be required. All
OBD-sensed systems are monitored by the PCM.
Each monitored circuit is assigned a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC). The PCM will store a DTC in electronic memory for any failure it detects. Refer to
Charging System for the proper charging system onboard diagnostic test procedures.

MIDTRONICS ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TESTER
The Midtronicst automotive battery and charging
system tester is designed to help the dealership technicians diagnose the cause of a defective battery or
charging system. Follow the instruction manual supplied with the tester to properly diagnose a vehicle. If
the instruction manual is not available refer to the
standard procedure in this section, which includes
the directions for using the midtronics electrical system tester.

BATTERY
DESCRIPTION
A large capacity, low-maintenance storage battery
(Fig. 4) is standard factory-installed equipment on
this model. Refer to Battery System Specifications for
the proper specifications of the factory-installed batteries available on this model. Male post type terminals made of a soft lead material protrude from the
top of the molded plastic battery case to provide the
means for connecting the battery to the vehicle electrical system. The battery positive terminal post is
physically larger in diameter than the negative terminal post to ensure proper battery connection. The
letters POS and NEG are also molded into the top of
the battery case adjacent to their respective positive
and negative terminal posts for identification confirmation. Refer to Battery Cables for more information
on the battery cables that connect the battery to the
vehicle electrical system.
The battery is made up of six individual cells that
are connected in series. Each cell contains positively
charged plate groups that are connected with lead
straps to the positive terminal post, and negatively
charged plate groups that are connected with lead
straps to the negative terminal post. Each plate consists of a stiff mesh framework or grid coated with
lead dioxide (positive plate) or sponge lead (negative
plate). Insulators or plate separators made of a nonconductive material are inserted between the positive

and negative plates to prevent them from contacting
or shorting against one another. These dissimilar
metal plates are submerged in a sulfuric acid and
water solution called an electrolyte.
The factory-installed battery has a built-in test
indicator (hydrometer). The color visible in the sight
glass of the indicator will reveal the battery condition. Refer to Standard Procedures for the proper
built-in indicator test procedures. The factory-installed low-maintenance battery has non-removable battery cell caps. Water cannot be added
to this battery. The battery is not sealed and has
vent holes in the cell caps. The chemical composition
of the metal coated plates within the low-maintenance battery reduces battery gassing and water
loss, at normal charge and discharge rates. Therefore, the battery should not require additional water
in normal service. Rapid loss of electrolyte can be
caused by an overcharging condition. Be certain to
diagnose the charging system before returning the
vehicle to service. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
CHARGING - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - BATTERY
The battery must be completely charged and the
top, posts and terminal clamps should be properly
cleaned and inspected before diagnostic procedures
are performed. Refer to Battery System Cleaning for

WARNING: IF THE BATTERY SHOWS SIGNS OF
FREEZING, LEAKING OR LOOSE POSTS, DO NOT
TEST, ASSIST-BOOST, OR CHARGE. THE BATTERY
MAY ARC INTERNALLY AND EXPLODE. PERSONAL
INJURY AND/OR VEHICLE DAMAGE MAY RESULT.
WARNING: EXPLOSIVE HYDROGEN GAS FORMS IN
AND AROUND THE BATTERY. DO NOT SMOKE,
USE FLAME, OR CREATE SPARKS NEAR THE BATTERY. PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR VEHICLE DAMAGE MAY RESULT.
WARNING: THE BATTERY CONTAINS SULFURIC
ACID, WHICH IS POISONOUS AND CAUSTIC. AVOID
CONTACT WITH THE SKIN, EYES, OR CLOTHING.
IN THE EVENT OF CONTACT, FLUSH WITH WATER
AND CALL A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY. KEEP OUT
OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.
The condition of a battery is determined by two criteria:
• State-Of-Charge - This can be determined by
checking the specific gravity of the battery electrolyte
(built-in indicator test or hydrometer test), or by
checking the battery voltage (open-circuit voltage
test).
• Cranking Capacity - This can be determined
by performing a battery load test, which measures
the ability of the battery to supply high-amperage
current.
First, determine the battery state-of-charge. This
can be done in one of three ways. If the battery has a
built-in test indicator, perform the built-in indicator
test to determine the state-of-charge. If the battery
has no built-in test indicator but does have removable cell caps, perform the hydrometer test to determine the state-of-charge. If the battery cell caps are
not removable, or a hydrometer is not available, perform the open-circuit voltage test to determine the
state-of-charge. Refer to open-circuit voltage test in
the Standard Procedures section of this group.
Second, determine the battery cranking capacity by
performing a load test. The battery must be charged
before proceeding with a load test if:
• The battery built-in test indicator has a black or
dark color visible.
• The temperature corrected specific gravity of the
battery electrolyte is less than 1.235.
• The battery open-circuit voltage is less than 12.4
volts.

A battery that will not accept a charge is faulty,
and must be replaced. Further testing is not
required. A fully-charged battery must be load tested
to determine its cranking capacity. A battery that is
fully-charged, but does not pass the load test, is
faulty and must be replaced.
NOTE: Completely discharged batteries may take
several hours to accept a charge. Refer to Standard
Procedures for the proper battery charging procedures.
A battery is fully-charged when:
• All battery cells are gassing freely during charging.
• A green color is visible in the sight glass of the
battery built-in test indicator.
• Three corrected specific gravity tests, taken at
one-hour intervals, indicate no increase in the specific gravity of the battery electrolyte.
• Open-circuit voltage of the battery is 12.4 volts
or greater.

STANDARD PROCEDURE
STANDARD PROCEDURE - BATTERY
CHARGING
Battery charging can be performed fast or slow, it
terms of time. Slow battery charging is the best
means of restoring a battery to full potential. Fast
battery charging should only be performed when
absolutely necessary due to time restraints. A battery
is fully-charged when:
• All of the battery cells are gassing freely during
battery charging.
• A green color is visible in the sight glass of the
battery built-in test indicator.
• Three hydrometer tests, taken at one-hour intervals, indicate no increase in the temperature-corrected specific gravity of the battery electrolyte.
• Open-circuit voltage of the battery is 12.65 volts
or above.
WARNING: NEVER EXCEED TWENTY AMPERES
WHEN CHARGING A COLD (-1° C [30° F] OR
LOWER) BATTERY. THE BATTERY MAY ARC INTERNALLY AND EXPLODE. PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR
VEHICLE DAMAGE MAY RESULT.
CAUTION: Always disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable before charging a battery. Do
not exceed sixteen volts while charging a battery.
Damage to the vehicle electrical system components may result.

CAUTION: Battery electrolyte will bubble inside the
battery case during normal battery charging. Electrolyte boiling or being discharged from the battery
vents indicates a battery overcharging condition.
Immediately reduce the charging rate or turn off the
charger to evaluate the battery condition. Damage
to the battery may result from overcharging.

rent will be low. It could take some time before the
battery accepts a current greater than a few milliamperes. Such low current may not be detectable on the
ammeters built into many battery chargers.

CAUTION: The battery should not be hot to the
touch. If the battery feels hot to the touch, turn off
the charger and let the battery cool before continuing the charging operation. Damage to the battery
may result.
NOTE: Models equipped with the diesel engine
option are equipped with two 12-volt batteries, connected in parallel (positive-to-positive and negativeto-negative). In order to ensure proper charging of
each battery, these batteries MUST be disconnected
from each other, as well as from the vehicle electrical system, while being charged.
Some battery chargers are equipped with polaritysensing circuitry. This circuitry protects the battery
charger and the battery from being damaged if they
are improperly connected. If the battery state-ofcharge is too low for the polarity-sensing circuitry to
detect, the battery charger will not operate. This
makes it appear that the battery will not accept
charging current. See the instructions provided by
the manufacturer of the battery charger for details
on how to bypass the polarity-sensing circuitry.
After the battery has been charged to 12.4 volts or
greater, perform a load test to determine the battery
cranking capacity. Refer to Standard Procedures for
the proper battery load test procedures. If the battery
will endure a load test, return the battery to service.
If the battery will not endure a load test, it is faulty
and must be replaced.
Clean and inspect the battery hold downs, tray,
terminals, posts, and top before completing battery
service. Refer to Battery System Cleaning for the
proper battery system cleaning procedures, and Battery System Inspection for the proper battery system
inspection procedures.

CHARGING A COMPLETELY DISCHARGED
BATTERY
The following procedure should be used to recharge
a completely discharged battery. Unless this procedure is properly followed, a good battery may be
needlessly replaced.
(1) Measure the voltage at the battery posts with a
voltmeter, accurate to 1/10 (0.10) volt (Fig. 5). If the
reading is below ten volts, the battery charging cur-

Fig. 5 Voltmeter - Typical
(2) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable. Connect the battery charger leads. Some battery chargers are equipped with polarity-sensing circuitry. This circuitry protects the battery charger and
the battery from being damaged if they are improperly connected. If the battery state-of-charge is too
low for the polarity-sensing circuitry to detect, the
battery charger will not operate. This makes it
appear that the battery will not accept charging current. See the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the battery charger for details on how to
bypass the polarity-sensing circuitry.
(3) Battery chargers vary in the amount of voltage
and current they provide. The amount of time
required for a battery to accept measurable charging
current at various voltages is shown in the Charge
Rate Table. If the charging current is still not measurable at the end of the charging time, the battery
is faulty and must be replaced. If the charging current is measurable during the charging time, the battery may be good and the charging should be
completed in the normal manner.

CHARGING TIME REQUIRED
The 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 time
of a small capacity battery.

8F - 10

BATTERY SYSTEM

BR/BE

BATTERY (Continued)
• Temperature - A longer time will be needed to
charge a battery at -18° C (0° F) than at 27° C (80°
F). When a fast battery charger is connected to a cold
battery, the current accepted by the battery will be
very low at first. As the battery warms, it will accept
a higher charging current rate (amperage).
• Charger Capacity - A battery charger that
supplies only five amperes will require a longer
charging time. A battery charger that supplies
twenty amperes or more will require a shorter charging time.
• State-Of-Charge - A completely discharged battery requires more charging time than a partially
discharged battery. Electrolyte is nearly pure water
in a completely discharged battery. At first, the
charging current (amperage) will be low. As the battery charges, the specific gravity of the electrolyte
will gradually rise.
The Battery Charging Time Table gives an indication of the time required to charge a typical battery
at room temperature based upon the battery state-ofcharge and the charger capacity.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - BUILT-IN
INDICATOR TEST
An indicator (hydrometer) built into the top of the
battery case provides visual information for battery
testing (Fig. 6). Like a hydrometer, the built-in indicator measures the specific gravity of the battery
electrolyte. The specific gravity of the electrolyte
reveals the battery state-of-charge; however, it will
not reveal the cranking capacity of the battery. A load
test must be performed to determine the battery
cranking capacity. Refer to Standard Procedures for
the proper battery load test procedures.
Before testing, visually inspect the battery for any
damage (a cracked case or cover, loose posts, etc.)
that would cause the battery to be faulty. In order to
obtain correct indications from the built-in indicator,
it is important that the battery be level and have a

clean sight glass. Additional light may be required to
view the indicator. Do not use open flame as a
source of additional light.
To read the built-in indicator, look into the sight
glass and note the color of the indication (Fig. 7). The
battery condition that each color indicates is
described in the following list:
• Green - Indicates 75% to 100% battery state-ofcharge. The battery is adequately charged for further
testing or return to service. If the starter will not
crank for a minimum of fifteen seconds with a fullycharged battery, the battery must be load tested.
Refer to Standard Procedures for the proper battery
load test procedures.
• Black or Dark - Indicates 0% to 75% battery
state-of-charge. The battery is inadequately charged
and must be charged until a green indication is visible in the sight glass (12.4 volts or more), before the
battery is tested further or returned to service. Refer
to Standard Procedures for the proper battery charging procedures. Also refer to Diagnosis and Testing
for more information on the possible causes of the
discharged battery condition.
• Clear or Bright - Indicates a low battery electrolyte level. The electrolyte level in the battery is
below the built-in indicator. A maintenance-free battery with non-removable cell caps must be replaced if
the electrolyte level is low. Water must be added to a
low-maintenance battery with removable cell caps
before it is charged. Refer to Standard Procedures for
the proper battery filling procedures. A low electrolyte level may be caused by an overcharging condition. Refer to Charging System for the proper
charging system diagnosis and testing procedures.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - HYDROMETER TEST
The hydrometer test reveals the battery state-ofcharge by measuring the specific gravity of the electrolyte. This test cannot be performed on
maintenance-free batteries with non-removable
cell caps. If the battery has non-removable cell caps,
refer to Diagnosis and Testing for alternate methods
of determining the battery state-of-charge.
Specific gravity is a comparison of the density of
the battery electrolyte to the density of pure water.
Pure water has a specific gravity of 1.000, and sulfuric acid has a specific gravity of 1.835. Sulfuric acid
makes up approximately 35% of the battery electrolyte by weight, or 24% by volume. In a fully-charged
battery the electrolyte will have a temperature-corrected specific gravity of 1.260 to 1.290. However, a
specific gravity of 1.235 or above is satisfactory for
the battery to be load tested and/or returned to service.
Before testing, visually inspect the battery for any
damage (a cracked case or cover, loose posts, etc.)
that would cause the battery to be faulty. Then
remove the battery cell caps and check the electrolyte
level. Add distilled water if the electrolyte level is
below the top of the battery plates. Refer to Battery
System Cleaning for the proper battery inspection
procedures.
See the instructions provided by the manufacturer
of the hydrometer for recommendations on the correct use of the hydrometer that you are using.
Remove only enough electrolyte from the battery cell
so that the float is off the bottom of the hydrometer
barrel with pressure on the bulb released. To read
the hydrometer correctly, hold it with the top surface
of the electrolyte at eye level (Fig. 8).
CAUTION: Exercise care when inserting the tip of
the hydrometer into a battery cell to avoid damaging the plate separators. Damaged plate separators
can cause early battery failure.

HYDROMETER BARREL

Hydrometer floats are generally calibrated to indicate the specific gravity correctly only at 26.7° C.
When testing the specific gravity at any other temperature, a correction factor is required. The correction factor is approximately a specific gravity value
of 0.004, which may also be identified as four points
of specific gravity. For each 5.5° C above 26.7° C, add
four points. For each 5.5° C below 26.7° C, subtract
four points. Always correct the specific gravity for
temperature variation.
EXAMPLE: A battery is tested at -12.2° C and has
a specific gravity of 1.240. Determine the actual specific gravity as follows:
(1) Determine the number of degrees above or
below 26.7° C: 26.7° C + -12.2° C = 14.5° C below
the 26.7° C specification
(2) Divide the result from Step 1 by 5.5° C: 14.5°
C ÷ 5.5° C = 2.64
(3) Multiply the result from Step 2 by the temperature correction factor (0.004): 2.64 X 0.004 = 0.01
(4) The temperature at testing was below 26.7° C;
therefore, the temperature correction factor is subtracted: 1.240 - 0.01 = 1.23
(5) The corrected specific gravity of the battery cell
in this example is 1.23.

8F - 12

BATTERY SYSTEM

BR/BE

BATTERY (Continued)
Test the specific gravity of the electrolyte in each
battery cell. If the specific gravity of all cells is above
1.235, but the variation between cells is more than
fifty points (0.050), the battery should be replaced. If
the specific gravity of one or more cells is less than
1.235, charge the battery at a rate of approximately
five amperes. Continue charging the battery until
three consecutive specific gravity tests, taken at onehour intervals, are constant. If the cell specific gravity variation is more than fifty points (0.050) at the
end of 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),
the battery may be load tested to determine its
cranking capacity. Refer to Standard Procedures for
the proper battery load test procedures.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - OPEN-CIRCUIT
VOLTAGE TEST
A battery open-circuit voltage (no load) test will
show the approximate state-of-charge of a battery.
This test can be used in place of the hydrometer test
when a hydrometer is not available, or for maintenance-free batteries with non-removable cell caps.
Before proceeding with this test, completely charge
the battery (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/BATTERY
SYSTEM/BATTERY - STANDARD PROCEDURE).
(1) Before measuring the open-circuit voltage, the
surface charge must be removed from the battery.
Turn on the headlamps for fifteen seconds, then
allow up to five minutes for the battery voltage to
stabilize.
(2) Disconnect and isolate both battery cables, negative cable first.
(3) Using a voltmeter connected to the battery
posts (see the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the voltmeter), measure the open-circuit voltage (Fig. 9).

See the Open-Circuit Voltage Table. This voltage
reading will indicate the battery state-of-charge, but
will not reveal its cranking capacity. If a battery has
an open-circuit voltage reading of 12.4 volts or
greater, it may be load tested to reveal its cranking
capacity (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/BATTERY SYSTEM/BATTERY - STANDARD PROCEDURE).

STANDARD PROCEDURE - LOAD TEST
A battery load test will verify the battery cranking
capacity. The test is based on the Cold Cranking
Amperage (CCA) rating of the battery. To determine
the battery CCA rating, see the label affixed to the
battery case or refer to Battery Specifications for the
proper factory-installed specifications.
Before proceeding with this test, completely charge
the battery (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/BATTERY
SYSTEM/BATTERY - STANDARD PROCEDURE).
(1) Disconnect and isolate both battery cables, negative cable first. The battery top and posts should be
clean (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/BATTERY SYSTEM
- CLEANING).
(2) Connect a suitable volt-ammeter-load tester
(Fig. 10) to the battery posts (Fig. 11). See the
instructions provided by the manufacturer of the
tester you are using. Check the open-circuit voltage
(no load) of the battery (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
BATTERY SYSTEM/BATTERY - STANDARD PROCEDURE). The battery open-circuit voltage must be
12.4 volts or greater.

(4) Allow the battery to stabilize to open-circuit
voltage. It may take up to five minutes for the battery voltage to stabilize.
(5) Rotate the load control knob to maintain a load
equal to 50% of the CCA rating of the battery (Fig.
13). After fifteen seconds, record the loaded voltage
reading, then return the load control knob to the Off
position.
(6) The voltage drop will vary with the battery
temperature at the time of the load test. The battery
temperature can be estimated by using the ambient
temperature during the past several hours. If the
battery has been charged, boosted, or loaded a few
minutes prior to the test, the battery will be somewhat warmer. See the Load Test Temperature Table
for the proper loaded voltage reading.

The term Ignition-Off Draw (IOD) identifies a normal condition where power is being drained from the
battery with the ignition switch in the Off position. A
normal vehicle electrical system will draw from five
to thirty-five milliamperes (0.005 to 0.035 ampere)
with the ignition switch in the Off position, and all
non-ignition controlled circuits in proper working
order. Up to thirty-five milliamperes are needed to
enable the memory functions for the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), digital clock, electronically tuned
radio, and other modules which may vary with the
vehicle equipment.
A vehicle that has not been operated for approximately twenty days, may discharge the battery to an
inadequate level. When a vehicle will not be used for
twenty days or more (stored), remove the IOD fuse
from the Junction Block. This will reduce battery discharging.

8F - 14

BATTERY SYSTEM

BR/BE

BATTERY (Continued)
Excessive IOD can be caused by:
• Electrical items left on.
• Faulty or improperly adjusted switches.
• Faulty or shorted electronic modules and components.
• An internally shorted generator.
• Intermittent shorts in the wiring.
If the IOD is over thirty-five milliamperes, the
problem must be found and corrected before replacing a battery. In most cases, the battery can be

charged and returned to service after the excessive
IOD condition has been corrected.
(1) Verify that all electrical accessories are off.
Turn off all lamps, remove the ignition key, and close
all doors. If the vehicle is equipped with an illuminated entry system or an electronically tuned radio,
allow the electronic timer function of these systems
to automatically shut off (time out). This may take
up to three minutes. See the Electronic Module Ignition-Off Draw Table for more information.

(2) Determine that the underhood lamp is operating properly, then disconnect the lamp wire harness
connector or remove the lamp bulb.
(3) Disconnect the battery negative cable.
(4) Set an electronic digital multi-meter to its
highest amperage scale. Connect the multi-meter
between the disconnected battery negative cable terminal clamp and the battery negative terminal post.
Make sure that the doors remain closed so that the
illuminated entry system is not activated. The multimeter amperage reading may remain high for up to
three minutes, or may not give any reading at all
while set in the highest amperage scale, depending
upon the electrical equipment in the vehicle. The
multi-meter leads must be securely clamped to the
battery negative cable terminal clamp and the battery negative terminal post. If continuity between the
battery negative terminal post and the negative cable
terminal clamp is lost during any part of the IOD
test, the electronic timer function will be activated
and all of the tests will have to be repeated.
(5) After about three minutes, the high-amperage
IOD reading on the multi-meter should become very
low or nonexistent, depending upon the electrical
equipment in the vehicle. If the amperage reading
remains high, remove and replace each fuse or circuit
breaker in the Power Distribution Center (PDC) and

then in the Junction Block (JB), one at a time until
the amperage reading becomes very low, or nonexistent. Refer to the appropriate wiring information in
this service manual for complete PDC and JB fuse,
circuit breaker, and circuit identification. This will
isolate each circuit and identify the circuit that is the
source of the high-amperage IOD. If the amperage
reading remains high after removing and replacing
each fuse and circuit breaker, disconnect the wire
harness from the generator. If the amperage reading
now becomes very low or nonexistent, refer to Charging System for the proper charging system diagnosis
and testing procedures. After the high-amperage IOD
has been corrected, switch the multi-meter to progressively lower amperage scales and, if necessary,
repeat the fuse and circuit breaker remove-and-replace process to identify and correct all sources of
excessive IOD. It is now safe to select the lowest milliampere scale of the multi-meter to check the lowamperage IOD.
CAUTION: Do not open any doors, or turn on any
electrical accessories with the lowest milliampere
scale selected, or the multi-meter may be damaged.
(6) Observe the multi-meter reading. The low-amperage IOD should not exceed thirty-five milliamperes (0.035 ampere). If the current draw exceeds

(4) Remove the two battery hold down bolts from
the battery hold down strap (Fig. 18).

The battery hold down hardware (Fig. 17) includes
two bolts, two U-nuts and a hold down strap. The
battery hold down bracket consists of a formed steel
rod with a stamped steel angle bracket welded to
each end. The hold down bracket assembly is then
plastic-coated for corrosion protection. Models
equipped with the optional diesel engine have a second battery installed in a second battery tray on the
right side of the engine compartment. The hold down
hardware for the right side battery is mirror image of
the hold down hardware used for the left side battery.
When installing a battery into the battery tray, be
certain that the hold down hardware is properly
installed and that the fasteners are tightened to the
proper specifications. Improper hold down fastener
tightness, whether too loose or too tight, can result in
damage to the battery, the vehicle or both.

wire is installed under the nut of the left battery
negative cable terminal clamp pinch-bolt, and the
other eyelet terminal is secured with a ground screw
to the outer surface of the left frame rail, below the
left battery. The right battery negative cable terminal
is also die cast onto the ends of two wires. One wire
has an eyelet terminal that connects the right battery negative cable to the vehicle powertrain through
a ground screw on the right side of the engine block,
just forward of the right engine mount. The other
wire has an eyelet terminal that connects the right
battery negative cable to the vehicle body through a
ground screw on the right front fender inner shield,
just behind the right battery.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - BATTERY CABLES
A voltage drop test will determine if there is excessive resistance in the battery cable terminal connections or the battery cables. If excessive resistance is
found in the battery cable connections, the connection point should be disassembled, cleaned of all corrosion or foreign material, then reassembled.
Following reassembly, check the voltage drop for the
battery cable connection and the battery cable again
to confirm repair.
When performing the voltage drop test, it is important to remember that the voltage drop is giving an
indication of the resistance between the two points at
which the voltmeter probes are attached. EXAMPLE: When testing the resistance of the battery positive cable, touch the voltmeter leads to the battery
positive cable terminal clamp and to the battery positive cable eyelet terminal at the starter solenoid
B(+) terminal stud. If you probe the battery positive
terminal post and the battery positive cable eyelet
terminal at the starter solenoid B(+) terminal stud,
you are reading the combined voltage drop in the
battery positive cable terminal clamp-to-terminal
post connection and the battery positive cable.

CHARGING
DESCRIPTION
The charging system consists of:
• Generator
• Electronic Voltage Regulator (EVR) circuitry
within the Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
• Ignition switch
• Battery (refer to 8, Battery for information)
• Battery temperature sensor
• Check Gauges Lamp (if equipped)
• Voltmeter (refer to 8, Instrument Panel and
Gauges for information)
• Wiring harness and connections (refer to 8, Wiring Diagrams for information)

OPERATION
The charging system is turned on and off with the
ignition switch. The system is on when the engine is
running and the ASD relay is energized. When the
ASD relay is on, voltage is supplied to the ASD relay
sense circuit at the PCM. This voltage is connected
through the PCM and supplied to one of the generator field terminals (Gen. Source +) at the back of the
generator.
The amount of direct current produced by the generator is controlled by the EVR (field control) circuitry contained within the PCM. This circuitry is
connected in series with the second rotor field terminal and ground.
A battery temperature sensor, located in the battery tray housing, is used to sense battery temperature. This temperature data, along with data from
monitored line voltage, is used by the PCM to vary
the battery charging rate. This is done by cycling the

generator current output accordingly.
All vehicles are equipped with On-Board Diagnostics (OBD). All OBD-sensed systems, including EVR
(field control) circuitry, are monitored by the PCM.
Each monitored circuit is assigned a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC). The PCM will store a DTC in electronic memory for certain failures it detects. Refer to
On-Board Diagnostics in 25, Emission Control System for more DTC information and a list of codes.
The Check Gauges Lamp (if equipped) monitors:
charging system voltage, engine coolant temperature and engine oil pressure. If an extreme condition
is indicated, the lamp will be illuminated. This is
done as reminder to check the three gauges. The signal to activate the lamp is sent via the CCD bus circuits. The lamp is located on the instrument panel.
Refer to 8, Instrument Panel and Gauges for additional information.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - CHARGING
SYSTEM
The following procedures may be used to diagnose
the charging system if:
• the check gauges lamp (if equipped) is illuminated with the engine running
• the voltmeter (if equipped) does not register
properly
• an undercharged or overcharged battery condition occurs.
Remember that an undercharged battery is often
caused by:
• accessories being left on with the engine not
running

8F - 26

CHARGING (Continued)
• a faulty or improperly adjusted switch that
allows a lamp to stay on. Refer to Ignition-Off Draw
Test in 8, Battery for more information.
INSPECTION
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitors
critical input and output circuits of the charging system, making sure they are operational. A Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) is assigned to each input and
output circuit monitored by the On-Board Diagnostic
(OBD) system. Some charging system circuits are
checked continuously, and some are checked only
under certain conditions.
Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Codes in; Powertrain
Control Module; Electronic Control Modules for more
DTC information. This will include a complete list of
DTC’s including DTC’s for the charging system.
To perform a complete test of the charging system,
refer to the appropriate Powertrain Diagnostic Procedures service manual and the DRBt scan tool. Perform the following inspections before attaching the
scan tool.
(1) Inspect the battery condition. Refer to 8, Battery for procedures.

(2) Inspect condition of battery cable terminals,
battery posts, connections at engine block, starter
solenoid and relay. They should be clean and tight.

BATTERY TEMPERATURE
SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
The Battery Temperature Sensor (BTS) is attached
to the battery tray located under the battery.

OPERATION
The BTS is used to determine the battery temperature and control battery charging rate. This temperature data, along with data from monitored line
voltage, is used by the PCM to vary the battery
charging rate. System voltage will be higher at colder
temperatures and is gradually reduced at warmer
temperatures.
The PCM sends 5 volts to the sensor and is
grounded through the sensor return line. As temperature increases, resistance in the sensor decreases
and the detection voltage at the PCM increases.
The BTS is also used for OBD II diagnostics. Certain faults and OBD II monitors are either enabled
or disabled, depending upon BTS input (for example,
disable purge and enable Leak Detection Pump
(LDP) and O2 sensor heater tests). Most OBD II
monitors are disabled below 20°F.

REMOVAL
The battery temperature sensor is located under
the vehicle battery (Fig. 1) and is attached (snapped
into) a mounting hole on battery tray. On models
equipped with a diesel engine (dual batteries), only
one sensor is used. The sensor is located under the
battery on drivers side of vehicle.
(1) Remove battery. Refer to 8, Battery for procedures.

top of battery tray and press sensor into top of tray
(snaps in).
(2) Connect pigtail harness.
(3) Install battery. Refer to 8A, Battery for procedures.

GENERATOR
DESCRIPTION
The generator is belt-driven by the engine using a
serpentine type drive belt. It is serviced only as a
complete assembly. If the generator fails for any reason, the entire assembly must be replaced.

REMOVAL
WARNING: DISCONNECT NEGATIVE CABLE FROM
BATTERY BEFORE REMOVING BATTERY OUTPUT
WIRE (B+ WIRE) FROM GENERATOR. FAILURE TO
DO SO CAN RESULT IN INJURY OR DAMAGE TO
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.
(1) Disconnect negative battery cable at battery.
Diesel Engines: Disconnect both negative battery
cables at both batteries.
(2) Remove generator drive belt. Refer to 7, Cooling System for procedure.
(3) Gasoline Engines: Remove generator pivot and
mounting bolts/nut (Fig. 2) or (Fig. 3).
(4) Diesel Engines: Loosen (but do not remove)
generator mounting bracket-to-engine bolt (Fig. 4).
(5) All Engines: Remove upper generator mounting
bolt and lower mounting bolt/nut.
(6) Remove B+ terminal mounting nut at rear of
generator (Fig. 5) or (Fig. 6). Disconnect terminal
from generator.
(7) Disconnect field wire connector at rear of generator by pushing on connector tab.
(8) Remove generator from vehicle.

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

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

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

STARTING
DESCRIPTION
The starting system consists of:
• Starter relay
• Starter motor (including an integral starter solenoid)
Other components to be considered as part of starting system are:
• Battery
• Battery cables
• Ignition switch and key lock cylinder
• Clutch pedal position switch (manual transmission)
• Park/neutral position switch (automatic transmission)
• Wire harnesses and connections.
The Battery, Starting, and Charging systems operate in conjunction with one another, and must be
tested as a complete system. For correct operation of
starting/charging systems, all components used in
these 3 systems must perform within specifications.
When attempting to diagnose any of these systems, it
is important that you keep their interdependency in
mind.
The diagnostic procedures used in each of these
groups include the most basic conventional diagnostic
methods, to the more sophisticated On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) built into the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). Use of an induction-type milliampere
ammeter, volt/ohmmeter, battery charger, carbon pile
rheostat (load tester), and 12-volt test lamp may be
required.
Certain starting system components are monitored
by the PCM and may produce a Diagnostic Trouble
Code (DTC). Refer to Emission Control. See Diagnos-

tic Trouble Codes for additional information and a
list of codes.

OPERATION
The starting system components form two separate
circuits. A high-amperage feed circuit that feeds the
starter motor between 150 and 350 amperes (700
amperes - diesel engine), and a low-amperage control
circuit that operates on less than 20 amperes. The
high-amperage feed circuit components include the
battery, the battery cables, the contact disc portion of
the starter solenoid, and the starter motor. The lowamperage control circuit components include the ignition switch, the clutch pedal position switch (manual
transmission), the park/neutral position switch (automatic transmission), the starter relay, the electromagnetic windings of the starter solenoid, and the
connecting wire harness components.
If the vehicle is equipped with a manual transmission, it has a clutch pedal position switch installed in
series between the ignition switch and the coil battery terminal of the starter relay. This normally open
switch prevents the starter relay from being energized when the ignition switch is turned to the
momentary Start position, unless the clutch pedal is
depressed. This feature prevents starter motor operation while the clutch disc and the flywheel are
engaged. The starter relay coil ground terminal is
always grounded on vehicles with a manual transmission.
If the vehicle is equipped with an automatic transmission, battery voltage is supplied through the lowamperage control circuit to the coil battery terminal
of the starter relay when the ignition switch is
turned to the momentary Start position. The park/
neutral position switch is installed in series between
the starter relay coil ground terminal and ground.

8F - 32

STARTING

BR/BE

STARTING (Continued)
This normally open switch prevents the starter relay
from being energized and the starter motor from
operating unless the automatic transmission gear
selector is in the Neutral or Park positions.
When the starter relay coil is energized, the normally open relay contacts close. The relay contacts
connect the relay common feed terminal to the relay
normally open terminal. The closed relay contacts
energize the starter solenoid coil windings.
The energized solenoid pull-in coil pulls in the solenoid plunger. The solenoid plunger pulls the shift
lever in the starter motor. This engages the starter
overrunning clutch and pinion gear with the starter
ring gear on the manual transmission flywheel or on
the automatic transmission torque converter or
torque converter drive plate.
As the solenoid plunger reaches the end of its
travel, the solenoid contact disc completes the highamperage starter feed circuit and energizes the solenoid plunger hold-in coil. Current now flows between
the solenoid battery terminal and the starter motor,
energizing the starter.
Once the engine starts, the overrunning clutch protects the starter motor from damage by allowing the

starter pinion gear to spin faster than the pinion
shaft. When the driver releases the ignition switch to
the On position, the starter relay coil is de-energized.
This causes the relay contacts to open. When the
relay contacts open, the starter solenoid plunger
hold-in coil is de-energized.
When the solenoid plunger hold-in coil is de-energized, the solenoid plunger return spring returns the
plunger to its relaxed position. This causes the contact disc to open the starter feed circuit, and the shift
lever to disengage the overrunning clutch and pinion
gear from the starter ring gear.

Relay. These relays are located in Power Distribution
Center (PDC). Refer to label on PDC cover for relay
location.
WARNING: IF EQUIPPED WITH DIESEL ENGINE,
ATTEMPT TO START ENGINE A FEW TIMES
BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH FOLLOWING STEP.
(6) Rotate and hold ignition switch in Start position. Note cranking voltage and current (amperage)
draw readings shown on volt-ampere tester.
(a) If voltage reads below 9.6 volts, refer to
Starter Motor in Diagnosis and Testing. If starter
motor is OK, refer to Engine Diagnosis in 9,
Engine for further testing of engine. If starter
motor is not OK, replace faulty starter motor.
(b) If voltage reads above 9.6 volts and current
(amperage) draw reads below specifications, refer
to Feed Circuit Test in this section.
(c) If voltage reads 12.5 volts or greater and
starter motor does not turn, refer to Control Circuit Testing in this section.
(d) If voltage reads 12.5 volts or greater and
starter motor turns very slowly, refer to Feed Circuit Test in this section.
NOTE: A cold engine will increase starter current
(amperage) draw reading, and reduce battery voltage reading.

FEED CIRCUIT TEST
The starter feed circuit test (voltage drop method)
will determine if there is excessive resistance in
high-amperage feed circuit. For complete starter wiring circuit diagrams, refer 8, Wiring Diagrams.
When performing these tests, it is important to
remember that voltage drop is giving an indication of
resistance between two points at which voltmeter
probes are attached.
Example: When testing resistance of positive battery cable, touch voltmeter leads to positive battery
cable clamp and cable connector at starter solenoid.
If you probe positive battery terminal post and cable
connector at starter solenoid, you are reading combined voltage drop in positive battery cable clamp-toterminal post connection and positive battery cable.
The following operation will require a voltmeter
accurate to 1/10 (0.10) volt. Before performing tests,
be certain that following procedures are accomplished:
• Battery is fully-charged and load-tested. Refer to
Battery in 8, Battery.
• Fully engage parking brake.
• If equipped with manual transmission, place
gearshift selector lever in Neutral position and block
clutch pedal in fully depressed position. If equipped
with automatic transmission, place gearshift selector
lever in Park position.

STARTER MOTOR
DESCRIPTION
The starter motors used for the 5.9L diesel engine
and the 8.0L gasoline engine available in this model
are not interchangeable with each other, or with the
starter motors used for the other available engines.
The starter motor for the 5.9L diesel engine is
mounted with three screws to the flywheel housing
on the left side of the engine. The starter motor for
the 8.0L gasoline engine is mounted with two screws
to the flange on the left rear corner of the engine
block, while the starter motor for the 5.9L Gas
engine is mounted with one screw, a stud and a nut
to the manual transmission clutch housing or automatic transmission torque converter housing and is
located on the left side of the engine.
Each of these starter motors incorporates several
of the same features to create a reliable, efficient,
compact, lightweight and powerful unit. The electric
motors of all of these starters have four brushes contacting the motor commutator, and feature four electromagnetic field coils wound around four pole shoes.
The 5.9L and 8.0L gasoline engine starter motors are
rated at 1.4 kilowatts (about 1.9 horsepower) output

at 12 volts, while the 5.9L diesel engine starter
motor is rated at 2.7 kilowatts (about 3.6 horsepower) output at 12 volts.
All of these starter motors are serviced only as a
unit with their starter solenoids, and cannot be
repaired. If either component is faulty or damaged,
the entire starter motor and starter solenoid unit
must be replaced.

OPERATION
These starter motors are equipped with a gear
reduction (intermediate transmission) system. The
gear reduction system consists of a gear that is integral to the output end of the electric motor armature
shaft that is in continual engagement with a larger
gear that is splined to the input end of the starter
pinion gear shaft. This feature makes it possible to
reduce the dimensions of the starter. At the same
time, it allows higher armature rotational speed and
delivers increased torque through the starter pinion
gear to the starter ring gear.
The starter motors for all engines are activated by
an integral heavy duty starter solenoid switch
mounted to the overrunning clutch housing. This
electromechanical switch connects and disconnects

8F - 38

STARTING

BR/BE

STARTER MOTOR (Continued)
the feed of battery voltage to the starter motor, also
engaging and disengaging the starter pinion gear
with the starter ring gear.
All starter motors use an overrunning clutch and
starter pinion gear unit to engage and drive a starter
ring gear that is integral to the flywheel (manual
transmission), torque converter or torque converter
drive plate (automatic transmission) mounted on the
rear crankshaft flange.

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

Fig. 13 Starter Relay
TERMINAL LEGEND

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

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - STARTER RELAY
The starter relay (Fig. 13) is located in Power Distribution Center (PDC). Refer to PDC cover for relay
identification and location. For complete starter relay
wiring circuit diagrams, refer to 8, Wiring Diagrams.
(1) Remove starter relay from PDC.
(2) A relay in de-energized position should have
continuity between terminals 87A and 30, and no
continuity between terminals 87 and 30. If OK, go to
Step 3. If not OK, replace faulty relay.
(3) Resistance between terminals 85 and 86 (electromagnet) should be 75 ± 5 ohms. If OK, go to Step
4. If not OK, replace faulty relay.
(4) Connect 12V battery to terminals 85 and 86.
There should now be continuity between terminals
30 and 87, and no continuity between terminals 87A
and 30. If OK, perform Relay Circuit Test that follows. If not OK, replace faulty relay.

but is not used for this application. Go to Step 3.
(3) The relay normally open terminal (87) is connected to common feed terminal (30) in the energized
position. This terminal supplies battery voltage to
starter solenoid field coils. There should be continuity between cavity for relay terminal 87 and starter
solenoid terminal at all times. If OK, go to Step 4. If
not OK, repair open circuit to starter solenoid as
required.
(4) The coil battery terminal (86) is connected to
electromagnet in relay. It is energized when ignition
switch is held in Start position. On vehicles with
manual transmission, clutch pedal must be fully
depressed for this test. Check for battery voltage at
cavity for relay terminal 86 with ignition switch in
Start position, and no voltage when ignition switch is
released to On position. If OK, go to Step 5. If not
OK with automatic transmission, check for open or
short circuit to ignition switch and repair, if required.
If circuit to ignition switch is OK, refer to Ignition
Switch and Key Lock Cylinder. If not OK with a
manual transmission, check circuit between relay
and clutch pedal position switch for open or a short.

Electrically heated outside rear view mirrors are
an additional factory-installed option on models that
are equipped with factory-installed dual power mirrors. Vehicles with this option can be visually identified by the International Control and Display Symbol
icon for rear window defogger, which appears on the
lower inboard corner of each outside mirror glass
(Fig. 1); or, by the heated mirror switch that is
located in the lower left corner of the a/c heater control unit face plate. The heated mirror system helps
the vehicle operator maintain outside rear view mirror visibility during inclement operating conditions
by keeping both outside mirror glasses clear of ice,
snow, or fog. The heated mirror system for this vehicle includes the following major components:
• The heated mirror switch, including the heated
mirror system solid state electronic control logic and
timer circuitry, the heated mirror relay and the
heated mirror system indicator lamp. All of these
components are integral to the a/c heater control unit
on the instrument panel.
• The two outside mirror heating grids, which are
integral to the power outside mirror units.
Following are general descriptions of the major
components in the heated mirror system. See the
owner’s manual in the vehicle glove box for more
information on the features, use and operation of the
heated mirror system.

HEATED MIRRORS

BR/BE

HEATED MIRRORS (Continued)

OPERATION - HEATED MIRROR SYSTEM
The solid state electronic control logic and timer
circuitry for the heated mirror system receives battery current from a fuse in the Junction Block (JB)
only when the ignition switch is in the On or Start
positions. After the heated mirror system is turned
On, the electronic control logic and timer circuitry
will automatically turn the system off after a programmed time interval of about fifteen minutes.
After the initial time interval has expired, if the
heated mirror switch is depressed and released a second time during the same ignition cycle, the electronic control logic and timer circuitry will
automatically turn the heated mirror system off after
a programmed time interval of about five minutes.
The heated mirror system will be shut off automatically if the ignition switch is turned to the Off or
Accessory positions. After the heated mirror system
is turned On, it can also be turned off manually by
depressing and releasing the heated mirror switch a
second time.
When the heated mirror system is turned On, the
heated mirror system control logic and timer circuitry energizes the heated mirror system indicator
lamp and the heated mirror relay. When energized,
the heated mirror relay supplies fused ignition
switch output (run/start) current from a fuse in the
JB to the outside mirror heating grids located behind
the mirror glass of each of the outside rear view mirrors. When energized, each of the outside mirror
heating grids produces enough heat to warm the
glass of the outside rear view mirrors.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - HEATED MIRROR
SYSTEM
If only one of the outside mirror heating grids is
inoperative, perform continuity checks on the circuits
and heater grid for that mirror only. If both outside
mirror heating grids are inoperative, proceed with
the heated mirror system diagnosis as follows. (Refer
to Appropriate Wiring Information).
WARNING: ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIRBAGS, DISABLE THE AIRBAG SYSTEM BEFORE
ATTEMPTING ANY STEERING WHEEL, STEERING
COLUMN, OR INSTRUMENT PANEL COMPONENT
DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. DISCONNECT AND ISOLATE THE BATTERY NEGATIVE (GROUND) CABLE,
THEN WAIT TWO MINUTES FOR THE AIRBAG SYSTEM CAPACITOR TO DISCHARGE BEFORE PERFORMING FURTHER DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. THIS
IS THE ONLY SURE WAY TO DISABLE THE AIRBAG
SYSTEM. FAILURE TO TAKE THE PROPER PRECAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL
INJURY.

The operation of the heated mirror system can be
confirmed in one of the following manners:
• Turn the ignition switch to the On position.
While monitoring the instrument panel voltmeter,
momentarily depress and release the heated mirror
switch. When the heated mirror system is turned On,
a distinct voltmeter needle deflection should be
noted.
• Turn the ignition switch to the On position.
Momentarily depress and release the heated mirror
switch to turn the heated mirror system On. The
heated mirror operation can be checked by feeling
the outside rear view mirror glass. A distinct difference in temperature between the unheated and
heated mirror glass can be detected within three to
four minutes of system operation.
The above checks will confirm system operation.
Illumination of the heated mirror system indicator
lamp means that there is electrical current available
at the heated mirror relay, but does not confirm that
the electrical current is reaching the outside mirror
heating grids.
If the heated mirror system does not operate, the
problem should be isolated in the following manner:
(1) Confirm that the ignition switch is in the On
position.
(2) Check the fuses in the Power Distribution Center (PDC) and in the Junction Block (JB). The fuses
must be tight in their receptacles and all electrical
connections must be secure.
When the above steps have been completed and
both outside mirror heating grids are still inoperative, one or more of the following is faulty:
• Heated mirror switch, electronic control logic
and timer circuitry, and heated mirror relay.
• Heated mirror wire harness circuits or connectors.
• Outside mirror heating grid (both mirror grids
would have to be faulty).
If turning On the heated mirror system produces a
severe voltmeter deflection or fuse failures, check for
a shorted circuit between the output of the heated
mirror relay and the outside mirror heating grids.

MIRROR SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The heated mirror switch, the heated mirror system indicator lamp, the heated mirror system solid
state electronic control logic and timer circuitry and
the heated mirror relay are all integral to the a/c
heater control, which is located between the instrument cluster and the radio near the center of the
instrument cluster bezel on the instrument panel.

automatically after about five minutes. When the
electronic control logic and timer circuit detects that
a programmed time interval has elapsed, it will automatically de-energize the heated mirror system indicator lamp and the heated mirror relay. The heated
mirror system will also be turned Off if the heated
mirror switch is depressed while the system is
turned On, or if the ignition switch is turned to the
Off or Accessory positions.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - HEATED MIRROR

tem indicator lamp are visible in the lower left corner
of the a/c heater control face plate (Fig. 2).
The heated mirror switch, the heated mirror system indicator lamp, the heated mirror system solid
state electronic control logic and timer circuitry and
the heated mirror relay cannot be repaired. If any of
these components is damaged or faulty, the entire a/c
heater control must be replaced. (Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING/CONTROLS/A/C
HEATER CONTROL - REMOVAL)

OPERATION
The momentary-type heated mirror switch provides
a hard-wired battery current signal to the heated
mirror system electronic control logic circuitry each
time it is depressed. In response to the heated mirror
switch input, the electronic control logic and timer
circuitry energizes or de-energizes the amber heated
mirror system indicator lamp next to the heated mirror switch to indicate that the heated mirror system
is turned On or Off. The electronic control logic and
timer circuitry also energizes or de-energizes the
heated mirror relay, which controls the feed of electrical current to the outside mirror heating grids.
The heated mirror system electronic control logic
and timer circuitry is programmed to turn the heated
mirror system Off automatically after about fifteen
minutes of operation. If the heated mirror system is
turned On a second time following an initial time-out
event during the same ignition switch cycle, the
heated mirror system electronic control logic and
timer circuit is programmed to turn the system Off

HEATED MIRROR GRID
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with the optional heated mirror
system have an electrically operated heating grid
located behind the mirror glass of each power operated outside rear view mirror. The outside mirror
heating grid consists of two thin laminations of plastic that approximate the outer dimensions and shape
of the mirror glass. A single length of resistor wire
weaves in a back and forth pattern between, and is
held in place by the two thin laminations of plastic.
The two ends of the resistor wire terminate near the
inboard edge of the grid, where they are soldered to
the ground feed and battery current feed wires contained in the power mirror wire harness. The heating
grid is then sandwiched between the back of the
molded plastic mirror glass case and the mirror
glass, where it remains in direct contact with the
back of the mirror glass at all times.
The outside mirror heating grids cannot be
repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the entire outside
power mirror unit must be replaced. Refer to Power
Mirrors for the service procedures.

OPERATION
One end of the outside mirror heating grid resistor
wire is connected to a ground feed at all times
through a body ground screw located inside the left
rear corner of the truck cab. Battery current is
directed to the other end of the outside mirror heating grid resistor wire by the energized heated mirror
relay when the heated mirror switch is in the On
position. As electrical current passes through the
heating grid, the resistance of the wire in the heating
grid converts some of that electrical current into
heat. The heat produced by the heating grid is then
conducted through the back of the mirror glass to
help keep the glass clear of ice, snow or fog.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - HEATED MIRROR
GRID
For circuit descriptions and diagrams (Refer to
Appropriate Wiring Information).
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable. Disconnect the door wire harness connector
from the power mirror wire harness connector at the
power mirror with the inoperative heating grid.
Check for continuity between the ground circuit cavity in the door wire harness connector for the power
mirror and a good ground. If OK, go to Step 2. If not
OK, repair the open ground circuit to ground as
required.
(2) Reconnect the battery negative cable. Turn the
ignition switch to the On position. Turn on the
heated mirror system. Check for voltage (battery
voltage less the resistance in the outside mirror heating grid that is still connected) at the fused heated
mirror relay output circuit cavity in the door wire
harness connector for the power mirror. If OK, go to
Step 3. If not OK, repair the open fused heated mirror relay output circuit to the heater and air conditioner control unit as required.
(3) Check the outside mirror heating grid by testing for continuity between the ground circuit and the
fused heated mirror relay output circuit cavities in
the power mirror wire harness connector. There

HEATED SEAT SYSTEM

Individually controlled electrically heated front
seats are available factory-installed optional equipment on the Ram quad cab models that are also
equipped with the optional SLT Plus (leather) trim
package. Vehicles with this option can be visually
identified by the two separate heated seat switches
mounted in a bezel located in the lower right corner
of the instrument cluster bezel, next to the radio
receiver (Fig. 1). The heated seat system allows the
front seat driver and passenger to select from two
different levels of supplemental electrical seat heating, or no seat heating to suit their individual comfort requirements. The heated seat system for this
vehicle includes the following major components,
which are described in further detail later in this section:
• Heated Seat Switches - Two heated seat
switches are used per vehicle, including two LightEmitting Diode (LED) indicator lamps and an incandescent back lighting bulb for each switch. One
switch for the driver and one for the passenger front
seats. The switches are mounted in the instrument
panel, next to the radio.
• Heated Seat Module - also referred to as the
Seat Heat Interface Module (SHIM), this module contains the solid state electronic control and diagnostic
logic circuitry for the heated seat system. One heated
seat module is used per vehicle and is mounted
under the center front seat cushion. Refer to the
Electronic Control Modules section of the service
manual for heated seat module information.

HEATED SEAT SYSTEM (Continued)
• Heated Seat Elements - Four heated seat elements are used per vehicle, one for each front seat
back and one for each front seat cushion. The elements are integral to the individual front seat and
seat back cushions and cannot be removed once
installed at the factory. Service replacement seat
heating elements are available, without having to
replace the entire seat cushion or trim cover. Refer to
the procedure in this section.
• Heated Seat Sensors - Two heated seat sensors are used per vehicle, one for each front seat. The
sensors are integral to the individual front seat heating elements and cannot be removed once installed at
the factory. Service replacement seat heating elements with the sensors are available, without having
to replace the entire seat cushion or trim cover. Refer
to the procedure in this section.
• Heated Seat Relay - The heated seat relay
controls the battery voltage and current supply to the
heated seat module and the rest of the heated seat
system. The heated seat relay is mounted in the
junction block and is not different than the other
relays used throughout the vehicle. Refer to the
Power Distribution section of the service manual for
more information on standard ISO relays.
Following are general descriptions of the major
components in the heated seat system. See the owner’s manual in the vehicle glove box for more information on the features, use and operation of the
heated seat system. Refer to Wiring Diagrams for
the location of complete heated seat system wiring
diagrams.

OPERATION
The heated seat module receives fused battery current through the energized heated seat relay in the
Junction Block (JB) only when the engine is running.
The heated seat switches receive battery current
through fuse #2 in the Junction Block only when the
ignition switch is in the On position. The heated seat
module shares a common ground circuit with each of
the heated seat elements. The heated seat elements
will only operate when the surface temperature of
the seat cushion is below the designed temperature
set points of the system.
The heated seat system will also be turned off
automatically whenever the ignition switch is turned
to any position except On or if the engine quits running. If the ignition switch is turned to the Off position or if the engine quits running while a heated
seat is turned ON, the heated seat will remain Off
after the engine is restarted until a heated seat
switch is depressed again.
The heated seat module monitors inputs from the
heated seat sensors and the heated seat switches. In
response to these inputs the heated seat module uses

its internal programming to control outputs to the
heated seat elements in both front seats and to control the heated seat LED indicator lamps located in
both of the heated seat switches. The heated seat
module is also programmed to provide a self-diagnostic capability. When the module detects certain failures within the heated seat system, it will provide a
visual indication of the failure by flashing the indicator lamps in the heated seat switches. The heated
seat module will automatically turn off the heated
seat elements if it detects a short or open in the
heated seat element circuit or a heated seat sensor
value that is out of range.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - HEATED SEAT
SYSTEM
HEATED SEAT SYSTEM SELF-DIAGNOSIS
The heated seat system is capable of performing
some self-diagnostics. The following table depicts the
various monitored failures which will be reported to
the vehicle operator or technician by flashing the
individual heated seat switch Light Emitting Diode
(LED) indicator lamps. Refer to the Heated Seat System Self-Diagnosis table for failure identification.
The driver side heated seat switch indicator lamps
will flash if a failure occurs in the driver side heated
seat, and the passenger side heated seat switch indicator lamps will flash for a passenger side heated
seat failure. If a monitored heated seat system failure occurs, the switch indicator lamps will flash at a
pulse rate of about one-half second on, followed by
about one-half second off for a duration of about one
minute after the switch for the faulty heated seat is
depressed in either the Low or High direction. This
process will repeat every time the faulty heated seat
switch is actuated until the problem has been corrected.

The momentary, bidirectional rocker-type heated
seat switch provides a resistor-multiplexed signal to
the heated seat module on the mux circuit. Each
switch has a center neutral position and momentary
Low and High positions so that both the driver and
the front seat passenger can select a preferred level
of seat heating. Each heated seat switch has two
Light-Emitting Diode (LED) indicator lamps, which
indicate the selected mode (Low or High) of the seat
heater. These indicator lamps also provide diagnostic
feedback for the heated seat system. Each switch
also has an incandescent bulb, which provides dimmer controlled back lighting of the switch when the
headlamps or park lamps are on.
The two LED indicator lamps and the incandescent
bulb in each heated seat switch cannot be repaired. If
the indicator lamps or back lighting bulb are faulty
or damaged, the individual heated seat switch must

The heated seat switches receive battery current
through a fused ignition switch output (run) circuit
when the ignition switch is in the On position.
Depressing the heated seat switch rocker to its
momentary High or Low position provides a hardwired resistor multiplexed voltage request signal to
the heated seat module to power the heated seat element of the selected seat and maintain the requested
temperature setting. If the heated seat switch is
depressed to a different position (Low or High) than
the currently selected state, the heated seat module
will change states to support the new selection. If a
heated seat switch is depressed a second time to the
same position as the currently selected state, the
heated seat module interprets the second input as a
request to turn the seat heater off. The heated seat
module will then turn the heated seat elements for
that seat off.
The indicator lamps in the heated seat switches
receive battery current through a fused ignition
switch output (run) circuit when the ignition switch
is in the On position. The ground side of each indicator lamp is controlled by a separate (high or low/
driver or passenger) indicator lamp driver circuit by
the heated seat module. The heated seat module control of the switch indicator lamps also allows the
module to provide diagnostic feedback to the vehicle
operator to indicate monitored heated seat system
faults by flashing the indicator lamps on and off. One

Vehicles equipped with the optional heated seat
system have two sets of electrically operated heating
element grids located in each front seat, one set for
the seat cushion and the other set for the seat back.
Each of the heated seat element grids consists of a
single length of resistor wire that is routed in a zigzag pattern and captured between a covering and the
adhesive foam rubber backing. Short pigtail wires
with connectors (Fig. 5) are soldered to each end of
each resistor wire element grid, which connect all of
the element grids for each seating position to each
other in series with the heated seat module through
the seat wire harness.

HEATED SEAT SYSTEM

BR/BE

8G - 11

HEATED SEAT ELEMENT (Continued)
One temperature sensor is used for each outboard
seating position of the front seat, and it is located in
the center insert area of the seat cushion cover. The
heated seat sensors and their pigtail wires are also
captured between a covering and the adhesive foam
rubber backing. The heated seat sensors are Negative Thermal Coefficient (NTC) thermistors. The sensors for both front seats receive a voltage feed from a
single output of the heated seat module, but the module receives individual sensor inputs from the driver
side and passenger side sensors.
The heated seat elements and sensors should not
be repaired. If damaged or faulty, the heated seat element assembly must be replaced. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/HEATED
SEATS/HEATED
SEAT
ELEMENT - REMOVAL).

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - HEATED SEAT
ELEMENT AND SENSOR
The heated seat module will self-diagnose shorted
or open heated seat element circuits and sensor circuits. Refer to Heated Seat System Diagnosis and
Testing in this section for additional diagnosis and
testing procedures. To manually check the heated
seat element and sensor circuits, proceed as follows.
The wire harness connectors for the seat cushion and
seat back heating elements and sensor are located
under the seat, near the rear edge of the seat cushion frame (Fig. 6) . Refer to Wiring Diagrams for
the location of complete heated seat system wiring
diagrams.

OPERATION
One end of the heated seat element resistor wire is
connected to a ground feed at all times through a
splice in the heated seat module ground circuit. Battery current is directed to the other end of the heated
seat element resistor wire by the energized N-channel Field Effect Transistor (N-FET) located within
the heated seat module. The heated seat module will
energize the N-FET only when the heated seat
switch is in the Low or High position and the heated
seat sensor indicates that the seat cushion surface
temperature is below the selected (Low or High) temperature set point. As electrical current passes
through the heating element grid, the resistance of
the wire used in the element disperses some of that
electrical current in the form of heat. The heat produced by the heated seat element grid then radiates
through the underside of the seat cushion and seat
back trim covers, warming the seat cover and its
occupant.
The resistance of the heated seat sensor increases
and decreases as the surface temperature of the seat
cushion cover changes. The heated seat module supplies each sensor with a voltage feed, then detects
the sensor resistance by monitoring the voltage of the
separate sensor return circuits. The heated seat module compares the heated seat sensor resistance (seat
cushion surface temperature) with the heated seat
switch resistance (Low or High set point) to determine when the heated seat element grids need to be
cycled on or off in order to maintain the selected temperature set point.

HEATED SEAT RELAY
DESCRIPTION
The heated seat relay is an electromechanical device
that switches battery current to the heated seat module
when the relay control coil is energized. The heated seat
relay is located in the Junction Block (JB), on the left
end of the instrument panel in the passenger compartment (Fig. 14). The heated seat relay is a International
Standards Organization (ISO) micro-relay. Relays conforming to the ISO specifications have common physical
dimensions, current capacities, terminal patterns, and
terminal functions. The ISO micro-relay terminal functions are the same as a conventional ISO relay. However, the ISO micro-relay terminal pattern (or footprint)
is different, the current capacity is lower, and the phys-

ical dimensions are smaller than those of the conventional ISO relay.
The heated seat relay cannot be repaired or
adjusted and, if faulty or damaged, it must be
replaced.

OPERATION
The ISO relay consists of an electromagnetic coil, a
resistor or diode, and three (two fixed and one movable) electrical contacts. The movable (common feed)
relay contact is held against one of the fixed contacts
(normally closed) by spring pressure. When the electromagnetic coil is energized, it draws the movable
contact away from the normally closed fixed contact,
and holds it against the other (normally open) fixed
contact. When the electromagnetic coil is de-energized, spring pressure returns the movable contact to
the normally closed position. The resistor or diode is
connected in parallel with the electromagnetic coil in
the relay, and helps to dissipate voltage spikes that
are produced when the coil is de-energized.
The heated seat relay is controlled by the premium
version of the Central Timer Module (CTM), which
controls the ground feed to the coil ground terminal
of the relay to energize and de-energize the electromagnetic coil of the relay. The CTM monitors engine
operation through messages it receives from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) over the Chrysler Collision Detection (CCD) data bus network. The CTM is
programmed to energize the relay only when the
engine is running, and to de-energize the relay when
the engine is not running. Refer to Central Timer
Module in the index of this service manual for the
location of more information on the premium CTM.

DESCRIPTION
The heated seat switches are both mounted in a
heated seat switch bezel (Fig. 17), which replaces the
standard equipment cubby bin located in the lower
right corner of the instrument cluster bezel next to
the radio receiver. The two switches are snapped into
the mounting holes of the heated seat switch bezel,
and the heated seat switch bezel is secured with
three screws to the instrument panel. The mounts for
the heated seat switch bezel are concealed behind the
instrument cluster bezel. The two heated seat
switches are identical in appearance and construction, except for the location of a keyway in the single
connector receptacle on the back of each switch. The
instrument panel wire harness connectors for the
heated seat switches are keyed to match the connector receptacles on the switches so that the two
heated seat switches can only be connected to the
proper heated seat electrical.
The momentary, bidirectional rocker-type heated
seat switch provides a resistor-multiplexed signal to
the heated seat module on the mux circuit. Each
switch has a center neutral position and momentary
Low and High positions so that both the driver and

heated seat module interprets the second input as a
request to turn the seat heater off. The heated seat
module will then turn the heated seat elements for
that seat off.
The indicator lamps in the heated seat switches
receive battery current through a fused ignition
switch output (run) circuit when the ignition switch
is in the On position. The ground side of each indicator lamp is controlled by a separate (high or low/
driver or passenger) indicator lamp driver circuit by
the heated seat module. The heated seat module control of the switch indicator lamps also allows the
module to provide diagnostic feedback to the vehicle
operator to indicate monitored heated seat system
faults by flashing the indicator lamps on and off. One
side of the incandescent back lighting bulb in each
heated seat switch is connected to ground at all
times. The other side of the incandescent bulb is connected to the fused panel lamps dimmer switch signal circuit. These bulbs are energized when the park
lamps or headlamps are turned on, and their illumination intensity is controlled by the panel lamps dimmer switch.

HORN
DESCRIPTION
An electric horn system is standard factory-installed equipment on this model. Two horn systems
are offered on this model. The standard equipment
horn system features a single low-note electromagnetic horn unit, while the optional dual horn system
features one low-note horn unit and one high-note
horn unit. Both horn systems use a non-switched
source of battery current so that the system will
remain functional, regardless of the ignition switch
position. The horn system includes the following components:
• Clockspring
• High-line or premium Central Timer Module
(CTM)
• Horn(s)
• Horn relay
• Horn switch
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/RESTRAINTS/CLOCKSPRING - DESCRIPTION) for more information on
this component. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES/BODY CONTROL/
CENTRAL TIMER MODUL - DESCRIPTION) for
more information on this component. Refer to the
appropriate wiring information. The wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector repair procedures, details of wire harness
routing and retention, connector pin-out information
and location views for the various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds. Following are general
descriptions of the remaining major components in
the horn system.

OPERATION
Each horn system is activated by a horn switch
concealed beneath the driver side airbag module trim
cover in the center of the steering wheel. Depressing
the center of the driver side airbag module trim cover
closes the horn switch. Closing the horn switch activates the horn relay. The activated horn relay then
switches the battery current needed to energize the
horn(s).
Refer to the owner’s manual in the vehicle glove
box for more information on the features, use and
operation of the horn system.

CENTRAL TIMER MODULE
The high-line or premium Central Timer Module
(CTM) can also operate the horn system. A high-line
CTM is used on high-line versions of this vehicle. A
premium CTM is used on vehicles equipped with the
optional heated seats. The CTM combines the functions of a chime/buzzer module, an intermittent wipe
module, an illuminated entry module, a remote keyless entry module, and a vehicle theft security system module in a single unit.
The high-line or premium CTM also controls and
integrates many of the additional electronic functions
and features included on models with this option.
The horn relay is one of the hard wired outputs of
the CTM. The high-line or premium CTM is programmed to energize or de-energize the horn relay in
response to certain inputs from the Vehicle Theft
Security System (VTSS) and/or the Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) system.

HORN
DESCRIPTION
The standard single, low-note, electromagnetic diaphragm-type horn is secured with a bracket to the
right front fender wheel house extension in the
engine compartment. The high-note horn for the
optional dual-note horn system is connected in parallel with and secured with a bracket just forward of
the low-note horn. Each horn is grounded through its
wire harness connector and circuit to a ground splice
joint connector, and receives battery feed through the
closed contacts of the horn relay.
The horns cannot be repaired or adjusted and, if
faulty or damaged, they must be individually
replaced.

OPERATION
Within the two halves of the molded plastic horn
housing are a flexible diaphragm, a plunger, an electromagnetic coil and a set of contact points. The diaphragm is secured in suspension around its
perimeter by the mating surfaces of the horn housing. The plunger is secured to the center of the diaphragm and extends into the center of the
electromagnet. The contact points control the current
flow through the electromagnet.
When the horn is energized, electrical current
flows through the closed contact points to the electromagnet. The resulting electromagnetic field draws
the plunger and diaphragm toward it until that
movement mechanically opens the contact points.
When the contact points open, the electromagnetic
field collapses allowing the plunger and diaphragm to
return to their relaxed positions and closing the contact points again. This cycle continues repeating at a
very rapid rate producing the vibration and movement of air that creates the sound that is directed
through the horn outlet.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - HORN
For complete circuit diagrams, refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wiring information
includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector
repair procedures, details of wire harness routing
and retention, connector pin-out information and
location views for the various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.

(1) Disconnect the wire harness connector(s) from
the horn connector receptacle(s). Measure the resistance between the ground circuit cavity of the horn(s)
wire harness connector(s) and a good ground. There
should be no measurable resistance. If OK, go to Step
2. If not OK, repair the open ground circuit to ground
as required.
(2) Check for battery voltage at the horn relay output circuit cavity of the horn(s) wire harness connector(s). There should be zero volts. If OK, go to Step 3.
If not OK, repair the shorted horn relay output circuit or replace the faulty horn relay as required.
(3) Depress the horn switch. There should now be
battery voltage at the horn relay output circuit cavity
of the horn(s) wire harness connector(s). If OK,
replace the faulty horn(s). If not OK, repair the open
horn relay output circuit to the horn relay as
required.

REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.

can usually be quickly resolved by removing the horn
relay from the PDC until further diagnosis is completed. See the fuse and relay layout label affixed to
the inside surface of the PDC cover for horn relay
identification and location. For complete circuit diagrams, refer to the appropriate wiring information.
The wiring information includes wiring diagrams,
proper wire and connector repair procedures, details
of wire harness routing and retention, connector pinout information and location views for the various

HORN RELAY
DESCRIPTION
The horn relay is a electromechanical device that
switches battery current to the horn when the horn
switch grounds the relay coil. The horn relay is
located in the Power Distribution Center (PDC) in
the engine compartment. If a problem is encountered
with a continuously sounding horn, it can usually be
quickly resolved by removing the horn relay from the
PDC until further diagnosis is completed. See the
fuse and relay layout label affixed to the inside surface of the PDC cover for horn relay identification
and location.
The horn relay is a International Standards Organization (ISO) micro-relay. Relays conforming to the
ISO specifications have common physical dimensions,
current capacities, terminal patterns, and terminal
functions. The ISO micro-relay terminal functions
are the same as a conventional ISO relay. However,
the ISO micro-relay terminal pattern (or footprint) is
different, the current capacity is lower, and the physical dimensions are smaller than those of the conventional ISO relay.
The horn relay cannot be repaired or adjusted and,
if faulty or damaged, it must be replaced.

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

HORN SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
A center-blow, normally open, resistive membranetype horn switch is secured with heat stakes to the
back side of the driver side airbag module trim cover
in the center of the steering wheel (Fig. 4) . The
switch consists of two plastic membranes, one that is
flat and one that is slightly convex. These two membranes are secured to each other around the perimeter. Inside the switch, the centers of the facing
surfaces of these membranes each has a grid made
with an electrically conductive material applied to it.
One of the grids is connected to a circuit that provides it with continuity to ground at all times. The
grid of the other membrane is connected to the horn
relay control circuit.
The steering wheel and steering column must be
properly grounded in order for the horn switch to
function properly. The horn switch is only serviced as
a part of the driver side airbag module trim cover. If

TO TAKE THE PROPER PRECAUTIONS COULD
RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT
AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL INJURY.

When the center area of the driver side airbag trim
cover is depressed, the electrically conductive grids
on the facing surfaces of the horn switch membranes
contact each other, closing the switch circuit. The
completed horn switch circuit provides a ground for
the control coil side of the horn relay, which activates
the relay. When the horn switch is released, the
resistive tension of the convex membrane separates
the two electrically conductive grids and opens the
switch circuit.

(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable. Remove the steering column opening cover
from the instrument panel.
(2) Check for continuity between the metal steering column jacket and a good ground. There should
be continuity. If OK, go to Step 3. If not OK,(Refer to
19 - STEERING/COLUMN - INSTALLATION) for
proper installation of the steering column.
(3) Remove the driver side airbag module from the
steering wheel. Disconnect the horn switch wire harness connectors from the driver side airbag module.
(4) Remove the horn relay from the Power Distribution Center (PDC). Check for continuity between
the steering column half of the horn switch feed wire
harness connector and a good ground. There should
be no continuity. If OK, go to Step 5. If not OK,
repair the shorted horn relay control circuit to the
horn relay in the PDC as required.
(5) Check for continuity between the steering column half of the horn switch feed wire harness connector and the horn relay control circuit cavity for
the horn relay in the PDC. There should be continuity. If OK, go to Step 6. If not OK, repair the open
horn relay control circuit to the horn relay in the
PDC as required.
(6) Check for continuity between the horn switch
feed wire and the horn switch ground wire on the
driver side airbag module. There should be no continuity. If OK, go to Step 7. If not OK, replace the
faulty horn switch.
(7) Depress the center of the driver side airbag
module trim cover and check for continuity between
the horn switch feed wire and the horn switch
ground wire on the driver side airbag module. There
should now be continuity. If not OK, replace the
faulty horn switch.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - ASD AND FUEL
PUMP RELAYS
The following description of operation and
tests apply only to the Automatic Shutdown
(ASD) and fuel pump relays. The terminals on the
bottom of each relay are numbered. Two different
types of relays may be used, (Fig. 1) or (Fig. 2).

IGNITION TIMING
Ignition timing is not adjustable on any engine.

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

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

• Terminal number 30 is connected to battery voltage. For both the ASD and fuel pump relays, terminal 30 is connected to battery voltage at all times.
• The PCM grounds the coil side of the relay
through terminal number 85.
• Terminal number 86 supplies voltage to the coil
side of the relay.
• When the PCM de-energizes the ASD and fuel
pump relays, terminal number 87A connects to terminal 30. This is the Off position. In the off position,
voltage is not supplied to the rest of the circuit. Terminal 87A is the center terminal on the relay.
• When the PCM energizes the ASD and fuel
pump relays, terminal 87 connects to terminal 30.
This is the On position. Terminal 87 supplies voltage
to the rest of the circuit.
The following procedure applies to the ASD and
fuel pump relays.
(1) Remove relay from connector before testing.
(2) With the relay removed from the vehicle, use
an ohmmeter to check the resistance between terminals 85 and 86. The resistance should be 75 ohms +/5 ohms.
(3) Connect the ohmmeter between terminals 30
and 87A. The ohmmeter should show continuity
between terminals 30 and 87A.
(4) Connect the ohmmeter between terminals 87
and 30. The ohmmeter should not show continuity at
this time.
(5) Connect one end of a jumper wire (16 gauge or
smaller) to relay terminal 85. Connect the other end
of the jumper wire to the ground side of a 12 volt
power source.
(6) Connect one end of another jumper wire (16
gauge or smaller) to the power side of the 12 volt
power source. Do not attach the other end of the
jumper wire to the relay at this time.
WARNING: DO NOT ALLOW OHMMETER TO CONTACT TERMINALS 85 OR 86 DURING THIS TEST.
DAMAGE TO OHMMETER MAY RESULT.
(7) Attach the other end of the jumper wire to
relay terminal 86. This activates the relay. The ohmmeter should now show continuity between relay terminals 87 and 30. The ohmmeter should not show
continuity between relay terminals 87A and 30.
(8) Disconnect jumper wires.

(9) Replace the relay if it did not pass the continuity and resistance tests. If the relay passed the tests,
it operates properly. Check the remainder of the ASD
and fuel pump relay circuits. Refer to 8, Wiring Diagrams.

REMOVAL

the ECM relating engine speed and crankshaft position.
The sensor detects machined notches on the rear
face of the camshaft drive gear (Fig. 7) to sense
engine speed.
The CMP also detects an area on the camshaft
drive gear that has no notch (Fig. 7). When the sensor passes this area, it tells the Engine Control Module (ECM) that Top Dead Center (TDC) of the
number 1 cylinder is occurring. The ECM will then
adjust fuel timing accordingly.
As the tip of the sensor passes the notches, the
interruption of magnetic field causes voltage changes
from 5 volts to 0 volts.

OPERATION - 5.9L
The sensor contains a hall effect device called a
sync signal generator to generate a fuel sync signal.
This sync signal generator detects a rotating pulse
ring (shutter) on the distributor shaft. The pulse ring
rotates 180 degrees through the sync signal generator. Its signal is used in conjunction with the Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor to differentiate between
fuel injection and spark events. It is also used to synchronize 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 voltage

The CMP sensor is used in conjunction with the
crankshaft position sensor to differentiate between
fuel injection and spark events. It is also used to synchronize the fuel injectors with their respective cylinders. The sensor generates electrical pulses. These
pulses (signals) are sent to the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM). The PCM will then determine crankshaft position from both the camshaft position sensor
and crankshaft position sensor.
A low and high area are machined into the camshaft drive gear (Fig. 8). The sensor is positioned in
the timing gear cover so that a small air gap (Fig. 8)
exists between the face of sensor and the high
machined area of cam gear.
When the cam gear is rotating, the sensor will
detect the machined low area. Input voltage from the
sensor to the PCM will then switch from a low
(approximately 0.3 volts) to a high (approximately 5
volts). When the sensor detects the high machined
area, the input voltage switches back low to approximately 0.3 volts.

If Replacing Old Sensor With Original
The camshaft position sensor is located on the timing chain case/cover on the left-front side of the
engine (Fig. 12).
When installing a used camshaft position sensor,
the sensor depth must be adjusted to prevent contact
with the camshaft gear (sprocket).
(1) Observe the face of the sensor. If any of the
original rib material remains (Fig. 13), it must be cut
down flush to the face of the sensor with a razor
knife. Remove only enough of the rib material until
the face of the sensor is flat. Do not remove more
material than necessary as damage to sensor may
result. Due to a high magnetic field and possible electrical damage to the sensor, never use an electric
grinder to remove material from sensor.
(2) From the parts department, obtain a peel-andstick paper spacer (Fig. 13). These special paper
spacers are of a certain thickness and are to be used
as a tool to set sensor depth.
(3) Clean the face of sensor and apply paper
spacer (Fig. 13).
(4) Apply a small amount of engine oil to the sensor o-ring (Fig. 14).
A low and high area are machined into the camshaft drive gear (Fig. 15). The sensor is positioned in
the timing gear cover so that a small air gap (Fig.
15) exists between the face of sensor and the high
machined area of cam gear.
Before the sensor is installed, the cam gear may
have to be rotated. This is to allow the high
machined area on the gear to be directly in front of
the sensor mounting hole opening on the timing gear
cover.
Do not install sensor with gear positioned at
low area (Fig. 16) or (Fig. 15). When the engine
is started, the sensor will be broken.

it is OK to install sensor. Proceed to step Step 9.
(4) If the dimension is approximately 2.018 inches,
the cam gear will have to be rotated.
(5) Attach a socket to the vibration damper mounting bolt and rotate engine until the 1.818 inch

(6) Install the sensor into the timing case/cover
with a slight rocking action. Do not twist the sensor
into position as damage to the o-ring may result.
Push the sensor all the way into the cover until the
rib material on the sensor (Fig. 13) contacts the camshaft gear.
(7) Install the mounting bolt and tighten to 6 N·m

OPERATION
The camshaft position sensor provides fuel injection synchronization and cylinder identification.
The distributor does not have built in centrifugal
or vacuum assisted advance. Base ignition timing
and all timing advance is controlled by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). Because ignition timing
is controlled by the PCM, base ignition timing is
not adjustable.
The distributor is held to the engine in the conventional method using a holddown clamp and bolt.
Although the distributor can be rotated, it will
have no effect on ignition timing.
All distributors contain an internal oil seal that
prevents oil from entering the distributor housing.
The seal is not serviceable.

REMOVAL
CAUTION: Base ignition timing is not adjustable on
any engine. Distributors do not have built in centrifugal or vacuum assisted advance. Base ignition
timing and timing advance are controlled by the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM). Because a conventional timing light can not be used to adjust distributor position after installation, note position of
distributor before removal.
(1) Remove air cleaner assembly.
(2) Disconnect negative cable from battery.
(3) Remove distributor cap from distributor (two
screws).
(4) Mark the position of distributor housing in
relationship to engine or dash panel. This is done to
aid in installation.
(5) Before distributor is removed, the number one
cylinder must be brought to the Top Dead Center
(TDC) firing position.
(6) Attach a socket to the Crankshaft Vibration
Damper mounting bolt.
(7) Slowly rotate engine clockwise, as viewed from
front, until indicating mark on crankshaft vibration
damper is aligned to 0 degree (TDC) mark on timing
chain cover (Fig. 18).
(8) The distributor rotor should now be aligned to
the CYL. NO. 1 alignment mark (stamped) into the
camshaft position sensor (Fig. 19). If not, rotate the
crankshaft through another complete 360 degree
turn. Note the position of the number one cylinder
spark plug cable (on the cap) in relation to rotor.
Rotor should now be aligned to this position.

INSTALLATION
If engine has been cranked while distributor is
removed, establish the relationship between distributor shaft and number one piston position as follows:
Rotate crankshaft in a clockwise direction, as
viewed from front, until number one cylinder piston
is at top of compression stroke (compression should
be felt on finger with number one spark plug
removed). Then continue to slowly rotate engine
clockwise until indicating mark (Fig. 18) is aligned to
0 degree (TDC) mark on timing chain cover.
(1) Clean top of cylinder block for a good seal
between distributor base and block.
(2) Lightly oil the rubber o-ring seal on the distributor housing.
(3) Install rotor to distributor shaft.
(4) Position distributor into engine to its original
position. Engage tongue of distributor shaft with slot
in distributor oil pump drive gear. Position rotor to
the number one spark plug cable position.
(5) Install distributor holddown clamp and clamp
bolt. Do not tighten bolt at this time.
(6) Rotate the distributor housing until rotor is
aligned to CYL. NO. 1 alignment mark on the camshaft position sensor (Fig. 19).

WARNING: WHEN PERFORMING THE FOLLOWING
TEST, THE ENGINE WILL BE RUNNING. BE CAREFUL NOT TO STAND IN LINE WITH THE FAN
BLADES OR FAN BELT. DO NOT WEAR LOOSE
CLOTHING.
(1) Connect DRB scan tool to data link connector.
The data link connector is located in passenger compartment, below and to left of steering column.
(2) Gain access to SET SYNC screen on DRB.
(3) Follow directions on DRB screen and start
engine. Bring to operating temperature (engine must
be in “closed loop” mode).
(4) With engine running at idle speed, the words
IN RANGE should appear on screen along with 0°.
This indicates correct distributor position.
(5) If a plus (+) or a minus (-) is displayed next to
degree number, and/or the degree displayed is not
zero, loosen but do not remove distributor holddown
clamp bolt. Rotate distributor until IN RANGE
appears on screen. Continue to rotate distributor
until achieving as close to 0° as possible. After
adjustment, tighten clamp bolt to 22.5 N·m (200 in.
lbs.) torque.
The degree scale on SET SYNC screen of DRB is
referring to fuel synchronization only. It is not
referring to ignition timing. Because of this, do
not attempt to adjust ignition timing using this
method. Rotating distributor will have no effect on
ignition timing. All ignition timing values are controlled by powertrain control module (PCM).
After testing, install air cleaner assembly.

SPARK PLUG
DESCRIPTION
The 5.9L V-8 engines use resistor type spark plugs.
The 8.0L V-10 engine uses inductive type spark
plugs.
Spark plug resistance values range from 6,000 to
20,000 ohms (when checked with at least a 1000 volt
spark plug tester). Do not use an ohmmeter to
check the resistance values of the spark plugs.
Inaccurate readings will result.

spark plug must be used.
Always use the recommended torque when tightening spark plugs. Incorrect torque can distort the
spark plug and change plug gap. It can also pull the
plug threads and do possible damage to both the
spark plug and the cylinder head.

Spark plugs that have low mileage may be cleaned

CAUTION: Never use a motorized wire wheel brush
to clean the spark plugs. Metallic deposits will
remain on the spark plug insulator and will cause
plug misfire.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - SPARK PLUG
CONDITIONS
NORMAL OPERATING
The few deposits present on the spark plug will
probably be light tan or slightly gray in color. This is
evident with most grades of commercial gasoline
(Fig. 28). There will not be evidence of electrode
burning. Gap growth will not average more than
approximately 0.025 mm (.001 in) per 3200 km (2000
miles) of operation. Spark plugs that have normal

Some fuel refiners in several areas of the United
States have introduced a manganese additive (MMT)
for unleaded fuel. During combustion, fuel with MMT
causes the entire tip of the spark plug to be coated
with a rust colored deposit. This rust color can be
misdiagnosed as being caused by coolant in the combustion chamber. Spark plug performance may be
affected by MMT deposits.

COLD FOULING/CARBON FOULING
Cold fouling is sometimes referred to as carbon
fouling. The deposits that cause cold fouling are basically carbon (Fig. 28). A dry, black deposit on one or
two plugs in a set may be caused by sticking valves
or defective spark plug cables. Cold (carbon) fouling
of the entire set of spark plugs may be caused by a
clogged air cleaner element or repeated short operating times (short trips).

WET FOULING OR GAS FOULING
A spark plug coated with excessive wet fuel or oil
is wet fouled. In older engines, worn piston rings,
leaking valve guide seals or excessive cylinder wear
can cause wet fouling. In new or recently overhauled
engines, wet fouling may occur before break-in (normal oil control) is achieved. This condition can usually be resolved by cleaning and reinstalling the
fouled plugs.

OIL OR ASH ENCRUSTED
If one or more spark plugs are oil or oil ash
encrusted (Fig. 29), evaluate engine condition for the

Fig. 29 Oil or Ash Encrusted

ELECTRODE GAP BRIDGING
Electrode gap bridging may be traced to loose
deposits in the combustion chamber. These deposits
accumulate on the spark plugs during continuous
stop-and-go driving. When the engine is suddenly
subjected to a high torque load, deposits partially liquefy and bridge the gap between electrodes (Fig. 30).
This short circuits the electrodes. Spark plugs with
electrode gap bridging can be cleaned using standard
procedures.

Fig. 31 Scavenger Deposits

SCAVENGER DEPOSITS
Fuel scavenger deposits may be either white or yellow (Fig. 31). They may appear to be harmful, but
this is a normal condition caused by chemical additives in certain fuels. These additives are designed to
change the chemical nature of deposits and decrease
spark plug misfire tendencies. Notice that accumulation on the ground electrode and shell area may be
heavy, but the deposits are easily removed. Spark
plugs with scavenger deposits can be considered normal in condition and can be cleaned using standard
procedures.

CHIPPED ELECTRODE INSULATOR
A chipped electrode insulator usually results from
bending the center electrode while adjusting the
spark plug electrode gap. Under certain conditions,
severe detonation can also separate the insulator
from the center electrode (Fig. 32). Spark plugs with
this condition must be replaced.

1 - GROUND ELECTRODE COVERED WITH WHITE OR
YELLOW DEPOSITS
2 - CENTER ELECTRODE

PREIGNITION DAMAGE
Preignition damage is usually caused by excessive
combustion chamber temperature. The center electrode dissolves first and the ground electrode dissolves somewhat latter (Fig. 33). Insulators appear
relatively deposit free. Determine if the spark plug
has the correct heat range rating for the engine.
Determine if ignition timing is over advanced or if
other operating conditions are causing engine overheating. (The heat range rating refers to the operating temperature of a particular type spark plug.
Spark plugs are designed to operate within specific
temperature ranges. This depends upon the thickness and length of the center electrodes porcelain
insulator.)

SPARK PLUG OVERHEATING
Overheating is indicated by a white or gray center
electrode insulator that also appears blistered (Fig.
34). The increase in electrode gap will be considerably in excess of 0.001 inch per 2000 miles of operation. This suggests that a plug with a cooler heat
range rating should be used. Over advanced ignition
timing, detonation and cooling system malfunctions
can also cause spark plug overheating.

SPARK PLUG (Continued)
(2) Prior to removing the spark plug, spray compressed air around the spark plug hole and the area
around the spark plug. This will help prevent foreign
material from entering the combustion chamber.
(3) Remove the spark plug using a quality socket
with a rubber or foam insert.
(4) Inspect the spark plug condition. Refer to
Spark Plug Condition in the Diagnostics and Testing
section of this group.

CLEANING
The plugs may be cleaned using commercially
available spark plug cleaning equipment. After cleaning, file center electrode flat with a small point file or
jewelers file before adjusting gap.
CAUTION: Never use a motorized wire wheel brush
to clean spark plugs. Metallic deposits will remain
on spark plug insulator and will cause plug misfire.

INSTALLATION
Special care should be taken when installing spark
plugs into the cylinder head spark plug wells. Be
sure the plugs do not drop into the plug wells as electrodes can be damaged.
Always tighten spark plugs to the specified torque.
Over tightening can cause distortion resulting in a
change in the spark plug gap or a cracked porcelain
insulator.
When replacing the spark plug and ignition coil
cables, route the cables correctly and secure them in
the appropriate retainers. Failure to route the cables
properly can cause the radio to reproduce ignition
noise. It could cause cross ignition of the spark plugs
or short circuit the cables to ground.
(1) Start the spark plug into the cylinder head by
hand to avoid cross threading.
(2) Tighten spark plugs to 35-41 N·m (26-30 ft.
lbs.) torque.
(3) Install spark plug cables over spark plugs.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - SPARK PLUG
CABLES
Cable routing is important on certain engines. To
prevent possible ignition crossfire, be sure the cables
are clipped into the plastic routing looms. Try to prevent any one cable from contacting another. Before
removing cables, note their original location and
routing. Never allow one cable to be twisted around
another.
Check the spark plug cable connections for good
contact at the coil(s), distributor cap towers, and
spark plugs. Terminals should be fully seated. The
insulators should be in good condition and should fit
tightly on the coil, distributor and spark plugs. Spark
plug cables with insulators that are cracked or torn
must be replaced.
Clean high voltage ignition cables with a cloth
moistened with a non-flammable solvent. Wipe the
cables dry. Check for brittle or cracked insulation.
On 5.9L engines, spark plug cable heat shields are
pressed into the cylinder head to surround each
spark plug cable boot and spark plug (Fig. 36). These
shields protect the spark plug boots from damage
(due to intense engine heat generated by the exhaust
manifolds) and should not be removed. After the
spark plug cable has been installed, the lip of the
cable boot should have a small air gap to the top of
the heat shield (Fig. 36).

SPARK PLUG CABLE
DESCRIPTION
Spark plug cables are sometimes referred to as secondary ignition wires.

Fig. 36 Heat Shields—5.9L Engines

OPERATION
The spark plug cables transfer electrical current
from the ignition coil(s) and/or distributor, to individual spark plugs at each cylinder. The resistive spark
plug cables are of nonmetallic construction. The
cables provide suppression of radio frequency emissions from the ignition system.

catalytic converter. Total test time must not exceed
ten minutes.
With the engine running, remove spark plug cable
from spark plug (one at a time) and hold next to a
good engine ground. If the cable and spark plug are
in good condition, the engine rpm should drop and
the engine will run poorly. If engine rpm does not
drop, the cable and/or spark plug may not be operating properly and should be replaced. Also check
engine cylinder compression.
With the engine not running, connect one end of a
test probe to a good ground. Start the engine and run
the other end of the test probe along the entire
length of all spark plug cables. If cables are cracked
or punctured, there will be a noticeable spark jump
from the damaged area to the test probe. The cable
running from the ignition coil to the distributor cap
can be checked in the same manner. Cracked, damaged or faulty cables should be replaced with resistance type cable. This can be identified by the words
ELECTRONIC SUPPRESSION printed on the cable
jacket.
Use an ohmmeter to test for open circuits, excessive resistance or loose terminals. If equipped,
remove the distributor cap from the distributor. Do
not remove cables from cap. Remove cable from
spark plug. Connect ohmmeter to spark plug terminal end of cable and to corresponding electrode in
distributor cap. Resistance should be 250 to 1000
Ohms per inch of cable. If not, remove cable from distributor cap tower and connect ohmmeter to the terminal ends of cable. If resistance is not within
specifications as found in the SPARK PLUG CABLE
RESISTANCE chart, replace the cable. Test all spark
plug cables in this manner.

Resistance chart, replace the cable. Inspect the ignition coil tower for cracks, burns or corrosion.

REMOVAL
CAUTION: When disconnecting a high voltage cable
from a spark plug or from the distributor cap, twist
the rubber boot slightly (1/2 turn) to break it loose
(Fig. 37). Grasp the boot (not the cable) and pull it
off with a steady, even force.

The instrument cluster for this model is an ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) module
that is located in the instrument panel above the
steering column opening, directly in front of the
driver (Fig. 1). The EMIC gauges and indicators are
protected by an integral clear plastic cluster lens,
and are visible through a dedicated opening in the
cluster bezel on the instrument panel. Just behind
the cluster lens is the cluster hood. The cluster hood
serves as a visor and shields the face of the cluster
from ambient light and reflections to reduce glare.
Behind the cluster hood is the cluster overlay and
gauges. The overlay is a multi-layered unit. The
dark, visible surface of the outer layer of the overlay
is marked with all of the gauge identification and
graduations, but this layer is also translucent. The
darkness of this outer layer prevents the cluster from
appearing cluttered or busy by concealing the cluster
indicators that are not illuminated, while the translucence of this layer allows those indicators and icons
that are illuminated to be readily visible. The underlying layer of the overlay is opaque and allows light
from the various indicators and illumination lamps
behind it to be visible through the outer layer of the
overlay only through predetermined cutouts. On the
lower edge of the cluster lens just left of center, the
odometer/trip odometer switch knob protrudes

BR/BE

through a dedicated hole in the lens. The remainder
of the EMIC, including the mounts and the electrical
connections, are concealed behind the cluster bezel.
The molded plastic EMIC housing has four integral
mounting tabs, two each on the upper and lower
edges of the housing. The EMIC is secured to the
molded plastic instrument panel cluster carrier with
four screws. All electrical connections to the EMIC
are made at the back of the cluster housing through
two take outs of the instrument panel wire harness,
each equipped with a self-docking connector.
A single EMIC module is offered on this model.
This module utilizes integrated circuitry and information carried on the Chrysler Collision Detection
(CCD) data bus network for control of all gauges and
many of the indicators. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES/COMMUNICATION - DESCRIPTION). The EMIC also uses
several hard wired inputs in order to perform its
many functions. In addition to instrumentation and
indicators, the EMIC has hardware and/or software
to support the following functions:
• Chime Warning Requests - The EMIC sends
chime tone requests over a hard wired circuit to the
Central Timer Module (CTM) when it monitors certain conditions or inputs. The CTM replaces the
chime or buzzer module and performs the functions
necessary to provide audible alerts that are synchronized with the visual alerts provided by the EMIC.
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/CHIME/BUZZER DESCRIPTION).
• Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) Dimming Service - The EMIC performs the functions
necessary to eliminate the need for a separate VFD
dimming module by providing control and synchronization of the illumination intensity of all vacuum fluorescent displays in the vehicle, as well as a parade
mode.
The EMIC module incorporates a blue-green digital
VFD for displaying odometer and trip odometer information, as well as the amber cruise-on indicator display function. Some variations of the EMIC are
necessary to support optional equipment and regulatory requirements. The EMIC includes the following
analog gauges:
• Coolant Temperature Gauge
• Fuel Gauge
• Oil Pressure Gauge
• Speedometer
• Tachometer
• Voltage Gauge
The EMIC also includes provisions for the following indicators:
• Airbag Indicator
• Antilock Brake System (ABS) Indicator
• Brake Indicator

• Check Gauges Indicator
• Cruise Indicator (Odometer VFD)
• Four-Wheel Drive Indicator
• High Beam Indicator
• Low Fuel Indicator
• Washer Fluid Indicator
• Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
• Overdrive-Off Indicator
• Seatbelt Indicator
• Service Reminder Indicator (SRI)
• Transmission Overtemp Indicator
• Turn Signal (Right and Left) Indicators
• Upshift Indicator
• Wait-To-Start Indicator (Diesel Only)
• Water-In-Fuel Indicator (Diesel Only)
Some of these indicators are either programmable
or automatically configured when the EMIC is connected to the vehicle electrical system. This feature
allows those indicators to be activated or deactivated
for compatibility with certain optional equipment.
The EMIC also includes a provision for mounting the
automatic transmission gear selector indicator in the
lower right corner of the cluster. The spring-loaded,
cable driven, mechanical gear selector indicator gives
an indication of the transmission gear that has been
selected with the automatic transmission gear selector lever. The gear selector indicator pointer is easily
visible through an opening provided in the front of
the cluster overlay, and is also lighted by the cluster
illumination lamps for visibility at night. Models
equipped with a manual transmission have a blockout plate installed in place of the gear selector indicator.
Cluster illumination is accomplished by adjustable
incandescent back lighting, which illuminates the
gauges for visibility when the exterior lighting is
turned on. The EMIC high beam indicator, turn signal indicators, and wait-to-start indicator are also
illuminated by dedicated incandescent bulbs. The
remaining indicators in the EMIC are each illuminated by a dedicated Light Emitting Diode (LED)
that is soldered onto the electronic circuit board.
Each of the incandescent bulbs is secured by an integral bulb holder to the electronic circuit board from
the back of the cluster housing.
Hard wired circuitry connects the EMIC to the
electrical system of the vehicle. These hard wired circuits are integral to several wire harnesses, which
are routed throughout the vehicle and retained by
many different methods. These circuits may be connected to each other, to the vehicle electrical system
and to the EMIC through the use of a combination of
soldered splices, splice block connectors, and many
different types of wire harness terminal connectors
and insulators. Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wiring information includes wiring dia-

grams, proper wire and connector repair procedures,
further details on wire harness routing and retention, as well as pin-out and location views for the
various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.
The EMIC modules for this model are serviced only
as complete units. The EMIC module cannot be
adjusted or repaired. If a gauge, an LED indicator,
the VFD, the electronic circuit board, the circuit
board hardware, the cluster overlay, or the EMIC
housing are damaged or faulty, the entire EMIC module must be replaced. The cluster lens and hood unit,
the rear cluster housing cover, the automatic transmission gear selector indicator, and the incandescent
lamp bulbs with holders are available for individual
service replacement.

OPERATION
The ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC)
is designed to allow the vehicle operator to monitor
the conditions of many of the vehicle components and
operating systems. The gauges and indicators in the
EMIC provide valuable information about the various
standard and optional powertrains, fuel and emissions systems, cooling systems, lighting systems,
safety systems and many other convenience items.
The EMIC is installed in the instrument panel so
that all of these monitors can be easily viewed by the
vehicle operator when driving, while still allowing
relative ease of access for service. The microprocessor-based EMIC hardware and software uses various
inputs to control the gauges and indicators visible on
the face of the cluster. Some of these inputs are hard
wired, but most are in the form of electronic messages that are transmitted by other electronic modules over the Chrysler Collision Detection (CCD) data
bus network. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES/COMMUNICATION
- OPERATION).
The EMIC microprocessor smooths the input data
using algorithms to provide gauge readings that are
accurate, stable and responsive to operating conditions. These algorithms are designed to provide
gauge readings during normal operation that are consistent with customer expectations. However, when
abnormal conditions exist, such as low/high battery
voltage, low oil pressure, or high coolant temperature, the algorithm drives the gauge pointer to an
extreme position and the microprocessor turns on the
Check Gauges indicator to provide a distinct visual
indication of a problem to the vehicle operator. The
instrument cluster circuitry may also generate a
hard wired chime tone request to the Central Timer
Module (CTM) when it monitors certain conditions or
inputs, in order to provide the vehicle operator with
an audible alert.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER (Continued)
The EMIC circuitry operates on battery current
received through a fused B(+) fuse in the Junction
Block (JB) on a non-switched fused B(+) circuit, and
on battery current received through a fused ignition
switch output (st-run) fuse in the JB on a fused ignition switch output (st-run) circuit. This arrangement
allows the EMIC to provide some features regardless
of the ignition switch position, while other features
will operate only with the ignition switch in the Start
or On positions. The EMIC circuitry is grounded
through two separate ground circuits located in one
of the two instrument cluster connectors and take
outs of the instrument panel wire harness. One
ground circuit receives ground through a take out
with an eyelet terminal connector of the instrument
panel wire harness that is secured by a nut to a
ground stud located on the left instrument panel end
bracket, while the other ground circuit receives
ground through a take out with an eyelet terminal
connector of the instrument panel wire harness that
is secured by a nut to a ground stud located on the
back of the instrument panel armature above the
inboard side of the instrument panel steering column
opening.
The EMIC also has a self-diagnostic actuator test
capability, which will test each of the CCD bus message-controlled functions of the cluster by lighting
the appropriate indicators and positioning the gauge
needles at several predetermined locations on the
gauge faces in a prescribed sequence. (Refer to 8 ELECTRICAL/INSTRUMENT CLUSTER - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). See the owner’s manual in the
vehicle glove box for more information on the features, use and operation of the EMIC.
GAUGES
All gauges receive battery current through the
EMIC circuitry when the ignition switch is in the On
or Start positions. With the ignition switch in the Off
position battery current is not supplied to any
gauges, and the EMIC circuitry is programmed to
move all of the gauge needles back to the low end of
their respective scales. Therefore, the gauges do not
accurately indicate any vehicle condition unless the
ignition switch is in the On or Start positions. All of
the EMIC gauges, except the odometer, are air core
magnetic units. Two fixed electromagnetic coils are
located within each gauge. These coils are wrapped
at right angles to each other around a movable permanent magnet. The movable magnet is suspended
within the coils on one end of a pivot shaft, while the
gauge needle is attached to the other end of the
shaft. One of the coils has a fixed current flowing
through it to maintain a constant magnetic field
strength. Current flow through the second coil
changes, which causes changes in its magnetic field

strength. The current flowing through the second coil
is changed by the EMIC circuitry in response to messages received over the CCD data bus. The gauge
needle moves as the movable permanent magnet
aligns itself to the changing magnetic fields created
around it by the electromagnets.
The gauges are diagnosed using the EMIC self-diagnostic actuator test. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER - DIAGNOSIS AND
TESTING). Proper testing of the CCD data bus and
the data bus message inputs to the EMIC that control each gauge require the use of a DRBIIIt scan
tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
Specific operation details for each gauge may be
found elsewhere in this service manual.
VACUUM-FLUORESCENT DISPLAY
The Vacuum-Fluorescent Display (VFD) module is
soldered to the EMIC circuit board. The display is
active with the ignition switch in the On or Start
positions, and inactive when the ignition switch is in
any other position. The VFD has several display
capabilities including odometer, trip odometer, and
an amber “CRUISE” indication whenever the
optional speed control system is turned On. The
cruise indicator function of the VFD is automatically
enabled or disabled by the EMIC circuitry based
upon whether the vehicle is equipped with the speed
control option. An odometer/trip odometer switch on
the EMIC circuit board is used to control several of
the display modes. This switch is actuated manually
by depressing the odometer/trip odometer switch
knob that extends through the lower edge of the cluster lens, just right of center. Actuating this switch
momentarily with the ignition switch in the On position will toggle the VFD between the odometer and
trip odometer modes. The word “TRIP” will also
appear in blue-green text when the VFD trip odometer mode is active. Depressing the switch button for
about two seconds while the VFD is in the trip odometer mode will reset the trip odometer value to zero.
Holding this switch depressed while turning the ignition switch from the Off position to the On position
will activate the EMIC self-diagnostic actuator test.
The EMIC will automatically flash the odometer or
trip odometer information on and off if there is a loss
of CCD data bus communication. The VFD will also
display various information used in several diagnostic procedures. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic
information for additional details on this VFD function.
The VFD is diagnosed using the EMIC self-diagnostic actuator test. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/INSTRUMENT CLUSTER - DIAGNOSIS AND
TESTING). Proper testing of the CCD data bus and
the data bus message inputs to the EMIC that con-

BR/BE

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER (Continued)
trol some of the VFD functions requires the use of a
DRBIIIt scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information. Specific operation details for the
odometer and trip odometer functions of the VFD
may be found elsewhere in this service manual.
INDICATORS
Indicators are located in various positions within
the EMIC and are all connected to the EMIC circuit
board. The four-wheel drive indicator, high beam
indicator, washer fluid indicator, turn signal indicators, and wait-to-start indicator are hard wired. The
brake indicator is controlled by CCD data bus messages from the Controller Anti-lock Brake (CAB) and
the hard wired park brake switch input to the EMIC.
The seatbelt indicator is controlled by the EMIC programming, CCD data bus messages from the Airbag
Control Module (ACM), and the hard wired seat belt
switch input to the EMIC. The Malfunction Indicator
Lamp (MIL) is normally controlled by CCD data bus
messages from the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM); however, if the EMIC loses CCD data bus
communications, the EMIC circuitry will automatically turn the MIL on, and flash the odometer VFD
on and off repeatedly until CCD data bus communication is restored. The EMIC uses CCD data bus
messages from the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM), the diesel engine only Engine Control Module
(ECM), the ACM, and the CAB to control all of the
remaining indicators. Different indicators are controlled by different strategies; some receive fused
ignition switch output from the EMIC circuitry cluster and have a switched ground, while others are
grounded through the EMIC circuitry and have a
switched battery feed.
In addition, certain indicators in this instrument
cluster are programmable or configurable. This feature allows the programmable indicators to be activated or deactivated with a DRBIIIt scan tool, while
the configurable indicators will be automatically
enabled or disabled by the EMIC circuitry for compatibility with certain optional equipment. The only
programmable indicator for this model is the upshift
indicator. The cruise indicator, four-wheel drive indicator, overdrive-off indicator, service reminder indicator, and the transmission overtemp indicator are
automatically configured, either electronically or
mechanically.
The hard wired indicators are diagnosed using conventional diagnostic methods. The EMIC and CCD
bus message controlled indicator lamps are diagnosed
using the EMIC self-diagnostic actuator test. (Refer
to 8 - ELECTRICAL/INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). Proper testing of the
CCD data bus and the data bus message inputs to
the EMIC that control each indicator lamp require

the use of a DRBIIIt scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information. Specific operation
details for each indicator may be found elsewhere in
this service manual.
CLUSTER ILLUMINATION
The EMIC has several illumination lamps that are
illuminated when the exterior lighting is turned on
with the headlamp switch. The illumination brightness of these lamps is adjusted by the panel lamps
dimmer rheostat when the headlamp switch thumbwheel is rotated (down to dim, up to brighten). The
illumination lamps receive battery current through
the panel lamps dimmer rheostat and a fuse in the
JB on a fused panel lamps dimmer switch signal circuit. The illumination lamps are grounded at all
times.
In addition, an analog/digital (A/D) converter in
the EMIC converts the analog panel lamps dimmer
rheostat input from the headlamp switch to a digital
dimming level signal for controlling the lighting level
of the VFD. The EMIC also broadcasts this digital
dimming information as a message over the CCD
data bus for use by the Compass Mini-Trip Computer
(CMTC) in synchronizing the lighting level of its
VFD with that of the EMIC. The headlamp switch
thumbwheel also has a Parade position to provide a
parade mode. The EMIC monitors the request for
this mode through a hard wired day brightness sense
circuit input from the headlamp switch. In this mode,
the EMIC will override the selected panel dimmer
switch signal and send a message over the CCD data
bus to illuminate all vacuum fluorescent displays at
full brightness for easier visibility when driving in
daylight with the exterior lighting turned on. The
parade mode has no effect on the incandescent bulb
illumination intensity.
The hard wired cluster illumination lamps are
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic methods.
Proper testing of the VFD dimming level and the
CCD data bus dimming level message functions
requires the use of a DRBIIIt scan tool. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.
CHIME WARNING REQUESTS
The EMIC is programmed to request chime service
from the Central Timer Module (CTM) when certain
indicator lamps are illuminated. When the programmed conditions are met, the EMIC generates a
chime request signal and sends it over a hard wired
tone request circuit to the CTM. Upon receiving the
proper chime request, the CTM activates an integral
chime tone generator to provide the audible chime
tone to the vehicle operator. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/CHIME/BUZZER - OPERATION). Proper testing of the CTM and the EMIC chime requests

The instrument cluster actuator test will put the
instrument cluster into its self-diagnostic mode. In
this mode the instrument cluster can perform a selfdiagnostic test that will confirm that the instrument
cluster circuitry, the gauges, and the CCD data bus
message-controlled indicators are capable of operating as designed. During the actuator test the instrument cluster circuitry position each of the gauge

needles at various calibration points, illuminate each
of the segments in the Vacuum-Fluorescent Display
(VFD), and turn all of the CCD data bus messagecontrolled indicators on and off.
Successful completion of the actuator test will confirm that the instrument cluster is operational. However, there may still be a problem with the CCD data
bus, the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), the
Engine Control Module (ECM), the Airbag Control
Module (ACM), the Controller Anti-lock Brake (CAB),
or the inputs to one of these electronic control modules. Use a DRBIIIt scan tool to diagnose these components. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic
information.
(1) Begin the test with the ignition switch in the
Off position.
(2) Depress the odometer/trip odometer switch button.
(3) While still holding the odometer/trip odometer
switch button depressed, turn the ignition switch to
the On position, but do not start the engine.
(4) Keep the odometer/trip odometer switch button
depressed for about ten seconds, until CHEC
appears in the odometer display, then release the
odometer/trip odometer switch button.
(5) A series of three-digit numeric failure messages
may appear in the odometer display, depending upon
the failure mode. If a failure message appears, refer
to the Instrument Cluster Failure Message chart for
the description and proper correction. If no failure
message appears, the actuator test will proceed as
described in Step 6.

(6) The instrument cluster will begin the Vacuum
Fluorescent Display (VFD) walking segment test.
This test will require the operator to visually inspect
each VFD segment as it is displayed to determine a
pass or fail condition. First, all of the segments will
be illuminated at once; then, each individual segment
of the VFD will be illuminated in sequence. If any
segment in the display fails to illuminate, repeat the
test to confirm the failure. If the failure is confirmed,
replace the faulty instrument cluster. Following completion of the VFD walking segment test, the actuator test will proceed as described in Step 7.
(7) The instrument cluster will perform a bulb
check of each indicator that the instrument cluster
circuitry controls. If the wait-to-start indicator does
not illuminate during this test, the instrument cluster should be removed. However, check that the
incandescent bulb is not faulty and that the bulb
holder is properly installed on the instrument cluster
electronic circuit board before considering instrument
cluster replacement. If the bulb and bulb holder
check OK, replace the faulty instrument cluster.
Each of the remaining instrument cluster circuitry
controlled indicators except the cruise indicator are
illuminated by a Light Emitting Diode (LED). If an
LED or the cruise indicator in the VFD, fails to illuminate during this test, the instrument cluster must
be replaced. Following the bulb check test, the actuator test will proceed as described in Step 8.
(8) The instrument cluster will perform a gauge
actuator test. In this test the instrument cluster circuitry positions each of the gauge needles at three
different calibration points, then returns the gauge
needles to their relaxed positions. If an individual
gauge does not respond properly, or does not respond

at all during the gauge actuator test, the instrument
cluster should be removed. However, check that the
gauge terminal pins are properly inserted through
the spring-clip terminal pin receptacles on the instrument cluster electronic circuit board before considering instrument cluster replacement. If the gauge
terminal connections are OK, replace the faulty
instrument cluster.
(9) The actuator test is now completed. The instrument cluster will automatically exit the self-diagnostic mode and return to normal operation at the
completion of the test, if the ignition switch is turned
to the Off position during the test, or if a vehicle
speed message indicating that the vehicle is moving
is received from the PCM on the CCD data bus during the test.
(10) Go back to Step 1 to repeat the test, if
required.
CHIME WARNING REQUEST DIAGNOSIS
Before performing this test, complete the testing of
the seat belt switch and the Central Timer Module
(CTM). (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/RESTRAINTS/
SEAT BELT SWITCH - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING)
and (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL
MODULES/BODY

The diagnosis found here consists of confirming the
viability of the hard wired tone request circuit
between the instrument cluster and the Central
Timer Module (CTM). For diagnosis of the CCD data
bus and the data bus message inputs that cause the
instrument cluster to issue a request for chime service, a DRBIIIt scan tool is required. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.

CLUSTER ILLUMINATION DIAGNOSIS
The diagnosis found here addresses an inoperative
instrument cluster illumination lamp condition. If
the problem being diagnosed is a single inoperative
illumination lamp, be certain that the bulb and bulb
holder unit are properly installed in the instrument
cluster electronic circuit board. If no installation
problems are found replace the faulty bulb and bulb
holder unit. If all of the cluster illumination lamps
are inoperative and the problem being diagnosed
includes inoperative exterior lighting controlled by
the headlamp switch, that system needs to be
repaired first. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/LAMPS/
LIGHTING - EXTERIOR/HEADLAMP - DIAGNOSIS
AND TESTING). If no exterior lighting system problems are found, the following procedure will help
locate a short or open in the cluster illumination
lamp circuit. If the problem being diagnosed involves

a lack of dimming control for the odometer/trip odometer Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD), but all of
the other cluster illumination lamps can be dimmed,
test and repair the day brightness circuit between
the instrument cluster and the headlamp switch as
required. Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector repair procedures,
details of wire harness routing and retention, connector pin-out information and location views for the

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

OPERATION
The ABS indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the ABS system is faulty or inoperative. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on
the instrument cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received by
the cluster from the Controller Antilock Brake (CAB)
over the Chrysler Collision Detection (CCD) data bus.
The ABS indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED)
receives battery current on the instrument cluster
electronic circuit board through the fused ignition
switch output (st-run) circuit whenever the ignition
switch is in the On or Start positions; therefore, the

LED will always be off when the ignition switch is in
any position except On or Start. The LED only illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the
instrument cluster transistor. The instrument cluster
will turn on the ABS indicator for the following reasons:
• Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch is
turned to the On position the ABS indicator is illuminated by the cluster for about two seconds as a
bulb test.
• ABS Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives a lamp-on message from the CAB, the
ABS indicator will be illuminated. The indicator
remains illuminated until the cluster receives a
lamp-off message from the CAB, or until the ignition
switch is turned to the Off position, whichever occurs
first.
• Communication Error - If the cluster receives
no lamp-on or lamp-off messages from the CAB for
six consecutive seconds, the ABS indicator is illuminated. The indicator remains illuminated until the
cluster receives a valid message from the CAB, or
until the ignition switch is turned to the Off position,
whichever occurs first.
• Actuator Test - Each time the instrument cluster is put through the actuator test, the ABS indicator will be turned on during the bulb check portion of
the test to confirm the functionality of the LED and
the cluster control circuitry.
• ABS Diagnostic Test - The ABS indicator is
blinked on and off by lamp-on and lamp-off messages
from the CAB during the performance of the ABS
diagnostic tests.
The CAB continually monitors the ABS circuits
and sensors to decide whether the system is in good
operating condition. The CAB then sends the proper
lamp-on or lamp-off messages to the instrument cluster. If the CAB sends a lamp-on message after the
bulb test, it indicates that the CAB has detected a
system malfunction and/or that the ABS system has
become inoperative. The CAB will store a Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) for any malfunction it detects.
Each time the ABS indicator fails to light due to an
open or short in the cluster ABS indicator circuit, the
cluster sends a message notifying the CAB of the
condition, and the CAB will store a DTC. For proper
diagnosis of the antilock brake system, the CAB, the
CCD data bus, or the message inputs to the instrument cluster that control the ABS indicator, a
DRBIIIt scan tool is required. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

AIRBAG INDICATOR
DESCRIPTION
An airbag indicator is standard equipment on all
instrument clusters. However, on vehicles not
equipped with airbags, this indicator is electronically
disabled. The airbag indicator is located near the
lower edge of the instrument cluster overlay, to the
right of center. The airbag indicator consists of a
stenciled cutout of the word “AIRBAG” in the opaque
layer of the instrument cluster overlay. The dark
outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from
being clearly visible when it is not illuminated. A red
lens behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the
overlay causes the “AIRBAG” text to appear in red
through the translucent outer layer of the overlay
when it is illuminated from behind by a Light Emitting Diode (LED) soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board. The airbag indicator is
serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

OPERATION
The airbag indicator gives an indication to the
vehicle operator when the airbag system is faulty or
inoperative. The airbag indicator is controlled by a
transistor on the instrument cluster circuit board
based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received by the cluster from the Airbag Control
Module (ACM) over the Chrysler Collision Detection
(CCD) data bus. The airbag indicator Light Emitting
Diode (LED) receives battery current on the instrument cluster electronic circuit board through the
fused ignition switch output (st-run) circuit whenever
the ignition switch is in the On or Start positions;
therefore, the indicator will always be off when the
ignition switch is in any position except On or Start.
The LED only illuminates when it is provided a path
to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The
instrument cluster will turn on the airbag indicator
for the following reasons:
• Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch is
turned to the On position the airbag indicator is illuminated for about seven seconds. The first two seconds is the cluster bulb test function, and the
remainder is the ACM bulb test function.
• ACM Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives a lamp-on message from the ACM, the
airbag indicator will be illuminated. The indicator
remains illuminated for about twelve seconds or until
the cluster receives a lamp-off message from the
ACM, whichever is longer.
• Communication Error - If the cluster receives
no airbag messages for three consecutive seconds, the
airbag indicator is illuminated. The indicator
remains illuminated for about twelve seconds or until

8J - 15

the cluster receives a single lamp-off message from
the ACM, whichever is longer.
• Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put
through the actuator test, the airbag indicator will be
turned on during the bulb check portion of the test to
confirm the functionality of the LED and the cluster
control circuitry.
The ACM continually monitors the airbag system
circuits and sensors to decide whether the system is
in good operating condition. The ACM then sends the
proper lamp-on or lamp-off messages to the instrument cluster. If the ACM sends a lamp-on message
after the bulb test, it indicates that the ACM has
detected a system malfunction and/or that the airbags may not deploy when required, or may deploy
when not required. The ACM will store a Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) for any malfunction it detects.
Each time the airbag indicator fails to illuminate due
to an open or short in the cluster airbag indicator circuit, the cluster sends a message notifying the ACM
of the condition, the ACM will store a DTC, and the
cluster begins blinking the seat belt indicator. (Refer
to 8 - ELECTRICAL/INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/
SEATBELT INDICATOR - OPERATION). For proper
diagnosis of the airbag system, the ACM, the CCD
data bus, or the message inputs to the instrument
cluster that control the airbag indicator, a DRBIIIt
scan tool is required. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

BRAKE/PARK BRAKE
INDICATOR
DESCRIPTION
A brake indicator is standard equipment on all
instrument clusters. The brake indicator is located
near the lower edge of the instrument cluster overlay,
to the right of center. The brake indicator consists of
a stenciled cutout of the word “BRAKE” in the
opaque layer of the instrument cluster overlay. The
dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator
from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated.
A red lens behind the cutout in the opaque layer of
the overlay causes the “BRAKE” text to appear in
red through the translucent outer layer of the overlay when it is illuminated from behind by a Light
Emitting Diode (LED) soldered onto the instrument
cluster electronic circuit board. The brake indicator is
serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

OPERATION
The brake indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the parking brake is applied, or
when there are certain brake hydraulic system malfunctions. This indicator is controlled by a transistor

8J - 16

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER

BR/BE

BRAKE/PARK BRAKE INDICATOR (Continued)
on the instrument cluster circuit board based upon a
hard wired input to the instrument cluster, cluster
programming, and electronic messages received by
the cluster from the Controller Antilock Brake (CAB)
over the Chrysler Collision Detection (CCD) data bus.
The brake indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED)
receives battery current on the instrument cluster
electronic circuit board through the fused ignition
switch output (st-run) circuit whenever the ignition
switch is in the On or Start positions; therefore, the
LED will always be off when the ignition switch is in
any position except On or Start. The LED only illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the
instrument cluster transistor. The instrument cluster
will turn on the brake indicator for the following reasons:
• Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch is
turned to the On position the brake indicator is illuminated by the instrument cluster for about four seconds as a bulb test.
• Park Brake-On - If the park brake is applied
or not fully released with the ignition switch in the
On position, the brake indicator is illuminated solid.
The brake indicator will blink on and off repeatedly
when the park brake is applied or not fully released
and the ignition switch is in the On position if a
vehicle with an automatic transmission is not in
Park or Neutral, or if the engine is running on vehicles with a manual transmission.
• Brake Lamp-On Message - Each time the
cluster receives a lamp-on message from the CAB,
the brake indicator will be illuminated. The indicator
remains illuminated until the cluster receives a
lamp-off message from the CAB, or until the ignition
switch is turned to the Off position, whichever occurs
first.
• Actuator Test - Each time the instrument cluster is put through the actuator test, the brake indicator will be turned on during the bulb check portion
of the test to confirm the functionality of the LED
and the cluster control circuitry.
The park brake switch on the park brake pedal
mechanism provides a hard wired ground input to
the instrument cluster circuitry through the park
brake switch sense circuit whenever the park brake
is applied or not fully released. The CAB continually
monitors the brake pressure switch on the brake
combination valve to determine if the pressures in
the two halves of the split brake hydraulic system
are unequal. The CAB then sends the proper lamp-on
or lamp-off messages to the instrument cluster. If the
CAB sends a lamp-on message after the bulb test, it
indicates that the CAB has detected a brake hydraulic system malfunction and/or that the ABS system
has become inoperative. The CAB will store a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for any malfunction it

detects. The park brake switch input to the instrument cluster can be diagnosed using conventional
diagnostic tools and methods. For proper diagnosis of
the antilock brake system, the CAB, the CCD data
bus, or the message inputs to the instrument cluster
that control the brake indicator, a DRBIIIt scan tool
is required. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - BRAKE INDICATOR
The diagnosis found here addresses an inoperative
brake indicator condition. If the brake indicator
comes on or stays on with the ignition switch in the
On position and the park brake released, or comes on
while driving, the brake system must be diagnosed
and repaired prior to performing the following tests.
(Refer to 5 - BRAKES - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). If no brake system problem is found, the following procedure will help locate a faulty park brake
switch or park brake switch sense circuit. Refer to
the appropriate wiring information. The wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and
connector repair procedures, details of wire harness
routing and retention, connector pin-out information
and location views for the various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.
WARNING: ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIRBAGS, DISABLE THE AIRBAG SYSTEM BEFORE
ATTEMPTING ANY STEERING WHEEL, STEERING
COLUMN, OR INSTRUMENT PANEL COMPONENT
DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. DISCONNECT AND ISOLATE THE BATTERY NEGATIVE (GROUND) CABLE,
THEN WAIT TWO MINUTES FOR THE AIRBAG SYSTEM CAPACITOR TO DISCHARGE BEFORE PERFORMING FURTHER DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. THIS
IS THE ONLY SURE WAY TO DISABLE THE AIRBAG
SYSTEM. FAILURE TO TAKE THE PROPER PRECAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL
INJURY.
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable. Disconnect the instrument panel wire harness
connector for the park brake switch from the switch
terminal. With the park brake released, check for
continuity between the park brake switch terminal
and a good ground. There should be no continuity. If
OK, go to Step 2. If not OK, adjust or replace the
faulty park brake switch.
(2) Remove the instrument cluster from the instrument panel. With the park brake switch still disconnected, check for continuity between the park brake
switch sense circuit cavity of the instrument panel
wire harness connector for the park brake switch and
a good ground. There should be no continuity. If OK,
go to Step 3. If not OK, repair the shorted park

brake switch sense circuit between the park brake
switch and the instrument cluster as required.
(3) Check for continuity between the park brake
switch sense circuit cavities of the instrument panel
wire harness connector for the park brake switch and
the instrument panel wire harness connector (Connector C1) for the instrument cluster. There should
be continuity. If OK, proceed with diagnosis of the
instrument cluster. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/INSTRUMENT CLUSTER - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). If not OK, repair the open park brake switch
sense circuit between the park brake switch and the
instrument cluster as required.

CHECK GAUGES INDICATOR
DESCRIPTION
A check gauges indicator is standard equipment on
all instrument clusters. The check gauges indicator is
located on the lower edge of the instrument cluster
overlay, to the right of center. The check gauges indicator consists of a stenciled cutout of the words
“CHECK GAGES” in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the
overlay prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated. A red lens behind the
cutout in the opaque layer of the overlay causes the
“CHECK GAGES” text to appear in red through the
translucent outer layer of the overlay when the indicator is illuminated from behind by a Light Emitting
Diode (LED) soldered onto the instrument cluster
electronic circuit board. The check gauges indicator is
serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

OPERATION
The check gauges indicator gives an indication to
the vehicle operator when certain instrument cluster
gauge readings reflect a condition requiring immediate attention. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument cluster circuit board based
upon the cluster programming and electronic messages received by the cluster from the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) over the Chrysler Collision
Detection (CCD) data bus. The check gauges indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) receives battery current on the instrument cluster electronic circuit
board through the fused ignition switch output (strun) circuit whenever the ignition switch is in the On
or Start positions; therefore, the LED will always be
off when the ignition switch is in any position except
On or Start. The LED only illuminates when it is
provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster
transistor. The instrument cluster will turn on the
check gauges indicator for the following reasons:

• Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch is
turned to the On position the check gauges indicator
is illuminated for about two seconds as a bulb test.
• Engine Temperature High Message - Each
time the cluster receives a message from the PCM
indicating the engine coolant temperature of a gasoline engine is about 122° C (253° F) or higher, or a
diesel engine is about 112° C (233° F) or higher, the
check gauges indicator will be illuminated. The indicator remains illuminated until the cluster receives a
message from the PCM indicating that the temperature of a gasoline engine is about 119° C (246° F) or
lower, a diesel engine is about 109° C (226° F) or
lower, or until the ignition switch is turned to the Off
position, whichever occurs first.
• Engine Oil Pressure Low Message - Each
time the cluster receives a message from the PCM
indicating the engine oil pressure of a gasoline
engine is about 3.45 kPa (0.5 psi) or lower, or a diesel
engine is about 51.71 kPa (7.5 psi) or lower, the
check gauges indicator will be illuminated. The indicator remains illuminated until the cluster receives a
message from the PCM indicating that the engine oil
pressure of a gasoline engine is above 3.45 kPa (0.5
psi), a diesel engine is above 51.71 kPa (7.5 psi), or
until the ignition switch is turned to the Off position,
whichever occurs first. The cluster will only turn the
indicator on in response to an engine oil pressure low
message if the engine speed is greater than zero.
• System Voltage Low Message - Each time the
cluster receives a message from the PCM indicating
the electrical system voltage is less than 11.5 volts,
the check gauges indicator will be illuminated. The
indicator remains illuminated until the cluster
receives a message from the PCM indicating the electrical system voltage is greater than 12.0 volts (but
less than 16.6 volts), or until the ignition switch is
turned to the Off position, whichever occurs first.
• System Voltage High Message - Each time
the cluster receives a message from the PCM indicating the electrical system voltage is greater than 16.6
volts, the check gauges indicator will be illuminated.
The indicator remains illuminated until the cluster
receives a message from the PCM indicating the electrical system voltage is less than 16.1 volts (but
greater than 11.5 volts), or until the ignition switch
is turned to the Off position, whichever occurs first.
• Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put
through the actuator test, the indicator will be
turned on during the bulb check portion of the test to
confirm the functionality of the LED and the cluster
control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the engine temperature, oil pressure, and electrical system voltage,
then sends the proper messages to the instrument
cluster. For further diagnosis of the check gauges

indicator or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the LED, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/INSTRUMENT CLUSTER - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
For proper diagnosis of the PCM, the CCD data bus,
or the message inputs to the instrument cluster that
control the check gauges indicator, a DRBIIIt scan
tool is required. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic
information.

CRUISE INDICATOR
DESCRIPTION
A cruise indicator is standard equipment on all
instrument clusters. However, on vehicles not
equipped with the optional speed control system, this
indicator is electronically disabled. The cruise indicator consists of the word “CRUISE”, which appears in
the lower portion of the odometer/trip odometer Vacuum-Fluorescent Display (VFD). The VFD is part of
the cluster electronic circuit board, and is visible
through a cutout located in the lower left corner of
the cluster overlay. The dark lens of the VFD prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it
is not illuminated. The word “CRUISE” appears in
an amber color and at the same lighting level as the
odometer/trip odometer information when it is illuminated by the instrument cluster electronic circuit
board. The cruise indicator is serviced as a unit with
the VFD in the instrument cluster.

OPERATION
The cruise indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the speed control system is turned
On, regardless of whether the speed control is
engaged. This indicator is controlled by the instrument cluster circuit board based upon the cluster
programming and electronic messages received by
the cluster from the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) over the Chrysler Collision Detection (CCD)
data bus. The cruise indicator receives battery current on the instrument cluster electronic circuit
board through the fused ignition switch output (strun) circuit whenever the ignition switch is in the On
or Start positions; therefore, the indicator will always
be off when the ignition switch is in any position
except On or Start. The indicator only illuminates
when it is switched to ground by the instrument cluster circuitry. The instrument cluster will turn on the
cruise indicator for the following reasons:
• Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch is
turned to the On position the cruise indicator is illuminated for about two seconds as a bulb test.
• Cruise Lamp-On Message - Each time the
cluster receives a cruise lamp-on message from the
PCM indicating the speed control system has been

turned On, the cruise indicator is illuminated. The
indicator remains illuminated until the cluster
receives a cruise lamp-off message from the PCM or
until the ignition switch is turned to the Off position,
whichever occurs first.
• Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put
through the actuator test, the cruise indicator will be
turned on during the VFD portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the VFD, and again during
the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the cluster control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the speed control
switches to determine the proper outputs to the
speed control servo. The PCM then sends the proper
cruise indicator lamp-on and lamp-off messages to
the instrument cluster. For further diagnosis of the
cruise indicator or the instrument cluster circuitry
that controls the indicator, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/INSTRUMENT CLUSTER - DIAGNOSIS AND
TESTING). For proper diagnosis of the speed control
system, the PCM, the CCD data bus, or the message
inputs to the instrument cluster that control the
cruise indicator, a DRBIIIt scan tool is required.
Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

ENGINE TEMPERATURE
GAUGE
DESCRIPTION
An engine coolant temperature gauge is standard
equipment on all instrument clusters. The engine
coolant temperature gauge is located in the lower left
quadrant of the instrument cluster, below the voltage
gauge. The engine coolant temperature gauge consists of a movable gauge needle or pointer controlled
by the instrument cluster circuitry and a fixed 90
degree scale on the cluster overlay that reads left-toright from 54° C (130° F) to 127° C (260° F) for gasoline engines, or from 60° C (140° F) to 116° C (240°
F) for diesel engines. An International Control and
Display Symbol icon for “Engine Coolant Temperature” is located on the cluster overlay, directly below
the lowest graduation of the gauge scale. The engine
coolant temperature gauge graphics are white
against a black field except for a single red graduation at the high end of the gauge scale, making them
clearly visible within the instrument cluster in daylight. When illuminated from behind by the panel
lamps dimmer controlled cluster illumination lighting
with the exterior lamps turned On, the white graphics appear blue-green and the red graphics appear
red. The orange gauge needle is internally illuminated. Gauge illumination is provided by replaceable
incandescent bulb and bulb holder units located on
the instrument cluster electronic circuit board. The

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER

BR/BE

8J - 19

ENGINE TEMPERATURE GAUGE (Continued)
engine coolant temperature gauge is serviced as a
unit with the instrument cluster.

OPERATION
The engine coolant temperature gauge gives an
indication to the vehicle operator of the engine coolant temperature. This gauge is controlled by the
instrument cluster circuit board based upon the cluster programming and electronic messages received by
the cluster from the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) over the Chrysler Collision Detection (CCD)
data bus. The engine coolant temperature gauge is
an air core magnetic unit that receives battery current on the instrument cluster electronic circuit
board through the fused ignition switch output (strun) circuit whenever the ignition switch is in the On
or Start positions. The cluster is programmed to
move the gauge needle back to the low end of the
scale after the ignition switch is turned to the Off
position. The instrument cluster circuitry controls
the gauge needle position and provides the following
features:
• Engine Temperature Message - Each time
the cluster receives a message from the PCM indicating the engine coolant temperature is between the
low end of normal [about 57° C (130° F) for gasoline
engines, or 60° C (140° F) for diesel engines] and the
high end of normal [about 129° C (264° F) for gasoline engines, or 116° C (240° F) for diesel engines],
the gauge needle is moved to the actual temperature
position on the gauge scale.
• Engine Temperature Low Message - Each
time the cluster receives a message from the PCM
indicating the engine coolant temperature is below
the low end of normal [about 57° C (130° F) for gasoline engines, or 60° C (140° F) for diesel engines],
the gauge needle is held at the lowest increment [57°
C (130° F) for gasoline engines, or 60° C (140° F) for
diesel engines] at the far left end of the gauge scale.
The gauge needle remains at the far left end of the
scale until the cluster receives a message from the
PCM indicating that the engine temperature is above
about 57° C (130° F) for gasoline engines, or 60° C
(140° F) for diesel engines, or until the ignition
switch is turned to the Off position, whichever occurs
first.
• Engine Temperature High Message - Each
time the cluster receives a message from the PCM
indicating the engine coolant temperature is above
about 122° C (253° F) for gasoline engines, or 112° C
(233° F) for diesel engines, the gauge needle is moved
to the appropriate position on the gauge scale, the
check gauges indicator is illuminated, and a single
chime tone is sounded. The check gauges indicator
remains illuminated until the cluster receives a message from the PCM indicating that the engine tem-

perature is below about 119° C (246° F) for gasoline
engines, or 109° C (226° F) for diesel engines, or
until the ignition switch is turned to the Off position,
whichever occurs first. The chime tone feature will
only repeat during the same ignition cycle if the
check gauges indicator is cycled off and then on
again by the appropriate engine temperature messages from the PCM.
• Message Failure - If the cluster fails to receive
an engine temperature message, it will hold the
gauge needle at the last indication until a new message is received, or until the ignition switch is turned
to the Off position, whichever occurs first.
• Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put
through the actuator test, the gauge needle will be
swept to several calibration points on the gauge scale
in a prescribed sequence in order to confirm the functionality of the gauge and the cluster control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the engine coolant
temperature sensor to determine the engine operating temperature. The PCM then sends the proper
engine coolant temperature messages to the instrument cluster. For further diagnosis of the engine coolant temperature gauge or the instrument cluster
circuitry that controls the gauge, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/INSTRUMENT CLUSTER - DIAGNOSIS
AND TESTING). If the instrument cluster turns on
the check gauges indicator due to a high engine temperature gauge reading, it may indicate that the
engine or the engine cooling system requires service.
For proper diagnosis of the engine coolant temperature sensor, the PCM, the CCD data bus, or the message inputs to the instrument cluster that control the
engine coolant temperature gauge, a DRBIIIt scan
tool is required. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic
information.

FUEL GAUGE
DESCRIPTION
A fuel gauge is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. The fuel gauge is located in the lower
right quadrant of the instrument cluster, below the
oil pressure gauge. The fuel gauge consists of a movable gauge needle or pointer controlled by the instrument cluster circuitry and a fixed 90 degree scale on
the cluster overlay that reads left-to-right from E (or
Empty) to F (or Full). An International Control and
Display Symbol icon for “Fuel” is located on the cluster overlay, directly below the highest graduation of
the gauge scale. The text “FUEL DOOR” and an
arrowhead pointed to the left side of the vehicle is
imprinted on the cluster overlay directly below the
fuel gauge to provide the driver with a reminder as

8J - 20

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER

BR/BE

FUEL GAUGE (Continued)
to the location of the fuel filler access. The fuel gauge
graphics are white against a black field except for a
single red graduation at the low end of the gauge
scale, making them clearly visible within the instrument cluster in daylight. When illuminated from
behind by the panel lamps dimmer controlled cluster
illumination lighting with the exterior lamps turned
On, the white graphics appear blue-green and the
red graphics appear red. The orange gauge needle is
internally illuminated. Gauge illumination is provided by replaceable incandescent bulb and bulb
holder units located on the instrument cluster electronic circuit board. The fuel gauge is serviced as a
unit with the instrument cluster.

OPERATION
The fuel gauge gives an indication to the vehicle
operator of the level of fuel in the fuel tank. This
gauge is controlled by the instrument cluster circuit
board based upon the cluster programming and electronic messages received by the cluster from the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) over the Chrysler
Collision Detection (CCD) data bus. The fuel gauge is
an air core magnetic unit that receives battery current on the instrument cluster electronic circuit
board through the fused ignition switch output (strun) circuit whenever the ignition switch is in the On
or Start positions. The cluster is programmed to
move the gauge needle back to the low end of the
scale after the ignition switch is turned to the Off
position. The instrument cluster circuitry controls
the gauge needle position and provides the following
features:
• Percent Tank Full Message - Each time the
cluster receives a message from the PCM indicating
the percent tank full, the cluster programming
applies an algorithm to calculate the proper gauge
needle position, then moves the gauge needle to the
proper position on the gauge scale. The algorithm is
used to dampen gauge needle movement against the
negative effect that fuel sloshing within the fuel tank
can have on accurate inputs from the fuel tank sending unit to the PCM.
• Less Than 12.5 Percent Tank Full Message Each time the cluster receives messages from the
PCM indicating the percent tank full is 12.5 (oneeighth) or less for 10 consecutive seconds and the
vehicle speed is zero, or for 60 consecutive seconds
and the vehicle speed is greater than zero, the gauge
needle is moved to the proper position on the gauge
scale, the low fuel indicator is illuminated, and a single chime tone is sounded. The low fuel indicator
remains illuminated until the cluster receives messages from the PCM indicating that the percent tank
full is greater than 12.5 (one-eighth) for 10 consecutive seconds and the vehicle speed is zero, or for 60

consecutive seconds and the vehicle speed is greater
than zero, or until the ignition switch is turned to
the Off position, whichever occurs first. The chime
tone feature will only repeat during the same ignition cycle if the low fuel indicator is cycled off and
then on again by the appropriate percent tank full
messages from the PCM.
• Less Than Empty Percent Tank Full Message - Each time the cluster receives a message from
the PCM indicating the percent tank full is less than
empty, the gauge needle is moved to the far left (low)
end of the gauge scale and the low fuel indicator is
illuminated immediately. This message would indicate that the fuel tank sender input to the PCM is a
short circuit.
• More Than Full Percent Tank Full Message
- Each time the cluster receives a message from the
PCM indicating the percent tank full is more than
full, the gauge needle is moved to the far left (low)
end of the gauge scale and the low fuel indicator is
illuminated immediately. This message would indicate that the fuel tank sender input to the PCM is an
open circuit.
• Message Failure - If the cluster fails to receive
a percent tank full message, it will hold the gauge
needle at the last indication until a new message is
received, or until the ignition switch is turned to the
Off position, whichever occurs first.
• Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put
through the actuator test, the gauge needle will be
swept to several calibration points on the gauge scale
in a prescribed sequence in order to confirm the functionality of the gauge and the cluster control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the fuel tank sending unit, then sends the proper messages to the
instrument cluster. For further diagnosis of the fuel
gauge or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the gauge, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/INSTRUMENT CLUSTER - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
For proper diagnosis of the fuel tank sending unit,
the PCM, the CCD data bus, or the message inputs
to the instrument cluster that control the fuel gauge,
a DRBIIIt scan tool is required. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

GEAR SELECTOR INDICATOR
DESCRIPTION
A mechanical automatic transmission gear selector
indicator is standard factory-installed equipment on
this model, when it is also equipped with an optional
automatic transmission. The gear selector indicator
consists of a molded black plastic housing with integral mounting tabs that is secured to the back of the

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER

BR/BE

8J - 21

GEAR SELECTOR INDICATOR (Continued)
instrument cluster housing with two screws. A face
plate on the indicator housing is visible through a
rectangular cutout in the lower right corner of the
instrument cluster overlay, just below the fuel gauge.
Vehicles with a manual transmission have a block-off
plate mounted to the back of the instrument cluster
behind this cutout in the overlay, in place of the gear
selector indicator. Near the top of this face plate the
following characters are imprinted from left to right:
“P,” “R,” “N,” “D,” “2,” and “1.” Respectively, these
characters represent the park, reverse, neutral,
drive, second gear, and first gear positions of the
transmission gear selector lever on the steering column. Directly below each character on the face plate
is a small, rectangular window, and behind these
windows is a single, movable red pointer.
The gear selector indicator graphics are white
against a black field except for the single red pointer,
making them clearly visible within the instrument
cluster in daylight. When illuminated from behind by
the panel lamps dimmer controlled cluster illumination lighting with the exterior lamps turned On, the
white graphics appear blue-green, while the red
pointer still appears red. Indicator illumination is
provided by replaceable incandescent bulb and bulb
holder units located on the instrument cluster electronic circuit board. The gear selector indicator is
available for service replacement separate from the
instrument cluster. The instrument cluster must be
removed from the instrument panel for service access
to the gear selector indicator. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/INSTRUMENT CLUSTER - REMOVAL).

OPERATION
The mechanical gear selector indicator gives an
indication of the transmission gear that has been
selected with the automatic transmission gear selector lever. A red pointer appears in a window below
the character in the indicator representing the transmission gear that has been selected. The small,
spring-loaded pointer moves on a track through a
trolley-like mechanism within the indicator housing.
A short length of small diameter stranded cable is
attached to one side of the pointer trolley and is
encased in a tubular plastic housing that exits the
right side of the indicator. The cable is routed
through the instrument panel and under the steering
column to the left side of the column. The looped end
of the cable is hooked over the end of the PRNDL
driver lever on the steering column gearshift mechanism, and the cable housing is secured in a molded
plastic adjuster and bracket on the column housing.
When the gear selector lever is moved the PRNDL
driver lever moves, which moves the pointer through
the mechanical actuator cable. The cable adjuster
and bracket unit mounted on the steering column

housing provides a mechanical means of calibrating
the gear selector indicator mechanism. (Refer to 19 STEERING/COLUMN - INSTALLATION).

HIGH BEAM INDICATOR
DESCRIPTION
A high beam indicator is standard equipment on
all instrument clusters. The high beam indicator is
located near the upper edge of the instrument cluster
overlay, between the tachometer and the speedometer. The high beam indicator consists of a stenciled
cutout of the International Control and Display Symbol icon for “High Beam” in the opaque layer of the
instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of
the overlay prevents the indicator from being clearly
visible when it is not illuminated. A blue lens behind
the cutout in the opaque layer of the overlay causes
the icon to appear in blue through the translucent
outer layer of the overlay when it is illuminated from
behind by a replaceable incandescent bulb and bulb
holder unit located on the instrument cluster electronic circuit board. The high beam indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

OPERATION
The high beam indicator gives an indication to the
vehicle operator when the headlamp high beams are
illuminated. This indicator is hard wired on the
instrument cluster electronic circuit board, and is
controlled by a headlamp beam select switch input to
the cluster. The headlamp high beam indicator bulb
receives battery current on the instrument cluster
electronic circuit board through a fused B(+) circuit
at all times; therefore, the indicator remains operational regardless of the ignition switch position. The
headlamp beam select switch is integral to the multifunction switch on the left side of the steering column, and is connected in series between ground and
the headlamp high beam indicator. The indicator
bulb only illuminates when it is provided with a path
to ground through the high beam indicator driver circuit by the headlamp beam select switch. (Refer to 8
- ELECTRICAL/LAMPS/LIGHTING - EXTERIOR/
MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH - OPERATION). The
high beam indicator can be diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and methods.

LOW FUEL INDICATOR
DESCRIPTION
A low fuel indicator is standard equipment on all
instrument clusters. The low fuel indicator is located
near the lower edge of the instrument cluster overlay,
to the right of center. The low fuel indicator consists
of a stenciled cutout of the International Control and
Display Symbol icon for “Fuel” in the opaque layer of
the instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer
of the overlay prevents the indicator from being
clearly visible when it is not illuminated. An amber
lens behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the
overlay causes the icon to appear in amber through
the translucent outer layer of the overlay when the
indicator is illuminated from behind by a Light Emitting Diode (LED) soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board. The low fuel indicator is
serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

OPERATION
The low fuel indicator gives an indication to the
vehicle operator when the level of fuel in the fuel
tank becomes low. This indicator is controlled by a
transistor on the instrument cluster circuit board
based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received by the cluster from the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) over the Chrysler Collision

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER

BR/BE

8J - 23

LOW FUEL INDICATOR (Continued)
Detection (CCD) data bus. The low fuel indicator
Light Emitting Diode (LED) receives battery current
on the instrument cluster electronic circuit board
through the fused ignition switch output (st-run) circuit whenever the ignition switch is in the On or
Start positions; therefore, the LED will always be off
when the ignition switch is in any position except On
or Start. The LED only illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster
transistor. The instrument cluster will turn on the
low fuel indicator for the following reasons:
• Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch is
turned to the On position the indicator is illuminated
for about two seconds as a bulb test.
• Less Than 12.5 Percent Tank Full Message Each time the cluster receives messages from the
PCM indicating the percent tank full is 12.5 (oneeighth) or less for 10 consecutive seconds and the
vehicle speed is zero, or for 60 consecutive seconds
and the vehicle speed is greater than zero, the low
fuel indicator is illuminated and a single chime tone
is sounded. The low fuel indicator remains illuminated until the cluster receives messages from the
PCM indicating that the percent tank full is greater
than 12.5 (one-eighth) for 10 consecutive seconds and
the vehicle speed is zero, or for 60 consecutive seconds and the vehicle speed is greater than zero, or
until the ignition switch is turned to the Off position,
whichever occurs first. The chime tone feature will
only repeat during the same ignition cycle if the low
fuel indicator is cycled off and then on again by the
appropriate percent tank full messages from the
PCM.
• Less Than Empty Percent Tank Full Message - Each time the cluster receives a message from
the PCM indicating the percent tank full is less than
empty, the low fuel indicator is illuminated immediately. This message would indicate that the fuel tank
sender input to the PCM is a short circuit.
• More Than Full Percent Tank Full Message
- Each time the cluster receives a message from the
PCM indicating the percent tank full is more than
full, the low fuel indicator is illuminated immediately. This message would indicate that the fuel tank
sender input to the PCM is an open circuit.
• Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put
through the actuator test, the indicator will be
turned on during the bulb check portion of the test to
confirm the functionality of the LED and the cluster
control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the fuel tank sending unit, then sends the proper messages to the
instrument cluster. For further diagnosis of the low
fuel indicator or the instrument cluster circuitry that
controls the LED, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/INSTRUMENT CLUSTER - DIAGNOSIS AND TEST-

ING). For proper diagnosis of the fuel tank sending
unit, the PCM, the CCD data bus, or the message
inputs to the instrument cluster that control the low
fuel indicator, a DRBIIIt scan tool is required. Refer
to the appropriate diagnostic information.

MALFUNCTION INDICATOR
LAMP MIL
DESCRIPTION
A Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) is standard
equipment on all instrument clusters. The MIL is
located near the lower edge of the instrument cluster
overlay, to the left of center. The MIL consists of a
stencilled cutout of the International Control and
Display Symbol icon for “Engine” in the opaque layer
of the instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer
layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being
clearly visible when it is not illuminated. An amber
lens behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the
overlay causes the icon to appear in amber through
the translucent outer layer of the overlay when the
indicator is illuminated from behind by a Light Emitting Diode (LED) soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board. The MIL is serviced as a
unit with the instrument cluster.

OPERATION
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) gives an
indication to the vehicle operator when the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) has recorded a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for an On-Board Diagnostics
II (OBDII) emissions-related circuit or component
malfunction. In addition, on models with a diesel
engine an Engine Control Module (ECM) supplements the PCM, and can also record an OBDII DTC.
The MIL is controlled by a transistor on the instrument cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received by the
cluster from the PCM or ECM over the Chrysler Collision Detection (CCD) data bus. The MIL Light
Emitting Diode (LED) receives battery current on the
instrument cluster electronic circuit board through
the fused ignition switch output (st-run) circuit
whenever the ignition switch is in the On or Start
positions; therefore, the LED will always be off when
the ignition switch is in any position except On or
Start. The LED only illuminates when it is provided
a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The instrument cluster will turn on the MIL for
the following reasons:
• Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch is
turned to the On position the indicator is illuminated
for about seven seconds as a bulb test.

8J - 24

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER

BR/BE

MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP MIL (Continued)
• PCM Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives a lamp-on message from the PCM or
ECM, the indicator will be illuminated. The indicator
can be flashed on and off, or illuminated solid, as dictated by the PCM or ECM message. For some DTC’s,
if a problem does not recur, the PCM or ECM will
send a lamp-off message automatically. Other DTC’s
may require that a fault be repaired and the PCM or
ECM be reset before a lamp-off message will be sent.
For more information on the PCM, the ECM, and the
DTC set and reset parameters, (Refer to 25 - EMISSIONS CONTROL - OPERATION).
• Communication Error - If the cluster receives
no lamp-on message from the PCM or ECM for
twenty seconds, the MIL is illuminated by the instrument cluster to indicate a loss of bus communication.
The indicator remains controlled and illuminated by
the cluster until a valid lamp-on message is received
from the PCM or ECM.
• Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put
through the actuator test, the indicator will be
turned on during the bulb check portion of the test to
confirm the functionality of the LED and the cluster
control circuitry.
The PCM/ECM continually monitor the fuel and
emissions system circuits and sensors to decide
whether the system is in good operating condition.
The PCM or ECM then sends the proper lamp-on or
lamp-off messages to the instrument cluster. For further diagnosis of the MIL or the instrument cluster
circuitry that controls the LED, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/INSTRUMENT CLUSTER - DIAGNOSIS
AND TESTING). If the instrument cluster turns on
the MIL after the bulb test, it may indicate that a
malfunction has occurred and that the fuel and emissions systems may require service. For proper diagnosis of the fuel and emissions systems, the PCM,
the ECM, the CCD data bus, or the message inputs
to the instrument cluster that control the MIL, a
DRBIIIt scan tool is required. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

ODOMETER
DESCRIPTION
An odometer and trip odometer are standard
equipment in all instrument clusters. The odometer
and trip odometer information are displayed in a
common electronic Vacuum-Fluorescent Display
(VFD), which is visible through a small window cutout located in the left lower quadrant of the cluster
overlay. However, the odometer and trip odometer
information are not displayed simultaneously. The
trip odometer reset switch on the instrument cluster
circuit board toggles the display between odometer

and trip odometer modes by depressing the odometer/
trip odometer switch knob that extends through the
lower edge of the cluster lens, just right of the
tachometer. Both the odometer and the trip odometer
information is stored in the instrument cluster memory.
The odometer can display values up to 499,999
kilometers (499,999 miles). The odometer latches at
these values, and will not roll over to zero. The trip
odometer can display values up to 999.9 kilometers
(999.9 miles) before it rolls over to zero. The odometer display does not have a decimal point and will
not show values less than a full unit (kilometer or
mile), the trip odometer display does have a decimal
point and will show tenths of a unit (kilometer or
mile). The unit of measure (kilometers or miles) for
the odometer and trip odometer display is not shown
in the VFD. The unit of measure for the instrument
cluster odometer/trip odometer is selected at the time
that it is manufactured, and cannot be changed. During daylight hours (exterior lamps Off) the VFD is
illuminated at full brightness for clear visibility. At
night (exterior lamps are On) the VFD lighting level
is adjusted with the other cluster illumination lamps
using the panel lamps dimmer thumbwheel on the
headlamp switch. However, a “Parade” mode position
of the panel lamps dimmer thumbwheel allows the
VFD to be illuminated at full brightness while the
exterior lamps are turned On during daylight hours.
The VFD, the trip odometer switch, and the trip
odometer switch button are serviced as a unit with
the instrument cluster.

OPERATION
The odometer and trip odometer give an indication
to the vehicle operator of the distance the vehicle has
traveled. This gauge is controlled by the instrument
cluster circuit board based upon the cluster programming and electronic messages received by the cluster
from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) over the
Chrysler Collision Detection (CCD) data bus. The
odometer and trip odometer information is displayed
by the instrument cluster Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD), and the VFD will not display odometer
or trip odometer information after the ignition switch
is turned to the Off position. The instrument cluster
circuitry controls the VFD and provides the following
features:
• Odometer/Trip Odometer Display Toggling Actuating the trip odometer reset switch momentarily with the ignition switch in the On position will
toggle the VFD between the odometer and trip odometer display. Each time the ignition switch is turned
to the On position the VFD will automatically return
to the mode (odometer or trip odometer) last dis-

ODOMETER (Continued)
played when the ignition switch was turned to the
Off position.
• Trip Odometer Reset - When the trip odometer reset switch is pressed and held for longer than
about two seconds, the trip odometer will be reset to
000.0 kilometers (miles). The VFD must be displaying the trip odometer information in order for the
trip odometer information to be reset.
• Message Failure - If the cluster fails to receive
a distance message during normal operation, it will
flash the odometer/trip odometer distance information on and off repeatedly until a distance message is
received, or until the ignition switch is turned to the
Off position, whichever occurs first. If the cluster
does not receive a distance message within one second after the ignition switch is turned to the On position, it will display the last distance message stored
in the cluster memory. If the cluster is unable to display distance information due to an error internal to
the cluster, the VFD display will be blank.
• Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put
through the actuator test, the VFD will display all of
its characters at once, then step through each character segment individually during the VFD portion of
the test to confirm the functionality of the VFD and
the cluster control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the vehicle speed
sensor, then sends the proper distance messages to
the instrument cluster. For further diagnosis of the
odometer/trip odometer or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls these functions, (Refer to 8 ELECTRICAL/INSTRUMENT CLUSTER - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). For proper diagnosis of the
vehicle speed sensor, the PCM, the CCD data bus, or
the message inputs to the instrument cluster that
control the odometer/trip odometer, a DRBIIIt scan
tool is required. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic
information.

OIL PRESSURE GAUGE
DESCRIPTION
An oil pressure gauge is standard equipment on all
instrument clusters. The oil pressure gauge is located
in the upper right quadrant of the instrument cluster, above the fuel gauge. The oil pressure gauge consists of a movable gauge needle or pointer controlled
by the instrument cluster circuitry and a fixed 90
degree scale on the cluster overlay that reads left-toright either from 0 kPa (0 psi) to 758 kPa (110 psi).
An International Control and Display Symbol icon for
“Engine Oil” is located on the cluster overlay, directly
below the highest graduation of the gauge scale. The
oil pressure gauge graphics are white against a black
field except for a single red graduation at the low

end of the gauge scale, making them clearly visible
within the instrument cluster in daylight. When illuminated from behind by the panel lamps dimmer
controlled cluster illumination lighting with the exterior lamps turned On, the white graphics appear
blue-green and the red graphics appear red. The
orange gauge needle is internally illuminated. Gauge
illumination is provided by replaceable incandescent
bulb and bulb holder units located on the instrument
cluster electronic circuit board. The oil pressure
gauge is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

OPERATION
The oil pressure gauge gives an indication to the
vehicle operator of the engine oil pressure. This
gauge is controlled by the instrument cluster circuit
board based upon the cluster programming and electronic messages received by the cluster from the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) over the Chrysler
Collision Detection (CCD) data bus. The oil pressure
gauge is an air core magnetic unit that receives battery current on the instrument cluster electronic circuit board through the fused ignition switch output
(st-run) circuit whenever the ignition switch is in the
On or Start positions. The cluster is programmed to
move the gauge needle back to the low end of the
scale after the ignition switch is turned to the Off
position. The instrument cluster circuitry controls
the gauge needle position and provides the following
features:
• Engine Oil Pressure Message - The instrument cluster circuitry restricts the oil pressure gauge
needle operation in order to provide readings that
are consistent with customer expectations. Each time
the cluster receives a message from the PCM indicating the engine oil pressure is between about 6.9 kPa
(1 psi) and 137.9 kPa (20 psi) for gasoline engines, or
55 kPa (8 psi) and 58.6 kPa (8.5 psi) for diesel
engines, the cluster holds the gauge needle at a point
about 11 degrees above the low end of normal increment on the gauge scale. Each time the cluster
receives a message from the PCM indicating the
engine oil pressure is between about 517.1 kPa (75
psi) and 755 kPa (109.5 psi) for gasoline engines, or
551.6 kPa (80 psi) and 755 kPa (109.5 psi) for diesel
engines, the cluster holds the gauge needle at a point
about 7.4 degrees below the high end of normal
increment on the gauge scale. When the cluster
receives messages from the PCM indicating the
engine oil pressure is between about 137.9 kPa (20
psi) and 517.1 kPa (75 psi) for gasoline engines, or
58.6 kPa (8.5 psi) and 551.6 kPa (80 psi) for diesel
engines], the gauge needle is moved to the actual
pressure position on the gauge scale.

8J - 26

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER

BR/BE

OIL PRESSURE GAUGE (Continued)
• Engine Oil Pressure Low Message - Each
time the cluster receives a message from the PCM
indicating the engine oil pressure is below about 6.9
kPa (1 psi) for gasoline engines, or 55 kPa (8 psi) for
diesel engines, the gauge needle is moved to the 0
kPa (0 psi) graduation at the far left (low) end of the
gauge scale, the check gauges indicator is illuminated, and a single chime tone is generated. The
gauge needle remains at the low end of the scale and
the check gauges indicator remains illuminated until
the cluster receives a message from the PCM indicating that the engine oil pressure is above about 6.9
kPa (1 psi) for gasoline engines, or 55 kPa (8 psi) for
diesel engines, or until the ignition switch is turned
to the Off position, whichever occurs first. The cluster will only turn the check gauges indicator lamp on
in response to an engine oil pressure low message if
the engine speed message is greater than zero.
• Engine Oil Pressure High Message - Each
time the cluster receives a message from the PCM
indicating the engine oil pressure is above about 755
kPa (109.5 psi) for gasoline or diesel engines, the
gauge needle is moved to the 758.4 kPa (110 psi)
graduation at the far right (high) end of the gauge
scale. The gauge needle remains at the high end of
the scale until the cluster receives a message from
the PCM indicating that the engine oil pressure is
below about 755 kPa (109.5 psi) for gasoline or diesel
engines, or until the ignition switch is turned to the
Off position, whichever occurs first.
• Message Failure - If the cluster fails to receive
an engine oil pressure message, it will hold the
gauge needle at the last indication until a new message is received, or until the ignition switch is turned
to the Off position, whichever occurs first.
• Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put
through the actuator test, the gauge needle will be
swept to several calibration points on the gauge scale
in a prescribed sequence in order to confirm the functionality of the gauge and the cluster control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the engine oil pressure sensor to determine the engine oil pressure. The
PCM then sends the proper engine oil pressure messages to the instrument cluster. For further diagnosis
of the oil pressure gauge or the instrument cluster
circuitry that controls the gauge, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/INSTRUMENT CLUSTER - DIAGNOSIS
AND TESTING). If the instrument cluster turns on
the check gauges indicator due to a low oil pressure
gauge reading, it may indicate that the engine or the
engine oiling system requires service. For proper
diagnosis of the engine oil pressure sensor, the PCM,
the CCD data bus, or the message inputs to the
instrument cluster that control the oil pressure

gauge, a DRBIIIt scan tool is required. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.

OVERDRIVE OFF INDICATOR
DESCRIPTION
An overdrive off indicator is standard equipment
on all instrument clusters. However, on vehicles not
equipped with the optional overdrive automatic
transmission, this indicator is electronically disabled.
The overdrive off indicator is located near the lower
edge of the instrument cluster overlay, to the right of
center. The overdrive off indicator consists of a stencilled cutout of the words “O/D OFF” in the opaque
layer of the instrument cluster overlay. The dark
outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from
being clearly visible when it is not illuminated. An
amber lens behind the cutout in the opaque layer of
the overlay causes the “O/D OFF” text to appear in
amber through the translucent outer layer of the
overlay when the indicator is illuminated from
behind by a Light Emitting Diode (LED) soldered
onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
The overdrive off indicator is serviced as a unit with
the instrument cluster.

OPERATION
The overdrive off indicator gives an indication to
the vehicle operator when the Off position of the
overdrive off switch has been selected, disabling the
electronically controlled overdrive feature of the automatic transmission. This indicator is controlled by a
transistor on the instrument cluster circuit board
based upon the cluster programming and electronic
messages received by the cluster from the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) over the Chrysler Collision
Detection (CCD) data bus. The overdrive off indicator
Light Emitting Diode (LED) receives battery current
on the instrument cluster electronic circuit board
through the fused ignition switch output (st-run) circuit whenever the ignition switch is in the On or
Start positions; therefore, the LED will always be off
when the ignition switch is in any position except On
or Start. The LED only illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster
transistor. The instrument cluster will turn on the
overdrive off indicator for the following reasons:
• Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch is
turned to the On position the overdrive off indicator
is illuminated for about two seconds as a bulb test.
• Overdrive Off Lamp-On Message - Each time
the cluster receives an overdrive off lamp-on message
from the PCM indicating that the Off position of the
overdrive off switch has been selected, the overdrive
off indicator will be illuminated. The indicator

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER

OVERDRIVE OFF INDICATOR (Continued)
remains illuminated until the cluster receives an
overdrive off lamp-off message from the PCM, or
until the ignition switch is turned to the Off position,
whichever occurs first.
• Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put
through the actuator test, the indicator will be
turned on during the bulb check portion of the test to
confirm the functionality of the LED and the cluster
control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the overdrive off
switch to determine the proper outputs to the automatic transmission, then sends the proper messages
to the instrument cluster. For further diagnosis of
the overdrive off indicator or the instrument cluster
circuitry that controls the LED, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/INSTRUMENT CLUSTER - DIAGNOSIS
AND TESTING). For proper diagnosis of the overdrive control system, the PCM, the CCD data bus, or
the message inputs to the instrument cluster that
control the overdrive off indicator, a DRBIIIt scan
tool is required. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic
information.

SEATBELT INDICATOR
DESCRIPTION
A seatbelt indicator is standard equipment on all
instrument clusters. The seatbelt indicator is located
near the lower edge of the instrument cluster overlay,
to the right of center. The seatbelt indicator consists
of a stencilled cutout of the International Control and
Display Symbol icon for “Seat Belt” in the opaque
layer of the instrument cluster overlay. The dark
outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from
being clearly visible when it is not illuminated. A red
lens behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the
overlay causes the icon to appear in red through the
translucent outer layer of the overlay when the indicator is illuminated from behind by a Light Emitting
Diode (LED) soldered onto the instrument cluster
electronic circuit board. The seatbelt indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

OPERATION
The seatbelt indicator gives an indication to the
vehicle operator of the status of the driver side front
seatbelt buckle. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument cluster circuit board based
upon the cluster programming, and a hard wired
input from the seatbelt switch in the driver side front
seatbelt through the seat belt switch sense circuit.
The seatbelt indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED)
receives battery current on the instrument cluster
electronic circuit board through the fused ignition
switch output (st-run) circuit whenever the ignition

switch is in the On or Start positions; therefore, the
indicator will always be off when the ignition switch
is in any position except On or Start. The LED only
illuminates when it is switched to ground by the
instrument cluster transistor. The instrument cluster
will turn on the seatbelt indicator for the following
reasons:
• Seatbelt Reminder Function - Each time the
cluster receives a battery current input on the fused
ignition switch output (st-run) circuit, the indicator
will be illuminated as a seatbelt reminder for about
seven seconds, or until the ignition switch is turned
to the Off position, whichever occurs first. This
reminder function will occur regardless of the status
of the seatbelt switch input to the cluster.
• Driver Side Front Seatbelt Not Buckled Following the seatbelt reminder function, each time
the cluster receives a ground input on the seat belt
switch sense circuit (seatbelt switch closed - seatbelt
unbuckled) with the ignition switch in the Start or
On positions, the indicator will be illuminated. The
seatbelt indicator remains illuminated until the seat
belt switch sense input to the cluster is an open circuit (seatbelt switch opened - seatbelt buckled), or
until the ignition switch is turned to the Off position,
whichever occurs first.
• Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put
through the actuator test, the indicator will be
turned on during the bulb check portion of the test to
confirm the functionality of the LED and the cluster
control circuitry.
The seatbelt switch input to the instrument cluster
circuitry can be diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and methods. For further diagnosis of the
seatbelt indicator or the instrument cluster circuitry
that controls the LED, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER - DIAGNOSIS AND
TESTING).

SERVICE REMINDER
INDICATOR
DESCRIPTION
A Service Reminder Indicator (SRI) is standard
equipment on all instrument clusters. However, on
vehicles not equipped with certain optional heavy
duty emission cycle gasoline engines, this indicator is
electronically disabled. The SRI is located near the
lower edge of the instrument cluster overlay, to the
left of center. The SRI consists of a stencilled cutout
of the words “MAINT REQD” in the opaque layer of
the instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer
of the overlay prevents the indicator from being
clearly visible when it is not illuminated. An amber
lens behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the

overlay causes the “MAINT REQD” text to appear in
amber through the translucent outer layer of the
overlay when the indicator is illuminated from
behind by a Light Emitting Diode (LED) soldered
onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
The SRI is serviced as a unit with the instrument
cluster.

OPERATION
The Service Reminder Indicator (SRI) gives an
indication to the vehicle operator when engine emissions maintenance procedures should be performed.
This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the
instrument cluster circuit board based upon the cluster programming and electronic messages received by
the cluster from the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) over the Chrysler Collision Detection (CCD)
data bus. The SRI Light Emitting Diode (LED)
receives battery current on the instrument cluster
electronic circuit board through the fused ignition

LED will always be off when the ignition switch is in
any position except On or Start. The LED only illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the
instrument cluster transistor. The instrument cluster
will turn on the SRI for the following reasons:
• Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch is
turned to the On position the SRI is illuminated for
about two seconds as a bulb test.
• Service Required Lamp-On Message - Each
time the cluster receives a service required lamp-on
message from the PCM indicating that an emissions
maintenance interval has been reached, the SRI will
be illuminated. The indicator remains illuminated
until the cluster receives a service required lamp-off
message from the PCM, or until the ignition switch
is turned to the Off position, whichever occurs first.
• Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put
through the actuator test, the SRI will be turned on
during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm
the functionality of the LED and the cluster control
circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the vehicle speed
sensor to determine the distance the vehicle has been
driven, then sends the proper messages to the instrument cluster. Once the SRI has been illuminated and
the required emissions maintenance procedures have
been completed, the PCM must be reset using a
DRBIIIt scan tool before it will send the proper service required lamp-off message to the instrument
cluster. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information. For further diagnosis of the SRI or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the LED, (Refer
to 8 - ELECTRICAL/INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). For proper diagnosis

of the PCM, the CCD data bus, or the message
inputs to the instrument cluster that control the SRI,
a DRBIIIt scan tool is required. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

SHIFT INDICATOR (TRANSFER
CASE)
DESCRIPTION
A four-wheel drive indicator is standard equipment
on all instrument clusters. However, on vehicles not
equipped with the optional four-wheel drive system,
this indicator is mechanically disabled. The fourwheel drive indicator is located near the lower edge
of the instrument cluster overlay, to the right of center. The four-wheel drive indicator consists of a stencilled cutout of the text “4WD” in the opaque layer of
the instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer
of the overlay prevents the indicator from being
clearly visible when it is not illuminated. An amber
lens behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the
overlay causes the “4WD” text to appear in amber
through the translucent outer layer of the overlay
when the indicator is illuminated from behind by a
Light Emitting Diode (LED) soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board. The four-wheel
drive indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

OPERATION
The four-wheel drive indicator lamp gives an indication to the vehicle operator that a four-wheel drive
operating mode is engaged. The indicator will be illuminated when either high range (4H) or low range
(4L) have been selected with the transfer case shift
lever. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on
the instrument cluster circuit board based upon the
cluster programming, and a hard wired input from
the four-wheel drive switch on the front axle disconnect housing. The four-wheel drive indicator Light
Emitting Diode (LED) receives battery current on the
instrument cluster electronic circuit board through
the fused ignition switch output (st-run) circuit
whenever the ignition switch is in the On or Start
positions; therefore, the lamp will always be off when
the ignition switch is in any position except On or
Start. The LED only illuminates when it is switched
to ground by the instrument cluster transistor.
The four-wheel drive switch is connected in series
between ground and the four-wheel drive switch
sense input to the instrument cluster. For further
information on the transfer case and the transfer
case operating ranges, (Refer to 21 - TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE/TRANSFER CASE - OPERATION. For further information on the front axle

SPEEDOMETER
DESCRIPTION
A speedometer is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. The speedometer is located just to the
right of the tachometer near the center of the instrument cluster. The speedometer consists of a movable
gauge needle or pointer controlled by the instrument
cluster circuitry and a fixed 210 degree primary scale
on the gauge dial face that reads left-to-right either
from 0 to 120 mph, or from 0 to 200 km/h, depending
upon the market for which the vehicle is manufactured. Each version also has a secondary inner scale
on the gauge dial face that provides the equivalent
opposite units from the primary scale. Text appearing
on the cluster overlay just below the hub of the
speedometer needle abbreviates the unit of measure
for the primary scale in all upper case letters (i.e.:
MPH or KM/H), followed by the unit of measure for
the secondary scale in all lower case letters (i.e.: mph
or km/h). The speedometer graphics are white (primary scale) and red (secondary scale) against a black
field, making them clearly visible within the instrument cluster in daylight. When illuminated from
behind by the panel lamps dimmer controlled cluster

illumination lighting with the exterior lamps turned
On, the white graphics appear blue-green, while the
red graphics still appear red. The orange gauge needle is internally illuminated. Gauge illumination is
provided by replaceable incandescent bulb and bulb
holder units located on the instrument cluster electronic circuit board. The speedometer is serviced as a
unit with the instrument cluster.

OPERATION
The speedometer gives an indication to the vehicle
operator of the vehicle road speed. This gauge is controlled by the instrument cluster circuit board based
upon the cluster programming and electronic messages received by the cluster from the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) over the Chrysler Collision
Detection (CCD) data bus. The speedometer is an air
core magnetic unit that receives battery current on
the instrument cluster electronic circuit board
through the fused ignition switch output (st-run) circuit whenever the ignition switch is in the On or
Start positions. The cluster is programmed to move
the gauge needle back to the low end of the scale
after the ignition switch is turned to the Off position.
The instrument cluster circuitry controls the gauge
needle position and provides the following features:
• Message Failure - If the cluster fails to receive
a speedometer message, it will hold the gauge needle
at the last indication for about four seconds, or until
the ignition switch is turned to the Off position,
whichever occurs first. If a new speedometer message
is not received after about four seconds, the gauge
needle will return to the far left (low) end of the
scale.
• Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put
through the actuator test, the gauge needle will be
swept to several calibration points on the gauge scale
in a prescribed sequence in order to confirm the functionality of the gauge and the cluster control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the vehicle speed
sensor to determine the vehicle road speed, then
sends the proper vehicle speed messages to the
instrument cluster. For further diagnosis of the
speedometer or the instrument cluster circuitry that
controls the gauge, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/INSTRUMENT CLUSTER - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). For proper diagnosis of the vehicle speed
sensor, the PCM, the CCD data bus, or the message
inputs to the instrument cluster that control the
speedometer, a DRBIIIt scan tool is required. Refer
to the appropriate diagnostic information.

TACHOMETER
DESCRIPTION
A tachometer is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. The tachometer is located just to the
left of the speedometer near the center of the instrument cluster. The tachometer consists of a movable
gauge needle or pointer controlled by the instrument
cluster circuitry and a fixed 210 degree scale on the
gauge dial face that reads left-to-right either from 0
to 6 for gasoline engines, or from 0 to 4 for diesel
engines. The text “RPM X 1000” imprinted on the
cluster overlay directly below the hub of the tachometer needle identifies that each number on the
tachometer scale is to be multiplied times 1000 rpm.
The gauge scale of the gasoline engine tachometer is
red lined at 5000 rpm, while the diesel engine
tachometer is red lined at 3375 rpm. The diesel
engine tachometer also includes text that specifies
“DIESEL FUEL ONLY” located just above the hub of
the tachometer needle. The tachometer graphics are
white and red against a black field, making them
clearly visible within the instrument cluster in daylight. When illuminated from behind by the panel
lamps dimmer controlled cluster illumination lighting
with the exterior lamps turned On, the white graphics appear blue-green, while the red graphics still
appear red. The orange gauge needle is internally
illuminated. Gauge illumination is provided by
replaceable incandescent bulb and bulb holder units
located on the instrument cluster electronic circuit
board. The tachometer is serviced as a unit with the
instrument cluster.

OPERATION
The tachometer gives an indication to the vehicle
operator of the engine speed. This gauge is controlled
by the instrument cluster circuit board based upon
the cluster programming and electronic messages
received by the cluster from the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM) over the Chrysler Collision Detection
(CCD) data bus. The tachometer is an air core magnetic unit that receives battery current on the instrument cluster electronic circuit board through the
fused ignition switch output (st-run) circuit whenever
the ignition switch is in the On or Start positions.
The cluster is programmed to move the gauge needle
back to the low end of the scale after the ignition
switch is turned to the Off position. The instrument
cluster circuitry controls the gauge needle position
and provides the following features:
• Message Failure - If the cluster fails to receive
an engine speed message, it will hold the gauge needle at the last indication for about four seconds, or
until the ignition switch is turned to the Off position,
whichever occurs first. If a new engine speed mes-

sage is not received after about four seconds, the
gauge needle will return to the far left (low) end of
the scale.
• Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put
through the actuator test, the gauge needle will be
swept to several calibration points on the gauge scale
in a prescribed sequence in order to confirm the functionality of the gauge and the cluster control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the crankshaft position sensor to determine the engine speed, then
sends the proper engine speed messages to the
instrument cluster. For further diagnosis of the
tachometer or the instrument cluster circuitry that
controls the gauge, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/INSTRUMENT CLUSTER - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). For proper diagnosis of the crankshaft position
sensor, the PCM, the CCD data bus, or the message
inputs to the instrument cluster that control the
tachometer, a DRBIIIt scan tool is required. Refer to
the appropriate diagnostic information.

TRANS OVERTEMP
INDICATOR
DESCRIPTION
A transmission over-temperature indicator lamp is
standard equipment on all instrument clusters. However, on vehicles not equipped with the optional automatic transmission, this indicator is electronically
disabled. The transmission over-temperature indicator is located near the lower edge of the instrument
cluster overlay, to the left of center. The transmission
over-temperature indicator consists of a stencilled
cutout of the words “TRANS TEMP” in the opaque
layer of the instrument cluster overlay. The dark
outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from
being clearly visible when it is not illuminated. A red
lens behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the
overlay causes the “TRANS TEMP” text to appear in
red through the translucent outer layer of the overlay when the indicator is illuminated from behind by
a Light Emitting Diode (LED) soldered onto the
instrument cluster electronic circuit board. The
transmission over-temperature indicator is serviced
as a unit with the instrument cluster.

OPERATION
The transmission over-temperature indicator gives
an indication to the vehicle operator when the transmission fluid temperature is excessive, which may
lead to accelerated transmission component wear or
failure. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on
the instrument cluster circuit board based upon the
cluster programming and electronic messages

received by the cluster from the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM) over the Chrysler Collision Detection
(CCD) data bus. The transmission over-temperature
indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) receives battery current on the instrument cluster electronic circuit board through the fused ignition switch output
(st-run) circuit whenever the ignition switch is in the
On or Start positions; therefore, the LED will always
be off when the ignition switch is in any position
except On or Start. The LED only illuminates when
it is provided a path to ground by the instrument
cluster transistor. The instrument cluster will turn
on the transmission over-temperature indicator for
the following reasons:
• Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch is
turned to the On position the transmission over-temperature indicator is illuminated for about two seconds as a bulb test.
• Trans Over-Temp Lamp-On Message - Each
time the cluster receives a trans over-temp lamp-on
message from the PCM indicating that the transmission fluid temperature is 135° C (275° F) or higher,
the indicator will be illuminated and a single chime
tone is sounded. The lamp remains illuminated until
the cluster receives a trans over-temp lamp-off message from the PCM, or until the ignition switch is
turned to the Off position, whichever occurs first.
The chime tone feature will only repeat during the
same ignition cycle if the transmission over-temperature indicator is cycled off and then on again by the
appropriate trans over-temp messages from the PCM.
• Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put
through the actuator test, the indicator will be
turned on during the bulb check portion of the test to
confirm the functionality of the LED and the cluster
control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the transmission
temperature sensor to determine the transmission
operating condition, then sends the proper messages
to the instrument cluster. If the instrument cluster
turns on the transmission over-temperature indicator
due to a high transmission oil temperature condition,
it may indicate that the transmission and/or the
transmission cooling system are being overloaded or
that they require service. For further diagnosis of the
transmission over-temperature indicator or the
instrument cluster circuitry that controls the LED,
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/INSTRUMENT CLUSTER - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). For proper
diagnosis of the transmission temperature sensor, the
PCM, the CCD data bus, or the message inputs to
the instrument cluster that control the transmission
over-temperature indicator, a DRBIIIt scan tool is
required. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER

TURN SIGNAL INDICATOR
DESCRIPTION
Two turn signal indicators are standard equipment
on all instrument clusters. The turn signal indicators
are located near the upper edge of the instrument
cluster overlay, between the speedometer and the
tachometer. Each turn signal indicator consists of a
stenciled cutout of the International Control and Display Symbol icon for “Turn Warning” in the opaque
layer of the instrument cluster overlay. The dark
outer layer of the overlay prevents these icons from
being clearly visible when their lamps are not illuminated. The icons appear in green through the translucent outer layer of the overlay when the indicator
is illuminated from behind by a replaceable incandescent bulb and bulb holder unit located on the instrument cluster electronic circuit board. The turn signal
indicators are serviced as a unit with the instrument
cluster.

OPERATION
The turn signal indicators give an indication to the
vehicle operator that the turn signal (left or right
indicator flashing) or hazard warning (both left and
right indicators flashing) have been selected. These
indicators are controlled by two individual hard
wired inputs to the instrument cluster electronic circuit board. The turn signal indicator bulbs are
grounded on the instrument cluster electronic circuit
board at all times. The turn signal indicator bulbs
only illuminate when they are provided with battery
current by the turn signal and hazard warning
switch circuitry of the left multi-function switch on
the steering column through separate left and right
turn signal inputs to the instrument cluster; therefore, these indicators can be illuminated, regardless
of the ignition switch position.
The turn signal indicators are connected in series
between ground and the output of the turn signal
and hazard warning switch circuitry, but in parallel
with the other turn signal circuits. This arrangement
allows the turn signal indicators to remain functional
regardless of the condition of the other circuits in the
turn signal and hazard warning system. For more
information on the turn signal and hazard warning
system, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/LAMPS/LIGHTING - EXTERIOR - OPERATION - TURN SIGNAL &
HAZARD WARNING SYSTEM). The turn signal
indicators can be diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and methods.

BR/BE

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - TURN SIGNAL
INDICATOR
The diagnosis found here addresses an inoperative
turn signal indicator lamp condition. If the problem
being diagnosed is related to inoperative turn signals
or hazard warning lamps, be certain to repair the
turn signal and hazard warning system before
attempting to diagnose or repair the turn signal indicators. If no turn signal or hazard warning system
problems are found, the following procedure will help
locate a short or open in the left or right turn signal
indicator circuit. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information. The wiring information includes wiring
diagrams, proper wire and connector repair procedures, details of wire harness routing and retention,
connector pin-out information and location views for
the various wire harness connectors, splices and
grounds.
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable. Remove the instrument cluster.
(2) Connect the battery negative cable. Activate
the hazard warning system by moving the hazard
warning switch button to the On position. Check for
battery voltage at the inoperative (right or left) turn
signal circuit cavity of the instrument panel wire
harness connector (Connector C2) for the instrument
cluster. There should be a switching (on and off) battery voltage signal. If OK, replace the faulty turn signal indicator bulb. If not OK, repair the open (right
or left) turn signal circuit to the left multi-function
switch as required.

UPSHIFT INDICATOR
DESCRIPTION
An upshift indicator is standard equipment on all
instrument clusters. However, on vehicles not
equipped with a manual transmission, this indicator
is disabled. The upshift indicator is located near the
fuel gauge in the instrument cluster overlay, to the
left of center. The upshift indicator consists of an
upward pointed arrow icon that is a stenciled cutout
in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster overlay.
The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated. An amber lens behind the cutout in the
opaque layer of the overlay causes the icon to appear
in amber through the translucent outer layer of the
overlay when the indicator is illuminated from
behind by a replaceable incandescent bulb and bulb
holder unit located on the instrument cluster electronic circuit board. The upshift indicator is serviced
as a unit with the instrument cluster.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER

BR/BE

8J - 33

UPSHIFT INDICATOR (Continued)

OPERATION
The upshift indicator gives an indication to the
vehicle operator when the transmission should be
shifted to the next highest gear in order to achieve
the best fuel economy. This indicator is controlled by
a transistor on the instrument cluster circuit board
based upon the cluster programming and electronic
messages received by the cluster from the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) over the Chrysler Collision
Detection (CCD) data bus. The upshift indicator bulb
receives battery current on the instrument cluster
electronic circuit board through the fused ignition
switch output (st-run) circuit whenever the ignition
switch is in the On or Start positions; therefore, the
lamp will always be off when the ignition switch is in
any position except On or Start. The bulb only illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the
instrument cluster transistor. On models not
equipped with a manual transmission, the incandescent bulb and bulb holder unit are not installed at
the factory when the vehicle is built. The instrument
cluster will turn on the upshift indicator for the following reasons:
• Upshift Lamp-On Message - Each time the
cluster receives an upshift lamp-on message from the
PCM indicating the engine speed and load conditions
are right for a transmission upshift to occur, the
upshift indicator is illuminated. The indicator
remains illuminated until the cluster receives an
upshift lamp-off message from the PCM or until the
ignition switch is turned to the Off position, whichever occurs first. The PCM will normally send an
upshift lamp-off message three to five seconds after a
lamp-on message, if an upshift is not performed. The
indicator will then remain off until the vehicle stops
accelerating and is brought back into the range of
indicator operation, or until the transmission is
shifted into another gear.
• Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put
through the actuator test, the indicator will be
turned on during the bulb check portion of the test to
confirm the functionality of the indicator and the
cluster control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the engine speed
and load conditions to determine the proper fuel and
ignition requirements. The PCM then sends the
proper messages to the instrument cluster. If the
upshift indicator fails to light during normal vehicle
operation, replace the bulb with a known good unit.
For further diagnosis of the upshift indicator or the
instrument cluster circuitry that controls the indicator, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/INSTRUMENT
CLUSTER - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). For
proper diagnosis of the PCM, the CCD data bus, or
the message inputs to the instrument cluster that
control the upshift indicator, a DRBIIIt scan tool is

required. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

VOLTAGE GAUGE
DESCRIPTION
A voltage gauge is standard equipment on all
instrument clusters. The voltage gauge is located in
the upper left quadrant of the instrument cluster,
above the temperature gauge. The voltage gauge consists of a movable gauge needle or pointer controlled
by the instrument cluster circuitry and a fixed 90
degree scale on the cluster overlay that reads left-toright from 8 volts to 18 volts. An International Control and Display Symbol icon for “Battery Charging
Condition” is located directly below the lowest graduation of the gauge scale. The voltage gauge graphics
are white against a black field except for a single red
graduation at each end of the gauge scale, making
them clearly visible within the instrument cluster in
daylight. When illuminated from behind by the panel
lamps dimmer controlled cluster illumination lighting
with the exterior lamps turned On, the white graphics appear blue-green and the red graphics appear
red. The orange gauge needle is internally illuminated. Gauge illumination is provided by replaceable
incandescent bulb and bulb holder units located on
the instrument cluster electronic circuit board. The
voltage gauge is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

OPERATION
The voltage gauge gives an indication to the vehicle operator of the electrical system voltage. This
gauge is controlled by the instrument cluster circuit
board based upon the cluster programming and electronic messages received by the cluster from the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) over the Chrysler
Collision Detection (CCD) data bus. The voltage
gauge is an air core magnetic unit that receives battery current on the instrument cluster electronic circuit board through the fused ignition switch output
(st-run) circuit whenever the ignition switch is in the
On or Start positions. The cluster is programmed to
move the gauge needle back to the low end of the
scale after the ignition switch is turned to the Off
position. The instrument cluster circuitry controls
the gauge needle position and provides the following
features:
• Charge Fail Message - Each time the cluster
receives a message from the PCM indicating a charge
fail condition (system voltage is 10.8 volts or lower),
the gauge needle is moved to the 8 volt graduation
on the gauge scale and the check gauges indicator is
illuminated. The gauge needle remains on the 8 volt

8J - 34

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER

BR/BE

VOLTAGE GAUGE (Continued)
graduation and the check gauges indicator remains
illuminated until the cluster receives a message from
the PCM indicating there is no charge fail condition
(system voltage is 10.9 volts or higher, but lower
than 16.7 volts), or until the ignition switch is turned
to the Off position, whichever occurs first. On models
equipped with the optional diesel engine, the instrument cluster is programmed to support the voltmeter
gauge needle above the low end of normal graduation
and suppress the check gauges indicator operation
until ten seconds after the engine intake manifold air
heater has completed its cycle.
• Voltage High Message - Each time the cluster
receives a message from the PCM indicating a voltage high condition (system voltage is 16.7 volts or
higher), the gauge needle is moved to the 18 volt
graduation on the gauge scale and the check gauges
indicator is illuminated. The gauge needle remains
on the 18 volt graduation and the check gauges indicator remains illuminated until the cluster receives a
message from the PCM indicating there is no voltage
high condition (system voltage is 16.6 volts or lower,
but higher than 10.9 volts), or until the ignition
switch is turned to the Off position, whichever occurs
first.
• Message Failure - If the cluster fails to receive
a system voltage message, it will hold the gauge needle at the last indication until a new message is
received, or until the ignition switch is turned to the
Off position, whichever occurs first.
• Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put
through the actuator test, the gauge needle will be
swept to several calibration points on the gauge scale
in a prescribed sequence in order to confirm the functionality of the gauge and the cluster control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the system voltage
to control the generator output. The PCM then sends
the proper system voltage messages to the instrument cluster. For further diagnosis of the voltage
gauge or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the gauge, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/INSTRUMENT CLUSTER - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). If
the instrument cluster turns on the check gauges
indicator due to a charge fail or voltage high condition, it may indicate that the charging system
requires service. For proper diagnosis of the charging
system, the CCD data bus, or the message inputs to
the instrument cluster that control the voltage
gauge, a DRBIIIt scan tool is required. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.

WAIT-TO-START INDICATOR
DESCRIPTION
A wait-to-start indicator is standard equipment on
all instrument clusters, but is only functional in vehicles equipped with an optional diesel engine. The
wait-to-start indicator is located near the lower edge
of the instrument cluster overlay, to the right of center. The wait-to-start indicator consists of a stenciled
cutout of the text “WAIT TO START” in the opaque
layer of the cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of
the overlay prevents the indicator from being clearly
visible when it is not illuminated. A red lens located
behind the cutout causes the “WAIT TO START” text
to appear in red through the translucent outer layer
of the overlay when the indicator is illuminated from
behind by a Light Emitting Diode (LED) that is soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit
board. The wait-to-start indicator is serviced as a
unit with the instrument cluster.

OPERATION
The wait-to-start indicator gives an indication to
the vehicle operator when the diesel engine intake
air heater is energized in its preheat operating mode.
This indicator is controlled by a hard wired input to
the instrument cluster from the Engine Control Module (ECM). The wait-to-start indicator Light Emitting
Diode (LED) receives battery current on the instrument cluster electronic circuit board through the
fused ignition switch output (st-run) circuit whenever
the ignition switch is in the On or Start positions;
therefore, the lamp will always be off when the ignition switch is in any position except On or Start. The
indicator LED only illuminates when it is switched to
ground by the input from the ECM. The ECM will
turn on the wait-to-start indicator by pulling the
wait-to-start indicator driver circuit to ground each
time the ignition switch is turned to the On or Start
positions. The indicator then remains illuminated
until the ECM detects that the air within the intake
manifold is the proper temperature to ensure reliable
and efficient engine starting, until the ECM detects
that the engine is running, or until the ignition
switch is turned to the Off position, whichever occurs
first.
The ECM continually monitors the intake manifold
air temperature sensor, the Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor, and many other vehicle conditions to determine when the wait-to-start indicator
should be illuminated. For proper diagnosis of the
wait-to-start indicator, the ECM, or the inputs the
ECM uses to control the wait-to-start indicator operation, a DRBIIIt scan tool is required. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.

WASHER FLUID INDICATOR
DESCRIPTION
A washer fluid indicator is standard equipment on
all instrument clusters. The washer fluid indicator is
located near the lower edge of the instrument cluster
overlay, to the right of center. The washer fluid indicator consists of a stenciled cutout of the words
“LOW WASHER” in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the
overlay prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated. An amber lens behind
the cutout in the opaque layer of the overlay causes
the “LOW WASHER” text to appear in amber
through the translucent outer layer of the overlay
when it is illuminated from behind by a Light Emitting Diode (LED) soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board. The washer fluid
indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument
cluster.

OPERATION
The washer fluid indicator gives an indication to
the vehicle operator when the fluid level in the
washer fluid reservoir is low. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument cluster electronic circuit board based upon cluster programming
and a hard wired washer fluid level switch input to
the cluster. The washer fluid indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) receives battery current on the
instrument cluster electronic circuit board through
the fused ignition switch output (st-run) circuit
whenever the ignition switch is in the On or Start
positions; therefore, the indicator will always be off
when the ignition switch is in any position except On
or Start. The LED only illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster
transistor. The instrument cluster will turn on the
washer fluid indicator for the following reasons:
• Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch is
turned to the On position the indicator is illuminated
for about two seconds as a bulb test.
• Washer Fluid Level Switch Input - Immediately after the bulb test, if the cluster senses ground
on the washer fluid switch sense circuit for more
than about thirty seconds, it turns on the washer
fluid indicator. Any time after the bulb test, the cluster must sense ground on the washer fluid switch
sense circuit for more than about sixty seconds before
it turns on the indicator. Once illuminated, the indicator will remain illuminated until the ignition
switch is cycled and the cluster senses an open circuit on the low washer fluid sense input. This strategy is intended to reduce the effect that fluid
sloshing within the washer reservoir can have on
reliable indicator operation.

• Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put
through the actuator test, the indicator will be
turned on during the bulb check portion of the test to
confirm the functionality of the LED and the cluster
control circuitry.
The washer fluid level switch is connected in series
between ground and the washer fluid switch sense
input to the instrument cluster. For more information on the washer fluid level switch,(Refer to 8 ELECTRICAL/WIPERS/WASHERS/WASHER FLUID
LEVEL SWITCH - OPERATION). For further diagnosis of the washer fluid indicator or the instrument
cluster circuitry that controls the indicator, (Refer to
8 - ELECTRICAL/INSTRUMENT CLUSTER - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). The washer fluid level
switch input to the cluster can be diagnosed using
conventional diagnostic tools and methods.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WASHER FLUID
INDICATOR
The diagnosis found here addresses an inoperative
washer fluid indicator condition. If the problem being
diagnosed is related to indicator accuracy, be certain
to confirm that the problem is with the indicator or
washer fluid level switch input and not with a damaged or empty washer fluid reservoir, or inoperative
instrument cluster indicator control circuitry. Inspect
the washer fluid reservoir for proper fluid level and
signs of damage or distortion that could affect
washer fluid level switch performance and perform
the instrument cluster actuator test before you proceed with the following diagnosis. If no washer fluid
reservoir or instrument cluster control circuitry problem is found, the following procedure will help to
locate a short or open in the washer fluid switch
sense circuit. Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector repair procedures,
details of wire harness routing and retention, connector pin-out information and location views for the
various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.

WATER-IN-FUEL INDICATOR
DESCRIPTION
A water-in-fuel indicator is standard equipment on
all instrument clusters, but is only functional in vehicles equipped with an optional diesel engine. The
water-in-fuel indicator is located near the lower edge
of the instrument cluster overlay, to the left of center.
The water-in-fuel indicator consists of a stencilled
cutout of the text “WATER IN FUEL” in the opaque
layer of the instrument cluster overlay. The dark
outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from
being clearly visible when it is not illuminated. A red

lens located behind the cutout causes the “WATER
IN FUEL” text to appear in red through the translucent outer layer of the overlay when the indicator is
illuminated from behind by a Light Emitting Diode
(LED) soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic
circuit board. The water-in-fuel indicator is serviced
as a unit with the instrument cluster.

OPERATION
The water-in-fuel indicator gives an indication to
the vehicle operator when the water accumulated in
the diesel engine fuel filter/separator filter bowl
requires draining. This indicator is controlled by a
transistor on the instrument cluster circuit board
based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received by the cluster from the Engine Control
Module (ECM) over the Chrysler Collision Detection
(CCD) data bus. The water-in-fuel indicator Light
Emitting Diode (LED) receives battery current on the
instrument cluster electronic circuit board through
the fused ignition switch output (st-run) circuit
whenever the ignition switch is in the On or Start
positions; therefore, the indicator will always be off
when the ignition switch is in any position except On
or Start. The LED only illuminates when it is
switched to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The instrument cluster will turn on the water-infuel indicator for the following reasons:
• Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch is
turned to the On position the indicator is illuminated
for about two seconds as a bulb test.
• Water-In-Fuel Lamp-On Message - Each time
the cluster receives a water-in-fuel lamp-on message
from the ECM, the indicator will be illuminated. The
indicator remains illuminated until the cluster
receives a water-in-fuel lamp-off message from the
ECM or until the ignition switch is turned to the Off
position, whichever occurs first.
• Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put
through the actuator test, the indicator will be
turned on during the bulb check portion of the test to
confirm the functionality of the LED and the cluster
control circuitry.
The ECM continually monitors the water-in-fuel
sensor, then sends the proper messages to the instrument cluster. For further diagnosis of the water-infuel indicator or the instrument cluster circuitry that
controls the indicator, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/INSTRUMENT CLUSTER - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). For proper diagnosis of the water-in-fuel
sensor, the ECM, the CCD data bus, or the message
inputs to the instrument cluster that control the
water-in-fuel indicator, a DRBIIIt scan tool is
required. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic
information.

LAMPS/LIGHTING - EXTERIOR
DESCRIPTION - TURN SIGNAL & HAZARD
WARNING SYSTEM
A turn signal and hazard warning system is standard factory-installed safety equipment on this
model. The turn signal and hazard warning system
includes the following major components, which are
described in further detail elsewhere in this service
information:
• Combination Flasher - The electronic combination flasher is installed in the Junction Block (JB),
which is located behind the fuse access panel on the
left outboard end of the instrument panel.
• Hazard Warning Switch - The hazard warning
switch is integral to the multi-function switch on the
left side of the steering column. The hazard warning
switch button protrudes from a dedicated opening in
the shroud on the top of the steering column, just
below the steering wheel.
• Turn Signal Cancel Cam - The turn signal
cancel cam is integral to the clockspring, which is
located beneath the steering column shrouds at the
top of the steering column, just below the steering
wheel.
• Turn Signal Indicators - The two turn signal
indicators, one right and one left, are integral to the
ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC)
located in the instrument panel.
• Turn Signal Lamps - The front turn signal
lamps are integral to the lower front outboard ends
of the headlamp modules, located just outboard of the
two sides of the radiator grille opening. The rear
turn signal lamps are integral to the taillamp modules located on either side of the vehicle. For pickup
models the taillamp modules are secured to the rear
of the quarter panels at each side of the tailgate

opening. For cab and chassis models the taillamp
modules are secured by a stamped steel bracket on
the outboard side of each frame rail near the rear of
the vehicle.
• Turn Signal Switch - The turn signal switch is
integral to the multi-function switch on the left side
of the steering column. The multi-function switch
control stalk that actuates the turn signal switch
protrudes from a dedicated opening in the steering
column shrouds on the left side of the column, just
below the steering wheel.
Hard wired circuitry connects the turn signal and
hazard warning system components to each other
through the electrical system of the vehicle. These
hard wired circuits are integral to several wire harnesses, which are routed throughout the vehicle and
retained by many different methods. These circuits
may be connected to each other, to the vehicle electrical system and to the turn signal and hazard
warning system components through the use of a
combination of soldered splices, splice block connectors and many different types of wire harness terminal connectors and insulators. Refer to the
appropriate wiring information. The wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector repair procedures, details of wire harness
routing and retention, connector pin-out information
and location views for the various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.

OPERATION - TURN SIGNAL & HAZARD
WARNING SYSTEM
The turn signal system operates on battery current
received on a fused ignition switch output (run-acc)
circuit so that the turn signals will only operate with
the ignition switch in the On or Accessory positions.
The hazard warning system operates on non-

BR/BE

LAMPS/LIGHTING - EXTERIOR

8L - 3

LAMPS/LIGHTING - EXTERIOR (Continued)
switched battery current received on a fused B(+) circuit so that the hazard warning remains operational
regardless of the ignition switch position. When the
turn signal (multi-function) switch control stalk is
moved up (right turn) or down (left turn), the turn
signal system is activated. When the turn signal system is activated, the circuitry of the turn signal
switch and the combination flasher will cause the
selected (right or left) turn signal indicator, front
park/turn signal lamp, and rear tail/stop/turn signal
lamp to flash on and off. With the hazard warning
(multi-function) switch in the On position, the hazard
warning system is activated. When the hazard warning system is activated, the circuitry of the hazard
warning switch and the combination flasher will
cause both the right side and the left side turn signal
indicators, front park/turn signal lamps, and rear
tail/stop/turn signal lamps to flash on and off.
Refer to the owner’s manual in the vehicle glove
box for more information on the features, use and
operation of the turn signal and hazard warning system.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - TURN SIGNAL &
HAZARD WARNING SYSTEM
When diagnosing the turn signal and hazard warning circuits, remember that high generator output
can burn out bulbs rapidly and repeatedly. If this is a
problem on the vehicle being diagnosed, be certain to
diagnose and repair the charging system as required.
If the problem being diagnosed is related to a failure
of the turn signals to automatically cancel following
completion of a turn, inspect the multi-function
switch for a faulty or damaged cancel actuator and
inspect the turn signal cancel cam on the clockspring
for damaged lobes or improper installation. Refer to
the appropriate wiring information. The wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and
connector repair procedures, details of wire harness
routing and retention, connector pin-out information
and location views for the various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.
WARNING: ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIRBAGS, DISABLE THE AIRBAG SYSTEM BEFORE
ATTEMPTING ANY STEERING WHEEL, STEERING
COLUMN, OR INSTRUMENT PANEL COMPONENT
DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. DISCONNECT AND ISOLATE THE BATTERY NEGATIVE (GROUND) CABLE,
THEN WAIT TWO MINUTES FOR THE AIRBAG SYSTEM CAPACITOR TO DISCHARGE BEFORE PERFORMING FURTHER DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. THIS

The brake lamp switch is used for the brake lamp,
speed control brake sensor circuits and electronic
brake distribution (EBD). The brake lamp circuit is
open until the plunger is depressed. The speed control and brake sensor circuits are closed until the
plunger is depressed.
When the brake light switch is activated, the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) receives an input indicating that the brakes are being applied. After
receiving this input, the PCM maintains idle speed to
a scheduled rpm through control of the Idle Air Control (IAC) motor. The brake switch input is also used
to disable vent and vacuum solenoid output signals
to the speed control servo.
Vehicles equipped with the speed control option use
a dual function brake lamp switch. The PCM monitors the state of the dual function brake lamp switch.
Refer to the Brake section for more information on
brake lamp switch service and adjustment procedures.

LAMPS/LIGHTING - EXTERIOR

BR/BE

BRAKE LAMP SWITCH (Continued)
The brake switch is equipped with three sets of
contacts, one normally open and the other two normally closed (brakes disengaged). The PCM sends a
12 volt signal to one of the normally closed contacts
in the brake switch, which is returned to the PCM as
a brake switch state signal. With the contacts closed,
the 12 volt signal is pulled to ground causing the signal to go low. The low voltage signal, monitored by
the PCM, indicates that the brakes are not applied.
When the brakes are applied, the contacts open,
causing the PCM’s output brake signal to go high,
disengaging the speed control, cutting off PCM power
to the speed control solenoids.
The second set of normally closed contacts supplies
12 volts from the PCM any time speed control is
turned on. Through the brake switch, current is
routed to the speed control servo solenoids. The
speed control solenoids (vacuum, vent and dump) are
provided this current any time the speed control is
ON and the brakes are disengaged.
When the driver applies the brakes, the contacts
open and current is interrupted to the solenoids. The
normally open contacts are fed battery voltage. When
the brakes are applied, battery voltage is supplied to
the brake lamps.

DESCRIPTION

(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Remove screws holding clearance lamp lens to
roof panel (Fig. 5).
(3) Rotate socket 1/4 turn counterclockwise and
separate socket from lamp.

The combination flasher is located in the Junction
Block (JB) behind the fuse access panel on the left
outboard end of the instrument panel. The combination flasher is a smart relay that functions as both
the turn signal system and the hazard warning system flasher. The combination flasher contains active
electronic Integrated Circuitry (IC) elements. This
flasher is designed to handle the current flow
requirements of the factory-installed lighting. If supplemental lighting is added to the turn signal lamp
circuits, such as when towing a trailer with lights,
the combination flasher will automatically try to
compensate to keep the flash rate the same.
The combination flasher has five blade-type terminals that connect it to the vehicle electrical system
through five matching cavities in the receptacle of
the JB. While the combination flasher has a International Standards Organization (ISO)-type relay terminal configuration or footprint, the internal
circuitry is much different. The combination flasher
does not use standard ISO-relay inputs or provide
ISO-relay type outputs or functions. The combination
flasher should never be substituted for an ISO-relay
or replaced with an ISO-relay, or else component and
vehicle damage may occur.
The combination flasher cannot be repaired or
adjusted and, if faulty or damaged, it must be
replaced.

(4) Connect the battery negative cable.

OPERATION
The combination flasher has five blade-type terminals intended for the following inputs and outputs:
fused B(+), fused ignition switch output, ground, turn
signal circuit, and hazard warning circuit. Constant
battery voltage and ground are supplied to the
flasher so that it can perform the hazard warning
function, and ignition switched battery voltage is
supplied for the turn signal function.

LAMPS/LIGHTING - EXTERIOR

COMBINATION FLASHER (Continued)
The Integrated Circuitry (IC) within the combination flasher (Fig. 6) contains the logic that controls
the flasher operation and the flash rate. Pin 6 of the
IC receives a sense voltage from the hazard warning
circuit of the multi-function switch. When the hazard
warning switch is turned on, the 9hazard on sense9
voltage will become low due to the circuit being
grounded through the turn signal bulbs. This low
voltage sense signals the IC to energize the flash control Positive-Negative-Positive (PNP) transistor at a
pre-calibrated flash rate or frequency. Each time the
PNP transistor energizes the hazard warning circuit,
the pin 6 9hazard on sense9 voltage will become high
and the IC signals the PNP transistor to de-energize
the circuit. This cycling will continue until the hazard warning switch is turned off.

A special design feature of the combination flasher
allows it to 9sense9 that a turn signal circuit or bulb
is not operating, and provide the driver an indication
of the condition by flashing the remaining bulbs in
the affected circuit at a higher rate (120 flashes-perminute or higher). Conventional flashers either continue flashing at their typical rate (heavy-duty type),
or discontinue flashing the affected circuit entirely
(standard-duty type). During turn signal operation,
the combination flasher IC compares normal battery
voltage input on pin 2 with the shunt resistor voltage
input on pin 7. If the IC 9senses9 that the voltage difference between pin 2 and pin 7 is different than the
pre-calibrated value of the IC, it will increase the
rate at which it signals the PNP transistor to energize the pin 1 output. Thus, the inoperative half (left
or right side) of the turn signal circuit will flash
faster.
Because of the active electronic elements within
the combination flasher, it cannot be tested with conventional automotive electrical test equipment. If the
combination flasher is believed to be faulty, test the
turn signal system and hazard warning system. Then
replace the combination flasher with a known good
unit to confirm system operation. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/LAMPS/LIGHTING - EXTERIOR/TURN
SIGNAL & HAZARD WARNING SYSTEM - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).

REMOVAL

Fig. 6 Combination Flasher - Typical
Likewise, pin 8 of the IC receives a sense voltage
from the turn signal circuits of the multi-function
switch. When the left or right turn signal switch is
turned on, the 9turn signal on sense9 voltage will
become low due to the circuit being grounded
through the turn signal bulbs. This low voltage sense
signals the IC to energize the flash control PNP transistor at a pre-calibrated flash rate or frequency.
Each time the PNP transistor energizes the turn signal circuit, the pin 8 9turn signal on sense9 voltage
will become high and the IC signals the PNP transistor to de-energize the circuit. This cycling will continue until the right or left turn signal switch is
turned off.

HEADLAMP RELAY
DESCRIPTION

Fig. 14 Power Distribution Center
1 - COVER
2 - POWER DISTRIBUTION CENTER

The headlamp (or security) relay is located in the
Power Distribution Center (PDC) near the battery in
the engine compartment (Fig. 14). See the fuse and
relay layout label affixed to the inside surface of the
PDC cover for headlamp relay identification and location. The headlamp relay is a conventional International Standards Organization (ISO) micro relay.
Relays conforming to the ISO specifications have
common physical dimensions, current capacities, terminal patterns, and terminal functions. The relay is
contained within a small, rectangular, molded plastic
housing. The relay is connected to all of the required
inputs and outputs through its PDC receptacle by
five male spade-type terminals that extend from the
bottom of the relay base. The ISO designation for
each terminal is molded into the base adjacent to the
terminal. The ISO terminal designations are as follows:
• 30 (Common Feed) - This terminal is connected to the movable contact point of the relay.
• 85 (Coil Ground) - This terminal is connected
to the ground feed side of the relay control coil.
• 86 (Coil Battery) - This terminal is connected
to the battery feed side of the relay control coil.
• 87 (Normally Open) - This terminal is connected to the normally open fixed contact point of the
relay.
• 87A (Normally Closed) - This terminal is connected to the normally closed fixed contact point of
the relay.
The headlamp relay cannot be adjusted or
repaired. If the relay is damaged or faulty, it must be
replaced.

8L - 17

OPERATION
The headlamp (or security) relay is an electromechanical switch that uses a low current input from
the high-line or premium Central Timer Module
(CTM) to control a high current output to the headlamps. The movable common feed contact point is
held against the fixed normally closed contact point
by spring pressure. When the relay coil is energized,
an electromagnetic field is produced by the coil windings. This electromagnetic field draws the movable
relay contact point away from the fixed normally
closed contact point, and holds it against the fixed
normally open contact point. When the relay coil is
de-energized, spring pressure returns the movable
contact point back against the fixed normally closed
contact point. A resistor or diode is connected in parallel with the relay coil in the relay, and helps to dissipate
voltage
spikes
and
electromagnetic
interference that can be generated as the electromagnetic field of the relay coil collapses.
The headlamp relay terminals are connected to the
vehicle electrical system through a connector receptacle in the Power Distribution Center (PDC). The
inputs and outputs of the headlamp relay include:
• The common feed terminal (30) is connected to
ground at all times through a take out and eyelet
terminal connector of the right headlamp and dash
wire harness that is secured by a ground screw to
the left fender inner shield near the PDC in the
engine compartment.
• The coil ground terminal (85) is connected to the
Central Timer Module (CTM) through the security
relay control circuit. The CTM energizes the headlamp relay control coil by internally pulling this circuit to ground.
• The coil battery terminal (86) is connected to
battery current at all times through a fused B(+) circuit that is internal to the PDC.
• The normally open terminal (87) is connected to
the headlamps at all times through the beam select
switch low beam output circuit. This circuit provides
a path to ground for the headlamps through the common feed terminal when the headlamp relay control
coil is energized by the CTM.
• The normally closed terminal (87A) is not connected to any circuit in this application, but is
grounded through the common feed terminal when
the headlamp relay control coil is de-energized.
The headlamp relay can be diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and methods.

WINDSHIELD WASHER BUTTON
CONTROL STALK
HAZARD WARNING BUTTON
WINDSHIELD WIPER CONTROL
MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH

The multi-function switch is secured with two
screws to the left side of the upper steering column
housing at the top of the steering column, just below
the steering wheel (Fig. 24). The only visible parts of
the multi-function switch are the control stalk that
extends through a dedicated opening in the left side
of the upper steering column shrouds, and the hazard warning switch push button that protrudes
through an opening in the upper steering column
shroud on the top of the steering column. The
remainder of the switch, its mounting provisions, and
its electrical connections are all concealed beneath
the steering column shrouds. The multi-function
switch control stalk has both nomenclature and
International Control and Display Symbol graphics
applied to it, which identify its many functions. An
International Control and Display Symbol icon for
“Hazard Warning” is applied to the top of the hazard
warning switch push button.
The switch housing and its controls are constructed
of molded black plastic. A single connector receptacle
with up to twenty-four terminals is located on the
back of the switch housing and connects the switch
to the vehicle electrical system through a take out
and connector of the instrument panel wire harness.
The connector receptacle also has a threaded receptacle for a screw, which secures the wire harness connector to the switch connector receptacle.
The multi-function switch supports the following
functions and features:

8L - 24

LAMPS/LIGHTING - EXTERIOR

BR/BE

MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH (Continued)
• Continuous Wipe Modes - The control knob of
the multi-function switch provides two continuous
wipe switch positions, low speed or high speed.
• Hazard Warning Control - The internal circuitry and hardware of the multi-function switch provide detent switching for activation and deactivation
of the hazard warning system.
• Headlamp Beam Selection - The internal circuitry and hardware of the multi-function switch provide detent switching for selection of the headlamp
high or low beams.
• Headlamp Optical Horn - The internal circuitry and hardware of the multi-function switch
includes momentary switching of the headlamp high
beam circuits to provide an optical horn feature
(sometimes referred to as flash-to-pass), which allows
the vehicle operator to momentarily flash the headlamp high beams as an optical signalling device.
• Intermittent Wipe Mode - The control knob of
the multi-function switch provides an intermittent
wipe mode with multiple delay interval positions.
• Turn Signal Control - The internal circuitry
and hardware of the multi-function switch provide
both momentary non-detent switching and detent
switching with automatic cancellation for both the
left and right turn signals.
• Washer Mode - A button on the end of the control stalk of the multi-function switch provides
washer system operation when the button is
depressed towards the steering column.
The multi-function switch cannot be adjusted or
repaired. If any function of the switch is faulty, or if
the switch is damaged, the entire switch unit must
be replaced.

OPERATION
The multi-function switch uses conventionally
switched outputs and a variable resistor to control
the many functions and features it provides using
hard wired circuitry. The switch is grounded at all
times through a single wire take out with an eyelet
terminal connector of the instrument panel wire harness that is secured by a nut to a ground stud
located on the instrument panel armature, just above
and to the left of the glove box opening. When the
ignition switch is in the Accessory or On positions,
battery current from a fuse in the Junction Block
(JB) is provided through a fused ignition switch output (run-acc) circuit. Following are descriptions of
how the multi-function switch operates to control the
many functions and features it provides:

• Continuous Wipe Modes - When the control
knob of the multi-function switch is rotated to the
High or Low positions, the circuitry within the
switch provides a battery current output directly to
the high or low speed brush of the wiper motor.
When the control knob is in the Off position, the circuitry within the switch connects the output of the
wiper motor park switch to the low speed brush of
the wiper motor.
• Hazard Warning Control - The hazard warning push button is pushed down to unlatch the
switch and activate the hazard warning system, and
pushed down again to latch the switch and turn the
system off. When the hazard warning switch is
latched (hazard warning off), the push button will be
in a lowered position on the top of the steering column shroud; and, when the hazard warning switch is
unlatched (hazard warning on), the push button will
be in a raised position. The multi-function switch
hazard warning circuitry simultaneously provides a
signal to the hazard warning sense of the combination flasher to activate or deactivate the flasher output, and directs the output of the flasher to the
hazard warning lamps.
• Headlamp Beam Selection - The multi-function switch control stalk is pulled towards the steering wheel past a detent, then released to actuate the
headlamp beam selection switch. Each time the control stalk is actuated in this manner, the opposite
headlamp mode from what is currently selected will
be activated. The internal circuitry of the headlamp
beam selection switch directs the output of the headlamp switch through hard wired circuitry to activate
the selected headlamp beam.
• Headlamp Optical Horn - The left multi-function switch control stalk is pulled towards the steering wheel to just before a detent, to momentarily
activate the headlamp high beams. The high beams
will remain illuminated until the control stalk is
released. The internal circuitry of the headlamp
beam selection switch provides a momentary ground
path to the headlamp high beams.
• Intermittent Wipe Mode - When the multifunction switch control knob is rotated to the Delay
position, the circuitry within the switch connects the
output of the wiper motor relay to the low speed
brush of the wiper motor and provides a battery current signal to the Central Timer Module (CTM). If
the Delay mode is selected, the control knob can then
be rotated to multiple minor detent positions, which
actuates a variable resistor within the switch and
provides a hard wired output to the CTM that signals the desired delay interval for the intermittent
wiper feature.

BR/BE

LAMPS/LIGHTING - EXTERIOR

8L - 25

MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH (Continued)
• Turn Signal Control - The multi-function
switch control stalk actuates the turn signal switch.
When the control stalk is moved in the upward direction, the right turn signal circuitry is activated; and,
when the control stalk is moved in the downward
direction, the left turn signal circuitry is activated.
The multi-function switch turn signal circuitry simultaneously provides a signal to the turn signal sense
of the combination flasher to activate or deactivate
the flasher output, and directs the output of the
flasher to the proper turn signal lamps. The turn signal switch has a detent position in each direction
that provides turn signals with automatic cancellation, and an intermediate, momentary position in
each direction that provides turn signals only until
the multi-function switch control stalk is released.
When the control stalk is moved to a turn signal
switch detent position, the cancel actuator extends
toward the center of the steering column. A turn signal cancel cam that is integral to the clockspring
mechanism rotates with the steering wheel and the
cam lobes contact the cancel actuator when it is
extended from the multi-function switch. When the
steering wheel is rotated during a turning maneuver,
one of the two turn signal cancel cam lobes will contact the turn signal cancel actuator. The cancel
actuator latches against the cancel cam rotation in
the direction opposite that which is signaled. In other
words, if the left turn signal detent is selected, the
lobes of the cancel cam will ratchet past the cancel
actuator when the steering wheel is rotated to the
left, but will unlatch the cancel actuator as the steering wheel rotates to the right and returns to center,
which will cancel the turn signal event and release
the control stalk from the detent so it returns to the
neutral Off position.
• Washer Mode - Pushing the button on the end
of the multi-function switch control knob towards the
steering column provides a battery current output
through the momentary single pole, single throw
washer switch circuitry to operate the washer pump/
motor and provides a signal to the CTM. If the wipers are not operating when the washer switch is
actuated, the CTM will operate the wiper motor for
as long as the washer switch is depressed plus about
three additional wipe cycles. If the wipers are operating in the intermittent mode when the washer
switch is actuated, the CTM will operate the wiper
motor at a fixed low speed for as long as the washer
switch is depressed plus about three additional wipe
cycles before the wipers return to the selected intermittent wipe interval.

the Ram Truck. One type is integrated into the
pick-up bed, The other is a bracket mounted module
used on the Ram Truck Cab and Chassis. The Cab
and Chassis module is made up of a housing, lens,
and two bulbs. This type of module has license plate
illumination built into the lens. The integrated pick
up module contains a housing, lens, and two bulbs. A
dual filament bulb is used for tail, stop, and turn signal operations. A separate bulb is used for back-up
illumination.

OPERATION
Tail lamp functions are controlled by the headlamp
switch. Turn signal operations are controlled by the
multifunction switch. Stop lamp functions are controlled by the stoplamp switch. The back-up lamps
are controlled by the back-up lamp switch on the
transmission.

OPERATION
The turn signal cancel cam has two lobes molded
into the lower surface of the clockspring rotor. When
the turn signals are activated by moving the multifunction switch control stalk to a detent position, a
turn signal cancel actuator is extended from the
inside surface of the multi-function switch housing
toward the center of the steering column and the
turn signal cancel cam. When the steering wheel is
rotated during a turning maneuver, one of the two
turn signal cancel cam lobes will contact the turn signal cancel actuator. The cancel actuator latches
against the cancel cam rotation in the direction opposite that which is signaled. In other words, if the left
turn signal detent is selected, the lobes of the cancel
cam will ratchet past the cancel actuator when the
steering wheel is rotated to the left, but will unlatch
the cancel actuator as the steering wheel rotates to
the right and returns to center, which will cancel the
turn signal event and release the control stalk from
the detent so it returns to the neutral Off position.

TURN SIGNAL CANCEL CAM
DESCRIPTION
The turn signal cancel cam is concealed within the
steering column below the steering wheel. The turn
signal cancel cam consists of two lobes that are integral to the lower surface of the clockspring rotor. The
clockspring mechanism provides turn signal cancellation as well as a constant electrical connection
between the horn switch, driver airbag, speed control
switches, and remote radio switches on the steering
wheel and the instrument panel wire harness on the
steering column. The housing of the clockspring is
secured to the steering column and remains stationary. The rotor of the clockspring, including the turn
signal cancel cam lobes rotate with the steering
wheel.
The turn signal cancel cam is serviced as a unit
with the clockspring and cannot be repaired. If faulty
or damaged, the entire clockspring unit must be
replaced. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/RESTRAINTS/
CLOCKSPRING - REMOVAL).

READING LAMP
DESCRIPTION
The overhead console in this vehicle is equipped
with two individual reading and courtesy lamps. The
lamp lenses are the only visible components of these
lamps. The reading and courtesy lamp lenses are
mounted in the overhead console housing between
the garage door opener storage bin and the sunglasses storage bin. Each lamp has its own switch,
bulb, reflector and lens; but both lamps share a common lamp housing within the overhead console.
The overhead console reading and courtesy lamps
operate on battery current that is provided at all
times, regardless of the ignition switch position. The
ground feed for the lamps is switched through the
integral reading and courtesy lamp switches or
through the door jamb switches. Each lamp is
designed and aimed to provide illumination that will
be directed only to that side of the vehicle on which
the lamp is located.

The reading and courtesy lamp lenses, bulbs and
the lamp housing and reflector unit are available for
service replacement. The reading and courtesy lamp
switches, bulb holders and wiring are only available
as part of the overhead console wire harness. If
either of the lamp switches or bulb holders is faulty
or damaged, the entire overhead console wire harness assembly must be replaced.
For service of the reading and courtesy lamp bulbs,
refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper
wire and connector repair procedures, details of wire
harness routing and retention, connector pin-out
information and location views for the various wire
harness connectors, splices and grounds.

OPERATION
All reading and courtesy lamps located in the overhead console are activated by the door jamb switches.
When all of the doors are closed, these lamps can be
individually activated by depressing the corresponding lens. When any door is open, depressing the lamp
lenses to activate the lamp switches will not turn the
lamps off.
See the owner’s manual in the vehicle glove box for
more information on the use and operation of the
overhead console reading and courtesy lamps.

REMOVAL

The sunglasses storage bin is opened by pressing
the latch on the rear edge of the door towards the
front of the vehicle, then pulling the bin downward to
the open position. The integral latch on the sunglasses bin door will automatically engage when the
bin is closed. See the owner’s manual in the vehicle
glove box for more information on the use and operation of the sunglasses storage bin.

COMPASS
While in the compass/temperature mode, the compass will display the direction in which the vehicle is
pointed using the eight major compass headings
(Examples: north is N, northeast is NE), along with
the outside ambient temperature. When the compass
unit is placed in the compass/compass in degrees
mode, the compass will display the direction the
vehicle is heading using the eight major compass
headings and in degrees (0 to 359 degrees). North is
0 degrees, East is 90 degrees, South is 180 degrees
and West is 270 degrees. It will not display the headings in minutes or seconds.
The self-calibrating compass unit requires no
adjusting in normal use. The compass unit will compensate for magnetism the body of the vehicle may
acquire during normal use. However, avoid placing
anything magnetic directly on the roof of the vehicle.
Magnetic mounts for an antenna, a repair order hat,
or a funeral procession flag can exceed the compensating ability of the compass unit if placed on the
roof panel. If the vehicle roof should become magnetized, the demagnetizing and calibration procedures
found in this group may be required to restore proper
compass operation.

THERMOMETER
The thermometer displays the outside ambient
temperature in whole degrees. The temperature display can be changed from Fahrenheit to Celsius

8M - 4

using the U.S./Metric push button. The displayed
temperature is not an instant reading of conditions,
but an average temperature. It may take the thermometer display several minutes to respond to a
major temperature change, such as driving out of a
heated garage into winter temperatures.
When the ignition switch is turned to the Off position, the last displayed temperature reading stays in
the thermometer unit memory. When the ignition
switch is turned to the On position again, the thermometer will display the memory temperature if the
engine coolant temperature is above about 43° C
(109° F). If the engine coolant temperature is below
about 43° C (109° F), the thermometer will display
the actual temperature sensed by the ambient temperature sensor. The thermometer temperature display update interval varies with the vehicle speed;
therefore, if the temperature reading seems inaccurate, drive the vehicle for at least three minutes
while maintaining a speed of 48 kilometers-per-hour
(30 miles-per-hour) or higher.
The thermometer function is supported by an
ambient temperature sensor. The sensor is mounted
outside the passenger compartment near the front
and center of the vehicle, and is hard wired to the
module. The ambient temperature sensor is available
as a separate service item.

STANDARD PROCEDURE
STANDARD PROCEDURE - COMPASS
CALIBRATION
CAUTION: Do not place any external magnets, such
as magnetic roof mount antennas, in the vicinity of
the compass. Do not use magnetic tools when servicing the overhead console.
The electronic compass unit features a self-calibrating design, which simplifies the calibration procedure. This feature automatically updates the
compass calibration while the vehicle is being driven.
This allows the compass unit to compensate for small
changes in the residual magnetism that the vehicle
may acquire during normal use. If the compass readings appear to be erratic or out of calibration, perform the following calibration procedure. Also, new
service replacement compass mini-trip computer
modules must have their compass calibrated using
this procedure. Do not attempt to calibrate the compass near large metal objects such as other vehicles,
large buildings, or bridges; or, near overhead or
underground power lines.
(1) Start the engine. If the compass/temperature
data is not currently being displayed, momentarily
depress and release the Step push button to step

through the display options until you have reached
the compass/temperature display.
(2) Depress both the U.S./Metric and the Step
push buttons at the same time for more than six seconds, until “CAL” appears in the display, then release
both push buttons. The “CAL” in the display indicates that the compass is in the calibration mode.
(3) Drive the vehicle on a level surface, at least
fifty feet away from large metal objects and power
lines, in all four compass directions, such as driving
around a city block several times or driving in two to
three complete circles at a slow to medium speed.
(4) When the calibration is successfully completed,
“CAL” will disappear from the display and normal
compass mini-trip computer operation will resume.
NOTE: If the “CAL” message remains in the display,
either there is excessive magnetism near the compass, or the unit is faulty. Repeat the calibration
procedure at least one more time.
NOTE: If the wrong direction is still indicated in the
compass display, the area selected for calibration
may be too close to a strong magnetic field. Repeat
the calibration procedure in another location.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - COMPASS
VARIATION ADJUSTMENT
Compass variance, also known as magnetic declination, is the difference in angle between magnetic
north and true geographic north. In some geographic
locations, the difference between magnetic and geographic north is great enough to cause the compass
to give false readings. If this problem occurs, the
compass variance must be set. There are two methods that can be used to enter this information into
the compass mini-trip computer module. They are
the zone method and the direct method.

ZONE METHOD
(1) Using the Variance Settings map, find your
geographic location and note the zone number (Fig.
2).
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the On position. If
the compass/temperature data is not currently being
displayed, momentarily depress and release the Step
push button to step through the display options until
you have reached the compass/temperature display.
(3) Depress both the U.S./Metric and the Step
push buttons at the same time and hold them down
for more than 100 milliseconds, but not more than
one second. The compass mini-trip computer will
enter the variation adjustment mode and “VAR”
along with the current variance zone will appear in
the display.

(4) Momentarily depress and release the Step push
button to step through the zone numbers, until the
zone number for your geographic location appears in
the display.
(5) After five seconds, the displayed zone will automatically be set in the compass mini-trip computer
module memory and normal operation will resume.
(6) Confirm that the correct directions are now
indicated by the compass.

DIRECT METHOD
(1) Turn the vehicle so it is headed in either the
north or south direction. The vehicle must be headed
within 45 degrees of north or south for this procedure
to work. The vehicle may be moving or stationary.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the On position. If
the compass/temperature data is not currently being
displayed, momentarily depress and release the Step
push button to step through the display options until
you have reached the compass/temperature display.
(3) Depress both the U.S./Metric and the Step
push buttons at the same time and hold them down
for more than 100 milliseconds, but not more than
one second. The compass mini-trip computer will
enter the variation adjustment mode and “VAR”
along with the current variance zone will appear in
the display.
(4) Within the next five seconds, momentarily
depress and release the U.S./Metric push button. The
variance zone will automatically be set in the com-

pass mini-trip computer module memory and normal
operation will resume.
(5) If the “VAR” in the display flashes twice before
the compass mini-trip computer module resumes normal operation, the new variance zone setting was not
accepted. Reorient the vehicle so it is headed within
45 degrees of north or south and repeat this procedure.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - COMPASS
DEMAGNETIZING
A degaussing tool (Special Tool 6029) is used to
demagnetize, or degauss, the overhead console forward mounting screw and the roof panel above the
overhead console. Equivalent units must be rated as
continuous duty for 110/115 volts and 60 Hz. They
must also have a field strength of over 350 gauss at 7
millimeters (0.25 inch) beyond the tip of the probe.
To demagnetize the roof panel and the overhead
console forward mounting screw, proceed as follows:
(1) Be certain that the ignition switch is in the Off
position, before you begin the demagnetizing procedure.
(2) Connect the degaussing tool to an electrical

COMPASS/MINI-TRIP
COMPUTER
DESCRIPTION
The compass mini-trip computer is located in the
premium overhead console on models equipped with
this option. Two compass mini-trip computer units
are available. One unit is used on vehicles not
equipped with the Vehicle Theft Security System
(VTSS) option, and the other is used on vehicles with
the VTSS option. Both compass mini-trip computer
units include the electronic control module, a Vacuum-Fluorescent Display (VFD), a compass flux-gate
unit and two push button function switches.
Compass mini-trip computer units for vehicles
equipped with the VTSS include a red Light-Emitting Diode (LED) on their electronic circuit board.
This LED protrudes through the bottom of the lens
on the front of the overhead console unit, and serves
as the security indicator lamp. Refer to Security
Indicator Lamp in Vehicle Theft/Security Systems
for more information on this feature.
The compass mini-trip computer module contains a
central processing unit and interfaces with other
electronic modules in the vehicle on the Chrysler Collision Detection (CCD) data bus network. The CCD
data bus network allows the sharing of sensor information. This helps to reduce wire harness complexity,
reduce internal controller hardware, and reduce component sensor current loads. At the same time, this

system provides increased reliability, enhanced diagnostics, and allows the addition of many new feature
capabilities.
The compass mini-trip computer provides several
electronic functions and features. Some of the functions and features that the compass mini-trip computer module supports and/or controls, include the
following display options:
• Compass and temperature - provides the outside temperature and one of eight compass readings
to indicate the direction the vehicle is facing.
• Compass and compass in degrees - provides
one of eight compass readings to indicate the direction the vehicle is facing and provides the compass
direction in degrees.
• Trip odometer (ODO) - shows the distance
travelled since the last trip computer reset.
• Average fuel economy (AVG ECO) - shows
the average fuel economy since the last trip computer
reset.
• Instant fuel economy (ECO) - shows the
present fuel economy based upon the current vehicle
distance and fuel used information.
• Distance to empty (DTE) - shows the estimated distance that can be travelled with the fuel
remaining in the fuel tank. This estimated distance
is computed using the average miles-per-gallon from
the last 30 gallons of fuel used.
• Elapsed time (ET) - shows the accumulated
ignition-on time since the last trip computer reset.
• Blank screen - the compass mini-trip VFD is
turned off.
The ambient temperature sensor is hard wired to
the compass mini-trip computer module. Data input
for all other compass mini-trip computer functions,
including VFD dimming level, is received through
CCD data bus messages. The compass mini-trip computer uses its internal programming and all of these
inputs to calculate and display the requested data. If
the data displayed is incorrect, perform the self-diagnostic tests as described in this group. If these tests
prove inconclusive, the use of a DRBIIIt scan tool
and the proper Diagnostic Procedures manual are
recommended for further testing of the compass
mini-trip computer module and the CCD data bus.
The compass mini-trip computer module cannot be
repaired, and is available for service only as a unit. If
faulty or damaged, the complete module must be
replaced.

OPERATION
The compass mini-trip computer only operates with
the ignition switch in the On position. When the ignition switch is turned to the On position, all of the
segments in the compass mini-trip computer VFD
will be turned on for one second, then the display

8M - 10

MESSAGE SYSTEMS

BR/BE

COMPASS/MINI-TRIP COMPUTER (Continued)
will return to the last function being displayed before
the ignition was turned to the Off position. With the
ignition switch in the On position, momentarily
depressing and releasing the Step push button switch
will cause the compass-mini-trip computer to change
its mode of operation, and momentarily depressing
and releasing the U.S./Metric push button will cause
the unit to toggle between U.S. and Metric measurements. While in either compass mode, depressing the
U.S./Metric push button for more than ten seconds
will toggle the display between the compass/temperature and the compass/compass in degrees modes.
This compass mini-trip computer features several
functions that can be reset. If both the Step and U.S./
Metric push buttons are depressed at the same time
with the ignition switch in the On position, the trip
computer information that can be reset is reset.
Depressing and releasing the Step and U.S./Metric
push buttons at the same time for more than 100
milliseconds, but not more than one second while in
any display mode (except the compass/temperature
mode) will cause a local reset. A local reset affects
only the function currently displayed. See the Reset
Chart below for more information on this feature.
Performing a local reset while in the compass/temperature mode enters the module into the compass
variance setting mode.
Depressing and releasing the Step and U.S./Metric
push buttons at the same time for more than two
seconds while in any display mode (except the compass/temperature mode) will cause a global reset. A
global reset changes all of the trip computer functions that can be reset.
For more information on the features and control
functions of the compass mini-trip computer, see the
owner’s manual in the vehicle glove box.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - COMPASS

the compass mini-trip computer module is incorrect
Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) dimming levels,
use a DRBt scan tool and the proper Diagnostic Procedures manual to test for the correct dimming message inputs being received from the instrument
cluster over the Chrysler Collision Detection (CCD)
data bus. If the problem is a no-display condition,

use the following procedures. For complete circuit
diagrams, refer to Overhead Console in the Contents of Wiring Diagrams.
(1) Check the fused B(+) fuse in the junction block.
If OK, go to Step 2. If not OK, repair the shorted circuit or component as required and replace the faulty
fuse.
(2) Check for battery voltage at the fused B(+) fuse
in the junction block. If OK, go to Step 3. If not OK,
repair the open fused B(+) circuit to the battery as
required.
(3) Check the fused ignition switch output (run/
start) fuse in the junction block. If OK, go to Step 4.
If not OK, repair the shorted circuit or component as
required and replace the faulty fuse.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the On position.
Check for battery voltage at the fused ignition switch
output (run/start) fuse in the junction block. If OK,
go to Step 5. If not OK, repair the open fused ignition
switch output (run/start) circuit to the ignition switch
as required.
(5) Turn the ignition switch to the Off position.
Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
Remove the overhead console. Check for continuity
between the ground circuit cavities of the roof wire
harness connector for the overhead console and a
good ground. There should be continuity. If OK, go to
Step 6. If not OK, repair the open ground circuit to
ground as required.
(6) Connect the battery negative cable. Check for
battery voltage at the fused B(+) circuit cavity of the
roof wire harness connector for the overhead console.
If OK, go to Step 7. If not OK, repair the open fused
B(+) circuit to the junction block fuse as required.
(7) Turn the ignition switch to the On position.
Check for battery voltage at the fused ignition switch
output (run/start) circuit cavity of the roof wire harness connector for the overhead console. If OK, refer
to Self-Diagnostic Test in the Diagnosis and Testing section of this group for further diagnosis of the
compass mini-trip computer module and the CCD
data bus. If not OK, repair the open fused ignition
switch output (run/start) circuit to the junction block
fuse as required.

CMTC SELF-DIAGNOSTIC TEST
A self-diagnostic test is used to determine that the
compass mini-trip computer module is operating
properly electrically. Initiate the self-diagnostic test
as follows:
(1) With the ignition switch in the Off position,
simultaneously depress and hold the Step button and
the U.S./Metric button.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the On position.

display segment test. In this test, all of the Vacuum
Fluorescent Display (VFD) segments are lighted
while the compass mini-trip computer module performs the following checks:
• Microprocessor RAM read/write test
• Non-volatile memory read/write test
• Microprocessor ROM verification test
• CCD communications test.
(4) Following completion of these tests, the compass mini-trip computer will display one of three
messages: “PASS,” “FAIL,” or “CCd.” Respond to the
respective test results as follows:
• If the “PASS” message is displayed, but compass
mini-trip computer operation is still improper, the
use of a DRB scan tool and the proper Diagnostic
Procedures manual are required for further diagnosis.
• If the “FAIL” message is displayed, the compass
mini-trip computer module is faulty and must be
replaced.
• If the “CCd” message is displayed, the use of a
DRBt scan tool and the proper Diagnostic Procedures manual are required for further diagnosis.
• If any VFD segment should fail to light during
the display segment test, the compass mini-trip computer module is faulty and must be replaced.
(5) If all tests are passed, or if the ignition switch
is turned to the Off position, the compass mini-trip
computer module will automatically return to normal
operation.
NOTE: If the compass functions, but accuracy is
suspect, it may be necessary to perform a variation
adjustment. This procedure allows the compass
unit to accommodate variations in the earth’s magnetic field strength, based on geographic location.
Refer to Compass Variation Adjustment in the Service Procedures section of this group.
NOTE: If the compass reading has blanked out, and
only “CAL” appears in the display, demagnetizing
may be necessary to remove excessive residual
magnetic fields from the vehicle. Refer to Compass
Demagnetizing in the Service Procedures section of
this group.

AMBIENT TEMP SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
Ambient air temperature is monitored by the compass mini-trip computer module through the ambient
temperature sensor. The ambient temperature sensor
is a variable resistor mounted to a bracket that is
secured with a screw to the underside of the hood
panel near the hood latch striker in the engine compartment (Fig. 8).
For complete circuit diagrams, refer to Overhead
Console in the Contents of Wiring Diagrams. The
ambient temperature sensor cannot be adjusted or
repaired and, if faulty or damaged, it must be
replaced.

OPERATION
The ambient temperature sensor is a variable
resistor that operates on a five-volt reference signal
sent to it by the compass mini-trip computer module.
The resistance in the sensor changes as temperature
changes, changing the return circuit voltage to the
compass mini-trip computer module. Based upon the
resistance in the sensor, the compass mini-trip computer module senses a specific voltage on the return
circuit, which it is programmed to correspond to a
specific temperature.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - AMBIENT
TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The thermometer function is supported by the
ambient temperature sensor, a wiring circuit, and a
portion of the compass mini-trip computer module. If
any portion of the ambient temperature sensor circuit fails, the compass/thermometer display function
will self-diagnose the circuit. If 55° C (131° F)
appears in the display, the sensor is being exposed to
temperatures above 55° C (131° F), or the sensor circuit is shorted. If –40° C (–40° F) appears in the display, the sensor is being exposed to temperatures
below –40° C (–40° F), or the sensor circuit is open.
The ambient temperature sensor circuit can also be
diagnosed using the following Sensor Test, and Sensor Circuit Test. If the temperature sensor and circuit are confirmed to be OK, but the temperature
display is inoperative or incorrect, refer to Diagnosis
and Testing the Compass Mini-Trip Computer.
For complete circuit diagrams, refer to Wiring Diagrams.

SENSOR TEST
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the Off position.
Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
Disconnect the ambient temperature sensor wire harness connector.

BR/BE

(2) Measure the resistance of the ambient temperature sensor. At –40° C (–40° F), the sensor resistance is 336 kilohms. At 55° C (131° F), the sensor
resistance is 2.488 kilohms. The sensor resistance
should read between these two values. If OK, refer to
the Sensor Circuit Test below. If not OK, replace
the faulty ambient temperature sensor.

SENSOR CIRCUIT TEST
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the Off position.
Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
Disconnect the ambient temperature sensor wire harness connector and the overhead console wire harness connector.
(2) Connect a jumper wire between the two terminals in the body half of the ambient temperature sensor wire harness connector.
(3) Check for continuity between the sensor return
circuit and the ambient temperature sensor signal
circuit cavities of the roof wire harness overhead console connector. There should be continuity. If OK, go
to Step 4. If not OK, repair the open sensor return
circuit or ambient temperature sensor signal circuit
to the ambient temperature sensor as required.
(4) Remove the jumper wire from the body half of
the ambient temperature sensor wire harness connector. Check for continuity between the sensor
return circuit cavity of the roof wire harness overhead console connector and a good ground. There
should be no continuity. If OK, go to Step 5. If not
OK, repair the shorted sensor return circuit as
required.
(5) Check for continuity between the ambient temperature sensor signal circuit cavity of the roof wire
harness overhead console connector and a good
ground. There should be no continuity. If OK, refer to
Diagnosis and Testing the Compass Mini-Trip
Computer in this section. If not OK, repair the
shorted ambient temperature sensor signal circuit as
required.

REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Locate the ambient temperature sensor, on the
underside of the hood near the hood latch striker
(Fig. 8).
(3) Disconnect the wire harness connector from the
ambient temperature sensor connector receptacle.
(4) Remove the one screw that secures the ambient
temperature sensor bracket to the inner hood reinforcement.
(5) Remove the ambient temperature sensor from
the inner hood reinforcement.

over the operation of the power lock motors. On models with the optional RKE system, a high-line or premium version of the CTM is used to provide many
electronic features and conveniences that are not possible with the base version CTM. In this power lock
system, the power lock motors are controlled by the
microprocessor-based high-line or premium version of
the CTM based upon the CTM programming and
electronic message inputs received from other electronic modules in the vehicle over the Chrysler Collision Detection (CCD) data bus network, Radio
Frequency (RF) inputs received from the RKE transmitters, as well as many hard wired inputs.

8N - 2

POWER LOCKS

BR/BE

POWER LOCKS (Continued)
Both versions of the power lock system include the
following major components, which are described in
further detail elsewhere in this service manual:
• Power Lock Motors - A reversible electric
motor integral to the door latch of each front door
locks or unlocks the front door latch when provided
with the appropriate electrical inputs.
• Power Lock Switches - A power lock switch
integral to the power window/lock switch unit located
near the forward end of the arm rest on each front
door trim panel allows the power door lock system to
be operated by either the driver or the front seat passenger.
On those models equipped with the optional RKE
system, the power lock system also includes the following components, which are described in further
detail elsewhere in this service manual:
• Central Timer Module - The high-line or premium Central Timer Module (CTM) is located under
the driver side end of the instrument panel, inboard
of the instrument panel steering column opening.
The high-line or premium CTM contains a microprocessor and software that allow it to provide the many
electronic functions and features not available with
base version of the power lock system.
• Door Cylinder Lock Switches - A resistormultiplexed switch located on the back of each front
door lock cylinder allows the power door lock system
to be operated using a key inserted in either the
driver or passenger front door lock cylinder.
Some of the additional features of the power lock
system found in vehicles with the RKE system option
include:
• Automatic Door Lock - The high-line/premium
CTM provides an optional automatic door lock feature (also known as rolling door locks). This is a programmable feature.
• Central Locking - The high-line/premium CTM
provides an optional central locking/unlocking feature.
• Door Lock Inhibit - The high-line/premium
CTM provides a door lock inhibit feature.
• Enhanced Accident Response - The high-line/
premium CTM provides an optional enhanced accident response feature. This is a programmable
feature.
Hard wired circuitry connects the power lock system components to the electrical system of the vehicle. These hard wired circuits are integral to several
wire harnesses, which are routed throughout the
vehicle and retained by many different methods.
These circuits may be connected to each other, to the
vehicle electrical system and to the power lock system components through the use of a combination of
soldered splices, splice block connectors, and many
different types of wire harness terminal connectors

and insulators. Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector repair procedures,
further details on wire harness routing and retention, as well as pin-out and location views for the
various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.
Many of the electronic features in the vehicle controlled or supported by the high-line or premium versions of the CTM are programmable using the
DRBIIIt scan tool. In addition, the high-line/premium CTM software is Flash compatible, which
means it can be reprogrammed using Flash reprogramming procedures. However, if any of the CTM
hardware components are damaged or faulty, the
entire CTM unit must be replaced. The power lock
system components and the hard wired inputs or outputs of the CTM can be diagnosed using conventional
diagnostic tools and methods; however, for diagnosis
of the high-line or premium versions of the CTM or
the CCD data bus, the use of a DRBIIIt scan tool is
required. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

DESCRIPTION - REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY
SYSTEM
A Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system is an available option on this model. The Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) system is a Radio Frequency (RF) system that
allows the remote operation of the power lock system
and, if the vehicle is so equipped, the Vehicle Theft
Security System (VTSS). (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY - DESCRIPTION).
The RKE system includes the following major components, which are described in further detail elsewhere in this service manual:
• Central Timer Module - The high-line or premium Central Timer Module (CTM) is located under
the driver side end of the instrument panel, inboard
of the instrument panel steering column opening.
The high-line or premium CTM contains a microprocessor, an RF receiver, and the software that allow it
to provide the many electronic functions and features
of the RKE system.
• Keyless Entry Transmitter - The keyless
entry transmitter is a small, battery-powered, RF
transmitter that is contained within a molded plastic
case that is designed to also serve as a convenient
key fob.
Some additional features of the RKE system
include:
• Horn Chirp - This feature provides a short,
sharp chirp of the vehicle horn to give an audible
confirmation that a valid Lock signal has been
received from the RKE transmitter. This feature can
be enabled or disabled and, if enabled, one of two

BR/BE

POWER LOCKS

8N - 3

POWER LOCKS (Continued)
optional horn chirp durations (twenty or forty milliseconds) can also be selected.
• Illuminated Entry - This feature turns on the
courtesy lamps in the vehicle for a timed interval
(about thirty seconds) each time a valid Unlock signal has been received from the RKE transmitter.
• Panic Mode - This feature allows the vehicle
operator to cause the vehicle horn to pulse, the headlights to flash, and the courtesy lamps to illuminate
for about three minutes by depressing a Panic button
on the RKE transmitter. Pressing the Panic button a
second time will cancel the Panic mode. A vehicle
speed of about 24 kilometers-per-hour (15 miles-perhour) will also cancel the panic mode.

OPERATION
OPERATION - POWER LOCKS
All versions of the power lock system allow both
doors to be locked or unlocked electrically by operating the power lock switch on either front door trim
panel. On vehicles that are also equipped with the
optional Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system, both
doors may also be locked or unlocked using a key in
either front door lock cylinder, or by using the RKE
transmitter. On vehicles with the RKE system, if certain features have been electronically enabled, the
locks may also be operated automatically by the
high-line or premium Central Timer Module (CTM)
based upon various other inputs. Those features and
their inputs are:
• Automatic Door Lock - If enabled, the highline/premium CTM will automatically lock the doors
when it receives a message from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) indicating that the vehicle speed
is about 24 kilometers-per-hour (15 miles-per-hour)
or greater. The CTM also monitors the door ajar
switches, and will not activate the automatic door
lock feature until both doors have been closed for at
least five seconds. If this feature is enabled and a
door is opened after the vehicle is moving, the CTM
will also lock the doors five seconds after both doors
are closed.
• Central Locking - Vehicles equipped with a
high-line/premium CTM also have a resistor-multiplexed door cylinder lock switch mounted to the back
of the door lock cylinder within each front door. The
CTM continually monitors the input from these
switches to provide the central locking/unlocking feature. The CTM will automatically lock or unlock both
front doors when either front door is locked or
unlocked using a key.
• Door Lock Inhibit - The high-line/premium
CTM receives inputs from the key-in ignition switch,

the headlamp switch, and the door ajar switches. The
logic within the CTM allows it to monitor these
inputs to provide a door lock inhibit feature. The
door lock inhibit feature prevents the power lock system from being energized with a power lock switch
input if the driver door is open with the headlamps
on or the key still in the ignition switch. However,
the locks can still be operated with the manual door
lock button or with a key in the door lock cylinder,
and the power locks will still operate using the RKE
transmitter while the driver door is open with the
headlamps on or a key in the ignition.
• Enhanced Accident Response - If enabled,
the high-line/premium CTM provides an enhanced
accident response feature. This feature uses electronic message inputs received by the CTM from the
Airbag Control Module (ACM) to determine when an
airbag has been deployed. The CTM also monitors
the state of the power lock system and the vehicle
speed messages from the PCM in order to provide
this feature. If the airbag has been deployed and the
vehicle has stopped moving, the CTM will automatically unlock the doors, prevent the doors from being
locked, and turn on the courtesy lamps inside the
vehicle. Of course, these responses are dependent
upon a functional battery and electrical circuitry following the impact.
All versions of the power lock system operate on
battery current received through a fused B(+) circuit
from a fuse in the Junction Block (JB) so that the
system remains functional, regardless of the ignition
switch position. Also, in both versions of the power
lock system, each power lock switch receives battery
current independent of the other. In vehicles with the
base version of the power lock system, the driver side
power lock switch receives ground through the body
wire harness. A single wire take out of the body wire
harness with an eyelet terminal connector is secured
by a ground screw to the lower left B-pillar (regular
cab, extended cab) or lower left quarter inner panel
(quad cab). The passenger side power lock switch
receives ground through the driver side power lock
switch in the base version of the power lock system.
The base version power lock switches direct the
appropriate battery current and ground feeds to the
power lock motors. In the power lock system for vehicles with the RKE system, the power lock switches
direct a battery current Lock or Unlock request signal to the high-line or premium CTM, and the CTM
energizes internal relays to direct the appropriate
battery current and ground feeds to the power lock
motors.

POWER LOCKS (Continued)

OPERATION - REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY
SYSTEM
On vehicles with the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
system, the power locks can be operated remotely
using the RKE transmitter. If the vehicle is so
equipped, the RKE transmitter also arms and disarms the factory-installed Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS). Three small, recessed buttons on the
outside of the transmitter case labelled Lock, Unlock,
and Panic allow the user to choose the function that
is desired. The RKE transmitter then sends the
appropriate Radio Frequency (RF) signal. An RF
receiver that is integral to the high-line or premium
version of the Central Timer Module (CTM) receives
the transmitted signal, then uses its internal electronic programming to determine whether the
received signal is valid and what function has been
requested. If the signal is valid, the CTM provides
the programmed features.
Besides operating the power lock system and arming or disarming the VTSS, the RKE system also
controls the following features:
• Horn Chirp - If this feature is enabled, the
CTM provides a horn chirp by internally pulling the
control coil of the horn relay to ground through a
hard wired circuit output.
• Illuminated Entry - The CTM provides illuminated entry by internally controlling the current flow
to the courtesy lamps in the vehicle through a hard
wired output circuit.
• Panic Mode - The CTM provides the horn pulse
and headlight flash by internally pulling the control
coils of the horn relay and headlamp relay to ground
through hard wired circuit outputs. The CTM controls the current flow to the courtesy lamps in the
vehicle through a hard wired output circuit. The
CTM also monitors the vehicle speed through electronic messages it receives from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) over the Chrysler Collision
Detection (CCD) data bus network.
The RKE system operates on battery current
received through a fused B(+) circuit from a fuse in
the Junction Block (JB) so that the system remains
functional, regardless of the ignition switch position.
The RKE system can retain the vehicle access codes
of up to four RKE transmitters. The transmitter
codes are retained in RKE system memory, even if
the battery is disconnected. If a transmitter is faulty
or is lost, new transmitter vehicle access codes can be
programmed into the system using a DRBIIIt scan
tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
Many of the electronic features in the vehicle controlled or supported by the high-line or premium versions of the CTM are programmable using the
DRBIIIt scan tool. In addition, the high-line/premium CTM software is Flash compatible, which

means it can be reprogrammed using Flash reprogramming procedures. However, if any of the CTM
hardware components are damaged or faulty, the
entire CTM unit must be replaced. The hard wired
inputs or outputs of the CTM can be diagnosed using
conventional diagnostic tools and methods; however,
for diagnosis of the high-line or premium versions of
the CTM or the CCD data bus, the use of a DRBIIIt
scan tool is required. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - POWER LOCKS
The following tests provide a preliminary diagnosis
for the power lock system used only on vehicles
equipped with a base version of the Central Timer
Module (CTM). These tests do not apply to the diagnosis of the power lock system used on vehicles
equipped with the optional Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) system, which includes a high-line or premium
CTM. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER LOCKS DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - POWER LOCK &
REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM). Refer to the
appropriate wiring information. The wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector repair procedures, details of wire harness
routing and retention, connector pin-out information
and location views for the various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.
PRELIMINARY TESTS
To begin this test, note the system operation while
you actuate both the Lock and Unlock functions with
the power lock switches. Then, proceed as follows:
• If the entire power lock system fails to function
with both of the power lock switches, check the fused
B(+) fuse in the Junction Block (JB). If the fuse is
OK, check the ground circuit between the driver side
power lock switch and ground (G301). If the ground
circuit is OK, proceed to the diagnosis of the power
lock motors. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER
LOCKS/POWER LOCK MOTOR - DIAGNOSIS AND
TESTING).
• If the entire power lock system fails to function
with only one of the power lock switches, proceed to
diagnosis of the power lock switches. (Refer to 8 ELECTRICAL/POWER
LOCKS/POWER
LOCK
SWITCH - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
• If only one power lock motor fails to operate
with both power lock switches, proceed to diagnosis
of the power lock motor. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - POWER LOCK &
REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM
The following tests include a preliminary diagnosis
for the power lock system used only on vehicles
equipped with the optional Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) system, which includes a high-line or premium
Central Timer Module (CTM). These tests do not
apply to the diagnosis of the power lock system on
vehicles equipped with a base version of the CTM.
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER LOCKS - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - POWER LOCK SYSTEM).
These tests will help to diagnose the hard wired
components and circuits of the power lock system.
However, these tests may not prove conclusive in the
diagnosis of this system. In order to obtain conclusive
testing of the power lock and RKE system, the
Chrysler Collision Detection (CCD) data bus network
and all of the electronic modules that provide inputs
to, or receive outputs from the power lock and RKE
system components must be checked.
The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to
diagnose the power lock and RKE system requires
the use of a DRBIIIt scan tool. The DRBIIIt scan
tool can provide confirmation that the CCD data bus
is functional, that all of the electronic modules are
sending and receiving the proper messages on the
CCD data bus, that the CTM is receiving the proper
hard wired inputs, and that the power lock motors
are being sent the proper hard wired outputs by the
CTM.
Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The
wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper
wire and connector repair procedures, details of wire
harness routing and retention, connector pin-out
information and location views for the various wire
harness connectors, splices and grounds.
PRELIMINARY TESTS
To begin this test, note the system operation while
you actuate both the Lock and Unlock functions with
the power lock switches, the door cylinder lock
switches, and the RKE transmitter. Then, proceed as
follows:
• If the entire power lock system fails to function
with the power lock switches, the door cylinder lock
switches, or the RKE transmitter, check the fused
B(+) fuse in the Junction Block (JB). If the fuse is
OK, proceed to the diagnosis of the power lock
motors. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER LOCKS/
POWER LOCK MOTOR - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
• If the power lock system functions with both
power lock switches, and both door cylinder lock
switches, but not with the RKE transmitter, proceed
to the diagnosis of the transmitter. (Refer to 8 ELECTRICAL/POWER LOCKS/REMOTE KEYLESS

ENTRY TRANSMITTER - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
• If the entire power lock system functions with
the RKE transmitter, and both door cylinder lock
switches, but not with one or both of the power lock
switches, proceed to diagnosis of the power lock
switches. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER
LOCKS/POWER LOCK SWITCH - DIAGNOSIS AND
TESTING).
• If the entire power lock system functions with
the RKE transmitter, and both power lock switches,
but not with one or both of the door cylinder lock
switches, proceed to diagnosis of the door cylinder
lock switches. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER
LOCKS/DOOR CYLINDER LOCK SWITCH - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
• If one power lock motor fails to operate with
both of the power lock switches, both of the door cylinder lock switches and/or the RKE transmitter, proceed to diagnosis of the power lock motor. (Refer to 8
- ELECTRICAL/POWER LOCKS/POWER LOCK
MOTOR - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
If the problem being diagnosed is related to one or
more of the electronic features (automatic locks, door
lock inhibit, enhanced accident response, illuminated
entry, panic mode, or RKE horn chirp), further diagnosis should be performed using a DRBIIIt scan tool.
Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

DOOR CYLINDER LOCK
SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
A door cylinder lock switch is snapped onto the
back of the key lock cylinder inside each front door of
vehicles equipped with a high-line or premium Central Timer Module (CTM). The door cylinder lock
switch is a resistor multiplexed momentary switch
that is hard wired in series between a body ground
and the CTM through the front door wire harness.
The door cylinder lock switches are driven by the key
lock cylinders and contain three internal resistors.
One resistor is used for the neutral switch position,
one for the Lock position, and one for the Unlock
position.
The door cylinder lock switches cannot be adjusted
or repaired and, if faulty or damaged, they must be
replaced.

OPERATION
The door cylinder lock switches are actuated by the
key lock cylinder when the key is inserted in the lock
cylinder and turned to the lock or unlock positions.
The door cylinder lock switch closes a path to ground
through one of three internal resistors for the Cen-

tral Timer Module (CTM) when the front door key
lock cylinder is in the Lock, Unlock, or Neutral positions. The CTM reads the switch status through an
internal pull-up, then uses this information as an
input for both power lock system and Vehicle Theft
Security System (VTSS) operation.
The door cylinder lock switches and circuits can be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and
methods.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - DOOR CYLINDER

POWER LOCK MOTOR
DESCRIPTION
Models equipped with the optional power lock system have a power operated door locking mechanism
located within each front door. The lock mechanisms
are actuated by a reversible electric power lock motor
that is integral to the door latch unit within each
front door. A single short pigtail wire with a molded
plastic connector insulator connects the door lock
motor to the vehicle electrical system through a take
out and connector of each front door wire harness.
The power lock motors cannot be adjusted or
repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the entire door
latch unit must be replaced.

OPERATION
On models with a base version of the Central
Timer Module (CTM), the power lock motor is controlled by the battery and ground feeds from the
power lock switches. On models with the high-line or
premium versions of the CTM, the power lock motor
is controlled by the battery and ground feeds from
the power lock and unlock relays, which are integral
and internal to the high-line and premium versions
of the CTM. A positive and negative battery connection to the two motor terminals will cause the power
lock motor plunger to move in one direction. Reversing the current through these same two connections
will cause the power lock motor plunger to move in
the opposite direction.
The power lock motors and circuits can be tested
using conventional diagnostic tools and methods.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - POWER LOCK
MOTOR
On models with a base version of the Central
Timer Module (CTM), confirm proper power lock
switch operation before you proceed with this diagnosis. On models with a high-line or premium version
of the CTM, confirm proper power lock switch, power
lock switch output circuit, and CTM operation before
you proceed with this diagnosis. Remember, the
power lock switch controls the output to the power
lock motors on models with a base CTM, while the
CTM controls the output to the power lock motors on
models with a high-line or premium CTM. Refer to
the appropriate wiring information. The wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and
connector repair procedures, details of wire harness
routing and retention, connector pin-out information
and location views for the various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.
(1) Check each power lock motor for correct operation while moving the power lock switch to both the

8N - 7

Lock and Unlock positions. If both of the power lock
motors are inoperative, go to Step 2. If one power
lock motor is inoperative, go to Step 3.
(2) If both of the power lock motors are inoperative, the problem may be caused by one shorted
motor. Disconnecting a shorted power lock motor
from the power lock circuit will allow the good power
lock motors to operate. Disconnect the wire harness
connector from each power lock motor, one at a time,
and recheck both the lock and unlock functions by
operating the power lock switch. If both power lock
motors are still inoperative after the above test,
check for a short or open circuit between the power
lock motors and either the power lock switch (base
CTM) or the CTM (high-line or premium CTM). If
disconnecting one power lock motor causes the other
motor to become functional, go to Step 3 to test the
disconnected motor.
(3) Once it is determined which power lock motor
is inoperative, that motor can be tested as follows.
Disconnect the door wire harness connector from the
inoperative power lock motor. Apply 12 volts to the
lock and unlock driver circuit cavities of the power
lock motor pigtail wire connector to check its operation in one direction. Reverse the polarity to check
the motor operation in the opposite direction. If OK,
repair the shorted or open circuits between the power
lock motor and the power lock switch (base CTM) or
the CTM (high-line or premium CTM) as required. If
not OK, replace the faulty power lock motor.

REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY
TRANSMITTER
DESCRIPTION
The Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system Radio
Frequency (RF) transmitter is equipped with three
buttons, labeled Lock, Unlock, and Panic. It is also
equipped with a key ring and is designed to serve as
a key fob. The operating range of the transmitter
radio signal is up to 7 meters (23 feet) from the RKE
receiver. The RKE receiver is integral to the highline or premium Central Timer Module (CTM) in this
vehicle.
Each RKE transmitter has a different vehicle
access code, which must be programmed into the
memory of the RKE receiver in the vehicle in order
to operate the RKE system. The RKE receiver can
retain the access codes for up to four transmitters in
its memory. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER
LOCKS/REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY TRANSMITTER - STANDARD PROCEDURE - RKE TRANSMITTER PROGRAMMING).

8N - 8

POWER LOCKS

BR/BE

REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY TRANSMITTER (Continued)
The RKE transmitter operates on two Duracell
DL2016, Panasonic CR2016 (or equivalent) batteries.
Typical battery life is from one to two years. The
RKE transmitter cannot be repaired and, if faulty or
damaged, it must be replaced.

OPERATION
See the owner’s manual in the vehicle glove box for
more information on the features, use and operation
of the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitters.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - REMOTE KEYLESS
ENTRY TRANSMITTER
(1) Replace the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter batteries. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
POWER LOCKS/REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY
TRANSMITTER - STANDARD PROCEDURE - RKE
TRANSMITTER BATTERIES). Test each of the RKE
transmitter functions. If OK, discard the faulty batteries. If not OK, go to Step 2.
(2) Program the suspect RKE transmitter and
another known good transmitter into the RKE
receiver. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER
LOCKS/REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY TRANSMITTER - STANDARD PROCEDURE - RKE TRANSMITTER PROGRAMMING).
(3) Test the RKE system operation with both
transmitters. If both transmitters fail to operate the
power lock system, a DRBIIIt scan tool is required
for further diagnosis of the RKE system. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information. If the known
good RKE transmitter operates the power locks and
the suspect transmitter does not, replace the faulty
RKE transmitter.
NOTE: Be certain to perform the RKE Transmitter
Programming procedure again following this test.
This procedure will erase the access code of the
test transmitter from the RKE receiver.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - REMOTE KEYLESS
ENTRY TRANSMITTER BATTERIES
The Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter case
snaps open and shut for battery access. To replace
the RKE transmitter batteries:
(1) Using a trim stick or a thin coin, gently pry at
the notch in the center seam of the RKE transmitter
case halves located near the key ring until the two
halves unsnap.
(2) Lift the back half of the transmitter case off of
the RKE transmitter.
(3) Remove the two batteries from the RKE transmitter.
(4) Replace the two batteries with new Duracell
DL2016, or their equivalent. Be certain that the batteries are installed with their polarity correctly oriented.
(5) Align the two RKE transmitter case halves
with each other, and squeeze them firmly and evenly
together using hand pressure until they snap back
into place.

POWER LOCK SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The power lock system can be controlled by a twoway momentary switch integral to the power window
and lock switch and bezel unit on the trim panel of
each front door. Each power lock switch is illuminated by a Light-Emitting Diode (LED) that is integral to the switch paddle. The LED of each switch is
illuminated whenever the ignition switch is in the
On position.
The power lock switches and their LEDs cannot be
adjusted or repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the
entire power window and lock switch and bezel unit
must be replaced.

OPERATION
STANDARD PROCEDURE
STANDARD PROCEDURE - RKE TRANSMITTER
PROGRAMMING
To program the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter access codes into the RKE receiver in the
high-line or premium Central Timer Module (CTM)
requires the use of a DRBIIIt scan tool. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.

On models with a base version of the Central
Timer Module (CTM), the power lock switches are
hard-wired to the power lock motors. The power lock
switch provides the correct battery and ground feeds
to the power lock motors to lock or unlock the door
latches.
On models with a high-line or premium version of
the CTM, the power lock switch controls battery current signals to the lock and unlock sense inputs of
the CTM. The CTM then relays the correct battery
and ground feeds to the power lock motors to lock or
unlock the door latches.

operation of the automatic day/night mirror system.

DESCRIPTION
AUTOMATIC DAY / NIGHT MIRROR
The automatic day/night mirror system is able to
automatically change the reflectance of the inside
rear view mirror in order to reduce the glare of headlamps approaching the vehicle from the rear. The
automatic day/night rear view mirror receives battery current through a fuse in the junction block only
when the ignition switch is in the On position.

OUTSIDE REAR VIEW MIRROR
The heated mirror option includes an electric heating grid behind the mirror glass in each outside mirror, which can clear the mirror glass of ice, snow, or
fog. The heating grid receives fused battery current
through the heated mirror relay in the heater and air
conditioner control only when the ignition switch is
in the On position, and the heated mirror system is
turned on. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/HEATED

AUTOMATIC DAY / NIGHT
MIRROR
DESCRIPTION
The automatic day/night mirror uses a thin layer
of electrochromic material between two pieces of conductive glass to make up the face of the mirror.
When the mirror switch is in the On position, two
photocell sensors are used by the mirror circuitry to
monitor external light levels and adjust the reflectance of the mirror.

8N - 12

POWER MIRRORS

BR/BE

AUTOMATIC DAY / NIGHT MIRROR (Continued)

OPERATION
The ambient photocell sensor is located on the forward-facing (windshield side) of the rear view mirror
housing, and detects the ambient light levels outside
of the vehicle. The headlamp photocell sensor is
located inside the rear view mirror housing behind
the mirror glass and faces rearward, to detect the
level of the light being received at the rear window
side of the mirror. When the circuitry of the automatic day/night mirror detects that the difference
between the two light levels is too great (the light
level received at the rear of the mirror is much
higher than that at the front of the mirror), it begins
to darken the mirror.
The automatic day/night mirror circuitry also monitors the transmission using an input from the
backup lamp circuit. The mirror circuitry is programmed to automatically disable its self-dimming
feature whenever it senses that the transmission
backup lamp circuit is energized.
The automatic day/night mirror is a completely
self-contained unit and cannot be repaired. If faulty
or damaged, the entire mirror assembly must be
replaced.

POWER SEAT SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
The power seat system option allows the driver (or
passenger on SLT Plus with power seats) to electrically adjust the seat position for optimum control and
comfort using the power seat switches located on the
outboard seat cushion side shield. The power seat
system allows the seating position to be adjusted forward, rearward, front up, front down, rear up, or
rear down. The power seat system receives battery
current through a fuse in the Power Distribution
Center and a circuit breaker in the junction block,
regardless of the ignition switch position.
The quad cab models equipped with the power seat
option also feature a power operated lumbar support
in the seat back. The power lumbar support allows
the user to inflate or deflate a bladder located in the
lower seat back to achieve optimum comfort and support in the lower lumbar region of the spinal column.
The power lumbar support shares the battery feed
circuit of the power seat system.
The power seat system includes the power seat
adjuster and motors unit, the power lumbar support
bladder and electric pump (quad cab only), the power
seat switch, and the circuit breaker. Following are
general descriptions of the major components in the
power seat system. Refer to Heated Seat System

for information on the individually controlled heated
front seats. Refer to the owner’s manual in the vehicle glove box for more information on the features,
use and operation of the power seat system.

OPERATION
The power seat system allows the driver and/or
front passenger seating positions to be adjusted electrically and independently using the separate power
seat switches found on the outboard seat cushion
side shield of each front seat. See the owner’s manual
in the vehicle glove box for more information on the
features, use and operation of the power seat system.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - POWER SEAT
SYSTEM
Before any testing of the power seat system is
attempted, the battery should be fully-charged and
all wire harness connections and pins cleaned and
tightened to ensure proper continuity and grounds.
For circuit descriptions and diagrams, refer to Wiring
Diagrams.
With the dome lamp on, apply the power seat
switch in the direction of the failure. If the dome
lamp dims, the seat may be jamming. Check under
and behind the seat for binding or obstructions. If
the dome lamp does not dim, proceed with testing of
the individual components and circuits.

DRIVER POWER SEAT SWITCH
DESCRIPTION

POWER SEAT SYSTEM

8N - 17

No power seat switch should be held applied in any
direction after the adjuster has reached its travel
limit. The power seat adjuster motors each contain a
self-resetting circuit breaker to protect them from
overload. However, consecutive or frequent resetting
of the circuit breaker must not be allowed to continue, or the motor may be damaged.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - DRIVER POWER
SEAT SWITCH

Fig. 1 Power Seat Switch - Standard Cab
1 - SEAT SWITCH BEZEL

The power seat in standard cab models can be
adjusted in eight different directions, up, down, front
up, front down, rear up, rear down, rearward and forward. The power seat switch for quad cab models has
an additional switch knob for adjusting the power
lumbar support. The switch is located on the lower
outboard side of the seat cushion on the seat cushion
side shield (Fig. 1) on all models. Refer to the owner’s
manual in the vehicle glove box for more information
on the power seat switch functions and the seat
adjusting procedures.
The individual switches in the power seat switch
module cannot be repaired. If one switch is damaged
or faulty, the entire power seat switch module must
be replaced.

The following procedure can be used to test the
power seat switch on standard and quad cab models.
Some quad cab trucks utilize a additional power lumbar option, if the switch being tested does not have
the lumbar option simply ignore the lumbar portion
of the test. For circuit descriptions and diagrams,
refer to Wiring Diagrams.
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Remove the power seat switch from the power
seat.
(3) Use an ohmmeter to test the continuity of the
power seat switches in each position. See the Power
Seat Switch Continuity chart (Fig. 2). If OK, see
Power Seat Adjuster and Motors or Power Lumbar
Adjuster and Motor in the Diagnosis and Testing section of this group. If not OK, replace the faulty power
seat switch unit.

OPERATION
When a power switch control knob or knobs are
actuated, a battery feed and a ground path are
applied through the switch contacts to the power seat
track or recliner adjuster motor. The selected
adjuster motor operates to move the seat track or
recliner through its drive unit in the selected direction until the switch is released, or until the travel
limit of the adjuster is reached. When the switch is
moved in the opposite direction, the battery feed and
ground path to the motor are reversed through the
switch contacts. This causes the adjuster motor to
run in the opposite direction.

The power lumbar seat option includes an electrically operated lumbar support mechanism. A single
two-way momentary power lumbar switch is integral
with the power seat switches. The power lumbar
switch is secured to the back of the seat cushion side
shield with screws, and the switch paddle protrudes
through a hole to the outside of the shield. The
switch paddle is located in a shallow depression
molded into the outer surface of the seat cushion side
shield that helps to shroud it from unintentional
actuation when entering or leaving the vehicle.
The power lumbar switches cannot be adjusted or
repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the seat switch
assembly must be replaced.

BR/BE

POWER SEAT SYSTEM

LUMBAR CONTROL SWITCH (Continued)

OPERATION
When the power lumbar switch paddle is actuated,
a battery feed and a ground path are applied through
the switch contacts to the power lumbar adjuster
motor. The motor operates to move the lumbar
adjuster through its drive unit in the selected direction until the switch is released, or until the travel
limit of the adjuster is reached. When the switch is
moved in the opposite direction, the battery feed and
ground path to the motor are reversed through the
switch contacts. This causes the motor to run in the
opposite direction.
The power lumbar switch should not be held
applied in either direction after the adjuster has
reached its travel limit. The power lumbar adjuster
motor contains a self-resetting circuit breaker to protect it from overload. However, consecutive or frequent resetting of the circuit breaker must not be
allowed to continue, or the motor may be damaged.

REMOVAL
The power lumbar switch is integral with the other
power seat switches. Refer to the appropriate driver
or passenger power front seat switch removal and/or
installation procedure.

LUMBAR MOTOR
DESCRIPTION
The power lumbar seat option includes an electrically operated lumbar support mechanism. The only
visible evidence of this option is the separate power
lumbar switch control paddle that is located on the
outboard seat cushion side shield, next to the other
power seat switch control knobs. The power lumbar
adjuster and motor are concealed beneath the seat
back trim cover and padding, where they are secured
to a molded plastic back panel and to the seat back
frame.
The power lumbar adjuster cannot be repaired, and
is serviced only as a unit with the seat back frame. If
the power lumbar adjuster or the seat back frame
are damaged or faulty, the entire seat back frame
unit must be replaced (Refer to 23 - BODY/SEATS/
SEAT BACK - REMOVAL).

OPERATION
The power lumbar adjuster mechanism includes a
reversible electric motor that is secured to the
inboard side of the seat back panel and is connected
to a worm-drive gearbox. The motor and gearbox
operate the lumbar adjuster mechanism in the center
of the seat back by extending and retracting a cable
that actuates a lever. The action of this lever compresses or relaxes a grid of flexible slats. The more

this grid is compressed, the more the slats bow outward against the center of the seat back padding,
providing additional lumbar support.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - LUMBAR MOTOR
Actuate the power lumbar switch to move the
power lumbar adjuster in each direction. The power
lumbar adjuster should move in both directions. It
should be noted that the power lumber adjuster normally operates very quietly and exhibits little visible
movement. If the power lumbar adjuster fails to operate in only one direction, move the adjuster a short
distance in the opposite direction and test again to be
certain that the adjuster is not at its travel limit. If
the power lumbar adjuster still fails to operate in
only one direction, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
POWER SEATS/DRIVER SEAT SWITCH - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). If the power lumbar adjuster
fails to operate in either direction, perform the following tests. For complete circuit diagrams, refer to
Wiring Diagrams.
(1) Check the power seat circuit breaker in the
junction block. If OK, go to Step 2. If not OK, replace
the faulty power seat circuit breaker.
(2) Check for battery voltage at the power seat circuit breaker in the junction block. If OK, go to Step
3. If not OK, repair the open fused B(+) circuit to the
fuse in the Power Distribution Center as required.
(3) Remove the outboard seat cushion side shield
from the seat. Disconnect the seat wire harness connector from the power lumbar switch connector
receptacle. Check for battery voltage at the fused
B(+) circuit cavity of the power seat wire harness
connector for the power lumbar switch. If OK, go to
Step 4. If not OK, repair the open fused B(+) circuit
to the power seat circuit breaker in the junction
block as required.
(4) Check for continuity between the ground circuit cavity of the power seat wire harness connector
for the power lumbar switch and a good ground.
There should be continuity. If OK, go to Step 5. If not
OK, repair the open ground circuit to ground as
required.
(5) Test the power lumbar switch. . If the switch
tests OK, test the circuits of the power seat wire harness between the power lumbar adjuster motor and
the power lumbar switch for shorts or opens. If the
circuits check OK, replace the faulty seat back frame
assembly. If the circuits are not OK, repair the power
seat wire harness as required.

There are three reversible motors that operate the
power seat adjuster. The motors are connected to
worm-drive gearboxes that move the seat adjuster
through a combination of screw-type drive units.
The front and rear of a seat are operated by different motors. They can be raised or lowered independently of each other. When the center seat switch is
pushed in the Up or Down direction, both the front
and rear motors operate in unison. On standard cab
models the entire seat is moved up or down, on quad
cab models the seat cushion moves independently of
the seat back in the up or down directions. The forward-rearward motor is operated by pushing the center seat switch in the Forward or Rearward direction,
which moves the entire seat in the selected direction
on all models.

POWER WINDOWS
DESCRIPTION
Power windows are available as factory-installed
optional equipment on this model. The power lock
system is included on vehicles equipped with the
power window option.

OPERATION
The power window system allows each of the front
door windows to be raised and lowered electrically by
actuating a switch on the trim panel of each respective door. Additionally, the master switch on the
driver side door trim panel allows the driver to raise
or lower the passenger side front door window. The
power window system receives battery feed through a
circuit breaker in the junction block, only when the
ignition switch is in the On position.
The power window system includes the power window switches on each front door trim panel, the circuit breaker in the junction block, and the power
window motors inside each front door. This group
covers diagnosis and service of only the electrical
components in the power window system. For service
of mechanical components, such as the regulator, lift
plate, window tracks, or glass refer to Group 23 Body.
Refer to the owner’s manual in the vehicle glove
box for more information on the features, use and
operation of the power window system.

required.
NOTE: The passenger side power window switch
receives the ground feed for operating the passenger side power window motor through the driver
side power window switch and wire harness connector.

POWER WINDOW SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The power windows are controlled by two-way
switches integral to the power window and lock
switch and bezel unit on the trim panel of each front

door. A second power window switch in the driver
side switch and bezel unit allows the driver to control
the passenger side window. A Light-Emitting Diode
(LED) in the paddle of each switch is illuminated
whenever the ignition switch is in the On position.

OPERATION
The power window switch for the driver side front
door has an Auto label on it. This switch has a second detent position beyond the normal Down position
that provides an automatic one-touch window down
feature. This feature is controlled by an electronic
circuit and a relay that are integral to the driver side
front door power window and lock switch unit.
The power window switches control the battery
and ground feeds to the power window motors. The
passenger side power window switch receives a
ground feed through the driver side power window
switch for operating the passenger side power window motor.
The power window and lock switch and bezel unit
cannot be repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the
entire switch and bezel unit must be replaced.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - POWER WINDOW
SWITCH
The auto down feature of the driver side power
window switch is controlled by an electronic circuit
within the switch unit. The auto down circuitry is
activated when the driver side power window switch
is moved to the second detent in the Down direction.
The outputs from the auto down circuitry are carried
through the same switch pins that provide the normal down function. The auto down circuit cannot be
tested. If the driver side power window switch continuity tests are passed, but the auto down feature is
inoperative, replace the faulty driver side power window switch unit.
The Light-Emitting Diode (LED) illumination
lamps for all of the power window and lock switch
and bezel unit switch paddles receive battery current
through the power window circuit breaker in the
junction block. If all of the LEDs are inoperative in
either or both power window and lock switch and
bezel units and the power windows are inoperative,
perform the diagnosis for Power Window System in
this group. If the power windows operate, but any or
all of the LEDs are inoperative, the power window
and lock switch and bezel unit with the inoperative
LED(s) is faulty and must be replaced. For circuit
descriptions and diagrams, refer to the appropriate
wiring information. The wiring information includes
wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector repair
procedures, details of wire harness routing and
retention, connector pin-out information and location

(4) Reconnect the battery negative cable.

WINDOW MOTOR
DESCRIPTION
A permanent magnet reversible motor moves the
window regulator through an integral gearbox mechanism. A positive and negative battery connection to
the two motor terminals will cause the motor to
rotate in one direction. Reversing the current
through these same two connections will cause the
motor to rotate in the opposite direction.
In addition, each power window motor is equipped
with an integral self-resetting circuit breaker to protect the motor from overloads. The power window
motor and gearbox assembly cannot be repaired and,
if faulty or damaged, the entire power window regulator assembly must be replaced.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WINDOW MOTOR
For circuit descriptions and diagrams, refer to the
appropriate wiring information. The wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector repair procedures, details of wire harness
routing and retention, connector pin-out information
and location views for the various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds. Before you proceed with

this diagnosis, confirm proper switch operation.
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER WINDOWS/
POWER WINDOW SWITCH - DIAGNOSIS AND
TESTING).
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable. Remove the trim panel from the door with the
inoperative power window.
(2) Unplug the power window motor wire harness
connector. Apply 12 volts across the motor terminals
to check its operation in one direction. Reverse the
connections across the motor terminals to check the
operation in the other direction. Remember, if the
window is in the full up or full down position, the
motor will not operate in that direction by design. If
OK, repair the circuits from the power window motor
to the power window switch as required. If not OK,
replace the faulty motor.
(3) If the motor operates in both directions, check
the operation of the window glass and lift mechanism
through its complete up and down travel. There
should be no binding or sticking of the window glass
or lift mechanism through the entire travel range. If
not OK, (Refer to 23 - BODY/DOOR - FRONT/WINDOW REGULATOR - REMOVAL).

REMOVAL
The power window motor and mechanism is integral to the power window regulator unit. If the power
window motor or mechanism is faulty or damaged,
the entire power window regulator unit must be
replaced. (Refer to 23 - BODY/DOOR - FRONT/WINDOW REGULATOR - REMOVAL) for the window
regulator service procedures.

• Airbag Control Module - The Airbag Control
Module (ACM) is located in a stamped mounting
bracket on the floor panel transmission tunnel, below
the center of the instrument panel.
• Airbag Indicator - The airbag indicator is integral to the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster
(EMIC), which is located on the instrument panel in
front of the driver.
• Clockspring - The clockspring is located near
the top of the steering column, directly beneath the
steering wheel.
• Driver Airbag - The driver airbag is located in
the center of the steering wheel, beneath the driver
airbag trim cover.
• Driver Knee Blocker - The driver knee blocker
is a molded plastic structural unit secured to the
back side of and integral to the instrument panel
steering column opening cover.
• Passenger Airbag - The passenger airbag is
located on the instrument panel, beneath the passenger airbag door on the instrument panel above the
glove box on the passenger side of the vehicle.
• Passenger Airbag On/Off Switch - The passenger airbag on/off switch is located in a dedicated
opening in the upper right corner of the instrument
panel cluster bezel, to the right of the center panel
outlets of the climate control system.
• Passenger Knee Blocker - The passenger knee
blocker is a structural reinforcement that is integral
to and concealed within the glove box door.
The ACM and the EMIC each contain a central
processing unit and programming that allow them to
communicate with each other using the Chrysler Collision Detection (CCD) data bus network. This
method of communication is used for control of the
airbag indicator on all models. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC
CONTROL
MODULES/
COMMUNICATION - DESCRIPTION).

Hard wired circuitry connects the airbag system
components to each other through the electrical system of the vehicle. These hard wired circuits are
integral to several wire harnesses, which are routed
throughout the vehicle and retained by many different methods. These circuits may be connected to each
other, to the vehicle electrical system, and to the airbag system components through the use of a combination of soldered splices, splice block connectors,
and many different types of wire harness terminal
connectors and insulators. Refer to the appropriate
wiring information. The wiring information includes
wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector repair
procedures, further details on wire harness routing
and retention, as well as pin-out and location views
for the various wire harness connectors, splices and
grounds.

OPERATION
The airbag system is referred to as a supplemental
restraint system because it was designed and is
intended to enhance the protection for the front seat
occupants of the vehicle only when used in conjunction with the seat belts. It is referred to as a passive
system because the vehicle occupants are not
required to do anything to make it work. The primary passenger restraints in this or any other vehicle are the standard equipment factory-installed seat
belts. Seat belts are referred to as an active restraint
because the vehicle occupants are required to physically fasten and properly adjust these restraints in
order to benefit from them. The vehicle occupants
must be wearing their seat belts in order to obtain
the maximum safety benefit from the factory-installed airbag system.
The airbag system electrical circuits are continuously monitored and controlled by a microprocessor
and software contained within the Airbag Control
Module (ACM). An airbag indicator in the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) lights for about
seven seconds as a bulb test each time the ignition
switch is turned to the On or Start positions. Following the bulb test, the airbag indicator is turned on or
off by the ACM to indicate the status of the airbag
system. If the airbag indicator comes on at any time
other than during the bulb test, it indicates that
there is a problem in the airbag system electrical circuits. Such a problem may cause the airbags not to
deploy when required, or to deploy when not
required.
The clockspring on the top of the steering column
allows a continuous electrical circuit to be maintained between the stationary steering column and
the driver airbag inflator, which rotates with the
steering wheel. The passenger airbag on/off switch
allows the passenger side airbag to be disabled when

RESTRAINTS

circumstances necessitate that a child, or an adult
with certain medical conditions be placed in the front
passenger seating position. Refer to the owner’s manual in the vehicle glove box for specific recommendations concerning the specific circumstances where the
passenger airbag on/off switch should be used to disable the passenger airbag.
Deployment of the airbags depends upon the angle
and severity of the impact. The airbag system is
designed to deploy upon a frontal impact within a
thirty degree angle from either side of the vehicle
center line. Deployment is not based upon vehicle
speed; rather, deployment is based upon the rate of
deceleration as measured by the forces of gravity (G
force) upon the airbag system impact sensor, which is
integral to the ACM. When a frontal impact is severe
enough, the microprocessor in the ACM signals the
inflator units of both airbag modules to deploy the
airbags. During a frontal vehicle impact, the knee
blockers work in concert with properly fastened and
adjusted seat belts to restrain both the driver and
the front seat passenger in the proper position for an
airbag deployment. The knee blockers also absorb
and distribute the crash energy from the driver and
the front seat passenger to the structure of the
instrument panel.
Typically, the driver and front seat passenger recall
more about the events preceding and following a collision than they have of the airbag deployment itself.
This is because the airbag deployment and deflation
occur so rapidly. In a typical 48 kilometer-per-hour
(30 mile-per-hour) barrier impact, from the moment
of impact until both airbags are fully inflated takes
about 40 milliseconds. Within one to two seconds
from the moment of impact, both airbags are almost
entirely deflated. The times cited for these events are
approximations, which apply only to a barrier impact
at the given speed. Actual times will vary somewhat,
depending upon the vehicle speed, impact angle,
severity of the impact, and the type of collision.
When the ACM monitors a problem in any of the
airbag system circuits or components, it stores a
fault code or Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) in its
memory circuit and sends an electronic message to
the EMIC to turn on the airbag indicator. Proper
testing of the airbag system components, the
Chrysler Collision Detection (CCD) data bus, the
data bus message inputs to and outputs from the
EMIC or the ACM, as well as the retrieval or erasure
of a DTC from the ACM requires the use of a
DRBIIIt scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
See the owner’s manual in the vehicle glove box for
more information on the features, use and operation
of all of the factory-installed passenger restraints,
including the airbag system.

THEN WAIT TWO MINUTES FOR THE AIRBAG SYSTEM CAPACITOR TO DISCHARGE BEFORE PERFORMING FURTHER DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. THIS
IS THE ONLY SURE WAY TO DISABLE THE AIRBAG
SYSTEM. FAILURE TO TAKE THE PROPER PRECAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL
INJURY.

STANDARD PROCEDURE
STANDARD PROCEDURE - HANDLING
NON-DEPLOYED AIRBAGS
At no time should any source of electricity be permitted near the inflator on the back of a non-deployed airbag. When carrying a non-deployed airbag,
the trim cover or airbag cushion side of the unit
should be pointed away from the body to minimize
injury in the event of an accidental deployment. If
the airbag unit is placed on a bench or any other surface, the trim cover or airbag cushion side of the unit
should be face up to minimize movement in the event
of an accidental deployment. In addition, the airbag
system should be disarmed whenever any steering
wheel, steering column, or instrument panel components require diagnosis or service. Failure to observe
this warning could result in accidental airbag deployment and possible personal injury.
All damaged, faulty, or non-deployed airbags which
are replaced on vehicles are to handled and disposed
of properly. If an airbag unit is faulty or damaged

and non-deployed, refer to the Hazardous Substance
Control System for proper disposal. Dispose of all
non-deployed and deployed airbags in a manner consistent with state, provincial, local and federal regulations.
AIRBAG STORAGE
An airbag must be stored in its original, special
container until it is used for service. Also, it must be
stored in a clean, dry environment; away from
sources of extreme heat, sparks, and high electrical
energy. Always place or store any airbag on a surface
with its trim cover or airbag cushion side facing up,
to minimize movement in case of an accidental
deployment.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - SERVICE AFTER AN
AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT
Any vehicle which is to be returned to use following an airbag deployment, must have both airbags,
the driver airbag trim cover, the clockspring, and the
steering column assembly replaced. These components are not intended for reuse and will be damaged
or weakened as a result of an airbag deployment,
which may or may not be obvious during a visual
inspection. Other vehicle components should be
closely inspected, but are to be replaced only as
required by the extent of the visible damage
incurred.
CLEANUP PROCEDURE
Following an airbag deployment, the vehicle interior will contain a powdery residue. This residue consists primarily of harmless particulate by-products of
the small pyrotechnic charge used to initiate the propellant used to deploy the airbags. However, this residue may also contain traces of sodium hydroxide
powder, a chemical by-product of the propellant
material that is used to generate the nitrogen gas
that inflates the airbag. Since sodium hydroxide powder can irritate the skin, eyes, nose, or throat, be
sure to wear safety glasses, rubber gloves, and a
long-sleeved shirt during cleanup (Fig. 2).
WARNING: IF YOU EXPERIENCE SKIN IRRITATION
DURING CLEANUP, RUN COOL WATER OVER THE
AFFECTED AREA. ALSO, IF YOU EXPERIENCE
IRRITATION OF THE NOSE OR THROAT, EXIT THE
VEHICLE FOR FRESH AIR UNTIL THE IRRITATION
CEASES. IF IRRITATION CONTINUES, SEE A PHYSICIAN.
Begin the cleanup by removing both airbags from
the vehicle. Refer to the appropriate service removal
procedures.

CAUTION: All damaged, faulty, or non-deployed airbags which are replaced on vehicles are to handled
and disposed of properly. If an airbag unit is faulty
or damaged and non-deployed, refer to the Hazardous Substance Control System for proper disposal.
Dispose of all non-deployed and deployed airbags
in a manner consistent with state, provincial, local
and federal regulations.
Next, use a vacuum cleaner to remove any residual
powder from the vehicle interior. Clean from outside
the vehicle and work your way inside, so that you
avoid kneeling or sitting on a non-cleaned area. Be
certain to vacuum the heater and air conditioning
outlets as well (Fig. 3). Run the heater and air conditioner blower on the lowest speed setting and vacuum any powder expelled from the outlets. You may
need to vacuum the interior of the vehicle a second
time to recover all of the powder.

(3) Turn the ignition switch to the On position and
exit the vehicle with the DRBIIIt.
(4) Check to be certain that nobody is in the vehicle, then reconnect the battery negative cable.
(5) Using the DRBIIIt, read and record the active
(current) Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) data.
(6) Next, use the DRBIIIt to read and record any
stored (historical) DTC data.
(7) If any DTC is found in Step 5 or Step 6, refer
to the appropriate diagnostic information.
(8) Use the DRBIIIt to erase the stored DTC data.
If any problems remain, the stored DTC data will not
erase. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information to diagnose any stored DTC that will not erase.
If the stored DTC information is successfully erased,
go to Step 9.
(9) Turn the ignition switch to the Off position for
about fifteen seconds, and then back to the On position. Observe the airbag indicator in the instrument
cluster. It should light for six to eight seconds, and
then go out. This indicates that the airbag system is
functioning normally and that the repairs are complete. If the airbag indicator fails to light, or lights
and stays on, there is still an active airbag system

AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE
DESCRIPTION
The Airbag Control Module (ACM) is concealed
underneath the plastic ACM trim cover (automatic
transmission) or center console (manual transmission), directly below the instrument panel in the passenger compartment of the vehicle. The ACM is
secured with screws to a stamped steel mounting
bracket located under the instrument panel center
support bracket on the floor panel transmission tunnel. The ACM contains an electronic microprocessor,
an electronic impact sensor, an electromechanical safing sensor, and an energy storage capacitor. The

The microprocessor in the ACM contains the airbag
system logic circuits, and it monitors and controls all
of the airbag system components. The ACM also uses
On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) and can communicate
with other electronic modules in the vehicle as well
as with the DRBIIIt scan tool using the Chrysler
Collision Detection (CCD) data bus network. This
method of communication is used for control of the
airbag indicator in the ElectroMechanical Instrument
Cluster (EMIC) and for airbag system diagnosis and
testing through the 16-way data link connector
located on the lower left edge of the instrument
panel. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC
CONTROL MODULES/COMMUNICATION - OPERATION). The ACM microprocessor continuously monitors all of the airbag system electrical circuits to
determine the system readiness. If the ACM detects
a monitored system fault, it sets an active Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) and sends messages to the
EMIC over the CCD data bus to turn on the airbag
indicator. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/INSTRUMENT
CLUSTER/AIRBAG INDICATOR - OPERATION). If
the airbag system fault is still present when the ignition switch is turned to the Off position, the DTC is
stored in memory by the ACM. However, if a fault
does not recur for a number of ignition cycles, the
ACM will automatically erase the stored DTC.
The ACM receives battery current through two circuits, on a fused ignition switch output (run) circuit
through a fuse in the Junction Block (JB), and on a
fused ignition switch output (start-run) circuit
through a second fuse in the JB. The ACM is
grounded through a ground circuit and take out of
the instrument panel wire harness. This take out has
a single eyelet terminal connector secured by a nut to
a ground stud located on the forward extension of the
left front fender wheel housing in the engine compartment. Therefore, the ACM is operational whenever the ignition switch is in the Start or On
positions. The ACM also contains an energy-storage
capacitor. When the ignition switch is in the Start or
On positions, this capacitor is continually being
charged with enough electrical energy to deploy the
airbags for up to one second following a battery disconnect or failure. The purpose of the capacitor is to
provide backup airbag system protection in case
there is a loss of battery current supply to the ACM
during an impact. The capacitor is only serviced as a
unit with the ACM.

RESTRAINTS

BR/BE

8O - 7

AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE (Continued)
Two sensors are contained within the ACM, an
electronic impact sensor and a safing sensor. The
electronic impact sensor is an accelerometer that
senses the rate of vehicle deceleration, which provides verification of the direction and severity of an
impact. A pre-programmed decision algorithm in the
ACM microprocessor determines when the deceleration rate as signaled by the impact sensor indicates
an impact that is severe enough to require airbag
system protection. When the programmed conditions
are met, the ACM sends an electrical signal to deploy
the airbags. The safing sensor is an electromechanical sensor within the ACM that is connected in series
between the ACM microprocessor airbag deployment
circuit and the airbags. The safing sensor is a normally open switch that is used to verify or confirm

CLOCKSPRING
DESCRIPTION
The clockspring assembly is secured with two integral plastic latches onto the steering column lock
housing near the top of the steering column, behind
the steering wheel. The clockspring consists of a flat,
round molded plastic case with a stubby tail that
hangs below the steering column and contains a connector receptacle and a long pigtail wire with connector that face toward the instrument panel. Within
the plastic housing is a spool-like molded plastic
rotor with a large exposed hub. The upper surface of
the rotor hub has a large center hole, two large flats,
two auto-locking tabs, and three short pigtail wires
with connectors that face toward the steering wheel.
The lower surface of the rotor hub has two integral
turn signal cancelling cam lobes. Within the plastic
case and wound around the rotor spool is a long ribbon-like tape that consists of several thin copper wire
leads sandwiched between two thin plastic membranes. The outer end of the tape terminates at the
connector receptacle and pigtail wire that face the
instrument panel, while the inner end of the tape
terminates at the pigtail wires on the hub of the
clockspring rotor that face the steering wheel.
Service replacement clocksprings are shipped precentered and with a piece of tape covering the

engaged auto-locking tabs. The auto-locking tabs
secure the centered clockspring rotor to the clockspring case during shipment, but these tabs are automatically disengaged once the clockspring is installed
on the steering column. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
RESTRAINTS/CLOCKSPRING - STANDARD PROCEDURE - CLOCKSPRING CENTERING).
The clockspring cannot be repaired. If the clockspring is faulty, damaged, or if the driver airbag has
been deployed, the clockspring must be replaced.

OPERATION
The clockspring is a mechanical electrical circuit
component that is used to provide continuous electrical continuity between the fixed instrument panel
wire harness and the electrical components mounted
on or in the rotating steering wheel. On this model
the rotating electrical components include the driver
airbag, the horn switch, the speed control switches,
and the remote radio switches if the vehicle is so
equipped. The clockspring case is positioned and
secured to the upper steering column lock housing by
two integral plastic latches. The connector receptacle
on the tail of the fixed clockspring housing connect
the clockspring to the vehicle electrical system
through a take out with connector from the instrument panel wire harness. The lower clockspring pigtail on the tail of the clockspring housing connect the
clockspring driver airbag circuits to a separate take
out and connector of the instrument panel wire harness located near the lower instrument panel reinforcement, below the steering column. The
clockspring rotor is movable and is keyed to the hub
of the steering wheel by two large flats that are
molded into the rotor hub. The two lobes on the
lower surface of the clockspring rotor hub contact a
turn signal cancel actuator of the multi-function
switch to provide automatic turn signal cancellation.
The pigtail wires on the upper surface of the clockspring connect the clockspring to the horn switch, the
two speed control switches, and the remote radio
switches on vehicles that are so equipped.
Like the clockspring in a timepiece, the clockspring
tape has travel limits and can be damaged by being
wound too tightly during full stop-to-stop steering
wheel rotation. To prevent this from occurring, the
clockspring must be centered when it is installed on
the steering column. Centering the clockspring
indexes the clockspring spool to the movable steering
components so that the tape can operate within its
designed travel limits. However, if the clockspring is
removed from the steering column or if the steering
shaft is disconnected from the steering gear, the
clockspring spool can change position relative to the
movable steering components and must be re-centered following completion of the service or the tape

RESTRAINTS

CLOCKSPRING (Continued)
may be damaged. Service replacement clocksprings
are shipped pre-centered and with the auto-locking
tabs engaged. A piece of tape covers the auto-locking
tabs to discourage tampering. These auto-locking
tabs should not be disengaged until the clockspring
has been installed on the steering column. If this
shipping tape is removed or damaged, or if the autolocking tabs are disengaged before the clockspring is
installed on a steering column, the clockspring centering procedure must be performed. (Refer to 8 ELECTRICAL/RESTRAINTS/CLOCKSPRING
STANDARD PROCEDURE - CLOCKSPRING CENTERING).

NOTE: Before starting this procedure, be certain to
turn the steering wheel until the front wheels are in
the straight-ahead position.
(1) Place the front wheels in the straight-ahead
position.
(2) Remove the clockspring from the steering column. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/RESTRAINTS/
CLOCKSPRING - REMOVAL).
(3) Depress the two plastic clockspring auto-locking tabs (Fig. 8).

STANDARD PROCEDURE - CLOCKSPRING
CENTERING
The clockspring is designed to wind and unwind
when the steering wheel is rotated, but is only
designed to rotate the same number of turns (about
five complete rotations) as the steering wheel can be
turned from stop to stop. Centering the clockspring
indexes the clockspring tape to other steering components so that it can operate within its designed
travel limits. The rotor of a centered clockspring can
be rotated two and one-half turns in either direction
from the centered position, without damaging the
clockspring tape.
However, if the clockspring is removed for service
or if the steering column is disconnected from the
steering gear, the clockspring tape can change position relative to the other steering components. The
clockspring must then be re-centered following completion of such service or the clockspring tape may be
damaged. Service replacement clocksprings are
shipped pre-centered and with the auto-locking tabs
engaged (raised). These auto-locking tabs should not
be disengaged until the clockspring has been
installed on the steering column. If the auto-locking
tabs are disengaged before the clockspring is
installed on a steering column, the clockspring centering procedure must be performed.

RESTRAINTS

DRIVER AIRBAG
DESCRIPTION
The driver airbag protective trim cover is the most
visible part of the driver airbag. The airbag used in
this model is a Next Generation-type that complies
with revised federal airbag standards to deploy with
less force than those used in some prior models. The
driver airbag is located in the center of the steering
wheel, where it is secured with two screws to the
steering wheel armature. Concealed beneath the
driver airbag trim cover are the horn switch, the
folded airbag cushion, the airbag retainer or housing,
the airbag inflator, and the retainers that secure the
trim cover to the airbag housing. The resistive membrane-type horn switch is secured with heat stakes to
the inside surface of the airbag trim cover, between
the trim cover and the folded airbag cushion. The airbag inflator is a conventional pyrotechnic-type unit
that is secured with nuts to four studs on the back of
the stamped metal airbag housing.
The driver airbag trim cover has locking blocks
molded into the back side of it that engage a lip
formed around the perimeter of the airbag housing.
Two stamped metal retainers then fit over the inflator mounting studs on the back of the airbag housing
and tabs on the retainer are engaged in slots on the
inside of the trim cover, securely locking the cover
into place. One horn switch pigtail wire has an eyelet
terminal connector that is captured on the upper left
inflator mounting stud between the inflator and the
upper trim cover retainer. The connector insulator of
the other horn switch pigtail wire is routed between
the upper right inflator mounting stud and the inflator, where it is captured by a small plastic retainer
that is pushed onto the stud. The driver airbag cannot be repaired, and must be replaced if deployed or
in any way damaged. The driver airbag trim cover
and horn switch are available as a unit, and may be
disassembled from the driver airbag for service
replacement.

OPERATION
The driver airbag is deployed by an electrical signal generated by the Airbag Control Module (ACM)
through the driver airbag line 1 and line 2 (or squib)
circuits. When the ACM sends the proper electrical
signal to the airbag inflator, the electrical energy
generates enough heat to initiate a small pyrotechnic
charge which, in turn, ignites chemical pellets within
the inflator. Once ignited, these chemical pellets burn
rapidly and produce a large quantity of nitrogen gas.
The inflator is sealed to the back of the airbag housing and a diffuser in the inflator directs all of the
nitrogen gas into the airbag cushion, causing the
cushion to inflate. As the cushion inflates, the driver

BR/BE

airbag trim cover will split at predetermined breakout lines, then fold back out of the way along with
the horn switch. Following an airbag deployment, the
airbag cushion quickly deflates by venting the nitrogen gas towards the instrument panel through the
porous fabric material used on the steering wheel
side of the airbag cushion.
Some of the chemicals used to create the nitrogen
gas are considered hazardous in their solid state,
before they are burned, but they are securely sealed
within the airbag inflator. However, the nitrogen gas
that is produced when the chemicals are burned is
harmless. A small amount of residue from the burned
chemicals may cause some temporary discomfort if it
contacts the skin, eyes, or breathing passages. If skin
or eye irritation is noticed, rinse the affected area
with plenty of cool, clean water. If breathing passages are irritated, move to another area where there
is plenty of clean, fresh air to breath. If the irritation
is not alleviated by these actions, contact a physician.

REMOVAL
The following procedure is for replacement of a
faulty or damaged driver airbag. If the driver airbag
has been deployed, the clockspring and the steering
column assembly must also be replaced. (Refer to 8 ELECTRICAL/RESTRAINTS/CLOCKSPRING

PASSENGER AIRBAG
DESCRIPTION
The rearward facing surface of the passenger airbag door above the glove box is the most visible part
of the passenger airbag. The airbag used in this
model is a Next Generation-type that complies with
revised federal airbag standards to deploy with less
force than those used in some prior models. The passenger airbag is located in the instrument panel in
front of the front seat passenger seating position,
where it is secured to the instrument panel. Concealed beneath the passenger airbag door are the
folded airbag cushion, the airbag retainer or housing,
and the airbag inflator. The airbag inflator is a
hybrid-type unit that is secured to and sealed within
the stamped steel airbag housing along with the
folded airbag cushion. The airbag housing stamping
also includes the two mounting brackets, one front
and one rear. The front bracket is secured beneath
the instrument panel top cover with screws to the
instrument panel structural support. The rear
bracket is secured with screws to the upper glove box
opening reinforcement. A yellow connector on the end
of a short, two-wire pigtail harness connects the passenger airbag inflator to the vehicle electrical system.
The molded plastic passenger airbag door has predetermined breakout lines concealed beneath its decorative cover. The lower edge of the passenger airbag
door is secured to the airbag housing, and includes
the two passenger side panel outlets. The sides and
upper edges are secured to the instrument panel top
cover with five molded tabs that are each fit with a
small metal retainer. The five retainers are snapped
into five slotted receptacles located around the sides
and top of the airbag door opening in the instrument
panel top cover. Following a passenger airbag deployment, the passenger airbag and airbag door unit
must be replaced. The passenger airbag cannot be
repaired, and must be replaced if faulty or in any
way damaged. The passenger airbag door is serviced
only as a unit with the passenger airbag, and
includes the two passenger side heating and air conditioning panel outlet housings and barrels.

OPERATION
The passenger airbag is deployed by an electrical
signal generated by the Airbag Control Module
(ACM) through the passenger airbag line 1 and line 2
(or squib) circuits. The hybrid-type inflator assembly
includes a small canister of highly compressed argon
gas. When the ACM sends the proper electrical signal
to the airbag inflator, the electrical energy generates
enough heat to ignite chemical pellets within the
inflator. Once ignited, these chemical pellets burn
rapidly and produce the pressure necessary to rup-

8O - 21

ture a containment disk in the argon gas canister.
The inflator and argon gas canister are sealed to the
airbag cushion so that all of the released argon gas is
directed into the airbag cushion, causing the cushion
to inflate. As the cushion inflates, the passenger airbag door will split at the breakout lines and the door
will pivot out of the way. Following an airbag deployment, the airbag cushion quickly deflates by venting
the argon gas through the porous fabric material
used on each end panel of the airbag cushion.
Some of the chemicals used to create the pressure
to burst the argon gas containment disk are considered hazardous in their solid state, before they are
burned, but they are securely sealed within the airbag inflator. However, the gas that is produced when
the chemicals are burned is harmless. A small
amount of residue from the burned chemicals may
cause some temporary discomfort if it contacts the
skin, eyes, or breathing passages. If skin or eye irritation is noticed, rinse the affected area with plenty
of cool, clean water. If breathing passages are irritated, move to another area where there is plenty of
clean, fresh air to breath. If the irritation is not alleviated by these actions, contact a physician immediately.

PASSENGER AIRBAG ON/OFF
SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The passenger airbag on-off switch is standard
equipment on this model when it is not equipped
with a full size rear seat. This switch is a single pole,
single throw switch with a single integral red LightEmitting Diode (LED), and a non-coded key cylindertype actuator. The switch is located in the upper
right corner of instrument panel cluster bezel, near
the center of instrument panel to make the Off indicator visible to all front seat occupants. When the

8O - 24

RESTRAINTS

BR/BE

PASSENGER AIRBAG ON/OFF SWITCH (Continued)
switch is in its installed position, the only components visible through the dedicated opening of the
cluster bezel are the switch face plate and nomenclature, the key cylinder actuator, and a small round
lens with the text 9Off9 imprinted on it. The “On”
position of the switch is designated by text imprinted
upon the face plate of the switch, but is not illuminated. The remainder of the switch is concealed
behind the switch face plate and the instrument
panel cluster bezel.
The passenger airbag on-off switch housing is constructed of molded plastic and has three integral
mounting tabs. These mounting tabs are used to
secure the switch to the back of the molded plastic
switch face plate with three small screws. The
molded plastic face plate also has three integral
mounting tabs that are used to secure the switch and
face plate unit to the instrument panel carrier with
three additional screws. Two short pigtail wires with
molded plastic connector insulators exit the back of
the switch housing and connect the switch to the
vehicle electrical system through two dedicated take
outs of the instrument panel wire harness. The harness take outs are equipped with molded plastic connector insulators that are keyed and latched to
ensure proper and secure switch electrical connections. The passenger airbag on/off switch cannot be
adjusted or repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the
switch must be replaced.

OPERATION
The passenger airbag on/off switch allows the customer to turn the passenger airbag function On or
Off to accommodate certain uses of the right front
seating position where airbag protection may not be
desired. See the owner’s manual in the vehicle glove
box for specific recommendations on when to enable
or disable the passenger airbag. The Off indicator of
the switch will be illuminated whenever the switch is
turned to the Off position. The ignition key is the
only key or object that should ever be inserted into
the switch. The on/off switch requires only a partial
key insertion to fully depress a spring-loaded locking
plunger. The spring-loaded locking plunger prevents
the user from leaving the key in the switch. The key
will be automatically ejected when force is not
applied. To actuate the passenger side airbag on/off
switch, insert the ignition key into the switch key
actuator far enough to fully depress the plunger and
rotate to the desired switch position. When the
switch key actuator is rotated to its clockwise stop
(the key actuator slot will be aligned with the Off
indicator lamp), the Off indicator is illuminated and
the passenger airbag is disabled. When the switch is
rotated to its counterclockwise stop (the key actuator
slot will be in a vertical position), the Off indicator

will be extinguished and the passenger airbag is
enabled.
The passenger airbag on/off switch is connected in
series between the Airbag Control Module (ACM) and
the passenger airbag inflator unit. When the switch
is in the On position, the switch connects the ACM
directly to the passenger airbag inflator. When the
switch is in the Off position it interrupts the inflator
circuits, but replaces the normal resistance in these
circuits with an internal resistor. Thus, the ACM is
unable to distinguish the mode of the switch and still
sends an electrical signal as though it were deploying
the passenger airbag when it detects a sufficient
impact. However, the switch position should not be
changed while the ignition switch is in the On position, as the ACM may detect a fault, record a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC), and illuminate the Airbag
indicator in response to a momentary open it senses
in the passenger airbag inflator circuits as the on/off
switch changes states.

SEAT BELT SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The seat belt switch is a small, normally closed,
single pole, single throw, leaf contact, momentary
switch. Only one seat belt switch is installed in the
vehicle, and it is integral to the buckle of the driver
seat belt buckle-half, located near the inboard side of
the driver side front seating position. The seat belt
switch is connected to the vehicle electrical system
through a two-wire pigtail wire and connector on the
seat belt buckle-half, which is connected to a wire
harness connector and take out of the body wire harness.
The seat belt switch cannot be adjusted or repaired
and, if faulty or damaged, the entire driver seat belt
buckle-half unit must be replaced.

OPERATION
The seat belt switch is designed to control a path
to ground for the seat belt switch sense input of the
Electro-Mechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC).
When the driver side seat belt tip-half is inserted in
the seat belt buckle, the switch opens the path to
ground; and, when the driver side seat belt tip-half is
removed from the seat belt buckle, the switch closes
the ground path. The switch is actuated by the latch
mechanism within the seat belt buckle. The EMIC
monitors the driver seat belt switch status, then controls the seatbelt indicator and sends hard wired
chime requests to the Central Timer Module (CTM)
based upon that input.
The seat belt switch receives ground through its
pigtail wire connection to the body wire harness from
another take out of the body wire harness. An eyelet
terminal connector on that ground take out is

secured under a nut to a ground stud on the left
lower B-pillar (standard cab models) or the left lower
cowl side inner panel (club cab and quad cab models).
The seat belt switch is connected in series between
ground and the seat belt switch sense input of the
EMIC.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - SEAT BELT
SWITCH
Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The
wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper
wire and connector repair procedures, details of wire
harness routing and retention, connector pin-out
information and location views for the various wire
harness connectors, splices and grounds.

DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. DISCONNECT AND ISOLATE THE BATTERY NEGATIVE (GROUND) CABLE,
THEN WAIT TWO MINUTES FOR THE AIRBAG SYSTEM CAPACITOR TO DISCHARGE BEFORE PERFORMING FURTHER DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. THIS
IS THE ONLY SURE WAY TO DISABLE THE AIRBAG
SYSTEM. FAILURE TO TAKE THE PROPER PRECAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL
INJURY.
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable. Disconnect the body wire harness connector for
the seat belt switch from the seat belt switch pigtail
wire connector located near the floor panel under the
driver side front seat cushion. Check for continuity
between the seat belt switch sense circuit and the
ground circuit cavities in the seat belt switch pigtail
wire connector. There should be continuity with the
driver side seat belt tip-half and buckle-half unfastened, and no continuity with tip-half and buckle-half
fastened. If OK, go to Step 2. If not OK, replace the
faulty driver side seat belt buckle-half unit.
(2) Check for continuity between the ground circuit cavity in the body wire harness connector for the
seat belt switch and a good ground. There should be
continuity. If OK, go to Step 3. If not OK, repair the
open ground circuit to ground (G301 - standard cab,
or G300 - club/quad cab) as required.
(3) Remove the instrument cluster from the instrument panel. Check for continuity between the seat
belt switch sense circuit cavity in the instrument
panel wire harness connector (Connector C2) for the
instrument cluster and a good ground. There should
be no continuity. If OK, go to Step 4. If not OK,
repair the shorted seat belt switch sense circuit

DESCRIPTION - SPEED CONTROL SYSTEM
Gas Engines and/or Diesel With Automatic Trans.
The speed control system is operated by the use of
a cable and a vacuum controlled servo. Electronic
control of the speed control system is integrated into
the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The controls
consist of two steering wheel mounted switches. The
switches are labeled: ON/OFF, RES/ACCEL, SET,
COAST, and CANCEL.
The system is designed to operate at speeds above
30 mph (50 km/h).
WARNING: THE USE OF SPEED CONTROL IS NOT
RECOMMENDED WHEN DRIVING CONDITIONS DO
NOT PERMIT MAINTAINING A CONSTANT SPEED,
SUCH AS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC OR ON ROADS THAT

The speed control system is fully electronically controlled by the Engine Control Module (ECM). A
cable and a vacuum controlled servo are not
used if the vehicle is equipped with a manual
transmission and a diesel engine. This is a servo-less system. The controls consist of two steering
wheel mounted switches. The switches are labeled:
ON/OFF, RES/ACCEL, SET, COAST, and CANCEL.
The system is designed to operate at speeds above
30 mph (50 km/h).

The Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) is no longer used
for any Dodge Truck.
Vehicle speed and distance covered are measured
by the Rear Wheel Speed Sensor. The sensor is
mounted to the rear axle. A signal is sent from this
sensor to the Controller Antilock Brake (CAB) computer. A signal is then sent from the CAB to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) to determine vehicle
speed and distance covered. The PCM will then
determine strategies for speed control system operation.

OPERATION - SPEED CONTROL SYSTEM
Gas Engines and/or Diesel With Automatic Trans.
When speed control is selected by depressing the
ON switch, the PCM allows a set speed to be stored
in PCM RAM for speed control. To store a set speed,
depress the SET switch while the vehicle is moving
at a speed between 35 and 85 mph. In order for the
speed control to engage, the brakes cannot be
applied, nor can the gear selector be indicating the
transmission is in Park or Neutral.
The speed control can be disengaged manually by:
• Stepping on the brake pedal.
• Depressing the OFF switch.
• Depressing the CANCEL switch.
• Depressing the clutch pedal (if equipped).
NOTE: Depressing the OFF switch or turning off the
ignition switch will erase the set speed stored in
the PCM.
For added safety, the speed control system is programmed to disengage for any of the following conditions:
• An indication of Park or Neutral.
• A rapid increase of rpm (indication that the
clutch has been disengaged).

• Excessive engine rpm (indicates that the transmission may be in a low gear).
• The speed signal increases at a rate of 10 mph
per second (indicates that the coefficient of friction
between the road surface and tires is extremely low).
• The speed signal decreases at a rate of 10 mph
per second (indicates that the vehicle may have
decelerated at an extremely high rate).
Once the speed control has been disengaged,
depressing the RES/ACCEL switch (when speed is
greater than 30 mph) restores the vehicle to the target speed that was stored in the PCM.
While the speed control is engaged, the driver can
increase the vehicle speed by depressing the RES/ACCEL switch. The new target speed is stored in the
PCM when the RES/ACCEL is released. The PCM
also has a 9tap-up9 feature in which vehicle speed
increases at a rate of approximately 2 mph for each
momentary switch activation of the RES/ACCEL
switch.
A “tap down” feature is used to decelerate without
disengaging the speed control system. To decelerate
from an existing recorded target speed, momentarily
depress the COAST switch. For each switch activation, speed will be lowered approximately 1 mph.

Diesel With Manual Trans.
When speed control is selected by depressing the
ON switch, the Engine Control Module (ECM) allows
a set speed to be stored in ECM RAM for speed control. To store a set speed, depress the SET switch
while the vehicle is moving at a speed between 35
and 85 mph. In order for the speed control to engage,
the brakes cannot be applied.The speed control can
be disengaged manually by:
• Stepping on the brake pedal.
• Depressing the OFF switch.
• Depressing the CANCEL switch.
• Depressing the clutch pedal.
NOTE: Depressing the OFF switch or turning off the
ignition switch will erase the set speed stored in
the ECM.
For added safety, the speed control system is programmed to disengage for any of the following conditions:
• A rapid increase of rpm (indication that the
clutch has been disengaged).
• Excessive engine rpm (indicates that the transmission may be in a low gear).
• The speed signal increases at a rate of 10 mph
per second (indicates that the coefficient of friction
between the road surface and tires is extremely low).
• The speed signal decreases at a rate of 10 mph
per second (indicates that the vehicle may have
decelerated at an extremely high rate).

Once the speed control has been disengaged,
depressing the RES/ACCEL switch (when speed is
greater than 30 mph) restores the vehicle to the target speed that was stored in the ECM.
While the speed control is engaged, the driver can
increase the vehicle speed by depressing the RES/ACCEL switch. The new target speed is stored in the
ECM when the RES/ACCEL is released. The ECM
also has a 9tap-up9 feature in which vehicle speed
increases at a rate of approximately 2 mph for each
momentary switch activation of the RES/ACCEL
switch.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - VACUUM SUPPLY
TEST
Gas Powered Engines
On gasoline powered engines: actual engine vacuum, a vacuum reservoir, a one-way check valve and
vacuum lines are used to supply vacuum to the speed
control servo.
(1) Disconnect vacuum hose at speed control servo
and install a vacuum gauge into the disconnected
hose.
(2) Start engine and observe gauge at idle. Vacuum gauge should read at least ten inches of mercury.
(3) If vacuum is less than ten inches of mercury,
determine source of leak. Check vacuum line to
engine for leaks. Also check actual engine intake
manifold vacuum. If manifold vacuum does not meet
this requirement, check for poor engine performance
and repair as necessary.
(4) If vacuum line to engine is not leaking, check
for leak at vacuum reservoir. To locate and gain
access to reservoir, refer to Vacuum Reservoir Removal/Installation in this group. Disconnect vacuum line
at reservoir and connect a hand-operated vacuum
pump to reservoir fitting. Apply vacuum. Reservoir
vacuum should not bleed off. If vacuum is being lost,
replace reservoir.
(5) Verify operation of one-way check valve and
check it for leaks.
(a) Locate one-way check valve. The valve is
located in vacuum line between vacuum reservoir

and engine vacuum source. Disconnect vacuum
hoses (lines) at each end of valve.
(b) Connect a hand-operated vacuum pump to
reservoir end of check valve. Apply vacuum. Vacuum should not bleed off. If vacuum is being lost,
replace one-way check valve.
(c) Connect a hand-operated vacuum pump to
vacuum source end of check valve. Apply vacuum.
Vacuum should flow through valve. If vacuum is
not flowing, replace one-way check valve. Seal the
fitting at opposite end of valve with a finger and
apply vacuum. If vacuum will not hold, diaphragm
within check valve has ruptured. Replace valve.

Diesel Engines With Automatic Trans.
On diesel powered engines equipped with an automatic transmission: an engine driven vacuum pump,
a one-way check valve and vacuum lines are used to
supply vacuum to the speed control servo. A vacuum
reservoir is not used.
(1) Disconnect vacuum hose at speed control servo
and install a vacuum gauge into the disconnected
hose.
(2) Start engine and observe gauge at idle. For
vacuum testing and vacuum specifications, refer to
Vacuum Pump Output—Diesel Engine in 9, Engines.
(3) If vacuum pump output is OK, determine other
source of leak. Check all vacuum lines to: speed control servo, engine vacuum pump and heating/air conditioning system for leaks.
(4) Verify operation of one-way check valve and
check it for leaks.
(a) Locate one-way check valve. The valve is
located in vacuum line between speed control servo
and engine vacuum pump. Disconnect vacuum
hoses (lines) at each end of valve.
(b) Connect a hand-operated vacuum pump to
reservoir end of check valve. Apply vacuum. Vacuum should not bleed off. If vacuum is being lost,
replace one-way check valve.
(c) Connect a hand-operated vacuum pump to
vacuum source end of check valve. Apply vacuum.
Vacuum should flow through valve. If vacuum is
not flowing, replace one-way check valve. Seal the
fitting at opposite end of valve with a finger and
apply vacuum. If vacuum will not hold, diaphragm
within check valve has ruptured. Replace valve.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - ROAD TEST
Perform a vehicle road test to verify reports of
speed control system malfunction. The road test
should include attention to the speedometer.
If a road test verifies a system problem and the
speedometer operates properly, check for:
• A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC). If a DTC
exists, conduct tests per the Powertrain Diagnostic
Procedures service manual.
• A misadjusted brake (stop) lamp switch. This
could also cause an intermittent problem.
• Loose, damaged or corroded electrical connections at the servo. Corrosion should be removed from
electrical terminals and a light coating of Mopart
MultiPurpose 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 control 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 continuity at electrical connectors, care must be taken
not to damage connector, terminals or seals. If
these components are damaged, intermittent or
complete system failure may occur.

SPEED CONTROL SERVO

A speed control servo is not used if equipped
with both a diesel engine and a manual transmission.
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) controls the
solenoid valve body. The solenoid valve body controls
the application and release of vacuum to the diaphragm of the vacuum servo. The servo unit cannot
be repaired and is serviced only as a complete assembly.
Power is supplied to the servo’s by the PCM
through the brake switch. The PCM controls the
ground path for the vacuum and vent solenoids.
The dump solenoid is energized anytime it receives
power. If power to the dump solenoid is interrupted,
the solenoid dumps vacuum in the servo. This provides a safety backup to the vent and vacuum solenoids.
The vacuum and vent solenoids must be grounded
at the PCM to operate. When the PCM grounds the
vacuum servo solenoid, the solenoid allows vacuum
to enter the servo and pull open the throttle plate
using the cable. When the PCM breaks the ground,
the solenoid closes and no more vacuum is allowed to
enter the servo. The PCM also operates the vent solenoid via ground. The vent solenoid opens and closes a
passage to bleed or hold vacuum in the servo as
required.
The PCM duty cycles the vacuum and vent solenoids to maintain the set speed, or to accelerate and
decelerate the vehicle. To increase throttle opening,
the PCM grounds the vacuum and vent solenoids. To
decrease throttle opening, the PCM removes the
grounds from the vacuum and vent solenoids. When
the brake is released, if vehicle speed exceeds 30
mph to resume, 35 mph to set, and the RES/ACCEL
switch has been depressed, ground for the vent and
vacuum circuits is restored.

SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
Gas Engines and Diesel With Auto. Trans.
There are two separate switch pods that operate
the speed control system. The steering-wheelmounted switches use multiplexed circuits to provide

inputs to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) for
ON, OFF, RESUME, ACCELERATE, SET, DECEL
and CANCEL modes. Refer to the owner’s manual for
more information on speed control switch functions
and setting procedures.
The individual switches cannot be repaired. If one
switch fails, the entire switch module must be
replaced.

OPERATION
Gas Engines and Diesel With Auto. Trans.
When speed control is selected by depressing the
ON, OFF switch, the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) allows a set speed to be stored in its RAM for
speed control. To store a set speed, depress the SET
switch while the vehicle is moving at a speed
between approximately 35 and 85 mph. In order for
the speed control to engage, the brakes cannot be
applied, nor can the gear selector be indicating the
transmission is in Park or Neutral.
The speed control can be disengaged manually by:
• Stepping on the brake pedal.
• Depressing the OFF switch.
• Depressing the CANCEL switch.
The speed control can be disengaged also by any of
the following conditions:
• An indication of Park or Neutral.
• The vehicle speed signal increases at a rate of
10 mph per second (indicates that the co-efficient of
friction between the road surface and tires is
extremely low).
• Depressing the clutch pedal.
• Excessive engine rpm (indicates that the transmission may be in a low gear).
• The vehicle speed signal decreases at a rate of
10 mph per second (indicates that the vehicle may
have decelerated at an extremely high rate).
• If the actual speed is not within 20 mph of the
set speed.
The previous disengagement conditions are programmed for added safety.

Once the speed control has been disengaged,
depressing the ACCEL switch restores the vehicle to
the target speed that was stored in the PCM’s RAM.
NOTE: Depressing the OFF switch will erase the set
speed stored in the PCM’s RAM.
If, while the speed control is engaged, the driver
wishes to increase vehicle speed, the PCM is programmed for an acceleration feature. With the
ACCEL switch held closed, the vehicle accelerates
slowly to the desired speed. The new target speed is
stored in the PCM’s RAM when the ACCEL switch is
released. The PCM also has a 9tap-up9 feature in
which vehicle speed increases at a rate of approximately 2 mph for each momentary switch activation
of the ACCEL switch.
The PCM also provides a means to decelerate without disengaging speed control. To decelerate from an
existing recorded target speed, depress and hold the
COAST switch until the desired speed is reached.
Then release the switch. The ON, OFF switch operates two components: the PCM’s ON, OFF input, and
the battery voltage to the brake switch, which powers
the speed control servo.

VACUUM RESERVOIR
DESCRIPTION
Gasoline Powered Engines : A vacuum reservoir
is used to supply the vacuum needed to maintain
proper speed control operation when engine vacuum
drops, such as in climbing a grade while driving. A
one-way check valve is used in the vacuum line
between the reservoir and the vacuum source. This
check valve is used to trap engine vacuum in the reservoir. On certain vehicle applications, this reservoir
is shared with the heating/air-conditioning system.
The vacuum reservoir cannot be repaired and must
be replaced if faulty.

VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY
DESCRIPTION
The Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS) is an
available factory-installed option on this model when
it is also equipped with the high-line or premium
Central Timer Module (CTM). The VTSS is designed
to provide perimeter protection against unauthorized
use or tampering by monitoring the vehicle doors and
the ignition system. If unauthorized vehicle use or
tampering is detected, the system responds by pulsing the horn, flashing the headlamps, and preventing
the engine from operating.
The VTSS includes the following major components, which are described in further detail elsewhere in this service manual:
• Central Timer Module - The high-line or premium Central Timer Module (CTM) is located under
the driver side end of the instrument panel, inboard
of the instrument panel steering column opening.
The high-line or premium CTM contains a microprocessor and software that allow it to provide many
electronic functions and features not available with
base version of the CTM, including the VTSS. The
CTM provides all of the proper VTSS features and
outputs based upon the monitored inputs. The CTM
circuitry monitors hard wired switch inputs, as well
as message inputs received from other vehicle electronic modules over the Chrysler Collision Detection
(CCD) data bus network. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES/BODY CONTROL/CENTRAL
TIMER
MODULE
DESCRIPTION).
• Door Ajar Switch - A door ajar switch is
located on the hinge pillar of each front door in the
vehicle. These switches provide an input to the VTSS
indicating whether the door is opened or closed.
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/LAMPS/LIGHTING INTERIOR/DOOR AJAR SWITCH - DESCRIPTION).
• Door Cylinder Lock Switch - A door cylinder
lock switch is located on the back of each front door
lock cylinder. This switch provides an input to the

VTSS indicating whether the system should remain
armed or be disarmed. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
POWER LOCKS/DOOR CYLINDER LOCK SWITCH
- DESCRIPTION).
• Horn Relay - The horn relay is located in the
Power Distribution Center (PDC) in the engine compartment near the battery. The horn relay is normally activated by the horn switch to control the
sounding of the vehicle horn or horns. However, it
can also be activated by an output of the Central
Timer Module (CTM) to provide an audible indication
that unauthorized vehicle use or tampering has been
detected. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/HORN/HORN
RELAY - DESCRIPTION).
• Headlamp Relay - The headlamp relay (also
known as the security relay) is located in the Power
Distribution Center (PDC) in the engine compartment near the battery. The headlamp relay is normally activated by the Central Timer Module (CTM)
based upon inputs from the Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) panic mode feature. However, it can also be
activated by an output of the CTM to flash the headlamp low beams to provide a highly visible indication
that unauthorized vehicle use or tampering has been
detected. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/LAMPS/LIGHTING - EXTERIOR/HEADLAMP RELAY - DESCRIPTION).
• VTSS Indicator - A red Light Emitting Diode
(LED) located on the lower surface of the overhead
console near the windshield is illuminated by an output of the Central Timer Module (CTM) to indicate
the status of the VTSS. This LED is integral to the
electronic circuit board for the Compass Mini-Trip
Computer (CMTC). (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
OVERHEAD
CONSOLE/COMPASS/MINI-TRIP
COMPUTER - DESCRIPTION).
The engine no-run feature of the VTSS relies upon
communication between the high-line or premium
CTM and the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) over
the Chrysler Collision Detection (CCD) data bus network.

VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY (Continued)
Hard wired circuitry connects many of the VTSS
components to each other through the electrical system of the vehicle. These hard wired circuits are
integral to several wire harnesses, which are routed
throughout the vehicle and retained by many different methods. These circuits may be connected to each
other, to the vehicle electrical system and to the
VTSS components through the use of a combination
of soldered splices, splice block connectors, and many
different types of wire harness terminal connectors
and insulators. Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector repair procedures,
further details on wire harness routing and retention, as well as pin-out and location views for the
various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.

OPERATION
A Central Timer Module (CTM) is used on this
model to control and integrate many of the electronic
functions and features included in the Vehicle Theft
Security System (VTSS). In the VTSS, the CTM
receives inputs indicating the status of the door ajar
switches, the door cylinder lock switch, and the ignition switch. The programming in the CTM allows it
to process the information from all of these inputs
and send control outputs to energize or de-energize
the horn relay, the headlamp relay, and the VTSS
indicator. The control of these inputs and outputs are
what constitute all of the features of the VTSS. Following is information on the operation of each of the
VTSS features. Refer to the owner’s manual in the
vehicle glove box for more information on the features, use and operation of the VTSS.
ENABLING
The high-line or premium version of the CTM must
have the VTSS function electronically enabled in
order for the VTSS to perform as designed. The logic
in the CTM keeps its VTSS function dormant until it
is enabled using a DRBIIIt scan tool. The VTSS
function of the high-line or premium CTM is enabled
on vehicles equipped with the VTSS option at the
factory, but a service replacement CTM must be
VTSS-enabled by the dealer using a DRBIIIt scan
tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
The VTSS engine no-run feature is disabled when
it is shipped from the factory. This is done by programming within the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). The logic in the PCM prevents the VTSS
engine no-run feature from arming until the engine
start counter within the PCM sees twenty engine

starts. The VTSS no-run feature must be enabled by
the dealer when the vehicle is received from the
assembly plant. Once the VTSS engine no-run feature has been enabled, it cannot be disabled unless
the PCM is replaced with a new unit. The same
VTSS engine no-run feature enable logic will apply
anytime the PCM is replaced with a new unit.
ARMING
Passive arming of the VTSS occurs when the vehicle is exited with the key removed from the ignition
switch, the headlamps are turned off, and the doors
are locked while they are open using the power lock
switch, or locked after they are closed by turning
either front door lock cylinder to the lock position
using the key. The power lock switch will not function if the key is in the ignition switch or the headlamps are turned on with the driver side front door
open. The VTSS will not arm if the doors are locked
using the mechanical lock button. Active arming of
the VTSS occurs when the “Lock” button on the
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter is
depressed to lock the vehicle. For active arming to
occur, the doors must be closed and the ignition
switch must be in the Off position when the RKE
transmitter “Lock” button is depressed. However,
once the VTSS arming process has been completed,
the ignition switch can be turned to the Accessory
position without triggering the alarm.
Once the VTSS begins passive or active arming,
the security indicator lamp in the overhead console
will flash rapidly for about fifteen seconds. This indicates that the VTSS arming is in progress. Turning a
key in the ignition switch, opening a door, or unlocking a door by any means during the fifteen second
arming process will cause the VTSS indicator to stop
flashing and the arming process to abort. Once the
fifteen second arming function is successfully completed, the indicator will flash at a slower rate, indicating that the VTSS is armed.
DISARMING
Passive disarming of the VTSS occurs when the
vehicle is unlocked using the key to unlock either
front door. Active disarming of the VTSS occurs when
the vehicle is unlocked by depressing the “Unlock”
button of the RKE transmitter. Once the alarm has
been activated (horn pulsing, headlamps flashing,
and the engine no-run feature), either disarming
method will also deactivate the alarm. Depressing
the “Panic” button on the RKE transmitter will not
disarm the VTSS.

VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY (Continued)
POWER-UP MODE
When the armed VTSS senses that the battery has
been disconnected and reconnected, it enters its power-up mode. In the power-up mode the alarm system
remains armed following a battery failure or disconnect. If the VTSS was armed prior to a battery disconnect or failure, the technician or vehicle operator
will have to actively or passively disarm the alarm
system after the battery is reconnected. The power-up mode will also apply if the battery goes dead
while the system is armed, and battery jump-starting
is attempted. The engine no-run feature will prevent
the engine from starting until the alarm system has
been actively or passively disarmed. The VTSS will
be armed until the technician or vehicle operator has
actively or passively disarmed the alarm system. If
the VTSS is in the disarmed mode prior to a battery
disconnect or failure, it will remain disarmed after
the battery is reconnected or replaced, or if jumpstarting is attempted.
TAMPER ALERT
The VTSS tamper alert feature will sound the horn
three times upon disarming, if the alarm was triggered and has since timed-out (about fifteen minutes). This feature alerts the vehicle operator that
the VTSS alarm was activated while the vehicle was
unattended.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - VEHICLE THEFT
SECURITY SYSTEM
The VTSS-related hard wired inputs to and outputs from the high-line or premium Central Timer
Module (CTM) may be diagnosed and tested using
conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer
to the appropriate wiring information. The wiring
information includes wiring diagrams, proper wire
and connector repair procedures, further details on
wire harness routing and retention, as well as pinout and location views for the various wire harness
connectors, splices and grounds.
However, conventional diagnostic methods may not
prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the CTM, the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM), or the Chrysler
Collision Detection (CCD) data bus network. In order
to obtain conclusive testing of the VTSS, the CTM,
the PCM, and the CCD data bus network must also
be checked. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate
means to diagnose the VTSS requires the use of a
DRBIIIt scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information. The DRBIIIt scan tool can provide
confirmation that the CCD data bus network is functional, that all of the electronic modules are sending
and receiving the proper messages over the CCD
data bus, and that these modules are receiving the
proper hard wired inputs and responding with the

proper hard wired outputs needed to perform their
functions. See the “Vehicle Theft Security System”
menu item on the DRBIIIt scan tool.

INJURY.

VTSS INDICATOR
DESCRIPTION
The Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS) indicator consists of a red Light-Emitting Diode (LED)
located on the electronic circuit board of the Compass
Mini-Trip Computer (CMTC) within the overhead
console. The LED extends through a hole in the
CMTC lens located near the forward end of the overhead console housing near the windshield.
The VTSS indicator cannot be adjusted or repaired
and, if faulty or damaged, the entire CMTC unit
must be replaced. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/OVERHEAD
CONSOLE/COMPASS/MINI-TRIP
COMPUTER - DESCRIPTION).

OPERATION
The Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS) indicator gives a visible indication of the VTSS arming status. One side of Light-Emitting Diode (LED) in the
VTSS indicator is connected to battery current
through a fused B(+) circuit and a fuse in the Junction Block (JB), so the indicator remains functional
regardless of the ignition switch position. The other
side of the LED is hard wired to the Central Timer
Module (CTM), which controls the operation of the
VTSS indicator by pulling this side of the LED circuit to ground. When the VTSS arming is in
progress, the CTM will flash the LED rapidly on and
off for about fifteen seconds. When the VTSS has
been successfully armed, the CTM will flash the LED
on and off continually at a much slower rate until
the VTSS has been disarmed. The VTSS indicator
can be diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools
and methods.

contains all of the switches for both the wiper and
washer systems.
• Washer Fluid Level Switch - The washer fluid
level switch is located in a dedicated hole on the
lower rear side of the washer reservoir, above the
washer pump/motor unit near the left front corner of
the engine compartment.
• Washer Nozzles - The dual fluidic washer nozzles are secured with integral snap features to dedicated openings in the cowl plenum cover/grille panel
located near the base of the windshield. The washer
plumbing fittings for the washer nozzles are concealed beneath the cowl plenum cover/grille panel.
• Washer Pump/Motor - The washer pump/motor unit is located in a dedicated hole on the lower
rear side of the washer reservoir near the left front
corner of the engine compartment.
• Washer Reservoir - The washer reservoir is
secured to the left side of the radiator fan shroud in
the left front corner of the engine compartment.
• Wiper Arms - The two wiper arms are secured
to the two wiper pivots, which extend through the
cowl plenum cover/grille panel located near the base
of the windshield.
• Wiper Blades - The two wiper blades are
secured to the two wiper arms, and are parked on
the glass near the bottom of the windshield when the
wiper system is not in operation.
• Wiper Module - The wiper pivots are the only
visible components of the wiper module. The remainder of the module is concealed within the cowl plenum beneath the cowl plenum cover/grille panel. The
wiper module includes the module bracket, the single
wiper motor, the wiper linkage, and the two wiper
pivots.
• Wiper Relay - The wiper relay is located in the
Power Distribution Center (PDC) in the engine compartment near the battery.
Features of the wiper and washer system include
the following:
• Continuous Wipe Modes - The two-speed
wiper motor and the internal circuitry of the multifunction switch work in concert to provide two continuous wipe cycles, low speed or high speed.
• Intermittent Wipe Mode - The internal circuitry of the multi-function switch, the CTM, and the
wiper relay work in concert to provide an intermittent wipe mode with multiple delay interval selections. On models with a high-line or premium CTM,
the CTM also automatically adjusts each manually
selected delay interval to compensate for vehicle
speed.
• Washer Mode - When the washer system is
activated with the multi-function switch while the
wiper system is operating, washer fluid will be dispensed onto the windshield glass through the washer

nozzles for as long as the washer pump/motor is
energized.
• Wipe-After-Wash Mode - The internal circuitry
of the CTM provides a wipe-after-wash feature
which, if the wipers are turned Off, will operate the
washer pump/motor and the wipers for as long as the
washer system is activated, then provide several
additional wipe cycles after the washer system is
deactivated before parking the wiper blades near the
base of the windshield.
Hard wired circuitry connects the wiper and
washer system components to the electrical system of
the vehicle. These hard wired circuits are integral to
several wire harnesses, which are routed throughout
the vehicle and retained by many different methods.
These circuits may be connected to each other, to the
vehicle electrical system and to the wiper and washer
system components through the use of a combination
of soldered splices, splice block connectors, and many
different types of wire harness terminal connectors
and insulators. Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector repair procedures,
further details on wire harness routing and retention, as well as pin-out and location views for the
various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.

OPERATION
The wiper and washer system is intended to provide the vehicle operator with a convenient, safe, and
reliable means of maintaining visibility through the
windshield glass. The various components of this system are designed to convert electrical energy produced by the vehicle electrical system into the
mechanical action of the wiper blades to wipe the
outside surface of the glass, as well as into the
hydraulic action of the washer system to apply
washer fluid stored in an on-board reservoir to the
area of the glass to be wiped. When combined, these
components provide the means to effectively maintain clear visibility for the vehicle operator by removing excess accumulations of rain, snow, bugs, mud, or
other minor debris from the outside windshield glass
surface that might be encountered while driving the
vehicle under numerous types of inclement operating
conditions. The vehicle operator initiates all wiper
and washer system functions with the multi-function
switch control stalk that extends from the left side of
the steering column, just below the steering wheel.
Rotating the knob on the end of the multi-function
switch control stalk selects the desired wiper system
operating mode. The wiper system allows the vehicle
operator to select from two continuous wiper speeds,
Hi or Lo, or one of several intermittent wipe Delay
mode intervals. Pushing the button on the end of the
control stalk downwards towards the steering column

activates the washer pump/motor, which dispenses
washer fluid onto the windshield glass through the
washer nozzles.
When the ignition switch is in the Accessory or On
positions, battery current from a fuse in the Junction
Block (JB) is provided through a fused ignition
switch output (run-acc) circuit to the wiper motor
park switch, the wiper relay, and the multi-function
switch. The internal circuitry of the multi-function
switch provides a direct hard wired battery current
output to the low speed or high speed brushes of the
wiper motor when the Lo or Hi switch setting is
selected, which causes the wipers to cycle at the
selected speed. The intermittent wipe, and wipe-after-wash features of the wiper and washer system
are provided by the electronic intermittent wipe logic
circuit within the Central Timer Module (CTM). In
order to provide the intermittent wipe feature, the
CTM monitors the wiper switch state and the wiper
motor park switch state. In order to provide the
wipe-after-wash feature, the CTM monitors both the
washer switch state and the wiper motor park switch
state. When a Delay position is selected with the
multi-function switch control knob, the CTM logic circuit responds by calculating the correct delay interval. The CTM then energizes the wiper relay by
pulling the relay control coil to ground. The energized wiper relay directs battery current through the
normally open contact of the relay back through the
internal circuitry of the multi-function switch to the
low speed brush of the wiper motor. The CTM monitors the wiper motor operation through the wiper
park switch sense circuit, which allows the CTM to
determine the proper timing to begin the next wiper
blade sweep. The normal delay intervals are driver
adjustable from about one-half second to about eighteen seconds.
The high-line and premium CTM also provides a
speed sensitive intermittent wipe feature. By monitoring vehicle speed messages received from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) over the Chrysler
Collision Detection (CCD) data bus network, the
high-line or premium CTM is able to adjust the delay
intervals to compensate for vehicle speed. Above
about sixteen kilometers-per-hour (ten miles-perhour) the delay is driver adjustable from about onehalf second to about eighteen seconds. Below about
sixteen kilometers-per-hour (ten miles-per-hour) the
delay times are doubled by the CTM, from about one
second to about thirty-six seconds.
When the Off position of the multi-function switch
wiper control knob is selected, one of two events is
possible. The event that will occur depends upon the
position of the wiper blades on the windshield at the
moment that the Off position is selected. If the wiper
blades are in the down position on the windshield

when the Off position is selected, the park switch
that is integral to the wiper motor is closed to ground
and the wiper motor ceases to operate. If the wiper
blades are not in the down position on the windshield
at the moment the Off position is selected, the park
switch is closed to battery current through a fused
ignition switch output (run-acc) circuit. The park
switch sense circuit directs this battery current to
the low speed brush of the wiper motor through the
normally closed contact of the wiper relay and the
internal Off position circuitry of the multi-function
switch. This causes the wiper motor to continue running until the wiper blades are in the down position
on the windshield and the park switch is again
closed to ground.
When the Wash position of the multi-function
switch is selected, the Wash position circuitry within
the switch directs battery current to the washer
pump/motor. The CTM monitors the washer switch
state through a washer switch sense input. When the
washer switch is closed with the wiper system turned
Off, the CTM operates the wiper motor through the
wiper relay in the same manner as it does to provide
the Delay mode operation. After the state of the
washer switch changes to open, the CTM monitors
the wiper motor through the wiper park switch sense
circuit, which allows the CTM to monitor the number
of wiper blade sweeps.
Proper testing of the CTM, the PCM, or the CCD
data bus vehicle speed messages requires a DRBIIIt
scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information. Refer to the owner’s manual in the vehicle
glove box for more information on the features and
operation of the wiper and washer system.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIPER &
WASHER SYSTEM
WIPER SYSTEM
The diagnosis found here addresses an electrically
inoperative wiper system. If the wiper motor operates, but the wipers do not move on the windshield,
replace the faulty wiper module. If the wipers operate, but chatter, lift, or do not clear the glass, clean
and inspect the wiper system components as
required. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/WIPERS/
WASHERS - INSPECTION) and (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/WIPERS/WASHERS - CLEANING). Refer to
the appropriate wiring information. The wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and
connector repair procedures, details of wire harness
routing and retention, connector pin-out information
and location views for the various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.
The following tests will help to diagnose the hard
wired components and circuits of the wiper system.

However, these tests may not prove conclusive in the
diagnosis of this system on models equipped with a
high-line or premium Central Timer Module (CTM).
In order to obtain conclusive testing of the wiper system on models with a high-line or premium CTM, the
Chrysler Collision Detection (CCD) data bus network
and all of the electronic modules that provide inputs
to or receive outputs from the wiper system components must be checked. The most reliable, efficient,
and accurate means to diagnose the wiper system on
models with a high-line or premium CTM requires
the use of a DRBIIIt scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information. The DRBIIIt scan tool
can provide confirmation that the CCD data bus is
functional, that all of the electronic modules are
sending and receiving the proper messages on the
CCD data bus, and that the wiper relay is being sent
the proper hard wired outputs by the CTM for it to
perform its wiper system functions.

CLEANING - WIPER & WASHER SYSTEM
WIPER SYSTEM
The squeegees of wiper blades exposed to the elements for a long time tend to lose their wiping effectiveness. Periodic cleaning of the squeegees is
suggested to remove any deposits of salt or road film.
The wiper blades, arms, and windshield glass should
only be cleaned using a sponge or soft cloth and
windshield washer fluid, a mild detergent, or a nonabrasive cleaner. If the wiper blades continue to
leave streaks, smears, hazing, or beading on the
glass after thorough cleaning of the squeegees and
the glass, the entire wiper blade assembly must be
replaced.
CAUTION: Protect the rubber squeegees of the
wiper blades from any petroleum-based cleaners,
solvents, or contaminants. These products can rapidly deteriorate the rubber squeegees.
WASHER SYSTEM
If the washer system is contaminated with foreign
material, drain the washer reservoir by removing the
front washer pump/motor from the reservoir. Clean
foreign material from the inside of the washer reservoir using clean washer fluid, a mild detergent, or a
non-abrasive cleaner. Flush foreign material from the
washer system plumbing by first disconnecting the
washer hoses from the washer nozzles, then running
the washer pump/motor to run clean washer fluid or
water through the system. Plugged or restricted
washer nozzles should be carefully back-flushed
using compressed air. If the washer nozzle obstruction cannot be cleared, replace the washer nozzle.
CAUTION: Never introduce petroleum-based cleaners, solvents, or contaminants into the washer system. These products can rapidly deteriorate the
rubber seals and hoses of the washer system, as
well as the rubber squeegees of the wiper blades.

CAUTION: Never use compressed air to flush the
washer system plumbing. Compressed air pressures are too great for the washer system plumbing
components and will result in further system damage. Never use sharp instruments to clear a
plugged washer nozzle or damage to the nozzle orifice and improper nozzle spray patterns will result.

INSPECTION - WIPER & WASHER SYSTEM
WIPER SYSTEM
The wiper blades and wiper arms should be
inspected periodically, not just when wiper performance problems are experienced. This inspection
should include the following points:
(1) Inspect the wiper arms for any indications of
damage, or contamination. If the wiper arms are contaminated with any foreign material, clean them as
required. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/WIPERS/
WASHERS - CLEANING). If a wiper arm is damaged
or corrosion is evident, replace the wiper arm with a
new unit. Do not attempt to repair a wiper arm that
is damaged or corroded.
(2) Carefully lift the wiper blade off of the glass.
Note the action of the wiper arm hinge. The wiper
arm should pivot freely at the hinge, but with no lateral looseness evident. If there is any binding evident
in the wiper arm hinge, or there is evident lateral
play in the wiper arm hinge, replace the wiper arm.
CAUTION: Do not allow the wiper arm to spring
back against the glass without the wiper blade in
place or the glass may be damaged.
(3) Once proper hinge action of the wiper arm is
confirmed, check the hinge for proper spring tension.
Remove the wiper blade from the wiper arm. Either
place a small postal scale between the blade end of
the wiper arm and the glass, or carefully lift the
blade end of the arm away from the glass using a
small fish scale. Compare the scale readings between
the right and left wiper arms. Replace a wiper arm if
it has comparatively lower spring tension, as evidenced by a lower scale reading.
(4) Inspect the wiper blades and squeegees for any
indications of damage, contamination, or rubber deterioration (Fig. 1). If the wiper blades or squeegees
are contaminated with any foreign material, clean
them and the glass as required. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/WIPERS/WASHERS - CLEANING). After
cleaning the wiper blade and the glass, if the wiper
blade still fails to clear the glass without smearing,
streaking, chattering, hazing, or beading, replace the
wiper blade. Also, if a wiper blade is damaged or the
squeegee rubber is damaged or deteriorated, replace

WASHER FLUID LEVEL
SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The washer fluid level switch is a single pole, single throw reed-type switch mounted on the rear of
the washer reservoir above the washer pump/motor,
in the left front corner of the engine compartment.
Only the molded plastic switch mounting flange and
connector receptacle are visible when the switch is
installed in the reservoir. A short nipple formation
extends from the inner surface of the switch mounting flange, and a barb on the nipple near the switch
mounting flange is press-fit into a rubber grommet
seal installed in the mounting hole of the reservoir. A
small plastic float pivots on the end of a bracket that
extends from the switch nipple formation. Within the
float is a small magnet, which actuates the reed
switch. The washer fluid level switch cannot be
adjusted or repaired. If faulty or damaged, the switch
must be replaced.

WASHER SYSTEM
The washer system components should be
inspected periodically, not just when washer performance problems are experienced. This inspection
should include the following points:
(1) Check for ice or other foreign material in the
washer reservoir. If contaminated, clean and flush
the washer system. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/WIPERS/WASHERS - CLEANING).
(2) Inspect the washer plumbing for pinched, leaking, deteriorated, or incorrectly routed hoses and
damaged or disconnected hose fittings. Replace damaged or deteriorated hoses and hose fittings. Leaking
washer hoses can sometimes be repaired by cutting
the hose at the leak and splicing it back together
using an in-line connector fitting. Similarly, sections
of deteriorated hose can be cut out and replaced by
splicing in new sections of hose using in-line connector fittings. Whenever routing a washer hose or a
wire harness containing a washer hose, it must be
routed away from hot, sharp, or moving parts. Also,

The washer fluid level switch uses a pivoting,
oblong float to monitor the level of the washer fluid
in the washer reservoir. The float contains a small
magnet. When the float pivots, the changing proximity of its magnetic field will cause the contacts of the
small, stationary reed switch to open or close. When
the fluid level in the washer reservoir is at or above
the float level, the float moves to a vertical position
and the switch contacts open. When the fluid level in
the washer reservoir falls below the pivoting float,
the float moves to a horizontal position and the
switch contacts close. The switch contacts are connected in series between ground and the washer fluid
switch sense input of the instrument cluster. The
switch is connected to the vehicle electrical system
through a dedicated take out and connector of the
headlamp and dash wire harness. The switch
receives ground through another take out of the
headlamp and dash wire harness with a single eyelet
terminal connector that is secured under a nut to a
ground stud located on the front extension of the left
front wheel housing in the engine compartment. The
washer fluid level switch can be diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and methods. (Refer to 8 ELECTRICAL/INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/WASHER

The washer plumbing consists of a small diameter
rubber hose that is routed from the barbed outlet
nipple of the washer pump/motor on the washer reservoir through the engine compartment along the left
inner fender shield to a molded plastic in-line fitting
with barbed nipples near the dash panel. A second
section of washer hose passes from the engine compartment into the cowl plenum area through a dedicated hole with a rubber grommet near the left end
of the cowl plenum panel. Beneath the cowl plenum
cover/grille panel, a molded plastic wye fitting with
barbed nipples joins the engine compartment hose to
the two washer nozzle hoses. The two washer hoses
are routed through locating clips on the underside of
the cowl plenum cover/grille panel to the two washer
nozzles.
Washer hose is available for service only as roll
stock, which must then be cut to length. The molded
plastic washer hose fittings cannot be repaired. If
these fittings are faulty or damaged, they must be
replaced.

OPERATION
Washer fluid in the washer reservoir is pressurized
and fed by the washer pump/motor through the
washer system plumbing and fittings to the two
washer nozzles. Whenever routing the washer hose
or a wire harness containing a washer hose, it must

WIPERS/WASHERS

be routed away from hot, sharp, or moving parts;
and, sharp bends that might pinch the hose must be
avoided.

WASHER NOZZLE
DESCRIPTION
The two washer nozzles have integral snap features that secure them in dedicated holes in the cowl
plenum cover/grille panel located near the base of the
windshield. The domed upper surface of the washer
nozzle is visible on the top of the plenum cover/grille
panel, and the nozzle orifice is oriented towards the
windshield glass. The washer plumbing fittings for
the washer nozzles are concealed beneath the cowl
plenum cover/grille panel. These fluidic washer nozzles are constructed of molded plastic. The cowl plenum cover/grille panel must be removed from the
vehicle to access the nozzles for service. The washer
nozzles cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if faulty
or damaged, they must be replaced.

OPERATION
The two washer nozzles are designed to dispense
washer fluid into the wiper pattern area on the outside of the windshield glass. Pressurized washer fluid
is fed to each nozzle from the washer reservoir by the
washer pump/motor through rubber hoses, which are
attached to a barbed nipple on each washer nozzle
below the cowl plenum cover/grille panel. The washer
nozzles incorporate a fluidic design, which causes the
nozzle to emit the pressurized washer fluid as an
oscillating stream to more effectively cover a larger
area of the glass area to be cleaned.

REMOVAL
(1) Remove the cowl plenum cover/grille panel
from the cowl top. (Refer to 23 - BODY/EXTERIOR/
COWL GRILLE - REMOVAL).
(2) From the underside of the cowl plenum cover/
grille panel, disconnect the washer hose from the
nozzle fitting.
(3) From the underside of the cowl plenum cover/
grille panel, compress the snap features of the
washer nozzle and push the nozzle out through the
top of the panel.

INSTALLATION
(1) From the top of the cowl plenum cover/grille
panel, insert the barbed nipple of the washer nozzle
through the nozzle mounting hole.
(2) With the orifice of the washer nozzle oriented
toward the windshield, use hand pressure to push
the nozzle into the mounting hole until the snap fea-

tures of the nozzle are fully engaged with the underside of the cowl plenum cover/grille panel.
(3) From the underside of the cowl plenum cover/
grille panel, reconnect the washer hose to the washer
nozzle fitting.
(4) Reinstall the cowl plenum cover/grille panel
onto the cowl top. (Refer to 23 - BODY/EXTERIOR/
COWL GRILLE - INSTALLATION).

WASHER PUMP/MOTOR
DESCRIPTION
The washer pump/motor unit is located on the rear
of the washer reservoir, near the bottom in the left
front corner of the engine compartment. A small permanently lubricated and sealed electric motor is coupled to the rotor-type washer pump. A seal flange
with a large barbed inlet nipple on the pump housing
passes through a rubber grommet seal installed in
the dedicated mounting hole near the bottom of the
washer reservoir. A smaller barbed outlet nipple on
the pump housing connects the unit to the washer
hose. The washer pump/motor unit is retained on the
reservoir by the interference fit between the barbed
pump inlet nipple and the grommet seal, which is a
light press fit. An integral electrical connector receptacle is located on the motor housing. The washer
pump/motor unit cannot be repaired. If faulty or
damaged, the entire washer pump/motor unit must
be replaced.

OPERATION
The washer pump/motor unit is connected to the
vehicle electrical system through a single take out
and two-cavity connector of the headlamp and dash
wire harness. The washer pump/motor is grounded at
all times through a take out of the headlamp and
dash wire harness with a single eyelet terminal connector that is secured by a nut to a ground stud
located on the forward extension of the left front
fender wheel housing in the engine compartment.
The washer pump/motor receives battery current on
a fused ignition switch output (run-acc) circuit
through the closed contacts of the momentary washer
switch within the multi-function switch only when
the washer button on the end of the switch control
stalk is depressed towards the steering column.
Washer fluid is gravity-fed from the washer reservoir
to the inlet side of the washer pump. When the pump
motor is energized, the rotor-type pump pressurizes
the washer fluid and forces it through the pump outlet nipple, the washer plumbing, and the washer nozzles onto the windshield glass.

The molded plastic washer fluid reservoir is
secured with integral mounting tabs to keyed slots
on the left side of the radiator fan shroud in the left
front corner of the engine compartment. A bright yellow plastic filler cap with a rubber seal and an International Control and Display Symbol icon for
“Windshield Washer” and the text “Washer Fluid
Only” molded into it snaps over the open end of the
filler neck. A bail strap that is integral to the cap
secures the cap to the reservoir filler neck when it is
removed for inspecting or adjusting the fluid level in
the reservoir. There are separate, dedicated holes on
the rear side of the reservoir provided for the mounting of the washer/pump motor unit and the washer
fluid level switch.
The washer reservoir cannot be repaired and, if
faulty or damaged, it must be replaced. The washer
reservoir, the grommet seals for the washer pump/
motor unit and the washer fluid level switch, and the
filler cap are each available for service replacement.

OPERATION
The washer fluid reservoir provides a secure,
on-vehicle storage location for a large reserve of
washer fluid for operation of the washer system. The
washer reservoir filler neck provides a clearly
marked and readily accessible point from which to
add washer fluid to the reservoir. The washer/pump
motor unit is located in a sump area near the bottom
of the reservoir to be certain that washer fluid will
be available to the pump as the fluid level in the reservoir becomes depleted. The washer fluid level
switch is mounted just above the sump area of the
reservoir so that there will be adequate warning to
the vehicle operator that the washer fluid level is
low, before the washer system will no longer operate.

The wiper arms are the rigid members located
between the wiper pivots that protrude from the cowl
plenum cover/grille panel near the base of the windshield and the wiper blades on the windshield glass.
The wiper arm has a die cast metal pivot end. On the
underside of this pivot end is a socket formation with
internal serrations and a small, movable, stamped
steel latch plate that is secured loosely under a small
strap that is staked to the pivot end. The wide end of
a tapered, stamped steel channel hinges on and is
secured with a hinge pin to the pivot end of the
wiper arm. One end of a long, rigid, stamped steel
strap, with a small hole near its pivot end, is riveted
and crimped within the narrow end of the stamped
steel channel. The tip of the wiper blade end of this
strap is bent back under itself to form a small hook.
Concealed within the stamped steel channel, one end
of a long spring is hooked through a hole in a small
stamped steel strap on the hinge pin within the die
cast pivot end, while the other end of the spring is
hooked through the small hole in the steel strap. The
entire wiper arm has a satin black finish applied to
all of its visible surfaces.
A wiper arm cannot be adjusted or repaired. If
damaged or faulty, the entire wiper arm unit must be
replaced.

OPERATION
The wiper arms are designed to mechanically
transmit the motion from the wiper pivots to the
wiper blades. The wiper arm must be properly
indexed to the wiper pivot in order to maintain the

proper wiper blade travel on the glass. The socket
formation with internal serrations in the wiper arm
pivot end interlocks with the serrations on the outer
circumference of the wiper pivot driver, allowing positive engagement and finite adjustment of this connection. The latch plate on the underside of the
wiper arm pivot end locks the wiper arm to the wiper
pivot when in its installed position and, when in its
unlocked position, also serves as a blocker to hold the
spring-loaded wiper arm off of the glass to facilitate
removal and installation. The spring-loaded wiper
arm hinge controls the down-force applied through
the tip of the wiper arm to the wiper blade on the
glass. The hook formation on the tip of the wiper arm
provides a cradle for securing and latching the wiper
blade pivot block to the wiper arm.

Off position. The wiper motor is now in its park
position.
(1) The wiper arms must be indexed to the wiper
pivots with the wiper motor in the park position to
be properly installed (Fig. 6). Position the wiper arm
pivot ends onto the wiper pivots so that the lower
edge of the wiper arm tip is on the upper edge of the
lower windshield blackout area ± 22 millimeters (±
0.86 inches).

REMOVAL
(1) Unlatch and open the hood.
(2) Lift the wiper arm far enough to raise the
wiper blade off of the glass and permit the wiper arm
latch plate to be pulled out to its holding position,
then release the arm (Fig. 5). The wiper arm and
blade will remain off the glass with the latch in this
position.

DESCRIPTION
Each wiper blade is secured by an integral latching
pivot block to the hook formation on the tip of the
wiper arms, and rests on the glass near the base of
the windshield when the wipers are not in operation.
The wiper blade consists of the following components:
• Superstructure - The superstructure includes
several stamped steel bridges and links with claw
formations that grip the wiper blade element. Also
included in this unit is the latching, molded plastic
pivot block that secures the superstructure to the
wiper arm. All of the metal components of the wiper
blade have a satin black finish applied.
• Element - The wiper element or squeegee is the
resilient rubber member of the wiper blade that contacts the glass.
• Flexor - The flexor is a rigid metal component
running along the length of each side of the wiper
element where it is gripped by the claws of the
superstructure.

WIPERS/WASHERS

8R - 13

WIPER BLADE (Continued)
All Ram truck models have two 50 centimeter
(19.69 inch) wiper blades with non-replaceable rubber elements (squeegees). These wiper blades also
include an anti-lift feature. The wiper blades cannot
be adjusted or repaired. If faulty, worn, or damaged
the entire wiper blade unit must be replaced.

OPERATION
The wiper blade is moved back and forth across the
glass by the wiper arms when the wipers are being
operated. The wiper blade superstructure is the flexible frame that grips the wiper blade element and
evenly distributes the force of the spring-loaded
wiper arm along the length of the element. The combination of the wiper arm force and the flexibility of
the superstructure makes the element conform to
and maintain proper contact with the glass, even as
the blade is moved over the varied curvature found
across the glass surface. The wiper element flexor
provides the claws of the blade superstructure with a
rigid, yet flexible component on the element which
can be gripped. The rubber element is designed to be
stiff enough to maintain an even cleaning edge as it
is drawn across the glass, but resilient enough to
conform to the glass surface and flip from one cleaning edge to the other each time the wiper blade
changes directions.

REMOVAL
NOTE: The driver side and passenger side wiper
blades are not interchangeable. The driver side
wiper blade has an extra bridge and eight pairs of
claws securing the wiper element. The passenger
side wiper blade has six pairs of claws securing the
wiper element. The notched retainer end of both
wiper elements should always be oriented towards
the end of the wiper blade that is nearest to the
wiper pivot.
(1) Turn the wiper control knob on the end of the
multi-function switch control stalk to the On position. Cycle the wiper blades to a convenient working
location on the windshield by turning the ignition
switch to the On and Off positions.
(2) Lift the wiper arm to raise the wiper blade and
element off of the glass.
(3) To remove the wiper blade from the wiper arm,
push the pivot block latch release tab under the tip
of the arm and slide the blade away from the tip
towards the pivot end of the arm far enough to disengage the pivot block from the hook (Fig. 7).
(4) Extract the hook formation on the tip of the
wiper arm from the opening in the wiper blade
superstructure ahead of the wiper blade pivot block/
latch unit.

WIPER MODULE
DESCRIPTION
The wiper module is secured with screws to the
cowl plenum panel and concealed within the cowl
plenum area beneath the cowl plenum cover/grille
panel. The ends of the wiper pivot shafts that protrude through dedicated openings in the cowl plenum

8R - 14

WIPERS/WASHERS

BR/BE

WIPER MODULE (Continued)
cover/grille panel to drive the wiper arms and blades
are the only visible components of the wiper module.
The wiper module consists of the following major
components:
• Bracket - The wiper module bracket consists of
a long tubular steel main member that has a
stamped pivot bracket formation near each end
where the two wiper pivots are secured. A stamped
steel mounting plate for the wiper motor is secured
with welds near the center of the main member.
• Crank Arm - The wiper motor crank arm is a
stamped steel unit that has a slotted hole on the
driven end that is secured to the wiper motor output
shaft with a nut, and has a ball stud secured to the
drive end.
• Linkage - The two wiper linkage members are
each constructed of stamped steel. A driver side drive
link with a plastic socket-type bushing in the left
end, and a plastic sleeve-type bushing in the right
end. Socket bushing is snap-fit over the pivot ball
stud on the left pivot, while the sleeve bushing is fit
over the longer wiper motor crank arm pivot stud.
The passenger side drive link has a plastic sockettype bushing on each end. One end of this drive link
is snap-fit over the pivot ball stud on the right pivot,
while the other end is snap-fit over the exposed end
of the longer ball stud on the wiper motor crank arm.
• Motor - The wiper motor is secured with three
screws to the motor mounting plate near the center
of the wiper module bracket. The wiper motor output
shaft passes through a hole in the module bracket,
where a nut secures the wiper motor crank arm to
the motor output shaft. The two-speed permanent
magnet wiper motor features an integral transmission, an internal park switch, and an internal Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) circuit breaker.
• Pivots - The two wiper pivots are secured to the
ends of the wiper module bracket. The crank arms
that extend from the bottom of the pivot shafts each
have a ball stud on their end. The upper end of each
pivot shaft where the wiper arms will be fastened
each has an externally serrated drum secured to it.
The wiper module cannot be adjusted or repaired.
If any component of the module is faulty or damaged,
the entire wiper module unit must be replaced.

OPERATION
The wiper module operation is controlled by the
vehicle operator through battery current inputs
received by the wiper motor from the multi-function
switch on the steering column. The wiper motor
speed is controlled by current flow to either the low
speed or the high speed set of brushes. The park
switch is a single pole, single throw, momentary
switch within the wiper motor that is mechanically
actuated by the wiper motor transmission compo-

nents. The park switch alternately closes the wiper
park switch sense circuit to ground or to battery current, depending upon the position of the wipers on
the glass. This feature allows the motor to complete
its current wipe cycle after the wiper system has
been turned Off, and to park the wiper blades in the
lowest portion of the wipe pattern. The automatic
resetting circuit breaker protects the motor from
overloads. The wiper motor crank arm, the two wiper
linkage members, and the two wiper pivots mechanically convert the rotary output of the wiper motor to
the back and forth wiping motion of the wiper arms
and blades on the glass.

REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Remove the wiper arms from the wiper pivots.
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/WIPERS/WASHERS/

WIPER RELAY
DESCRIPTION
The wiper relay (or intermittent wipe relay) is
located in the Power Distribution Center (PDC) near
the battery in the engine compartment. See the fuse
and relay layout label affixed to the inside surface of
the PDC cover for wiper relay identification and location. The wiper relay is a conventional International
Standards Organization (ISO) micro relay. Relays
conforming to the ISO specifications have common
physical dimensions, current capacities, terminal patterns, and terminal functions. The relay is contained

within a small, rectangular, molded plastic housing.
The relay is connected to all of the required inputs
and outputs through its PDC receptacle by five male
spade-type terminals that extend from the bottom of
the relay base. The ISO designation for each terminal is molded into the base adjacent to the terminal.
The ISO terminal designations are as follows:
• 30 (Common Feed) - This terminal is connected to the movable contact point of the relay.
• 85 (Coil Ground) - This terminal is connected
to the ground feed side of the relay control coil.
• 86 (Coil Battery) - This terminal is connected
to the battery feed side of the relay control coil.
• 87 (Normally Open) - This terminal is connected to the normally open fixed contact point of the
relay.
• 87A (Normally Closed) - This terminal is connected to the normally closed fixed contact point of
the relay.
The wiper relay cannot be adjusted or repaired. If
the relay is damaged or faulty, it must be replaced.

OPERATION
The wiper relay (or intermittent wipe relay) is an
electromechanical switch that uses a low current
input from the Central Timer Module (CTM) to control a high current output to the low speed brush of
the wiper motor. The movable common feed contact
point is held against the fixed normally closed contact point by spring pressure. When the relay coil is
energized, an electromagnetic field is produced by the
coil windings. This electromagnetic field draws the
movable relay contact point away from the fixed normally closed contact point, and holds it against the
fixed normally open contact point. When the relay
coil is de-energized, spring pressure returns the movable contact point back against the fixed normally
closed contact point. A resistor or diode is connected
in parallel with the relay coil in the relay, and helps
to dissipate voltage spikes and electromagnetic interference that can be generated as the electromagnetic
field of the relay coil collapses.
The wiper relay terminals are connected to the
vehicle electrical system through a connector receptacle in the Power Distribution Center (PDC). The
inputs and outputs of the wiper relay include:
• The common feed terminal (30) is connected to
the wiper motor low speed brush through the wiper
control circuitry of the multi-function switch on the
steering column. When the wiper relay is de-energized, the common feed terminal is connected to the
wiper park switch output through the wiper park
switch sense circuit. The wiper park switch output
may be battery current (wipers are not parked), or
ground (wipers are parked). When the wiper relay is
energized, the common feed terminal of the wiper is

8R - 16

WIPERS/WASHERS

BR/BE

WIPER RELAY (Continued)
connected to battery current from a fuse in the Junction Block (JB) through a fused ignition switch output (run-acc) circuit.
• The coil ground terminal (85) is connected to the
relay control output of the CTM through the wiper
motor relay control circuit. The CTM controls the
ground path for this circuit internally to energize or
de-energize the wiper relay based upon its programming and inputs from the wiper and washer control
circuitry of the multi-function switch and from the
wiper motor park switch.
• The coil battery terminal (86) is connected to
battery current from a fuse in the Junction Block
(JB) through a fused ignition switch output (run-acc)
circuit whenever the ignition switch is in the On or
Accessory positions.
• The normally open terminal (87) is connected to
battery current from a fuse in the Junction Block
(JB) through a fused ignition switch output (run-acc)
circuit whenever the wiper relay control coil is energized by the CTM. This circuit provides fused ignition switch output (run-acc) current to the wiper
motor low speed brush only when the wiper relay
control coil is energized.
• The normally closed terminal (87A) is connected
to the output of the wiper motor park switch through
the wiper motor park switch sense circuit. This circuit provides battery current (wipers are not parked)
or ground (wipers are parked) to the wiper motor low
speed brush whenever the wiper relay control coil is
de-energized and the Off position of the wiper control
of the multi-function switch is selected.
The wiper relay can be diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and methods.

WIRING DIAGRAM
INFORMATION
DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING
DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are
designed to provide information regarding the vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the
wiring
diagrams
to
diagnose
and
repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important
to understand all of their features and characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+)
side of the circuit is placed near the top of the page,
and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near
the bottom of the page (Fig. 1).

All switches, components, and modules are shown
in the at rest position with the doors closed and the
key removed from the ignition (Fig. 2).
Components are shown two ways. A solid line
around a component indicates that the component is
complete. A dashed line around the component indicates that the component is being shown is not complete. Incomplete components have a reference
number to indicate the page where the component is
shown complete.
It is important to realize that no attempt is made
on the diagrams to represent components and wiring
as they appear on the vehicle. For example, a short
piece of wire is treated the same as a long one. In
addition, switches and other components are shown
as simply as possible, with regard to function only.

DESCRIPTION - SECTION IDENTIFICATION AND
INFORMATION
The wiring diagrams are grouped into individual
sections. If a component is most likely found in a particular group, it will be shown complete (all wires,
connectors, and pins) within that group. For example, the Auto Shutdown Relay is most likely to be
found in Group 30, so it is shown there complete. It
can, however, be shown partially in another group if
it contains some associated wiring.
Splice diagrams in Section 8W-70 show the entire
splice and provide references to other sections the
splices serves. Section 8W-70 only contains splice diagrams that are not shown in their entirety somewhere else in the wiring diagrams.
Section 8W-80 shows each connector and the circuits involved with that connector. The connectors
are identified using the name/number on the diagram pages.

WARNINGS - GENERAL
WARNINGS provide information to prevent personal injury and vehicle damage. Below is a list of
general warnings that should be followed any time a
vehicle is being serviced.
WARNING:: ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES FOR
EYE PROTECTION.

WARNING: NEVER USE A JUMPER WIRE ACROSS
A LOAD, SUCH AS A MOTOR, CONNECTED
BETWEEN A BATTERY FEED AND GROUND.
• Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the
circuit.

WARNING: USE SAFETY STANDS ANYTIME A PROCEDURE REQUIRES BEING UNDER A VEHICLE.

CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used
in today’s vehicles are Solid State. When checking
voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 megohm or greater impedance rating.

WARNING: BE SURE THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH
ALWAYS IS IN THE OFF POSITION, UNLESS THE
PROCEDURE REQUIRES IT TO BE ON.

• Ohmmeter - Used to check the resistance
between two points of a circuit. Low or no resistance
in a circuit means good continuity.

WARNING: SET THE PARKING BRAKE WHEN
WORKING ON ANY VEHICLE. AN AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION SHOULD BE IN PARK. A MANUAL
TRANSMISSION SHOULD BE IN NEUTRAL.
WARNING: OPERATE THE ENGINE ONLY IN A
WELL-VENTILATED AREA.
WARNING: KEEP AWAY FROM MOVING PARTS
WHEN THE ENGINE IS RUNNING, ESPECIALLY THE
FAN AND BELTS.

CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used
in today’s vehicles are Solid State. When checking
resistance in these circuits use a meter with a 10 megohm or greater impedance rating. In addition,
make sure the power is disconnected from the circuit. Circuits that are powered up by the vehicle’s
electrical system can cause damage to the equipment and provide false readings.
• Probing Tools - These tools are used for probing
terminals in connectors (Fig. 5). Select the proper
size tool from Special Tool Package 6807, and insert
it into the terminal being tested. Use the other end
of the tool to insert the meter probe.

WARNING: TO PREVENT SERIOUS BURNS, AVOID
CONTACT WITH HOT PARTS SUCH AS THE RADIATOR, EXHAUST MANIFOLD(S), TAIL PIPE, CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND MUFFLER.
WARNING: DO NOT ALLOW FLAME OR SPARKS
NEAR THE BATTERY. GASES ARE ALWAYS
PRESENT IN AND AROUND THE BATTERY.
WARNING: ALWAYS REMOVE RINGS, WATCHES,
LOOSE HANGING JEWELRY AND AVOID LOOSE
CLOTHING.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit
there are several common tools necessary. These tools
are listed and explained below.
• Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.

Fig. 5 PROBING TOOL
1 - SPECIAL TOOL 6801
2 - PROBING END

INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent electrical problems are caused
by faulty electrical connections or wiring. It is also
possible for a sticking component or relay to cause a
problem. Before condemning a component or wiring
assembly, check the following items.
• Connectors are fully seated
• Spread terminals, or terminal push out

8W - 01 - 8

8W-01 WIRING DIAGRAM INFORMATION

BR/BE

WIRING DIAGRAM INFORMATION (Continued)
• Terminals in the wiring assembly are fully
seated into the connector/component and locked into
position
• Dirt or corrosion on the terminals. Any amount
of corrosion or dirt could cause an intermittent problem
• Damaged connector/component casing exposing
the item to dirt or moisture
• Wire insulation that has rubbed through causing
a short to ground
• Some or all of the wiring strands broken inside
of the insulation
• Wiring broken inside of the insulation

(3) When using a voltmeter, be sure to connect the
ground lead first.
(4) Do not remove the part form it’s protective
packing until it is time to install the part.
(5) Before removing the part from it’s pakage,
ground the pakage to a known good ground on the
vehicle.

TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are
six steps which can aid in the procedure. The steps
are listed and explained below. Always check for nonfactory items added to the vehicle before doing any
diagnosis. If the vehicle is equipped with these items,
disconnect them to verify these add-on items are not
the cause of the problem.
(1) Verify the problem.
(2) Verify any related symptoms. Do this by performing operational checks on components that are
in the same circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams.
(3) Analyze the symptoms. Use the wiring diagrams to determine what the circuit is doing, where
the problem most likely is occurring and where the
diagnosis will continue.
(4) Isolate the problem area.
(5) Repair the problem area.
(6) Verify the proper operation. For this step,
check for proper operation of all items on the
repaired circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams.

Fig. 6 ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE SYMBOL

STANDARD PROCEDURE - TESTING OF
VOLTAGE POTENTIAL
(1) Connect the ground lead of a voltmeter to a
known good ground (Fig. 7).
(2) Connect the other lead of the voltmeter to the
selected test point. The vehicle ignition may need to
be turned ON to check voltage. Refer to the appropriate test procedure.

STANDARD PROCEDURE
STANDARD PROCEDURE - ELECTROSTATIC
DISCHARGE (ESD) SENSITIVE DEVICES
All ESD sensitive components are solid state and a
symbol (Fig. 6) is used to indicate this. When handling any component with this symbol, comply with
the following procedures to reduce the possibility of
electrostatic charge build up on the body and inadvertent discharge into the component. If it is not
known whether the part is ESD sensitive, assume
that it is.
(1) Always touch a known good ground before handling the part. This should be repeated while handling the part and more frequently after sliding
across a seat, sitting down from a standing position,
or walking a distance.
(2) Avoid touching electrical terminals of the part,
unless instructed to do so by a written procedure.

CIGAR LIGHTER OUTLET
DESCRIPTION
A cigar lighter is standard equipment on this
model. The cigar lighter is installed in the instrument panel next to the ash receiver, which is located
near the center of the instrument panel, below the
radio. The cigar lighter base is secured by a snap fit
within the instrument panel.
The cigar lighter knob and heating element unit,
and the cigar lighter receptacle unit are available for
service. These components cannot be repaired and, if
faulty or damaged, they must be replaced.

OPERATION
The cigar lighter consists of two major components:
a knob and heating element unit, and the cigar
lighter base or receptacle shell. The receptacle shell
is connected to ground, and an insulated contact in
the bottom of the shell is connected to battery current. The cigar lighter receives battery voltage from a

fuse in the junction block only when the ignition
switch is in the Accessory or On positions.
The knob and heating element are encased within
a spring-loaded housing, which also features a sliding
protective heat shield. When the knob and heating
element are inserted in the receptacle shell, the heating element resistor coil is grounded through its
housing to the receptacle shell. If the cigar lighter
knob is pushed inward, the heat shield slides up
toward the knob exposing the heating element, and
the heating element extends from the housing toward
the insulated contact in the bottom of the receptacle
shell.
Two small spring-clip retainers are located on
either side of the insulated contact inside the bottom
of the receptacle shell. These clips engage and hold
the heating element against the insulated contact
long enough for the resistor coil to heat up. When the
heating element is engaged with the contact, battery
current can flow through the resistor coil to ground,
causing the resistor coil to heat.
When the resistor coil becomes sufficiently heated,
excess heat radiates from the heating element causing the spring-clips to expand. Once the spring-clips
expand far enough to release the heating element,
the spring-loaded housing forces the knob and heating element to pop back outward to their relaxed
position. When the cigar lighter knob and element
are pulled out of the receptacle shell, the protective
heat shield slides downward on the housing so that
the heating element is recessed and shielded around
its circumference for safety.

CIRCUIT BREAKER
DESCRIPTION
Automatic resetting circuit breakers are used to
protect a system circuit from a short circuit or overload. Some examples of his condition can be caused
by an obstructed or stuck seat adjuster or power window motor.
The circuit breaker cannot be repaired and, if
faulty or damaged, it must be replaced.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - CIRCUIT BREAKER
For circuit descriptions and diagrams, refer to Wiring Diagrams.
(1) Locate the correct circuit breaker in the junction block. Pull out the circuit breaker slightly, but
be certain that the circuit breaker terminals still contact the terminals in the junction block cavities.
(2) Connect the negative lead of a 12-volt DC voltmeter to a good ground.
(3) With the voltmeter positive lead, check both
terminals of the circuit breaker for battery voltage.
If only one terminal has battery voltage, the circuit
breaker is faulty and must be replaced. If neither terminal has battery voltage, repair the open circuit
from the Power Distribution Center (PDC) as
required.

GENERATOR CARTRIDGE
FUSE
DESCRIPTION
A 140 ampere generator cartridge fuse is used on
this model. The generator cartridge fuse is similar to
other cartridge fuses found in the Power Distribution
Center (PDC). This fuse has a color-coded plastic
housing and a clear plastic fuse conductor inspection
cover like other cartridge fuses, but has a higher current rating and is connected and secured with screws
instead of being pushed onto male spade-type terminals. The generator cartridge fuse cannot be repaired
and, if faulty or damaged, it must be replaced.

OPERATION
The generator cartridge fuse is secured between
the two B(+) terminal stud connection bus bars
within the Power Distribution Center (PDC). This
fuse protects the vehicle electrical system from damage that could be caused by excessive charging system output and/or excessive electrical system current
levels resulting from a faulty generator or faulty
charging system control circuits. If the current rating
of the fuse is exceeded, the fuse conductor melts to
open the generator output circuit connection to the
PDC. If a generator cartridge fuse fails, be certain to
completely inspect and test the vehicle charging system before replacing the fuse and returning the vehicle to service. Refer to Charging System for the
charging system diagnostic procedures. Refer to Wiring Diagrams for the location of complete PDC circuit diagrams.

REMOVAL
If a generator cartridge fuse fails, be certain to
inspect and test the vehicle charging system before
replacing the cartridge fuse and returning the vehicle
to service. Refer to Charging System in the index of
this service manual for the charging system diagnostic procedures.
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Unlatch and remove the cover from the Power
Distribution Center (PDC).
(3) Remove the two screws that secure the generator cartridge fuse to the two B(+) terminal stud bus
bars within the PDC.
(4) Remove the generator cartridge fuse from the
PDC.

IOD FUSE
DESCRIPTION

secured to the instrument panel side of the access
panel to ensure proper fuse identification. The IOD
fuse is a 10 ampere mini blade-type fuse. The fuse is
secured within a black molded plastic fuse holder
and puller unit that serves both as a tool for disconnecting and reconnecting the fuse in its junction
block cavity, and as a fuse holder that conveniently

Fig. 3 Ignition-Off Draw Fuse
1 - JUNCTION BLOCK
2 - IGNITION-OFF DRAW FUSE AND HOLDER
3 - LEFT INSTRUMENT PANEL END BRACKET

All vehicles are equipped with an Ignition-Off
Draw (IOD) fuse (Fig. 3) that is disconnected within
the Junction Block when the vehicle is shipped from
the factory. Dealer personnel are to reconnect the
IOD fuse in the junction block as part of the preparation procedures performed just prior to new vehicle
delivery.
The left end of the instrument panel cover has a
snap-fit fuse access panel that can be removed to provide service access to the fuses in the junction block.
A finger recess is molded into the access panel for
easy removal. An adhesive-backed fuse layout map is

The term ignition-off draw identifies a normal condition where power is being drained from the battery
with the ignition switch in the Off position. The IOD
fuse feeds the memory and sleep mode functions for
some of the electronic modules in the vehicle as well
as various other accessories that require battery current when the ignition switch is in the Off position,
including the clock. The only reason the IOD fuse is
disconnected is to reduce the normal IOD of the vehicle electrical system during new vehicle transportation and pre-delivery storage to reduce battery
depletion, while still allowing vehicle operation so
that the vehicle can be loaded, unloaded and moved
as needed by both vehicle transportation company
and dealer personnel.
The IOD fuse is disconnected from JB fuse cavity
12 when the vehicle is shipped from the assembly
plant. Dealer personnel must reconnect the IOD fuse
when the vehicle is being prepared for delivery in
order to restore full electrical system operation. Once
the vehicle is prepared for delivery, the IOD function
of this fuse becomes transparent and the fuse that
has been assigned the IOD designation becomes only
another Fused B(+) circuit fuse. The IOD fuse serves
no useful purpose to the dealer technician in the service or diagnosis of any vehicle system or condition,
other than the same purpose as that of any other
standard circuit protection device.
The IOD fuse can be used by the vehicle owner as
a convenient means of reducing battery depletion
when a vehicle is to be stored for periods not to
exceed about thirty days. However, it must be
remembered that disconnecting the IOD fuse will not
eliminate IOD, but only reduce this normal condition.

IOD FUSE (Continued)
If a vehicle will be stored for more than about thirty
days, the battery negative cable should be disconnected to eliminate normal IOD; and, the battery
should be tested and recharged at regular intervals
during the vehicle storage period to prevent the battery from becoming discharged or damaged. Refer to
the Battery section of the service manual for the
location of additional service information covering
the battery.

REMOVAL
The Ignition-Off Draw (IOD) fuse is disconnected

An electrical Junction Block (JB) is concealed
behind the left outboard end of the instrument panel
cover (Fig. 5). The JB combines the functions previously provided by a separate fuseblock module and
relay center, serves to simplify and centralize numerous electrical components, and to distribute electrical
current to many of the accessory systems in the vehicle. It also eliminates the need for numerous splice
connections and serves in place of a bulkhead connec-

BR/BE

8W-97 POWER DISTRIBUTION

JUNCTION BLOCK (Continued)
tor between many of the engine compartment, instrument panel, and body wire harnesses. The JB houses
up to nineteen blade-type fuses (two standard-type
and seventeen mini-type), up to two blade-type automatic resetting circuit breakers, the electronic combination turn signal and hazard warning flasher, and
one International Standards Organization (ISO)
micro-relay.
The molded plastic JB housing has integral mounting brackets that are secured with two screws to the
left instrument panel end bracket. The left end of the
instrument panel cover has a snap-fit fuse access
panel that can be removed for service of the JB. A
fuse puller and spare fuse holders are located on the
back of the fuse access cover, as well as an adhesivebacked fuse layout map to ensure proper fuse identification.
The JB unit cannot be repaired and is only serviced as an assembly. If any internal circuit or the JB
housing is faulty or damaged, the entire JB unit
must be replaced.

OPERATION
All of the circuits entering and leaving the JB do
so through up to nine wire harness connectors, which
are connected to the JB through integral connector
receptacles molded into the JB housing. Internal connection of all of the JB circuits is accomplished by an
intricate combination of hard wiring and bus bars.
Refer to Wiring Diagrams for the location of complete JB circuit diagrams.

REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Remove the fuse access bezel from the instrument panel.
(3) Remove the steering column cover (Refer to 23
- BODY/INSTRUMENT PANEL/STEERING COLUMN OPENING COVER - REMOVAL).
(4) Remove the hood release handle retaining
screws and position the handle assembly out of the
way.
(5) Remove the lower knee blocker from the instrument panel.

long #2 Phillips screwdriver will be required. Access
the upper screw through hole in dash support brace.
(10) Reach through the outboard side of the instrument panel steering column opening to access and
disconnect all of the wire harness connectors from
the Junction Block (JB) connector receptacles (Fig.
6).

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - JUNCTION BLOCK
The junction block does not incorporate any self
diagnostic capability. Most of the electrical circuits
incorporated into the vehicle must pass through the
junction block at one point or another. The most efficient means of diagnosing a suspected junction block
problem involves a simple continuity tester or ohm
meter. Using the Wiring Diagrams as a guide trace
the problem circuit to the proper junction block cavity and test all circuits in the effected circuit for
proper continuity. A open or high resistance circuit is
a sign of a problem. Some other possible junction
block problems to look for are:
• Loose fuse receptacle terminals.
• Loose relay / circuit breaker receptacle terminals.
• Bent or distorted electrical circuit pins.
• Incorrect size fuse installed in junction block
fuse cavity.
• Dark areas identifying a source of excess heat.
• Defective fuse, relay or circuit breaker installed
in junction block cavity.

POWER OUTLET
DESCRIPTION
Two power outlets are installed in the vehicle. One
in the instrument panel next to the cigar lighter and
the other in the right rear quarter trim panel. The
power outlet bases are secured by a snap fit within
the instrument panel or trim panel. A plastic protective cap snaps into the power outlet base when the
power outlet is not being used, and hangs from the
power outlet base mount by an integral bail strap
while the power outlet is in use.
The power outlet receptacle unit and the accessory
power outlet protective cap are available for service.
The power outlet receptacle cannot be repaired and,
if faulty or damaged, it must be replaced.

OPERATION
The power outlet base or receptacle shell is connected to ground, and an insulated contact in the
bottom of the shell is connected to battery current.
The power outlet receives battery voltage from a fuse
in the Junction Block at all times.
While the power outlet is very similar to a cigar
lighter base unit, it does not include the two small
spring-clip retainers inside the bottom of the receptacle shell that are used to secure the cigar lighter
heating element to the insulated contact.

HORN RELAY
DESCRIPTION
The horn relay is a International Standards Organization (ISO) micro-relay. The terminal designations
and functions are the same as a conventional ISO
relay. However, the micro-relay terminal orientation
(or footprint) is different, current capacity is lower,
and the relay case dimensions are smaller than those
of the conventional ISO relay.
The horn relay is a electromechanical device that
switches battery current to the horn when the horn
switch or when the high-line or premium Central
Timer Module (CTM) grounds the relay coil. See
Horn Relay in the Diagnosis and Testing section of
this group for more information.
The horn relay is located in the Power Distribution
Center (PDC), in the engine compartment. Refer to
the PDC label for relay identification and location.
If a problem is encountered with a continuously
sounding horn, it can usually be quickly resolved by
removing the horn relay from the PDC until further
diagnosis is completed.
The horn relay cannot be repaired and, if faulty or
damaged, it must be replaced.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - HORN RELAY
The headlamp (or security) relay and the horn
relay are located in the Power Distribution Center
(PDC) in the engine compartment. Each of these
relays can be tested as described in the following procedure, however the circuits they are used in do vary.

RELAY

OPERATION

DESCRIPTION

A micro-relay is an electromechanical switch that
uses a low current input from one source to control a
high current output to another device. The movable
common feed contact point is held against the fixed
normally closed contact point by spring pressure.
When the relay coil is energized, an electromagnetic
field is produced by the coil windings. This electromagnetic field draws the movable relay contact point
away from the fixed normally closed contact point,
and holds it against the fixed normally open contact
point. When the relay coil is de-energized, spring
pressure returns the movable contact point back
against the fixed normally closed contact point. A
resistor is connected in parallel with the relay coil in
the relay, and helps to dissipate voltage spikes and
electromagnetic interference that can be generated as
the electromagnetic field of the relay coil collapses.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - MICRO-RELAY
(1) Remove the relay from its mounting location.
(2) A relay in the de-energized position should
have continuity between terminals 87A and 30, and
no continuity between terminals 87 and 30. If OK, go
to Step 3. If not OK, replace the faulty relay.
(3) Resistance between terminals 85 and 86 (electromagnet) should be 67.5 - 82.5 ohms. If OK, go to
Step 4. If not OK, replace the faulty relay.
(4) Connect a battery to terminals 85 and 86.
There should now be continuity between terminals
30 and 87, and no continuity between terminals 87A
and 30. If OK, reinstall the relay and use a DRBIIIt
scan tool to perform further testing. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.
Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The
wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper
wire and connector repair procedures, details of wire
harness routing and retention, connector pin-out
information and location views for the various wire
harness connectors, splices and grounds.

REMOVAL
(1) Remove the relay by grasping it firmly and
pulling it straight out from its receptacle.

INSTALLATION
(1) Align the micro-relay terminals with the terminal cavities in the receptacle.

Fig. 17 TYPE 1 RELAY
A relay is an electromechanical device that
switches fused battery current to a electrical component when the ignition switch is turned to the Accessory or Run positions, or when controlled by a
electronic module. The relays are located in the junction block or power distribution center (Fig. 17).
The relay is a International Standards Organization (ISO) relay. Relays conforming to the ISO specifications have common physical dimensions, current
capacities, terminal patterns, and terminal functions.
A relay cannot be repaired or adjusted and, if
faulty or damaged, it must be replaced.

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

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - RELAY
The relays are located in the junction block or
power distribution center. For complete circuit diagrams, refer to Wiring Diagrams.
(1) Remove the relay from its mounting location.
(2) A relay in the de-energized position should
have continuity between terminals 87A and 30, and
no continuity between terminals 87 and 30. If OK, go
to Step 3. If not OK, replace the faulty relay.
(3) Resistance between terminals 85 and 86 (electromagnet) should be 60.7 - 80.3 ohms. If OK, go to
Step 4. If not OK, replace the faulty relay.
(4) Connect a battery to terminals 85 and 86.
There should now be continuity between terminals
30 and 87, and no continuity between terminals 87A
and 30. If OK, perform the Relay Circuit Test that
follows. If not OK, replace the faulty relay.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - RELAY CIRCUIT TEST
(1) The relay common feed terminal cavity (30) of
the junction block or power distribution center is connected to battery voltage and should be hot at all
times. Check for battery voltage at the fused B(+) circuit cavity in the junction block receptacle for the
relay. If OK, go to Step 2. If not OK, repair the fused
B(+) circuit to the Power Distribution Center (PDC)
fuse as required.
(2) The relay normally closed terminal (87A) is
connected to terminal 30 in the de-energized position,
but is not used for this application. Go to Step 3.
(3) The relay normally open terminal (87) is connected to the common feed terminal (30) in the energized position. This terminal supplies battery voltage
to the fused B(+) fuse in the junction block that feeds

the accessory when the relay is energized by the ignition switch. There should be continuity between the
junction block cavity for relay terminal 87 and the
fused B(+) fuse in the junction block at all times. If
OK, go to Step 4. If not OK, repair the open fused
B(+) circuit to the junction block fuse as required.
(4) The coil ground terminal (85) is connected to
the electromagnet in the relay. It receives battery
feed to energize the relay when the ignition switch is
in the Accessory or Run positions. Turn the ignition
switch to the On position. Check for battery voltage
at the fused ignition switch output (acc/run) circuit
cavity for relay terminal 85 in the junction block
receptacle for the relay. If OK, go to Step 5. If not
OK, repair the open fused ignition switch output
(acc/run) circuit to the ignition switch as required.
(5) The coil battery terminal (86) is connected to
the electromagnet in the relay. The junction block
cavity for this terminal should have continuity to
ground at all times. If not OK, repair the open
ground circuit to ground as required.

REMOVAL
(1) Remove the relay by grasping it firmly and
pulling it straight out from its receptacle.

INSTALLATION
(1) Position the relay to the proper receptacle.
(2) Align the relay terminals with the terminal
cavities in the receptacle.
(3) Push firmly and evenly on the top of the relay
until the terminals are fully seated in the terminal
cavities in the receptacle.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING—CYLINDER
COMPRESSION PRESSURE

• Any causes for combustion/compression pressure
loss

The results of a cylinder compression pressure test
can be utilized to diagnose several engine malfunctions.
Ensure the battery is completely charged and the
engine starter motor is in good operating condition.
Otherwise, the indicated compression pressures may
not be valid for diagnosis purposes.
(1) Clean the spark plug recesses with compressed
air.
(2) Remove the spark plugs (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/IGNITION CONTROL/SPARK PLUG REMOVAL).
(3) Secure the throttle in the wide-open position.
(4) Disconnect the ignition coil.
(5) Insert a compression pressure gauge and rotate
the engine with the engine starter motor for three
revolutions.
(6) Record the compression pressure on the third
revolution. Continue the test for the remaining cylinders.
(Refer to 9 - ENGINE - SPECIFICATIONS) for the
correct engine compression pressures.

WARNING: DO NOT REMOVE THE RADIATOR CAP
WITH THE SYSTEM HOT AND UNDER PRESSURE.
SERIOUS BURNS FROM HOT COOLANT CAN
OCCUR.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - CYLINDER
COMBUSTION PRESSURE LEAKAGE
The combustion pressure leakage test provides an
accurate means for determining engine condition.
Combustion pressure leakage testing will detect:
• Exhaust and intake valve leaks (improper seating)
• Leaks between adjacent cylinders or into water
jacket

Check the coolant level and fill as required. DO
NOT install the radiator cap.
Start and operate the engine until it attains normal operating temperature, then turn OFF the
engine.
Remove the spark plugs.
Remove the oil filler cap.
Remove the air cleaner.
Calibrate the tester according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The shop air source for testing
should maintain 483 kPa (70 psi) minimum, 1,379
kPa (200 psi) maximum and 552 kPa (80 psi) recommended.
Perform the test procedure on each cylinder according to the tester manufacturer’s instructions. While
testing, listen for pressurized air escaping through
the throttle body, tailpipe or oil filler cap opening.
Check for bubbles in the radiator coolant.
All gauge pressure indications should be equal,
with no more than 25% leakage.
FOR EXAMPLE: At 552 kPa (80 psi) input pressure, a minimum of 414 kPa (60 psi) should be maintained in the cylinder CYLINDER COMBUSTION

STANDARD PROCEDURE
STANDARD PROCEDURE - FORM-IN-PLACE
GASKETS AND SEALERS
There are numerous places where form-in-place
gaskets are used on the engine. Care must be taken
when applying form-in-place gaskets to assure
obtaining the desired results. Do not use form-inplace gasket material unless specified. Bead size,
continuity, and location are of great importance. Too
thin a bead can result in leakage while too much can
result in spill-over which can break off and obstruct
fluid feed lines. A continuous bead of the proper
width is essential to obtain a leak-free gasket.
There are numerous types of form-in-place gasket
materials that are used in the engine area. Mopart
Engine RTV GEN II, Mopart ATF-RTV, and Mopart
Gasket Maker gasket materials, each have different
properties and can not be used in place of the other.
MOPARt ENGINE RTV GEN II
Mopart Engine RTV GEN II is used to seal components exposed to engine oil. This material is a specially designed black silicone rubber RTV that
retains adhesion and sealing properties when
exposed to engine oil. Moisture in the air causes the
material to cure. This material is available in three
ounce tubes and has a shelf life of one year. After one
year this material will not properly cure. Always
inspect the package for the expiration date before
use.
MOPARt ATF RTV
Mopart ATF RTV is a specifically designed black
silicone rubber RTV that retains adhesion and sealing properties to seal components exposed to automatic transmission fluid, engine coolants, and
moisture. This material is available in three ounce

tubes and has a shelf life of one year. After one year
this material will not properly cure. Always inspect
the package for the expiration date before use.
MOPARt GASKET MAKER
Mopart Gasket Maker is an anaerobic type gasket
material. The material cures in the absence of air
when squeezed between two metallic surfaces. It will
not cure if left in the uncovered tube. The anaerobic
material is for use between two machined surfaces.
Do not use on flexible metal flanges.
MOPARt GASKET SEALANT
Mopart Gasket Sealant is a slow drying, permanently soft sealer. This material is recommended for
sealing threaded fittings and gaskets against leakage
of oil and coolant. Can be used on threaded and
machined parts under all temperatures. This material is used on engines with multi-layer steel (MLS)
cylinder head gaskets. This material also will prevent corrosion. Mopart Gasket Sealant is available in
a 13 oz. aerosol can or 4oz./16 oz. can w/applicator.

FORM-IN-PLACE GASKET AND SEALER
APPLICATION
Assembling parts using a form-in-place gasket
requires care but it’s easier then using precut gaskets.
Mopart Gasket Maker material should be applied
sparingly 1 mm (0.040 in.) diameter or less of sealant
to one gasket surface. Be certain the material surrounds each mounting hole. Excess material can easily be wiped off. Components should be torqued in
place within 15 minutes. The use of a locating dowel
is recommended during assembly to prevent smearing material off the location.
Mopart Engine RTV GEN II or ATF RTV gasket
material should be applied in a continuous bead
approximately 3 mm (0.120 in.) in diameter. All

BR/BE

ENGINE 5.9L

9 - 11

ENGINE 5.9L (Continued)
mounting holes must be circled. For corner sealing, a
3.17 or 6.35 mm (1/8 or 1/4 in.) drop is placed in the
center of the gasket contact area. Uncured sealant
may be removed with a shop towel. Components
should be torqued in place while the sealant is still
wet to the touch (within 10 minutes). The usage of a
locating dowel is recommended during assembly to
prevent smearing material off the location.
Mopart Gasket Sealant in an aerosol can should be
applied using a thin, even coat sprayed completely
over both surfaces to be joined, and both sides of a
gasket. Then proceed with assembly. Material in a
can w/applicator can be brushed on evenly over the
sealing surfaces. Material in an aerosol can should be
used on engines with multi-layer steel gaskets.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - REPAIR DAMAGED
OR WORN THREADS
CAUTION: Be sure that the tapped holes maintain
the original center line.
Damaged or worn threads can be repaired. Essentially, this repair consists of:
• Drilling out worn or damaged threads.
• Tapping the hole with a special Heli-Coil Tap, or
equivalent.
• Installing an insert into the tapped hole to bring
the hole back to its original thread size.

STANDARD PROCEDURE—HYDROSTATIC
LOCK
CAUTION: DO NOT use the starter motor to rotate
the crankshaft. Severe damage could occur.
When an engine is suspected of hydrostatic lock
(regardless of what caused the problem), follow the
steps below.
(1) Perform the Fuel Pressure Release Procedure
(Refer to 14 - FUEL SYSTEM/FUEL DELIVERY STANDARD PROCEDURE).
(2) Disconnect the negative cable(s) from the battery.
(3) Inspect air cleaner, induction system, and
intake manifold to ensure system is dry and clear of
foreign material.
(4) Place a shop towel around the spark plugs to
catch any fluid that may possibly be under pressure
in the cylinder head. Remove the spark plugs.
(5) With all spark plugs removed, rotate the crankshaft using a breaker bar and socket.
(6) Identify the fluid in the cylinders (coolant, fuel,
oil, etc.).
(7) Be sure all fluid has been removed from the
cylinders.

(8) Repair engine or components as necessary to
prevent this problem from occurring again.
(9) Squirt a small amount of engine oil into the
cylinders to lubricate the walls. This will prevent
damage on restart.
(10) Install new spark plugs. Tighten the spark
plugs to 41 N·m (30 ft. lbs.) torque.
(11) Drain engine oil. Remove and discard the oil
filter.
(12) Install the drain plug. Tighten the plug to 34
N·m (25 ft. lbs.) torque.
(13) Install a new oil filter.
(14) Fill engine crankcase with the specified
amount and grade of oil. (Refer to LUBRICATION &
MAINTENANCE - SPECIFICATIONS).
(15) Connect the negative cable(s) to the battery.
(16) Start the engine and check for any leaks.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - CYLINDER BORE
HONING
Before honing, stuff plenty of clean shop towels
under the bores and over the crankshaft to keep
abrasive materials from entering the crankshaft
area.
(1) Used carefully, the Cylinder Bore Sizing Hone
C-823, equipped with 220 grit stones, is the best tool
for this job. In addition to deglazing, it will reduce
taper and out-of-round, as well as removing light
scuffing, scoring and scratches. Usually, a few strokes
will clean up a bore and maintain the required limits.
CAUTION: DO NOT use rigid type hones to remove
cylinder wall glaze.
(2) Deglazing of the cylinder walls may be done if
the cylinder bore is straight and round. Use a cylinder surfacing hone, Honing Tool C-3501, equipped
with 280 grit stones (C-3501-3810). about 20-60
strokes, depending on the bore condition, will be sufficient to provide a satisfactory surface. Using honing
oil C-3501-3880, or a light honing oil, available from
major oil distributors.
CAUTION: DO NOT use engine or transmission oil,
mineral spirits, or kerosene.
(3) Honing should be done by moving the hone up
and down fast enough to get a crosshatch pattern.
The hone marks should INTERSECT at 40° to 60°
for proper seating of rings (Fig. 3).
(4) A controlled hone motor speed between 200 and
300 RPM is necessary to obtain the proper crosshatch angle. The number of up and down strokes per
minute can be regulated to get the desired 40° to 60°
angle. Faster up and down strokes increase the crosshatch angle.

OPERATION
OPERATION—CYLINDER HEAD
The cylinder head closes the combustion chamber
allowing the pistons to compress the air fuel mixture
to the correct ratio for ignition. The valves located in
the cylinder head open and close to either allow clean
air into the combustion chamber or to allow the
exhaust gases out, depending on the stroke of the
engine.

OPERATION - CYLINDER HEAD COVER
GASKET
The steel-backed silicone gasket is designed to seal
the cylinder head cover for long periods of time
through extensive heat and cold, without failure. The
gasket is designed to be reusable.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING—CYLINDER HEAD
GASKET FAILURE
A cylinder head gasket leak can be located between
adjacent cylinders or between a cylinder and the
adjacent water jacket.
• Possible indications of the cylinder head gasket
leaking between adjacent cylinders are:
• Loss of engine power
• Engine misfiring
• Poor fuel economy
• Possible indications of the cylinder head gasket
leaking between a cylinder and an adjacent water
jacket are:
• Engine overheating
• Loss of coolant
• Excessive steam (white smoke) emitting from
exhaust
• Coolant foaming

CYLINDER-TO-CYLINDER LEAKAGE TEST
To determine if an engine cylinder head gasket is
leaking between adjacent cylinders, follow the procedures in Cylinder Compression Pressure Test in this
section. An engine cylinder head gasket leaking
between adjacent cylinders will result in approximately a 50–70% reduction in compression pressure.

CYLINDER-TO-WATER JACKET LEAKAGE TEST
WARNING: USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN THE
ENGINE IS OPERATING WITH COOLANT PRESSURE CAP REMOVED.
VISUAL TEST METHOD
With the engine cool, remove the coolant pressure
cap. Start the engine and allow it to warm up until
thermostat opens.

If a large combustion/compression pressure leak
exists, bubbles will be visible in the coolant.
COOLING SYSTEM TESTER METHOD
WARNING: WITH COOLING SYSTEM TESTER IN
PLACE, PRESSURE WILL BUILD UP FAST. EXCESSIVE PRESSURE BUILT UP, BY CONTINUOUS
ENGINE OPERATION, MUST BE RELEASED TO A

OIL LEVEL
HIGH
If oil level is above the FULL mark, it is possible
for the connecting rods to dip into the oil. With the
engine running, this condition could create foam in
the oil pan. Foam in oil pan would be fed to the
hydraulic tappets by the oil pump causing them to
lose length and allow valves to seat noisily.

Fig. 34 Distributor Driveshaft Bushing Installation
1 - SPECIAL TOOL C-3053
2 - BUSHING

CAUTION: This procedure MUST be followed when
installing a new bushing or seizure to shaft may
occur.

LOW
Low oil level may allow oil pump to take in air.
When air is fed to the tappets, they lose length,
which allows valves to seat noisily. Any leaks on
intake side of oil pump through which air can be
drawn will create the same tappet action. Check the
lubrication system from the intake strainer to the
pump cover, including the relief valve retainer cap.
When tappet noise is due to aeration, it may be
intermittent or constant, and usually more than one
tappet will be noisy. When oil level and leaks have
been corrected, operate the engine at fast idle. Run
engine for a sufficient time to allow all of the air
inside the tappets to be bled out.

TAPPET NOISE DIAGNOSIS

Fig. 35 Burnishing Distributor Driveshaft Bushing
1 - SPECIAL TOOL C-3053
2 - BUSHING

(1) To determine source of tappet noise, operate
engine at idle with cylinder head covers removed.
(2) Feel each valve spring or rocker arm to detect
noisy tappet. The noisy tappet will cause the affected
spring and/or rocker arm to vibrate or feel rough in
operation.

(4) Install the intake manifold (Refer to 9 ENGINE/MANIFOLDS/INTAKE
MANIFOLD
INSTALLATION).
(5) Install the distributor (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/IGNITION
CONTROL/DISTRIBUTOR
INSTALLATION).

NOTE: Worn valve guides or cocked springs are
sometimes mistaken for noisy tappets. If such is
the case, noise may be dampened by applying side
thrust on the valve spring. If noise is not appreciably reduced, it can be assumed the noise is in the
tappet. Inspect the rocker arm push rod sockets
and push rod ends for wear.

HYDRAULIC LIFTERS

(3) Valve tappet noise ranges from light noise to a
heavy click. A light noise is usually caused by excessive leak-down around the unit plunger, or by the
plunger partially sticking in the tappet body cylinder.
The tappet should be replaced. A heavy click is caused
by a tappet check valve not seating, or by foreign particles wedged between the plunger and the tappet
body. This will cause the plunger to stick in the down
position. This heavy click will be accompanied by
excessive clearance between the valve stem and rocker
arm as valve closes. In either case, tappet assembly
should be removed for inspection and cleaning.
(4) The valve train generates a noise very much
like a light tappet noise during normal operation.
Care must be taken to ensure that tappets are mak-

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING—HYDRAULIC
TAPPETS
Before disassembling any part of the engine to correct tappet noise, check the oil pressure. If vehicle
has no oil pressure gauge, install a reliable gauge at
the pressure sending-unit. The pressure should be
between 207-552 kPa (30-80 psi) at 3,000 RPM.
Check the oil level after the engine reaches normal
operating temperature. Allow 5 minutes to stabilize
oil level, check dipstick. The oil level in the pan
should never be above the FULL mark or below the
ADD OIL mark on dipstick. Either of these two conditions could be responsible for noisy tappets.

HYDRAULIC LIFTERS (Continued)
ing the noise. If more than one tappet seems to be
noisy, it’s probably not the tappets.

LEAK-DOWN TEST
After cleaning and inspection, test each tappet for
specified leak-down rate tolerance to ensure zero-lash
operation (Fig. 36).
Swing the weighted arm of the hydraulic valve tappet tester away from the ram of the Universal LeakDown Tester.
(1) Place a 7.925-7.950 mm (0.312-0.313 inch) diameter ball bearing on the plunger cap of the tappet.
(2) Lift the ram and position the tappet (with the
ball bearing) inside the tester cup.
(3) Lower the ram, then adjust the nose of the ram
until it contacts the ball bearing. DO NOT tighten
the hex nut on the ram.
(4) Fill the tester cup with hydraulic valve tappet
test oil until the tappet is completely submerged.
(5) Swing the weighted arm onto the push rod and
pump the tappet plunger up and down to remove air.
When the air bubbles cease, swing the weighted arm
away and allow the plunger to rise to the normal
position.
(6) Adjust the nose of the ram to align the pointer
with the SET mark on the scale of the tester and
tighten the hex nut.
(7) Slowly swing the weighted arm onto the push rod.
(8) Rotate the cup by turning the handle at the
base of the tester clockwise one revolution every 2
seconds.
(9) Observe the leak-down time interval from the
instant the pointer aligns with the START mark on
the scale until the pointer aligns with the 0.125
mark. A normally functioning tappet will require
20-110 seconds to leak-down. Discard tappets with
leak-down time interval not within this specification.

REMOVAL
(1) Remove the air cleaner assembly and air in-let
hose.
(2) Remove cylinder head cover (Refer to 9 ENGINE/CYLINDER
HEAD/CYLINDER
HEAD
COVER(S) - REMOVAL).
(3) Remove rocker assembly and push rods (Refer

LUBRICATION
DESCRIPTION
A gear-type positive displacement pump (Fig. 48) is
mounted at the underside of the rear main bearing
cap. The pump uses a pick-up tube and screen
assembly to gather engine oil from the oil pan.

The pump draws oil through the screen and inlet
tube from the sump at the rear of the oil pan. The oil
is driven between the drive and idler gears and
pump body, then forced through the outlet to the
block. An oil gallery in the block channels the oil to
the inlet side of the full flow oil filter. After passing
through the filter element, the oil passes from the
center outlet of the filter through an oil gallery that
channels the oil up to the main gallery, which
extends the entire length on the right side of the
block. The oil then goes down to the No. 1 main bearing, back up to the left side of the block, and into the
oil gallery on the left side of the engine.
Galleries extend downward from the main oil gallery to the upper shell of each main bearing. The
crankshaft is drilled internally to pass oil from the
main bearing journals to the connecting rod journals.
Each connecting rod bearing has half a hole in it, oil
passes through the hole when the rods rotate and the
hole lines up, oil is then thrown off as the rod
rotates. This oil throwoff lubricates the camshaft
lobes, distributor drive gear, cylinder walls, and piston pins.
The hydraulic valve tappets receive oil directly
from the main oil gallery. The camshaft bearings
receive oil from the main bearing galleries. The front
camshaft bearing journal passes oil through the camshaft sprocket to the timing chain. Oil drains back to
the oil pan under the No. 1 main bearing cap.
The oil supply for the rocker arms and bridged
pivot assemblies is provided by the hydraulic valve

The oil then passes down through the push rod guide
holes and the oil drain-back passages in the cylinder
head, past the valve tappet area, and then returns to
the oil pan (Fig. 49).

tappets, which pass oil through hollow push rods to a
hole in the corresponding rocker arm. Oil from the
rocker arm lubricates the valve train components.

Begin with a through visual inspection of the
engine, particularly at the area of the suspected leak.
If an oil leak source is not readily identifiable, the
following steps should be followed:
(1) Do not clean or degrease the engine at this
time because some solvents may cause rubber to
swell, temporarily stopping the leak.
(2) Add an oil-soluble dye (use as recommended by
manufacturer). Start the engine and let idle for
approximately 15 minutes. Check the oil dipstick to
be sure the dye is thoroughly mixed as indicated
with a bright yellow color under a black light source.
(3) Using a black light, inspect the entire engine
for fluorescent dye, particularly at the suspected area
of oil leak. If the oil leak is found and identified,
repair per service manual instructions.

INTAKE MANIFOLD
DESCRIPTION
The aluminum intake manifold (Fig. 64) is a single
plane design with equal length runners and uses a
separate plenum, therefore the manifold does have a
plenum gasket. It also uses separate flange gaskets
and front and rear cross-over gaskets. Extreme care
must be used when sealing the gaskets to ensure
that excess sealant does not enter the intake runners
causing a restriction. Whenever the intake manifold
is removed inspect the plenum pan for evidence of
excess oil buildup, this condition indicates that the
plenum pan gasket is leaking.

OPERATION
The intake manifold, meters and delivers air to the
combustion chambers allowing the fuel delivered by
the fuel injectors to ignite, thus producing power.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING—INTAKE
MANIFOLD LEAKAGE
An intake manifold air leak is characterized by
lower than normal manifold vacuum. Also, one or
more cylinders may not be functioning.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING—CYLINDER
COMPRESSION PRESSURE

• Any causes for combustion/compression pressure
loss

The results of a cylinder compression pressure test
can be utilized to diagnose several engine malfunctions.
Ensure the battery is completely charged and the
engine starter motor is in good operating condition.
Otherwise, the indicated compression pressures may
not be valid for diagnosis purposes.
(1) Clean the spark plug recesses with compressed
air.
(2) Remove the spark plugs (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/IGNITION CONTROL/SPARK PLUG REMOVAL).
(3) Secure the throttle in the wide-open position.
(4) Disconnect the ignition coil.
(5) Insert a compression pressure gauge and rotate
the engine with the engine starter motor for three
revolutions.
(6) Record the compression pressure on the third
revolution. Continue the test for the remaining cylinders.
(Refer to 9 - ENGINE - SPECIFICATIONS) for the
correct engine compression pressures.

WARNING: DO NOT REMOVE THE RADIATOR CAP
WITH THE SYSTEM HOT AND UNDER PRESSURE.
SERIOUS BURNS FROM HOT COOLANT CAN
OCCUR.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - CYLINDER
COMBUSTION PRESSURE LEAKAGE
The combustion pressure leakage test provides an
accurate means for determining engine condition.
Combustion pressure leakage testing will detect:
• Exhaust and intake valve leaks (improper seating)
• Leaks between adjacent cylinders or into water
jacket

Check the coolant level and fill as required. DO
NOT install the radiator cap.
Start and operate the engine until it attains normal operating temperature, then turn OFF the
engine.
Remove the spark plugs.
Remove the oil filler cap.
Remove the air cleaner.
Calibrate the tester according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The shop air source for testing
should maintain 483 kPa (70 psi) minimum, 1,379
kPa (200 psi) maximum and 552 kPa (80 psi) recommended.
Perform the test procedure on each cylinder according to the tester manufacturer’s instructions. While
testing, listen for pressurized air escaping through
the throttle body, tailpipe or oil filler cap opening.
Check for bubbles in the radiator coolant.
All gauge pressure indications should be equal,
with no more than 25% leakage.
FOR EXAMPLE: At 552 kPa (80 psi) input pressure, a minimum of 414 kPa (60 psi) should be maintained in the cylinder CYLINDER COMBUSTION

STANDARD PROCEDURE
STANDARD PROCEDURE—CYLINDER BORE
HONING
Before honing, stuff plenty of clean shop towels
under the bores and over the crankshaft to keep
abrasive materials from entering the crankshaft
area.
(1) Used carefully, the Cylinder Bore Sizing Hone
C-823, equipped with 220 grit stones, is the best tool
for this job. In addition to deglazing, it will reduce
taper and out-of-round, as well as removing light
scuffing, scoring and scratches. Usually, a few strokes
will clean up a bore and maintain the required limits.
CAUTION: DO NOT use rigid type hones to remove
cylinder wall glaze.
(2) Deglazing of the cylinder walls may be done if
the cylinder bore is straight and round. Use a cylinder surfacing hone, Honing Tool C-3501, equipped
with 280 grit stones (C-3501-3810). about 20-60
strokes, depending on the bore condition, will be sufficient to provide a satisfactory surface. Using honing
oil C-3501-3880, or a light honing oil, available from
major oil distributors.
CAUTION: DO NOT use engine or transmission oil,
mineral spirits, or kerosene.
(3) Honing should be done by moving the hone up
and down fast enough to get a crosshatch pattern.
The hone marks should INTERSECT at 50° to 60°
for proper seating of rings (Fig. 3).
(4) A controlled hone motor speed between 200 and
300 RPM is necessary to obtain the proper cross-

Fig. 3 Cylinder Bore Crosshatch Pattern
1 - CROSSHATCH PATTERN
2 - INTERSECT ANGLE

hatch angle. The number of up and down strokes per
minute can be regulated to get the desired 50° to 60°
angle. Faster up and down strokes increase the crosshatch angle.
(5) After honing, it is necessary that the block be
cleaned to remove all traces of abrasive. Use a brush
to wash parts with a solution of hot water and detergent. Dry parts thoroughly. Use a clean, white, lintfree cloth to check that the bore is clean. Oil the
bores after cleaning to prevent rusting.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - FORM-IN-PLACE
GASKETS AND SEALERS

FORM-IN-PLACE GASKET AND SEALER
APPLICATION

There are numerous places where form-in-place
gaskets are used on the engine. Care must be taken
when applying form-in-place gaskets to assure
obtaining the desired results. Do not use form-inplace gasket material unless specified. Bead size,
continuity, and location are of great importance. Too
thin a bead can result in leakage while too much can
result in spill-over which can break off and obstruct
fluid feed lines. A continuous bead of the proper
width is essential to obtain a leak-free gasket.
There are numerous types of form-in-place gasket
materials that are used in the engine area. Mopart
Engine RTV GEN II, Mopart ATF-RTV, and Mopart
Gasket Maker gasket materials, each have different
properties and can not be used in place of the other.
MOPARt ENGINE RTV GEN II
Mopart Engine RTV GEN II is used to seal components exposed to engine oil. This material is a specially designed black silicone rubber RTV that
retains adhesion and sealing properties when
exposed to engine oil. Moisture in the air causes the
material to cure. This material is available in three
ounce tubes and has a shelf life of one year. After one
year this material will not properly cure. Always
inspect the package for the expiration date before
use.
MOPARt ATF RTV
Mopart ATF RTV is a specifically designed black
silicone rubber RTV that retains adhesion and sealing properties to seal components exposed to automatic transmission fluid, engine coolants, and
moisture. This material is available in three ounce
tubes and has a shelf life of one year. After one year
this material will not properly cure. Always inspect
the package for the expiration date before use.
MOPARt GASKET MAKER
Mopart Gasket Maker is an anaerobic type gasket
material. The material cures in the absence of air
when squeezed between two metallic surfaces. It will
not cure if left in the uncovered tube. The anaerobic
material is for use between two machined surfaces.
Do not use on flexible metal flanges.
MOPARt GASKET SEALANT
Mopart Gasket Sealant is a slow drying, permanently soft sealer. This material is recommended for
sealing threaded fittings and gaskets against leakage
of oil and coolant. Can be used on threaded and
machined parts under all temperatures. This material is used on engines with multi-layer steel (MLS)
cylinder head gaskets. This material also will prevent corrosion. Mopart Gasket Sealant is available in
a 13 oz. aerosol can or 4oz./16 oz. can w/applicator.

Assembling parts using a form-in-place gasket
requires care but it’s easier then using precut gaskets.
Mopart Gasket Maker material should be applied
sparingly 1 mm (0.040 in.) diameter or less of sealant
to one gasket surface. Be certain the material surrounds each mounting hole. Excess material can easily be wiped off. Components should be torqued in
place within 15 minutes. The use of a locating dowel
is recommended during assembly to prevent smearing material off the location.
Mopart Engine RTV GEN II or ATF RTV gasket
material should be applied in a continuous bead
approximately 3 mm (0.120 in.) in diameter. All
mounting holes must be circled. For corner sealing, a
3.17 or 6.35 mm (1/8 or 1/4 in.) drop is placed in the
center of the gasket contact area. Uncured sealant
may be removed with a shop towel. Components
should be torqued in place while the sealant is still
wet to the touch (within 10 minutes). The usage of a
locating dowel is recommended during assembly to
prevent smearing material off the location.
Mopart Gasket Sealant in an aerosol can should be
applied using a thin, even coat sprayed completely
over both surfaces to be joined, and both sides of a
gasket. Then proceed with assembly. Material in a
can w/applicator can be brushed on evenly over the
sealing surfaces. Material in an aerosol can should be
used on engines with multi-layer steel gaskets.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - REPAIR DAMAGED
OR WORN THREADS
CAUTION: Be sure that the tapped holes maintain
the original center line.
Damaged or worn threads can be repaired. Essentially, this repair consists of:
• Drilling out worn or damaged threads.
• Tapping the hole with a special Heli-Coil Tap, or
equivalent.
• Installing an insert into the tapped hole to bring
the hole back to its original thread size.

STANDARD PROCEDURE—HYDROSTATIC
LOCK
CAUTION: DO NOT use the starter motor to rotate
the crankshaft. Severe damage could occur.
When an engine is suspected of hydrostatic lock
(regardless of what caused the problem), follow the
steps below.

CYLINDER-TO-CYLINDER LEAKAGE TEST
To determine if an engine cylinder head gasket is
leaking between adjacent cylinders, follow the procedures in Cylinder Compression Pressure Test in this
section. An engine cylinder head gasket leaking
between adjacent cylinders will result in approximately a 50–70% reduction in compression pressure.

CYLINDER-TO-WATER JACKET LEAKAGE TEST
WARNING: USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN THE
ENGINE IS OPERATING WITH COOLANT PRESSURE CAP REMOVED.
VISUAL TEST METHOD
With the engine cool, remove the coolant pressure
cap. Start the engine and allow it to warm up until
thermostat opens.
If a large combustion/compression pressure leak
exists, bubbles will be visible in the coolant.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING—CYLINDER HEAD
GASKET FAILURE
A cylinder head gasket leak can be located between
adjacent cylinders or between a cylinder and the
adjacent water jacket.
• Possible indications of the cylinder head gasket
leaking between adjacent cylinders are:
• Loss of engine power
• Engine misfiring
• Poor fuel economy
• Possible indications of the cylinder head gasket
leaking between a cylinder and an adjacent water
jacket are:
• Engine overheating
• Loss of coolant
• Excessive steam (white smoke) emitting from
exhaust
• Coolant foaming

WARNING: WITH COOLING SYSTEM TESTER IN
PLACE, PRESSURE WILL BUILD UP FAST. EXCESSIVE PRESSURE BUILT UP, BY CONTINUOUS
ENGINE OPERATION, MUST BE RELEASED TO A
SAFE PRESSURE POINT. NEVER PERMIT PRESSURE TO EXCEED 138 kPa (20 psi).
Install Cooling System Tester 7700 or equivalent to
pressure cap neck. Start the engine and observe the
tester’s pressure gauge. If gauge pulsates with every
power stroke of a cylinder a combustion pressure
leak is evident.
CHEMICAL TEST METHOD
Combustion leaks into the cooling system can also
be checked by using Bloc-Chek Kit C-3685-A or
equivalent. Perform test following the procedures
supplied with the tool kit.

REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect the negative cable from the battery.
(2) Drain cooling system (Refer to 7 - COOLING STANDARD PROCEDURE).
(3) Remove the heat shields (Fig. 8).
(4) Remove the intake manifold-to-generator
bracket support rod. Remove the generator (Refer to

using a suitable solvent.
Clean the exhaust manifold to cylinder head mating areas.

INSPECTION
Inspect all surfaces with a straightedge if there is
any reason to suspect leakage. The out-of-flatness
specifications are 0.0007 mm/mm (0.0004 inch/inch),
0.127 mm/152 mm (0.005 inch/6 inches) any direction
or 0.254 mm (0.010 inch) overall across head. If
exceeded, either replace head or lightly machine the
head surface.
The cylinder head surface finish should be
1.78-4.57 microns (15-80 microinches).
Inspect push rods. Replace worn or bent rods.
Inspect rocker arms. Replace if worn or scored.

(2) Measure the concentricity of valve seat using a
dial indicator. Total runout should not exceed 0.038
mm (0.0015 inch) total indicator reading.
(3) Inspect the valve seat with Prussian blue to
determine where the valve contacts the seat. To do
this, coat valve seat LIGHTLY with Prussian blue
then set valve in place. Rotate the valve with light
pressure. If the blue is transferred to the center of
valve face, contact is satisfactory. If the blue is transferred to the top edge of valve face, lower valve seat
with a 15° stone. If the blue is transferred to bottom
edge of valve face raise valve seat with a 60° stone.
(4) When seat is properly positioned the width of
valve seats should be 1.016-1.524 mm (0.040-0.060

VALVE SPRING INSPECTION
Whenever valves have been removed for inspection,
reconditioning or replacement, valve springs should
be tested. As an example the compression length of
the spring to be tested is 1-5/16 inch. Turn table of
Universal Valve Spring Tester Tool until surface is in
line with the 1-5/16 inch mark on the threaded stud.
Be sure the zero mark is to the front (Fig. 19). Place
spring over stud on the table and lift compressing
lever to set tone device. Pull on torque wrench until
ping is heard. Take reading on torque wrench at this
instant. Multiply this reading by 2. This will give the
spring load at test length. Fractional measurements
are indicated on the table for finer adjustments.
Refer to specifications to obtain specified height and

HYDRAULIC LIFTERS
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING—HYDRAULIC
TAPPETS
Before disassembling any part of the engine to correct tappet noise, check the oil pressure. If vehicle
has no oil pressure gauge, install a reliable gauge at
the pressure sending-unit. The pressure should be
between 207-552 kPa (30-80 psi) at 3,000 RPM.
Check the oil level after the engine reaches normal
operating temperature. Allow 5 minutes to stabilize
oil level, check dipstick. The oil level in the pan
should never be above the FULL mark or below the
ADD OIL mark on dipstick. Either of these two conditions could be responsible for noisy tappets.

OIL LEVEL
HIGH
If oil level is above the FULL mark, it is possible
for the connecting rods to dip into the oil. With the
engine running, this condition could create foam in
the oil pan. Foam in oil pan would be fed to the
hydraulic tappets by the oil pump causing them to
lose length and allow valves to seat noisily.
LOW
Low oil level may allow oil pump to take in air.
When air is fed to the tappets, they lose length,
which allows valves to seat noisily. Any leaks on
intake side of oil pump through which air can be
drawn will create the same tappet action. Check the
lubrication system from the intake strainer to the
pump cover, including the relief valve retainer cap.
When tappet noise is due to aeration, it may be
intermittent or constant, and usually more than one
tappet will be noisy. When oil level and leaks have

been corrected, operate the engine at fast idle. Run
engine for a sufficient time to allow all of the air
inside the tappets to be bled out.

TAPPET NOISE DIAGNOSIS
(1) To determine source of tappet noise, operate
engine at idle with cylinder head covers removed.
(2) Feel each valve spring or rocker arm to detect
noisy tappet. The noisy tappet will cause the affected
spring and/or rocker arm to vibrate or feel rough in
operation.
NOTE: Worn valve guides or cocked springs are
sometimes mistaken for noisy tappets. If such is
the case, noise may be dampened by applying side
thrust on the valve spring. If noise is not appreciably reduced, it can be assumed the noise is in the
tappet. Inspect the rocker arm push rod sockets
and push rod ends for wear.
(3) Valve tappet noise ranges from light noise to a
heavy click. A light noise is usually caused by excessive leak-down around the unit plunger, or by the
plunger partially sticking in the tappet body cylinder.
The tappet should be replaced. A heavy click is
caused by a tappet check valve not seating, or by foreign particles wedged between the plunger and the
tappet body. This will cause the plunger to stick in
the down position. This heavy click will be accompanied by excessive clearance between the valve stem
and rocker arm as valve closes. In either case, tappet
assembly should be removed for inspection and cleaning.
(4) The valve train generates a noise very much
like a light tappet noise during normal operation.
Care must be taken to ensure that tappets are making the noise. If more than one tappet seems to be
noisy, it’s probably not the tappets.

LEAK-DOWN TEST
After cleaning and inspection, test each tappet for
specified leak-down rate tolerance to ensure zero-lash
operation (Fig. 36).
Swing the weighted arm of the hydraulic valve tappet tester away from the ram of the Universal LeakDown Tester.
(1) Place a 7.925-7.950 mm (0.312-0.313 inch)
diameter ball bearing on the plunger cap of the tappet.
(2) Lift the ram and position the tappet (with the
ball bearing) inside the tester cup.
(3) Lower the ram, then adjust the nose of the ram
until it contacts the ball bearing. DO NOT tighten
the hex nut on the ram.
(4) Fill the tester cup with hydraulic valve tappet
test oil until the tappet is completely submerged.

9 - 92

HYDRAULIC LIFTERS (Continued)
(5) Swing the weighted arm onto the push rod and
pump the tappet plunger up and down to remove air.
When the air bubbles cease, swing the weighted arm
away and allow the plunger to rise to the normal
position.
(6) Adjust the nose of the ram to align the pointer
with the SET mark on the scale of the tester and
tighten the hex nut.
(7) Slowly swing the weighted arm onto the push
rod.
(8) Rotate the cup by turning the handle at the
base of the tester clockwise one revolution every 2
seconds.
(9) Observe the leak-down time interval from the
instant the pointer aligns with the START mark on
the scale until the pointer aligns with the 0.125
mark. A normally functioning tappet will require
20-110 seconds to leak-down. Discard tappets with
leak-down time interval not within this specification.

(5) Remove upper and lower intake manifold
(Refer to 9 - ENGINE/MANIFOLDS/INTAKE MANIFOLD - REMOVAL).
(6) Cut the cylinder head gasket for accessibility if
the end tappets are to be removed.
(7) Remove yoke retainer spider and tappet aligning yokes (Fig. 37).

PISTON & CONNECTING ROD
DESCRIPTION
The pistons (Fig. 38) are elliptically turned so that
the diameter at the pin boss is less than its diameter
across the thrust face. This allows for expansion
under normal operating conditions. Under operating
temperatures, expansion forces the pin bosses away
from each other, causing the piston to assume a more
nearly round shape.
All pistons are machined to the same weight,
regardless of size, to maintain piston balance.
The piston pin rotates in the piston only and is
retained by the press interference fit of the piston
pin in the connecting rod.
The pistons have a unique dry-film lubricant coating baked onto the skirts to reduce friction. The
lubricant is particularly effective during engine
break-in, but with time, the material becomes embedded into cylinder bore walls and continues to reduce
friction.
The pistons are LH and RH bank specific.

STANDARD PROCEDURE—PISTON FITTING
Piston and cylinder wall must be clean and dry.
Specified clearance between the piston and the cylinder wall is 0.013-0.038 mm (0.0005-0.0015 inch). The
max. allowable clearance is 0.0762 mm (0.003 in.).

Piston diameter should be measured at the top of
skirt, 90° to piston pin axis. Cylinder bores should be
measured halfway down the cylinder bore and transverse to the engine crankshaft center line.
Pistons and cylinder bores should be measured at
normal room temperature, 21°C (70°F).
(1) To correctly select the proper size piston, a cylinder bore gauge, capable of reading in .00019
INCREMENTS is required (Fig. 39). If a bore gauge
is not available, do not use an inside micrometer.The
coating material is applied to the piston after the
final piston machining process. Measuring the outside diameter of a coated piston will not provide
accurate results. Therefore measuring the inside
diameter of the cylinder bore with a dial Bore Gauge
is MANDATORY. . To correctly select the proper size
piston, a cylinder bore gauge capable of reading in
.00019 increments is required.Piston installation into
the cylinder bore require slightly more pressure than
that required for non-coated pistons. The bonded

9 - 94

coating on the piston will give the appearance of a
line-to-line fit with the cylinder bore.

CLEANING
Clean the piston and connecting rod assembly
using a suitable solvent.

INSPECTION
Check the connecting rod journal for excessive
wear, taper and scoring (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/ENGINE BLOCK/CONNECTING ROD BEARINGS STANDARD PROCEDURE).
Check the connecting rod for signs of twist or bending.
Check the piston for taper and elliptical shape
before it is fitted into the cylinder bore (Refer to 9 ENGINE/ENGINE BLOCK/PISTON & CONNECTING ROD - STANDARD PROCEDURE).
Check the piston for scoring, or scraping marks in
the piston skirts. Check the ring lands for cracks
and/or deterioration.

The pump draws oil through the screen and inlet
tube from the sump at the rear of the oil pan. The oil
is driven between the inner and outer gears of the oil
pump, then forced through the outlet in the engine
front cover. An oil gallery in the front cover channels
the oil to the inlet side of the full flow oil filter. After
passing through the filter element, the oil passes
from the center outlet of the filter through an oil gallery that channels the oil up to the tappet galleries,
which extends the entire length of block.
Galleries extend downward from the main oil gallery to the upper shell of each main bearing. The
crankshaft is drilled internally to pass oil from the
main bearing journals to the connecting rod journals.
Each connecting rod bearing has half a hole in it, oil
passes through the hole when the rods rotate and the
hole lines up, oil is then thrown off as the rod
rotates. This oil throwoff lubricates the camshaft
lobes, cylinder walls, and piston pins.
The hydraulic valve tappets receive oil directly
from the main oil gallery. The camshaft bearings
receive oil from the main bearing galleries. The front
camshaft bearing journal passes oil through the camshaft sprocket to the timing chain. Oil drains back to
the oil pan under the No. 1 main bearing cap.
The oil supply for the rocker arms and bridged
pivot assemblies is provided by the hydraulic valve
tappets, which pass oil through hollow push rods to a
hole in the corresponding rocker arm. Oil from the
rocker arm lubricates the valve train components.
The oil then passes down through the push rod guide

Begin with a through visual inspection of the
engine, particularly at the area of the suspected leak.
If an oil leak source is not readily identifiable, the
following steps should be followed:
(1) Do not clean or degrease the engine at this
time because some solvents may cause rubber to
swell, temporarily stopping the leak.
(2) Add an oil-soluble dye (use as recommended by
manufacturer). Start the engine and let idle for
approximately 15 minutes. Check the oil dipstick to
be sure the dye is thoroughly mixed as indicated
with a bright yellow color under a black light source.
(3) Using a black light, inspect the entire engine
for fluorescent dye, particularly at the suspected area
of oil leak. If the oil leak is found and identified,
repair per service manual instructions.
(4) If dye is not observed, drive the vehicle at various speeds for approximately 24km (15 miles), and
repeat previous step.

ENGINE 5.9L DIESEL
DESCRIPTION

CumminsT 24 Valve Turbo Diesel Engine
The cylinder block is constructed of cast iron. The
casting is a skirted design which incorporates longitudal ribs for superior strength and noise reduction.
The block incorporates metric straight thread o-ring
fittings at lubrication oil access points. The engine is

manufactured with the cylinders being a non-sleeved
type cylinder. However, one approved service method
is to bore out the cylinders and add cylinder sleeves
to the cylinder block.

STANDARD PROCEDURE
STANDARD PROCEDURE - FORM-IN-PLACE
GASKETS AND SEALERS
There are numerous places where form-in-place
gaskets are used on the engine. Care must be taken
when applying form-in-place gaskets to assure
obtaining the desired results. Do not use form-inplace gasket material unless specified. Bead size,
continuity, and location are of great importance. Too
thin a bead can result in leakage while too much can
result in spill-over which can break off and obstruct
fluid feed lines. A continuous bead of the proper
width is essential to obtain a leak-free gasket.
There are numerous types of form-in-place gasket
materials that are used in the engine area. Mopart
Engine RTV GEN II, Mopart ATF-RTV, and Mopart
Gasket Maker gasket materials, each have different
properties and can not be used in place of the other.
MOPARt ENGINE RTV GEN II
Mopart Engine RTV GEN II is used to seal components exposed to engine oil. This material is a specially designed black silicone rubber RTV that
retains adhesion and sealing properties when
exposed to engine oil. Moisture in the air causes the
material to cure. This material is available in three
ounce tubes and has a shelf life of one year. After one
year this material will not properly cure. Always
inspect the package for the expiration date before
use.
MOPARt ATF RTV
Mopart ATF RTV is a specifically designed black
silicone rubber RTV that retains adhesion and sealing properties to seal components exposed to automatic transmission fluid, engine coolants, and
moisture. This material is available in three ounce
tubes and has a shelf life of one year. After one year
this material will not properly cure. Always inspect
the package for the expiration date before use.
MOPARt GASKET MAKER
Mopart Gasket Maker is an anaerobic type gasket
material. The material cures in the absence of air
when squeezed between two metallic surfaces. It will
not cure if left in the uncovered tube. The anaerobic
material is for use between two machined surfaces.
Do not use on flexible metal flanges.
MOPARt GASKET SEALANT
Mopart Gasket Sealant is a slow drying, permanently soft sealer. This material is recommended for
sealing threaded fittings and gaskets against leakage
of oil and coolant. Can be used on threaded and
machined parts under all temperatures. This material is used on engines with multi-layer steel (MLS)
cylinder head gaskets. This material also will prevent corrosion. Mopart Gasket Sealant is available in
a 13 oz. aerosol can or 4oz./16 oz. can w/applicator.

BR/BE

FORM-IN-PLACE GASKET AND SEALER
APPLICATION
Assembling parts using a form-in-place gasket
requires care but it’s easier then using precut gaskets.
Mopart Gasket Maker material should be applied
sparingly 1 mm (0.040 in.) diameter or less of sealant
to one gasket surface. Be certain the material surrounds each mounting hole. Excess material can easily be wiped off. Components should be torqued in
place within 15 minutes. The use of a locating dowel
is recommended during assembly to prevent smearing material off the location.
Mopart Engine RTV GEN II or ATF RTV gasket
material should be applied in a continuous bead
approximately 3 mm (0.120 in.) in diameter. All
mounting holes must be circled. For corner sealing, a
3.17 or 6.35 mm (1/8 or 1/4 in.) drop is placed in the
center of the gasket contact area. Uncured sealant
may be removed with a shop towel. Components
should be torqued in place while the sealant is still
wet to the touch (within 10 minutes). The usage of a
locating dowel is recommended during assembly to
prevent smearing material off the location.
Mopart Gasket Sealant in an aerosol can should be
applied using a thin, even coat sprayed completely
over both surfaces to be joined, and both sides of a
gasket. Then proceed with assembly. Material in a
can w/applicator can be brushed on evenly over the
sealing surfaces. Material in an aerosol can should be
used on engines with multi-layer steel gaskets.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - REPAIR DAMAGED
OR WORN THREADS
CAUTION: Be sure that the tapped holes maintain
the original center line.
Damaged or worn threads can be repaired. Essentially, this repair consists of:
• Drilling out worn or damaged threads.
• Tapping the hole with a special Heli-Coil Tap, or
equivalent.
• Installing an insert into the tapped hole to bring
the hole back to its original thread size.

STANDARD PROCEDURE—HYDROSTATIC
LOCK
CAUTION: DO NOT use the starter motor to rotate
the crankshaft. Severe damage could occur.
When an engine is suspected of hydrostatic lock
(regardless of what caused the problem), follow the
steps below.

the engine. The data plate is located on the left side
of the engine, affixed to the gear housing. Information that can be found on the data plate includes:
• Date of Engine Manufacture
• Engine Serial Number
• Control Parts List (CPL)
• Engine Rated Horsepower
• Engine Firing Order
• Engine Displacement
• Valve Lash Reset Specifications
If the engine data plate is missing or not legible,
the engine serial number is used for engine identification. The engine serial number is stamped on the

(Fig. 10) .

AIR CLEANER ELEMENT
REMOVAL
Testing Air Cleaner Element using Filter Minder
Do not attempt to unnecessarily remove the
top of the air cleaner housing for air cleaner
element inspection on diesel engines.
The air cleaner (filter) housing is equipped with an
air Filter Minder™ gauge (Fig. 11). This air flow

The Filter Minder™ consists of a diaphragm and
calibrated spring sealed inside of a plastic housing
(Fig. 12). A yellow colored disc attached to the diaphragm moves along a graduated scale on the side of
the Filter Minder. After the engine has been shut off,
a ratcheting device located within the Filter Minder
will hold the yellow disc at the highest restriction
that the air cleaner element has experienced. A drop
in air pressure due to an air cleaner element restriction moves the diaphragm and the yellow disc will
indicate the size of the air drop.

engine degreasers or cleaners are to be used.

Removal
(1) Loosen air inlet tube clamp at air cleaner housing inlet (Fig. 11). Remove this tube at air cleaner
housing cover.
(2) The housing cover is equipped with four (4)
spring clips (Fig. 11) and is hinged at front with plastic tabs. Unlatch clips from top of air cleaner housing
and tilt housing cover up and forward for cover
removal.
(3) Remove air cleaner element from air cleaner
housing.

PRESS BUTTON TO RESET
YELLOW DISC
RED ZONE
TO AIR FILTER HOUSING
FILTER MINDER

To test, turn the engine off. If the yellow disc (Fig.
12) has reached the red colored zone on the graduated scale, the air cleaner element should be
replaced. Refer to the proceeding removal/installation
paragraphs.
Resetting the Filter Minder: After the air
cleaner (filter) element has been replaced, press the
rubber button on the top of the Filter Minder (Fig.
12). This will allow the yellow colored disc to reset.
After the button has been pressed, the yellow disc
should spring back to the UP position.
If the Filter Minder gauge has reached the red colored zone, and after an examination of the air
cleaner (filter) element, the element appears to be
clean, the high reading may be due to a temporary
condition such as snow build-up at the air intake.
Temporary high restrictions may also occur if the air
cleaner (filter) element has gotten wet such as during
a heavy rain or snow. If this occurs, allow the element to dry out during normal engine operation.
Reset the rubber button on the top of the Filter
Minder and retest after the element has dried.

CYLINDER HEAD

INSPECTION
INSPECTION—CYLINDER HEAD
Inspect the cylinder head for cracks in the combustion surface. Pressure test any cylinder head that is
visibly cracked. A cylinder head that is cracked
between the injector bore and valve seat can be pressure tested and reused if OK; however, if the crack
extends into the valve seat, the valve seat must be
replaced.
Visually inspect the cylinder block and head combustion surfaces for localized dips or imperfections.
Check the cylinder head and block combustion surfaces for overall out-of-flatness. If either the visual or
manual inspection exceeds the limits, then the head
or block must be surfaced.
Check the top surface for damage caused by the
cylinder head gasket leaking between cylinders.
Inspect the block and head surface for nicks, erosion, etc.
Check the head distortion (Fig. 25). The distortion
of the combustion deck face is not to exceed 0.010
mm (0.0004 inch) in any 50.8 mm (2.00 inch) diame-

If the bolts are not damaged, their “free length”
should be measured using the cap screw stretch
gauge provided with the replacement head gasket.
Place the head of the bolt against the base of the slot
and align the bolt with the straight edge of gauge
(Fig. 26). If the end of the bolt touches the foot of the
gauge, the bolt mustbe discarded. The maximum
bolt free length is 132.1 mm (5.200 in.).

REFACING
(1) The combustion deck can be refaced twice. The
first reface should be 0.25 mm (0.0098 inch). If additional refacing is required, an additional 0.25 mm
(0.0098 inch) can be removed. Total allowed refacing
is 0.50 mm (0.0197 inch) - (Fig. 68).
(2) The upper right corner of the rear face of the
block must be stamped with a X when the block is
refaced to 0.25 mm (0.0098 inch). A second X must be
stamped beside the first when the block is refaced to
0.50 mm (0.0197 inch) - (Fig. 69).
(3) Consult the parts catalog for the proper head
gaskets which must be used with refaced blocks to

STANDARD PROCEDURE - CYLINDER BORE DE-GLAZE
(1) New piston rings may not seat in glazed cylinder bores.
(2) De-glazing gives the bore the correct surface
finish required to seat the rings. The size of the bore
is not changed by proper de-glazing.
(3) Cover the lube holes in the top of the block
with waterproof tape.
(4) A correctly honed surface will have a crosshatch appearance with the lines at 15° to 25° angles
(Fig. 70). For the rough hone, use 80 grit honing
stones. To finish hone, use 280 grit honing stones.
(5) Use a drill, a fine grit Flex-hone and a mixture
of equal parts of mineral spirits and SAE 30W engine
oil to de-glaze the bores.

Fig. 69 Stamp Block after Reface
(6) The crosshatch angle is a function of drill
speed and how fast the hone is moved vertically (Fig.
71).
(7) Vertical strokes MUST be smooth continuous
passes along the full length of the bore (Fig. 71).
(8) Inspect the bore after 10 strokes.
(9) Use a strong solution of hot water and laundry
detergent to clean the bores. Clean the cylinder bores
immediately after de-glazing.

(10) Rinse the bores until the detergent is removed
and blow the block dry with compressed air.
(11) Check the bore cleanliness by wiping with a
white, lint free, lightly oiled cloth. If grit residue is
still present, repeat the cleaning process until all residue is removed. Wash the bores and the complete
block assembly with solvent and dry with compressed
air.
(12) Be sure to remove the tape covering the lube
holes after the cleaning process is complete.

STANDARD PROCEDURE—CYLINDER BORE
REPAIR

Any combination of standard, 0.50 mm (0.0197
inch) or 1.00 mm (0.0393 inch) overbore may be used
in the same engine.
If more than 1.00 mm (0.0393 inch) overbore is
needed, a repair sleeve can be installed (refer to
Method 2—Repair Sleeve).
Cylinder block bores may be bored twice before use
of a repair sleeve is required (Fig. 72). The first bore
is 0.50 mm (0.0197 inch) oversize. The second bore is
1.00 mm (0.0393 inch) oversize.
After boring to size, use a honing stone to chamfer
the edge of the bore (Fig. 72).

(5) Before removing the piston(s) from the bore(s):
(a) Remove any carbon ridge formations or
deposits at the top of the bore with a dull scraper
or soft wire brush.
(b) If cylinder bore wear ridges are found, use a
ridge reamer to cut the ridge from the bore. DO
NOT remove more metal than necessary to remove
the ridge.
NOTE: If cylinders have ridges, the cylinders are
oversize and will more than likely need boring.
(6) Using a hammer and steel stamp, identify the
front of the piston by stamping the cylinder number
in each piston to be removed at the top of the piston
toward the front of the engine. DO NOT stamp in the
outside 5 mm (.197 in.) of the piston diameter.
(7) Mark the connecting rod and cap with the corresponding cylinder numbers.
(8) Remove the connecting rod bolts and rod caps.
Use care so the cylinder bores and connecting rods
are not damaged.
(9) Use a hammer handle or similar object to push
the piston and connecting rod through the cylinder
bore.
(10) Store the piston/rod assemblies in a rack.
(11) If a piston must be replaced, replace with the
same part number (grading) that was removed.

Inspect the pistons for damage and excessive wear.
Check top of the piston, ring grooves, skirt and pin
bore. Measure the piston skirt diameter (Fig. 128). If
the piston is out of limits, replace the piston.
The upper groove only needs to be inspected for
damage. Use a new piston ring to measure the clearance in the intermediate ring groove (Fig. 129). If the
clearance of the intermediate ring exceeds 0.095 mm
(0.0038 inch), replace the piston.
Use a new oil ring to measure the clearance in the
oil groove (Fig. 129). If the clearance exceeds 0.085
mm (0.0034 inch), replace the piston.
Measure the pin bore (Fig. 130). The maximum
diameter is 40.012 mm (1.5753 inch). If the bore is
over limits, replace the piston.
Inspect the piston pin for nicks, gouges and excessive wear. Measure the pin diameter (Fig. 131). The
minimum diameter is 39.990 mm (1.5744 inch). If the
diameter is out of limits, replace the pin.

A gear driven gerotor type oil pump is mounted
behind the front gear cover in the lower right portion
on the engine.

OPERATION
A gerotor style oil pump draws oil from the crankcase through the suction tube and delivers it through
the block where it enters the oil cooler cover and
pressure regulator valve. When oil pressure exceeds
449 kPa (65 PSI), the valve opens exposing the dump
port, which routes excess oil back to the oil sump.
At the same time, oil is directed to a cast in passage in the oil cooler cover, leading to the oil cooler
element. As the oil travels through the element
plates, it is cooled by engine coolant traveling past
the outside of the plates. It is then routed to the oil
filter head and through a full flow oil filter. If a
plugged filter is encountered, the filter by-pass valve
opens, allowing unfiltered oil to lubricate the engine.
This condition can be avoided by frequent oil and filter changes, per the maintenance schedules found in
the owners manual. The by-pass valve is calibrated
to open when it sees a pressure drop of more than
344 kPa (50 psi) across the oil filter.
The oil filter head then divides the oil between the
engine and the turbocharger. The turbocharger
receives filtered, cooled and pressurized oil through a
supply line from the filter head. The oil lubricates
the turbocharger and returns to the pan by way of a
drain tube connecting the bottom of the turbocharger
to a pressed in tube in the cylinder block.
Oil is then carried across the block to an angle
drilling which intersects the main oil rifle. The main

ENGINE 5.9L DIESEL

BR/BE

9 - 175

LUBRICATION (Continued)

Fig. 147 Engine Rear Support Cushion Assembly
oil rifle runs the length of the block and delivers oil
to the crankshaft main journals and valve train. Oil
travels to the crankshaft through a series of transfer
drillings (one for each main bearing) and lubricates a
groove in the main bearing upper shell. From there
another drilling feeds the camshaft main journals.
The piston cooling nozzles are also supplied by the
main bearing upper shell. Crankshaft internal crossdrillings supply oil to the connecting rod journals.

Another series of transfer drillings intersecting the
main oil rifle supply the valve train components. Oil
travels up the drilling, through a hole in the head
gasket, and through a drilling in the cylinder head
(one per cylinder), where it enters the rocker arm
pedestal and is divided between the intake and
exhaust rocker arm. Oil travels up and around the
rocker arm mounting bolt, and lubricates the rocker
shaft by cross drillings that intersect the mounting
bolt hole. Grooves at both ends of the rocker shaft
supply oil through the rocker arm where the oil travels to the push rod and socket balls (Fig. 148) and
(Fig. 149).

The federal gasoline engine exhaust system (Fig. 1)
consists of engine exhaust manifolds, exhaust pipes,
catalytic converter(s), extension pipe (if needed),
exhaust heat shields, muffler and exhaust tailpipe.
The California emission vehicles exhaust system
also contains the above components as well as mini
catalytic converters added to the exhaust pipe (Fig.

TURBOCHARGER
DESCRIPTION
The turbocharger is an exhaust-driven supercharger which increases the pressure and density of
the air entering the engine. With the increase of air
entering the engine, more fuel can be injected into
the cylinders, which creates more power during combustion.
The turbocharger assembly consists of four (4)
major component systems (Fig. 19) (Fig. 20) :
• Turbine section
• Compressor section
• Bearing housing
• Wastegate

OPERATION
Exhaust gas pressure and energy drive the turbine, which in turn drives a centrifugal compressor
that compresses the inlet air, and forces the air into
the engine through the charge air cooler and plumbing. Since heat is a by-product of this compression,
the air must pass through a charge air cooler to cool
the incoming air and maintain power and efficiency.
Increasing air flow to the engine provides:
• Improved engine performance
• Lower exhaust smoke density
• Improved operating economy
• Altitude compensation
• Noise reduction.
The turbocharger also uses a wastegate (Fig. 21) ,
which regulates intake manifold air pressure and
prevents over boosting at high engine speeds. When
the wastegate valve is closed, all of the exhaust gases
flow through the turbine wheel. As the intake manifold pressure increases, the wastegate actuator opens

the valve, diverting some of the exhaust gases away
from the turbine wheel. This limits turbine shaft
speed and air output from the impeller.

The turbocharger is lubricated by engine oil that is
pressurized, cooled, and filtered. The oil is delivered
to the turbocharger by a supply line that is tapped
into the oil filter head. The oil travels into the bearing housing, where it lubricates the shaft and bearings (Fig. 22). A return pipe at the bottom of the
bearing housing, routes the engine oil back to the
crankcase.
The most common turbocharger failure is bearing
failure related to repeated hot shutdowns with inadequate “cool-down” periods. A sudden engine shut
down after prolonged operation will result in the
transfer of heat from the turbine section of the turbocharger to the bearing housing. This causes the oil

to overheat and break down, which causes bearing
and shaft damage the next time the vehicle is
started.
Letting the engine idle after extended operation
allows the turbine housing to cool to normal operating temperature. The following chart should be used
as a guide in determining the amount of engine idle
time required to sufficiently cool down the turbocharger before shut down, depending upon the type
of driving and the amount of cargo.

REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect the battery negative cables.
(2) Raise vehicle on hoist.
(3) Disconnect the exhaust pipe from the turbocharger elbow (Fig. 23).
(4) Lower vehicle.
(5) Disconnect the turbocharger air inlet hose (Fig.
24).
(6) Disconnect the turbocharger oil supply line and
the oil drain tube from the turbocharger (Fig. 25).
(7) Disconnect the charge air cooler inlet pipe from
the turbocharger (Fig. 25).
(8) Remove the turbocharger and gasket from the
exhaust manifold.
(9) If the turbocharger is not to be installed immediately, cover the opening to prevent material from
entering into the manifold.
(10) If replacing the turbocharger, transfer the discharge elbow and clamp to the new assembly.
(11) Clean and inspect the sealing surface.

CLEANING
Clean the turbocharger and exhaust manifold
mounting surfaces with a suitable scraper.

Visually inspect the turbocharger and exhaust
manifold gasket surfaces. Replace stripped or eroded
mounting studs.
(1) Visually inspect the turbocharger for cracks.
The following cracks are NOT acceptable:
• Cracks in the turbine and compressor housing
that go completely through.
• Cracks in the mounting flange that are longer
than 15 mm (0.6 in.).
• Cracks in the mounting flange that intersect
bolt through-holes.
• Two (2) Cracks in the mounting flange that are
closer than 6.4 mm (0.25 in.) together.
(2) Visually inspect the impeller and compressor
wheel fins for nicks, cracks, or chips. Note: Some
impellers may have a factory placed paint mark
which, after normal operation, appears to be a crack.
Remove this mark with a suitable solvent to verify
that it is not a crack.
(3) Visually inspect the turbocharger compressor
housing for an impeller rubbing condition (Fig. 26).
Replace the turbocharger if the condition exists.
(4) Measure the turbocharger axial end play:
(a) Install a dial indicator as shown in (Fig. 27).
Zero the indicator at one end of travel.

EXHAUST SYSTEM

BR/BE

(b) Move the impeller shaft fore and aft and
record the measurement. Allowable end play is
0.038 mm (0.0015 in.) MIN. and 0.089 mm (0.0035
in.) MAX. If the recorded measurement falls outside these parameters, replace the turbocharger
assembly.
(5) Measure the turbocharger bearing radial clearance:
(a) Insert a narrow blade or wire style feeler
gauge between the compressor wheel and the housing (Fig. 28).
(b) Gently push the compresser wheel toward
the housing and record the clearance.
(c) With the feeler gauge in the same location,
gently push the compressor wheel away from the
housing and again record the clearance.
(d) Subtract the smaller clearance from the
larger clearance. This is the radial bearing clearance.
(e) Allowable radial bearing clearance is 0.326
mm (0.0128 in.) MIN. and 0.496 mm (0.0195 in.)
MAX. If the recorded measurement falls outside
these specifications, replace the turbocharger assy.

CHARGE AIR COOLER AND
PLUMBING
DESCRIPTION
The charge air system (Fig. 29) consists of the
charge air cooler piping, charge air cooler and intake
air grid heater.
The charge air cooler is a heat exchanger that uses
air flow from vehicle motion to dissipate heat from
the intake air. As the turbocharger increases air
pressure, the air temperature increases. Lowering
the intake air temperature increases engine efficiency and power.

(2) Insert Special Tool 8442 Adapter into the rubber sleeve. Tighten existing clamp to 8 N·m (72
in.lbs.).
CAUTION: Do not apply more than 138 kpa (20 psi)
air pressure to the charge air cooler system, sever
damage to the charge air cooler system may occur.
(3) Connect regulated air supply to air fitting on
Special Tool 8442 Adapter. Set air pressure to a Maximum of 138 kpa (20 psi).
(4) Using soapy water check the air inlet ducts,
rubber sleeves, charge air cooler and intake manifold
for leaks.

Fig. 29 Intake Air Circulation
1 - CHARGE AIR COOLER
2 - AIRFILTER
3 - TURBOCHARGER

OPERATION
Intake air is drawn through the air cleaner and
into the turbocharger compressor housing. Pressurized air from the turbocharger then flows forward
through the charge air cooler located in front of the
radiator. From the charge air cooler the air flows
back into the intake manifold.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - CHARGE AIR
COOLER SYSTEM - LEAKS
Low turbocharger boost pressure and low engine
preformance can be caused by leaks in the charge air
cooler or it’s plumbing. The following procedure outlines how to check for leaks in the charge air cooler
system.

DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
The BR/BE frame is the structural center of the
vehicle. In addition to supporting the body and payload, the frame provides a station for the engine and
drivetrain. BR/BE trucks have a ladder type frame
with Box-section front rails, dropped center section,
and open-channel side rails in the rear.
Cross members attach to the side rails with rivets,
welds, or bolts. The cab is isolated from the frame
with rubber load cushions with through bolts. The
cargo box or bed is attached to the frame with bolts.
The frame is designed to absorb and dissipate flexing and twisting due to acceleration, braking, cornering, and road surface variances without bending
when subjected to normal driving conditions.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND WARNINGS

DRILLING HOLES
Do not drill holes in frame side rail top and bottom
flanges, metal fatigue can result causing frame failure. Holes drilled in the side of the frame rail must
be at least 38 mm (1.5 in.) from the top and bottom
flanges.
Additional drill holes should be located away from
existing holes.

WARNING: USE EYE PROTECTION WHEN GRINDING OR WELDING METAL, SERIOUS EYE INJURY
CAN RESULT. BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH FRAME
REPAIR INVOLVING GRINDING OR WELDING, VERIFY THAT VEHICLE FUEL SYSTEM IS NOT LEAKING
OR IN CONTACT WITH REPAIR AREA, PERSONAL
INJURY CAN RESULT. DO NOT ALLOW OPEN
FLAME TO CONTACT PLASTIC BODY PANELS.
FIRE OR EXPLOSION CAN RESULT. WHEN
WELDED FRAME COMPONENTS ARE REPLACED,
100% PENETRATION WELD MUST BE ACHIEVED
DURING INSTALLATION. IF NOT, DANGEROUS
OPERATING CONDITIONS CAN RESULT. STAND
CLEAR OF CABLES OR CHAINS ON PULLING
EQUIPMENT DURING FRAME STRAIGHTENING
OPERATIONS, PERSONAL INJURY CAN RESULT.
DO NOT VENTURE UNDER A HOISTED VEHICLE
THAT IS NOT SUPPORTED ON SAFETY STANDS,
PERSONAL INJURY CAN RESULT.
CAUTION: Do not reuse damaged fasteners, quality
of repair would be suspect. Do not drill holes in top
or bottom frame rail flanges, frame rail failure can
result. Do Not use softer than Grade 5 bolts to
replace production fasteners, loosening or failure
can result. When using heat to straighten frame
components do not exceed 566°C (1050°F), metal
fatigue can result. Welding the joints around riveted
cross members and frame side rails can weaken
frame.

WELDING
Use MIG, TIG or arc welding equipment to repair
welded frame components.
Frame components that have been damaged should
be inspected for cracks before returning the vehicle
to use. If cracks are found in accessible frame components perform the following procedures.
(1) Drill a hole at each end of the crack with a 3
mm (O.125 in.) diameter drill bit.
(2) Using a suitable die grinder with 3 inch cut off
wheel, V-groove the crack to allow 100% weld penetration.
(3) Weld the crack.
(4) If necessary when a side rail is repaired, grind
the weld smooth and install a reinforcement channel
(Fig. 9) over the repaired area.
NOTE: If a reinforcement channel is required, the
top and bottom flanges should be 0.250 inches narrower than the side rail flanges. Weld only in the
areas indicated (Fig. 9).

FRAME STRAIGHTENING
When necessary, a conventional frame that is bent
or twisted can be straightened by application of heat.
The temperature must not exceed 566°C (1050°F).
The metal will have a dull red glow at the desired
temperature. Excessive heat will decrease the
strength of the metal and result in a weakened
frame.
Welding the joints around riveted cross members
and frame side rails is not recommended.
A straightening repair process should be limited to
frame members that are not severely damaged. The
replacement bolts, nuts and rivets that are used to
join the frame members should conform to the same
specifications as the original bolts, nuts and rivets.

FRAME (Continued)

FRAME FASTENERS
Bolts, nuts and rivets can be used to repair frames
or to install a reinforcement section on the frame.
Bolts can be used in place of rivets. When replacing
rivets with bolts, install the next larger size diameter
bolt to assure proper fit. If necessary, ream the hole
out just enough to sufficiently receive the bolt.
Conical-type washers are preferred over the splitring type lock washers. Normally, grade-5 bolts are
adequate for frame repair. Grade-3 bolts or softer
should not be used. Tightening bolts/nuts with the

correct torque, refer to the Introduction Group at the
front of this manual for tightening information.

FUEL DELIVERY - GASOLINE

FUEL DELIVERY - GASOLINE
DESCRIPTION - FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM
The fuel delivery system consists of:
• the fuel pump module containing the electric
fuel pump, fuel filter/fuel pressure regulator, rollover
valve (certain modules), fuel gauge sending unit (fuel
level sensor) and a separate fuel filter located at bottom of pump module
• fuel tubes/lines/hoses
• quick-connect fittings
• fuel injector rail
• fuel injectors
• fuel tank
• fuel tank filler/vent tube assembly
• fuel tank filler tube cap
• accelerator pedal
• throttle cable

OPERATION - FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM
Fuel is returned through the fuel pump module
and back into the fuel tank through the fuel filter/
fuel pressure regulator. A separate fuel return line
from the engine to the tank is not used with any gasoline powered engine.
The fuel tank assembly consists of: the fuel tank,
fuel pump module assembly, fuel pump module locknut/gasket and fuel tank check valve(s) (refer to 25,
Emission Control System for Fuel Tank Check Valve
information).
A fuel filler/vent tube assembly using a pressure/
vacuum, 1/4 turn fuel filler cap is used. The fuel
filler tube contains a flap door located below the fuel
fill cap.
Also to be considered part of the fuel system is the
evaporation control system. This is designed to
reduce the emission of fuel vapors into the atmosphere. The description and function of the Evaporative Control System is found in 25, Emission Control
Systems.
Both fuel filters (at bottom of fuel pump module
and within fuel pressure regulator) are designed for
extended service. They do not require normal scheduled maintenance. Filters should only be replaced if
a diagnostic procedure indicates to do so.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - FUEL PRESSURE
LEAK DOWN TEST
Use this test in conjunction with the Fuel Pump
Pressure Test and Fuel Pump Capacity Test.
Check Valve Operation: The electric fuel pump
outlet contains a one-way check valve to prevent fuel
flow back into the tank and to maintain fuel supply
line pressure (engine warm) when pump is not operational. It is also used to keep the fuel supply line

BR/BE

full of gasoline when pump is not operational. After
the vehicle has cooled down, fuel pressure may drop
to 0 psi (cold fluid contracts), but liquid gasoline will
remain in fuel supply line between the check valve
and fuel injectors. Fuel pressure that has
dropped to 0 psi on a cooled down vehicle
(engine off) is a normal condition. When the electric fuel pump is activated, fuel pressure should
immediately (1–2 seconds) rise to specification.
Abnormally long periods of cranking to restart a
hot engine that has been shut down for a short
period of time may be caused by:
• Fuel pressure bleeding past a fuel injector(s).
• Fuel pressure bleeding past the check valve in
the fuel pump module.
(1) Disconnect the fuel inlet line at fuel rail. Refer
to Fuel Tubes/Lines/Hoses and Clamps for procedures. On some engines, air cleaner housing removal
may be necessary before fuel line disconnection.
(2) Obtain correct Fuel Line Pressure Test Adapter
Tool Hose. Tool number 6539 is used for 5/16” fuel
lines and tool number 6631 is used for 3/8” fuel lines.
(3) Connect correct Fuel Line Pressure Test
Adapter Tool Hose between disconnected fuel line
and fuel rail (Fig. 1).

(4) Connect the 0-414 kPa (0-60 psi) fuel pressure
test gauge (from Gauge Set 5069) to the test port on
the appropriate Adaptor Tool. The DRBt III Scan
Tool along with the PEP module, the 500 psi
pressure transducer, and the transducer-to-test
port adapter may also be used in place of the
fuel pressure gauge.
The fittings on both tools must be in good
condition and free from any small leaks before
performing the proceeding test.
(5) Start engine and bring to normal operating
temperature.
(6) Observe test gauge. Normal operating pressure
should be 339 kPa +/–34 kPa (49.2 psi +/–5 psi).
(7) Shut engine off.
(8) Pressure should not fall below 30 psi for five
minutes.
(9) If pressure falls below 30 psi, it must be determined if a fuel injector, the check valve within the
fuel pump module, or a fuel tube/line is leaking.
(10) Again, start engine and bring to normal operating temperature.
(11) Shut engine off.
(12) Testing for fuel injector or fuel rail leakage: Clamp off the rubber hose portion of Adaptor
Tool between the fuel rail and the test port “T” on
Adapter Tool. If pressure now holds at or above 30
psi, a fuel injector or the fuel rail is leaking.
(13) Testing for fuel pump check valve, filter/
regulator check valve or fuel tube/line leakage:
Clamp off the rubber hose portion of Adaptor Tool
between the vehicle fuel line and test port “T” on
Adapter Tool. If pressure now holds at or above 30
psi, a leak may be found at a fuel tube/line. If no
leaks are found at fuel tubes or lines, one of the
check valves in either the electric fuel pump or filter/
regulator may be leaking.
Note: A quick loss of pressure usually indicates a
defective check valve in the filter/regulator. A slow
loss of pressure usually indicates a defective check
valve in the electric fuel pump.
The electric fuel pump is not serviced separately.
Replace the fuel pump module assembly. The filter/
regulator may be replaced separately on certain
applications. Refer to Fuel Filter/Fuel Pressure Regulator Removal/Installation for additional information.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - FUEL SYSTEM

FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT /
SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
The fuel gauge sending unit (fuel level sensor) is
attached to the side of the fuel pump module. The
sending unit consists of a float, an arm, and a variable resistor track (card).

OPERATION
The fuel pump module has 4 different circuits
(wires). Two of these circuits are used for the fuel
gauge sending unit for fuel gauge operation, and for
certain OBD II emission requirements. The other 2
wires are used for electric fuel pump operation.
For Fuel Gauge Operation: A constant current
source of about 32 mA is supplied to the resistor

track on the fuel gauge sending unit. This is fed
directly from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
The resistor track is used to vary the voltage depending on fuel tank float level. As fuel level increases,
the float and arm move up, which decreases voltage.
As fuel level decreases, the float and arm move
down, which increases voltage. The varied voltage
signal is returned back to the PCM through the sensor return circuit. Output voltages will vary from
about .6 volts at FULL, to about 8.6 volts at EMPTY
(Jeep models), or, about 7.0 volts at EMPTY (Dodge
Truck models). NOTE: For diagnostic purposes,
this voltage can only be verified with the fuel
gauge sending unit circuit closed (i.e. having all
of the sending units electrical connectors connected).
Both of the electrical circuits between the fuel
gauge sending unit and the PCM are hard-wired (not
multi-plexed). After the voltage signal is sent from
the resistor track, and back to the PCM, the PCM
will interpret the resistance (voltage) data and send
a message across the multi-plex bus circuits to the
instrument panel cluster. Here it is translated into
the appropriate fuel gauge level reading. Refer to
Instrument Panel for additional information.
For OBD II Emission Monitor Requirements:
The PCM will monitor the voltage output sent from
the resistor track on the sending unit to indicate fuel
level. The purpose of this feature is to prevent the
OBD II system from recording/setting false misfire
and fuel system monitor diagnostic trouble codes.
The feature is activated if the fuel level in the tank
is less than approximately 15 percent of its rated
capacity. If equipped with a Leak Detection Pump
(EVAP system monitor), this feature will also be activated if the fuel level in the tank is more than
approximately 85 percent of its rated capacity.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - FUEL GAUGE
SENDING UNIT
The fuel gauge sending unit contains a variable
resistor (track). As the float moves up or down, electrical resistance will change. Refer to Instrument
Panel and Gauges under Electrical for Fuel Gauge
testing. To test the gauge sending unit only, it must
be removed from vehicle. The unit is part of the fuel
pump module. Refer to Fuel Pump Module Removal/
Installation for procedures. Measure the resistance
across the sending unit terminals. With float in up
position, resistance should be 20 ohms ±6 ohms. With
float in down position, resistance should be 220 ohms
±6 ohms.

WARNING: THE FUEL SYSTEM IS UNDER A CONSTANT PRESSURE (EVEN WITH THE ENGINE OFF).
BEFORE SERVICING ANY FUEL SYSTEM HOSES,
FITTINGS OR LINES, THE FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE MUST BE RELEASED. REFER TO THE FUEL
SYSTEM PRESSURE RELEASE PROCEDURE IN
THIS GROUP.
The lines/tubes/hoses used on fuel injected vehicles
are of a special construction. This is due to the
higher fuel pressures and the possibility of contaminated fuel in this system. If it is necessary to replace
these lines/tubes/hoses, only those marked EFM/EFI
may be used.
If equipped: The hose clamps used to secure rubber hoses on fuel injected vehicles are of a special
rolled edge construction. This construction is used to
prevent the edge of the clamp from cutting into the
hose. Only these rolled edge type clamps may be
used in this system. All other types of clamps may
cut into the hoses and cause high-pressure fuel leaks.
Use new original equipment type hose clamps.

FUEL PUMP
DESCRIPTION
The electric fuel pump is located inside of the fuel
pump module. A 12 volt, permanent magnet, electric
motor powers the fuel pump. The electric fuel pump
is not a separate, serviceable component.

OPERATION
Voltage to operate the electric pump is supplied
through the fuel pump relay.
Fuel is drawn in through a filter at the bottom of
the module and pushed through the electric motor
gearset to the pump outlet.
Check Valve Operation: The pump outlet contains a one-way check valve to prevent fuel flow back
into the tank and to maintain fuel supply line pressure (engine warm) when pump is not operational. It
is also used to keep the fuel supply line full of gasoline when pump is not operational. After the vehicle
has cooled down, fuel pressure may drop to 0 psi
(cold fluid contracts), but liquid gasoline will remain
in fuel supply line between the check valve and fuel
injectors. Fuel pressure that has dropped to 0
psi on a cooled down vehicle (engine off) is a
normal condition. Refer to the Fuel Pressure Leak
Down Test for more information.
The electric fuel pump is not a separate, serviceable component.

FUEL TANK
DESCRIPTION
The fuel tank is constructed of a plastic material.
Its main functions are for fuel storage and for placement of the fuel pump module.

OPERATION
All models pass a full 360 degree rollover test
without fuel leakage. To accomplish this, fuel and
vapor flow controls are required for all fuel tank connections.
A fuel tank check valve(s) is mounted into the top
of the fuel tank (or pump module). Refer to Emission
Control System for fuel tank check valve information.
An evaporation control system is connected to the
rollover valve(s) to reduce emissions of fuel vapors
into the atmosphere. When fuel evaporates from the
fuel tank, vapors pass through vent hoses or tubes to
a charcoal canister where they are temporarily held.
When the engine is running, the vapors are drawn
into the intake manifold. Certain models are also
equipped with a self-diagnosing system using a Leak
Detection Pump (LDP). Refer to Emission Control
System for additional information.

REMOVAL
WARNING: GASOLINE POWERED ENGINES: THE
FUEL SYSTEM IS UNDER A CONSTANT PRESSURE
EVEN WITH THE ENGINE OFF. BEFORE SERVICING
THE FUEL TANK, FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE MUST
BE RELEASED. REFER TO THE FUEL SYSTEM
PRESSURE RELEASE PROCEDURE BEFORE SERVICING THE FUEL TANK.
Two different procedures may be used to drain fuel
tank (lowering tank or using DRB scan tool). When
equipped with a diesel engine, the DRB scan tool
cannot be used (no electric fuel pump).
The quickest draining procedure involves lowering
the fuel tank.
Gasoline Powered Engines: As an alternative
procedure, the electric fuel pump may be activated
allowing tank to be drained at fuel rail connection.
Refer to DRB scan tool for fuel pump activation procedures. Before disconnecting fuel line at fuel rail,
release fuel pressure. Refer to the Fuel System Pressure Release Procedure in this group for procedures.

OPERATION
OPERATION - 5.9L
Engine speed and crankshaft position are provided
through the CKP sensor. The sensor generates pulses
that are the input sent to the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM). The PCM interprets the sensor input
to determine the crankshaft position. The PCM then
uses this position, along with other inputs, to determine injector sequence and ignition timing.
The sensor is a hall effect device combined with an
internal magnet. It is also sensitive to steel within a
certain distance from it.
On 5.9L V-8 engines, the flywheel/drive plate has 8
single notches, spaced every 45 degrees, at its outer
edge (Fig. 24).
The notches cause a pulse to be generated when
they pass under the sensor. The pulses are the input
to the PCM. For each engine revolution, there are 8
pulses generated on V-8 engines.
The engine will not operate if the PCM does not
receive a CKP sensor input.

CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR (Continued)
There are five sets of notches. Each set contains
two notches. Basic ignition timing is determined by
the position of the last notch in each set of notches.
Once the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) senses
the last notch, it will determine crankshaft position
(which piston will next be at Top Dead Center). An
input from the camshaft position sensor is also
needed. It may take the module up to one complete
engine revolution to determine crankshaft position
during engine cranking.
The PCM uses the signal from the camshaft position sensor to determine fuel injector sequence. Once
crankshaft position has been determined, the PCM
begins energizing a ground circuit to each fuel injector to provide injector operation.

FUEL PUMP RELAY
DESCRIPTION
The 5–pin, 12–volt, fuel pump relay is located in
the Power Distribution Center (PDC). Refer to the
label on the PDC cover for relay location.

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

IDLE AIR CONTROL MOTOR
DESCRIPTION
The IAC stepper motor is mounted to the throttle
body, and regulates the amount of air bypassing the
control of the throttle plate. As engine loads and
ambient temperatures change, engine rpm changes.
A pintle on the IAC stepper motor protrudes into a
passage in the throttle body, controlling air flow
through the passage. The IAC is controlled by the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) to maintain the
target engine idle speed.

OPERATION
At idle, engine speed can be increased by retracting the IAC motor pintle and allowing more air to
pass through the port, or it can be decreased by
restricting the passage with the pintle and diminishing the amount of air bypassing the throttle plate.
The IAC is called a stepper motor because it is
moved (rotated) in steps, or increments. Opening the
IAC opens an air passage around the throttle blade
which increases RPM.
The PCM uses the IAC motor to control idle speed
(along with timing) and to reach a desired MAP during decel (keep engine from stalling).
The IAC motor has 4 wires with 4 circuits. Two of
the wires are for 12 volts and ground to supply electrical current to the motor windings to operate the
stepper motor in one direction. The other 2 wires are
also for 12 volts and ground to supply electrical current to operate the stepper motor in the opposite
direction.

BR/BE

FUEL INJECTION - GASOLINE

14 - 41

IDLE AIR CONTROL MOTOR (Continued)
To make the IAC go in the opposite direction, the
PCM just reverses polarity on both windings. If only
1 wire is open, the IAC can only be moved 1 step
(increment) in either direction. To keep the IAC
motor in position when no movement is needed, the
PCM will energize both windings at the same time.
This locks the IAC motor in place.
In the IAC motor system, the PCM will count
every step that the motor is moved. This allows the
PCM to determine the motor pintle position. If the
memory is cleared, the PCM no longer knows the
position of the pintle. So at the first key ON, the
PCM drives the IAC motor closed, regardless of
where it was before. This zeros the counter. From
this point the PCM will back out the IAC motor and
keep track of its position again.
When engine rpm is above idle speed, the IAC is
used for the following:
• Off-idle dashpot (throttle blade will close quickly
but idle speed will not stop quickly)
• Deceleration air flow control
• A/C compressor load control (also opens the passage slightly before the compressor is engaged so
that the engine rpm does not dip down when the
compressor engages)
• Power steering load control
The PCM can control polarity of the circuit to control direction of the stepper motor.
IAC Stepper Motor Program: The PCM is also
equipped with a memory program that records the
number of steps the IAC stepper motor most recently
advanced to during a certain set of parameters. For
example: The PCM was attempting to maintain a
1000 rpm target during a cold start-up cycle. The last
recorded number of steps for that may have been
125. That value would be recorded in the memory
cell so that the next time the PCM recognizes the
identical conditions, the PCM recalls that 125 steps
were required to maintain the target. This program
allows for greater customer satisfaction due to
greater control of engine idle.
Another function of the memory program, which
occurs when the power steering switch (if equipped),
or the A/C request circuit, requires that the IAC stepper motor control engine rpm, is the recording of the
last targeted steps into the memory cell. The PCM
can anticipate A/C compressor loads. This is accomplished by delaying compressor operation for approximately 0.5 seconds until the PCM moves the IAC
stepper motor to the recorded steps that were loaded
into the memory cell. Using this program helps eliminate idle-quality changes as loads change. Finally,
the PCM incorporates a 9No-Load9 engine speed limiter of approximately 1800 - 2000 rpm, when it recognizes that the TPS is indicating an idle signal and
IAC motor cannot maintain engine idle.

A (factory adjusted) set screw is used to mechanically limit the position of the throttle body throttle
plate. Never attempt to adjust the engine idle
speed using this screw. All idle speed functions are
controlled by the IAC motor through the PCM.

MANIFOLD ABSOLUTE
PRESSURE SENSOR
DESCRIPTION - 5.9L/8.0L
On 5.9L engines, the MAP sensor is mounted on
the side of the engine throttle body. The sensor is
connected to the throttle body with a rubber
L-shaped fitting.

On the 8.0L 10–cylinder engine, the MAP sensor is
mounted into the right side of the intake manifold.

OPERATION - 5.9L/8.0L
The MAP sensor is used as an input to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). It contains a silicon
based sensing unit to provide data on the manifold
vacuum that draws the air/fuel mixture into the combustion chamber. The PCM requires this information
to determine injector pulse width and spark advance.
When manifold absolute pressure (MAP) equals
Barometric pressure, the pulse width will be at maximum.
A 5 volt reference is supplied from the PCM and
returns a voltage signal to the PCM that reflects
manifold pressure. The zero pressure reading is 0.5V
and full scale is 4.5V. For a pressure swing of 0–15
psi, the voltage changes 4.0V. To operate the sensor,
it is supplied a regulated 4.8 to 5.1 volts. Ground is
provided through the low-noise, sensor return circuit
at the PCM.
The MAP sensor input is the number one contributor to fuel injector pulse width. The most important
function of the MAP sensor is to determine barometric pressure. The PCM needs to know if the vehicle is
at sea level or at a higher altitude, because the air
density changes with altitude. It will also help to correct for varying barometric pressure. Barometric
pressure and altitude have a direct inverse correlation; as altitude goes up, barometric goes down. At
key-on, the PCM powers up and looks at MAP voltage, and based upon the voltage it sees, it knows the
current barometric pressure (relative to altitude).
Once the engine starts, the PCM looks at the voltage
again, continuously every 12 milliseconds, and compares the current voltage to what it was at key-on.
The difference between current voltage and what it
was at key-on, is manifold vacuum.
During key-on (engine not running) the sensor
reads (updates) barometric pressure. A normal range
can be obtained by monitoring a known good sensor.
As the altitude increases, the air becomes thinner
(less oxygen). If a vehicle is started and driven to a
very different altitude than where it was at key-on,
the barometric pressure needs to be updated. Any
time the PCM sees Wide Open Throttle (WOT), based
upon Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) angle and RPM,
it will update barometric pressure in the MAP memory cell. With periodic updates, the PCM can make
its calculations more effectively.
The PCM uses the MAP sensor input to aid in calculating the following:
• Manifold pressure
• Barometric pressure
• Engine load
• Injector pulse-width

14 - 44

FUEL INJECTION - GASOLINE

BR/BE

MANIFOLD ABSOLUTE PRESSURE SENSOR (Continued)
• Spark-advance programs
• Shift-point strategies (certain automatic transmissions only)
• Idle speed
• Decel fuel shutoff
The MAP sensor signal is provided from a single
piezoresistive element located in the center of a diaphragm. The element and diaphragm are both made
of silicone. As manifold pressure changes, the diaphragm moves causing the element to deflect, which
stresses the silicone. When silicone is exposed to
stress, its resistance changes. As manifold vacuum
increases, the MAP sensor input voltage decreases
proportionally. The sensor also contains electronics
that condition the signal and provide temperature
compensation.
The PCM recognizes a decrease in manifold pressure by monitoring a decrease in voltage from the
reading stored in the barometric pressure memory
cell. The MAP sensor is a linear sensor; meaning as
pressure changes, voltage changes proportionately.
The range of voltage output from the sensor is usually between 4.6 volts at sea level to as low as 0.3
volts at 26 in. of Hg. Barometric pressure is the pressure exerted by the atmosphere upon an object. At
sea level on a standard day, no storm, barometric
pressure is approximately 29.92 in Hg. For every 100
feet of altitude, barometric pressure drops .10 in. Hg.
If a storm goes through it can change barometric
pressure from what should be present for that altitude. You should know what the average pressure
and corresponding barometric pressure is for your
area.

O2 SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
The Oxygen Sensors (O2S) are attached to, and
protrude into the vehicle exhaust system. Depending
on the emission package, the vehicle may use a total
of either 2 or 4 sensors.
Medium and Heavy Duty 8.0L V-10 Engine:
Four sensors are used (2 upstream, 1 pre-catalyst
and 1 post-catalyst). With this emission package, the
1/1 upstream sensor (left side) is located in the left
exhaust downpipe before both the pre-catalyst sensor
(1/2), and the main catalytic convertor. The 2/1
upstream sensor (right side) is located in the right
exhaust downpipe before both the pre-catalyst sensor
(1/2), and the main catalytic convertor. The pre-catalyst sensor (1/2) is located after the 1/1 and 2/1 sensors, and just before the main catalytic convertor.
The post-catalyst sensor (1/3) is located just after the
main catalytic convertor.
Heavy Duty 5.9L Engine: Two sensors are used.
They are both referred to as upstream sensors (left
side is referred to as 1/1 and right side is referred to
as 2/1). With this emission package, a sensor is
located in each of the exhaust downpipes before the
main catalytic convertor.

OPERATION
An O2 sensor is a galvanic battery that provides
the PCM with a voltage signal (0-1 volt) inversely
proportional to the amount of oxygen in the exhaust.
In other words, if the oxygen content is low, the voltage output is high; if the oxygen content is high the
output voltage is low. The PCM uses this information
to adjust injector pulse-width to achieve the
14.7–to–1 air/fuel ratio necessary for proper engine
operation and to control emissions.
The O2 sensor must have a source of oxygen from
outside of the exhaust stream for comparison. Current O2 sensors receive their fresh oxygen (outside
air) supply through the O2 sensor case housing.
Four wires (circuits) are used on each O2 sensor: a
12–volt feed circuit for the sensor heating element; a
ground circuit for the heater element; a low-noise
sensor return circuit to the PCM, and an input circuit from the sensor back to the PCM to detect sensor operation.
Oxygen
Sensor
Heaters/Heater
Relays:
Depending on the emissions package, the heating elements within the sensors will be supplied voltage
from either the ASD relay, or 2 separate oxygen sensor relays. Refer to 8, Wiring Diagrams to determine
which relays are used.
The O2 sensor uses a Positive Thermal Co-efficient
(PTC) heater element. As temperature increases,
resistance increases. At ambient temperatures

14 - 46

FUEL INJECTION - GASOLINE

BR/BE

O2 SENSOR (Continued)
around 70°F, the resistance of the heating element is
approximately 4.5 ohms. As the sensor’s temperature
increases, resistance in the heater element increases.
This allows the heater to maintain the optimum
operating temperature of approximately 930°-1100°F
(500°-600° C). Although the sensors operate the
same, there are physical differences, due to the environment that they operate in, that keep them from
being interchangeable.
Maintaining correct sensor temperature at all
times allows the system to enter into closed loop
operation sooner. Also, it allows the system to remain
in closed loop operation during periods of extended
idle.
In Closed Loop operation, the PCM monitors certain O2 sensor input(s) along with other inputs, and
adjusts the injector pulse width accordingly. During
Open Loop operation, the PCM ignores the O2 sensor
input. The PCM adjusts injector pulse width based
on preprogrammed (fixed) values and inputs from
other sensors.
Upstream Sensors: Two upstream sensors are
used (1/1 and 2/1). The 1/1 sensor is the first sensor
to receive exhaust gases from the #1 cylinder. They
provide an input voltage to the PCM. The input tells
the PCM the oxygen content of the exhaust gas. The
PCM uses this information to fine tune fuel delivery
to maintain the correct oxygen content at the downstream oxygen sensors. The PCM will change the air/
fuel ratio until the upstream sensors input a voltage
that the PCM has determined will make the downstream sensors output (oxygen content) correct.
The upstream oxygen sensors also provide an input
to determine mini-catalyst efficiency. Main catalytic
convertor efficiency is not calculated with this package.
Downstream Sensors: Two downstream sensors
are used (1/2 and 2/2). The downstream sensors are
used to determine the correct air-fuel ratio. As the
oxygen content changes at the downstream sensor,
the PCM calculates how much air-fuel ratio change is
required. The PCM then looks at the upstream oxygen sensor voltage, and changes fuel delivery until
the upstream sensor voltage changes enough to correct the downstream sensor voltage (oxygen content).
The downstream oxygen sensors also provide an
input to determine mini-catalyst efficiency. Main catalytic convertor efficiency is not calculated with this
package.
Medium and Heavy Duty 8.0L V-10 Engine:
Four oxygen sensors are used (2 upstream, 1 pre-catalyst and 1 post-catalyst). The upstream sensors (1/1
and 2/1) will fine-tune the air-fuel ratio through the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The pre-catalyst
(1/2) and post-catalyst (1/3) sensors will determine
catalytic convertor efficiency (efficiency of the main

catalytic convertor). This is also done through the
PCM.
Heavy Duty 5.9L Engine: Downstream sensors
are not used with this emissions package, meaning
catalytic convertor efficiency is not calculated with
this package. Two upstream sensors are used. The
left upstream sensor (1/1) will monitor cylinders 1, 3,
5 and 7. The right upstream sensor (2/1) will monitor
cylinders 2, 4, 6 and 8. The PCM monitors the oxygen content of the sensors, and will fine-tune the airfuel ratio.
Engines equipped with either a downstream sensor(s), or a post-catalytic sensor, will monitor catalytic convertor efficiency. If efficiency is below
emission standards, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp
(MIL) will be illuminated and a Diagnostic Trouble
Code (DTC) will be set. Refer to Monitored Systems
in Emission Control Systems for additional information.

REMOVAL
Never apply any type of grease to the oxygen
sensor electrical connector, or attempt any soldering of the sensor wiring harness.
The O2S (oxygen sensors) are numbered 1/1, 1/2,
1/3, 2/1 and 2/2.
On HDC engines, the pre-catalyst/post catalyst
O2S sensors are located at the inlet and outlet ends
of the catalytic converter (Fig. 38).
The 1/1 and 2/1 sensors are located before the
mini-cats (Fig. 39). The 1/2 and 2/2 sensors are
located after the mini-cats (Fig. 39).

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

OPERATION

CAUTION: When disconnecting the sensor electrical
connector, do not pull directly on wire going into
sensor.

Filtered air from the air cleaner enters the intake
manifold through the throttle body. The throttle body
contains an air control passage controlled by an Idle
Air Control (IAC) motor. The air control passage is
used to supply air for idle conditions. A throttle valve
(plate) is used to supply air for above idle conditions.
Certain sensors are attached to the throttle body.
The accelerator pedal cable, speed control cable and
transmission control cable (when equipped) are connected to the throttle body linkage arm.
A (factory adjusted) set screw is used to mechanically limit the position of the throttle body throttle
plate. Never attempt to adjust the engine idle
speed using this screw. All idle speed functions are
controlled by the PCM.

(3) Remove the O2S sensor with an oxygen sensor
removal and installation tool.

PTO SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
This Powertrain Control Module (PCM) input is
used only on models equipped with aftermarket
Power Take Off (PTO) units.

OPERATION
The input is used only to tell the PCM that the
PTO has been engaged. The PCM will disable (temporarily shut down) certain OBD II diagnostic trouble codes when the PTO is engaged.
When the aftermarket PTO switch has been
engaged, a 12V + signal is sent through circuit G113
to PCM pin A13. The PCM will then sense and determine that the PTO has been activated.

A (factory adjusted) set screw is used to mechanically limit the position of the throttle body throttle
plate. Never attempt to adjust the engine idle
speed using this screw. All idle speed functions are
controlled by the powertrain control module (PCM).

plastic cable retainer to this index tab.

The TPS is a 3–wire variable resistor that provides
the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) with an input
signal (voltage) that represents the throttle blade
position of the throttle body. The sensor is connected
to the throttle blade shaft. As the position of the
throttle blade changes, the resistance (output voltage) of the TPS changes.
The PCM supplies approximately 5 volts to the
TPS. The TPS output voltage (input signal to the
PCM) represents the throttle blade position. The
PCM receives an input signal voltage from the TPS.
This will vary in an approximate range of from .26
volts at minimum throttle opening (idle), to 4.49 volts
at wide open throttle. Along with inputs from other
sensors, the PCM uses the TPS input to determine
current engine operating conditions. In response to
engine operating conditions, the PCM will adjust fuel
injector pulse width and ignition timing.
The PCM needs to identify the actions and position
of the throttle blade at all times. This information is
needed to assist in performing the following calculations:
• Ignition timing advance
• Fuel injection pulse-width
• Idle (learned value or minimum TPS)
• Off-idle (0.06 volt)
• Wide Open Throttle (WOT) open loop (2.608
volts above learned idle voltage)
• Deceleration fuel lean out
• Fuel cutoff during cranking at WOT (2.608 volts
above learned idle voltage)
• A/C WOT cutoff (certain automatic transmissions only)

FUEL INJECTOR
DESCRIPTION
A separate fuel injector (Fig. 50) is used for each
individual cylinder.

The nozzle (outlet) ends of the injectors are positioned into openings in the intake manifold just
above the intake valve ports of the cylinder head.
The engine wiring harness connector for each fuel
injector is equipped with an attached numerical tag
(INJ 1, INJ 2 etc.). This is used to identify each fuel
injector.
The injectors are energized individually in a
sequential order by the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). The PCM will adjust injector pulse width by
switching the ground path to each individual injector
on and off. Injector pulse width is the period of time
that the injector is energized. The PCM will adjust
injector pulse width based on various inputs it
receives.
Battery voltage is supplied to the injectors through
the ASD relay.
The PCM determines injector pulse width based on
various inputs.

OPERATION - PCM OUTPUT

Fig. 50 Fuel Injector
1 - FUEL INJECTOR
2 - NOZZLE
3 - TOP (FUEL ENTRY)

OPERATION
OPERATION
The fuel injectors are electrical solenoids. The
injector contains a pintle that closes off an orifice at
the nozzle end. When electric current is supplied to
the injector, the armature and needle move a short
distance against a spring, allowing fuel to flow out
the orifice. Because the fuel is under high pressure, a
fine spray is developed in the shape of a pencil
stream. The spraying action atomizes the fuel, adding it to the air entering the combustion chamber.
An individual fuel injector is used for each individual cylinder. The top (fuel entry) end of the injector is
attached into an opening on the fuel rail.

The nozzle ends of the injectors are positioned into
openings in the intake manifold just above the intake
valve ports of the cylinder head. The engine wiring
harness connector for each fuel injector is equipped
with an attached numerical tag (INJ 1, INJ 2 etc.).
This is used to identify each fuel injector with its
respective cylinder number.
The injectors are energized individually in a
sequential order by the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). The PCM will adjust injector pulse width by
switching the ground path to each individual injector
on and off. Injector pulse width is the period of time
that the injector is energized. The PCM will adjust
injector pulse width based on various inputs it
receives.
Battery voltage (12 volts +) is supplied to the injectors through the ASD relay. The ASD relay will shutdown the 12 volt power source to the fuel injectors if
the PCM senses the ignition is on, but the engine is
not running. This occurs after the engine has not
been running for approximately 1.8 seconds.
The PCM determines injector on-time (pulse width)
based on various inputs.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - FUEL SYSTEM AIR
LEAK VACUUM TEST
The proceeding test will determine if a fuel system
air leak exists at the engine. Air leaks will cause
hard starting and/or poor performance.
A hand-operated vacuum pump/gauge equipped
with a remote or built-on fluid container will be used.
A typical hand-operated pump is shown in (Fig. 2).
The use of a hand-operated pump with a fluid container will prevent fuel oil from entering and possibly
damaging pump. Two rubber caps (one 5/16” and one
3/8”) will also be used to temporarily plug / seal fuel
system.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - AIR IN FUEL
SYSTEM
Air will enter the fuel system whenever fuel supply
lines, separator filters, injection pump, high-pressure
lines or injectors are removed or disconnected. Air
trapped in the fuel system can result in hard starting, a rough running engine, engine misfire, low
power, excessive smoke and fuel knock. After service
is performed, air must be bled from the system
before starting the engine.
Inspect the fuel system from the fuel transfer
pump to the injectors for loose connections. Leaking
fuel is an indicator of loose connections or defective
seals. Air can also enter the fuel system between the
fuel tank and the transfer pump. Inspect the fuel
tank and fuel lines for damage that might allow air
into the system.
For air bleeding, refer to the Air Bleed Procedure.

LOW-PRESSURE LINES
Fuel supply line restrictions or a defective fuel
transfer pump can cause starting problems and prevent engine from accelerating. The starting problems
include; low power and/or white fog like exhaust.
Test all fuel supply lines for restrictions or blockage. Flush or replace as necessary. Bleed fuel system
of air once a fuel supply line has been replaced. Refer
to Air Bleed Procedure for procedures.
To test for fuel line restrictions, a vacuum restriction test may be performed. Refer to Fuel Transfer
Pump Pressure Test.

HIGH-PRESSURE LINES
Restricted (kinked or bent) high-pressure lines can
cause starting problems, poor engine performance,
engine mis-fire and white smoke from exhaust.
Examine all high-pressure lines for any damage.
Each radius on each high-pressure line must be
smooth and free of any bends or kinks.
Replace damaged, restricted or leaking high-pressure fuel lines with correct replacement line.

Refer to Fuel Filter/Water Separator removal/installation for procedures.

STANDARD PROCEDURES - CLEANING FUEL
SYSTEM PARTS
CAUTION: Cleanliness cannot be overemphasized
when handling or replacing diesel fuel system components. This especially includes the fuel injectors,
high-pressure fuel lines and fuel injection pump.
Very tight tolerances are used with these parts. Dirt
contamination could cause rapid part wear and possible plugging of fuel injector nozzle tip holes. This
in turn could lead to possible engine misfire.
Always wash/clean any fuel system component
thoroughly before disassembly and then air dry.
Cap or cover any open part after disassembly.
Before assembly, examine each part for dirt, grease
or other contaminants and clean if necessary. When
installing new parts, lubricate them with clean
engine oil or clean diesel fuel only.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - AIR BLEED
A certain amount of air becomes trapped in the
fuel system when fuel system components on the
supply and/or high-pressure side are serviced or
replaced. Primary air bleeding is accomplished using
the electric fuel transfer (lift) pump. If the vehicle
has been allowed to run completely out of fuel, the
fuel injectors must also be bled as the fuel injection
pump is not self-bleeding (priming).
Servicing or replacing components on the fuel
return side will not require air bleeding.
WARNING: DO NOT BLEED AIR FROM THE FUEL
SYSTEM OF A HOT ENGINE.
(1) Loosen, but do not remove, banjo bolt (test port
fitting) holding low-pressure fuel supply line to side
of fuel injection pump (Fig. 11). Place a shop towel
around banjo fitting to catch excess fuel.
The fuel transfer (lift) pump is self-priming: When
the key is first turned on (without cranking engine),
the pump operates for approximately 2 seconds and
then shuts off. The pump will also operate for up to
25 seconds after the starter is quickly engaged, and
then disengaged without allowing the engine to start.
The pump shuts off immediately if the key is on and
the engine stops running.
(2) Turn key to CRANK position and quickly
release key to ON position before engine starts. This

will operate fuel transfer pump for approximately 25
seconds.
(3) If fuel is not present at fuel supply line after
25 seconds, turn key OFF. Repeat previous step until
fuel is exiting at fuel supply line.
(4) Tighten banjo bolt at fuel supply line to 24 N·m
(18 ft. lbs.) torque. Primary air bleeding is now completed.
(5) Attempt to start engine. If engine will not
start, proceed to following steps. If engine does
start, it may run erratically and be very noisy
for a few minutes. This is a normal condition.
(6) Continue to next step if:
• The vehicle fuel tank has been allowed to run
empty
• The fuel injection pump has been replaced
• High-pressure fuel lines have been replaced
• Vehicle has not been operated after an extended
period
CAUTION: Do not engage the starter motor for more
than 30 seconds at a time. Allow two minutes
between cranking intervals.
(7) Perform previous air bleeding procedure steps
using fuel transfer pump. Be sure fuel is present at
fuel supply line (Fig. 11) before proceeding.

FUEL HEATER
DESCRIPTION
The fuel heater assembly is located on the side of
the fuel filter housing (Fig. 18).
The heater/element assembly is equipped with a
temperature sensor (thermostat) that senses fuel
temperature. This sensor is attached to the fuel heater/element assembly.

OPERATION
The fuel heater is used to prevent diesel fuel from
waxing during cold weather operation.
When the temperature is below 45 ±8 degrees F,
the temperature sensor allows current to flow to the
heater element warming the fuel. When the temperature is above 75 ±8 degrees F, the sensor stops current flow to the heater element.
Battery voltage to operate the fuel heater element
is supplied from the ignition switch and through the
fuel heater relay. Also refer to Fuel Heater Relay.
The fuel heater element and fuel heater relay
are not computer controlled.
The heater element operates on 12 volts, 300 watts
at 0 degrees F.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - FUEL HEATER
The fuel heater is used to prevent diesel fuel from
waxing during cold weather operation.
NOTE: The fuel heater element, fuel heater relay
and fuel heater temperature sensor are not controlled by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
A malfunctioning fuel heater can cause a wax
build-up in the fuel filter/water separator. Wax
build-up in the filter/separator can cause engine
starting problems and prevent the engine from revving up. It can also cause blue or white fog-like
exhaust. If the heater is not operating in cold temperatures, the engine may not operate due to fuel
waxing.
The fuel heater assembly is located on the side of
the fuel filter housing (Fig. 19).
The heater assembly is equipped with a built-in
fuel temperature sensor (thermostat) that senses fuel
temperature. When fuel temperature drops below 45
degrees ± 8 degrees F, the sensor allows current to
flow to the built-in heater element to warm the fuel.
When fuel temperature rises above 75 degrees ± 8
degrees F, the sensor stops current flow to the heater
element (circuit is open).

(2) With electrical connector disconnected at sensor and key OFF, check electrical/mechanical operation of fuel temperature sensor. Proceed to next step:
(3) Using an ohmmeter, check for continuity across
two terminals in electrical connector at side of sensor. Sensor circuit should be open if fuel temperature
has risen above 75 degrees ± 8 degrees F. Sensor circuit should be closed if fuel temperature has dropped
below 45 degrees ± 8 degrees F. If not, replace fuel
heater assembly. This same test can also be performed using a voltmeter, with key ON, and by backprobing connector.

REMOVAL/INSTALLATION
The fuel heater/element/sensor assembly is located
inside of the fuel filter housing. Refer to Fuel Filter/
Water Separator Removal/Installation for procedures.

The fuel heater relay is located in Power Distribution Center (PDC) (Fig. 20). Refer to label on inside
of PDC cover for relay location.

Voltage to operate the fuel heater element is supplied from the ignition switch, through the fuel
heater relay (also refer to Fuel Heater Relay), to the
fuel temperature sensor and on to the fuel heater element.
The heater element operates on 12 volts, 300 watts
at 0 degrees F. As temperature increases, power
requirements decrease.
A minimum of 7 volts is required to operate the
fuel heater. The resistance value of the heater element is less than 1 ohm (cold) and up to 1000 ohms
warm.

TESTING
(1) Disconnect electrical connector at sensor (Fig.
19).
Turn key to ON position. 12 volts should be
present at red wire. If not, check fuel heater relay
and related wiring. Refer to Relay Test—Fuel Heater.
If OK, proceed.
Turn key OFF. Check black wire in connector for
ground continuity with an ohmmeter. If continuity is
not present, correct open ground circuit. This test can
also be performed with a voltmeter by backprobing

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - FUEL HEATER
RELAY
The fuel heater relay is located in the Power Distribution Center (PDC). Refer to label under PDC
cover for relay location.
To test the fuel heater, refer to Fuel Heater Test.
To test the heater relay only, refer to following:
The relay terminal numbers from (Fig. 21) can be
found on the bottom of the relay.
• Terminal number 30 is connected to battery voltage and can be switched or B+ (hot) at all times.
• The center terminal number 87A is connected (a
circuit is formed) to terminal 30 in the de-energized
(normally OFF) position.
• Terminal number 87 is connected (a circuit is
formed) to terminal 30 in the energized (ON) position. Terminal number 87 then supplies battery voltage to the component being operated.
• Terminal number 86 is connected to a switched
(+) power source.
• Terminal number 85 is grounded by the powertrain control module (PCM).

TESTING
(1) Remove relay before testing.
(2) Using an ohmmeter, perform a resistance test
between terminals 85 and 86. Resistance value
(ohms) should be 75 ±5 ohms for resistor equipped
relays.
(3) Connect the ohmmeter between terminals number
87A and 30. Continuity should be present at this time.
(4) Connect the ohmmeter between terminals number 87 and 30. Continuity should not be present at
this time.
(5) Use a set of jumper wires (16 gauge or smaller). Connect one jumper wire between terminal number 85 (on the relay) to the ground side (-) of a 12
Volt power source.
(6) Attach the other jumper wire to the positive
side (+) of a 12V power source. Do not connect this
jumper wire to relay at this time.
CAUTION: Do not allow the ohmmeter to contact
terminals 85 or 86 during these tests. Damage to
ohmmeter may result.

OPERATION
The Bosch VP44 fuel injection pump (Fig. 25) is a
solenoid-valve
controlled-radial-piston-distributor
type pump.

The injection pump is driven by the engine camshaft. A gear on the end of the pump shaft meshes
with the camshaft gear. The pump is timed to the
engine. The VP44 is controlled by an integral (and
non-serviceable) Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM)
(Fig. 24). The FPCM can operate the engine as an
engine controller if a Crankshaft Position Sensor
(CKP) signal is not present.
Fuel from the transfer (lift) pump enters the VP44
where it is pressurized and then distributed through
high-pressure lines to the fuel injectors. The VP44 is
cooled by the fuel that flows through it. A greater
quantity of fuel is required for cooling the VP44 than
what is necessary for engine operation. Because of
this, approximately 70 percent of fuel entering the
pump is returned to the fuel tank through the overflow valve and fuel return line. Refer to Overflow
Valve Description/Operation for additional information.
The VP44 is not self-priming. At least two fuel
injectors must be bled to remove air from the system.
When servicing the fuel system, disconnecting components up to the pump will usually not require air
bleeding from the fuel system. However, removal of
the high-pressure lines, removal of the VP44 pump,
or allowing the vehicle to completely run out of fuel,
will require bleeding air from the high-pressure lines
at the fuel injectors.
VP44 timing is matched to engine timing by an offset keyway that fits into the pump shaft. This keyway has a stamped number on it that is matched to
a number on the VP44 pump (each keyway is calibrated to each pump).
When removing/installing the VP44, the same
numbered keyway must always be installed.
Also, the arrow on the top of the keyway should
be installed pointed rearward towards the
pump.
Because of electrical control, the injection pump
high and low idle speeds are not adjustable. Also,
adjustment of fuel pump timing is not required and
is not necessary.

With the Bosch VP44 injection pump, there are no
mechanical adjustments needed for fuel injection timing. All timing and fuel adjustments are made by the
Engine Control Module (ECM). However, if a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) has been stored indicating
an “engine sync error” or a “static timing error”, perform the following.

FUEL INJECTION PUMP DATA PLATE
Pertinent information about the fuel injection
pump is machined into a boss on the drivers side of

14 - 77

OPERATION
The fuel tank module on diesel powered models
has 3 different circuits (wires). Two of these circuits
are used at the fuel gauge sending unit for fuel
gauge operation. The other wire is used for a ground.
The diesel engine does not have a fuel tank module
mounted electric fuel pump. The electric fuel pump
(fuel transfer pump) is mounted to the engine.
For Fuel Gauge Operation: A constant input
voltage source of about 12 volts (battery voltage) is
supplied to the resistor track on the fuel gauge sending unit. This is fed directly from the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM). NOTE: For diagnostic purposes, this 12V power source can only be verified with the circuit opened (fuel tank module
electrical connector unplugged). With the connectors plugged, output voltages will vary from
about .6 volts at FULL, to about 7.0 volts at
EMPTY. The resistor track is used to vary the voltage (resistance) depending on fuel tank float level. As
fuel level increases, the float and arm move up,
which decreases voltage. As fuel level decreases, the
float and arm move down, which increases voltage.
The varied voltage signal is returned back to the
PCM through the sensor return circuit.
Both of the electrical circuits between the fuel
gauge sending unit and the PCM are hard-wired (not
multi-plexed). After the voltage signal is sent from
the resistor track, and back to the PCM, the PCM
will interpret the resistance (voltage) data and send
a message across the multi-plex bus circuits to the
instrument panel cluster. Here it is translated into
the appropriate fuel gauge level reading. Refer to
Instrument Panel for additional information.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - HIGH-PRESSURE
FUEL LINE LEAKS
High-pressure fuel line leaks can cause starting
problems and poor engine performance.
WARNING: DUE TO EXTREME FUEL PRESSURES
OF UP TO 120,000 kPa (17,400 PSI), USE EXTREME
CAUTION WHEN INSPECTING FOR HIGH-PRESSURE FUEL LEAKS. DO NOT GET YOUR HAND
NEAR A SUSPECTED LEAK. INSPECT FOR HIGHPRESSURE FUEL LEAKS WITH A SHEET OF CARDBOARD. HIGH FUEL INJECTION PRESSURE CAN
CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY IF CONTACT IS MADE
WITH THE SKIN.
Start the engine. Move the cardboard over the
high-pressure fuel lines and check for fuel spray onto
the cardboard (Fig. 46). If a high-pressure line connection is leaking, bleed the system and tighten the
connection. Refer to the Air Bleed Procedure in this
group for procedures. Replace damaged, restricted or
leaking high-pressure fuel lines with the correct
replacement line.

Fig. 45 High-Pressure Fuel Lines

OPERATION—HIGH PRESSURE FUEL LINES
CAUTION: The high-pressure fuel lines must be
held securely in place in their holders. The lines
cannot contact each other or other components. Do
not attempt to weld high-pressure fuel lines or to
repair lines that are damaged. If lines are ever
kinked or bent, they must be replaced. Use only the
recommended lines when replacement of high-pressure fuel line is necessary.
High-pressure fuel lines deliver fuel under pressure of up to approximately 120,000 kPa (17,405 PSI)
from the injection pump to the fuel injectors. The
lines expand and contract from the high-pressure
fuel pulses generated during the injection process. All
high-pressure fuel lines are of the same length and
inside diameter. Correct high-pressure fuel line usage
and installation is critical to smooth engine operation.

FUEL TRANSFER PUMP
DESCRIPTION

The purpose of the fuel transfer pump is to supply
(transfer) a low-pressure fuel source: from the fuel
tank, through the fuel filter/water separator and to
the fuel injection pump. Here, the low-pressure is
raised to a high-pressure by the fuel injection pump
for operation of the high-pressure fuel injectors.
Check valves within the pump, control direction of
fuel flow and prevent fuel bleed-back during engine
shut down.
Normal current flow to the pump is 12 amperes.
With the engine running, the pump has 2 modes of
operation: Mode 1: 100 percent duty-cycle with a
minimum pressure of 10 psi except when the
engine is cranking. Mode 2: 15 percent duty-cycle
with maximum pressure of 7 psi with the engine
cranking
The 15 percent duty-cycle is used to limit injection
pump inlet pressure until the engine is running.

The transfer pump is self-priming: When the key is
first turned on (without cranking engine), the pump
will operate for approximately 1/4 second and then
shut off. The pump will also operate for up to 25 seconds after the starter is engaged, and then disengaged and the engine is not running. The pump
shuts off immediately if the key is on and the engine
stops running.
The fuel volume of the transfer pump will always
provide more fuel than the fuel injection pump
requires. Excess fuel is returned from the injection
pump through an overflow valve. The valve is located
on the side of the injection pump (Fig. 60). It is also
used to connect the fuel return line to the side of the
injection pump. This valve opens at approximately 97
kPa (14 psi) and returns fuel to the fuel tank
through the fuel return line.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - FUEL TRANSFER
PUMP PRESSURE
The following tests will include: pressures
tests of fuel transfer pump (engine running and
engine cranking), a test for supply side restrictions, and a test for air in fuel supply side.

An improperly operating fuel transfer pump, a
plugged or dirty fuel filter, or a defective overflow
valve can cause low engine power, excessive white
smoke and/or hard engine starting.
Before performing following tests, inspect fuel supply and return lines for restrictions, kinks or leaks.
Fuel leaking from pump casing indicates a leaking
pump which must be replaced.
Pressure Test: Because the transfer pump is operating at two different pressure cycles (engine running
and engine cranking), two different pressure tests
will be performed.
(1) Remove protective cap at test port (Fig. 62).
Clean area around cap/fitting before cap removal.
(2) Install Special Fuel Pressure Test Gauge 6828
(or equivalent) to fitting at test port (Fig. 62).
(3) To prevent engine from starting, remove fuel
system relay (fuel injection pump relay). Relay is
located in Power Distribution Center (PDC). Refer to
label under PDC cover for relay location.

(7) Because fuel pump relay was removed, a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) may have been set. After
testing is completed, and relay has been installed,
use DRB scan tool to remove DTC.
Fuel Supply Restriction Test:
Due to very small vacuum specifications, the DRB
scan tool along with the Periphal Expansion Port
(PEP) Module and 0–15 psi transducer must be used.
(8) Verify transfer pump pressure is OK before
performing restriction test.
(9) Locate and disconnect fuel supply line quickconnect fitting at left-rear of engine (Fig. 63). After
disconnecting line, plastic clip will remain attached
to metal fuel line at engine. Carefully remove clip
from metal line. Snap same clip into fuel supply
hose.
(10) Install Special Rubber Adapter Hose Tool
6631 (3/8”) into ends of disconnected fuel supply line.
(11) Install transducer from PEP module to brass
“T” fitting on tool 6631.
(12) Hook up DRB scan tool to transducer.

Trouble Code (DTC) may have been set. After testing
is completed, and relay has been installed, use DRB
scan tool to remove DTC.
(20) Allow air to purge from empty hose before
examining for air bubbles. Air bubbles should not be
present.
(21) If bubbles are present, check for leaks in supply line to fuel tank.
(22) If supply line is not leaking, remove fuel tank
module and remove filter at bottom of module (filter
snaps to module). Check for leaks between supply
nipple at top of module, and filter opening at bottom
of module. Replace module if necessary.
(23) After performing test, install core back into
test fitting. Before installing protective cap, be sure
fitting is not leaking.

REMOVAL
The fuel transfer pump (fuel lift pump) is located
on left side of engine, below and rearward of fuel filter (Fig. 64).

WARNING: DO NOT STAND IN LINE WITH THE
COOLING FAN FOR THE FOLLOWING STEPS.
(13) Start engine and record vacuum reading with
engine speed at high-idle (high-idle means engine
speed is at 100 percent throttle and no load). The
fuel restriction test MUST be done with engine speed
at high-idle.
(14) If vacuum reading is less than 6 in/hg. (0–152
mm hg.), test is OK. If vacuum reading is higher
than 6 in/hg. (152 mm hg.), restriction exists in fuel
supply line or in fuel tank module. Check fuel supply
line for damage, dents or kinking. If OK, remove
module and check module and lines for blockage.
Also check fuel pump inlet filter at bottom of module
for obstructions.
Testing For Air Leaks in Fuel Supply Side:
(15) A 3–foot section of 3/8” I.D. clear tubing is
required for this test.
(16) Using a tire core valve removal tool, carefully
remove core valve from inlet fitting test port.
(17) Attach and clamp the 3/8”clear hose to fitting
nipple.
(18) Place other end of hose into a large clear container. Allow hose to loop as high as possible above
test port.
(19) The fuel transfer pump can be put into a 25
second run (test) mode if key is quickly turned to
crank position and released back to run position
without starting engine.
To prevent engine from starting in this test, first
remove fuel system relay (fuel injection pump relay).
Relay is located in Power Distribution Center (PDC).

WATER IN FUEL SENSOR

FUEL DRAIN MANIFOLD

DESCRIPTION

DESCRIPTION

The WIF sensor is located on the side of the fuel
filter/water separator canister (Fig. 68).

The fuel drain manifold is actually a rifled passage
within the cylinder head (Fig. 69).

Fig. 69 Fuel Drain Manifold Passage

Fig. 68 Water-in-Fuel Sensor Location
1 - WATER-IN-FUEL (WIF) SENSOR
2 - FUEL FILTER/WATER SEPARATOR
3 - WIF SENSOR CONNECTOR

OPERATION
The sensor sends an input to the Engine Control
Module (ECM) when it senses water in the fuel filter/
water separator. As the water level in the filter/separator increases, the resistance across the WIF
sensor decreases. This decrease in resistance is sent
as a signal to the ECM and compared to a high
water standard value. Once the value reaches 30 to
40 kilohms, the ECM will activate the water-in-fuel
warning lamp through CCD bus circuits. This all
takes place when the ignition key is initially put in
the ON position. The ECM continues to monitor the
input at the end of the intake manifold air heater
post-heat cycle.

REMOVAL
The Water-In-Fuel (WIF) sensor is located at the
side of fuel filter/water separator canister. Refer to
Fuel Filter/Water Separator Removal/Installation for

OPERATION
When the engine is running, and during injection,
a small amount of fuel flows past the injector nozzle
and is not injected into the combustion chamber. This
fuel is used to lubricate the fuel injectors. Excess fuel
drains into the fuel drain manifold (or passage). Fuel
is drained from this passage into a line at the rear of
the cylinder head (Fig. 69). After exiting the cylinder
head, fuel is routed (returned) back to the fuel tank.
A “T” is installed into the fuel return line (Fig. 69).
This “T” is used to allow excess fuel from the injection pump to be returned into the fuel tank. A oneway check valve within the overflow valve prevents
fuel (from the fuel drain manifold) from entering the
fuel injection pump.
A small amount of fuel is returned from the fuel
injectors, while a large amount (about 70% of supplied fuel) is returned from the fuel injection pump.

FUEL INJECTION - DIESEL

The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is used to
regulate or control the A/C, charging and speed control systems. It is also used to partially control certain electronic automatic transmission components.
The PCM also has control over certain instrument
panel components.
Refer to either Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
or Engine Control Module (ECM) for additional information. Refer to (Fig. 1) for a partial list of fuel system components.

DESCRIPTION - DIESEL FUEL INJECTION
SYSTEM
The Engine Control Module (ECM) and Fuel Injection Pump Control Module (FPCM) are used primarily for fuel system control. The ECM is a separate
replaceable component, while the FPCM is internal
to the fuel injection pump and is a non-serviceable
part. The ECM and FPCM are interconnected (wired
together) for fuel injection control.

(1) Obtain two 6828 fuel pressure test gauges
(equivalent gauges are OK). Gauge Consistency
Test: Connect the gauges together to a common pressure source and verify pressure consistency of both
gauges. Do this consistency test at approximately 206
kPa (30 psi). If pressures are different, they can still
be used for test. Note and record differences in pressures before testing. Make adjustments as necessary.
(2) Remove 3/4” pipe plug fitting at rear of intake
manifold (Fig. 2). Temporarily replace this fitting
with fitting reducer to adapt to pressure gauge.
Note: This pipe plug is located to front of MAP
sensor. Do not remove plug to rear of MAP sensor. This is a COOLANT passage plug.
(3) Loosen hose clamp and disconnect rubber signal line (Fig. 3) from 1/8” brass fitting at front of turbocharger.
(4) Remove 1/8” brass fitting (Fig. 3) from turbocharger. Temporarily replace this fitting with a 1/8”
“T” fitting to adapt to pressure gauge.
(5) Reattach signal line to temporary “T”.
(6) Attach first pressure gauge to intake manifold
fitting.
(7) Attach second pressure gauge to “T” fitting at
turbocharger.
Engine must be at rated RPM and full load for the
test.
If gauge pressure differential is greater than 3 psi
(6 in. Hg), check intercooler and associated piping for
restrictions, plugging or damage.
Maximum pressure at intake manifold (rated rpm
and load) is 36–37 in/hg ± 3 in/hg (17.7–18.2 psi ±
1.5 psi).
Wastegate should open at no higher than 38.7
in/hg (19 psi) at wide open throttle, full load. If
wastegate is out of adjustment, a DTC may have
been set. Refer to Wastegate Adjustment in Engines
for adjustment procedures.

OPERATION
The Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor (APPS) is a
linear potentiometer. It provides the Engine Control
Module (ECM) with a DC voltage signal proportional
to the angle, or position of the accelerator pedal. In
previous model years, this part was known as the
Throttle Position Sensor (TPS).
Diesel engines used in previous model years used a
mechanical cable between the accelerator pedal and
the TPS lever. Linkage and bellcranks between the
TPS cable lever and the fuel injection pump were
also used. Although the cable has been retained with
the APPS, the linkage and bellcranks between the
cable lever and the fuel injection pump are no longer
used.
The APPS is serviced (replaced) as one assembly
including the lever, brackets and sensor. The APPS is
calibrated and permanently positioned to its mounting bracket.

FUEL INJECTOR
DESCRIPTION

used. The injectors are vertically mounted (Fig. 10)
into a bored hole in the top of the cylinder head. This
bored hole is located between the intake/exhaust
valves.

FUEL INJECTOR (Continued)

OPERATION
High-pressure fuel is supplied from the injection
pump, through a high-pressure fuel line, through a
steel connector and into the fuel injector. When fuel
pressure rises to approximately 31,026 kPa (4,500
psi), the needle valve spring tension is overcome. The
needle valve rises and fuel flows through the spray
holes in the nozzle tip into the combustion chamber.
The pressure required to lift the needle valve is the
nozzle opening pressure. This is sometimes referred
to as the “pop” pressure setting.
Each fuel injector is connected to each high-pressure fuel line with a steel connector (Fig. 11). This
steel connector is positioned into the cylinder head
and sealed with an o-ring. The connectors are sealed
to the high-pressure fuel lines with fittings (Fig. 11).
The ferrule (Fig. 11) on the end of the high-pressure
fuel line pushes against the steel connector when the
fuel line fitting is torqued into the cylinder head.
This torquing force provides a sealing pressure
between both the fuel line-to-connector and the fuel
connector-to-fuel injector. The fitting torque is
very critical. If the fitting is under torqued, the
mating surfaces will not seal and a high-pressure
fuel leak will result. If the fitting is over torqued, the
connector and injector will deform and also cause a
high-pressure fuel leak. This leak will be inside the
cylinder head and will not be visible. The result will
be a possible fuel injector miss-fire and low power.

The fuel injectors use hole type nozzles (Fig. 12).
High-pressure flows into the side of the injector and
causes the injector needle to lift and fuel to be
injected. The clearances in the nozzle bore (Fig. 12)
are extremely small and any sort of dirt or contaminants will cause the injector to stick. Because of this,
it is very important to do a thorough cleaning of any

FUEL INJECTION - DIESEL

BR/BE

FUEL INJECTOR (Continued)
lines before opening up any fuel system component.
Always cover or cap any open fuel connections before
a fuel system repair is performed.
Each fuel injector connector tube contains an edge
filter (Fig. 13) that breaks up small contaminants
that enter the injector. The edge filter uses the injectors pulsating high-pressure to break up most particles so they are small enough to pass through the
injector. The edge filters are not a substitute for
proper cleaning and covering of all fuel system
components during repair.
The bottom of each fuel injector is sealed to the
cylinder head with a 1.5mm thick copper shim (gasket) (Fig. 12). The correct thickness shim must
always be re-installed after removing an injector.
Fuel pressure in the injector circuit decreases after
injection. The injector needle valve is immediately
closed by the needle valve spring and fuel flow into
the combustion chamber is stopped. Exhaust gases
are prevented from entering the injector nozzle by
the needle valve.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING—FUEL INJECTOR
TEST
The fuel injectors are located in the top of the cylinder head between the intake/exhaust valves (Fig.
14).

A leaking fuel injector can cause fuel knock, poor
performance, black smoke, poor fuel economy and
rough engine idle. If fuel injector needle valve does
not operate properly, engine may misfire and produce
low power.
A leak in injection pump-to-injector high-pressure
fuel line can cause many of same symptoms as malfunctioning injector. Inspect for leaks in high-pressure lines before checking for malfunctioning fuel
injector.
WARNING: THE INJECTION PUMP SUPPLIES HIGHPRESSURE FUEL OF UP TO APPROXIMATELY
120,000 kPa (17,400 psi) TO EACH INDIVIDUAL
INJECTOR THROUGH HIGH-PRESSURE LINES.
FUEL UNDER THIS AMOUNT OF PRESSURE CAN
PENETRATE SKIN AND CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY.
WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES AND ADEQUATE PROTECTIVE CLOTHING. AVOID CONTACT WITH FUEL
SPRAY WHEN BLEEDING HIGH-PRESSURE FUEL
LINES.
WARNING: DO NOT BLEED AIR FROM FUEL SYSTEM OF A HOT ENGINE. DO NOT ALLOW FUEL TO
SPRAY ONTO EXHAUST MANIFOLD WHEN BLEEDING AIR FROM FUEL SYSTEM.

(2) Note RPM drop for each cylinder. As an alternative, loosen high-pressure fuel line fitting at fuel
injector connector tube (Fig. 15). Listen for a change
in engine speed. After testing, tighten line fitting to
40 N·m (30 ft. lbs.) torque. If engine speed drops,
injector was operating normally. If engine speed
remains same, injector may be malfunctioning. Test
all injectors in same manner one at a time.

(4) After injector has been removed, obtain benchmount fuel injector tester OTCt (SPXt) part number
4210 (Fig. 16) (or equivalent). Install Special Tool number 8301 (Fuel Injector Adapter) to 4210 tester. Install
fuel injector into 8301 adapter. Be sure tip of adapter
tool 8301 is aligned to inlet hole at side of injector (Fig.
17) before tightening tool. Tighten tool 8301 to injector.
Position container below injector before testing.
(5) Refer to operating instructions supplied with
pressure tester for procedures.
(a) Check opening pressure or “pop” pressure.
Pressure should be approximately 31,026 kPa (310
bars) or (4500 psi ± 250 psi). If fuel injector needle
valve is opening (popping) too early or too late,
replace injector.
(b) Perform a leak-down test on injector. Apply
pressure with injector tester. The injector should
not leak (drip) fuel with pressure at approximately
20 bars (291 psi) lower than pop pressure.
(c) Operate tester lever quickly several times to
check injector spray pattern. Verify fuel is spraying
from each injector nozzle hole. Injector should also
spray evenly from each nozzle hole.
(d) Pay attention to size and shape of spray
plumes. They should all be equal. If possible, compare spray pattern to that of a new fuel injector
with same part number. Checking each plume for
consistency is an excellent indicator of injector performance. Even if only one nozzle hole is plugged,
significant performance problems could result.
(e) Look for burrs on injector inlet.
(f) Check nozzle holes for hole erosion or plugging.
(g) Inspect end of nozzle for burrs or rough
machine marks.
(h) Look for cracks at nozzle end.
(i) Check nozzle color for signs of overheating.
Overheating will cause nozzle to turn a dark yellow/tan or blue (depending on overheating temperature).
(j) Look at end of injector tube where it meets
injector. A small, shiny band should be seen at this
point. The band should have a consistent thickness.
If not, injector could be leaking into fuel return.
(k) If any of these conditions occur, replace injector.

washer. This will keep washer in place during installation.
(5) Install new o-ring to fuel injector. Apply small
amount of clean engine oil to o-ring.
(6) Note fuel inlet hole on side of fuel injector. This
hole must be positioned towards injector connector
tube. Position injector into cylinder head bore being
extremely careful not to allow injector tip to touch
sides of bore. Press fuel injector into cylinder head
with finger pressure only. Do not use any tools to
press fuel injector into position. Damage to
machined surfaces may result.
(7) Position fuel injector hold down clamp into
shouldered bolt while aligning slot in top of injector
into groove in bottom of clamp. Tighten opposite
clamp bolt (Fig. 18) to 10 N·m (89 in. lbs.) torque.
(8) Install new o-ring to fuel injector connector
tube. Apply small amount of clean engine oil to

with finger pressure only. Do not use any tools to
press tube into position. Damage to machined
surfaces may result.
(10) Connect high-pressure fuel lines. Refer to
High-Pressure Fuel Lines Removal/Installation. The
fuel line fitting torque is very critical. If fitting
is under torqued, the mating surfaces will not seal
and a high-pressure fuel leak will result. If fitting is
over torqued, the connector and injector will deform

INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE
SENSOR
DESCRIPTION - DIESEL
The intake manifold air temperature sensor is
installed into the rear of the intake manifold (Fig.
31) with the sensor element extending into the air
stream.

OPERATION - DIESEL
The IAT provides an input voltage to the Engine
Control Module (ECM) indicating intake manifold air
temperature. The input is used along with inputs
from other sensors for intake air heater element
operation, for engine protection, fuel timing and fuel
control. As the temperature of the air-fuel stream in
the manifold varies, the sensor resistance changes.
This results in a different input voltage to the ECM.

MAP SENSOR
DESCRIPTION - DIESEL
The MAP sensor is installed into the rear of the
intake manifold (Fig. 31).

OPERATION - DIESEL
The MAP sensor reacts to air pressure changes in
the intake manifold. It provides an input voltage to
the Engine Control Module (ECM). As pressure
changes, MAP sensor voltage will change. The
change in MAP sensor voltage results in a different
input voltage to the ECM. The ECM uses this input,
along with inputs from other sensors to provide fuel
timing, fuel control and engine protection. Engine
protection is used to derate (drop power off) the
engine if turbocharger pressure becomes to high.

STEERING
DESCRIPTION
The power steering system consist of a steering column, steering gear and hydraulic pump. The gear is
mounted to the frame rail and attaches to the steering linkage. The pump is a constant flow rate and
displacement vane-type pump. The pump supplies
hydraulic fluid pressure to the power steering gear
(Fig. 1).
Vehicles equipped with trailer tow option have a
power steering pump oil cooler.

OPERATION
The gear acts as a rolling thread between the
worm shaft and rack piston. The worm shaft is supported by a thrust bearing at the lower end and a
bearing assembly at the upper end. When the worm
shaft is turned from input from the steering column
the rack piston moves. The rack piston teeth mesh
with the pitman shaft. Turning the worm shaft, turns
the pitman shaft, which turns the steering linkage.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - POWER STEERING
FLOW AND PRESSURE
The following procedure is used to test the operation of the power steering system on the vehicle. This
test will provide the flow rate of the power steering
pump along with the maximum relief pressure. Perform test any time a power steering system problem
is present. This test will determine if the power
steering pump or power steering gear is not functioning properly. The following pressure and flow test is
performed using Power Steering Analyzer Tool kit
6815 (Fig. 2) and Adapter Kit 6893.

POWER STEERING ANALYZER INSTALLATION
WITHOUT HYDRAULIC BOOSTER
(1) Remove the high pressure hose from the power
steering pump.
(2) Connect Tube 6844 into the pump hose fitting.
(3) Connect pressure gauge hose from the Power
Steering Analyzer to Tube 6844.
(4) Connect Adapter 6826 to Power Steering Analyzer test valve end.
(5) Connect the power steering hose from the
steering gear to Adapter 6826.
WITH HYDRAULIC BOOSTER
(1) Remove high pressure hose which goes to the
steering gear from the tube coming out of the booster.
(2) Connect Adapter 6826 to the Power Steering
Analyzer pressure gauge hose.
(3) Connect pressure gauge hose to the tube coming out of the booster.

necessary. The initial pressure reading should be in
the range of 345-552 kPa (50-80 psi).
(6) Increase the engine speed to 1500 RPM and
read the flow meter. If the flow rate (GPM) is below
specification (Refer to pump specification chart for
GPM) the pump should be replaced.
CAUTION: The following test procedure involves
testing maximum pump pressure output and flow
control valve operation. Do not leave valve closed
for more than three seconds as the pump could be
damaged.
(7) Close valve fully three times and record highest pressure indicated each time. All three readings must be above specifications and within
345 kPa (50 psi) of each other.
• Pressures above specifications but not within
345 kPa (50 psi) of each other, replace pump.
• Pressures within 345 kPa (50 psi) of each other
but below specifications, replace pump.
(8) Open the test valve and turn the steering
wheel to the extreme left and right positions three
times against the stops. Record the highest pressure
reading at each position. Compare the readings to
the pump specifications chart. If pressures readings
are not within 50 psi of each other, the gear is leaking internally and must be repaired.

CAUTION: Do not force the pump to operate against
the stops for more than 2 to 3 seconds at a time
because, pump damage will result.

one of the holes in adjuster plug (Fig. 6).
(6) Measure back (counterclockwise) 18 mm (0.70
in) and mark the housing (Fig. 7).
(7) Rotate adjustment cap back (counterclockwise)
with spanner wrench until hole is aligned with the
second mark (Fig. 8).
(8) Install and tighten lock nut to 108 N·m (80 ft.
lbs.). Be sure adjustment cap does not turn while
tightening the lock nut.

PITMAN SHAFT OVER-CENTER PRELOAD
NOTE: Before performing this procedure, the worm
bearing preload adjustment must be performed.
(1) Rotate the stub shaft with a 12 point socket
from stop to stop and count the number of turns.
(2) Starting at either stop, turn the stub shaft
back 1/2 the total number of turns. This is the center
of the gear travel (Fig. 9).

(3) Place the torque wrench in the vertical position
on the stub shaft. Rotate the wrench 45 degrees each
side of the center and record the highest rotational
torque in this range (Fig. 10). This is the Over-Center Rotating Torque.
NOTE: The stub shaft must rotate smoothly without
sticking or binding.

(4) Rotate the stud shaft between 180° and 270° to
the left of center and record the left off-center preload. Repeat this to the right of center and record the
right off-center preload. The average of these two
recorded readings is the Preload Rotating Torque.
(5) The Over-Center Rotating Torque should be
0.23-0.68 N·m (2-6 in. lbs.) higher than the Preload
Rotating Torque.
(6) If an adjustment to the Over-Center Rotating
Torque is necessary, first loosen the adjuster lock
nut. Then turn the pitman shaft adjuster screw back
(COUNTERCLOCKWISE) until fully extended, then
turn back in (CLOCKWISE) one full turn.

PUMP
DESCRIPTION
The P-Series pump is used on these vehicles (Fig.
1). The pump shaft has a pressed-on pulley that is
belt driven by the crankshaft pulley on gasoline
engines. The pump is driven off the back of the vacuum pump on the diesel engine.
Trailer tow option vehicles are equipped with a
power steering pump oil cooler. The oil cooler is
mounted to the front crossmember.
NOTE: Power steering pumps are not interchangeable with pumps installed on other vehicles.

OPERATION
Hydraulic pressure is provided by the pump for the
power steering gear. The power steering pump is a
constant flow rate and displacement, vane-type
pump. The pump is connected to the steering gear
via the pressure hose and the return hose. On vehicles equipped with a hydraulic booster, the pump
supplies the hydraulic pressure for the booster.

Wipe filler cap clean, then check the fluid level.
The dipstick should indicate COLD when the fluid is
at normal temperature.
(1) Turn steering wheel all the way to the left
(2) Fill the pump fluid reservoir to the proper level
and let the fluid settle for at least two (2) minutes.
(3) Raise the front wheels off the ground.
(4) Slowly turn the steering wheel lock-to-lock 20
times with the engine off while checking the fluid
level.
NOTE: Vehicles with long return lines or oil coolers
turn wheel 40 times.
(5) Start the engine. With the engine idling maintain the fluid level.
(6) Lower the front wheels and let the engine idle
for two minutes.
(7) Turn the steering wheel in both direction and
verify power assist and quit operation of the pump.

If the fluid is extremely foamy or milky looking,
allow the vehicle to stand a few minutes and repeat
the procedure.
CAUTION: Do not run a vehicle with foamy fluid for
an extended period. This may cause pump damage.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - FLUSHING POWER
STEERING SYSTEM
Flushing is required when the power steering/hydraulic booster system fluid has become contaminated. Contaminated fluid in the steering/booster
system can cause seal deterioration and affect steering gear/booster spool valve operation.
(1) Raise the front end of the vehicle off the
ground until the wheels are free to turn.
(2) Remove the return line from the pump.
NOTE: If vehicle is equipped with a hydraulic
booster remove both return lines from the pump.

(4) Position the return line/lines into a large container to catch the fluid.
(5) While an assistant is filling the pump reservoir
start the engine.
(6) With the engine running at idle turn the wheel
back and forth.
NOTE: Do not contact or hold the wheel against the
steering stops.
(7) Run a quart of fluid through the system then
stop the engine and install the return line/lines.

the mainshaft. The mainshaft gears are all supported
on caged type roller bearings. Drive gear thrust reaction is controlled by a needle type thrust bearing.
The bearing is located at the forward end of the
mainshaft.
The transmission is a top loader style. The shift
lever is located in a shifter tower which is bolted to
the shift cover and operates the shift forks and rails
directly. The shift forks and rails are all located
within the aluminum cover which is bolted to the top
of the gear case.

DESCRIPTION
The NV4500 is a five speed constant mesh manual
transmission (Fig. 1). All gear ranges including
reverse are synchronized. Fifth gear is an overdrive
range. The transmission has a cast iron gear case
and aluminum shift cover.
Two versions are used, a standard duty for 5.9L
applications and a heavy duty for V10 and Cummins
diesel applications. Main differences are the larger
diameter input shaft, output shaft and mainshaft
fifth gear in the heavy duty model.
Tapered roller bearings support the drive gear,
mainshaft and countershaft in the gear case. Roller
bearings in the drive gear support the forward end of

IDENTIFICATION
The transmission identification tag is attached to
the driver side PTO cover (Fig. 3).
The tag provides the transmission model number,
build date and part number. Be sure to reinstall the
I.D. tag if removed during service. The information
on the tag is essential to correct parts ordering.

The driver selects a particular gear by moving the
shift lever to the desired gear position. This movement moves the internal transmission shift components to begin the shift sequence. As the shift lever
moves the selected shift rail, the shift fork attached
to that rail begins to move. The fork is positioned in
a groove in the outer circumference of the synchronizer sleeve. As the shift fork moves the synchronizer
sleeve, the synchronizer begins to speed-up or slow
down the selected gear (depending on whether we are
up-shifting or down-shifting). The synchronizer does
this by having the synchronizer hub splined to the
mainshaft, or the countershaft in some cases, and
moving the blocker ring into contact with the gear’s
friction cone. As the blocker ring and friction cone
come together, the gear speed is brought up or down
to the speed of the synchronizer. As the two speeds
match, the splines on the inside of the synchronizer
sleeve become aligned with the teeth on the blocker
ring and the friction cone and eventually will slide
over the teeth, locking the gear to the mainshaft, or
countershaft, through the synchronizer.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
LOW LUBRICANT LEVEL

Fig. 3 Identification Tag Location
1 - PTO COVER
2 - I.D. TAG

OPERATION
The manual transmission receives power through
the clutch assembly from the engine. The clutch disc
is splined to the transmission input shaft and is
turned at engine speed at all times that the clutch is
engaged. The input shaft is connected to the transmission countershaft through the mesh of fourth
speed gear on the input shaft and the fourth countershaft gear. At this point all the transmission gears
are spinning.

A low transmission lubricant level is generally the
result of a leak, inadequate lubricant fill or an incorrect lubricant level check. A correct lubricant level
check can only be made when the vehicle is level.
Also allow the lubricant to settle for a minute or so
before checking. These recommendations will ensure
an accurate check and avoid an underfill or overfill
condition. Always check the lubricant level after any
addition of fluid to avoid an incorrect lubricant level
condition.
Leaks can occur at the mating surfaces of the gear
case, adaptor or extension housing, or from the front/
rear seals. A suspected leak could also be the result
of an overfill condition. Leaks at the rear of the
extension or adapter housing will be from the housing oil seals. Leaks at component mating surfaces
will probably be the result of inadequate sealer, gaps
in the sealer, incorrect bolt tightening or use of a
non-recommended sealer. A leak at the front of the
transmission will be from either the front bearing
retainer or retainer seal. Lubricant may be seen dripping from the clutch housing after extended operation. If the leak is severe, it may also contaminate
the clutch disc causing the disc to slip, grab and or
chatter.

MANUAL - NV4500

BR/BE

MANUAL - NV4500 (Continued)

HARD SHIFTING
Hard shifting is usually caused by a low lubricant
level, improper or contaminated lubricants. The consequence of using non-recommended lubricants is
noise, excessive wear, internal bind and hard shifting. Substantial lubricant leaks can result in gear,
shift rail, synchro, and bearing damage. If a leak
goes undetected for an extended period, the first indications of component damage are usually hard shifting and noise.
Component damage, incorrect clutch adjustment or
damaged clutch pressure plate or disc are additional
probable causes of increased shift effort. Incorrect
adjustment or a worn/damaged pressure plate or disc
can cause incorrect release. If clutch problem is
advanced, gear clash during shifts can result. Worn
or damaged synchro rings can cause gear clash when
shifting into any forward gear. In some new or
rebuilt transmissions, new synchro rings may tend to
stick slightly causing hard or noisy shifts. In most
cases this condition will decline as the rings wear-in.

TWO WHEEL DRIVE

Most manual transmissions make some noise during normal operation. Rotating gears generate a mild
whine that is audible, but generally only at extreme
speeds. Severe highly audible transmission noise is
generally the initial indicator of a lubricant problem.
Insufficient, improper or contaminated lubricant
will promote rapid wear of gears, synchros, shift
rails, forks and bearings. The overheating caused by
a lubricant problem, can also lead to gear breakage.

GEAR RATIOS

DESCRIPTION
The NV5600 is a six speed constant mesh manual
transmission (Fig. 1). All gear ranges including
reverse are synchronized. First and second gears utilize dual cone synchronizers in order to aid shifting.
Sixth gear is an overdrive range. The transmission
uses cast iron for the gear case and extension/
adapter housing and aluminum for the clutch housing.
To drain the trans remove the bottom PTO cover
bolt. Fill the trans through the plug to the rear of the
PTO cover (Fig. 1). Dry fill is approximately 4.5 liters
(9.5 pints) or to the bottom edge of the fill plug hole.
The transmission is a end loader transmission. The
shift lever is located in a shifter tower which is
bolted to the gear case and operates the shift shaft.
The shift pattern is in a modified H pattern (Fig.
2). Overdrive fifth and sixth gears are in line and
outboard of the first through fourth gear positions.
Reverse gear is to the right of fifth and sixth and forward of the neutral gate.

IDENTIFICATION
The transmission has two identification tags
attached to the driver side upper clutch housing (Fig.
3). One tag provides the transmission part number.
The second tag provides sequencing and build date
information. The information on the tags are essential to correct parts ordering.

OPERATION
The driver selects a particular gear by moving the
shift lever to the desired gear position. As the shift
lever moves the selected shift rail, the shift fork
attached to that rail begins to move. The fork is positioned in a groove in the outer circumference of the
synchronizer sleeve. As the shift fork moves the synchronizer sleeve, the synchronizer begins to speed-up
or slow down the selected gear (depending on
whether we are up-shifting or down-shifting). The
synchronizer does this by having the synchronizer
hub splined to the mainshaft or the countershaft in
some cases, and moving the blocker ring into contact
with the gear’s friction cone. As the blocker ring and
friction cone come together, the gear speed is brought
up or down to the speed of the synchronizer. As the
two speeds match, the splines on the inside of the
synchronizer sleeve become aligned with the teeth on
the blocker ring and friction cone and eventually will

A low transmission lubricant level is generally the
result of a leak, inadequate lubricant fill or an incorrect lubricant level check. A correct lubricant level
check can only be made when the vehicle is level.
Also allow the lubricant to settle for a minute or so
before checking. These recommendations will ensure
an accurate check and avoid an underfill or overfill
condition. Always check the lubricant level after any
addition of fluid to avoid an incorrect lubricant level
condition.
Leaks can occur at the mating surfaces of the gear
case, adaptor or extension housing, or from the front/
rear seals. A suspected leak could also be the result
of an overfill condition. Leaks at the rear of the
extension or adapter housing will be from the housing oil seals. Leaks at component mating surfaces
will probably be the result of inadequate sealer, gaps
in the sealer, incorrect bolt tightening or use of a
non-recommended sealer. A leak at the front of the
transmission will be from either the front bearing
retainer or retainer seal. Lubricant may be seen dripping from the clutch housing after extended operation. If the leak is severe, it may also contaminate
the clutch disc causing the disc to slip, grab and or
chatter.

HARD SHIFTING
Hard shifting is usually caused by a low lubricant
level, improper or contaminated lubricants. The consequence of using non-recommended lubricants is
noise, excessive wear, internal bind and hard shifting. Substantial lubricant leaks can result in gear,
shift rail, synchro, and bearing damage. If a leak
goes undetected for an extended period, the first indications of component damage are usually hard shifting and noise.
Component damage, incorrect clutch adjustment or
damaged clutch pressure plate or disc are additional
probable causes of increased shift effort. Incorrect
adjustment or a worn/damaged pressure plate or disc
can cause incorrect release. If clutch problem is
advanced, gear clash during shifts can result. Worn
or damaged synchro rings can cause gear clash when
shifting into any forward gear. In some new or
rebuilt transmissions, new synchro rings may tend to
stick slightly causing hard or noisy shifts. In most
cases this condition will decline as the rings wear-in.

MANUAL - NV5600 (Continued)

TRANSMISSION NOISE
Most manual transmissions make some noise during normal operation. Rotating gears generate a mild
whine that is audible, but generally only at extreme
speeds. Severe highly audible transmission noise is
generally the initial indicator of a lubricant problem.
Insufficient, improper or contaminated lubricant
will promote rapid wear of gears, synchros, shift
rails, forks and bearings. The overheating caused by
a lubricant problem, can also lead to gear breakage.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION 46RE
DESCRIPTION
The 46RE (Fig. 1) is a four speed fully automatic
transmissions with an electronic governor. The 46RE
is equipped with a lock-up clutch in the torque converter. First through third gear ranges are provided
by the clutches, bands, overrunning clutch, and planetary gear sets in the transmission. Fourth gear
range is provided by the overdrive unit that contains
an overdrive clutch, direct clutch, planetary gear set,
and overrunning clutch.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - 46RE

21 - 89

The transmission contains a front, rear, and direct
clutch which function as the input driving components. It also contains the kickdown (front) and the
low/reverse (rear) bands which, along with the overrunning clutch and overdrive clutch, serve as the
holding components. The driving and holding components combine to select the necessary planetary gear
components, in the front, rear, or overdrive planetary
gear set, transfer the engine power from the input
shaft through to the output shaft.
The valve body is mounted to the lower side of the
transmission and contains the valves to control pressure regulation, fluid flow control, and clutch/band
application. The oil pump is mounted at the front of
the transmission and is driven by the torque converter hub. The pump supplies the oil pressure necessary for clutch/band actuation and transmission
lubrication.

IDENTIFICATION

OPERATION

Transmission identification numbers are stamped
on the left side of the case just above the oil pan gasket surface (Fig. 2). Refer to this information when
ordering replacement parts.

The application of each driving or holding component is controlled by the valve body based upon the
manual lever position, throttle pressure, and governor pressure. The governor pressure is a variable
pressure input to the valve body and is one of the
signals that a shift is necessary. First through fourth
gear are obtained by selectively applying and releasing the different clutches and bands. Engine power is
thereby routed to the various planetary gear assemblies which combine with the overrunning clutch
assemblies to generate the different gear ratios. The
torque converter clutch is hydraulically applied and
is released when fluid is vented from the hydraulic
circuit by the torque converter control (TCC) solenoid
on the valve body. The torque converter clutch is controlled by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The
torque converter clutch engages in fourth gear, and
in third gear under various conditions, such as when
the O/D switch is OFF, when the vehicle is cruising
on a level surface after the vehicle has warmed up.
The torque converter clutch will disengage momentarily when an increase in engine load is sensed by
the PCM, such as when the vehicle begins to go
uphill or the throttle pressure is increased. The
torque converter clutch feature increases fuel economy and reduces the transmission fluid temperature.
Since the overdrive clutch is applied in fourth gear
only and the direct clutch is applied in all ranges
except fourth gear, the transmission operation for
park, neutral, and first through third gear will be
described first. Once these powerflows are described,
the third to fourth shift sequence will be described.

PARK POWERFLOW
As the engine is running and the crankshaft is
rotating, the flexplate and torque converter, which
are also bolted to it, are all rotating in a clockwise
direction as viewed from the front of the engine. The
notched hub of the torque converter is connected to
the oil pump’s internal gear, supplying the transmission with oil pressure. As the converter turns, it
turns the input shaft in a clockwise direction. As the
input shaft is rotating, the front clutch hub-rear
clutch retainer and all their associated parts are also
rotating, all being directly connected to the input
shaft. The power flow from the engine through the
front clutch hub and rear clutch retainer stops at the
rear clutch retainer. Therefore, no power flow to the
output shaft occurs because no clutches are applied.
The only mechanism in use at this time is the parking sprag (Fig. 3), which locks the parking gear on
the output shaft to the transmission case.

NEUTRAL POWERFLOW
With the gear selector in the NEUTRAL position
(Fig. 4), the power flow of the transmission is essentially the same as in the park position. The only
operational difference is that the parking sprag has
been disengaged, unlocking the output shaft from the
transmission case and allowing it to move freely.

When the gear selector is moved into the
REVERSE position (Fig. 5), the front clutch and the
rear band are applied. With the application of the
front clutch, engine torque is applied to the sun gear,
turning it in a clockwise direction. The clockwise
rotation of the sun gear causes the rear planet pinions to rotate against engine rotation in a counterclockwise direction. The rear band is holding the low
reverse drum, which is splined to the rear carrier.
Since the rear carrier is being held, the torque from
the planet pinions is transferred to the rear annulus
gear, which is splined to the output shaft. The output
shaft in turn rotates with the annulus gear in a
counterclockwise direction giving a reverse gear output. The entire transmission of torque is applied to
the rear planetary gearset only. Although there is
torque input to the front gearset through the sun
gear, no other member of the gearset is being held.
During the entire reverse stage of operation, the
front planetary gears are in an idling condition.

FIRST GEAR POWERFLOW
When the gearshift lever is moved into the DRIVE
position the transmission goes into first gear (Fig. 6).
As soon as the transmission is shifted from PARK or
NEUTRAL to DRIVE, the rear clutch applies, applying the rear clutch pack to the front annulus gear.
Engine torque is now applied to the front annulus
gear turning it in a clockwise direction. With the
front annulus gear turning in a clockwise direction, it
causes the front planets to turn in a clockwise direction. The rotation of the front planets cause the sun
to revolve in a counterclockwise direction. The sun
gear now transfers its counterclockwise rotation to

the rear planets which rotate back in a clockwise
direction. With the rear annulus gear stationary, the
rear planet rotation on the annulus gear causes the
rear planet carrier to revolve in a counterclockwise
direction. The rear planet carrier is splined into the
low-reverse drum, and the low reverse drum is
splined to the inner race of the over-running clutch.
With the over-running clutch locked, the planet carrier is held, and the resulting torque provided by the
planet pinions is transferred to the rear annulus
gear. The rear annulus gear is splined to the output
shaft and rotated along with it (clockwise) in an
underdrive gear reduction mode.

SECOND GEAR POWERFLOW
In DRIVE-SECOND (Fig. 7), the same elements
are applied as in MANUAL-SECOND. Therefore, the
power flow will be the same, and both gears will be
discussed as one in the same. In DRIVE-SECOND,
the transmission has proceeded from first gear to its
shift point, and is shifting from first gear to second.
The second gear shift is obtained by keeping the rear
clutch applied and applying the front (kickdown)
band. The front band holds the front clutch retainer
that is locked to the sun gear driving shell. With the
rear clutch still applied, the input is still on the front
annulus gear turning it clockwise at engine speed.

Now that the front band is holding the sun gear stationary, the annulus rotation causes the front planets
to rotate in a clockwise direction. The front carrier is
then also made to rotate in a clockwise direction but
at a reduced speed. This will transmit the torque to
the output shaft, which is directly connected to the
front planet carrier. The rear planetary annulus gear
will also be turning because it is directly splined to
the output shaft. All power flow has occurred in the
front planetary gear set during the drive-second
stage of operation, and now the over-running clutch,
in the rear of the transmission, is disengaged and
freewheeling on its hub.

DIRECT DRIVE POWERFLOW
The vehicle has accelerated and reached the shift
point for the 2-3 upshift into direct drive (Fig. 8).
When the shift takes place, the front band is
released, and the front clutch is applied. The rear
clutch stays applied as it has been in all the forward
gears. With the front clutch now applied, engine
torque is now on the front clutch retainer, which is
locked to the sun gear driving shell. This means that
the sun gear is now turning in engine rotation (clockwise) and at engine speed. The rear clutch is still
applied so engine torque is also still on the front

annulus gear. If two members of the same planetary
set are driven, direct drive results. Therefore, when
two members are rotating at the same speed and in
the same direction, it is the same as being locked up.
The rear planetary set is also locked up, given the
sun gear is still the input, and the rear annulus gear
must turn with the output shaft. Both gears are
turning in the same direction and at the same speed.
The front and rear planet pinions do not turn at all
in direct drive. The only rotation is the input from
the engine to the connected parts, which are acting
as one common unit, to the output shaft.

FOURTH GEAR POWERFLOW
Fourth gear overdrive range is electronically controlled and hydraulically activated. Various sensor
inputs are supplied to the powertrain control module
to operate the overdrive solenoid on the valve body.
The solenoid contains a check ball that opens and
closes a vent port in the 3-4 shift valve feed passage.
The overdrive solenoid (and check ball) are not energized in first, second, third, or reverse gear. The vent
port remains open, diverting line pressure from the
2-3 shift valve away from the 3-4 shift valve. The
overdrive control switch must be in the ON position
to transmit overdrive status to the PCM. A 3-4
upshift occurs only when the overdrive solenoid is
energized by the PCM. The PCM energizes the overdrive solenoid during the 3-4 upshift. This causes the
solenoid check ball to close the vent port allowing
line pressure from the 2-3 shift valve to act directly
on the 3-4 upshift valve. Line pressure on the 3-4
shift valve overcomes valve spring pressure moving
the valve to the upshift position. This action exposes
the feed passages to the 3-4 timing valve, 3-4 quick
fill valve, 3-4 accumulator, and ultimately to the
overdrive piston. Line pressure through the timing

valve moves the overdrive piston into contact with
the overdrive clutch. The direct clutch is disengaged
before the overdrive clutch is engaged. The boost
valve provides increased fluid apply pressure to the
overdrive clutch during 3-4 upshifts, and when accelerating in fourth gear. The 3-4 accumulator cushions
overdrive clutch engagement to smooth 3-4 upshifts.
The accumulator is charged at the same time as
apply pressure acts against the overdrive piston.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION
Automatic transmission problems can be a result of
poor engine performance, incorrect fluid level, incorrect linkage or cable adjustment, band or hydraulic
control pressure adjustments, hydraulic system malfunctions or electrical/mechanical component malfunctions. Begin diagnosis by checking the easily
accessible items such as: fluid level and condition,
linkage adjustments and electrical connections. A road
test will determine if further diagnosis is necessary.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - PRELIMINARY

(b) If propeller shaft does not turn and transmission is noisy, stop engine. Remove oil pan, and
check for debris. If pan is clear, remove transmission and check for damaged drive plate, converter,
oil pump, or input shaft.
(c) If propeller shaft does not turn and transmission is not noisy, perform hydraulic-pressure test to
determine if problem is hydraulic or mechanical.

Two basic procedures are required. One procedure
for vehicles that are drivable and an alternate procedure for disabled vehicles (will not back up or move
forward).

VEHICLE IS DRIVEABLE
(1) Check for transmission fault codes using DRBt
scan tool.
(2) Check fluid level and condition.
(3) Adjust throttle and gearshift linkage if complaint was based on delayed, erratic, or harsh shifts.
(4) Road test and note how transmission upshifts,
downshifts, and engages.
(5) Perform hydraulic pressure test if shift problems were noted during road test.
(6) Perform air-pressure test to check clutch-band
operation.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - ROAD TESTING
Before road testing, be sure the fluid level and control cable adjustments have been checked and
adjusted if necessary. Verify that diagnostic trouble
codes have been resolved.
Observe engine performance during the road test.
A poorly tuned engine will not allow accurate analysis of transmission operation.
Operate the transmission in all gear ranges. Check
for shift variations and engine flare which indicates
slippage. Note if shifts are harsh, spongy, delayed,
early, or if part throttle downshifts are sensitive.
Slippage indicated by engine flare, usually means
clutch, band or overrunning clutch problems. If the
condition is advanced, an overhaul will be necessary
to restore normal operation.
A slipping clutch or band can often be determined
by comparing which internal units are applied in the
various gear ranges. The Clutch and Band Application chart provides a basis for analyzing road test
results.

VEHICLE IS DISABLED
(1) Check fluid level and condition.
(2) Check for broken or disconnected gearshift or
throttle linkage.
(3) Check for cracked, leaking cooler lines, or loose
or missing pressure-port plugs.
(4) Raise and support vehicle on safety stands,
start engine, shift transmission into gear, and note
following:
(a) If propeller shaft turns but wheels do not,
problem is with differential or axle shafts.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - 46RE (Continued)
Note that the rear clutch is applied in all forward
ranges (D, 2, 1). The transmission overrunning clutch
is applied in first gear (D, 2 and 1 ranges) only. The
rear band is applied in 1 and R range only.
Note that the overdrive clutch is applied only in
fourth gear and the overdrive direct clutch and overrunning clutch are applied in all ranges except fourth
gear.
For example: If slippage occurs in first gear in D
and 2 range but not in 1 range, the transmission
overrunning clutch is faulty. Similarly, if slippage
occurs in any two forward gears, the rear clutch is
slipping.
Applying the same method of analysis, note that
the front and rear clutches are applied simultaneously only in D range third and fourth gear. If the
transmission slips in third gear, either the front
clutch or the rear clutch is slipping.
If the transmission slips in fourth gear but not in
third gear, the overdrive clutch is slipping. By selecting another gear which does not use these clutches,
the slipping unit can be determined. For example, if
the transmission also slips in Reverse, the front
clutch is slipping. If the transmission does not slip in
Reverse, the rear clutch is slipping.
If slippage occurs during the 3-4 shift or only in
fourth gear, the overdrive clutch is slipping. Similarly, if the direct clutch were to fail, the transmission would lose both reverse gear and overrun
braking in 2 position (manual second gear).
If the transmission will not shift to fourth gear, the
control switch, overdrive solenoid or related wiring
may also be the problem cause.
This process of elimination can be used to identify
a slipping unit and check operation. Proper use of
the Clutch and Band Application Chart is the key.
Although road test analysis will help determine the
slipping unit, the actual cause of a malfunction usually cannot be determined until hydraulic and air
pressure tests are performed. Practically any condition can be caused by leaking hydraulic circuits or
sticking valves.
Unless a malfunction is obvious, such as no drive
in D range first gear, do not disassemble the transmission. Perform the hydraulic and air pressure tests
to help determine the probable cause.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - HYDRAULIC
PRESSURE TEST
Hydraulic test pressures range from a low of one
psi (6.895 kPa) governor pressure, to 300 psi (2068
kPa) at the rear servo pressure port in reverse.
An accurate tachometer and pressure test gauges
are required. Test Gauge C-3292 has a 100 psi range
and is used at the accumulator, governor, and front
servo ports. Test Gauge C-3293-SP has a 300 psi

range and is used at the rear servo and overdrive
ports where pressures exceed 100 psi.

Pressure Test Port Locations
Test ports are located at both sides of the transmission case (Fig. 9).
Line pressure is checked at the accumulator port
on the right side of the case. The front servo pressure
port is at the right side of the case just behind the
filler tube opening.
The rear servo and governor pressure ports are at
the right rear of the transmission case. The overdrive
clutch pressure port is at the left rear of the case.

port. Then connect 300 psi Gauge C-3293-SP to rear
servo port.
(3) Disconnect throttle and gearshift cables from
levers on transmission valve body manual shaft.
(4) Have helper start and run engine at 1000 rpm.
(5) Move transmission shift lever fully forward
into 1 range.
(6) Gradually move transmission throttle lever
from full forward to full rearward position and note
pressures on both gauges:
• Line pressure at accumulator port should be
54-60 psi (372-414 kPa) with throttle lever forward
and gradually increase to 90-96 psi (621-662 kPa) as
throttle lever is moved rearward.
• Rear servo pressure should be same as line pressure within 3 psi (20.68 kPa).
Test Two - Transmission In 2 Range
This test checks pump output, line pressure and
pressure regulation. Use 100 psi Test Gauge C-3292
for this test.
(1) Leave vehicle in place on hoist and leave Test
Gauge C-3292 connected to accumulator port.
(2) Have helper start and run engine at 1000 rpm.
(3) Move transmission shift lever one detent rearward from full forward position. This is 2 range.
(4) Move transmission throttle lever from full forward to full rearward position and read pressure on
gauge.
(5) Line pressure should be 54-60 psi (372-414
kPa) with throttle lever forward and gradually
increase to 90-96 psi (621-662 kPa) as lever is moved
rearward.
Test Three - Transmission In D Range Third Gear
This test checks pressure regulation and condition
of the clutch circuits. Both test gauges are required
for this test.
(1) Turn OD switch off.
(2) Leave vehicle on hoist and leave Gauge C-3292
in place at accumulator port.
(3) Move Gauge C-3293-SP over to front servo port
for this test.
(4) Have helper start and run engine at 1600 rpm
for this test.
(5) Move transmission shift lever two detents rearward from full forward position. This is D range.
(6) Read pressures on both gauges as transmission
throttle lever is gradually moved from full forward to
full rearward position:
• Line pressure at accumulator in D range third
gear, should be 54-60 psi (372-414 kPa) with throttle
lever forward and increase as lever is moved rearward.

• Front servo pressure in D range third gear,
should be within 3 psi (21 kPa) of line pressure up to
kickdown point.
Test Four - Transmission In Reverse
This test checks pump output, pressure regulation
and the front clutch and rear servo circuits. Use 300
psi Test Gauge C-3293-SP for this test.
(1) Leave vehicle on hoist and leave gauge C-3292
in place at accumulator port.
(2) Move 300 psi Gauge C-3293-SP back to rear
servo port.
(3) Have helper start and run engine at 1600 rpm
for test.
(4) Move transmission shift lever four detents
rearward from full forward position. This is Reverse
range.
(5) Move transmission throttle lever fully forward
then fully rearward and note reading at Gauge
C-3293-SP.
(6) Pressure should be 145 - 175 psi (1000-1207
kPa) with throttle lever forward and increase to 230 280 psi (1586-1931 kPa) as lever is gradually moved
rearward.
Test Five - Governor Pressure
This test checks governor operation by measuring
governor pressure response to changes in vehicle
speed. It is usually not necessary to check governor
operation unless shift speeds are incorrect or if the
transmission will not downshift. The test should be
performed on the road or on a hoist that will allow
the rear wheels to rotate freely.
(1) Move 100 psi Test Gauge C-3292 to governor
pressure port.
(2) Move transmission shift lever two detents rearward from full forward position. This is D range.
(3) Have helper start and run engine at curb idle
speed. Then firmly apply service brakes so wheels
will not rotate.
(4) Note governor pressure:
• Governor pressure should be no more than 20.6
kPa (3 psi) at curb idle speed and wheels not rotating.
• If pressure exceeds 20.6 kPa (3 psi), a fault
exists in governor pressure control system.
(5) Release brakes, slowly increase engine speed,
and observe speedometer and pressure test gauge (do
not exceed 30 mph on speedometer). Governor pressure should increase in proportion to vehicle speed.
Or approximately 6.89 kPa (1 psi) for every 1 mph.
(6) Governor pressure rise should be smooth and
drop back to no more than 20.6 kPa (3 psi), after
engine returns to curb idle and brakes are applied to
prevent wheels from rotating.
(7) Compare results of pressure test with analysis
chart.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - AIR TESTING
TRANSMISSION CLUTCH AND BAND
OPERATION
Air-pressure testing can be used to check transmission front/rear clutch and band operation. The test
can be conducted with the transmission either in the
vehicle or on the work bench, as a final check, after
overhaul.
Air-pressure testing requires that the oil pan and
valve body be removed from the transmission. The
servo and clutch apply passages are shown (Fig. 10).

Piston movement can be felt and a soft thump heard
as the clutch applies.

Front Servo Air Test
Apply air pressure to the front servo apply passage. The servo rod should extend and cause the
band to tighten around the drum. Spring pressure
should release the servo when air pressure is
removed.

Rear Servo Air Test
Apply air pressure to the rear servo apply passage.
The servo rod should extend and cause the band to
tighten around the drum. Spring pressure should

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - CONVERTER
HOUSING FLUID LEAK
When diagnosing converter housing fluid leaks,
two items must be established before repair.
(1) Verify that a leak condition actually exists.
(2) Determined the true source of the leak.
Some suspected converter housing fluid leaks may
not be leaks at all. They may only be the result of
residual fluid in the converter housing, or excess
fluid spilled during factory fill or fill after repair.
Converter housing leaks have several potential
sources. Through careful observation, a leak source
can be identified before removing the transmission
for repair. Pump seal leaks tend to move along the
drive hub and onto the rear of the converter. Pump
body leaks follow the same path as a seal leak (Fig.
11). Pump vent or pump attaching bolt leaks are generally deposited on the inside of the converter housing and not on the converter itself (Fig. 11). Pump
o-ring or gasket leaks usually travel down the inside
of the converter housing. Front band lever pin plug
leaks are generally deposited on the housing and not
on the converter.

TORQUE CONVERTER LEAK POINTS
Possible sources of converter leaks are:
(1) Leaks at the weld joint around the outside
diameter weld (Fig. 12).
(2) Leaks at the converter hub weld (Fig. 12).

CONVERTER HOUSING AREA LEAK CORRECTION
(1) Remove converter.
(2) Tighten front band adjusting screw until band
is tight around front clutch retainer. This prevents
front/rear clutches from coming out when oil pump is
removed.
(3) Remove oil pump and remove pump seal.
Inspect pump housing drainback and vent holes for
obstructions. Clear holes with solvent and wire.
(4) Inspect pump bushing and converter hub. If
bushing is scored, replace it. If converter hub is

21 - 102

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - 46RE

BR/BE

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - 46RE (Continued)
scored, either polish it with crocus cloth or replace
converter.
(5) Install new pump seal, O-ring, and gasket.
Replace oil pump if cracked, porous or damaged in
any way. Be sure to loosen the front band before
installing the oil pump, damage to the oil pump seal
may occur if the band is still tightened to the front
clutch retainer.
(6) Loosen kickdown lever pin access plug three
turns. Apply Loctite™ 592, or Permatext No. 2 to
plug threads and tighten plug to 17 N·m (150 in. lbs.)
torque.
(7) Adjust front band.
(8) Lubricate pump seal and converter hub with
transmission fluid or petroleum jelly and install converter.
(9) Install transmission and converter housing
dust shield.

(10) Lower vehicle.

CLEANING
Clean the case in a solvent tank. Flush the case
bores and fluid passages thoroughly with solvent.
Dry the case and all fluid passages with compressed
air. Be sure all solvent is removed from the case and
that all fluid passages are clear.
NOTE: Do not use shop towels or rags to dry the
case (or any other transmission component) unless
they are made from lint-free materials. Lint will stick
to case surfaces and transmission components and
circulate throughout the transmission after assembly. A sufficient quantity of lint can block fluid passages and interfere with valve body operation.
Lubricate transmission parts with Mopart ATF +4,
type 9602, transmission fluid during overhaul and
assembly. Use petroleum jelly, Mopart Door Ease, or
Ru-Glyde™ to prelubricate seals, O-rings, and thrust
washers. Petroleum jelly can also be used to hold
parts in place during reassembly.

INSPECTION
Inspect the case for cracks, porous spots, worn
bores, or damaged threads. Damaged threads can be
repaired with Helicoil thread inserts. However, the
case will have to be replaced if it exhibits any type of
damage or wear.
Lubricate the front band adjusting screw threads
with petroleum jelly and thread the screw part-way
into the case. Be sure the screw turns freely.

Inspect the transmission bushings during overhaul.
Bushing condition is important as worn, scored bushings contribute to low pressures, clutch slip and
accelerated wear of other components. However, do
not replace bushings as a matter of course. Replace
bushings only when they are actually worn, or
scored.
Use recommended tools to replace bushings. The
tools are sized and designed to remove, install, and
seat bushings correctly. The bushing replacement
tools are included in Bushing Tool Set C-3887-B.
Pre-sized service bushings are available for
replacement purposes. Only the sun gear bushings
are not serviced.
The use of crocus cloth is permissible where necessary, providing it is used carefully. When used on
shafts, or valves, use extreme care to avoid rounding
off sharp edges. Sharp edges are vital as they prevent foreign matter from getting between the valve
and valve bore.
Do not reuse oil seals, gaskets, seal rings, or
O-rings during overhaul. Replace these parts as a
matter of course. Also do not reuse snap rings or
E-clips that are bent or distorted. Replace these parts
as well.

ASSEMBLY
Do not allow dirt, grease, or foreign material to
enter the case or transmission components during
assembly. Keep the transmission case and components clean. Also make sure the tools and workbench
area used for reassembly operations are equally
clean.
Shop towels used for wiping off tools and your
hands must be made from lint free materials. Lint
will stick to transmission parts and could interfere
with valve operation or even restrict fluid passages.
Lubricate transmission clutch and gear components with Mopart ATF +4, type 9602, during reassembly. Soak clutch discs in transmission fluid before
installation.
Use Mopart Door Ease, or Ru-Glyde™ on piston
seals and O-rings to ease installation. Petroleum jelly
can also be used to lubricate and hold thrust washers
and plates in position during assembly.
Do not use chassis grease, bearing grease,
white grease, or similar lubricants on any part.
These types of lubricants can eventually block or
restrict fluid passages and valve operation. Use
petroleum jelly only.
Do not force parts into place. The transmission
components and sub-assemblies are easily installed
by hand when properly aligned. If a part seems difficult to install, it is either misaligned or incorrectly
assembled. Verify that thrust washers, thrust plates
and seal rings are correctly positioned.

The planetary geartrain, front/rear clutch assemblies and oil pump are all much easier to install
when the transmission case is upright. Either tilt the
case upward with wood blocks, or cut a hole in the
bench large enough for the intermediate shaft and
rear support. Then lower the shaft and support into
the hole and support the rear of the case directly on
the bench.

INPUT SHAFT END PLAY CHECK
NOTE: Overdrive unit must be installed in order to
correctly measure the input shaft end-play.
(1) Measure input shaft end play (Fig. 62).
NOTE: If end play is incorrect, transmission is
incorrectly assembled, or reaction shaft thrust
washer is incorrect. The reaction shaft thrust
washer is selective.
(a) Attach Adapter 8266-5 to Handle 8266-8.
(b) Attach dial indicator C-3339 to Handle
8266-8.
(c) Install the assembled tool onto the input
shaft of the transmission and tighten the retaining
screw on Adapter 8266-5 to secure it to the input
shaft.
(d) Position the dial indicator plunger against a
flat spot on the oil pump and zero the dial indicator.
(e) Move input shaft in and out and record reading. End play should be 0.86-2.13 mm (0.034-0.084
in.). Adjust as necessary.

(2) Verify that park/neutral position switch has
not been installed in case. Valve body can not be
installed if switch is in position.
(3) Install new valve body manual shaft seal in
case (Fig. 64). Lubricate seal lip and manual shaft
with petroleum jelly. Start seal over shaft and into
case. Seat seal with 15/16 inch, deep well socket.
(4) Install valve body as follows:
(a) Start park rod into park pawl. If rod will not
slide past park pawl, pawl is engaged in park gear.
Rotate overdrive output shaft with suitable size 12
point socket; this will free pawl and allow rod to
engage.
(b) Align and seat valve body on case. Be sure
manual lever shaft and overdrive connector are
fully seated in case.
(c) Install and start all valve body attaching
bolts by hand. Then tighten bolts evenly, in a diagonal pattern to 12 N·m (105 in. lbs.) torque. Do
not overtighten valve body bolts. This could
result in distortion and cross leakage after
installation..
(5) Install new filter on valve body. Tighten filter
screws to 4 N·m (35 in. lbs.).
(6) Install seal on park/neutral position switch.
Then install and tighten switch to 34 N·m (25 ft.
lbs.).

ACCUMULATOR
DESCRIPTION

Remover, Reaction Shaft Bushing - SP-5301, From
Kit C-3887-J

The accumulator (Fig. 66) is a hydraulic device
that has the sole purpose of cushioning the application of a band or clutch. The accumulator consists of
a dual-land piston and a spring located in a bore in
the transmission case. The 3-4 accumulator is located
in a housing attached to the side of the valve body
(Fig. 67).

ACCUMULATOR (Continued)

OPERATION
Both the accumulator and the 3-4 accumulator
function the same. Line pressure is directed to the
small end of the piston when the transmission is
placed into a DRIVE position (Fig. 68), bottoming it
against the accumulator plate. When the 1-2 upshift
occurs (Fig. 69), line pressure is directed to the large
end of the piston and then to the kickdown servo. As
the line pressure reaches the accumulator, the combination of spring pressure and line pressure forces
the piston away from the accumulator plate. This
causes a balanced pressure situation, which results
in a cushioned band application. After the kickdown
servo has become immovable, line pressure will finish pushing the accumulator up into its bore. When
the large end of the accumulator piston is seated in
its bore, the band or clutch is fully applied.
NOTE: The accumulator is shown in the inverted
position for illustrative purposes.

ELECTRONIC GOVERNOR (Continued)

GOVERNOR PRESSURE CURVES
There are four governor pressure curves programmed into the transmission control module. The
different curves allow the control module to adjust
governor pressure for varying conditions. One curve
is used for operation when fluid temperature is at, or
below, –1°C (30°F). A second curve is used when fluid
temperature is at, or above, 10°C (50°F) during normal city or highway driving. A third curve is used
during wide-open throttle operation. The fourth curve
is used when driving with the transfer case in low
range.

OPERATION
Compensation is required for performance variations of two of the input devices. Though the slope of
the transfer functions is tightly controlled, offset may
vary due to various environmental factors or manufacturing tolerances.
The pressure transducer is affected by barometric
pressure as well as temperature. Calibration of the
zero pressure offset is required to compensate for
shifting output due to these factors.
Normal calibration will be performed when sump
temperature is above 50 degrees F, or in the absence
of sump temperature data, after the first 10 minutes
of vehicle operation. Calibration of the pressure
transducer offset occurs each time the output shaft
speed falls below 200 RPM. Calibration shall be
repeated each 3 seconds the output shaft speed is
below 200 RPM. A 0.5 second pulse of 95% duty cycle
is applied to the governor pressure solenoid valve
and the transducer output is read during this pulse.
Averaging of the transducer signal is necessary to
reject electrical noise.
Under cold conditions (below 50 degrees F sump),
the governor pressure solenoid valve response may
be too slow to guarantee 0 psi during the 0.5 second
calibration pulse. Calibration pulses are continued
during this period, however the transducer output
valves are discarded. Transducer offset must be read
at key-on, under conditions which promote a stable
reading. This value is retained and becomes the offset during the 9cold9 period of operation.

GOVERNOR PRESSURE SOLENOID VALVE
The inlet side of the solenoid valve is exposed to
normal transmission line pressure. The outlet side of
the valve leads to the valve body governor circuit.
The solenoid valve regulates line pressure to produce governor pressure. The average current supplied to the solenoid controls governor pressure. One
amp current produces zero kPa/psi governor pressure. Zero amps sets the maximum governor pressure.

The powertrain control module (PCM) turns on the
trans control relay which supplies electrical power to
the solenoid valve. Operating voltage is 12 volts
(DC). The PCM controls the ground side of the solenoid using the governor pressure solenoid control circuit.

GOVERNOR PRESSURE SENSOR
The sensor output signal provides the necessary
feedback to the PCM. This feedback is needed to adequately control governor pressure.

GOVERNOR BODY AND TRANSFER PLATE
The transfer plate channels line pressure to the
solenoid valve through the governor body. It also
channels governor pressure from the solenoid valve
to the governor circuit. It is the solenoid valve that
develops the necessary governor pressure.

When the transmission fluid is cold the conventional governor can delay shifts, resulting in higher
than normal shift speeds and harsh shifts. The electronically controlled low temperature governor pressure curve is higher than normal to make the
transmission shift at normal speeds and sooner. The
PCM uses a temperature sensor in the transmission
oil sump to determine when low temperature governor pressure is needed.
NORMAL OPERATION
Normal operation is refined through the increased
computing power of the PCM and through access to
data on engine operating conditions provided by the
PCM that were not available with the previous
stand-alone electronic module. This facilitated the
development of a load adaptive shift strategy - the
ability to alter the shift schedule in response to vehicle load condition. One manifestation of this capability is grade 9hunting9 prevention - the ability of the
transmission logic to delay an upshift on a grade if
the engine does not have sufficient power to maintain speed in the higher gear. The 3-2 downshift and
the potential for hunting between gears occurs with a
heavily loaded vehicle or on steep grades. When
hunting occurs, it is very objectionable because shifts
are frequent and accompanied by large changes in
noise and acceleration.
WIDE OPEN THROTTLE OPERATION
In wide-open throttle (WOT) mode, adaptive memory in the PCM assures that up-shifts occur at the
preprogrammed optimum speed. WOT operation is
determined from the throttle position sensor, which
is also a part of the emission control system. The ini-

21 - 154

ELECTRONIC GOVERNOR (Continued)
tial setting for the WOT upshift is below the optimum engine speed. As WOT shifts are repeated, the
PCM learns the time required to complete the shifts
by comparing the engine speed when the shifts occur
to the optimum speed. After each shift, the PCM
adjusts the shift point until the optimum speed is
reached. The PCM also considers vehicle loading,
grade and engine performance changes due to high
altitude in determining when to make WOT shifts. It
does this by measuring vehicle and engine acceleration and then factoring in the shift time.
TRANSFER CASE LOW RANGE OPERATION
On four-wheel drive vehicles operating in low
range, the engine can accelerate to its peak more
rapidly than in Normal range, resulting in delayed
shifts and undesirable engine 9flare.9 The low range
governor pressure curve is also higher than normal
to initiate upshifts sooner. The PCM compares electronic vehicle speed signal used by the speedometer
to the transmission output shaft speed signal to
determine when the transfer case is in low range.

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

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - CAUSES OF
BURNT FLUID
Burnt, discolored fluid is a result of overheating
which has two primary causes.
(1) A result of restricted fluid flow through the
main and/or auxiliary cooler. This condition is usually the result of a faulty or improperly installed
drainback valve, a damaged main cooler, or severe
restrictions in the coolers and lines caused by debris
or kinked lines.
(2) Heavy duty operation with a vehicle not properly equipped for this type of operation. Trailer towing or similar high load operation will overheat the
transmission fluid if the vehicle is improperly
equipped. Such vehicles should have an auxiliary
transmission fluid cooler, a heavy duty cooling system, and the engine/axle ratio combination needed to
handle heavy loads.

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

STANDARD PROCEDURE
STANDARD PROCEDURE - FLUID LEVEL
CHECK
Low fluid level can cause a variety of conditions
because it allows the pump to take in air along with
the fluid. As in any hydraulic system, air bubbles
make the fluid spongy, therefore, pressures will be
low and build up slowly.
Improper filling can also raise the fluid level too
high. When the transmssion has too much fluid, the
geartrain churns up foam and cause the same conditions which occur with a low fluid level.

21 - 158

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - 46RE

BR/BE

FLUID AND FILTER (Continued)
In either case, air bubbles can cause overheating
and/or fluid oxidation, and varnishing. This can
interfere with normal valve, clutch, and accumulator
operation. Foaming can also result in fluid escaping
from the transmission vent where it may be mistaken for a leak.
Along with fluid level, it is important to check the
condition of the fluid. When the fluid smells burned,
and is contaminated with metal or friction material
particles, a complete transmission recondition is
needed. Be sure to examine the fluid on the dipstick
closely. If there is any doubt about its condition,
drain out a sample for a double check.
After the fluid has been checked, seat the dipstick
fully to seal out water and dirt.
The transmission has a dipstick to check oil level.
It is located on the right side of the engine. Be sure
to wipe all dirt from dipstick handle before removing.
Fluid level is checked with the engine running at
curb idle speed, the transmission in NEUTRAL and
the transmission fluid at normal operating temperature. The engine should be running at idle
speed for at least one minute, with the vehicle
on level ground.
The transmission fluid level can be checked two
ways.

PROCEDURE ONE
(1) Transmission fluid must be at normal operating temperature for accurate fluid level check. Drive
vehicle if necessary to bring fluid temperature up to
normal hot operating temperature of 82°C (180°F).
(2) Position vehicle on level surface.
(3) Start and run engine at curb idle speed.
(4) Apply parking brakes.
(5) Shift transmission momentarily into all gear
ranges. Then shift transmission back to NEUTRAL.
(6) Clean top of filler tube and dipstick to keep
dirt from entering tube.
(7) Remove dipstick (Fig. 89) and check fluid level
as follows:
(a) Correct acceptable level is in crosshatch area.
(b) Correct maximum level is to MAX arrow
mark.
(c) Incorrect level is at or below MIN line.
(d) If fluid is low, add only enough Mopart ATF +4,
type 9602, to restore correct level. Do not overfill.

PROCEDURE TWO
(1) Start engine and apply parking brake.
(2) Shift the transmission into DRIVE for approximately 2 seconds.
(3) Shift the transmission into REVERSE for
approximately 2 seconds.
(4) Shift the transmission into PARK.
(5) Hook up DRBt scan tool and select engine.

(6) Select sensors.
(7) Read the transmission temperature value.
(8) Compare the fluid temperature value with the
figure. (Fig. 90)
(9) Adjust transmission fluid level shown on the
dipstick according to the figure.
NOTE: After adding any fluid to the transmission,
wait a minimum of 2 minutes for the oil to fully
drain from the fill tube into the transmission before
rechecking the fluid level.
(10) Check transmission for leaks.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - FLUID AND FILTER
REPLACEMENT
For proper service intervals (Refer to LUBRICATION & MAINTENANCE/MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES - DESCRIPTION). The service fluid fill after a
filter change is approximately 3.8 liters (4.0 quarts).

REMOVAL
(1) Hoist and support vehicle on safety stands.
(2) Place a large diameter shallow drain pan
beneath the transmission pan.
(3) Remove bolts holding front and sides of pan to

(4) Loosen bolts holding rear of pan to transmission.
(5) Slowly separate front of pan and gasket away
from transmission allowing the fluid to drain into
drain pan.
(6) Hold up pan and remove remaining bolt holding pan to transmission.
(7) While holding pan level, lower pan and gasket
away from transmission.
(8) Pour remaining fluid in pan into drain pan.
(9) Remove screws holding filter to valve body
(Fig. 92).
(10) Separate filter from valve body and pour fluid
in filter into drain pan.
(11) Dispose of used trans fluid and filter properly.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - TRANSMISSION
FILL
To avoid overfilling transmission after a fluid
change or overhaul, perform the following procedure:
(1) Remove dipstick and insert clean funnel in
transmission fill tube.
(2) Add following initial quantity of Mopart ATF
+4, type 9602, to transmission:
(a) If only fluid and filter were changed, add 3
pints (1-1/2 quarts) of ATF +4 to transmission.
(b) If transmission was completely overhauled,
torque converter was replaced or drained, and
cooler was flushed, add 12 pints (6 quarts) of ATF
+4 to transmission.
(3) Apply parking brakes.
(4) Start and run engine at normal curb idle
speed.
(5) Apply service brakes, shift transmission
through all gear ranges then back to NEUTRAL, set
parking brake, and leave engine running at curb idle
speed.
(6) Remove funnel, insert dipstick and check fluid
level. If level is low, add fluid to bring level to
MIN mark on dipstick. Check to see if the oil level
is equal on both sides of the dipstick. If one side is
noticably higher than the other, the dipstick has
picked up some oil from the dipstick tube. Allow the
oil to drain down the dipstick tube and re-check.
(7) Drive vehicle until transmission fluid is at normal operating temperature.

(8) With the engine running at curb idle speed, the
gear selector in NEUTRAL, and the parking brake
applied, check the transmission fluid level.
CAUTION: Do not overfill transmission, fluid foaming and shifting problems can result.
(9) Add fluid to bring level up to MAX arrow
mark.
When fluid level is correct, shut engine off, release
park brake, remove funnel, and install dipstick in fill
tube.

FRONT CLUTCH
DESCRIPTION
The front clutch assembly (Fig. 93) is composed of
the front clutch retainer, pressure plate, clutch
plates, driving discs, piston, piston return spring,
return spring retainer, and snap-rings. The front
clutch is the forward-most component in the transmission geartrain and is directly behind the oil pump
and is considered a driving component.
NOTE: The number of discs and plates may vary
with each engine and vehicle combination.

OPERATION
To apply the clutch, pressure is applied between
the clutch retainer and piston. The fluid pressure is
provided by the oil pump, transferred through the
control valves and passageways, and enters the
clutch through the hub of the reaction shaft support.
With pressure applied between the clutch retainer
and piston, the piston moves away from the clutch
retainer and compresses the clutch pack. This action
applies the clutch pack, allowing torque to flow
through the input shaft into the driving discs, and
into the clutch plates and pressure plate that are
lugged to the clutch retainer. The waved snap-ring is
used to cushion the application of the clutch pack.
When pressure is released from the piston, the
spring returns the piston to its fully released position
and disengages the clutch. The release spring also
helps to cushion the application of the clutch assembly. When the clutch is in the process of being
released by the release spring, fluid flows through a
vent and one-way ball-check-valve located in the
clutch retainer. The check-valve is needed to eliminate the possibility of plate drag caused by centrifugal force acting on the residual fluid trapped in the
clutch piston retainer.

FRONT SERVO
DESCRIPTION
The kickdown servo (Fig. 100) consists of a twoland piston with an inner piston, a piston rod and
guide, and a return spring. The dual-land piston uses
seal rings on its outer diameters and an O-ring for
the inner piston.

OPERATION
The application of the piston is accomplished by
applying pressure between the two lands of the piston. The pressure acts against the larger lower land
to push the piston downward, allowing the piston rod
to extend though its guide against the apply lever.
Release of the servo at the 2-3 upshift is accomplished by a combination of spring and line pressure,
acting on the bottom of the larger land of the piston.
The small piston is used to cushion the application of
the band by bleeding oil through a small orifice in
the larger piston. The release timing of the kickdown
servo is very important to obtain a smooth but firm
shift. The release has to be very quick, just as the
front clutch application is taking place. Otherwise,
engine runaway or a shift hesitation will occur. To
accomplish this, the band retains its holding capacity

(1) Remove seal ring from rod guide (Fig. 101).
(2) Remove small snap-ring from servo piston rod.
Then remove piston rod, spring and washer from piston.
(3) Remove and discard servo component O-ring
and seal rings.

CLEANING
Clean the servo piston components (Fig. 102) with
solvent and dry them with compressed air.

INSPECTION
Inspect the servo components (Fig. 103). Replace
the springs if collapsed, distorted or broken. Replace
the guide, rod and piston if cracked, bent, or worn.
Discard the servo snap-ring if distorted or warped.
Check the servo piston bore for wear. If the bore is
severely scored, or damaged, it will be necessary to
replace the case.
Replace any servo component if doubt exists about
condition. Do not reuse suspect parts.

ASSEMBLY
Clean and inspect front servo components.
(1) Lubricate new o-ring and seal rings with petroleum jelly and install them on piston, guide and rod.
(2) Install rod in piston. Install spring and washer
on rod. Compress spring and install snap-ring (Fig.
104).

STANDARD PROCEDURE - OIL PUMP VOLUME
CHECK

OIL PUMP
DESCRIPTION
The oil pump (Fig. 105) is located in the pump
housing inside the bell housing of the transmission
case. The oil pump consists of an inner and outer
gear, a housing, and a reaction shaft support.

OPERATION
As the torque converter rotates, the converter hub
rotates the inner and outer gears. As the gears
rotate, the clearance between the gear teeth
increases in the crescent area, and creates a suction
at the inlet side of the pump. This suction draws
fluid through the pump inlet from the oil pan. As the
clearance between the gear teeth in the crescent area
decreases, it forces pressurized fluid into the pump
outlet and to the valve body.

Measuring the oil pump output volume will determine if sufficient oil flow to the transmission oil
cooler exists, and whether or not an internal transmission failure is present.
Verify that the transmission fluid is at the proper
level. Refer to the Fluid Level Check procedure in
this section. If necessary, fill the transmission to the
proper level with Mopart ATF +4, type 9602, Automatic Transmission Fluid.
(1) Disconnect the To cooler line at the cooler
inlet and place a collecting container under the disconnected line.
CAUTION: With the fluid set at the proper level,
fluid collection should not exceed (1) quart or internal damage to the transmission may occur.

To apply the clutch, pressure is applied between
the piston retainer and piston. The fluid pressure is
provided by the oil pump, transferred through the
control valves and passageways, and enters the
clutch through passages at the lower rear portion of
the valve body area. With pressure applied between
the piston retainer and piston, the piston moves
away from the piston retainer and compresses the
clutch pack. This action applies the clutch pack,
allowing torque to flow through the intermediate
shaft into the overdrive planetary gear set. The overdrive clutch discs are attached to the overdrive clutch
hub while the overdrive clutch plates, reaction plate,
and pressure plate are lugged to the overdrive housing. This allows the intermediate shaft to transfer
the engine torque to the planetary gear and overrunning clutch. This drives the planetary gear inside the
annulus, which is attached to the overdrive clutch
drum and output shaft, creating the desired gear
ratio. The waved snap-ring is used to cushion the
application of the clutch pack.

OVERDRIVE CLUTCH
DESCRIPTION
The overdrive clutch (Fig. 118) is composed of the
pressure plate, clutch plates, holding discs, overdrive
piston retainer, piston, piston spacer, and snap-rings.
The overdrive clutch is the forwardmost component
in the transmission overdrive unit and is considered
a holding component. The overdrive piston retainer,
piston, and piston spacer are located on the rear of
the main transmission case.
NOTE: The number of discs and plates may vary
with each engine and vehicle combination.

PISTON RETAINER

OPERATION
As the inner race is rotated in a clockwise direction
(as viewed from the front of the transmission), the
race causes the rollers to roll toward the springs,
causing them to compress against their retainer. The
compression of the springs increases the clearance
between the rollers and cam. This increased clearance between the rollers and cam results in a freewheeling condition. When the inner race attempts to
rotate counterclockwise, the action causes the rollers
to roll in the same direction as the race, aided by the
pushing of the springs. As the rollers try to move in
the same direction as the inner race, they are
wedged between the inner and outer races due to the
design of the cam. In this condition, the clutch is
locked and acts as one unit.

PISTONS
DESCRIPTION
There are several sizes and types of pistons used in
an automatic transmission. Some pistons are used to
apply clutches, while others are used to apply bands.
They all have in common the fact that they are
round or circular in shape, located within a smooth
walled cylinder, which is closed at one end and converts fluid pressure into mechanical movement. The
fluid pressure exerted on the piston is contained
within the system through the use of piston rings or
seals.

21 - 196

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - 46RE

BR/BE

PISTONS (Continued)

OPERATION
The principal which makes this operation possible
is known as Pascal’s Law. Pascal’s Law can be stated
as: “Pressure on a confined fluid is transmitted
equally in all directions and acts with equal force on
equal areas.”

PRESSURE
Pressure (Fig. 197) is nothing more than force
(lbs.) divided by area (in or ft.), or force per unit
area. Given a 100 lb. block and an area of 100 sq. in.
on the floor, the pressure exerted by the block is: 100
lbs. 100 in or 1 pound per square inch, or PSI as it is
commonly referred to.

The pressure created in the fluid is equal to the force
applied, divided by the piston area. If the force is 100
lbs., and the piston area is 10 sq. in., then the pressure created equals 10 PSI. Another interpretation of
Pascal’s Law is that regardless of container shape or
size, the pressure will be maintained throughout, as
long as the fluid is confined. In other words, the
pressure in the fluid is the same everywhere within
the container.

Fig. 198 Pressure on a Confined Fluid

FORCE MULTIPLICATION

Fig. 197 Force and Pressure Relationship

PRESSURE ON A CONFINED FLUID
Pressure is exerted on a confined fluid (Fig. 198)
by applying a force to some given area in contact
with the fluid. A good example of this is a cylinder
filled with fluid and equipped with a piston that is
closely fitted to the cylinder wall. If a force is applied
to the piston, pressure will be developed in the fluid.
Of course, no pressure will be created if the fluid is
not confined. It will simply “leak” past the piston.
There must be a resistance to flow in order to create
pressure. Piston sealing is extremely important in
hydraulic operation. Several kinds of seals are used
to accomplish this within a transmission. These
include but are not limited to O-rings, D-rings, lip
seals, sealing rings, or extremely close tolerances
between the piston and the cylinder wall. The force
exerted is downward (gravity), however, the principle
remains the same no matter which direction is taken.

Using the 10 PSI example used in the illustration
(Fig. 199), a force of 1000 lbs. can be moved with a
force of only 100 lbs. The secret of force multiplication in hydraulic systems is the total fluid contact
area employed. The illustration, (Fig. 199), shows an
area that is ten times larger than the original area.
The pressure created with the smaller 100 lb. input
is 10 PSI. The concept “pressure is the same everywhere” means that the pressure underneath the
larger piston is also 10 PSI. Pressure is equal to the
force applied divided by the contact area. Therefore,
by means of simple algebra, the output force may be
found. This concept is extremely important, as it is
also used in the design and operation of all shift
valves and limiting valves in the valve body, as well
as the pistons, of the transmission, which activate
the clutches and bands. It is nothing more than
using a difference of area to create a difference in
pressure to move an object.

PLANETARY GEARTRAIN/

DESCRIPTION
The planetary gearsets (Fig. 201) are designated as
the front, rear, and overdrive planetary gear assemblies and located in such order. A simple planetary
gearset consists of three main members:

Fig. 199 Force Multiplication

PISTON TRAVEL
The relationship between hydraulic lever and a
mechanical lever is the same. With a mechanical
lever it’s a weight-to-distance output rather than a
pressure-to-area output. Using the same forces and
areas as in the previous example, the smaller piston
(Fig. 200) has to move ten times the distance
required to move the larger piston one inch. Therefore, for every inch the larger piston moves, the
smaller piston moves ten inches. This principle is
true in other instances also. A common garage floor
jack is a good example. To raise a car weighing 2000
lbs., an effort of only 100 lbs. may be required. For
every inch the car moves upward, the input piston at
the jack handle must move 20 inches downward.

• The sun gear which is at the center of the system.
• The planet carrier with planet pinion gears
which are free to rotate on their own shafts and are
in mesh with the sun gear.
• The annulus gear, which rotates around and is
in mesh with the planet pinion gears.
NOTE: The number of pinion gears does not affect
the gear ratio, only the duty rating.

OPERATION
With any given planetary gearset, several conditions must be met for power to be able to flow:
• One member must be held.
• Another member must be driven or used as an
input.
• The third member may be used as an output for
power flow.
• For direct drive to occur, two gear members in
the front planetary gearset must be driven.
NOTE: Gear ratios are dependent on the number of
teeth on the annulus and sun gears.

REAR CLUTCH
DESCRIPTION
The rear clutch assembly (Fig. 222) is composed of
the rear clutch retainer, pressure plate, clutch plates,
driving discs, piston, Belleville spring, and snaprings. The Belleville spring acts as a lever to multiply the force applied on to it by the apply piston. The
increased apply force on the rear clutch pack, in comparison to the front clutch pack, is needed to hold
against the greater torque load imposed onto the rear
pack. The rear clutch is directly behind the front
clutch and is considered a driving component.
NOTE: The number of discs and plates may vary
with each engine and vehicle combination.

To apply the clutch, pressure is applied between
the clutch retainer and piston. The fluid pressure is
provided by the oil pump, transferred through the
control valves and passageways, and enters the
clutch through the hub of the reaction shaft support.
With pressure applied between the clutch retainer
and piston, the piston moves away from the clutch
retainer and compresses the clutch pack. This action
applies the clutch pack, allowing torque to flow
through the input shaft into the driving discs, and
into the clutch plates and pressure plate that are
lugged to the clutch retainer. The waved spring is
used to cushion the application of the clutch pack.
The snap-ring is selective and used to adjust clutch
pack clearance.
When pressure is released from the piston, the
spring returns the piston to its fully released position
and disengages the clutch. The release spring also
helps to cushion the application of the clutch assembly. When the clutch is in the process of being
released by the release spring, fluid flows through a
vent and one-way ball-check-valve located in the piston. The check-valve is needed to eliminate the possibility of plate drag caused by centrifugal force
acting on the residual fluid trapped in the clutch piston retainer.

REAR SERVO
DESCRIPTION
The rear (low/reverse) servo consists of a single
stage or diameter piston and a spring loaded plug.
The spring is used to cushion the application of the
rear (low/reverse) band.

OPERATION
While in the de-energized state (no pressure
applied), the piston is held up in its bore by the piston spring. The plug is held down in its bore, in the
piston, by the plug spring. When pressure is applied
to the top of the piston, the plug is forced down in its
bore, taking up any clearance. As the piston moves, it
causes the plug spring to compress, and the piston
moves down over the plug. The piston continues to
move down until it hits the shoulder of the plug and
fully applies the band. The period of time from the
initial application, until the piston is against the
shoulder of the plug, represents a reduced shocking
of the band that cushions the shift.

DISASSEMBLY

spring from servo piston (Fig. 227).
(2) Remove and discard servo piston seal ring.

SHIFT MECHANISM
DESCRIPTION
The gear shift mechanism provides six shift positions which are:
• PARK (P)
• REVERSE (R)
• NEUTRAL (N)
• DRIVE (D)
• Manual SECOND (2)
• Manual LOW (1)

BR/BE

(3) Loosen lock bolt in front shift rod adjusting
swivel (Fig. 230).
(4) Ensure that the shift rod slides freely in the
swivel. Lube rod and swivel as necessary.
(5) Move transmission shift lever fully rearward to
the Park detent.
(6) Center adjusting swivel on shift rod.
(7) Tighten swivel lock bolt to 10 N·m (90 in. lbs.).
(8) Lower vehicle and verify proper adjustment.

OPERATION
Manual LOW (1) range provides first gear only.
Overrun braking is also provided in this range. Manual SECOND (2) range provides first and second gear
only.
DRIVE range provides first, second third and overdrive fourth gear ranges. The shift into overdrive
fourth gear range occurs only after the transmission
has completed the shift into D third gear range. No
further movement of the shift mechanism is required
to complete the 3-4 shift.
The fourth gear upshift occurs automatically when
the overdrive selector switch is in the ON position.
No upshift to fourth gear will occur if any of the following are true:
• The transmission fluid temperature is below 10°
C (50° F) or above 121° C (250° F).
• The shift to third is not yet complete.
• Vehicle speed is too low for the 3-4 shift to occur.
• Battery temperature is below -5° C (23° F).

SOLENOID
DESCRIPTION
The typical electrical solenoid used in automotive
applications is a linear actuator. It is a device that
produces motion in a straight line. This straight line
motion can be either forward or backward in direction, and short or long distance.
A solenoid is an electromechanical device that uses
a magnetic force to perform work. It consists of a coil
of wire, wrapped around a magnetic core made from
steel or iron, and a spring loaded, movable plunger,
which performs the work, or straight line motion.
The solenoids used in transmission applications
are attached to valves which can be classified as normally open or normally closed. The normally
open solenoid valve is defined as a valve which
allows hydraulic flow when no current or voltage is
applied to the solenoid. The normally closed sole-

BR/BE

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - 46RE

21 - 209

SOLENOID (Continued)
noid valve is defined as a valve which does not allow
hydraulic flow when no current or voltage is applied
to the solenoid. These valves perform hydraulic control functions for the transmission and must therefore be durable and tolerant of dirt particles. For
these reasons, the valves have hardened steel poppets and ball valves. The solenoids operate the valves
directly, which means that the solenoids must have
very high outputs to close the valves against the sizable flow areas and line pressures found in current
transmissions. Fast response time is also necessary
to ensure accurate control of the transmission.
The strength of the magnetic field is the primary
force that determines the speed of operation in a particular solenoid design. A stronger magnetic field will
cause the plunger to move at a greater speed than a
weaker one. There are basically two ways to increase
the force of the magnetic field:
• Increase the amount of current applied to the
coil or
• Increase the number of turns of wire in the coil.
The most common practice is to increase the number of turns by using thin wire that can completely
fill the available space within the solenoid housing.
The strength of the spring and the length of the
plunger also contribute to the response speed possible by a particular solenoid design.
A solenoid can also be described by the method by
which it is controlled. Some of the possibilities
include variable force, pulse-width modulated, constant ON, or duty cycle. The variable force and pulsewidth modulated versions utilize similar methods to
control the current flow through the solenoid to position the solenoid plunger at a desired position somewhere between full ON and full OFF. The constant
ON and duty cycled versions control the voltage
across the solenoid to allow either full flow or no flow
through the solenoid’s valve.

OPERATION
When an electrical current is applied to the solenoid coil, a magnetic field is created which produces
an attraction to the plunger, causing the plunger to
move and work against the spring pressure and the
load applied by the fluid the valve is controlling. The
plunger is normally directly attached to the valve
which it is to operate. When the current is removed
from the coil, the attraction is removed and the
plunger will return to its original position due to
spring pressure.
The plunger is made of a conductive material and
accomplishes this movement by providing a path for
the magnetic field to flow. By keeping the air gap
between the plunger and the coil to the minimum
necessary to allow free movement of the plunger, the
magnetic field is maximized.

SPEED SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
The speed sensor (Fig. 231) is located in the overdrive gear case. The sensor is positioned over the
park gear and monitors transmission output shaft
rotating speed.

Fig. 231 Transmission Output Speed Sensor
1 - TRANSMISSION OUTPUT SHAFT SPEED SENSOR
2 - SEAL

OPERATION
Speed sensor signals are triggered by the park
gear lugs as they rotate past the sensor pickup face.
Input signals from the sensor are sent to the transmission control module for processing. Signals from
this sensor are shared with the powertrain control
module.

THROTTLE VALVE CABLE
DESCRIPTION
Transmission throttle valve cable (Fig. 232) adjustment is extremely important to proper operation.
This adjustment positions the throttle valve, which
controls shift speed, quality, and part-throttle downshift sensitivity.
If cable setting is too loose, early shifts and slippage between shifts may occur. If the setting is too
tight, shifts may be delayed and part throttle downshifts may be very sensitive.
The transmission throttle valve is operated by a
cam on the throttle lever. The throttle lever is operated by an adjustable cable (Fig. 233). The cable is
attached to an arm mounted on the throttle lever
shaft. A retaining clip at the engine-end of the cable
is removed to provide for cable adjustment. The
retaining clip is then installed back onto the throttle
valve cable to lock in the adjustment.

A correctly adjusted throttle valve cable will cause
the throttle lever on the transmission to move simultaneously with the throttle body lever from the idle
position. Proper adjustment will allow simultaneous
movement without causing the transmission throttle
lever to either move ahead of, or lag behind the lever
on the throttle body.

ADJUSTMENT VERIFICATION
(1) Turn ignition key to OFF position.
(2) Remove air cleaner.
(3) Verify that lever on throttle body is at curb idle
position (Fig. 234). Then verify that the transmission
throttle lever (Fig. 235) is also at idle (fully forward)
position.
(4) Slide cable off attachment stud on throttle body
lever.
(5) Compare position of cable end to attachment
stud on throttle body lever:
• Cable end and attachment stud should be
aligned (or centered on one another) to within 1 mm
(0.039 in.) in either direction (Fig. 236).

• If cable end and attachment stud are misaligned
(off center), cable will have to be adjusted as
described in Throttle Valve Cable Adjustment procedure.
(6) Reconnect cable end to attachment stud. Then
with aid of a helper, observe movement of transmission throttle lever and lever on throttle body.
• If both levers move simultaneously from idle to
half-throttle and back to idle position, adjustment is
correct.
• If transmission throttle lever moves ahead of, or
lags behind throttle body lever, cable adjustment will
be necessary. Or, if throttle body lever prevents
transmission lever from returning to closed position,
cable adjustment will be necessary.

body is at curb idle position.
(5) Pry the T.V. cable lock (A) into the UP position
(Fig. 236). This will unlock the cable and allow for
readjustment.
(6) Apply just enough tension on the T.V. cable (B)
to remove any slack in the cable.Pulling too tight
will cause the T.V. lever on the transmission to
move out of its idle position, which will result
in an incorrect T.V. cable adjustment. Slide the
sheath of the T.V. cable (D) back and forth until the
centerlines of the T.V. cable end (B) and the throttle
bell crank lever (C) are aligned within one millimeter
(1mm) (Fig. 236).
(7) While holding the T.V. cable in the set position
push the T.V. cable lock (A) into the down position
(Fig. 236). This will lock the present T.V. cable

TORQUE CONVERTER
DESCRIPTION
The torque converter (Fig. 237) is a hydraulic
device that couples the engine crankshaft to the
transmission. The torque converter consists of an
outer shell with an internal turbine, a stator, an
overrunning clutch, an impeller and an electronically
applied converter clutch. The converter clutch provides reduced engine speed and greater fuel economy
when engaged. Clutch engagement also provides
reduced transmission fluid temperatures. The torque
converter hub drives the transmission oil (fluid)
pump.
The torque converter is a sealed, welded unit that
is not repairable and is serviced as an assembly.

The impeller (Fig. 238) is an integral part of the
converter housing. The impeller consists of curved
blades placed radially along the inside of the housing
on the transmission side of the converter. As the converter housing is rotated by the engine, so is the
impeller, because they are one and the same and are
the driving members of the system.

the turbine. The design of the turbine is similar to
the impeller, except the blades of the turbine are
curved in the opposite direction.

STATOR
The stator assembly (Fig. 240) is mounted on a stationary shaft which is an integral part of the oil

turbine within the torque converter case (Fig. 241).
The stator contains an over-running clutch, which
allows the stator to rotate only in a clockwise direction. When the stator is locked against the over-running clutch, the torque multiplication feature of the
torque converter is operational.

TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH (TCC)
The TCC (Fig. 242) was installed to improve the
efficiency of the torque converter that is lost to the
slippage of the fluid coupling. Although the fluid coupling provides smooth, shock-free power transfer, it is
natural for all fluid couplings to slip. If the impeller
and turbine were mechanically locked together, a
zero slippage condition could be obtained. A hydraulic
piston was added to the turbine, and a friction material was added to the inside of the front cover to provide this mechanical lock-up.

OPERATION
The converter impeller (Fig. 243) (driving member),
which is integral to the converter housing and bolted
to the engine drive plate, rotates at engine speed.
The converter turbine (driven member), which reacts
from fluid pressure generated by the impeller, rotates
and turns the transmission input shaft.

TURBINE
As the fluid that was put into motion by the impeller blades strikes the blades of the turbine, some of
the energy and rotational force is transferred into the
turbine and the input shaft. This causes both of them
(turbine and input shaft) to rotate in a clockwise
direction following the impeller. As the fluid is leaving the trailing edges of the turbine’s blades it con-

tinues in a “hindering” direction back toward the
impeller. If the fluid is not redirected before it strikes
the impeller, it will strike the impeller in such a
direction that it would tend to slow it down.

STATOR
Torque multiplication is achieved by locking the
stator’s over-running clutch to its shaft (Fig. 244).
Under stall conditions (the turbine is stationary), the
oil leaving the turbine blades strikes the face of the
stator blades and tries to rotate them in a counterclockwise direction. When this happens the overrunning clutch of the stator locks and holds the stator
from rotating. With the stator locked, the oil strikes
the stator blades and is redirected into a “helping”
direction before it enters the impeller. This circulation of oil from impeller to turbine, turbine to stator,
and stator to impeller, can produce a maximum
torque multiplication of about 2.4:1. As the turbine
begins to match the speed of the impeller, the fluid
that was hitting the stator in such as way as to
cause it to lock-up is no longer doing so. In this condition of operation, the stator begins to free wheel
and the converter acts as a fluid coupling.

The torque converter clutch is hydraulically

Module (PCM). The torque converter clutch engages
in fourth gear, and in third gear under various conditions, such as when the O/D switch is OFF, when
the vehicle is cruising on a level surface after the
vehicle has warmed up. The torque converter clutch
will disengage momentarily when an increase in
engine load is sensed by the PCM, such as when the
vehicle begins to go uphill or the throttle pressure is
increased.

of the transmission will shift when the torque converter is removed creating an unstable condition.
The torque converter is a heavy unit. Use caution
when separating the torque converter from the
transmission.
(3) Pull the torque converter forward until the center hub clears the oil pump seal.
(4) Separate the torque converter from the transmission.

INSTALLATION
Check converter hub and drive notches for sharp
edges, burrs, scratches, or nicks. Polish the hub and
notches with 320/400 grit paper or crocus cloth if necessary. The hub must be smooth to avoid damaging
the pump seal at installation.
(1) Lubricate oil pump seal lip with transmission
fluid.
(2) Place torque converter in position on transmission.
CAUTION: Do not damage oil pump seal or bushing
while inserting torque converter into the front of the
transmission.
(3) Align torque converter to oil pump seal opening.
(4) Insert torque converter hub into oil pump.
(5) While pushing torque converter inward, rotate
converter until converter is fully seated in the oil
pump gears.
(6) Check converter seating with a scale and
straightedge (Fig. 245). Surface of converter lugs
should be 1/2 in. to rear of straightedge when converter is fully seated.

DRAINBACK VALVE
DESCRIPTION
The drainback valve is located in the transmission
cooler outlet (pressure) line.

OPERATION
The valve prevents fluid from draining from the
converter into the cooler and lines when the vehicle
is shut down for lengthy periods. Production valves
have a hose nipple at one end, while the opposite end
is threaded for a flare fitting. All valves have an
arrow (or similar mark) to indicate direction of flow
through the valve.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - TORQUE
CONVERTER DRAINBACK VALVE
The converter drainback check valve is located in
the cooler outlet (pressure) line near the radiator
tank. The valve prevents fluid drainback when the
vehicle is parked for lengthy periods. The valve check
ball is spring loaded and has an opening pressure of
approximately 2 psi.

TORQUE CONVERTER DRAINBACK VALVE (Continued)
The valve is serviced as an assembly; it is not
repairable. Do not clean the valve if restricted, or
contaminated by sludge, or debris. If the valve fails,
or if a transmission malfunction occurs that generates significant amounts of sludge and/or clutch particles and metal shavings, the valve must be
replaced.
The valve must be removed whenever the cooler
and lines are reverse flushed. The valve can be flow
tested when necessary. The procedure is exactly the
same as for flow testing a cooler.
If the valve is restricted, installed backwards, or in
the wrong line, it will cause an overheating condition
and possible transmission failure.
CAUTION: The drainback valve is a one-way flow
device. It must be properly oriented in terms of flow
direction for the cooler to function properly. The
valve must be installed in the pressure line. Otherwise flow will be blocked and would cause an overheating condition and eventual transmission failure.

TRANSMISSION
TEMPERATURE SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
Transmission fluid temperature readings are supplied to the transmission control module by the thermistor (Fig. 246). The temperature readings are used
to control engagement of the fourth gear overdrive
clutch, the converter clutch, and governor pressure.
Normal resistance value for the thermistor at room
temperature is approximately 2000 ohms.
The thermistor is part of the governor pressure
sensor assembly and is immersed in transmission
fluid at all times.

OPERATION
The PCM prevents engagement of the converter
clutch and overdrive clutch, when fluid temperature
is below approximately 10°C (50°F).
If fluid temperature exceeds 126°C (260°F), the
PCM causes a 4-3 downshift and engage the converter clutch. Engagement is according to the third
gear converter clutch engagement schedule.
The overdrive OFF lamp in the instrument panel
illuminates when the shift back to third occurs. The
transmission will not allow fourth gear operation
until fluid temperature decreases to approximately
110°C (230°F).

VALVE BODY (Continued)

REGULATOR VALVE
The pressure regulator valve is needed to control
the hydraulic pressure within the system and reduce
the amount of heat produced in the fluid. The pressure regulator valve is located in the valve body near
the manual valve. The pressure regulator valve train
controls the maximum pressure in the lines by
metering the dumping of fluid back into the sump.
Regulated pressure is referred to as “line pressure.”
The regulator valve (Fig. 251) has a spring on one
end that pushes the valve to the left. This closes a
dump (vent) that is used to lower pressure. The closing of the dump will cause the oil pressure to
increase. Oil pressure on the opposite end of the
valve pushes the valve to the right, opening the
dump and lowering oil pressure. The result is spring
pressure working against oil pressure to maintain
the oil at specific pressures. With the engine running, fluid flows from the pump to the pressure regulator valve, manual valve, and the interconnected
circuits. As fluid is sent through passages to the regulator valve, the pressure pushes the valve to the
right against the large spring. It is also sent to the
reaction areas on the left side of the throttle pressure
plug and the line pressure plug. With the gear selector in the PARK position, fluid recirculates through
the regulator and manual valves back to the sump.

Meanwhile, the torque converter is filled slowly. In
all other gear positions (Fig. 252), fluid flows
between two right side lands to the switch valve and
torque converter. At low pump speeds, the flow is
controlled by the pressure valve groove to reduce
pressure to the torque converter. After the torque
converter and switch valve fill with fluid, the switch
valve becomes the controlling metering device for
torque converter pressure. The regulator valve then
begins to control the line pressure for the other
transmission circuits. The balance of the fluid pressure pushing the valve to the right and the spring
pressure pushing to the left determines the size of
the metering passage at land #2 (land #1 being at
the far right of the valve in the diagram). As fluid
leaks past the land, it moves into a groove connected
to the filter or sump. As the land meters the fluid to
the sump, it causes the pressure to reduce and the
spring decreases the size of the metering passage.
When the size of the metering passage is reduced,
the pressure rises again and the size of the land is
increased again. Pressure is regulated by this constant balance of hydraulic and spring pressure.

Fig. 251 Regulator Valve in PARK Position

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - 46RE

BR/BE

21 - 225

VALVE BODY (Continued)

Fig. 252 Regulator Valve in NEUTRAL Position
The metering at land #2 establishes the line pressure throughout the transmission. It is varied according to changes in throttle position and the
transmission’s internal condition within a range of
57-94 psi (except in REVERSE) (Fig. 253). The regulated line pressure in REVERSE (Fig. 254) is held at
much higher pressures than in the other gear positions: 145-280 psi. The higher pressure for
REVERSE is achieved by the manual valve blocking
the supply of line pressure to the reaction area left of
land #4. With this pressure blocked, there is less
area for pressure to act on to balance the force of the
spring on the right. This allows line pressure to push
the valve train to the right, reducing the amount of
fluid returned to the pump’s inlet, increasing line
pressure.

KICKDOWN VALVE
When the throttle valve is as far over to the left as
it can go, the maximum line pressure possible will
enter the throttle pressure circuit. In this case, throttle pressure will equal line pressure. With the kickdown valve (Fig. 255) pushed into the bore as far as
it will go, fluid initially flows through the annular
groove of the 2-3 shift valve (which will be in the
direct drive position to the right).
After passing the annular groove, the fluid is
routed to the spring end of the 2-3 shift valve. Fluid
pressure reacting on the area of land #1 overcomes
governor pressure, downshifting the 2-3 shift valve
into the kickdown, or second gear stage of operation.
The valve is held in the kickdown position by throttle
pressure routed from a seated check ball (#2). Again,
if vehicle speed is low enough, throttle pressure will
also push the 1-2 shift valve left to seat its governor
plug, and downshift to drive breakaway.

KICKDOWN LIMIT VALVE

1-2 SHIFT VALVE

The purpose of the limit valve is to prevent a 3-2
downshift at higher speeds when a part-throttle
downshift is not desirable. At these higher speeds
only a full throttle 3-2 downshift will occur. At low
road speeds (Fig. 256) the limit valve does not come
into play and does not affect the downshifts. As the
vehicle’s speed increases (Fig. 257), the governor
pressure also increases. The increased governor pressure acts on the reaction area of the bottom land of
the limit valve overcoming the spring force trying to
push the valve toward the bottom of its bore. This
pushes the valve upward against the spring and bottoms the valve against the top of the housing. With
the valve bottomed against the housing, the throttle
pressure supplied to the valve will be closed off by
the bottom land of the limit valve. When the supply
of throttle pressure has been shut off, the 3-2 part
throttle downshift plug becomes inoperative, because
no pressure is acting on its reaction area.

The 1-2 shift valve assembly (Fig. 258), or mechanism, consists of: the 1-2 shift valve, governor plug,
and a spring on the end of the valve. After the manual valve has been placed into a forward gear range,
line pressure is directed to the 1-2 shift valve. As the
throttle is depressed, throttle pressure is applied to
the right side of the 1-2 shift valve assembly. With
throttle pressure applied to the right side of the
valve, there is now both spring pressure and throttle
pressure acting on the valve, holding it against the
governor plug. As the vehicle begins to move and
build speed, governor pressure is created and is
applied to the left of the valve at the governor plug.
When governor pressure builds to a point where it
can overcome the combined force of the spring and
throttle pressure on the other side of the valve, the
valve will begin to move over to the right. As the
valve moves to the right, the middle land of the valve
will close off the circuit supplying the throttle pressure to the right side of the valve. When the throttle

pressure is closed off, the valve will move even farther to the right, allowing line pressure to enter
another circuit and energize the front servo, applying
the front band (Fig. 259).

The governor plug serves a dual purpose:
• It allows the shift valves to move either left or
right, allowing both upshifts and downshifts.

• When in a manual selection position, it will be

The physical blocking of the upshift while in the

of line pressure between both lands of the governor
plug. The line pressure reacts against the larger land
of the plug, pushing the plug back against the end
plate overcoming governor pressure. With the combination of the line pressure and spring pressure, the
valve cannot move, preventing any upshift.

1-2 SHIFT CONTROL VALVE
It contains a valve with four lands and a spring. It
is used as both a “relay” and “balanced” valve.
The valve has two specific operations (Fig. 260):
• Aid in quality of the 1-2 upshift.
• Aid in the quality and timing of the 3-2 kickdown ranges.
When the manual valve is set to the DRIVE position and the transmission is in the first or second
gear range, 1-2 shift control or “modulated throttle
pressure” is supplied to the middle of the accumulator piston by the 1-2 shift control valve. During the
1-2 upshift, this pressure is used to control the kickdown servo apply pressure that is needed to apply
the kickdown and accumulator pistons. Thus, the 1-2
shift point is “cushioned” and the quality is
improved. During a WOT kickdown, kickdown pressure is applied between the kickdown valve and the
1-2 shift control valve. This additional pressure is
directed to the 1-2 shift control’s spring cavity, adding to the spring load on the valve. The result of this
increased “modulated” throttle pressure is a firmer
WOT upshift.

2-3 SHIFT VALVE
The 2-3 shift valve mechanism (Fig. 261) consists
of the 2-3 shift valve, governor plug and spring, and

a throttle plug. After the 1-2 shift valve has completed its operation and applied the front band, line
pressure is directed to the 2-3 shift valve through the
connecting passages from the 1-2 shift valve. The line
pressure will then dead–end at land #2 until the 2-3
valve is ready to make its shift. Now that the vehicle
is in motion and under acceleration, there is throttle
pressure being applied to the spring side of the valve
and between lands #3 and #4.
As vehicle speed increases, governor pressure
increases proportionately, until it becomes great
enough to overcome the combined throttle and spring
pressure on the right side of the valve. Since the
throttle pressure end of the 2-3 shift valve is larger
in diameter than the 1-2 shift valve, the 2-3 shift will
always happen at a greater speed than the 1-2 shift.
When this happens, the governor plug is forced
against the shift valve moving it to the right. The
shift valve causes land #4 to close the passage supplying throttle pressure to the 2-3 shift valve. Without throttle pressure present in the circuit now, the
governor plug will push the valve over far enough to
bottom the valve in its bore. This allows land #2 to
direct line pressure to the front clutch.
After the shift (Fig. 262), line pressure is directed
to the land between the shift valve and the governor
plug, and to the release side of the kickdown servo.
This releases the front band and applies the front
clutch, shifting into third gear or direct drive. The
rear clutch remains applied, as it has been in the
other gears. During a manual “1” or manual “2” gear
selection, line pressure is sent between the two lands
of the 2-3 governor plug. This line pressure at the
governor plug locks the shift valve into the second
gear position, preventing an upshift into direct drive.
The theory for the blocking of the valve is the same
as that of the 1-2 shift valve.

3-4 SHIFT VALVE
The PCM energizes the overdrive solenoid during the
3-4 upshift (Fig. 263). This causes the solenoid check
ball to close the vent port allowing line pressure from
the 2-3 shift valve to act directly on the 3-4 upshift

valve. Line pressure on the 3-4 shift valve overcomes
valve spring pressure moving the valve to the upshift
position (Fig. 264). This action exposes the feed passages to the 3-4 timing valve, 3-4 quick fill valve, 3-4
accumulator, and ultimately to the overdrive piston.

3-4 TIMING VALVE
The 3-4 timing valve is moved by line pressure
coming through the 3-4 shift valve (Fig. 264). After
the shift, the timing valve holds the 2-3 shift valve in
an upshift position. The purpose is to prevent the 2-3
valve from downshifting before the 3-4 valve (Fig.
263).

3-4 QUICK FILL VALVE
The 3-4 quick fill valve provides faster engagement
of the overdrive clutch during 3-4 upshifts. The valve
temporarily bypasses the clutch piston feed orifice at
the start of a 3-4 upshift (Fig. 263). This exposes a
larger passage into the piston retainer resulting in a
much faster clutch fill and apply sequence. The quick
fill valve does not bypass the regular clutch feed orifice throughout the 3-4 upshift. Instead, once a predetermined pressure develops within the clutch, the
valve closes the bypass (Fig. 264). Clutch fill is then
completed through the regular feed orifice.

THROTTLE VALVE
In all gear positions the throttle valve (Fig. 265) is
being supplied with line pressure. The throttle valve
meters and reduces the line pressure that now
becomes throttle pressure. The throttle valve is
moved by a spring and the kickdown valve, which is
mechanically connected to the throttle. The larger
the throttle opening, the higher the throttle pressure
(to a maximum of line pressure). The smaller the

throttle opening, the lower the throttle pressure (to a
minimum of zero at idle). As engine speed increases,
the increase in pump speed increases pump output.
The increase in pressure and volume must be regulated to maintain the balance within the transmission. To do this, throttle pressure is routed to the
reaction area on the right side of the throttle pressure plug (in the regulator valve).
The higher engine speed and line pressure would
open the vent too far and reduce line pressure too
much. Throttle pressure, which increases with engine
speed (throttle opening), is used to oppose the movement of the pressure valve to help control the metering passage at the vent. The throttle pressure is
combined with spring pressure to reduce the force of
the throttle pressure plug on the pressure valve. The
larger spring at the right closes the regulator valve
passage and maintains or increases line pressure.
The increased line pressure works against the reaction area of the line pressure plug and the reaction
area left of land #3 simultaneously moves the regulator valve train to the right and controls the metering passage.
The kickdown valve, along with the throttle valve,
serve to delay upshifts until the correct vehicle speed
has been reached. It also controls downshifts upon
driver demand, or increased engine load. If these
valves were not in place, the shift points would be at
the same speed for all throttle positions. The kickdown valve is actuated by a cam connected to the

Fig. 265 Throttle Valve

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - 46RE

BR/BE

21 - 233

VALVE BODY (Continued)
throttle. This is accomplished through either a linkage
or a cable. The cam forces the kickdown valve toward
the throttle valve compressing the spring between
them and moving the throttle valve. As the throttle
valve land starts to uncover its port, line pressure is
“metered” out into the circuits and viewed as throttle
pressure. This increased throttle pressure is metered
out into the circuits it is applied to: the 1-2 and 2-3
shift valves. When the throttle pressure is high
enough, a 3-2 downshift will occur. If the vehicle speed
is low enough, a 2-1 downshift will occur.

SWITCH VALVE
When the transmission is in Drive Second before
the TCC application occurs (Fig. 266), the pressure
regulator valve is supplying torque converter pressure
to the switch valve. The switch valve directs this pressure through the transmission input shaft, into the
converter, through the converter, back out between the
input shaft and the reaction shaft, and back up to the
switch valve. From the switch valve, the fluid pressure is directed to the transmission cooler, and lubrication pressure returns from the cooler to lubricate
different portions of the transmission.

Fig. 266 Switch Valve-Torque Converter Unlocked

21 - 234

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - 46RE

BR/BE

VALVE BODY (Continued)
Once the TCC control valve has moved to the right
(Fig. 267), line pressure is directed to the tip of the
switch valve, forcing the valve to the right. The
switch valve now vents oil from the front of the piston in the torque converter, and supplies line pressure to the (rear) apply side of the torque converter
piston. This pressure differential causes the piston to
apply against the friction material, cutting off any
further flow of line pressure oil. After the switch
valve is shuttled right allowing line pressure to
engage the TCC, torque converter pressure is
directed past the switch valve into the transmission
cooler and lubrication circuits.

MANUAL VALVE
The manual valve (Fig. 268) is a relay valve. The
purpose of the manual valve is to direct fluid to the
correct circuit needed for a specific gear or driving
range. The manual valve, as the name implies, is
manually operated by the driver with a lever located
on the side of the valve body. The valve is connected
mechanically by either a cable or linkage to the gearshift mechanism. The valve is held in each of its
positions by a spring-loaded roller or ball that
engages the “roostercomb” of the manual valve lever.

CONVERTER CLUTCH LOCK-UP VALVE

SHUTTLE VALVE

The torque converter clutch (TCC) lock-up valve
controls the back (ON) side of the torque converter
clutch. When the PCM energizes the TCC solenoid to
engage the converter clutch piston, pressure is
applied to the TCC lock-up valve which moves to the
right and applies pressure to the torque converter
clutch.

The assembly is contained in a bore in the valve
body above the shift valves. When the manual valve
is positioned in the Drive range, throttle pressure
acts on the throttle plug of the shuttle valve (Fig.
260) to move it against a spring, increasing the
spring force on the shuttle valve. During a part or
full throttle 1-2 upshift, the throttle plug is bottomed
by throttle pressure, holding the shuttle valve to the
right against governor pressure, and opening a
by–pass circuit. The shuttle valve controls the quality of the kickdown shift by restricting the rate of
fluid discharge from the front clutch and servo
release circuits. During a 3-2 kickdown, fluid discharges through the shuttle by-pass circuit. When
the shuttle valve closes the by-pass circuit, fluid discharge is restricted and controlled for the application
of the front band. During a 2-3 “lift foot” upshift, the
shuttle valve by-passes the restriction to allow full
fluid flow through the by-pass groove for a faster
release of the band.

CONVERTER CLUTCH LOCK-UP TIMING VALVE
The torque converter clutch (TCC) lock-up timing
valve is there to block any 4-3 downshift until the
TCC is completely unlocked and the clutch is disengaged.

solution only. Do not use gasoline, kerosene, or any
type of caustic solution.
Do not immerse any of the electrical components in
cleaning solution. Clean the governor solenoid and
sensor and the dual solenoid and harness assembly
by wiping them off with dry shop towels only.
Dry all except the electrical parts with compressed
air. Make sure all passages are clean and free from
obstructions. Do not use rags or shop towels to
dry or wipe off valve body components. Lint
from these materials can stick to valve body
parts, interfere with valve operation, and clog
filters and fluid passages.
Wipe the governor pressure sensor and solenoid
valve with dry, lint free shop towels only. The O-rings
on the sensor and solenoid valve are the only serviceable components. Be sure the vent ports in the solenoid valve are open and not blocked by dirt or debris.
Replace the valve and/or sensor only when DRB scan
tool diagnosis indicates this is necessary. Or, if either
part has sustained physical damage (dented,
deformed, broken, etc.).
CAUTION: Do not turn the small screw at the end of
the solenoid valve for any reason. Turning the
screw in either direction will ruin solenoid calibration and result in solenoid failure. In addition, the
filter on the solenoid valve is NOT serviceable. Do
not try to remove the filter as this will damage the
valve housing.

heavily scored, the valve body will have to be
replaced.
CAUTION: Many of the valves and plugs, such as
the throttle valve, shuttle valve plug, 1-2 shift valve
and 1-2 governor plug, are made of coated aluminum. Aluminum components are identified by the
dark color of the special coating applied to the surface (or by testing with a magnet). Do not sand aluminum valves or plugs under any circumstances.

transfer plate check balls as well. The check balls
and ball seats must not be worn or damaged.
Trial fit each valve and plug in its bore to check
freedom of operation. When clean and dry, the valves
and plugs should drop freely into the bores.
Valve body bores do not change dimensionally with
use. If the valve body functioned correctly when new,
it will continue to operate properly after cleaning and
inspection. It should not be necessary to replace a
valve body assembly unless it is damaged in handling.
The only serviceable valve body components are
listed below. The remaining valve body components
are serviced only as part of a complete valve body
assembly. Serviceable parts are:

There are two control pressure adjustments on the
valve body;
• Line Pressure
• Throttle Pressure
Line and throttle pressures are interdependent
because each affects shift quality and timing. As a
result, both adjustments must be performed properly
and in the correct sequence. Adjust line pressure first
and throttle pressure last.
LINE PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT
Measure distance from the valve body to the inner
edge of the adjusting screw with an accurate steel
scale (Fig. 326).
Distance should be 33.4 mm (1-5/16 in.).
If adjustment is required, turn the adjusting screw
in, or out, to obtain required distance setting.

NOTE: The 33.4 mm (1-5/16 in.) setting is an
approximate setting. Manufacturing tolerances may
make it necessary to vary from this dimension to
obtain desired pressure.

One complete turn of the adjusting screw changes
line pressure approximately 1-2/3 psi (9 kPa).
Turning the adjusting screw counterclockwise
increases pressure while turning the screw clockwise
decreases pressure.

THROTTLE PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT
Insert Gauge Tool C-3763 between the throttle
lever cam and the kickdown valve stem (Fig. 327).
Push the gauge tool inward to compress the kickdown valve against the spring and bottom the throttle valve.
Maintain pressure against kickdown valve spring.
Turn throttle lever stop screw until the screw head
touches throttle lever tang and the throttle lever cam
touches gauge tool.
NOTE: The kickdown valve spring must be fully
compressed and the kickdown valve completely
bottomed to obtain correct adjustment.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION 47RE
DESCRIPTION
The 47RE (Fig. 1) is a four speed fully automatic
transmissions with an electronic governor. The 47RE
is equipped with a lock-up clutch in the torque converter. First through third gear ranges are provided
by the clutches, bands, overrunning clutch, and planetary gear sets in the transmission. Fourth gear
range is provided by the overdrive unit that contains
an overdrive clutch, direct clutch, planetary gear set,
and overrunning clutch.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - 47RE

21 - 261

The transmission contains a front, rear, and direct
clutch which function as the input driving components. It also contains the kickdown (front) and the
low/reverse (rear) bands which, along with the overrunning clutch and overdrive clutch, serve as the
holding components. The driving and holding components combine to select the necessary planetary gear
components, in the front, rear, or overdrive planetary
gear set, transfer the engine power from the input
shaft through to the output shaft.
The valve body is mounted to the lower side of the
transmission and contains the valves to control pressure regulation, fluid flow control, and clutch/band
application. The oil pump is mounted at the front of
the transmission and is driven by the torque converter hub. The pump supplies the oil pressure necessary for clutch/band actuation and transmission
lubrication.

IDENTIFICATION

OPERATION

Transmission identification numbers are stamped
on the left side of the case just above the oil pan gasket surface (Fig. 2). Refer to this information when
ordering replacement parts.

The application of each driving or holding component is controlled by the valve body based upon the
manual lever position, throttle pressure, and governor pressure. The governor pressure is a variable
pressure input to the valve body and is one of the
signals that a shift is necessary. First through fourth
gear are obtained by selectively applying and releasing the different clutches and bands. Engine power is
thereby routed to the various planetary gear assemblies which combine with the overrunning clutch
assemblies to generate the different gear ratios. The
torque converter clutch is hydraulically applied and
is released when fluid is vented from the hydraulic
circuit by the torque converter control (TCC) solenoid
on the valve body. The torque converter clutch is controlled by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The
torque converter clutch engages in fourth gear, and
in third gear under various conditions, such as when
the O/D switch is OFF, when the vehicle is cruising
on a level surface after the vehicle has warmed up.
The torque converter clutch will disengage momentarily when an increase in engine load is sensed by
the PCM, such as when the vehicle begins to go
uphill or the throttle pressure is increased. The
torque converter clutch feature increases fuel economy and reduces the transmission fluid temperature.
Since the overdrive clutch is applied in fourth gear
only and the direct clutch is applied in all ranges
except fourth gear, the transmission operation for
park, neutral, and first through third gear will be
described first. Once these powerflows are described,
the third to fourth shift sequence will be described.

PARK POWERFLOW
As the engine is running and the crankshaft is
rotating, the flexplate and torque converter, which
are also bolted to it, are all rotating in a clockwise
direction as viewed from the front of the engine. The
notched hub of the torque converter is connected to
the oil pump’s internal gear, supplying the transmission with oil pressure. As the converter turns, it
turns the input shaft in a clockwise direction. As the
input shaft is rotating, the front clutch hub-rear
clutch retainer and all their associated parts are also
rotating, all being directly connected to the input
shaft. The power flow from the engine through the
front clutch hub and rear clutch retainer stops at the
rear clutch retainer. Therefore, no power flow to the
output shaft occurs because no clutches are applied.
The only mechanism in use at this time is the parking sprag (Fig. 3), which locks the parking gear on
the output shaft to the transmission case.

NEUTRAL POWERFLOW
With the gear selector in the NEUTRAL position
(Fig. 4), the power flow of the transmission is essentially the same as in the park position. The only
operational difference is that the parking sprag has
been disengaged, unlocking the output shaft from the
transmission case and allowing it to move freely.

When the gear selector is moved into the
REVERSE position (Fig. 5), the front clutch and the
rear band are applied. With the application of the
front clutch, engine torque is applied to the sun gear,
turning it in a clockwise direction. The clockwise
rotation of the sun gear causes the rear planet pinions to rotate against engine rotation in a counterclockwise direction. The rear band is holding the low
reverse drum, which is splined to the rear carrier.
Since the rear carrier is being held, the torque from
the planet pinions is transferred to the rear annulus
gear, which is splined to the output shaft. The output
shaft in turn rotates with the annulus gear in a
counterclockwise direction giving a reverse gear output. The entire transmission of torque is applied to
the rear planetary gearset only. Although there is
torque input to the front gearset through the sun
gear, no other member of the gearset is being held.
During the entire reverse stage of operation, the
front planetary gears are in an idling condition.

FIRST GEAR POWERFLOW
When the gearshift lever is moved into the DRIVE
position the transmission goes into first gear (Fig. 6).
As soon as the transmission is shifted from PARK or
NEUTRAL to DRIVE, the rear clutch applies, applying the rear clutch pack to the front annulus gear.
Engine torque is now applied to the front annulus
gear turning it in a clockwise direction. With the
front annulus gear turning in a clockwise direction, it
causes the front planets to turn in a clockwise direction. The rotation of the front planets cause the sun
to revolve in a counterclockwise direction. The sun
gear now transfers its counterclockwise rotation to

the rear planets which rotate back in a clockwise
direction. With the rear annulus gear stationary, the
rear planet rotation on the annulus gear causes the
rear planet carrier to revolve in a counterclockwise
direction. The rear planet carrier is splined into the
low-reverse drum, and the low reverse drum is
splined to the inner race of the over-running clutch.
With the over-running clutch locked, the planet carrier is held, and the resulting torque provided by the
planet pinions is transferred to the rear annulus
gear. The rear annulus gear is splined to the output
shaft and rotated along with it (clockwise) in an
underdrive gear reduction mode.

SECOND GEAR POWERFLOW
In DRIVE-SECOND (Fig. 7), the same elements
are applied as in MANUAL-SECOND. Therefore, the
power flow will be the same, and both gears will be
discussed as one in the same. In DRIVE-SECOND,
the transmission has proceeded from first gear to its
shift point, and is shifting from first gear to second.
The second gear shift is obtained by keeping the rear
clutch applied and applying the front (kickdown)
band. The front band holds the front clutch retainer
that is locked to the sun gear driving shell. With the
rear clutch still applied, the input is still on the front
annulus gear turning it clockwise at engine speed.

Now that the front band is holding the sun gear stationary, the annulus rotation causes the front planets
to rotate in a clockwise direction. The front carrier is
then also made to rotate in a clockwise direction but
at a reduced speed. This will transmit the torque to
the output shaft, which is directly connected to the
front planet carrier. The rear planetary annulus gear
will also be turning because it is directly splined to
the output shaft. All power flow has occurred in the
front planetary gear set during the drive-second
stage of operation, and now the over-running clutch,
in the rear of the transmission, is disengaged and
freewheeling on its hub.

DIRECT DRIVE POWERFLOW
The vehicle has accelerated and reached the shift
point for the 2-3 upshift into direct drive (Fig. 8).
When the shift takes place, the front band is
released, and the front clutch is applied. The rear
clutch stays applied as it has been in all the forward
gears. With the front clutch now applied, engine
torque is now on the front clutch retainer, which is
locked to the sun gear driving shell. This means that
the sun gear is now turning in engine rotation (clockwise) and at engine speed. The rear clutch is still
applied so engine torque is also still on the front

annulus gear. If two members of the same planetary
set are driven, direct drive results. Therefore, when
two members are rotating at the same speed and in
the same direction, it is the same as being locked up.
The rear planetary set is also locked up, given the
sun gear is still the input, and the rear annulus gear
must turn with the output shaft. Both gears are
turning in the same direction and at the same speed.
The front and rear planet pinions do not turn at all
in direct drive. The only rotation is the input from
the engine to the connected parts, which are acting
as one common unit, to the output shaft.

FOURTH GEAR POWERFLOW
Fourth gear overdrive range is electronically controlled and hydraulically activated. Various sensor
inputs are supplied to the powertrain control module
to operate the overdrive solenoid on the valve body.
The solenoid contains a check ball that opens and
closes a vent port in the 3-4 shift valve feed passage.
The overdrive solenoid (and check ball) are not energized in first, second, third, or reverse gear. The vent
port remains open, diverting line pressure from the
2-3 shift valve away from the 3-4 shift valve. The
overdrive control switch must be in the ON position
to transmit overdrive status to the PCM. A 3-4
upshift occurs only when the overdrive solenoid is
energized by the PCM. The PCM energizes the overdrive solenoid during the 3-4 upshift. This causes the
solenoid check ball to close the vent port allowing
line pressure from the 2-3 shift valve to act directly
on the 3-4 upshift valve. Line pressure on the 3-4
shift valve overcomes valve spring pressure moving
the valve to the upshift position. This action exposes
the feed passages to the 3-4 timing valve, 3-4 quick
fill valve, 3-4 accumulator, and ultimately to the
overdrive piston. Line pressure through the timing

valve moves the overdrive piston into contact with
the overdrive clutch. The direct clutch is disengaged
before the overdrive clutch is engaged. The boost
valve provides increased fluid apply pressure to the
overdrive clutch during 3-4 upshifts, and when accelerating in fourth gear. The 3-4 accumulator cushions
overdrive clutch engagement to smooth 3-4 upshifts.
The accumulator is charged at the same time as
apply pressure acts against the overdrive piston.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION
Automatic transmission problems can be a result of
poor engine performance, incorrect fluid level, incorrect linkage or cable adjustment, band or hydraulic
control pressure adjustments, hydraulic system malfunctions or electrical/mechanical component malfunctions. Begin diagnosis by checking the easily
accessible items such as: fluid level and condition,
linkage adjustments and electrical connections. A road
test will determine if further diagnosis is necessary.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - PRELIMINARY

(b) If propeller shaft does not turn and transmission is noisy, stop engine. Remove oil pan, and
check for debris. If pan is clear, remove transmission and check for damaged drive plate, converter,
oil pump, or input shaft.
(c) If propeller shaft does not turn and transmission is not noisy, perform hydraulic-pressure test to
determine if problem is hydraulic or mechanical.

Two basic procedures are required. One procedure
for vehicles that are drivable and an alternate procedure for disabled vehicles (will not back up or move
forward).

VEHICLE IS DRIVEABLE
(1) Check for transmission fault codes using DRBt
scan tool.
(2) Check fluid level and condition.
(3) Adjust throttle and gearshift linkage if complaint was based on delayed, erratic, or harsh shifts.
(4) Road test and note how transmission upshifts,
downshifts, and engages.
(5) Perform hydraulic pressure test if shift problems were noted during road test.
(6) Perform air-pressure test to check clutch-band
operation.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - ROAD TESTING
Before road testing, be sure the fluid level and control cable adjustments have been checked and
adjusted if necessary. Verify that diagnostic trouble
codes have been resolved.
Observe engine performance during the road test.
A poorly tuned engine will not allow accurate analysis of transmission operation.
Operate the transmission in all gear ranges. Check
for shift variations and engine flare which indicates
slippage. Note if shifts are harsh, spongy, delayed,
early, or if part throttle downshifts are sensitive.
Slippage indicated by engine flare, usually means
clutch, band or overrunning clutch problems. If the
condition is advanced, an overhaul will be necessary
to restore normal operation.
A slipping clutch or band can often be determined
by comparing which internal units are applied in the
various gear ranges. The Clutch and Band Application chart provides a basis for analyzing road test
results.

VEHICLE IS DISABLED
(1) Check fluid level and condition.
(2) Check for broken or disconnected gearshift or
throttle linkage.
(3) Check for cracked, leaking cooler lines, or loose
or missing pressure-port plugs.
(4) Raise and support vehicle on safety stands,
start engine, shift transmission into gear, and note
following:
(a) If propeller shaft turns but wheels do not,
problem is with differential or axle shafts.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - 47RE (Continued)
Note that the rear clutch is applied in all forward
ranges (D, 2, 1). The transmission overrunning clutch
is applied in first gear (D, 2 and 1 ranges) only. The
rear band is applied in 1 and R range only.
Note that the overdrive clutch is applied only in
fourth gear and the overdrive direct clutch and overrunning clutch are applied in all ranges except fourth
gear.
For example: If slippage occurs in first gear in D
and 2 range but not in 1 range, the transmission
overrunning clutch is faulty. Similarly, if slippage
occurs in any two forward gears, the rear clutch is
slipping.
Applying the same method of analysis, note that
the front and rear clutches are applied simultaneously only in D range third and fourth gear. If the
transmission slips in third gear, either the front
clutch or the rear clutch is slipping.
If the transmission slips in fourth gear but not in
third gear, the overdrive clutch is slipping. By selecting another gear which does not use these clutches,
the slipping unit can be determined. For example, if
the transmission also slips in Reverse, the front
clutch is slipping. If the transmission does not slip in
Reverse, the rear clutch is slipping.
If slippage occurs during the 3-4 shift or only in
fourth gear, the overdrive clutch is slipping. Similarly, if the direct clutch were to fail, the transmission would lose both reverse gear and overrun
braking in 2 position (manual second gear).
If the transmission will not shift to fourth gear, the
control switch, overdrive solenoid or related wiring
may also be the problem cause.
This process of elimination can be used to identify
a slipping unit and check operation. Proper use of
the Clutch and Band Application Chart is the key.
Although road test analysis will help determine the
slipping unit, the actual cause of a malfunction usually cannot be determined until hydraulic and air
pressure tests are performed. Practically any condition can be caused by leaking hydraulic circuits or
sticking valves.
Unless a malfunction is obvious, such as no drive
in D range first gear, do not disassemble the transmission. Perform the hydraulic and air pressure tests
to help determine the probable cause.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - HYDRAULIC
PRESSURE TEST
Hydraulic test pressures range from a low of one
psi (6.895 kPa) governor pressure, to 300 psi (2068
kPa) at the rear servo pressure port in reverse.
An accurate tachometer and pressure test gauges
are required. Test Gauge C-3292 has a 100 psi range
and is used at the accumulator, governor, and front
servo ports. Test Gauge C-3293-SP has a 300 psi

range and is used at the rear servo and overdrive
ports where pressures exceed 100 psi.

Pressure Test Port Locations
Test ports are located at both sides of the transmission case (Fig. 9).
Line pressure is checked at the accumulator port
on the right side of the case. The front servo pressure
port is at the right side of the case just behind the
filler tube opening.
The rear servo and governor pressure ports are at
the right rear of the transmission case. The overdrive
clutch pressure port is at the left rear of the case.

from full forward to full rearward position and note
pressures on both gauges:
• Line pressure at accumulator port should be
54-60 psi (372-414 kPa) with throttle lever forward
and gradually increase to 90-96 psi (621-662 kPa) as
throttle lever is moved rearward.
• Rear servo pressure should be same as line pressure within 3 psi (20.68 kPa).
Test Two - Transmission In 2 Range
This test checks pump output, line pressure and
pressure regulation. Use 100 psi Test Gauge C-3292
for this test.
(1) Leave vehicle in place on hoist and leave Test
Gauge C-3292 connected to accumulator port.
(2) Have helper start and run engine at 1000 rpm.

(6) Read pressures on both gauges as transmission
throttle lever is gradually moved from full forward to
full rearward position:
• Line pressure at accumulator in D range third
gear, should be 54-60 psi (372-414 kPa) with throttle
lever forward and increase as lever is moved rearward.

• Front servo pressure in D range third gear,
should be within 3 psi (21 kPa) of line pressure up to
kickdown point.
Test Four - Transmission In Reverse
This test checks pump output, pressure regulation
and the front clutch and rear servo circuits. Use 300
psi Test Gauge C-3293-SP for this test.

Test Five - Governor Pressure
This test checks governor operation by measuring
governor pressure response to changes in vehicle
speed. It is usually not necessary to check governor
operation unless shift speeds are incorrect or if the
transmission will not downshift. The test should be
performed on the road or on a hoist that will allow
the rear wheels to rotate freely.
(1) Move 100 psi Test Gauge C-3292 to governor
pressure port.
(2) Move transmission shift lever two detents rearward from full forward position. This is D range.
(3) Have helper start and run engine at curb idle
speed. Then firmly apply service brakes so wheels
will not rotate.
(4) Note governor pressure:
• Governor pressure should be no more than 20.6
kPa (3 psi) at curb idle speed and wheels not rotating.
• If pressure exceeds 20.6 kPa (3 psi), a fault
exists in governor pressure control system.
(5) Release brakes, slowly increase engine speed,
and observe speedometer and pressure test gauge (do
not exceed 30 mph on speedometer). Governor pressure should increase in proportion to vehicle speed.
Or approximately 6.89 kPa (1 psi) for every 1 mph.

OPERATION
Air-pressure testing can be used to check transmission front/rear clutch and band operation. The test
can be conducted with the transmission either in the
vehicle or on the work bench, as a final check, after
overhaul.
Air-pressure testing requires that the oil pan and
valve body be removed from the transmission. The

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - CONVERTER
HOUSING FLUID LEAK
When diagnosing converter housing fluid leaks,
two items must be established before repair.
(1) Verify that a leak condition actually exists.
(2) Determined the true source of the leak.
Some suspected converter housing fluid leaks may
not be leaks at all. They may only be the result of
residual fluid in the converter housing, or excess
fluid spilled during factory fill or fill after repair.
Converter housing leaks have several potential
sources. Through careful observation, a leak source
can be identified before removing the transmission
for repair. Pump seal leaks tend to move along the
drive hub and onto the rear of the converter. Pump
body leaks follow the same path as a seal leak (Fig.
11). Pump vent or pump attaching bolt leaks are generally deposited on the inside of the converter housing and not on the converter itself (Fig. 11). Pump
o-ring or gasket leaks usually travel down the inside
of the converter housing. Front band lever pin plug
leaks are generally deposited on the housing and not
on the converter.

TORQUE CONVERTER LEAK POINTS
Possible sources of converter leaks are:
(1) Leaks at the weld joint around the outside
diameter weld (Fig. 12).
(2) Leaks at the converter hub weld (Fig. 12).

CONVERTER HOUSING AREA LEAK CORRECTION
(1) Remove converter.
(2) Tighten front band adjusting screw until band
is tight around front clutch retainer. This prevents
front/rear clutches from coming out when oil pump is
removed.
(3) Remove oil pump and remove pump seal.
Inspect pump housing drainback and vent holes for
obstructions. Clear holes with solvent and wire.
(4) Inspect pump bushing and converter hub. If
bushing is scored, replace it. If converter hub is

21 - 274

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - 47RE

BR/BE

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - 47RE (Continued)
scored, either polish it with crocus cloth or replace
converter.
(5) Install new pump seal, O-ring, and gasket.
Replace oil pump if cracked, porous or damaged in
any way. Be sure to loosen the front band before
installing the oil pump, damage to the oil pump seal
may occur if the band is still tightened to the front
clutch retainer.
(6) Loosen kickdown lever pin access plug three
turns. Apply Loctite™ 592, or Permatext No. 2 to
plug threads and tighten plug to 17 N·m (150 in. lbs.)
torque.
(7) Adjust front band.
(8) Lubricate pump seal and converter hub with
transmission fluid or petroleum jelly and install converter.
(9) Install transmission and converter housing
dust shield.

(10) Lower vehicle.

CLEANING
Clean the case in a solvent tank. Flush the case
bores and fluid passages thoroughly with solvent.
Dry the case and all fluid passages with compressed
air. Be sure all solvent is removed from the case and
that all fluid passages are clear.
NOTE: Do not use shop towels or rags to dry the
case (or any other transmission component) unless
they are made from lint-free materials. Lint will stick
to case surfaces and transmission components and
circulate throughout the transmission after assembly. A sufficient quantity of lint can block fluid passages and interfere with valve body operation.
Lubricate transmission parts with Mopart ATF +4,
type 9602, transmission fluid during overhaul and
assembly. Use petroleum jelly, Mopart Door Ease, or
Ru-Glyde™ to prelubricate seals, O-rings, and thrust
washers. Petroleum jelly can also be used to hold
parts in place during reassembly.

TOOL C-4470

Inspect the case for cracks, porous spots, worn
bores, or damaged threads. Damaged threads can be
repaired with Helicoil thread inserts. However, the
case will have to be replaced if it exhibits any type of
damage or wear.
Lubricate the front band adjusting screw threads
with petroleum jelly and thread the screw part-way
into the case. Be sure the screw turns freely.
Inspect the transmission bushings during overhaul.
Bushing condition is important as worn, scored bush-

21 - 294

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - 47RE

BR/BE

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - 47RE (Continued)
ings contribute to low pressures, clutch slip and
accelerated wear of other components. However, do
not replace bushings as a matter of course. Replace
bushings only when they are actually worn, or
scored.
Use recommended tools to replace bushings. The
tools are sized and designed to remove, install, and
seat bushings correctly. The bushing replacement
tools are included in Bushing Tool Set C-3887-B.
Pre-sized service bushings are available for
replacement purposes. Only the sun gear bushings
are not serviced.
The use of crocus cloth is permissible where necessary, providing it is used carefully. When used on
shafts, or valves, use extreme care to avoid rounding
off sharp edges. Sharp edges are vital as they prevent foreign matter from getting between the valve
and valve bore.
Do not reuse oil seals, gaskets, seal rings, or
O-rings during overhaul. Replace these parts as a
matter of course. Also do not reuse snap rings or
E-clips that are bent or distorted. Replace these parts
as well.

ASSEMBLY
Do not allow dirt, grease, or foreign material to
enter the case or transmission components during
assembly. Keep the transmission case and components clean. Also make sure the tools and workbench
area used for reassembly operations are equally
clean.
Shop towels used for wiping off tools and your
hands must be made from lint free materials. Lint
will stick to transmission parts and could interfere
with valve operation or even restrict fluid passages.
Lubricate transmission clutch and gear components with Mopart ATF +4, type 9602, during reassembly. Soak clutch discs in transmission fluid before
installation.
Use Mopart Door Ease, or Ru-Glyde™ on piston
seals and o-rings to ease installation. Petroleum jelly
can also be used to lubricate and hold thrust washers
and plates in position during assembly.
Do not use chassis grease, bearing grease,
white grease, or similar lubricants on any part.
These types of lubricants can eventually block or
restrict fluid passages and valve operation. Use
petroleum jelly only.
Do not force parts into place. The transmission
components and sub-assemblies are easily installed
by hand when properly aligned. If a part seems difficult to install, it is either misaligned or incorrectly
assembled. Verify that thrust washers, thrust plates
and seal rings are correctly positioned.
The planetary geartrain, front/rear clutch assemblies and oil pump are all much easier to install

when the transmission case is upright. Either tilt the
case upward with wood blocks, or cut a hole in the
bench large enough for the intermediate shaft and
rear support. Then lower the shaft and support into
the hole and support the rear of the case directly on
the bench.

FRONT/REAR SERVO
(1) Lubricate rear servo piston seal with Mopart
Door Ease or ATF +4. Lubricate servo bore in case
with ATF +4.
(2) Install rear servo piston in case. Position piston
at slight angle to bore and insert piston with twisting
motion (Fig. 39).
(3) Install rear servo spring and retainer in case
bore (Fig. 40). Be sure spring is seated on piston.
(4) Compress rear servo piston with C-clamp or
Valve Spring Compressor C-3422-B and install servo
piston snap-ring (Fig. 41).
(5) Lubricate front servo piston components and
servo bore in case with transmission fluid.
(6) Install front servo piston in bore. Carefully
“run” small, suitable tool around piston ring to press
it back into groove and ease installation (Fig. 42).
Rotate piston into bore at same time. Rock piston
slightly to ease piston ring past snap-ring groove and
into bore.

ACCUMULATOR
DESCRIPTION

Remover, Reaction Shaft Bushing - SP-5301, From
Kit C-3887-J

The accumulator (Fig. 60) is a hydraulic device
that has the sole purpose of cushioning the application of a band or clutch. The accumulator consists of
a dual-land piston and a spring located in a bore in
the transmission case. The 3-4 accumulator is located
in a housing attached to the side of the valve body
(Fig. 61).

ACCUMULATOR (Continued)

OPERATION
Both the accumulator and the 3-4 accumulator
function the same. Line pressure is directed to the
small end of the piston when the transmission is
placed into a DRIVE position (Fig. 62), bottoming it
against the accumulator plate. When the 1-2 upshift
occurs (Fig. 63), line pressure is directed to the large
end of the piston and then to the kickdown servo. As
the line pressure reaches the accumulator, the combination of spring pressure and line pressure forces
the piston away from the accumulator plate. This
causes a balanced pressure situation, which results
in a cushioned band application. After the kickdown
servo has become immovable, line pressure will finish pushing the accumulator up into its bore. When
the large end of the accumulator piston is seated in
its bore, the band or clutch is fully applied.
NOTE: The accumulator is shown in the inverted
position for illustrative purposes.

INSPECTION
Inspect the accumulator piston and seal rings (Fig.
64). Replace the seal rings if worn or cut. Replace the
piston if chipped or cracked.
Check condition of the accumulator inner and
outer springs (Fig. 64). Replace the springs if the
coils are cracked, distorted or collapsed.

DESCRIPTION
KICKDOWN (FRONT) BAND
The kickdown, or “front”, band (Fig. 65) holds the
common sun gear of the planetary gear sets. The
front (kickdown) band is made of steel, and faced on
its inner circumference with a friction-type lining.
One end of the band is anchored to the transmission

case, and the other is acted on with a pushing force
by a servo piston. The front band is a single-wrap
design (the band does not completely encompass/
wrap the drum that it holds).

Fig. 66 Rear Band

Fig. 65 Front Band
1 - FRONT BAND
2 - TRANSMISSION HOUSING

LOW/REVERSE (REAR) BAND
The low/reverse band, or “rear”, band (Fig. 66) is
similar in appearance and operation to the front
band. The rear band is slightly different in that it
does not use a link bar, but is acted directly on by
the apply lever. This is referred to as a double-wrap
band design (the drum is completely encompassed/
wrapped by the band). The double-wrap band provides a greater holding power in comparison to the
single-wrap design.

OPERATION
KICKDOWN (FRONT) BAND
The kickdown band holds the common sun gear of
the planetary gear sets by applying and holding the
front clutch retainer, which is splined to the sun gear
driving shell, and in turn splined directly to the sun
gear. The application of the band by the servo is typically done by an apply lever and link bar.

LOW/REVERSE (REAR) BAND
The rear band holds the rear planet carrier stationary by being mounted around and applied to the
low/reverse drum.

GOVERNOR PRESSURE SENSOR
The governor pressure sensor measures output
pressure of the governor pressure solenoid valve (Fig.

GOVERNOR BODY AND TRANSFER PLATE
The transfer plate is designed to supply transmission line pressure to the governor pressure solenoid
valve and to return governor pressure.
The governor pressure solenoid valve is mounted in
the governor body. The body is bolted to the lower
side of the transfer plate (Fig. 70).

GOVERNOR PRESSURE CURVES

Fig. 68 Rear Band Adjustment Screw Location
1 - LOW-REVERSE BAND ADJUSTMENT

There are four governor pressure curves programmed into the transmission control module. The
different curves allow the control module to adjust
governor pressure for varying conditions. One curve
is used for operation when fluid temperature is at, or
below, –1°C (30°F). A second curve is used when fluid

temperature is at, or above, 10°C (50°F) during normal city or highway driving. A third curve is used
during wide-open throttle operation. The fourth curve
is used when driving with the transfer case in low
range.

OPERATION
Compensation is required for performance variations of two of the input devices. Though the slope of
the transfer functions is tightly controlled, offset may
vary due to various environmental factors or manufacturing tolerances.
The pressure transducer is affected by barometric
pressure as well as temperature. Calibration of the
zero pressure offset is required to compensate for
shifting output due to these factors.
Normal calibration will be performed when sump
temperature is above 50 degrees F, or in the absence
of sump temperature data, after the first 10 minutes
of vehicle operation. Calibration of the pressure
transducer offset occurs each time the output shaft
speed falls below 200 RPM. Calibration shall be
repeated each 3 seconds the output shaft speed is
below 200 RPM. A 0.5 second pulse of 95% duty cycle
is applied to the governor pressure solenoid valve
and the transducer output is read during this pulse.
Averaging of the transducer signal is necessary to
reject electrical noise.
Under cold conditions (below 50 degrees F sump),
the governor pressure solenoid valve response may
be too slow to guarantee 0 psi during the 0.5 second
calibration pulse. Calibration pulses are continued
during this period, however the transducer output
valves are discarded. Transducer offset must be read
at key-on, under conditions which promote a stable
reading. This value is retained and becomes the offset during the 9cold9 period of operation.

The inlet side of the solenoid valve is exposed to
normal transmission line pressure. The outlet side of
the valve leads to the valve body governor circuit.
The solenoid valve regulates line pressure to produce governor pressure. The average current supplied to the solenoid controls governor pressure. One
amp current produces zero kPa/psi governor pressure. Zero amps sets the maximum governor pressure.
The powertrain control module (PCM) turns on the
trans control relay which supplies electrical power to
the solenoid valve. Operating voltage is 12 volts
(DC). The PCM controls the ground side of the solenoid using the governor pressure solenoid control circuit.

GOVERNOR PRESSURE SENSOR
The sensor output signal provides the necessary
feedback to the PCM. This feedback is needed to adequately control governor pressure.

GOVERNOR BODY AND TRANSFER PLATE
The transfer plate channels line pressure to the
solenoid valve through the governor body. It also
channels governor pressure from the solenoid valve
to the governor circuit. It is the solenoid valve that
develops the necessary governor pressure.

GOVERNOR PRESSURE CURVES
LOW TRANSMISSION FLUID TEMPERATURE
When the transmission fluid is cold the conventional governor can delay shifts, resulting in higher
than normal shift speeds and harsh shifts. The electronically controlled low temperature governor pressure curve is higher than normal to make the
transmission shift at normal speeds and sooner. The
PCM uses a temperature sensor in the transmission
oil sump to determine when low temperature governor pressure is needed.
NORMAL OPERATION
Normal operation is refined through the increased
computing power of the PCM and through access to
data on engine operating conditions provided by the
PCM that were not available with the previous
stand-alone electronic module. This facilitated the
development of a load adaptive shift strategy - the
ability to alter the shift schedule in response to vehicle load condition. One manifestation of this capability is grade 9hunting9 prevention - the ability of the
transmission logic to delay an upshift on a grade if
the engine does not have sufficient power to maintain speed in the higher gear. The 3-2 downshift and
the potential for hunting between gears occurs with a

21 - 324

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - 47RE

BR/BE

ELECTRONIC GOVERNOR (Continued)
heavily loaded vehicle or on steep grades. When
hunting occurs, it is very objectionable because shifts
are frequent and accompanied by large changes in
noise and acceleration.
WIDE OPEN THROTTLE OPERATION
In wide-open throttle (WOT) mode, adaptive memory in the PCM assures that up-shifts occur at the
preprogrammed optimum speed. WOT operation is
determined from the throttle position sensor, which
is also a part of the emission control system. The initial setting for the WOT upshift is below the optimum engine speed. As WOT shifts are repeated, the
PCM learns the time required to complete the shifts
by comparing the engine speed when the shifts occur
to the optimum speed. After each shift, the PCM
adjusts the shift point until the optimum speed is
reached. The PCM also considers vehicle loading,
grade and engine performance changes due to high
altitude in determining when to make WOT shifts. It
does this by measuring vehicle and engine acceleration and then factoring in the shift time.

TRANSFER CASE LOW RANGE OPERATION
On four-wheel drive vehicles operating in low
range, the engine can accelerate to its peak more
rapidly than in Normal range, resulting in delayed
shifts and undesirable engine 9flare.9 The low range
governor pressure curve is also higher than normal
to initiate upshifts sooner. The PCM compares electronic vehicle speed signal used by the speedometer
to the transmission output shaft speed signal to
determine when the transfer case is in low range.

FLUID AND FILTER
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - EFFECTS OF
INCORRECT FLUID LEVEL
A low fluid level allows the pump to take in air
along with the fluid. Air in the fluid will cause fluid
pressures to be low and develop slower than normal.
If the transmission is overfilled, the gears churn the
fluid into foam. This aerates the fluid and causing
the same conditions occurring with a low level. In
either case, air bubbles cause fluid overheating, oxidation and varnish buildup which interferes with
valve and clutch operation. Foaming also causes fluid

Burnt, discolored fluid is a result of overheating
which has two primary causes.
(1) A result of restricted fluid flow through the
main and/or auxiliary cooler. This condition is usually the result of a faulty or improperly installed
drainback valve, a damaged main cooler, or severe
restrictions in the coolers and lines caused by debris
or kinked lines.
(2) Heavy duty operation with a vehicle not properly equipped for this type of operation. Trailer towing or similar high load operation will overheat the
transmission fluid if the vehicle is improperly
equipped. Such vehicles should have an auxiliary
transmission fluid cooler, a heavy duty cooling system, and the engine/axle ratio combination needed to
handle heavy loads.

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

21 - 328

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - 47RE

BR/BE

FLUID AND FILTER (Continued)
sludge and/or debris. The torque converter should
also be replaced at the same time.
Failure to flush the cooler and lines will result in
recontamination. Flushing applies to auxiliary coolers as well. The torque converter should also be
replaced whenever a failure generates sludge and
debris. This is necessary because normal converter
flushing procedures will not remove all contaminants.

STANDARD PROCEDURE
STANDARD PROCEDURE - FLUID LEVEL
CHECK
Low fluid level can cause a variety of conditions
because it allows the pump to take in air along with
the fluid. As in any hydraulic system, air bubbles
make the fluid spongy, therefore, pressures will be
low and build up slowly.
Improper filling can also raise the fluid level too
high. When the transmssion has too much fluid, the
geartrain churns up foam and cause the same conditions which occur with a low fluid level.
In either case, air bubbles can cause overheating
and/or fluid oxidation, and varnishing. This can
interfere with normal valve, clutch, and accumulator
operation. Foaming can also result in fluid escaping
from the transmission vent where it may be mistaken for a leak.
Along with fluid level, it is important to check the
condition of the fluid. When the fluid smells burned,
and is contaminated with metal or friction material
particles, a complete transmission recondition is
needed. Be sure to examine the fluid on the dipstick
closely. If there is any doubt about its condition,
drain out a sample for a double check.
After the fluid has been checked, seat the dipstick
fully to seal out water and dirt.
The transmission has a dipstick to check oil level.
It is located on the right side of the engine. Be sure
to wipe all dirt from dipstick handle before removing.
Fluid level is checked with the engine running at
curb idle speed, the transmission in NEUTRAL and
the transmission fluid at normal operating temperature. The engine should be running at idle
speed for at least one minute, with the vehicle
on level ground.
The transmission fluid level can be checked two
ways.

PROCEDURE ONE
(1) Transmission fluid must be at normal operating temperature for accurate fluid level check. Drive
vehicle if necessary to bring fluid temperature up to
normal hot operating temperature of 82°C (180°F).

(2) Position vehicle on level surface.
(3) Start and run engine at curb idle speed.
(4) Apply parking brakes.
(5) Shift transmission momentarily into all gear
ranges. Then shift transmission back to NEUTRAL.
(6) Clean top of filler tube and dipstick to keep
dirt from entering tube.
(7) Remove dipstick (Fig. 83) and check fluid level
as follows:
(a) Correct acceptable level is in crosshatch area.
(b) Correct maximum level is to MAX arrow
mark.
(c) Incorrect level is at or below MIN line.
(d) If fluid is low, add only enough Mopart ATF
+4, type 9602, to restore correct level. Do not overfill.

(2) Add following initial quantity of Mopart ATF
+4, type 9602, to transmission:
(a) If only fluid and filter were changed, add 3
pints (1-1/2 quarts) of ATF +4 to transmission.
(b) If transmission was completely overhauled,
torque converter was replaced or drained, and

cooler was flushed, add 12 pints (6 quarts) of ATF
+4 to transmission.
(3) Apply parking brakes.
(4) Start and run engine at normal curb idle speed.
(5) Apply service brakes, shift transmission through
all gear ranges then back to NEUTRAL, set parking
brake, and leave engine running at curb idle speed.
(6) Remove funnel, insert dipstick and check fluid
level. If level is low, add fluid to bring level to
MIN mark on dipstick. Check to see if the oil level
is equal on both sides of the dipstick. If one side is
noticably higher than the other, the dipstick has
picked up some oil from the dipstick tube. Allow the
oil to drain down the dipstick tube and re-check.
(7) Drive vehicle until transmission fluid is at normal operating temperature.
(8) With the engine running at curb idle speed, the
gear selector in NEUTRAL, and the parking brake
applied, check the transmission fluid level.
CAUTION: Do not overfill transmission, fluid foaming and shifting problems can result.

When fluid level is correct, shut engine off, release
park brake, remove funnel, and install dipstick in fill
tube.

FRONT CLUTCH
DESCRIPTION
The front clutch assembly (Fig. 87) is composed of
the front clutch retainer, pressure plate, clutch
plates, driving discs, piston, piston return spring,
return spring retainer, and snap-rings. The front
clutch is the forward-most component in the transmission geartrain and is directly behind the oil pump
and is considered a driving component.
NOTE: The number of discs and plates may vary
with each engine and vehicle combination.

OPERATION
To apply the clutch, pressure is applied between the
clutch retainer and piston. The fluid pressure is provided by the oil pump, transferred through the control
valves and passageways, and enters the clutch through
the hub of the reaction shaft support. With pressure
applied between the clutch retainer and piston, the piston moves away from the clutch retainer and compresses the clutch pack. This action applies the clutch
pack, allowing torque to flow through the input shaft
into the driving discs, and into the clutch plates and
pressure plate that are lugged to the clutch retainer.
The waved snap-ring is used to cushion the application
of the clutch pack.

When pressure is released from the piston, the
spring returns the piston to its fully released position
and disengages the clutch. The release spring also
helps to cushion the application of the clutch assembly. When the clutch is in the process of being
released by the release spring, fluid flows through a
vent and one-way ball-check-valve located in the
clutch retainer. The check-valve is needed to eliminate the possibility of plate drag caused by centrifugal force acting on the residual fluid trapped in the
clutch piston retainer.

FRONT SERVO
DESCRIPTION
The kickdown servo (Fig. 94) consists of a two-land
piston with an inner piston, a piston rod and guide,
and a return spring. The dual-land piston uses seal
rings on its outer diameters and an O-ring for the
inner piston.

The application of the piston is accomplished by
applying pressure between the two lands of the piston. The pressure acts against the larger lower land
to push the piston downward, allowing the piston rod
to extend though its guide against the apply lever.
Release of the servo at the 2-3 upshift is accomplished by a combination of spring and line pressure,
acting on the bottom of the larger land of the piston.
The small piston is used to cushion the application of
the band by bleeding oil through a small orifice in
the larger piston. The release timing of the kickdown
servo is very important to obtain a smooth but firm
shift. The release has to be very quick, just as the
front clutch application is taking place. Otherwise,
engine runaway or a shift hesitation will occur. To
accomplish this, the band retains its holding capacity
until the front clutch is applied, giving a small
amount of overlap between them.

DISASSEMBLY
(1) Remove seal ring from rod guide (Fig. 95).
(2) Remove small snap-ring from servo piston rod.
Then remove piston rod, spring and washer from piston.
(3) Remove and discard servo component O-ring
and seal rings.

CLEANING
Clean the servo piston components (Fig. 96) with
solvent and dry them with compressed air.

FRONT SERVO (Continued)

OPERATION
As the torque converter rotates, the converter hub
rotates the inner and outer gears. As the gears
rotate, the clearance between the gear teeth
increases in the crescent area, and creates a suction
at the inlet side of the pump. This suction draws
fluid through the pump inlet from the oil pan. As the
clearance between the gear teeth in the crescent area
decreases, it forces pressurized fluid into the pump
outlet and to the valve body.

OIL PUMP
DESCRIPTION
The oil pump (Fig. 99) is located in the pump housing inside the bell housing of the transmission case.
The oil pump consists of an inner and outer gear, a
housing, and a reaction shaft support.

Measuring the oil pump output volume will determine if sufficient oil flow to the transmission oil
cooler exists, and whether or not an internal transmission failure is present.
Verify that the transmission fluid is at the proper
level. Refer to the Fluid Level Check procedure in
this section. If necessary, fill the transmission to the
proper level with Mopart ATF +4, type 9602, Automatic Transmission Fluid.
(1) Disconnect the To cooler line at the cooler
inlet and place a collecting container under the disconnected line.
CAUTION: With the fluid set at the proper level,
fluid collection should not exceed (1) quart or internal damage to the transmission may occur.
(2) Run the engine at curb idle speed, with the
shift selector in neutral.
(3) If one quart of transmission fluid is collected in
the container in 20 seconds or less, oil pump flow volume is within acceptable limits. If fluid flow is intermittent, or it takes more than 20 seconds to collect
one quart of fluid, refer to the Hydraulic Pressure
tests in this section for further diagnosis.
(4) Re-connect the To cooler line to the transmission cooler inlet.
(5) Refill the transmission to proper level.

OVERDRIVE CLUTCH

REMOVAL

The overdrive clutch (Fig. 112) is composed of the
pressure plate, clutch plates, holding discs, overdrive
piston retainer, piston, piston spacer, and snap-rings.
The overdrive clutch is the forwardmost component
in the transmission overdrive unit and is considered
a holding component. The overdrive piston retainer,
piston, and piston spacer are located on the rear of
the main transmission case.

(1) Remove overdrive unit from the vehicle. (Refer
to 21 - TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC/
OVERDRIVE - REMOVAL)
(2) Remove overdrive geartrain from housing.
(3) Remove snap-ring holding output shaft rear
bearing into overdrive housing (Fig. 111).
(4) Using a suitable driver inserted through the
rear end of housing, drive bearing from housing.

DESCRIPTION

NOTE: The number of discs and plates may vary
with each engine and vehicle combination.

(3) Install snap-ring to hold bearing into housing
(Fig. 117).
(4) Install overdrive geartrain into housing.
(5) Install overdrive unit in vehicle.

To apply the clutch, pressure is applied between
the piston retainer and piston. The fluid pressure is
provided by the oil pump, transferred through the
control valves and passageways, and enters the
clutch through passages at the lower rear portion of
the valve body area. With pressure applied between
the piston retainer and piston, the piston moves
away from the piston retainer and compresses the
clutch pack. This action applies the clutch pack,
allowing torque to flow through the intermediate
shaft into the overdrive planetary gear set. The overdrive clutch discs are attached to the overdrive clutch
hub while the overdrive clutch plates, reaction plate,
and pressure plate are lugged to the overdrive housing. This allows the intermediate shaft to transfer
the engine torque to the planetary gear and overrunning clutch. This drives the planetary gear inside the
annulus, which is attached to the overdrive clutch
drum and output shaft, creating the desired gear
ratio. The waved snap-ring is used to cushion the
application of the clutch pack.

causes normal overdrive operation to be restored and
the overdrive lamp to be turned off. The overdrive
OFF mode defaults to ON after the ignition switch is
cycled OFF and ON. The normal position for the control switch is the ON position. The switch must be in

CLEANING
Clean the geartrain and case components with solvent. Dry all parts except the bearings with compressed air. Allow bearings to air dry.
Do not use shop towels for wiping parts dry unless
the towels are made from a lint-free material. A sufficient quantity of lint (from shop towels, cloths, rags,
etc.) could plug the transmission filter and fluid passages.
Discard the old case gasket and seals. Do not
attempt to salvage these parts. They are not reusable. Replace any of the overdrive unit snap-rings if
distorted or damaged.
Minor nicks or scratches on components can be
smoothed with crocus cloth. However, do not attempt
to reduce severe scoring on any components with
abrasive materials. Replace severely scored components; do not try to salvage them.

OUTER RACE (CAM)
ROLLER
SPRING
SPRING RETAINER
INNER RACE (HUB)

OPERATION
As the inner race is rotated in a clockwise direction
(as viewed from the front of the transmission), the
race causes the rollers to roll toward the springs,
causing them to compress against their retainer. The
compression of the springs increases the clearance
between the rollers and cam. This increased clearance between the rollers and cam results in a freewheeling condition. When the inner race attempts to
rotate counterclockwise, the action causes the rollers
to roll in the same direction as the race, aided by the
pushing of the springs. As the rollers try to move in
the same direction as the inner race, they are
wedged between the inner and outer races due to the
design of the cam. In this condition, the clutch is
locked and acts as one unit.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - PARK/NEUTRAL
POSITION SWITCH
The center terminal of the park/neutral position
switch is the starter-circuit terminal. It provides the
ground for the starter solenoid circuit through the
selector lever in PARK and NEUTRAL positions only.
The outer terminals on the switch are for the backup
lamp circuit.

SWITCH TEST
To test the switch, remove the wiring connector.
Test for continuity between the center terminal and
the transmission case. Continuity should exist only
when the transmission is in PARK or NEUTRAL.
Shift the transmission into REVERSE and test
continuity at the switch outer terminals. Continuity
should exist only when the transmission is in
REVERSE. Continuity should not exist between the
outer terminals and the case.
Check gearshift linkage adjustment before replacing a switch that tests faulty.

within the system through the use of piston rings or
seals.

OPERATION

(1) Raise vehicle and position drain pan under
switch.
(2) Disconnect switch wires.
(3) Remove switch from case.

The principal which makes this operation possible
is known as Pascal’s Law. Pascal’s Law can be stated
as: “Pressure on a confined fluid is transmitted
equally in all directions and acts with equal force on
equal areas.”

INSTALLATION

PRESSURE

(1) Move shift lever to PARK and NEUTRAL positions. Verify that switch operating lever fingers are
centered in switch opening in case (Fig. 188).
(2) Install new seal on switch and install switch in
case. Tighten switch to 34 N·m (25 ft. lbs.) torque.
(3) Test continuity of new switch with 12V test
lamp.
(4) Connect switch wires and lower vehicle.
(5) Top off transmission fluid level.

PISTONS
DESCRIPTION
There are several sizes and types of pistons used in
an automatic transmission. Some pistons are used to
apply clutches, while others are used to apply bands.
They all have in common the fact that they are
round or circular in shape, located within a smooth
walled cylinder, which is closed at one end and converts fluid pressure into mechanical movement. The
fluid pressure exerted on the piston is contained

Pressure (Fig. 189) is nothing more than force
(lbs.) divided by area (in or ft.), or force per unit
area. Given a 100 lb. block and an area of 100 sq. in.
on the floor, the pressure exerted by the block is: 100
lbs. 100 in or 1 pound per square inch, or PSI as it is
commonly referred to.

PRESSURE ON A CONFINED FLUID
Pressure is exerted on a confined fluid (Fig. 190)
by applying a force to some given area in contact
with the fluid. A good example of this is a cylinder
filled with fluid and equipped with a piston that is
closely fitted to the cylinder wall. If a force is applied
to the piston, pressure will be developed in the fluid.
Of course, no pressure will be created if the fluid is
not confined. It will simply “leak” past the piston.
There must be a resistance to flow in order to create
pressure. Piston sealing is extremely important in
hydraulic operation. Several kinds of seals are used
to accomplish this within a transmission. These
include but are not limited to O-rings, D-rings, lip
seals, sealing rings, or extremely close tolerances
between the piston and the cylinder wall. The force

FORCE MULTIPLICATION
Using the 10 PSI example used in the illustration
(Fig. 191), a force of 1000 lbs. can be moved with a
force of only 100 lbs. The secret of force multiplication in hydraulic systems is the total fluid contact
area employed. The illustration, (Fig. 191), shows an
area that is ten times larger than the original area.
The pressure created with the smaller 100 lb. input
is 10 PSI. The concept “pressure is the same everywhere” means that the pressure underneath the
larger piston is also 10 PSI. Pressure is equal to the
force applied divided by the contact area. Therefore,
by means of simple algebra, the output force may be
found. This concept is extremely important, as it is
also used in the design and operation of all shift
valves and limiting valves in the valve body, as well
as the pistons, of the transmission, which activate
the clutches and bands. It is nothing more than
using a difference of area to create a difference in
pressure to move an object.

Fig. 189 Force and Pressure Relationship
exerted is downward (gravity), however, the principle
remains the same no matter which direction is taken.
The pressure created in the fluid is equal to the force
applied, divided by the piston area. If the force is 100
lbs., and the piston area is 10 sq. in., then the pressure created equals 10 PSI. Another interpretation of
Pascal’s Law is that regardless of container shape or
size, the pressure will be maintained throughout, as
long as the fluid is confined. In other words, the
pressure in the fluid is the same everywhere within
the container.

Fig. 191 Force Multiplication

PISTON TRAVEL

Fig. 190 Pressure on a Confined Fluid

The relationship between hydraulic lever and a
mechanical lever is the same. With a mechanical
lever it’s a weight-to-distance output rather than a
pressure-to-area output. Using the same forces and
areas as in the previous example, the smaller piston
(Fig. 192) has to move ten times the distance
required to move the larger piston one inch. Therefore, for every inch the larger piston moves, the
smaller piston moves ten inches. This principle is
true in other instances also. A common garage floor
jack is a good example. To raise a car weighing 2000
lbs., an effort of only 100 lbs. may be required. For
every inch the car moves upward, the input piston at
the jack handle must move 20 inches downward.

OPERATION
With any given planetary gearset, several conditions must be met for power to be able to flow:
• One member must be held.
• Another member must be driven or used as an

REAR CLUTCH
DESCRIPTION
The rear clutch assembly (Fig. 214) is composed of
the rear clutch retainer, pressure plate, clutch plates,
driving discs, piston, Belleville spring, and snaprings. The Belleville spring acts as a lever to multiply the force applied on to it by the apply piston. The
increased apply force on the rear clutch pack, in comparison to the front clutch pack, is needed to hold
against the greater torque load imposed onto the rear
pack. The rear clutch is directly behind the front
clutch and is considered a driving component.
NOTE: The number of discs and plates may vary
with each engine and vehicle combination.

control valves and passageways, and enters the
clutch through the hub of the reaction shaft support.
With pressure applied between the clutch retainer
and piston, the piston moves away from the clutch
retainer and compresses the clutch pack. This action
applies the clutch pack, allowing torque to flow
through the input shaft into the driving discs, and
into the clutch plates and pressure plate that are
lugged to the clutch retainer. The waved spring is
used to cushion the application of the clutch pack.
The snap-ring is selective and used to adjust clutch
pack clearance.
When pressure is released from the piston, the
spring returns the piston to its fully released position
and disengages the clutch. The release spring also
helps to cushion the application of the clutch assembly. When the clutch is in the process of being
released by the release spring, fluid flows through a
vent and one-way ball-check-valve located in the piston. The check-valve is needed to eliminate the possibility of plate drag caused by centrifugal force

acting on the residual fluid trapped in the clutch piston retainer.

DISASSEMBLY
(1) Remove fiber thrust washer from forward side
of clutch retainer.
(2) Remove input shaft front and rear seal rings.
(3) Remove selective clutch pack snap-ring (Fig.
215).
(4) Remove the reaction plate, clutch discs, steel
plates, pressure plate, wave spring, spacer ring, and
piston spring (Fig. 215).
(5) Remove clutch piston with rotating motion.
(6) Remove and discard piston seals.
(7) Remove input shaft retaining ring. It may be
necessary to press the input shaft in slightly to
relieve tension on the retaining ring
(8) Press input shaft out of retainer with shop

CLEANING
Clean the clutch components with solvent and dry
them with compressed air. Do not use rags or shop
towels to dry any of the clutch parts. Lint from such
materials will adhere to component surfaces and
could restrict or block fluid passages after assembly.

INSPECTION
Replace the clutch discs if warped, worn, scored,
burned/charred, the lugs are damaged, or if the facing is flaking off. Replace the top and bottom pressure plates if scored, warped, or cracked. Be sure the
driving lugs on the pressure and clutch plates are
also in good condition. The lugs must not be bent,
cracked or damaged in any way.
Replace the piston spring and wave spring if either
part is distorted, warped or broken.
Check the lug grooves in the clutch retainer. The
clutch and pressure plates should slide freely in the
slots. Replace the retainer if the grooves are worn or
damaged. Also check action of the check balls in the
retainer and piston. Each check ball must move
freely and not stick.
Replace the retainer bushing if worn, scored, or
doubt exists about bushing condition.
Inspect the piston and retainer seal surfaces for
nicks or scratches. Minor scratches can be removed
with crocus cloth. However, replace the piston and/or
retainer if the seal surfaces are seriously scored.
Check condition of the fiber thrust washer and
metal output shaft thrust washer. Replace either
washer if worn or damaged.
Check condition of the seal rings on the input shaft
and clutch retainer hub. Replace the seal rings only
if worn, distorted, or damaged. The input shaft front
seal ring is teflon with chamfered ends. The rear ring
is metal with interlocking ends.
Check the input shaft for wear, or damage. Replace
the shaft if worn, scored or damaged in any way.

(5) Press the input shaft the remainder of the way
into the clutch retainer.
(6) Install new seals on clutch piston. Be sure lip
of each seal faces interior of clutch retainer.
(7) Lubricate lip of piston seals with generous
quantity of Mopart Door Ease. Then lubricate
retainer hub and bore with light coat of transmission
fluid.
(8) Install clutch piston in retainer. Use twisting
motion to seat piston in bottom of retainer. A thin
strip of plastic (about 0.0209 thick), can be used to
guide seals into place if necessary.
CAUTION: Never push the clutch piston straight in.
This will fold the seals over causing leakage and
clutch slip. In addition, never use any type of metal
tool to help ease the piston seals into place. Metal
tools will cut, shave, or score the seals.
(9) Install piston spring in retainer and on top of
piston. Concave side of spring faces downward
(toward piston).
(10) Install the spacer ring and wave spring into
the retainer. Be sure spring is completely seated in
retainer groove.

ASSEMBLY
(1) Soak clutch discs in transmission fluid while
assembling other clutch parts.
(2) Install new seal rings on clutch retainer hub
and input shaft if necessary.
(a) Be sure clutch hub seal ring is fully seated in
groove and is not twisted.
(3) Lubricate splined end of input shaft and clutch
retainer with transmission fluid. Then partially press
input shaft into retainer (Fig. 216). Use a suitably
sized press tool to support retainer as close to input
shaft as possible.
(4) Install input shaft retaining ring.

by a clutch disc until entire clutch pack is installed
(4 discs and 3 plates are required) (Fig. 223).
(13) Install the reaction plate.
(14) Install selective snap-ring. Be sure snap-ring
is fully seated in retainer groove.
(15) Using a suitable gauge bar and dial indicator,
measure clutch pack clearance (Fig. 217).
(a) Position gauge bar across the clutch drum
with the dial indicator pointer on the pressure
plate (Fig. 217).
(b) Using two small screw drivers, lift the pressure plate and release it.
(c) Zero the dial indicator.
(d) Lift the pressure plate until it contacts the
snap-ring and record the dial indicator reading.
Clearance should be 0.635 - 0.914 mm (0.025 0.036 in.). If clearance is incorrect, steel plates, discs,
selective snap ring and pressure plates may have to
be changed.
The selective snap ring thicknesses are:
• 0.107 - 0.109 in.
• 0.098 - 0.100 in.
• 0.095 - 0.097 in.
• 0.083 - 0.085 in.

into clutch retainer (Fig. 218). Use enough petroleum
jelly to hold washer in place.
(17) Set rear clutch aside for installation during
final assembly.

REAR SERVO
DESCRIPTION
The rear (low/reverse) servo consists of a single
stage or diameter piston and a spring loaded plug.
The spring is used to cushion the application of the
rear (low/reverse) band.

OPERATION
While in the de-energized state (no pressure
applied), the piston is held up in its bore by the piston spring. The plug is held down in its bore, in the
piston, by the plug spring. When pressure is applied
to the top of the piston, the plug is forced down in its
bore, taking up any clearance. As the piston moves, it
causes the plug spring to compress, and the piston

moves down over the plug. The piston continues to
move down until it hits the shoulder of the plug and
fully applies the band. The period of time from the
initial application, until the piston is against the
shoulder of the plug, represents a reduced shocking

with petroleum jelly. Lubricate other servo parts with
Mopart ATF +4, type 9602, transmission fluid.
(2) Install new seal ring on servo piston.
(3) Assemble piston, plug, spring and new snapring.

Manual LOW (1) range provides first gear only.
Overrun braking is also provided in this range. Manual SECOND (2) range provides first and second gear
only.
DRIVE range provides first, second third and overdrive fourth gear ranges. The shift into overdrive
fourth gear range occurs only after the transmission
has completed the shift into D third gear range. No
further movement of the shift mechanism is required
to complete the 3-4 shift.
The fourth gear upshift occurs automatically when
the overdrive selector switch is in the ON position.
No upshift to fourth gear will occur if any of the following are true:
• The transmission fluid temperature is below 10°
C (50° F) or above 121° C (250° F).
• The shift to third is not yet complete.

SHIFT MECHANISM (Continued)

ADJUSTMENTS
ADJUSTMENT
Check linkage adjustment by starting engine in
PARK and NEUTRAL. Adjustment is acceptable if
the engine starts in only these two positions. Adjustment is incorrect if the engine starts in one position
but not both positions
If the engine starts in any other position, or if the
engine will not start in any position, the park/neutral
switch is probably faulty.

LINKAGE ADJUSTMENT
Check condition of the shift linkage (Fig. 222). Do
not attempt adjustment if any component is loose,
worn, or bent. Replace any suspect components.
Replace the grommet securing the shift rod or
torque rod in place if either rod was removed from
the grommet. Remove the old grommet as necessary
and use suitable pliers to install the new grommet.
(1) Shift transmission into PARK.
(2) Raise and support vehicle.
(3) Loosen lock bolt in front shift rod adjusting
swivel (Fig. 222).
(4) Ensure that the shift rod slides freely in the
swivel. Lube rod and swivel as necessary.
(5) Move transmission shift lever fully rearward to
the Park detent.
(6) Center adjusting swivel on shift rod.
(7) Tighten swivel lock bolt to 10 N·m (90 in. lbs.).
(8) Lower vehicle and verify proper adjustment.

SOLENOID
DESCRIPTION
The typical electrical solenoid used in automotive
applications is a linear actuator. It is a device that
produces motion in a straight line. This straight line
motion can be either forward or backward in direction, and short or long distance.
A solenoid is an electromechanical device that uses
a magnetic force to perform work. It consists of a coil
of wire, wrapped around a magnetic core made from
steel or iron, and a spring loaded, movable plunger,
which performs the work, or straight line motion.
The solenoids used in transmission applications
are attached to valves which can be classified as normally open or normally closed. The normally
open solenoid valve is defined as a valve which
allows hydraulic flow when no current or voltage is
applied to the solenoid. The normally closed solenoid valve is defined as a valve which does not allow
hydraulic flow when no current or voltage is applied
to the solenoid. These valves perform hydraulic control functions for the transmission and must there-

fore be durable and tolerant of dirt particles. For
these reasons, the valves have hardened steel poppets and ball valves. The solenoids operate the valves
directly, which means that the solenoids must have
very high outputs to close the valves against the sizable flow areas and line pressures found in current
transmissions. Fast response time is also necessary
to ensure accurate control of the transmission.
The strength of the magnetic field is the primary
force that determines the speed of operation in a particular solenoid design. A stronger magnetic field will
cause the plunger to move at a greater speed than a
weaker one. There are basically two ways to increase
the force of the magnetic field:
• Increase the amount of current applied to the
coil or
• Increase the number of turns of wire in the coil.
The most common practice is to increase the number of turns by using thin wire that can completely
fill the available space within the solenoid housing.
The strength of the spring and the length of the
plunger also contribute to the response speed possible by a particular solenoid design.
A solenoid can also be described by the method by
which it is controlled. Some of the possibilities
include variable force, pulse-width modulated, constant ON, or duty cycle. The variable force and pulsewidth modulated versions utilize similar methods to

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - 47RE

BR/BE

SOLENOID (Continued)
control the current flow through the solenoid to position the solenoid plunger at a desired position somewhere between full ON and full OFF. The constant
ON and duty cycled versions control the voltage
across the solenoid to allow either full flow or no flow
through the solenoid’s valve.

OPERATION
When an electrical current is applied to the solenoid coil, a magnetic field is created which produces
an attraction to the plunger, causing the plunger to
move and work against the spring pressure and the
load applied by the fluid the valve is controlling. The
plunger is normally directly attached to the valve
which it is to operate. When the current is removed
from the coil, the attraction is removed and the
plunger will return to its original position due to
spring pressure.
The plunger is made of a conductive material and
accomplishes this movement by providing a path for
the magnetic field to flow. By keeping the air gap
between the plunger and the coil to the minimum
necessary to allow free movement of the plunger, the
magnetic field is maximized.

THROTTLE VALVE CABLE
DESCRIPTION
Transmission throttle valve cable (Fig. 224) adjustment is extremely important to proper operation.
This adjustment positions the throttle valve, which
controls shift speed, quality, and part-throttle downshift sensitivity.
If cable setting is too loose, early shifts and slippage between shifts may occur. If the setting is too
tight, shifts may be delayed and part throttle downshifts may be very sensitive.

SPEED SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
The speed sensor (Fig. 223) is located in the overdrive gear case. The sensor is positioned over the
park gear and monitors transmission output shaft
rotating speed.

The transmission throttle valve is operated by a
cam on the throttle lever. The throttle lever is operated by an adjustable cable (Fig. 225). The cable is
attached to an arm mounted on the throttle lever
shaft. A retaining clip at the engine-end of the cable
is removed to provide for cable adjustment. The
retaining clip is then installed back onto the throttle
valve cable to lock in the adjustment.

ADJUSTMENTS - TRANSMISSION THROTTLE
VALVE CABLE
A correctly adjusted throttle valve cable will cause
the throttle lever on the transmission to move simultaneously with the throttle body lever from the idle
position. Proper adjustment will allow simultaneous
movement without causing the transmission throttle
lever to either move ahead of, or lag behind the lever
on the throttle body.

ADJUSTMENT VERIFICATION
(1) Turn ignition key to OFF position.
(2) Remove air cleaner.
(3) Verify that lever on throttle body is at curb idle
position (Fig. 226). Then verify that the transmission
throttle lever (Fig. 227) is also at idle (fully forward)
position.
(4) Slide cable off attachment stud on throttle body
lever.
(5) Compare position of cable end to attachment
stud on throttle body lever:

• Cable end and attachment stud should be
aligned (or centered on one another) to within 1 mm
(0.039 in.) in either direction (Fig. 228).
• If cable end and attachment stud are misaligned
(off center), cable will have to be adjusted as
described in Throttle Valve Cable Adjustment procedure.
(6) Reconnect cable end to attachment stud. Then
with aid of a helper, observe movement of transmission throttle lever and lever on throttle body.
• If both levers move simultaneously from idle to
half-throttle and back to idle position, adjustment is
correct.
• If transmission throttle lever moves ahead of, or
lags behind throttle body lever, cable adjustment will
be necessary. Or, if throttle body lever prevents
transmission lever from returning to closed position,
cable adjustment will be necessary.

ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
(1) Turn ignition switch to OFF position.
(2) Remove air cleaner if necessary.
(3) Disconnect cable end from attachment stud.
Carefully slide cable off stud. Do not pry or pull
cable off.

(4) Verify that transmission throttle lever is in
fully closed position. Then be sure lever on throttle
body is at curb idle position.
(5) Pry the T.V. cable lock (A) into the UP position
(Fig. 228). This will unlock the cable and allow for
readjustment.
(6) Apply just enough tension on the T.V. cable (B)
to remove any slack in the cable.Pulling too tight
will cause the T.V. lever on the transmission to
move out of its idle position, which will result
in an incorrect T.V. cable adjustment. Slide the
sheath of the T.V. cable (D) back and forth until the
centerlines of the T.V. cable end (B) and the throttle
bell crank lever (C) are aligned within one millimeter
(1mm) (Fig. 228).
(7) While holding the T.V. cable in the set position
push the T.V. cable lock (A) into the down position
(Fig. 228). This will lock the present T.V. cable
adjustment.

NOTE: Be sure that as the cable is pulled forward
and centered on the throttle lever stud, the cable
housing moves smoothly with the cable. Due to the
angle at which the cable housing enters the spring
housing, the cable housing may bind slightly and
create an incorrect adjustment.

TORQUE CONVERTER
DESCRIPTION
The torque converter (Fig. 229) is a hydraulic
device that couples the engine crankshaft to the
transmission. The torque converter consists of an
outer shell with an internal turbine, a stator, an
overrunning clutch, an impeller and an electronically
applied converter clutch. The converter clutch provides reduced engine speed and greater fuel economy
when engaged. Clutch engagement also provides
reduced transmission fluid temperatures. The torque
converter hub drives the transmission oil (fluid)
pump.
The torque converter is a sealed, welded unit that
is not repairable and is serviced as an assembly.
CAUTION: The torque converter must be replaced if
a transmission failure resulted in large amounts of
metal or fiber contamination in the fluid. If the fluid
is contaminated, flush the all transmission fluid
cooler(s) and lines.

impeller, because they are one and the same and are
the driving members of the system.

through the center of the impeller and splined into
the turbine. The design of the turbine is similar to
the impeller, except the blades of the turbine are
curved in the opposite direction.

STATOR
The stator assembly (Fig. 232) is mounted on a stationary shaft which is an integral part of the oil

turbine within the torque converter case (Fig. 233).
The stator contains an over-running clutch, which
allows the stator to rotate only in a clockwise direction. When the stator is locked against the over-running clutch, the torque multiplication feature of the
torque converter is operational.

TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH (TCC)
The TCC (Fig. 234) was installed to improve the
efficiency of the torque converter that is lost to the
slippage of the fluid coupling. Although the fluid coupling provides smooth, shock-free power transfer, it is
natural for all fluid couplings to slip. If the impeller
and turbine were mechanically locked together, a
zero slippage condition could be obtained. A hydraulic
piston was added to the turbine, and a friction material was added to the inside of the front cover to provide this mechanical lock-up.

OPERATION
The converter impeller (Fig. 235) (driving member),
which is integral to the converter housing and bolted
to the engine drive plate, rotates at engine speed.
The converter turbine (driven member), which reacts
from fluid pressure generated by the impeller, rotates
and turns the transmission input shaft.

TURBINE
As the fluid that was put into motion by the impeller blades strikes the blades of the turbine, some of

the energy and rotational force is transferred into the
turbine and the input shaft. This causes both of them
(turbine and input shaft) to rotate in a clockwise
direction following the impeller. As the fluid is leaving the trailing edges of the turbine’s blades it continues in a “hindering” direction back toward the
impeller. If the fluid is not redirected before it strikes
the impeller, it will strike the impeller in such a
direction that it would tend to slow it down.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - 47RE

TORQUE CONVERTER (Continued)

STATOR
Torque multiplication is achieved by locking the
stator’s over-running clutch to its shaft (Fig. 236).
Under stall conditions (the turbine is stationary), the
oil leaving the turbine blades strikes the face of the
stator blades and tries to rotate them in a counterclockwise direction. When this happens the overrunning clutch of the stator locks and holds the stator
from rotating. With the stator locked, the oil strikes
the stator blades and is redirected into a “helping”
direction before it enters the impeller. This circulation of oil from impeller to turbine, turbine to stator,
and stator to impeller, can produce a maximum
torque multiplication of about 2.4:1. As the turbine
begins to match the speed of the impeller, the fluid
that was hitting the stator in such as way as to
cause it to lock-up is no longer doing so. In this condition of operation, the stator begins to free wheel
and the converter acts as a fluid coupling.

increased.

REMOVAL
(1) Remove transmission and torque converter
from vehicle.
(2) Place a suitable drain pan under the converter
housing end of the transmission.
CAUTION: Verify that transmission is secure on the
lifting device or work surface, the center of gravity
of the transmission will shift when the torque converter is removed creating an unstable condition.
The torque converter is a heavy unit. Use caution
when separating the torque converter from the
transmission.
(3) Pull the torque converter forward until the center hub clears the oil pump seal.
(4) Separate the torque converter from the transmission.

INSTALLATION
Check converter hub and drive notches for sharp
edges, burrs, scratches, or nicks. Polish the hub and
notches with 320/400 grit paper or crocus cloth if necessary. The hub must be smooth to avoid damaging
the pump seal at installation.
(1) Lubricate oil pump seal lip with transmission
fluid.
(2) Place torque converter in position on transmission.

TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH (TCC)
The torque converter clutch is hydraulically

Module (PCM). The torque converter clutch engages
in fourth gear, and in third gear under various conditions, such as when the O/D switch is OFF, when
the vehicle is cruising on a level surface after the
vehicle has warmed up. The torque converter clutch
will disengage momentarily when an increase in
engine load is sensed by the PCM, such as when the

(5) While pushing torque converter inward, rotate
converter until converter is fully seated in the oil
pump gears.
(6) Check converter seating with a scale and
straightedge (Fig. 237). Surface of converter lugs
should be 19mm (0.75 in.) to the rear of the straightedge when converter is fully seated.

tested when necessary. The procedure is exactly the
same as for flow testing a cooler.
If the valve is restricted, installed backwards, or in
the wrong line, it will cause an overheating condition
and possible transmission failure.
CAUTION: The drainback valve is a one-way flow
device. It must be properly oriented in terms of flow
direction for the cooler to function properly. The
valve must be installed in the pressure line. Otherwise flow will be blocked and would cause an overheating condition and eventual transmission failure.

TEMPERATURE SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
Transmission fluid temperature readings are supplied to the transmission control module by the thermistor (Fig. 238). The temperature readings are used
to control engagement of the fourth gear overdrive
clutch, the converter clutch, and governor pressure.
Normal resistance value for the thermistor at room
temperature is approximately 2000 ohms.
The thermistor is part of the governor pressure
sensor assembly and is immersed in transmission
fluid at all times.

OPERATION
The valve prevents fluid from draining from the
converter into the cooler and lines when the vehicle
is shut down for lengthy periods. Production valves
have a hose nipple at one end, while the opposite end
is threaded for a flare fitting. All valves have an
arrow (or similar mark) to indicate direction of flow
through the valve.

REGULATOR VALVE
The pressure regulator valve is needed to control
the hydraulic pressure within the system and reduce
the amount of heat produced in the fluid. The pressure regulator valve is located in the valve body near
the manual valve. The pressure regulator valve train
controls the maximum pressure in the lines by
metering the dumping of fluid back into the sump.
Regulated pressure is referred to as “line pressure.”

21 - 396

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - 47RE

BR/BE

VALVE BODY (Continued)

Fig. 243 Regulator Valve in PARK Position
The regulator valve (Fig. 243) has a spring on one
end that pushes the valve to the left. This closes a
dump (vent) that is used to lower pressure. The closing of the dump will cause the oil pressure to
increase. Oil pressure on the opposite end of the
valve pushes the valve to the right, opening the
dump and lowering oil pressure. The result is spring
pressure working against oil pressure to maintain
the oil at specific pressures. With the engine running, fluid flows from the pump to the pressure regulator valve, manual valve, and the interconnected
circuits. As fluid is sent through passages to the regulator valve, the pressure pushes the valve to the
right against the large spring. It is also sent to the
reaction areas on the left side of the throttle pressure
plug and the line pressure plug. With the gear selector in the PARK position, fluid recirculates through
the regulator and manual valves back to the sump.
Meanwhile, the torque converter is filled slowly. In
all other gear positions (Fig. 244), fluid flows
between two right side lands to the switch valve and
torque converter. At low pump speeds, the flow is
controlled by the pressure valve groove to reduce
pressure to the torque converter. After the torque
converter and switch valve fill with fluid, the switch
valve becomes the controlling metering device for
torque converter pressure. The regulator valve then
begins to control the line pressure for the other

transmission circuits. The balance of the fluid pressure pushing the valve to the right and the spring
pressure pushing to the left determines the size of
the metering passage at land #2 (land #1 being at
the far right of the valve in the diagram). As fluid
leaks past the land, it moves into a groove connected
to the filter or sump. As the land meters the fluid to
the sump, it causes the pressure to reduce and the
spring decreases the size of the metering passage.
When the size of the metering passage is reduced,
the pressure rises again and the size of the land is
increased again. Pressure is regulated by this constant balance of hydraulic and spring pressure.
The metering at land #2 establishes the line pressure
throughout the transmission. It is varied according to
changes in throttle position and the transmission’s
internal condition within a range of 57-94 psi (except in
REVERSE) (Fig. 245). The regulated line pressure in
REVERSE (Fig. 246) is held at much higher pressures
than in the other gear positions: 145-280 psi. The
higher pressure for REVERSE is achieved by the manual valve blocking the supply of line pressure to the
reaction area left of land #4. With this pressure blocked,
there is less area for pressure to act on to balance the
force of the spring on the right. This allows line pressure to push the valve train to the right, reducing the
amount of fluid returned to the pump’s inlet, increasing
line pressure.

KICKDOWN VALVE

KICKDOWN LIMIT VALVE

When the throttle valve is as far over to the left as
it can go, the maximum line pressure possible will
enter the throttle pressure circuit. In this case, throttle pressure will equal line pressure. With the kickdown valve (Fig. 247) pushed into the bore as far as
it will go, fluid initially flows through the annular
groove of the 2-3 shift valve (which will be in the
direct drive position to the right).
After passing the annular groove, the fluid is
routed to the spring end of the 2-3 shift valve. Fluid
pressure reacting on the area of land #1 overcomes
governor pressure, downshifting the 2-3 shift valve
into the kickdown, or second gear stage of operation.
The valve is held in the kickdown position by throttle
pressure routed from a seated check ball (#2). Again,
if vehicle speed is low enough, throttle pressure will
also push the 1-2 shift valve left to seat its governor
plug, and downshift to drive breakaway.

The purpose of the limit valve is to prevent a 3-2
downshift at higher speeds when a part-throttle
downshift is not desirable. At these higher speeds
only a full throttle 3-2 downshift will occur. At low
road speeds (Fig. 248) the limit valve does not come
into play and does not affect the downshifts. As the
vehicle’s speed increases (Fig. 249), the governor
pressure also increases. The increased governor pressure acts on the reaction area of the bottom land of
the limit valve overcoming the spring force trying to
push the valve toward the bottom of its bore. This
pushes the valve upward against the spring and bottoms the valve against the top of the housing. With
the valve bottomed against the housing, the throttle
pressure supplied to the valve will be closed off by
the bottom land of the limit valve. When the supply
of throttle pressure has been shut off, the 3-2 part
throttle downshift plug becomes inoperative, because
no pressure is acting on its reaction area.

1-2 SHIFT VALVE
The 1-2 shift valve assembly (Fig. 250), or mechanism, consists of: the 1-2 shift valve, governor plug,
and a spring on the end of the valve. After the manual valve has been placed into a forward gear range,
line pressure is directed to the 1-2 shift valve. As the
throttle is depressed, throttle pressure is applied to
the right side of the 1-2 shift valve assembly. With
throttle pressure applied to the right side of the
valve, there is now both spring pressure and throttle
pressure acting on the valve, holding it against the
governor plug. As the vehicle begins to move and
build speed, governor pressure is created and is
applied to the left of the valve at the governor plug.
When governor pressure builds to a point where it
can overcome the combined force of the spring and
throttle pressure on the other side of the valve, the
valve will begin to move over to the right. As the
valve moves to the right, the middle land of the valve
will close off the circuit supplying the throttle pressure to the right side of the valve. When the throttle

pressure is closed off, the valve will move even farther to the right, allowing line pressure to enter
another circuit and energize the front servo, applying
the front band (Fig. 251).
The governor plug serves a dual purpose:
• It allows the shift valves to move either left or
right, allowing both upshifts and downshifts.
• When in a manual selection position, it will be
hydraulically “blocked” into position so no upshift can
occur.
The physical blocking of the upshift while in the
manual “1” position is accomplished by the directing
of line pressure between both lands of the governor
plug. The line pressure reacts against the larger land
of the plug, pushing the plug back against the end
plate overcoming governor pressure. With the combination of the line pressure and spring pressure, the
valve cannot move, preventing any upshift.

1-2 SHIFT CONTROL VALVE
It contains a valve with four lands and a spring. It
is used as both a “relay” and “balanced” valve.

VALVE BODY (Continued)

Fig. 251 1-2 Shift Valve-After Shift
The valve has two specific operations (Fig. 252):
• Aid in quality of the 1-2 upshift.
• Aid in the quality and timing of the 3-2 kickdown ranges.
When the manual valve is set to the DRIVE position and the transmission is in the first or second
gear range, 1-2 shift control or “modulated throttle
pressure” is supplied to the middle of the accumulator piston by the 1-2 shift control valve. During the
1-2 upshift, this pressure is used to control the kickdown servo apply pressure that is needed to apply
the kickdown and accumulator pistons. Thus, the 1-2
shift point is “cushioned” and the quality is
improved. During a WOT kickdown, kickdown pressure is applied between the kickdown valve and the
1-2 shift control valve. This additional pressure is
directed to the 1-2 shift control’s spring cavity, adding to the spring load on the valve. The result of this
increased “modulated” throttle pressure is a firmer
WOT upshift.

2-3 SHIFT VALVE
The 2-3 shift valve mechanism (Fig. 253) consists
of the 2-3 shift valve, governor plug and spring, and
a throttle plug. After the 1-2 shift valve has completed its operation and applied the front band, line
pressure is directed to the 2-3 shift valve through the
connecting passages from the 1-2 shift valve. The line
pressure will then dead–end at land #2 until the 2-3
valve is ready to make its shift. Now that the vehicle
is in motion and under acceleration, there is throttle
pressure being applied to the spring side of the valve
and between lands #3 and #4.
As vehicle speed increases, governor pressure
increases proportionately, until it becomes great
enough to overcome the combined throttle and spring
pressure on the right side of the valve. Since the
throttle pressure end of the 2-3 shift valve is larger
in diameter than the 1-2 shift valve, the 2-3 shift will
always happen at a greater speed than the 1-2 shift.
When this happens, the governor plug is forced
against the shift valve moving it to the right. The
shift valve causes land #4 to close the passage supplying throttle pressure to the 2-3 shift valve. Without throttle pressure present in the circuit now, the
governor plug will push the valve over far enough to
bottom the valve in its bore. This allows land #2 to
direct line pressure to the front clutch.

VALVE BODY (Continued)

Fig. 254 2-3 Shift Valve-After Shift
After the shift (Fig. 254), line pressure is directed
to the land between the shift valve and the governor
plug, and to the release side of the kickdown servo.
This releases the front band and applies the front
clutch, shifting into third gear or direct drive. The
rear clutch remains applied, as it has been in the
other gears. During a manual “1” or manual “2” gear
selection, line pressure is sent between the two lands
of the 2-3 governor plug. This line pressure at the
governor plug locks the shift valve into the second
gear position, preventing an upshift into direct drive.
The theory for the blocking of the valve is the same
as that of the 1-2 shift valve.

3-4 SHIFT VALVE
The PCM energizes the overdrive solenoid during
the 3-4 upshift (Fig. 255). This causes the solenoid
check ball to close the vent port allowing line pressure from the 2-3 shift valve to act directly on the 3-4
upshift valve. Line pressure on the 3-4 shift valve
overcomes valve spring pressure moving the valve to
the upshift position (Fig. 256). This action exposes
the feed passages to the 3-4 timing valve, 3-4 quick
fill valve, 3-4 accumulator, and ultimately to the
overdrive piston.

3-4 TIMING VALVE
The 3-4 timing valve is moved by line pressure
coming through the 3-4 shift valve (Fig. 256). After
the shift, the timing valve holds the 2-3 shift valve in
an upshift position. The purpose is to prevent the 2-3

Fig. 255 3-4 Shift Valve Before Shift
valve from downshifting before the 3-4 valve (Fig.
255).

3-4 QUICK FILL VALVE
The 3-4 quick fill valve provides faster engagement
of the overdrive clutch during 3-4 upshifts. The valve
temporarily bypasses the clutch piston feed orifice at
the start of a 3-4 upshift (Fig. 255). This exposes a
larger passage into the piston retainer resulting in a
much faster clutch fill and apply sequence. The quick
fill valve does not bypass the regular clutch feed orifice throughout the 3-4 upshift. Instead, once a predetermined pressure develops within the clutch, the
valve closes the bypass (Fig. 256). Clutch fill is then
completed through the regular feed orifice.

THROTTLE VALVE

Fig. 256 3-4 Shift Valve After Shift

In all gear positions the throttle valve (Fig. 257) is
being supplied with line pressure. The throttle valve
meters and reduces the line pressure that now
becomes throttle pressure. The throttle valve is
moved by a spring and the kickdown valve, which is
mechanically connected to the throttle. The larger
the throttle opening, the higher the throttle pressure
(to a maximum of line pressure). The smaller the
throttle opening, the lower the throttle pressure (to a
minimum of zero at idle). As engine speed increases,
the increase in pump speed increases pump output.
The increase in pressure and volume must be regulated to maintain the balance within the transmission. To do this, throttle pressure is routed to the
reaction area on the right side of the throttle pressure plug (in the regulator valve).

Fig. 257 Throttle Valve

BR/BE

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - 47RE

21 - 405

VALVE BODY (Continued)
The higher engine speed and line pressure would
open the vent too far and reduce line pressure too
much. Throttle pressure, which increases with engine
speed (throttle opening), is used to oppose the movement of the pressure valve to help control the metering passage at the vent. The throttle pressure is
combined with spring pressure to reduce the force of
the throttle pressure plug on the pressure valve. The
larger spring at the right closes the regulator valve
passage and maintains or increases line pressure.
The increased line pressure works against the reaction area of the line pressure plug and the reaction
area left of land #3 simultaneously moves the regulator valve train to the right and controls the metering passage.
The kickdown valve, along with the throttle valve,
serve to delay upshifts until the correct vehicle speed
has been reached. It also controls downshifts upon
driver demand, or increased engine load. If these
valves were not in place, the shift points would be at
the same speed for all throttle positions. The kickdown valve is actuated by a cam connected to the
throttle. This is accomplished through either a linkage or a cable. The cam forces the kickdown valve
toward the throttle valve compressing the spring
between them and moving the throttle valve. As the
throttle valve land starts to uncover its port, line
pressure is “metered” out into the circuits and viewed
as throttle pressure. This increased throttle pressure
is metered out into the circuits it is applied to: the
1-2 and 2-3 shift valves. When the throttle pressure
is high enough, a 3-2 downshift will occur. If the
vehicle speed is low enough, a 2-1 downshift will
occur.

Once the TCC control valve has moved to the right
(Fig. 259), line pressure is directed to the tip of the
switch valve, forcing the valve to the right. The
switch valve now vents oil from the front of the piston in the torque converter, and supplies line pressure to the (rear) apply side of the torque converter
piston. This pressure differential causes the piston to
apply against the friction material, cutting off any
further flow of line pressure oil. After the switch
valve is shuttled right allowing line pressure to
engage the TCC, torque converter pressure is
directed past the switch valve into the transmission
cooler and lubrication circuits.

MANUAL VALVE
The manual valve (Fig. 260) is a relay valve. The
purpose of the manual valve is to direct fluid to the
correct circuit needed for a specific gear or driving
range. The manual valve, as the name implies, is
manually operated by the driver with a lever located
on the side of the valve body. The valve is connected
mechanically by either a cable or linkage to the gearshift mechanism. The valve is held in each of its
positions by a spring-loaded roller or ball that
engages the “roostercomb” of the manual valve lever.

CONVERTER CLUTCH LOCK-UP VALVE
The torque converter clutch (TCC) lock-up valve
controls the back (ON) side of the torque converter
clutch. When the PCM energizes the TCC solenoid to
engage the converter clutch piston, pressure is
applied to the TCC lock-up valve which moves to the
right and applies pressure to the torque converter
clutch.

SWITCH VALVE

CONVERTER CLUTCH LOCK-UP TIMING VALVE

When the transmission is in Drive Second before
the TCC application occurs (Fig. 258), the pressure
regulator valve is supplying torque converter pressure to the switch valve. The switch valve directs
this pressure through the transmission input shaft,
into the converter, through the converter, back out
between the input shaft and the reaction shaft, and
back up to the switch valve. From the switch valve,
the fluid pressure is directed to the transmission
cooler, and lubrication pressure returns from the
cooler to lubricate different portions of the transmission.

The torque converter clutch (TCC) lock-up timing
valve is there to block any 4-3 downshift until the
TCC is completely unlocked and the clutch is disengaged.

SHUTTLE VALVE
The assembly is contained in a bore in the valve
body above the shift valves. When the manual valve
is positioned in the Drive range, throttle pressure
acts on the throttle plug of the shuttle valve (Fig.
252) to move it against a spring, increasing the
spring force on the shuttle valve. During a part or
full throttle 1-2 upshift, the throttle plug is bottomed
by throttle pressure, holding the shuttle valve to the
right against governor pressure, and opening a
by–pass circuit. The shuttle valve controls the quality of the kickdown shift by restricting the rate of

fluid discharge from the front clutch and servo
release circuits. During a 3-2 kickdown, fluid discharges through the shuttle by-pass circuit. When
the shuttle valve closes the by-pass circuit, fluid discharge is restricted and controlled for the application
of the front band. During a 2-3 “lift foot” upshift, the
shuttle valve by-passes the restriction to allow full
fluid flow through the by-pass groove for a faster
release of the band.

BOOST VALVE
The boost valve (Fig. 261) provides increased fluid
apply pressure to the overdrive clutch during 3-4
upshifts (Fig. 262), and when accelerating in fourth
gear. The boost valve also serves to increase line
pressure during torque converter lock-up.

solution only. Do not use gasoline, kerosene, or any
type of caustic solution.
Do not immerse any of the electrical components in
cleaning solution. Clean the governor solenoid and
sensor and the dual solenoid and harness assembly
by wiping them off with dry shop towels only.
Dry all except the electrical parts with compressed
air. Make sure all passages are clean and free from
obstructions. Do not use rags or shop towels to
dry or wipe off valve body components. Lint
from these materials can stick to valve body
parts, interfere with valve operation, and clog
filters and fluid passages.
Wipe the governor pressure sensor and solenoid
valve with dry, lint free shop towels only. The O-rings
on the sensor and solenoid valve are the only serviceable components. Be sure the vent ports in the solenoid valve are open and not blocked by dirt or debris.
Replace the valve and/or sensor only when DRB scan
tool diagnosis indicates this is necessary. Or, if either

CAUTION: Do not turn the small screw at the end of
the solenoid valve for any reason. Turning the
screw in either direction will ruin solenoid calibration and result in solenoid failure. In addition, the
filter on the solenoid valve is NOT serviceable. Do
not try to remove the filter as this will damage the
valve housing.

INSPECTION
Inspect the throttle and manual valve levers and
shafts. Do not attempt to straighten a bent shaft or

correct a loose lever. Replace these components if
worn, bent, loose or damaged in any way.
Inspect all of the valve body mating surfaces for
scratches, nicks, burrs, or distortion. Use a straightedge to check surface flatness. Minor scratches may
be removed with crocus cloth using only very light
pressure.
Minor distortion of a valve body mating surface
may be corrected by smoothing the surface with a
sheet of crocus cloth. Position the crocus cloth on a
surface plate, sheet of plate glass or equally flat surface. If distortion is severe or any surfaces are
heavily scored, the valve body will have to be
replaced.

CAUTION: Many of the valves and plugs, such as
the throttle valve, shuttle valve plug, 1-2 shift valve
and 1-2 governor plug, are made of coated aluminum. Aluminum components are identified by the
dark color of the special coating applied to the surface (or by testing with a magnet). Do not sand aluminum valves or plugs under any circumstances.
This practice could damage the special coating
causing the valves/plugs to stick and bind.
Inspect the valves and plugs for scratches, burrs,
nicks, or scores. Minor surface scratches on steel
valves and plugs can be removed with crocus cloth
but do not round off the edges of the valve or
plug lands.Maintaining sharpness of these edges is
vitally important. The edges prevent foreign matter
from lodging between the valves and plugs and the
bore.
Inspect all the valve and plug bores in the valve
body. Use a penlight to view the bore interiors.
Replace the valve body if any bores are distorted or
scored. Inspect all of the valve body springs. The
springs must be free of distortion, warpage or broken
coils.
Check the two separator plates for distortion or
damage of any kind. Inspect the upper housing,
lower housing, 3-4 accumulator housing, and transfer
plate carefully. Be sure all fluid passages are clean
and clear. Check condition of the upper housing and

transfer plate check balls as well. The check balls
and ball seats must not be worn or damaged.
Trial fit each valve and plug in its bore to check
freedom of operation. When clean and dry, the valves
and plugs should drop freely into the bores.
Valve body bores do not change dimensionally with
use. If the valve body functioned correctly when new,
it will continue to operate properly after cleaning and
inspection. It should not be necessary to replace a
valve body assembly unless it is damaged in handling.
The only serviceable valve body components are
listed below. The remaining valve body components
are serviced only as part of a complete valve body
assembly. Serviceable parts are:
• dual solenoid and harness assembly
• solenoid gasket
• solenoid case connector O-rings and shoulder
bolt
• switch valve and spring
• pressure adjusting screw and bracket assembly
• throttle lever
• manual lever and shaft seal
• throttle lever shaft seal, washer, and E-clip
• fluid filter and screws
• detent ball and spring
• valve body screws
• governor pressure solenoid
• governor pressure sensor and retaining clip
• park lock rod and E-clip

ASSEMBLY
CAUTION: Do not force valves or plugs into place
during reassembly. If the valve body bores, valves
and plugs are free of distortion or burrs, the valve
body components should all slide into place easily.
In addition, do not overtighten the transfer plate
and valve body screws during reassembly. Overtightening can distort the housings resulting in
valve sticking, cross leakage and unsatisfactory
operation. Tighten valve body screws to recommended torque only.

NOTE: The kickdown valve spring must be fully
compressed and the kickdown valve completely
bottomed to obtain correct adjustment.

LINE PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT
Measure distance from the valve body to the inner
edge of the adjusting screw with an accurate steel
scale (Fig. 318).
Distance should be 33.4 mm (1-5/16 in.).
If adjustment is required, turn the adjusting screw
in, or out, to obtain required distance setting.
NOTE: The 33.4 mm (1-5/16 in.) setting is an
approximate setting. Manufacturing tolerances may
make it necessary to vary from this dimension to
obtain desired pressure.
One complete turn of the adjusting screw changes
line pressure approximately 1-2/3 psi (9 kPa).
Turning the adjusting screw counterclockwise
increases pressure while turning the screw clockwise
decreases pressure.

TRANSFER CASE - NV241LD
DESCRIPTION
The NV241LD transfer case is a part-time transfer
case with a low-range gear system. It provides three
operating ranges plus a NEUTRAL position. The low
range position provides a gear reduction ratio of
2.72:1 for increased low speed torque capability.
The synchronizer mechanism consists of a brass
stop ring, synchro hub, and the sliding clutch. The
synchronizer components allow the transfer case to
be shifted between the 2H and 4H operating ranges
while the vehicle is in motion.
The gear cases, retainer and extension are all of
aluminum. Drive sprockets and an interconnecting
drive chain are used to transmit engine torque to the
front/rear propeller shafts. The mainshaft, input gear
and front output shaft are supported by ball and needle bearings.

IDENTIFICATION
An identification tag (Fig. 1) is attached to the rear
case of every transfer case. The tag provides the
transfer case model number, assembly number, serial
number, and low range ratio.
The transfer case serial number also represents
the date of build.

3 - DRAIN PLUG

OPERATION
OPERATING RANGES
Transfer case operating ranges are:
• 2H (2-wheel drive)
• 4H (4-wheel drive)
• 4LO (4-wheel drive low range
The 2H range is for use on any road surface at any
time.
The 4H and 4LO ranges are for off road use only.
They are not for use on hard surface roads. The only

TRANSFER CASE - NV241LD (Continued)
exception being when the road surface is covered by
ice and snow.
The low range reduction gear system is operative
in 4LO range only. This range is for extra pulling
power in off road situations. Low range reduction
ratio is 2.72:1.
A front axle disconnect system is used to achieve
two-wheel drive mode. The axle disconnect vacuum
motor is actuated by a vacuum switch on the transfer
case. The switch is operated by the transfer case
range rod.

SHIFT MECHANISM
The transfer case is operated by an adjustable floor
mounted shift linkage. The transfer case shift lever
is directly attached to the shift sector. The sector
operates the range and mode forks within the transfer case.
A straight line shift pattern is used with a NEUTRAL detent. Lever range positions are imprinted in
the shift knob.

SHIFTING
The synchronizer components allow the transfer
case to be shifted between the 2H and 4H operating
ranges while the vehicle is in motion. The vehicle
must have the transmission placed in NEUTRAL, or
the clutch depressed in the case of a manual transmission, and be moving less than 2-3 MPH when
shifting into the 4L operating range.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - TRANSFER CASE
Before beginning repair on a suspected transfer
case malfunction, check all other driveline components beforehand.
The actual cause of a problem may be related to
such items as: front hubs, axles, propeller shafts,
wheels and tires, transmission, or clutch instead. If
all other driveline components are in good condition
and operating properly, refer to the Diagnosis Chart
for further information.

DIAGNOSIS CHART
Condition

Possible Cause

Transfer Case difficult to shift or will
not shift into desired range.

1) Vehicle speed too great to permit
shifting.

1) Stop vehicle and shift into
desired range. Or, reduce speed to
below 3-4 km/h (2-3 mph) before
attempting the shift.

2) If vehicle was operated for an
extended period in 4H on a dry
paved surface, the driveline torque
load may be causing a bind.

2) Stop vehicle and shift the
transmission into neutral. Shift the
transfer case to 2H and operate
vehicle in 2H on dry paved
surfaces.

3) Transfer case external shift
linkage binding.

3) Lubricate, repair, or replace
linkage bushings, or tighten loose
components as necessary.

4) Insufficient or incorrect lubricant.

4) Drain and refill to edge of fill hole
with MoparT ATF +4, type 9602,
Automatic Transmission fluid.

5) Internal components binding,
worn, or damaged.

5) Disassemble the transfer case
and replace worn or damaged
components as necessary.

1) Insufficient or incorrect lubricant.

1) Drain and refill to edge of fill hole
with MoparT ATF +4, type 9602,

be smoothed with 320-400 grit emery cloth but do not
try to salvage the shaft if nicks or wear is severe.
Inspect the spline teeth on the synchronizer hub. If
evidence of chipping or excessive wear is apparent,
replace the hub. The hooked end of each synchronizer
spring should be inserted in one of the struts. In
addition, the springs should not interfere with the
polished gear cone or inside diameters of the hub.
Inspect the stop ring for cracks and wear. Replace
the ring if necessary or if doubt exists over condition.
Check a replacement synchronizer ring for proper fit
on the cone with a minimum of wobble. Also check
the synchronizer struts for wear or damage.

TRANSFER CASE - NV241HD
DESCRIPTION
The NV241HD is a part-time transfer case with a
low-range gear system. The transfer case provides
three operating ranges plus a NEUTRAL position.
The low range position provides a gear reduction
ratio of 2.72:1 for increased low speed torque capability. Operating ranges are: 2H, 4H, and 4LO.
The synchronizer mechanism consists of a brass
stop ring, synchronizer hub, and the sliding clutch
(Fig. 1). The synchronizer components allow the
transfer case to be shifted between the 2H and 4H
operating ranges while the vehicle is in motion.

The gear cases, retainer and extension are all of
aluminum. Drive sprockets and an interconnecting
drive chain are used to transmit engine torque to the
front/rear propeller shafts. The mainshaft, input gear
and front output shaft are supported by ball and needle bearings.

PTO CAPABILITY
The NV241HD transfer case has power take-off
capability. A PTO gear permanently attached to the
planetary carrier, and a removable PTO cover are
provided for this purpose.

IDENTIFICATION
An identification tag (Fig. 2) is attached to the rear
case of every transfer case. The tag provides the
transfer case model number, assembly number, serial
number, and low range ratio.
The transfer case serial number also represents
the date of build.

exception being when the road surface is covered by
ice and snow or other loose, slippery material.
The low range reduction gear system is operative
in 4LO range only. This range is for extra pulling
power in off road situations. Low range reduction
ratio is 2.72:1.
A front axle disconnect system is used to achieve
two-wheel drive mode. The axle disconnect vacuum
motor is actuated by a vacuum switch on the transfer
case. The switch is operated by the transfer case
range rod.

SHIFT MECHANISM
The transfer case is operated by an adjustable floor
mounted shift linkage. The transfer case shift lever
is directly attached to the shift sector. The sector
operates the range and mode forks within the transfer case.
A straight line shift pattern is used with a NEUTRAL detent. Lever range positions are imprinted in
the shift knob.

OPERATION
OPERATING RANGES
Transfer case operating ranges are:
• 2H (2-wheel drive)
• 4H (4-wheel drive)
• 4LO (4-wheel drive low range)
The 2H range is for use on any road surface at any
time.
The 4H and 4LO ranges are for off road use only.
They are not for use on hard surface roads. The only

SHIFTING
The synchronizer components allow the transfer
case to be shifted between the 2H and 4H operating
ranges while the vehicle is in motion. The vehicle
must have the transmission placed in NEUTRAL, or
the clutch depressed in the case of a manual transmission, and be moving less than 2-3 MPH when
shifting into the 4L operating range.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - TRANSFER CASE
Before beginning repair on a suspected transfer
case malfunction, check all other driveline components beforehand.
The actual cause of a problem may be related to
such items as: front hubs, axles, propeller shafts,
wheels and tires, transmission, or clutch instead. If
all other driveline components are in good condition
and operating properly, refer to the Diagnosis Chart
for further information.

DIAGNOSIS CHART
Condition

Possible Cause

Transfer Case difficult to shift or will
not shift into desired range.

1) Vehicle speed too great to permit
shifting.

1) Stop vehicle and shift into
desired range. Or, reduce speed to
below 3-4 km/h (2-3 mph) before
attempting the shift.

2) If vehicle was operated for an
extended period in 4H on a dry
paved surface, the driveline torque
load may be causing a bind.

2) Stop vehicle and shift the
transmission into neutral. Shift the
transfer case to 2H and operate
vehicle in 2H on dry paved surfaces.

3) Transfer case external shift
linkage binding.

3) Lubricate, repair, or replace
linkage bushings, or tighten loose
components as necessary.

4) Insufficient or incorrect lubricant.

4) Drain and refill to edge of fill hole
with MoparT ATF +4, type 9602,
Automatic Transmission fluid.

5) Internal components binding,
worn, or damaged.

5) Disassemble the transfer case
and replace worn or damaged
components as necessary.

Transfer Case noisy in all operating
ranges.

1) Insufficient or incorrect lubricant.

1) Drain and refill to edge of fill hole
with MoparT ATF +4, type 9602,
Automatic Transmission fluid.

Noisy in, or jumps out of, four wheel
drive low range.

1) Transfer case not completely
engaged in 4L position.

1) With the transmission in
NEUTRAL, or the clutch depressed
in the case of a manual
transmission and the vehicle moving
under 3-4 km/h (2-3 mph), shift the
transfer case to NEUTRAL and then
shift into the 4L position.

2) Shift linkage out of adjustment.

2) Adjust linkage.

3) Shift linkage loose or binding.

3) Tighten, lubricate, or repair
linkage as necessary.

4) Range fork damaged, inserts worn,
or fork is binding on the shift rail.

any part with damaged splines.
It is recommended that all retaining rings be
replaced during overhaul. Most of the retaining rings
can be distorted during removal and should not be
reused.
Inspect the two case halves, for cracks, porosity,
damaged mating surfaces, stripped bolt threads, or
distortion. Replace either case half if necessary. However, stripped threads can be repaired with HeliCoil™ stainless steel thread inserts. The case vent
tube can be resecured with Loctite™ 680 if necessary.

Check condition of the shift fork pads (Fig. 39).
The pads should be replaced if cracked, worn, or
loose (won’t stay on fork).
The shift forks, clutch and sleeve should all be
checked for wear, cracks, or any type of damage (Fig.

inspected for wear. The mode fork and shift rail are a
one-piece unit. If either part is damaged, replace the
fork and rail as an assembly. Replace the shift rail
cup and spring if they exhibit wear.
Inspect the planetary thrust washers (Fig. 41)
carefully for wear or damage. Replace both washers
if necessary.
The planetary carrier cannot be disassembled. It
must be serviced as an assembly if damaged. Check
condition of the pinion teeth and PTO gear teeth. If
pinion tooth wear is evident, it will also be necessary
to check condition of the annulus gear teeth.

TIRES/WHEELS
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - TIRE AND WHEEL
RUNOUT
Radial runout is the difference between the high
and low points on the tire or wheel (Fig. 1).
Lateral runout is the wobble of the tire or wheel.
Radial runout of more than 1.5 mm (.060 inch)
measured at the center line of the tread may cause
the vehicle to shake.
Lateral runout of more than 2.0 mm (.080 inch)
measured near the shoulder of the tire may cause the
vehicle to shake.
Sometimes radial runout can be reduced. Relocate
the wheel and tire assembly on the mounting studs
(See Method 1). If this does not reduce runout to an
acceptable level, the tire can be rotated on the wheel.

METHOD 1 (RELOCATE WHEEL ON HUB)
(1) Drive vehicle a short distance to eliminate tire
flat spotting from a parked position.
(2) Check wheel bearings and adjust if adjustable
or replace if necessary.
(3) Check the wheel mounting surface.
(4) Relocate wheel on the mounting, two studs
over from the original position.
(5) Tighten wheel nuts until all are properly
torqued, to eliminate brake distortion.
(6) Check radial runout. If still excessive, mark
tire sidewall, wheel, and stud at point of maximum
runout and proceed to Method 2.

METHOD 2 (RELOCATE TIRE ON WHEEL)
NOTE: Rotating the tire on wheel is particularly
effective when there is runout in both tire and
wheel.
(1) Remove tire from wheel and mount wheel on
service dynamic balance machine.
(2) Check wheel radial runout (Fig. 2) and lateral
runout (Fig. 3).
• STEEL WHEELS: Radial runout 0.040 in., Lateral runout 0.045 in. (maximum)
• ALUMINUM WHEELS: Radial runout 0.030 in.,
Lateral runout 0.035 in. (maximum)
(3) If point of greatest wheel lateral runout is near

STANDARD PROCEDURE
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TIRE ROTATION
Tires on the front and rear axles operate at different loads and perform different steering, driving, and
braking functions. For these reasons, the tires wear
at unequal rates. They may also develop irregular
wear patterns. These effects can be reduced by rotating the tires according to the maintenance schedule
in the Owners Manual. This will improve tread life,
traction and maintain a smooth quiet ride.
The recommended method of tire rotation is (Fig.
4). Other methods can be used, but may not provide
the same tire longevity benefits.
Dual wheel vehicles require a different tire rotation pattern. Refer to (Fig. 5) for the proper tire rotation with dual wheels.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - MATCH MOUNTING
Wheels and tires are match mounted at the factory.
This means that the high spot of the tire is matched
to the low spot on the wheel rim. Each are marked
with a bright colored temporary label on the outboard surface for alignment. The wheel is also
marked permanently on the inside of the rim in the
tire well. This permanent mark may be a paint dot
or line, a permanent label or a stamped impression
such as an X. An optional location mark is a small
spherical indentation on the vertical face of the outboard flange on some non styled base steel wheels.
The tire must be removed to locate the permanent
mark on the inside of the wheel.
Before dismounting a tire from its wheel, a reference mark should be placed on the tire at the valve
stem location. This reference will ensure that it is
remounted in the original position on the wheel.
(1) Remove the tire and wheel assembly from the
vehicle and mount on a service dynamic balance
machine.
(2) Measure the total runout on the center of the
tire tread rib with a dial indicator. Record the indicator reading. Mark the tire to indicate the high spot.
Place a mark on the tire at the valve stem location
(Fig. 6).
(3) Break down the tire and remount it 180
degrees on the rim (Fig. 7).
(4) Measure the total indicator runout again. Mark
the tire to indicate the high spot.
(5) If runout is still excessive, the following procedures must be done.
• If the high spot is within 101.6 mm (4.0 in.) of
the first spot and is still excessive, replace the tire.
• If the high spot is within 101.6 mm (4.0 in.) of
the first spot on the wheel, the wheel may be out of
specifications. Refer to Wheel and Tire Runout.
• If the high spot is NOT within 101.6 mm (4.0
in.) of either high spot, draw an arrow on the tread

from second high spot to first. Break down the tire
and remount it 90 degrees on rim in that direction
(Fig. 8). This procedure will normally reduce the
runout to an acceptable amount, if not replace the
rim.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - TIRE AND WHEEL
BALANCE
It is recommended that a two plane service
dynamic balancer be used when a tire and wheel
assembly require balancing. Refer to balancer operation instructions for proper cone mounting procedures. Typically use front cone mounting method for
steel wheels. For aluminum wheel use back cone
mounting method without cone spring.
NOTE: Static should be used only when a two plane
balancer is not available.
NOTE: Cast aluminum and forged aluminum wheels
require coated balance weights and special alignment equipment.

Fig. 8 Remount Tire 90 Degrees In Direction of
Arrow
1 - 2ND HIGH SPOT ON TIRE
2 - 1ST HIGH SPOT ON TIRE

Wheel balancing can be accomplished with either
on or off vehicle equipment. When using on-vehicle
balancing equipment, remove the opposite wheel/tire.
Off-vehicle balancing is recommended.
For static balancing, find the location of the heavy
spot causing the imbalance. Counter balance wheel
directly opposite the heavy spot. Determine weight
required to counter balance the area of imbalance.
Place half of this weight on the inner rim flange and
the other half on the outer rim flange (Fig. 9).
For dynamic balancing, the balancing equipment is
designed to locate the amount of weight to be applied
to both the inner and outer rim flange (Fig. 10).

TIRES/WHEELS

TIRES

BR/BE

An All Season type tire will have either M + S, M
& S or M–S (indicating mud and snow traction)
imprinted on the side wall.

DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION - SPARE TIRE - TEMPORARY
The temporary spare tire is designed for emergency use only. The original tire should be repaired
or replaced at the first opportunity, then reinstalled.
Do not exceed speeds of 50 M.P.H. when using the
temporary spare tire. Refer to Owner’s Manual for
complete details.

DESCRIPTION - TIRES
Tires are designed and engineered for each specific
vehicle. They provide the best overall performance
for normal operation. The ride and handling characteristics match the vehicle’s requirements. With
proper care they will give excellent reliability, traction, skid resistance, and tread life.
Driving habits have more effect on tire life than
any other factor. Careful drivers will obtain in most
cases, much greater mileage than severe use or careless drivers. A few of the driving habits which will
shorten the life of any tire are:
• Rapid acceleration
• Severe brake applications
• High speed driving
• Excessive speeds on turns
• Striking curbs and other obstacles
Radial-ply tires are more prone to irregular tread
wear. It is important to follow the tire rotation interval shown in the section on Tire Rotation, (Refer to
22 - TIRES/WHEELS - STANDARD PROCEDURE).
This will help to achieve a greater tread life.

Tire snow chains may be used on certain models.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more information.

TIRE IDENTIFICATION

DESCRIPTION - RADIAL-PLY TIRES

Tire type, size, aspect ratio and speed rating are
encoded in the letters and numbers imprinted on the
side wall of the tire. Refer to the chart to decipher
the tire identification code (Fig. 11).
Performance tires have a speed rating letter after
the aspect ratio number. The speed rating is not
always printed on the tire sidewall. These ratings
are:
• Q up to 100 mph
• R up to 106 mph
• S up to 112 mph
• T up to 118 mph
• U up to 124 mph
• H up to 130 mph
• V up to 149 mph
• Z more than 149 mph (consult the tire manufacturer for the specific speed rating)

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

TIRES (Continued)

DESCRIPTION - TIRE PRESSURE FOR HIGH
SPEEDS
Where speed limits allow the vehicle to be driven
at high speeds, correct tire inflation pressure is very
important. For speeds up to and including 120 km/h
(75 mph), tires must be inflated to the pressures
shown on the tire placard. For continuous speeds in
excess of 120 km/h (75 mph), tires must be inflated
to the maximum pressure specified on the tire sidewall.
Vehicles loaded to the maximum capacity should
not be driven at continuous speeds above 75 mph
(120 km/h).
For emergency vehicles that are driven at speeds
over 90 mph (144 km/h), special high speed tires
must be used. Consult tire manufacturer for correct
inflation pressure recommendations.

Fig. 12 Under Inflation Wear

DESCRIPTION - REPLACEMENT TIRES
The original equipment tires provide a proper balance of many characteristics such as:
• Ride
• Noise
• Handling
• Durability
• Tread life
• Traction
• Rolling resistance
• Speed capability
It is recommended that tires equivalent to the original equipment tires be used when replacement is
needed.
Failure to use equivalent replacement tires may
adversely affect the safety and handling of the vehicle.
The use of oversize tires may cause interference
with vehicle components. Under extremes of suspension and steering travel, interference with vehicle
components may cause tire damage.
WARNING: FAILURE TO EQUIP THE VEHICLE WITH
TIRES HAVING ADEQUATE SPEED CAPABILITY
CAN RESULT IN SUDDEN TIRE FAILURE.

DESCRIPTION - TIRE INFLATION PRESSURES
Under inflation will cause rapid shoulder wear, tire
flexing, and possible tire failure (Fig. 12).
Over inflation will cause rapid center wear and
loss of the tire’s ability to cushion shocks (Fig. 13).
Improper inflation can cause:
• Uneven wear patterns
• Reduced tread life
• Reduced fuel economy
• Unsatisfactory ride
• Vehicle drift

Fig. 13 Over Inflation Wear
1 - THIN TIRE THREAD AREA

For proper tire pressure specification refer to the
Tire Inflation Pressure Chart provided with the vehicles Owners Manual. A Certification Label on the
drivers side door pillar provides the minimum tire
and rim size for the vehicle. The label also list the
cold inflation pressure for these tires at full load
operation
Tire pressures have been chosen to provide safe
operation, vehicle stability, and a smooth ride. Tire
pressure should be checked cold once a month. Tire
pressure decreases as the ambient temperature
drops. Check tire pressure frequently when ambient
temperature varies widely.
Tire inflation pressures are cold inflation pressure.
The vehicle must sit for at least 3 hours to obtain the
correct cold inflation pressure reading. Or be driven
less than one mile after sitting for 3 hours. Tire
inflation pressures may increase from 2 to 6 pounds

per square inch (psi) during operation. Do not reduce
this normal pressure build-up.
WARNING: OVER OR UNDER INFLATED TIRES CAN
AFFECT VEHICLE HANDLING AND TREAD WEAR.
THIS MAY CAUSE THE TIRE TO FAIL SUDDENLY,
RESULTING IN LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - PRESSURE
GAUGES
A quality air pressure gauge is recommended to
check tire pressure. After checking the air pressure,
replace valve cap finger tight.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - TREAD WEAR
INDICATORS
Tread wear indicators are molded into the bottom
of the tread grooves. When tread depth is 1.6 mm
(1/16 in.), the tread wear indicators will appear as a
13 mm (1/2 in.) band (Fig. 14).
Tire replacement is necessary when indicators
appear in two or more grooves or if localized balding
occurs.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - TIRE WEAR
PATTERNS

Fig. 14 Tread Wear Indicators
1 - TREAD ACCEPTABLE
2 - TREAD UNACCEPTABLE
3 - WEAR INDICATOR

Excessive toe-in or toe-out causes wear on the
tread edges and a feathered effect across the tread
(Fig. 15).

Under inflation will cause wear on the shoulders of
tire. Over inflation will cause wear at the center of tire.
Excessive camber causes the tire to run at an
angle to the road. One side of tread is then worn
more than the other (Fig. 15).

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

Install wheel on vehicle, and tighten to proper
torque specification, (Refer to 22 - TIRES/WHEELS/
WHEELS - SPECIFICATIONS).

STANDARD PROCEDURE - REPAIRING LEAKS
For proper repairing, a radial tire must be removed
from the wheel. Repairs should only be made if the
defect, or puncture, is in the tread area (Fig. 16). The
tire should be replaced if the puncture is located in
the sidewall.
Deflate tire completely before removing the tire
from the wheel. Use lubrication such as a mild soap
solution when dismounting or mounting tire. Use
tools free of burrs or sharp edges which could damage the tire or wheel rim.
Before mounting tire on wheel, make sure all rust
is removed from the rim bead and repaint if necessary.

complete details.

WHEELS
DESCRIPTION
Original equipment wheels are designed for the
specified Maximum Vehicle Capacity.
All models use steel or cast aluminum drop center
wheels.
Cast aluminum wheels require special balance
weights and alignment equipment.
Ram Truck Models equipped with dual rear wheels
have eight-stud hole rear wheels. The wheels have a
flat mounting surface (Fig. 17). The slots in the
wheel must be aligned to provide access to the valve
stem (Fig. 18).

OPERATION
The wheel (Fig. 19) has raised sections between
the rim flanges and the rim well. Initial inflation of
the tire forces the bead over these raised sections. In
case of tire failure, the raised sections hold the tire
in position on the wheel until the vehicle can be
brought to a safe stop.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
WHEEL INSPECTION
Inspect wheels for:
• Excessive run out
• Dents or cracks
• Damaged wheel lug nut holes
• Air Leaks from any area or surface of the rim

The dual rear wheel lug nuts should be tightened
according to the following procedure:
• Place two drops of oil to the interface of the nut/
washer (Fig. 20) before installing on the wheel stud.
NOTE: Do not use more then two drops of oil on
the nut/washer, since the center caps attach in this
area.

NOTE: Do not attempt to repair a wheel by hammering, heating or welding.
If a wheel is damaged an original equipment
replacement wheel should be used. When obtaining
replacement wheels, they should be equivalent in
load carrying capacity. The diameter, width, offset,
pilot hole and bolt circle of the wheel should be the
same as the original wheel.
WARNING: FAILURE TO USE EQUIVALENT REPLACEMENT WHEELS MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT THE
SAFETY AND HANDLING OF THE VEHICLE. USED
WHEELS ARE NOT RECOMMENDED. THE SERVICE
HISTORY OF THE WHEEL MAY HAVE INCLUDED
SEVERE TREATMENT OR VERY HIGH MILEAGE. THE
RIM COULD FAIL WITHOUT WARNING.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - DUAL REAR WHEEL
INSTALLATION
Dual rear wheels use a special heavy duty lug nut
wrench. It is recommended to remove and install dual
rear wheels only when the proper wrench is available.
The wrench is also use to remove wheel center caps for
more information refer to Owner’s Manual.
The tires on both wheels must be completely raised
off the ground when tightening the lug nuts. This
will ensure correct wheel centering and maximum
wheel clamping.
A two piece flat face lug nut with right-hand
threads is used for retaining the wheels on the hubs
(Fig. 20).

• Tighten the wheel lug nuts in the numbered
sequential pattern until they are snug tight. Then
tighten lug nut to specified torque following same
number sequence, (Refer to 22 - TIRES/WHEELS/
WHEELS - SPECIFICATIONS).
• Tighten lug nuts in same numbered sequence a
second time to the specified torque. This will ensure
that the wheels are thoroughly mated.
• Check lug nut specified torque after 100 miles

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WATER LEAKS
Water leaks can be caused by poor sealing,
improper body component alignment, body seam
porosity, missing plugs, or blocked drain holes. Centrifugal and gravitational force can cause water to
drip from a location away from the actual leak point,
making leak detection difficult. All body sealing
points should be water tight in normal wet-driving
conditions. Water flowing downward from the front of
the vehicle should not enter the passenger or luggage
compartment. Moving sealing surfaces will not
always seal water tight under all conditions. At
times, side glass or door seals will allow water to
enter the passenger compartment during high pressure washing or hard driving rain (severe) conditions.
Overcompensating
on
door
or
glass
adjustments to stop a water leak that occurs under
severe conditions can cause premature seal wear and
excessive closing or latching effort. After completing
a repair, water test vehicle to verify leak has stopped
before returning vehicle to use.

VISUAL INSPECTION BEFORE WATER LEAK TESTS
Verify that floor and body plugs are in place, body
drains are clear, and body components are properly
aligned and sealed. If component alignment or sealing is necessary, refer to the appropriate section of
this group for proper procedures.

WATER LEAK TESTS
WARNING: DO NOT USE ELECTRIC SHOP LIGHTS
OR TOOLS IN WATER TEST AREA. PERSONAL
INJURY CAN RESULT.
When the conditions causing a water leak have
been determined, simulate the conditions as closely
as possible.
• If a leak occurs with the vehicle parked in a
steady light rain, flood the leak area with an openended garden hose.

• If a leak occurs while driving at highway speeds
in a steady rain, test the leak area with a reasonable
velocity stream or fan spray of water. Direct the
spray in a direction comparable to actual conditions.
• If a leak occurs when the vehicle is parked on an
incline, hoist the end or side of the vehicle to simulate this condition. This method can be used when
the leak occurs when the vehicle accelerates, stops or
turns. If the leak occurs on acceleration, hoist the
front of the vehicle. If the leak occurs when braking,
hoist the back of the vehicle. If the leak occurs on left
turns, hoist the left side of the vehicle. If the leak
occurs on right turns, hoist the right side of the vehicle. For hoisting recommendations refer to Group 0,
Lubrication and Maintenance, General Information
section.

WATER LEAK DETECTION
To detect a water leak point-of-entry, do a water
test and watch for water tracks or droplets forming
on the inside of the vehicle. If necessary, remove interior trim covers or panels to gain visual access to the
leak area. If the hose cannot be positioned without
being held, have someone help do the water test.
Some water leaks must be tested for a considerable
length of time to become apparent. When a leak
appears, find the highest point of the water track or
drop. The highest point usually will show the point of
entry. After leak point has been found, repair the
leak and water test to verify that the leak has
stopped.
Locating the entry point of water that is leaking
into a cavity between panels can be difficult. The
trapped water may splash or run from the cavity,
often at a distance from the entry point. Most water
leaks of this type become apparent after accelerating,
stopping, turning, or when on an incline.
MIRROR INSPECTION METHOD
When a leak point area is visually obstructed, use
a suitable mirror to gain visual access. A mirror can
also be used to deflect light to a limited-access area
to assist in locating a leak point.

BRIGHT LIGHT LEAK TEST METHOD
Some water leaks in the luggage compartment can
be detected without water testing. Position the vehicle in a brightly lit area. From inside the darkened
luggage compartment inspect around seals and body
seams. If necessary, have a helper direct a drop light
over the suspected leak areas around the luggage
compartment. If light is visible through a normally
sealed location, water could enter through the opening.
PRESSURIZED LEAK TEST METHOD
When a water leak into the passenger compartment cannot be detected by water testing, pressurize
the passenger compartment and soap test exterior of
the vehicle. To pressurize the passenger compartment, close all doors and windows, start engine, and
set heater control to high blower in HEAT position. If
engine can not be started, connect a charger to the
battery to ensure adequate voltage to the blower.
With interior pressurized, apply dish detergent solution to suspected leak area on the exterior of the
vehicle. Apply detergent solution with spray device or
soft bristle brush. If soap bubbles occur at a body
seam, joint, seal or gasket, the leak entry point could
be at that location.

cross winds. Over compensating on door or glass
adjustments to stop wind noise that occurs under
severe conditions can cause premature seal wear and
excessive closing or latching effort. After a repair procedure has been performed, test vehicle to verify
noise has stopped before returning vehicle to use.
Wind noise can also be caused by improperly fitted
exterior moldings or body ornamentation. Loose
moldings can flutter, creating a buzzing or chattering
noise. An open cavity or protruding edge can create a
whistling or howling noise. Inspect the exterior of the
vehicle to verify that these conditions do not exist.

VISUAL INSPECTION BEFORE TESTS
Verify that floor and body plugs are in place and
body components are aligned and sealed. If component alignment or sealing is necessary, refer to the
appropriate section of this group for proper procedures.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIND NOISE

ROAD TESTING WIND NOISE
(1) Drive the vehicle to verify the general location
of the wind noise.
(2) Apply 50 mm (2 in.) masking tape in 150 mm
(6 in.) lengths along weatherstrips, weld seams or
moldings. After each length is applied, drive the vehicle. If noise goes away after a piece of tape is applied,
remove tape, locate, and repair defect.

Wind noise is the result of most air leaks. Air leaks
can be caused by poor sealing, improper body component alignment, body seam porosity, or missing plugs
in the engine compartment or door hinge pillar areas.
All body sealing points should be airtight in normal
driving conditions. Moving sealing surfaces will not
always seal airtight under all conditions. At times,
side glass or door seals will allow wind noise to be
noticed in the passenger compartment during high

POSSIBLE CAUSE OF WIND NOISE
• Moldings standing away from body surface can
catch wind and whistle.
• Gaps in sealed areas behind overhanging body
flanges can cause wind-rushing sounds.
• Misaligned movable components.
• Missing or improperly installed plugs in pillars.
• Weld burn through holes.

surface is not smooth, wet sand with 600 grit wet/dry
sand paper until surface is smooth. Ripples and
feather edging will read through overlay if surface is
not properly prepared. Clean all residue from surface.
Installation equipment:
• Pail filled with mild dish soap solution.
• Lint free applicator cloth or sponge.
• Body putty applicator squeegee.
• Heat gun or sun lamp.
• Razor knife.
(1) Spread replacement tape stripe overlay across
a smooth flat work surface, finish side down.
(2) Peel paper backing away from overlay exposing
adhesive back of overlay.
(3) Apply soap solution liberally to adhesive back
of overlay.
(4) Apply soap solution liberally to body panel surface.
(5) Place overlay into position on body panel.
Smooth out wrinkles by pulling lightly on edges of
overlay until it lays flat on painted surface.
(6) Push air pockets from under overlay to the
perimeter of the panel from the center of the overlay
out.
(7) Squeegee soap solution and air bubbles from
behind overlay from the center of the panel out using
a body putty applicator squeegee (Fig. 5).
CAUTION: Do not cut into painted surface of body
panel when trimming overlay to size.
(8) Trim overlay to size using a razor knife. Leave
at least 13 mm (0.5 in.) for edges of doors and openings.
CAUTION: Do not overheat overlay when performing step 9.
(9) Apply heat to overlay to evaporate residual
moisture from edges of overlay and to allow overlay
to be stretched into concave surfaces.
(10) Edge turn overlay around doors or fenders.
(11) Install exterior trim if necessary.
(12) Small air or water bubbles under overlay can
be pierced with a pin and smoothed out.

INSTRUMENT PANEL SYSTEM

tion block, Central Timer Module (CTM), accessory
switches, ash receiver, cigar lighter, accessory power
outlet, park brake release handle, inside hood release
handle, as well as numerous other components are
secured to and supported by this unit.
The instrument panel for this vehicle includes the
following major features:
• Cluster Bezel - This molded plastic bezel is
secured with snap clips to the instrument panel supporting structure. It trims out the edges of the headlamp switch, instrument cluster, radio, heater-air
conditioner controls, passenger airbag on-off switch,
and the heated seat switches on vehicles so equipped.
On vehicles without the heated seat option, a small
storage cubby bin is provided in the cluster bezel.
This bezel also incorporates three completely adjustable panel outlets for the climate control system, and
fills the opening between the instrument cluster and
the top of the steering column where it passes
through the instrument panel.
• Cup Holder/Storage Bin - Vehicles equipped
with an automatic transmission feature a latching
fold-down, adjustable cup holder located on the lower
instrument panel between the glove box and the ash
receiver. Vehicles equipped with a manual transmission have a lighted storage bin on the instrument
panel in place of the cup holder.

DESCRIPTION
The instrument panel is located at the front of the
passenger compartment. This instrument panel is
molded from a blend of various plastics that are
mechanically attached to the vehicle. Colors are
molded into the plastic components to minimize
appearance degradation from scratches or abrasions.
The panel components are internally ribbed and riveted to steel reinforcements for additional structural
integrity and dimensional stability. The instrument
panel surface components are designed to deform
upon impact without breaking. This type of construction provides improved energy absorption which, in
conjunction with the dual airbags and seat belts,
helps to improve occupant protection.
The top of the instrument panel is secured to the
top of the dash panel near the base of the windshield
using screws. An end bracket integral to each end of
the instrument panel structure is secured to each
cowl side inner panel with a screw. A stamped metal
bracket supports the center of the instrument panel
by securing it to the top of the floor panel transmission tunnel below the instrument panel with screws.
The instrument cluster, radio, heater-air conditioner
control, passenger airbag, glove box, electrical junc-

INSTRUMENT PANEL SYSTEM (Continued)
• Glove Box - The hinged bin-type glove box in
the passenger side of the instrument panel features a
recessed paddle-operated latch handle. Three molded
hook formations on the lower edge of the glove box
door are engaged with and pivot on three hinge pins
integral to the lower edge of the instrument panel
support structure. The glove box door also serves as
the passenger side knee blocker. A honeycomb structure between the inner and outer glove box door panels helps to absorb the impact load and distribute it
to the instrument panel structure.
• Steering Column Opening Cover - The steering column opening cover serves as the driver side
knee blocker. This molded plastic cover has an integral ribbed plastic liner concealed behind it, for
increased strength and integrity. The steering column
opening cover transfers impact loads to the instrument panel structural support.
• Top Cover - The instrument panel top cover or
base trim is the molded, grained, and color impregnated plastic outer skin of the instrument panel
structural support.
Hard wired circuitry connects the electrical components on the instrument panel to each other through
the electrical system of the vehicle. These hard wired
circuits are integral to several wire harnesses, which
are routed throughout the vehicle and retained by
many different methods. These circuits may be connected to each other, to the vehicle electrical system
and to the instrument panel components through the
use of a combination of soldered splices, splice block
connectors and many different types of wire harness
terminal connectors and insulators. Refer to the
appropriate wiring information. The wiring information includes complete circuit diagrams, proper wire
and connector repair procedures, further details on
wire harness routing and retention, as well as pinout and location views for the various wire harness
connectors, splices, and grounds.

OPERATION
The instrument panel serves as the command center of the vehicle, which necessarily makes it a very
complex unit. The instrument panel is designed to
house the controls and monitors for standard and
optional powertrains, climate control systems, audio
systems, safety systems, and many other comfort or
convenience items. When the components of the
instrument panel structural support are properly
assembled and secured in the vehicle they provide
superior instrument panel stiffness and integrity to
help reduce buzzes, squeaks, and rattles. This type of
construction also provides improved energy absorption which, in conjunction with the dual airbags and
seat belts, helps to improve occupant protection.

The instrument panel is also designed so that all of
the various controls can be safely reached and the
monitors can be easily viewed by the vehicle operator
when driving, while still allowing relative ease of
access to each of these items for service. Modular
instrument panel construction allows all of the
gauges and controls to be serviced from the front of
the panel. In addition, most of the instrument panel
electrical components can be accessed without complete instrument panel removal. However, if necessary, the instrument panel can be removed from the
vehicle as an assembly.
The steering column opening cover with its integral knee blocker located on the driver side of the
instrument panel works in conjunction with the airbag system in a frontal vehicle impact to keep the
driver properly positioned for an airbag deployment.
In addition, removal of this component provides
access to the steering column mounts, the steering
column wiring, the Junction Block (JB) (removal of a
snap-fit fuse access panel on the left end of the
instrument panel allows access to the fuses and circuit breakers), the Central Timer Module (CTM), the
Infinity speaker filter choke and relay unit, much of
the instrument panel wiring, and the gear selector
indicator cable (automatic transmission).
In a frontal collision, the glove box door on the passenger side of the instrument panel provides the
same function for the front seat passenger as the
knee blocker does for the driver. The glove box door
also incorporates a recessed latch handle. Removal of
the glove box provides access to the passenger airbag,
the glove box lamp and switch, the radio antenna
coaxial cable, the heating and air conditioning vacuum harness connector, and additional instrument
panel wiring.
Removal of the instrument panel cluster bezel
allows access to the headlamp switch, instrument
cluster, radio, passenger airbag on-off switch, heated
seat switches (if equipped), and the heating and air
conditioning control. Removal of the instrument cluster allows access to the cluster illumination and indicator bulbs, and more of the instrument panel
wiring. Complete instrument panel removal is
required for service of most components internal to
the heating and air conditioning system housing,
including the heater core and the evaporator.
See the owner’s manual in the vehicle glove box for
more information on the features, use and operation
of all of the components and systems mounted on or
in the instrument panel.

DESCRIPTION
The original equipment finish is a multi-step process that involves cleaning, electrodeposition (e-coat),
base coat, and clear coat steps. Additionally, selected
areas of the vehicle may be coated with an anti-chip
finish.

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

PAINT TOUCH-UP
DESCRIPTION
When a painted metal surface has been scratched
or chipped, it should be touched-up as soon as possible to avoid corrosion. For best results, use Mopart
Scratch Filler/Primer, Touch-Up Paints and Clear Top
Coat. Refer to Introduction group of this manual for
Body Code Plate information.
WARNING: USE AN OSHA APPROVED BREATHING
FILTER WHEN SPRAYING PAINT OR SOLVENTS IN
A CONFINED AREA. PERSONAL INJURY CAN
RESULT.

OPERATION
(1) Scrape loose paint and corrosion from inside
scratch or chip.
(2) Clean affected area with Mopart Tar/Road Oil
Remover, and allow to dry.
(3) Fill the inside of the scratch or chip with a coat
of filler/primer. Do not overlap primer onto good surface finish. The applicator brush should be wet
enough to puddle-fill the defect without running. Do
not stroke brush applicator on body surface. Allow
the filler/primer to dry hard.
(4) Cover the filler/primer with color touch-up
paint. Do not overlap touch-up color onto the original
color coat around the scratch or chip. Butt the new
color to the original color, if possible. Do not stroke
applicator brush on body surface. Allow touch-up
paint to dry hard.

BR/BE

(5) On vehicles without clear coat, the touch-up
color can be lightly finesse sanded (1500 grit) and
polished with rubbing compound.
(6) On vehicles with clear coat, apply clear top coat
to touch-up paint with the same technique as
described in Step 4. Allow clear top coat to dry hard.
If desired, Step 5 can be performed on clear top coat.
WARNING: AVOID PROLONGED SKIN CONTACT
WITH PETROLEUM OR ALCOHOL – BASED CLEANING SOLVENTS. PERSONAL INJURY CAN RESULT.
AVOID PROLONGED SKIN CONTACT WITH PETROLEUM OR ALCOHOL – BASED CLEANING SOLVENTS. PERSONAL INJURY CAN RESULT.

WET SANDING/BUFFING &
POLISHING
DESCRIPTION
Minor acid etching, orange peel, or smudging in
clear coat or single-stage finishes can be reduced
with light finesse sanding, hand buffing, and polishing. If the finish has been finesse sanded in the
past, it cannot be repeated. Finesse sanding
operation should be performed by a trained
automotive paint technician.
CAUTION: Do not remove clear coat finish, if
equipped. Base coat paint must retain clear coat for
durability.

STATIONARY GLASS
DESCRIPTION
Windshields are made of two pieces of glass with a
plastic inner layer. Windshields and selected stationary glass are structural members of the vehicle. The
windshield glass is bonded to the windshield frame
with urethane adhesive.

OPERATION
Windshields and other stationary glass protect the
occupants from the effects of the elements. Windshields are also used to retain some airbags in position during deployment. Urethane bonded glass is
difficult to salvage during removal. The urethane
bonding is difficult to cut or clean from any surface.
Before removing the glass, check the availability of
replacement components.

(1) Roll down door glass.
(2) Remove headliner. (Refer to 23 - BODY/INTERIOR/HEADLINER - REMOVAL).
(3) Remove rear closer panel trim. (Refer to 23 BODY/INTERIOR/REAR CLOSURE PANEL TRIM REMOVAL).
(4) Bend backlite retaining tabs (Fig. 1) inward
against glass.
(5) Using a suitable pneumatic knife from inside
the vehicle, cut urethane holding backlite frame to
opening fence.
(6) Separate glass from vehicle.

BACKLITE
REMOVAL
It is difficult to salvage the backlite during the
removal operation. The backlite is part of the structural support for the roof. The urethane bonding
used to secure the glass to the fence is difficult to cut
or clean from any surface. Since the molding is set in
urethane, it is unlikely it would be salvaged. Before
removing the backlite, check the availability from the
parts supplier.
The backlite is attached to the window frame with
urethane adhesive. The urethane adhesive is applied
cold and seals the surface area between the window
opening and the glass. The primer adheres the urethane adhesive to the backlite.

WARNING: Allow the urethane at least 24 hours to
cure before returning the vehicle to use.
CAUTION: Roll down the left and right front door
glass and open the rear glass slider (if available)
before installing windshield to avoid pressurizing
the passenger compartment if a door is slammed
before urethane is cured. Water leaks can result.
The windshield fence should be cleaned of most of its
old urethane bonding material. A small amount of old
urethane, approximately 1-2 mm in height, should

remain on the fence. Do not grind off or completely
remove all old urethane from the fence, the paint finish
and bonding strength will be adversely affected.
(1) Place replacement windshield into windshield
opening and position glass in the center of the opening against the support spacers. Mark the outside
surface of the glass at the support spacers with a
grease pencil or pieces of masking tape and ink pen
to use as a reference for installation. Remove replacement windshield from windshield opening (Fig. 9).
(2) Position the windshield inside up on a suitable
work surface with two padded, wood 10 cm by 10 cm
by 50 cm (4 in. by 4 in. by 20 in.) blocks, placed parallel 75 cm (2.5 ft.) apart (Fig. 10).
(3) Clean inside of windshield with MOPAR Glass
Cleaner and lint-free cloth.
(4) Apply clear glass primer 25 mm (1 in.) wide
around perimeter of windshield and wipe with a new
clean and dry lint- free cloth.
(5) Apply the molding to the windshield:
(a) Press the upper corners of the molding onto
the windshield.
(b) Press the header section onto the windshield.
(c) Press the A-Pillar sections onto the windshield.
(6) Apply black-out primer onto the glass using the
windshield molding as a guide. The primer should be
15 mm (5/8 in.) wide on the top and sides of the glass
and 25 mm (1 in.) on the bottom of windshield. Allow
at least three minutes drying time.
(7) Locate new support spacers on support brackets and adjust to lowest height.
(8) Position one 5 mm (3/16 in.) soft spacer (p/n
55028214) at the bottom of the windshield fence (Fig. 11).
(9) Apply a 13mm (1/2 in.) high and 10mm (3/8 in.)
wide bead of urethane around the perimeter of windshield. At the bottom, apply the bead 7 mm (1/4 in.)
inboard from the glass edge. On the three sides
where the molding is on the glass, follow the edge of
molding. The urethane bead should be shaped in a
triangular cross-section, this can be achieved by
notching the tip of the applicator (Fig. 12).
(10) With the aid of a helper, position the windshield over the windshield opening. Align the reference marks at the bottom of the windshield to the
support spacers.

CONDITIONER
All vehicles are equipped with a common HVAC
housing assembly (Fig. 1). The system combines air
conditioning, heating, and ventilating capabilities in
a single unit housing mounted under the instrument
panel. On heater-only systems, the evaporator coil
and recirculation door are omitted from the housing.

The engine cooling system includes the heater core
and the heater hoses. Refer to Engine Cooling for
more information before the opening of, or attempting any service to the engine cooling system.

DESCRIPTION - REFRIGERANT SYSTEM
SERVICE PORT
The two refrigerant system service ports are used
to charge, recover/recycle, evacuate, and test the air
conditioning refrigerant system. Unique service port
coupler sizes are used on the R-134a system, to
ensure that the refrigerant system is not accidentally
contaminated by the use of the wrong refrigerant
(R-12), or refrigerant system service equipment.

The heater and optional air conditioner are blendair type systems. In a blend-air system, a blend door
controls the amount of unconditioned air (or cooled
air from the evaporator on models with air conditioning) that is allowed to flow through, or around, the
heater core. A temperature control knob on the A/C
Heater control panel determines the discharge air
temperature by controlling an electric actuator,
which moves the blend door. This allows an almost
immediate control of the output air temperature of
the system.
The mode control knob on the heater-only or A/C
Heater control panel is used to direct the conditioned
air to the selected system outlets. Both mode control
switches use engine vacuum to control the mode
doors, which are operated by vacuum actuators.
On air conditioned vehicles, the outside air intake
can be shut off by selecting the Recirculation Mode
with the mode control knob. This will operate a vacuum actuated recirculation door that closes off the
outside fresh air intake and recirculates the air that
is already inside the vehicle.

HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING

BR/BE

HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING (Continued)
The optional air conditioner for all models is
designed for the use of non-CFC, R-134a refrigerant.
The air conditioning system has an evaporator to cool
and dehumidify the incoming air prior to blending it
with the heated air. This air conditioning system
uses a fixed orifice tube in the middle of the liquid
line to meter refrigerant flow to the evaporator coil.
To maintain minimum evaporator temperature and
prevent evaporator freezing, the a/c low pressure
switch on the accumulator cycles the compressor
clutch.

OPERATION - REFRIGERANT SYSTEM SERVICE
PORT
The high pressure service port is located on the liquid line between the condenser and the evaporator,
near the front of the engine compartment. The low
pressure service port is located on the suction line,
near the accumulator outlet.
Each of the service ports has a threaded plastic
protective cap installed over it from the factory. After
servicing the refrigerant system, always reinstall
both of the service port caps.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - A/C
PERFORMANCE
The air conditioning system is designed to provide
the passenger compartment with low temperature
and low humidity air. The evaporator, located in the
HVAC housing on the dash panel below the instrument panel, is cooled to temperatures near the freezing point. As warm damp air passes through the
cooled evaporator, the air transfers its heat to the
refrigerant in the evaporator tubes and the moisture
in the air condenses on the evaporator fins. During
periods of high heat and humidity, an air conditioning system will be more effective in the recirculation
mode (Max-A/C). With the system in the recirculation
mode, only air from the passenger compartment
passes through the evaporator. As the passenger compartment air dehumidifies, the air conditioning system performance levels improve.
Humidity has an important bearing on the temperature of the air delivered to the interior of the vehicle. It is important to understand the effect that
humidity has on the performance of the air conditioning system. When humidity is high, the evaporator
has to perform a double duty. It must lower the air
temperature, and it must lower the temperature of
the moisture in the air that condenses on the evaporator fins. Condensing the moisture in the air transfers heat energy into the evaporator fins and tubing.

This reduces the amount of heat the evaporator can
absorb from the air. High humidity greatly reduces
the ability of the evaporator to lower the temperature
of the air.
However, evaporator capacity used to reduce the
amount of moisture in the air is not wasted. Wringing some of the moisture out of the air entering the
vehicle adds to the comfort of the passengers.
Although, an owner may expect too much from their
air conditioning system on humid days. A performance test is the best way to determine whether the
system is performing up to standard. This test also
provides valuable clues as to the possible cause of
trouble with the air conditioning system.
Before proceeding, (Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR
CONDITIONING/PLUMBING - WARNING) and
(Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING/
PLUMBING - CAUTION). The air temperature in
the test room and in the vehicle must be a minimum
of 21° C (70° F) for this test.
(1) Connect a tachometer and a manifold gauge
set.
(2) Set the a/c heater mode control switch knob to
the recirculation mode (Max-A/C) position, the temperature control knob to the full cool position, and
the blower motor switch to the highest speed position.
(3) Start the engine and hold the idle speed at
1,000 rpm with the compressor clutch engaged. If the
compressor clutch does not engage, (Refer to 24 HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING/CONTROLS/A/C
COMPRESSOR CLUTCH COIL - DIAGNOSIS AND
TESTING).
(4) The engine should be at operating temperature.
The doors and windows must be closed and the hood
must be mostly closed.
(5) Insert a thermometer in the driver side center
A/C (panel) outlet. Operate the engine for five minutes.
(6) The compressor clutch may cycle, depending
upon the ambient temperature and humidity. If the
clutch cycles, unplug the a/c low pressure switch wire
harness connector from the switch located on the
accumulator (Fig. 2). Place a jumper wire between
the two cavities of the a/c low pressure switch wire
harness connector.

If the floor outlet air temperature is too low, refer
to Cooling to check the engine coolant temperature
specifications. Both of the heater hoses should be hot
to the touch. The coolant return heater hose should
be slightly cooler than the coolant supply heater
hose. If the return hose is much cooler than the supply hose, locate and repair the engine coolant flow
obstruction in the cooling system. Refer to Cooling
for the procedures.
An alternate method of checking heater performance is to use a DRBIIIt scan tool to monitor the
engine coolant temperature. The floor outlet air temperature reading should be no more than 4.5° C (40°
F) lower than the engine coolant temperature reading.
OBSTRUCTED COOLANT FLOW Possible locations or causes of obstructed coolant flow:
• Faulty water pump.
• Faulty thermostat.
• Pinched or kinked heater hoses.
• Improper heater hose routing.
• Plugged heater hoses or supply and return ports
at the cooling system connections.
• A plugged heater core.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - VACUUM SYSTEM
Vacuum control is used to operate the mode doors
in the heater-only and HVAC housings. Testing of the
heater-only and a/c heater mode control switch operation will determine if the vacuum, electrical, and
mechanical controls are functioning. However, it is
possible that a vacuum control system that operates
perfectly at engine idle (high engine vacuum) may
not function properly at high engine speeds or loads
(low engine vacuum). This can be caused by leaks in
the vacuum system, or by a faulty or improperly
installed vacuum check valve.
A vacuum system test will help to identify the
source of poor vacuum system performance or vacuum system leaks. Before starting this test, stop the
engine and make certain that the problem is not a
disconnected vacuum supply tube at the engine vacuum source or the vacuum reservoir.
Use an adjustable vacuum test set (Special Tool
C-3707) and a suitable vacuum pump to test the
HVAC vacuum control system. With a finger placed
over the end of the vacuum test hose probe (Fig. 1),
adjust the bleed valve on the test set gauge to obtain
a vacuum of exactly 27 kPa (8 in. Hg.). Release and
block the end of the probe several times to verify that
the vacuum reading returns to the exact 27 kPa (8
in. Hg.) setting. Otherwise, a false reading will be
obtained during testing.

BR/BE

VACUUM CHECK VALVE
(1) Remove the vacuum check valve. On gasoline
engines, one valve is located in the vacuum supply
tube (black) at the intake manifold tap on the right
side of the engine. A second check valve is located
next to the tee fitting in the vacuum supply tube
(black) near the dash panel in the engine compartment. On diesel engines, the vacuum check valve is
integral to the engine vacuum pump nipple and is
threaded into the vacuum pump. The vacuum check
valve must be removed in order to perform the following tests. (Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING/CONTROLS/VACUUM CHECK VALVE REMOVAL)
(2) Connect the test set vacuum supply hose to the
a/c heater control side of the valve. When connected
to this side of the check valve, no vacuum should
pass and the test set gauge should return to the 27
kPa (8 in. Hg.) setting. If OK, go to step Step 3. If
not OK, replace the faulty valve.
(3) Connect the test set vacuum supply hose to the
engine vacuum side of the valve. When connected to
this side of the check valve, vacuum should flow
through the valve without restriction. If not OK,
replace the faulty valve.

A/C HEATER CONTROLS
(1) Connect the test set vacuum probe to the
HVAC vacuum supply (black) tube in the engine compartment. Position the test set gauge so that it can
be viewed from the passenger compartment.
(2) Place the a/c heater mode control switch knob
to each mode position, one position at a time, and
pause after each selection. The test set gauge should
return to the 27 kPa (8 in. Hg.) setting shortly after
each selection is made. If not OK, a component or
vacuum line in the vacuum circuit of the selected
mode has a leak. See Locating Vacuum Leaks below.
CAUTION: Do not use lubricant on the switch ports
or in the holes in the plug, as lubricant will ruin the
vacuum valve in the switch. A drop of clean water
in the connector plug holes will help the connector
slide onto the switch ports.

(1) Disconnect the vacuum harness connector
located between the a/c heater control and the HVAC
housing under the instrument panel.
(2) Connect the test set vacuum hose probe to each
port in the HVAC housing half of the vacuum harness connector, one port at a time, and pause after
each connection (Fig. 2). The test set gauge should
return to the 27 kPa (8 in. Hg.) setting shortly after
each connection is made. If OK, replace the faulty a/c
heater control. If not OK, go to step Step 3.

(3) Determine the vacuum line color of the vacuum
circuit that is leaking. To determine the vacuum line
colors, see the Vacuum Circuits chart (Fig. 3).
(4) Disconnect and plug the vacuum line from the
component (fitting, actuator, valve, switch, or reservoir) on the other end of the leaking circuit. Instrument panel disassembly or removal may be necessary
to gain access to some components. Refer to Instrument Panel System for the procedures.
(5) Connect the test set hose or probe to the open
end of the leaking circuit. The test set gauge should
return to the 27 kPa (8 in. Hg.) setting shortly after
each connection is made. If OK, replace the faulty
disconnected component. If not OK, go to Step 6.
(6) To locate a leak in a vacuum line, leave one
end of the line plugged and connect the test set hose
or probe to the other end of the line. Run your fingers slowly along the line while watching the test set
gauge. The vacuum reading will fluctuate when your
fingers contact the source of the leak. To repair the
vacuum line, cut out the leaking section of the line.
Then, insert the loose ends of the line into a suitable
length of 3 millimeter (0.125 inch) inside diameter
rubber hose.

OPERATION
The compressor clutch assembly provides the
means to engage and disengage the compressor from
the engine serpentine accessory drive belt. When the
clutch coil is energized, it magnetically draws the
clutch into contact with the pulley and drives the
compressor shaft. When the coil is not energized, the
pulley freewheels on the clutch hub bearing, which is
part of the pulley. The compressor clutch and coil are
the only serviced parts on the compressor.
The compressor clutch engagement is controlled by
several components: the a/c heater mode control
switch, the a/c loss of charge switch, the a/c pressure
transducer, the compressor clutch relay, the evaporator temperature sensor and the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM). The PCM may delay compressor
clutch engagement for up to thirty seconds(Refer to 8
- ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES/POWERTRAIN
CONTROL
MODULE
DESCRIPTION).

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - A/C COMPRESSOR
CLUTCH COIL
For circuit descriptions and diagrams, (Refer to
Appropriate Wiring Information). The battery must
be fully-charged before performing the following
tests. Refer to Battery for more information.
(1) Connect an ammeter (0 to 10 ampere scale) in
series with the clutch coil terminal. Use a voltmeter
(0 to 20 volt scale) with clip-type leads for measuring
the voltage across the battery and the compressor
clutch coil.

(2) With the a/c heater mode control switch in any
A/C mode, and the blower motor switch in the lowest
speed position, start the engine and run it at normal
idle.
(3) The compressor clutch coil voltage should read
within 0.2 volts of the battery voltage. If there is
voltage at the clutch coil, but the reading is not
within 0.2 volts of the battery voltage, test the clutch
coil feed circuit for excessive voltage drop and repair
as required. If there is no voltage reading at the
clutch coil, use a DRB IIIt scan tool and (Refer to
Appropriate Diagnostic Information) for testing of the
compressor clutch circuit. The following components
must be checked and repaired as required before you
can complete testing of the clutch coil:
• Fuses in the junction block and the Power Distribution Center (PDC)
• A/C Heater mode control switch
• Compressor clutch relay
• A/C High Pressure Switch
• A/C Low Pressure Switch
• Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
(4) The compressor clutch coil is acceptable if the
current draw measured at the clutch coil is 2.0 to 3.9
amperes with the electrical system voltage at 11.5 to
12.5 volts. This should only be checked with the work
area temperature at 21° C (70° F). If system voltage
is more than 12.5 volts, add electrical loads by turning on electrical accessories until the system voltage
drops below 12.5 volts.
(a) If the clutch coil current reading is four
amperes or more, the coil is shorted and should be
replaced.
(b) If the clutch coil current reading is zero, the
coil is open and should be replaced.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - A/C COMPRESSOR
CLUTCH BREAK-IN
After a new compressor clutch has been installed,
cycle the compressor clutch approximately twenty
times (five seconds on, then five seconds off). During
this procedure, set the A/C Heater control to the
Recirculation Mode, the blower motor switch in the
highest speed position, and the engine speed at 1500
to 2000 rpm. This procedure (burnishing) will seat
the opposing friction surfaces and provide a higher
compressor clutch torque capability.

REMOVAL
The refrigerant system can remain fully-charged
during compressor clutch, pulley, or coil replacement.
The compressor clutch can be serviced in the vehicle.
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.

DESCRIPTION
The a/c high pressure switch is located on the discharge line near the compressor. The switch is
screwed onto a fitting that contains a Schrader-type
valve, which allows the switch to be serviced without
discharging the refrigerant system. The discharge
line fitting is equipped with an O-ring to seal the
switch connection.

OPERATION
The a/c high pressure switch is connected in series
electrically with the a/c low pressure switch between
ground and the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
The switch contacts open and close causing the PCM
to turn the compressor clutch on and off. This prevents compressor operation when the discharge line
pressure approaches high levels.
The a/c high pressure switch contacts are open
when the discharge line pressure rises above about

Before performing diagnosis of the a/c high pressure switch, verify that the refrigerant system has
the correct refrigerant charge. (Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING - DIAGNOSIS AND

A/C LOW PRESSURE SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The a/c low pressure switch is located on the top of
the accumulator. The switch is screwed onto an accumulator fitting that contains a Schrader-type valve,
which allows the switch to be serviced without discharging the refrigerant system. The accumulator fitting is equipped with an O-ring to seal the switch
connection.

OPERATION
The a/c low pressure switch is connected in series
electrically with the a/c high pressure switch and the
a/c heater control, between ground and the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The switch contacts
open and close causing the PCM to turn the compressor clutch on and off. This regulates the refrigerant
system pressure and controls evaporator temperature. Controlling evaporator temperature prevents
condensate water on the evaporator fins from freezing and obstructing air conditioning system air flow.
The a/c low pressure switch contacts are open
when the suction pressure is about 152-165 kPa
(22-24 psi) or lower. The switch contacts will close
when the suction pressure rises to about 255-296 kPa
(37-43 psi) or above. Lower ambient temperatures,
below about -1° C (30° F), will also cause the switch
contacts to open. This is due to the pressure/temperature relationship of the refrigerant in the system.
The a/c low pressure switch is a factory-calibrated
unit. It cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if faulty
or damaged, it must be replaced.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - A/C LOW
PRESSURE SWITCH
Before performing diagnosis of the a/c low pressure
switch, be certain that the switch is properly
installed on the accumulator fitting. If the switch is
too loose it may not open the Schrader-type valve in
the accumulator fitting, which will prevent the
switch from correctly monitoring the refrigerant system pressure. Also verify that the refrigerant system
has the correct refrigerant charge. (Refer to 24 -

HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING - DIAGNOSIS
AND TESTING - A/C PERFORMANCE)
Remember that lower ambient temperatures, below
about -1° C (30° F), during cold weather will open the
switch contacts and prevent compressor operation
due to the pressure/temperature relationship of the
refrigerant. For circuit descriptions and diagrams,
(Refer to Appropriate Wiring Information).
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Unplug the a/c low pressure switch wire harness connector from the switch on the accumulator
fitting.

CONDITIONING/PLUMBING - STANDARD PROCEDURE - REFRIGERANT SYSTEM SERVICE
EQUIPMENT)
(5) Connect the battery negative cable.
(6) Place the a/c heater mode control switch knob
in any A/C position and start the engine.
(7) Check for continuity between the two terminals
of the low pressure cycling clutch switch. There
should be continuity with a suction pressure reading
of 296 kPa (43 psi) or above, and no continuity with a
suction pressure reading of 172 kPa (25 psi) or below.
If OK, test and repair the A/C switch sense circuit as
required. If not OK, replace the faulty switch.

The blower motor relay (Fig. 21) is located in the
Power Distribution Center (PDC). Remove the blower
motor relay from the PDC to perform the following
tests:
(1) A relay in the de-energized position should
have continuity between terminals 87A and 30, and
no continuity between terminals 87 and 30. If OK, go
to Step 2. If not OK, replace the faulty relay.
(2) Resistance between terminals 85 and 86 (electromagnet) should be 75 ± 5 ohms. If OK, go to Step
3. If not OK, replace the faulty relay.
(3) Connect a battery to terminals 85 and 86.
There should now be continuity between terminals
30 and 87, and no continuity between terminals 87A
and 30. If OK, see Relay Circuit Test below. If not
OK, replace the faulty relay.

(4) Connect the battery negative cable.

BLOWER MOTOR RELAY
DESCRIPTION
The blower motor relay is an International Standards Organization (ISO)-type relay. The relay is an
electromechanical device that switches battery current from a fuse in the Power Distribution Center
(PDC) directly to the blower motor. The relay is energized when the relay coil is provided a voltage signal
by the ignition switch. This arrangement reduces the
amount of battery current that must flow through
the ignition switch.

OPERATION
The blower motor relay control circuit is protected
by a fuse located in the junction block. When the
relay is de-energized, the blower motor receives no
battery current.

(1) The relay common feed terminal cavity (30) is
connected to fused battery feed directly from a fuse
in the Power Distribution Center (PDC), and should
be hot at all times. Check for battery voltage at the
PDC cavity for relay terminal 30. If OK, go to Step 2.
If not OK, repair the open circuit to the PDC fuse as
required.
(2) The relay normally closed terminal cavity (87A)
is not used for this application. Go to Step 3.
(3) The relay normally open terminal cavity (87) is
connected to the blower motor. When the relay is
energized, terminal 87 is connected to terminal 30
and provides full battery current to the blower motor
feed circuit. There should be continuity between the
PDC cavity for terminal 87 and the blower motor
relay output circuit cavity of the blower motor wire
harness connector at all times. If OK, go to Step 4. If
not OK, repair the open circuit to the blower motor
as required.
(4) The coil battery terminal cavity (86) is connected to the ignition switch. When the ignition
switch is placed in the On position, fused ignition
switch output is directed from a fuse in the junction
block to the relay electromagnetic coil to energize the
relay. There should be battery voltage at the PDC
cavity for relay terminal 86 with the ignition switch
in the On position. If OK, go to Step 5. If not OK,
repair the open circuit to the junction block fuse as
required.
(5) The coil ground terminal cavity (85) is connected to ground. This terminal supplies the ground
for the relay electromagnetic coil. There should be
continuity between the PDC cavity for relay terminal
85 and a good ground at all times. If not OK, repair
the open circuit as required.

REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Remove the cover from the Power Distribution
Center (PDC) (Fig. 22).
(3) Refer to the label on the PDC for blower motor
relay identification and location.
(4) Unplug the blower motor relay from the PDC
and remove it.

INSTALLATION
(1) Install the blower motor relay by aligning the
relay terminals with the cavities in the PDC and
pushing the relay firmly into place.
(2) Install the PDC cover.
(3) Connect the battery negative cable.
(4) Test the relay operation.

BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR
BLOCK
DESCRIPTION
The blower motor resistor is mounted to the bottom of the HVAC housing, under the instrument
panel and just inboard of the blower motor. It can be
accessed without removing any other components.

OPERATION
The resistor has multiple resistor wires, each of
which will change the resistance in the blower motor
ground path to change the blower motor speed. The
blower motor switch directs the ground path through
the correct resistor wire to obtain the selected blower
motor speed.
With the blower motor switch in the lowest speed
position, the ground path for the motor is applied
through all of the resistor wires. Each higher speed
selected with the blower motor switch applies the
blower motor ground path through fewer of the resistor wires, increasing the blower motor speed. When
the blower motor switch is in the highest speed position, the blower motor resistor is bypassed and the
blower motor receives a direct path to ground.
The blower motor resistor cannot be repaired and,
if faulty or damaged, it must be replaced.

On models with a gasoline engine, a vacuum check
valve is installed in the accessory vacuum supply line
near the vacuum tap on the right side of the engine
intake manifold. On models with a diesel engine, a
vacuum check valve is installed on the engine vacuum pump. The vacuum check valve is designed to
allow vacuum to flow in only one direction through
the accessory vacuum supply circuits.

OPERATION
The use of a vacuum check valve helps to maintain
the system vacuum needed to retain the selected
HVAC mode and vehicle speed control settings. On
gasoline engine models, it prevents the engine from
bleeding down system vacuum through the intake
manifold during extended heavy engine load (low
engine vacuum) operation. On diesel engine models,
it prevents oil from contaminating the vacuum supply system by maintaining vacuum in the pump after
the engine is shut-off.
On gasoline engine models, a second vacuum check
valve is installed in the accessory vacuum supply line
at the tee fitting near the dash panel in the engine
compartment. This check valve also helps to maintain the system vacuum needed to retain the selected
HVAC mode settings, but isolates the HVAC vacuum
circuit from the vehicle speed control vacuum circuit.
It prevents the vehicle speed control servo from
bleeding down the HVAC system vacuum during
extended heavy engine load operation.
The vacuum check valve cannot be repaired and, if
faulty or damaged, it must be replaced.

DISTRIBUTION
DESCRIPTION - HVAC SYSTEM AIRFLOW
Outside air enters the vehicle through the cowl top
opening at the base of the windshield, and passes
through a plenum chamber to the HVAC system
blower housing (Fig. 1). Air flow velocity can then be
adjusted with the blower motor switch on the a/c
heater control panel. The air intake openings must
be kept free of snow, ice, leaves, and other obstructions for the HVAC system to receive a sufficient volume of outside air.
It is also important to keep the air intake openings
clear of debris because leaf particles and other debris
that is small enough to pass through the cowl plenum screen can accumulate within the HVAC housing. The closed, warm, damp and dark environment
created within the HVAC housing is ideal for the
growth of certain molds, mildews and other fungi.
Any accumulation of decaying plant matter provides
an additional food source for fungal spores, which
enter the housing with the fresh air. Excess debris,
as well as objectionable odors created by decaying
plant matter and growing fungi can be discharged
into the passenger compartment during HVAC system operation.

the glove box. The blower motor controls the velocity
of the air flowing through the HVAC housing by spinning a squirrel cage-type blower wheel within the
housing at the selected speed. The blower motor and
blower wheel can be serviced from the passenger
compartment side of the housing.

(2) Remove the barrel from the panel outlet housing.

The blower motor will only operate when the ignition switch is in the On position, and the a/c heater
mode control switch knob is in any position, except
Off. The blower motor receives a fused battery feed
through the blower motor relay whenever the ignition switch is in the On position.
The blower motor battery feed circuit is protected
by a fuse in the Power Distribution Center (PDC).
The blower motor relay control circuit is protected by
a fuse in the junction block. Blower motor speed is
controlled by regulating the ground path through the
a/c heater mode control switch, the blower motor
switch, and the blower motor resistor.
The blower motor and blower wheel cannot be
repaired and, if faulty or damaged, they must be
replaced. The blower motor and blower wheel may be
serviced separately, although if the motor is to be
replaced, a blower wheel will come as part of a prebalanced assembly.

The refrigerant lines and hoses are used to carry
the refrigerant between the various air conditioning
system components. A barrier hose design with a
nylon tube, which is sandwiched between rubber layers, is used for the R-134a air conditioning system on
this vehicle. This nylon tube helps to further contain
the R-134a refrigerant, which has a smaller molecular structure than R-12 refrigerant. The ends of the
refrigerant hoses are made from lightweight aluminum or steel, and commonly use braze-less fittings.

PLUMBING (Continued)
Any kinks or sharp bends in the refrigerant plumbing will reduce the capacity of the entire air conditioning system. Kinks and sharp bends reduce the
flow of refrigerant in the system. A good rule for the
flexible hose refrigerant lines is to keep the radius of
all bends at least ten times the diameter of the hose.
In addition, the flexible hose refrigerant lines should
be routed so they are at least 80 millimeters (3
inches) from the exhaust manifold.

OPERATION - A/C LINE COUPLERS
The spring-lock coupler is held together by a garter
spring inside a circular cage on the male half of the
fitting (Fig. 1). When the two coupler halves are connected, the flared end of the female fitting slips
behind the garter spring inside the cage on the male
fitting. The garter spring and cage prevent the flared
end of the female fitting from pulling out of the cage.
Two O-rings on the male half of the fitting are
used to seal the connection. These O-rings are compatible with R-134a refrigerant and must be replaced
with O-rings made of the same material.
Secondary clips are installed over the two connected coupler halves at the factory for added blowoff
protection. In addition, some models have a plastic
ring that is used at the factory as a visual indicator
to confirm that these couplers are connected. After
the coupler is connected, the plastic indicator ring is
no longer needed; however, it will remain on the
refrigerant line near the coupler cage.

OPERATION- REFRIGERANT LINES
High pressures are produced in the refrigerant system when the air conditioning compressor is operating. Extreme care must be exercised to make sure
that each of the refrigerant system connections is
pressure-tight and leak free. It is a good practice to

inspect all flexible hose refrigerant lines at least once
a year to make sure they are in good condition and
properly routed.
The refrigerant lines and hoses are coupled with
other components of the HVAC system with peanutblock style fittings. A stat-O seal type flat steel gasket with a captured compressible O-ring, is used to
mate plumbing lines with A/C components to ensure
the integrity of the refrigerant system.
The refrigerant lines and hoses cannot be repaired
and, if faulty or damaged, they must be replaced.

SERVICE WARNINGS
WARNING:
THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM CONTAINS
REFRIGERANT UNDER HIGH PRESSURE. SEVERE
PERSONAL INJURY MAY RESULT FROM IMPROPER
SERVICE PROCEDURES. REPAIRS SHOULD ONLY
BE PERFORMED BY QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
AVOID BREATHING THE REFRIGERANT AND
REFRIGERANT OIL VAPOR OR MIST. EXPOSURE
MAY IRRITATE THE EYES, NOSE, AND/OR THROAT.
WEAR EYE PROTECTION WHEN SERVICING THE
AIR CONDITIONING REFRIGERANT SYSTEM. SERIOUS EYE INJURY CAN RESULT FROM DIRECT
CONTACT WITH THE REFRIGERANT. IF EYE CONTACT OCCURS, SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.
DO NOT EXPOSE THE REFRIGERANT TO OPEN
FLAME. POISONOUS GAS IS CREATED WHEN
REFRIGERANT IS BURNED. AN ELECTRONIC LEAK
DETECTOR IS RECOMMENDED.
IF ACCIDENTAL SYSTEM DISCHARGE OCCURS,
VENTILATE THE WORK AREA BEFORE RESUMING
SERVICE. LARGE AMOUNTS OF REFRIGERANT
RELEASED IN A CLOSED WORK AREA WILL DISPLACE THE OXYGEN AND CAUSE SUFFOCATION.
THE EVAPORATION RATE OF R-134a REFRIGERANT AT AVERAGE TEMPERATURE AND ALTITUDE
IS EXTREMELY HIGH. AS A RESULT, ANYTHING
THAT COMES IN CONTACT WITH THE REFRIGERANT WILL FREEZE. ALWAYS PROTECT THE SKIN
OR DELICATE OBJECTS FROM DIRECT CONTACT
WITH THE REFRIGERANT.
THE R-134a SERVICE EQUIPMENT OR THE VEHICLE REFRIGERANT SYSTEM SHOULD NOT BE
PRESSURE TESTED OR LEAK TESTED WITH COMPRESSED AIR. SOME MIXTURES OF AIR AND
R-134a HAVE BEEN SHOWN TO BE COMBUSTIBLE
AT ELEVATED PRESSURES. THESE MIXTURES ARE
POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS, AND MAY RESULT IN
FIRE OR EXPLOSION CAUSING INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

SERVICE CAUTIONS
CAUTION: Liquid refrigerant is corrosive to metal
surfaces. Follow the operating instructions supplied
with the service equipment being used.
Never add R-12 to a refrigerant system designed to
use R-134a. Damage to the system will result.
R-12 refrigerant oil must not be mixed with R-134a
refrigerant oil. They are not compatible.
Do not use R-12 equipment or parts on the R-134a
system. Damage to the system will result.

Do not overcharge the refrigerant system. This will
cause excessive compressor head pressure and
can cause noise and system failure.
Recover the refrigerant before opening any fitting
or connection. Open the fittings with caution, even
after the system has been discharged. Never open
or loosen a connection before recovering the refrigerant.
Do not remove the secondary retention clip from
any spring-lock coupler connection while the refrigerant system is under pressure. Recover the refrigerant before removing the secondary retention clip.
Open the fittings with caution, even after the system has been discharged. Never open or loosen a
connection before recovering the refrigerant.
The refrigerant system must always be evacuated
before charging.
Do not open the refrigerant system or uncap a
replacement component until you are ready to service the system. This will prevent contamination in
the system.
Before disconnecting a component, clean the outside of the fittings thoroughly to prevent contamination from entering the refrigerant system.
Immediately after disconnecting a component from
the refrigerant system, seal the open fittings with a
cap or plug.
Before connecting an open refrigerant fitting,
always install a new seal or gasket. Coat the fitting
and seal with clean refrigerant oil before connecting.
Do not remove the sealing caps from a replacement
component until it is to be installed.
When installing a refrigerant line, avoid sharp
bends that may restrict refrigerant flow. Position the
refrigerant lines away from exhaust system components or any sharp edges, which may damage the
line.
Tighten refrigerant fittings only to the specified
torque. The aluminum fittings used in the refrigerant system will not tolerate overtightening.
When disconnecting a refrigerant fitting, use a
wrench on both halves of the fitting. This will prevent twisting of the refrigerant lines or tubes.
Refrigerant oil will absorb moisture from the atmosphere if left uncapped. Do not open a container of
refrigerant oil until you are ready to use it. Replace
the cap on the oil container immediately after using.
Store refrigerant oil only in a clean, airtight, and
moisture-free container.
Keep service tools and the work area clean. Contamination of the refrigerant system through careless work habits must be avoided.

CAUTION - REFRIGERANT HOSES/LINES/
TUBES PRECAUTIONS
Kinks or sharp bends in the refrigerant plumbing
will reduce the capacity of the entire system. High
pressures are produced in the system when it is operating. Extreme care must be exercised to make sure
that all refrigerant system connections are pressure
tight.
A good rule for the flexible hose refrigerant lines is
to keep the radius of all bends at least ten times the
diameter of the hose. Sharp bends will reduce the
flow of refrigerant. The flexible hose lines should be
routed so they are at least 80 millimeters (3 inches)
from the exhaust manifold. It is a good practice to
inspect all flexible refrigerant system hose lines at
least once a year to make sure they are in good condition and properly routed.
There are two types of refrigerant fittings:
• All fittings with O-rings need to be coated with
refrigerant oil before installation. Use only O-rings
that are the correct size and approved for use with
R-134a refrigerant. Failure to do so may result in a
leak.
• Unified plumbing connections with gaskets cannot be serviced with O-rings. The gaskets are not
reusable and new gaskets do not require lubrication
before installing.
Using the proper tools when making a refrigerant
plumbing connection is very important. Improper
tools or improper use of the tools can damage the
refrigerant fittings. Always use two wrenches when
loosening or tightening tube fittings. Use one wrench
to hold one side of the connection stationary, while
loosening or tightening the other side of the connection with a second wrench.
The refrigerant must be recovered completely from
the system before opening any fitting or connection.
Open the fittings with caution, even after the refrigerant has been recovered. If any pressure is noticed
as a fitting is loosened, tighten the fitting and
recover the refrigerant from the system again.
Do not discharge refrigerant into the atmosphere.
Use an R-134a refrigerant recovery/recycling device
that meets SAE Standard J2210.
The refrigerant system will remain chemically stable as long as pure, moisture-free R-134a refrigerant
and refrigerant oil is used. Dirt, moisture, or air can
upset this chemical stability. Operational troubles or
serious damage can occur if foreign material is
present in the refrigerant system.
When it is necessary to open the refrigerant system, have everything needed to service the system
ready. The refrigerant system should not be left open
to the atmosphere any longer than necessary. Cap or
plug all lines and fittings as soon as they are opened
to prevent the entrance of dirt and moisture. All lines

and components in parts stock should be capped or
sealed until they are to be installed.
All tools, including the refrigerant recycling equipment, the manifold gauge set, and test hoses should
be kept clean and dry. All tools and equipment must
be designed for R-134a refrigerant.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - REFRIGERANT
SYSTEM LEAKS
WARNING: (Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING/PLUMBING - WARNING) (Refer to 24 HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING/PLUMBING - CAUTION) BEFORE PERFORMING THE FOLLOWING
OPERATION.
If the air conditioning system is not cooling properly, determine if the refrigerant system is fullycharged. (Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR
CONDITIONING - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING A/C PERFORMANCE) If the refrigerant system is
low or empty; a leak at a refrigerant line, connector
fitting, component, or component seal is likely.
An electronic leak detector designed for R-134a
refrigerant, or a fluorescent R-134a leak detection
dye and a black light are recommended for locating
and confirming refrigerant system leaks. Refer to the
operating instructions supplied by the equipment
manufacturer for proper care and use of this equipment.
An oily residue on or near refrigerant system lines,
connector fittings, components, or component seals
can indicate the general location of a possible refrigerant leak. However, the exact leak location should
be confirmed with an electronic leak detector prior to
component repair or replacement.
To detect a leak in the refrigerant system with an
electronic leak detector, perform one of the following
procedures:

SYSTEM EMPTY
(1) Evacuate the refrigerant system. (Refer to 24 HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING/PLUMBING STANDARD PROCEDURE - REFRIGERANT SYSTEM EVACUATE)
(2) Connect and dispense 0.283 kilograms (0.625
pounds or 10 ounces) of R-134a refrigerant into the
evacuated refrigerant system. (Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING/PLUMBING - STANDARD PROCEDURE - REFRIGERANT SYSTEM
CHARGE)
(3) Position the vehicle in a wind-free work area.
This will aid in detecting small leaks.
(4) With the engine not running, use a electronic

SPECIFICATIONS
SPECIFICATIONS
The R-134a refrigerant system charge capacity for
this vehicle is: 0.907 kilograms (32 ounces).

A/C COMPRESSOR
DESCRIPTION
The air conditioning system uses a Sanden
SD7H15 seven cylinder, reciprocating wobble platetype compressor on all models. This compressor has a
fixed displacement of 150 cubic centimeters (9.375
cubic inches), and has both the suction and discharge
ports located on the cylinder head. A label identifying
the use of R-134a refrigerant is located on the compressor.

DESCRIPTION - HIGH PRESSURE RELIEF
VALVE
A high pressure relief valve is located on the compressor cylinder head, which is at the rear of the
compressor. This mechanical valve is designed to
vent refrigerant from the system to protect against
damage to the compressor and other system components, caused by condenser air flow restriction or an
overcharge of refrigerant.

OPERATION
The compressor is driven by the engine through an
electric clutch, drive pulley and belt arrangement.
The compressor is lubricated by refrigerant oil that is
circulated throughout the refrigerant system with the
refrigerant.
The compressor draws in low-pressure refrigerant
vapor from the evaporator through its suction port. It
then compresses the refrigerant into a high-pressure,
high-temperature refrigerant vapor, which is then
pumped to the condenser through the compressor discharge port.
The compressor cannot be repaired. If faulty or
damaged, the entire compressor assembly must be

PLUMBING

BR/BE

24 - 47

A/C COMPRESSOR (Continued)
replaced. The compressor clutch, pulley and clutch
coil are available for service.

OPERATION - HIGH PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
The high pressure relief valve vents the system
when a discharge pressure of 3445 to 4135 kPa (500
to 600 psi) or above is reached. The valve closes with
a minimum discharge pressure of 2756 kPa (400 psi)
is reached.
The high pressure relief valve vents only enough
refrigerant to reduce the system pressure, and then
re-seats itself. The majority of the refrigerant is conserved in the system. If the valve vents refrigerant, it
does not mean the valve is faulty.
The high pressure relief valve is a factory-calibrated unit. The valve cannot be adjusted or
repaired, and must not be removed or otherwise disturbed. The valve is only serviced as a part of the
compressor assembly.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - A/C COMPRESSOR
When investigating an air conditioning related
noise, you must first know the conditions under
which the noise occurs. These conditions include:
weather, vehicle speed, transmission in gear or neutral, engine speed, engine operating temperature,
and any other special conditions. Noises that develop
during air conditioning operation can often be misleading. For example: What sounds like a failed front
bearing or connecting rod, may be caused by loose
bolts, nuts, mounting brackets, or a loose compressor
clutch assembly.
Drive belts are speed sensitive. At different engine
speeds and depending upon belt tension, belts can
develop noises that are mistaken for a compressor
noise. Improper belt tension can cause a misleading
noise when the compressor clutch is engaged, which
may not occur when the compressor clutch is disengaged. Check the serpentine drive belt condition and
tension before beginning this procedure(Refer to 7 COOLING/ACCESSORY DRIVE/DRIVE BELTS DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
(1) Select a quiet area for testing. Duplicate the
complaint conditions as much as possible. Switch the
compressor on and off several times to clearly identify the compressor noise. Listen to the compressor
while the clutch is engaged and disengaged. Probe
the compressor with an engine stethoscope or a long
screwdriver with the handle held to your ear to better localize the source of the noise.
(2) Loosen all of the compressor mounting hardware and retighten. Tighten the compressor clutch
mounting nut. Be certain that the clutch coil is
mounted securely to the compressor, and that the
clutch plate and pulley are properly aligned and have
the correct air gap. (Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR

CONDITIONING/CONTROLS/A/C
COMPRESSOR
CLUTCH - INSTALLATION)
(3) To duplicate a high-ambient temperature condition (high head pressure), restrict the air flow
through the condenser. Install a manifold gauge set
to be certain that the discharge pressure does not
exceed 2760 kPa (400 psi).
(4) Check the refrigerant system plumbing for
incorrect routing, rubbing or interference, which can
cause unusual noises. Also check the refrigerant lines
for kinks or sharp bends that will restrict refrigerant
flow, which can cause noises. (Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING/PLUMBING - CAUTION)
(5) If the noise is from opening and closing of the
high pressure relief valve, recover, evacuate, and
recharge the refrigerant system. (Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING/PLUMBING - STANDARD PROCEDURE - REFRIGERANT RECOVERY)
(Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING/
PLUMBING - STANDARD PROCEDURE - REFRIGERANT SYSTEM EVACUATE) (Refer to 24 HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING/PLUMBING STANDARD PROCEDURE - REFRIGERANT SYSTEM CHARGE) If the high pressure relief valve still
does not seat properly, replace the compressor.
(6) If the noise is from liquid slugging on the suction line, replace the accumulator. (Refer to 24 HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING/PLUMBING/ACCUMULATOR - REMOVAL) Check the refrigerant oil
level and the refrigerant system charge. (Refer to 24
- HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING/PLUMBING/
REFRIGERANT OIL - STANDARD PROCEDURE REFRIGERANT OIL LEVEL) (Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING/PLUMBING - SPECIFICATIONS - CHARGE CAPACITY) If the liquid
slugging condition continues following accumulator
replacement, replace the compressor.
(7) If the noise continues, replace the compressor
and repeat Step 1.

When the refrigerant gas gives up its heat, it condenses. When the refrigerant leaves the condenser, it
has become a high-pressure liquid refrigerant. The
volume of air flowing over the condenser fins is critical to the proper cooling performance of the air conditioning system. Therefore, it is important that
there are no objects placed in front of the radiator

A/C EVAPORATOR
DESCRIPTION
The a/c evaporator is located in the HVAC housing,
under the instrument panel. The evaporator coil is
positioned in the HVAC housing so that all air that
enters the housing must pass over the fins of the
evaporator before it is distributed through the system ducts and outlets. However, air passing over the
evaporator coil fins will only be conditioned when the
compressor is engaged and circulating refrigerant
through the evaporator coil tubes.

OPERATION
Refrigerant enters the evaporator from the fixed
orifice tube as a low-temperature, low-pressure liquid. As air flows over the fins of the evaporator, the
humidity in the air condenses on the fins, and the
heat from the air is absorbed by the refrigerant. Heat
absorption causes the refrigerant to boil and vaporize. The refrigerant becomes a low-pressure gas when
it leaves the evaporator.

A/C ORIFICE TUBE
DESCRIPTION
The fixed orifice tube is installed in the liquid line
between the outlet of the condenser and the inlet of
the evaporator. The fixed orifice tube is only serviced
as an integral part of the liquid line.

OPERATION
The inlet end of the fixed orifice tube has a nylon
mesh filter screen, which filters the refrigerant and
helps to reduce the potential for blockage of the
metering orifice by refrigerant system contaminants
(Fig. 12). The outlet end of the tube has a nylon
mesh diffuser screen. The O-rings on the plastic body
of the fixed orifice tube seal the tube to the inside of
the liquid line and prevent the refrigerant from
bypassing the fixed metering orifice.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - FIXED ORIFICE
TUBE
The fixed orifice tube can be checked for proper
operation using the following procedure. However,
the fixed orifice tube is only serviced as a part of the
liquid line unit. If the results of this test indicate
that the fixed orifice tube is obstructed or missing,
the entire liquid line unit must be replaced.
WARNING: THE LIQUID LINE BETWEEN THE CONDENSER OUTLET AND THE FIXED ORIFICE TUBE
CAN BECOME HOT ENOUGH TO BURN THE SKIN.
USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN PERFORMING THE
FOLLOWING TEST.
(1) Confirm that the refrigerant system is properly
charged. (Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - A/C PERFORMANCE)
(2) Start the engine. Turn on the air conditioning
system and confirm that the compressor clutch is
engaged.
(3) Allow the air conditioning system to operate for
five minutes.
(4) Lightly and cautiously touch the liquid line
near the condenser outlet at the front of the engine
compartment. The liquid line should be hot to the
touch.
(5) Touch the liquid line near the evaporator inlet
at the rear of the engine compartment. The liquid
line should be cold to the touch.
(6) If there is a distinct temperature differential
between the two ends of the liquid line, the orifice
tube is in good condition. If there is little or no
detectable temperature differential between the two
ends of the liquid line, the orifice tube is obstructed
or missing and the liquid line must be replaced.

DESCRIPTION

INSTALLATION

The heater core is located in the HVAC housing,
under the instrument panel. It is a heat exchanger
made of rows of tubes and fins.
The heater core is not repairable and if damaged it
must be replaced.

(1) Lower the heater core into the HVAC housing.
(2) Position the retainers over the heater core
tubes. Install and tighten the screws that secure the
heater core and retainers to the HVAC housing.
Tighten the screws to 2.2 N·m (20 in. lbs.).
(3) Reinstall the HVAC housing in the vehicle.
(Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING/
DISTRIBUTION/HVAC HOUSING - INSTALLATION)

OPERATION
Engine coolant is circulated through heater hoses
to the heater core at all times. As the coolant flows
through the heater core, heat removed from the
engine is transferred to the heater core fins and
tubes. Air directed through the heater core picks up
the heat from the heater core fins. The blend door
allows control of the heater output air temperature
by controlling how much of the air flowing through
the HVAC housing is directed through the heater
core. The blower motor speed controls the volume of
air flowing through the HVAC housing.
The heater core cannot be repaired and, if faulty or
damaged, it must be replaced.

REMOVAL
(1) Remove the HVAC housing from the vehicle.
(Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING/
DISTRIBUTION/HVAC HOUSING - REMOVAL)

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

PLUMBING

BR/BE

24 - 57

REFRIGERANT (Continued)

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

REFRIGERANT OIL
DESCRIPTION
The refrigerant oil used in R-134a refrigerant systems is a synthetic-based, PolyAlkylene Glycol (PAG),
wax-free lubricant. Mineral-based R-12 refrigerant
oils are not compatible with PAG oils, and should
never be introduced to an R-134a refrigerant system.
There are different PAG oils available, and each
contains a different additive package. The SD7H15
compressor used in this vehicle is designed to use an
SP-20 PAG refrigerant oil. Use only refrigerant oil of
this same type to service the refrigerant system.

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

STANDARD PROCEDURE - REFRIGERANT OIL
LEVEL
When an air conditioning system is assembled at
the factory, all components except the compressor are
refrigerant oil free. After the refrigerant system has
been charged and operated, the refrigerant oil in the
compressor is dispersed throughout the refrigerant
system. The accumulator, evaporator, condenser, and
compressor will each retain a significant amount of
the needed refrigerant oil.
It is important to have the correct amount of oil in
the refrigerant system. This ensures proper lubrication of the compressor. Too little oil will result in
damage to the compressor. Too much oil will reduce
the cooling capacity of the air conditioning system.
It will not be necessary to check the oil level in the
compressor or to add oil, unless there has been an oil
loss. An oil loss may occur due to a rupture or leak
from a refrigerant line, a connector fitting, a component, or a component seal. If a leak occurs, add 30
milliliters (1 fluid ounce) of refrigerant oil to the
refrigerant system after the repair has been made.
Refrigerant oil loss will be evident at the leak point
by the presence of a wet, shiny surface around the
leak.
Refrigerant oil must be added when a accumulator,
evaporator coil, or condenser are replaced. See the
Refrigerant Oil Capacities chart. When a compressor
is replaced, the refrigerant oil must be drained from
the old compressor and measured. Drain all of the
refrigerant oil from the new compressor, then fill the
new compressor with the same amount of refrigerant
oil that was drained out of the old compressor.

DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION - DIESEL
Two different modules are used for powertrain control with the diesel engine. The Powertrain Control
Module (PCM) is used primarily for charging system,
transmission, A/C compressor clutch operation and
speed control functions. The Engine Control Module
(ECM) is used to control the fuel and emissions
systems. The PCM is located in the right/rear of
engine compartment (Fig. 1). The ECM is bolted to
the left side of the engine cylinder block (Fig. 2).

DESCRIPTION - STATE DISPLAY TEST MODE
The switch inputs to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) have two recognized states; HIGH and
LOW. For this reason, the PCM cannot recognize the
difference between a selected switch position versus
an open circuit, a short circuit, or a defective switch.
If the State Display screen shows the change from
HIGH to LOW or LOW to HIGH, assume the entire
switch circuit to the PCM functions properly. Connect

DESCRIPTION - DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) indicates the
PCM has recognized an abnormal condition in the
system.
Remember that DTC’s are the results of a system or circuit failure, but do not directly identify the failed component or components.
NOTE: For a list of DTC’s, refer to the charts in this
section.

DESCRIPTION - CIRCUIT ACTUATION TEST
MODE
The Circuit Actuation Test Mode checks for proper
operation of output circuits or devices the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) may not internally recognize.
The PCM attempts to activate these outputs and
allow an observer to verify proper operation. Most of
the tests provide an audible or visual indication of
device operation (click of relay contacts, fuel spray,
etc.). Except for intermittent conditions, if a device
functions properly during testing, assume the device,

BULB CHECK
Each time the ignition key is turned to the ON
position, the malfunction indicator (check engine)
lamp on the instrument panel should illuminate for
approximately 2 seconds then go out. This is done for
a bulb check.
OBTAINING DTC’S USING DRB SCAN TOOL
(1) Connect the DRB scan tool to the data link
(diagnostic) connector. This connector is located in
the passenger compartment; at the lower edge of
instrument panel; near the steering column.
(2) Turn the ignition switch on and access the
“Read Fault” screen.
(3) Record all the DTC’s and “freeze frame” information shown on the DRB scan tool.
(4) To erase DTC’s, use the “Erase Trouble Code”
data screen on the DRB scan tool. Do not erase any
DTC’s until problems have been investigated
and repairs have been performed.

DESCRIPTION - TASK MANAGER
The PCM is responsible for efficiently coordinating
the operation of all the emissions-related components. The PCM is also responsible for determining if
the diagnostic systems are operating properly. The
software designed to carry out these responsibilities
is call the ’Task Manager’.

DESCRIPTION - MONITORED SYSTEMS
There are new electronic circuit monitors that
check fuel, emission, engine and ignition performance. These monitors use information from various
sensor circuits to indicate the overall operation of the
fuel, engine, ignition and emission systems and thus
the emissions performance of the vehicle.
The fuel, engine, ignition and emission systems
monitors do not indicate a specific component problem. They do indicate that there is an implied problem within one of the systems and that a specific
problem must be diagnosed.
If any of these monitors detect a problem affecting
vehicle emissions, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp
(MIL) will be illuminated. These monitors generate
Diagnostic Trouble Codes that can be displayed with
the MIL or a scan tool.
The following is a list of the system monitors:
• Misfire Monitor
• Fuel System Monitor
• Oxygen Sensor Monitor
• Oxygen Sensor Heater Monitor
• Catalyst Monitor
• Leak Detection Pump Monitor (if equipped)
All these system monitors require two consecutive
trips with the malfunction present to set a fault.
Refer to the appropriate Powertrain Diagnostics Procedures manual for diagnostic procedures.
The following is an operation and description of
each system monitor :

OXYGEN SENSOR (O2S) MONITOR
Effective control of exhaust emissions is achieved
by an oxygen feedback system. The most important
element of the feedback system is the O2S. The O2S
is located in the exhaust path. Once it reaches operating temperature 300° to 350°C (572° to 662°F), the
sensor generates a voltage that is inversely proportional to the amount of oxygen in the exhaust. The
information obtained by the sensor is used to calculate the fuel injector pulse width. This maintains a
14.7 to 1 Air Fuel (A/F) ratio. At this mixture ratio,
the catalyst works best to remove hydrocarbons (HC),
carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrogen oxide (NOx) from
the exhaust.
The O2S is also the main sensing element for the
Catalyst and Fuel Monitors.

The O2S can fail in any or all of the following
manners:
• slow response rate
• reduced output voltage
• dynamic shift
• shorted or open circuits
Response rate is the time required for the sensor to
switch from lean to rich once it is exposed to a richer
than optimum A/F mixture or vice versa. As the sensor starts malfunctioning, it could take longer to
detect the changes in the oxygen content of the
exhaust gas.
The output voltage of the O2S ranges from 0 to 1
volt. A good sensor can easily generate any output
voltage in this range as it is exposed to different concentrations of oxygen. To detect a shift in the A/F
mixture (lean or rich), the output voltage has to
change beyond a threshold value. A malfunctioning
sensor could have difficulty changing beyond the
threshold value.

OXYGEN SENSOR HEATER MONITOR
If there is an oxygen sensor (O2S) shorted to voltage
DTC, as well as a O2S heater DTC, the O2S fault
MUST be repaired first. Before checking the O2S fault,
verify that the heater circuit is operating correctly.
Effective control of exhaust emissions is achieved
by an oxygen feedback system. The most important
element of the feedback system is the O2S. The O2S
is located in the exhaust path. Once it reaches operating temperature 300° to 350°C (572 ° to 662°F), the
sensor generates a voltage that is inversely proportional to the amount of oxygen in the exhaust. The
information obtained by the sensor is used to calculate the fuel injector pulse width. This maintains a
14.7 to 1 Air Fuel (A/F) ratio. At this mixture ratio,
the catalyst works best to remove hydrocarbons (HC),
carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrogen oxide (NOx) from
the exhaust.
The voltage readings taken from the O2S sensor
are very temperature sensitive. The readings are not
accurate below 300°C. Heating of the O2S sensor is
done to allow the engine controller to shift to closed
loop control as soon as possible. The heating element
used to heat the O2S sensor must be tested to ensure
that it is heating the sensor properly.
The O2S sensor circuit is monitored for a drop in
voltage. The sensor output is used to test the heater
by isolating the effect of the heater element on the
O2S sensor output voltage from the other effects.

LEAK DETECTION PUMP MONITOR (IF EQUIPPED)
The leak detection assembly incorporates two primary functions: it must detect a leak in the evaporative system and seal the evaporative system so the
leak detection test can be run.

25 - 18

EMISSIONS CONTROL

BR/BE

EMISSIONS CONTROL (Continued)
The primary components within the assembly are:
A three port solenoid that activates both of the functions listed above; a pump which contains a switch,
two check valves and a spring/diaphragm, a canister
vent valve (CVV) seal which contains a spring loaded
vent seal valve.
Immediately after a cold start, between predetermined temperature thresholds limits, the three port
solenoid is briefly energized. This initializes the
pump by drawing air into the pump cavity and also
closes the vent seal. During non test conditions the
vent seal is held open by the pump diaphragm
assembly which pushes it open at the full travel position. The vent seal will remain closed while the
pump is cycling due to the reed switch triggering of
the three port solenoid that prevents the diaphragm
assembly from reaching full travel. After the brief
initialization period, the solenoid is de-energized
allowing atmospheric pressure to enter the pump
cavity, thus permitting the spring to drive the diaphragm which forces air out of the pump cavity and
into the vent system. When the solenoid is energized
and de energized, the cycle is repeated creating flow
in typical diaphragm pump fashion. The pump is controlled in 2 modes:
Pump Mode: The pump is cycled at a fixed rate to
achieve a rapid pressure build in order to shorten the
overall test length.
Test Mode: The solenoid is energized with a fixed
duration pulse. Subsequent fixed pulses occur when
the diaphragm reaches the Switch closure point.
The spring in the pump is set so that the system
will achieve an equalized pressure of about 7.5” H20.
The cycle rate of pump strokes is quite rapid as the
system begins to pump up to this pressure. As the
pressure increases, the cycle rate starts to drop off. If
there is no leak in the system, the pump would eventually stop pumping at the equalized pressure. If
there is a leak, it will continue to pump at a rate representative of the flow characteristic of the size of the
leak. From this information we can determine if the
leak is larger than the required detection limit (currently set at .040” orifice by CARB). If a leak is
revealed during the leak test portion of the test, the
test is terminated at the end of the test mode and no
further system checks will be performed.
After passing the leak detection phase of the test,
system pressure is maintained by turning on the
LDP’s solenoid until the purge system is activated.
Purge activation in effect creates a leak. The cycle
rate is again interrogated and when it increases due
to the flow through the purge system, the leak check
portion of the diagnostic is complete.
The canister vent valve will unseal the system
after completion of the test sequence as the pump
diaphragm assembly moves to the full travel position.

Evaporative system functionality will be verified by
using the stricter evap purge flow monitor. At an
appropriate warm idle the LDP will be energized to
seal the canister vent. The purge flow will be clocked
up from some small value in an attempt to see a
shift in the 02 control system. If fuel vapor, indicated
by a shift in the 02 control, is present the test is
passed. If not, it is assumed that the purge system is
not functioning in some respect. The LDP is again
turned off and the test is ended.

MISFIRE MONITOR
Excessive engine misfire results in increased catalyst temperature and causes an increase in HC emissions. Severe misfires could cause catalyst damage.
To prevent catalytic convertor damage, the PCM
monitors engine misfire.
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitors
for misfire during most engine operating conditions
(positive torque) by looking at changes in the crankshaft speed. If a misfire occurs the speed of the
crankshaft will vary more than normal.

FUEL SYSTEM MONITOR
To comply with clean air regulations, vehicles are
equipped with catalytic converters. These converters
reduce the emission of hydrocarbons, oxides of nitrogen and carbon monoxide. The catalyst works best
when the Air Fuel (A/F) ratio is at or near the optimum of 14.7 to 1.
The PCM is programmed to maintain the optimum
air/fuel ratio of 14.7 to 1. This is done by making
short term corrections in the fuel injector pulse width
based on the O2S sensor output. The programmed
memory acts as a self calibration tool that the engine
controller uses to compensate for variations in engine
specifications, sensor tolerances and engine fatigue
over the life span of the engine. By monitoring the
actual fuel-air ratio with the O2S sensor (short term)
and multiplying that with the program long-term
(adaptive) memory and comparing that to the limit,
it can be determined whether it will pass an emissions test. If a malfunction occurs such that the PCM
cannot maintain the optimum A/F ratio, then the
MIL will be illuminated.

CATALYST MONITOR
To comply with clean air regulations, vehicles are
equipped with catalytic converters. These converters
reduce the emission of hydrocarbons, oxides of nitrogen and carbon monoxide.
Normal vehicle miles or engine misfire can cause a
catalyst to decay. This can increase vehicle emissions
and deteriorate engine performance, driveability and
fuel economy.

BR/BE

EMISSIONS CONTROL

25 - 19

EMISSIONS CONTROL (Continued)
The catalyst monitor uses dual oxygen sensors
(O2S’s) to monitor the efficiency of the converter. The
dual O2S’s sensor strategy is based on the fact that
as a catalyst deteriorates, its oxygen storage capacity
and its efficiency are both reduced. By monitoring
the oxygen storage capacity of a catalyst, its efficiency can be indirectly calculated. The upstream
O2S is used to detect the amount of oxygen in the
exhaust gas before the gas enters the catalytic converter. The PCM calculates the A/F mixture from the
output of the O2S. A low voltage indicates high oxygen content (lean mixture). A high voltage indicates a
low content of oxygen (rich mixture).
When the upstream O2S detects a lean condition,
there is an abundance of oxygen in the exhaust gas.
A functioning converter would store this oxygen so it
can use it for the oxidation of HC and CO. As the
converter absorbs the oxygen, there will be a lack of
oxygen downstream of the converter. The output of
the downstream O2S will indicate limited activity in
this condition.
As the converter loses the ability to store oxygen,
the condition can be detected from the behavior of
the downstream O2S. When the efficiency drops, no
chemical reaction takes place. This means the concentration of oxygen will be the same downstream as
upstream. The output voltage of the downstream
O2S copies the voltage of the upstream sensor. The
only difference is a time lag (seen by the PCM)
between the switching of the O2S’s.
To monitor the system, the number of lean-to-rich
switches of upstream and downstream O2S’s is
counted. The ratio of downstream switches to
upstream switches is used to determine whether the
catalyst is operating properly. An effective catalyst
will have fewer downstream switches than it has
upstream switches i.e., a ratio closer to zero. For a
totally ineffective catalyst, this ratio will be one-toone, indicating that no oxidation occurs in the device.
The system must be monitored so that when catalyst efficiency deteriorates and exhaust emissions
increase to over the legal limit, the MIL will be illuminated.

DESCRIPTION - TRIP DEFINITION
The term “Trip” has different meanings depending
on what the circumstances are. If the MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) is OFF, a Trip is defined as
when the Oxygen Sensor Monitor and the Catalyst
Monitor have been completed in the same drive cycle.
When any Emission DTC is set, the MIL on the
dash is turned ON. When the MIL is ON, it takes 3
good trips to turn the MIL OFF. In this case, it
depends on what type of DTC is set to know what a
“Trip” is.

For the Fuel Monitor or Mis-Fire Monitor (continuous monitor), the vehicle must be operated in the
“Similar Condition Window” for a specified amount of
time to be considered a Good Trip.
If a Non-Contiuous OBDII Monitor fails twice in a
row and turns ON the MIL, re-running that monitor
which previously failed, on the next start-up and
passing the monitor, is considered to be a Good Trip.
These will include the following:
• Oxygen Sensor
• Catalyst Monitor
• Purge Flow Monitor
• Leak Detection Pump Monitor (if equipped)
• EGR Monitor (if equipped)
• Oxygen Sensor Heater Monitor
If any other Emission DTC is set (not an OBDII
Monitor), a Good Trip is considered to be when the
Oxygen Sensor Monitor and Catalyst Monitor have
been completed; or 2 Minutes of engine run time if
the Oxygen Sensor Monitor or Catalyst Monitor have
been stopped from running.
It can take up to 2 Failures in a row to turn on the
MIL. After the MIL is ON, it takes 3 Good Trips to
turn the MIL OFF. After the MIL is OFF, the PCM
will self-erase the DTC after 40 Warm-up cycles. A
Warm-up cycle is counted when the ECT (Engine
Coolant Temperature Sensor) has crossed 160°F and
has risen by at least 40°F since the engine has been
started.

DESCRIPTION - COMPONENT MONITORS GAS ENGINES
There are several components that will affect vehicle emissions if they malfunction. If one of these components malfunctions the Malfunction Indicator
Lamp (MIL) will illuminate.
Some of the component monitors are checking for
proper operation of the part. Electrically operated
components now have input (rationality) and output
(functionality) checks. Previously, a component like
the Throttle Position sensor (TPS) was checked by
the PCM for an open or shorted circuit. If one of
these conditions occurred, a DTC was set. Now there
is a check to ensure that the component is working.
This is done by watching for a TPS indication of a
greater or lesser throttle opening than MAP and
engine rpm indicate. In the case of the TPS, if engine
vacuum is high and engine rpm is 1600 or greater,
and the TPS indicates a large throttle opening, a
DTC will be set. The same applies to low vacuum if
the TPS indicates a small throttle opening.
All open/short circuit checks, or any component
that has an associated limp-in, will set a fault after 1
trip with the malfunction present. Components without an associated limp-in will take two trips to illuminate the MIL.

DESCRIPTION - COMPONENT MONITORS DIESEL ENGINES
There are several electrical components that will
affect vehicle emissions if they malfunction. If one of
these components is malfunctioning, a Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) will be set by either the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) or the Engine Control
Module (ECM). The Malfunction Indicator Lamp
(MIL) will then be illuminated when the engine is
running.
These electrically operated components have input
(rationality) and output (functionality) checks. A
check is done by one or more components to check
the operation of another component.
Example: The Intake Manifold Air Temperature
(IAT) sensor is used to monitor intake manifold air
temperature over a period of time after a cold start.
If the temperature has not risen to a certain specification during a specified time, a Diagnostic Trouble
Code (DTC) will be set for a problem in the manifold
air heater system.
All open/short circuit checks, or any component
that has an associated limp-in will set a DTC and
trigger the MIL after 1 trip with the malfunction
present. Components without an associated limp-in
will take two trips to illuminate the MIL.

above 2400 RPM (resulting in 0 volt input to the
PCM). Because the condition happens at an engine
speed above the maximum threshold (2000 rpm), the
PCM will not store a DTC.
There are several operating conditions for which
the PCM monitors and sets DTC’s. Refer to Monitored Systems, Components, and Non-Monitored Circuits in this section.
Technicians must retrieve stored DTC’s by connecting the DRB scan tool (or an equivalent scan tool) to
the 16–way data link connector (Fig. 3).
NOTE: Various diagnostic procedures may actually
cause a diagnostic monitor to set a DTC. For
instance, pulling a spark plug wire to perform a
spark test may set the misfire code. When a repair
is completed and verified, connect the DRB scan
tool to the 16–way data link connector to erase all
DTC’s and extinguish the MIL.

OPERATION
OPERATION - GAS ENGINES
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitors
many different circuits in the fuel injection, ignition,
emission and engine systems. If the PCM senses a
problem with a monitored circuit often enough to
indicate an actual problem, it stores a Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) in the PCM’s memory. If the
problem is repaired or ceases to exist, the PCM cancels the code after 40 warm-up cycles. Diagnostic
trouble codes that affect vehicle emissions illuminate
the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL). The MIL is
displayed as an engine icon (graphic) on the instrument panel. Refer to Malfunction Indicator Lamp in
this section.
Certain criteria must be met before the PCM
stores a DTC in memory. The criteria may be a specific range of engine RPM, engine temperature,
and/or input voltage to the PCM.
The PCM might not store a DTC for a monitored
circuit even though a malfunction has occurred. This
may happen because one of the DTC criteria for the
circuit has not been met. For example, assume the
diagnostic trouble code criteria requires the PCM to
monitor the circuit only when the engine operates
between 750 and 2000 RPM. Suppose the sensor’s
output circuit shorts to ground when engine operates

OPERATION - DIESEL
The PCM and ECM monitor many different circuits in the powertrain system. If the ECM or PCM
senses a problem with a monitored circuit often
enough to indicate an actual problem, it stores a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) in the ECM’s or
PCM’s memory. With certain DTC’s, if the problem is
repaired or ceases to exist, the ECM or PCM cancels
the code after 40 warm-up cycles. Certain other
DTC’s may be cancelled after 1 or 2 good “trips”.
Refer to Trip Definition. DTC’s that affect vehicle
emissions illuminate the Malfunction Indicator Lamp
(MIL). The MIL is displayed as an engine icon
(graphic) on the instrument panel. Refer to Malfunction Indicator Lamp.

EMISSIONS CONTROL (Continued)
Certain DTC’s will set a “companion DTC” in the
opposite control module. This means that after
repair, the DTC must be erased from both modules.
Certain criteria must be met before the ECM or
PCM will store a DTC in memory. The criteria may
be a specific range of engine RPM, throttle opening,
engine temperature or input voltage.
The ECM or PCM might not store a DTC for a
monitored circuit even though a malfunction has
occurred. This may happen because one of the DTC
criteria for the circuit has not been met. For example, assume the DTC criteria requires the ECM to
monitor the circuit only when the engine operates
between 750 and 2000 RPM. Suppose the sensor’s
output circuit shorts to ground when engine operates
above 2400 RPM (resulting in 0 volt input to the
ECM). Because the condition happens at an engine
speed above the maximum threshold (2000 rpm), the
ECM will not store a DTC.
There are several operating conditions for which
the ECM and PCM monitors and sets DTC’s. Refer to
Monitored Systems, Components, and Non-Monitored
Circuits.
Technicians must retrieve stored DTC’s by connecting the DRB scan tool (or an equivalent scan tool) to
the 16–way data link connector (Fig. 3). Refer to the
Diagnostic Trouble Code chart (list). Remember
that DTC’s are the results of a system or circuit
failure, but do not directly identify the failed
component or components.
Various diagnostic procedures may actually cause a
diagnostic monitor to set a DTC. For instance, disconnecting a relay or removing an electrical connector while the engine is running. When a repair is
completed and verified, connect the DRB scan tool to
the 16–way data link connector to erase all ECM and
PCM DTC’s and extinguish the MIL.

OPERATION - TASK MANAGER
The Task Manager determines which tests happen
when and which functions occur when. Many of the
diagnostic steps required by OBD II must be performed under specific operating conditions. The Task
Manager software organizes and prioritizes the diagnostic procedures. The job of the Task Manager is to
determine if conditions are appropriate for tests to be
run, monitor the parameters for a trip for each test,
and record the results of the test. Following are the
responsibilities of the Task Manager software:
• Test Sequence
• MIL Illumination
• Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)
• Trip Indicator
• Freeze Frame Data Storage
• Similar Conditions Window

Test Sequence
In many instances, emissions systems must fail
diagnostic tests more than once before the PCM illuminates the MIL. These tests are know as ’two trip
monitors.’ Other tests that turn the MIL lamp on
after a single failure are known as ’one trip monitors.’ A trip is defined as ’start the vehicle and operate it to meet the criteria necessary to run the given
monitor.’
Many of the diagnostic tests must be performed
under certain operating conditions. However, there
are times when tests cannot be run because another
test is in progress (conflict), another test has failed
(pending) or the Task Manager has set a fault that
may cause a failure of the test (suspend).
• Pending
Under some situations the Task Manager will not
run a monitor if the MIL is illuminated and a fault is
stored from another monitor. In these situations, the
Task Manager postpones monitors pending resolution of the original fault. The Task Manager does not
run the test until the problem is remedied.
For example, when the MIL is illuminated for an
Oxygen Sensor fault, the Task Manager does not run
the Catalyst Monitor until the Oxygen Sensor fault is
remedied. Since the Catalyst Monitor is based on signals from the Oxygen Sensor, running the test would
produce inaccurate results.
• Conflict
There are situations when the Task Manager does
not run a test if another monitor is in progress. In
these situations, the effects of another monitor running could result in an erroneous failure. If this conflict is present, the monitor is not run until the
conflicting condition passes. Most likely the monitor
will run later after the conflicting monitor has
passed.
For example, if the Fuel System Monitor is in
progress, the Task Manager does not run the EGR
Monitor. Since both tests monitor changes in air/fuel
ratio and adaptive fuel compensation, the monitors
will conflict with each other.
• Suspend
Occasionally the Task Manager may not allow a two
trip fault to mature. The Task Manager will suspend the maturing of a fault if a condition exists
that may induce an erroneous failure. This prevents
illuminating the MIL for the wrong fault and allows
more precis diagnosis.
For example, if the PCM is storing a one trip fault
for the Oxygen Sensor and the EGR monitor, the
Task Manager may still run the EGR Monitor but
will suspend the results until the Oxygen Sensor
Monitor either passes or fails. At that point the Task
Manager can determine if the EGR system is actually failing or if an Oxygen Sensor is failing.

EMISSIONS CONTROL

EMISSIONS CONTROL (Continued)

MIL Illumination
The PCM Task Manager carries out the illumination of the MIL. The Task Manager triggers MIL illumination upon test failure, depending on monitor
failure criteria.
The Task Manager Screen shows both a Requested
MIL state and an Actual MIL state. When the MIL is
illuminated upon completion of a test for a third trip,
the Requested MIL state changes to OFF. However,
the MIL remains illuminated until the next key
cycle. (On some vehicles, the MIL will actually turn
OFF during the third key cycle) During the key cycle
for the third good trip, the Requested MIL state is
OFF, while the Actual MILL state is ON. After the
next key cycle, the MIL is not illuminated and both
MIL states read OFF.

Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)
With OBD II, different DTC faults have different
priorities according to regulations. As a result, the
priorities determine MIL illumination and DTC erasure. DTCs are entered according to individual priority. DTCs with a higher priority overwrite lower
priority DTCs.

Priorities
• Priority 0 —Non-emissions related trouble codes
• Priority 1 — One trip failure of a two trip fault
for non-fuel system and non-misfire.
• Priority 2 — One trip failure of a two trip fault
for fuel system (rich/lean) or misfire.
• Priority 3 — Two trip failure for a non-fuel system and non-misfire or matured one trip comprehensive component fault.
• Priority 4 — Two trip failure or matured fault
for fuel system (rich/lean) and misfire or one trip catalyst damaging misfire.
Non-emissions related failures have no priority.
One trip failures of two trip faults have low priority.
Two trip failures or matured faults have higher priority. One and two trip failures of fuel system and
misfire monitor take precedence over non-fuel system
and non-misfire failures.

DTC Self Erasure
With one trip components or systems, the MIL is
illuminated upon test failure and DTCs are stored.
Two trip monitors are components requiring failure
in two consecutive trips for MIL illumination. Upon
failure of the first test, the Task Manager enters a
maturing code. If the component fails the test for a
second time the code matures and a DTC is set.
After three good trips the MIL is extinguished and
the Task Manager automatically switches the trip
counter to a warm-up cycle counter. DTCs are auto-

matically erased following 40 warm-up cycles if the
component does not fail again.
For misfire and fuel system monitors, the component must pass the test under a Similar Conditions
Window in order to record a good trip. A Similar Conditions Window is when engine RPM is within ±375
RPM and load is within ±10% of when the fault
occurred.
NOTE: It is important to understand that a component does not have to fail under a similar window of
operation to mature. It must pass the test under a
Similar Conditions Window when it failed to record
a Good Trip for DTC erasure for misfire and fuel
system monitors.
DTCs can be erased anytime with a DRB III. Erasing the DTC with the DRB III erases all OBD II
information. The DRB III automatically displays a
warning that erasing the DTC will also erase all
OBD II monitor data. This includes all counter information for warm-up cycles, trips and Freeze Frame.

Trip Indicator
The Trip is essential for running monitors and
extinguishing the MIL. In OBD II terms, a trip is a
set of vehicle operating conditions that must be met
for a specific monitor to run. All trips begin with a
key cycle.
Good Trip
The Good Trip counters are as follows:
• Specific Good Trip
• Fuel System Good Trip
• Misfire Good Trip
• Alternate Good Trip (appears as a Global Good
Trip on DRB III)
• Comprehensive Components
• Major Monitor
• Warm-Up Cycles
Specific Good Trip
The term Good Trip has different meanings
depending on the circumstances:
• If the MIL is OFF, a trip is defined as when the
Oxygen Sensor Monitor and the Catalyst Monitor
have been completed in the same drive cycle.
• If the MIL is ON and a DTC was set by the Fuel
Monitor or Misfire Monitor (both continuous monitors), the vehicle must be operated in the Similar
Condition Window for a specified amount of time.
• If the MIL is ON and a DTC was set by a Task
Manager commanded once-per-trip monitor (such as
the Oxygen Sensor Monitor, Catalyst Monitor, Purge
Flow Monitor, Leak Detection Pump Monitor, EGR
Monitor or Oxygen Sensor Heater Monitor), a good
trip is when the monitor is passed on the next startup.

BR/BE

EMISSIONS CONTROL

25 - 23

EMISSIONS CONTROL (Continued)
• If the MIL is ON and any other emissions DTC
was set (not an OBD II monitor), a good trip occurs
when the Oxygen Sensor Monitor and Catalyst Monitor have been completed, or two minutes of engine
run time if the Oxygen Sensor Monitor and Catalyst
Monitor have been stopped from running.
Fuel System Good Trip
To count a good trip (three required) and turn off
the MIL, the following conditions must occur:
• Engine in closed loop
• Operating in Similar Conditions Window
• Short Term multiplied by Long Term less than
threshold
• Less than threshold for a predetermined time
If all of the previous criteria are met, the PCM will
count a good trip (three required) and turn off the MIL.
Misfire Good Trip
If the following conditions are met the PCM will
count one good trip (three required) in order to turn
off the MIL:
• Operating in Similar Condition Window
• 1000 engine revolutions with no misfire
Warm-Up Cycles
Once the MIL has been extinguished by the Good Trip
Counter, the PCM automatically switches to a Warm-Up
Cycle Counter that can be viewed on the DRB III.
Warm-Up Cycles are used to erase DTCs and Freeze
Frames. Forty Warm-Up cycles must occur in order for
the PCM to self-erase a DTC and Freeze Frame. A
Warm-Up Cycle is defined as follows:
• Engine coolant temperature must start below
and rise above 160° F
• Engine coolant temperature must rise by 40° F
• No further faults occur

Freeze Frame Data Storage
Once a failure occurs, the Task Manager records
several engine operating conditions and stores it in a
Freeze Frame. The Freeze Frame is considered one
frame of information taken by an on-board data
recorder. When a fault occurs, the PCM stores the
input data from various sensors so that technicians
can determine under what vehicle operating conditions the failure occurred.
The data stored in Freeze Frame is usually
recorded when a system fails the first time for two
trip faults. Freeze Frame data will only be overwritten by a different fault with a higher priority.
CAUTION: Erasing DTCs, either with the DRB III or
by disconnecting the battery, also clears all Freeze
Frame data.

Similar Conditions Window
The Similar Conditions Window displays information about engine operation during a monitor. Abso-

lute MAP (engine load) and Engine RPM are stored
in this window when a failure occurs. There are two
different Similar conditions Windows: Fuel System
and Misfire.
FUEL SYSTEM
• Fuel System Similar Conditions Window —
An indicator that ’Absolute MAP When Fuel Sys Fail’
and ’RPM When Fuel Sys Failed’ are all in the same
range when the failure occurred. Indicated by switching from ’NO’ to ’YES’.
• Absolute MAP When Fuel Sys Fail — The
stored MAP reading at the time of failure. Informs
the user at what engine load the failure occurred.
• Absolute MAP — A live reading of engine load
to aid the user in accessing the Similar Conditions
Window.
• RPM When Fuel Sys Fail — The stored RPM
reading at the time of failure. Informs the user at
what engine RPM the failure occurred.
• Engine RPM — A live reading of engine RPM
to aid the user in accessing the Similar Conditions
Window.
• Adaptive Memory Factor — The PCM utilizes
both Short Term Compensation and Long Term Adaptive to calculate the Adaptive Memory Factor for
total fuel correction.
• Upstream O2S Volts — A live reading of the
Oxygen Sensor to indicate its performance. For
example, stuck lean, stuck rich, etc.
• SCW Time in Window (Similar Conditions
Window Time in Window) — A timer used by the
PCM that indicates that, after all Similar Conditions
have been met, if there has been enough good engine
running time in the SCW without failure detected.
This timer is used to increment a Good Trip.
• Fuel System Good Trip Counter — A Trip
Counter used to turn OFF the MIL for Fuel System
DTCs. To increment a Fuel System Good Trip, the
engine must be in the Similar Conditions Window,
Adaptive Memory Factor must be less than calibrated threshold and the Adaptive Memory Factor
must stay below that threshold for a calibrated
amount of time.
• Test Done This Trip — Indicates that the
monitor has already been run and completed during
the current trip.
MISFIRE
• Same Misfire Warm-Up State — Indicates if
the misfire occurred when the engine was warmed up
(above 160° F).
• In Similar Misfire Window — An indicator
that ’Absolute MAP When Misfire Occurred’ and
’RPM When Misfire Occurred’ are all in the same
range when the failure occurred. Indicated by switching from ’NO’ to ’YES’.

OPERATION - NON-MONITORED CIRCUITS GAS ENGINES
The PCM does not monitor the following circuits,
systems and conditions that could have malfunctions
causing driveability problems. The PCM might not
store diagnostic trouble codes for these conditions.
However, problems with these systems may cause the
PCM to store diagnostic trouble codes for other systems or components. EXAMPLE: a fuel pressure
problem will not register a fault directly, but could
cause a rich/lean condition or misfire. This could
cause the PCM to store an oxygen sensor or misfire
diagnostic trouble code
FUEL PRESSURE
The fuel pressure regulator controls fuel system
pressure. The PCM cannot detect a clogged fuel
pump inlet filter, clogged in-line fuel filter, or a
pinched fuel supply or return line. However, these
could result in a rich or lean condition causing the
PCM to store an oxygen sensor or fuel system diagnostic trouble code.
SECONDARY IGNITION CIRCUIT
The PCM cannot detect an inoperative ignition coil,
fouled or worn spark plugs, ignition cross firing, or
open spark plug cables.

CYLINDER COMPRESSION
The PCM cannot detect uneven, low, or high engine
cylinder compression.
EXHAUST SYSTEM
The PCM cannot detect a plugged, restricted or
leaking exhaust system, although it may set a fuel
system fault.
FUEL INJECTOR MECHANICAL MALFUNCTIONS
The PCM cannot determine if a fuel injector is
clogged, the needle is sticking or if the wrong injector
is installed. However, these could result in a rich or
lean condition causing the PCM to store a diagnostic
trouble code for either misfire, an oxygen sensor, or
the fuel system.
EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION
Although the PCM monitors engine exhaust oxygen
content when the system is in closed loop, it cannot
determine excessive oil consumption.
THROTTLE BODY AIR FLOW
The PCM cannot detect a clogged or restricted air
cleaner inlet or filter element.
VACUUM ASSIST
The PCM cannot detect leaks or restrictions in the
vacuum circuits of vacuum assisted engine control
system devices. However, these could cause the PCM
to store a MAP sensor diagnostic trouble code and
cause a high idle condition.
PCM SYSTEM GROUND
The PCM cannot determine a poor system ground.
However, one or more diagnostic trouble codes may
be generated as a result of this condition. The module should be mounted to the body at all times, also
during diagnostic.
PCM CONNECTOR ENGAGEMENT
The PCM may not be able to determine spread or
damaged connector pins. However, it might store
diagnostic trouble codes as a result of spread connector pins.

OPERATION - NON-MONITORED CIRCUITS DIESEL
The PCM and/or the ECM will not monitor certain
malfunctioning circuits or components that could
cause driveability problems. Also, a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) might not be stored for these malfunctions. However, problems with these circuits or
components may cause the PCM/ECM to store DTC’s
for other circuits or components. EXAMPLES: A cylinder with low compression will not set a DTC

directly, but may cause an engine misfire. This in
turn may cause the ECM to set a DTC for an engine
misfire. Or, a dirty or plugged air filter will not set a
DTC directly, but may cause lack of turbocharger
boost. This in turn may cause the ECM to set a DTC
for a boost pressure malfunction.
FUEL PRESSURE
Primary fuel pressure from the fuel tank to the
fuel injection pump is supplied by the low-pressure
fuel transfer pump. High-pressure to the fuel injectors is supplied by the fuel injection pump. The ECM
cannot detect actual fuel pressure, a clogged fuel filter, clogged fuel screen, or a pinched fuel supply or
return line. However, a DTC may be set due to an
engine misfire.
CYLINDER COMPRESSION
The ECM cannot detect uneven, low, or high
engine cylinder compression. However, these could
result in a possible misfire which may set a DTC.
EXHAUST SYSTEM
The ECM cannot detect a plugged, restricted or
leaking exhaust system. However, DTC’s may be set
for engine misfire, high intake manifold temperature,
high engine coolant temperature, turbocharger overboost or turbocharger underboost.
FUEL INJECTOR MECHANICAL MALFUNCTIONS
The ECM cannot determine if a fuel injector is
clogged, the needle is sticking or if the wrong injector

is installed. However, these could result in a possible
misfire which may set a DTC.
EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION
The ECM cannot determine excessive oil consumption. However, if excess oil consumption is high
enough, it could result in a possible engine misfire
which may set a DTC.
AIR FLOW
The ECM cannot detect a clogged, restricted or
dirty air filter element, or a restriction in the air
inlet system. However, these could result in a possible misfire which may set a DTC.
AIR PRESSURE LEAKS
The ECM cannot detect leaks or restrictions in the
air intake system. However, these could cause the
ECM to store a Manifold Air Pressure (MAP) sensor
DTC (boost pressure problem detected).
PCM/ECM SYSTEM GROUNDS
The PCM/ECM cannot directly determine poor system grounds. However, one or more DTC’s may be
generated as a result of poor grounds.
PCM/ECM CONNECTOR ENGAGEMENT
The PCM/ECM may not be able to determine
spread, damaged or corroded connector pins. However, it might store DTC’s as a result of spread connector pins (circuits that are open).

8.0L V-10 ENGINE: Air is drawn into the pump
through a rubber tube that is connected to a fitting
on the air injection pump filter housing (Fig. 3). Air
is drawn into the filter housing from the front of the
vehicle with rubber tube. This tube is used as a
silencer to help prevent air intake noise at the opening to the pump filter housing. An air filter is located
within the air pump filter housing (Fig. 3).
Air is then compressed by the air injector pump. It
is expelled from the pump and routed into a rubber
tube where it reaches the air pressure relief valve
(Fig. 1). Pressure relief holes in the relief valve will

prevent excess downstream pressure. If excess downstream pressure occurs at the relief valve, it will be
vented into the atmosphere.
Air is then routed (Fig. 1) from the relief valve,
through a tube, down to a 9Y9 connector, through the
two one-way check valves and injected at both of the
catalytic convertors (referred to as downstream).
The two one-way check valves (Fig. 1) protect the
hoses, air pump and injection tubes from hot exhaust
gases backing up into the system. Air is allowed to
flow through these valves in one direction only
(towards the catalytic convertors).
Downstream air flow assists the oxidation process
in the catalyst, but does not interfere with EGR operation (if EGR system is used).

EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS
DESCRIPTION - EVAP SYSTEM
The evaporation control system prevents the emission of fuel tank vapors into the atmosphere. When
fuel evaporates in the fuel tank, the vapors pass
through vent hoses or tubes into the two charcoal
filled evaporative canisters. The canisters temporarily hold the vapors. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) allows intake manifold vacuum to draw
vapors into the combustion chambers during certain
operating conditions.
All 5.9L/8.0L gasoline powered engines use a duty
cycle purge system. The PCM controls vapor flow by

operating the duty cycle EVAP purge solenoid. Refer
to Duty Cycle EVAP Canister Purge Solenoid for
additional information.
When equipped with certain emissions packages, a
Leak Detection Pump (LDP) will be used as part of
the evaporative system. This pump is used as part of
OBD II requirements. Refer to Leak Detection Pump
in this group for additional information.
NOTE: The hoses used in this system are specially
manufactured. If replacement becomes necessary, it
is important to use only fuel resistant hose.

CCV HOSE
DESCRIPTION - 8.0L
The 8.0L V-10 engine is equipped with a Crankcase
Ventilation (CCV) system. The CCV system performs
the same function as a conventional PCV system, but
does not use a vacuum controlled valve (PCV valve).
A molded vacuum tube connects manifold vacuum
to the top of the right cylinder head (valve) cover.
The vacuum tube connects to a fixed orifice fitting
(Fig. 1) of a calibrated size 2.6 mm (0.10 inches).

25 - 33

ulates the rate of vapor flow from the EVAP canister
to the throttle body.

OPERATION
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) operates
the solenoid.
During the cold start warm-up period and the hot
start time delay, the PCM does not energize the solenoid. When de-energized, no vapors are purged. The
PCM de-energizes the solenoid during open loop operation.
The engine enters closed loop operation after it
reaches a specified temperature and the time delay
ends. During closed loop operation, the PCM energizes and de-energizes the solenoid 5 or 10 times per
second, depending upon operating conditions. The
PCM varies the vapor flow rate by changing solenoid
pulse width. Pulse width is the amount of time the
solenoid energizes. The PCM adjusts solenoid pulse
width based on engine operating condition.

REMOVAL
The duty cycle solenoid is attached to a bracket
mounted to the right inner fender (Fig. 2).
(1) Disconnect electrical wiring connector at solenoid (Fig. 2).

OPERATION - 8.0L
A molded vacuum tube connects manifold vacuum to
the top of the right cylinder head (valve) cover. The vacuum tube connects to a fixed orifice fitting (Fig. 1) of a
calibrated size 2.6 mm (0.10 inches). The fitting meters
the amount of crankcase vapors drawn out of the
engine. The fixed orifice fitting is grey in color. A
similar fitting (but does not contain a fixed orifice) is
used on the left cylinder head (valve) cover. This fitting
is black in color. Do not interchange these two fittings.
When the engine is operating, fresh air enters the
engine and mixes with crankcase vapors. Manifold
vacuum draws the vapor/air mixture through the
fixed orifice and into the intake manifold. The vapors
are then consumed during engine combustion.

FUEL FILLER CAP
DESCRIPTION
The plastic fuel tank filler tube cap is threaded
onto the end of the fuel fill tube. Certain models are
equipped with a 1/4 turn cap.

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

REMOVAL/INSTALLATION
If replacement of the 1/4 turn fuel tank filler tube
cap is necessary, it must be replaced with an identical cap to be sure of correct system operation.
CAUTION: Remove the fuel tank filler tube cap to
relieve fuel tank pressure. The cap must be
removed prior to disconnecting any fuel system
component or before draining the fuel tank.

LEAK DETECTION PUMP
DESCRIPTION
The Leak Detection Pump (LDP) is used only with
certain emission packages.
The LDP is a device used to detect a leak in the
evaporative system.
The pump contains a 3 port solenoid, a pump that
contains a switch, a spring loaded canister vent valve
seal, 2 check valves and a spring/diaphragm.

OPERATION
Immediately after a cold start, engine temperature
between 40°F and 86°F, the 3 port solenoid is briefly
energized. This initializes the pump by drawing air

into the pump cavity and also closes the vent seal.
During non-test test conditions, the vent seal is held
open by the pump diaphragm assembly which pushes
it open at the full travel position. The vent seal will
remain closed while the pump is cycling. This is due
to the operation of the 3 port solenoid which prevents
the diaphragm assembly from reaching full travel.
After the brief initialization period, the solenoid is
de-energized, allowing atmospheric pressure to enter
the pump cavity. This permits the spring to drive the
diaphragm which forces air out of the pump cavity
and into the vent system. When the solenoid is energized and de-energized, the cycle is repeated creating
flow in typical diaphragm pump fashion. The pump
is controlled in 2 modes:
PUMP MODE: The pump is cycled at a fixed rate
to achieve a rapid pressure build in order to shorten
the overall test time.
TEST MODE: The solenoid is energized with a
fixed duration pulse. Subsequent fixed pulses occur
when the diaphragm reaches the switch closure
point.
The spring in the pump is set so that the system
will achieve an equalized pressure of about 7.5 inches
of water.
When the pump starts, the cycle rate is quite high.
As the system becomes pressurized pump rate drops.
If there is no leak the pump will quit. If there is a
leak, the test is terminated at the end of the test
mode.
If there is no leak, the purge monitor is run. If the
cycle rate increases due to the flow through the
purge system, the test is passed and the diagnostic is
complete.
The canister vent valve will unseal the system
after completion of the test sequence as the pump
diaphragm assembly moves to the full travel position.

REMOVAL
The LDP and LDP filter are attached to a bracket
mounted to the right-inner fender (Fig. 2). The LDP
and LDP filter are replaced (serviced) as one unit.
(1) Carefully remove hose at LDP filter.
(2) Remove LDP filter mounting bolt and remove
from vehicle.
(3) Carefully remove vapor/vacuum lines at LDP.
(4) Disconnect electrical connector at LDP (Fig. 2).
(5) Remove LDP mounting screws and remove
LDP from vehicle.

INSTALLATION
The LDP and LDP filter are attached to a bracket
mounted to the right-inner fender (Fig. 2) . The LDP
and LDP filter are replaced (serviced) as one unit.
(1) Install LDP to mounting bracket. Tighten
screws to 1 N·m (11 in. lbs.) torque.

(3) Carefully install vapor/vacuum lines to LDP,
and install hose to LDP filter. The vapor/vacuum
lines and hoses must be firmly connected.
Check the vapor/vacuum lines at the LDP, LDP
filter and EVAP canister purge solenoid for
damage or leaks. If a leak is present, a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) may be set.
(4) Connect electrical connector to LDP.

OPERATION - V-8 ENGINES
The PCV system operates by engine intake manifold vacuum (Fig. 4). Filtered air is routed into the
crankcase through the air cleaner hose. The metered
air, along with crankcase vapors, are drawn through
the PCV valve and into a passage in the intake manifold. The PCV system manages crankcase pressure
and meters blow by gases to the intake system,
reducing engine sludge formation.

PCV VALVE
DESCRIPTION - V-8 ENGINES
All 5.9L V-8 gas powered engines are equipped
with a closed crankcase ventilation system and a positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) valve. The 8.0L
V-10 engine is not equipped with a PCV valve. Refer
to Crankcase Ventilation System—8.0L V-10 Engine
for information.
This system consists of a PCV valve mounted on
the cylinder head (valve) cover with a hose extending
from the valve to the intake manifold (Fig. 3).
Another hose connects the opposite cylinder head
(valve) cover to the air cleaner housing to provide a
source of clean air for the system. A separate crankcase breather/filter is not used.

The PCV valve contains a spring loaded plunger.
This plunger meters the amount of crankcase vapors
routed into the combustion chamber based on intake
manifold vacuum.
When the engine is not operating or during an
engine pop-back, the spring forces the plunger back
against the seat (Fig. 5). This will prevent vapors
from flowing through the valve.

PCV VALVE (Continued)
During periods of high manifold vacuum, such as
idle or cruising speeds, vacuum is sufficient to completely compress spring. It will then pull the plunger
to the top of the valve (Fig. 6). In this position there
is minimal vapor flow through the valve.

Fig. 6 High Intake Manifold Vacuum—Minimal Vapor
Flow
During periods of moderate manifold vacuum, the
plunger is only pulled part way back from inlet. This
results in maximum vapor flow through the valve
(Fig. 7).

through the valve. Also, a strong vacuum should be
felt at the valve inlet (Fig. 8).
(2) Return the PCV valve into the valve cover.
Remove the fitting and air hose at the opposite valve
cover. Loosely hold a piece of stiff paper, such as a
parts tag, over the opening (rubber grommet) at the
valve cover (Fig. 9).
(3) The paper should be drawn against the opening
in the valve cover with noticeable force. This will be
after allowing approximately one minute for crankcase pressure to reduce.

(5) Replace the PCV valve and retest the system if
it does not operate as described in the preceding
tests. Do not attempt to clean the old PCV valve.
(6) If the paper is not held against the opening in
valve cover after new valve is installed, the PCV
valve hose may be restricted and must be replaced.
The passage in the intake manifold must also be
checked and cleaned.
(7) To clean the intake manifold fitting, turn a 1/4
inch drill (by hand) through the fitting to dislodge
any solid particles. Blow out the fitting with shop air.
If necessary, use a smaller drill to avoid removing
any metal from the fitting.
