Electric JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 2003 WJ / 2.G Owner's Guide

OPERATION
The audio system components are designed to pro-
vide audio entertainment and information through
the reception, tuning and amplification of locally
broadcast radio signals in both the Amplitude Modu-
lating (AM) and Frequency Modulating (FM) com-
mercial frequency ranges. Electromagnetic radio
signals that are broadcast from a radio station
induce electrical modulations into the audio system
antenna mast. The antenna body and cable conduct
these weak signals from the antenna mast to the
radio. The radio then tunes and amplifies these weak
radio frequency signals into stronger electrical audio
signals that are required in order to operate the
audio system speakers. The speakers convert these
electrical signals into air movement, which repro-
duces the sounds being broadcast by the radio sta-
tion.
Some audio systems also offer the user the option
of selecting from and listening to prerecorded audio
cassette tapes, audio compact discs, or both. Regard-
less of the media type, the audio system components
provide the user with the ability to electronically
amplify and adjust the audio signals being repro-
duced by the speakers within the vehicle to suit the
preferences of the vehicle occupants.
The audio system components operate on battery
current received through a fuse in the Junction Block
(JB) on a fused ignition switch output (run-acc) cir-
cuit so that the system will only operate when the
ignition switch is in the On or Accessory positions.
On vehicles that are equipped with the optional
remote radio switches, the BCM receives hard wired
resistor multiplexed inputs from the remote radio
switches. The programming in the BCM allows it to
process those inputs and send the proper messages to
the radio receiver over the PCI data bus to control
the radio volume up or down, station seek up or
down, preset station advance, and mode advance
functions.On vehicles equipped with the optional memory
system, when the DDM receives a Driver 1 or Driver
2 memory recall input from the memory switch on
the driver side front door trim panel or a memory
recall message from the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
receiver in the PDM, the DDM sends a memory
recall message back to the radio receiver over the
PCI data bus to recall the radio station presets and
last station listened to information.
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.

ANTENNA BODY & CABLE
DESCRIPTION
The antenna body and cable is secured below the
fender panel by the antenna cap nut through a
mounting hole in the of the right front fender (Fig.
2). The primary coaxial antenna cable is then routed
beneath the fender sheet metal and through a 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 kick panel. The secondary
coaxial cable is then routed behind the instrument
panel to the back of the radio.
OPERATION
The antenna body and cable connects the antenna
mast to the radio. The radio antenna is an electro-
magnetic circuit component used to capture radio fre-
quency signals that are broadcast by local
commercial radio stations in both the Amplitude
Modulating (AM) and Frequency Modulating (FM)
frequency ranges. These electromagnetic radio fre-
quency 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.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - ANTENNA BODY
AND CABLE
The following four tests are used to diagnose the
antenna with an ohmmeter:
²Test 1- Mast to ground test
²Test 2- Tip-of-mast to tip-of-conductor test
²Test 3- Body ground to battery ground test
²Test 4- Body ground to antenna coaxial cable
shield test.

RADIO
DESCRIPTION
Available factory-installed radio receivers for this
model include an AM/FM/cassette with CD changer
control feature (RBB sales code), an AM/FM/CD/2-
band graphic equalizer with CD changer control fea-
ture (RBK sales code), or an AM/FM/CD/cassette/2-
band graphic equalizer (RBP sales code). All factory-
installed radio receivers can communicate on theProgrammable Communications Interface (PCI) data
bus network through a separate wire harness connec-
tor. All factory-installed receivers are stereo Electron-
ically 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 War-
ranty 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 posi-
tion. Failure to place the ignition switch in the Off
position can cause the radio display to become scram-
bled when the IOD fuse is removed and replaced.
Removing and replacing the IOD fuse again, with 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 Power Distribution Center (PDC).
Refer to the fuse layout label on the underside of the
PDC cover for IOD fuse identification and location.
OPERATION
The radio receiver operates on ignition switched
battery current that is available only when the igni-
tion 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 pro-
cedures, and control functions for each of the avail-
able factory-installed radio receivers, refer to the
owner's manual. 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 har-
ness routing and retention, connector pin-out infor-
mation and location views for the various wire
harness connectors, splices and grounds.

panel, but do not disconnect the wire harness connec-
tors. Check for continuity between the radio receiver
chassis and a good ground. There should be continu-
ity. If OK, go to Step 6. If not OK, repair the open
ground circuit to ground as required.
(6) Test the radio receiver antenna. (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/AUDIO/ANTENNA BODY & CABLE -
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). If OK, go to Step 7. If
not OK, replace the faulty antenna or coaxial cable
as required.
(7) Connect the battery negative cable. Turn the
ignition switch to the On position. Check for battery
voltage at the fused ignition switch output (acc/run)
circuit cavity of the 22 pin radio wire harness connec-
tor. If OK, go to Step 8. If not OK, repair the open
fused ignition switch output (acc/run) circuit to the
junction block fuse as required.
(8) Turn the ignition switch to the Off position.
Check for battery voltage at the fused B(+) circuit
cavity of the 22 pin radio wire harness connector. If
OK, replace the faulty radio receiver. If not OK,
repair the open fused B(+) circuit to the junction
block fuse as required.
