BODY CONTROL MODULE
DESCRIPTION
The Body Control Module (BCM) is concealed
below the driver side end of the instrument panel in
the passenger compartment, where it is secured to
the dash panel.
The BCM utilizes integrated circuitry and informa-
tion carried on the Programmable Communications
Interface (PCI) 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 BCM allow it to control and integrate many
electronic functions and features of the vehicle
through both hard wired outputs and the transmis-
sion of electronic message outputs to other electronic
modules in the vehicle over the PCI data bus.
8E - 2 ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULESRS
ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES (Continued)

OPERATION
The Body Control Module (BCM) is designed to
control and integrate many of the electronic features
and functions of the vehicle. The microprocessor-
based BCM hardware and software 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 PCI
data bus network. The internal programming and all
of these inputs allow the BCM 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 BCM program-
ming then performs those tasks and provides those
features through both PCI data bus communication
with other electronic modules and through hard
wired low current outputs to a number of relays.
These relays provide the BCM with the ability to
control numerous high current accessory systems in
the vehicle.
The BCM monitors its own internal circuitry as
well as many of its input and output circuits, and
will store a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) in elec-
tronic memory for any failure it detects. These DTCs
can be retrieved and diagnosed using a DRBIIItscan
tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

CONTROLLER ANTILOCK
BRAKE
DESCRIPTION
The controller antilock brake (CAB) is a micropro-
cessor-based device which monitors the antilock
brake system (ABS) during normal braking and con-trols it when the vehicle is in an ABS stop. The CAB
is mounted to the HCU as part of the integrated con-
trol unit (ICU) (Fig. 1). The CAB uses a 24-way elec-
trical connector on the vehicle wiring harness. The
power source for the CAB is through the ignition
switch in the RUN or ON position. The CAB is on
the PCI bus.
OPERATION
The primary functions of the controller antilock
brake (CAB) are to:
²Monitor the antilock brake system for proper
operation.
²Detect wheel locking or wheel slipping tenden-
cies by monitoring the speed of all four wheels of the
vehicle.
²Control fluid modulation to the wheel brakes
while the system is in an ABS mode.
²Store diagnostic information.
²Provide communication to the DRBIIItscan tool
while in diagnostic mode.
²Illuminate the amber ABS warning indicator
lamp.
²(With traction control only) Illuminate the TRAC
ON lamp in the message center on the instrument
panel when a traction control event occurs.
²(with traction control only) Illuminate the TRAC
OFF lamp when the amber ABS warning indicator
lamp illuminates.
The CAB constantly monitors the antilock brake
system for proper operation. If the CAB detects a
fault, it will turn on the amber ABS warning indica-
tor lamp and disable the antilock braking system.

RSELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES8E-3
BODY CONTROL MODULE (Continued)

The normal base braking system will remain opera-
tional.
NOTE: If the vehicle is equipped with traction con-
trol, the TRAC OFF lamp will illuminate anytime the
amber ABS warning indicator lamp illuminates.
The CAB continuously monitors the speed of each
wheel through the signals generated by the wheel
speed sensors to determine if any wheel is beginning
to lock. When a wheel locking tendency is detected,
the CAB commands the CAB command coils to actu-
ate. The coils then open and close the valves in the
HCU that modulate brake fluid pressure in some or
all of the hydraulic circuits. The CAB continues to
control pressure in individual hydraulic circuits until
a locking tendency is no longer present.
The CAB contains a self-diagnostic program that
monitors the antilock brake system for system faults.
When a fault is detected, the amber ABS warning
indicator lamp is turned on and the fault diagnostic
trouble code (DTC) is then stored in a diagnostic pro-
gram memory. These DTC's will remain in the CAB
memory even after the ignition has been turned off.
The DTC's can be read and cleared from the CAB
memory by a technician using the DRBIIItscan tool.
If not cleared with a DRBIIItscan tool, the fault
occurrence and DTC will be automatically cleared
from the CAB memory after the identical fault has
not been seen during the next 3,500 miles.

POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (Continued)

SKIM is properly installed on the steering column,
the antenna ring fits snugly around the circumfer-
ence of the ignition lock cylinder housing. If this ring
is not mounted properly, communication problems
may arise in the form of transponder-related faults.
For added system security, each SKIM is pro-
grammed with a unique9Secret Key9code. This code
is stored in memory and is sent over the PCI bus to
the PCM and to each key that is programmed to
work with the vehicle. The9Secret Key9code is there-
fore a common element found in all components of
the Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS). In the
event that a SKIM replacement is required, the
9Secret Key9code can be restored from the PCM by
following the SKIM replacement procedure found in
the DRB IIItscan tool. Proper completion of this
task will allow the existing ignition keys to be repro-
grammed. Therefore, new keys will NOT be needed.
In the event that the original9Secret Key9code can
not be recovered, new ignition keys will be required.
The DRB IIItscan tool will alert the technician if
key replacement is necessary. Another security code,
called a PIN, is used to gain secured access to the
SKIM for service. The SKIM also stores in its mem-
ory the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), which it
learns through a bus message from the assembly
plant tester. The SKIS scrambles the information
that is communicated between its components in
order to reduce the possibility of unauthorized SKIM
access and/or disabling.
OPERATION
When the ignition switch is moved to the RUN
position, the SKIM transmits an RF signal to the
transponder in the ignition key. The SKIM then
waits for a response RF signal from the transponder
in the key. If the response received identifies the key
as valid, the SKIM sends a9valid key9message to
the PCM over the PCI bus. If the response received
identifies the key as invalid or no response is
received from the transponder in the ignition key, the
SKIM sends an9invalid key9message to the PCM.
The PCM will enable or disable engine operation
based upon the status of the SKIM messages. It is
important to note that the default condition in the
PCM is9invalid key.9Therefore, if no response is
received by the PCM, the engine will be immobilized
after two (2) seconds of running.
The SKIM also sends indicator light status mes-
sages to the BCM to operate the light. This is the
method used to turn the light ON solid or to flash it
after the indicator light test is complete to signify a
fault in the SKIS. If the light comes ON and stays
ON solid after the indicator light test, this signifies
that the SKIM has detected a system malfunction
and/or that the SKIS has become inoperative. If theSKIM detects an invalid keyORa key-related fault
exists, the indicator light will flash following the
indicator light test. The SKIM may also request an
audible chime if the customer key programming fea-
ture is available and the procedure is being utilized.

der Key, Standard Procedure - Transponder Program-

SLIDING DOOR CONTROL
MODULE
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with a power sliding door utilize
a sliding door control module. The sliding door con-
trol module is located behind the sliding door trim
panel in the center of the door, just above the sliding
door motor. This module controls the operation of the
door through the Programmable Communication
Interface (PCI) J1850 data bus circuit and the Body
RSELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES8E-23
SENTRY KEY IMMOBILIZER MODULE (Continued)

Control Module. The sliding door control module con-
tains software technology which enables it to detect
resistance to door travel and to reverse door travel in
order to avoid damage to the door or to avoid possible
personal injury if the obstruction is a person. This
feature functions in both the opening and closing
cycles. If the power sliding door system develops any
problems the control module will store and recall
Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC). The use of a diag-
nostic scan tool, such as the DRB IIItis required to
read and troubleshoot these trouble codes. The slid-
ing door control module can be reflashed if necessary.
Refer to the latest Technical Service Bulletin (TSB)
Information for any updates.
The power door control module is a replaceable
component and cannot be repaired, if found to be
faulty it must be replaced. Consult your Mopary
parts catalog for a specific part number.
OPERATION
The power sliding door control module serves as
the main computer for the power sliding side door
system. All power door functions are processed
through the power door control module and/or the
vehicles body control module (BCM). At the start of a
power open command, a signal is sent to the BCM
and then to the power door control module via the
J1850 data bus circuit. This signal, generated by any
of the power door command switches, tells the power
door control module to activate a power latch release,
engage the clutch assembly and drive the door into
the full open position. If an obstacle is felt during
this power open cycle, the module will reverse direc-
tion and close the door. This process is also enabled
during a power close cycle. This process will repeat
three times, and if a fourth obstacle is detected, the
door will go into full manual mode. Once the full
open position is obtained, a hold open latch assembly
mounted full open switch tells the control module
that the door has reached the full open position. If
the power sliding door system develops any problems
the control module will store and recall Diagnostic
Trouble Codes (DTC). The use of a diagnostic scan
tool, such as the DRB IIItis required to read and
troubleshoot these trouble codes.

TRANSMISSION CONTROL
MODULE
DESCRIPTION
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) is located
behind the left fender and is fastened with three
screws to three clips in the left frame rail forward of
the suspension (Fig. 13).
OPERATION
The TCM is the controlling unit for all electronic
operations of the transaxle. The TCM receives infor-
mation regarding vehicle operation from both direct
and indirect inputs, and selects the operational mode
of the transaxle. Direct inputs are hardwired to, and
used specifically by the TCM. Indirect inputs origi-
nate from other components/modules, and are shared
with the TCM via the communication bus.
Some examples ofdirect inputsto the TCM are:
²Battery (B+) voltage
²Ignition ªONº voltage
²Transmission Control Relay (Switched B+)
²Throttle Position Sensor
²Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP)
²Transmission Range Sensor (TRS)
²Pressure Switches (L/R, 2/4, OD)
²Transmission Temperature Sensor (Integral to
TRS)
²Input Shaft Speed Sensor
