Module CHRYSLER VOYAGER 2005 Manual Online

DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS
Power is reduced using pulse-width modulation to
the high beams, where by the power is switched on
and off rapidly instead of remaining on continuously.
The duration and interval of the power pulses is pro-
grammed into the FCM. Daytime running lamps are
functional when 450 rpm's are reached.
HEADLAMP SYSTEM
The headlamp system will default to headlamps
ON position when ignition switch is ON and when an
open or short circuit failure occurs on the headlamp
switch input or PCI data bus communication between
the BCM and the FCM fails. The system will return
to normal operation when the open or short is
repaired. A fault will be reported by the BCM when a
failure occurs on the dimmer or headlamp switch
input.
If the exterior lamps are ON and the headlamp
switch is in any position other than OFF or AUTO
and with the ignition switch OFF (LOCK) after 3
minutes the BCM sends a message via PCI bus to
the FCM informing the FCM to turn off the head-
lamps, park lamps and fog lamps. This feature pre-
vents the vehicle battery from being discharged when
the vehicle lights have been left ON.
HEADLAMP TIME DELAY SYSTEM
The headlamp time delay system is activated by
turning the headlamps ON (high or low beam) while
the engine is running, turning the ignition switch
OFF, and then turning the headlamp switch OFF
within 45 seconds. The system will not activate if
more than 45 seconds elapse between ignition switch
OFF and headlamp switch OFF. The BCM will allow
the headlamps to remain ON for 90 seconds (config-
urable) before they automatically turn off (If the key
is in the ignition during the headlamp time delay
mode, then both the headlamps and park lamps
(including panel dimming) will be ON). Refer to the
Owner's Manual for more information.
If the headlamp switch is in the Auto Headlamp
Position, the headlamps are ON due to the night sig-
nal from the CMTC and the ignition switch is in any
position other than run/start, the BCM shall enter a
90 second (configurable) Auto Headlamps time delay
mode. If the key is in the ignition during the head-
lamp time delay mode, then both the headlamps and
park lamps (including panel dimming) will be ON. If
the key is not in the ignition, then only the head-
lamps will be ON. The BCM will allow the head-
lamps to remain ON for 90 seconds before they
automatically turn OFF. Refer to the Owner's Man-
ual for more information.
OPTICAL HORN/HIGH BEAMS
When the multi-function switch is pulled to the
first detent (optical horn) signal, the headlamps are
ON, key-in the ignition the BCM shall send a mes-
sage via PCI bus to the FCM to turn on the head-
lamps drivers to illuminate all four filaments (Low
and High beams). When the multi-function switch is
pulled to the second detent (high beam) signal and
the headlamps are ON, the BCM shall send a mes-
sage via PCI bus to the FCM to turn on the head-
lamps drivers. The High Beams are illuminated and
the Low Beams and Fog Lamps (if ON) are extin-
guished. If the headlamps were in the high beam
configuration when power was removed from the
headlamps, the headlamps will be configured as low
beam the next time they are activated.
NOTE: For RG - Export vehicles, the low beams and
front fog lamps will remain ON when high beams
are activated.
WARNING

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - HEADLAMP
When a vehicle experiences problems with the
headlamp system, verify the condition of the battery
connections, fuses, charging system, headlamp bulbs,
wire connectors, relay, high beam switch, dimmer
switch, and headlamp switch. Refer to the appropri-
ate wiring information.
Each vehicle is equipped with various lamp assem-
blies. A good ground is necessary for proper lighting
operation. Grounding is provided by the lamp socketwhen it comes in contact with the metal body, or
through a separate ground wire.
When changing lamp bulbs check the socket for
corrosion. If corrosion is present, clean it with a wire
brush.
When it is necessary to remove components to ser-
vice another, it should not be necessary to apply
excessive force or bend a component to remove it.
Before damaging a trim component, verify hidden
fasteners or captured edges are not holding the com-
ponent in place.

MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH
DESCRIPTION - TURN SIGNAL SYSTEM
The turn signals are actuated with a lever on
Multi-Function Switch, located on the left side of the
steering wheel. The signals are automatically turned
off by a canceling cam (two lobes molded to the clock
spring mechanism). The cam comes in contact with
the cancel actuator on the turn signal (multi-func-
tion) switch assembly. Either cam lobe, pushing on
the cancel actuator, returns the switch to the OFF
position. The multi-function switch is a resistive
MUX switch that feeds inputs to the BCM.
OPERATION - TURN SIGNAL SYSTEM
Lane change signaling is actuated by applying par-
tial turn signal stalk movement toward the direction
desired until the indicator lamps flashes in the
instrument cluster. When the switch stalk is released
the stalk will spring back into the neutral position
turning OFF the turn signal.
With the ignition switch ON and the turn signal
switch stalk actuated left or right, current flows
through the:
²Multi-function switch
²Body Control Module
²Integrated Power Module (IPM)
²Turn indicator lamp
²Front and rear turn signal bulbs.
A chime will sound after the vehicle has traveled a
distance of approximately 1.0 mile and a speed of 15
mph, with the turn signal ON.

The compass unit will also compensate for magne-
tism 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 com-
pass unit if placed on the roof panel. The use of mag-
netic tools on the fasteners that hold the overhead
console assembly to the roof header can also affect
compass operation. If the compass operation is
erratic and roof magnetization is suspected (Refer to
8 - ELECTRICAL/OVERHEAD CONSOLE - STAN-
DARD PROCEDURE - COMPASS DEMAGNETIZ-
ING).
DESCRIPTION - TEMPERATURE
All overhead consoles include temperature informa-
tion. The temperature displays the outside ambient
temperature in whole degrees. The temperature dis-
play can be toggled from Fahrenheit to Celsius by
selecting the desired U.S./Metric option from the cus-
tomer programmable features. The displayed temper-
ature is not an instant reading of conditions, but an
average temperature. It may take the temperature
display several minutes to respond to a major tem-
perature change, such as driving out of a heated
garage into winter temperatures.
When the ignition switch is turned to the Off posi-
tion, the last displayed temperature reading stays in
the electronic control modules (CMTC, EVIC) mem-
ory. When the ignition switch is turned to the On
position again, the electronic module will display the
memory temperature for one minute; then update the
display to the current average temperature reading
within five minutes.
The temperature function is supported by an ambi-
ent temperature sensor. The sensor is mounted near
the front and center of the vehicle, and is hard wired
to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The PCM
sends temperature status messages to the module
over the Programmable Communication Interface
(PCI) data bus circuit.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
OVERHEAD CONSOLE
Any diagnosis of the overhead console should
begin with the use of the DRB IIItdiagnostic
tool. For information on the use of the DRB
IIIt, refer to the appropriate Diagnostic Proce-
dures information.If the problem with the overhead console is an
inaccurate or dashed (- -) display, refer to SELF-DI-
AGNOSTIC TEST. If the problem with the overhead
console is incorrect Vacuum Fluorescent Display
(VFD) dimming levels, use a DRB IIItscan tool and
the proper diagnostic procedures information to test
for the correct dimming message inputs being
received from the Body Control Module (BCM) or
Front Control Module (FCM) over the Programmable
Communications Interface (PCI) data bus circuit. If
the problem is a no-display condition, use the follow-
ing procedures.
Inspect the related wiring harness connectors for
broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded terminals.
Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
(1) Check the fused B(+) fuse in the integrated
power module. 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 integrated power module. If OK, go to Step 3.
If not OK, repair the open fused B(+) circuit to the
fused B(+) fuse in the integrated power module as
required.
(3) Check the fused ignition switch output (run/
start) fuse in the integrated power module. 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 integrated power mod-
ule. 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 cavity of the roof wire
harness connector for the electronics module and a
good ground. There should be continuity. If OK, go to
Step 6. If not OK, repair the open ground circuit 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 electronics mod-
ule. If OK, go to Step 7. If not OK, repair the open
fused B(+) circuit to the fused B(+) fuse in the inte-
grated power module 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 har-
ness connector for the electronics module. If OK,
refer to SELF-DIAGNOSTIC TEST. If not OK, repair
the open fused ignition switch output (run/start) cir-
cuit to the fuse in the integrated power module as
required.

SELF-DIAGNOSTIC TEST
A self-diagnostic test is used to determine that the
electronics module is operating properly, and that all
the PCI data bus messages are being received for ini-
tial operation. Initiate the self-diagnostic test as fol-
lows:
(1) With the ignition switch in the Off position, on
Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) and
Compass Mini-Trip Computer (CMTC) equipped vehi-
cles simultaneously depress and hold theSTEPand
theRESETbuttons. On Compass Temperature Mod-
ule (CT) equipped vehicles depress theC/Tand the
US/Mpush buttons.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the On position.
(3) Following completion of these tests, the elec-
tronics module will display one of the following mes-
sages:
a.Pass Self Test (EVIC only), PASS (CT,
CMTC)- The electronics module is working properly.
b.Failed Self Test (EVIC only), FAIL (CT,
CMTC)- The electronics module has an internal fail-
ure. The electronics module is faulty and must be
replaced.
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 mag-
netic field strength, based on geographic location.
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/OVERHEAD CONSOLE -
STANDARD PROCEDURE - COMPASS VARIATION
ADJUSTMENT).
NOTE: If the compass reading display is blank and
only ªCALº appears in the display, demagnetizing
may be necessary to remove excessive residual
magnetic fields from the vehicle. (Refer to 8 - ELEC-
TRICAL/OVERHEAD CONSOLE - STANDARD PRO-
CEDURE - COMPASS DEMAGNETIZING).
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 ser-
vicing the overhead console.The electronic compass unit features a self-cali-
brating design, which simplifies the calibration pro-
cedure. 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 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 Electronic Modules (EVIC, CMTC, CT)
must have their compass calibrated using this proce-
dure. Do not attempt to calibrate the compass near
large metal objects such as other vehicles, large
buildings, or bridges; or, near overhead or under-
ground power lines.
NOTE: Whenever the compass is calibrated manu-
ally, the variance number must also be reset. (Refer
to 8 - ELECTRICAL/OVERHEAD CONSOLE - STAN-
DARD PROCEDURE - COMPASS VARIATION
ADJUSTMENT).
Calibrate the compass manually as follows:
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the On position. If
the compass/thermometer data is not currently being
displayed, momentarily depress and release the C/T
push button to reach the compass/thermometer dis-
play.
(2) On Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC) and Compass Mini-Trip Computer (CMTC)
equipped vehicles depress the Reset push button and
hold the button until ªCALº appears in the display.
This takes about ten seconds, and appears about five
seconds after ªVAR = XXº is displayed. On Compass
Temperature Module (CT) equipped vehicles depress
the C/T push button and US/M push button down
until ªCALº appears in the display. This takes about
ten seconds, and appears about five seconds after
ªVAR = XXº is displayed.
(3) Release the push button(s).
(4) Drive the vehicle on a level surface, away from
large metal objects and power lines, through three or
more complete circles at between five and eight kilo-
meters-per-hour (three and five miles-per-hour) for a
minimum of 48 seconds. The ªCALº message will dis-
appear from the display to indicate that the compass
is now calibrated.
NOTE: If the ªCALº message remains in the display,
either there is excessive magnetism near the com-
pass, or the unit is faulty. Repeat the calibration
procedure one more time.

SPECIAL TOOLS
OVERHEAD CONSOLE
ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFO
CENTER
DESCRIPTION
The Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)
is located in the overhead console. The EVIC features
a large Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) screen for
displaying information, and back-lit push button
switches labeled C/T (compass/thermometer), RESET,
STEP, and MENU. The EVIC module contains a cen-
tral processing unit and interfaces with other elec-
tronic modules in the vehicle over the Programmable
Communications Interface (PCI) data bus circuit.
The EVIC ªMenuº push button provides the vehicle
operator with a user interface, which allows the
selection of several optional customer programmable
electronic features to suit individual preferences.
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/OVERHEAD CONSOLE/
ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFO CENTER - STAN-
DARD PROCEDURE - ELECTRONIC VEHICLE
INFORMATION CENTER PROGRAMMING).
If the vehicle is equipped with the optional univer-
sal transmitter transceiver, the EVIC will also dis-
play messages and an icon indicating when the
universal transmitter transceiver is being trained,
which of the three transmitter buttons is transmit-
ting, and when the transceiver is cleared.Data input for all EVIC functions, including VFD
dimming level, is received through the PCI data bus
circuit. The EVIC module uses its internal program-
ming and all of its data inputs to calculate and dis-
play the requested data. If the data displayed is
incorrect, perform the SELF - DIAGNOSTIC TEST
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/OVERHEAD CONSOLE -
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). If these tests prove
inconclusive, the use of a DRBIIItscan tool and the
proper diagnostic procedures information are recom-
mended for further testing of the EVIC module and
the PCI data bus circuit.
The EVIC module cannot be repaired, and is avail-
able for service only as a unit. This unit includes the
plastic module and display lens. If any of these com-
ponents is faulty or damaged, the complete EVIC
module must be replaced.
OPERATION
The Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)
uses both non-switched and ignition switched sources
of battery current so that some of its features remain
operational at any time, while others may only oper-
ate with the ignition switch in the On position. When
the ignition switch is turned to the On position, the
EVIC module Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD)
will return to the last function being displayed before
the ignition was turned to the Off position.
The compass/thermometer display is the normal
EVIC display. With the ignition switch in the On
position, momentarily depressing and releasing the
C/T (compass/thermometer) push button switch will
cause the EVIC to return to the compass/thermome-
ter/trip computer display mode from any other mode.
While in the compass/thermometer/trip computer dis-
play mode, momentarily depressing and releasing the
Step push button will step through the available trip
computer display options.
The EVIC trip computer features several functions
that can be reset. The functions that can be reset
are:
²Average fuel economy
²Trip odometer
²Elapsed time
With the ignition switch in the On position and
with one of the functions of the trip computer that
can be reset currently displayed, depressing the
Reset push button twice within four seconds will per-
form a global reset, and all of the trip computer
information that can be reset will be reset to zero.
With the ignition switch in the On position and the
function that is to be reset currently displayed,
momentarily depressing and holding the Reset push
button for one second will perform a local reset, and
only the value of the displayed function will be reset
to zero. A global or local reset will only occur if the

function currently displayed is a function that can be
reset. The distance to service function can also be
reset using the local reset method, but it will reset
back to the Service Interval distance that is set in
the EVIC programmable features mode. (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/OVERHEAD CONSOLE/ELEC-
TRONIC VEHICLE INFO CENTER - STANDARD
PROCEDURE).
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFORMATION CENTER
Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) data
is obtained from the Body Control Module (BCM) on
the Programmable Communications Interface (PCI)
Data Bus circuit. The EVIC will display dashes (- -)
for any of the screens it did not receive the bus mes-
sages. The label corresponding to the missing infor-
mation will be lit. If no EVIC data is displayed,
check the PCI Data Bus circuit communications and
the BCM. If the dimming level is improper check the
PCI Data Bus circuit.
The use of a DRBIIItscan tool and the proper
diagnostic procedures information are recommended
for further testing of the EVIC module and the PCI
data bus circuit. Perform the SELF-DIAGNOSTIC
TEST before replacing the EVIC module (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/OVERHEAD CONSOLE - DIAGNO-
SIS AND TESTING).
