DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - HEADLAMP
A good ground is necessary for proper lighting
operation. Grounding is provided by the lamp socket
when it comes in contact with the metal body, or
through a separate ground wire.
Always begin any diagnosis by testing all of the
fuses and circuit breakers in the system. For com-plete circuit diagrams, refer to the appropriate wir-
ing 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.

HEADLAMP SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The headlamp switch module is located on the
instrument panel. The headlamp switch controls the
parking lamps, and the headlamps. A separate switch
in the module controls the interior lamps and instru-
ment cluster illumination. This switch also contains
a rheostat for controlling the illumination level of the
cluster lamps.
OPERATION
The headlamp switch has an off position, a parking
lamp position, and a headlamp on position. High
beams are controlled by the multifunction switch on
the steering column. The headlamp switch cannot be
repaired. It must be replaced.

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 measure-
ments. While in either compass mode, depressing the
U.S./Metric push button for more than ten seconds
will toggle the display between the compass/temper-
ature 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/tem-
perature 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 com-
pass/temperature mode) will cause a global reset. A
global reset changes all of the trip computer func-
tions 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.

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 dis-
arms the factory-installed Vehicle Theft Security Sys-
tem (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 elec-
tronic 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 arm-
ing or disarming the VTSS, the RKE system also
controls the following features:
²Horn 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.
²Illuminated Entry- The CTM provides illumi-
nated entry by internally controlling the current flow
to the courtesy lamps in the vehicle through a hard
wired output circuit.
²Panic 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 con-
trols the current flow to the courtesy lamps in the
vehicle through a hard wired output circuit. The
CTM also monitors the vehicle speed through elec-
tronic messages it receives from the Powertrain Con-
trol 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 DRBIIItscan
tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
Many of the electronic features in the vehicle con-
trolled or supported by the high-line or premium ver-
sions of the CTM are programmable using the
DRBIIItscan tool. In addition, the high-line/pre-
mium CTM software is Flash compatible, whichmeans it can be reprogrammed using Flash repro-
gramming 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 diag-
nostic information.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - POWER LOCKS
The following tests provide a preliminary diagnosis
for the power lock system usedonlyon vehicles
equipped with a base version of the Central Timer
Module (CTM). These testsdo notapply to the diag-
nosis 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 informa-
tion includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and con-
nector repair procedures, details of wire harness
routing and retention, connector pin-out information
and location views for the various wire harness con-
nectors, 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:
²If 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).
²If 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).
²If 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/
POWER LOCKS/POWER LOCK MOTOR - DIAGNO-
SIS AND TESTING).

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - POWER LOCK &
REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM
The following tests include a preliminary diagnosis
for the power lock system usedonlyon vehicles
equipped with the optional Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) system, which includes a high-line or premium
Central Timer Module (CTM). These testsdo 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 - DIAG-
NOSIS 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 DRBIIItscan tool. The DRBIIItscan
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:
²If 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 TEST-
ING).
²If 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 KEYLESSENTRY TRANSMITTER - DIAGNOSIS AND TEST-
ING).
²If 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).
²If 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 - DIAG-
NOSIS AND TESTING).
²If one power lock motor fails to operate with
both of the power lock switches, both of the door cyl-
inder lock switches and/or the RKE transmitter, pro-
ceed 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 diag-
nosis should be performed using a DRBIIItscan 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 Cen-
tral 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-

OPERATION
The ambient photocell sensor is located on the for-
ward-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 auto-
matic 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 mon-
itors the transmission using an input from the
backup lamp circuit. The mirror circuitry is pro-
grammed 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 electri-
cally 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 for-
ward, 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 sup-
port 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 toHeated Seat Systemfor information on the individually controlled heated
front seats. Refer to the owner's manual in the vehi-
cle 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 elec-
trically 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.

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 direc-
tion 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 pro-
tect it from overload. However, consecutive or fre-
quent 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 electri-
cally 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 com-
presses or relaxes a grid of flexible slats. The morethis grid is compressed, the more the slats bow out-
ward 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 nor-
mally operates very quietly and exhibits little visible
movement. If the power lumbar adjuster fails to oper-
ate 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 - DIAGNO-
SIS AND TESTING). If the power lumbar adjuster
fails to operate in either direction, perform the fol-
lowing 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 cir-
cuit 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 con-
nector 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 cir-
cuit 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 har-
ness 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.
