GENERAL INFORMATION
The vehicle speed control system (Fig. 1) is electri-
cally actuated and vacuum operated. The turn signal
lever on the steering column incorporates a slide
switch that has three positions OFF, ON or RE-
SUME. A SET button is in the end of the lever. This
device is designed to operate at speeds above approx-
imately 35 mph.
WARNING: THE USE OF SPEED CONTROL IS NOT
RECOMMENDED WHEN DRIVING CONDITIONS DO
NOT PERMIT MAINTAINING A CONSTANT SPEED,
SUCH AS HEAVY TRAFFIC OR ON ROADS THAT
ARE WINDING, ICY, SNOW COVERED, OR SLIP-
PERY.TO ACTIVATE:Put ON/OFF switch in ON posi-
tion. When the desired speed is achieved, push and
release the SET button to turn on and engage the
system. Remove foot from accelerator. Speed will be
maintained at this level.
TO DEACTIVATE:A soft tap of the brake pedal,
normal brake application or depressing the clutch
pedal while the system is engaged will disengage
speed control without erasing memory. A sudden in-
crease in engine speed may be experienced if the
clutch pedal is depressed while the speed control sys-
tem is engaged. Moving the slide switch to the OFF
position or turning the ignition OFF also disengages
the system and in addition erases the memory.

ROAD TEST
Refer to Operational Check (Road Test) section to
verify reports of speed control system malfunction.
INOPERATIVE SYSTEM
Road test vehicle to verify reports of speed control
system malfunction. An inspection should be made
for loose electrical and vacuum connections at the
servo.
Check for correct installation of the vacuum check
valve in the hose from servo to vacuum source. The
word VAC on the valve must point toward the vac-
uum source.
Corrosion should be removed from electrical termi-
nals and a light coating of Mopar MultiPurpose
Grease, or equivalent, applied.
Inspection also should be made to verify that both
ends of the speed control cable are securely attached.
CHECKING FOR DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE
(1) When trying to verify a speed control system
electronic malfunction use a DRB scan tool to find
the cause (refer to Powertrain Diagnostic Procedures
manual).
If DRB is not available, the Diagnostic Trouble
Code (DTC) may be determined with the following
method:
(a) With key inserted in ignition switch, cycle
switch to ON position 3 times. On third cycle, leave
switch in ON position.
(b) After switch has been cycled 3 times, observe
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (CHECK ENGINE)
on instrument cluster. If a DTC is present, the code
will be displayed in a series of flashes representing
digits. Three flashes in rapid succession, a slight
pause, then 4 flashes in rapid succession would in-
dicate DTC 34.
(2) If a DTC 34 is observed, perform tests in the
sections Electrical Tests at Servo and Electrical Tests
at Powertrain Control Module.
If a DTC 15 is observed, perform test for a faulty
vehicle speed sensor.
(3) Correct any problems found when performing
these tests and recheck for DTC if changes were
made.
VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR TEST
For testing of the vehicle speed sensor and related
components, refer to Powertrain Diagnostic Proce-
dures manual.
VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL SYSTEM ELECTRICAL
TESTS
Vehicle speed control systems may be tested using
two different methods. One involves use of a DRB
scan tool. If this test method is desired, refer to Pow-
ertrain Diagnostic Procedures manual.
The other test method uses a voltmeter. The volt-
meter method is described in the following tests.
If any information is needed concerning wiring, re-
fer to Section 8W - Wiring Diagrams.
CAUTION: When test probing for voltage or conti-
nuity 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.
ELECTRICAL TESTS AT SERVO
(1) Turn ignition switch to the ON position. With
speed control switch in the ON position, setup a volt-
meter to read battery voltage and connect negative
lead to a good chassis ground.
(2) Disconnect 4-way connector going to servo
(Figs. 2 and 3). Blue wire with red tracer of main
harness 4-way connector should read approximately
battery voltage. If not, check for loose connections,
brake switch adjustment or, repair main harness as
necessary.
(3) Connect a jumper wire between male and fe-
male terminals of blue wire with red tracer. The
other 3 male terminals from servo should show bat-
tery voltage. If not, replace servo.
(4) Using an ohmmeter, connect one lead to a good
body ground. Touch other lead to black wire terminal
in 4-way connector of main harness. Meter should
show continuity. If not, repair ground circuit as nec-
essary.
JVEHICLE SPEED CONTROL SYSTEM 8H - 5
Page 396 of 1784
perform the speed control switch test. If switch is not
at fault, then check main harness and repair as nec-
essary.
(8) Using an ohmmeter, connect one lead to a good
body ground and touch other lead to terminal in cav-
ity number 29. With brake pedal released, meter
should show continuity. When pedal is depressed,
meter should show open circuit.
SPEED CONTROL SWITCH (TURN SIGNAL LEVER)
TEST
STOP LAMP SPEED CONTROL SWITCH TEST
(1) Disconnect double connector at switch pigtail
and connect a 12 volt source to either terminal. Con-
nect a test lamp between other terminal and a good
ground. The test lamp should be on when brakepedal is in normal position. The test light should go
off when brake pedal is depressed approximately 3/8
of an inch.
(2) If test lamp does not respond properly, the stop
lamp switch is defective or out of adjustment.
(3) Stop lamp switch adjustment is detailed in
Group 5 - Brakes section of this manual.
VACUUM SUPPLY TEST
(1) Disconnect vacuum hose at servo or vacuum
reservoir and install a vacuum gauge in hose (Fig.
6).
(2) Start engine and observe gauge at idle. Vac-
uum gauge should read at least ten inches of mer-
cury.
(3) If vacuum does not meet this requirement,
check for vacuum leaks or poor engine performance.
OPERATIONAL CHECK (ROAD TEST)
The following sequential checks are performed with
the speed switch ON and vehicle speed faster than 35
mph:
(1) Press the SET button in end of multi-function
lever. Vehicle should maintain set speed.
(2) Hold SET button in, and remove foot from ac-
celerator. Vehicle should coast to a slower speed.
(3) Release SET button. Speed control will engage
and hold a slower speed, provided the speed remains
above 35 mph.

Rear Window Defogger Grid Repair........... 2Rear Window Defogger Grid Test............. 1
Switch Testing............................ 2
Using heating elements bonded to the rear window
glass, the rear defogger will clear condensation, frost
and light snow coverings from the rear window.
The horizontal grid lines and vertical bus bar lines,
printed and baked on inside surface of the rear win-
dow glass, comprise an electrical circuit. The electri-
cally conductive lines are composed of a silver-
ceramic material which when baked on glass
becomes bonded to the glass and is highly resistant
to abrasion.
The electrical current required to produce the heat
in the grid is supplied through a relay and driver op-
erated switch. When the switch is momentarily de-
pressed, the relay senses a voltage change. This
voltage change causes the relay to change state and
complete a circuit to energize the relay. Once the re-
lay energizes, the contacts close connecting the grid
to battery power.
On the XJ, the power circuit to the grid is pro-
tected by the 25 amp, #18 fuse in the fuse box.
Power for fuse #18 comes from the power distribu-
tion center, fuse #F10. Power for the relay is pro-
tected by the 20 amp, #8 fuse located in the fuse box.
On the YJ, the grid is protected by a 25 amp #6
fuse, located in the fuse box. Power for the relay is
protected by 15 amp #9 fuse, located in the fuse box.
To defog the rear window, momentarily depress the
rocker switch. A light on the rocker switch will illu-
minate indicating that the defogger is operating.
If the ignition switch is ON the first activation of
the defog/defrost feature will last for 10 minutes.
Succeeding activations will last for 5 minutes unless
the ignition switch is turned OFF; then it will recy-
cle back to 10 minutes for the first activation.To stop defogger operation, momentarily push the
switch a second time.
CAUTION: Use care when washing the inside of the
rear window to prevent damage to the defogger
heating elements. Use a soft cloth and a mild wash-
ing solution. Wiping motions should be parallel to
the heating elements. Also, keep all objects a safe
distance from the window to prevent damaging the
heating elements.
REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER GRID TEST
It is possible, that a break may exist or occur in an
individual grid line resulting in no current flow
through the line. When a grid has an open circuit,
the area of glass normally cleared by that grid re-
mains fogged or iced unless, and until it is cleared by
the adjacent grids.
With the engine running at idle, push the rear
window defogger switch to the ON position and re-
lease. The pilot lamp in the rocker switch should
light, indicating defogger operation.
Using a 12-volt DC voltmeter, contact the positive
lead to the feed side vertical bus element on the in-
side surface of the glass. Contact the negative lead to
the ground side bus element. Meter should read be-
tween 11 and 13 volts. Connect the negative lead of
the voltmeter to a good ground; the meter reading
should be constant.
Keep the negative lead connected to ground. Use
the positive lead and carefully contact each grid at
the approximate centerline of the window.
