TRANS COOLER
DESCRIPTION
An internal high capacity/high efficiency cooler is
used on all vehicles, these coolers are an oil-to-cool-
ant type, which consists of plates mounted in the
radiator outlet tank.Because the internal oil cooler is
so efficient, no auxiliary oil cooler is offered. The
cooler is not serviceable separately from the radiator.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - FLUSHING
COOLERS AND TUBES
When a transmission failure has contaminated the
fluid, the oil cooler(s) must be flushed. The torque
converter must also be replaced. This will insure that
metal particles or sludged oil are not later trans-
ferred back into the reconditioned (or replaced) trans-
mission.
The only recommended procedure for flushing cool-
ers and lines is to use Tool 6906-B Cooler Flusher.
WARNING: WEAR PROTECTIVE EYEWEAR THAT
MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS OF OSHA AND ANSI
Z87.1±1968. WEAR STANDARD INDUSTRIAL RUB-
BER GLOVES. KEEP LIGHTED CIGARETTES,

NOTE: When flushing transmission cooler and
lines, ALWAYS reverse flush.
NOTE: The converter drainback valve must be
removed and an appropriate replacement hose
installed to bridge the space between the transmis-
sion cooler line and the cooler fitting. Failure to
remove the drainback valve will prevent reverse
flushing the system. A suitable replacement hose
can be found in the adapter kit supplied with the
flushing tool.
(5) Connect the BLUE pressure line to the OUT-
LET (From) cooler line.
(6) Connect the CLEAR return line to the INLET

OPERATION
There are two common strategies that can be used
to suppress Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) and
ElectroMagnetic Interference (EMI) radio noise. The
first suppression strategy involves preventing the
production of RFI and EMI electromagnetic signals
at their sources. The second suppression strategy
involves preventing the reception of RFI and EMI
electromagnetic signals by the audio system compo-
nents.
The use of braided ground straps in key locations
is part of the RFI and EMI prevention strategy.
These ground straps ensure adequate ground paths,
particularly for high current components such as
many of those found in the starting, charging, igni-
tion, engine control and transmission control sys-
tems. An insufficient ground path for any of these
high current components may result in radio noise
caused by induced voltages created as the high cur-
rent seeks alternative ground paths through compo-
nents or circuits intended for use by, or in close
proximity to the audio system components or circuits.
Preventing the reception of RFI and EMI is accom-
plished by ensuring that the audio system compo-
nents are correctly installed in the vehicle. Loose,
corroded or improperly soldered wire harness connec-
tions, improperly routed wiring and inadequate audio
system component grounding can all contribute to
the reception of RFI and EMI. A properly grounded
antenna body and radio chassis, as well as a shielded
antenna coaxial cable with clean and tight connec-
tions will each help reduce the potential for reception
of RFI and EMI.

ever occurs first. The overspeed warning feature is
only enabled on a BCM that has been programmed
with a Middle East Gulf Coast Country (GCC) coun-
try code.
²No Airbag Indicator Message Warning- The
EMIC chime tone generator will generate one, short,
ªbong-likeº chime tone and turn on the ªAirbagº indi-
cator when the ignition switch is in the On position,
and a PCI data bus ªAirbagº indicator on or off mes-
sage is not received from the ACM for six consecutive
seconds.
²No Antilock Brake Indicator Message Warn-
ing- The EMIC chime tone generator will generate
one, short, ªbong-likeº chime tone and turn on the
ªABSº indicator when the ignition switch is in the On
position, and a PCI data bus ªABSº indicator on or
off message is not received from the CAB for six con-
secutive seconds.
²No Fuel Level Message Warning- The EMIC
chime tone generator will generate one, short, ªbong-
likeº chime tone and turn on the ªLow Fuelº indica-
tor when the ignition switch is in the On position,
and a PCI data bus fuel level message is not received
from the PCM for twelve consecutive seconds.
²Remote Keyless Entry Transmitter Pro-
gramming- On vehicles so equipped, the EMIC
chime tone generator will generate a single ªbong-
likeº chime tone when an electronic message is
received over the PCI data bus from the BCM indi-
cating that a Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmit-
ter has been successfully programmed by the
customer into the RKE module memory.
²Sentry Key Immobilizer System Transpon-
der Programming- On vehicles so equipped, the
EMIC chime tone generator will generate a single
ªbong-likeº chime tone when an electronic message is
received over PCI data bus message from the Sentry
Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM) indicating that the
Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) has been
placed in the ªCustomer Learnº programming mode,
and again each time a new SKIS transponder has
been successfully programmed by the customer.
²Turn Signal Cancel Warning- The EMIC
chime tone generator will generate repetitive ªbong-
likeº chime tones at a slow rate when the vehicle is
driven for a distance of about 3.2 kilometers (about
two miles) with a turn signal indicator flashing. The
EMIC uses an electronic message received over the
PCI data bus from the PCM, and a hard wired input
from the turn signal switch circuitry of the multi-
function switch to determine when to sound the turn
signal cancel warning. The PCM uses internal pro-
gramming and distance pulse information received
over a hard wired vehicle speed pulse input from the
BCM to determine the proper vehicle speed messages
to send to the EMIC. The BCM uses an internallyprogrammed electronic pinion factor and a hard
wired input from the rear wheel speed sensor to cal-
culate the proper distance pulse information to send
to the PCM. The electronic pinion factor represents
the proper tire size and axle ratio information for the
vehicle. These chimes will continue to sound until
the turn signal is turned Off, until the hazard warn-
ing system is turned On, or until the ignition switch
is turned to the Off position, whichever occurs first.
²Water-In-Fuel Warning- On vehicles equipped
with a diesel engine, each time the ignition switch is
turned to the On position, the EMIC chime tone gen-
erator will generate a single ªbong-likeº chime tone
the first time an electronic message is received over
the PCI data bus from the PCM requesting ªWater-
in-Fuelº indicator illumination. The PCM uses inter-
nal programming and a hard wired input from the
water-in-fuel sensor to determine the proper water-
in-fuel messages to send to the EMIC. This warning
will only occur once during an ignition cycle.
The EMIC provides chime service for all available
features in the chime warning system. The EMIC
relies upon its internal programming and hard wired
inputs from the turn signal (multi-function) switch,
the washer fluid level switch, and the engine coolant
level sensor (diesel engine only) to provide chime ser-
vice for the turn signal cancel warning, the low
washer fluid warning, and the low coolant warning
respectively. The EMIC relies upon electronic mes-
sage inputs received from other electronic modules
over the PCI data bus network to provide chime ser-
vice for all of the remaining chime warning system
features. Upon receiving the proper inputs, the EMIC
activates the integral chime tone generator to pro-
vide the audible chime warning to the vehicle opera-
tor. The internal programming of the EMIC
determines the priority of each chime request input
that is received, as well as the rate and duration of
each chime tone that is to be generated. See the own-
er's manual in the vehicle glove box for more infor-
mation on the features provided by the chime
warning system.
The hard wired chime warning system inputs to
the EMIC, as well as other hard wired circuits for
this system may be diagnosed and tested using con-
ventional diagnostic tools and procedures. However,
conventional diagnostic methods may not prove con-
clusive in the diagnosis of the EMIC, the PCI data
bus network, or the electronic message inputs used
by the EMIC to provide chime warning system ser-
vice. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means
to diagnose the EMIC, the PCI data bus network,
and the electronic message inputs for the chime
warning system requires the use of a DRBIIItscan
tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

PROGRAMMING
NOTE: Before replacing the PCM for a failed driver,
control circuit, or ground circuit, be sure to check
the related component/circuit integrity for failures
not detected due to a double fault in the circuit.
Most PCM driver/control circuit failures are caused
by internal component failures (i.e. relays and sole-
noids) and shorted circuits (i.e. pull-ups, drivers,
and switched circuits). These failures are difficult to
detect when a double fault has occurred and only
one DTC has been set.
When a PCM (JTEC) and the SKIM are replaced
at the same time, perform the following steps in
order:
(1) Program the new PCM (JTEC).(2) Program the new SKIM.
(3) Replace all ignition keys and program them to
the new SKIM.
PROGRAMMING THE PCM (JTEC)
The SKIS Secret Key is an ID code that is unique
to each SKIM. This code is programmed and stored
in the SKIM, the PCM, and the ignition key tran-
sponder chip(s). When replacing the PCM, it is nec-
essary to program the secret key into the new PCM
using the DRBIIItscan tool. Perform the following
steps to program the secret key into the PCM.
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the On position
(transmission in Park/Neutral).

BODY CONTROL MODULE
DESCRIPTION
A Body Control Module (BCM) is concealed behind
the driver side end of the instrument panel in the
passenger compartment, where it is secured to the
fuse panel side of the Junction Block (JB) with four
screws (Fig. 1). The JB is the interface between the
body, the instrument panel, and the headlamp and
dash wire harnesses. The JB also contains the fuses
and relays used for the interior electrical system of
the vehicle. The BCM is enclosed in a molded plastic
housing with two integral external connector recepta-
cles that connect it to the vehicle electrical system
through two take outs with connectors from the
instrument panel wire harness (Fig. 2). The BCM
also has an integral interface connector concealed on
the back side of the unit that joins it through a con-
nector receptacle that is integral to the JB housing to
the circuitry within the JB. This connector is referred
to as the JB-BCM connector. The combined BCM and
JB are sometimes referred to as the Junction Block
Module (JBM).

There are two different versions of the BCM: base
and premium. The base BCM is a subset of the com-
ponents in the premium version. Basically, the base
version BCM does not support the following features:
Compass Mini-Trip Computer (CMTC), fog lamps
(front and/or rear), Remote Keyless Entry (RKE),
remote radio switches, or Vehicle Theft Security Sys-
tem (VTSS). Both versions of the BCM utilize inte-
grated circuitry and information carried on the
Programmable Communications Interface (PCI) databus 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 out-
puts and the transmission of electronic message out-
puts to other electronic modules in the vehicle over
the PCI data bus. The electronic functions and fea-
tures that the BCM supports or controls include the
following:
²A/C Select Switch Status- The BCM monitors
an input from, and transmits the status of the A/C
switch on the heater-A/C control.
²Ambient Temperature Data- The premium
BCM monitors and transmits the ambient tempera-
ture sensor input data.
²Cargo Lamp Disable- The BCM monitors an
input from the cargo lamp switch to provide an inte-
rior lighting disable feature.
²Chimes- The chime tone generator is located
on the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC)
circuit board, but the EMIC goes to sleep with the
ignition switch in the Off position. The BCM provides
a wake-up output to the EMIC based upon inputs
from the key-in ignition switch or the exterior light-
ing switch, then sends electronic chime request mes-
sages to the EMIC for the headlamps-on warning
and key-in ignition warning.
²Door Lock Inhibit- The BCM monitors the
key-in ignition switch and the driver side front door
ajar switch to provide a door lock inhibit feature.
²Exterior Lamp Load Shedding- The BCM
provides a battery saver feature which will automat-
ically turn off exterior lamps that remain on after a
timed interval.
²Exterior Lamp Status- The BCM monitors
the status of the park lamp, low beam, high beam or
Daytime Running Lamp (DRL - Canada only), front
fog lamp (optional), and rear fog lamp (in required
markets only) relays.
²Exterior Lighting Control- The BCM pro-
vides exterior lamp control for standard head and
park lamps, as well as Daytime Running Lamps
(DRL - Canada only), front fog lamps (optional), and
rear fog lamps (in required markets only). This
includes support for features including optical horn
(also known as flash-to-pass) and headlamp time
delay.
²Flip-Up Glass Control- The BCM monitors
the tailgate cylinder lock switch, the tailgate handle
switch, the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) module
inputs and the rear wiper switch to provide control
for the rear flip-up glass actuator.

tors inputs from the interior lighting switch, the door
ajar switches, the flip-up glass ajar switch, the tail-
gate ajar switch, the cargo lamp switch, the reading
lamp switches, and the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
module to provide courtesy lamp control. This
includes support for timed illuminated entry with
theater-style fade-to-off and courtesy illumination
defeat features.
²Intermittent Wipe and Front Wiper System
Control- The BCM monitors inputs from the front
wiper and washer switch and the front wiper motor
park switch to provide front wiper system control
through the wiper on/off and high/low relays. This
includes support for adjustable intermittent wipe,
mist wipe (also known as pulse wipe), and wipe-after-
wash features.
²Key-In-Ignition Switch Status- The BCM
monitors and transmits the status of the key-in-igni-
tion switch.
²Panic Mode- The BCM provides support for
the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system panic mode
feature.
²Parade Mode- The BCM provides a parade
mode (also known as funeral mode) that allows the
interior Vacuum Fluorescent Displays (VFD) to be
illuminated at full intensity while driving in daylight
with the exterior lamps On.²Power Locks- The BCM monitors inputs from
the power lock switches and the Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) module (optional) to provide control of
the power lock motors through outputs to the lock,
unlock, and driver unlock (RKE only) relays. This
includes support for rolling door locks (also known as
automatic door locks) and a door lock inhibit mode.
²Programmable Features- The BCM provides
support for several standard and optional program-
mable features, including: rolling door locks, head-
lamp time delay interval, Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) driver-door-only or unlock-all-doors, RKE opti-
cal chirp, and RKE audible chirp.

BCM monitors and transmits the status of the tail-
gate and rear flip-up glass ajar switches.
²Remote Radio Switch Interface- The pre-
mium BCM monitors and transmits the status of the
optional remote radio switches.
²Self-Diagnostics- The BCM provides support
for diagnostics through communication with the
DRBIIItscan tool over the PCI data bus network.
Each analog and digital input can be verified, and
each output can be actuated through the use of this
diagnostic protocol. The BCM also stores Diagnostic
Trouble Codes (DTCs) to assist in troubleshooting
this unit.
²Vacuum Fluorescent Display Synchroniza-
tion- The BCM transmits panel lamp intensity data
which allows modules with Vacuum Fluorescent Dis-
plays (VFD) to coordinate their illumination inten-
sity.
²Vehicle Speed System- The BCM monitors a
vehicle speed input from the vehicle speed sensor
(without Antilock Brake System [ABS]) or from the
Controller Antilock Brake (CAB)(with ABS), calcu-
lates the vehicle speed based upon a programmed
axle ratio/tire size (electronic pinion factor), and
transmits the vehicle speed information to the Pow-
ertrain Control Module (PCM) on a hard wired out-
put circuit.
