GENERAL INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
Operating instructions for the factory installed
audio systems can be found in the Owner's Manual
provided with the vehicle.
NS vehicles are equipped with an Ignition Off
Draw (IOD) fuse in the power distribution center
located in the engine compartment. After the IOD
fuse or battery has been disconnected, the radio sta-
tion sets and clock will require resetting.
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
ANTENNA
All models use a fixed-length stainless steel rod-
type antenna mast, installed at the right front fender
of the vehicle. The antenna mast is connected to the
center wire of the coaxial antenna cable, and is not
grounded to any part of the vehicle.
To eliminate static, the antenna base must have a
good ground. The coaxial antenna cable shield (the
outer wire mesh of the cable) is grounded to the
antenna base and the radio chassis.
The antenna coaxial cable has an additional dis-
connect, located near the right end of the instrument
panel. This additional disconnect allows the instru-
ment panel assembly to be removed and installed
without removing the radio.
The factory-installed Electronically Tuned Radios
(ETRs) automatically compensate for radio antenna
trim. Therefore, no antenna trimmer adjustment isrequired or possible when replacing the receiver or
the antenna.
INTERFERENCE ELIMINATION
Some components used on the vehicles are
equipped with a capacitor to suppress radio fre-
quency interference/static.
Capacitors are mounted in various locations inter-
nal to the generator, instrument cluster and wind-
shield wiper motor.
To eliminate radio interference, ground straps are
used in different areas of the vehicle. These ground
circuits should be securely tightened to assure good
metal to metal contact. The ground straps conduct
very small high frequency electrical signals to ground
and require clean surface contact area. The radio
ground is supplied from the instrument panel har-
ness and is attached to the rear of the radio. Some
engines have other ground straps to eliminate fur-
ther radio interference:
²Radio chassis to instrument panel structure
²Engine to dash panel
²Engine to chassis
²A/C h valve to dash panel
Radio resistance type spark plug cables in the high
tension circuit of the ignition system complete the
interference suppression. Faulty or deteriorated
spark plug wires should be replaced.
RADIOS
Available factory-installed radio receivers for this
model include an AM/FM/cassette (RAS sales code),
an AM/FM/cassette/5-band graphic equalizer with CD
changer control feature (RBN sales code), an AM/FM/
NSAUDIO SYSTEMS 8F - 1

bracket behind the junction block/body control mod-
ule (Fig. 5).
REMOTE RADIO SWITCHES
A remote radio control switch option is available on
LXI models sold in North America with the AM/FM/
cassette/5-band graphic equalizer with CD changer
control feature (RBN sales code), or the AM/FM/CD/
cassette/3-band graphic equalizer (RAZ sales code)
radio receivers. Two rocker-type switches are
mounted on the back (instrument panel side) of the
steering wheel spokes. The switch on the left spoke is
the seek switch and has seek up, seek down, and pre-
set station advance functions. The switch on the
right spoke is the volume control switch and has vol-
ume up, and volume down functions (Fig. 6).
These switches are resistor multiplexed units that
are hard-wired to the Body Control Module (BCM)
through the clockspring. The BCM sends the propermessages on the Chrysler Collision Detection (CCD)
data bus network to the radio receiver. For diagnosis
of the BCM or the CCD data bus, the use of a DRB
scan tool and the proper Diagnostic Procedures man-
ual are recommended. For more information on the
operation of the remote radio switch controls, refer to
the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box.
NAME BRAND SPEAKER RELAY
Relay is located in the junction block. To test relay
refer to the Audio Diagnostic Test Procedures or use
a known good relay.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING

WARNING: ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIR-
BAGS, REFER TO GROUP 8M - PASSIVE
RESTRAINT SYSTEMS BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY
STEERING WHEEL, STEERING COLUMN, OR
INSTRUMENT PANEL COMPONENT DIAGNOSIS OR
SERVICE. FAILURE TO TAKE THE PROPER PRE-
CAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL AIR-
BAG DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL
INJURY.
The following four tests are used to diagnose the
antenna with an ohmmeter:
²Test 1- Mast to ground test
²Test 2- Tip-of-mast to tip-of-conductor test
²Test 3- Body ground to battery ground test
²Test 4- Body ground to coaxial shield test.
The ohmmeter test lead connections for each test
are shown in Antenna Tests (Fig. 7).
NOTE: This model has a two-piece antenna coaxial
cable. Tests 2 and 4 must be conducted in two
steps to isolate a coaxial cable problem; from the
coaxial cable connection under the right end of the
instrument panel near the right cowl side panel to
the antenna base, and then from the coaxial cable
connection to the radio chassis connection.
TEST 1
Test 1 determines if the antenna mast is insulated
from the base. Proceed as follows:
(1) Unplug the antenna coaxial cable connector
from the radio chassis and isolate.
(2) Connect one ohmmeter test lead to the tip of
the antenna mast. Connect the other test lead to the
antenna base. Check for continuity.
(3) There should be no continuity. If continuity is
found, replace the faulty or damaged antenna base
and cable assembly.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (Continued)

TEST 2
Test 2 checks the antenna for an open circuit as
follows:
(1) Unplug the antenna coaxial cable connector
from the radio chassis.
(2) Connect one ohmmeter test lead to the tip of
the antenna mast. Connect the other test lead to the
center pin of the antenna coaxial cable connector.
(3) Continuity should exist (the ohmmeter should
only register a fraction of an ohm). High or infinite
resistance indicates damage to the base and cable
assembly. Replace the faulty base and cable, if
required.
TEST 3
Test 3 checks the condition of the vehicle body
ground connection. This test should be performed
with the battery positive cable removed from the bat-
tery. Disconnect both battery cables, the negative
cable first. Reconnect the battery negative cable and
perform the test as follows:
(1) Connect one ohmmeter test lead to the vehicle
fender. Connect the other test lead to the battery
negative post.
(2) The resistance should be less than (1) ohm.
(3) If the resistance is more than (1) ohm, check
the braided ground strap connected to the engine and
the vehicle body for being loose, corroded, or dam-
aged. Repair the ground strap connection, if required.
TEST 4
Test 4 checks the condition of the ground between
the antenna base and the vehicle body as follows:(1) Connect one ohmmeter test lead to the vehicle
fender. Connect the other test lead to the outer crimp
on the antenna coaxial cable connector.
(2) The resistance should be less then (1) ohm.
(3) If the resistance is more then (1) ohm, clean
and/or tighten the antenna base to fender mounting
hardware.

amperage draw does not drop to 0 amps, repair short
at the Junction Block.
(5) Disengage a wire connector from one of the
horns. If amperage drops and the connected horn
sounds, replace the faulty horn. If amperage does not
drop with both horns disconnected and the horn
switch depressed, proceed to Step 6.
(6) Using a continuity tester, with the horns dis-
connected test continuity of the X2 cavity of the horn
relay to ground. Refer to Group 8W, Wiring Diagrams
for circuit information. If continuity is detected, the
circuit is grounded between the Junction Block and
the horns. Locate and repair pinched harness.

(b) If NO continuity, proceed to Step 4.
(3) Using a suitable jumper wire, jump across the
fuse F62 cavity and the X2 cavity of the horn relay in
the Junction Block.
(a) If the horn sounds, replace the horn relay.
(b) If the horn does not sound, proceed to Step 4.
(4) Remove airbag/horn pad from steering wheel.
Refer to Group 8M, Restraint Systems for proper pro-
cedures.
(5) Test continuity across horn switch connectors
with horn switch depressed.
(a) If continuity is detected, repair open circuit
between the relay and the horn switch.
(b) If NO continuity, replace airbag cover.
(6) Install horn relay into Junction Block.
(7) Disengage wire connectors from horns.
(8) Using a voltmeter, with the horn switch
depressed test voltage across horn connector termi-
nals of the wire harness (Fig. 3).
(a) If voltage is detected, replace horns.
(b) If NO voltage, proceed to step Step 9.
(9) With the horn switch depressed, test for volt-
age between the X2 circuit and ground.

GENERAL INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
The speed control system is electronically con-
trolled and vacuum operated. The electronic control
is integrated into the powertrain control module,
located next to battery. The controls are located on
the steering wheel and consist of the ON/OFF, SET,
RESUME/ACCEL, CANCEL and DECEL buttons
(Fig. 1).
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
SPEED CONTROL SERVO
The servo unit consists of a solenoid valve body,
and a vacuum chamber. The PCM controls the sole-
noid valve body. The solenoid valve body controls the
application and release of vacuum to the diaphragm
of the vacuum servo. The servo unit cannot be
repaired and is serviced only as a complete assembly.
SPEED CONTROL SWITCHES
There are two separate switch pods that operate
the speed control system. The steering-wheel-
mounted switches use multiplexed circuits to provide
inputs to the PCM for ON, OFF, RESUME, ACCEL-
ERATE, SET, DECEL and CANCEL modes. Refer to
the owner's manual for more information on speed
control switch functions and setting procedures.
When speed control is selected by depressing the
ON switch, the PCM allows a set speed to be stored
in RAM for speed control. To store a set speed,
depress the SET switch while the vehicle is moving
at a speed between 30 and 85 mph. In order for the
speed control to engage, the brakes cannot be
applied, nor can the gear selector be indicating the
transmission is in Park or Neutral.
The speed control can be disengaged manually by:
²Stepping on the brake pedal
