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.

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.

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION (Continued)

²Depressing the OFF switch
²Depressing the CANCEL switch.
NOTE: Depressing the OFF switch or turning off
the ignition switch will erase the set speed stored
in the PCM.
For added safety,the speed control system is pro-
grammed to disengaged for any of the following con-
ditions:
²An indication of Park or Neutral
²An rpm increase without a VSS signal increase
(indicates that the clutch has been disengaged)
²Excessive engine rpm (indicates that the trans-
mission may be in a low gear)
²The VSS signal increases at a rate of 10 mph
per second (indicates that the co-efficient of friction
between the road surface and tires is extremely low)
²The VSS signal decreases at a rate of 10 mph
per second (indicates that the vehicle may have
decelerated at an extremely high rate)
²If the actual speed is not within 20 mph of the
set speed
The previous disengagement conditions are pro-
grammed for added safety.
Once the speed control has been disengaged,
depressing the ACCEL switch when speed is greater
than 25 mph restores the vehicle to the target speed
that was stored in the PCM.
NOTE: Depressing the OFF switch will erase the
set speed stored in the PCM's RAM.
While the speed control is engaged, the driver can
increase the vehicle speed by depressing the ACCEL
switch. The new target speed is stored in the PCM
when the ACCEL is released. The PCM also has a
9tap-up9feature in which vehicle speed increases at a
rate of approximately 2 mph for each momentary
switch activation of the ACCEL switch. The PCM
also provides a means to decelerate without disen-
gaging speed control. To decelerate from an existing
recorded target speed, depress and hold the COAST
switch until the desired speed is reached, then
release the switch.
The individual switches cannot be repaired. If one
switch fails, the entire switch module must be
replaced.
AUTOMATIC SPEED CONTROL OVERSPEED
REDUCTION
Transmission control software includes an auto-
matic speed control overspeed reduction feature. This
maintains vehicle speed at the selected set point
when descending a grade.
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) first
senses that the speed control is set. If the set speedis exceeded by more than 4 mph (6.5 km/hr) and the
throttle is closed, the TCM causes the transaxle to
downshift to THIRD gear. After downshifting, the
automatic speed control resumes normal operation.
To ensure that an upshift is appropriate after the set
speed is reached, the TCM waits until the speed con-
trol system opens the throttle at least 8 degrees
before upshifting to OVERDRIVE again.
If the driver applies the brakes, canceling auto-
matic speed control operation with the transaxle still
in THIRD gear, the TCM maintains this gear until
the driver opens the throttle at least 8 degrees to
avoid an inappropriate upshift. The upshift is also
delayed for 0.5 seconds after reaching the 8 degrees
throttle opening in anticipation that the driver might
open the throttle enough to require THIRD gear.
This will avoid unnecessary and disturbing transmis-
sion cycling. If the automatic speed control RESUME
feature is used after braking, the upshift is delayed
until the set speed is achieved to reduce cycling and
provide better response.
STOP LAMP SWITCH
Vehicles equipped with the speed control option use
a dual function stop lamp switch. The switch is
mounted on the brake pedal mounting bracket under
the instrument panel. The PCM monitors the state of
the dual function stop lamp switch. Refer to Group 5,
Brakes for more information on stop lamp switch ser-
vice and adjustment procedures.
SERVO CABLE
The speed control servo cable is connected between
the speed control vacuum servo diaphragm and the
throttle body control linkage. This cable causes the
throttle control linkage to open or close the throttle
valve in response to movement of the vacuum servo
diaphragm.
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE
The speed control electronic control circuitry is
integrated into the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). The PCM is located in the engine compart-
ment. The PCM speed control functions are moni-
tored by the On-Board Diagnostics (OBD). All OBD-
sensed systems are monitored by the PCM. Each
monitored circuit is assigned a Diagnostic Trouble
Code (DTC). The PCM will store a DTC in electronic
memory for any failure it detects. See On-Board
Diagnostic Tests in this group for more information.
The PCM cannot be repaired and must be replaced if
faulty.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (Continued)

STEP IS NOT DONE A DIAGONSTIC TROUBLE
CODE (DTC) MAY BE SET.
VACUUM RESERVOIR
The reservoir contains a one-way check valve to
trap engine vacuum in the reservoir. When engine
vacuum drops, as in climbing a grade while driving,
the reservoir supplies the vacuum needed to main-
tain proper speed control operation. The vacuum res-
ervoir cannot be repaired and must be replaced if
faulty.
VEHICLE SPEED AND DISTANCE
The 4 speed automatic Transmission Control Mod-
ule (TCM) supplies the speed input to the PCM. The
PCM determines acceleration rates. The speed con-
trol software in the PCM uses vehicle speed and
acceleration to control to the set speed.
Vehicles with a 3 speed automatic or manual trans-
mission have a vehicle speed sensor (VSS) mounted
to an adapter near the transmission output shaft.
The sensor is driven through the adapter by a speed-
ometer pinion gear. The VSS pulse signal is moni-
tored by the PCM to determine vehicle speed and to
maintain speed control set speed. Refer to the appro-
priate Powertrain Diagnostic Procedures manual for
diagnosis and testing of this component. Refer to
group 14, Fuel System for Removal/Installation
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
ROAD TEST
Perform a vehicle road test to verify reports of
speed control system malfunction. The road test
should include attention to the speedometer. Speed-
ometer operation should be smooth and without flut-
ter at all speeds.
Flutter in the speedometer indicates a problem
which might cause surging in the speed control sys-
tem. The cause of any speedometer problems should
be corrected before proceeding. Refer to Group 8E,
Instrument Panel and Gauges for speedometer diag-
nosis.
If a road test verifies a surge following a set and
the speedometer operates properly see ªOvershoot/
Undershoot on speed control setº.
If a road test verifies an inoperative system, and
the speedometer operates properly, check for:
²A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC). If a DTC
exists, conduct tests per the Powertrain Diagnostic
Procedures service manual.
²A misadjusted brake (stop) lamp switch. This
could also cause an intermittent problem.
²Loose or corroded electrical connections at the
servo. Corrosion should be removed from electricalterminals and a light coating of Mopar Multipurpose
Grease, or equivalent, applied.
²Leaking vacuum reservoir.
²Loose or leaking vacuum hoses or connections.
²Defective one-way vacuum check valve.
²Secure attachment at both ends of the speed
control servo cable.
²Smooth operation of throttle linkage and throttle
body air valve.
²Conduct electrical test at PCM.
²Failed speed control servo. Do the servo vacuum
test.
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.
OVERSHOOT/UNDERSHOOT FOLLOWING SPEED
CONTROL SET
If the operator repeatedly presses and releases the
set button with their foot off of the accelerator (a ªlift
foot setº to begin speed control operation), the vehicle
may accelerate and exceed the desired set speed by
up to 5 MPH (8 km/h) and then decelerate to less
than the desired set speed before finally achieving
the desired set speed.
The Speed Control has an adaptive strategy that
compensates for vehicle-to-vehicle variations in speed
control cable lengths. When the speed control is set
with the vehicle operators foot off of the accelerator
pedal, the speed control thinks there is excessive
speed control cable slack and adapts. If the lift foot
sets are continually used, the speed control over-
shoot/undershoot condition will develop.
To ªunlearnº the overshoot/undershoot condition,
the vehicle operator has to press and release the set
button while maintaining the desired set speed with
the accelerator pedal (not decelerating or accelerat-
ing), and then turn the cruise control switch to the
OFF position (or press the CANCEL button if
equipped) after waiting 10 seconds. This procedure
must be performed approximately 10±15 times to
completely unlearn the overshoot/undershoot condi-
tion.
CHECKING FOR DIAGNOSTIC CODES
When trying to verify a speed control system elec-
tronic malfunction: Connect a DRB scan tool if avail-
able to the data link connector. The connector is
located at left side of the steering column, and at
lower edge of the panel.
(1) A speed control malfunction may occur without
a diagnostic code being indicated.

INTRODUCTION
This group covers both Left-Hand Drive (LHD) and
Right-Hand Drive (RHD) versions of this model.
Whenever feasible, the RHD versions of affected
vehicle components have been constructed as mirror-
image of the LHD versions. While most of the illus-
trations used in this group represent only the LHD
version, the diagnostic and service procedures out-
lined can generally be applied to either version.
Exceptions to this rule have been clearly identified as
LHD or RHD, if a special illustration or procedure
was/is required.
The speed control system used with the 2.5L diesel
engine is basically identical to the system used with
gasoline powered engines. Features unique to the
diesel engine will be covered in this section.
²Models equipped with the 2.5L diesel engine do
not use a vacuum reservoir to retain engine vacuum
for speed control operation. There are no vaccum-op-
erated speed control servos used in vehicles with the
2.5L diesel engine.
²The range of the speed control system operation
is restricted to speeds between 56 km/h (35 MPH) to
145 km/h (90 MPH).
²Inputs to the MSA that allow speed control oper-
ation are from the vehicle speed sensor and the
Speed Control Switch.²Two separate speed control switch modules are
mounted on the steering wheel to the left and right
side of the driver's airbag module. Switch features
are:
a. Within the two switch modules, fivemomen-
tarycontact switches, supporting seven different
speed control functions are used.
b. The outputs from these switches are filtered
into one input. The MSA determines which output
has been applied throughresistive multiplexing.
The input circuit voltage is measured by the MSA
to determine which switch function has been
selected.
c. A speed control indicator lamp, located on the
instrument panel cluster is energized by the MSA
via the CCD Bus. This occurs when speed control
system power has been turned ON, and the engine
is running.
d. The two switch modules are labeled: ON/OFF,
SET, RESUME/ACCEL, CANCEL and COAST.
Refer to the owner's manual for more information
on speed control switch functions and setting pro-
cedures. The individual switches cannot be
repaired. If one individual switch fails, the switch
module must be replaced.

GENERAL INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
The turn signals are actuated with a lever on the
left side of the steering column just ahead 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.
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:
²Combination flasher
²Multi-function switch
²Turn indicator lamp
²Front and rear turn signal bulbs.
A chime will sound after the vehicle has traveled a
distance of approximately 0.5 mile with the turn sig-
nal ON.
COMBINATION FLASHER
The Turn Signal/Hazard Warning Flasher is a
module providing the vehicle with turn signal and
hazard warning functions and has been designed
with internal relays to take advantage of low current
switching requirements in the vehicle. It is plugged
into the Junction Block at position 4 (Fig. 1), where
all wiring associated with its operation is terminated.The Junction Block is adjacent to and left of the
steering column of the vehicle.
To gain access to the flasher, remove the lower
steering column cover and knee blocker. Refer to
