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

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.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (Continued)

coming from the module, replace the Memory Seat/
Mirror Module.
²If P9 low current battery is present at (cavity 5)
referenced to ground Z1 (cavity 1) of the seat switch,
verify the presence of the P9 voltage at the switch
outputs. If there is no output voltage from the
switch, replace the switch.
²If P9 voltage is present at the output of the
switch, but there is no reaction from the memory
seat/mirror module, verify that the P9 voltage is
present at the appropriate 21-way connector pins
into the module. If the P9 voltage is not present at
the 21-way connector, repair or replace the seat wir-
ing harness. If the verification check of the seat wir-
ing harness is correct, replace the control module.
(2) If the control module does not respond with a
relay click to a specific seat switch when actuated,
verify the continuity of the particular circuit between
the seat switch and the Memory Seat/Mirror Module.
If the P9 voltage is present at the correct input of the
21-way connector of the module when the switch is
actuated, but there is no response by the module,
replace the Memory Seat/Mirror Module.
(3) If the Memory Seat/Mirror Module responds
with a relay click when a seat switch is actuated for
a given direction, but there is no reaction from a seat
or recliner motor relating to that switch input, dis-
connect the 10-way connector from the control mod-
ule. Jumper the battery and ground from cavities 8
and 7 of the seat harness 10-way connector to the
proper cavities for the seat or recliner motor in ques-
tion and direction of travel desired. If the motor oper-
ates, replace the control module. If the motor does
not operate, verify continuity of the wiring into the
motor 2-way connector. Repair or replace the wiring
as necessary. If the wiring has continuity, and the
motor will not operate when fed directly, replace the
track assembly, since the motor/transmission combi-
nations are not designed to be serviced on an individ-
ual basis.
SEAT AND RECLINER POSITION SENSING
Seat and recliner position sense ground reference
circuit P28 BR/RD feed is from the memory seat/mir-
ror module (cavity 10) 21-way connector to each of
the position sense connectors.
Seat and recliner position sense +5 volt feed circuit
P29 BR/WT feed is from the memory seat/mirror
module (cavity 20) 21-way connector to each of the
position sense connectors.
To test for the presence of a sense voltage, a volt
meter must be used as follows:
²Connect the negative probe to the P28 circuit
(cavity 10) of the 21-way connector.
²Connect the positive probe to the P29 circuit
(cavity 20) of the 21-way connector and verify a volt-age reading between 3.5 and 5 volts when a seat or
recliner switch is activated.An internal timer in
the Memory Seat/Mirror Module (MSM Module)
regulates the length of time this voltage stays
active i.e., 3 seconds from the time that the
switch was activated, unless the switch is held
or while the transmission is out of PARK.If the
voltage is less than 3.5, there is a fault in the system
that is drawing it down. To troubleshoot this circuit,
disconnect the 25-way connector from the MSM Mod-
ule (this removes all of the vehicle mirror circuitry).
If the voltage is still less than 3.5, disconnect each of
the position sense connectors from each of the
motors. If the voltage remains less than 3.5, replace
the MSM Module. If the voltage increases when a
motor is disconnected from the system, determine if
the fault is in the wiring or the motor assembly.
Repair or replace the wire harness assembly as
needed. If the fault is in the motor position sensing
potentiometer, replace the track assembly.
²The potentiometers built onto the motor end-bell
provide voltages to the MSM Module through the
21-way connector, which change as follows, corre-
sponding to the given seat actuations. Refer to Seat
Actuations Table.
SERVICE PROCEDURES
REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY (RKE) DATA LINK
The memory seat/mirror module interfaces with
the RKE via a serial data link (single wire). The pro-
gramming sequence to relate an RKE transmitter to
the chosen seat, recliner and side view mirror posi-
tions consists of the following steps:
(1) Adjust the seat, recliner and side view mirrors
to the desired position.
(2) Press momentarily and release memory switch

notify the module of a request from a programmed
transmitter, that an UNLOCK button has been
pressed. This UNLOCK request (from a transmitter
associated with either switch 1 or 2) will activate the
NSPOWER SEATS 8R - 9
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING (Continued)

Removing magnetic interfering objects will usually
restore normal compass operation. If the compass
display remains blank while the CAL label is illumi-
nated, then the roof panel requires demagnetizing. To
demagnetize use Special Tool 6029 for demagnetizing
the roof panel. The demagnetizing procedure will
demagnetize the roof and mounting screws in the
overhead console. It is important that you follow the
instructions below exactly. The mounting screws and
the mounting brackets around the compass area are
steel, and therefore aid in the demagnetizing of the
roof panel.
(1) Be sure the ignition switch is in the OFF posi-
tion before you begin the demagnetize procedure.
(2) Plug the demagnetizing tool into a standard
110/115 volt AC outlet, keeping the demagnetizing
tool at least 12 inches away from the compass area
when plugging it in.
(3) Slowly approach and contact the console
mounting screw with the plastic coated tip of the tool
for at least two seconds.
(4) With the demagnetizing tool still energized,
slowly back it away from the screw until the tip is at
least 12 inches from the screw head.
(5) Repeat the last step with all the console
mounting screws.
(6) After you have pulled at least 12 inches from
the last screw, remove the demagnetizing tool from
inside vehicle and disconnect it from the electrical
outlet.
(7) Place an 8 1/2 X 11 inch piece of paper length-
wise on the roof of vehicle directly above compass.
The purpose of the paper is to protect the roof panel
from scratches and define the area to be demagne-
tized.
(8) Plug in the demagnetizing tool, keeping it at
least two feet away from the compass unit.
(9) Slowly approach the center of the roof panel at
the windshield with the demagnetizing tool plugged
in.
(10) Contact the roof panel with the tip of the tool.
Using slow sweeping motions of 1/2 inch between
sweeps. Move the tool approximately four inches
either side of the center line and at least 11 inches
back from the windshield.
(11) With the demagnetizing tool still energized,
slowly back away from the roof panel until the tip is
at least two feet from the roof before unplugging the
tool.
(12) Recalibrate compass, refer to the compass cal-
ibration procedure in this section.
