CAUTION: Before moving vehicle, pump the brake
pedal several times to insure the vehicle has a firm
brake pedal to adequately stop vehicle.
(19) Road test vehicle to ensure proper operation
of the brake system.MASTER CYLINDER
CAUTION: Different types of master cylinders are
used on this vehicle. Vehicles equipped with trac-
tion control use a center port master cylinder. Vehi-
cles not equipped with traction control use a
compensating port master cylinder. Be sure to ver-
ify if the vehicle is equipped with traction control
and that the correct replacement master cylinder is
used. Also, vehicles that are equipped with four
wheel disc brakes have a master with a different
size piston bore than the other master cylinders. If
a new master cylinder is being installed, be sure
the correct master cylinder is used for the type of
brake system the vehicle is equipped with.
REMOVE
CAUTION: Vacuum in the power brake booster
must be pumped down (removed) before removing
master cylinder from power brake booster. This is
necessary to prevent the power brake booster from
sucking in any contamination as the master cylin-
der is removed. This can be done simply by pump-
ing the brake pedal, with the vehicle's engine not
running, until a firm feeling brake pedal is achieved.
(1) With engine not running, pump the brake
pedal until a firm pedal is achieved (4-5 strokes).
CAUTION: Before removing the master cylinder
filler tube from the brake fluid reservoir, the filler
tube, brake fluid reservoir and master cylinder must
be thoroughly cleaned. This must be done to pre-
vent dirt particles from falling into the brake fluid
reservoir and entering the brakes hydraulic system.
(2) Thoroughly clean all surfaces of the filler neck,
brake fluid reservoir, and master cylinder. Use only a
solvent such as Mopar Brake Parts Cleaner or an
equivalent.

CLEANING AND INSPECTION
HEADLAMP CLEANING
This vehicle is equipped with plastic headlights
that are lighter and less susceptible to stone break-
age than glass headlights.
This plastic is not as scratch resistant as glass and
therefore a different lens cleaning procedures must
be followed.
To minimize the possibility of scratching the lenses
and reducing light output, avoid wiping with a dry
cloth. To remove road dirt, wash with a mild soap
solution followed by rinsing with water.
Do not use abrasive cleaning components, solvents,
steel wool or other aggressive material to clean the
lenses.

SEAT BELT CHIME
The seat belt chime will sound for 4 to 8 seconds,
when the ignition is turned on and the driver's seat
belt is not buckled (seat belt switch is closed to
ground). This is a reminder to the driver to buckle
the seat belt. The seat belt lamp is controlled by the
mechanical instrument cluster. The cluster will also
illuminate the seat belt warning lamp for 6 seconds.
Buckling the driver's seat belt before the time out
has expired will cause the chime to stop immediately.
Chime rate: 38 to 62 chimes per minute.
To test the seat belt warning system, the ignition
switch must be in the OFF position for 1 minute
before starting the test. Turn the ignition switch to
the on position with the driver's seat belt not buck-
led. The seat belt warning lamp should light and the
chime should sound 4 to 8 seconds.
SEAT BELT LAMP
The seat belt lamp in the instrument cluster sig-
nals the vehicle passengers to fasten their seat belts.
The seat belt lamp is illuminated directly by the
instrument cluster for 6 seconds after the instrument
cluster receives the message from the Body Control
Module. The seat belt lamp is therefore illuminated
for 6 seconds whenever the ignition switch is moved
to run/start position.
(1) While ignition is off, the seat belt lamp will not
be illuminated.
(2) The ignition power feed status will be updated
every 250 milliseconds or on change.
(3) This lamp will be checked by the instrument
cluster for 6 seconds with every run/start cycle of the
ignition switch.
TURN SIGNAL ON CHIME
The turn signal on chime will warn the driver that
the turn signals have been left on. When the Body
Control Module receives a turn signal input for 1.6
km (1.0 miles), vehicle speed is greater than 24 km/h
(15 mph), the chime will sound continuously until the
turn signal is turned OFF. If vehicle speed drops
below 24 km/h (15 mph) prior to the warning being
activated, the accumulated distance traveled will be
reset. The turn signal chime is not activated whenthe emergency flashers are turned on. This feature
can also be disabled in EEPROM. Chime rate: 38 to
62 chimes per minute.
For the turn signal warning system to operate:
²Must have input from either the right or left
turn signal lamps. Creates a voltage change between
0 and battery voltage.
²The vehicle speed sensor sends a message to the
Powertrain Control Module that vehicle has exceeded
24 km/h (15 mph) for 1.6 km (1.0 miles).
²When the above two conditions are met, the
chime will sound. The chime will stop when no fur-
ther voltage change is detected.
²If hazard warning signals are pulsing, no chime
will sound.
²If speed drops below 24 km/h (15 mph) before
the warning is issued, the warning will not be issued
and the distance counter will be reset.
²If turn signal lamps are not working properly,
the chime will not sound.
²When using the scan tool, refer to the proper
Body Diagnostic Manual for the procedure.
WARNING LAMP ANNOUNCEMENT CHIME
The warning lamp announcement chime will warn
the driver to scan the instrument cluster to observe
which warning lamp is illuminated. Whenever the
volts, low fuel, low washer fluid, coolant level (gas/
diesel), low coolant level, engine temperature high
(diesel only), door ajar or gate ajar lamps are first
illuminated, the chime will sound one tone. The door/
liftgate ajar warning lamp announcement chime
sounds only if the vehicle speed is above 2 m.p.h.
Two seconds after ignition switch is turned ON or
until the seat belt warning chime ends, all warning
announcement chimes will be consolidated into one
warning announcement. This will occur 2 seconds
after the seat belt warning chime ends. If a warning
announcement should occur while another warning
chime in progress (turn signal, low oil pressure or
high speed warnings), no additional chimes will
sound after the chime in progress ends. All associ-
ated lamps will be illuminated, and the active chime
will be the warning announcement.
