display CHRYSLER VOYAGER 2001 User Guide

On vehicles equipped with AutoStick, the display
includes an O/D OFF indicator that is illuminated
when the driver presses the Overdrive Off button
on the transaxle shifter.
3.11.1 INSTRUMENT CLUSTER SELF TEST
1. Depress and hold the Odometer Reset button.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the RUN/START
position.
3. Release the Odometer reset button.
The Instrument Cluster will illuminate all indi-
cators and step the gauges through several calibra-
tion points. Also, the odometer will display any
stored codes that may have set.
3.11.2 MESSAGE CENTER
The Message Center is located above the brow of
the Instrument Cluster. It houses the following
warning indicators: Check Engine/Service Engine
Soon, high beam, left and right turn signals, Secu-
rity Alarm Set, and low oil pressure. On base
models equipped with the three-speed transaxle,
these indicators appear in the face of the cluster.
The Security Alarm set indicator is a red circle.
Activation of Instrument Cluster indicators is
coordinated with indicators in the message center
and EVIC to avoid redundancy. A revised safety
standard now requires that the seat belt warning
lamp in the Instrument Cluster remain lit if the
driver seat belt is not buckled. A headlamp out ISO
indicator has been added to the Instrument Cluster
to alert the driver when a headlamp is not function-
ing.
3.12 INTERIOR LIGHTING
3.12.1 COURTESY LAMP CONTROL
The body controller has direct control over all of
the vehicle's courtesy lamps. The body computer
will illuminate the courtesy lamps under any of the
following conditions:
1. Any door ajar and courtesy lamp switch on the
headlamp switch is not in the dome off position.
2. The courtesy lamp switch on the headlamp
switch is in the dome on position.
3. A Remote Keyless Entry unlock message is re-
ceived.
4. Driver door unlocked with key (with VTSS only).
3.12.2 ILLUMINATED ENTRY
Illuminated entry will be initiated when the cus-
tomer enters the vehicle by unlocking the doors
with the key fob, or with the key if the vehicle is
equipped with vehicle theft alarm. Upon exiting thevehicle, if the lock button is pressed with a door
open, illuminated entry will cancel when the door
closes. If the doors are closed and the ignition
switch is turned on, the illuminated entry also
cancels. The illuminated entry feature will not
operate if the courtesy lamp switch is in the dome
off position.
3.12.3 INTERIOR LIGHTING BATTERY
SAVER
If any of the interior lamps are left on after the
ignition is turned off, the BCM will turn them off
after 8 minutes. To return to normal operation, the
courtesy lamps will operate after the dome lamp
switch or door ajar switch changes state. The glove
box and switched reading lamps require that the
ignition be turned to the on/acc position.
3.13 MEMORY SYSTEM
The memory system consists of power driver 's
seat, power mirrors and radio presets. The Memory
Seat/Mirror Module (MSMM) is located under the
driver 's seat. It receives input from the following:
driver 's manual 8-way seat switch, driver 's seat
position sensors, PCI bus circuits, and the power
mirror sensors. The module uses these inputs to
perform the following functions: position the driv-
er 's memory seat, both exterior mirrors (during
recalls), and send/receive the memory system infor-
mation over the PCI bus.
The Memory Set Switch is wired to the Body
Control Module (BCM). When a button (either #1 or
#2) is pressed on the set switch causes the to BCM
send a message to the MSMM which in turn sends
a motion status messages to the BCM. If the BCM
receives no motion from the MSMM it will send a
recall message to the MSMM and radio (once igni-
tion is in run or accessory). The MSMM will in turn
position the drivers seat, both mirrors along with
recalling the radio presets. If the drivers seat or
either exterior mirror is inoperative from its own
respective switches, use the service information
and schematic to diagnose the problem. This man-
ual addresses the memory problems only and it is
assumed there is not a basic component failure.
3.13.1 POWER SEAT
The memory power seat provides the driver with
2 position settings for the driver 's seat. Each power
seat motor is connected to the MSMM with two
motor drive circuits. Each circuit is switched be-
tween battery and ground. By being able to bi-
directionally drive the circuits, the MSMM controls
the movement of the motors based on input from
the power seat switch or from the position sensors
when performing a memory recall. Each motor
22
GENERAL INFORMATION

contains a potentiometer to monitor the seat posi-
tion. To monitor the position of the motor, the
MSMM sends out a 5-volt reference on the sensor
supply circuit. The sensor is grounded back to the
module on a common ground circuit. Based on the
position of the sensor, the MSMM monitors the
voltage change through the sensor on a separate
signal circuit.
The MSMM stores the input value of each of the
four seat potentiometers in memory when the sys-
tem requests a set. The driver can initiate a mem-
ory recall, using either the door mounted memory
switch or the RKE transmitter (if the remote linked
to memory feature is enabled via the EVIC). When
initiated, the MSMM adjusts the four seat sensors
(by using the motors) to match the memorized seat
position data.
For safety, the memory seat recall is disabled by
the MSMM when the vehicle is out of park position
or if the speed is not zero. Any obstruction to seat
movement over a 2-second delay will cause the seat
to stop moving in which case a stalled motor would
be detected by the MSMM and the corresponding
seat output would be deactivated. However, if the
object obstructing the seat is removed, the seat will
function normally again.
3.13.2 MEMORY MIRRORS
Each outside mirror contains vertical and hori-
zontal bi-directional drive positioning motors and
position sensors. The MSMM provides a 5-volt
reference on the signal circuit to each position
sensor. The sensors share a common ground circuit.
The MSMM monitors the position of the mirror
motors by measuring the voltage on each signal
circuit. When a memory position is set, the MSMM
monitors and stores the position of the outside
mirrors. The MSMM adjusts the mirrors to the
appropriate positions when a memory recall mes-
sage is received from the RKE or is requested from
the memory set switch.
The power mirror switch during non-memory
operation operates both mirrors independently of
the MSMM.
3.14 OVERHEAD CONSOLE
3.14.1 COMPASS/MINI-TRIP COMPUTER
(CMTC)
The compass/mini-trip computer is located in the
overhead console. It displays to the driver the
direction the vehicle is traveling and the current
outside temperature, as well as the following trav-
eler navigational information: average fuel econ-
omy (AVG ECO), distance to empty (DTE), instan-
taneous fuel economy (ECO), elapsed time (ET),and trip odometer (ODO). The information needed
for the CMTC functions is received over the PCI bus
from other modules.
3.14.2 ELECTRONIC VEHICLE
INFORMATION CENTER (EVIC)
The Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC) includes all the same functions and is lo-
cated in the same area as the Compass/Mini-Trip
Computer, but it adds a number of warning mes-
sages. Also, the EVIC messages are spelled out on
the screen, for example, DISTANCE TO EMPTY,
where the Mini-Trip Computer displays only shows
DTE.
If the compass/mini-trip computer or EVIC has
been replaced, it may be necessary to reset the
calibration.
3.14.3 SETTING THE COMPASS
The compass/mini-trip computer and EVIC are
self-calibrated and requires no adjustment. The
word CAL will be displayed to indicate that the
compass is in the fast calibrating mode. CAL will
turn off after the vehicle has gone in three complete
circles without stopping, in an area free of magnetic
disturbance.
If the module displays the temperature while the
compass is blank or shows a false reading, the
vehicle must be demagnetized. See the service man-
ual for the proper procedure.
If the compass still goes blank after the vehicle is
demagnetized, the compass/mini-trip/EVIC module
must be replaced.
3.14.4 SETTING THE VARIANCE
Variance is the difference between magnetic
north and geographic north. To determine the vari-
ance for the area you are in, refer to the following
zone map provided. The number shown for your
area is the variance number for your area.
1. Set the compass/mini-trip computer (CMTC) to
compass/temperature mode.
2. Press and hold down the RESET button for 5
seconds.NOTE:If the button is held for 10
23
GENERAL INFORMATION

seconds instead of 5, the CMTC will set the
variance to 8 and enter the fast calibration
mode.
3. The VAR light will come on and the last variance
setting will be displayed.
4. Press the STEP button to set the zone number.
5. Press the US/M button and resume normal op-
eration.
NOTE: Do not attach any magnetic device
such as a magnetic CB antenna to the
vehicle. This can cause the compass to give
false readings.
3.15 POWER DOOR LOCK SYSTEM
When the BCM receives input for a lock request
from a door lock switch, RKE or cylinder lock switch
(only with VTSS), it will turn the lock driver on for
a specified time of 375 msec. If the request is there
beyond 375 msec, the BCM considers the door lock
signal stuck. Once a door lock or unlock signal is
stuck for longer than 10 seconds, the BCM will set
a trouble code and the signal input is ignored until
the stuck condition disappears. The door lock
switches provide a variable amount of resistance
thereby dropping the voltage of the multiplexed
(MUX) circuit and the BCM will respond to that
command.
3.15.1 SLIDING DOOR MEMORY LOCK
When the BCM receives an input for a lock
request and a sliding door is open, the BCM will
turn on the lock driver as described above, and will
turn it on again when all sliding doors are closed.
NOTE: If the BCM receives an unlock input before
a sliding door is closed, this will cancel the memory
lock.
3.15.2 DOOR LOCK INHIBIT
When the key is in the ignition and in any
position and either front door is open, the door lock
switches LOCK functions are disabled. The UN-
LOCK functions are still functional. This protects
against locking the vehicle with the keys still in the
ignition. The RKE key fob will still lock the doors as
usual. This allows the driver to lock the vehicle with
the engine running for warm up.
3.15.3 AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS
This feature can be enabled or disabled by using
either the DRBIIItor the customer programming
method. When enabled all the doors will lock when
the vehicle reaches a speed of 18 MPH (29 KMH)
and all the doors are closed. If a door is opened and
the vehicle slows to below 18 MPH (29 KMH), thedoor locks will operate again once all doors are
closed and the speed is above 15 MPH (24 KMH).
3.15.4 REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY (RKE)
The body control module interfaces with the RKE
module via a one-way serial bus interface. The RKE
module is not on the PCI bus. The RKE module
sends a 0-5 volt pulse width signal to the BCM
depending on which button on the transmitter was
pressed. The BCM controls the door lock/unlock
functions and the arming/disarming of the Vehicle
Theft Security System (if equipped) and the activa-
tion of illuminated entry. The BCM will also send
the appropriate messages to the Power Sliding
Doors and Power Liftgate modules. The Intelligent
Power Module (IPM) activates the park lamps,
headlamps, and horn for horn chirp when sent the
appropriate message from the BCM as received
from the RKE transmitter. When a one-button
press is made for unlock, both driver side doors will
unlock and the front and rear turn signal will flash.
When a second press is initiated (within 5 seconds
of the first) both passenger doors will unlock and all
four turn signals will flash.
The RKE module is capable of retaining up to 4
individual access codes (4 transmitters). If the
PRNDL is in any position except park, the BCM will
ground the interface thereby disabling the RKE.
The 2 button transmitter will have 2-CR2016
batteries in series. The 5 button transmitter will
have 1-CR2016 battery. The minimum battery life
should be approximately 4.7 years based on 20
transmissions a day at 84ÉF (25ÉC). Using the
DRBIIItand selecting RKE FOB Test can test the
transmitter.
The RKE module can be programmed via the
DRBIIItor the customer programming method.
The BCM will only allow programming mode to be
entered when the ignition is in the on position, the
PRNDL is in park position, and the VTSS (if
equipped) is in the disarmed mode.
3.16 POWER FOLDING MIRRORS
The power folding mirrors are powered to two
positions: folded and unfolded. The driver may
choose fold or unfold with a switch that is located on
the right side of the steering column. The folding
mirror switch grounds a sense wire that comes from
the Body Control Module when it is placed in the
fold position. The mirrors will move to the position
designated by the switch whether the ignition
switch is the On or Off position and both front doors
are closed. When the Power Folding Mirror switch
is left in the fold position during a vehicle exit the
mirrors will automatically unfold then refold after
both front doors are closed. This is to prevent mirror
contact with either front door when opened. When

defined as the amount of time from the start of a
wipe to the beginning of the next wipe. The rear
wiper system delay time is based on the following:
7.75 - (MPH x .05) = Seconds delay
Examples:
At zero (0) MPH the delay is 7.75 seconds.
At 100 MPH the delay is 2.75 seconds.
3.21.8 WIPE AFTER WASH
When the driver presses the wash button for over
1.5 seconds and releases it, the wiper will continue
to run for 2 additional wipe cycles.
3.22 USING THE DRBIIIT
Refer to the DRBIIItuser guide for instructions
and assistance with reading trouble codes, erasing
trouble codes, and other DRBIIItfunctions.
3.22.1 DRBIIITERROR MESSAGES
Under normal operation, the DRBIIItwill dis-
play one of only two error messages: user-requested
WARM Boot or User-Requested COLD Boot. If the
DRBIIItshould display any other error message,
record the entire display and call the STAR Center.

3.22.2 DRBIIITDOES NOT POWER UP
(BLANK SCREEN)
If the LED's do not light or no sound is emitted at
start up, check for loose cable connections or a bad
cable. Check the vehicle battery voltage (data link
connector cavity 16). A minimum of 11 volts is
required to adequately power the DRBIIIt. Check
for proper grounds at DLC cavities 4 and 5.
If all connections are proper between the
DRBIIItand the vehicle or other devices, and the
vehicle battery is fully charged, an inoperative
DRBIIItmay be the result or a faulty cable or
vehicle wiring.
3.22.3 DISPLAY IS NOT VISIBLE
Low temperatures will affect the visibility of the
display. Adjust the contrast to compensate for this
condition.
