manual sliding door. When the child lock out switch
is on, the B pillar switches are disabled.
There is only one part number for the power
sliding door module (PSDM). The driver sliding
door harness has an additional ground circuit which
will identify it as the driver side. This eliminates
the need for a left and a right side module.
3.18.2 DIAGNOSTIC FEATURES
The PSDM can be flashed on vehicle via PCI bus
with a DRBIIItdiagnostic tool. The DRBIIItcan
read all inputs, actuate all outputs, read module
information, and read diagnostic trouble codes. As a
reminder, some DTC's can be set during normal
PSD operation.
3.18.3 SYSTEM INHIBITORS
1. Battery voltage too high or too low (above 16V,
below 9.5V)
2. Vehicle in gear
3. Vehicle speed > 0 mph/km/h
4. Child locks enabled inhibit the B pillar switch
operation
5. O/H console lockout will inhibit the B pillar
switches
6. Doors locked will inhibit all interior switches
from opening (Overhead Console, B Pillar). A
locked sliding door can be power closed.
3.19 REAR WINDOW DEFOG/HEATED
MIRROR/FRONT WIPER DE-ICE
The defroster button located on the HVAC control
controls the rear window defogger, heated side view
mirrors and front wiper de-icer grid. In addition the
front wiper de-ice function is turned on when front
defog/defrost mode is selected.
When the defroster button is pushed, the HVAC
control sends a bus message over the PCI bus to the
Front Control Module (FCM) which controls the
Rear Window Defogger relay. The defroster LED
will illuminate when the defroster function is on.
The defroster will function for 10 minutes or can be
cycled off sooner by pressing the defroster button
again. The front wiper de-icer grid receives its 12
volts from the accessory relay through fuse 11 and
the HVAC control module supplies the grid ground.
3.20 VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY SYSTEM
3.20.1 BASE ALARM SYSTEM
The Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS) is part
of the Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM
monitors the vehicle doors, liftgate, hood, and theignition for unauthorized operation. The alarm ac-
tivates by sounding the horn, flashing the head-
lamps and the VTSS indicator lamp. The VTSS does
not prevent engine operation, this is done with the
Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM). Passive
arming occurs in one of two ways. Upon normal
vehicle exit by removing the ignition key, opening
the driver door, locking the doors with the power
lock, and closing the driver door, or by removing the
ignition key, opening the driver door, closing the
driver door, and locking the doors with the Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter. The VTSS indi-
cator lamp will flash for approximately 15 seconds
during the arming process. If there is no interrup-
tion during the arming process, upon completion
the VTSS indicator lamp will flash at a slower rate.
When the BCM receives an input to trigger the
alarm, the BCM will control the outputs of the
headlamps, horn, and VTSS lamp for approxi-
mately 18 minutes.
Arming (Active and Passive)
Active arming occurs when the RKE transmitter
is used to lock the vehicle doors, whether the doors
are open or closed. The arming process is complete
only after all doors are closed.
Passive arming occurs when the ignition key is
removed, the driver door is opened, and the doors
are locked with the power door lock switch, and the
door is closed.
Disarming (Active and Passive)
Active disarming occurs when the RKE transmit-
ter is used to unlock the vehicle doors. This disarm-
ing will also halt the alarm once it has been acti-
vated.
Passive disarming occurs upon normal vehicle
entry (unlocking driver door with the key). This
disarming will also halt the alarm once it has been
activated.
Tamper Alert
The VTSS tamper alert will sound the horn three
times upon disarming to indicate a tamper condi-
tion has occurred.
Manual Override
The system will not arm if the doors are locked
using the manual lock control or if the locks are
actuated by an inside occupant after the doors are
closed.
Diagnosis
For complaints about the Vehicle Theft Alarm
triggering on its own, use the DRBIIItand read the
Last VTSS Cause status.

heat to the air.
The use of aluminum cylinder blocks, cylinder
heads, and water pumps requires special corrosion
protection. MopartAntifreeze/Coolant, 5 Year/
100,000 Mile Formula (MS-9769), or the equivalent
ethylene glycol base coolant with organic corrosion
inhibitors (called HOAT, for Hybrid Organic Additive
Technology) is recommended. This coolant offers the
best engine cooling without corrosion when mixed
with 50% Ethylene Glycol and 50% distilled water to
obtain a freeze point of -37ÉC (-35ÉF). If it loses color
or becomes contaminated, drain, flush, and replace
with fresh properly mixed coolant solution.CAUTION: MoparTAntifreeze/Coolant, 5 Year/
100,000 Mile Formula (MS-9769) may not be mixed
with any other type of antifreeze. Doing so will
reduce the corrosion protection and may result in
premature water pump seal failure. If non-HOAT
coolant is introduced into the cooling system in an
emergency, it should be replaced with the specified
coolant as soon as possible.

POWER SLIDING DOOR
SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
Some vehicles are equipped with a power opening
and closing sliding door system (Fig. 1). Depending
on how the vehicle is ordered it may be equipped
with only a right side power door or right and left
side power doors. This power sliding door system is a
complex system consisting of many components.
Some of these components are the door motor, latch
assembly, sliding door control module, lower drive
unit, flex drive assembly, wire harness and track,
lower drive unit track and rack assembly, full open
switch, B-pillar switch, overhead console switch, key
fob switches (Fig. 2), pawl switch, ratchet switch and
child lockout and handle switches.
Each power side door has its own door control mod-
ule, located in the center of the door behind the door
trim panel. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/ELEC-TRONIC CONTROL MODULES/DOOR CONTROL
MODULE - DESCRIPTION) The power side door
motor is located in the front portion of the door, on
the inner door panel sheet metal. The latch assembly
is located in the rear of the power side door, near the
body line. The lower drive unit is attached to the
lower door hinge. The flex drive assembly connects
the door motor to the lower drive unit. The wire har-
ness and track and the lower drive unit track are vis-
ible with the door open in the lower door sill area.
The power side door full open switch is located under
the lower drive unit and is part of the hold open
latch assembly. The pawl, ratchet, handle and child
lockout switches are all located on the power side
door latch assembly. The B-pillar switch, as it will be
referred to, is an open and close command switch
located on the vehicles interior body side B-pillar
trim. The overhead console switch, is an open and
close command switch located in the vehicle's over-
head console. More detailed information can be found
on these components later in this section.
RSPOWER SLIDING DOOR SYSTEM8N-19

Safety is of the utmost concern with the power
sliding door system. Software technology has enabled
the power sliding door control module to detect resis-
tance to door travel. This allows the power sliding
door to stop and reverse direction any time an
obstruction is felt or any of the command switches
are operated (while closing only). Battery voltage is
supplied to the power sliding door system through a
40 amp fuse, located in the Intelligent Power Module
(IPM) assembly (Fig. 3). The child lockout switch pre-
vents children from opening or actuating the power
sliding door system when desired. In the unlikely
event that the power sliding door system develops a
fault, the power sliding door can still be operated
manually from the interior or exterior door handle,
just like a standard manual sliding door.
The power sliding door control module communi-
cates on the J1850 PCI Data Bus Circuit. Therefore,
the power sliding door control module can generate
and store its own diagnostic trouble codes (DTC). A
diagnostic scan tool, such as the DRB IIItis used to
read and diagnose these trouble codes. Refer to the
Body Diagnostic Manual for a complete list of diag-
nostic routines.

NOTE: It may be possible to generate Sliding Door
Diagnostic Trouble Codes during normal power
sliding door operation. Refer to the Body Diagnos-
tic Manual for a complete list of diagnostic routines.
For additional information, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRI-
CAL/POWER DOORS - OPERATION) . For a com-
plete power sliding door system wiring schematic,
refer to Wiring Diagrams. For power sliding door sys-
tem operation instructions, refer to the vehicle owner
manual.
WARNING: BE CERTAIN TO READ ALL WARNINGS
AND CAUTIONS IN POWER SLIDING DOOR OPER-
ATION BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY SERVICE OF
POWER SLIDING DOOR SYSTEM OR COMPO-
NENTS.
OPERATION
With the push of a power sliding door open/close
command switch (key fob, overhead console or B-pil-
lar mounted) a signal is sent out to the Body Control
Module (BCM). The BCM then sends a signal out on
the PCI Data Bus circuit (J1850) to the power sliding
door module. The power sliding door module then
signals the power sliding door latch to release the
door to the unlatched and movable position. The
motor then starts an open cycle.
During the door open cycle, if the power sliding
door module detects sufficient resistance to door
travel, such as an obstruction in the door's path, the
power sliding door module will immediately stop door
movement and reverse door travel to the full open orclosed position. The ability for the power sliding door
module to detect resistance to door travel is accom-
plished by hall effect sensors and the door motor
speed.
The power sliding door control module has the abil-
ity to learn. Anytime a door is opened or closed using
the power sliding door system the module learns
from its cycle. If a replacement power sliding door
component is installed or a door adjustment is made,
the module must re-learn the effort required to open
or close the door. A learn cycle can be performed with
a Diagnostic Scan Tool, such as the DRB IIIt, or with
a complete cycle of the door, using any one of the
command switches. Refer to Standard Procedures in
this section for detailed instructions.
The power sliding door system is designed with a
number of system inhibitors. These inhibitors are
necessary for safety and/or feasibility of the power
sliding door system. See the power sliding door sys-
tem inhibitors noted below:
POWER SLIDING DOOR SYSTEM INHIBITORS
²The power sliding door must be in thefullopen
or closed position in order for the power sliding door
system to start a cycle. If the door is not in this posi-
tion (based on the input from the full open, pawl or
ratchet switches) the door control module will not
respond to command switch inputs.
²The vehicles transmission must be inpark or
neutralin order for the power sliding door system to
start a cycle.
²The vehicles child lockout switch must be in the
ªUNLOCKEDº position in order for the power sliding
door systems B-pillar switches to function.
²If multiple obstacles are detected during the
same power open or close cycle the power sliding
door may go into full manual mode.
²If severe Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) are
stored in the power sliding door control module the
power sliding door may go into full manual mode.
²Due to the high pressure created in the passen-
ger compartment with the blower motor on high, the
power sliding door may not complete a power close
cycle unless a window is cracked, allowing the pres-
sure to escape. This situation will only be experi-
enced on some vehicles, or vehicles with brand new
side door weather seals installed. Refer to the Side
Door Adjustment procedure in the Standard Proce-
dures section of this group.
²The vehicles fuel tank filler door must be in the
closed position. Due to the sliding door interference
with the open fuel tank filler door, mechanical link-
age prevents the side door from opening and striking
the fuel door. Refer to the Body section of this man-
ual for detailed information on the fuel door lockout
feature.Fig. 3 POWER SIDE DOOR FUSE LOCATION

LATCH
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with a power side door or doors
utilize a power latch. One power latch is used for
each power door. The latch is located on the trailing
edge of the side door assembly (Fig. 5). This power
latch assembly is comprised of many different compo-
nents which have the ability to perform the power
cinch, release, lock, unlock and safety related opera-
tions. These components are the door latch, lock/un-
lock actuator, cinch/release actuator and child
lockout, pawl, ratchet and handle switches. The
ratchet switch is used to indicate the primary locked
position. The pawl switch is used to indicate the sec-
ondary position. The cinch latch also provides a con-
nection point for the interior handle, exterior handle
and hold open latch cables.
The power latch is a replaceable component. Con-
sult your Mopar parts catalog for specific part num-
bers.
OPERATION
The power latch performs the same operation as a
full manual door latch as well as power cinch,
release, lock and unlock operations. The power latch
mounted actuator cinches the door closed and latches
it in its primary latched position. During a power
close cycle, the power cinch actuator will not operate
until the side door has reached its secondary latchposition (determined by pawl and ratchet switches).
During a power open cycle, the power release actua-
tor will stop once the side door has moved from pri-
mary latch position (determined by ratchet switch).
The power latch uses inputs from the lock/unlock
actuator, power side door control module and child
lockout, pawl, ratchet and handle switches to provide
safe power cinch and release operations. Refer to
Power Side Door Operation for additional informa-
tion.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the negative battery
cable.
(2) Remove the appropriate side door trim panel.
