The cooling system is designed around the coolant.
The coolant must accept heat from engine metal, in
the cylinder head area near the exhaust valves and
engine block. Then coolant carries the heat to theradiator where the tube/fin radiator can transfer the
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 equiva-
lent ethylene glycol base coolant with hybrid 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 solu-
tion.
The green coolantMUST NOT BE MIXEDwith
the orange or magenta coolants. When replacing cool-
ant the complete system flush must be performed
before using the replacement coolant.
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.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - COOLANT
CONCENTRATION TESTING
Coolant concentration should be checked when any
additional coolant was added to system or after a
coolant drain, flush and refill. The coolant mixture
offers optimum engine cooling and protection against
corrosion when mixed to a freeze point of -37ÉC
(-34ÉF) to -46ÉC (-50ÉF). The use of a hydrometer or a
refractometer can be used to test coolant concentra-
tion.
A hydrometer will test the amount of glycol in a
mixture by measuring the specific gravity of the mix-
ture. The higher the concentration of ethylene glycol,
the larger the number of balls that will float, and
higher the freeze protection (up to a maximum of
60% by volume glycol).
A refractometer (Special Tool 8286)(Refer to 7 -
COOLING - SPECIAL TOOLS) will test the amount
of glycol in a coolant mixture by measuring the
amount a beam of light bends as it passes through
the fluid.
Some coolant manufactures use other types of gly-
cols into their coolant formulations. Propylene glycol
is the most common new coolant. However, propylene
glycol based coolants do not provide the same freez-
ing protection and corrosion protection and is not rec-
ommended.
CAUTION: Do not mix types of coolantÐcorrosion
protection will be severely reduced.

POWER SLIDING DOOR
SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
Some vehicles are equipped with a power sliding
door system. Vehicles may be equipped with only a
right side power sliding door or a right and left side
power sliding doors. The components of the power
sliding door system are:
²Door motor assembly
²Latch assembly
²Sliding door control module
²Lower drive unit assembly
²Flex drive assembly
²Wire harness and track
²Lower drive unit track and rack assembly
²Full open switch
²B-pillar switch
²Overhead console switch
²Key fob switches (Fig. 1)
²Pawl switch
²Ratchet switch
²Child lockout and handle switchesEach power sliding door has its own door control
module, 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 sliding 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 sliding 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 sliding 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
sliding door latch assembly. The B-pillar switch is an
open and close command switch located on the inte-
rior B-pillar trim. The overhead console switch, is an
open and close command switch located in the vehi-
cle's overhead console.
Software technology has enabled the power sliding
door control module to detect resistance to door
8N - 40 POWER SLIDING DOOR SYSTEMRS

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 Integrated Power Module (IPM) assembly. The
child lockout switch prevents 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 Programmable Communication Interface
(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 diag-
nose these trouble codes.
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). Refer to the
appropriate wiring information for complete circuit
schematic or connector pin-out information.WARNING: BE CERTAIN TO READ ALL WARNINGS
AND CAUTIONS IN POWER SLIDING DOOR OPER-
ATION BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY SERVICE OF
THE 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 Programmable Communication Interface (PCI)
Data Bus circuit 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 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 move-
ment and reverse door travel to the full open or
closed position. The ability for the power sliding door
module to detect resistance to door travel is accom-
plished by hall effect sensors detecting 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 complete cycle of the door, using any one of the
command switches or with the DRB IIIt, or equiva-
lent scan tool. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER
DOORS - STANDARD PROCEDURE - LEARN
CYCLE) 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. The power sliding door system
inhibitors are:
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 transmission must be inpark or neutral
in order for the power sliding door system to start a
cycle.
²The child lockout switch must be in the
ªUNLOCKEDº position in order for the power sliding
door systems B-pillar switches to function.

POWER SLIDING DOOR ADJUSTMENT
In order for the power sliding door system to func-
tion properly the door must move freely and
smoothly. The power sliding door system can accom-
modate for some minor changes in the effort required
to move the door. However, in extreme conditions the
door may need to be mechanically adjusted for proper
fit. (Refer to 23 - BODY/DOORS - SLIDING/SLID-
ING DOOR - ADJUSTMENTS).
If a problem exists with the power sliding door and
it is suspected to be extreme effort, check for proper
door alignment and adjustment first, then check the
door tracks and drive unit for free manual operation.
(Refer to 23 - BODY/DOORS - SLIDING/SLIDING
DOOR - ADJUSTMENTS) for detailed instructions.
LATCH
DESCRIPTION
One power latch is used for each power sliding door.
The latch is located on the trailing edge of the sliding
door assembly (Fig. 3). This power latch assembly is com-
prised of many different components which have the abil-
ity to perform the power cinch, release, lock, unlock and
safety related operations. These components are the door
latch, lock/unlock actuator, cinch/release actuator and
child lockout, pawl, ratchet and handle switches. The
pawl and ratchet switches are used to indicate the pri-
mary and secondary latched positions. The cinch latch
also provides a connection point for the interior handle,exterior handle and hold open latch cables. If any of the
components of the latch assembly are inoperative the
complete power latch assembly must be replaced.
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 actua-
tor 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 power sliding
door has reached its secondary latch position (deter-
mined by pawl and ratchet switches). During a power
open cycle, the power release actuator will stop once the
sliding door has moved from the primary latch position.
The power latch uses inputs from the lock/unlock
actuator, power sliding door control module and child
lockout, pawl, ratchet and handle switches to provide
safe power cinch and release operations. (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/POWER DOORS - OPERATION) for
additional information.
REMOVAL
(1)Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
(2) Remove the appropriate side door trim panel,
(Refer to 23 - BODY/DOORS - SLIDING/TRIM
PANEL - REMOVAL).
(3) Remove the weather shield if necessary.

(6) Install the door trim panel on the sliding door,
(Refer to 23 - BODY/DOORS - SLIDING/TRIM
PANEL - INSTALLATION) for the procedure.
(7) Connect the battery negative cable.
FULL OPEN SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The full open switch is located in the hold open
latch (Fig. 10) under the sliding door lower hinge.
When the power sliding door control module receives
a ground signal input from the full open switch, and
as long as the cinching latch actuator is not in power
mode or the handle switch is open, the signal indi-
cates that the door is at the full open position.The full open switch is incorporated into the hold
open latch. If the full open switch is inoperative, the
entire hold open latch assembly must be replaced.
OPERATION
The full open switch is triggered by a pawl lever in
the hold open latch. When the full open switch is
closed (circuit to ground) the ratchet has engaged on
the hold open striker and the pawl lever has engaged
on the ratchet, locking the latch from opening and
holding the door in the full open position.
B-PILLAR SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The B-pillar switches are located on the interior of
the vehicle, on the B-pillar trim panels. These
switches serve as an open and close command switch
for the appropriate power sliding door.
OPERATION
When the B-pillar switch is depressed a signal is
sent to the Body Control Module (BCM), this signal
is then sent to the power sliding door control module,
telling it to start a power open or close cycle. The
child lockout feature must be disabled and the slid-
ing door must be unlocked in order for the B-pillar
switch to function.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Using a trim stick (special tool # C-4755) or
equivalent, gently pry the leading upper edge of the
B-pillar switch away from the B-pillar trim.
(3) Once the upper edge is free from B-pillar trim,
rock the switch out of the switch opening.
(4) Disconnect the B-pillar switch electrical con-
nector. First, slide the connector lock away from the
switch then, depress connector retaining tab while
pulling straight apart.
(5) Remove the B-pillar switch from the vehicle.

DESCRIPTION
This vehicle is equipped with a Frontal Impact Air-
bag System, which utilizes the driver/passenger air-
bags, two front impact sensors, and seat belt
tensioners located in the front seat belt buckles. This
system is designed to protect occupants in the event
of a front impact collision. These airbags are all ser-
viceable parts. The tensioners are integral to the
front seat belt buckles. If these pyrotechnics are
deployed or defective, they must be replaced.
Vehicles equipped with the Side Impact Airbag
System utilize a curtain airbag, three side impact
sensors, and the Occupant Restraint Controller
(ORC) to determine if the airbag should be deployed.
Following a side impact event where the side airbag
was deployed, the headliner as well as the curtain
airbag must be replaced.
The occupant restraints include both active and
passive types. Active restraints are those which
require the vehicle occupants to take some action to
employ, such as fastening a seat belt; while passive
restraints require no action by the vehicle occupants
to be employed.
ACTIVE RESTRAINTS
The active restraints include:
²Front Seat Belts- Both front seating positions
are equipped with three-point seat belt systems
employing a lower B-pillar mounted inertia latch-
type retractor, height-adjustable upper B-pillar
mounted turning loops, a fixed lower seat belt anchor
secured to the lower B-pillar, and a traveling end-re-
lease buckle secured to the inboard side of the seat
cushion frame. The driver side front seat belt buckle
includes an integral Hall-effect seat belt switch that
detects whether the driver side front seat belt has
been fastened.²Rear Seat Belts- Both outboard rear second
and third seating positions are equipped with three-
point seat belt systems. The outboard seating posi-
tion belts employ a lower C or D-pillar mounted
inertia latch-type retractor, a fixed position upper C
or D-pillar mounted turning loop, and a fixed lower
seat belt anchor secured to the inboard side of the
seat cushion frame.
²Child Restraint Anchors- Also equipped in
this vehicle are two, fixed-position, child seat upper
tether anchors located on the lower seat cushion, in
the rear of the lower seat cushion. There is one
anchor integral to the back of the third row seat back
panel, one on each seat back panel. Two lower second
row anchors are also provided for each rear outboard
seating position. The lower anchors are integral to
the seat cushion frame and are accessed from the
front of the second row seat where the seat back
meets the seat cushion.
PASSIVE RESTRAINTS
The passive restraints available for this model
include the following:
²Dual Front Airbags- Multistage driver. front
passenger, and driver knee blocker airbags are avail-
able for this model. This airbag system is a passive,
inflatable, Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) and
vehicles with this equipment can be readily identified
by the ªSRS - AIRBAGº logo molded into the driver
airbag trim cover in the center of the steering wheel
and also into the passenger airbag door on the
instrument panel above the glove box. Vehicles with
the airbag system can also be identified by the airbag
indicator, which will illuminate in the instrument
cluster for about seven seconds as a bulb test each
time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position.
A pyrotechnic-type seat belt tensioner is integral to
the driver and passenger front seat belt buckle of all
models equipped with dual front airbags.

bags, three left side and three right side. The first
row side impact sensor is located in the B-pillar, just
above the front seat belt retractor. The second row
side impact sensor is located in the sliding side door
track opening, just in front of the C-pillar. The third
row side impact sensor is located behind the quarter
trim panel, above the rear tire wheel well, between
the C and D-pillars.
The ORC, the OCM, and the cluster each contain a
microprocessor and programming that allow them to
communicate with each other using the Programma-
ble Communications Interface (PCI) data bus net-
work. This method of communication is used by the
ORC for control of the airbag indicators.OPERATION
ACTIVE RESTRAINTS
The primary passenger restraints in this or any
other vehicle are the seat belts and child restraint
anchors. Seat belts and child restraint anchors are
referred to as an active restraint because the vehicle
occupants are required to physically fasten and prop-
erly adjust these restraints in order to benefit from
them. See the owner's manual in the vehicle glove
box for more information on the features, use and
operation of all of the active restraints.
PASSIVE RESTRAINTS
The passive restraints are referred to as a supple-
mental restraint system because they were designed
and are intended to enhance the protection for the
occupants of the vehicleONLYwhen used in con-
junction with the seat belts. They are referred to as
passive restraints because the vehicle occupants are
not required to do anything to make them operate;
however, the vehicle occupants must be wearing their
seat belts in order to obtain the maximum safety
benefit from the supplemental restraint system.
The supplemental restraint system electrical cir-
cuits are continuously monitored and controlled by a
microprocessor and software contained within the
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC). An airbag indi-
cator in the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster
(EMIC) illuminates for about seven seconds as a bulb
test each time the ignition switch is turned to the
ON or START positions. Following the bulb test, the
airbag indicator is turned ON or OFF by the ORC to
indicate the status of the supplemental restraint sys-
tem. If the airbag indicator comes ON at any time
other than during the bulb test, it indicates that
there is a problem in the supplemental restraint sys-
tem electrical circuits. Such a problem may cause air-
bags not to deploy when required, or to deploy when
not required.
Deployment of the supplemental restraints
depends upon the angle and severity of an impact.
Deployment is not based upon vehicle speed; rather,
deployment is based upon the rate of deceleration as
measured by the forces of gravity (G force) upon the
impact sensors. When an impact is severe enough,
the microprocessor in the ORC signals the inflator of
the appropriate airbag units to deploy their airbag
cushions. The front seat belt tensioners are provided
with a deployment signal by the ORC in conjunction
with the front airbags. During a frontal vehicle
impact, the knee blockers work in concert with prop-
erly fastened and adjusted seat belts to restrain both
the driver and the front seat passenger in the proper
position for an airbag deployment. The knee blockers
also absorb and distribute the crash energy from the
