controls to A/C. Start and operate engine at idle speed.
3) Using an ohmmeter, check for continuity between switch
terminals. Continuity should exist when suction pressure reading is
above 38 psi (2.7 kg/cm
) on Dakota; 43 psi (3.0 kg/cm) on Ram
Pickup. Continuity should not exist when suction pressure reading
drops below 20.5 psi (1.4 kg/cm
) on Dakota; 25 psi (1.8 kg/cm) on
Ram Pickup. If switch is okay, test and repair clutch control circuit
as needed. If switch is not okay, replace faulty clutch cycling
pressure switch.
ELECTRONIC CYCLING CLUTCH SWITCH
Durango
1) Locate electronic cycling clutch switch on thermal
expansion valve in engine compartment. Ensure system pressure is
correct. See A/C SYSTEM PERFORMANCE test. Ensure low pressure cut-out
switch and high pressure cut-out switch are working properly. See
LOW PRESSURE CUT-OUT SWITCH TEST and HIGH PRESSURE CUT-OUT SWITCH
test.
2) Disconnect negative battery cable. Disconnect electronic
cycling clutch switch and high pressure cut-out switch connectors.
Using an ohmmeter, check for continuity in Light Green/White wire
between electronic cycling clutch switch and high pressure cut-out
switch. If continuity exists in Light Green/White wire, go to next
step. If continuity does not exist in Light Green/White wire, repair
wire as necessary.
3) Disconnect low pressure cut-out switch connector. Using an
ohmmeter, check for continuity in Dark Blue/Yellow wire between
electronic cycling clutch switch and low pressure cut-out switch. If
continuity exists in Dark Blue/Yellow wire, go to next step. If
continuity does not exist in Dark Blue/Yellow wire, repair wire as
necessary.
4) Connect low pressure cut-out switch and high pressure cut-
out switch connectors. Connect negative battery cable. Turn ignition
on. Using voltmeter, check for battery voltage at electronic cycling
clutch switch connector terminal No. 2 (White wire). If battery
voltage exists, go to step 6).
5) If battery voltage does not exist, check fuse No. 7 (15-
amp) at junction block located at bottom left of instrument panel. If
fuse is okay, check for short or open in White wire between electronic
cycling clutch switch connector and fuse No. 7 (15-amp) at junction
block.
6) Connect electronic cycling clutch switch connector. Ensure
ambient temperature is between 68-90
F (20-30C). Start engine and
turn A/C on. If compressor clutch cycles 2-3 times per minute, replace
faulty electronic cycling clutch switch. If compressor clutch does not
cycle, check PCM for proper operation. See appropriate G - TESTS
W/CODES article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE section.
HIGH PRESSURE CUT-OUT SWITCH
1) Locate high pressure cut-out switch on compressor
discharge line, near compressor. Ensure system pressure is correct.
See A/C SYSTEM PERFORMANCE test. Disconnect negative battery cable.
Disconnect high pressure cut-off switch connector.
2) Using an ohmmeter, check for continuity between switch
terminals. If continuity exists, test and repair clutch control
circuit as needed. If continuity does not exist, replace faulty
switch.
LOW PRESSURE CUT-OUT SWITCH TEST
Durango

1) Locate low pressure cut-out switch located on suction
line, near firewall. Ensure system pressure is correct. See
A/C SYSTEM PERFORMANCE test. Disconnect negative battery cable.
Disconnect low pressure cut-out switch connector.
2) Place a jumper wire across terminals of low pressure cut-
out switch harness connector. Connect negative battery cable. Connect
manifold gauge set. Set A/C-heater controls to A/C. Start and operate
engine at idle speed.
3) Using an ohmmeter, check for continuity between switch
terminals. Continuity should exist when suction pressure reading is
between 13-27 psi (.9-1.9 kg/cm
). Continuity should not exist when
suction pressure reading is 10 psi (.7 kg/cm) or lower. If switch is
okay, repair open or short in Brown wire between low pressure cut-out
switch and PCM. If switch is not okay, replace faulty low pressure
cut-out switch.

IGNITION TIMING
On all models, ignition timing is controlled by Powertrain
Control Module (PCM). Ignition timing is nonadjustable. DO NOT attempt\
to adjust ignition timing by rotating distributor.
NOTE: On Dakota 3.9L, 5.2L and 5.9L, Durango, Ram Pickup, Ram Van
and Ram Wagon, if distributor is rotated, fuel system
synchronization will be changed. If distributor is removed or
rotated, check fuel system synchronization. See procedures
under FUEL SYSTEM SYNCHRONIZATION under FUEL SYSTEM.

NOTE: Fuel system synchronization is controlled by position of the
distributor. Rotating distributor WILL NOT change ignition
timing, but will change fuel system synchronization. Fuel

1) Connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC). DLC is
located below driver's side of instrument panel, near steering column.
See Fig. 1 , 2 or 3.
2) Using scan tool manufacturer's instructions, access SET
SYNC display on scan tool. Following scan tool displays, start engine.
Warm engine to normal operating temperature. Vehicle must be in closed
loop. With engine idling, if scan tool displays IN RANGE along with

3) If scan tool display is correct, shut engine off. Remove
scan tool. If scan tool does not display IN RANGE along with 0
, go to
next step.
4) If scan tool displays a plus (+) or minus (-) sign next\
to
the degree number, and/or the degree number displayed is not zero,
loosen but DO NOT remove distributor hold-down bolt.
5) Rotate distributor until scan tool displays IN RANGE.
Continue to rotate distributor until a reading as close as possible to

IDLE SPEED & MIXTURE
Idle speed and mixture are controlled by Powertrain Control
Module (PCM). No adjustment is required. PCM controls Idle Air Control\
(IAC) motor for proper idle speed. See SELF-DIAGNOSTICS - JEEP, TRUCKS\
& RWD VANS article for diagnosis of incorrect idle speed or IAC motor
operation.
THROTTLE BODY MINIMUM AIRFLOW
NOTE: Throttle body minimum airflow procedure checks throttle body
calibration for correct idle speed. Procedure may be used for
idle speed problems caused by the throttle body. Throttle
body minimum airflow procedure should be performed after all
other diagnostic procedures have failed to produce results
that indicate a throttle body related problem. Ensure IAC
motor is operating correctly before performing this
procedure.
