SPEED CONTROL SERVO (Continued)

²If the actual speed is not within 20 mph of the
set speedThe previous disengagement conditions are
programmed for added safety.
Once the speed control has been disengaged,
depressing the ACCEL switch restores the vehicle to
the target speed that was stored in the ECM's RAM.
NOTE: Depressing the OFF switch will erase the set
speed stored in the ECM's RAM.
If, while the speed control is engaged, the driver
wishes to increase vehicle speed, the ECM is pro-
grammed for an acceleration feature. With the
ACCEL switch held closed, the vehicle accelerates
slowly to the desired speed. The new target speed is
stored in the ECM's RAM when the ACCEL switch is
released. The ECM also has a9tap-up9feature in
which vehicle speed increases at a rate of approxi-
mately 2 mph for each momentary switch activation
of the ACCEL switch.
The ECM also provides a means to decelerate with-
out disengaging speed control. To decelerate from an
existing recorded target speed, depress and hold the
COAST switch until the desired speed is reached.
Then release the switch. The ON, OFF switch oper-
ates two components: the ECM's ON, OFF input, and
the battery voltage to the brake switch, which powers
the speed control servo.
REMOVAL
WARNING: BEFORE BEGINNING ANY AIRBAG SYS-
TEM COMPONENT REMOVAL OR INSTALLATION,
REMOVE AND ISOLATE THE NEGATIVE (-)
CABLE(S) FROM THE BATTERY. THIS IS THE ONLY
SURE WAY TO DISABLE THE AIRBAG SYSTEM.
THEN WAIT TWO MINUTES FOR SYSTEM CAPACI-
TOR TO DISCHARGE BEFORE FURTHER SYSTEM
SERVICE. FAILURE TO DO THIS COULD RESULT IN
ACCIDENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND POSSI-
BLE INJURY.
(1) Disconnect and isolate negative battery
cable(s).
(2) Remove airbag module. Refer to 8, Restraint
Systems for procedures.
(3) Remove switch-to-steering wheel mounting
screws (Fig. 20).
(4) Remove switch.
(5) Remove electrical connector at switch.
INSTALLATION
(1) Install electrical connector to switch.
(2) Install switch and mounting screws.
(3) Tighten screws to 3 N´m (26 in. lbs. +/± 2 in.
lbs.) torque.(4) Install airbag module. Refer to 8, Restraint
Systems for procedures.
(5) Connect negative battery cable(s).
VACUUM RESERVOIR
DESCRIPTION
Gasoline Powered Engines :A vacuum reservoir
is used to supply the vacuum needed to maintain
proper speed control operation when engine vacuum
drops, such as in climbing a grade while driving. A
one-way check valve is used in the vacuum line
between the reservoir and the vacuum source. This
check valve is used to trap engine vacuum in the res-
ervoir. On certain vehicle applications, this reservoir
is shared with the heating/air-conditioning system.
The vacuum reservoir cannot be repaired and must
be replaced if faulty.
Diesel Powered Engines With Auto. Trans. :A
vacuum reservoir is not used if equipped with a die-
sel powered engine. Instead, an engine driven pump
(vacuum pump) is used to supply vacuum for speed
control operation. This vacuum pump is used with
the diesel engine only if it is equipped with an auto-
matic transmission. Refer to Vacuum Pump in 9,
Engines for information.
REMOVAL
The vacuum reservoir is located under the plastic
cowel plenum cover at lower base of windshield. The
vacuum reservoir is not used if equipped with a die-
sel engine.

WIPERS/WASHERS
DESCRIPTION
An electrically operated intermittent wiper and
washer system is standard factory-installed safety
equipment on this model. The wiper and washer sys-
tem includes the following major components, which
are described in further detail elsewhere in this ser-
vice information:
²Central Timer Module- The Central Timer
Module (CTM) is located under the driver side end of
the instrument panel, inboard of the instrument
panel steering column opening. A base version of the
CTM is used on base models of this vehicle. The base
version of the CTM combines the functions of a
chime module and an intermittent wipe module in a
single unit. The high-line version of the CTM is used
on high-line vehicles. The high-line CTM provides all
of the functions of the base version of the CTM, but
also is used to control and integrate many additionalelectronic functions and features included on high-
line models. The premium version of the CTM is the
same as the high-line version, but is used only on
models equipped with the heated seat option. The
high-line and premium versions of the CTM contain
integrated circuitry, a central processing unit and the
programming to provide all of the proper wiper and
washer system features based upon the monitored
inputs. The high-line and premium CTM circuitry
monitors hard wired switch inputs, as well as mes-
sage inputs received from other vehicle electronic
modules on the Chrysler Collision Detection (CCD)
data bus network. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/ELEC-
TRONIC CONTROL MODULES/BODY CONTROL/
CENTRAL TIMER MODULE - DESCRIPTION).
²Multi-Function Switch- The multi-function
switch is secured to the left side of the steering col-
umn, just below the steering wheel. Only the control
stalk for the multi-function switch is visible, the
remainder of the switch is concealed beneath the
steering column shrouds. The multi-function switch

WIRE
STANDARD PROCEDURE - WIRE SPLICING
When splicing a wire, it is important that the cor-
rect gage be used as shown in the wiring diagrams.
(1) Remove one-half (1/2) inch of insulation from
each wire that needs to be spliced.
(2) Place a piece of adhesive lined heat shrink tub-
ing on one side of the wire. Make sure the tubing will
be long enough to cover and seal the entire repair
area.
(3) Place the strands of wire overlapping each
other inside of the splice clip (Fig. 19).
(4) Using crimping tool, Miller p/n 8272, crimp the
splice clip and wires together (Fig. 20)
(5) Solder the connection together using rosin core
type solder only (Fig. 21).
CAUTION: DO NOT USE ACID CORE SOLDER.
(6) Center the heat shrink tubing over the joint
and heat using a heat gun. Heat the joint until the
tubing is tightly sealed and sealant comes out of both
ends of the tubing (Fig. 22).
