RADIO
DESCRIPTION
Available factory-installed radio receivers for this
model include an AM/FM/cassette (RAS sales code),
an AM/FM/CD/3-band graphic equalizer (RBR sales
code), or an AM/FM/CD/cassette/3-band graphic
equalizer (RAZ sales code). The factory-installed RAZ
sales code radio receivers can also communicate on
the Chrysler Collision Detection (CCD) data bus net-
work through a separate two-way wire harness con-
nector. All factory-installed receivers are stereo
Electronically Tuned Radios (ETR) and include an
electronic digital clock function.
These radio receivers can only be serviced by an
authorized radio repair station. See the latest War-
ranty Policies and Procedures manual for a current
listing of authorized radio repair stations.
All vehicles are equipped with an Ignition-Off
Draw (IOD) fuse that is removed when the vehicle is
shipped from the factory. This fuse feeds various
accessories that require battery current when the
ignition switch is in the Off position, including the
clock. The IOD fuse is removed to prevent battery
discharge during vehicle storage.
When removing or installing the IOD fuse, it is
important that the ignition switch be in the Off posi-
tion. Failure to place the ignition switch in the Off
position can cause the radio display to become scram-
bled when the IOD fuse is removed and replaced.
Removing and replacing the IOD fuse again, with the
ignition switch in the Off position, will correct the
scrambled display condition.
The IOD fuse should be checked if the radio or
clock displays are inoperative. The IOD fuse is
located in the junction block. Refer to the fuse layout
label on the back of the instrument panel fuse access
panel for IOD fuse identification and location.
OPERATION
The radio receiver operates on fused battery cur-
rent that is available only when the ignition switch is
in the On or Accessory positions. The electronic digi-
tal clock function of the radio operates on fused bat-
tery current supplied through the IOD fuse,
regardless of the ignition switch position.
For more information on the features, setting pro-
cedures, and control functions for each of the avail-
able factory-installed radio receivers, see the owner's
manual in the vehicle glove box. For complete circuit
diagrams, refer to the appropriate wiring informa-
tion. The wiring information includes wiring dia-
grams, proper wire and connector repair procedures,
details of wire harness routing and retention, connec-
tor pin-out information and location views for the
various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.

²Engine-to-body ground straps
²Generator
²Ignition module
²Heater core ground strap
²Radio antenna base ground
²Radio receiver chassis ground wire or strap
²Wiper motor.If the source of RFI or EMI noise is identified as a
component on the vehicle (i.e., generator, blower
motor, etc.), the ground path for that component
should be checked. If excessive resistance is found in
any ground circuit, clean, tighten, or repair the
ground circuits or connections to ground as required
before considering any component replacement.
For service and inspection of secondary ignition
components, refer to Electrical, Ignition Control.
Inspect the following secondary ignition system com-
ponents:
²Distributor cap and rotor
²Ignition coil
²Spark plugs
²Spark plug wire routing and condition.
Reroute the spark plug wires or replace the faulty
components as required.
If the source of the RFI or EMI noise is identified
as two-way mobile radio or telephone equipment,
check the equipment installation for the following:
²Power connections should be made directly to
the battery, and fused as closely to the battery as
possible.
²The antenna should be mounted on the roof or
toward the rear of the vehicle. Remember that mag-
netic antenna mounts on the roof panel can adversely
affect the operation of an overhead console compass,
if the vehicle is so equipped.
²The antenna cable should be fully shielded coax-
ial cable, should be as short as is practical, and
should be routed away from the factory-installed
vehicle wire harnesses whenever possible.
²The antenna and cable must be carefully
matched to ensure a low Standing Wave Ratio
(SWR).
Fleet vehicles are available with an extra-cost RFI-
suppressed Powertrain Control Module (PCM). This
unit reduces interference generated by the PCM on
some radio frequencies used in two-way radio com-
munications. However, this unit will not resolve com-
plaints of RFI in the commercial AM or FM radio
frequency ranges.

CENTRAL TIMER MODULE
DESCRIPTION
Three versions of the Central Timer Module (CTM)
are available on this vehicle, a base version (Fig. 1),
a high-line version (Fig. 2), and a premium version.
Whichever version of the CTM the vehicle is
equipped with, it is concealed under the driver side
end of the instrument panel inboard of the instru-
ment panel steering column opening, where it is
secured to a stamped steel bracket that is integral to
the instrument panel armature. The CTM is enclosed
in a molded plastic housing with one (base) or two
(high-line/premium) integral external connector
receptacles that connect it to the vehicle electrical
system through one (base) or two (high-line/pre-
mium) take outs with connectors from the instru-
ment panel wire harness.
The base version of the CTM is used on base mod-
els of this vehicle. It is also sometimes referred to as
the Integrated Electronic Module (IEM). The base
version of the CTM combines the functions of achime 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 additional
electronic 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
utilize integrated circuitry and information carried
on the Chrysler Collision Detection (CCD) data bus
network along with many hard wired inputs to mon-
itor many sensor and switch inputs throughout the
vehicle. In response to those inputs, the internal cir-
cuitry and programming of the CTM allow it to con-
trol and integrate many electronic functions and
features of the vehicle through both hard wired out-
puts and the transmission of electronic message out-
puts to other electronic modules in the vehicle over
the CCD data bus.
BR/BEELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES 8E - 1

CTM through the use of a combination of soldered
splices, splice block connectors, and many different
types of wire harness terminal connectors and insu-
lators. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
The wiring information includes wiring diagrams,
proper wire and connector repair procedures, further
details on wire harness routing and retention, as well
as pin-out and location views for the various wire
harness connectors, splices and grounds.
All versions of the CTM for this model are serviced
only as a complete unit. Many of the electronic fea-
tures in the vehicle controlled or supported by the
high-line or premium versions of the CTM are pro-
grammable using the DRBIIItscan tool.However, if
any of the CTM hardware components are damaged
or faulty, the entire CTM unit must be replaced. The
base version of the CTM and the hard wired inputs
or outputs of all CTM versions can be diagnosed
using conventional diagnostic tools and methods;
however, for diagnosis of the high-line or premium
versions of the CTM or the CCD data bus, the use of
a DRBIIItscan tool is required. Refer to the appro-
priate diagnostic information.
OPERATION
The Central Timer Module (CTM) is designed to
control and integrate many of the electronic features
and functions of the vehicle. The base version of the
CTM monitors only hard wired inputs and responds
with the proper hard wired outputs. The microproces-
sor-based high-line/premium version of the CTM
monitors many hard wired switch and sensor inputs
as well as those resources it shares with other elec-
tronic modules in the vehicle through its communica-
tion over the Chrysler Collision Detection (CCD) data
bus network. The internal programming and all of
these inputs allow the high-line/premium CTM
microprocessor to determine the tasks it needs to
perform and their priorities, as well as both the stan-
dard and optional features that it should provide.
The high-line/premium CTM programming then per-
forms those tasks and provides those features
through both CCD data bus communication with
other electronic modules and through hard wired out-
puts to a number of circuits, relays, and actuators.
These outputs allow the high-line/premium CTM the
ability to control numerous accessory systems in the
vehicle.
All versions of the CTM operate on battery current
received through fuses in the Junction Block (JB) on
a non-switched fused B(+) circuit, a fused ignition
switch output (st-run) circuit (base version only), and
a fused ignition switch output (run-acc) circuit (high-
line/premium version only). This arrangement allows
the CTM to provide some features regardless of the
ignition switch position, while other features willoperate only with the ignition switch in the Acces-
sory, On, and/or Start positions. All versions of the
CTM are grounded through their connector and take
out of the instrument panel wire harness. The high-
line/premium CTM has another ground received
through a second connector and take out of the
instrument panel wire harness. The first ground cir-
cuit receives ground through a take out with an eye-
let terminal connector of the instrument panel wire
harness that is secured by a nut to a ground stud
located on the left instrument panel end bracket,
while the second ground circuit (high-line/premium
version only) receives ground through a take out with
an eyelet terminal connector of the instrument panel
wire harness that is secured by a nut to a ground
stud located on the back of the instrument panel
armature above the inboard side of the instrument
panel steering column opening.
The high-line/premium CTM monitors its own
internal circuitry as well as many of its input and
output circuits, and will store a Diagnostic Trouble
Code (DTC) in electronic memory for any failure it
detects. These DTCs can be retrieved and diagnosed
using a DRBIIItscan tool. Refer to the appropriate
diagnostic information.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - CENTRAL TIMER
MODULE
The hard wired inputs to and outputs from the
Central Timer Module (CTM) may be diagnosed and
tested using conventional diagnostic tools and meth-
ods. Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The
wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper
wire and connector repair procedures, further details
on wire harness routing and retention, as well as
pin-out and location views for the various wire har-
ness connectors, splices and grounds.
However, conventional diagnostic methods may not
prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the high-line/pre-
mium CTM. In order to obtain conclusive testing of
the high-line/premium CTM, the Chrysler CollisionDetection (CCD) data bus network and all of the elec-
tronic modules that provide inputs to or receive out-
puts from the CTM must also be checked. The most
reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose
the high-line/premium CTM, the CCD data bus net-
work, and the electronic modules that provide inputs
to or receive outputs from the high-line/premium
CTM requires the use of a DRBIIItscan tool and the
appropriate diagnostic information. The DRBIIIt
scan tool can provide confirmation that the CCD data
bus network is functional, that all of the electronic
modules are sending and receiving the proper mes-
sages over the CCD data bus, and that the CTM is
receiving the proper hard wired inputs and respond-
ing with the proper hard wired outputs needed to
perform its many functions.
