BRAKES - ABS
DESCRIPTION
The antilock brake system (ABS) is an electroni-
cally operated, three channel brake control system.
The vehicle has Electronic Variable Brake Propor-
tioning (EVBP) designed into the system which elim-
inates the combination/proportioning valve.
The system is designed to prevent wheel lockup
and maintain steering control during braking. Pre-
venting lockup is accomplished by modulating fluid
pressure to the wheel brake units.
The hydraulic system is a three channel design.
The front wheel brakes are controlled individually
and the rear wheel brakes in tandem. The ABS elec-
trical system is separate from other electrical circuits
in the vehicle. A specially programmed controller
antilock brake unit operates the system components.
ABS system major components include:
²Controller Antilock Brakes (CAB)
²Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU)
²Wheel Speed Sensors (WSS)
²ABS Warning Light
OPERATION
Battery voltage is supplied to the CAB. The CAB
performs a system initialization procedure at start
up. A check of the ABS motor is performed at 15
miles per hour. Initialization consists of a static and
dynamic self check of system electrical components.
The static and dynamic checks occurs at ignition
start up. During the dynamic check, the CAB briefly
cycles solenoids to verify operation. An audible noise
may be heard during this self check. This noise
should be considered normal. The ABS motor and
pump are then checked at a speed of 15 mile per
hour.
If an ABS component exhibits a fault during ini-
tialization, the CAB illuminates the amber warning
light and registers a fault code in the microprocessor
memory.
The CAB monitors wheel speed sensor inputs con-
tinuously while the vehicle is in motion. However,
the CAB will not activate any ABS components as
long as sensor inputs indicate normal braking.
During normal braking, the master cylinder, power
booster and wheel brake units all function as they
would in a vehicle without ABS. The HCU compo-
nents are not activated.

(6) Remove the power steering cooler mounting
bolts and position the power steering cooler out of
the way.
(7) Disconnect the transmission cooler lines at the
transmission. The transmission cooler will remain on
the radiator and can be removed as an assembly.
(8) Remove the lower shroud assembly and the
electronic viscous fan wiring from the upper shroud
assembly.
(9) Remove the two radiator upper mounting bolts
(Fig. 36).
(10) Lift radiator straight up and out of engine
compartment. The bottom of the radiator is equipped
with two alignment dowels that fit into holes in the
lower radiator support panel. Rubber biscuits (insu-
lators) are installed to these dowels. Take care not to
damage cooling fins or tubes on the radiator and air
conditioning condenser when removing.
CLEANING
Clean radiator fins are necessary for good heat
transfer. The radiator and oil cooler fins should be
cleaned when an accumulation of debris has
occurred. With the engine cold, apply cold water and
compressed air to the back (engine side) of the radi-
ator to flush the radiator and/or oil coolers of debris.
INSPECTION
Inspect the radiator side tanks for cracks, broken
or missing fittings also inspect the joint where the
tanks seam up to the radiator core for signs of leak-
age and/or deteriorating seals.
Inspect radiator core for corroded, bent or missing
cooling fins. Inspect the core for bent or damaged
cooling tubes.
INSTALLATION
(1) Install rubber insulators to alignment dowels
at lower part of radiator.
(2) Lower the radiator into position while guiding
the two alignment dowels into lower radiator sup-
port. Different alignment holes are provided in the
lower radiator support for each engine application.
(3) Install two upper radiator mounting bolts.
Tighten bolts to 11 N´m (95 in. lbs.) torque.
(4) Connect both radiator hoses and install hose
clamps.

(12) Operate engine until it reaches normal tem-
perature. Check cooling system and automatic trans-
mission (if equipped) fluid levels.
RADIATOR PRESSURE CAP
DESCRIPTION
All cooling systems are equipped with a pressure
cap (Fig. 37). For 5.9L engines, the pressure cap is
located on top of the radiator outlet tank. For the
3.7L/4.7L engines, the pressure cap is located on top
of the coolant degas container. The cap releases pres-
sure at some point within a range of 97-to-124 kPa
(14-to-18 psi). The pressure relief point (in pounds) is
engraved on top of the cap
The cooling system will operate at pressures
slightly above atmospheric pressure. This results in a
higher coolant boiling point allowing increased radi-
ator cooling capacity. The cap contains a spring-

DESCRIPTION
An air-to-oil transmission oil cooler is standard on
all engine packages. The transmission oil cooler is
mounted to the front of the radiator above the power
steering cooler (Fig. 2).
OPERATION
Transmission oil is routed through the cooler
where heat is removed from the transmission oil
before returning to the transmission. Vehicles
equipped with the 5.9L engine have an internal ther-
mostat that controls fluid flow through the cooler-
.When the transmission fluid is cold ( less than
operating temperature) the fluid is routed through
the cooler bypass. when the transmission fluid
reaches operating temperatures and above, the ther-
mostat closes off the bypass allowing fluid flow
through the cooler. The thermostat is serviceable.
NOTE: Vehicles with the 3.7L/4.7L engines are not
equipped with the oil cooler thermostat.

²Wipe-After-Wash Mode- When the control
knob on the control stalk of the multi-function switch
is depressed to the momentary Wash position for
more than about one-half second with the wiper sys-
tem turned Off, the washer pump/motor and the wip-
ers will operate for as long as the washer switch is
held closed up to about thirty seconds, then provide
several additional wipe cycles after the control knob
is released before parking the wiper blades near the
base of the windshield. If the control knob is held in
the depressed Wash position for more than about
thirty seconds, washer system operation will be sus-
pended until the control knob is released for about
two seconds then cycled back to the Wash position.
OPERATION
The wiper and washer system is designed to pro-
vide the vehicle operator with a convenient, safe, and
reliable means of maintaining visibility through the
windshield glass. The various components of this sys-
tem are designed to convert electrical energy pro-
duced by the vehicle electrical system into the
mechanical action of the wiper blades to wipe the
outside surface of the glass, as well as into the
hydraulic action of the washer system to apply
washer fluid stored in an on-board reservoir to the
area of the glass to be wiped. When combined, these
components provide the means to effectively main-
tain clear visibility for the vehicle operator by remov-
ing excess accumulations of rain, snow, bugs, mud, or
other minor debris from the outside windshield glass
surface that might be encountered while driving the
vehicle under numerous types of inclement operating
conditions.
The vehicle operator initiates all wiper and washer
system functions with the control knob on the end of
the control stalk of the multi-function switch that
extends from the left side of the steering column, just
below the steering wheel. Rotating the control knob
on the end of the control stalk, selects the Off, Delay,
Low, or High wiper system operating modes. In the
Delay mode, the control knob also allows the vehicle
operator to select from one of five intermittent wipe
Delay intervals. Depressing the control knob towards
the steering column actuates the momentary washer
system switch, which selects the Wash, Wipe-After-
Wash, and Pulse Wipe Modes depending upon when
and how long the switch is held closed. The multi-
function switch provides hard wired resistor multi-
plexed inputs to the instrument cluster for all of the
wiper and washer system functions. The instrument
cluster then sends electronic messages to the Front
Control Module (FCM) over the Programmable Com-
munications Interface (PCI) data bus requesting the
appropriate wiper and washer system operating
modes.Wiper and washer system operation are completely
controlled by the instrument cluster and FCM logic
circuits, and that logic will only allow these systems
to operate when the ignition switch is in the Acces-
sory or On positions. Battery current is directed from
a B(+) fuse in the Integrated Power Module (IPM) to
the wiper on/off relay and the wiper high/low relay in
the IPM through a fused B(+) circuit. The FCM uses
low side drivers to control wiper system operation by
energizing or de-energizing the wiper high/low and
wiper on/off relays. The FCM uses a high side driver
to control the operation of the washer pump motor
unit. The multi-function switch circuitry receives a
clean ground output from the instrument cluster on a
multi-function switch return circuit, then provides
resistor multiplexed inputs to the instrument cluster
on an intermittent wipe mux circuit to indicate the
selected wiper system mode and on a wash/beam
select mux circuit to indicate the selected washer sys-
tem mode.
The hard wired circuits and components of the
wiper and washer system may be diagnosed and
tested using conventional diagnostic tools and proce-
dures. However, conventional diagnostic methods
may not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the
instrument cluster, the FCM, or the electronic mes-
sage inputs to or outputs from the instrument cluster
or FCM that control the wiper and washer system
operating modes. The most reliable, efficient, and
accurate means to diagnose the instrument cluster or
the FCM inputs and outputs related to the various
wiper and washer system operating modes requires
the use of a DRBIIItscan tool. Refer to the appro-
priate diagnostic information.
OPERATING MODES
Following are paragraphs that briefly describe the
operation of each of the wiper and washer system
operating modes.
CONTINUOUS WIPE MODE
When the Low position of the control knob on the
control stalk of the multi-function switch is selected
the instrument cluster sends an electronic wiper
switch low message to the FCM, then the FCM ener-
gizes the wiper on/off relay. This directs battery cur-
rent through the normally open contacts of the
energized wiper on/off relay and the normally closed
contacts of the de-energized wiper high/low relay to
the low speed brush of the wiper motor, causing the
wipers to cycle at low speed.
When the High position of the control knob is
selected the instrument cluster sends an electronic
wiper switch high message to the FCM, then the
FCM energizes both the wiper on/off relay and the
wiper high/low relay. This directs battery current
