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.

(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-

AMPLIFIER
DESCRIPTION
The optional Infinity premium speaker system
includes a separate Infinity audio power amplifier.
The amplifier is a six channel unit and is rated at
240 total output watts. The amplifier is located
behind the glove box.
OPERATION
The power amplifier electronically increases the
frequency response of the normal audio signal output
from the radio amplifier in order to improve the
acoustic performance of the speakers. On vehiclesequipped with an amplifier, the amplifier section of
the radio becomes a pre-amplifier.
The amplifier receives audio signal inputs for
speaker channels from the radio, then sends ampli-
fied audio outputs through six separate channels
with dedicated feed and return circuits to the indi-
vidual speakers.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Remove glove box (Refer to 23 - BODY/IN-
STRUMENT PANEL/GLOVE BOX - REMOVAL).

OPERATION
FASTEN SEAT BELT
The seat belt reminder system uses both visual
and audible signals. The Instrument Cluster moni-
tors the driver seat belt buckle switch. When the
ignition switch transitions from OFF to RUN and the
driver seat belt has not been buckled, the Instrument
Cluster will illuminate the seat belt indicator lamp
and sound the chime. The system will always illumi-
nate the seat belt reminder lamp for four to eight
seconds when the ignition switch is turned to the ON
position. The CHIME will sound during the same
time interval if the driver's seat belt is not fastened.
The warning lamp will remain illuminated as long as
the seat belt remains unbuckled, and the ignition
switch is in the RUN position. Passenger seat belts
are not connected to the system.
HEADLAMPS REMINDER
The Instrument Cluster monitors the multiplex
headlamp switch. The headlamp audible warning will
alert the driver that the exterior lamps have been
left on. If the ignition switch is left off, the driver's
door open, and the headlamp switch is in the parklamp or headlamp position, the chime will sound
until the headlamp switch is turned off, the door is
closed or the battery protection time out expires.
KEY IN IGNITION REMINDER
The Instrument Cluster monitors the ignition
switch. The chime will activate if the drivers door is
opened and the key is in the ignition switch, with the
ignition switch in either the OFF, LOCK, or the
accessory (ACC) position. The chime will continue
until the key is removed from the ignition switch or
the door is closed.
DOOR AJAR CHIME
The Instrument Cluster monitors the door ajar
switches. A chime will sound once when the door is
opened, the ignition is in RUN position and vehicle
speed is present.
TURN SIGNAL ON
The Instrument Cluster monitors the multiplex
multifunction switch. The instrument cluster shall
remind the driver that either turn signal has been
left on by a continuous chime after the turn signal
indicator is left ON for 1.0 miles and the vehicle
speed is 15 mph or greater.
LOW FUEL REMINDER
When the fuel level drops to approximately 1/8
tank, the fuel symbol will light and a single chime
will sound. The light will remain on until fuel is
added.
OVER SPEED
During any ignition ON, the Instrument Cluster
maintains the most recently received speed. If the
vehicle speed exceeds a preprogramed limit set in the
instrument cluster it will activate a single chime.
WARNING LAMP ANNOUNCEMENT
The Instrument Cluster monitors critical engine
and transmission system parameters. If any of the
systems are out of their operating parameters, the
instrument cluster will illuminate a lamp and acti-
vate and audible chime.
DRCHIME/BUZZER 8B - 1

LOW WASH INDICATOR
The Front Control Module (FCM) monitors the
washer reservoir. When the fluid is low the FCM
transmits a J1850 message over the bus. The instru-
ment cluster will chime and illuminate the LOW
WASH indicator. The indicator will remain on until
the fluid level is corrected.
AIR BAG
The Instrument Cluster monitors air bag system
via the J1850 bus communications from the air bag
module. The air bag module will transmit a message
once per second, over the J1850 bus, as to whether
the warning indicator should be on or off. The warn-
ing indicator indicates a part of the air bag system is
inoperative and needs to be serviced. Itdoes not
indicate that the air bag system will not deploy. If
the instrument cluster does not receive a message
from the air bag module for 3 consecutive seconds,
the Instrument will illuminate the warning indicator.The air bag module transmits a J1850 message
requesting the instrument cluster to perform a bulb
check each time the ignition is turned to the on posi-
tion

ENGINE CONTROL MODULE
DESCRIPTION - ECM
The Engine Control Module (ECM) is bolted to the
left side of the engine below the intake manifold (Fig.
2).
OPERATION - ECM
The main function of the Engine Control Module
(ECM) is to electrically control the fuel system. The
Powertrain Control Module (PCM)does not control
the fuel system.
The ECM can adapt its programming to meet
changing operating conditions.If the ECM has
been replaced, flashed or re-calibrated, the
ECM must learn the Accelerator Pedal Position
Sensor (APPS) idle voltage. Failure to learn
this voltage may result in unnecessary diagnos-
tic trouble codes. Refer to ECM Removal/Instal-
lation for learning procedures.
The ECM receives input signals from various
switches and sensors. Based on these inputs, the
ECM regulates various engine and vehicle operations
through different system components. These compo-
nents are referred to asECM Outputs.The sensors
and switches that provide inputs to the ECM are
consideredECM Inputs.NOTE: ECM Inputs:
²Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor (APPS) Volts
