through the relay. When coolant temperature is be-
low 88ÉC (190ÉF), the PCM opens the ground path to
the relay. This will prevent the cooling fan from be-
ing energized.
Whenever the air conditioning is used, the PCM
engages the auxiliary cooling fan. It provides a
ground path to the cooling fan relay.
DIAGNOSIS
The powertrain control module (PCM) will enter a
diagnostic trouble code (DTC) number 35 in memory
if it detects a problem in the auxiliary cooling fan re-
lay or circuit. This will be read as a flashing signal
at the instrument panel mounted Malfunction Indica-
tor Lamp (formerly referred to as the Check Engine
Lamp). Refer to On-Board Diagnostics in Group 14,
Fuel Systems for information on accessing a DTC.
The DTC can also be accessed through the DRB
scan tool. Refer to the appropriate Powertrain Diag-
nostic Procedures manual for diagnostic information
and operation of the DRB scan tool.
REMOVAL
The auxiliary fan is attached to the radiator upper
crossmember behind the radiator.
(1) Remove the fan retaining bolts from radiator
upper crossmember (Fig. 41).
(2) Disconnect the electric fan connector.
(3) Lift fan straight up and out of vehicle.
INSTALLATION
(1) Align lower retaining tabs of fan shroud with
slots in bracket at bottom of radiator. Push fan down
into position.
(2) Tighten the mounting bolts to 4 Nzm (31 in.
lbs.) torque.
(3) Connect auxiliary cooling fan electrical connec-
tor.
TRANSMISSION OIL COOLERS
WATER-TO-OIL COOLER
All models equipped with an automatic transmis-
sion are equipped with a transmission oil cooler
mounted internally within the radiator tank. This in-
ternal cooler is supplied as standard equipment on
all models equipped with an automatic transmission.
Transmission oil is cooled when it passes through
this separate cooler. In case of a leak in the internal
radiator mounted transmission oil cooler, engine
coolant may become mixed with transmission fluid or
transmission fluid may enter engine cooling system.
Both cooling system and transmission should be
drained and inspected if the internal radiator
mounted transmission cooler is leaking.
Also refer to the section on Transmission Air-to-Oil
Coolers. This auxiliary air-to-oil cooler is an option
on most engine packages.
REPLACING WATER-TO-OIL COOLER IN
RADIATOR SIDE TANK
The internal transmission oil cooler located within
the radiator is not serviceable. If it requires service,
the radiator must be replaced.
Once the repaired or replacement radiator has been
installed, fill the cooling system and inspect for
leaks. Refer to the Refilling Cooling System and
Testing Cooling System For Leaks sections in this
group. If the transmission operates properly after re-
pairing the leak, drain the transmission and remove
the transmission oil pan. Inspect for sludge and/or
rust. Inspect for a dirty or plugged inlet filter. If
none of these conditions are found, the transmission

GENERAL INFORMATION
Throughout this group, references are made to par-
ticular vehicle models by alphabetical designation or
by the particular vehicle nameplate. A chart showing
a breakdown of the alphabetical designations is in-
cluded in the Introduction section at the beginning of
this manual.
TheFuel Systemconsists of: the fuel tank, an
electric (fuel tank mounted) fuel pump and a fuel fil-
ter. It also consists of fuel tubes/lines/hoses, vacuum
hoses, throttle body and fuel injectors.
TheFuel Delivery Systemconsists of: the electric
fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel tubes/lines/hoses, fuel rail,
fuel injectors and fuel pressure regulator.
AFuel Return Systemis used on all vehicles.
The system consists of: the fuel tubes/lines/hoses that
route fuel back to the fuel tank.
TheFuel Tank Assemblyconsists of: the fuel
tank, filler tube, fuel gauge sending unit/electric fuel
pump module, a pressure relief/rollover valve and a
pressure-vacuum filler cap.
Also to be considered part of the fuel system is the
Evaporation Control System.This is designed to
reduce the emission of fuel vapors into the atmo-
sphere. The description and function of the Evapora-
tive Control System is found in Group 25, Emission
Control Systems.
FUEL USAGE STATEMENT
Your vehicle was designed to meet all emission reg-
ulations and provide excellent fuel economy using
high quality unleaded gasoline. Only use unleaded
gasolines having a minimum posted octane of 87.
If your vehicle develops occasional light spark
knock (ping) at low engine speeds, this is not harm-
ful. However,continued heavy knock at high
speeds can cause damage and should be re-
ported to your dealer immediately.Engine dam-age as a result of heavy knock operation may not be
covered by the new vehicle warranty.
In addition to using unleaded gasoline with the
proper octane rating,those that contain deter-
gents, corrosion and stability additives are rec-
ommended.Using gasolines that have these
additives will help improve fuel economy, reduce
emissions and maintain vehicle performance. Gener-
ally, premium unleaded gasolines contain more addi-
tive than regular unleaded gasolines.
Poor quality gasolinecan cause problems such
as hard starting, stalling and stumble. If you experi-
ence these problems, use another brand of gasoline
before considering service for the vehicle.
GASOLINE/OXYGENATE BLENDS
Some fuel suppliers blend unleaded gasoline with
materials that contain oxygen such as alcohol, MTBE
and ETBE. The type and amount of oxygenate used
in the blend is important. The following are generally
used in gasoline blends:
ETHANOL
Ethanol (Ethyl or Grain Alcohol) properly blended,
is used as a mixture of 10 percent ethanol and 90
percent gasoline.Gasoline with ethanol may be
used in your vehicle.
METHANOL
CAUTION: DO NOT USE GASOLINES CONTAINING
METHANOL.Use of methanol/gasoline blends may re-
sult in starting and driveability problems. In addition,
damage may be done to critical fuel system compo-
nents.
Methanol (Methyl or Wood Alcohol) is used in a va-
riety of concentrations blended with unleaded gaso-
JFUEL SYSTEM 14 - 1

line. You may encounter fuels containing 3 percent
or more methanol along with other alcohols called co-
solvents.
Problems that are the result of using methanol/gas-
oline blends are not the responsibility of Chrysler
Corporation. They may not be covered by the vehicle
warranty.
MTBE/ETBE
Gasoline and MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether)
blends are a mixture of unleaded gasoline and up to
15 percent MTBE. Gasoline and ETBE (Ethyl Ter-
tiary Butyl Ether) are blends of gasoline and up to
17 percent ETBE. Gasoline blended with MTBE or
ETBE may be used in your vehicle.CLEAN AIR GASOLINE
Many gasolines are now being blended that con-
tribute to cleaner air, especially in those areas of the
country where air pollution levels are high. These
new blends provide a cleaner burning fuel and some
are referred to asReformulated Gasoline.
In areas of the country where carbon monoxide lev-
els are high, gasolines are being treated with oxy-
genated materials such as MTBE, ETBE and
ethanol.
Chrysler Corporation supports these efforts toward
cleaner air and recommends that you use these gas-
olines as they become available.

FUEL PUMP MODULE
The fuel pump module is installed in the top of the
fuel tank. The fuel pump module contains the follow-
ing components:
²Electric fuel pump
²Fuel pump reservoir
²In-tank fuel filter
²Fuel gauge sending unit
²Fuel supply and return tube connections
The fuel pump used on all vehicles is a gear/rotor
type pump. It is driven by a permanent magnet 12
volt electric motor that is immersed in the fuel tank.
The electrical pump is integral with the fuel sender
unit. The pump/sender assembly is installed inside
the fuel tank.
The fuel pump has a check valve at the outlet end
that consists of a ball held against a seat by force ap-
plied from a spring. When the pump is operating,
fuel pressure overcomes spring pressure and forces
the ball off its seat, allowing fuel to flow. When the
pump is not operating, spring pressure forces the ball
back against the seat preventing fuel backflow
through the pump.
Fuel system pressure is maintained at approxi-
mately 214 kPa (31 psi). This is when the pump is
operating and vacuum is supplied to the fuel pres-
sure regulator. If vacuum is not supplied to the pres-
sure regulator, fuel pressure will be approximately
55-69 kPa (8-10 psi) higher. This may be due to a
broken or clogged vacuum line. When the fuel pumpis not operating, system fuel pressure of 131-269 kPa
(19-39 psi) is maintained. This is done by the fuel
pump outlet check valve and the vacuum assisted
fuel pressure regulator.
REMOVALÐXJ MODELS
The fuel pump/gauge sender unit assembly can be
removed from the fuel tank without removing the
tank from the vehicle.
WARNING: THE FUEL SYSTEM IS UNDER A CON-
STANT PRESSURE (EVEN WITH THE ENGINE OFF).
BEFORE SERVICING THE FUEL PUMP MODULE,
THE FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE MUST BE RE-
LEASED. REFER TO THE FUEL PRESSURE RE-
