PWM FAN CONTROL MODULE -
4.0L
DESCRIPTION
The pulse width modulated (PWM) radiator cooling
fan relay is located behind the front bumper fascia
below the right headlamp.
OPERATION
The PWM relay is used to control the speed of the
electric radiator cooling fan. It allows for multiple fan
speeds. This allows for improved fan noise and A/C
performance, better engine cooling, and additional
vehicle power.
PWM relay operation is controlled by the Power-
train Control Module (PCM). To operate the PWM
relay, the PCM looks at inputs from:
²Engine coolant temperature
²Ambient temperature from the body controller
²Vehicle speed
²Transmission oil temperature
²A/C switch position (A/C request)
REMOVAL
The Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) cooling fan
relay is located below the right headlamp behind the
bumper fascia (Fig. 28).
(1) Remove front bumper and grill assembly.
(2) Remove 1 support bolt near front of reservoir
(Fig. 28).
(3) Remove 2 reservoir mounting bolts.
(4) Remove reservoir from vehicle to gain access to
vacuum hose (Fig. 29). Disconnect vacuum hose from
reservoir fitting at rear of reservoir.
(5) Disconnect electrical connector at relay (Fig.
30).
(6) Remove 2 relay mounting bolts (Fig. 30) and
remove relay.

RADIATOR FAN MOTOR
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTINGÐELECTRIC
COOLING FAN
The powertrain control module (PCM) will enter a
diagnostic trouble code (DTC) in memory if it detects
a problem in the auxiliary cooling fan relay or circuit.
(Refer to 25 - EMISSIONS CONTROL - DESCRIP-
TION).
If the electric cooling fan is inoperative, check the
15A fuse in the junction block and the 40A fuse in
the Power Distribution Center (PDC) with a 12 volt
test lamp or DVOM. Refer to the inside of the PDC
cover for the exact location of the fuse. If fuses are
okay, refer to ELECTRICAL for cooling fan and relay
circuit schematic.
WATER PUMP - 4.7L
DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTIONÐWATER PUMP
A centrifugal water pump circulates coolant
through the water jackets, passages, intake manifold,
radiator core, cooling system hoses and heater core.
The pump is driven from the engine crankshaft by a
single serpentine drive belt.
The water pump impeller is pressed onto the rear
of a shaft that rotates in bearings pressed into the
housing. The housing has two small holes to allow
seepage to escape. The water pump seals are lubri-
cated by the antifreeze in the coolant mixture. No
additional lubrication is necessary.
Both heater hoses are connected to fittings on the
timing chain front cover. The water pump is also
mounted directly to the timing chain cover and is
equipped with a non serviceable integral pulley (Fig.
42).
DESCRIPTIONÐWATER PUMP BYPASS
The 4.7L engine uses an internal water/coolant
bypass system. The design uses galleries in the tim-
ing chain cover to circulate coolant during engine
warm-up preventing the coolant from flowing
through the radiator. The thermostat uses a stub
shaft located at the rear of the thermostat (Fig. 43)
to control flow through the bypass gallery.

AUDIO
DESCRIPTION
An audio system is standard factory-installed
equipment on this model. The standard equipment
audio system includes an AM/FM/cassette (RBB sales
code) radio receiver, and speakers in six locations.
Several combinations of radio receivers and speaker
systems are offered as optional equipment on this
model. The audio system uses an ignition switched
control of battery current so that the system will only
operate when the ignition switch is in the On or
Accessory positions.
A Compact Disc (CD) changer with a ten disc mag-
azine, remote radio switches with six functions
mounted to the backs of the steering wheel spokes,
and a memory system that automatically stores and
recalls up to twenty radio station presets (ten AM
and ten FM) and the last station listened to for two
drivers are optional factory-installed equipment on
this model. Refer to Electrical, Power Seats for more
information on the memory system.
The audio system includes the following compo-
nents:
²Antenna
²Compact disc changer (available with RBP sales
code radio receivers only)
²Power amplifier (with premium speaker system
only)
²Radio noise suppression components
²Radio receiver
²Remote radio switches
²Speakers
Certain functions and features of the audio system
rely upon resources shared with other electronic
modules in the vehicle over the Programmable Com-
munications Interface (PCI) data bus network. The
PCI data bus network allows the sharing of sensor
information. This helps to reduce wire harness com-
plexity, internal controller hardware, and component
sensor current loads. At the same time, this system
provides increased reliability, enhanced diagnostics,
and allows the addition of many new feature capabil-
ities. For diagnosis of these electronic modules or of
the PCI data bus network, the use of a DRB scan
tool and the proper Diagnostic Procedures manual
are recommended.
The other electronic modules that may affect audio
system operation are as follows:
²Body Control Module (BCM)- (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MOD-
ULES/BODY CONTROL/CENTRAL TIMER MODUL
- DESCRIPTION) for more information.
²Driver Door Module (DDM)(Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MOD-ULES/DRIVER DOOR MODULE - DESCRIPTION)
for more information.
²Passenger Door Module (PDM)(Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MOD-
ULES/DRIVER DOOR MODULE - DESCRIPTION)
for more information.
The audio system includes the following major
components, which are described in further detail
elsewhere in this service information:
²Amplifier- On models equipped with the
optional premium speaker system, an audio power
amplifier is located on the rear floor panel under-
neath the right end of the rear seat cushion in the
passenger compartment.
²Antenna Body and Cable- The most visible
component of the antenna body and cable are the
antenna adapter and the antenna cap nut, which are
located on the top of the right front fender panel of
the vehicle, near the right end of the cowl plenum.
²Antenna Mast- The antenna mast is a metal
rod that extends upward from the antenna body and
cable on the top of the right front fender panel of the
vehicle, near the right end of the cowl plenum.
²Radio- The radio for this model is located in
the instrument panel center stack area, inboard of
the instrument cluster and above the heater and air
conditioner controls.
²Radio Noise Suppression Ground Strap-A
radio noise suppression ground strap is installed
between the rear of the engine cylinder head(s) and
the dash panel sheet metal in the engine compart-
ment.
²Speaker- The standard speaker system
includes six speakers in six locations, while the pre-
mium speaker system includes an amplifier for the
six speakers in six locations.
Hard wired circuitry connects the audio system
components to each other through the electrical sys-
tem of the vehicle. These hard wired circuits are
integral to several wire harnesses, which are routed
throughout the vehicle and retained by many differ-
ent methods. These circuits may be connected to each
other, to the vehicle electrical system and to the
audio system components through the use of a com-
bination of soldered splices, splice block connectors
and many different types of wire harness terminal
connectors and insulators. Refer to the appropriate
wiring information in this service manual for com-
plete standard and premium audio system circuit
diagrams. The wiring information includes 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.
