(2) Touch one ohmmeter test lead to a good clean
ground point on the vehicle fender. Touch the other
test lead to the outer crimp on the antenna coaxial
cable connector under the right end of the instru-
ment panel near the right cowl side inner panel.
Check the ohmmeter reading for continuity.
(3) There should be continuity. The ohmmeter
should register less than one ohm resistance. High or
infinite resistance indicates a loose, corroded, or
damaged connection between the antenna body and
the vehicle body or between the antenna body and
the antenna coaxial cable shield. If not OK, clean the
antenna body to fender mating surfaces and tighten
the antenna cap nut to specifications.
(4) Check the resistance again with an ohmmeter.
If the resistance is still more then one ohm, replace
the faulty antenna body and cable.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - QUARTER GLASS
INTEGRAL ANTENNA - EXPORT
For complete circuit diagrams, refer to the Appro-
priate Wiring Information. To detect breaks in the
integral antenna elements, the following procedure is
required:
(1) Disconnect the antenna module connector from
the antenna.
(2) Using a Ohmmeter, place both leads onto the
connector pins on the integral antenna. If continuity
is present antenna grid is Okay. If continuity is not
present move one lead through the grid in progres-
sion until continuity is detected. A break in the
antenna grid can be repaired using a Mopar Rear
Window Defogger Repair Kit (Part Number 4267922)
or equivalent. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/WINDOW
DEFOGGER/REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER GRID -
STANDARD PROCEDURE)
RADIO
DESCRIPTION
Available factory-installed radio receivers for this
model include an AM/FM/cassette with CD changer
control feature (RBB sales code), an AM/FM/CD/2-
band graphic equalizer with CD changer control fea-
ture (RBK sales code), or an AM/FM/CD/cassette/2-
band graphic equalizer (RBP sales code). All factory-
installed radio receivers can communicate on theProgrammable Communications Interface (PCI) data
bus network through a separate wire harness connec-
tor. All factory-installed receivers are stereo Electron-
ically 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 Power Distribution Center (PDC).
Refer to the fuse layout label on the underside of the
PDC cover for IOD fuse identification and location.
OPERATION
The radio receiver operates on ignition switched
battery current that is available only when the igni-
tion switch is in the On or Accessory positions. The
electronic digital clock function of the radio operates
on fused battery 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, refer to the
owner's manual. For complete circuit diagrams, refer
to the appropriate wiring information. The wiring
information includes wiring diagrams, proper wire
and connector repair procedures, details of wire har-
ness routing and retention, connector pin-out infor-
mation and location views for the various wire
harness connectors, splices and grounds.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - RADIO
Any diagnosis of the Audio system should
begin with the use of the DRB IIItdiagnostic
tool. For information on the use of the DRB
IIIt, refer to the appropriate Diagnostic Service
Manual.

LEFT MULTI-FUNCTION
SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The left multi-function switch, its mounting provi-
sions, and its electrical connections are all concealed
beneath the steering column shrouds, just below the
steering wheel (Fig. 22).
A single connector with eleven terminal pins is
located on the back of the switch housing and con-
nects the switch to the vehicle electrical system. The
left multi-function switch supports the following exte-
rior lighting functions:
²Auto Headlamps
²Front Fog Lamps
²Hazard Warning Control
²Headlamps
²Headlamp Beam Selection
²Headlamp Optical Horn
²Park Lamps
²Rear Fog Lamps
²Turn Signal Control
The left multi-function switch also supports the fol-
lowing interior lighting functions:
²Panel Lamps Dimming
²Interior Lamps Defeat²Interior Lamps On
²Parade Mode
The left multi-function switch cannot be adjusted
or repaired. If any function of the switch is faulty, or
if the switch is damaged, the entire switch unit must
be replaced.
OPERATION
The left multi-function switch uses a combination
of resistor multiplexed and conventionally switched
outputs to control the many functions and features it
provides using a minimal number of hard wired cir-
cuits. The switch is grounded to the chassis beneath
the center floor console, just forward of the Airbag
Control Module (ACM). Following are descriptions of
the how the left multi-function switch operates to
control the many exterior lighting functions and fea-
tures it provides:
²Auto Headlamps- The automatic headlamps
feature is provided by the Body Control Module
(BCM), which monitors an input from a photodiode
sensor located on the top of the instrument panel to
detect ambient light levels whenever the ignition
switch is in the On position. Based upon the multi-
plexed input from the left multi-function switch and
the input of the photodiode sensor, the BCM controls
outputs to the park lamp and headlamp relays to
illuminate or extinguish all exterior lighting.
²Front Fog Lamps- The Body Control Module
(BCM) monitors the left multi-function switch then,
based upon that switched ground input, controls an
output to the front fog lamp relay to illuminate or
extinguish the front fog lamps.

OPERATION - DOOR AJAR SWITCH
The front door ajar switches close a path to ground
for the DDM or the PDM when a front door is
opened, and opens the ground path when a front door
is closed. The rear door ajar switches close a path to
ground for the BCM when a rear door is opened, and
opens the ground path when a rear door is closed.
The DDM, PDM, or BCM read the switch status then
send the proper switch status messages to other
modules over the Programmable Communications
Interface (PCI) data bus network. The door ajar
switch status message is used by the BCM as an
input for Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS) oper-
ation.

OPERATION
The multistage driver airbag is deployed by electri-
cal signals generated by the Airbag Control Module
(ACM) through the driver airbag squib 1 and squib 2
circuits to the two initiators in the airbag inflator. By
using two initiators, the airbag can be deployed at
multiple levels of force. The force level is controlled
by the ACM to suit the monitored impact conditions
by providing one of four delay intervals between the
electrical signals provided to the two initiators. The
longer the delay between these signals, the less force-
fully the airbag will deploy. When the ACM sends the
proper electrical signals to each initiator, the electri-
cal energy generates enough heat to initiate a small
pyrotechnic charge which, in turn ignites chemical
pellets within the inflator. Once ignited, these chem-
ical pellets burn rapidly and produce a large quantity
of nitrogen gas. The inflator is sealed to the back of
the airbag housing and a diffuser in the inflator
directs all of the nitrogen gas into the airbag cush-
ion, causing the cushion to inflate. As the cushion
inflates, the driver airbag trim cover will split at pre-
determined breakout lines, then fold back out of the
way along with the horn switch and tray unit. Fol-
lowing an airbag deployment, the airbag cushion
quickly deflates by venting the nitrogen gas towards
the instrument panel through vent holes within the
fabric used to construct the back (steering wheel
side) panel of the airbag cushion.
Some of the chemicals used to create the nitrogen
gas may be considered hazardous while in their solid
state before they are burned, but they are securely
sealed within the airbag inflator. Typically, both ini-
tiators are used and all potentially hazardous chem-
icals are burned during an airbag deployment event.
However, it is possible for only one initiator to be
used during a deployment due to an airbag system
fault; therefore, it is necessary to always confirm
that both initiators have been used in order to avoid
the improper disposal of potentially live pyrotechnic
or hazardous materials. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
RESTRAINTS - STANDARD PROCEDURE - SER-
VICE AFTER A SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT
DEPLOYMENT). The nitrogen gas that is produced
when the chemicals are burned is harmless. How-
ever, a small amount of residue from the burned
chemicals may cause some temporary discomfort if it
contacts the skin, eyes, or breathing passages. If skin
or eye irritation is noted, rinse the affected area with
plenty of cool, clean water. If breathing passages are
irritated, move to another area where there is plenty
of clean, fresh air to breath. If the irritation is not
alleviated by these actions, contact a physician.
REMOVAL
The following procedure is for replacement of a
faulty or damaged driver airbag. If the airbag is
faulty or damaged, but not deployed, review the rec-
ommended procedures for handling non-deployed
supplemental restraints. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
RESTRAINTS - STANDARD PROCEDURE - HAN-
DLING NON-DEPLOYED SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINTS). If the driver airbag has been
deployed, review the recommended procedures for
service after a supplemental restraint deployment
before removing the airbag from the vehicle. (Refer to
8 - ELECTRICAL/RESTRAINTS - STANDARD PRO-
CEDURE - SERVICE AFTER A SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT DEPLOYMENT).
