warning lights JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 2002 WJ / 2.G Workshop Manual

The chime warning system provides an audible
indication to the vehicle operator under the following
conditions:
²Fasten Seat Belt Warning- The Body Control
Module (BCM) chime tone generator will generate
repetitive chimes to announce that an input from the
seat belt switch indicates the driver side front seat
belt is not fastened. Unless the driver side front seat
belt is fastened, the chimes will continue to sound for
a duration of about six seconds each time the ignition
switch is turned to the On position or until the driver
side front seat belt is fastened.
²Head/Park Lights-On Warning- The BCM
chime tone generator will generate repetitive chimes
at a fast rate to announce that a Programmable
Communications Interface (PCI) data bus driver door
ajar message, along with hard wired inputs from the
headlamp switch indicate that the exterior lamps are
turned On with the driver side front door opened.
The chime will continue to sound until the exterior
lamps are turned Off, the driver side front door is
closed, or the ignition switch is turned to the On
position.
²Key-In-Ignition Warning- The BCM chime
tone generator will generate repetitive chimes at a
fast rate to announce that a PCI data bus driver door
ajar message received from the Driver Door Module
(DDM), along with hard wired inputs from the key-
in-ignition warning switch indicate that the key is in
the ignition cylinder with the driver side front door
opened and the ignition switch in the Off position.
The chime will continue to sound until the key is
removed from the ignition lock cylinder, the driver
side front door is closed, or the ignition switch is
turned to the On position.
²Overspeed Warning- The BCM chime tone
generator will generate repetitive chimes at a slowrate to announce that a PCI data bus vehicle speed
message received from the Powertrain Control Mod-
ule (PCM) indicates that the vehicle speed is above
120 kilometers-per-hour (75 miles-per-hour). The
chimes will continue to sound until the vehicle speed
is below 120 kilometers-per-hour (75 miles-per-hour).
This feature is only enabled on a BCM that has been
programmed with a Middle East Gulf Coast Country
(GCC) country code.
²Tactile Beep Support- The BCM chime tone
generator will generate a single beep each time a
PCI data bus tactile beep request message is received
from the Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC) or the Sentry Key Immobilizer Module
(SKIM). This beep provides an audible confirmation
that an EVIC button was completely depressed, or
that the optional Sentry Key Immobilizer System
(SKIS) is in the ªCustomer Learnº mode.
²Warning Beep Support- The BCM chime tone
generator will generate a short series of beeps each
time a PCI data bus warning beep request message
is received from the EVIC or the Electro-Mechanical
Instrument Cluster (EMIC). These beeps provide an
audible alert to the vehicle operator, of certain visual
warning indications displayed by the EVIC and/or
the EMIC.
The BCM provides chime service for all available
features in the chime warning system. The BCM
relies upon message inputs received from other mod-
ules over the PCI data bus network to provide chime
service for all of the remaining chime warning sys-
tem features.
The internal programming of the BCM determines
the priority of each chime tone request input that is
received, as well as the rate and duration of each
chime tone that is to be generated.

OPERATION
When the rear window defogger switch push but-
ton is depressed, it momentarily closes the rear win-
dow defogger switch sense circuit for the BCM to
ground. The BCM monitors the rear window defogger
switch sense circuit. Each time the BCM rear win-
dow defogger timer and logic circuitry sees another
input from the switch, it toggles a control output to
the rear window defogger relay. Energizing the rear
window defogger relay provides electrical current to
the rear window defogger grid and to the LED indi-
cator in the switch, which lights to indicate when the
defogger system is turned on. A dedicated fuse in the
junction block protects the rear window defogger
relay output circuit to the LED indicator.

DESCRIPTION - TURN SIGNAL & HAZARD
WARNING SYSTEM
The turn signal and hazard warning system
includes the following major components, which are
described in further detail elsewhere in this service
information:
²Combination Flasher
²Front Side Marker Lamps
²Hazard Warning Switch
²Turn Signal Cancel Cam
²Turn Signal Indicators
²Turn Signal Lamps
²Turn Signal Switch
The turn signal and hazard warning systems also
provide the following features:
²Flash Lights with Lock- This customer pro-
grammable feature flashes the hazard warning lamps
to provide optical verification that the Remote Key-
less Entry (RKE) System has received a valid Lock or
Unlock request from an RKE transmitter. (Refer to 8
- ELECTRICAL/POWER LOCKS - DESCRIPTION -
REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM).
²Panic Mode Optical Alert- This feature
flashes the hazard warning lamps to provide an opti-
cal alert when the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) Sys-
tem panic mode is activated by depressing the Panic
button on an RKE transmitter. (Refer to 8 - ELEC-
TRICAL/POWER LOCKS - DESCRIPTION -
REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM).
²Turn Signal On Warning- This feature pro-
vides the vehicle operator with both visual and audi-
ble reminders when a turn signal has been left
turned on for an extended period. (Refer to 8 - ELEC-TRICAL/OVERHEAD CONSOLE/ELECTRONIC
VEHICLE INFO CENTER - DESCRIPTION).
²Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS) Opti-
cal Alarm- This feature flashes the hazard warning
lamps to provide an optical alarm when the VTSS is
armed and activated by an unauthorized entry into
the vehicle. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/VEHICLE
THEFT SECURITY - DESCRIPTION - VEHICLE
THEFT SECURITY SYSTEM).
OPERATION - TURN SIGNAL & HAZARD
WARNING SYSTEM
The turn signal system operates on battery current
received on a fused ignition switch output (run) cir-
cuit so that the turn signals will only operate with
the ignition switch in the On position. The hazard
warning system operates on non-switched battery
current received on a fused B(+) circuit so that the
hazard warning remains operational regardless of
the ignition switch position. When the turn signal
system is activated, the circuitry of the turn signal
switch and the combination flasher will cause the
selected (right or left) turn signal indicator, front
park/turn signal lamp, front side marker lamp and
rear tail/stop/turn signal lamp to flash on and off.
When the hazard warning system is activated, the
circuitry of the hazard warning switch and the com-
bination flasher will cause both the right side and
the left side turn signal indicators, front park/turn
signal lamps, front side marker lamps and rear tail/
stop/turn signal lamps to flash on and off.
The Body Control Module (BCM) can also activate
the hazard warning system lamps by energizing the
combination flasher through a single hard wired con-
nection to the hazard warning switch sense circuit.
The BCM grounds the circuit to energize and de-en-

(2) Position the CHMSL on liftgate.
(3) Install the screws attaching the CHMSL to the
liftgate.
COMBINATION FLASHER
DESCRIPTION
The combination flasher is located in the Junction
Block (JB) (Fig. 6). The JB is located underneath the
driver side of the instrument panel outboard of the
steering column. The combination flasher is a smart
relay that functions as both the turn signal system
and the hazard warning system flasher. The combi-
nation flasher contains active electronic Integrated
Circuitry (IC) elements. This flasher is designed to
handle the current flow requirements of the factory-
installed lighting. If supplemental lighting is added
to the turn signal lamp circuits, such as when towing
a trailer with lights, the combination flasher will
automatically try to compensate to keep the flash
rate the same.The combination flasher has nine blade-type termi-
nals that connect it to the vehicle electrical system.
Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
Because of the active electronic elements within
the combination flasher, it cannot be tested with con-
ventional automotive electrical test equipment. If the
combination flasher is believed to be faulty, test the
turn signal system and hazard warning system cir-
cuits.(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/LAMPS/LIGHTING
- EXTERIOR - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - TURN
SIGNAL & HAZARD WARNING SYSTEM). The com-
bination flasher cannot be repaired or adjusted and,
if faulty or damaged, it must be replaced.
OPERATION
The combination flasher controls the following
inputs and outputs: B(+), fused ignition switch out-
put, left turn switch sense, right turn switch sense,
hazard switch sense, left front turn signal circuit,
right front turn signal circuit, left rear turn signal
circuit and right rear turn signal circuit. Constant
battery voltage is supplied to the flasher so that it
can perform the hazard warning function, and igni-
tion switched battery voltage is supplied for the turn
signal function. However, when the flasher is idle no
current is drawn through the module. The unit does
not become active until it is provided a signal ground
from the turn signal switch, hazard warning switch
or the Body Control Module (BCM).
The IC within the combination flasher (Fig. 7) con-
tains the logic that controls the flasher operation and
the flash rate. When a bulb is burnt out, or when a
circuit for a lamp is open, the turn signal flash rate
will increase. However, an open lamp circuit or burnt
out bulb does not change the hazard warning flash
rate.

Turn signal inputs that actuate the combination
flasher are low current grounds, each drawing a
maximum of 300 milliamperes.The hazard warning
signal input is a low current ground drawing a max-
imum of 600 milliamperes.

WJMESSAGE SYSTEMS 8M - 3
OVERHEAD CONSOLE (Continued)

The RKE system includes two transmitters when
the vehicle is shipped from the factory, but the sys-
tem can retain the vehicle access codes of up to four
transmitters. The transmitter codes are retained in
the RKE receiver memory, even if the battery is dis-
connected. If an RKE transmitter is faulty or lost,
new transmitter vehicle access codes can be pro-
grammed into the system using a DRBIIItscan tool
and the appropriate diagnostic information.
This vehicle also offers several customer program-
mable features, which allows the selection of several
optional electronic features to suit individual prefer-
ences. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/OVERHEAD CON-
SOLE/ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFO CENTER -
DESCRIPTION). Customer programmable feature
options affecting the RKE system include:
²Remote Unlock- Allows the option of having
only the driver side front door unlock when the RKE
transmitter Unlock button is depressed the first time
and the remaining doors and the liftgate unlock
when the button is depressed a second time, or hav-
ing all doors and the liftgate unlock upon the first
depression of the RKE transmitter Unlock button.
²Remote Linked to Memory- If the vehicle is
equipped with the Memory System, this feature
allows the option of having the RKE transmitter
Unlock button activate the recall of the stored set-
tings, or having the recall function assigned solely to
the memory switch on the driver side front door trim
panel.
²Sound Horn on Lock- Allows the option of
having the horn sound a short chirp as an audible
verification that the doors have locked, or having no
audible verification.
²Flash Lights with Lock- Allows the option of
having the lights flash as an optical verification that
the doors have locked, or having no optical verifica-
tion.
This group covers the following components of the
RKE system:
²RKE Receiver
²RKE Transmitter
Certain functions and features of the RKE 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 DRBIIItscan
tool and the appropriate diagnostic information are
required.The other electronic modules that may affect RKE
system operation are as follows:
²Body Control Module (BCM)- (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MOD-
ULES/BODY CONTROL/CENTRAL TIMER MOD-
ULE - DESCRIPTION).
²Driver Door Module (DDM)- (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MOD-
ULES/DOOR MODULE - DESCRIPTION).
²Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC)- (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/OVERHEAD
CONSOLE/ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFO CENTER

²Passenger Door Module (PDM)- (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MOD-
ULES/DOOR MODULE - DESCRIPTION).
²Powertrain Control Module (PCM)- (Refer
to 8 - ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL
MODULES/POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE -
DESCRIPTION).
Hard wired circuitry connects the RKE system
components via the PDM to the electrical system of
the vehicle. These hard wired circuits are integral to
several wire harnesses, which are routed throughout
the vehicle and retained by many different methods.
These circuits may be connected to each other, to the
vehicle electrical system and to the RKE system com-
ponents through the use of a combination of soldered
splices, splice block connectors, and many different
types of wire harness terminal connectors and insu-
lators. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
The wiring information includes wiring diagrams,
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
harness connectors, splices and grounds.
COMBINATION FLASHER
The combination flasher is a smart relay that func-
tions as both the turn signal system and the hazard
warning system flasher. The combination flasher con-
tains active electronic Integrated Circuitry (IC) ele-
ments. This flasher can be energized by the BCM to
flash all of the park/turn signal/front side marker
lamps as an optical alert for the RKE panic function
and, if the Flash Lights with Lock programmable fea-
ture is enabled, as an optical verification for the RKE
lock event. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/LAMPS/
LIGHTING - EXTERIOR/COMBINATION FLASHER

SKIS INDICATOR FAILS TO LIGHT DURING BULB TEST
If the Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) indi-
cator in the instrument cluster fails to illuminate for
about three seconds after the ignition switch is
turned to the On position (bulb test), perform the
instrument cluster actuator test. (Refer to 8 - ELEC-
TRICAL/INSTRUMENT CLUSTER - DIAGNOSIS
AND TESTING - ACTUATOR TEST). If the bulb
fails to operate during the actuator test, replace the
bulb. If the SKIS indicator still fails to light during
the bulb test, a wiring problem resulting in the loss
of battery current or ground to the Sentry Key Immo-
bilizer Module (SKIM) should be suspected, and thefollowing procedure should be used for diagnosis.
Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
NOTE: The following tests may not prove conclu-
sive in the diagnosis of this system. The most reli-
able, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the
Sentry Key Immobilizer System requires the use of
a DRBIIITscan tool. Refer to the appropriate diag-
nostic information.
(1) Check the fused B(+) fuse in the Junction
Block (JB). If OK, go to Step 2. If not OK, repair the
shorted circuit or component and replace the faulty
fuse.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
WATER LEAKS
Water leaks can be caused by poor sealing,
improper body component alignment, body seam
porosity, missing plugs, or blocked drain holes. Cen-
trifugal and gravitational force can cause water to
drip from a location away from the actual leak point,
making leak detection difficult. All body sealing
points should be water tight in normal wet-driving
conditions. Water flowing downward from the front of
the vehicle should not enter the passenger or luggage
compartment. Moving sealing surfaces will not
always seal water tight under all conditions. At
times, side glass or door seals will allow water to
enter the passenger compartment during high pres-
sure washing or hard driving rain (severe) condi-
tions. Overcompensating on door or glass
adjustments to stop a water leak that occurs under
severe conditions can cause premature seal wear and
excessive closing or latching effort. After completing
a repair, water test vehicle to verify leak has stopped
before returning vehicle to use.
VISUAL INSPECTION BEFORE WATER LEAK TESTS
Verify that floor and body plugs are in place, body
drains are clear, and body components are properly
aligned and sealed. If component alignment or seal-
ing is necessary, refer to the appropriate section of
this group for proper procedures.
WATER LEAK TESTS
WARNING: DO NOT USE ELECTRIC SHOP LIGHTS
OR TOOLS IN WATER TEST AREA. PERSONAL
INJURY CAN RESULT.
When the conditions causing a water leak have
been determined, simulate the conditions as closely
as possible.
²If a leak occurs with the vehicle parked in a
steady light rain, flood the leak area with an open-
ended garden hose.
²If a leak occurs while driving at highway speeds
in a steady rain, test the leak area with a reasonable
velocity stream or fan spray of water. Direct the
spray in a direction comparable to actual conditions.
²If a leak occurs when the vehicle is parked on an
incline, hoist the end or side of the vehicle to simu-
late this condition. This method can be used when
the leak occurs when the vehicle accelerates, stops or
turns. If the leak occurs on acceleration, hoist the
front of the vehicle. If the leak occurs when braking,
hoist the back of the vehicle. If the leak occurs on left
turns, hoist the left side of the vehicle. If the leak
occurs on right turns, hoist the right side of the vehi-
cle. For hoisting recommendations refer to Group 0,
Lubrication and Maintenance, General Information
section.
WATER LEAK DETECTION
To detect a water leak point-of-entry, do a water
test and watch for water tracks or droplets forming
on the inside of the vehicle. If necessary, remove inte-
rior trim covers or panels to gain visual access to the
