Electric control modules JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 2003 WJ / 2.G Workshop Manual

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.

BODY CONTROL MODULE
DESCRIPTION
A Body Control Module (BCM) is concealed below
the driver side end of the instrument panel (Fig. 2).
The BCM utilizes integrated circuitry and informa-
tion carried on the Programmable Communications
Interface (PCI) data bus network along with many
hard wired inputs to monitor many sensor and
switch inputs throughout the vehicle. In response to
those inputs, the internal circuitry and programming
of the BCM allow it to control and integrate many
electronic functions and features of the vehiclethrough both hard wired outputs and the transmis-
sion of electronic message outputs to other electronic
modules in the vehicle over the PCI data bus. The
electronic functions and features that the BCM sup-
ports or controls include the following:
The BCM for this model is serviced only as a com-
plete unit. Many of the electronic features in the
vehicle controlled or supported by the BCM are pro-
grammable using either the Electronic Vehicle Infor-
mation Center (EVIC) user interface, or the DRBIIIt
scan tool. In addition, the BCM software is Flash
compatible, which means it can be reprogrammed
using Flash reprogramming procedures. A BCM can
only be repaired by or replaced through an autho-
rized electronic warranty repair station. Refer to the
latest version of the Warranty Policies and Proce-
dures manual for a current listing of authorized elec-
tronic repair stations.OPERATION
The Body Control Module (BCM) is designed to
control and integrate many of the electronic features
and functions of the vehicle. The microprocessor-
based BCM hardware and software monitors many
hard wired switch and sensor inputs as well as those
resources it shares with other electronic modules in
the vehicle through its communication over the PCI
data bus network. The internal programming of the
BCM microprocessor allows the BCM to determine
the tasks it needs to perform and their priorities. The

inputs to or receive outputs from the BCM must also
be checked. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate
means to diagnose the BCM, the PCI data bus net-
work, and the electronic modules that provide inputs
to or receive outputs from the BCM requires the use
of a DRBIIItscan tool and the appropriate diagnostic
information. The DRBIIItscan tool can provide con-
firmation that the PCI data bus network is func-
tional, that all of the modules are sending and
receiving the proper messages over the PCI data bus,
and that the BCM is receiving the proper hard wired
inputs and responding with the proper hard wired
outputs needed to perform its many functions.

COMMUNICATION
DESCRIPTION
The Programmable Communication Interface (PCI)
data bus system is a single wire multiplex system
used for vehicle communications. Multiplexing is a
system that enables the transmission of several mes-
sages over a single channel or circuit.
Many of the control modules in a vehicle require
information from the same sensing device. Multiplex-
ing reduces wire harness complexity, sensor current
loads and controller hardware because each sensing
device is connected to only one controller, which
reads and distributes the sensor information to the
other controllers over the data bus. Also, because
each controller on the data bus can access the con-
troller sensor inputs to every other controller on the
data bus, more function and feature capabilities are
possible.
A multiplex system allows the information flowing
between controllers to be monitored using a diagnos-
tic scan tool. This system allows a control module to
broadcast message data out onto the bus where all
other control modules can read the messages that are
being sent. When a module reads a message on the
data bus that it requires, it relays that message to
its microprocessor. Each module ignores the mes-
sages on the data bus that it dosen't recognize.
OPERATION
Data exchange between modules is achieved by
serial transmission of encoded data over a single wire
broadcast network. The PCI data bus messages are
carried over the bus in the form of Variable Pulse
Width Modulated (VPWM) signals. The PCI data bus
speed is an average 10.4 Kilo-bits per second (Kbps).
The voltage network used to transmit messages
requires biasing and termination. Each module on
the PCI data bus system provides its own biasing
and termination. Each module (also referred to as a
node) terminates the bus through a terminating
resistor and a terminating capacitor. The Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) is the only dominant node for
the PCI data bus system.
The PCI bus uses low and high voltage levels to
generate signals. The voltage on the buss varies
between zero and seven and one-half volts. The lowand high voltage levels are generated by means of
variable-pulse width modulation to form signals of
varying length.
When a module is transmitting on the bus, it is
reading the bus at the same time to ensure message
integrity.
Each module is capable of transmitting and receiv-
ing data simultaneously.
The PCI data bus can be monitored using the
DRBIIItscan tool. It is possible for the bus to pass
all DRBIIIttests and still be faulty if the voltage
parameters are all within the specified range and
false messages are being sent.
CONTROLLER ANTILOCK
BRAKE
DESCRIPTION
The Controler Antilock Brake (CAB) is mounted to
the Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU) and operates the
ABS system (Fig. 4).
OPERATION
The CAB voltage is supplied by the ignition switch
in the RUN position. The CAB contains dual micro-
processors. A logic block in each microprocessor
receives identical sensor signals. These signals are
processed and compared simultaneously. The CAB
contains a self check program that illuminates the
ABS warning light when a system fault is detected.
Faults are stored in a diagnostic program memory
and are accessible with the DRBIIItscan tool. ABS
faults remain in memory until cleared, or until after
the vehicle is started approximately 50 times. Stored

SENTRY KEY IMMOBILIZER
MODULE
DESCRIPTION
The Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM) is the
primary component of the Sentry Key Immobilizer
System (SKIS) (Fig. 15). The SKIM is located in the
steering column, below the ignition lock cylinder
housing. The SKIM has an integral halo-like antenna
ring that extends from one side.
The SKIM cannot be adjusted or repaired. If faulty
or damaged, the entire SKIM unit must be replaced.
OPERATION
The Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM) con-
tains a Radio Frequency (RF) transceiver and a
microprocessor. The SKIM transmits RF signals to,
and receives RF signals from the Sentry Key tran-

sponder through a tuned antenna ring integral to the
SKIM housing. If this antenna ring is not mounted
properly around the ignition lock cylinder housing,
communication problems between the SKIM and the
transponder may arise. These communication prob-
lems will result in Sentry Key transponder-related
faults. The SKIM also communicates over the Pro-
grammable Communications Interface (PCI) data bus
with the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), the Elec-
troMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC), the Body
Control Module (BCM), and/or the DRBIIItscan tool.
The SKIM retains in memory the ID numbers of
any Sentry Key transponder that is programmed into
it. A maximum of eight transponders can be pro-
grammed into the SKIM. For added system security,
each SKIM is programmed with a unique Secret Key
code. This code is stored in memory, sent over the
PCI data bus to the PCM, and is encoded to the tran-
sponder of every Sentry Key that is programmed into
the SKIM. Another security code, called a PIN, is
used to gain access to the SKIM Secured Access
Mode. The Secured Access Mode is required during
service to perform the SKIS initialization and Sentry
Key transponder programming procedures. The
SKIM also stores the Vehicle Identification Number
(VIN) in its memory, which it learns through a PCI
data bus message from the PCM during SKIS initial-
ization.
In the event that a SKIM replacement is required,
the Secret Key code can be transferred to the new
SKIM from the PCM using the DRBIIItscan tool
and the SKIS replacement procedure. Proper comple-
tion of the SKIS initialization will allow the existing
Sentry Keys to be programmed into the new SKIM so
that new keys will not be required. In the event that
the original Secret Key code cannot be recovered,
SKIM replacement will also require new Sentry
Keys. The DRBIIItscan tool will alert the technician
during the SKIS replacement procedure if new Sen-
try Keys are required.
When the ignition switch is turned to the On posi-
tion, the SKIM transmits an RF signal to the tran-
sponder in the ignition key. The SKIM then waits for
an RF signal response from the transponder. If the
response received identifies the key as valid, the
SKIM sends a valid key message to the PCM over
the PCI data bus. If the response received identifies
the key as invalid, or if no response is received from
the key transponder, the SKIM sends an invalid key
message to the PCM. The PCM will enable or disable
engine operation based upon the status of the SKIM
messages. It is important to note that the default
condition in the PCM is an invalid key; therefore, if
no message is received from the SKIM by the PCM,
the engine will be disabled and the vehicle immobi-
lized after two seconds of running.The SKIM also sends indicator light status mes-
sages to the EMIC over the PCI data bus to tell the
EMIC how to operate the SKIS indicator. This indi-
cator light status message tells the EMIC to turn the
indicator on for about three seconds each time the
ignition switch is turned to the On position as a bulb
test. After completion of the bulb test, the SKIM
sends indicator light status messages to the EMIC to
turn the indicator off, turn the indicator on, or to
flash the indicator on and off. If the SKIS indicator
lamp flashes or stays on solid after the bulb test, it
signifies a SKIS fault. If the SKIM detects a system
malfunction and/or the SKIS has become inoperative,
the SKIS indicator will stay on solid. If the SKIM
detects an invalid key or if a key transponder-related
fault exists, the SKIS indicator will flash. If the vehi-
cle is equipped with the Customer Learn transponder
programming feature, the SKIM will also send mes-
sages to the EMIC to flash the SKIS indicator lamp,
and to the BCM to generate a single audible chime
tone whenever the Customer Learn programming
mode is being utilized. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY - STANDARD PRO-
CEDURE - SENTRY KEY TRANSPONDER
PROGRAMMING).
The SKIS performs a self-test each time the igni-
tion switch is turned to the On position, and will
store fault information in the form of Diagnostic
Trouble Codes (DTC's) in SKIM memory if a system
malfunction is detected. The SKIM can be diagnosed,
and any stored DTC's can be retrieved using a
DRBIIItscan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnos-
tic information.

²Pressure Switches
²Transmission Temperature Sensor
²Input Shaft Speed Sensor
²Output Shaft Speed Sensor
²Line Pressure Sensor
Some examples ofindirect inputsto the TCM
are:
²Engine/Body Identification
²Manifold Pressure
²Target Idle
²Torque Reduction Confirmation
²Engine Coolant Temperature
²Ambient/Battery Temperature
²DRBtScan Tool Communication
Based on the information received from these var-
ious inputs, the TCM determines the appropriate
shift schedule and shift points, depending on the
present operating conditions and driver demand.
This is possible through the control of various direct
and indirect outputs.
Some examples of TCMdirect outputsare:
²Transmission Control Relay
²Solenoids
²Torque Reduction Request
Some examples of TCMindirect outputsare:
²Transmission Temperature (to PCM)
²PRNDL Position (to BCM)
In addition to monitoring inputs and controlling
outputs, the TCM has other important responsibili-
ties and functions:
²Storing and maintaining Clutch Volume Indexes
(CVI)
²Storing and selecting appropriate Shift Sched-
ules
²System self-diagnostics
²Diagnostic capabilities (with DRBtscan tool)
NOTE: If the TCM has been replaced, the ªQuick
Learn Procedureº must be performed. (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES/
TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE - STANDARD
PROCEDURE)
BATTERY FEED
A fused, direct battery feed to the TCM is used for
continuous power. This battery voltage is necessary
to retain adaptive learn values in the TCM's RAM
(Random Access Memory). When the battery (B+) is
disconnected, this memory is lost. When the battery
(B+) is restored, this memory loss is detected by the
TCM and a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) is set.
CLUTCH VOLUME INDEXES (CVI)
An important function of the TCM is to monitor
Clutch Volume Indexes (CVI). CVIs represent the vol-
ume of fluid needed to compress a clutch pack.The TCM monitors gear ratio changes by monitor-
ing the Input and Output Speed Sensors. The Input,
or Turbine Speed Sensor sends an electrical signal to
the TCM that represents input shaft rpm. The Out-
put Speed Sensor provides the TCM with output
shaft speed information.
By comparing the two inputs, the TCM can deter-
mine transmission gear position. This is important to
the CVI calculation because the TCM determines
CVIs by monitoring how long it takes for a gear
change to occur (Fig. 18).
Gear ratios can be determined by using the
DRBIIItScan Tool and reading the Input/Output
Speed Sensor values in the ªMonitorsº display. Gear
ratio can be obtained by dividing the Input Speed
Sensor value by the Output Speed Sensor value.
The gear ratio changes as clutches are applied and
released. By monitoring the length of time it takes
for the gear ratio to change following a shift request,
the TCM can determine the volume of fluid used to
apply or release a friction element.
The volume of transmission fluid needed to apply
the friction elements are continuously updated for
adaptive controls. As friction material wears, the vol-
ume of fluid need to apply the element increases.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - IGNITION-OFF
DRAW TEST
The term Ignition-Off Draw (IOD) identifies a nor-
mal condition where power is being drained from the
battery with the ignition switch in the Off position. A
normal vehicle electrical system will draw from five
to thirty-five milliamperes (0.005 to 0.035 ampere)
with the ignition switch in the Off position, and all
non-ignition controlled circuits in proper working
order. Up to thirty-five milliamperes are needed to
enable the memory functions for the Powertrain Con-
trol Module (PCM), digital clock, electronically tuned
radio, and other modules which may vary with the
vehicle equipment.
A vehicle that has not been operated for approxi-
mately twenty days, may discharge the battery to an
inadequate level. When a vehicle will not be used for
twenty days or more (stored), remove the IOD fuse
from the Power Distribution Center (PDC). This will
reduce battery discharging.Excessive IOD can be caused by:
²Electrical items left on.
²Faulty or improperly adjusted switches.
²Faulty or shorted electronic modules and compo-
nents.
²An internally shorted generator.
²Intermittent shorts in the wiring.
If the IOD is over thirty-five milliamperes, the
problem must be found and corrected before replac-
ing a battery. In most cases, the battery can be
charged and returned to service after the excessive
IOD condition has been corrected.
(1) Verify that all electrical accessories are off.
Turn off all lamps, remove the ignition key, and close
all doors. If the vehicle is equipped with an illumi-
nated entry system or an electronically tuned radio,
allow the electronic timer function of these systems
to automatically shut off (time out). This may take
up to three minutes. See the Electronic Module Igni-
tion-Off Draw Table for more information.

(2) Determine that the underhood lamp is operat-
ing properly, then disconnect the lamp wire harness
connector or remove the lamp bulb.
(3) Disconnect the battery negative cable.
(4) Set an electronic digital multi-meter to its
highest amperage scale. Connect the multi-meter
between the disconnected battery negative cable ter-
minal clamp and the battery negative terminal post.
Make sure that the doors remain closed so that the
illuminated entry system is not activated. The multi-
meter amperage reading may remain high for up tothree minutes, or may not give any reading at all
while set in the highest amperage scale, depending
upon the electrical equipment in the vehicle. The
multi-meter leads must be securely clamped to the
battery negative cable terminal clamp and the bat-
tery negative terminal post. If continuity between the
battery negative terminal post and the negative cable
terminal clamp is lost during any part of the IOD
test, the electronic timer function will be activated
and all of the tests will have to be repeated.
