ELECTRICAL
DESCRIPTION
Three wheel speed sensors are used. The front sen-
sors are mounted to the steering knuckles. The rear
sensor is mounted at the top of the rear axle differ-
ential carrier. Tone wheels are mounted to the out-
board ends of the front axle shafts. The gear type
tone wheel serves as the trigger mechanism for each
sensor.
OPERATION
The sensors convert wheel speed into a small digi-
tal signal. The CAB sends 12 volts to the sensors.
The sensor has an internal magneto resistance
bridge that alters the voltage and amperage of the
signal circuit. This voltage and amperage is changed
by magnetic induction when the toothed tone wheel
passes the wheel speed sensor. This digital signal is
sent to the CAB. The CAB measures the voltage and
amperage of the digital signal for each wheel.

flip-up glass ajar switch, the hood ajar switch (in
required markets only), and the Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) module to control the features of the
optional Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS).
Hard wired circuitry connects the BCM to the elec-
trical 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
BCM 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.
Many of the electronic features in the vehicle con-
trolled or supported by the BCM are programmable
using a customer programming procedure or the
DRBIIItscan tool. In addition, the BCM software is
Flash compatible, which means it can be repro-
grammed using Flash reprogramming procedures.
However, if any of the BCM hardware components is
damaged or faulty, the entire BCM unit must be
replaced.
OPERATION
The microprocessor-based Body Control Module
(BCM) monitors many hard wired switch and sensor
inputs as well as those resources it shares with other
electronic modules in the vehicle through its commu-
nication over the Programmable Communications
Interface (PCI) data bus network. The internal pro-
gramming and all of these inputs allow the BCM
microprocessor to determine the tasks it needs to
perform and their priorities, as well as both the stan-
dard and optional features that it should provide.
The BCM programming then performs those tasks
and provides those features through both PCI data
bus communication with other electronic modules
and through hard wired outputs through a number of
driver circuits, relays, and actuators. These outputs
allow the BCM the ability to control numerous acces-
sory systems in the vehicle.
The BCM operates on battery current received
through a fuse in the Junction Block (JB) on a non-
switched fused B(+) circuit, through another fuse in
the JB on a fused ignition switch output (run-start)
circuit, and through a third fuse in the JB on a fused
ignition switch output (run-acc) circuit. This arrange-
ment allows the BCM to provide some features
regardless of the ignition switch position, while other
features will operate only with the ignition switch inthe On, Start, and/or Accessory positions. All of the
battery current circuits are connected to the BCM
through the JB/BCM connector. The BCM receives
ground through five separate circuits. Three of these
circuits are connected to the BCM through a connec-
tor and take out of the instrument panel wire har-
ness on three separate ground circuits, while the
other two circuits are connected to the BCM through
the JB/BCM connector. All of these circuits are
grounded through a splice block located in the instru-
ment panel wire harness with an eyelet terminal con-
nector that is secured by a nut to a ground stud on
the driver side instrument panel end bracket near
the JB.
The BCM monitors its own internal circuitry as
well as many of its input and output circuits, and
will store a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) in elec-
tronic memory for any failure it detects. These DTCs
can be retrieved and diagnosed using a DRBIIItscan
tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

GENERATOR
DESCRIPTION
The generator is belt-driven by the engine using a
serpentine type drive belt. It is serviced only as a
complete assembly. If the generator fails for any rea-
son, the entire assembly must be replaced.
OPERATION
As the energized rotor begins to rotate within the
generator, the spinning magnetic field induces a cur-
rent into the windings of the stator coil. Once the
generator begins producing sufficient current, it also
provides the current needed to energize the rotor.
The stator winding connections deliver the induced
AC current to 3 positive and 3 negative diodes for
rectification. From the diodes, rectified DC current is
delivered to the vehicle electrical system through the
generator battery terminal.
Although the generators appear the same exter-
nally, different generators with different output rat-
ings are used on this vehicle. Be certain that the
replacement generator has the same output rating
and part number as the original unit. Refer to Spec-
ifications and see Generator Ratings for amperage
ratings and part numbers.
Noise emitting from the generator may be caused
by: worn, loose or defective bearings; a loose or defec-
tive drive pulley; incorrect, worn, damaged or misad-
justed fan drive belt; loose mounting bolts; a
misaligned drive pulley or a defective stator or diode.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - REAR WINDOW
DEFOGGER SYSTEM
For circuit descriptions and diagrams, (Refer to
Appropriate Wiring Information). The operation of
the electrically heated rear window defogger system
can be confirmed in one of the following manners:
²Turn the ignition switch to the run position.
²Set the defogger switch in the run position. The
rear window defogger operation can be checked by
feeling the rear window or outside rear view mirror
glass. A distinct difference in temperature between
the grid lines and the adjacent clear glass or the mir-
ror glass can be detected within three to four min-
utes of operation.
²Using a 12-volt DC voltmeter, contact the rear
glass heating grid terminal B (right side) with the
negative lead, and terminal A (left side) with the pos-
itive lead (Fig. 1). The voltmeter should read battery
voltage.
The above checks will confirm system operation.
Illumination of the defogger switch indicator lamp
means that there is electrical current available at the
output of the defogger relay, but does not confirmthat the electrical current is reaching the rear glass
heating grid lines.
If the defogger system does not operate, the prob-
lem should be isolated in the following manner:
(1) Confirm that the ignition switch is in the run
position.
(2) Ensure that the rear glass heating grid feed
and ground wires are connected to the glass. Confirm
that the ground wire has continuity to ground.
(3) Check the fuses in the Power Distribution Cen-
ter (PDC) and in the junction block. The fuses must
be tight in their receptacles and all electrical connec-
tions must be secure.
When the above steps have been completed and the
rear glass or outside rear view mirror heating grid is
still inoperative, one or more of the following is
faulty:
²Defogger switch
²Defogger relay
²HVAC control head circuitry
²Rear window grid lines (all grid lines would
have to be broken or one of the feed wires discon-
nected for the entire system to be inoperative)
²Outside rear view mirror heating grid.
If setting the defogger switch to the On position
produces a severe voltmeter deflection, check for a
short circuit between the defogger relay output and
the rear glass or outside rear view mirror heating
grids.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - REAR GLASS
HEATING GRID REPAIR
Repair of the rear glass heating grid lines, bus
bars, terminals or pigtail wires can be accomplished
using a Mopar Rear Window Defogger Repair Kit
(Part Number 4267922) or equivalent.

REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER
SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The rear window defogger switch is installed in the
instrument panel HVAC contol head assembly. The
momentary-type switch provides a hard-wired ground
signal to the HVAC control head each time it is
depressed. The instrument cluster rear window
defogger timer and logic circuitry responds by ener-
gizing or de-energizing the rear window defogger
relay.
OPERATION
Energizing the rear window defogger relay pro-
vides electrical current to the rear window defogger
grid and, if the vehicle is so equipped, the outside
rear view mirror heating grids. An amber indicator
lamp in the defogger switch, which lights to indicate
when the defogger system is turned On, is also pow-
ered by the defogger relay output.
The defogger switch illumination lamp and indica-
tor lamp bulbs are serviceable. The defogger switch
cannot be repaired and, if faulty or damaged the
entire HVAC control head assembly must be
replaced.

The heated seat module monitors inputs from the
heated seat sensors and the heated seat switches. In
response to these inputs the heated seat module uses
its internal programming to control outputs to the
heated seat elements in both front seats and to con-
trol the heated seat LED indicator lamps located in
both of the heated seat switches. The heated seat
module is also programmed to provide self-diagnostic
capability. When the module detects certain failures
within the heated seat system, it will provide a
visual indication of the failure by flashing the indica-
tor lamps in the affected heated seat switch. The
heated seat module will automatically turn off the
heated seat elements if it detects a short or open in
the heated seat element circuit or a heated seat sen-
sor value that is out of range.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - HEATED SEAT
SYSTEM
HEATED SEAT SYSTEM SELF-DIAGNOSIS
The heated seat system is capable of performing
some self-diagnostics. The following table depicts the
various monitored failures which will be reported to
the vehicle operator or technician by flashing the
individual heated seat switch Light Emitting Diode
(LED) indicator lamps. Refer to the Heated Seat Sys-
tem Self-Diagnosis table for failure identification.
The driver side heated seat switch indicator lamps
will flash if a failure occurs in the driver side heated
seat, and the passenger side heated seat switch indi-
cator lamps will flash for a passenger side heated
seat failure. If a monitored heated seat system fail-
ure occurs, the switch indicator lamps will flash at a
pulse rate of about one-half second on, followed by
about one-half second off for a duration of about one
minute after the switch for the faulty heated seat is
depressed in either the Low or High direction. This
process will repeat every time the faulty heated seat
switch is actuated until the problem has been cor-
rected.

switch does not operate and the heated seat elements
do heat, refer toDiagnosis and Testing the
Heated Seat Switchin this section for the location
of heated seat switch diagnosis and testing proce-
dures.
²If both indicator lamps for a heated seat switch
operate, but the heated seat elements do not heat,
refer toDiagnosis and Testing the Heated Seat
Modulein Electronic Control Modules for the loca-
tion of heated seat module diagnosis and testing pro-
cedures.
²If an indicator lamp on either heated seat switch
remains illuminated after the heated seat has been
turned Off, refer toDiagnosis and Testing the
Heated Seat Modulein Electronic Control Modules
for the location of heated seat module diagnosis and
testing procedures. Also refer to the Body Diagnostic
Manual for additional diagnosis and testing proce-
dures.
DRIVER SEAT HEATER
SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The heated seat switches are located on the out-
board cushion side shield of the driver and passenger
front seats (Fig. 1). The two, three-position rocker
type switches provide a resistor multiplexed signal to
the Heated Seat Module through separate hard wired
circuits. Each switch has an Off, Low and High set-
ting. Each switch contains two light emitting diodes
(LED), one for each High and Low setting to let the
occupant know that the seat heater system is on.
The heated seat switches and their LED's cannot
be repaired. If either switch is faulty or damaged the
entire switch must be replaced.

PASSENGER SEAT HEATER
SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The heated seat switches are located on the out-
board cushion side shield of the driver and passenger
front seats (Fig. 3). The two, three-position rocker
type switches provide a resistor multiplexed signal to
the Heated Seat Module through separate hard wired
circuits. Each switch has an Off, Low and High set-
ting. Each switch contains two light emitting diodes
(LED), one for each High and Low setting to let the
occupant know that the seat heater system is on.
The heated seat switches and their LED's cannot
be repaired. If either switch is faulty or damaged the
entire switch must be replaced.
OPERATION
There are three positions that can be selected with
each of the heated seat switches: Off, Low, and High.
When the front of the switch rocker is fullydepressed, the High position is selected and the high
position LED indicator illuminates. When the rear of
the switch rocker is fully depressed, the Low position
is selected and the low position LED indicator illumi-
nates. When the switch rocker is depressed a second
time in either direction, Off is selected and both LED
indicators are extinguished.
Both switches provide separate resistor multi-
plexed hard wire inputs to the Heated Seat Module
to indicate the selected switch position. The heated
seat module monitors the switch inputs and responds
to the heated seat switch status messages by control-
ling the output to the seat heater elements of the
selected seat. The Low heat position set point is
about 36É C (97É F), and the High heat position set
point is about 41É C (105É F).
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - HEATED SEAT

perform its many functions. The EMIC module incor-
porates a blue-green digital Vacuum Fluorescent Dis-
play (VFD) for displaying odometer and trip
odometer information, as well as several warning
messages and certain diagnostic information. In addi-
tion to instrumentation and indicators, the EMIC has
the hardware and software needed to provide the fol-
lowing features:
²Chime Warning Service- A chime tone gener-
ator on the EMIC electronic circuit board provides
audible alerts to the vehicle operator and eliminates
the need for a separate chime module. (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/CHIME WARNING SYSTEM -
DESCRIPTION).
²Panel Lamps Dimming Service- The EMIC
provides a hard wired 12-volt Pulse-Width Modulated
(PWM) output that synchronizes the dimming level
of the radio display, gear selector indicator, heater-air
conditioner control, and all other dimmable lighting
on the panel lamps dimmer circuit with that of the
cluster illumination lamps and VFD.
The EMIC houses four analog gauges and has pro-
visions for up to twenty-four indicators (Fig. 2). The
EMIC includes the following analog gauges:
²Coolant Temperature Gauge
²Fuel Gauge
²Speedometer
²Tachometer
Some of the EMIC indicators are automatically
configured when the EMIC is connected to the vehi-
cle electrical system for compatibility with certain
optional equipment or equipment required for regula-
tory purposes in certain markets. While each EMIC
may have provisions for indicators to support every
available option, the configurable indicators will not
be functional in a vehicle that does not have the
equipment that an indicator supports. The EMIC
includes provisions for the following indicators (Fig.

Each indicator in the EMIC is illuminated by a
dedicated Light Emitting Diode (LED) that is sol-
dered onto the EMIC electronic circuit board. The
LEDs are not available for service replacement and,
if damaged or faulty, the entire EMIC must be
replaced. Cluster illumination is accomplished by
dimmable incandescent back lighting, which illumi-
nates the gauges for visibility when the exterior
lighting is turned on. Each of the incandescent bulbs
is secured by an integral bulb holder to the electronic
circuit board from the back of the cluster housing.
The incandescent bulb/bulb holder units are available
for service replacement.
Hard wired circuitry connects the EMIC to the
electrical system of the vehicle. These hard wired cir-
cuits are integral to several wire harnesses, which
are routed throughout the vehicle and retained by
many different methods. These circuits may be con-
nected to each other, to the vehicle electrical system
and to the EMIC through the use of a combination of
soldered splices, splice block connectors, and many
different types of wire harness terminal connectors
and insulators. Refer to the appropriate wiring infor-
mation. The wiring information includes wiring dia-
grams, proper wire and connector repair procedures,
further details on wire harness routing and reten-
tion, as well as pin-out and location views for the
various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.
The EMIC modules for this model are serviced only
as complete units. The EMIC module cannot be
adjusted or repaired. If a gauge, an LED indicator,
the VFD, the electronic circuit board, the circuit
board hardware, the cluster overlay, or the EMIC
housing are damaged or faulty, the entire EMIC mod-
ule must be replaced. The cluster lens, hood and
mask unit and the individual incandescent lamp
bulbs with holders are available for service replace-
ment.

the back of the quarter panel on each side of the tail-
gate at the rear of the vehicle. In certain markets
where required, a repeater lamp unit mounted to
each front fender just behind the front wheel opening
is illuminated instead of the front side marker lamp
in each turn signal lamp circuit.
Other components of the exterior lighting system
for this model include:
²Combination Flasher- An electronic combina-
tion flasher is integral to the hazard warning switch
in the center of the instrument panel.
²Backup Lamp Switch- Vehicles equipped with
a manual transmission have a plunger-type backup
lamp switch located on the transmission housing. ATransmission Range Sensor (TRS) integral to the
solenoid pack on the valve body of the optional elec-
tronic automatic transmission performs the backup
lamp switch function on models that are so equipped.
²Brake Lamp Switch- A plunger-type brake
lamp switch is located on the steering column sup-
port bracket under the instrument panel and actu-
ated by the brake pedal arm.
²Body Control Module- The Body Control
Module (BCM) is located on the Junction Block (JB)
under the driver side outboard end of the instrument
panel. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC
CONTROL MODULES/BODY CONTROL MODULE
- DESCRIPTION).
²Daytime Running Lamp Relay- Vehicles
manufactured for sale in Canada use a solid state
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) relay installed in the
Junction Block (JB) instead of the conventional high
beam relay.
²Front Fog Lamp Relay- Vehicles equipped
with the optional front fog lamps have a front fog
lamp relay located in the Junction Block (JB).
²Hazard Switch- The hazard switch is located
near the center of the instrument panel and includes
the integral electronic combination flasher circuitry
for the hazard warning system and the turn signal
system.
²Headlamp Leveling Motor- A headlamp lev-
eling actuator motor is located on the back of each
headlamp housing of vehicles manufactured for cer-
tain markets where this equipment is required.
²Headlamp Leveling Switch- A thumbwheel
actuated headlamp leveling switch is mounted in the
driver side inboard instrument panel trim bezel of
vehicles manufactured for certain markets where this
equipment is required.
²High Beam Relay- A high beam relay is
located in the Junction Block (JB) of all vehicles
except those that are manufactured for sale in Can-
ada. Canadian vehicles have a solid state Daytime
Running Lamps (DRL) relay in the JB instead of the
high beam relay.
²Low Beam Relay- A low beam relay is located
in the Junction Block (JB) of all vehicles.
²Multi-Function Switch- The multi-function
switch is located on the top of the steering column,
just below the steering wheel. The multi-function
switch includes a left (lighting) control stalk and a
right (wiper) control stalk. The left control stalk is
dedicated to providing almost all of the driver con-

BACKUP LAMP SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with a manual transmission
have a normally open, spring-loaded plunger type
back-up lamp switch (Fig. 2). The backup lamp
switch is located in a threaded hole on the side of the
manual transmission housing, beneath the floor
panel of the vehicle. The backup lamp switch has a
threaded body and a hex formation near the plunger
end of the switch, and an integral connector recepta-
cle at the opposite end of the switch. When installed,
only the connector receptacle and the hex formation
are visible on the outside of the transmission hous-
ing. Vehicles with an optional electronic automatic
transmission have a Transmission Range Sensor
(TRS) that is used to perform several functions,
including that of the backup lamp switch. The TRS is
described in further detail elsewhere in this service
information. The backup lamp switch cannot be
adjusted or repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the
entire switch unit must be replaced.
OPERATION
The backup lamp switch controls the flow of bat-
tery current to the backup lamp bulbs at the back of
the vehicle through an output on the back-up lamp
feed circuit. The switch plunger is mechanically actu-
ated by the gearshift mechanism within the trans-
mission, which will depress the switch plunger and
close the switch contacts whenever the reverse gear
has been selected. The switch receives battery cur-
rent through a fuse in the Junction Block (JB) on a
fused ignition switch output (run) circuit whenever
the ignition switch is in the On position. A take out
of the engine wire harness connects the backup lamp
switch to the vehicle electrical system. The backup
lamp switch and circuits can be tested using conven-
tional diagnostic tools and methods.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - BACKUP LAMP
SWITCH
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Raise and support the vehicle.
(3) Locate and disconnect the engine wire harness
connector for the backup lamp switch from the
switch connector receptacle.
(4) Check for continuity between the two terminal
pins in the backup lamp switch connector receptacle.
(a) With the gear selector lever in the Reverse
position, there should be continuity.
(b) With the gear selector lever in any position
other than Reverse, there should be no continuity.
