Power seat JEEP LIBERTY 2002 KJ / 1.G Owner's Guide

The individual switches internal to the power seat
switch cannot be repaired. If one switch is damaged
or faulty, the entire power seat switch unit must be
replaced.
OPERATION
The power seat tracks can be adjusted in six differ-
ent ways using the power seat switches. See the own-
er's manual in the vehicle glove box for more
information on the power seat switch functions and
the seat adjusting procedures.
When a power seat switch control knob or knobs
are actuated, a battery feed and a ground path are
applied through the switch contacts to the power seat
track adjuster motor. The selected adjuster motor
operates to move the seat track through its drive
unit in the selected direction until the switch is
released, or until the travel limit of the seat track is
reached. When the switch is moved in the opposite
direction, the battery feed and ground path to the
motor are reversed through the switch contacts. This
causes the adjuster motor to run in the opposite
direction.
No power seat switch should be held applied in any
direction after the seat track has reached its travel
limit. The power seat adjuster motors each contain a
self-resetting circuit breaker to protect them from
overload. However, consecutive or frequent resetting
of the circuit breaker must not be allowed to con-
tinue, or the motor may be damaged.

RIGHT POWER SEAT SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with the power seat option uti-
lize a six-way power seat switch. This six-way power
seat switch features one seat cushion shaped knob,
visible on the outboard seat cushion side shield.
The switch is secured to the back of the seat cush-
ion side shield with two screws. However, the control
knob must be removed before the seat switch can be
removed from the side shield.
The individual switches internal to the power seat
switch cannot be repaired. If one switch is damaged
or faulty, the entire power seat switch unit must be
replaced.
OPERATION
The power seat tracks can be adjusted in six differ-
ent ways using the power seat switches. See the own-
er's manual in the vehicle glove box for more
information on the power seat switch functions and
the seat adjusting procedures.
When a power seat switch control knob or knobs
are actuated, a battery feed and a ground path are
applied through the switch contacts to the power seat
track adjuster motor. The selected adjuster motor
operates to move the seat track through its drive
unit in the selected direction until the switch is
released, or until the travel limit of the seat track is
reached. When the switch is moved in the opposite
direction, the battery feed and ground path to the
motor are reversed through the switch contacts. This
causes the adjuster motor to run in the opposite
direction.
No power seat switch should be held applied in any
direction after the seat track has reached its travel
limit. The power seat adjuster motors each contain a
self-resetting circuit breaker to protect them from
overload. However, consecutive or frequent resetting
of the circuit breaker must not be allowed to con-
tinue, or the motor may be damaged.

RIGHT POWER SEAT SWITCH (Continued)

The ACM housing also has an integral ground lug
with a tapped hole that protrudes from the lower left
rear corner of the unit. This lug provides a case
ground to the ACM when a ground screw is installed
through the left side of the mounting bracket. Two
molded plastic electrical connector receptacles exit
the right side of the ACM housing. The smaller of the
two receptacles contains twelve terminal pins, while
the larger one contains twenty-three. These terminal
pins connect the ACM to the vehicle electrical system
through two dedicated take outs and connectors of
the instrument panel wire harness.
A molded rubber protective cover is installed
loosely over the ACM to protect the unit from con-
densation or coolant leaking from a damaged or
faulty heater-air conditioner unit housing. An inte-
gral flange on the left side of the cover is secured to
the floor panel transmission tunnel with a short
piece of double-faced tape as an assembly aid during
the manufacturing process, but this tape does not
require replacement following service removal.
The impact sensor and safing sensor internal to
the ACM are calibrated for the specific vehicle, and
are only serviced as a unit with the ACM. The ACM
cannot be repaired or adjusted and, if damaged or
faulty, it must be replaced. The ACM cover is avail-
able for separate service replacement.
OPERATION
The microprocessor in the Airbag Control Module
(ACM) contains the front supplemental restraint sys-
tem logic circuits and controls all of the front supple-
mental restraint system components. The ACM uses
On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) and can communicate
with other electronic modules in the vehicle as well
as with the DRBIIItscan tool using the Programma-
ble Communications Interface (PCI) data bus net-
work. This method of communication is used for
control of the airbag indicator in the ElectroMechani-
cal Instrument Cluster (EMIC) and for supplemental
restraint system diagnosis and testing through the
16-way data link connector located on the driver side
lower edge of the instrument panel. (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/AIRBAG
INDICATOR - OPERATION).
The ACM microprocessor continuously monitors all
of the front supplemental restraint system electrical
circuits to determine the system readiness. If the
ACM detects a monitored system fault, it sets an
active and stored Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) and
sends electronic messages to the EMIC over the PCI
data bus to turn on the airbag indicator. An active
fault only remains for the duration of the fault or in
some cases the duration of the current ignition
switch cycle, while a stored fault causes a DTC to be
stored in memory by the ACM. For some DTCs, if afault does not recur for a number of ignition cycles,
the ACM will automatically erase the stored DTC.
For other internal faults, the stored DTC is latched
forever.
On models equipped with optional side curtain air-
bags, the ACM communicates with both the left and
right Side Impact Airbag Control Modules (SIACM)
over the PCI data bus. The SIACM notifies the ACM
when it has detected a monitored system fault and
stored a DTC in memory for its respective side cur-
tain airbag system, and the ACM sets a DTC and
controls the airbag indicator operation accordingly.
The ACM also monitors a Hall effect-type seat belt
switch located in the buckle of each front seat belt to
determine whether the seatbelts are buckled, and
provides an input to the EMIC over the PCI data bus
to control the seatbelt indicator operation based upon
the status of the driver side front seat belt switch.
The ACM receives battery current through two cir-
cuits; a fused ignition switch output (run) circuit
through a fuse in the Junction Block (JB), and a
fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit
through a second fuse in the JB. The ACM has a case
ground through a lug on the bottom of the ACM
housing that is secured with a ground screw to the
left side of the ACM mounting bracket. The ACM
also receives a power ground through a ground cir-
cuit and take out of the instrument panel wire har-
ness. This take out has a single eyelet terminal
connector that is secured by a second ground screw
to the left side of the ACM mounting bracket. These
connections allow the ACM to be operational when-
ever the ignition switch is in the Start or On posi-
tions. The ACM also contains an energy-storage
capacitor. When the ignition switch is in the Start or
On positions, this capacitor is continually being
charged with enough electrical energy to deploy the
airbags for up to one second following a battery dis-
connect or failure. The purpose of the capacitor is to
provide backup supplemental restraint system pro-
tection in case there is a loss of battery current sup-
ply to the ACM during an impact.
Two sensors are contained within the ACM, an
electronic impact sensor and a safing sensor. The
ACM also monitors inputs from two remote front
impact sensors located on the back of the right and
left vertical members of the radiator support near
the front of the vehicle. The electronic impact sensors
are accelerometers that sense the rate of vehicle
deceleration, which provides verification of the direc-
tion and severity of an impact. The safing sensor is
an electromechanical sensor within the ACM that
provides an additional logic input to the ACM micro-
processor. The safing sensor is a normally open
switch that is used to verify the need for an airbag
deployment by detecting impact energy of a lesser

SIDE IMPACT AIRBAG
CONTROL MODULE
DESCRIPTION
On vehicles equipped with the optional side curtain
airbags, a Side Impact Airbag Control Module
(SIACM) and its mounting bracket are secured with
four screws to the sill panel at the base of each B-pil-
lar behind the lower B-pillar trim (Fig. 43). Con-
cealed within a hollow in the center of the die cast
aluminum SIACM housing is the electronic circuitry
of the SIACM which includes a microprocessor and
an electronic impact sensor. The SIACM housing is
secured to a stamped steel mounting bracket, which
is unique for the right or left side application of this
component. The SIACM should never be removed
from its mounting bracket. The housing also receives
a case ground through this mounting bracket when it
is secured to the vehicle. A molded plastic electrical
connector receptacle that exits the top of the SIACMhousing connects the unit to the vehicle electrical
system through a dedicated take out and connector of
the body wire harness. Both the SIACM housing and
its electrical connection are sealed to protect the
internal electronic circuitry and components against
moisture intrusion.
The impact sensor internal to the SIACM is cali-
brated for the specific vehicle, and is only serviced as
a unit with the SIACM. The SIACM cannot be
repaired or adjusted and, if damaged or faulty, it
must be replaced.
OPERATION
The microprocessor in the Side Impact Airbag Con-
trol Module (SIACM) contains the side curtain airbag
system logic circuits and controls all of the features
of only the side curtain airbag mounted on the same
side of the vehicle as the SIACM. The SIACM uses
On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) and can communicate
with other electronic modules in the vehicle as well
as with the DRBIIItscan tool using the Programma-
ble Communications Interface (PCI) data bus net-
work. This method of communication is used by the
SIACM to communicate with the Airbag Control
Module (ACM) and for supplemental restraints sys-
tem diagnosis and testing through the 16-way data
link connector located on the driver side lower edge
of the instrument panel. The ACM communicates
with both the left and right SIACM over the PCI
data bus.
The SIACM microprocessor continuously monitors
all of the side curtain airbag electrical circuits to
determine the system readiness. If the SIACM
detects a monitored system fault, it sets an active
and stored Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) and sends
electronic messages to the ACM over the PCI data
bus. The ACM will respond by sending an electronic
message to the EMIC to turn on the airbag indicator,
and by storing a DTC that will indicate whether the
left or the right SIACM has stored the DTC that ini-
tiated the airbag indicator illumination. An active
fault only remains for the current ignition switch
cycle, while a stored fault causes a DTC to be stored
in memory by the SIACM. For some DTCs, if a fault
does not recur for a number of ignition cycles, the
SIACM will automatically erase the stored DTC. For
other internal faults, the stored DTC is latched for-
ever.
The SIACM receives battery current on a fused
ignition switch output (run-start) circuit through a
fuse in the Junction Block (JB). The SIACM has a
case ground through its mounting bracket and also
receives a power ground through a ground circuit
and take out of the body wire harness. This take out
has a single eyelet terminal connector that is secured
by a ground screw to the front seat front crossmem-

WARNING: ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIR-
BAGS, DISABLE THE SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT
SYSTEM BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY STEERING
WHEEL, STEERING COLUMN, DRIVER AIRBAG,
PASSENGER AIRBAG, SEAT BELT TENSIONER,
SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG, OR INSTRUMENT PANEL
COMPONENT DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. DISCON-
NECT AND ISOLATE THE BATTERY NEGATIVE
(GROUND) CABLE, THEN WAIT TWO MINUTES FOR
THE SYSTEM CAPACITOR TO DISCHARGE BEFORE
PERFORMING FURTHER DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE.
THIS IS THE ONLY SURE WAY TO DISABLE THE
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM. FAILURE TO
TAKE THE PROPER PRECAUTIONS COULD
RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT
AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL INJURY.
(1) Check that the interior lighting switch on the
left (lighting) control stalk of the multi-function
switch is not in the dome lamp disable position. With
all four doors and the tailgate closed, open the rear
flip-up glass. The interior lamps should light. Close
the rear flip-up glass. Note whether the interior
lamps remain lighted. They should turn off after
about thirty seconds. If OK, go to Step 2. If not OK,
go to Step 9.
(2) Check the fused B(+) fuse (Fuse 17 - 15
ampere) in the Junction Block (JB). If OK, go to Step
3. If not OK, repair the shorted circuit or component
as required and replace the faulty fuse.
(3) Check for battery voltage at the fused B(+) fuse
(Fuse 17 - 15 ampere) in the JB. If OK, go to Step 4.
If not OK, repair the open fused B(+) circuit between
the JB and the Power Distribution Center (PDC) as
required.
(4) Check the fused ignition switch output (run-
acc) fuse (Fuse 22 - 10 ampere) in the JB. If OK, go
to Step 5. If not OK, repair the shorted circuit or
component as required and replace the faulty fuse.
(5) Turn the ignition switch to the On position.
Check for battery voltage at the fused ignition switch
output (run-acc) fuse (Fuse 22 - 10 ampere) in the
JB. If OK, turn the ignition switch to the Off position
and go to Step 6. If not OK, repair the open fused
ignition switch output (run-acc) circuit between the
JB and the ignition switch as required.
(6) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable. Disconnect the instrument panel wire harness
connector for the multi-function switch (Connector
C-2) from the switch connector receptacle. Reconnect
the battery negative cable. Turn the ignition switchto the On position. Check for battery voltage at the
fused ignition switch output (run-acc) circuit cavity of
the instrument panel wire harness connector for the
multi-function switch (Connector C-2). If OK, go to
Step 7. If not OK, repair the open fused ignition
switch output (run-acc) circuit between the multi-
function switch and the JB as required.
(7) Turn the ignition switch to the Off position.
Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
Test the multi-function switch. (Refer to 8 - ELEC-
TRICAL/LAMPS/LIGHTING - EXTERIOR/MULTI-
FUNCTION SWITCH - DIAGNOSIS AND
TESTING). If the multi-function switch tests OK,
reconnect the instrument panel wire harness connec-
tors for the multi-function switch to the switch con-
nector receptacles and go to Step 8. If the multi-
function switch does not test OK, replace the faulty
switch.
(8) Remove the tailgate inner trim panel. Discon-
nect the tailgate wire harness connector for the rear
wiper module from the module connector receptacle.
Check for continuity between the ground circuit cav-
ity of the tailgate wire harness connector for the rear
wiper module and a good ground. There should be
continuity. If OK, go to Step 9. If not OK, repair the
open ground circuit to ground (G312) as required.
(9) Check for continuity between the flip-up glass
ajar switch sense circuit cavity of the tailgate wire
harness connector for the rear wiper module and a
good ground. There should be continuity with the
rear flip-up glass open, and no continuity with the
rear flip-up glass closed. If OK, go to Step 10. If not
OK, repair the open flip-up glass ajar circuit between
the rear wiper module and the flip-up glass ajar
switch as required.
(10) Reconnect the battery negative cable. Check
for battery voltage at the fused B(+) circuit cavity of
the tailgate wire harness connector for the rear wiper
module. If OK, go to Step 11. If not OK, repair the
open fused B(+) circuit between the rear wiper mod-
ule and the JB as required.
(11) Turn the ignition switch to the On position.
Turn the control ring on the right (wiper) control
stalk of the multi-function switch to the Delay posi-
tion. Check for battery voltage at the rear wiper
intermittent driver circuit cavity of the tailgate wire
harness connector for the rear wiper module. If OK,
go to Step 12. If not OK, repair the open rear wiper
intermittent driver circuit between the rear wiper
module and the multi-function switch as required.
(12) Turn the control ring on the right (wiper) con-
trol stalk of the multi-function switch to the On posi-
tion. Check for battery voltage at the rear wiper on
driver circuit cavity of the tailgate wire harness con-
nector for the rear wiper module. If OK, replace the
faulty rear wiper module. If not OK, repair the open
