engine light JEEP LIBERTY 2002 KJ / 1.G Repair Manual

²Trailer Tow Adapter- Vehicles equipped with
a factory-installed trailer towing package have an
adapter provided that adapts the factory-installed
heavy duty 7-way trailer tow connector to a conven-
tional 4-way light duty connector.
²Trailer Tow Connector- Vehicles equipped
with a factory-installed trailer towing package have a
heavy duty 7-way trailer tow connector installed in a
bracket on the trailer hitch receiver.
²Trailer Tow Relays- Vehicles equipped with a
factory-installed trailer towing package have a con-
nector bank containing four relays located behind the
right quarter trim panel and over the right rear
wheel housing. The four relays are used to supply
fused ignition switch output (run), brake lamps, right
turn signal, and left turn signal outputs to a trailer
through the trailer tow wiring and connectors.
Hard wired circuitry connects the exterior lighting
system components to the electrical system of the
vehicle. These hard wired circuits are integral to sev-
eral 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 exterior lighting
system components 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.
OPERATION
Following are paragraphs that briefly describe the
operation of each of the major exterior lighting sys-
tems. The hard wired circuits and components of the
exterior lighting systems may be diagnosed and
tested using conventional diagnostic tools and proce-
dures. However, conventional diagnostic methods
may not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the Body
Control Module (BCM), the ElectroMechanical
Instrument Cluster (EMIC), the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM), or the Programmable Communica-
tions Interface (PCI) data bus network. The most
reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose
the BCM, the EMIC, the PCM, and the PCI data bus
network inputs and outputs related to the various
exterior lighting systems requires the use of a
DRBIIItscan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnos-
tic information.BACKUP LAMPS
The backup (or reverse) lamps have a path to
ground at all times through their connection to the
rear lighting wire harness from a take out of the rear
body wire harness with an eyelet terminal connector
that is secured by a ground screw to the base of the
right D-pillar behind the quarter trim panel. The
backup lamps receive battery current from a fused
ignition switch output (run) fuse in the Junction
Block (JB) on the back-up lamp feed circuit only
when the backup lamp switch (manual transmission),
or backup lamp switch circuit of the Transmission
Range Sensor (TRS - electronic automatic transmis-
sion) is closed by the gearshift mechanism within the
transmission.
BRAKE LAMPS
The brake (or stop) lamps have a path to ground at
all times through their connection to the rear light-
ing wire harness from a take out of the rear body
wire harness with an eyelet terminal connector that
is secured by a screw to the base of the right D-pillar
behind the quarter trim panel. The Center High
Mounted Stop Lamp (CHMSL) has a path to ground
at all times through its connection to the rear body
wire harness from a take out of the rear body wire
harness with an eyelet terminal connector that is
secured by a ground screw to the driver side D-pillar
(left side D-pillar for left-hand drive, right side D-pil-
lar for right-hand drive) behind the quarter trim
panel. The brake lamps and CHMSL receive battery
current from a fused B(+) fuse in the Junction Block
(JB) on the brake lamp switch output circuit only
when the brake lamp switch circuit of the brake
lamp switch is closed by the brake pedal arm.
DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS
Vehicles manufactured for sale in Canada illumi-
nate the high beam filament at a reduced intensity
when the engine is running and the exterior lamps
are turned off. This feature is enabled by the Body
Control Module (BCM) and a solid state Daytime
Running Lamps (DRL) relay, which is installed in the
Junction Block (JB) and the high beam relay is omit-
ted. When the BCM monitors an engine speed signal
of greater than 450 RPM and the status of the exte-
rior lighting switch input from the multi-function
switch is Off, the BCM duty cycles the DRL relay to
produce illumination of the headlamp high beam fil-
aments at a reduced intensity. The BCM also pro-
vides normal headlamp high beam operation through
the DRL relay on vehicles so equipped. When the
DRL relay is energized, it provides battery current
from a fused B(+) fuse in the JB to the headlamp
high beam filament through the DRL relay output
circuit.

LAMPS/LIGHTING - EXTERIOR (Continued)

FRONT FOG LAMPS
Vehicles equipped with optional front fog lamps
have a premium Body Control Module (BCM), a front
fog lamp relay installed in the Junction Block (JB),
and a front fog lamp switch integral to the left (light-
ing) control stalk of the multi-function switch. The
front fog lamps have a path to ground at all times
through their connection to the front fascia wire har-
ness from two take outs of the headlamp and dash
wire harness with eyelet terminal connectors that
are secured by ground screws to the left inner fender
shield in the engine compartment. The BCM controls
front fog lamp operation by monitoring the exterior
lighting switch input from the multi-function switch,
then energizing or de-energizing the front fog lamp
relay control coil; and, by sending the appropriate
electronic message to the instrument cluster over the
Programmable Communications Interface (PCI) data
bus to turn the front fog lamp indicator on or off.
When the front fog lamp relay is energized, it pro-
vides battery current from a fused B(+) fuse in the
JB to the front fog lamps through the front fog lamp
relay output circuit. The BCM provides a battery
saver (load shedding) feature for the front fog lamps,
which will turn these lamps off if they are left on for
more than about eight minutes with the ignition
switch in the Off position. In certain markets where
required, the front fog lamps are also turned off by
the BCM whenever the headlamp high beams are
selected. Each front fog lamp includes an integral
adjustment screw to be used for static aiming the fog
lamp beams.
HAZARD WARNING LAMPS
With the hazard switch in the On position, the
hazard warning system is activated causing the haz-
ard switch button illumination lamp, the right and
left turn signal indicators, and the right and left turn
signal lamps to flash on and off. When the hazard
warning system is activated, the circuitry within the
hazard switch and electronic combination flasher
unit will repeatedly energize and de-energize two
internal relays that switch battery current from a
fused B(+) fuse in the Junction Block (JB) to the
right side and left side turn signal indicators, and
turn signal lamps through the right and left turn sig-
nal circuits. The flashing of the hazard switch button
illumination lamp is performed internally by the haz-
ard switch and combination flasher unit circuit
board. The hazard warning lamps can also be ener-
gized by the Body Control Module (BCM) through a
hazard lamp control circuit input to the hazard
switch and combination flasher unit.HEADLAMPS
The headlamp system includes the Body Control
Module (BCM), a low beam relay installed in the
Junction Block (JB), a high beam relay installed in
the JB (except Canada), a solid state Daytime Run-
ning Lamps (DRL) relay installed in the JB (Canada
only), and the exterior lighting (headlamp and dim-
mer) switches integral to the left (lighting) control
stalk of the multi-function switch. The headlamp
bulbs have a path to ground at all times through
their connection to the grille opening reinforcement
wire harness from two take outs of the headlamp and
dash wire harness with eyelet terminal connectors
that are secured by ground screws to the left inner
fender shield in the engine compartment. The BCM
controls the headlamp operation by monitoring the
exterior lighting switch inputs from the multi-func-
tion switch, then energizing or de-energizing the con-
trol coils of the low beam relay, the high beam relay,
or the solid state circuitry of the DRL relay; and, by
sending the appropriate electronic message to the
instrument cluster over the Programmable Commu-
nications Interface (PCI) data bus to turn the high
beam indicator on or off. When each respective relay
is energized, it provides battery current from a fused
B(+) fuse in the Power Distribution Center (PDC)
through a relay (low beam, high beam, or DRL) out-
put circuit and four separate fuses in the JB through
individual fused right and left, low and high beam
output circuits to the appropriate headlamp bulb fil-
aments. The BCM provides a battery saver (load
shedding) feature for the headlamps, which will turn
these lamps off if they are left on for more than
about eight minutes with the ignition switch in the
Off position; and, a headlamp delay feature with a
DRBIIItscan tool programmable delay interval.
Each headlamp includes an integral adjustment
screw to be used for static aiming of the headlamp
beams.
HEADLAMP LEVELING
In certain markets where required, a headlamp
leveling system is provided on the vehicle. The head-
lamp leveling system includes unique headlamp units
equipped with a headlamp leveling actuator motor,
and a rotary thumbwheel actuated headlamp leveling
switch on the instrument panel. The headlamp level-
ing system allows the headlamp beams to be
adjusted to one of four vertical positions to compen-
sate for changes in inclination caused by the loading
of the vehicle suspension. The actuator motors are
mechanically connected through an integral pushrod
to an adjustable headlamp reflector. The headlamp
leveling switch is a resistor multiplexed unit that
provides one of four voltage outputs to the headlamp
leveling motors. The headlamp leveling motors will
8Ls - 6 LAMPSKJ
LAMPS/LIGHTING - EXTERIOR (Continued)

move the headlamps to the selected position based
upon the voltage input received from the switch. The
headlamp leveling motors and switch have a path to
ground at all times. The headlamp leveling compo-
nents operate on battery current received through
the fused park lamp relay output circuit so that the
system will only operate when the exterior lighting is
turned on.
PARK LAMPS
The park lamps system includes the Body Control
Module (BCM), a park lamp relay installed in the
Junction Block (JB), and the exterior lighting switch
integral to the left (lighting) control stalk of the
multi-function switch. The front park lamp and side
marker or, if equipped, the front position lamp bulbs
each have a path to ground at all times through their
connections to the grille opening reinforcement wire
harness from two take outs of the headlamp and
dash wire harness with eyelet terminal connectors
that are secured by ground screws to the left inner
fender shield in the engine compartment. The rear
park lamp bulbs and license plate lamp have a path
to ground at all times through their connection to the
rear lighting wire harness from a take out of the rear
body wire harness with an eyelet terminal connector
that is secured by a ground screw to the base of the
right D-pillar behind the quarter trim panel. The
BCM controls the park lamp operation by monitoring
the exterior lighting switch inputs from the multi-
function switch, then energizing or de-energizing the
control coil of the park lamp relay. When the park
lamp relay is energized, it provides battery current
from a fused B(+) fuse in the Power Distribution
Center (PDC) through a park lamp relay output cir-
cuit and a separate fuse in the JB through a fused
park lamp relay output circuit to the appropriate
lamp bulb filaments. The BCM provides a battery
saver (load shedding) feature for the park lamps,
which will turn these lamps off if they are left on for
more than about eight minutes with the ignition
switch in the Off position.
REAR FOG LAMPS
Rear fog lamps are installed on vehicles manufac-
tured for certain markets where they are required.
The rear fog lamp system includes a premium Body
Control Module (BCM), a rear fog lamp relay
installed in the Junction Block (JB), and a rear fog
lamp switch integral to the left (lighting) control
stalk of the multi-function switch. The rear fog lamps
have a path to ground at all times through their con-
nection to the rear lighting wire harness from a take
out of the rear body wire harness with an eyelet ter-
minal connector that is secured by a ground screw to
the base of the right D-pillar behind the quarter trimpanel. The BCM controls rear fog lamp operation by
monitoring the exterior lighting switch input from
the multi-function switch, then energizing or de-ener-
gizing the rear fog lamp relay control coil; and, by
sending the appropriate electronic message to the
instrument cluster over the Programmable Commu-
nications Interface (PCI) data bus to turn the rear
fog lamp indicator on or off. When the rear fog lamp
relay is energized, it provides battery current from a
fused B(+) fuse in the JB to the rear fog lamps
through the rear fog lamp relay output circuit. The
BCM provides a battery saver (load shedding) feature
for the rear fog lamps, which will turn these lamps
off if they are left on for more than about eight min-
utes with the ignition switch in the Off position.
TURN SIGNAL LAMPS
When the left control stalk of the multi-function
switch is moved up (right turn) or down (left turn),
the turn signal system is activated causing the
selected right or left turn signal indicator, and right
or left turn signal lamps to flash on and off. When
the turn signal system is activated, the circuitry
within the turn signal switch and the hazard switch/
electronic combination flasher unit will repeatedly
energize and de-energize one of two internal relays
that switch battery current from a fused ignition
switch output (run) fuse in the Junction Block (JB) to
the right side or left side turn signal indicators and
turn signal lamps through the right or left turn sig-
nal circuits. The ElectroMechanical Instrument Clus-
ter (EMIC) chime tone generator will generate an
audible turn signal cancel warning each time the
vehicle is driven for a distance of about 3.2 kilome-
ters (about two miles) with a turn signal indicator
flashing. The EMIC uses Programmable Communica-
tions Interface (PCI) data bus distance messages
from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and a
hard wired input from the turn signal switch cir-
cuitry of the multi-function switch to determine when
to sound the turn signal cancel warning.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - LAMPS/LIGHTING

The hard wired circuits and components of the
exterior lighting systems may be diagnosed and
tested using conventional diagnostic tools and proce-
dures. However, conventional diagnostic methods
may not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the Body
Control Module (BCM), the ElectroMechanical
Instrument Cluster (EMIC), the Powertrain Control

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.

(1) Turn off the engine.
(2) Erase the factory test codes by pressing but-
tons 1 and 3. Release the buttons when the two
green lights begin to flash (about 20 seconds).
(3) Choose one of the three buttons to train. Place
the hand-held transmitter within one inch of the uni-
versal transmitter and push the buttons on both
transmitters. The green dot below the house symbol
will begin to flash slowly.
(4) When the red light on the universal transmit-
ter begins to flash rapidly (this may take as long as
60 seconds), release both buttons. Your universal
transmitter is now ªtrainedº. To train the other but-
tons, repeat Step 3 and Step 4. Be sure to keep your
hand-held transmitter in case you need to retrain the
universal transmitter.
AMBIENT TEMP SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
Ambient air temperature is monitored by the Com-
pass Mini-Trip Computer (CMTC) through ambient
temperature sensor messages received from the Body
Control Module (BCM) over the Programmable Com-
munications Interface (PCI) data bus network. The
BCM receives a hard wired input from the ambient
temperature sensor. The ambient temperature sensor
(Fig. 8) is a variable resistor mounted in front the
radiator, behind the grille, near the center of the
vehicle.
Refer toBody Control Modulein Electronic Con-
trol Modules. For complete circuit diagrams, refer to
the appropriate wiring information. The ambient
temperature sensor cannot be adjusted or repaired
and, if faulty or damaged, it must be replaced.
OPERATION
The ambient temperature sensor is a variable
resistor that operates on a five-volt reference signal
sent to it by the BCM. The resistance in the sensor
changes as temperature changes, changing the tem-
perature sensor signal circuit voltage to the BCM.
Based upon the resistance in the sensor, the BCM
senses a specific voltage on the temperature sensor
signal circuit, which it is programmed to correspond
to a specific temperature. The BCM then sends the
proper ambient temperature messages to the CMTC
over the PCI data bus.
The thermometer function is supported by the
ambient temperature sensor, a wiring circuit, the
Body Control Module (BCM), the Programmable
Communications Interface (PCI) data bus, and a por-
tion of the Compass Mini-Trip Computer module.
The ambient temperature sensor circuit can also be
diagnosed by referring toDiagnosis and Testing -
Ambient Temperature Sensor, and Diagnosis
and Testing - Ambient Temperature Sensor Cir-
cuit. If the temperature sensor and circuit are con-
firmed to be OK, but the temperature display is
inoperative or incorrect, refer toDiagnosis and
Testing - Compass Mini-Trip Computerin this
section. For complete circuit diagrams, refer to the
appropriate wiring information.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - AMBIENT
TEMPERATURE SENSOR
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the Off position.
Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
Disconnect the ambient temperature sensor wire har-
ness connector.
(2) Measure the resistance of the ambient temper-
ature sensor. At ±40É C (±40É F), the sensor resis-
tance is 336 kilohms. At 55É C (140É F), the sensor
resistance is 2.488 kilohms. The sensor resistance
should read between these two values. If OK, refer to
Diagnosis and Testing - Ambient Temperature
Sensor Circuitin this group. If not OK, replace the
faulty ambient temperature sensor.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - AMBIENT
TEMPERATURE SENSOR CIRCUIT
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the Off position.

OPERATION
The Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS) is
divided into two basic subsystems: Vehicle Theft
Alarm (VTA) and Sentry Key Immobilizer System
(SKIS). Following are paragraphs that briefly
describe the operation of each of these two sub-
systems.
VEHICLE THEFT ALARM The Body Control Mod-
ule (BCM) is used on this model to control and inte-
grate many of the electronic functions and features
included in the Vehicle Theft Alarm (VTA). The BCM
receives hard wired inputs indicating the status of
the door ajar switches, the door cylinder lock
switches, the ignition switch, the tailgate ajar switch,
the tailgate cylinder lock switch, the flip-up glass
ajar switch, the power lock switches and, in vehicles
built for certain markets where it is required, the
hood ajar switch. The programming in the BCM
allows it to process the information from all of these
inputs and send control outputs to energize or de-en-

continuity. If OK, go to Step 6. If not OK, repair the
open ground circuit(s) to ground (G202) as required.
(6) Reconnect the battery negative cable. Check for
battery voltage at the fused B(+) circuit cavity of the
instrument panel wire harness connector for the
SKIM. If OK, go to Step 7. If not OK, repair the open
fused B(+) circuit between the SKIM and the JB as
required.
(7) Turn the ignition switch to the On position.
Check for battery voltage at the fused ignition switch
output (run-start) circuit cavity of the instrument
panel wire harness connector for the SKIM. If OK,
use a DRBIIItscan tool to complete the diagnosis of
the SKIS. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic infor-
mation. If not OK, repair the open fused ignition
switch output (run-start) circuit between the SKIM
and the JB as required.
SKIS INDICATOR FLASHES UPON IGNITION ªONº OR
LIGHTS SOLID FOLLOWING BULB TEST
A SKIS indicator that flashes following the ignition
switch being turned to the On position indicates that
an invalid key has been detected, or that a key-re-
lated fault has been set. A SKIS indicator that lights
solid following a successful bulb test indicates that
the SKIM has detected a system malfunction or that
the SKIS is inoperative. In either case, fault informa-
tion will be stored in the SKIM memory. For retrieval
of this fault information and further diagnosis of the
SKIS, the PCI data bus, the SKIM electronic mes-
sage outputs to the instrument cluster that control
the SKIS indicator and chime, or the electronic mes-
sage inputs and outputs between the SKIM and the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) that control
engine operation, a DRBIIItscan tool is required.
Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information. Fol-
lowing are preliminary troubleshooting guidelines to
be followed during diagnosis using a DRBIIItscan
tool:
(1) Using the DRBIIItscan tool, read and record
the faults as they exist in the SKIM when you first
begin your diagnosis of the vehicle. It is important to
document these faults because the SKIM does not
differentiate between historical faults (those that
have occurred in the past) and active faults (those
that are currently present). If this problem turns out
to be an intermittent condition, this information may
become invaluable to your diagnosis.
(2) Using the DRBIIItscan tool, erase all of the
faults from the SKIM.
(3) Cycle the ignition switch to the Off position,
then back to the On position.
(4) Using the DRBIIItscan tool, read any faults
that are now present in the SKIM. These are the
active faults.(5) Using this active fault information, refer to the
proper procedure in the appropriate diagnostic infor-
mation for the specific additional diagnostic steps.
STANDARD PROCEDURE
STANDARD PROCEDURE - SKIS
INITIALIZATION
The Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) must
be initialized following a Sentry Key Immobilizer
Module (SKIM) replacement. SKIS initialization
requires the use of a DRBIIItscan tool. Initialization
will also require that you have access to the unique
four-digit PIN code that was assigned to the original
SKIM. The PIN codemustbe used to enter the
Secured Access Mode in the SKIM. This PIN number
may be obtained from the vehicle owner, from the
original vehicle invoice, or from the DaimlerChrysler
Customer Center. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/ELEC-
TRONIC CONTROL MODULES - STANDARD PRO-
CEDURE - PCM/SKIM PROGRAMMING).
NOTE: If a Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is
replaced on a vehicle equipped with the Sentry Key
Immobilizer System (SKIS), the unique Secret Key
data must be transferred from the Sentry Key
Immobilizer Module (SKIM) to the new PCM using
the PCM replacement procedure. This procedure
also requires the use of a DRBIIITscan tool and the
unique four-digit PIN code to enter the Secured
Access Mode in the SKIM. Refer to the appropriate
diagnostic information for the proper PCM replace-
ment procedures.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - SENTRY KEY
TRANSPONDER PROGRAMMING
All Sentry Keys included with the vehicle are pre-
programmed to work with the Sentry Key Immobi-
lizer System (SKIS) when it is shipped from the
factory. The Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM)
can be programmed to recognize up to a total of eight
Sentry Keys. When programming a blank Sentry Key
transponder, the key must first be cut to match the
ignition switch lock cylinder in the vehicle for which
it will be used. Once the additional or new key has
been cut, the SKIM must be programmed to recog-

through the cowl plenum cover/grille panel located
near the base of the windshield.
²Front Wiper Blade- The two front wiper
blades are secured to the two front wiper arms with
an integral latch, and are parked on the glass near
the bottom of the windshield when the front wiper
system is not in operation.
²Front Wiper Module- The front wiper pivot
shafts are the only visible components of the front
wiper module. The remainder of the module is con-
cealed within the cowl plenum area beneath the cowl
plenum cover/grille panel. The front wiper module
includes the wiper module bracket, four rubber-iso-
lated wiper module mounts, the front wiper motor,
the wiper motor crank arm, the two wiper drive
links, and the two front wiper pivots.
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 right control stalk is
dedicated to providing all of the driver controls for
both the front and rear wiper systems. (Refer to 8 -ELECTRICAL/LAMPS/LIGHTING - EXTERIOR/
MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH - DESCRIPTION).
²Washer Fluid Level Switch- The washer fluid
level switch is located in a dedicated hole near the
center of the rearward facing surface of the washer
reservoir, behind the right front wheel house splash
shield.
²Washer Pump/Motor- The reversible electric
washer pump/motor unit is located in a dedicated
hole on the lower outboard side of the washer reser-
voir, behind the right front wheel house splash
shield. This single reversible washer pump/motor
provides washer fluid to either the front or rear
washer system plumbing, depending upon the direc-
tion of the pump motor rotation.
²Washer Reservoir- The washer reservoir is
concealed behind the right front wheel house splash
shield ahead of the right front wheel. The washer
reservoir filler neck is the only visible portion of the
reservoir, and it is accessed from the right front cor-
ner of the engine compartment.
²Wiper High-Low Relay- The wiper high-low
relay is an International Standards Organization
(ISO) micro relay located in the Power Distribution
Center (PDC) in the engine compartment near the
battery.
²Wiper On-Off Relay- The wiper on-off relay is
an International Standards Organization (ISO) micro
relay located in the Power Distribution Center (PDC)
in the engine compartment near the battery.
Hard wired circuitry connects the front wiper and
washer system components 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 front wiper and
washer 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. 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.
OPERATING MODES The components of the front
wiper and washer system are designed to work in
concert to provide the following operating modes:
²Continuous Wipe Mode- The control knob on
the right (wiper) control stalk of the multi-function
switch has two continuous wipe positions, Low and
High. When selected, these switch positions will
cause the two-speed front wiper motor to operate in a
continuous low or high speed cycle.
