ergize the combination flasher, the horn relay (except
vehicles with the Rest-Of-World or ROW premium
version of the VTA), and the security indicator. In
addition, in vehicles built for certain markets where
the ROW premium version of the VTA is required,
the BCM also exchanges electronic messages with
the Intrusion Transceiver Module (ITM) over the Pro-
grammable Communications Interface (PCI) data bus
network to provide the features found in this version
of the VTA.
The hard wired circuits and components of the
VTA may be diagnosed and tested using conventional
diagnostic tools and procedures. However, conven-
tional diagnostic methods may not prove conclusive
in the diagnosis of the Body Control Module (BCM),
the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC),
the Intrusion Transceiver Module (ITM), or the Pro-
grammable Communications Interface (PCI) data bus
network. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate
means to diagnose the BCM, the EMIC, the ITM,
and the PCI data bus network inputs and outputs
related to the VTA requires the use of a DRBIIIt
scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic infor-
mation. Following are paragraphs that briefly
describe the operation of each of the VTA features.
See the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for
more information on the features, use and operation
of the VTA.
²ENABLING- The BCM must have the VTA
function electronically enabled in order for the VTA
to perform as designed. The logic in the BCM keeps
its VTA function dormant until it is enabled using a
DRBIIItscan tool. The VTA function of the BCM is
enabled on vehicles equipped with the VTA option at
the factory, but a service replacement BCM must be
VTA-enabled by the dealer using a DRBIIItscan
tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
²PRE-ARMING- The VTA has a pre-arming
sequence. Pre-arming occurs when a door, the tail-
gate, or the flip-up glass is open when the vehicle is
locked using a power lock switch, or when the ªLockº
button on the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmit-
ter is depressed. The power lock switch will not ini-
tiate the pre-arming sequence if the key is in the
ignition switch. When the VTA is pre-armed, the
arming sequence is delayed until all of the doors, the
tailgate, and the flip-up glass are closed.
²ARMING- Passive arming of the VTA occurs
when the vehicle is exited with the key removed from
the ignition switch and the doors are locked while
they are open using the power lock switch (see Pre-
Arming). Active arming of the VTA occurs when the
ªLockº button on the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter is depressed to lock the vehicle after all
of the doors, the tailgate, and the flip-up glass are
closed. The VTA will not arm if the doors are lockedusing the key in a lock cylinder or using a mechani-
cal lock button. Once the VTA begins the passive or
active arming sequence, the security indicator in the
instrument cluster will flash rapidly for about six-
teen seconds. This indicates that the VTA arming
sequence is in progress. If the ignition switch is
turned to the On position, if a door is unlocked with
the power lock switch or the RKE transmitter, or if
the tailgate is unlocked by any means during the six-
teen second arming sequence, the security indicator
will stop flashing and the VTA arming sequence will
abort. On vehicles equipped with the hood ajar
switch, the VTA arming sequence will occur regard-
less of whether the hood is open or closed, but the
underhood area will not be protected unless the hood
is closed when the VTA arming sequence begins.
Also, if the status of the hood ajar switch changes
from open (hood closed) to closed (hood open) during
the sixteen second arming sequence, the security
indicator will stop flashing and the VTA arming
sequence will abort. Once the sixteen second arming
sequence is successfully completed, the security indi-
cator will flash at a slower rate, indicating that the
VTA is armed.
²DISARMING- For vehicles built for the North
American market, disarming of the VTA occurs when
the vehicle is unlocked using the key to unlock a door
or the tailgate. Disarming of the VTA for any market
also occurs when the vehicle is unlocked by depress-
ing the ªUnlockº button of the Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) transmitter, or by turning the ignition switch
to the On position using a valid Sentry Key Immobi-
lizer System (SKIS) key. Once the alarm has been
activated, any of these disarming methods will also
deactivate the alarm.
²POWER-UP MODE- When the armed VTA
senses that the battery has been disconnected and
reconnected, it enters its power-up mode. In the pow-
er-up mode the alarm system returns to the mode
that was last selected prior to the battery failure or
disconnect. If the VTA was armed prior to the battery
disconnect or failure, the technician or vehicle opera-
tor will have to actively or passively disarm the sys-
tem after the battery is reconnected. The power-up
mode will also apply if the battery goes dead while
the system is armed, and battery jump-starting is
then attempted. The VTA will remain armed until
the technician or vehicle operator has actively or pas-
sively disarmed the system. If the VTA is in the dis-
armed mode prior to a battery disconnect or failure,
it will remain disarmed after the battery is recon-
nected or replaced, or if jump-starting is attempted.
²ALARM- The VTA alarm output varies by the
version of the VTA with which the vehicle is
equipped. In all cases, the alarm provides both visual
and audible outputs; however, the time intervals of

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-
nize it as a valid key. There are two possible methods
to program the SKIM to recognize a new or addi-
tional valid key, the Secured Access Method and the
Customer Learn Method. Following are the details of
these two programming methods.

REAR WIPER MOTOR
DESCRIPTION
The rear wiper motor is concealed within the tail-
gate, below the rear flip-up glass opening and behind
the tailgate inner trim panel. The end of the motor
output shaft that protrudes through the tailgate
outer panel to drive the rear wiper arm and blade is
the only visible component of the rear wiper motor
(Fig. 15). A rubber gasket, a bezel, and a nut secure
and seal the motor output shaft to the tailgate outer
panel. A molded plastic nut cover snaps onto the
bezel to conceal the nut and improve appearance. An
integral connector receptacle connects the rear wipermotor to the vehicle electrical system through a ded-
icated take out and connector of the tailgate wire
harness. The rear wiper motor consists of the follow-
ing major components:
²Bracket- The rear wiper motor bracket consists
of a stamped steel mounting plate for the wiper
motor that is secured with screws through two rub-
ber insulators to the tailgate inner panel.
²Rear Wiper Module- The rear wiper motor
electronic controls are concealed beneath a molded
plastic cover and includes the rear wiper system elec-
tronic logic and rear wiper motor electronic controls.
²Motor- The permanent magnet rear wiper
motor is secured with screws to the rear wiper motor
bracket. The wiper motor includes an integral trans-
mission, and the motor output shaft.
The rear wiper motor cannot be adjusted or
repaired. If any component of the motor is faulty or
damaged, the entire rear wiper motor unit must be
replaced. The motor output shaft gasket, bezel, nut,
and nut cover are available for service replacement.
OPERATION
The rear wiper motor receives non-switched bat-
tery current through a fuse in the Junction Block
(JB) on a fused B(+) circuit and is connected to
ground at all times. The rear wiper motor operation
is controlled by the vehicle operator through battery
current signal inputs received by the rear wiper
motor electronic control module from the rear wiper
switch circuitry that is integral to the right (wiper)
control stalk of the multi-function switch on the
steering column. The module also receives an exter-
nal control input from the flip-up glass ajar switch
sense circuit. If the rear wiper module senses that
the flip-up glass is ajar, it will not allow the rear
wiper motor to operate.
The rear wiper module electronic control logic uses
these inputs, its internal inputs, and its program-
ming to provide a continuous wipe mode, an inter-
mittent wipe mode, a wipe-after-wash mode, and off-
the-glass wiper blade parking. The wiper blade
cycling is controlled by the internal electronic con-
trols of the module. The module controls current flow
to the wiper motor brushes and provides an elec-
tronic speed control that speeds the wiper blade near
the center of the glass, but slows the wiper blade
during directional reversals at each end of the wipe
pattern and during wiper blade off-the-glass parking
for quieter operation. The wiper motor transmission
converts the rotary output of the wiper motor to the
back and forth wiping motion of the rear wiper arm
and blade on the rear flip-up glass.

INSPECTION
Inspect the following components:
²Sprockets for excessive tooth wear. Some tooth
markings are normal and not a cause for sprocket
replacement.
²Idler sprocket assembly bushing and shaft for
excessive wear.
²Idler sprocket assembly spline joint. The joint
should be tight with no backlash or axial movement.
²Chain guides and tensioner arms. Replace these
parts if grooving in plastic face is more than 1 mm
(0.039 in.) deep. If plastic face is severely grooved or
melted, the tensioner lube jet may be clogged. The
tensioner should be replaced.
²Secondary chain tensioner piston and ratcheting
device. Inspect for evidence of heavy contact between
tensioner piston and tensioner arm. If this condition
exist the tensioner tensioner arm and chain should
be replaced.
²Primary chain tensioner plastic faces. Replace as
required.

A/C HEATER CONTROL
DESCRIPTION
Both the heater-only and A/C heater systems use a
combination of mechanical, electrical, and vacuum
controls. These controls provide the vehicle operator
with a number of setting options to help control the
climate and comfort within the vehicle. Refer to the
owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for more
information on the features, use, and suggested oper-
ation of these controls.
The heater-only or A/C heater control panel is
located to the right of the instrument cluster on the
instrument panel. The control panel contains a rota-
ry-type temperature control knob, a rotary-type mode
control switch knob, and a rotary-type blower motor
speed switch knob. The control also has a push but-
ton to activate the rear window defogger.
The heater-only or A/C heater control panel cannot
be repaired. If faulty or damaged, the entire unit
must be replaced. The illumination lamps are avail-
able for service replacement.

tion (high head pressure), restrict the air flow
through the condenser. Install a manifold gauge set
to be certain that the discharge pressure does not
exceed 2760 kPa (400 psi).
(4) Check the refrigerant system plumbing for
incorrect routing, rubbing or interference, which can
cause unusual noises. Also check the refrigerant lines
for kinks or sharp bends that will restrict refrigerant
flow, which can cause noises. (Refer to 24 - HEAT-
ING & AIR CONDITIONING/PLUMBING - CAU-
TION)

AIR CONDITIONING/PLUMBING - CAUTION)
The compressor may be removed and repositioned
without disconnecting the refrigerant lines or dis-
charging the refrigerant system. Discharging is not
necessary if servicing the compressor clutch or clutch
coil, the engine, the cylinder head, or the generator.
(1) Recover the refrigerant from the refrigerant
system. (Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR CONDI-
TIONING/PLUMBING - STANDARD PROCEDURE -
REFRIGERANT RECOVERY)(2) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(3) Remove the serpentine drive belt(Refer to 7 -
COOLING/ACCESSORY DRIVE/DRIVE BELTS -
REMOVAL).
(4) Unplug the compressor clutch coil wire harness
connector.
(5) Remove the suction and discharge refrigerant
line manifold from the compressor. (Refer to 24 -
HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING/PLUMBING/
SUCTION LINE - REMOVAL) (Refer to 24 - HEAT-
ING & AIR CONDITIONING/PLUMBING/A/C

EVAP/PURGE SOLENOID
DESCRIPTION
The duty cycle EVAP canister purge solenoid (DCP)
is located in the engine compartment. It is attached
to a bracket located between the battery and the
Power Distribution Center (PDC). The EVAP system
test port is located near the solenoid.
OPERATION
The duty cycle EVAP canister purge solenoid (DCP)
regulates the rate of vapor flow from the EVAP can-
ister to the intake manifold. The Powertrain Control
Module (PCM) operates the solenoid.
During the cold start warm-up period and the hot
start time delay, the PCM does not energize the sole-
noid. When de-energized, no vapors are purged. The
PCM de-energizes the solenoid during open loop oper-
ation.
The engine enters closed loop operation after it
reaches a specified temperature and the time delay
ends. During closed loop operation, the PCM cycles
(energizes and de-energizes) the solenoid 5 or 10
times per second, depending upon operating condi-
tions. The PCM varies the vapor flow rate by chang-
ing solenoid pulse width. Pulse width is the amount
of time that the solenoid is energized. The PCM
adjusts solenoid pulse width based on engine operat-
ing condition.
REMOVAL
The duty cycle EVAP canister purge solenoid (DCP)
is located in the engine compartment (Fig. 2). It is
attached to a bracket located between the battery
and the Power Distribution Center (PDC). The EVAP
system test port is located near the solenoid (Fig. 2).
(1) Disconnect electrical wiring connector at sole-
noid.
(2) Disconnect vacuum harness at solenoid.
(3) Remove solenoid and its support bracket (pull
straight up).
INSTALLATION
(1) Slip EVAP canister purge solenoid onto its
mounting bracket.
(2) Connect vacuum harness to solenoid.
(3) Connect electrical connector to solenoid.
FUEL FILLER CAP
DESCRIPTION
The plastic fuel tank filler tube cap is threaded
onto the end of the fuel fill tube. All models are
equipped with a 1/4 turn cap.
OPERATION
The loss of any fuel or vapor out of fuel filler tube
is prevented by the use of a pressure-vacuum fuel fill
cap. Relief valves inside the cap will release fuel tank
pressure at predetermined pressures. Fuel tank vac-
uum will also be released at predetermined values.
This cap must be replaced by a similar unit if
replacement is necessary. This is in order for the sys-
tem to remain effective.
CAUTION: Remove fill cap before servicing any fuel
system component to relieve tank pressure. If
equipped with an ORVR system and a Leak Detec-
tion Pump (LDP), the cap must be tightened
securely. If cap is left loose, a Diagnostic Trouble
Code (DTC) may be set.
LEAK DETECTION PUMP
DESCRIPTION
The Leak Detection Pump (LDP) is bolted to the
front of the fuel tank (Fig. 1).
The Leak Detection Pump (LDP) is used only with
certain emission packages.
The LDP is a device used to detect a leak in the
evaporative system.
