SPECIFICATIONS
BRAKE FLUID
The brake fluid used in this vehicle must conform
to DOT 3 specifications and SAE J1703 standards.
No other type of brake fluid is recommended or
approved for usage in the vehicle brake system. Use
only Mopar brake fluid or an equivalent from a
tightly sealed container.
CAUTION: Never use reclaimed brake fluid or fluid
from an container which has been left open. An
open container will absorb moisture from the air
and contaminate the fluid.
CAUTION: Never use any type of a petroleum-based
fluid in the brake hydraulic system. Use of such
type fluids will result in seal damage of the vehicle
brake hydraulic system causing a failure of the
vehicle brake system. Petroleum based fluids would
be items such as engine oil, transmission fluid,
power steering fluid, etc.
DRUM
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - BRAKE DRUM
The maximum allowable diameter of the drum
braking surface is indicated on the drum outer edge.
Generally, a drum can be machined to a maximum of
1.52 mm (0.060 in.) oversize. Always replace the
drum if machining would cause drum diameter to
exceed the size limit indicated on the drum.
BRAKE DRUM RUNOUT
Measure drum diameter and runout with an accu-
rate gauge. The most accurate method of measure-
ment involves mounting the drum in a brake lathe
and checking variation and runout with a dial indi-
cator.
Variations in drum diameter should not exceed
0.076 mm (0.003 in.). Drum runout should not exceed
0.20 mm (0.008 in.) out of round. Machine the drum
if runout or variation exceed these values. Replace
the drum if machining causes the drum to exceed the
maximum allowable diameter.
STANDARD PROCEDURES - BRAKE DRUM
MACHINING
The brake drums can be machined on a drum lathe
when necessary. Initial machining cuts should be lim-
ited to 0.12 - 0.20 mm (0.005 - 0.008 in.) at a time as
heavier feed rates can produce taper and surface
variation. Final finish cuts of 0.025 to 0.038 mm(0.001 to 0.0015 in.) are recommended and will gen-
erally provide the best surface finish.
Be sure the drum is securely mounted in the lathe
before machining operations. A damper strap should
always be used around the drum to reduce vibration
and avoid chatter marks.
The maximum allowable diameter of the drum
braking surface is stamped or cast into the drum
outer edge.
CAUTION: Replace the drum if machining will cause
the drum to exceed the maximum allowable diame-
ter.

tion switch is in any position except On, and elec-
tronic messages are received over the PCI data bus
from the BCM indicating that the exterior lights are
On with the ignition switch in any position except
On, and the status of the driver side front door is not
closed. The BCM uses internal programming and
hard wired inputs from the left (lighting) control
stalk of the multi-function switch, the ignition
switch, and the driver side front door ajar switch to
determine the proper messages to send to the EMIC.
These chimes will continue to sound until the exte-
rior lighting is turned Off, until the ignition switch is
turned to the On position, or until the status of the
driver side front door ajar input changes from not
closed to closed, whichever occurs first.
²Key-In-Ignition Warning- The EMIC chime
tone generator will generate repetitive ªbong-likeº
chime tones at a fast rate when the ignition switch is
in any position except On, and electronic messages
are received over the PCI data bus from the BCM
indicating that the key is in the ignition lock cylinder
with the ignition switch in any position except On,
and the driver side front door is not closed. The BCM
internal programming and hard wired inputs from
the key-in ignition circuitry of the ignition switch,
the ignition switch, and the driver side front door
ajar switch to determine the proper messages to send
to the EMIC. These chimes will continue to sound
until the key is removed from the ignition lock cylin-
der, until the ignition switch is turned to the On
position, or until the status of the driver side front
door ajar input changes from not closed to closed,
whichever occurs first.
²Low Coolant Warning- On vehicles equipped
with a diesel engine, the EMIC chime tone generator
will generate a single ªbong-likeº chime tone when
the ignition switch is first turned to the On position
and a hard wired input from the engine coolant level
sensor to the EMIC indicates that the coolant level is
low for more than about one-quarter second. Any
time after the ignition switch is first turned to the
On position, the EMIC uses internal programming to
check the status of the engine coolant level sensor
inputs about once every second, then adjusts an
internal counter up or down based upon the status of
this input. When the counter accumulates thirty
inputs indicating that the coolant level is low, a sin-
gle chime tone is sounded. This strategy is intended
to reduce the effect that coolant sloshing within the
coolant reservoir can have on reliable chime warning
operation. This warning will only occur once during
an ignition cycle.
²Low Fuel Warning- Each time the ignition
switch is turned to the On position, the EMIC chime
tone generator will generate a single ªbong-likeº
chime tone the first time an electronic message isreceived over the PCI data bus from the PCM
requesting ªLow Fuelº indicator illumination. The
chime will only occur a second time during the same
ignition cycle if another electronic message has been
received from the PCM indicating that there is an
increase in the fuel level equal to about 3 liters (0.8
gallon), then a subsequent electronic message from
the PCM requests ªLow Fuelº indicator illumination.
This strategy combined with filtering performed by
the internal programming of the PCM on the fuel
tank sending unit input is intended to reduce the
possibility of fuel sloshing within the fuel tank caus-
ing multiple low fuel warning chimes during a given
ignition cycle. The EMIC will also respond with the
low fuel warning chime when electronic fuel level
messages are received from the PCM indicating that
the hard wired input to the PCM from the fuel tank
sending unit is an open circuit (greater than full), or
a short circuit (less than empty).
²Low Washer Fluid Warning- The EMIC
chime tone generator will generate a single ªbong-
likeº chime tone when the ignition switch is turned
to the On position and a hard wired input from the
washer fluid level switch to the EMIC indicates the
washer fluid is low for more than about one-quarter
second. Any time after the ignition switch is first
turned to the On position, the EMIC uses internal
programming to check the status of the washer fluid
level switch inputs about once every second, then
adjusts an internal counter up or down based upon
the status of this input. When the counter accumu-
lates thirty inputs indicating that the washer fluid
level is low, a single chime tone is sounded. This
strategy is intended to reduce the effect that fluid
sloshing within the washer reservoir can have on
reliable chime warning operation. This warning will
only occur once during an ignition cycle.
²Overspeed Warning- The EMIC chime tone
generator will generate repetitive ªbong-likeº chime
tones at a slow rate when the ignition switch is in
the On position, and an electronic message received
over the PCI data bus from the PCM indicates that
the vehicle speed is over a programmed speed value.
The PCM uses internal programming and distance
pulse information received over a hard wired vehicle
speed pulse input from the BCM to determine the
proper vehicle speed messages to send to the EMIC.
The BCM uses an internally programmed electronic
pinion factor and a hard wired input from the rear
wheel speed sensor to calculate the proper distance
pulse information to send to the PCM. The electronic
pinion factor represents the proper tire size and axle
ratio information for the vehicle. These chimes will
continue to sound until the vehicle speed messages
are below the programmed speed value, or until the
ignition switch is turned to the Off position, which-

ever occurs first. The overspeed warning feature is
only enabled on a BCM that has been programmed
with a Middle East Gulf Coast Country (GCC) coun-
try code.
²No Airbag Indicator Message Warning- The
EMIC chime tone generator will generate one, short,
ªbong-likeº chime tone and turn on the ªAirbagº indi-
cator when the ignition switch is in the On position,
and a PCI data bus ªAirbagº indicator on or off mes-
sage is not received from the ACM for six consecutive
seconds.
²No Antilock Brake Indicator Message Warn-
ing- The EMIC chime tone generator will generate
one, short, ªbong-likeº chime tone and turn on the
ªABSº indicator when the ignition switch is in the On
position, and a PCI data bus ªABSº indicator on or
off message is not received from the CAB for six con-
secutive seconds.
²No Fuel Level Message Warning- The EMIC
chime tone generator will generate one, short, ªbong-
likeº chime tone and turn on the ªLow Fuelº indica-
tor when the ignition switch is in the On position,
and a PCI data bus fuel level message is not received
from the PCM for twelve consecutive seconds.
²Remote Keyless Entry Transmitter Pro-
gramming- On vehicles so equipped, the EMIC
chime tone generator will generate a single ªbong-
likeº chime tone when an electronic message is
received over the PCI data bus from the BCM indi-
cating that a Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmit-
ter has been successfully programmed by the
customer into the RKE module memory.
²Sentry Key Immobilizer System Transpon-
der Programming- On vehicles so equipped, the
EMIC chime tone generator will generate a single
ªbong-likeº chime tone when an electronic message is
received over PCI data bus message from the Sentry
Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM) indicating that the
Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) has been
placed in the ªCustomer Learnº programming mode,
and again each time a new SKIS transponder has
been successfully programmed by the customer.
²Turn Signal Cancel Warning- The EMIC
chime tone generator will generate repetitive ªbong-
likeº chime tones at a slow rate when the vehicle is
driven for a distance of about 3.2 kilometers (about
two miles) with a turn signal indicator flashing. The
EMIC uses an electronic message received over the
PCI data bus from the PCM, and a hard wired input
from the turn signal switch circuitry of the multi-
function switch to determine when to sound the turn
signal cancel warning. The PCM uses internal pro-
gramming and distance pulse information received
over a hard wired vehicle speed pulse input from the
BCM to determine the proper vehicle speed messages
to send to the EMIC. The BCM uses an internallyprogrammed electronic pinion factor and a hard
wired input from the rear wheel speed sensor to cal-
culate the proper distance pulse information to send
to the PCM. The electronic pinion factor represents
the proper tire size and axle ratio information for the
vehicle. These chimes will continue to sound until
the turn signal is turned Off, until the hazard warn-
ing system is turned On, or until the ignition switch
is turned to the Off position, whichever occurs first.
²Water-In-Fuel Warning- On vehicles equipped
with a diesel engine, each time the ignition switch is
turned to the On position, the EMIC chime tone gen-
erator will generate a single ªbong-likeº chime tone
the first time an electronic message is received over
the PCI data bus from the PCM requesting ªWater-
in-Fuelº indicator illumination. The PCM uses inter-
nal programming and a hard wired input from the
water-in-fuel sensor to determine the proper water-
in-fuel messages to send to the EMIC. This warning
will only occur once during an ignition cycle.
The EMIC provides chime service for all available
features in the chime warning system. The EMIC
relies upon its internal programming and hard wired
inputs from the turn signal (multi-function) switch,
the washer fluid level switch, and the engine coolant
level sensor (diesel engine only) to provide chime ser-
vice for the turn signal cancel warning, the low
washer fluid warning, and the low coolant warning
respectively. The EMIC relies upon electronic mes-
sage inputs received from other electronic modules
over the PCI data bus network to provide chime ser-
vice for all of the remaining chime warning system
features. Upon receiving the proper inputs, the EMIC
activates the integral chime tone generator to pro-
vide the audible chime warning to the vehicle opera-
tor. The internal programming of the EMIC
determines the priority of each chime request input
that is received, as well as the rate and duration of
each chime tone that is to be generated. See the own-
er's manual in the vehicle glove box for more infor-
mation on the features provided by the chime
warning system.
The hard wired chime warning system inputs to
the EMIC, as well as other hard wired circuits for
this system may be diagnosed and tested using con-
ventional diagnostic tools and procedures. However,
conventional diagnostic methods may not prove con-
clusive in the diagnosis of the EMIC, the PCI data
bus network, or the electronic message inputs used
by the EMIC to provide chime warning system ser-
vice. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means
to diagnose the EMIC, the PCI data bus network,
and the electronic message inputs for the chime
warning system requires the use of a DRBIIItscan
tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

COMMUNICATION
DESCRIPTION
The DaimlerChrysler Programmable Communica-
tion Interface (PCI) data bus system is a single wire
multiplex system used for vehicle communications on
many DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles. Multi-
plexing is a system that enables the transmission of
several messages over a single channel or circuit. All
DaimlerChrysler vehicles use this principle for com-
munication between various microprocessor-based
electronic control modules. The PCI data bus exceeds
the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) J1850
Standard for Class B Multiplexing.
Many of the electronic control modules in a vehicle
require information from the same sensing device. In
the past, if information from one sensing device was
required by several controllers, a wire from each con-
troller needed to be connected in parallel to that sen-
sor. In addition, each controller utilizing analog
sensors required an Analog/Digital (A/D) converter in
order to9read9these sensor inputs. Multiplexing
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.
In addition to reducing wire harness complexity,
component sensor current loads and controller hard-
ware, multiplexing offers a diagnostic advantage. A
multiplex system allows the information flowing
between controllers to be monitored using a diagnos-
tic scan tool. The DaimlerChrysler system allows an
electronic control module to broadcast message data
out onto the bus where all other electronic control
modules can9hear9the messages that are being sent.
When a module hears a message on the data bus
that it requires, it relays that message to its micro-
processor. Each module ignores the messages on the
data bus that are being sent to other electronic con-
trol modules.
OPERATION
Data exchange between modules is achieved by
serial transmission of encoded data over a single wire
broadcast network. The wire colors used for the PCI
data bus circuits are yellow with a violet tracer, or
violet with a yellow tracer, depending upon the appli-
cation. The PCI data bus messages are carried over
the bus in the form of Variable Pulse Width Modu-
lated (VPWM) signals. The PCI data bus speed is an
average 10.4 Kilo-bits per second (Kbps). By compar-

A wiper arm cannot be adjusted or repaired. If
damaged or faulty, the entire wiper arm unit must be
replaced.
OPERATION
The rear wiper arm is designed to mechanically
transmit the motion from the rear wiper motor out-
put shaft to the rear wiper blade. The wiper arm
must be properly indexed to the motor output shaft
in order to maintain the proper wiper blade travel on
the glass. The wiper arm support is designed to lift
and support the rear wiper arm and blade off of the
glass when the rear wiper blade is parked. This sup-
port and the park ramp on the tailgate outer panel
below the glass also provide an alignment reference
to ensure accurate rear wiper arm and blade instal-
lation. The tapered hole in the wiper arm pivot end
is interlocks with the serrations on the outer circum-
ference of the tapered motor output shaft, allowing
positive engagement and finite adjustment of this
connection. A hex nut secures the wiper arm pivot
end to the threads on the rear wiper motor output
shaft and the pivot cover hinges and snaps over this
connection for a neat appearance. The spring-loaded
wiper arm hinge controls the down-force applied
through the tip of the wiper arm to the wiper blade
on the glass. The hook formation on the tip of the
wiper arm provides a cradle for securing and latching
the wiper blade pivot block to the wiper arm.
REMOVAL
(1) Lift the rear wiper arm pivot cover by lifting it
at the rear wiper motor output shaft end of the arm
(Fig. 9).
(2) Remove the nut that secures the rear wiper
arm to the rear wiper motor output shaft.
(3) If necessary, use a battery terminal puller to
disengage the wiper arm from the rear wiper motor
output shaft splines (Fig. 10).
NOTE: Depending upon the size and type of puller
used, it may be necessary to remove the spare tire
from the tailgate. Refer to the owner's manual in the
vehicle glove box for information on removing the
spare tire from the tailgate.
(4) Remove the rear wiper arm pivot end from the
motor output shaft.
INSTALLATION
NOTE: Always install the wiper arm and blade with
the wiper motor in the Park position.
(1) The rear wiper arm must be indexed to the
motor output shaft with the rear wiper motor in the
park position to be properly installed. Place thewiper arm onto the tailgate with the wiper arm sup-
port positioned on the park ramp and the tapered
mounting hole on the pivot end of the arm positioned
over the rear wiper motor output shaft.
(2) Position the tab on the back of the rear wiper
arm support on the tailgate park ramp in the Instal-
lation Position (Fig. 11).
(3) With the wiper arm in the Installation Posi-
tion, push the tapered mounting hole on the pivot
end of the wiper arm down over the rear wiper motor
output shaft.
