1.0 INTRODUCTION
The procedures contained in this manual include
all the specifications, instructions and graphics
needed to diagnose Sprinter body system problems.
The diagnostics in this manual are based on the
failure condition or symptom being present at the
time of diagnosis.
Please follow the recommendations below when
choosing your diagnostic path.
1. First make sure the DRBIIItis communicating
with the appropriate modules; i.e., if the
DRBIIItdisplays a ``No Response'' or a ``Bus6
Signals Open'' condition, you must diagnose that
first.
2. Read DTC's (diagnostic trouble codes) with the
DRBIIIt.
3. If no DTC's are present, identify the customer
complaint.
4. Once the DTC or customer complaint is identi-
fied, locate the matching test in the Table of
Contents and begin to diagnose the symptom.
All component location views are in Section 8.0.
All connector pinouts are in Section 9.0. All sche-
matics are in Section 10.0. All Charts and Graphs
are in Section 11.0.
An * placed before the symptom description indi-
cates a customer complaint without a DTC.
When repairs are required, refer to the appropri-
ate service information for the proper removal and
repair procedure.
Diagnostic procedures change every year. New
diagnostic systems may be added: carryover sys-
tems may be enhanced. READ THIS MANUAL
BEFORE TRYING TO DIAGNOSE A VEHICLE
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE. It is recom-
mended that you review the entire manual to be-
come familiar with all the new and changed diag-
nostic procedures.
This book reflects many suggested changes from
readers of past issues. After using this book, if you
have any comments or suggestions, please fill out
the form in the back of this book and mail it back to
us.
1.1 SYSTEM COVERAGE
This diagnostic procedures manual covers all
Sprinter vehicles.
1.2 SIX-STEP TROUBLESHOOTING
PROCEDURE
Diagnosis of the body system is done in six basic
steps:
²verification of complaint
²verification of any related symptoms
²symptom analysis
²problem isolation
²repair of isolated problem
²verification of proper operation
2.0 IDENTIFICATION OF
SYSTEM
The vehicle systems that are part of the ``body''
system are:
²Airbag
²Automatic Temperature Control
²Communication
²Instrument Cluster
²Power Door Locks/RKE
²Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS)
²Wiper/Rain Sensor
3.0 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND
FUNCTIONAL OPERATION
The body system on the Sprinter consists of a
combination of modules that communicate with
each other using the CAN Bus (controller area
network). Through the CAN Bus, information about
the operation of vehicle components and circuits is
relayed quickly to the appropriate modules. Since
the CAN bus network is for intermodule communi-
cation only, the DRBIIItutilizes K-Lines to estab-
lish communications with each module. It is impor-
tant to note the CAN bus circuits are by no means
tied to the K-Lines. They are completely separate
from each other. For additional information on the
CAN bus and the K-Lines, refer to the Communi-
cation section of this general information.
3.1 AIRBAG SYSTEM
The Sprinter Airbag System contains the follow-
ing components:
²Airbag Control Module (ACM)
²Airbag Warning Indicator (SRS)
²Driver Airbags
²Clockspring
²Passenger Airbag
²Driver Seat Belt Tensioners
²Passenger Seat Belt Tensioners
The Airbag Control Module (ACM) has five major
functions: onboard diagnostics, determine the se-
verity of impacts, squib deployment and Accident
Response, K-Line communications. The ACM is

GENERAL INFORMATION

When supplied with the proper electrical signal, the
inflator discharged the gas directly into the cush-
ion. The airbag cannot be repaired, and must be
replaced if deployed or in any way damaged.
WARNING: THE DRIVER AIRBAG MODULE
CONTAINS ARGON GAS PRESSURIZED TO
OVER 17236.89 Kpa (2500 PSI). DO NOT
ATTEMPT TO DISMANTLE AN AIRBAG
MODULE OR TAMPER WITH ITS INFLATOR.
DO NOT PUNCTURE, INCINERATE, OR
BRING INTO CONTACT WITH ELECTRICITY.
DO NOT STORE AT TEMPERATURE
EXCEEDING 93ÉC (200ÉF). REPLACE AIRBAG
SYSTEM COMPONENTS ONLY WITH PARTS
SPECIFIED IN THE CHRYSLER MOPAR
PARTS CATALOG. SUBSTITUTE PARTS MAY
APPEAR INTER-CHANGEABLE, BUT
INTERNAL DIFFERENCES MAY RESULT IN
INFERIOR OCCUPANT PROTECTION. THE
FASTENERS, SCREWS, AND BOLTS
ORIGINALLY USED FOR THE AIRBAG
SYSTEM COMPONENTS HAVE SPECIAL
COATINGS AND ARE SPECIFICALLY
DESIGNED FOR THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. THEY
MUST NEVER BE REPLACED WITH ANY
SUBSTITUTES. ANY TIME A NEW FASTENER
IS NEEDED, REPLACE IT WITH THE
CORRECT FASTENERS PROVIDED IN THE
SERVICE PACKAGE OR SPECIFIED IN THE
MOPAR PARTS CATALOG. FAILURE TO
TAKE THE PROPER PRECAUTIONS COULD
RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL AIRBAG
DEPLOYMENT AND PERSONAL INJURY OR
DEATH.
3.1.2 CLOCKSPRING
The clockspring is mounted on the steering col-
umn under the steering wheel. This assembly con-
sists of a plastic housing which contains a flat,
ribbon-like, electrically conductive tape that winds
and unwinds with the steering wheel rotation. The
clockspring is used to maintain a continuous elec-
trical circuit between the instrument panel wiring
and the driver airbag and the horn. The clockspring
must be properly centered when it is reinstalled on
the steering column following any service proce-
dure, or it could be damaged. The clockspring can-
not be repaired and it must be replaced.
3.1.3 PASSENGER AIRBAG
The Passenger Airbag is optional equipment.
When supplied with the proper electrical signal the
passenger airbag inflator discharges the gas di-rectly into the cushion. The airbag module cannot
be repaired, and must be replaced if deployed or in
any way damaged.
WARNING: THE PASSENGER AIRBAG
MODULE CONTAINS ARGON GAS
PRESSURIZED TO 17236.89 Kpa (2500 PSI).
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DISMANTLE AN
AIRBAG MODULE OR TAMPER WITH ITS
INFLATOR. DO NOT PUNCTURE,
INCINERATE, OR BRING INTO CONTACT
WITH ELECTRICITY. DO NOT STORE AT
TEMPERATURE EXCEEDING 93ÉC (200ÉF).

SYSTEM COMPONENTS HAVE SPECIAL
COATINGS AND ARE SPECIFICALLY
DESIGNED FOR THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. THEY
MUST NEVER BE REPLACED WITH ANY
SUBSTITUTES. ANY TIME A NEW FASTENER
IS NEEDED, REPLACE IT WITH THE
CORRECT FASTENERS PROVIDED IN THE
SERVICE PACKAGE OR SPECIFIED IN THE
MOPAR PARTS CATALOG. FAILURE TO
TAKE THE PROPER PRECAUTIONS COULD
RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL AIRBAG
DEPLOYMENT AND PERSONAL INJURY OR
DEATH.
3.1.4 SEAT BELT TENSIONERS
Front seat belt systems incorporate a Driver and
optional Passenger Seat Belt Tensioner Retractors.
At the onset of an impact event each tensioner uses
a pyrotechnic device, which is triggered simulta-
neously with the front airbags, to rapidly retract
the seat belts. With the slack removed, the occu-
pant's forward motion in an impact will be reduced
as will the likelihood of contacting interior compo-
nents. After an impact that deploys the airbag, the
seat belt tensioner assembly must be replaced. The
ACM module monitors the Seat Belt Tensioners
circuit resistance and reports active and stored
DTCs if any problem is found. Follow all of the
safety procedures when servicing tensioner.
3.1.5 SPECIAL TOOLS
Airbag load tools 8310 and 8443 are used in some
airbag diagnostic test. The load tools contain fixed
resistive loads, jumpers and adapters. The fixed
3
GENERAL INFORMATION

loads are connected to cables and mounted in a
storage case. The cables can be directly connected to
some airbag system connectors. Jumpers are used
to convert the load tool cable connectors to the other
airbag system connectors. The adapters are con-
nected to the module harness connector to open
shorting clips and protect the connector terminal
during testing. When using the load tool follow all of
the safety procedures in the service information for
disconnecting airbag system components. Inspect
the wiring, connector and terminals for damage or
misalignment. Substitute the airbag load tool in
place of a Driver or Passenger Airbag, seat belt
tensioner, clockspring (use a jumper if needed).
Then follow all of the safety procedures in the
service information for connecting airbag system
components. Read the module active DTCs. If the
module reports NO ACTIVE DTCs the defective
components has been removed from the system and
should be replaced. If the DTC is still active, con-
tinue this process until all components in the circuit
have been tested. Then disconnect the module con-
nector and connect the matching adapter to the
module connector. With all airbags disconnected
and the adapter installed the squib wiring can be
tested for open and shorted conditions.
3.1.6 DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
Airbag diagnostic trouble codes consist of active
and stored codes. If more than one code exists,
diagnostic priority should be given to the active
codes. Each diagnostic trouble code is diagnosed by
following a specific testing procedure. The diagnos-
tic test procedures contain step-by-step instructions
for determining the cause of the trouble codes. It is
not necessary to perform all of the tests in this book
to diagnose an individual code. Always begin by
reading the diagnostic trouble codes with the
DRBIIIt. This will direct you to the specific test(s)
that must be performed. In certain test procedures
within this manual, diagnostic trouble codes are
used as a diagnostic tool.
3.1.6.1 ACTIVE CODES
If the lamp remains on, there could be an active
DTC in the system. The code becomes active as soon
as the malfunction is detected or key-on, whichever
occurs first. An active trouble code indicates an
on-going malfunction. This means that the defect is
currently there every time the airbag control mod-
ule checks that circuit or component. Some DTCs,
Internal Module and squib DTCs, will keep the
indicator illuminated even if they are no longer
active. If the lamp is on and no active codes are
present, cycling the ignition switch off and then on
will refresh the lamp state. It is impossible to erase
an active code.
3.1.6.2 STORED CODES
Airbag codes are automatically stored in the
ACM's memory as soon as the malfunction is de-
tected. A stored code indicates there was an active
code present at some time. Stored diagnostic trou-
ble code will remain stored until erased by the DRB.
If a malfunction is not active while performing a
diagnostic test procedure, the active code diagnostic
test will not locate the source of the problem. In this
case, the stored code can indicate an area to inspect.
Maintain a safe distance from all airbags while
performing the following inspection. If no obvious
problems are found, erase stored codes, and with
the ignition on wiggle the wire harness and connec-
tors, rotate the steering wheel from stop to stop.
Recheck for codes periodically as you work through
the system. This procedure may uncover a malfunc-
tion that is difficult to locate.
3.2 COMMUNICATION
3.2.1 COMMUNICATION K-LINES
The K-Lines are a group of circuits that connect
each control module to the Data Link Connector
(DLC). Each control module is connected to the DLC
with a single K-Line. The DRBIIItuses the K-Line
to communicate with each control module. With the
use of the K-Lines the DRBIIItis able to read each
control modules DTCs, sensor displays, I/Os etc. If
DRBIIItcommunications with a particular control
module is lost, one of the possible causes could be a
fault in the module's K-Line.
NOTE: It is important to note the DRBIIIT
uses the K-Lines for diagnostic and
monitoring functions and is no way
connected to the CAN data bus network.
The following modules that use the K-line on this
vehicle are:
²Airbag Control Module (ACM)
²Automatic Temperature Control (ATC)
²Cabin Heater Module (CHM)
²Central Timer Module (CTM)
²Controller Antilock Brake (CAB)
²Engine Control Module (ECM)
²Heater Booster Module (HBM)
²Instrument Cluster (IC)
²Shifter Assembly (SA)
²Security System Module (SSM)
²Sentry Key Remote Entry Module (SKREEM)
²Transmission Control Module (TCM)

GENERAL INFORMATION

Static Heater Signal
A status of9ON9indicates that the heater module
sees the9Stationary Heating Mode ON9signal after
switching on the heater with the heater timer or the
auxiliary heater switch. A status of9OFF9indicates
that the9Stationary Heating Mode ON9signal is
not present at the heater module.
Heater Booster Mode Signal
A status of9ON9indicates that the heater module
sees the9Heater Booster Mode ON9signal after
switching on the heater with the auxiliary heater
switch. A status of9OFF9indicates that the9Heater
Booster Mode ON9signal is not present at the
heater module.
3.4 INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
The Instrument Cluster has easy-to-read instru-
ments, is capable of CAN bus communication and
provides a diagnostic function. The Instrument
Cluster with analog speedometer, tachometer, fuel
and coolant temperature gauges comes in two ver-
sions.
²Speedometer with outer miles-per-hour (mph)
scale and inner kilometers-per-hour (km/h) scale.
Coolant temperature is indicated in Fahrenheit
(for US).
²Speedometer with outer kilometers-per-hour
(km/h) scale and inner miles-per-hours (mph)
scale. Coolant temperature is indicated in de-
grees Celsius (for Canada).
Below the speedometer, there is a LCD multi-
function indicator in clear view of the driver. Warn-
ing and indicator lights (based on colored light
emitting diodes) are located in the bottom of the
instrument cluster with the exception of the turn
signal indicator lights, ASR warning light and re-
serve fuel warning light. The warning lights for the
seat belt usage and parking brake/brake fluid level
are located in the line above the bottom line. The
indicator that illuminates up when the parking
brake is applied or the brake fluid level is low is
different for U.S. and Canada.
When the key is turned to the 2nd position in the
ignition, the function of the following indicator
lights is checked automatically: High Beam ON,
Preheating, airbag malfunction. In case of a broken
LED of the airbag malfunction light, the seat belt
usage warning light will flash for 6 seconds after
the function check is finished. The Instrument
Cluster is operated with the help of 4 buttons
located below the multifunction indicator. The back-
lighting for the instrument cluster uses yellow
LED's and can be adjusted electronically to daylight
and darkness.The instrument cluster includes a warning
buzzer, which sounds (in addition to a warning light
in some cases) when:
²The headlights are on with the ignition off and
the door opened.
²The driver 's seat belt is not fastened with the
ignition on.
²The key is in the ignition and the door is open.
²Critical ASSYST information is displayed in the
multifunction indicator.
3.5 POWER DOOR LOCKS/RKE
3.5.1 CENTRAL LOCKING
The Central Locking System locks all vehicle
doors if any door is locked from the inside or
mechanically locked with the key from the outside.
However, unlocking any door, in that manner, will
only unlock that particular door. The Master Door
Lock Switch on the dash enables the operator to
lock/unlock all doors. By pressing the top of the
rocker type switch once, all doors will lock. Pressing
the switch again will unlock all doors. Pressing the
lower part of the switch once will lock all doors
except the driver door. Pressing the lower part
again will unlock all doors except the driver door. If
the Central Locking System automatically unlocks
after the vehicle was attempted to be locked, at
least one door is not properly closed.
There are two LED indicators in the Master Door
Lock Switch. The left indicator is for the driver door
and the right indicator is for all passenger/cargo
doors. These will indicate if a door is ajar or if the
doors are locked. The door ajar switches are part of
the door lock motor and are mounted in the door
latch assembly.
Inside each door lock motor there is a command
switch. The command switch is operated by the
plunger and signals any change in the lock status,
locked or unlocked. Each command switch is wired
to the Central Timer Module (CTM) sometimes
referred to as the Central Locking Module. If all
doors are closed and are unlocked, and any door is
locked by the key or the interior handle, thereby
changing the command switch, all doors will be
locked. If one of the door lock motors does not reach
the end position after a locking command, it will be
detected by the CTM (command switch not in
9Locked9position) and the vehicle will be unlocked.
3.5.2 REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY (RKE)
The SKREEM is a combination of the Remote
Keyless Entry Module and the SKIM (Sentry Key
Immobilizer Module). It is located behind the In-
strument Cluster and has an antenna that goes up
