GROUND STRAP
DESCRIPTION
Radio noise suppression devices are factory-in-
stalled standard equipment on this vehicle. Radio
Frequency Interference (RFI) and ElectroMagnetic
Interference (EMI) can be produced by any on-board
or external source of electromagnetic energy. These
electromagnetic energy sources can radiate electro-
magnetic signals through the air, or conduct them
through the vehicle electrical system.
When the audio system converts RFI or EMI to an
audible acoustic wave form, it is referred to as radio
noise. This undesirable radio noise is generally man-
ifested in the form of “buzzing,” “hissing,” “popping,”
“clicking,” “crackling,” and/or “whirring” sounds. In
Fig. 7 RADIO most cases, RFI and EMI radio noise can be sup-
(4) Disconnect the antenna cable by pulling the pressed using a combination of vehicle and compo-
locking antenna connector away from the radio (Fig. nent grounding, filtering and shielding techniques.
8). This vehicle is equipped with factory-installed radio
noise suppression devices that were designed to min-
imize exposure to typical sources of RFI and EMI;
thereby, minimizing radio noise complaints.
Factory-installed radio noise suppression is accom-
plished primarily through circuitry or devices that
are integral to the factory-installed radios, audio
power amplifiers and other on-board electrical com-
ponents such as generators, wiper motors, blower
motors, and fuel pumps that have been found to be
potential sources of RFI or EMI. External radio noise
suppression devices that are used on this vehicle to
control RFI or EMI, and can be serviced, include the
following:
• Engine-to-body ground strap - This length of
braided ground strap has an eyelet terminal connec-
tor crimped to each end. One end is secured to the
engine cylinder head(s). The other is secured to the

RADIO NOISE SUPPRESSION GROUND STRAP (Continued)
OPERATION
There are two common strategies that can be used
to suppress Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) and
ElectroMagnetic Interference (EMI) radio noise. The
first suppression strategy involves preventing the
production of RFI and EMI electromagnetic signals
at their sources. The second suppression strategy
involves preventing the reception of RFI and EMI
electromagnetic signals by the audio system compo-
nents.
The use of braided ground straps in key locations
is part of the RFI and EMI prevention strategy.
These ground straps ensure adequate ground paths,
particularly for high current components such as
many of those found in the starting, charging, igni-
tion, engine control and transmission control sys-
tems. An insufficient ground path for any of these Fig. 9 GROUND STRAP TO ENGINE - 2.4L

caused by induced voltages created as the high cur- 2 - BOLT
rent seeks alternative ground paths through compo-
nents or circuits intended for use by, or in close
proximity to the audio system components or circuits.
Preventing the reception of RFI and EMI is accom-
plished by ensuring that the audio system compo-
nents are correctly installed in the vehicle. Loose,
corroded or improperly soldered wire harness connec-
tions, improperly routed wiring and inadequate audio
system component grounding can all contribute to
the reception of RFI and EMI. A properly grounded
antenna body and radio chassis, as well as a shielded
antenna coaxial cable with clean and tight connec-
tions will each help reduce the potential for reception
of RFI and EMI.

REMOTE SWITCHES
DESCRIPTION
OPERATION
The six switches in the two remote radio switch units
are normally open, resistor multiplexed momentary
switches that are hard wired to the Body Control Mod-
ule (BCM) through the clockspring. The BCM sends a
five volt reference signal to both switch units on one
circuit, and senses the status of all of the switches by
reading the voltage drop on a second circuit.
When the BCM senses an input (voltage drop) from
any one of the remote radio switches, it sends the
proper switch status messages on the Programmable
Communication Interface (PCI) data bus network to
the radio receiver. The electronic circuitry within the
radio receiver is programmed to respond to these
remote radio switch status messages by adjusting the
radio settings as requested. For diagnosis of the
BCM or the PCI data bus, the use of a DRB scan tool
and the proper Diagnostic Procedures manual are Fig. 14 Remote Radio Switches
recommended. 1 - BLACK (LEFT) SWITCH
For more information on the features and control 2 - WHITE (RIGHT) SWITCH
functions for each of the remote radio switches, refer
to the owner’s manual.
(2) Use an ohmmeter to check the switch resis-
tances as shown in the Remote Radio Switch Test
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - REMOTE chart. If the remote radio switch resistances check OK,
SWITCHES go to Step 3. If not OK, replace the faulty switch.
Any diagnosis of the Audio system should
begin with the use of the DRB diagnostic tool. REMOTE RADIO SWITCH TEST TABLE

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 to 9read9 these 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

GENERATOR DECOUPLER
PULLEY
DESCRIPTION
The generator decoupler is used only with
certain engines. The decoupler is used in place of
the standard generator drive pulley (Fig. 5).
OPERATION
The generator decoupler is used only with
certain engines. The decoupler (Fig. 5). is a one-
way clutch designed to help reduce belt tension fluc-
tuation, vibration, reduce fatigue loads, improve belt
life, reduce hubloads on components, and reduce
noise. Dry operation is used (no grease or lubricants).
The decoupler is not temperature sensitive and also
has a low sensitivity to electrical load. The decoupler
is a non-serviceable item and is to be replaced as an
assembly.
REMOVAL
The generator decoupler is used only with
certain engines.
Two different type generator decoupler pulleys are
used. One can be identified by the use of machined
splines (Fig. 6). The other can be identified by a hex
opening (Fig. 7) and will not use splines.
Different special tools are required to service each
different decoupler. Refer to following procedure.

OPERATION
The ISO relay consists of an electromagnetic coil, a
resistor or diode, and three (two fixed and one mov-
able) electrical contacts. The movable (common feed)
relay contact is held against one of the fixed contacts
(normally closed) by spring pressure. When electro-
magnetic coil is energized, it draws the movable con-
tact away from normally closed fixed contact, and
holds it against the other (normally open) fixed con-
tact.
When electromagnetic coil is de-energized, spring
pressure returns movable contact to normally closed
position. The resistor or diode is connected in parallel
with electromagnetic coil within relay, and helps to
dissipate voltage spikes produced when coil is de-en-
ergized.

The ISO relay consists of an electromagnetic coil, a
resistor or diode, and three (two fixed and one mov-
able) electrical contacts. The movable (common feed)
relay contact is held against one of the fixed contacts
(normally closed) by spring pressure. When the elec-
tromagnetic coil is energized, it draws the movable
contact away from the normally closed fixed contact,
and holds it against the other (normally open) fixed
contact.
When the electromagnetic coil is de-energized,
spring pressure returns the movable contact to the
normally closed position. The resistor is connected in
parallel with the electromagnetic coil in the relay,
and helps to dissipate voltage spikes that are pro-
duced when the coil is de-energized.

OPERATION
There are three positions that can be selected with
each of the heated seat switches: Off, Low, and High.
When the front of the switch rocker is fully
depressed, the High position is selected and the high
position LED indicator illuminates. When the rear of
the switch rocker is fully depressed, the Low position
is selected and the low position LED indicator illumi-
nates. When the switch rocker is depressed a second
time in either direction, Off is selected and both LED
indicators are extinguished.
Both switches provide separate resistor multi-
plexed hard wire inputs to the Heated Seat Module
to indicate the selected switch position. The heated
seat module monitors the switch inputs and responds
to the heated seat switch status messages by control-
ling the output to the seat heater elements of the
selected seat. The Low heat position set point is
about 36° C (97° F), and the High heat position set
point is about 41° C (105° F).

KNOCK SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
The 2 knock sensors are bolted into the cylinder
block under the intake manifold. The sensors are
used only with the 3.7L engine.
OPERATION
Two knock sensors are used on the 3.7L V-6
engine; one for each cylinder bank. When the knock
sensor detects a knock in one of the cylinders on the
corresponding bank, it sends an input signal to the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM). In response, the
PCM retards ignition timing for all cylinders by a
scheduled amount.
Knock sensors contain a piezoelectric material
Fig. 18 IGNITION COIL LOCATION - 3.7L which constantly vibrates and sends an input voltage
1 - IGNITION COIL (signal) to the PCM while the engine operates. As the
2 - COIL MOUNTING NUT intensity of the crystal’s vibration increases, the
knock sensor output voltage also increases.
The voltage signal produced by the knock sensor
increases with the amplitude of vibration. The PCM
receives the knock sensor voltage signal as an input.
If the signal rises above a predetermined level, the
PCM will store that value in memory and retard
ignition timing to reduce engine knock. If the knock
sensor voltage exceeds a preset value, the PCM
retards ignition timing for all cylinders. It is not a
selective cylinder retard.
The PCM ignores knock sensor input during engine
idle conditions. Once the engine speed exceeds a
specified value, knock retard is allowed.
Knock retard uses its own short term and long
term memory program.
Long term memory stores previous detonation
information in its battery-backed RAM. The maxi-
mum authority that long term memory has over tim-
ing retard can be calibrated.
Short term memory is allowed to retard timing up

SPARK PLUG
DESCRIPTION
Resistor type spark plugs are used.
Spark plug resistance values range from 6,000 to
20,000 ohms (when checked with at least a 1000 volt
spark plug tester). Do not use an ohmmeter to
check the resistance values of the spark plugs.
Inaccurate readings will result.
OPERATION
To prevent possible pre-ignition and/or mechanical
engine damage, the correct type/heat range/number
spark plug must be used.
Always use the recommended torque when tighten-
ing spark plugs. This is especially true when plugs
are equipped with tapered seats. Incorrect torque can
distort the spark plug and change plug gap. It can

OPERATION
The controller board and logic circuitry of the
headlamp leveling motor will energize the motor and
extend or retract the motor pushrod through the
integral screw-drive transmission based upon the
voltage signal input received from the resistor multi-
plexed headlamp leveling switch. The ball formation
on the end of the headlamp leveling motor pushrod is
snapped into a socket formation on the back of the
movable reflector within the headlamp unit housing.
The headlamp leveling motors and switch have a
path to ground at all times. The headlamp leveling
components 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.
Because of active electronic elements within the Fig. 32 Headlamp Leveling Motor Remove/Install

OPERATION
HEADLAMP LEVELING The headlamp leveling switch receives battery cur-
SWITCH rent on a fused park lamp relay output circuit from a
fuse in the Junction Block (JB) whenever the park
DESCRIPTION lamp relay is energized (park lamps are turned On).
The switch receives a path to ground through a splice
block located in the instrument panel wire harness
with an eyelet terminal connector that is secured by
a nut to a ground stud on the driver side instrument
panel end bracket near the JB. The only output from
the switch is a voltage signal that it provides to the
headlamp leveling motors on a headlamp adjust sig-
nal circuit. Each switch position selects a different
tap on a series resistor within the switch to provide a
different voltage signal to the leveling motors. The
higher the switch position number, the higher the
output voltage level.
The headlamp leveling switch can be tested using
conventional diagnostic tools and methods.

OPERATION
The controller board and logic circuitry of the
headlamp leveling motor will energize the motor and
extend or retract the motor pushrod through the
integral screw-drive transmission based upon the
voltage signal input received from the resistor multi-
plexed headlamp leveling switch. The ball formation
on the end of the headlamp leveling motor pushrod is
snapped into a socket formation on the back of the
movable reflector within the headlamp unit housing.
The headlamp leveling motors and switch have a
path to ground at all times. The headlamp leveling
components 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.
Because of active electronic elements within the Fig. 32 Headlamp Leveling Motor Remove/Install

OPERATION
HEADLAMP LEVELING The headlamp leveling switch receives battery cur-
SWITCH rent on a fused park lamp relay output circuit from a
fuse in the Junction Block (JB) whenever the park
DESCRIPTION lamp relay is energized (park lamps are turned On).
The switch receives a path to ground through a splice
block located in the instrument panel wire harness
with an eyelet terminal connector that is secured by
a nut to a ground stud on the driver side instrument
panel end bracket near the JB. The only output from
the switch is a voltage signal that it provides to the
headlamp leveling motors on a headlamp adjust sig-
nal circuit. Each switch position selects a different
tap on a series resistor within the switch to provide a
different voltage signal to the leveling motors. The
higher the switch position number, the higher the
output voltage level.
The headlamp leveling switch can be tested using
conventional diagnostic tools and methods.

DESCRIPTION
COMPASS DISPLAY
To display the vehicle direction, the compass mini-
trip computer processes information from a sensor
internal to the module. The compass mini-trip com-
puter is self- calibrating and requires only variance
adjustments dependent upon location. The compass
mini-trip computer displays the label CAL whenever
the compass is in the fast calibration mode.
If all three of the following conditions listed below
occur, the vehicle must be demagnetized.
• Compass portion of the display is blank
• Temperature portion of the display is OK
• The label CAL is illuminated
If demagnetizing the vehicle is needed, refer to the
demagnetizing procedure in this section. After
demagnetizing, to calibrate the compass refer to Cal-

DESCRIPTION
seat system for this vehicle includes the following
major components, which are described in further
detail later in this section:
• Power Seat Switches - Two power seat
switches are used per vehicle, one for the driver and
one for the front seat passenger. Refer to the left and
right power seat switch information later in this sec-
tion.
• Power Seat Tracks - Two power seat tracks
are used per vehicle, one for the driver and one for
the front seat passenger seats. Refer to the power
seat track information later in this section.
• Circuit Breaker - An automatic resetting cir-
cuit breaker (# 1) is located in the Junction Block
and is used to protect the power seat system from
current overload.
Hard wired circuitry connects the power seat sys-
tem components to each other through 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 differ-
ent methods. These circuits may be connected to each
other, to the vehicle electrical system and to the

Individually controlled, electrically powered front combination of soldered splices, splice block connec-
seats are available as factory-installed equipment on tors and many different types of wire harness termi-
this model. Vehicles with this option can be visually nal connectors and insulators. Refer to the Wiring
identified by the two separate power seat switches, section of this manual for more information. The wir-
mounted on each of the front seat cushion side ing information includes wiring diagrams, proper
shields (Fig. 1). The power seat system option allows wire and connector repair procedures, further details
the front seating positions to be electrically adjusted on wire harness routing and retention, as well as
pin-out and location views for the various wire har-
ness connectors, splices and grounds.

POWER SEATS (Continued)
OPERATION
The power seat system receives battery current
through a fuse in the Power Distribution Center
(PDC) and a circuit breaker in the Junction Block,
regardless of the ignition switch position.
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 appropri-
ate 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.
Refer to the owner’s manual in the vehicle glove
box for more information on the features, use and
operation of the power seat system.

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

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.

CLEANUP PROCEDURE
Following a supplemental restraint deployment,
the vehicle interior will contain a powdery residue.
This residue consists primarily of harmless particu-
late by-products of the small pyrotechnic charge that
initiates the propellant used to deploy a supplemen-
tal restraint. However, this residue may also contain
traces of sodium hydroxide powder, a chemical
by-product of the propellant material that is used to
generate the inert gas that inflates the airbag. Since
sodium hydroxide powder can irritate the skin, eyes,
nose, or throat, be sure to wear safety glasses, rubber Fig. 4 Vacuum Heater and A/C Outlets - Typical

of these airbags unless you are sure of complete
deployment. Refer to AIRBAG SQUIB STATUS . Refer
to the Hazardous Substance Control System for
proper disposal procedures. Dispose of all non-de-
ployed and deployed airbags in a manner consistent
with state, provincial, local, and federal regulations.

DESCRIPTION
A cavity in the center of the molded black plastic
impact sensor housing contains the electronic cir-
cuitry of the sensor which includes an electronic com-
munication chip and an electronic impact sensor.
Potting material fills the cavity to seal and protect
the internal electronic circuitry and components. The
front impact sensors are each connected to the vehi-
cle electrical system through a dedicated take out
and connector of the headlamp and dash wire har-
ness.
The impact sensors cannot be repaired or adjusted
and, if damaged or faulty, they must be replaced. The
mounting bracket for the left front impact sensor on
models with a diesel engine is serviced as a unit with
that sensor.

OPERATION
The seat belt switches are designed to provide a
status signal to the seat belt switch sense inputs of
the Airbag Control Module (ACM) indicating whether
the front seat belts are fastened. The ACM uses the
seat belt switch inputs as a factor in determining
what level of force with which it should deploy the
multistage driver and passenger airbags. In addition,
the ACM sends electronic messages to the ElectroMe-
chanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) to control the
seat belt indicator based upon the status of the Fig. 34 Seat Belt Tensioner

this information as an input for the Vehicle Theft
Security System (VTSS) operation.
The door cylinder lock switches and circuits can be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and
methods.
OPERATION
The hood ajar switch is normally held open as the
spring-loaded switch plunger is depressed by the
striker on the hood panel when the hood panel is
closed and latched. When the hood is opened, the
spring-loaded switch plunger extends from the switch
body and the switch contacts are closed. The hood
ajar switch is connected in series between ground
and the hood ajar switch sense input of the Body
Control Module (BCM). The BCM uses an internal
resistor pull up to monitor the state of the hood ajar
switch contacts. The hood ajar switch can be diag-
nosed using conventional diagnostic tools and meth-
ods.

wiper pivot in order to maintain the proper wiper blade
travel on the glass. The tapered mounting hole in the
wiper arm pivot end interlocks with the serrations on
the tapered outer circumference of the wiper pivot shaft,
allowing positive engagement and finite adjustment of
this connection. The mounting nut locks the wiper arm
to the threaded stud of the wiper pivot shaft. The
spring-loaded wiper arm hinge controls the down-force
applied through the tip of the wiper arm to the wiper

vides a clearly marked and readily accessible point
from which to add washer fluid to the reservoir. The
washer/pump motor unit is located in a sump area
near the front of the reservoir to be certain that
washer fluid will be available to the pump as the
fluid level in the reservoir becomes depleted. The

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 Fig. 9 Rear Wiper Arm Remove/Install

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.

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
