DESCRIPTION
When an RKE lock message is sent to the instrument cluster, the instrument cluster actuates the
door locks, the interior lighting is turned off, the horn chirps (if this feature is enabled), the park
lamps flash (if this feature is enabled) and, if the vehicle is so equipped, the Vehicle Theft Security
System (VTSS) is armed. When an RKE unlock message is sent to the instrument cluster, the
instrument cluster actuates the driver side front door (or all doors if this feature is enabled) unlock,
the interior lighting is turned on and, if the vehicle is so equipped, the VTSS is disarmed.
When an RKE panic message is sent to the instrument cluster, the instrument cluster actuates the
driver side front door (or all doors if this feature is enabled) unlock, the interior lighting is turned on
and, if the vehicle is so equipped, the VTSS is disarmed. The panic message will also cause the
exterior lamps (including the headlights) to flash, and the horn to sound for about three minutes, or
until a second panic message is sent to the instrument cluster. A vehicle speed of about 25.7
Km/h(15 mph) will also cancel the panic event.
Operation
OPERATION
Whenever the vehicle battery power is interrupted, the Remote Keyless Module (RKE) Module will
retain all vehicle access codes in its memory. When replacing or adding a key fob transmitter
(maximum of 4) a scan tool is required to program the RKE Module to accept the new Vehicle
Access Code if a customer owned transmitter is not available.
If a functioning transmitter is available, See: Accessories and Optional Equipment/Antitheft and
Alarm Systems/Keyless Entry/Keyless Entry Transmitter/Testing and Inspection/Programming and
Relearning

Keyless Entry Module: Description and Operation Sentry Key Remote Entry Module
Description
DESCRIPTION
The Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM) (1) is sometimes referred to as the Wireless
Control Module (WCM). The SKREEM is the primary component of the Sentry Key Immobilizer
System (SKIS). It is also the receiver for the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system. The SKREEM is
located on the right side of the steering column, near the ignition lock cylinder housing and is
concealed beneath the steering column shrouds. The molded black plastic housing for the
SKREEM has an integral molded plastic halo-like antenna ring (4) that extends from the bottom.
When the SKREEM is properly installed on the steering column, the antenna ring is oriented
around the circumference of the ignition lock cylinder housing.
A single integral connector receptacle (3) is located just behind the antenna ring on the bottom of
the SKREEM housing. An integral molded plastic mounting tab (2) on the rear corner of the
SKREEM housing has a hole in the center through which a screw passes to secure the unit to the
steering column. The SKREEM is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a single take
out and connector of the instrument panel wire harness.
Two SKREEM modules are used: one for vehicles equipped with RKE only, and one for vehicles
equipped with RKE and SKIS. The SKREEM cannot be adjusted or repaired. If ineffective or
damaged, the entire SKREEM unit must be replaced.
Operation
OPERATION
The Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM) (also known as the Wireless Control
Module/WCM) contains a Radio Frequency (RF) transceiver and a microprocessor. The SKREEM
transmits RF signals to, and receives RF signals from the Sentry Key transponder through a tuned
antenna enclosed within the molded plastic antenna ring integral to the SKREEM housing. If this
antenna ring is not mounted properly around the ignition lock cylinder housing, communication
problems between the SKREEM and the transponder may arise. These communication problems
will result in Sentry Key transponder-related faults.
The SKREEM also serves as the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) RF receiver. See: Body and
Frame/Locks/Power Locks/Description and Operation/Description . The SKREEM communicates
over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus with the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster
(EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN), the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM)/Engine Control Module (ECM) or the diagnostic scan tool.
The SKREEM and the PCM/ECM both use software that includes a rolling code algorithm strategy,
which helps to reduce the possibility of unauthorized Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS)
disarming. The rolling code algorithm ensures security by preventing an override of the SKIS
through the unauthorized substitution of the SKREEM or the PCM/ECM. However, the use of this
strategy also means that replacement of either the SKREEM or the PCM/ECM units will require a
system initialization procedure to restore system operation.
The SKREEM retains in memory the ID numbers of any Sentry Key transponder that is
programmed into it. A maximum of eight Sentry Key transponders can be programmed into the
SKREEM. For added system security, each SKREEM is programmed with a unique Secret Key
code. This code is stored in memory, sent over the CAN data bus to the PCM or ECM, and is
encoded to the transponder of every Sentry Key that is programmed into the SKREEM. Therefore,
the Secret Key code is a common element that is found in every component of the SKIS.
Another security code called a PIN, is used to gain access to the SKREEM Secured Access Mode.
The Secured Access Mode is required during service
Dodge Ram 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (Truck V8-4.7L (2008))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Accessories and Optional Equipment > Keyless
Entry Module > Component Information > Description and Operation > Remote Keyless Entry Module > Page 17
to perform the SKIS initialization and Sentry Key transponder programming procedures. The
SKREEM also stores the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) in its memory, which it learns through
a CAN data bus message from the PCM or ECM during SKIS initialization.
In the event that a SKREEM replacement is required, the Secret Key code can be transferred to
the new SKREEM from the PCM or ECM using a diagnostic scan tool and the SKIS initialization
procedure. Proper completion of the SKIS initialization will allow the existing Sentry Keys to be
programmed into the new SKREEM so that new keys will not be required. In the event that the
original Secret Key code cannot be recovered, SKREEM replacement will also require new Sentry
Keys. The diagnostic scan tool will alert the technician during the SKIS initialization procedure if
new Sentry Keys are required.
When the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, the SKREEM transmits an RF signal to excite
the transponder in the ignition key. The SKREEM then waits for an RF signal response from the
transponder. If the response received identifies the key as valid, the SKREEM sends an electronic
valid key message to the PCM/ECM over the CAN bus. If the response received identifies the key
as invalid or if no response is received from the key transponder, the SKREEM sends an invalid
key message to the PCM/ECM. The PCM/ECM will enable or disable engine operation based upon
the status of the SKREEM messages. It is important to note that the default condition in the PCM or
ECM is an invalid key ; therefore, if no message is received from the SKREEM by the PCM or
ECM, the engine will be disabled and the vehicle immobilized after two seconds of running.
The SKREEM also sends security indicator request messages to the EMIC over the CAN data bus
to tell the EMIC how to operate the security indicator. The security indicator request message from
the SKREEM tells the EMIC to turn the indicator ON for about three seconds each time the ignition
switch is turned to the ON position as a bulb test. After completion of the bulb test, the SKREEM
sends security indicator request messages to the EMIC to turn the indicator OFF, turn the indicator
ON, or to flash the indicator ON and OFF. If the security indicator flashes or stays ON solid after
the bulb test, it signifies a SKIS fault. If the SKREEM detects a system malfunction or the SKIS has
become ineffective, the security indicator will stay ON solid. If the SKREEM detects an invalid key
or if a key transponder-related fault exists, the security indicator will flash. If the vehicle is equipped
with the Customer Learn transponder programming feature, the SKREEM will also send messages
to the EMIC to flash the security indicator whenever the Customer Learn programming mode is
being utilized. .
The SKIS performs a self-test each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, and will
store fault information in the form of a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) in SKREEM memory if a
system malfunction is detected. The hard wired circuits of the SKREEM may be diagnosed using
conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the
SKREEM or the electronic controls or communication between other modules and devices that
provide some features of the SKIS. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose
the SKREEM or the electronic controls and communication related to SKREEM operation requires
the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Winch Relay: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION
RELAY PACK
Electrical operation of the control assembly consists of four heavy duty relays, a thermal-switch
located on the motor armature brush holder and a Low Voltage Interrupt (LVI) located in the control
assembly. The thermal-switch interrupts the power-in function and the LVI affects both the power-in
and power-out functions and must be reset by allowing the charging circuit voltage to rise above 10
volts for more than 30 seconds. The thermal switch is reset only by allowing the winch motor to
cool adequately (about 30 minutes). Relay number 1 and 3 control current flow through the field
windings and relay number 2 and 4 supply current to the motor armature.
Operation
In the power-out mode, relay number 2 and 3 are energized by the remote control switch. Current
flows from the positive battery terminal through relay number 3 then through the black motor cable
to the number 2 and number 1 field windings. From the black motor cable current then flows
through solenoid number 2 to the motor armature to ground.
In power-in mode, relay number 1 and 4 are energized. Current again flows from the battery
positive cable, but this time current flows through solenoid number 1 then through field winding
number 1. Current flowing in the reverse direction through the field windings cause the motor to
turn in the opposite direction. From the red motor cable current then flows through relay number 4
to the black cable going to the motor armature to ground.

DESCRIPTION
When an RKE lock message is sent to the instrument cluster, the instrument cluster actuates the
door locks, the interior lighting is turned off, the horn chirps (if this feature is enabled), the park
lamps flash (if this feature is enabled) and, if the vehicle is so equipped, the Vehicle Theft Security
System (VTSS) is armed. When an RKE unlock message is sent to the instrument cluster, the
instrument cluster actuates the driver side front door (or all doors if this feature is enabled) unlock,
the interior lighting is turned on and, if the vehicle is so equipped, the VTSS is disarmed.
When an RKE panic message is sent to the instrument cluster, the instrument cluster actuates the
driver side front door (or all doors if this feature is enabled) unlock, the interior lighting is turned on
and, if the vehicle is so equipped, the VTSS is disarmed. The panic message will also cause the
exterior lamps (including the headlights) to flash, and the horn to sound for about three minutes, or
until a second panic message is sent to the instrument cluster. A vehicle speed of about 25.7
Km/h(15 mph) will also cancel the panic event.
Operation
OPERATION
Whenever the vehicle battery power is interrupted, the Remote Keyless Module (RKE) Module will
retain all vehicle access codes in its memory. When replacing or adding a key fob transmitter
(maximum of 4) a scan tool is required to program the RKE Module to accept the new Vehicle
Access Code if a customer owned transmitter is not available.
If a functioning transmitter is available, See: Accessories and Optional Equipment/Antitheft and

Keyless Entry Module: Description and Operation Sentry Key Remote Entry Module
Description
DESCRIPTION
The Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM) (1) is sometimes referred to as the Wireless
Control Module (WCM). The SKREEM is the primary component of the Sentry Key Immobilizer
System (SKIS). It is also the receiver for the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system. The SKREEM is
located on the right side of the steering column, near the ignition lock cylinder housing and is
concealed beneath the steering column shrouds. The molded black plastic housing for the
SKREEM has an integral molded plastic halo-like antenna ring (4) that extends from the bottom.
When the SKREEM is properly installed on the steering column, the antenna ring is oriented
around the circumference of the ignition lock cylinder housing.
A single integral connector receptacle (3) is located just behind the antenna ring on the bottom of
the SKREEM housing. An integral molded plastic mounting tab (2) on the rear corner of the
SKREEM housing has a hole in the center through which a screw passes to secure the unit to the
steering column. The SKREEM is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a single take
out and connector of the instrument panel wire harness.
Two SKREEM modules are used: one for vehicles equipped with RKE only, and one for vehicles
equipped with RKE and SKIS. The SKREEM cannot be adjusted or repaired. If ineffective or
damaged, the entire SKREEM unit must be replaced.
Operation
OPERATION
The Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM) (also known as the Wireless Control
Module/WCM) contains a Radio Frequency (RF) transceiver and a microprocessor. The SKREEM
transmits RF signals to, and receives RF signals from the Sentry Key transponder through a tuned
antenna enclosed within the molded plastic antenna ring integral to the SKREEM housing. If this
antenna ring is not mounted properly around the ignition lock cylinder housing, communication
problems between the SKREEM and the transponder may arise. These communication problems
will result in Sentry Key transponder-related faults.
The SKREEM also serves as the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) RF receiver. See: Body and
Frame/Locks/Power Locks/Description and Operation/Description . The SKREEM communicates
over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus with the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster
(EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN), the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM)/Engine Control Module (ECM) or the diagnostic scan tool.
The SKREEM and the PCM/ECM both use software that includes a rolling code algorithm strategy,
which helps to reduce the possibility of unauthorized Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS)
disarming. The rolling code algorithm ensures security by preventing an override of the SKIS
through the unauthorized substitution of the SKREEM or the PCM/ECM. However, the use of this
strategy also means that replacement of either the SKREEM or the PCM/ECM units will require a
system initialization procedure to restore system operation.
The SKREEM retains in memory the ID numbers of any Sentry Key transponder that is
programmed into it. A maximum of eight Sentry Key transponders can be programmed into the
SKREEM. For added system security, each SKREEM is programmed with a unique Secret Key
code. This code is stored in memory, sent over the CAN data bus to the PCM or ECM, and is
encoded to the transponder of every Sentry Key that is programmed into the SKREEM. Therefore,
the Secret Key code is a common element that is found in every component of the SKIS.
Another security code called a PIN, is used to gain access to the SKREEM Secured Access Mode.
The Secured Access Mode is required during service
Dodge Ram 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (Truck V8-4.7L (2008))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Body and Frame > Keyless Entry Module >
Component Information > Description and Operation > Remote Keyless Entry Module > Page 76
to perform the SKIS initialization and Sentry Key transponder programming procedures. The
SKREEM also stores the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) in its memory, which it learns through
a CAN data bus message from the PCM or ECM during SKIS initialization.
In the event that a SKREEM replacement is required, the Secret Key code can be transferred to
the new SKREEM from the PCM or ECM using a diagnostic scan tool and the SKIS initialization
procedure. Proper completion of the SKIS initialization will allow the existing Sentry Keys to be
programmed into the new SKREEM so that new keys will not be required. In the event that the
original Secret Key code cannot be recovered, SKREEM replacement will also require new Sentry
Keys. The diagnostic scan tool will alert the technician during the SKIS initialization procedure if
new Sentry Keys are required.
When the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, the SKREEM transmits an RF signal to excite
the transponder in the ignition key. The SKREEM then waits for an RF signal response from the
transponder. If the response received identifies the key as valid, the SKREEM sends an electronic
valid key message to the PCM/ECM over the CAN bus. If the response received identifies the key
as invalid or if no response is received from the key transponder, the SKREEM sends an invalid
key message to the PCM/ECM. The PCM/ECM will enable or disable engine operation based upon
the status of the SKREEM messages. It is important to note that the default condition in the PCM or
ECM is an invalid key ; therefore, if no message is received from the SKREEM by the PCM or
ECM, the engine will be disabled and the vehicle immobilized after two seconds of running.
The SKREEM also sends security indicator request messages to the EMIC over the CAN data bus
to tell the EMIC how to operate the security indicator. The security indicator request message from
the SKREEM tells the EMIC to turn the indicator ON for about three seconds each time the ignition
switch is turned to the ON position as a bulb test. After completion of the bulb test, the SKREEM
sends security indicator request messages to the EMIC to turn the indicator OFF, turn the indicator
ON, or to flash the indicator ON and OFF. If the security indicator flashes or stays ON solid after
the bulb test, it signifies a SKIS fault. If the SKREEM detects a system malfunction or the SKIS has
become ineffective, the security indicator will stay ON solid. If the SKREEM detects an invalid key
or if a key transponder-related fault exists, the security indicator will flash. If the vehicle is equipped
with the Customer Learn transponder programming feature, the SKREEM will also send messages
to the EMIC to flash the security indicator whenever the Customer Learn programming mode is
being utilized. .
The SKIS performs a self-test each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, and will
store fault information in the form of a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) in SKREEM memory if a
system malfunction is detected. The hard wired circuits of the SKREEM may be diagnosed using
conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the
SKREEM or the electronic controls or communication between other modules and devices that
provide some features of the SKIS. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose
the SKREEM or the electronic controls and communication related to SKREEM operation requires
the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

SUBJECT: No Engine Crank Or No Engine Start Due To Electronic Lockup Of The WCM /
SKREEM
OVERVIEW: This bulletin involves the replacement of the Wireless Control Module (WCM), and if
equipped, the replacement of the Electric Steering Column Lock (ELV). The WCM is also referred
to as the Sentry Key Remote Entry Module (SKREEM).
MODELS:
2007 - 2008 (DR/DH/D1/DC/DM) Ram Truck (1500/2500/3500/4500/5500)
2007 - 2008 (JK) Wrangler
2007 - 2008 (J1) Sebring (China)
2007 - 2008 (JS) Avenger/Sebring
2007 - 2008 (KA) Nitro
2008 (KK) Liberty/Cherokee
2007 - 2008 (MK) Compass/Patriot
2007 - 2008 (PM) Caliber
2006 - 2008 (PT) Chrysler PT Cruiser
NOTE:
This bulletin applies to vehicles built on or before May 05, 2008 (MDH 0505XX).
SYMPTOM/CONDITION: The customer will experience a no engine crank AND a no engine start
condition. Also, the remote keyless entry (RKE) system will not operate. This condition may be due
to an electrostatic discharge (ESD) from the ignition key into the Wireless Control Module (WCM),
causing the WCM to electronically lockup. This condition may occur more frequently in dry and/or
cold weather conditions where a sufficient electrostatic charge is more easily produced. This
condition is corrected by the replacement of the WCM.
DIAGNOSIS:
1. With the condition present (i.e. the vehicle in the no crank / no start condition), connect the
StarSCAN(R) scan tool to the vehicle.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON position, and power up the StarSCAN(R).
3. If the WCM is electronically locked up, the StarSCAN(R) will display the WCM as being "off bus".
4. If the no crank / no start condition is present, and the WCM is "off bus", then reset the WCM by
temporarily removing the IOD fuse (with the key out of the ignition switch), wait for 10 seconds and
then reinstall the IOD fuse.
5. With the IOD fuse reset having been performed, verify that the vehicle will now crank, start, and
run.
6. If the condition is temporarily corrected by performing the above steps, and if the part number of
the WCM is earlier than the part number of the WCM listed in the part reference table in the
Service Bulletin Parts Required Section below, then perform the Repair Procedure.

PARTS REQUIRED:
NOTE:
The part numbers listed in the following part reference table are to be used as A GUIDE to help
determine if the WCM, that is currently in the vehicle, may require replacement. If it is determined
that the WCM requires replacement, then ALWAYS REFER TO THE PARTS MANUAL to
determine the correct WCM for the specific vehicle in question. In some earlier model years, the
WCM may rule (supersede) to one of the part numbers listed in the table. ALWAYS REFER TO
THE PARTS MANUAL (not the part reference table) to determine the correct part number ruling
(supercedence / substitution). MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE CORRECT WCM IS ORDERED THE
FIRST TIME FOR THE SPECIFIC VEHICLE IN QUESTION.

REPAIR PROCEDURE:
NOTE:
If the vehicle (a JS model vehicle in certain International markets) is equipped with an Electric
Steering Column Lock (ELV), then the WCM and the ELV must be replaced. Replace the WCM
and then the ELV. Next program the WCM and at least one (1) ignition key BEFORE programming
the ELV. IMPORTANT: Not following this repair process correctly will cause the new ELV to fail.
NOTE:
Insert the ignition key into the ignition lock cylinder. This will move the shaft lock module locking
bolt to the unlocked position. LEAVE the key in the lock cylinder while the shaft lock module is
being removed.
1. If vehicle is equipped with a Steering Shaft Lock Module (JS - Avenger I Stratus - some
International Markets), then the Shaft Lock Module will require replacement. From the Service Info
tab select: 8 - Electrical > Vehicle Theft Security - Security Information > Module, Shaft Lock >
Removal and Installation.
NOTE:
The shaft lock module cannot be removed from the steering column while the locking bolt is in the
locked position without irreversibly damaging the column. Before attempting service, the ignition
key must have been inserted into the ignition lock cylinder. Then rotate the steering wheel from
side to side. If the steering wheel can be rotated, the locking bolt is in the unlocked position. Leave
the key in the ignition lock cylinder until shaft lock module removal has been completed. If the
steering wheel cannot be rotated, test and repair the wiring circuits between the module and the
ignition switch as required. If no problem is found in these circuits, the module has failed with the
locking bolt in the locked position and both the module and the steering column must be replaced
with new units.
2. Replace the WCM/SKREEM. Refer to TechCONNECT for detailed service information. From the
Service Info tab select: 8 - Electrical > Vehicle Theft Security - Service Information > Module,
Sentry Key Remote Entry > Removal and Installation.
NOTE:
Obtain the vehicle PIN number prior to programming WCM/SKREEM or ELV.
NOTE:
If during the following steps the PIN number is properly entered but is rejected, then reenter the
PIN number again until it is accepted.
3. After both the WCM/SKREEM and the ELV (if equipped) have been replaced, Program the
WCM/SKREEM as follows:
a. Turn the ignition key to the ON position, (Engine Off)
b. Connect the scan tool (StarSCAN(R)) to the data link connector and turn the ignition to the RUN
position, (engine off).
c. Select "ECU View."
d. Scroll down and select "WCM" in the list of modules.

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
All switches, components, and modules are shown in the at rest position with the doors closed and
the key removed from the ignition.
Components are shown two ways. A solid line around a component indicates that the component is
complete. A dashed line around the component indicates that the component is being shown is not
complete. Incomplete components have a reference number to indicate the page where the
component is shown complete.
It is important to realize that no attempt is made on the diagrams to represent components and
wiring as they appear on the vehicle. For example, a short piece of wire is treated the same as a
long one. In addition, switches and other components are shown as simply as possible, with regard
to function only.

Body Control Module: Diagnostic Aids
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Sensitive Devices
STANDARD PROCEDURE - ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) SENSITIVE DEVICES
All ESD sensitive components are solid state and a symbol is used to indicate this. When handling
any component with this symbol, comply with the following procedures to reduce the possibility of
electrostatic charge build up on the body and inadvertent discharge into the component. If it is not
known whether the part is ESD sensitive, assume that it is.
1. Always touch a known good ground before handling the part. This should be repeated while
handling the part and more frequently after sliding
across a seat, sitting down from a standing position, or walking a distance.
2. Avoid touching electrical terminals of the part, unless instructed to do so by a written procedure.
3. When using a voltmeter, be sure to connect the ground lead first. 4. Do not remove the part from
it's protective packing until it is time to install the part. 5. Before removing the part from it's
package, ground the package to a known good ground on the vehicle.
Testing Of Voltage Potential
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TESTING OF VOLTAGE POTENTIAL
1. Connect the ground lead of a voltmeter to a known good ground. 2. Connect the other lead of
the voltmeter to the selected test point. The vehicle ignition may need to be turned ON to check
voltage. Refer to the
appropriate test procedure.
Testing For Continuity

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules Computers and Control Systems > Body Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 275
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TESTING FOR CONTINUITY
1. Remove the fuse (1) for the circuit being checked or, disconnect the battery. 2. Connect one lead
of the ohmmeter to one side of the circuit being tested 3. Connect the other lead to the other end of
the circuit being tested. Low or no resistance means good continuity.
Testing For A Short To Ground
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TESTING FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
1. Remove the fuse and disconnect all items involved with the fuse. 2. Connect a test light or a
voltmeter across the terminals of the fuse. 3. Starting at the fuse block, wiggle the wiring harness
about six to eight inches apart and watch the voltmeter/test lamp. 4. If the voltmeter registers
voltage or the test lamp glows, there is a short to ground in that general area of the wiring harness.
Testing For A Short To Ground On Fuses Powering Several Loads
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TESTING FOR A SHORT TO GROUND ON FUSES POWERING
SEVERAL LOADS
1. Refer to the wiring diagrams and disconnect or isolate all items on the suspected fused circuits.
2. Replace the blown fuse. 3. Supply power to the fuse by turning ON the ignition switch or
re-connecting the battery. 4. Start connecting or energizing the items in the fuse circuit one at a
time. When the fuse blows the circuit with the short to ground has been isolated.
Testing For A Voltage Drop
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TESTING FOR A VOLTAGE DROP

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules Computers and Control Systems > Body Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 276
1. Connect the positive lead of the voltmeter to the side of the circuit closest to the battery. 2.
Connect the other lead of the voltmeter to the other side of the switch, component or circuit. 3.
Operate the item. 4. The voltmeter will show the difference in voltage between the two points.
Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- Ohmmeter - Used to check the resistance between two points of a circuit. Low or no resistance in
a circuit means good continuity.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking resistance in these circuits use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
In addition, make sure the power is disconnected from the circuit. Circuits that are powered up by
the vehicle's electrical system can cause damage to the equipment and provide false readings.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules Computers and Control Systems > Body Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 277
- Probing Tools - These tools are used for probing terminals in connectors. Select the proper size
tool from Special Tool Package 6807, and insert the probing end (2) into the terminal being tested.
Use the other end of the tool (1) to insert the meter probe.
INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent electrical problems are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. It is also
possible for a sticking component or relay to cause a problem. Before condemning a component or
wiring assembly, check the following items.
- Connectors are fully seated
- Spread terminals, or terminal push out
- Terminals in the wiring assembly are fully seated into the connector/component and locked into
position
- Dirt or corrosion on the terminals. Any amount of corrosion or dirt could cause an intermittent
problem
- Damaged connector/component casing exposing the item to dirt or moisture
- Wire insulation that has rubbed through causing a short to ground
- Some or all of the wiring strands broken inside of the insulation
- Wiring broken inside of the insulation
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are six steps which can aid in the procedure. The
steps are listed and explained below. Always check for non-factory items added to the vehicle
before doing any diagnosis. If the vehicle is equipped with these items, disconnect them to verify
these add-on items are not the cause of the problem.
1. Verify the problem. 2. Verify any related symptoms. Do this by performing operational checks on
components that are in the same circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams. 3. Analyze the symptoms.
Use the wiring diagrams to determine what the circuit is doing, where the problem most likely is
occurring and where the
diagnosis will continue.
4. Isolate the problem area. 5. Repair the problem area. 6. Verify the proper operation. For this
step, check for proper operation of all items on the repaired circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams.

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
All switches, components, and modules are shown in the at rest position with the doors closed and
the key removed from the ignition.
Components are shown two ways. A solid line around a component indicates that the component is
complete. A dashed line around the component indicates that the component is being shown is not
complete. Incomplete components have a reference number to indicate the page where the
component is shown complete.
It is important to realize that no attempt is made on the diagrams to represent components and
wiring as they appear on the vehicle. For example, a short piece of wire is treated the same as a
long one. In addition, switches and other components are shown as simply as possible, with regard
to function only.

Connector, Ground and Splice Information
DESCRIPTION - CONNECTOR, GROUND AND SPLICE INFORMATION
CAUTION: Not all connectors are serviced. Some connectors are serviced only with a harness. A
typical example might be the Supplemental Restraint System connectors. Always check parts
availability before attempting a repair.
IDENTIFICATION
In-line connectors are identified by a number, as follows:
- In-line connectors located in the engine compartment are C100 series numbers.
- In-line connectors located in the instrument panel area are C200 series numbers.
- In-line connectors located in the body are C300 series numbers.
- Jumper harness connectors are C400 series numbers.
- Grounds and ground connectors are identified with a "G" and follow the same series numbering
as the in-line connectors.
- Splices are identified with an "S" and follow the same series numbering as the in-line connectors.
In addition, S001-S099 numbers are located in the engine compartment.
- Component connectors are identified by the component name instead of a number. Multiple
connectors on a component use a C1, C2, etc. identifier.
LOCATIONS
Vehicle/Locations contains the master connector/ground/splice location index charts with
hyperlinks to the applicable location illustrations. The illustrations contain the connector name (or
number)/ground number/splice number and component identification.
The abbreviation T/O is used in the component location section to indicate a point in which the
wiring harness branches out to a component. The abbreviation N/S means Not Shown in the
illustrations
Section Identification and Information

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Sensitive Devices
STANDARD PROCEDURE - ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) SENSITIVE DEVICES
All ESD sensitive components are solid state and a symbol is used to indicate this. When handling
any component with this symbol, comply with the following procedures to reduce the possibility of
electrostatic charge build up on the body and inadvertent discharge into the component. If it is not
known whether the part is ESD sensitive, assume that it is.
1. Always touch a known good ground before handling the part. This should be repeated while
handling the part and more frequently after sliding
across a seat, sitting down from a standing position, or walking a distance.
2. Avoid touching electrical terminals of the part, unless instructed to do so by a written procedure.
3. When using a voltmeter, be sure to connect the ground lead first. 4. Do not remove the part from
it's protective packing until it is time to install the part. 5. Before removing the part from it's
package, ground the package to a known good ground on the vehicle.
Testing Of Voltage Potential
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TESTING OF VOLTAGE POTENTIAL
1. Connect the ground lead of a voltmeter to a known good ground. 2. Connect the other lead of
the voltmeter to the selected test point. The vehicle ignition may need to be turned ON to check
voltage. Refer to the
appropriate test procedure.
Testing For Continuity

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 334
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TESTING FOR CONTINUITY
1. Remove the fuse (1) for the circuit being checked or, disconnect the battery. 2. Connect one lead
of the ohmmeter to one side of the circuit being tested 3. Connect the other lead to the other end of
the circuit being tested. Low or no resistance means good continuity.
Testing For A Short To Ground
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TESTING FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
1. Remove the fuse and disconnect all items involved with the fuse. 2. Connect a test light or a
voltmeter across the terminals of the fuse. 3. Starting at the fuse block, wiggle the wiring harness
about six to eight inches apart and watch the voltmeter/test lamp. 4. If the voltmeter registers
voltage or the test lamp glows, there is a short to ground in that general area of the wiring harness.

SEVERAL LOADS
1. Refer to the wiring diagrams and disconnect or isolate all items on the suspected fused circuits.
2. Replace the blown fuse. 3. Supply power to the fuse by turning ON the ignition switch or
re-connecting the battery. 4. Start connecting or energizing the items in the fuse circuit one at a
time. When the fuse blows the circuit with the short to ground has been isolated.

1. Connect the positive lead of the voltmeter to the side of the circuit closest to the battery. 2.
Connect the other lead of the voltmeter to the other side of the switch, component or circuit. 3.
Operate the item. 4. The voltmeter will show the difference in voltage between the two points.
Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- Ohmmeter - Used to check the resistance between two points of a circuit. Low or no resistance in
a circuit means good continuity.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking resistance in these circuits use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
In addition, make sure the power is disconnected from the circuit. Circuits that are powered up by
the vehicle's electrical system can cause damage to the equipment and provide false readings.

and Instructions > Page 336
- Probing Tools - These tools are used for probing terminals in connectors. Select the proper size
tool from Special Tool Package 6807, and insert the probing end (2) into the terminal being tested.
Use the other end of the tool (1) to insert the meter probe.
INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent electrical problems are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. It is also
possible for a sticking component or relay to cause a problem. Before condemning a component or
wiring assembly, check the following items.
- Connectors are fully seated
- Spread terminals, or terminal push out
- Terminals in the wiring assembly are fully seated into the connector/component and locked into
position
- Dirt or corrosion on the terminals. Any amount of corrosion or dirt could cause an intermittent
problem
- Damaged connector/component casing exposing the item to dirt or moisture
- Wire insulation that has rubbed through causing a short to ground
- Some or all of the wiring strands broken inside of the insulation
- Wiring broken inside of the insulation
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are six steps which can aid in the procedure. The
steps are listed and explained below. Always check for non-factory items added to the vehicle
before doing any diagnosis. If the vehicle is equipped with these items, disconnect them to verify
these add-on items are not the cause of the problem.
1. Verify the problem. 2. Verify any related symptoms. Do this by performing operational checks on
components that are in the same circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams. 3. Analyze the symptoms.
Use the wiring diagrams to determine what the circuit is doing, where the problem most likely is
occurring and where the
diagnosis will continue.
4. Isolate the problem area. 5. Repair the problem area. 6. Verify the proper operation. For this
step, check for proper operation of all items on the repaired circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams.

Powertrain Control Module - Description
Engine Control Module: Description and Operation Powertrain Control Module - Description
Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM)
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is located in the right-rear section of the engine
compartment under the cowl.
Two different PCM's are used (JTEC and NGC). These can be easily identified. JTEC's use three
32-way connectors, NGC's use four 38-way connectors
Modes Of Operation
MODES OF OPERATION
As input signals to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) change, the PCM adjusts its response to
the output devices. For example, the PCM must calculate different injector pulse width and ignition
timing for idle than it does for wide open throttle (WOT).
The PCM will operate in two different modes: Open Loop and Closed Loop.
During Open Loop modes, the PCM receives input signals and responds only according to preset
PCM programming. Input from the oxygen (O2S) sensors is not monitored during Open Loop
modes.
During Closed Loop modes, the PCM will monitor the oxygen (O2S) sensors input. This input
indicates to the PCM whether or not the calculated injector pulse width results in the ideal air-fuel
ratio. This ratio is 14.7 parts air-to-1 part fuel. By monitoring the exhaust oxygen content through
the O2S sensor, the PCM can fine tune the injector pulse width. This is done to achieve optimum
fuel economy combined with low emission engine performance.
The fuel injection system has the following modes of operation:
- Ignition switch ON
- Engine start-up (crank)
- Engine warm-up
- Idle
- Cruise
- Acceleration
- Deceleration
- Wide open throttle (WOT)
- Ignition switch OFF
The ignition switch On, engine start-up (crank), engine warm-up, acceleration, deceleration and
wide open throttle modes are Open Loop modes. The idle and cruise modes, (with the engine at
operating temperature) are Closed Loop modes.

Powertrain Control Module - Description > Page 376
IGNITION SWITCH (KEY-ON) MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. When the fuel system is activated by the ignition switch, the following
actions occur:
- The PCM pre-positions the idle air control (IAC) motor.
- The PCM determines atmospheric air pressure from the MAP sensor input to determine basic fuel
strategy.
- The PCM monitors the engine coolant temperature sensor input. The PCM modifies fuel strategy
based on this input.
- Intake manifold air temperature sensor input is monitored.
- Throttle position sensor (TPS) is monitored.
- The auto shutdown (ASD) relay is energized by the PCM for approximately three seconds.
- The fuel pump is energized through the fuel pump relay by the PCM. The fuel pump will operate
for approximately three seconds unless the engine is operating or the starter motor is engaged.
- The O2S sensor heater element is energized via the ASD or O2S heater relay. The O2S sensor
input is not used by the PCM to calibrate air-fuel ratio during this mode of operation.
ENGINE START-UP MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. The following actions occur when the starter motor is engaged.
The PCM receives inputs from:
- Battery voltage
- Engine coolant temperature sensor
- Crankshaft position sensor
- Intake manifold air temperature sensor
- Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
- Throttle position sensor (TPS)
- Camshaft position sensor signal
The PCM monitors the crankshaft position sensor. If the PCM does not receive a crankshaft
position sensor signal within 3 seconds of cranking the engine, it will shut down the fuel injection
system.
The fuel pump is activated by the PCM through the fuel pump relay.
Voltage is applied to the fuel injectors with the ASD relay via the PCM. The PCM will then control
the injection sequence and injector pulse width by turning the ground circuit to each individual
injector on and off.
The PCM determines the proper ignition timing according to input received from the crankshaft
position sensor.
ENGINE WARM-UP MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. During engine warm-up, the PCM receives inputs from:
- Battery voltage
- Crankshaft position sensor
- Engine coolant temperature sensor
- Intake manifold air temperature sensor
- Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
- Throttle position sensor (TPS)
- Camshaft position sensor signal
- Park/neutral switch (gear indicator signal-auto. trans. only)
- Air conditioning select signal (if equipped)
- Air conditioning request signal (if equipped)
Based on these inputs the following occurs:
- Voltage is applied to the fuel injectors with the ASD relay via the PCM. The PCM will then control
the injection sequence and injector pulse width by turning the ground circuit to each individual
injector on and off.
- The PCM adjusts engine idle speed through the idle air control (IAC) motor and adjusts ignition
timing.
- The PCM operates the A/C compressor clutch through the A/C compressor clutch relay. This is
done if A/C has been selected by the vehicle operator and specified pressures are met at the high
and low-pressure A/C switches.
- When engine has reached operating temperature, the PCM will begin monitoring O2S sensor
input. The system will then leave the warm-up mode and go into closed loop operation.
IDLE MODE
Dodge Ram 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (Truck V8-4.7L (2008))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Description and Operation >
Powertrain Control Module - Description > Page 377
When the engine is at operating temperature, this is a Closed Loop mode. At idle speed, the PCM
receives inputs from:
- Air conditioning select signal (if equipped)
- Air conditioning request signal (if equipped)
- Battery voltage
- Crankshaft position sensor
- Engine coolant temperature sensor
- Intake manifold air temperature sensor
- Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
- Throttle position sensor (TPS)
- Camshaft position sensor signal
- Battery voltage
- Park/neutral switch (gear indicator signal-auto. trans. only)
- Oxygen sensors
Based on these inputs, the following occurs:
- Voltage is applied to the fuel injectors with the ASD relay via the PCM. The PCM will then control
injection sequence and injector pulse width by turning the ground circuit to each individual injector
on and off.
- The PCM monitors the O2S sensor input and adjusts air-fuel ratio by varying injector pulse width.
It also adjusts engine idle speed through the idle air control (IAC) motor.
- The PCM adjusts ignition timing by increasing and decreasing spark advance.
- The PCM operates the A/C compressor clutch through the A/C compressor clutch relay. This is
done if A/C has been selected by the vehicle operator and specified pressures are met at the high
and low-pressure A/C switches.
CRUISE MODE
When the engine is at operating temperature, this is a Closed Loop mode. At cruising speed, the
PCM receives inputs from:
- Air conditioning select signal (if equipped)
- Air conditioning request signal (if equipped)
- Battery voltage
- Engine coolant temperature sensor
- Crankshaft position sensor
- Intake manifold air temperature sensor
- Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
- Throttle position sensor (TPS)
- Camshaft position sensor signal
- Park/neutral switch (gear indicator signal-auto. trans. only)
- Oxygen (O2S) sensors
Based on these inputs, the following occurs:
- Voltage is applied to the fuel injectors with the ASD relay via the PCM. The PCM will then adjust
the injector pulse width by turning the ground circuit to each individual injector on and off.
- The PCM monitors the O2S sensor input and adjusts air-fuel ratio. It also adjusts engine idle
speed through the idle air control (IAC) motor.
- The PCM adjusts ignition timing by turning the ground path to the coil(s) on and off.
- The PCM operates the A/C compressor clutch through the clutch relay. This happens if A/C has
been selected by the vehicle operator and requested by the A/C thermostat.
ACCELERATION MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. The PCM recognizes an abrupt increase in throttle position or MAP
pressure as a demand for increased engine output and vehicle acceleration. The PCM increases
injector pulse width in response to increased throttle opening.
DECELERATION MODE
When the engine is at operating temperature, this is an Open Loop mode. During hard
deceleration, the PCM receives the following inputs.
- Air conditioning select signal (if equipped)
- Air conditioning request signal (if equipped)
- Battery voltage
- Engine coolant temperature sensor
- Crankshaft position sensor
- Intake manifold air temperature sensor

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Description and Operation >
Powertrain Control Module - Description > Page 378
- Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
- Throttle position sensor (TPS)
- Camshaft position sensor signal
- Park/neutral switch (gear indicator signal-auto. trans. only)
- Vehicle speed
If the vehicle is under hard deceleration with the proper rpm and closed throttle conditions, the
PCM will ignore the oxygen sensor input signal. The PCM will enter a fuel cut-off strategy in which
it will not supply a ground to the injectors. If a hard deceleration does not exist, the PCM will
determine the proper injector pulse width and continue injection.
Based on the above inputs, the PCM will adjust engine idle speed through the idle air control (IAC)
motor.
The PCM adjusts ignition timing by turning the ground path to the coil on and off.
WIDE OPEN THROTTLE MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. During wide open throttle operation, the PCM receives the following
inputs.
- Battery voltage
- Crankshaft position sensor
- Engine coolant temperature sensor
- Intake manifold air temperature sensor
- Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
- Throttle position sensor (TPS)
- Camshaft position sensor signal
During wide open throttle conditions, the following occurs:
- Voltage is applied to the fuel injectors with the ASD relay via the PCM. The PCM will then control
the injection sequence and injector pulse width by turning the ground circuit to each individual
injector on and off. The PCM ignores the oxygen sensor input signal and provides a predetermined
amount of additional fuel. This is done by adjusting injector pulse width.
- The PCM adjusts ignition timing by turning the ground path to the coil(s) on and off.
IGNITION SWITCH OFF MODE
When ignition switch is turned to OFF position, the PCM stops operating the injectors, ignition coil,
ASD relay and fuel pump relay.
5 Volt Supplies
5 VOLT SUPPLIES

Engine Control Module: Description and Operation Powertrain Control Module - Operation
Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM)
The PCM operates the fuel system. The PCM is a pre-programmed, triple microprocessor digital
computer. It regulates ignition timing, air-fuel ratio, emission control devices, charging system,
certain transmission features, speed control, air conditioning compressor clutch engagement and
idle speed. The PCM can adapt its programming to meet changing operating conditions.
The PCM receives input signals from various switches and sensors. Based on these inputs, the
PCM regulates various engine and vehicle operations through different system components. These
components are referred to as Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Outputs. The sensors and
switches that provide inputs to the PCM are considered Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Inputs.
The PCM adjusts ignition timing based upon inputs it receives from sensors that react to: engine
rpm, manifold absolute pressure, engine coolant temperature, throttle position, transmission gear
selection (automatic transmission), vehicle speed, power steering pump pressure, and the brake
switch.
The PCM adjusts idle speed based on inputs it receives from sensors that react to: throttle position,
vehicle speed, transmission gear selection, engine coolant temperature and from inputs it receives
from the air conditioning clutch switch and brake switch.
Based on inputs that it receives, the PCM adjusts ignition coil dwell. The PCM also adjusts the
generator charge rate through control of the generator field and provides speed control operation.

Ignition Circuit Sense
IGNITION CIRCUIT SENSE
The ignition circuit sense input tells the PCM the ignition switch has energized the ignition circuit.
Battery voltage is also supplied to the PCM through the ignition switch when the ignition is in the
RUN or START position. This is referred to as the "ignition sense" circuit and is used to "wake up"
the PCM. Voltage on the ignition input can be as low as 6 volts and the PCM will still function.
Voltage is supplied to this circuit to power the PCM's 8-volt regulator and to allow the PCM to
perform fuel, ignition and emissions control functions.

Programming
Engine Control Module: Testing and Inspection SKREEM Programming
SKREEM PROGRAMMING
When a Powertrain Control Module (PCM) for a gasoline engine, or an Engine Control Module
(ECM) for a diesel engine and the Sentry Key Remote Entry Module (SKREEM) (also known as the
Wireless Control Module/WCM) on vehicles equipped with the Sentry Key Immobilizer System
(SKIS) are replaced at the same time, perform the following steps in order:
NOTE: If the PCM and the SKREEM are replaced at the same time, program the PCM VIN into the
PCM first.
1. If applicable first replace the PCM/ECM with the original WCM still connected to the vehicle. 2.
Using the appropriate service information program the new PCM/ECM. (This will ensure the Secret
Key Transfer from the original WCM into the
new PCM/ECM).
3. Now replace and program the WCM. This will retain the Secret Key from the PCM/ECM back
into the new WCM. 4. With the scan tool, select Miscellaneous Functions, WCM/Wireless Control
Module. Then select the desired procedure and follow the display on
the scan tool.
5. If the vehicle is equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring System program the Placard Pressure
Values into the WCM/SKREEM. 6. Ensure all the customer's keys have been programmed into the
new module if necessary.
NOTE: If the original keys do not successfully program to the new SKREEM after the proper
procedures are followed correctly, programming new keys will be necessary.
PROGRAMMING THE SKREEM
The SKIS Secret Key is an ID code that is unique to each SKREEM/WCM. This code is
programmed and stored in the SKREEM/WCM, the PCM/ECM, and each ignition key transponder
chip. When the PCM/ECM or SKREEM/WCM is replaced, it is necessary to program the Secret
Key into the new module using a diagnostic scan tool. Follow the programming steps outlined in
the diagnostic scan tool for PCM REPLACED , ECM REPLACED , WCM REPLACED , or
GATEWAY REPLACED under MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS for the WIRELESS CONTROL
MODULE/WCM menu item as appropriate.
NOTE: Programming the PCM/ECM or SKREEM is done using a diagnostic scan tool and a PIN to
enter secure access mode. If three attempts are made to enter secure access mode using an
incorrect PIN, secure access mode will be locked out for one hour. To exit this lockout mode, turn
the ignition to the RUN position for one hour then enter the correct PIN. Be certain that all
accessories are turned OFF. Also monitor the battery state and connect a battery charger if
necessary.
NOTE: Before replacing the ECU for a failed driver, control circuit or ground circuit, be sure to
check the related component/circuit integrity for failures not detected due to a double fault in the
circuit. Most ECM driver/control circuit failures are caused by internal component failures (i.e. relay
and solenoids) and shorted circuits (i.e. pull-ups, drivers and switched circuits). These failures are
difficult to detect when a double fault has occurred and only one DTC has set.
ECM/SKIM/WCM PROGRAMMING
When a ECM and the SKIM are replaced at the same time perform the following steps in order:
1. Program the new SKIM 2. Program the new ECM 3. Replace all ignition keys and program them
to the new SKIM.
ECM/SKIM/WCM PROGRAMMING
When an ECM (Bosch) and the SKIM are replaced at the same time perform the following steps in
order:
1. Program the new SKIM 2. Program the new ECM (Bosch) 3. Replace all ignition keys and
program them to the new SKIM.
PROGRAMMING THE SKIM
CAUTION: Read all notes and cautions for programming procedures.
1. Connect a battery charger to the vehicle. 2. Connect the StarSCAN(R).
CAUTION: If the ECM/PCM and SKREEM/WCM are replaced at the same time, the ECM/PCM
MUST be programmed before the

SKREEM/WCM.
3. Select "ECU View". 4. Select "WCM Wireless Control Module". 5. Select "Miscellaneous
Functions". 6. Select WCM replaced. 7. Enter the PIN when prompted. 8. Verify the correct
information.
NOTE: If the ECM and the SKIM are replaced at the same time, all vehicle keys will need to be
replaced and programmed to the new SKIM.
PROGRAMMING IGNITION KEYS TO THE SKREEM
Each ignition key transponder also has a unique ID code that is assigned at the time the key is
manufactured. When a key is programmed into the SKREEM/WCM, the transponder ID code is
learned by the module and the transponder acquires the unique Secret Key ID code from the
SKREEM/WCM. To program ignition keys into the SKREEM/WCM, follow the programming steps
outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for PROGRAM IGNITION KEYS OR KEY FOBS under
MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS for the WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE/WCM menu item.
NOTE: If the original keys do not successfully program to the new SKREEM after the proper
procedures are followed correctly, programming new keys will be necessary.
NOTE: A maximum of eight keys can be learned to each SKREEM. Once a key is learned to a
SKREEM, that key has acquired the Secret Key for that SKREEM and cannot be transferred to any
other SKREEM or vehicle.
If ignition key programming is unsuccessful, the scan tool will display one of the following error
messages:
- PROGRAMMING NOT ATTEMPTED - The scan tool attempts to read the programmed key status
and there are no keys programmed into SKREEM memory.
- PROGRAMMING KEY FAILED (POSSIBLE USED KEY FROM WRONG VEHICLE) - SKREEM is
unable to program an ignition key transponder due to one of the following:
- The ignition key transponder is ineffective.
- The ignition key transponder is or has been already programmed to another vehicle.
- 8 KEYS ALREADY LEARNED, PROGRAMMING NOT DONE - The SKREEM transponder ID
memory is full.
LEARNED KEY IN IGNITION - The ID for the ignition key transponder currently in the ignition lock
cylinder is already programmed into SKREEM memory.

Engine Control Module: Service and Repair Powertrain Control Module - Removal
REMOVAL
CAUTION: Certain ABS systems rely on having the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) broadcast
the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) over the bus network. To prevent problems of DTCs and
other items related to the VIN broadcast, it is recommend that you disconnect the ABS CAB
(controller) temporarily when replacing the PCM. Once the PCM is replaced, write the VIN to the
PCM using a scan tool. This is done from the engine main menu. Arrow over to the second page to
"1. Miscellaneous". Select "Check VIN" from the choices. Make sure it has the correct VIN entered
before continuing. When the VIN is complete, turn off the ignition key and reconnect the ABS
module connector. This will prevent the setting of DTCs and other items associated with the lack of
a VIN detected when you turn the key ON after replacing the PCM.
CAUTION: Use the scan tool to reprogram the new PCM with the vehicles original identification
number (VIN) and the vehicles original mileage. If this step is not done, a Diagnostic Trouble Code
(DTC) may be set.
The PCM (1) is located in the engine compartment attached to the dash panel (3).
To avoid possible voltage spike damage to the PCM, ignition key must be off, and negative battery
cable must be disconnected before unplugging PCM connectors.
1. Disconnect negative battery cable at battery. 2. Remove cover over electrical connectors. Cover
snaps onto PCM. 3. Carefully unplug the three 32-way connectors (four 38-way connectors if
equipped with NGC) from PCM (1). 4. Remove three PCM mounting bolts (4) and remove PCM
from vehicle.

Fig.2 ASD And Fuel Pump Relay Terminals-Type 2
The following description of operation and tests apply only to the Automatic Shutdown (ASD) and
fuel pump relays. The terminals on the bottom of each relay are numbered. Two different types of
relays may be used, or.
- Terminal number 30 is connected to battery voltage. For both the ASD and fuel pump relays,
terminal 30 is connected to battery voltage at all times.
- The PCM grounds the coil side of the relay through terminal number 85.
- Terminal number 86 supplies voltage to the coil side of the relay.
- When the PCM de-energizes the ASD and fuel pump relays, terminal number 87A connects to
terminal 30. This is the OFF position. In the OFF position, voltage is not supplied to the rest of the
circuit. Terminal 87A is the center terminal on the relay.
- When the PCM energizes the ASD and fuel pump relays, terminal 87 connects to terminal 30.
This is the ON position. Terminal 87 supplies voltage to the rest of the circuit.
The following procedure applies to the ASD and fuel pump relays.
1. Remove relay from connector before testing. 2. With the relay removed from the vehicle, use an
ohmmeter to check the resistance between terminals 85 and 86. The resistance should be 75
ohms

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
All switches, components, and modules are shown in the at rest position with the doors closed and
the key removed from the ignition.
Components are shown two ways. A solid line around a component indicates that the component is
complete. A dashed line around the component indicates that the component is being shown is not
complete. Incomplete components have a reference number to indicate the page where the
component is shown complete.
It is important to realize that no attempt is made on the diagrams to represent components and
wiring as they appear on the vehicle. For example, a short piece of wire is treated the same as a
long one. In addition, switches and other components are shown as simply as possible, with regard
to function only.

of the ohmmeter to one side of the circuit being tested 3. Connect the other lead to the other end of
the circuit being tested. Low or no resistance means good continuity.
Testing For A Short To Ground
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TESTING FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
1. Remove the fuse and disconnect all items involved with the fuse. 2. Connect a test light or a
voltmeter across the terminals of the fuse. 3. Starting at the fuse block, wiggle the wiring harness
about six to eight inches apart and watch the voltmeter/test lamp. 4. If the voltmeter registers
voltage or the test lamp glows, there is a short to ground in that general area of the wiring harness.

Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- Ohmmeter - Used to check the resistance between two points of a circuit. Low or no resistance in
a circuit means good continuity.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking resistance in these circuits use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
In addition, make sure the power is disconnected from the circuit. Circuits that are powered up by
the vehicle's electrical system can cause damage to the equipment and provide false readings.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Fuel Pump Relay > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 432
- Probing Tools - These tools are used for probing terminals in connectors. Select the proper size
tool from Special Tool Package 6807, and insert the probing end (2) into the terminal being tested.
Use the other end of the tool (1) to insert the meter probe.
INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent electrical problems are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. It is also
possible for a sticking component or relay to cause a problem. Before condemning a component or
wiring assembly, check the following items.
- Connectors are fully seated
- Spread terminals, or terminal push out
- Terminals in the wiring assembly are fully seated into the connector/component and locked into
position
- Dirt or corrosion on the terminals. Any amount of corrosion or dirt could cause an intermittent
problem
- Damaged connector/component casing exposing the item to dirt or moisture
- Wire insulation that has rubbed through causing a short to ground
- Some or all of the wiring strands broken inside of the insulation
- Wiring broken inside of the insulation
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are six steps which can aid in the procedure. The
steps are listed and explained below. Always check for non-factory items added to the vehicle
before doing any diagnosis. If the vehicle is equipped with these items, disconnect them to verify
these add-on items are not the cause of the problem.
1. Verify the problem. 2. Verify any related symptoms. Do this by performing operational checks on
components that are in the same circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams. 3. Analyze the symptoms.
Use the wiring diagrams to determine what the circuit is doing, where the problem most likely is
occurring and where the
diagnosis will continue.
4. Isolate the problem area. 5. Repair the problem area. 6. Verify the proper operation. For this
step, check for proper operation of all items on the repaired circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams.

Fuel Pump Relay: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
A separate fuel pump relay is no longer used. A circuit within the TIPM (Totally Integrated Power
Module) is used to control the electric fuel pump located within the fuel pump module. The TIPM (1)
is located in the engine compartment in front of the battery.

Fuel Pump Relay: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) energizes the electric fuel pump through the fuel pump
relay. The fuel pump relay is energized by first applying battery voltage to it when the ignition key is
turned ON, and then applying a ground signal to the relay from the PCM.
Whenever the ignition key is turned ON, the electric fuel pump will operate. But, the PCM will
shut-down the ground circuit to the fuel pump relay in approximately 1-3 seconds unless the engine
is operating or the starter motor is engaged.

Fig.1 ASD And Fuel Pump Relay Terminals-Type 1
Fig.2 ASD And Fuel Pump Relay Terminals-Type 2
The following description of operation and tests apply only to the Automatic Shutdown (ASD) and
fuel pump relays. The terminals on the bottom of each relay are numbered. Two different types of
relays may be used, or.
- Terminal number 30 is connected to battery voltage. For both the ASD and fuel pump relays,
terminal 30 is connected to battery voltage at all times.
- The PCM grounds the coil side of the relay through terminal number 85.
- Terminal number 86 supplies voltage to the coil side of the relay.
- When the PCM de-energizes the ASD and fuel pump relays, terminal number 87A connects to
terminal 30. This is the OFF position. In the OFF position, voltage is not supplied to the rest of the
circuit. Terminal 87A is the center terminal on the relay.
- When the PCM energizes the ASD and fuel pump relays, terminal 87 connects to terminal 30.
This is the ON position. Terminal 87 supplies voltage to the rest of the circuit.
The following procedure applies to the ASD and fuel pump relays.
1. Remove relay from connector before testing. 2. With the relay removed from the vehicle, use an
ohmmeter to check the resistance between terminals 85 and 86. The resistance should be 75
ohms

± 5 ohms.
3. Connect the ohmmeter between terminals 30 and 87A. The ohmmeter should show continuity
between terminals 30 and 87A. 4. Connect the ohmmeter between terminals 87 and 30. The
ohmmeter should not show continuity at this time. 5. Connect one end of a jumper wire (16 gauge
or smaller) to relay terminal 85. Connect the other end of the jumper wire to the ground side of a 12
volt power source.
6. Connect one end of another jumper wire (16 gauge or smaller) to the power side of the 12 volt
power source. Do not attach the other end of the
jumper wire to the relay at this time.
WARNING: DO NOT ALLOW OHMMETER TO CONTACT TERMINALS 85 OR 86 DURING THIS
TEST. DAMAGE TO OHMMETER MAY RESULT.
7. Attach the other end of the jumper wire to relay terminal 86. This activates the relay. The
ohmmeter should now show continuity between relay
terminals 87 and 30. The ohmmeter should not show continuity between relay terminals 87A and
30.
8. Disconnect jumper wires. 9. Replace the relay if it did not pass the continuity and resistance
tests. If the relay passed the tests, it operates properly. Check the remainder of the
ASD and fuel pump relay circuits.

Seat Occupant Classification Module - Air Bag: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) (1) is located in the passenger compartment of the
vehicle, where it is secured by three nuts to three studs on a stamped steel mounting bracket
welded onto the top of the floor panel transmission tunnel under the center front seat section or the
center floor console, as the vehicle is equipped. Concealed within a hollow in the center of the die
cast aluminum ORC housing is the electronic circuitry of the ORC which includes a
microprocessor, an electronic impact sensor, an electronic safing sensor, and an energy storage
capacitor. A stamped metal cover plate is secured to the bottom of the ORC housing with screws to
enclose and protect the internal electronic circuitry and components.
An arrow (2) printed on the label (3) on the top of the ORC housing provides a visual verification of
the proper orientation of the unit, and should always be pointed toward the front of the vehicle. The
ORC housing has integral mounting flanges on three corners. The mounting flange to the right of
the connector receptacles (4) has an integral locating pin on its lower surface. Both right side
flanges have round mounting holes, while the flange on the left side has a slotted mounting hole. A
molded plastic electrical connector (4) with 2 receptacles, one containing 24 terminal pins and the
other containing 32 terminal pins, exits the forward facing side of the ORC housing. These terminal
pins connect the ORC to the vehicle electrical system through two dedicated take outs and
connectors, one each from the instrument panel and the body wire harnesses.
A molded plastic protective cover is installed over the ORC to provide additional moisture
contamination protection to the unit. Integral latch features on each side of the cover engage a slot
(5) on each side of the base of the ORC housing to secure the cover to the ORC. This protective
cover must be reinstalled following any service requiring its removal.
The impact sensor and safing sensor internal to the ORC are calibrated for the specific vehicle, and
are only serviced as a unit with the ORC. In addition, there are unique versions of the ORC for light
and heavy-duty vehicles, and for vehicles with or without the optional side curtain airbags. The
ORC cannot be repaired or adjusted and, if damaged or ineffective, it must be replaced.

Seat Occupant Classification Module - Air Bag: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The microprocessor in the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) contains the Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) logic circuits and controls all of the SRS components. The ORC uses
On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) and can communicate with other electronic modules in the vehicle as
well as with the diagnostic scan tool using the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus. This
method of communication is used for control of the airbag indicator in the ElectroMechanical
Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN) and for SRS
diagnosis and testing through the 16-way Data Link Connector (DLC) located on the driver side
lower edge of the instrument panel. See: Restraint Systems/Air Bag Systems/Malfunction Lamp /
Indicator/Description and Operation/Operation .
The ORC microprocessor continuously monitors all of the SRS electrical circuits to determine the
system readiness. If the ORC detects a monitored system fault, it sets an active and stored
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) and sends electronic messages to the EMIC over the CAN data
bus to turn ON the airbag indicator. An active fault only remains for the duration of the fault, or in
some cases for the duration of the current ignition switch cycle, while a stored fault causes a DTC
to be stored in memory by the ORC. For some DTCs, if a fault does not recur for a number of
ignition cycles, the ORC will automatically erase the stored DTC. For other internal faults, the
stored DTC is latched forever.
In standard cab vehicles (except light-duty DR 1500), the ORC also monitors a resistor multiplexed
input from the passenger airbag on/off switch. If the passenger airbag on/off switch is set to the
OFF position, the ORC turns ON the passenger airbag on/off indicator and will internally disable
the passenger airbag and, on light-duty DR 1500 only, the seat belt tensioner from being deployed.
The ORC receives battery current through two circuits; a fused ignition switch output (run) circuit
through a fuse in the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM), and a fused ignition switch output
(run-start) circuit through a second fuse in the TIPM. The ORC receives ground through a ground
circuit and take out of the instrument panel wire harness. This take out has a single eyelet terminal
connector that is secured by a ground screw to the instrument panel structural support. These
connections allow the ORC to be operational whenever the ignition switch is in the START or ON
positions.
The ORC also contains an energy-storage capacitor. When the ignition switch is in the START or
ON positions, this capacitor is continually being charged with enough electrical energy to deploy
the SRS components for up to one second following a battery disconnect or failure. The purpose of
the capacitor is to provide backup SRS protection in case there is a loss of battery current supply to
the ORC during an impact.
Two sensors are contained within the ORC, an electronic impact sensor and a safing sensor. The
ORC also monitors inputs from two remote front impact sensors located on the back of the right
and left ends of the lower radiator crossmember near the front of the vehicle. The electronic impact
sensors are accelerometers that sense the rate of vehicle deceleration, which provide verification
of the direction and severity of an impact. On vehicles equipped with optional side curtain airbags
the ORC also monitors inputs from two additional remote impact sensors located within both the
left and right B-pillars to control deployment of the side curtain airbag units.
The safing sensor is an electronic accelerometer sensor within the ORC that provides an additional
logic input to the ORC microprocessor. The safing sensor is used to verify the need for a SRS
deployment by detecting impact energy of a lesser magnitude than that of the primary electronic
impact sensors, and must exceed a safing threshold in order for the airbags to deploy. Vehicles
equipped with optional side curtain airbags feature a second safing sensor within the ORC to
provide confirmation to the ORC microprocessor of side impact forces. This second safing sensor
is a bi-directional unit that detects impact forces from either side of the vehicle.
Pre-programmed decision algorithms in the ORC microprocessor determine when the deceleration
rate as signaled by the impact sensors and the safing sensors indicate an impact that is severe
enough to require SRS protection and, based upon the severity of the monitored impact,
determines the level of front airbag deployment force required for each front seating position. When
the programmed conditions are met, the ORC sends the proper electrical signals to deploy the dual
multistage front airbags at the programmed force levels and, if the vehicle is so equipped, the front
seat belt tensioners or either side curtain airbag unit. On standard cab vehicles except light-duty
DR 1500, the passenger front airbag will be deployed by the ORC only if enabled by the passenger
airbag on/off switch at the time of the impact.
The hard wired inputs and outputs for the ORC may be diagnosed using conventional diagnostic
tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information. However, conventional
diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the ORC or the electronic controls
or communication between other modules and devices that provide features of the SRS. The most
reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the ORC or the electronic controls and
communication related to ORC operation requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.

WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before attempting any steering wheel, steering column,
airbag, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service.
Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system
capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to
disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag
deployment.
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury, never strike or drop the Occupant Restraint Controller
(ORC), as it can damage the impact sensor or affect its calibration. The ORC contains the impact
sensor, which enables the system to deploy the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
components. If an ORC is accidentally dropped during service, the module must be scrapped and
replaced with a new unit. Failure to observe this warning could result in accidental, incomplete, or
improper SRS component deployment.
1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable. Wait two minutes for the system capacitor to
discharge before further service. 2. Remove the protective cover from the Occupant Restraint

WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before attempting any steering wheel, steering column,
airbag, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service.
Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system
capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to
disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag
deployment.
1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable. Wait two minutes for the system capacitor to
discharge before further service.
NOTE: The front seat assembly must be unfastened from the floor panel, but need not be removed
from the vehicle for access to the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) cover for service.
2. Remove the front seat from the vehicle. See: Body and Frame/Seats/Service and Repair/Seat Removal . 3. Using a trim stick or another suitable wide flat-bladed tool, gently pry the latch feature
on either side of the ORC cover (1) away from the base of
the ORC (2) far enough to disengage the cover from the module.
4. Remove the ORC cover from over the ORC.

WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before attempting any steering wheel, steering column,
airbag, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service.
Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system
capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to
disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag
deployment.
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury, never strike or drop the Occupant Restraint Controller
(ORC), as it can damage the impact sensor or affect its calibration. The ORC contains the impact
sensor, which enables the system to deploy the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
components. If an ORC is accidentally dropped during service, the module must be scrapped and
replaced with a new unit. Failure to observe this warning could result in accidental, incomplete, or
improper SRS component deployment.
1. Position the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) (1) over the three studs of the ORC mounting
bracket (3) on the floor panel transmission tunnel,
then engage the locating pin on the bottom of the right ORC mounting flange into the locating hole
in the bracket. When the ORC is correctly positioned, the arrow on the ORC label will be pointed
forward in the vehicle.
2. Install and tighten the three nuts (2) that secure the ORC to the bracket on the floor panel
transmission tunnel. Tighten the nuts to 10 Nm (7 ft.
lbs.).
3. Reconnect the two wire harness connectors (3) for the ORC (1) to the ORC connector
receptacles (2 and 4) located on the forward facing side of
the module. Be certain that the latches on the connectors are each fully engaged.
4. Reinstall the ORC cover onto the ORC. See: Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) Module
Cover - Installation . 5. Do not reconnect the battery negative cable at this time. The Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) verification test procedure should be performed
following service of any SRS component. See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control
Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code Tests and Associated
Procedures/Verification Tests .

Tire Pressure Monitor Receiver / Transponder: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
A transponder (2), also known as a trigger module, is located in the front wheel wells (behind the
wheelhouse splash shields) of the vehicle to provide the WCM/SKREEM with the location of the
front tire pressure sensors on the vehicle.

Tire Pressure Monitor Receiver / Transponder: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The Wireless Control Module (WCM), commonly referred to as the Sentry Key Remote Entry
Module (SKREEM), uses transponders (trigger modules) located in the front wheel wells on the
vehicle to provide it with the location of the front tire pressure sensors on the vehicle. Like the base
system, the WCM receives RF signals from all four rotating wheel speed sensors. When the WCM
needs to know which sensor is located at a particular location on the vehicle, it directs the
transponder at that location to send out a low frequency signal to excite the nearby sensor. The
WCM then receives that excited signal and knows where that sensor is located. This auto-locating
process only happens in the first 10 minutes of any WCM cycle while traveling at speeds above 20
mph (32 km/h) (Each WCM cycle ends when the vehicle has been shut off for a time period of
approximately 20 minutes or longer). If the TPMS fails to localize, the TPM indicator lamp will flash
on/off for 75 seconds, and remain on solid.

DESCRIPTION
On gasoline vehicles the Transmission Control Module (TCM) (2) may be sub-module within the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) (3).
Vehicles equipped 68RFE transmission and a 6.7L Diesel engine, the TCM is housed in the NGC4
controller utilizing only the C1 and C4 connectors (TCM only). The controller is located at the rear
of the engine compartment, near the right inner fender.

Control Module: Description and Operation Transmission Control Module - Operation
OPERATION
RLE and RFE TRANSMISSIONS
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) controls all electronic operations of the transmission. The
TCM receives information regarding vehicle operation from both direct and indirect inputs, and
selects the operational mode of the transmission. Direct inputs are hard wired to, and used
specifically by the TCM. Indirect inputs are shared with the TCM via the vehicle communication
bus.
Some examples of direct inputs to the TCM are:
- Battery (B+) voltage
- Ignition "ON" voltage
- Transmission Control Relay (Switched B+) (if equipped)
- Throttle Position Sensor
- Crankshaft Position Sensor
- Transmission Range Sensor
- Pressure Switches
- Transmission Temperature Sensor
- Input Shaft Speed Sensor
- Output Shaft Speed Sensor
- Line Pressure Sensor
Some examples of indirect inputs to the TCM are:
- Target Idle
- Torque Reduction Confirmation
- Engine Coolant Temperature
- Ambient/Battery Temperature
- Scan Tool Communication
Based on the information received from these various inputs, the TCM determines the appropriate
shift schedule and shift points, depending on the present operating conditions and driver demand.
This is possible through the control of various direct and indirect outputs.
Some examples of TCM direct outputs are:
- Transmission Control Relay
- Solenoids
- Torque Reduction Request
Some examples of TCM indirect outputs are:
- Transmission Temperature (to PCM)
- PRNDL Position (to cluster/CCN)
In addition to monitoring inputs and controlling outputs, the TCM has other important
responsibilities and functions:
- Storing and maintaining Clutch Volume Indexes (CVI)
- Storing and selecting appropriate Shift Schedules
- System self-diagnostics
- Diagnostic capabilities (with scan tool)
NOTE: If the TCM has been replaced, the "Quick Learn Procedure" must be performed. See:
Powertrain Management/Transmission Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Programming and
Relearning/Transmission Control Module/TCM Quick Learn
BATTERY FEED
A fused, direct battery feed to the TCM is used for continuous power. This battery voltage is
necessary to retain memory in the TCM. When the battery (B+) is disconnected, this memory is
lost. When the battery (B+) is restored, this memory loss is detected by the TCM and a Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) is set.
CLUTCH VOLUME INDEXES (CVI)
Dodge Ram 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (Truck V8-4.7L (2008))

Modules - A/T > Control Module, A/T > Component Information > Description and Operation > Transmission Control Module
- Description > Page 553
An important function of the TCM is to monitor Clutch Volume Indexes (CVI). CVIs represent the
volume of fluid needed to compress a clutch pack.
The TCM monitors gear ratio changes by monitoring the Input and Output Speed Sensors. The
Input, or Turbine Speed Sensor sends an electrical signal to the TCM that represents input shaft
rpm. The Output Speed Sensor provides the TCM with output shaft speed information.
By comparing the two inputs, the TCM can determine transmission gear position. This is important
to the CVI calculation because the TCM determines CVIs by monitoring how long it takes for a gear
change to occur.
Gear ratios can be determined by using the Scan Tool and reading the Input/Output Speed Sensor
values in the "Monitors" display. Gear ratio can be obtained by dividing the Input Speed Sensor
value by the Output Speed Sensor value.
For example, if the input shaft is rotating at 1000 rpm and the output shaft is rotating at 500 rpm,
then the TCM can determine that the gear ratio is 2:1. In direct drive (3rd gear), the gear ratio
changes to 1:1. The gear ratio changes as clutches are applied and released. By monitoring the
length of time it takes for the gear ratio to change following a shift request, the TCM can determine
the volume of fluid used to apply or release a friction element.
The volume of transmission fluid needed to apply the friction elements are continuously updated for
adaptive controls. As friction material wears, the volume of fluid need to apply the element
increases.
Certain mechanical problems within the input clutch assembly can cause inadequate or
out-of-range element volumes. Also, defective Input/Output Speed Sensors and wiring can cause
these conditions. The following charts identifies the appropriate clutch volumes and when they are
monitored/updated:

Modules - A/T > Control Module, A/T > Component Information > Description and Operation > Transmission Control Module
- Description > Page 554
SHIFT SCHEDULES
As mentioned earlier, the TCM has programming that allows it to select a variety of shift schedules.
Shift schedule selection is dependent on the following:
- Shift lever position
- Throttle position
- Engine load
- Fluid temperature
- Software level
As driving conditions change, the TCM appropriately adjusts the shift schedule. Refer to the
following chart to determine the appropriate operation expected, depending on driving conditions.

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
All switches, components, and modules are shown in the at rest position with the doors closed and
the key removed from the ignition.
Components are shown two ways. A solid line around a component indicates that the component is
complete. A dashed line around the component indicates that the component is being shown is not
complete. Incomplete components have a reference number to indicate the page where the
component is shown complete.
It is important to realize that no attempt is made on the diagrams to represent components and
wiring as they appear on the vehicle. For example, a short piece of wire is treated the same as a
long one. In addition, switches and other components are shown as simply as possible, with regard
to function only.

Connector, Ground and Splice Information
DESCRIPTION - CONNECTOR, GROUND AND SPLICE INFORMATION
CAUTION: Not all connectors are serviced. Some connectors are serviced only with a harness. A
typical example might be the Supplemental Restraint System connectors. Always check parts
availability before attempting a repair.
IDENTIFICATION
In-line connectors are identified by a number, as follows:
- In-line connectors located in the engine compartment are C100 series numbers.
- In-line connectors located in the instrument panel area are C200 series numbers.
- In-line connectors located in the body are C300 series numbers.
- Jumper harness connectors are C400 series numbers.
- Grounds and ground connectors are identified with a "G" and follow the same series numbering
as the in-line connectors.
- Splices are identified with an "S" and follow the same series numbering as the in-line connectors.
In addition, S001-S099 numbers are located in the engine compartment.
- Component connectors are identified by the component name instead of a number. Multiple
connectors on a component use a C1, C2, etc. identifier.
LOCATIONS
Vehicle/Locations contains the master connector/ground/splice location index charts with
hyperlinks to the applicable location illustrations. The illustrations contain the connector name (or
number)/ground number/splice number and component identification.
The abbreviation T/O is used in the component location section to indicate a point in which the
wiring harness branches out to a component. The abbreviation N/S means Not Shown in the
illustrations

Transmission Control System Relay: Diagnostic Aids
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Sensitive Devices
STANDARD PROCEDURE - ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) SENSITIVE DEVICES
All ESD sensitive components are solid state and a symbol is used to indicate this. When handling
any component with this symbol, comply with the following procedures to reduce the possibility of
electrostatic charge build up on the body and inadvertent discharge into the component. If it is not
known whether the part is ESD sensitive, assume that it is.
1. Always touch a known good ground before handling the part. This should be repeated while
handling the part and more frequently after sliding
across a seat, sitting down from a standing position, or walking a distance.
2. Avoid touching electrical terminals of the part, unless instructed to do so by a written procedure.
3. When using a voltmeter, be sure to connect the ground lead first. 4. Do not remove the part from
it's protective packing until it is time to install the part. 5. Before removing the part from it's
package, ground the package to a known good ground on the vehicle.
Testing Of Voltage Potential
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TESTING OF VOLTAGE POTENTIAL
1. Connect the ground lead of a voltmeter to a known good ground. 2. Connect the other lead of
the voltmeter to the selected test point. The vehicle ignition may need to be turned ON to check
voltage. Refer to the
appropriate test procedure.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - TESTING FOR CONTINUITY
1. Remove the fuse (1) for the circuit being checked or, disconnect the battery. 2. Connect one lead
of the ohmmeter to one side of the circuit being tested 3. Connect the other lead to the other end of
the circuit being tested. Low or no resistance means good continuity.
Testing For A Short To Ground
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TESTING FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
1. Remove the fuse and disconnect all items involved with the fuse. 2. Connect a test light or a
voltmeter across the terminals of the fuse. 3. Starting at the fuse block, wiggle the wiring harness
about six to eight inches apart and watch the voltmeter/test lamp. 4. If the voltmeter registers
voltage or the test lamp glows, there is a short to ground in that general area of the wiring harness.
Testing For A Short To Ground On Fuses Powering Several Loads
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TESTING FOR A SHORT TO GROUND ON FUSES POWERING
SEVERAL LOADS
1. Refer to the wiring diagrams and disconnect or isolate all items on the suspected fused circuits.
2. Replace the blown fuse. 3. Supply power to the fuse by turning ON the ignition switch or
re-connecting the battery. 4. Start connecting or energizing the items in the fuse circuit one at a
time. When the fuse blows the circuit with the short to ground has been isolated.

Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- Ohmmeter - Used to check the resistance between two points of a circuit. Low or no resistance in
a circuit means good continuity.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking resistance in these circuits use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
In addition, make sure the power is disconnected from the circuit. Circuits that are powered up by
the vehicle's electrical system can cause damage to the equipment and provide false readings.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Transmission and Drivetrain > Relays and
Modules - A/T > Transmission Control System Relay, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 577
- Probing Tools - These tools are used for probing terminals in connectors. Select the proper size
tool from Special Tool Package 6807, and insert the probing end (2) into the terminal being tested.
Use the other end of the tool (1) to insert the meter probe.
INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent electrical problems are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. It is also
possible for a sticking component or relay to cause a problem. Before condemning a component or
wiring assembly, check the following items.
- Connectors are fully seated
- Spread terminals, or terminal push out
- Terminals in the wiring assembly are fully seated into the connector/component and locked into
position
- Dirt or corrosion on the terminals. Any amount of corrosion or dirt could cause an intermittent
problem
- Damaged connector/component casing exposing the item to dirt or moisture
- Wire insulation that has rubbed through causing a short to ground
- Some or all of the wiring strands broken inside of the insulation
- Wiring broken inside of the insulation
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are six steps which can aid in the procedure. The
steps are listed and explained below. Always check for non-factory items added to the vehicle
before doing any diagnosis. If the vehicle is equipped with these items, disconnect them to verify
these add-on items are not the cause of the problem.
1. Verify the problem. 2. Verify any related symptoms. Do this by performing operational checks on
components that are in the same circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams. 3. Analyze the symptoms.
Use the wiring diagrams to determine what the circuit is doing, where the problem most likely is
occurring and where the
diagnosis will continue.
4. Isolate the problem area. 5. Repair the problem area. 6. Verify the proper operation. For this
step, check for proper operation of all items on the repaired circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams.

Control Module: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM) functionality now resides in the Totally Integrated
Power Module (TIPM), refer to the TIPM information for location and additional information. The
TIPM controls the 4X4 transfer case shift functions via the actuation of a shift motor and utilizing
the feedback of a mode sensor assembly. Communication is via the CAN bus. Inputs include user
selectable 4X4 modes that include 2WD, AWD, 4HI, 4LO, and Neutral (selections vary with the
specific transfer case).

Control Module: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM) functionality in the Totally Integrated Power Module
(TIPM) utilizes the input from the transfer case mounted mode sensor, the instrument panel
mounted selector switch, and the following information from the vehicle's CAN bus to determine if a
shift is allowed.
- Engine RPM and Vehicle Speed
- Diagnostic Requests
- Manual Transmission and Brake Applied
- PRNDL
- Ignition Status
- ABS Messages
Once the TIP determines that a requested shift is allowed, it actuates the bi-directional shift motor
as necessary to achieve the desired transfer case operating mode. The TIPM also monitors the
mode sensor while controlling the shift motor to determine the status of the shift attempt.
Several items can cause the requested shift not to be completed. If the TIPM has recognized a
fault (DTC) of some variety, it will begin operation in one of four Functionality Levels. These levels
are:
- Level Zero - Normal Operation.
- Level One - Only Mode Shifts Are Allowed.
- Level Two - Only Mode Shifts and Shifts Into LOW Are Allowed (No Neutral Shifts Are Allowed).
- Level Three - No Shifts Are Allowed
The TIPM can also be operating in one of three possible power modes. These power modes are:
- Full Power Mode is the normal operational mode of the module. This mode is achieved by normal
CAN bus traffic being present and the ignition being in the RUN position.
Reduced Power Mode will be entered when the ignition has been powered off. In this state, the
module will shut down power supplied to external devices, and to electronic interface inputs and
outputs. From this state the module can enter either Sleep Mode or Full Power Mode. To enter this
mode, the module must receive an ignition message denoting that the ignition is off, or not receive
any messages for 5 ±0.5 seconds. To exit this mode, the module must receive one ignition
message that denotes that the ignition is in the RUN position.
- Sleep Mode will be entered, from the Reduced Power Mode, when no CAN traffic has been
sensed for 20 ±1 seconds. If during Sleep Mode the module detects CAN bus traffic, it will revert to
the Reduced Power mode while monitoring for ignition messages. It will remain in this state as long
as there is traffic other than run or start messages, and will return to Sleep mode if the bus goes
without traffic for 20 ±1 seconds.
SHIFT REQUIREMENTS
If the TIPM is in full power mode and at functionality level zero, it uses the following criteria to
determine if a shift is allowed.
If any of the driver controllable conditions are not met once the shift request is recognized, the
TIPM will solidly illuminate the source position's LED and flash the desired position's LED for all
shifts except NEUTRAL. The NEUTRAL shift LED strategy will be discussed later.
Mode shifts will be allowed regardless of transmission gear or vehicle speed, whenever the
following conditions are met:
- Front and rear wheel speed are within 21 km/h (13 mph).
- A change in the Selector switch state indicates that a mode shift has been requested.
- A valid mode sensor signal is being sensed by the TIPM.
- Proper transmit/receive messages are occurring on the CAN bus.
- Ignition key switch is in the RUN position.
Range shifts will be allowed only if all of the following conditions are met:
- Front and rear wheel speed are within 21 km/h (13 mph).
- A change in the Selector Switch state indicating a range shift has been requested.
- Transmission in NEUTRAL signal must be recognized for at least 1.5 seconds ±100 msec.
(Automatic transmissions only)
- Proper transmit/receive messages are occurring on the CAN bus.
- Clutch signal is recognized for 500 msec ± 50 msec (Manual transmissions only).
- Vehicle speed is less than or equal to 4.8 km/h (3 mph).
- Ignition key switch is in the RUN position.
- A valid mode sensor signal is being sensed by the TIPM.

Modules - Transfer Case > Control Module, Transfer Case > Component Information > Description and Operation >
Description > Page 602
A shift into transfer case Neutral will be allowed only if all of the following conditions are met:
- Front and rear wheel speed are within 21 km/h (13 mph).
- The recessed Neutral Selection switch has been depressed continuously for 4.0 seconds ±100
msec while all shift conditions have been continuously met.
- Transmission in NEUTRAL signal recognized from the bus. (Automatic transmissions only)
- Clutch signal is recognized from the bus (Manual transmissions only).
- Proper message transmissions/receptions are occurring on the CAN bus.
- Vehicle speed is less than or equal to 4.8 km/h (3 mph).
- Ignition key switch is in the RUN position, engine off.
- Foot Brake is applied.
- A valid mode sensor signal is being sensed by the TIPM.
A shift out of transfer case Neutral will be allowed only if all of the following conditions are met:
- Front and rear wheel speed are within 21 km/h (13 mph).
- The recessed Neutral Selection switch has been depressed continuously for 1.0 seconds ±100
msec while all shift conditions have been continuously met.
- Transmission in NEUTRAL signal recognized from the bus.(Automatic transmissions only)
- Clutch signal is recognized from the bus (Manual transmissions only).
- Proper message transmissions/receptions are occurring on the CAN bus.
- Vehicle speed is less than or equal to 4.8 km/h (3 mph).
- Ignition key switch is in the RUN position.
- Foot Brake is applied.
- A valid mode sensor signal is being sensed by the TIPM.
SHIFT SEQUENCES
Once all the driver controllable conditions for the requested shift have been met, the TIPM begins a
shift timer with a maximum duration of 1 second per 'D' channel transition. If the shift timer expires
before the TIPM recognizes to correct mode sensor code, the shift is considered to have been
blocked. The blocked shift will increment the blocked shift counter by one. The TIPM strategy for
handling blocked shifts will be described later. The process the TIPM performs for the various shifts
will be described first.
RANGE AND MODE SHIFTS
The process for performing all the range and mode shifts are the same. The following steps
describe the process.
- Allow time for Selector Switch debounce; 250 msec ±50 msec.
- Extinguish the source gear's LED while flashing desired transfer case position's LED.
- Engage the shift motor for a maximum of 1 second ±100 msec per 'D' channel transition in the
destination gear's direction while monitoring the mode sensor channel transitions.
- Disengage the shift motor when the correct mode sensor code is recognized.
- Solidly illuminate the selected gear's LED.
- Transmit a bus message that the transfer case shift is complete.
- If the desired mode sensor code is not received after the shift timer expires (ie. a blocked or other
condition exists), stop driving the motor and wait for 200 msec ±50 msec. The shift motor is then
reversed in the direction back toward the source gear for up to 1.0 seconds ±100 msec. per 'D'
channel. The TIPM waits for 2.0 seconds ±50 msec. and repeats the attempt to shift to the desired
position.
The exception to the preceding sequence is when a shift from 4L to 2WD/AWD is requested. If
2WD/AWD is requested from the 4L position, the transfer case is first driven to the 4H position. If
the 4H position is reached, the transfer case is then driven back to the 2WD/AWD position and the
shift is considered complete. If the transfer case does not reach any the 4H position, but is in the
2WD/AWD 'D' channel, or the 2WD/AWD between gear position on the 4H side of 2WD/AWD, the
shift is also considered complete.
SHIFT OUT OF NEUTRAL
The following steps describe the process for a shift out of NEUTRAL.
- Extinguish the Neutral LED.
- Engage the shift motor for a maximum of 1 second ±100 msec toward the transfer case 4H mode
position while monitoring the mode sensor channel transitions.
- Disengage the shift motor when the correct mode sensor code is recognized.
- Extinguish the Neutral LED.
- Transmit a bus message that the transfer case shift is complete.
- If the desired mode sensor code is not received after the shift timer expires (ie. a blocked or other
condition exists), stop driving the motor and wait for 200 msec ±50 msec. The shift motor is then
reversed in the direction back toward the source gear for up to 1.0 seconds 100 msec. The
Dodge Ram 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (Truck V8-4.7L (2008))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Transmission and Drivetrain > Relays and
Modules - Transfer Case > Control Module, Transfer Case > Component Information > Description and Operation >
Description > Page 603
TIPM waits for 2.0 seconds ±50 msec. and repeats the attempt to shift to the desired position.
- When the Neutral button is released, if the 4H position is the desired position, the shift is
complete. Illuminate the 4H LED.
- Otherwise when the Neutral button is released, if all of the shift requirements are being met then
engage the shift motor towards the desired position for 1 second ±100 msec per 'D' channel. (if
requirements for shifting are not met, illuminate the 4H LED and flash the destination LED as an
indication to the driver that all of the driver controllable shift conditions are not being met). If this
requires another range or mode shift, begin the range/mode shift process.
- If the desired mode sensor code is not received after the shift timer expires (i.e. a blocked or other
condition exists), refer to the Blocked Shift Strategy.
BLOCKED SHIFT STRATEGY
When a shift is commanded, the shift motor will be driven towards its destination position, except in
the case of shifting out of Neutral if 4L was selected (the transfer case will shift to the 4H position
first, before proceeding to 4L). If the shift is blocked on the way to the destination, the TIPM may
attempt to drive the motor back to the original position. This process will be allowed to occur 5
times. If the transfer case has reached a non-NEUTRAL 'D' channel during the shift re-attempts,
the LED for the achieved gear position is illuminated and the shift attempts are stopped. To
re-attempt the desired shift, the selector switch will need to be rotated to the current position until
the switch debounce timer expires then a shift will need to be requested again.
At the end of the 5th blocked attempt, the shift motor is driven towards the last known 'D' channel
position. If this motor drive allows the transfer case to reach the 2WD/AWD 'D' channel, or the
2WD/AWD between gear position on the 4H side of 2WD/AWD, the shift is considered complete
and the shift attempts are ended.
If the mode sensor is in the NEUTRAL region at the expiration of the shift timer, the TIPM will
continue to make the shift attempts according to the blocked shift strategy independent of whether
or not the driver controlled conditions are met.
For shifts from NEUTRAL, if all 5 attempts fail to reach the desired position (which by default is
4H), the motor will be driven to stall in the direction of 4H or 4L, depending on the achieved
position. If the transfer case has reached the 2WD/AWD or 4L between gear position nearest the
NEUTRAL positions and the shift conditions are no longer being met, the transfer case will be
driven toward the corresponding 'D' channel. Otherwise, the transfer case will be driven in the
direction opposite the last attempt with the desired target being 4H or 4L.
If the transfer case reaches the 2WD/AWD 'D' channel when being driven in the 4H direction, then
one final 1.0 second drive toward 4H is attempted. If the transfer case then reaches any of the 4H
positions, the shift is considered complete and the 4H LED is illuminated. If the transfer case is still
the 2WD/AWD position, the shift is considered complete and the 2WD/AWD LED is illuminated.
NOTE: If after the 5th blocked shift and reversal attempt, if the transfer case position is in the
NEUTRAL region, shift attempts will continue until a non-NEUTRAL 'D' channel is reached.
SHIFT REVERSAL TARGETS
If the shift timer expires (1 second per 'D' channel) and the transfer case has not reached the
desired position, all shifts will attempt to return to their original position with the exceptions of:
- If the intended shift is going to the High rail from Low and can't make it, but it can make the
2WD/AWD position, the motor stops at that position. The TIPM will not attempt to cross back over
NEUTRAL if it does not have to. This means that there was a block on the first attempt to go to 4H
and the transfer case has made it through NEUTRAL to a known good position, then the motor will
go back only to the 2WD/4WD position and execute the remainder of the attempts from there.
- For shifts out of NEUTRAL, any time a shift is commanded out of NEUTRAL, the system needs to
get out. The TIPM should never go to NEUTRAL unless the driver is commanding it and all
required conditions are being met
ENCODER DRIFT CORRECTION
Whenever a shift is completed, the TIPM stores the position in memory as the transfer case's
intended position. The TIPM continuously monitors the mode sensor and if the mode sensor drifts
toward into a NEUTRAL region sensor position for 2.0 seconds, the TIPM will perform a motor
drive to correct the drift. The transfer case will be driven toward the intended position for 1.0
seconds 100 msec. The TIPM will wait for 2.0 seconds ±50 msec. and repeat the attempt to shift to
the desired position. This will continue until the intended position is reached.
SHIFT MOTOR BRAKING
Two modes of shift motor braking are employed to improve shift performance, static and dynamic.
Static shift motor braking is utilized under the following conditions:
- Whenever the transfer case is in the 2WD/AWD or 4L 'D' channel position.
- Whenever an invalid mode sensor code is present.
Static motor braking is achieved by applying +12V on both shift motor wires.

Modules - Transfer Case > Control Module, Transfer Case > Component Information > Description and Operation >
Description > Page 604
NOTE: Static Shift Motor Braking is independent of ignition key position.
SHIFT ATTEMPT LIMIT
To protect the transfer case system, the TIPM will impose a limit on the number of shifts that can
occur over a calibrated time period. The system will monitor the number of 'D' channel segment
transitions that occur in any 30 second time period. If the number of segment transitions is 30 or
greater, the system will go into a default mode. The default mode of operation for shifting is that the
number of allowed 'D' channel transitions permitted to occur will be 3 over each 15 second ±100
msec calibrated window of time. After 5 minutes ±100 msec, the motor can be assumed to have
cooled down and the system will revert to normal operation. The following rules also apply to the
shift limit:
- The attempt limit will not prevent shifts coming out of NEUTRAL, they will be allowed regardless
of the counter/timer.
- Any shift that is in progress when the counter reaches a maximum count in time will be allowed to
complete before the default mode is entered. D-channel transitions during this period will not be
counted towards the default mode limit.
- A block, regardless of the direction, whether towards destination or back towards reversal target
(shift timer expiring), will count as a value of 2 transitions towards the 30 segment transitions to go
into default mode as defined above. Current attempt limit values are 30 transitions in 30 seconds
and default mode values are 3 transitions every 15 seconds for 5 minutes.

Hood Sensor/Switch (For Alarm): Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The hood ajar switch is a normally closed, single pole, spring-loaded plunger actuated switch. This
switch has two unique versions that are used in two different applications. One switch is used only
on vehicles equipped with the Vehicle Theft Alarm (VTA) system for sale in certain export markets
where protection of the underhood area is required equipment. The second switch is used only on
domestic vehicles equipped with an optional remote starter system.
The molded plastic switch body (5) has an integral molded connector receptacle (1) on the lower
end containing two terminal pins. The switch is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a
dedicated take out of the headlamp and dash wire harness. Two integral latches (2) lock the switch
into a keyed mounting hole in the stamped steel switch mounting bracket. The mounting bracket is
secured with screws to the inboard side of the right front fender load beam within the engine
compartment. A molded plastic striker secured to the underside of the hood panel inner
reinforcement actuates the switch plunger as the hood panel is closed.
The switch plunger (3) extends through a mounting collar (4) and a sleeve-like retainer ring on the
upper end of the switch body. The retainer ring has a one time, self-adjustment feature that is
activated after the switch is installed by closing the hood. The retainer ring is also color-coded to
aid in identifying the switch application. A dark brown retainer ring identifies the underhood security
switch application, while a white retainer ring identifies the remote starter system application.
An installed hood ajar switch cannot be readjusted or repaired. If the switch is damaged,
ineffective, or requires readjustment, it must be replaced with a new unit. The hood ajar switch
striker is not intended for reuse. If the striker is removed from the hood inner reinforcement for any
reason, it must be replaced with a new unit.

Hood Sensor/Switch (For Alarm): Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The hood ajar switches are interchangeable physically, but not functionally. In each case, the hood
ajar switch is a normally closed switch that is held open as the spring-loaded switch plunger is
depressed by the striker on the inner hood panel reinforcement 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.
In the underhood security application (export vehicles only - dark brown retainer ring), the switch is
connected in series between ground and the hood ajar switch sense input of the Totally Integrated
Power Module (TIPM). The TIPM uses an internal resistor pull up to monitor the state of the hood
ajar switch contacts.
In the remote starter system application (domestic vehicles only - white retainer ring) the switch has
a 1 kilohm diagnostic resistor connected in parallel to the switch contacts between the two switch
terminals. The switch is connected in series between an output of the TIPM and the hood ajar
switch sense input of the TIPM. The TIPM continually monitors this circuit and will store a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for any fault that it detects.
The components of the switch self-adjustment feature include an integral stop on the shaft of the
plunger and a ribbed, ratcheting sleeve-like retainer ring at the top of the switch body from which
the plunger extends. With the switch mounting collar secured in its mounting bracket, the plunger is
depressed by the striker on the hood inner reinforcement as the hood is closed. As the plunger is
depressed, the plunger stop contacts the top of the retainer ring and it is driven downward,
ratcheting through the switch mounting collar until the hood is fully closed and latched. The ribs on
the retainer ring are engaged within the mounting collar to maintain this adjusted position.
The hood ajar switch as well as the hard wired circuits between the switch and the TIPM may be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information. However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of
the electronic controls or communication between modules and other devices related to hood ajar
switch operation that provide some features of the export vehicle theft or domestic remote starter
systems. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the electronic controls and
communication related to hood ajar switch operation requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool.
Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Remote Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The six switches in the two remote radio switch units are normally open, resistor multiplexed
momentary switches that are hard wired to the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) through the
clockspring. The TIPM 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 TIPM 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 TIPM or the PCI data bus, the use of a scan tool and the proper
Diagnostic Procedures information is recommended.

Hood Sensor/Switch (For Alarm): Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The hood ajar switch is a normally closed, single pole, spring-loaded plunger actuated switch. This
switch has two unique versions that are used in two different applications. One switch is used only
on vehicles equipped with the Vehicle Theft Alarm (VTA) system for sale in certain export markets
where protection of the underhood area is required equipment. The second switch is used only on
domestic vehicles equipped with an optional remote starter system.
The molded plastic switch body (5) has an integral molded connector receptacle (1) on the lower
end containing two terminal pins. The switch is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a
dedicated take out of the headlamp and dash wire harness. Two integral latches (2) lock the switch
into a keyed mounting hole in the stamped steel switch mounting bracket. The mounting bracket is
secured with screws to the inboard side of the right front fender load beam within the engine
compartment. A molded plastic striker secured to the underside of the hood panel inner
reinforcement actuates the switch plunger as the hood panel is closed.
The switch plunger (3) extends through a mounting collar (4) and a sleeve-like retainer ring on the
upper end of the switch body. The retainer ring has a one time, self-adjustment feature that is
activated after the switch is installed by closing the hood. The retainer ring is also color-coded to
aid in identifying the switch application. A dark brown retainer ring identifies the underhood security
switch application, while a white retainer ring identifies the remote starter system application.
An installed hood ajar switch cannot be readjusted or repaired. If the switch is damaged,
ineffective, or requires readjustment, it must be replaced with a new unit. The hood ajar switch
striker is not intended for reuse. If the striker is removed from the hood inner reinforcement for any
reason, it must be replaced with a new unit.

Hood Sensor/Switch (For Alarm): Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The hood ajar switches are interchangeable physically, but not functionally. In each case, the hood
ajar switch is a normally closed switch that is held open as the spring-loaded switch plunger is
depressed by the striker on the inner hood panel reinforcement 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.
In the underhood security application (export vehicles only - dark brown retainer ring), the switch is
connected in series between ground and the hood ajar switch sense input of the Totally Integrated
Power Module (TIPM). The TIPM uses an internal resistor pull up to monitor the state of the hood
ajar switch contacts.
In the remote starter system application (domestic vehicles only - white retainer ring) the switch has
a 1 kilohm diagnostic resistor connected in parallel to the switch contacts between the two switch
terminals. The switch is connected in series between an output of the TIPM and the hood ajar
switch sense input of the TIPM. The TIPM continually monitors this circuit and will store a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for any fault that it detects.
The components of the switch self-adjustment feature include an integral stop on the shaft of the
plunger and a ribbed, ratcheting sleeve-like retainer ring at the top of the switch body from which
the plunger extends. With the switch mounting collar secured in its mounting bracket, the plunger is
depressed by the striker on the hood inner reinforcement as the hood is closed. As the plunger is
depressed, the plunger stop contacts the top of the retainer ring and it is driven downward,
ratcheting through the switch mounting collar until the hood is fully closed and latched. The ribs on
the retainer ring are engaged within the mounting collar to maintain this adjusted position.
The hood ajar switch as well as the hard wired circuits between the switch and the TIPM may be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information. However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of
the electronic controls or communication between modules and other devices related to hood ajar
switch operation that provide some features of the export vehicle theft or domestic remote starter
systems. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the electronic controls and
communication related to hood ajar switch operation requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool.
Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Power Door Lock Switch: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
A window/lock switch is used on all models equipped with power locks, power windows, and power
mirrors. The window/lock switch houses the following switches:
- Power Lock Switch - A two-way, momentary, resistor multiplexed switch to control the power lock
system.
- Power Mirror Selector Switch - A three-position rocker switch selects the right or left power mirror
for adjustment, or turns the power mirror system Off.
- Power Mirror Adjustment Switches - Four momentary, arrowhead shaped, directional switches
allow the driver to adjust the selected power mirror in the Up, Down, Right, or Left directions.
- Power Window Lockout Switch - A two-way, latching, push-button switch allows the vehicle
operator to lock out the power window switches on each passenger door so that the passenger
door power windows may be operated only from the master switches.
- Power Window Switches - A two-way, momentary power window switch for the driver side front
door. This switch also has a second detent in the Down direction and internal circuitry to provide an
Auto-Down feature for the driver side front door power window. In addition to the power window
switch for its own door, there are individual master switches for each passenger door power
window.
The window/lock switch also incorporates several green Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs) that
illuminate the power lock and power window switch paddles, and the power mirror switch
directional buttons to improve switch visibility.

Power Door Lock Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The window/lock switch combines a power lock switch, a driver power window switch with an
Auto-down feature, master switches for each passenger door power window, a power window
lockout switch, a power mirror selector switch, and four power mirror adjustment switches in a
single unit.
Power Lock Switch
The power lock switch circuitry is connected in series between ground and the driver door switch
mux input of the instrument cluster. Each power lock switch position (Lock, Unlock, and Neutral)
provides a different resistance value to the instrument cluster input, which allows the instrument
cluster to sense the switch position. Based upon the power lock switch input, the instrument cluster
controls the battery and ground feed outputs to the individual power lock motors to lock or unlock
the door latches. The Light-Emitting Diode (LED) in the power lock switch is connected to battery
current through the power window circuit breaker in the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) on
a fused ignition switch output (run-acc) circuit. The switch will be illuminated whenever the ignition
switch is in the On or Accessory positions.
Power Window Switches
The power window switch circuitry is connected to battery current through a circuit breaker in the
Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) on a fused ignition switch output (run-acc) circuit so that
the power windows will operate whenever the ignition switch is in the On or Accessory positions.
Each two-way, momentary master passenger power window switch provides battery current and
ground to the individual power window switches on each passenger door so that the power window
switch controls the battery current and ground feeds to its respective power window motor. The
switch for the driver side front door power window is labeled "Auto" and includes an auto-down
feature. When this switch is depressed to a second momentary detent position and released, the
driver door power window is automatically operated through an internal circuit and relay to its fully
lowered position. The Auto-down event is cancelled if the switch paddle is depressed a second
time in either the Up or Down direction. When the two position window lockout switch is depressed
and latched in the lockout position, the battery current feed to each of the individual passenger
power window switches is interrupted so that the passenger door power windows can only be
operated from the master switches. The window lockout switch also controls the battery current
feed for the LED in each passenger power window switch so that the switch will not be illuminated
when it is locked out.
Power Mirror Switches
The power mirror switch circuitry is connected to battery current through a fuse in the TIPM on a
fused B(+) circuit so that the power mirrors remain operational regardless of the ignition switch
position. A rocker type selector switch has three positions, one to select the right mirror, one to
select the left mirror, and a neutral Off position. After the right or left mirror is selected, one of four
directional buttons is depressed to move the selected mirror Up, Down, Right or Left. The power
mirror switch circuitry controls the battery current and ground feeds to each of the four (two in each
mirror head) power mirror motors. The Light-Emitting Diode (LED) in the power mirror switch is
connected to battery current through the power window circuit breaker in the TIPM on a fused
ignition switch output (run-acc) circuit so that the switch directional buttons will be illuminated
whenever the ignition switch is in the On or Accessory positions.

POWER LOCK SWITCH
The Light-Emitting Diode (LED) illumination lamp of the power lock switch receives battery current
through a fuse in the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) on a fused ignition switch output
(run) circuit. The power lock switch on the driver side front door trim panel is integral to the
window/lock switch. See: Diagnosis and Testing If the power lock switch operates, but the LED is
inoperative, check for battery current at the switch with the ignition switch in the On position. If OK,
replace the faulty switch. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable. Remove the power lock switch from the door
trim panel. Disconnect the door wire harness
connector for the power lock switch from the switch connector receptacle.
2. Test the power lock switch resistance. See the Power Lock Switch Test chart to determine if the
resistance is correct for the switch in each switch
position. If not OK, replace the faulty power lock switch as required.

Power Door Lock Switch: Testing and Inspection Diagnosis and Testing
WINDOW/LOCK SWITCH
The Light-Emitting Diode (LED) illumination lamps for all of the Driver Door Module (DDM) power
window, power lock, and power mirror switches receive battery current through the power window
circuit breaker in the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM). If all of the LED's are inoperative in
the DDM, be certain to diagnose the power window system before replacing the switch unit. See:
Powertrain Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic
Trouble Code Tests and Associated Procedures . If only one LED in the DDM is inoperative,
replace the faulty DDM. If the driver side front door power window operates in a normal manner,
but the Auto-Down feature is inoperative, replace the faulty DDM. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information.
1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable. Remove the DDM from the door trim panel.
Disconnect the door wire harness connectors for the
DDM from the DDM connector receptacles.
2. Test the DDM switch continuity. See the Driver Door Module Switch Tests chart to determine if
the continuity is correct for the suspect switches
in each switch position. If not OK, replace the faulty DDM as required.

applied through the switch contacts to the power seat track adjuster motor. The selected adjuster
motor operates to move the seat track or recliner through its drive unit in the selected direction until
the switch is released, or until the travel limit of the adjuster 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 adjuster 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 continue, or the motor may be damaged.

Seat Heater Switch: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
Momentary contact push button switch/modules mounted in the instrument panel center bezel
operate the heated seat system. Each heated seat switch/module has two Light-Emitting Diode
(LED) indicator lamps, which indicate the selected level (Low or High) of the seat heater. Pressing
the switch/module button initiates heat. Heat remains on until switched off or until the ignition is
turned off. If switched off by the ignition, a switch/module button must be pressed to restart heating.
The switch/modules contain the solid state electronic control and diagnostic logic circuitry for the
heated seat system. If any of the heated seat elements are inoperative or damaged one or more of
the LED lamps in the switch/module for the effected seat will flash.
The LED indicator lamps in each heated seat switch/module cannot be repaired. If the LED lamps
are faulty or damaged, or the switch/module is inoperative or damaged the individual heated seat
switch/module assembly must be replaced. See: Service and Repair/Heated Seat Switch Removal for the switch/module replacement procedure.

Seat Heater Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
A Heated Seat Switch/Module is used to control the heated seat system. The heated seat
switch/modules receive battery current through a fused ignition switch output (run) circuit when the
ignition switch is in the On position. The switch/module responds to heated seat switch/module
button input and ignition switch status inputs by controlling the 12v output to the front seat heating
elements through integral solid-state relays.
When either of the heated seat switch/module buttons are depressed the heating element for the
selected seat is energized. Amber Light Emitting Diodes (LEDS) on the side of each switch/module
indicate the level of heat in use: Two LEDs are illuminated for high, one for low, and none for off.
Pressing the switch/module button once will select high-level heating. Pressing the button a second
time will select low-level heating. Pressing the button a third time will shut the heating elements off.
The heated seat switch/module energizes an integral solid-state relay, which supplies battery
current to the heating elements. When high-temperature heating is selected, the heaters provide a
boosted heat level during the first four minutes of operation after heating is activated. The heat
output then drops to the normal high-temperature level. If high-level heating is selected, the control
system will automatically switch to the low level after two hours of continuous operation. At that
time, the number of illuminated LEDs changes from two to one, indicating the change. Operation
on the low setting will continue indefinitely until the switch/module button is pushed to turn the
system off.

Parking Brake Warning Switch: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The park brake switch (1) is located on the park brake lever mechanism on the cowl side inner
panel below the instrument panel, to the left of the steering column. This switch includes a
spade-type output terminal (3) that connects the switch to the vehicle electrical system through a
dedicated take out and connector of the body wire harness. The output terminal is integral to the
stationary contact within a molded plastic insulator.
A locating tab on the insulator engages a slot in the park brake lever mechanism for positive switch
location. External to the insulator is a movable leaf contact with an integral grounding lug (4) on
one end and an integral actuating lever and follower (2) on the opposite end. The switch is secured
to and grounded by a single screw to the park brake lever mechanism.
The park brake switch cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, it must be
replaced.

Parking Brake Warning Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The park brake switch is a normally closed, mechanically actuated leaf contact switch that is
operated by the park brake lever mechanism. The switch is grounded through its mounting to the
park brake lever mechanism and provides a ground input to the ElectroMechanical Instrument
Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN) on a park brake switch sense
circuit whenever the park brake is applied, and opens this circuit whenever the park brake is
released. The park brake switch sense input to the EMIC is used for control of the brake indicator
and may also be used as a logic input for other electronic features in the vehicle.
The park brake switch as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the switch may be diagnosed
using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.

Parking Brake Warning Switch: Testing and Inspection
PARK BRAKE SWITCH
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before attempting any steering wheel, steering column,
airbag, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service.
Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system
capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to
disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag
deployment.
NOTE: If the brake indicator stays ON with the ignition switch in the ON position and the park brake
released, or comes ON while driving, the brake system must be diagnosed and repaired prior to
performing the following tests. Refer to appropriate testing. If no brake system problem is found,
the following procedures will help to locate a shorted or open park brake switch sense circuit, or an
ineffective park brake switch.
INDICATOR ILLUMINATES DURING BULB TEST, BUT DOES NOT WHEN PARK BRAKE
APPLIED
1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable. Disconnect the body wire harness connector
for the park brake switch from the switch terminal.
Apply the parking brake. Check for continuity between the park brake switch terminal and a good
ground. There should be continuity. If OK, go to STEP 2. If not OK, replace the ineffective park
brake switch.
2. Disconnect the instrument panel wire harness connector (Connector C1) for the instrument
cluster from the cluster connector receptacle. Check for
continuity between the park brake switch sense circuit cavities of the body wire harness connector
for the park brake switch and the instrument panel wire harness connector for the instrument
cluster. There should be continuity. If not OK, repair the open park brake switch sense circuit
between the park brake switch and the instrument cluster as required.
INDICATOR REMAINS ILLUMINATED - BRAKE SYSTEM CHECKS OKAY
3. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable. Disconnect the body wire harness connector
for the park brake switch from the switch terminal.
Check for continuity between the terminal of the park brake switch and a good ground. There
should be no continuity with the park brake released, and continuity with the park brake applied. If
OK, go to STEP 2. If not OK, replace the ineffective park brake switch.
4. Disconnect the instrument panel wire harness connector (Connector C1) for the instrument
cluster from the cluster connector receptacle. Check for
continuity between the park brake switch sense circuit cavity of the body wire harness connector
for the park brake switch and a good ground. There should be no continuity. If not OK, repair the
shorted park brake switch sense circuit between the park brake switch and the instrument cluster
as required.

Parking Brake Warning Switch: Service and Repair Installation
INSTALLATION
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before attempting any steering wheel, steering column,
airbag, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service.
Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system
capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to
disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag
deployment.
1. Reach under the left end of the instrument panel to position the park brake switch (4) onto the
park brake lever mechanism (1) on the left cowl side
inner panel. Be certain to engage the locating pin on the back of the switch insulator into the
locating slot in the lever mechanism bracket.
2. Install and tighten the screw (3) that secures the park brake switch to the park brake lever
mechanism. Tighten the screw to 3 Nm (24 in. lbs.). 3. Reconnect the body wire harness connector
(2) to the terminal of the park brake switch. 4. Reconnect the battery negative cable. 5. Turn the
ignition switch to the ON position and check for proper brake indicator operation with the parking
brake applied, then release the parking
brake and check that the brake indicator extinguishes.

Wheel Speed Sensor: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The ABS brake system uses 3 wheel speed sensors. A sensor is mounted to each front
hub/bearings. The third sensor is mounted on top of the rear axle differential housing.

Wheel Speed Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The Wheel Speed Sensor consists of a magnet (1) surrounded by windings from a single strand of
wire (5). The sensor sends a small AC signal to the ABM. This signal is generated by magnetic
induction. The magnetic induction is created when a toothed sensor ring (exciter ring or tone
wheel) (4) passes the stationary magnetic WSS.
When the ring gear is rotated, the exciter ring (4) passes the tip of the WSS. As the exciter ring
tooth approaches the tip of the WSS, the magnetic lines of force expand, causing the magnetic
field to cut across the sensor's windings (5). This, in turn causes current to flow through the WSS
circuit in one direction. When the exciter ring tooth moves away from the sensor tip, the magnetic
lines of force collapse cutting the winding in the opposite direction. This causes the current to flow
in the opposite direction. Every time a tooth of the exciter ring passes the tip of the WSS, an AC
signal is generated current. Each AC signal (positive to negative signal or squarewave) is
interpreted by the ABM. It then compares the frequency of the sinewave to a time value to calculate
vehicle speed. The ABM continues to monitor the frequency to determine a deceleration rate that
would indicate a possible wheel-locking tendency.
The signal strength of any magnetic induction sensor is directly affected by:
- Magnetic field strength; the stronger the magnetic field, the stronger the signal
- Number of windings in the sensor; more windings provide a stronger signal
- Exciter ring speed; the faster the exciter ring/tone wheel rotates, the stronger the signal will be
- Distance (3) "air gap" between the exciter ring teeth and WSS; the closer the WSS is to the
exciter ring/tone wheel, the stronger the signal will be.
The WSS is not adjustable. A clearance specification has been established for manufacturing
tolerances. If the clearance is not within these specifications, then either the WSS or other
components may be damaged. The clearance between the WSS and the exciter ring is 0.005 0.050 in.
The assembly plant performs a "Rolls Test" on every vehicle that leaves the assembly plant. One
of the test performed is a test of the WSS. To properly test the sensor, the assembly plant connects
test equipment to the Data Link Connector (DLC). This connector is located to the right of the
steering column and attached to the lower portion of the instrument panel. The rolls test terminal is
spliced to the WSS circuit. The vehicle is then driven on a set of rollers and the WSS output is
monitored for proper operation.

Wheel Speed Sensor: Testing and Inspection
REAR WHEEL ANTILOCK
Diagnosis of base brake conditions which are mechanical in nature should be performed first. This
includes brake noise, lack of power assist, parking brake, or vehicle vibration during normal
braking.
The RWAL brake system performs several self-tests every time the ignition switch is turned on and
the vehicle is driven. The CAB monitors the system inputs and outputs circuits to verify the system
is operating properly. If the CAB senses a malfunction in the system it will set a DTC into memory
and trigger the warning lamp.
NOTE: A scan tool is used to diagnose the RWAL system. For test procedures refer to the ABS
Electrical Diagnostic Section.

Evaporator Temperature Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
NOTE: Cutaway of HVAC housing shown for clarity.
The evaporator temperature sensor (1) is an electrical thermistor located within a molded plastic
case that is inserted into the top of the HVAC housing (2) to measure the temperature of the
conditioned air downstream of the A/C evaporator (3). Two terminals within the connector
receptacle connect the sensor to the vehicle electrical system through a wire lead and connector of
the HVAC wire harness.
The external location of the evaporator temperature sensor allows the sensor to be removed or
installed without disturbing the refrigerant in the A/C system.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - HVAC > Evaporator Temperature Sensor /
Switch > Component Information > Description and Operation > Description > Page 934
Evaporator Temperature Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The evaporator temperature sensor monitors the temperature of the conditioned air downstream of
the A/C evaporator and supplies an input signal to the A/C-heater control. The A/C-heater control
uses the evaporator temperature sensor input signal to optimize A/C system performance and to
protect the A/C system from evaporator freezing. The evaporator temperature sensor will change
its internal resistance in response to the temperatures it monitors and is connected to the
A/C-heater control through sensor ground circuit and a 5-volt reference signal circuit. As the
temperature of the A/C evaporator decreases, the internal resistance of the evaporator temperature
sensor decreases.
The A/C-heater control uses the monitored voltage reading as an indication of evaporator
temperature. The A/C-heater control is programmed to respond to this input by requesting the
powertrain control module (PCM) or the engine control module (ECM) (depending on engine
application) to cycle the A/C compressor clutch as necessary to optimize A/C system performance
and to protect the A/C system from evaporator freezing.
The evaporator temperature sensor is diagnosed using a scan tool See: Heating and Air
Conditioning/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/Heating-A/C
System Diagnostics .
The evaporator temperature sensor cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if found
inoperative or damaged.

Refrigerant Pressure Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The A/C pressure transducer (1) is a switch that is installed on a fitting located on the A/C
discharge line. An internally threaded fitting on the A/C pressure transducer connects it to the
externally threaded Schrader-type fitting on the A/C discharge line. A rubber O-ring seals the
connection between the A/C pressure transducer and the discharge line fitting. The A/C pressure
transducer is connected to the vehicle electrical system by a molded plastic connector with three
terminals.

Refrigerant Pressure Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The A/C pressure transducer monitors the pressures in the high side of the refrigerant system
through its connection to a fitting on the A/C discharge line and its internal resistance changes in
response to the pressures it monitors. The powertrain control module (PCM) or the engine control
module (ECM) (depending on engine application) provides a five volt reference signal and a sensor
ground to the A/C pressure transducer, then monitors the output voltage of the transducer on a
sensor return circuit to determine refrigerant pressure. The PCM/ECM is programmed to respond
to this and other sensor inputs by controlling the operation of the A/C compressor clutch and the
radiator cooling fan to help optimize A/C system performance and to protect the system
components from damage. The PCM/ECM will disengage the A/C compressor clutch when high
side pressure rises above 3172 kPa (460 psi) and re-engage the clutch when high side pressure
drops below 1999 kPa (290 psi). The A/C pressure transducer will also disengage the A/C
compressor clutch if the high side pressure drops below 193 kPa (28 psi) and will re-engage the
clutch when the high side pressure rises above 234 kPa (34 psi). If the refrigerant pressure rises
above 1655 kPa (240 psi), the PCM will actuate the cooling fan. The A/C pressure transducer
signal to the PCM/ECM also prevents the A/C compressor clutch from engaging when ambient
temperatures are below about 10° C (50° F) due to the pressure/temperature relationship of the
refrigerant.
A Schrader-type valve in the A/C discharge line fitting permits the A/C pressure transducer to be
removed or installed without disturbing the refrigerant in the A/C system.
The A/C pressure transducer is diagnosed using a scan tool.
The A/C pressure transducer cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if found
inoperative or damaged.

Door Switch: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
This vehicle has up to four door ajar switches, one for each door. Each switch is concealed within
and integral to its respective door latch unit. The switches are momentary leaf contact-type units
that are actuated by the mechanisms internal to the door latch. A short pigtail wire and connector
on each door latch connects the door ajar switch to the vehicle electrical system through its
respective door wire harness.
The door ajar switches cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, the door latch
unit must be replaced. See: Body and Frame/Doors, Hood and Trunk/Doors/Front Door/Front Door

Door Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The door ajar switches are actuated by the mechanisms internal to the door latch. When a door is
closed and properly latched, its door ajar switch is an open circuit. When a door is open or only
partially latched, the door ajar switch is a closed circuit. The door ajar switches are hard wired in
series between a body ground and the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known
as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN).
The EMIC reads the hard wired door ajar switch inputs through internal pull-ups, then uses these
inputs to control many electronic functions and features of the vehicle. The EMIC also sends the
proper electronic door ajar switch status messages to other electronic modules in the vehicle over
the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The door ajar switches as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the switches may be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information.

Outside Temperature Display Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The ambient temperature sensor is a variable resistor that operates on a five-volt reference signal
sent by the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM). The resistance in the sensor changes as
temperature changes, changing the temperature sensor signal circuit voltage to the TIPM. Based
upon the resistance in the sensor, the TIPM senses a specific voltage on the temperature sensor
signal circuit. The TIPM then translates the voltage into a temperature reading that it sent over the
Programmable Communications Interface (PCI) data bus circuit to other modules utilizing
temperature information.

Outside Temperature Display Sensor: Testing and Inspection
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The temperature function is supported by the ambient temperature sensor, a wiring circuit, and the
Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM). When the sensor is exposed to temperatures above 60°
C (140° F), or if the sensor circuit is shorted, 60° C (130/140° F) will appear in the display in place
of the temperature. When the sensor is exposed to temperatures below - 40° C (- 40° F) or if the
sensor circuit is open, - 40° C (- 40° F) will appear in the display for Compass Mini - Trip Computer
(CMTC) equipped vehicles and - - ° C (- - ° F) will be displayed on Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC) equipped vehicles.
The ambient temperature sensor circuit can be diagnosed using the following Temperature System
Test, and Sensor Test. If the temperature sensor and circuit are confirmed to be OK, but the
temperature display is inoperative or incorrect, test the Compass Mini - Trip Computer (CMTC),
See: Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators/Compass/Testing and Inspection or
Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC), See: Accessories and Optional
Equipment/Driver/Vehicle Information Display/Testing and Inspection as applicable.
TEMPERATURE SYSTEM TEST
For complete circuit diagrams, refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wiring information
includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector repair procedures, details of wire harness
routing and retention, connector pin-out information and location views for the various wire harness
connectors, splices and grounds.
NOTE: Temperature readings do not update immediately. Allow up to 60 seconds after the ignition
switch is turned to the On position for readings to meet test specifications.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the Off position. Disconnect the wire harness connector from the
ambient temperature sensor. 2. Turn the ignition switch to the On position. The CMTC display
should now read - 40° C (- 40° F) or the EVIC display should now read - - ° C (- ° F). If OK, go to STEP 3. If not OK, repair the shorted sensor return circuit or ambient temperature
sensor signal circuit to the ambient temperature sensor as required.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the Off position. Taking care not to damage the wire terminals,
connect a jumper wire between the two terminals in the
body half of the ambient temperature sensor harness connector.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the On position. The CMTC or EVIC display should now read 60° C
(130/140° F). If OK, go to STEP 5. If not OK,
repair the open sensor return circuit or ambient temperature sensor signal circuit to the ambient
temperature sensor as required.
5. Clear any Diagnostic Trouble Codes that may have been set while performing the test. Perform
further diagnosis of the Compass Mini - Trip
Computer (CMTC), See: Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators/Compass/Testing and
Inspection or Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC), See: Accessories and Optional
Equipment/Driver/Vehicle Information Display/Testing and Inspection as applicable.
SENSOR TEST
1. Turn the ignition switch to the Off position. Disconnect the ambient temperature sensor harness
connector. 2. Measure the resistance of the ambient temperature sensor. At - 40° C (- 40° F), the
sensor resistance is 336 Kohms. At 55° C (130° F), the sensor
resistance is 2.488 Kohms. The sensor resistance should read between these two values. If OK,
perform further diagnosis of the Compass Mini - Trip Computer (CMTC), See: Instrument Panel,
Gauges and Warning Indicators/Compass/Testing and Inspection or Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC), See: Accessories and Optional Equipment/Driver/Vehicle Information
Display/Testing and Inspection as applicable. If not OK, replace the inoperative ambient

Backup Lamp Switch: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with a manual transmission have a normally open, spring-loaded plunger type
backup lamp switch (2). 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.
Refer to the service and diagnostic information for the automatic transmission type installed in the
vehicle.
The backup lamp switch is located in a threaded hole on the side of the manual transmission
housing. The switch has a threaded body and a hex formation near the plunger end of the switch.
An integral connector receptacle at the end of the switch opposite the plunger connects the switch
to the vehicle electrical system through a take out and connector of the engine wire harness. When
installed, only the switch connector and the hex formation are visible on the outside of the
transmission housing.
The backup lamp switch cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, the entire
switch unit must be replaced.

Backup Lamp Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The backup lamp switch controls the flow of battery voltage to the backup lamp bulbs through an
output on the backup lamp feed circuit. The switch plunger is mechanically actuated by the
gearshift mechanism within the transmission, which will depress the switch plunger and close the
switch contacts whenever the REVERSE gear has been selected. The switch receives battery
voltage through a fuse in the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) on a fused ignition switch
output (run) circuit whenever the ignition switch is in the ON position.
The backup lamp switch as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the switch may be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information.

Brake Light Switch: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The brake lamp switch (2) is a three circuit, spring-loaded plunger actuated switch that is secured
to the steering column support bracket under the instrument panel on the driver side of the vehicle.
The molded plastic switch housing has an integral connector receptacle (1) containing six terminal
pins and featuring a Connector Position Assurance (CPA) lock. The switch is connected to the
vehicle electrical system through a dedicated take out of the instrument panel wire harness.
The switch plunger (3) extends through a mounting collar (4) on one end of the switch housing. The
plunger has a one time telescoping self-adjustment feature that is activated after the switch is
installed by moving an adjustment release lever (5) on the opposite end of the switch housing
clockwise, until it locks into a position that is horizontal and parallel to the connector receptacle.
An installed brake lamp switch cannot be readjusted or repaired. If the switch is damaged,
ineffective, or removed from its mounting position for any reason, it must be replaced with a new
unit.

Brake Light Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The brake lamp switch controls three independent circuits. These circuits are described as follows:
- Brake Lamp Switch Circuit - A normally open brake lamp switch circuit receives a battery voltage
input, and supplies this battery voltage to the brake lamps and the Controller Antilock Brake (CAB)
on a brake lamp switch output circuit only when the brake pedal is depressed (brake lamp switch
plunger released).
- Brake Lamp Switch Signal Circuit - A normally closed brake lamp switch signal circuit receives a
direct path to ground, and supplies this ground input to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) on a
brake lamp switch sense circuit only when the brake pedal is released (brake lamp switch plunger
is depressed).
- Speed Control Circuit - A normally closed speed control circuit receives a battery voltage input
from the Powertrain Control Module on a speed control supply circuit, and supplies this battery
voltage to the speed control servo solenoids (dump, vacuum, and vent) on a speed control brake
switch output circuit only when the speed control system is turned ON and the brake pedal is
released (brake lamp switch plunger is depressed).
The components of the self-adjusting brake switch plunger consist of a two-piece telescoping
plunger, a split plunger locking collar, and a release wedge. The release lever has a shaft with a
wedge that spreads the plunger locking collar to an open or released position. After the switch is
installed and the brake pedal is released, the plunger telescopes to the correct adjustment position.
When the release lever is moved to the release position, the wedge is disengaged from the locking
collar causing the collar to apply a clamping pressure to the two plunger halves, fixing the plunger
length.
The brake lamp switch as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the switch may be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information.

Combination Switch: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The multi-function switch (3) is located on the steering column, just below the steering wheel. The
only visible components of the multi-function switch are the control stalk (2) and control knob (1)
that extend through the steering column shrouds on the left side of the column, and the hazard
warning push button (4) that extends through the shroud on the top of the column. The remainder
of the switch including its mounting provisions, its electrical connection, and the turn signal cancel
actuator (5) are concealed beneath the shrouds.
The switch housing and controls are constructed of molded black plastic. Each of the switch
controls has white International Control and Display Symbol graphics applied to it, which clearly
identify its many functions. Three integral locating posts on the switch housing, one on the top and
two on the bottom, slide into channels in a receptacle on the left side of the multi-function switch
mounting housing near the top of the steering column to ensure proper positioning of the switch.
Then two screws secure the switch to the mounting housing. A single integral connector receptacle
containing four terminal pins on the back of the switch housing connects the switch to the vehicle
electrical system through a dedicated take out and connector of the instrument panel wire harness.
The multi-function switch provides the vehicle operator with a control interface for the following
functions:
- Hazard Warning Control - The multi-function switch hazard warning push button provides two
detent positions (ON and OFF) to control the hazard warning lamps.
Headlamp Beam Selection - The multi-function switch control stalk provides detent switching for
selection of the headlamp HIGH or LOW beams. There is also an intermediate momentary position
that allows the headlamp high beam circuits to be momentarily flashed to provide an optical horn
feature (sometimes referred to as flash-to-pass) as an optical signalling device.
- Turn Signal Control - The multi-function switch control stalk provides momentary non-detent (lane
change) switching or detent switching with automatic cancellation for both the left and right turn
signal lamps.
- Washer Control - The multi-function switch control knob provides a momentary WASH position for
washer system operation.
- Wiper Control - The multi-function switch control knob provides two continuous wipe switch
positions, LOW speed or HIGH speed; and an intermittent wipe mode with five delay interval
positions.
The multi-function switch cannot be adjusted or repaired. If any function of the switch is ineffective,
or if the switch is damaged, the entire switch must be replaced as a unit.

Combination Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The multi-function switch uses resistor multiplexing to control the many functions and features it
provides using only three hard wired output circuits. The switch receives a clean ground from the
ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN)
on a multi-function switch return circuit. It then provides outputs to the EMIC on a wash/beam
select switch signal circuit to control washer and headlamp beam selection, on an intermittent wiper
switch signal circuit to control wipers, and on a turn lamps switch signal circuit to control turn signal
and hazard warning functions.
The multi-function switch operates as follows:
- Hazard Warning Control - The hazard warning push button of the multi-function switch is
depressed to activate the hazard warning system, and depressed again to turn the system OFF.
When the push button is actuated, the multi-function switch provides an output to the EMIC, and
the EMIC responds by sending electronic hazard switch status messages to the Totally Integrated
Power Module (TIPM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus. The TIPM then energizes
and flashes or de-energizes both the left and right turn signal circuits to provide the visual hazard
warning.
- Headlamp Beam Selection - The control stalk of the multi-function switch is pulled towards the
steering wheel past a detent to actuate the integral beam select switch circuitry, or to an
intermediate, momentary position before the detent to actuate the optical horn feature. Each time
the control stalk is actuated to a detent position, the opposite headlamp beam from what is
currently selected will be energized. Each time the control stalk is actuated to the momentary
position with the headlamps turned OFF, the headlamp high beams will be illuminated for as long
as the control stalk is held in this position. The multi-function switch provides an output to the
EMIC, and the EMIC responds by sending electronic beam select switch status messages to the
TIPM over the CAN data bus. The TIPM energizes or de-energizes the selected LOW or HIGH
beam circuits.
- Turn Signal Control - The control stalk of the multi-function switch is moved upward to activate the
RIGHT turn signal circuitry, and, downward to activate the LEFT turn signal circuitry. The turn
signal switch has a detent position in each direction that provides turn signals with automatic
cancellation, and an intermediate, momentary position in each direction that automatically provides
three turn signal blinks as a LANE CHANGE feature when the control stalk is tapped or will
energize the turn signals for as long as the control stalk is held in the momentary position. When
the control stalk is moved to a detent turn signal switch position, the cancel actuator extends
toward the center of the steering column. A turn signal cancel cam that is integral to the clockspring
rotates with the steering wheel and the cam lobes contact the cancel actuator when it is extended
from the multi-function switch. When the steering wheel is rotated during a turning maneuver, one
of the two turn signal cancel cam lobes will contact the turn signal cancel actuator. The cancel
actuator latches against the cancel cam rotation in the direction opposite that which is signaled. If
the LEFT turn signal detent is selected, the lobes of the cancel cam will ratchet past the cancel
actuator when the steering wheel is rotated to the left, but will unlatch the cancel actuator as the
steering wheel rotates to the right and returns to center, which will cancel the turn signal event and
release the control stalk from the detent so it returns to the neutral OFF position. When a turn
signal is activated, the multi-function switch provides an output to the EMIC, and the EMIC
responds by sending electronic turn signal switch status messages to the TIPM over the CAN data
bus. The TIPM energizes and flashes or de-energizes the selected left or right turn signal circuits.
- Washer Control - The control knob on the end of the multi-function switch control stalk is
depressed towards the steering column to momentarily activate the washer pump in the WASH
mode. The washer pump will continue to operate in the washer mode until the control knob is
released. The multi-function switch provides an output to the EMIC, and the EMIC responds by
sending electronic washer switch status messages to the TIPM over the CAN data bus. The TIPM
responds by energizing or de-energizing the washer pump in the washer mode.
- Wiper Control - The control knob on the end of the multi-function switch control stalk is rotated to
one of the continuous wiper detents, to one of five intermittent wiper detents, or to the OFF position
to select the wiper mode. The multi-function switch provides an output to the EMIC, and the EMIC
responds by sending electronic wiper switch status messages to the TIPM over the CAN data bus.
The TIPM responds by energizing or de-energizing the wiper motor. The TIPM is programmed to
operate the wiper motor at the selected low or high continuous wipe speed, and to provide the
selected electronically controlled speed-sensitive intermittent wipe or wipe-after-wash mode
features.
The multi-function switch as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the switch may be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information.

Door Switch: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
This vehicle has up to four door ajar switches, one for each door. Each switch is concealed within
and integral to its respective door latch unit. The switches are momentary leaf contact-type units
that are actuated by the mechanisms internal to the door latch. A short pigtail wire and connector
on each door latch connects the door ajar switch to the vehicle electrical system through its
respective door wire harness.
The door ajar switches cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, the door latch
unit must be replaced. See: Body and Frame/Doors, Hood and Trunk/Doors/Front Door/Front Door
Latch/Service and Repair/Front Door Latch - Removal or See: Body and Frame/Doors, Hood and

Door Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The door ajar switches are actuated by the mechanisms internal to the door latch. When a door is
closed and properly latched, its door ajar switch is an open circuit. When a door is open or only
partially latched, the door ajar switch is a closed circuit. The door ajar switches are hard wired in
series between a body ground and the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known
as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN).
The EMIC reads the hard wired door ajar switch inputs through internal pull-ups, then uses these
inputs to control many electronic functions and features of the vehicle. The EMIC also sends the
proper electronic door ajar switch status messages to other electronic modules in the vehicle over
the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The door ajar switches as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the switches may be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information.

Headlamp Switch: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The headlamp switch (1) is located on the instrument panel, to the left of the steering column. Two
different switches are used. The standard switch features a three-position rotary knob (4) for
exterior lighting control, a thumbwheel (2) for panel lamps dimming and interior lighting control, and
a momentary push button (3) for cargo lamp control. An optional switch has a momentary PUSH
function added to the rotary knob for front fog lamp control.
Each of these switches is constructed of molded plastic. The rotary knob is molded plastic and
knurled around its circumference to ease operator control. The thumbwheel is also plastic and
knurled. On vehicles with optional fog lamps the rotary knob also has the text PUSH and an
International Control and Display Symbol icon for Front Fog Light applied to it. The cargo lamp
push button is plastic with a smooth finish and the text CARGO applied to it. The switch face plate
is also labeled with graphics and icons to clearly identify the many functions of the rotary knob and
thumbwheel.
Three screws secure the switch to the back of the cluster bezel through integral mounting flanges
that are molded to each side of the switch housing. The back of the switch housing has an integral
connector receptacle containing terminal pins that connect the switch to the vehicle electrical
system through a dedicated take out and connector of the instrument panel wire harness. A panel
dimmer controlled incandescent bulb soldered to the circuit board within the switch provides back
lighting for visibility at night, but is not serviceable.
The headlamp switch cannot be repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, it must be replaced.

Headlamp Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The headlamp switch uses two resistor multiplexed outputs and one conventional output to control
the many functions and features it provides. The switch receives a clean ground from the
ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN)
on a headlamp switch return circuit. It then provides outputs to the EMIC on a headlamp switch
signal circuit to control exterior lighting functions, on a panel lamps dimmer signal circuit to control
panel dimmer and interior lighting functions, and on a cargo lamp return circuit to control the cargo
lamps.
The switch illumination circuit receives a path to ground at all times through the left instrument
panel ground circuit. The illumination level is controlled by a Pulse-Width Modulated (PWM) output
received from the EMIC on a headlamp switch illumination control circuit. The EMIC controls this
output based upon the dimmer signal select mux input from the headlamp switch.
The headlamp switch operates as follows:
- Cargo Lamps Control - The cargo lamp push button on the headlamp switch is depressed to
activate or deactivate the cargo lamps. The headlamp switch provides an output to the EMIC, and
the EMIC responds by providing the appropriate cargo lighting control outputs through its internal
cargo lamp driver circuit.
Front Fog Lamps Control - For vehicles so equipped, the rotary knob on the headlamp switch is
depressed to activate or deactivate the optional front fog lamps. The headlamp switch provides an
output to the EMIC, and the EMIC responds by sending electronic fog lamp switch status
messages to the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN)
data bus. The TIPM responds by energizing or de-energizing the front fog lamps and by sending an
electronic message back to the EMIC to control the front fog lamp indicator.
- Exterior Lighting Control - The rotary knob on the headlamp switch is rotated to a detent position
to activate or deactivate the exterior lighting. The headlamp switch provides an output to the EMIC,
and the EMIC responds by sending electronic exterior lighting switch status messages to the TIPM
over the CAN data bus. The TIPM responds by energizing or de-energizing the park lamp and the
high or low beam headlamp circuits, and by sending an electronic message back to the EMIC to
control the high beam indicator. The TIPM also remembers which headlamp beams were last
selected with the multi-function switch, and energizes those beams by default the next time the
headlamps are turned ON.
- Interior Lighting Control - The thumbwheel on the headlamp switch is rotated to the dome
DEFEAT, dome ON, PARADE mode, or one of the six panel dimmer detent positions to control the
interior courtesy/dome and panel lamps. The headlamp switch provides an output to the EMIC, and
the EMIC responds by providing the appropriate interior lighting control outputs through its internal
courtesy lamp driver circuits, electronic dimming level messages to other modules over the CAN
data bus, and the proper PWM outputs to control dimming levels through several panel dimmer
illumination control driver circuits.
The headlamp switch as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the switch may be diagnosed
using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.

Battery Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation Battery Temperature Sensor - Operation
OPERATION
The BTS is used to determine the battery temperature and control battery charging rate. This
temperature data, along with data from monitored line voltage, is used by the PCM (ECM Diesel) to
vary the battery charging rate. System voltage will be higher at colder temperatures and is
gradually reduced at warmer temperatures.
The PCM sends 5 volts to the sensor and is grounded through the sensor return line. As
temperature increases, resistance in the sensor decreases and the detection voltage at the PCM
increases.
The BTS is also used for OBD II diagnostics. Certain faults and OBD II monitors are either enabled
or disabled, depending upon BTS input (for example, disable purge and enable Leak Detection
Pump (LDP) and O2 sensor heater tests). Most OBD II monitors are disabled below 20°F.

Camshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
4.7L
The CMP sensor engine contains a hall effect device called a sync signal generator to generate a
fuel sync signal. This sync signal generator detects notches located on a tonewheel. The
tonewheel (4) is located at the front of the camshaft for the right cylinder head (2). As the
tonewheel rotates, the notches (1) pass through the sync signal generator. The pattern of the
notches (viewed counter-clockwise from front of engine) is: 1 notch, 2 notches, 3 notches, 3
notches, 2 notches, 1 notch, 3 notches and 1 notch. The signal from the CMP sensor is used in
conjunction with the crankshaft position sensor to differentiate between fuel injection and spark
events. It is also used to synchronize the fuel injectors with their respective cylinders.

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
4.7L V-8
Engine speed and crankshaft position are provided through the CKP (Crankshaft Position) sensor.
The sensor generates pulses that are the input sent to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The
PCM interprets the sensor input to determine the crankshaft position. The PCM then uses this
position, along with other inputs, to determine injector sequence and ignition timing.
The sensor is a hall effect device combined with an internal magnet. It is also sensitive to steel
within a certain distance from it.
A tonewheel (1) is bolted to the engine crankshaft. This tonewheel has sets of notches (2) at its
outer edge.
The notches cause a pulse to be generated when they pass under the sensor. The pulses are the
input to the PCM.

DESCRIPTION
The fuel pump module assembly is located on the top of the fuel tank. The complete assembly
contains the following components:
- A combination fuel filter/fuel pressure regulator
- A separate fuel pick-up, or inlet filter
- An electric fuel pump
- A lockring to retain pump module to tank
- A soft gasket between tank flange and module
- A fuel gauge sending unit (fuel level sensor)
- Fuel line connection
The fuel gauge sending unit may be serviced separately. If the electrical fuel pump, primary inlet
filter, fuel filter or fuel pressure regulator require service, the fuel pump module must be replaced.

Fuel Level Sensor: Description and Operation Fuel Pump
Description
DESCRIPTION
The electric fuel pump is located inside of the fuel pump module. A 12 volt, permanent magnet,
electric motor powers the fuel pump. The electric fuel pump is not a separate, serviceable
component.
Operation
OPERATION
Voltage to operate the electric pump is supplied through the fuel pump relay.
Fuel is drawn in through a filter at the bottom of the module and pushed through the electric motor
gearset to the pump outlet.
Check Valve Operation: The bottom section of the fuel pump module contains a one-way check
valve to prevent fuel flow back into the tank and to maintain fuel supply line pressure (engine
warm) when pump is not operational. It is also used to keep the fuel supply line full of gasoline
when pump is not operational. After the vehicle has cooled down, fuel pressure may drop to 0 psi
(cold fluid contracts), but liquid gasoline will remain in fuel supply line between the check valve and
fuel injectors.Fuel pressure that has dropped to 0 psi on a cooled down vehicle (engine off) is a
normal condition.
The electric fuel pump is not a separate, serviceable component.

Intake Air Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation
OPERATION
The IAT sensor provides an input voltage to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) indicating the
density of the air entering the intake manifold based upon intake manifold temperature. At key-on,
a 5-volt power circuit is supplied to the sensor from the PCM. The sensor is grounded at the PCM
through a low-noise, sensor-return circuit.
The PCM uses this input to calculate the following:
- Injector pulse-width
- Adjustment of spark timing (to help prevent spark knock with high intake manifold air-charge
temperatures)
The resistance values of the IAT sensor is the same as for the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT)
sensor.

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
Two knock sensors are bolted into the cylinder block under the intake manifold 3.7L, 4.7L & 8.3L.
Two knock sensors are also used with the 5.7L. These are bolted into each side of the cylinder
block (outside) under the exhaust manifold.

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
Two knock sensors are used; 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 which constantly vibrates and sends an input
voltage (signal) to the PCM while the engine operates. As the 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
maximum authority that long term memory has over timing retard can be calibrated.
Short term memory is allowed to retard timing up to a preset amount under all operating conditions
(as long as rpm is above the minimum rpm) except at Wide Open Throttle (WOT). The PCM, using
short term memory, can respond quickly to retard timing when engine knock is detected. Short term
memory is lost any time the ignition key is turned off.
NOTE: Over or under tightening the sensor mounting bolts will affect knock sensor performance,
possibly causing improper spark control. Always use the specified torque when installing the knock
sensors.

Manifold Pressure/Vacuum Sensor: Description and Operation
OPERATION
The MAP sensor is used as an input to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). It contains a silicon
based sensing unit to provide data on the manifold vacuum that draws the air/fuel mixture into the
combustion chamber. The PCM requires this information to determine injector pulse width and
spark advance. When manifold absolute pressure (MAP) equals Barometric pressure, the pulse
width will be at maximum.
A 5 volt reference is supplied from the PCM and returns a voltage signal to the PCM that reflects
manifold pressure. The zero pressure reading is 0.5V and full scale is 4.5V. For a pressure swing
of 0-15 psi, the voltage changes 4.0V. To operate the sensor, it is supplied a regulated 4.8 to 5.1
volts. Ground is provided through the low-noise, sensor return circuit at the PCM.
The MAP sensor input is the number one contributor to fuel injector pulse width. The most
important function of the MAP sensor is to determine barometric pressure. The PCM needs to
know if the vehicle is at sea level or at a higher altitude, because the air density changes with
altitude. It will also help to correct for varying barometric pressure. Barometric pressure and altitude
have a direct inverse correlation; as altitude goes up, barometric goes down. At key-on, the PCM
powers up and looks at MAP voltage, and based upon the voltage it sees, it knows the current
barometric pressure (relative to altitude). Once the engine starts, the PCM looks at the voltage
again, continuously every 12 milliseconds, and compares the current voltage to what it was at
key-on. The difference between current voltage and what it was at key-on, is manifold vacuum.
During key-on (engine not running) the sensor reads (updates) barometric pressure. A normal
range can be obtained by monitoring a known good sensor.
As the altitude increases, the air becomes thinner (less oxygen). If a vehicle is started and driven to
a very different altitude than where it was at key-on, the barometric pressure needs to be updated.
Any time the PCM sees Wide Open Throttle (WOT), based upon Throttle Position Sensor (TPS)
angle and RPM, it will update barometric pressure in the MAP memory cell. With periodic updates,
the PCM can make its calculations more effectively.
The PCM uses the MAP sensor input to aid in calculating the following:
- Manifold pressure
- Barometric pressure
- Engine load
- Injector pulse-width
- Spark-advance programs
- Shift-point strategies (certain automatic transmissions only)
- Idle speed
- Decel fuel shutoff
The MAP sensor signal is provided from a single piezoresistive element located in the center of a
diaphragm. The element and diaphragm are both made of silicone. As manifold pressure changes,
the diaphragm moves causing the element to deflect, which stresses the silicone. When silicone is
exposed to stress, its resistance changes. As manifold vacuum increases, the MAP sensor input
voltage decreases proportionally. The sensor also contains electronics that condition the signal and
provide temperature compensation.
The PCM recognizes a decrease in manifold pressure by monitoring a decrease in voltage from the
reading stored in the barometric pressure memory cell. The MAP sensor is a linear sensor;
meaning as pressure changes, voltage changes proportionately. The range of voltage output from
the sensor is usually between 4.6 volts at sea level to as low as 0.3 volts at 26 in. of Hg. Barometric
pressure is the pressure exerted by the atmosphere upon an object. At sea level on a standard
day, no storm, barometric pressure is approximately 29.92 in Hg. For every 100 feet of altitude,
barometric pressure drops 0.10 in. Hg. If a storm goes through, it can change barometric pressure
from what should be present for that altitude. You should know what the average pressure and
corresponding barometric pressure is for your area.

Oxygen Sensor: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION
The Oxygen Sensors (O2S) are attached to, and protrude into the vehicle exhaust system.
Depending on the engine or emission package, the vehicle may use a total of either 2 or 4 sensors.
Federal Emission Packages : Two sensors are used: upstream (referred to as 1/1) and
downstream (referred to as 1/2). With this emission package, the upstream sensor (1/1) is located
just before the main catalytic convertor. The downstream sensor (1/2) is located just after the main
catalytic convertor.
California Emission Packages: On this emissions package, 4 sensors are used: 2 upstream
(referred to as 1/1 and 2/1) and 2 downstream (referred to as 1/2 and 2/2). With this emission
package, the right upstream sensor (2/1) is located in the right exhaust downpipe just before the
mini-catalytic convertor. The left upstream sensor (1/1) is located in the left exhaust downpipe just
before the mini-catalytic convertor. The right downstream sensor (2/2) is located in the right
exhaust downpipe just after the mini-catalytic convertor, and before the main catalytic convertor.
The left downstream sensor (1/2) is located in the left exhaust downpipe just after the mini-catalytic
convertor, and before the main catalytic convertor.

Description
DESCRIPTION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) (2) is mounted to the top of the valve body inside the
transmission and can only be serviced by removing the valve body assembly. The electrical
connector extends through the transmission case.
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) has four switch contacts that monitor shift lever position
and send the information to the PCM.
Operation
OPERATION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) communicates shift lever position (SLP) to the TCM as a
combination of open and closed switches. Each shift lever position has an assigned combination of
switch states (open/closed) that the TCM receives from four sense circuits. The TCM interprets this
information and determines the appropriate transmission gear position and shift schedule.
Since there are four switches, there are 16 possible combinations of open and closed switches
(codes). Seven of these codes are related to gear position and three are recognized as "between
gear" codes. This results in six codes which should never occur. These are called "invalid" codes.
An invalid code will result in a DTC, and the TCM will then determine the shift lever position based
on pressure switch data. This allows reasonably normal transmission operation with a TRS failure.

Transmission Position Switch/Sensor: Description and Operation 545RFE Automatic Transmission
Description
DESCRIPTION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) is part of the solenoid module, which is mounted to the top
of the valve body inside the transmission.
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) has five switch contact pins that:
- Determine shift lever position
- Supply ground to the Starter Relay in Park and Neutral only.
- Supply +12 V to the backup lamps in Reverse only.
The TRS also has an integrated temperature sensor (thermistor) that communicates transmission
temperature to the TCM and PCM.
Operation
OPERATION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) communicates shift lever position to the TCM as a
combination of open and closed switches. Each shift lever position has an assigned combination of
switch states (open/closed) that the TCM receives from four sense circuits. The TCM interprets this
information and determines the appropriate transmission gear position and shift schedule.
There are many possible combinations of open and closed switches (codes). Seven of these
possible codes are related to gear position and five are recognized as "between gear" codes. This
results in many codes which should never occur. These are called "invalid" codes. An invalid code
will result in a DTC, and the TCM will then determine the shift lever position based on pressure
switch data. This allows reasonably normal transmission operation with a TRS failure.

Transmission Position Switch/Sensor: Description and Operation 48RE Automatic Transmission
Description
DESCRIPTION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) has 3 primary functions:
- Provide a PARK/NEUTRAL start signal to the engine controller and the starter relay.
- Turn the Back-up lamps on when the transmission is in REVERSE and the engine (ignition) is on.
- Provide a transmission range signal to the instrument cluster.
The sensor is mounted in the transmission housing near the valve body, just above the pan rail. It's
in the same position as the Park/Neutral switch on other transmissions. The TRS contacts a
cammed surface on the manual valve lever. The cammed surface translates the rotational motion
of the manual lever into the linear motion of the sensor. The cammed surface on the manual lever
is comprised of two parts controlling the TRS signal: The insulator portion contacts the switch
poppet when the manual lever is not in PARK or NEUTRAL. The manual lever itself contacts the
poppet when the lever is in PARK or NEUTRAL; providing a ground for the signal from the starter
relay and the appropriate engine controller.

As the switch moves through its linear motion contacts slide across a circuit board which changes
the resistance between the range sensing pins of the switch. A power supply on the instrument
cluster provides a regulated voltage signal to the switch. The return signal is decoded by the
cluster, which then controls the PRNDL display to correspond with the correct transmission range.
A bus message of transmission range is also sent by the cluster. In REVERSE range a second
contact set closes the circuit providing power to the reverse lamps.

feed pins of the TRS. The resistance should be less than 5 ohms. If the resistance is greater than 5
ohms, replace the TRS.
7. With the manual lever in the PARK position (the PARK position is with the manual lever moved
to the full rearward position), measure the
resistance between the Transmission Range Sensor MUX and the Transmission Range Sensor 5V
Supply pins of the TRS. The resistance should be 522.2 ohms. If the resistance is not correct,
replace the TRS.
8. With the manual lever in the REVERSE position (the REVERSE position is with the manual lever
moved one detent forward of the full rearward
position), measure the resistance between the Transmission Range Sensor MUX and the
Transmission Range Sensor 5V Supply pins of the TRS. The resistance should be 206.2 ohms. If
the resistance is not correct, replace the TRS.
9. With the manual lever in the NEUTRAL position (the NEUTRAL position is with the manual lever
moved two detents forward of the full
rearward position), measure the resistance between the Transmission Range Sensor MUX and the
Transmission Range Sensor 5V Supply pins of the TRS. The resistance should be 108.6 ohms. If
the resistance is not correct, replace the TRS.
10. With the manual lever in the DRIVE position (the DRIVE position is with the manual lever
moved three detents forward of the full rearward
position), measure the resistance between the Transmission Range Sensor MUX and the
Transmission Range Sensor 5V Supply pins of the TRS. The resistance should be 59.9 ohms. If
the resistance is not correct, replace the TRS.
11. With the manual lever in the SECOND position (the SECOND position is with the manual lever
moved one detent rearward of the full forward
position), measure the resistance between the Transmission Range Sensor MUX and the Back-up
Lamp feed pins of the TRS. The resistance should be 31.9 ohms. If the resistance is not correct,
replace the TRS.
12. With the manual lever in the LOW position (the LOW position is with the manual lever moved to
the full forward position), measure the resistance
between the Transmission Range Sensor MUX and the Back-up Lamp feed pins of the TRS. The
resistance should be 13.7 ohms. If the resistance is not correct, replace the TRS.

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
All switches, components, and modules are shown in the at rest position with the doors closed and
the key removed from the ignition.
Components are shown two ways. A solid line around a component indicates that the component is
complete. A dashed line around the component indicates that the component is being shown is not
complete. Incomplete components have a reference number to indicate the page where the
component is shown complete.
It is important to realize that no attempt is made on the diagrams to represent components and
wiring as they appear on the vehicle. For example, a short piece of wire is treated the same as a
long one. In addition, switches and other components are shown as simply as possible, with regard
to function only.

Connector, Ground and Splice Information
DESCRIPTION - CONNECTOR, GROUND AND SPLICE INFORMATION
CAUTION: Not all connectors are serviced. Some connectors are serviced only with a harness. A
typical example might be the Supplemental Restraint System connectors. Always check parts
availability before attempting a repair.
IDENTIFICATION
In-line connectors are identified by a number, as follows:
- In-line connectors located in the engine compartment are C100 series numbers.
- In-line connectors located in the instrument panel area are C200 series numbers.
- In-line connectors located in the body are C300 series numbers.
- Jumper harness connectors are C400 series numbers.
- Grounds and ground connectors are identified with a "G" and follow the same series numbering
as the in-line connectors.
- Splices are identified with an "S" and follow the same series numbering as the in-line connectors.
In addition, S001-S099 numbers are located in the engine compartment.
- Component connectors are identified by the component name instead of a number. Multiple
connectors on a component use a C1, C2, etc. identifier.
LOCATIONS
Vehicle/Locations contains the master connector/ground/splice location index charts with
hyperlinks to the applicable location illustrations. The illustrations contain the connector name (or
number)/ground number/splice number and component identification.
The abbreviation T/O is used in the component location section to indicate a point in which the
wiring harness branches out to a component. The abbreviation N/S means Not Shown in the
illustrations

STANDARD PROCEDURE - ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) SENSITIVE DEVICES
All ESD sensitive components are solid state and a symbol is used to indicate this. When handling
any component with this symbol, comply with the following procedures to reduce the possibility of
electrostatic charge build up on the body and inadvertent discharge into the component. If it is not
known whether the part is ESD sensitive, assume that it is.
1. Always touch a known good ground before handling the part. This should be repeated while
handling the part and more frequently after sliding
across a seat, sitting down from a standing position, or walking a distance.
2. Avoid touching electrical terminals of the part, unless instructed to do so by a written procedure.
3. When using a voltmeter, be sure to connect the ground lead first. 4. Do not remove the part from
it's protective packing until it is time to install the part. 5. Before removing the part from it's
package, ground the package to a known good ground on the vehicle.

1. Remove the fuse and disconnect all items involved with the fuse. 2. Connect a test light or a
voltmeter across the terminals of the fuse. 3. Starting at the fuse block, wiggle the wiring harness
about six to eight inches apart and watch the voltmeter/test lamp. 4. If the voltmeter registers
voltage or the test lamp glows, there is a short to ground in that general area of the wiring harness.

Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- Ohmmeter - Used to check the resistance between two points of a circuit. Low or no resistance in
a circuit means good continuity.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking resistance in these circuits use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
In addition, make sure the power is disconnected from the circuit. Circuits that are powered up by
the vehicle's electrical system can cause damage to the equipment and provide false readings.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches - Computers and Control Systems > Vehicle Speed Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 1412
- Probing Tools - These tools are used for probing terminals in connectors. Select the proper size
tool from Special Tool Package 6807, and insert the probing end (2) into the terminal being tested.
Use the other end of the tool (1) to insert the meter probe.
INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent electrical problems are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. It is also
possible for a sticking component or relay to cause a problem. Before condemning a component or
wiring assembly, check the following items.
- Connectors are fully seated
- Spread terminals, or terminal push out
- Terminals in the wiring assembly are fully seated into the connector/component and locked into
position
- Dirt or corrosion on the terminals. Any amount of corrosion or dirt could cause an intermittent
problem
- Damaged connector/component casing exposing the item to dirt or moisture
- Wire insulation that has rubbed through causing a short to ground
- Some or all of the wiring strands broken inside of the insulation
- Wiring broken inside of the insulation
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are six steps which can aid in the procedure. The
steps are listed and explained below. Always check for non-factory items added to the vehicle
before doing any diagnosis. If the vehicle is equipped with these items, disconnect them to verify
these add-on items are not the cause of the problem.
1. Verify the problem. 2. Verify any related symptoms. Do this by performing operational checks on
components that are in the same circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams. 3. Analyze the symptoms.
Use the wiring diagrams to determine what the circuit is doing, where the problem most likely is
occurring and where the
diagnosis will continue.
4. Isolate the problem area. 5. Repair the problem area. 6. Verify the proper operation. For this
step, check for proper operation of all items on the repaired circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams.

EGR Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation Operation-Cab/Chassis Models
OPERATION-CAB/CHASSIS MODELS
The EGR Temperature Sensor (1) is located on the EGR crossover tube (6) near the EGR valve.
The EGR temperature sensor is a negative temperature coefficient thermistor used to measure the
temperature of the EGR gas flow after it exits the EGR cooler.
The ECM (Engine Control Module) supplies 5-volts to the EGR temperature signal circuit. To
determine the temperature of the EGR gas flow, the ECM monitors the change in voltage caused
by changes in the resistance of the sensor. The ECM uses the exhaust gas recirculation
temperature value for the engine protection system, and also for engine emissions control.

The CMP sensor engine contains a hall effect device called a sync signal generator to generate a
fuel sync signal. This sync signal generator detects notches located on a tonewheel. The
tonewheel (4) is located at the front of the camshaft for the right cylinder head (2). As the
tonewheel rotates, the notches (1) pass through the sync signal generator. The pattern of the
notches (viewed counter-clockwise from front of engine) is: 1 notch, 2 notches, 3 notches, 3
notches, 2 notches, 1 notch, 3 notches and 1 notch. The signal from the CMP sensor is used in
conjunction with the crankshaft position sensor to differentiate between fuel injection and spark
events. It is also used to synchronize the fuel injectors with their respective cylinders.

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
4.7L V-8
Engine speed and crankshaft position are provided through the CKP (Crankshaft Position) sensor.
The sensor generates pulses that are the input sent to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The
PCM interprets the sensor input to determine the crankshaft position. The PCM then uses this
position, along with other inputs, to determine injector sequence and ignition timing.
The sensor is a hall effect device combined with an internal magnet. It is also sensitive to steel
within a certain distance from it.
A tonewheel (1) is bolted to the engine crankshaft. This tonewheel has sets of notches (2) at its
outer edge.
The notches cause a pulse to be generated when they pass under the sensor. The pulses are the
input to the PCM.

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
Two knock sensors are bolted into the cylinder block under the intake manifold 3.7L, 4.7L & 8.3L.
Two knock sensors are also used with the 5.7L. These are bolted into each side of the cylinder
block (outside) under the exhaust manifold.

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
Two knock sensors are used; 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 which constantly vibrates and sends an input
voltage (signal) to the PCM while the engine operates. As the 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
maximum authority that long term memory has over timing retard can be calibrated.
Short term memory is allowed to retard timing up to a preset amount under all operating conditions
(as long as rpm is above the minimum rpm) except at Wide Open Throttle (WOT). The PCM, using
short term memory, can respond quickly to retard timing when engine knock is detected. Short term
memory is lost any time the ignition key is turned off.
NOTE: Over or under tightening the sensor mounting bolts will affect knock sensor performance,
possibly causing improper spark control. Always use the specified torque when installing the knock
sensors.

Air Bag Deactivation Switch: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The passenger airbag on/off switch (1) is standard equipment on all standard cab versions of this
vehicle (except light-duty DR 1500) equipped with the dual front airbag system. This switch is a
two-position, resistor multiplexed switch with a single integral amber Light-Emitting Diode (LED),
and a non-coded key cylinder-type actuator. The switch is located in the lower right corner of the
instrument panel center bezel, near the center of the instrument panel.
When the switch is in its installed position, the only components visible through the dedicated
opening of the center bezel are the switch bezel (2) and lens, the nomenclature imprinted on the
lens, and the key cylinder actuator (3). The OFF position nomenclature of the switch is illuminated
and visible only when that switch position is selected. The ON position of the switch is neither
visible or illuminated but can be determined by the orientation of the slot of the key cylinder
actuator. The remainder of the switch is concealed behind the switch bezel and the instrument
panel center bezel.
The passenger airbag on/off switch housing is constructed of molded plastic and has three integral
mounting tabs. These mounting tabs are used to secure the switch to the back of the molded
plastic switch bezel with three small screws. The molded plastic switch bezel also has three
integral mounting tabs that are used to secure the switch and bezel unit to the instrument panel
center bezel with three additional screws.
A molded plastic connector receptacle on the back of the switch housing connects the switch to the
vehicle electrical system through a dedicated take out and connector of the instrument panel wire
harness. The molded plastic harness connector insulator is keyed and latched to ensure proper
and secure switch electrical connections.
The passenger airbag on/off switch cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged,
the switch must be replaced.

Air Bag Deactivation Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The passenger airbag on/off switch allows the customer to turn the passenger airbag function ON
or OFF to accommodate certain uses of the right front seating position where airbag protection may
not be desired.
The OFF indicator of the switch will be illuminated whenever the switch is turned to the OFF
position and the ignition switch is in the ON position.
The ignition key is the only key or object that should ever be inserted into the key cylinder actuator
of the switch. The on/off switch requires only a partial key insertion to fully depress a spring-loaded
locking plunger. The spring-loaded locking plunger prevents the user from leaving the key in the
switch. The key will be automatically ejected when force is not applied. To actuate the passenger
airbag on/off switch, insert the ignition key into the switch key actuator far enough to fully depress
the plunger, then rotate the actuator to the desired switch position.
When the switch key actuator is rotated to its clockwise stop (the key actuator slot will be aligned
with the OFF nomenclature), the OFF indicator is illuminated and the passenger airbag is disabled.
When the switch is rotated to its counterclockwise stop (the key actuator slot will be in a vertical
position) the OFF indicator will be extinguished and the passenger airbag is enabled. The OFF
indicator and the enabling or disabling of the passenger airbag is controlled electronically by the
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) based upon inputs it receives from the on/off switch.
The passenger airbag on/off switch connects one of two internal resistors in series between the
passenger airbag mux switch sense and passenger airbag mux switch return circuits of the ORC.
The ORC continually monitors the resistance in these circuits to determine the switch position that
has been selected. When the switch is in the OFF position, the ORC provides a ground input to the
OFF indicator through the passenger airbag indicator driver circuit, which energizes the
Light-Emitting Diode (LED) that illuminates the indicator. The ORC will store a Diagnostic Trouble
Code (DTC) for any fault it detects in the passenger airbag on/off switch or OFF indicator circuits,
and will illuminate the airbag indicator in the instrument cluster if a fault is detected.
The hard wired circuits between the passenger airbag on/off switch and the ORC may be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. However, conventional diagnostic
methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the passenger airbag on/off switch or the
electronic controls and communication between other modules and devices that provide some
features of the supplemental restraint system. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to
diagnose the passenger airbag on/off switch or the electronic controls and communication related
to passenger airbag on/off switch operation requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.

Impact Sensor: Description and Operation Description
Front
FRONT
Two front impact sensors (1) are used on this vehicle, one each for the left and right sides of the
vehicle. These sensors are mounted remotely from the impact sensor that is internal to the
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC). Each front impact sensor is secured with a screw to the back
of the right or left end of the lower radiator crossmember within the engine compartment. The
sensor housing has an integral connector receptacle (4), an integral anti-rotation pin (3), and an
integral mounting hole (2) with a metal sleeve to provide crush protection.
The right and left front impact sensors are identical in construction and calibration. A cavity in the
center of the molded black plastic impact sensor housing contains the electronic circuitry of the
sensor which includes an electronic communication 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 vehicle electrical system through a dedicated take
out and connector of the headlamp and dash wire harness.
The front impact sensors cannot be repaired or adjusted and, if damaged or ineffective, they must
be replaced.
Side
SIDE
Two side impact sensors (1) are used on this vehicle when it is equipped with the optional side
curtain airbags, one each for the left and right sides of the vehicle. These sensors are mounted
remotely from the impact sensor that is internal to the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC). Each
side sensor is secured with a nut within the right or left B-pillar just above the front seat belt
retractors and behind the lower B-pillar trim within the passenger compartment. The sensor
housing has an integral connector receptacle (2), an integral mounting stud (3), and an integral
anti-rotation pin.
The right and left side impact sensors are identical in construction and calibration. A cavity in the
center of the molded plastic impact sensor housing contains the electronic circuitry of the sensor
which includes an electronic communication chip and an electronic impact sensor. Potting material

Impact Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
Front
FRONT
The front impact sensors are electronic accelerometers that sense the rate of vehicle deceleration,
which provides verification of the direction and severity of an impact. Each sensor also contains an
electronic communication chip that allows the unit to communicate the sensor status as well as
sensor fault information to the microprocessor in the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC).
The ORC microprocessor continuously monitors all of the passive restraint system electrical
circuits to determine the system readiness. If the ORC detects a monitored system fault, it sets a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) and controls the airbag indicator operation accordingly. The impact
sensors each receive battery current and ground through dedicated left and right sensor plus and
minus circuits from the ORC. The impact sensors and the ORC communicate by modulating the
voltage in the sensor plus circuit.
The hard wired circuits between the front impact sensors and the ORC may be diagnosed using
conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the impact
sensors or the electronic controls or communication between other modules and devices that
provide features of the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS). The most reliable, efficient, and
accurate means to diagnose the impact sensors or the electronic controls and communication
related to front impact sensor operation requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the

Seat Belt Buckle Switch: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
All vehicles are equipped with a driver side seat belt switch that is a small, normally open, single
pole, single throw, leaf contact, momentary switch. The driver side seat belt switch is integral to the
buckle (1) of the driver side front seat belt buckle, which is located on a stamped steel stanchion
secured by a screw (3) to the inboard side of the driver side front seat cushion frame.
The seat belt switch is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a two-lead pigtail wire
and connector (4) on the seat belt buckle-half, which is connected to a wire harness connector and
take out of the seat wire harness routed beneath the driver side front seat cushion in the passenger
compartment.
The seat belt switch cannot be adjusted or repaired. If ineffective or damaged, the entire driver side
front seat belt buckle-half unit must be replaced.

Seat Belt Buckle Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The driver side seat belt switch is designed to control a path to ground for the seat belt switch
sense input of the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab
Compartment Node/CCN). When the driver side front seat belt tip-half is inserted into the seat belt
buckle, the switch closes the path to ground; and, when the driver side front seat belt tip-half is
removed from the seat belt buckle, the switch opens the ground path. The switch is actuated by the
latch mechanism within the seat belt buckle.
The seat belt switch is connected in series between ground and the seat belt switch sense input of
the instrument cluster. The seat belt switch receives ground at all times through its pigtail wire
connection to the seat wire harness from a take out of the body wire harness. An eyelet terminal
connector on the body wire harness ground take out is secured beneath a ground screw on the left
cowl side inner panel, beneath the instrument panel.
The seat belt switch as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the switch may be diagnosed
using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.

DESCRIPTION
The Battery Temperature Sensor (BTS) is used only on the diesel engine. It is attached to the
battery tray located under the battery.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - Starting and Charging > Battery Temperature
Sensor > Component Information > Description and Operation > Battery Temperature Sensor - Description > Page 1616
Battery Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation Battery Temperature Sensor - Operation
OPERATION
The BTS is used to determine the battery temperature and control battery charging rate. This
temperature data, along with data from monitored line voltage, is used by the PCM (ECM Diesel) to
vary the battery charging rate. System voltage will be higher at colder temperatures and is
gradually reduced at warmer temperatures.
The PCM sends 5 volts to the sensor and is grounded through the sensor return line. As
temperature increases, resistance in the sensor decreases and the detection voltage at the PCM
increases.
The BTS is also used for OBD II diagnostics. Certain faults and OBD II monitors are either enabled
or disabled, depending upon BTS input (for example, disable purge and enable Leak Detection
Pump (LDP) and O2 sensor heater tests). Most OBD II monitors are disabled below 20°F.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Service Precautions
CAUTION
CAUTION: The use of tire sealants is not recommended for vehicles equipped with the Tire
Pressure Monitoring system. Tire sealants may clog tire pressure sensors.
CAUTION: Tire pressure sensor valve stem caps and cores are specially designed for the sensors.
Due to risk of corrosion, do not use a standard valve stem cap or core in a tire pressure sensor in
place of the original equipment style sensor cap and core.
CAUTION: It is not recommended to install a tire pressure sensor in an aftermarket wheel. Use tire
pressure sensors in original style factory wheels only.
CAUTION: Any time a sensor is to be reinstalled in a wheel, a new seal, cap and valve core must
be installed on the stem to ensure air tight sealing.
NOTE: TPM thresholds have been established for the original tire size equipped on the vehicle.
Use original size tires only to maintain system accuracy.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
On vehicles equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring System, one tire pressure sensor (6) is
mounted to each wheel in place of the traditional tire valve stem. Each sensor has an internal
battery that lasts up to 10 years. The battery is not serviceable. At the time of battery failure, the
sensor (6) must be replaced. The TPM system operates on a 315 MHz radio frequency. The 315
MHz sensors can be easily identified by a GREEN sensor body, with (an triangle insignia) (1). The
433 MHz sensors can be identified by a grey sensor body with an oval insignia. For car
applications, there is a 315 MHz TPM sensor with a Black sensor body with an oval insignia.
NOTE: This vehicle uses the 315 MHz TPM sensor with the GREEN sensor body. Although 315
MHz and 433 MHz sensors are identical in size and shape, they are not interchangeable. Always
make sure the correct color sensor is being used. A RKE-TPM Analyzer can be used to determine
the sensor's frequency without having to dismount the tire.
The TPM sensors are designed for original style factory wheels. It is not recommended to install a
tire pressure sensor in an aftermarket wheel. (This could cause sealing and system performance
issues.)
The serviceable components of the tire pressure sensor are:
- Sensor-To-Wheel Seal (4)
- Valve Stem Cap (2)
- Valve Stem Core
- Valve Stem Nut (3)
The valve stem caps and cores used are specifically designed for the tire pressure monitoring
sensors. Although similar to standard valve stem caps and cores, they are different. The valve
stem cap has a special seal inside to keep moisture and corrosion out. The valve stem core has a
special nickel coating to protect from corrosion.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
CAUTION: The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS
pressures have been established for the tire size equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable system
operation or sensor damage may result when using replacement equipment that is not of the same
size, type, and/or style. After-market wheels can cause sensor damage. Do not use aftermarket tire
sealants or balance beads if your vehicle is equipped with a TPMS, as damage to the sensors may
result.
CAUTION: After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure always reinstall the valve stem cap. This
will prevent moisture and dirt from entering the valve stem, which could damage the Tire Pressure
Monitoring Sensor.
CAUTION: Tire pressure sensor valve stem caps and cores are specially designed for the sensors.
Due to risk of corrosion, do not use a standard valve stem cap or core in a tire pressure sensor in
place of the original equipment style sensor cap and core.
CAUTION: Any time a sensor is to be reinstalled in a wheel, a new seal, nut, cap and valve core
must be installed on the stem to ensure air tight sealing.
NOTE: TPM thresholds have been established for the original tire size equipped on the vehicle.
Use original size tires only to maintain system accuracy.
The battery operated tire pressure sensor is both a transmitter and a receiver. The TPM sensor can
be forced to transmit if using a special tool such as a TPM-RKE Analyzer, or from a transponder.
The TPM-RKE Analyzer has the ability to change the sensor mode and to diagnose a faulty TPM
sensor. Using a TPM-RKE Analyzer can take up to a minute to force a transmission from a sensor.
The High Pressure TPM sensor can be in one of the following modes:
Sleep Mode - A new TPM sensor will be in this mode. If placed on the vehicle as a road tire, the
TPM sensor will transmit once every 20 seconds when the vehicle is driven at speeds over 15 mph
(24 km/h). If the vehicle is not moving, the sensor will only transmit on a pressure change greater
then 2 psi (13.8 kPA). Driving the vehicle continuously at speeds over 15 mph (24 km/h) for more
then 4 minutes will change the sensor state into 30 BLOCK MODE. The TPM sensor will not return
to SLEEP MODE. Now, if the vehicle has been stopped for 20 minutes, the TPM sensor state will
change to PARK MODE.
- Park Mode - This is the correct mode when the vehicle is not moving. The sensor will transmit
once every 13 hours to update the WCM, or will transmit on a 2 psi (13.8 kPA) delta change. The
sensors will internally take a measurement of the tire pressure every minute to determine a change
in tire pressure.
- 30 Block Mode - If the vehicle has not been moving for more then 20 minutes, or if the sensor's
mode was forced to Park Mode using a TPM-RKE Analyzer, the sensor's operating mode will
transition from PARK MODE to 30 BLOCK MODE once the vehicle is driven over 15 mph. In this
mode, the sensor will transmit once every 15 seconds when the vehicle is driven at speeds over 15
mph (24 km/h) for the first 30 transmissions. After 8 minutes of continuous driving above 15 mph
(24 km/h), the TPM sensor will change to DRIVE MODE.
Drive Mode - In this mode, the sensor will transmit once every minute when the vehicle is driven at
speeds over 15 mph (24 km/h). At any time that the vehicle speed drops below 15mph, the sensor
will not transmit. The sensor mode will still be in drive mode when the sensor reaches speeds over
15 mph (24 km/h). If the vehicle has been stationary for more then 20 minutes, the TPM sensor will
change to PARK MODE.
Each sensor's (transmitter) broadcast is uniquely coded so that the wireless control module (WCM)
can monitor the state of each of the sensors on the four rotating road wheels. The WCM can
automatically learn and store the sensor's ID while driving "within 10 minutes continuously above
15 m.p.h. (24 Km/h)" after a sensor has been replaced. The vehicle must be stationary for more
then 20 minutes in order to initiate the learning sequence.
The sensor IDs can also be programmed using the TPM-RKE Analyzer Tool. Scan each TPM
sensor at each road wheel, and store each Sensor ID in the correct location. (LEFT FRONT, LEFT
REAR, RIGHT FRONT, and RIGHT REAR) Connect the TPM-RKE Analyzer Tool to the Scan Tool.
Then follow the programming steps outlined in the diagnostic Scan Tool for "Program Tire Pressure
Sensor ID w/ TPM Tool" under "MISC" for the "WCM/WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE".

Tire Pressure Sensor: Testing and Inspection
TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR
NOTE: Tire pressure may increase from 2 to 6 psi (14 to 41 kPa) during normal driving conditions.
Do NOT reduce this normal pressure build up.
NOTE: Tire pressure will vary with temperature by about 1 psi (6.9 kPa) for every 12 F (6.5 C). This
means that when the outside temperature decreases, the tire pressure will also decrease. Tire
pressure should always be set based on cold inflation tire pressure.
When diagnosing a tire pressure issue, always check air pressure in the tires first with a known
accurate air gauge. Adjust air pressure as necessary to that listed on the Tire Inflation Pressure
Label (Placard) provided with the vehicle (usually applied to the driver's side B-pillar). After
adjusting air pressure in a tire on the vehicle, allow approximately two minutes for the message or
indicator lamp to go out.
Check the tire pressure indicator lamp in the instrument cluster. If the lamp is illuminating
continuously, inspect all the tires for leaks. A water "dunk tank" or other water test may be used to
check for leaks around the sensor as long as any water at the valve core is removed once the
procedure is completed. The water can be easily expelled from the core area by pushing in on the
core for several seconds, allowing escaping air to drive out any moisture. Reinflate the tire as
necessary. Always make sure the original valve stem cap is securely installed to keep moisture out
of the sensor. If the gauge-read pressure in the tires does not indicate a tire pressure issue, refer to
the appropriate diagnostic information.
If the indicator lamp is flashing on/off for 75 seconds and then remains on solid, a system fault was
detected. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

NOTE: Before reinstalling an existing tire pressure sensor (6), replace valve cap (2), nut (3), valve
core and sensor seal (4) to ensure proper sealing.
NOTE: The notch/flat should be lined up together and facing towards the wheel during installation.
1. Wipe area clean around sensor/valve stem mounting hole in wheel. Make sure surface of wheel
is not damaged.
2. Insert sensor (1) through wheel (2) as shown keeping pressure against rear of metal valve stem
(See Arrow). Potted side of sensor is to be
positioned toward wheel. Damage to the sensor may occur if the sensor is installed incorrectly.
NOTE: A flat on the seal seat is used to key the seat to the sensor housing. The notch/flat should
be lined up together and facing towards the wheel during installation.
3. Install sensor nut (3) and hand tighten.
NOTE: Before tightening sensor nut, push downward on sensor housing (2) in an attempt to make
it flush with interior contour of wheel (1).
4. While holding sensor in position, tighten sensor nut to 6 Nm (53 in. lbs.).
CAUTION: Over-tightening the sensor to as much as 10 Nm (88 in. lbs.) may result in sensor
separation from the valve stem. Under this condition, the sensor may still function, however, the
condition should be corrected immediately.
5. Mount tire on wheel following tire changer manufacturer's instructions, paying special attention to
the following to avoid damaging tire pressure
sensor: a.

Rotating Wheel Tire Changers- Once the wheel is mounted to the changer, position the sensor
valve stem (2) approximately 180° from the head of the changer (located at 1) in a clockwise
direction before rotating the wheel (also in a clockwise direction) to mount the tire. Use this
procedure on both the upper and lower tire beads.
b.
Rotating Tool Tire Changers - Position the wheel on the changer so that the sensor valve stem (1)
is located approximately 180° clockwise from the installation end of the mounting/dismounting tool
(2) once the tool is mounted for tire installation. Make sure the sensor is clear of the lower bead
breaker area (3) to avoid damaging the sensor when the breaker rises. Rotate the tool (2) in a
counterclockwise direction to mount the tire. Use this procedure on both the upper and lower tire
beads.
6. Adjust air pressure to that listed on Tire Inflation Pressure Label (Placard) provided with vehicle
(usually applied to driver's side B-pillar). Make
sure original style valve stem cap is securely installed to keep moisture out of sensor.
7. Install tire and wheel assembly on vehicle. See: Maintenance/Wheels and Tires/Service and
Repair/Removal and Replacement 8. Lower vehicle. 9. If the vehicle has been stationary for more
then 20 minutes, drive the vehicle for a minimum of 10 minutes while maintaining a continuous
speed
above 15 mph (24 km/h). During this time, the system will learn the new sensor ID. A new sensor
ID can also be programmed directly into the WCM by using a RKE-TPM Analyzer in conjunction
with a Scan Tool. Once the new sensor ID has been programmed, the RKE-TPM Analyzer can be
used to update the TPMS by activating the sensor.
NOTE: If a sensor cannot be trained, refer to appropriate diagnostic information.

Description
DESCRIPTION
The line pressure sensor (2) is mounted on the top of the valve body, next to the pressure control
solenoid (1).
The TCM utilizes a closed-loop system to control transmission line pressure. The system contains
a variable force style solenoid, the Pressure Control Solenoid. The solenoid is duty cycle controlled
by the TCM to vent the unnecessary line pressure supplied by the oil pump back to the sump. The
system also contains a variable pressure style sensor, the Line Pressure Sensor, which is a direct
input to the TCM. The line pressure solenoid monitors the transmission line pressure and
completes the feedback loop to the TCM. The TCM uses this information to adjust its control of the
pressure control solenoid to achieve the desired line pressure.
Operation
OPERATION
The TCM calculates the desired line pressure based upon inputs from the transmission and engine.
The TCM calculates the torque input to the transmission and uses that information as the primary
input to the calculation. The line pressure is set to a predetermined value during shifts and when
the transmission is in the PARK and NEUTRAL positions. This is done to ensure consistent shift
quality. During all other operation, the actual line pressure is compared to the desired line pressure
and adjustments are made to the pressure control solenoid duty cycle.

Overdrive Switch: Testing and Inspection
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - OVERDRIVE ELECTRICAL CONTROLS
The tow/haul overdrive off switch, valve body solenoid, case connectors and related wiring can all
be tested with a 12 volt test lamp or a volt/ohmmeter. Check continuity of each component when
diagnosis indicates this is necessary.
Switch and solenoid continuity should be checked whenever the transmission fails to shift into
fourth gear range.

Shift Solenoid Position Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The transmission solenoid/TRS assembly is internal to the transmission and mounted on the valve
body assembly. The assembly consists of six solenoids that control hydraulic pressure to the six
friction elements (transmission clutches), and the torque converter clutch. The pressure control
solenoid is located on the side of the solenoid/TRS assembly. The solenoid/TRS assembly also
contains the Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) and five pressure switches that feed information to
the TCM.

Shift Solenoid Position Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
SOLENOIDS
Solenoids are used to control the L/R, 2C, 4C, OD, and UD friction elements. The reverse clutch is
controlled by line pressure and the position of the manual valve in the valve body. All the solenoids
are contained within the Solenoid and Pressure Switch Assembly. The solenoid and pressure
switch assembly contains one additional solenoid, Multi-Select (MS), which serves primarily to
provide 2nd and 3rd gear limp-in operation.
The solenoids receive electrical power from the Transmission Control Relay through a single wire.
The TCM energizes or operates the solenoids individually by grounding the return wire of the
solenoid as necessary. When a solenoid is energized, the solenoid valve shifts, and a fluid
passage is opened or closed (vented or applied), depending on its default operating state. The
result is an apply or release of a frictional element.
The MS and UD solenoids are normally applied to allow transmission limp-in in the event of an
electrical failure.
The continuity of the solenoids and circuits are periodically tested. Each solenoid is turned on or off
depending on its current state. An inductive spike should be detected by the TCM during this test. If
no spike is detected, the circuit is tested again to verify the failure. In addition to the periodic
testing, the solenoid circuits are tested if a speed ratio or pressure switch error occurs.
PRESSURE SWITCHES
The TCM relies on five pressure switches to monitor fluid pressure in the L/R, 2C, 4C, UD, and OD
hydraulic circuits. The primary purpose of these switches is to help the TCM detect when clutch
circuit hydraulic failures occur. The switches close at 23 psi and open at 11 psi, and simply indicate
whether or not pressure exists. The switches are continuously monitored by the TCM for the
correct states (open or closed) in each gear as shown in the following charts and 545RFE
PRESSURE SWITCH STATES:
A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set if the TCM senses any switch open or closed at the
wrong time in a given gear.

DESCRIPTION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) (2) is mounted to the top of the valve body inside the
transmission and can only be serviced by removing the valve body assembly. The electrical
connector extends through the transmission case.
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) has four switch contacts that monitor shift lever position
and send the information to the PCM.
Operation
OPERATION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) communicates shift lever position (SLP) to the TCM as a
combination of open and closed switches. Each shift lever position has an assigned combination of
switch states (open/closed) that the TCM receives from four sense circuits. The TCM interprets this
information and determines the appropriate transmission gear position and shift schedule.
Since there are four switches, there are 16 possible combinations of open and closed switches
(codes). Seven of these codes are related to gear position and three are recognized as "between
gear" codes. This results in six codes which should never occur. These are called "invalid" codes.
An invalid code will result in a DTC, and the TCM will then determine the shift lever position based
on pressure switch data. This allows reasonably normal transmission operation with a TRS failure.

Description
DESCRIPTION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) is part of the solenoid module, which is mounted to the top
of the valve body inside the transmission.
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) has five switch contact pins that:
- Determine shift lever position
- Supply ground to the Starter Relay in Park and Neutral only.
- Supply +12 V to the backup lamps in Reverse only.
The TRS also has an integrated temperature sensor (thermistor) that communicates transmission
temperature to the TCM and PCM.

recognized as "between gear" codes. This results in many codes which should never occur. These
are called "invalid" codes. An invalid code will result in a DTC, and the TCM will then determine the

Transmission Position Switch/Sensor: Description and Operation 48RE Automatic Transmission
Description
DESCRIPTION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) has 3 primary functions:
- Provide a PARK/NEUTRAL start signal to the engine controller and the starter relay.
- Turn the Back-up lamps on when the transmission is in REVERSE and the engine (ignition) is on.
- Provide a transmission range signal to the instrument cluster.
The sensor is mounted in the transmission housing near the valve body, just above the pan rail. It's
in the same position as the Park/Neutral switch on other transmissions. The TRS contacts a
cammed surface on the manual valve lever. The cammed surface translates the rotational motion
of the manual lever into the linear motion of the sensor. The cammed surface on the manual lever
is comprised of two parts controlling the TRS signal: The insulator portion contacts the switch
poppet when the manual lever is not in PARK or NEUTRAL. The manual lever itself contacts the
poppet when the lever is in PARK or NEUTRAL; providing a ground for the signal from the starter
relay and the appropriate engine controller.

As the switch moves through its linear motion contacts slide across a circuit board which changes
the resistance between the range sensing pins of the switch. A power supply on the instrument
cluster provides a regulated voltage signal to the switch. The return signal is decoded by the
cluster, which then controls the PRNDL display to correspond with the correct transmission range.
A bus message of transmission range is also sent by the cluster. In REVERSE range a second
contact set closes the circuit providing power to the reverse lamps.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR (TRS)
NOTE: For all circuit identification in the following steps, Refer to the appropriate Wiring
Information.
1. Raise vehicle on suitable hoist. 2. Disconnect the vehicle's shift cable from the manual lever. 3.
With the manual lever in the PARK position (the PARK position is with the manual lever moved to
the full rearward position), measure the
resistance between the Park/Neutral Position Sense pin of the TRS and the transmission case. The
resistance should be less than 5 ohms.
4. With the manual lever in the NEUTRAL position (the NEUTRAL position is with the manual lever
moved two detents forward of the full
rearward position), measure the resistance between the Park/Neutral Position Sense pin of the
TRS and the transmission case. The resistance should be less than 5 ohms.
5. If the resistance is greater than 5 ohms in either of the previous steps, check for a dirty contact
between the tip of the TRS rod and the valve body
manual lever. If the contact is OK, replace the TRS.
6. With the manual lever in the REVERSE position (the REVERSE position is with the manual lever
moved one detent forward of the full rearward
position), measure the resistance between the Fused Ignition Switch Output and the Back-up Lamp
feed pins of the TRS. The resistance should be less than 5 ohms. If the resistance is greater than 5
ohms, replace the TRS.
7. With the manual lever in the PARK position (the PARK position is with the manual lever moved
to the full rearward position), measure the
resistance between the Transmission Range Sensor MUX and the Transmission Range Sensor 5V
Supply pins of the TRS. The resistance should be 522.2 ohms. If the resistance is not correct,
replace the TRS.
8. With the manual lever in the REVERSE position (the REVERSE position is with the manual lever
moved one detent forward of the full rearward
position), measure the resistance between the Transmission Range Sensor MUX and the
Transmission Range Sensor 5V Supply pins of the TRS. The resistance should be 206.2 ohms. If
the resistance is not correct, replace the TRS.
9. With the manual lever in the NEUTRAL position (the NEUTRAL position is with the manual lever
moved two detents forward of the full
rearward position), measure the resistance between the Transmission Range Sensor MUX and the
Transmission Range Sensor 5V Supply pins of the TRS. The resistance should be 108.6 ohms. If
the resistance is not correct, replace the TRS.
10. With the manual lever in the DRIVE position (the DRIVE position is with the manual lever
moved three detents forward of the full rearward
position), measure the resistance between the Transmission Range Sensor MUX and the
Transmission Range Sensor 5V Supply pins of the TRS. The resistance should be 59.9 ohms. If
the resistance is not correct, replace the TRS.
11. With the manual lever in the SECOND position (the SECOND position is with the manual lever
moved one detent rearward of the full forward
position), measure the resistance between the Transmission Range Sensor MUX and the Back-up
Lamp feed pins of the TRS. The resistance should be 31.9 ohms. If the resistance is not correct,
replace the TRS.
12. With the manual lever in the LOW position (the LOW position is with the manual lever moved to
the full forward position), measure the resistance
between the Transmission Range Sensor MUX and the Back-up Lamp feed pins of the TRS. The
resistance should be 13.7 ohms. If the resistance is not correct, replace the TRS.

Transmission Speed Sensor: Description and Operation 42RLE Automatic Transmission
Description
DESCRIPTION
The Input (1) and Output (2) Speed Sensors are two-wire magnetic pickup devices that generate
AC signals as rotation occurs. They are mounted in the left side of the transmission case and are
considered primary inputs to the Transmission Control Module (TCM).
Operation
OPERATION
The Input Speed Sensor provides information on how fast the input shaft is rotating. As the teeth of
the input clutch hub pass by the sensor coil, an AC voltage is generated and sent to the TCM. The
TCM interprets this information as input shaft rpm.
The Output Speed Sensor generates an AC signal in a similar fashion, though its coil is excited by
rotation of the rear planetary carrier lugs. The TCM interprets this information as output shaft rpm.
The TCM compares the input and output speed signals to determine the following:
- Transmission gear ratio
- Speed ratio error detection
- CVI calculation
The TCM also compares the input speed signal and the engine speed signal to determine the
following:
- Torque converter clutch slippage
- Torque converter element speed ratio

Transmission Temperature Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation 545RFE Automatic
Transmission
Description
DESCRIPTION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) is part of the solenoid module, which is mounted to the top
of the valve body inside the transmission.
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) has five switch contact pins that:
- Determine shift lever position
- Supply ground to the Starter Relay in Park and Neutral only.
- Supply +12 V to the backup lamps in Reverse only.
The TRS also has an integrated temperature sensor (thermistor) that communicates transmission
temperature to the TCM and PCM.
Operation
OPERATION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) communicates shift lever position to the TCM as a
combination of open and closed switches. Each shift lever position has an assigned combination of
switch states (open/closed) that the TCM receives from four sense circuits. The TCM interprets this
information and determines the appropriate transmission gear position and shift schedule.
There are many possible combinations of open and closed switches (codes). Seven of these
possible codes are related to gear position and five are recognized as "between gear" codes. This
results in many codes which should never occur. These are called "invalid" codes. An invalid code
will result in a DTC, and the TCM will then determine the shift lever position based on pressure
switch data. This allows reasonably normal transmission operation with a TRS failure.

Four Wheel Drive Selector Switch: Description and Operation NV243 Transfer Case
Description
DESCRIPTION
The selector switch assembly is mounted in the left side of the vehicle's Instrument Panel (IP) and
consists of a rotary knob connected to a resistive network for the mode and range shift selections.
Also located in this assembly is a recessed, normally open momentary switch for making shifts into
and out of transfer case NEUTRAL. A pen, or similar instrument, is used to make a NEUTRAL shift
selection, thus reducing the likelihood of an inadvertent shift request.
The selector switch also contains four light emitting diode's (LED's) to indicate the transfer case
position and whether a shift is in progress.
Operation
OPERATION
As the position of the selector switch varies, the resistance between the Mode Sensor supply
voltage pin and the Mode Sensor output will vary. Hardware, software, and calibrations within the
Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM) are provided that interpret the selector switch resistance as
given in the table below:
For resistances between the ranges B-E shown for each valid position (T-Case NEUTRAL, 4LO,
4HI, 2WD), the TCCM may interpret the resistance as:
- either of the neighboring valid positions.
- as an invalid fault position.
For resistances between the ranges E and F shown for 2WD and in-between positions, the TCCM
may interpret the resistance as:
- the 2WD position.
- an invalid fault position.
- a valid in-between position.
For resistances between the ranges F and G shown for in-between positions and fault condition
(open), the TCCM may interpret the resistance as:

- a valid in-between position.
- an invalid fault position.
For resistances between the ranges A and B shown for the fault condition (short) and T-Case
NEUTRAL, the TCCM may interpret the resistance as:
- the T-Case NEUTRAL position.
- an invalid fault position.
The LED's in the selector assembly are illuminated/flashed in the following manner to indicate a
particular condition or state.
- A solidly illuminated LED indicates a successfully completed shift and the current operating mode
of the transfer case. While a shift has been requested but not yet completed, the LED for the
desired transfer case position is flashed.
- A flashing operating mode LED for the desired gear indicates that a shift to that position has been
requested, but all of the driver controllable conditions have not been met. This is in an attempt to
notify the driver that the transmission needs to be put into NEUTRAL, the vehicle speed is too
great, or some other condition outlined (other than a diagnostic failure that would prevent this shift)
elsewhere See: Powertrain Management/Transmission Control Systems/Relays and Modules Transmission and Drivetrain/Relays and Modules - Transfer Case/Control Module/Description and
Operation/Operation is not met. Note that this flashing will continue indefinitely until the conditions
are eventually met, or the selector switch position is changed, or if diagnostic routines no longer
allow the requested shift.
- If the driver attempts to make a shift into transfer case NEUTRAL, and any of the driver
controllable conditions are not met, the request will be ignored until all of the conditions are met or
until the NEUTRAL select button is released. Additionally the neutral lamp will flash, or begin to
flash while the button is depressed and operator controllable conditions are not being met. All of
the LED's except the Neutral will flash if any of the operator controllable conditions for shifting are
not met while the Neutral button is depressed. This "toggle" type of feature is necessary because
the TCCM would interpret another request immediately after the shift into transfer case NEUTRAL
has completed.
- No LED's illuminated indicate a fault in the transfer case control system.

The selector switch assembly is mounted in the left side of the vehicle's Instrument Panel (IP) and
consists of a rotary knob connected to a resistive network for the mode and range shift selections.
Also located in this assembly is a recessed, normally open momentary switch for making shifts into
and out of transfer case NEUTRAL. A pen, or similar instrument, is used to make a NEUTRAL shift
selection, thus reducing the likelihood of an inadvertent shift request.
The selector switch also contains light emitting diode's (LED's) to indicate the transfer case position
and whether a shift is in progress.
Operation
OPERATION
As the position of the selector switch varies, the resistance between the Mode Sensor supply
voltage pin and the Mode Sensor output will vary. Hardware, software, and calibrations within the
Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM) are provided that interpret the selector switch resistance as
given in the table below:
For resistances between the ranges B-E shown for each valid position (T-Case NEUTRAL, 4LO,
4HI, AWD), the TCCM may interpret the resistance as:
- either of the neighboring valid positions.
- as an invalid fault position.
For resistances between the ranges E and F shown for AWD and in-between positions, the TCCM
may interpret the resistance as:
- the AWD position.
- an invalid fault position.
- a valid in-between position.
For resistances between the ranges F and G shown for in-between positions and fault condition
(open), the TCCM may interpret the resistance as:
- a valid in-between position.
- an invalid fault position.
For resistances between the ranges A and B shown for the fault condition (short) and , T-Case
NEUTRAL, the TCCM may interpret the resistance as:
- the T-Case NEUTRAL position.
- an invalid fault position.
The LED's in the selector assembly are illuminated/flashed in the following manner to indicate a
particular condition or state.
- A solidly illuminated LED indicates a successfully completed shift and the current operating mode
of the transfer case. While a shift has been requested but not yet completed, the LED for the
desired transfer case position is flashed.
- A flashing operating mode LED for the desired gear indicates that a shift to that position has been
requested, but all of the driver controllable conditions have not been met. This is in an attempt to
notify the driver that the transmission needs to be put into NEUTRAL, the vehicle speed is too
great, or some other condition outlined (other than a diagnostic failure that would prevent this shift)

Module/Description and Operation/Operation is not met. Note that this flashing will continue
indefinitely until the conditions are eventually met, or the selector switch position is changed, or if
diagnostic routines no longer allow the requested shift.
- If the driver attempts to make a shift into transfer case NEUTRAL, and any of the driver
controllable conditions are not met, the request will be ignored until all of the conditions are met or
until the NEUTRAL select button is released. Additionally the neutral lamp will flash, or begin to
flash while the button is depressed and operator controllable conditions are not being met. All of
the LED's except the Neutral will flash if any of the operator controllable conditions for shifting are
not met while the Neutral button is depressed. This "toggle" type of feature is necessary because
the TCCM would interpret another request immediately after the shift into transfer case NEUTRAL
has completed.
- No LED's illuminated indicate a fault in the transfer case control system.

NV244 GENII Transfer Case
Gear Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation NV244 GENII Transfer Case
Description
DESCRIPTION
The transfer case mode sensor is an electronic device whose output can be interpreted to indicate
the shift motor shaft's rotary position. The sensor consists of a magnetic ring and four Hall Effect
Transistors to create a 4 channel digital device (non-contacting) whose output converts the motor
shaft position into a coded signal. The TCCM must supply 5VDC (+/- 0.5v) to the sensor and
monitor the shift motor position. The four channels are denoted A, B, C, and D. The sensor is
mechanically linked to the shaft of the cam which causes the transfer case shifting. The mode
sensor draws less than 53 mA.
Operation
OPERATION
During normal vehicle operation, the Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM) monitors the mode
sensor outputs at least every 250 (+/-50) milliseconds when the shift motor is stationary and 400
microseconds when the shift motor is active. A mode sensor signal between 3.8 Volts and 0.8 Volts
is considered to be undefined.
Refer to SECTOR ANGLES vs.TRANSFER CASE POSITION for the relative angles of the transfer
case shift sector versus the interpreted transfer case gear operating mode. Refer to MODE
SENSOR CHANNEL STATES for the sensor codes returned to the TCCM for each transfer case
mode sensor position. The various between gears positions can also be referred as the transfer
case's coarse position. These coarse positions come into play during shift attempts.

Gear Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation NV271 Transfer Case
Description
DESCRIPTION
The transfer case position sensor is an electronic device whose output can be interpreted to
indicate the transfer case's current operating mode. The sensor consists of a five position, resistive
multiplexed circuit which returns a specific resistance value to the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) for each transfer case operating mode. The sensor is located on the top of the transfer
case, just left of the transfer case centerline and rides against the sector plate roostercomb. The
PCM supplies 5VDC (+/- 0.5V) to the sensor and monitors the return voltage to determine the
sector plate, and therefore the transfer case, position.
Operation
OPERATION
Position Sensor Linear Movement
During normal vehicle operation, the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitors the transfer case
position sensor return voltage to determine the operating mode of the transfer case. Refer to the
Operating Mode Versus Resistance table for the correct resistance for each position.

Heated Glass Element Switch: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The switch for the rear window defogger (EBL) system (1) is integrated into the A/C-heater control
(2), which is located in the center of the instrument panel. When the rear window defogger switch is
pressed to ON, a request signal is sent on the CAN-B Bus to the totally integrated power module
(TIPM) to operate the EBL system.
When the high side driver in the totally integrated power module (TIPM) is energized, current is
directed to the rear defogger grid lines and to the heated side view mirrors. The grid lines heat the
glass to help clear the surface of fog or frost.

Heated Glass Element Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
An amber indicator will illuminate when the rear window defogger switch is activated. When
activated, the switch sends a request signal to the to the totally integrated power module (TIPM) to
energize the internal EBL high side driver to provide battery current to the rear window defogger
grid lines and to the heated side view mirrors.
NOTE: The EBL system turns off automatically after 15 minutes of initial operation. Each following
activation cycle of the EBL system will last 10 minutes.
The EBL system will be automatically turned off after an initial programmed time interval of about
15 minutes, as long as the ignition switch is in RUN. After the initial time interval has expired, if the
rear window defogger switch is pressed to ON again during the same ignition cycle, the EBL
system will automatically turn off after about 10 minutes. The EBL system will automatically shut off
if the ignition switch is turned to any position other than RUN, or it can be turned off manually by
pressing the rear window defogger switch a second time.
The rear window defogger switch is diagnosed using a scan tool.
The rear window defogger switch and the rear window defogger indicator cannot be repaired and
the A/C-heater control must be replaced if found inoperative or damaged See: Heating and Air
Conditioning/Control Assembly/Service and Repair/A/C Heater Control - Removal .

Power Window Switch: Testing and Inspection
WINDOW SWITCH
The Light-Emitting Diode (LED) illumination lamps for all of the power window and lock switch and
bezel unit switch paddles receive battery current through the power window circuit breaker in the
junction block. If all of the LEDs are inoperative in both the power window and lock switch units and
the power windows are inoperative. See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control
Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code Tests and Associated Procedures If the
power windows operate, but any or all of the LEDs are inoperative, the power window and lock
switch units with the inoperative LED(s) is faulty and must be replaced. For complete circuit
diagrams, refer to the appropriate wiring information.
1. Check the fuse in the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) and the circuit breaker located
near the park brake pedal. If OK, go to STEP 2. If
not OK, replace the faulty fuse or circuit breaker.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the On position. Check for battery voltage at the fuse in the Totally
Integrated Power Module (TIPM). If OK, turn the
ignition switch to the Off position and go to STEP 3. If not OK, check circuit breaker and repair the
circuit to the ignition switch as required.
3. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable. Remove the power window switch unit from
the door trim panel (passenger doors). The drivers
door switch is included with the window/lock switch See: Sensors and Switches - Body and
Frame/Power Door Lock Switch/Testing and Inspection/Diagnosis and Testing for service
procedures. Unplug the wire harness connector from the switch unit.
4. Test the power window switch continuity. See the Power Window Switch Continuity charts to
determine if the continuity is correct in the Off, Up
and Down switch positions. If OK, See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control
Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code Tests and Associated Procedures . If not

Washer Fluid Level Switch: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The washer fluid level switch (3) is a two-pin conductivity sensor with no moving parts mounted on
the rearward facing side of the washer reservoir adjacent to the washer pump/motor unit in the
engine compartment. Only the molded plastic switch mounting flange and the integral connector
receptacle (4) are visible when the switch is installed in the reservoir. A short nipple formation (1)
extends from the inner surface of the switch mounting flange, and a barb on the nipple is pressed
through a rubber grommet seal installed in the mounting hole of the reservoir. Two over-molded
pins or electrodes (2) extend from the back of the nipple formation.
The washer fluid level switch cannot be adjusted or repaired. If ineffective or damaged, the switch
must be replaced.

Washer Fluid Level Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The washer fluid level switch uses fluid conductivity to monitor the level of the washer fluid in the
washer reservoir. Electricity is conducted between the two switch pins or electrodes only when they
are immersed in the washer fluid, which closes the switch circuit. When the fluid level in the washer
reservoir falls below the pins, electrical current cannot be conducted and the switch becomes an
open circuit, which signals a low fluid condition.
In order to prevent an electrical charge from accumulating in the electrical leads of the switch, the
switch receives current that is pulsed from the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) located in
the engine compartment near the battery. The TIPM monitors the switch return signal and is
programmed to respond to three consecutive open switch readings by sending an electronic
washer fluid indicator lamp-ON message to the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also
known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The EMIC responds to this message by illuminating the washer fluid indicator and by sounding an
audible chime tone warning.
The washer fluid level switch is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated take
out and connector of the right (gasoline engines) or left (diesel engines) headlamp and dash wire
harness. The switch is connected in series between a sensor return circuit and the washer fluid
switch sense input to the TIPM.
The washer fluid level switch and the hard wired circuits between the switch and the TIPM may be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information. However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of
the washer fluid level switch or the electronic controls or communication between other modules
and devices that provide some features of the wiper and washer systems. The most reliable,
efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the washer fluid level switch or the electronic controls
and communication related to washer fluid level switch operation requires the use of a diagnostic
scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Alignment: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
NOTE: Suspension components with rubber/urethane bushings should be tightened with the
vehicle at normal ride height. It is important to have the springs supporting the weight of the vehicle
when the fasteners are torqued. If springs are not at their normal ride position, vehicle ride comfort
could be affected and premature bushing wear may occur.
Wheel alignment involves the correct positioning of the wheels in relation to the vehicle. The
positioning is accomplished through suspension and steering linkage adjustments. An alignment is
considered essential for efficient steering, good directional stability and to minimize tire wear. The
most important measurements of an alignment are caster, camber and toe.
CAUTION: Never attempt to modify suspension or steering components by heating or bending.

Alignment: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
- CASTER is the forward or rearward tilt of the steering knuckle from vertical. Tilting the top of the
knuckle forward provides less positive caster. Tilting the top of the knuckle rearward provides more
positive caster. Positive caster promotes directional stability. This angle enables the front wheels to
return to a straight ahead position after turns
- CAMBER is the inward or outward tilt of the wheel relative to the center of the vehicle. Tilting the
top of the wheel inward provides negative camber. Tilting the top of the wheel outward provides
positive camber. Incorrect camber will cause wear on the inside or outside edge of the tire
- TOE is the difference between the leading inside edges and trailing inside edges of the front tires.
Wheel toe position out of specification cause's unstable steering, uneven tire wear and steering
wheel off- center. The wheel toe position is the final front wheel alignment adjustment
- THRUST ANGLE is the angle of the rear axle relative to the centerline of the vehicle. Incorrect
thrust angle can cause off-center steering and excessive tire wear. This angle is not adjustable,
damaged component(s) must be replaced to correct the thrust angle

Alignment: Testing and Inspection
PRE-ALIGNMENT INSPECTION
Before starting wheel alignment, the following inspection and necessary corrections must be
completed. Refer to Suspension and Steering System Diagnosis Chart below for additional
information.
1. Inspect tires for size, air pressure and tread wear. 2. Inspect front wheel bearings for wear. 3.
Inspect front wheels for excessive radial or lateral runout and balance. 4. Inspect ball studs, linkage
pivot points and steering gear for looseness, roughness or binding. 5. Inspect suspension
components for wear and noise. 6. Road test the vehicle.

CAMBER, CASTER AND TOE ADJUSTMENT
Camber and caster angle adjustments involve changing the position of the lower control arm with
the slots in the frame brackets (1).
CASTER
Moving the front or rear position of the lower control arm in or out, will change the caster angle and
camber angle significantly. To maintain the camber angle while adjusting caster, move one pivot
bolt of the lower control arm in or out. Then move the other pivot bolt of the lower control arm in the
opposite direction.
To increase positive caster angle, move the rear position of the lower control arm inward (toward
the engine). Move the front of the lower control arm outward (away from the engine) slightly until
the desired camber angle is obtained.
CAMBER
Move both pivot bolts of the lower control arm together in or out. This will change the camber angle
significantly and little effect on the caster angle.
After adjustment is made tighten the lower control arm nuts to proper torque specification.
TOE ADJUSTMENT
The wheel toe position adjustment is the final adjustment.
1. Start the engine and turn wheels both ways before straightening the wheels. Secure the steering
wheel with the front wheels in the straight-ahead
position.
2. Loosen the tie rod jam nuts (1).

Drive Belt: Testing and Inspection
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
VISUAL DIAGNOSIS
NOTE: Diesel Engine - If a belt is broken or frayed, inspect engine speed sensor ( located near the
crankshaft damper) for damage.
When diagnosing serpentine accessory drive belts, small cracks that run across the ribbed surface
of the belt from rib to rib , are considered normal. These are not a reason to replace the belt.
However, cracks running along a rib (not across) are not normal. Any belt with cracks running
along a rib must be replaced. Also replace the belt if it has excessive wear, frayed cords or severe
glazing.
Refer to ACCESSORY DRIVE BELT DIAGNOSIS CHART for further belt diagnosis.
NOISE DIAGNOSIS
Noises generated by the accessory drive belt are most noticeable at idle. Before replacing a belt to
resolve a noise condition, inspect all of the accessory drive pulleys for alignment, glazing, or
excessive end play.

CAUTION: When installing the serpentine accessory drive belt, the belt MUST be routed correctly.
If not, the engine may overheat due to the water pump rotating in the wrong direction.
NOTE: When installing accessory drive belt onto pulleys, make sure that belt is properly routed and
all V-grooves make proper contact with pulleys.
2. Install new belt. Route the belt around all pulleys except the idler pulley. Rotate the tensioner
arm until it contacts it's stop position. Route the belt
around the idler and slowly let the tensioner rotate into the belt. Make sure the belt is seated onto
all pulleys.
3. With the drive belt installed, inspect the belt wear indicator. On 4.7L Engines only, the gap
between the tang and the housing stop (measurement

DISCUSSION:
Chrysler Group vehicle fluid systems do NOT require regular flushing. These systems include:
engine oil, transmission oil, axle lube, brake fluid, power steering fluid, and refrigerant. The only
exception to this requirement are published in the vehicle maintenance schedules, e.g. engine
coolant.
Exceptions to this recommendation include only those instances where a failure has occurred
and/or the system has become compromised, contaminated or overheated beyond the normal
operating range.
Chrysler Group does NOT recommend aftermarket chemicals to flush the engine, transmission,
brake or steering systems. Chemicals contained in these products can damage the system
elastomeric components, and contaminate the component fluid, leading to loss of
system/component durability and service life. When necessary, only the original approved system
fluid should be used to flush these components using teamPSE(R) approved equipment.
If the engine coolant contains a considerable amount of sediment, clean and flush with Mopar
Cooling System Flush, p/n 04856977, or equivalent. Follow with a thorough rinsing to remove all
deposits and chemicals. Refill with a minimum of a 50% mixture of the specified coolant and
distilled water.

BRAKE FLUID CONTAMINATION
Indications of fluid contamination are swollen or deteriorated rubber parts.
Swollen rubber parts indicate the presence of petroleum in the brake fluid.
To test for contamination, put a small amount of drained brake fluid in clear glass jar. If fluid
separates into layers, there is mineral oil or other fluid contamination of the brake fluid.
If brake fluid is contaminated, drain and thoroughly flush system. Replace master cylinder,
proportioning valve, caliper seals, wheel cylinder seals, Antilock Brakes hydraulic unit and all
hydraulic fluid hoses.

ENGINE COOLANT
WARNING: Antifreeze is an ethylene-glycol base coolant and is harmful if swallowed or inhaled. If
swallowed, drink two glasses of water and induce vomiting. If inhaled, move to fresh air area. Seek
medical attention immediately. Do not store in open or unmarked containers. Wash skin and
clothing thoroughly after coming in contact with ethylene-glycol. Keep out of reach of children.
Dispose of glycol base coolant properly, contact your dealer or government agency for location of
collection center in your area. Do not open a cooling system when the engine is at operating
temperature or hot under pressure, personal injury can result. Avoid radiator cooling fan when
engine compartment related service is performed, personal injury can result.
CAUTION: Use of Propylene-Glycol based coolants is not recommended, as they provide less
freeze protection and less corrosion protection.
The cooling system is designed around the coolant. The coolant must accept heat from engine
metal, in the cylinder head area near the exhaust valves and engine block. Then coolant carries the
heat to the radiator where the tube/fin radiator can transfer the heat to the air.
The use of aluminum cylinder blocks, cylinder heads, and water pumps requires special corrosion
protection. Mopar(R) Antifreeze/Coolant, 5 Year/100,000 Mile Formula (MS-9769), or the
equivalent ethylene-glycol base coolant with organic corrosion inhibitors (called HOAT, for Hybrid
Organic Additive Technology) is recommended. This coolant offers the best engine cooling without
corrosion when mixed with 50% ethylene-glycol and 50% distilled water to obtain a freeze point of
-37°C (-35°F). If it loses color or becomes contaminated, drain, flush, and replace with fresh
properly mixed coolant solution.
CAUTION: Mopar(R) Antifreeze/Coolant, 5 Year/100,000 Mile Formula (MS-9769) may not be
mixed with any other type of antifreeze. Mixing of coolants other than specified (non-HOAT or other
HOAT) may result in engine damage that may not be covered under the new vehicle warranty, and
decreased corrosion protection.
COOLANT PERFORMANCE
The required ethylene-glycol and water mixture depends upon climate and vehicle operating
conditions. The coolant performance of various mixtures follows:
Pure Water- Water can absorb more heat than a mixture of water and ethylene-glycol. This is for
purpose of heat transfer only. Water also freezes at a higher temperature and allows corrosion.
100 percent Ethylene-Glycol - The corrosion inhibiting additives in ethylene-glycol need the
presence of water to dissolve. Without water, additives form deposits in system. These act as
insulation causing temperature to rise to as high as 149°C (300°F). This temperature is hot enough
to melt plastic. The increased temperature can result in sever engine damage. In addition, 100
percent ethylene-glycol freezes at -22°C (-8°F).
50/50 Ethylene-Glycol and Water - Is the recommended mixture, it provides protection against
freezing to -37°C (-34°F). The antifreeze concentration must always be a minimum of 44 percent,
year-round in all climates. If percentage is lower, engine parts may be eroded by cavitation.
Maximum protection against freezing is provided with a 68 percent antifreeze concentration, which
prevents freezing down to -67.7°C (-90°F). A higher percentage will freeze at a warmer
temperature. Also, a higher percentage of antifreeze can cause the engine to overheat because
specific heat of antifreeze is lower than that of water.
CAUTION: Richer antifreeze mixtures cannot be measured with normal field equipment and can
cause problems associated with 100 percent ethylene-glycol.

Operation
OPERATION
Coolant flows through the engine block, cylinder head, absorbing the heat from the engine, then
flows to the radiator where the cooling fins in the radiator transfers the heat from the coolant to the
atmosphere. On the 6.7L diesel engine, coolant also flows through the EGR cooler and
turbocharger actuator. During cold weather the ethylene-glycol or propylene-glycol coolant
prevents water present in the cooling system from freezing within temperatures indicated by
mixture ratio of coolant to water.

Coolant: Testing and Inspection
COOLANT CONCENTRATION TESTING
Coolant concentration should be checked when any additional coolant was added to system or
after a coolant drain, flush and refill. The coolant mixture offers optimum engine cooling and
protection against corrosion when mixed to a freeze point of -37°C (-34°F) to -46°C (-50°F). The
use of a hydrometer or Tool 8266, refractometer can be used to test coolant concentration.
A hydrometer will test the amount of glycol in a mixture by measuring the specific gravity of the
mixture. The higher the concentration of ethylene glycol, the larger the number of balls that will
float, and higher the freeze protection (up to a maximum of 60% by volume glycol).
A Refractometer Tool 8286 will test the amount of glycol in a coolant mixture by measuring the
amount a beam of light bends as it passes through the fluid.
Some coolant manufactures use other types of glycols into their coolant formulations. Propylene
glycol is the most common new coolant. However, propylene glycol based coolants do not provide
the same freezing protection and corrosion protection and are not recommended.
CAUTION: Do not mix types of coolant - corrosion protection will be severely reduced.

and/or the system has become compromised, contaminated or overheated beyond the normal
operating range.
Chrysler Group does NOT recommend aftermarket chemicals to flush the engine, transmission,
brake or steering systems. Chemicals contained in these products can damage the system
elastomeric components, and contaminate the component fluid, leading to loss of
system/component durability and service life. When necessary, only the original approved system
fluid should be used to flush these components using teamPSE(R) approved equipment.
If the engine coolant contains a considerable amount of sediment, clean and flush with Mopar
Cooling System Flush, p/n 04856977, or equivalent. Follow with a thorough rinsing to remove all
deposits and chemicals. Refill with a minimum of a 50% mixture of the specified coolant and
distilled water.

Transmission (CVT) and WG vehicles equipped with a diesel engine (sales code ENF) and a
W5J400 or NAG1 transmission (sales code DGJ).
DISCUSSION:
ATF+4(R) - (Type 9602) is being used as factory fill for Chrysler Group automatic transmissions.
ATF+4(R) is recommended for all vehicles equipped with Chrysler Group automatic transmissions
EXCEPT FOR THOSE LISTED IN THE NOTE ABOVE.
NOTE:
ATF+4(R) must always be used in vehicles that were originally filled with ATF+4(R). DO NOT USE
ANY OTHER FLUID.
NOTE:
ATF+4(R) is backward compatible with ATF+3, ATF+2, and ATF+. Additionally, ATF+4(R) can be
used to top off vehicles that used ATF+3, ATF+2, or ATF+.
NOTE:
If ATF+4® is used to service models originally filled with ATF+3, ATF+2, and ATF+ the fluid
maintenance schedules listed for that model does not change. The service interval currently in
effect for a given model should continue to be followed. Refer to the Service or Owners manual for
maintenance schedule directions.
In general terms, If ATF+, ATF+2 or ATF+3 was the recommended fluid, it is now recommended to
use ATF+4®
BENEFITS
^ Better anti-wear properties
^ Improved rust/corrosion prevention
^ Controls oxidation
^ Eliminates deposits
^ Controls friction
^ Retains anti-foaming properties
^ Superior properties for low temperature operation
FLUID COLOR
Mopar ATF+4(R) has exceptional durability. However, the red dye used in ATF+4(R) is not
permanent; as the fluid ages it may become darker or appear brown in color. ATF+4(R) also has a
unique odor that may change with age. With ATF+4(R) fluid, color and odor are no longer
indicators of fluid condition and do not necessarily support a fluid change.

Fluid - A/T: Description and Operation Description
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (ALL BUT AISIN TRANSMISSION)
NOTE: Refer to fluid level checking procedures.
Mopar(R) ATF +4, Automatic Transmission Fluid is the recommended fluid for DaimlerChrysler
automatic transmissions.
Dexron II fluid IS NOT recommended. Clutch chatter can result from the use of improper fluid.
Mopar(R) ATF +4, Automatic Transmission Fluid when new is red in color. The ATF is dyed red so
it can be identified from other fluids used in the vehicle such as engine oil or antifreeze. The red
color is not permanent and is not an indicator of fluid condition. As the vehicle is driven, the ATF
will begin to look darker in color and may eventually become brown. This is normal. ATF+4 also
has a unique odor that may change with age. Consequently, odor and color cannot be used to
indicate the fluid condition or the need for a fluid change.
AISIN TRANSMISSION
Mopar(R) AS68RC, Automatic Transmission Fluid is the recommended fluid for AISIN AS68RC
TRANSMISSION.
Mopar(R) AS68RC, Automatic Transmission Fluid when new is red in color. The ATF is dyed red
so it can be identified from other fluids used in the vehicle such as engine oil or antifreeze. The red
color is not permanent and is not an indicator of fluid condition. As the vehicle is driven, the ATF
will begin to look darker in color and may eventually become brown. This is normal. Mopar(R)
AS68RC, also has a unique odor that may change with age. Consequently, odor and color cannot
be used to indicate the fluid condition or the need for a fluid change.
FLUID ADDITIVES
Chrysler strongly recommends against the addition of any fluids to the transmission, other than
those automatic transmission fluids listed above. Exceptions to this policy are the use of special
dyes to aid in detecting fluid leaks.
Various "special" additives and supplements exist that claim to improve shift feel and/or quality.
These additives and others also claim to improve converter clutch operation and inhibit
overheating, oxidation, varnish, and sludge. These claims have not been supported to the
satisfaction of Chrysler and these additives must not be used. The use of transmission "sealers"
should also be avoided, since they may adversely affect the integrity of transmission seals.

Fluid - A/T: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION - AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID
The automatic transmission fluid is selected based upon several qualities. The fluid must provide a
high level of protection for the internal components by providing a lubricating film between adjacent
metal components. The fluid must also be thermally stable so that it can maintain a consistent
viscosity through a large temperature range. If the viscosity stays constant through the temperature
range of operation, transmission operation and shift feel will remain consistent. Transmission fluid
must also be a good conductor of heat. The fluid must absorb heat from the internal transmission
components and transfer that heat to the transmission case.

Causes Of Burnt Fluid
CAUSES OF BURNT FLUID
Burnt, discolored fluid is a result of overheating which has two primary causes.
1. A result of restricted fluid flow through the main and/or auxiliary cooler. This condition is usually
the result of a faulty or improperly installed
drainback valve, a damaged oil cooler, or severe restrictions in the coolers and lines caused by
debris or kinked lines.
2. Heavy duty operation with a vehicle not properly equipped for this type of operation. Trailer
towing or similar high load operation will overheat
the transmission fluid if the vehicle is improperly equipped. Such vehicles should have an auxiliary
transmission fluid cooler, a heavy duty cooling system, and the engine/axle ratio combination
needed to handle heavy loads.
Effects Of Incorrect Fluid Level
EFFECTS OF INCORRECT FLUID LEVEL
A low fluid level allows the pump to take in air along with the fluid. Air in the fluid will cause fluid
pressures to be low and develop slower than normal. If the transmission is overfilled, the gears
churn the fluid into foam. This aerates the fluid and causing the same conditions occurring with a
low level. In either case, air bubbles cause fluid overheating, oxidation, and varnish buildup which
interferes with valve and clutch operation. Foaming also causes fluid expansion which can result in
fluid overflow from the transmission vent or fill tube. Fluid overflow can easily be mistaken for a
leak if inspection is not careful.
Fluid Contamination
FLUID CONTAMINATION
Transmission fluid contamination is generally a result of:
- adding incorrect fluid
- failure to clean dipstick and fill tube when checking level
- engine coolant entering the fluid
- internal failure that generates debris
- overheat that generates sludge (fluid breakdown)
- failure to replace contaminated converter after repair
The use of non-recommended fluids can result in transmission failure. The usual results are erratic
shifts, slippage, abnormal wear and eventual failure due to fluid breakdown and sludge formation.
Avoid this condition by using recommended fluids only.
The dipstick cap and fill tube should be wiped clean before checking fluid level. Dirt, grease and
other foreign material on the cap and tube could fall into the tube if not removed beforehand. Take
the time to wipe the cap and tube clean before withdrawing the dipstick.
Engine coolant in the transmission fluid is generally caused by a cooler malfunction. The only
remedy is to replace the radiator as the cooler in the radiator is not a serviceable part. If coolant
has circulated through the transmission, an overhaul is necessary.
The torque converter should also be replaced whenever a failure generates sludge and debris. This
is necessary because normal converter flushing procedures will not remove all contaminants.

3. Install a new filter and o-ring on bottom of the valve body and tighten retaining screws to 5 Nm
(45 in. lbs.).
NOTE: Before installing the oil pan bolt (5) in the bolt hole located between the torque converter
clutch on and U/D clutch pressure tap circuits, it will be necessary to replenish the sealing patch on
the bolt using Mopar(R) Lock & Seal Adhesive.
4. Clean the oil pan and magnet. Reinstall pan using new Mopar(R) Silicone Adhesive sealant.
Tighten oil pan bolts to 20 Nm (14.5 ft. lbs.). 5. Pour four quarts of Mopar(R) ATF+4, Automatic
Transmission Fluid, through the dipstick opening. 6. Start engine and allow to idle for at least one
minute. Then, with parking and service brakes applied, move selector lever momentarily to each
position, ending in the park or neutral position.
7. Check the transmission fluid level and add an appropriate amount to bring the transmission fluid
level to 3mm (1/8 in.) below the lowest mark on
the dipstick.
8. Recheck the fluid level after the transmission has reached normal operating temperature, 82° C
(180°F). 9. To prevent dirt from entering transmission, make certain that dipstick is fully seated into
the dipstick opening.
Transmission Fill - 42RLE
TRANSMISSION FILL
To avoid overfilling transmission after a fluid change or overhaul, perform the following procedure:
1. Remove dipstick and insert clean funnel in transmission fill tube. 2. Add following initial quantity
of Mopar(R) ATF +4 to transmission:
a. If only fluid and filter were changed, add 3 pints (1-1/2 quarts) of ATF +4 to transmission. b. If
transmission was completely overhauled, torque converter was replaced or drained, and cooler
was flushed, add 12 pints (6 quarts) of ATF
+4 to transmission.
3. Apply parking brakes. 4. Start and run engine at normal curb idle speed. 5. Apply service brakes,
shift transmission through all gear ranges then back to NEUTRAL, set parking brake, and leave
engine running at curb idle
speed.
6. Remove funnel, insert dipstick and check fluid level. If level is low, add fluid to bring level to MIN
mark on dipstick. Check to see if the oil
level is equal on both sides of the dipstick. If one side is noticeably higher than the other, the
dipstick has picked up some oil from the dipstick tube. Allow the oil to drain down the dipstick tube
and re-check.
7. Drive vehicle until transmission fluid is at normal operating temperature. 8. With the engine
running at curb idle speed, the gear selector in NEUTRAL, and the parking brake applied, check
the transmission fluid level.
CAUTION: Do not overfill transmission, fluid foaming and shifting problems can result.
9. Add fluid to bring level up to MAX arrow mark.
When fluid level is correct, shut engine off, release park brake, remove funnel, and install dipstick
in fill tube.

Fluid Level Check - 545RFE
FLUID LEVEL CHECK
Low fluid level can cause a variety of conditions because it allows the pump to take in air along with
the fluid. As in any hydraulic system, air bubbles make the fluid spongy, therefore, pressures will be
low and build up slowly.
Improper filling can also raise the fluid level too high. When the transmssion has too much fluid, the
geartrain churns up foam and cause the same conditions which occur with a low fluid level.
In either case, air bubbles can cause overheating and fluid oxidation, and varnishing. This can
interfere with normal valve, clutch, and accumulator operation. Foaming can also result in fluid
escaping from the transmission vent where it may be mistaken for a leak.
The transmission has a dipstick to check oil level. It is located on the right side of the engine. Be
sure to wipe all dirt from dipstick handle before removing.
The torque converter fills in both the P (PARK) and N (NEUTRAL) positions. Place the selector
lever in P (PARK) to be sure that the fluid level check is accurate. The engine should be running at
idle speed for at least one minute, with the vehicle on level ground. At normal operating
temperature (approximately 82° C. or 180° F), the fluid level is correct if it is in the HOT region
(cross-hatched area) on the oil level indicator. The fluid level will be approximately at the upper
COLD hole of the dipstick at 21° C (70° F) fluid temperature.

the oil filter seal in the bottom of the oil pump. If the seal is not installed completely in the oil pump,
or is otherwise damaged, then remove
and discard the oil filter seal from the bottom of the oil pump. If the seal is installed correctly and is
in good condition, it can be reused.
12. If replacing the cooler return filter (2), use Oil Filter Wrench 8321 to remove the filter from the
transmission. 13. Dispose of used trans fluid and filter(s) properly.
INSPECTION
Inspect bottom of pan and magnet for excessive amounts of metal. A light coating of clutch material
on the bottom of the pan does not indicate a problem unless accompanied by a slipping condition
or shift lag. If fluid and pan are contaminated with excessive amounts of debris, refer to the
appropriate diagnostic procedure.
CLEANING
1. Using a suitable solvent, clean pan and magnet. 2. Using a suitable gasket scraper, clean
original sealing material from surface of transmission case and the transmission pan.

9. Remove the screw holding the primary oil filter (1) to valve body.
10. Separate filter from valve body and oil pump and pour fluid in filter into drain pan. 11. Inspect
the oil filter seal in the bottom of the oil pump. If the seal is not installed completely in the oil pump,
or is otherwise damaged, then remove
and discard the oil filter seal from the bottom of the oil pump. If the seal is installed correctly and is
in good condition, it can be reused.
12. If replacing the cooler return filter (2), use Oil Filter Wrench 8321 to remove the filter from the
transmission. 13. Dispose of used trans fluid and filter(s) properly.
INSPECTION
Inspect bottom of pan and magnet for excessive amounts of metal. A light coating of clutch material
on the bottom of the pan does not indicate a problem unless accompanied by a slipping condition
or shift lag. If fluid and pan are contaminated with excessive amounts of debris, refer to the
appropriate diagnostic procedure.
CLEANING
1. Using a suitable solvent, clean pan and magnet. 2. Using a suitable gasket scraper, clean
original sealing material from surface of transmission case and the transmission pan.

CAUTION: The primary oil filter seal MUST be fully installed flush against the oil pump body. DO
NOT install the seal onto the filter neck and attempt to install the filter and seal as an assembly.
Damage to the transmission will result.
1. If necessary, install a new primary oil filter seal in the oil pump inlet bore. Seat the seal in the
bore with Installer 6960-A or another suitable tool
(appropriately sized drift or socket, the butt end of a hammer etc.).
2. Place replacement filter in position on valve body and into the oil pump. 3. Install screw to hold
the primary oil filter (1) to valve body. Tighten screw to 4.5 Nm (40 in. lbs.) torque. 4. Install new
cooler return filter (2) onto the transmission, if necessary. Torque the filter to 9.5 Nm (84 in.lbs.). 5.
Place bead of Mopar(R) RTV sealant onto the transmission case sealing surface. 6. Place pan in
position on transmission. 7. Install bolts to hold pan to transmission. Tighten bolts to 12 Nm (105 in.
lbs.) torque. 8. Lower vehicle and fill transmission with MOPAR(R) ATF +4.
Fluid Level Check - 68RFE
FLUID LEVEL CHECK
Low fluid level can cause a variety of conditions because it allows the pump to take in air along with
the fluid. As in any hydraulic system, air bubbles make the fluid spongy, therefore, pressures will be
low and build up slowly.
Improper filling can also raise the fluid level too high. When the transmssion has too much fluid, the
geartrain churns up foam and cause the same conditions which occur with a low fluid level.
In either case, air bubbles can cause overheating and fluid oxidation, and varnishing. This can
interfere with normal valve, clutch, and accumulator operation. Foaming can also result in fluid
escaping from the transmission vent where it may be mistaken for a leak.
The transmission has a dipstick to check oil level. It is located on the right side of the engine. Be
sure to wipe all dirt from dipstick handle before removing.
The torque converter fills in both the P (PARK) and N (NEUTRAL) positions. Place the selector
lever in P (PARK) to be sure that the fluid level check is accurate. The engine should be running at
idle speed for at least one minute, with the vehicle on level ground. At normal operating
temperature (approximately 82° C. or 180° F), the fluid level is correct if it is in the HOT region
(cross-hatched area) on the oil level indicator. The fluid level will be approximately at the upper
COLD hole of the dipstick at 21° C (70° F) fluid temperature.

DISCUSSION:
Chrysler Group vehicle fluid systems do NOT require regular flushing. These systems include:
engine oil, transmission oil, axle lube, brake fluid, power steering fluid, and refrigerant. The only
exception to this requirement are published in the vehicle maintenance schedules, e.g. engine
coolant.
Exceptions to this recommendation include only those instances where a failure has occurred
and/or the system has become compromised, contaminated or overheated beyond the normal
operating range.
Chrysler Group does NOT recommend aftermarket chemicals to flush the engine, transmission,
brake or steering systems. Chemicals contained in these products can damage the system
elastomeric components, and contaminate the component fluid, leading to loss of
system/component durability and service life. When necessary, only the original approved system
fluid should be used to flush these components using teamPSE(R) approved equipment.
If the engine coolant contains a considerable amount of sediment, clean and flush with Mopar
Cooling System Flush, p/n 04856977, or equivalent. Follow with a thorough rinsing to remove all
deposits and chemicals. Refill with a minimum of a 50% mixture of the specified coolant and
distilled water.

DISCUSSION:
Chrysler Group vehicle fluid systems do NOT require regular flushing. These systems include:
engine oil, transmission oil, axle lube, brake fluid, power steering fluid, and refrigerant. The only
exception to this requirement are published in the vehicle maintenance schedules, e.g. engine
coolant.
Exceptions to this recommendation include only those instances where a failure has occurred
and/or the system has become compromised, contaminated or overheated beyond the normal
operating range.
Chrysler Group does NOT recommend aftermarket chemicals to flush the engine, transmission,
brake or steering systems. Chemicals contained in these products can damage the system
elastomeric components, and contaminate the component fluid, leading to loss of
system/component durability and service life. When necessary, only the original approved system
fluid should be used to flush these components using teamPSE(R) approved equipment.
If the engine coolant contains a considerable amount of sediment, clean and flush with Mopar
Cooling System Flush, p/n 04856977, or equivalent. Follow with a thorough rinsing to remove all
deposits and chemicals. Refill with a minimum of a 50% mixture of the specified coolant and
distilled water.

DISCUSSION:
Chrysler Group vehicle fluid systems do NOT require regular flushing. These systems include:
engine oil, transmission oil, axle lube, brake fluid, power steering fluid, and refrigerant. The only
exception to this requirement are published in the vehicle maintenance schedules, e.g. engine
coolant.
Exceptions to this recommendation include only those instances where a failure has occurred
and/or the system has become compromised, contaminated or overheated beyond the normal
operating range.
Chrysler Group does NOT recommend aftermarket chemicals to flush the engine, transmission,
brake or steering systems. Chemicals contained in these products can damage the system
elastomeric components, and contaminate the component fluid, leading to loss of
system/component durability and service life. When necessary, only the original approved system
fluid should be used to flush these components using teamPSE(R) approved equipment.
If the engine coolant contains a considerable amount of sediment, clean and flush with Mopar
Cooling System Flush, p/n 04856977, or equivalent. Follow with a thorough rinsing to remove all
deposits and chemicals. Refill with a minimum of a 50% mixture of the specified coolant and
distilled water.

ENGINE OIL
WARNING: New or used engine oil can be irritating to the skin. Avoid prolonged or repeated skin
contact with engine oil. Contaminants in used engine oil, caused by internal combustion, can be
hazardous to your health. Thoroughly wash exposed skin with soap and water. Do not wash skin
with gasoline, diesel fuel, thinner, or solvents, health problems can result. Do not pollute, dispose
of used engine oil properly. Contact your dealer or government agency for location of collection
center in your area.
Only lubricants bearing designations defined by the following organization should be used.
- Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE)
- American Petroleum Institute (API)
- National Lubricating Grease Institute (NLGI)
- Association des Constructeurs EuropA■©ens d' Automobiles (European Automobile
Manufacturers Association) (ACEA)
API SERVICE GRADE CERTIFIED
Use an engine oil that is API Certified. MOPAR(R) provides engine oils, that meet or exceed this
requirement.
SAE VISCOSITY
An SAE viscosity grade is used to specify the viscosity of engine oil. Use only engine oils with
multiple viscosities such as 5W-20 or 5W-30. These are specified with a dual SAE viscosity grade
which indicates the cold-to-hot temperature viscosity range. Select an engine oil that is best suited
to your particular temperature range and variation. For 3.7L/4.7L engines SAE 5W-20 engine oil is
recommended for all operating temperatures. For 5.7L engines SAE 5W-20 engine oil is
recommended for all operating temperatures.These engine oils improve low temperature starting
and vehicle fuel economy. Refer to your engine oil filler cap for the recommended engine oil
viscosity for your vehicle. Vehicles with 5.7L engines equipped with Multiple Displacement System
(MDS) must use SAE 5W-20 oil. Failure to do so may result in improper operation of the Multiple
Displacement System (MDS). Refer to the engine oil filler cap for the recommended engine oil
viscosity for each vehicle.
ACEA Categories
For countries that use the ACEA European Oil Categories for Service Fill Oils, use engine oils that
meet the requirements of ACEA A1/B1, A2/B2, or A3/B3.
ENERGY CONSERVING OIL
An Energy Conserving type oil is recommended for gasoline engines. The designation of ENERGY
CONSERVING is located on the label of an engine oil container.
CONTAINER IDENTIFICATION
Dodge Ram 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (Truck V8-4.7L (2008))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Fluids > Engine Oil > Component Information > Description and Operation >
Engine Oil > Page 2298
Standard engine oil identification notations have been adopted to aid in the proper selection of
engine oil. The identifying notations are located on the front label of engine oil plastic bottles and
the top of engine oil cans.
This symbol means that the oil has been certified by the American Petroleum Institute (API).
Daimler/Chrysler only recommend API Certified engine oils. Use Mopar(R) engine oil or equivalent.
SYNTHETIC ENGINE OILS
There are a number of engine oils being promoted as either synthetic or semi-synthetic. If you
chose to use such a product, use only those oils that meet the American Petroleum Institute (API)
and SAE viscosity standard. Follow the service schedule that describes your driving type.
ENGINE OIL ADDITIVES/SUPPLEMENTS
The manufacturer does not recommend the addition of any engine oil additives/supplements to the
specified engine oil. Engine oil additives/supplements should not be used to enhance engine oil
performance. Engine oil additives/supplements should not be used to extend engine oil change
intervals. No additive is known to be safe for engine durability and can degrade emission
components. Additives can contain undesirable materials that harm the long term durability of
engines by:
- Doubling the level of phosphorus in the engine oil. The ILSAC (International Lubricant Standard
Approval Committee) GF-2 and GF-3 standards require that engine oil contain no more than 0.10%
phosphorus to protect the vehicles emissions performance. Addition of engine oil
additives/supplements can poison, from the added sulfur and phosphorus, catalysts and hinder
efforts to guarantee emissions performance to 80,000 miles.
- Altering the viscosity characteristics of the engine oil so that it no longer meets the requirements
of the specified viscosity grade.
- Creating potential for an undesirable additive compatibility interaction in the engine crankcase.
Generally it is not desirable to mix additive packages from different suppliers in the crankcase;
there have been reports of low temperature engine failures caused by additive package
incompatibility with such mixtures.

Engine Oil: Description and Operation Engine Oil - Flexible Fuel Engines
FLEXIBLE FUEL ENGINE OIL
This information is for Flexible Fuel Vehicles (FFV) only. These vehicles can be identified by the
unique Fuel Filler Door Label that states Ethanol (E-85) or Unleaded Gasoline Only. This
information only covers those subjects that are unique to these vehicles.
ETHANOL FUEL (E-85)
E-85 is a mixture of approximately 85% fuel ethanol and 15% unleaded gasoline.
WARNING: Ethanol vapors are extremely flammable and could cause serious personal injury.
Never have any smoking materials lit in or near the vehicle when removing the fuel filler tube cap
(gas cap) or filling the tank. Do not use E-85 as a cleaning agent and never use it near an open
flame.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS
The vehicle will operate on both unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87, or E-85 fuel, or any
mixture of these two.
For best results, a refueling pattern that alternates between E-85 and unleaded gasoline should be
avoided. When you do switch fuels, it is recommended that
- you do not switch when the fuel gauge indicates less than 1/4 full
- you do not add less than 5 gallons when refueling
- you operate the vehicle immediately after refueling for a period of at least 5 minutes
Observing these precautions will avoid possible hard starting and/or significant deterioration in
driveability during warm up.
FFV STARTING
The characteristics of E-85 fuel make it unsuitable for use when ambient temperatures fall below
-18°C (0°F). In the range of -18°C (0°F) to 0°C (32°F), you may experience an increase in the time
it takes for your engine to start, and a deterioration in driveability (sags and/or hesitations) until the
engine is fully warmed up.
Engine Operating on E-85 Fuel
If vehicle operates on E-85 fuel either full or part-time, use only Mopar(R) Flexible Fuel 5W-30
engine oil or an equivalent that meets DaimlerChrysler Standard MS-9214. Equivalent commercial
Flexible Fuel engine oils may be labeled as Multi-Fuel, Variable Fuel, Flexible Fuel, etc. These
engine oils may be satisfactory if they meet the DaimlerChrysler Standard.
SAE 5W-30 engine oil is preferred for use in Flexible Fuel engines.
CAUTION: If Flexible Fuel engine oil is not used when using E-85 fuel, engine wear or damage
may result.
CRUISING RANGE
Because E-85 fuel contains less energy per gallon than gasoline, you will experience an increase
in fuel consumption. You can expect your MPG and your driving range to decrease by about 30%
compared to gasoline operation.

Engine Oil: Service and Repair
STANDARD PROCEDURE - ENGINE OIL SERVICE
The engine oil level indicator (2) is located at the right rear of the engine on the 4.7L engines.
CRANKCASE OIL LEVEL INSPECTION
CAUTION: Do not overfill crankcase with engine oil, pressure loss or oil foaming can result.
Inspect engine oil level approximately every 800 kilometers (500 miles). Unless the engine has
exhibited loss of oil pressure, run the engine for about five minutes before checking oil level.
Checking engine oil level on a cold engine is not accurate.
To ensure proper lubrication of an engine, the engine oil must be maintained at an acceptable
level. The acceptable levels are indicated between the ADD and SAFE marks on the engine oil
dipstick.
1. Position vehicle on level surface. 2. With engine OFF, allow approximately ten minutes for oil to
settle to bottom of crankcase, remove engine oil dipstick. 3. Wipe dipstick clean. 4. Install dipstick
and verify it is seated in the tube. 5. Remove dipstick, with handle held above the tip, take oil level
reading. 6. Add oil only if level is below the ADD mark on dipstick.
ENGINE OIL CHANGE
Change engine oil at mileage and time intervals described in Maintenance Schedules.
Run engine until achieving normal operating temperature.
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface and turn engine off. 2. Hoist and support vehicle on safety
stands. 3. Remove oil fill cap. 4. Place a suitable drain pan under crankcase drain. 5. Remove
drain plug from crankcase and allow oil to drain into pan. Inspect drain plug threads for stretching
or other damage. Replace drain plug if
damaged.
6. Install drain plug in crankcase. 7. Lower vehicle and fill crankcase with specified type and
amount of engine oil. 8. Install oil fill cap. 9. Start engine and inspect for leaks.
10. Stop engine and inspect oil level.
NOTE: Care should be exercised when disposing used engine oil after it has been drained from a
vehicle engine.

A/C REFRIGERANT
The refrigerant used in this air conditioning system is a HydroFluoroCarbon (HFC), type R-134a.
Unlike R-12, which is a ChloroFluoroCarbon (CFC), R-134a refrigerant does not contain
ozone-depleting chlorine. R-134a refrigerant is a non-toxic, non-flammable, clear and colorless
liquefied gas.
CAUTION: R-134a refrigerant is not compatible with R-12 refrigerant in an A/C system. Even a
small amount of R-12 refrigerant added to an R-134a refrigerant system will cause A/C compressor
failure.
The A/C refrigerant system is filled-for-life at the factory and requires no regular maintenance.
Although not required at specific intervals, the charge level should be checked if system
performance deteriorates or if a noise or leak is suspected See: Heating and Air
Conditioning/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/Refrigerant
System Leaks .

DESCRIPTION
The refrigerant used in this air conditioning system is a HydroFluoroCarbon (HFC), type R-134a.
Unlike R-12, which is a ChloroFluoroCarbon (CFC), R-134a refrigerant does not contain
ozone-depleting chlorine. R-134a refrigerant is a non-toxic, non-flammable, clear, and colorless

Even though R-134a does not contain chlorine, it must be reclaimed and recycled just like
CFC-type refrigerants. This is because R-134a is a greenhouse gas and can contribute to global
warming See: Heating and Air Conditioning/Service and Repair/Refrigerant System Recovery .

Refrigerant: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
R-134a refrigerant is not compatible with R-12 refrigerant in an A/C system. Even a small amount
of R-12 refrigerant added to an R-134a refrigerant system will cause A/C compressor failure,
refrigerant oil sludge or poor A/C system performance. In addition, the polyalkylene glycol (PAG)
synthetic refrigerant oils used in an R-134a refrigerant system are not compatible with the
mineral-based refrigerant oils used in an R-12 refrigerant system.
R-134a refrigerant system service ports, service tool couplers and refrigerant dispensing bottles
have all been designed with unique fittings to ensure that an R-134a refrigerant system is not
accidentally contaminated with the wrong refrigerant (R-12). There are also labels posted in the
engine compartment of the vehicle and on the A/C compressor to identify that the A/C system is
equipped with R-134a refrigerant.

Refrigerant: Testing and Inspection
REFRIGERANT SYSTEM LEAKS
WARNING: R-134a service equipment or vehicle A/C system should not be pressure tested or leak
tested with compressed air. Mixture of air and R-134a can be combustible at elevated pressures.
These mixtures are potentially dangerous and may result in fire or explosion causing property
damage and serious or fatal injury. Avoid breathing A/C refrigerant and lubricant vapor or mist.
Exposure may irritate eyes, nose and throat. Use only approved service equipment meeting SAE
requirements to discharge an R-134a system. If accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work
area before resuming service.
NOTE: If the A/C refrigerant system charge is empty or low, a leak in the A/C system is likely.
Visually inspect all A/C lines, fittings and components for an oily residue. Oil residue can be an
indicator of an A/C system leak location.
NOTE: The only way to correctly determine if the refrigerant system is fully charged with R-134a is
to completely evacuate and recharge the A/C system.
Connect a suitable manifold gauge set and determine if the static A/C system pressure is above or
below 345 kPa (50 psi) See: Heating and Air Conditioning/Tools and Equipment/Refrigerant
System Service Equipment . If less than 345 kPa (50 psi), proceed to SYSTEM EMPTY. If greater
than 345 kPa (50 psi), go to SYSTEM LOW.
SYSTEM EMPTY
1. Evacuate the refrigerant system to the lowest degree of vacuum possible (approximately -88 kPa
(- 26 in. Hg) or greater vacuum) See: Heating
and Air Conditioning/Service and Repair/Refrigerant System Evacuate . Determine if the system
holds a vacuum for 15 minutes. If vacuum is held, a leak is probably not present. If system will not
maintain vacuum level, proceed to STEP 2.
2. Prepare and dispense 0.284 kilograms (10 ounces) of R-134a refrigerant into the evacuated
refrigerant system See: Heating and Air
Conditioning/Service and Repair/Refrigerant System Charge and proceed to STEP 1 of the System
Low procedure.
SYSTEM LOW
3. Position the vehicle in a wind-free work area. This will aid in detecting small leaks. 4. Operate
the heating-A/C system with the engine at idle under the following conditions for at least 5 minutes.
- Doors or windows open
- Transmission in Park or Neutral with the parking brake set (depending on application)
- A/C-heater controls set to outside air, full cool, panel mode, high blower and with A/C compressor
engaged
CAUTION: A leak detector only designed for R-12 refrigerant will not detect leaks in an R-134a
refrigerant system.
5. Shut the vehicle Off and wait 2-7 minutes. Then use an electronic leak detector that is designed
to detect R-134a refrigerant and search for leaks.
Fittings, lines or components that appear to be oily usually indicate a refrigerant leak. To inspect
the A/C evaporator for leaks, insert the leak detector probe into the drain tube opening or an air
outlet. A dye for R-134a is available to aid in leak detection. Use only DaimlerChrysler approved
refrigerant dye.

NOTE: Special effort must be used to prevent moisture from entering the A/C system oil. Moisture
in the oil is very difficult to remove and will cause a reliability problem with the A/C compressor.
If an A/C compressor designed to use R-134a refrigerant is left open to the atmosphere for an
extended period of time. It is recommended that the refrigerant oil be drained and replaced with
new oil or a new A/C compressor be used. This will eliminate the possibility of contaminating the
refrigerant system.
If the refrigerant system has been open to the atmosphere, it must be evacuated before the system
can be filled. Moisture and air mixed with the refrigerant will raise the compressor head pressure
above acceptable operating levels. This will reduce the performance of the A/C system and
damage the A/C compressor. Moisture will boil at near room temperature when exposed to
vacuum. To evacuate the refrigerant system:
NOTE: When connecting the service equipment coupling to the line fitting, verify that the valve of
the coupling is fully closed. This will reduce the amount of effort required to make the connection.
1. Recover the refrigerant system See: Heating and Air Conditioning/Service and
Repair/Refrigerant System Recovery . 2. Connect a suitable charging station, refrigerant recovery
machine or a manifold gauge set with vacuum pump and refrigerant recovery equipment
See: Heating and Air Conditioning/Tools and Equipment/Refrigerant System Service Equipment .
3. Open the suction and discharge valves and start the vacuum pump. The vacuum pump should
run a minimum of 45 minutes prior to charge to
eliminate all moisture in system. When the suction gauge reads to the lowest degree of vacuum
possible (approximately -88 kPa (- 26 in. Hg) or greater) for 30 minutes, close all valves and turn
off vacuum pump. If the system fails to reach specified vacuum, the refrigerant system likely has a
leak that must be corrected. If the refrigerant system maintains specified vacuum for at least 30
minutes, start the vacuum pump, open the suction and discharge valves. Then allow the system to
evacuate an additional 10 minutes.
4. Close all valves. Turn off and disconnect the vacuum pump. 5. Charge the refrigerant system
See: Heating and Air Conditioning/Service and Repair/Refrigerant System Charge .

Refrigerant Oil: Capacity Specifications
REFRIGERANT OIL LEVEL
When an A/C system is assembled at the factory, all components except the A/C compressor are
refrigerant oil free. After the refrigerant system has been charged and operated, the refrigerant oil
in the A/C compressor is dispersed throughout the refrigerant system. The accumulator, A/C
evaporator, A/C condenser and the A/C compressor will each retain a significant amount of the
needed refrigerant oil.
It is important to have the correct amount of refrigerant oil in the A/C system. This ensures proper
lubrication of the A/C compressor. Too little oil will result in damage to the A/C compressor, while
too much oil will reduce the cooling capacity of the A/C system and consequently result in higher
discharge air temperatures.
CAUTION: The refrigerant oil in the R-134a A/C system is unique depending on the A/C
compressor used. Use only PAG oils that are designed to work with R-134a refrigerant and the A/C
compressor in the vehicle. Always refer to the A/C Underhood Specification Label for the correct oil
designation. The oil container should be kept tightly capped until it is ready for use and then tightly
capped after use to prevent contamination from dirt and moisture. Refrigerant oil will quickly absorb
any moisture it comes in contact with, therefore, special effort must be used to keep all R-134a
system components moisture-free. Moisture in the refrigerant oil is very difficult to remove and will
cause a reliability problem with the A/C compressor.
NOTE: Most reclaim/recycling equipment will measure the lubricant being removed during
recovery. This amount of lubricant should be added back into the system.
It will not be necessary to check the oil level in the A/C compressor or to add oil, unless there has
been an oil loss. An oil loss may occur due to a rupture or leak from a refrigerant line, a connector
fitting, a component, or a component seal. If a leak occurs, add 30 milliliters (1 fluid ounce) of
refrigerant oil to the refrigerant system after the repair has been made. Refrigerant oil loss will be
evident at the leak point by the presence of a wet, shiny surface around the leak.
Refrigerant oil must be added when an A/C accumulator, A/C evaporator or A/C condenser is
replaced. See the Refrigerant Oil Capacities chart.
The refrigerant oil level in a new A/C compressor must first be adjusted prior to compressor
installation (refer to COMPRESSOR OIL DRAIN PROCEDURE).
COMPRESSOR OIL DRAIN PROCEDURE
CAUTION: Be certain to adjust the refrigerant system oil level when replacing an A/C compressor.
Failure to properly drain and measure the refrigerant oil from the A/C compressor can prevent the
A/C system from operating as designed and cause serious compressor damage.
The A/C compressor is filled with refrigerant oil from the factory. Use the following procedure to
drain and measure refrigerant oil from the A/C compressor.
1. Drain all of the refrigerant oil from the old A/C compressor into a clean measured container. 2.
Drain all of the refrigerant oil from the new A/C compressor into a clean measured container. 3.
Refill the new A/C compressor with the same amount of refrigerant oil that was drained out of the
old compressor. Use only clean refrigerant oil of
the type recommended for the A/C compressor in the vehicle.
4. Install the new A/C compressor onto the engine See: Heating and Air Conditioning/Compressor

Refrigerant Oil: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The refrigerant oil used in R-134a refrigerant systems is a synthetic-based, polyalkylene glycol
(PAG), wax-free lubricant. Mineral-based R-12 refrigerant oils are not compatible with PAG oils,
and should never be introduced to an R-134a refrigerant system.
There are different PAG oils available, and each contains a different additive package. Use only
refrigerant oil of the same type as recommended to service the refrigerant system (always refer to
the specification tag included with the replacement A/C compressor or the A/C Underhood
Specification Label located in the engine compartment).
The Denso 10S17 A/C compressor used in this vehicle when equipped with the 3.7L, 4.7L or 5.7L
engine is designed to use ND-8 PAG refrigerant oil. Use only this type of refrigerant oil when
servicing the A/C compressor for these engines.
The Visteon HS-18 A/C compressor used in this vehicle when equipped with 5.9L or 6.7L diesel
engine is designed to use VC-46 PAG refrigerant oil. Use only this type of refrigerant oil when
servicing this A/C compressor.

Refrigerant Oil: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
After performing any refrigerant recovery or recycling operation, always replenish the refrigerant
system with the same amount of the recommended refrigerant oil as was removed. Too little
refrigerant oil can cause A/C compressor damage, and too much can reduce A/C system
performance.
PAG refrigerant oil is more hygroscopic than mineral oil, and will absorb any moisture it comes into
contact with, even moisture in the air. The PAG oil container should always be kept tightly capped
until it is ready to be used. After use, recap the oil container immediately to prevent moisture
contamination.

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
All switches, components, and modules are shown in the at rest position with the doors closed and
the key removed from the ignition.
Components are shown two ways. A solid line around a component indicates that the component is
complete. A dashed line around the component indicates that the component is being shown is not
complete. Incomplete components have a reference number to indicate the page where the
component is shown complete.
It is important to realize that no attempt is made on the diagrams to represent components and
wiring as they appear on the vehicle. For example, a short piece of wire is treated the same as a
long one. In addition, switches and other components are shown as simply as possible, with regard
to function only.

Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- Ohmmeter - Used to check the resistance between two points of a circuit. Low or no resistance in
a circuit means good continuity.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking resistance in these circuits use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
In addition, make sure the power is disconnected from the circuit. Circuits that are powered up by
the vehicle's electrical system can cause damage to the equipment and provide false readings.
Dodge Ram 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (Truck V8-4.7L (2008))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Fuses and Circuit Breakers > Fuse > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2367
- Probing Tools - These tools are used for probing terminals in connectors. Select the proper size
tool from Special Tool Package 6807, and insert the probing end (2) into the terminal being tested.
Use the other end of the tool (1) to insert the meter probe.
INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent electrical problems are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. It is also
possible for a sticking component or relay to cause a problem. Before condemning a component or
wiring assembly, check the following items.
- Connectors are fully seated
- Spread terminals, or terminal push out
- Terminals in the wiring assembly are fully seated into the connector/component and locked into
position
- Dirt or corrosion on the terminals. Any amount of corrosion or dirt could cause an intermittent
problem
- Damaged connector/component casing exposing the item to dirt or moisture
- Wire insulation that has rubbed through causing a short to ground
- Some or all of the wiring strands broken inside of the insulation
- Wiring broken inside of the insulation
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are six steps which can aid in the procedure. The
steps are listed and explained below. Always check for non-factory items added to the vehicle
before doing any diagnosis. If the vehicle is equipped with these items, disconnect them to verify
these add-on items are not the cause of the problem.
1. Verify the problem. 2. Verify any related symptoms. Do this by performing operational checks on
components that are in the same circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams. 3. Analyze the symptoms.
Use the wiring diagrams to determine what the circuit is doing, where the problem most likely is
occurring and where the
diagnosis will continue.
4. Isolate the problem area. 5. Repair the problem area. 6. Verify the proper operation. For this
step, check for proper operation of all items on the repaired circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams.

Fuse: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
All vehicles are equipped with an Ignition-Off Draw (IOD) fuse that is disconnected within the
Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) when the vehicle is shipped from the factory. Dealer
personnel are to reconnect the IOD fuse in the TIPM as part of the new vehicle preparation
procedures and then disconnect it again until new vehicle delivery to the customer.
A laser printed fuse layout map is integral to the TIPM cover to ensure proper fuse identification.
The IOD fuse is a 20 ampere mini blade-type fuse. The fuse is secured within a black molded
plastic fuse holder and puller unit that serves both as a tool for disconnecting and reconnecting the
fuse in the TIPM cavity, and as a fuse holder that conveniently stores the fuse in the same cavity
after it has been disconnected.

Fuse: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The term Ignition-Off Draw (IOD) identifies a normal condition where power is being drained from
the battery with the ignition switch in the Off position. The IOD fuse feeds the memory and sleep
mode functions for some of the electronic modules in the vehicle as well as various other
accessories that require battery current when the ignition switch is in the Off position. The only
reason the IOD fuse is disconnected is to reduce the normal IOD of the vehicle electrical system
during new vehicle transportation and pre-delivery storage to reduce battery depletion, while still
allowing vehicle operation so that the vehicle can be loaded, unloaded and moved as needed by
both vehicle transportation company and dealer personnel.
The IOD fuse is disconnected from Integrated Power Module (IPM) fuse cavity # 51 when the
vehicle is shipped from the assembly plant. Dealer personnel must reconnect the IOD fuse when
the vehicle is being prepared for delivery in order to restore full electrical system operation. Once
the vehicle is prepared for delivery, the IOD function of this fuse becomes transparent and the fuse
that has been assigned the IOD designation becomes only another Fused B(+) circuit fuse.
The IOD fuse can be used by the vehicle owner as a convenient means of reducing battery
depletion when a vehicle is to be stored for periods not to exceed about thirty days. However, it
must be remembered that disconnecting the IOD fuse will not eliminate IOD, but only reduce this
normal condition. If a vehicle will be stored for more than about thirty days, the battery negative
cable should be disconnected to eliminate normal IOD; and, the battery should be tested and
recharged at regular intervals during the vehicle storage period to prevent the battery from
becoming discharged or damaged.

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
All switches, components, and modules are shown in the at rest position with the doors closed and
the key removed from the ignition.
Components are shown two ways. A solid line around a component indicates that the component is
complete. A dashed line around the component indicates that the component is being shown is not
complete. Incomplete components have a reference number to indicate the page where the
component is shown complete.
It is important to realize that no attempt is made on the diagrams to represent components and
wiring as they appear on the vehicle. For example, a short piece of wire is treated the same as a
long one. In addition, switches and other components are shown as simply as possible, with regard
to function only.

Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- Ohmmeter - Used to check the resistance between two points of a circuit. Low or no resistance in
a circuit means good continuity.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking resistance in these circuits use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
In addition, make sure the power is disconnected from the circuit. Circuits that are powered up by
the vehicle's electrical system can cause damage to the equipment and provide false readings.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Fuses and Circuit Breakers > Fuse Block > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2396
- Probing Tools - These tools are used for probing terminals in connectors. Select the proper size
tool from Special Tool Package 6807, and insert the probing end (2) into the terminal being tested.
Use the other end of the tool (1) to insert the meter probe.
INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent electrical problems are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. It is also
possible for a sticking component or relay to cause a problem. Before condemning a component or
wiring assembly, check the following items.
- Connectors are fully seated
- Spread terminals, or terminal push out
- Terminals in the wiring assembly are fully seated into the connector/component and locked into
position
- Dirt or corrosion on the terminals. Any amount of corrosion or dirt could cause an intermittent
problem
- Damaged connector/component casing exposing the item to dirt or moisture
- Wire insulation that has rubbed through causing a short to ground
- Some or all of the wiring strands broken inside of the insulation
- Wiring broken inside of the insulation
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are six steps which can aid in the procedure. The
steps are listed and explained below. Always check for non-factory items added to the vehicle
before doing any diagnosis. If the vehicle is equipped with these items, disconnect them to verify
these add-on items are not the cause of the problem.
1. Verify the problem. 2. Verify any related symptoms. Do this by performing operational checks on
components that are in the same circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams. 3. Analyze the symptoms.
Use the wiring diagrams to determine what the circuit is doing, where the problem most likely is
occurring and where the
diagnosis will continue.
4. Isolate the problem area. 5. Repair the problem area. 6. Verify the proper operation. For this
step, check for proper operation of all items on the repaired circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams.

Low Tire Pressure Indicator: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
A Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. However,
on vehicles not equipped with the optional TPM, this indicator is electronically disabled. This
indicator is located in the lower portion of the tachometer dial face in the instrument cluster overlay.
The TPM indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of an icon that represents a cross-section of a
tire with a centered exclamation point in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster overlay. The
dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not
illuminated. An amber Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the
overlay causes the indicator to appear in amber through the translucent outer layer of the overlay
when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the instrument cluster
electronic circuit board.
The TPM indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Low Tire Pressure Indicator: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator of the status
of the TPM system. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument cluster circuit
board based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received by the cluster from the
Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The TPM indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument cluster
logic circuit, and that logic will only allow this indicator to operate when the instrument cluster
receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the
LED will always be OFF when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED
only illuminates when it is provide a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The
instrument cluster will turn ON the TPM indicator for the following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, the SKREEM sends an
electronic TPM indicator lamp-ON message to the cluster to illuminate the TPM indicator for about
three seconds as a bulb test.
- TPM Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic TPM indicator
lamp-ON message from the SKREEM, the TPM indicator will be illuminated. The indicator can be
flashed ON and OFF, or illuminated solid, as dictated by the SKREEM message. The indicator
remains illuminated until the cluster receives a lamp-OFF message from the SKREEM or until the
ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Communication Error - If the cluster receives no TPM lamp-ON or lamp-OFF messages from the
SKREEM for six consecutive seconds, the TPM indicator is illuminated by the instrument cluster.
The indicator remains controlled and illuminated by the cluster until a valid lamp-ON or lamp-OFF
message is received from the SKREEM.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the TPM indicator will be
turned ON, then OFF again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of
the LED and the cluster control circuitry.
The SKREEM performs a self-test each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position to
decide whether the TPM system is in good operating condition and whether the tire inflation
pressures are too high or too low. The SKREEM then sends the proper lamp-ON or lamp-OFF
message to the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab
Compartment Node/CCN). If the instrument cluster turns ON the TPM indicator after the bulb test, it
indicates that the inflation pressure of a tire is too low or that a malfunction has occurred and the
TPM system is ineffective.
For proper diagnosis of the TPM system, the SKREEM, the EMIC, the CAN data bus or the
electronic communication related to TPM indicator operation a diagnostic scan tool is required.
Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Malfunction Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
A Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. This indicator
is located near the lower edge of the instrument cluster, between the tachometer and the
speedometer.
The MIL consists of a stencil-like cutout of the International Control and Display Symbol icon for
Engine in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay
prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated. An amber Light Emitting
Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the overlay causes the indicator to appear in
amber through the translucent outer layer of the overlay when it is illuminated from behind by the
LED, which is soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
The MIL is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Malfunction Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) on vehicles with a gasoline engine, or the Engine Control
Module (ECM) on vehicles with a diesel engine has recorded a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for
an On-Board Diagnostics II (OBDII) emissions-related circuit or component malfunction. The MIL is
controlled by a transistor on the instrument cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming
and electronic messages received by the cluster from the PCM or ECM over the Controller Area
Network (CAN) data bus.
The MIL Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument cluster logic circuit,
and that logic will only allow this indicator to operate when the instrument cluster receives a battery
current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the LED will always be
OFF when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED only illuminates
when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The instrument cluster will
turn ON the MIL for the following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position the indicator is illuminated
for about two seconds as a bulb test. The entire bulb test is a function of the PCM or ECM.
- MIL Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic MIL lamp-ON message
from the PCM or ECM, the indicator will be illuminated. The indicator can be flashed ON and OFF,
or illuminated solid, as dictated by the PCM or ECM message. For some DTCs, if a problem does
not recur, the PCM or ECM will send a lamp-OFF message automatically. Other DTCs may require
that a fault be repaired and the PCM or ECM be reset before a lamp-OFF message will be sent.
- Communication Error - If the cluster receives no lamp-ON or lamp-OFF messages from the PCM
or ECM for about 10 seconds, the MIL is illuminated by the instrument cluster to indicate a loss of
bus communication. The indicator remains controlled and illuminated by the cluster until a valid
message is received from the PCM or ECM.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the MIL indicator will be
turned ON during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the LED and the
cluster control circuitry.
The PCM or ECM continually monitors the fuel and emissions system circuits and sensors to
decide whether the system is in good operating condition. The PCM or ECM then sends the proper
lamp-ON or lamp-OFF message to the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known
as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN). If the EMIC turns ON the MIL after the bulb test, it may
indicate that a malfunction has occurred and that the fuel and emissions systems may require
service.
For proper diagnosis of the fuel and emissions systems, the PCM, the ECM, the EMIC, the CAN
data bus or the electronic communication related to MIL operation a diagnostic scan tool is
required.

NOTE:
This bulletin applies to all vehicles equipped with a gasoline engine.
DISCUSSION:
Customer may report that the vehicle is hard to fill with fuel or that the fuel pump nozzle shuts off
repeatedly while trying to fill vehicle.
This customer complaint can occur due to a number of different causes. The fuel tank is the least
likely cause of this condition. The following Diagnostic procedure can be used to diagnose the
issues.
DIAGNOSIS:
1. Is the vehicle a LX/LE/LC/L2?
a. Yes >> proceed to Step # 2
b. No >> proceed to Step # 4
2. Idle the vehicle 60 to 90 seconds upon stopping.
3. Does tank refill properly?
a. No >> proceed to Step # 4
b. Yes >> Inform the customer to idle the vehicle for 60 to 90 seconds upon stopping if vehicle was
driven aggressively. This is due to the fact that
on the LX/LE/LC/L2 the fuel tank is a unique saddle tank design and needs 30 to 60 seconds while
the engine is running to level the fuel in both half's of the fuel tank. Allowing the vehicle to idle for
this amount of time will let the fuel pump transfer fuel to the left side tank, opening the control valve
and allowing normal fuel filling.
4. Disconnect the vapor recirculation tube at the fuel tank.
5. Attempt to refill fuel tank.
6. Does tank refill properly?
a. Yes >> Proceed to Step # 7

Oil Change Reminder Lamp: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
A change oil indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. However, on vehicles
manufactured for export markets or vehicles equipped with the optional diesel engine, this indicator
is electronically disabled. The change oil indication appears within the odometer Vacuum
Fluorescent Display (VFD) unit. The change oil indicator consists of cycling textual CHAngE and
OIL messages which appear in place of the odometer information in the odometer display.
The odometer VFD is soldered onto the cluster electronic circuit board, and is visible through a
window with a smoked clear lens located on the lower edge of the speedometer gauge dial face of
the cluster overlay. The dark lens over the VFD prevents it from being clearly visible when it is not
illuminated. The change oil textual messages appear in the same blue-green color and at the same
lighting level as the odometer information when they are illuminated by the instrument cluster
electronic circuit board.
The change oil indicator is serviced as a unit with the VFD in the instrument cluster.

Oil Change Reminder Lamp: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The change oil indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when a duty-cycle algorithm
contained within the software of the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) determines that a
recommended oil change interval has been attained. This indicator is controlled by the instrument
cluster logic circuit based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received over the
Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus from the PCM.
The change oil indicator function of the odometer Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) unit is
completely controlled by the instrument cluster logic circuit, and that logic will only allow this
indicator to operate when the instrument cluster receives a battery current input on the fused
ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the odometer VFD change oil indication will
always be OFF when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The instrument
cluster will turn ON the change oil indicator for the following reasons:
- Change Oil Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON
position and the cluster receives an electronic change oil indicator lamp-ON message from the
PCM indicating that a duty-cycle based recommended oil change interval has been attained, the
change oil indicator will be illuminated for about three seconds, until the trip odometer reset switch
button is depressed, or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Change Oil Indicator Reset Procedure - Once an engine oil change has been completed, the
PCM duty cycle counters can be reset using the following procedure. Turn the ignition switch to the
ON position, but DO NOT start the engine. Slowly depress and release the accelerator pedal fully
three times within ten seconds. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position. If the change oil
indicator illuminates the next time the engine is started, repeat this procedure.
The PCM continually monitors numerous sensor inputs to determine the duty-cycles to which the
engine is being subjected. A pre-programmed algorithm within the PCM then determines when to
send the proper lamp-ON or lamp-OFF message to the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster
(EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN).
For proper diagnosis of the change oil indicator, the PCM, the EMIC, the CAN data bus or the
electronic communication related to change oil indicator operation a diagnostic scan tool is
required. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

OIL CHANGE INDICATOR - RESET
To reset the "Oil Change Required" indicator (after performing the scheduled maintenance) refer to
the following procedure:
- 1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position (Do not start engine).
- 2. Fully depress the accelerator pedal slowly three times within 10 seconds.
- 3. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF/LOCK position.
NOTE: If the "Oil Change Required" indicator message illuminates when you start the vehicle, the
indicator did not reset. If necessary repeat this procedure.

Tire Pressure Monitor Receiver / Transponder: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
A transponder (2), also known as a trigger module, is located in the front wheel wells (behind the
wheelhouse splash shields) of the vehicle to provide the WCM/SKREEM with the location of the
front tire pressure sensors on the vehicle.

Tire Pressure Monitor Receiver / Transponder: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The Wireless Control Module (WCM), commonly referred to as the Sentry Key Remote Entry
Module (SKREEM), uses transponders (trigger modules) located in the front wheel wells on the
vehicle to provide it with the location of the front tire pressure sensors on the vehicle. Like the base
system, the WCM receives RF signals from all four rotating wheel speed sensors. When the WCM
needs to know which sensor is located at a particular location on the vehicle, it directs the
transponder at that location to send out a low frequency signal to excite the nearby sensor. The
WCM then receives that excited signal and knows where that sensor is located. This auto-locating
process only happens in the first 10 minutes of any WCM cycle while traveling at speeds above 20
mph (32 km/h) (Each WCM cycle ends when the vehicle has been shut off for a time period of
approximately 20 minutes or longer). If the TPMS fails to localize, the TPM indicator lamp will flash
on/off for 75 seconds, and remain on solid.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Service Precautions
CAUTION
CAUTION: The use of tire sealants is not recommended for vehicles equipped with the Tire
Pressure Monitoring system. Tire sealants may clog tire pressure sensors.
CAUTION: Tire pressure sensor valve stem caps and cores are specially designed for the sensors.
Due to risk of corrosion, do not use a standard valve stem cap or core in a tire pressure sensor in
place of the original equipment style sensor cap and core.
CAUTION: It is not recommended to install a tire pressure sensor in an aftermarket wheel. Use tire
pressure sensors in original style factory wheels only.
CAUTION: Any time a sensor is to be reinstalled in a wheel, a new seal, cap and valve core must
be installed on the stem to ensure air tight sealing.
NOTE: TPM thresholds have been established for the original tire size equipped on the vehicle.
Use original size tires only to maintain system accuracy.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
On vehicles equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring System, one tire pressure sensor (6) is
mounted to each wheel in place of the traditional tire valve stem. Each sensor has an internal
battery that lasts up to 10 years. The battery is not serviceable. At the time of battery failure, the
sensor (6) must be replaced. The TPM system operates on a 315 MHz radio frequency. The 315
MHz sensors can be easily identified by a GREEN sensor body, with (an triangle insignia) (1). The
433 MHz sensors can be identified by a grey sensor body with an oval insignia. For car
applications, there is a 315 MHz TPM sensor with a Black sensor body with an oval insignia.
NOTE: This vehicle uses the 315 MHz TPM sensor with the GREEN sensor body. Although 315
MHz and 433 MHz sensors are identical in size and shape, they are not interchangeable. Always
make sure the correct color sensor is being used. A RKE-TPM Analyzer can be used to determine
the sensor's frequency without having to dismount the tire.
The TPM sensors are designed for original style factory wheels. It is not recommended to install a
tire pressure sensor in an aftermarket wheel. (This could cause sealing and system performance
issues.)
The serviceable components of the tire pressure sensor are:
- Sensor-To-Wheel Seal (4)
- Valve Stem Cap (2)
- Valve Stem Core
- Valve Stem Nut (3)
The valve stem caps and cores used are specifically designed for the tire pressure monitoring
sensors. Although similar to standard valve stem caps and cores, they are different. The valve
stem cap has a special seal inside to keep moisture and corrosion out. The valve stem core has a
special nickel coating to protect from corrosion.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
CAUTION: The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS
pressures have been established for the tire size equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable system
operation or sensor damage may result when using replacement equipment that is not of the same
size, type, and/or style. After-market wheels can cause sensor damage. Do not use aftermarket tire
sealants or balance beads if your vehicle is equipped with a TPMS, as damage to the sensors may
result.
CAUTION: After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure always reinstall the valve stem cap. This
will prevent moisture and dirt from entering the valve stem, which could damage the Tire Pressure
Monitoring Sensor.
CAUTION: Tire pressure sensor valve stem caps and cores are specially designed for the sensors.
Due to risk of corrosion, do not use a standard valve stem cap or core in a tire pressure sensor in
place of the original equipment style sensor cap and core.
CAUTION: Any time a sensor is to be reinstalled in a wheel, a new seal, nut, cap and valve core
must be installed on the stem to ensure air tight sealing.
NOTE: TPM thresholds have been established for the original tire size equipped on the vehicle.
Use original size tires only to maintain system accuracy.
The battery operated tire pressure sensor is both a transmitter and a receiver. The TPM sensor can
be forced to transmit if using a special tool such as a TPM-RKE Analyzer, or from a transponder.
The TPM-RKE Analyzer has the ability to change the sensor mode and to diagnose a faulty TPM
sensor. Using a TPM-RKE Analyzer can take up to a minute to force a transmission from a sensor.
The High Pressure TPM sensor can be in one of the following modes:
Sleep Mode - A new TPM sensor will be in this mode. If placed on the vehicle as a road tire, the
TPM sensor will transmit once every 20 seconds when the vehicle is driven at speeds over 15 mph
(24 km/h). If the vehicle is not moving, the sensor will only transmit on a pressure change greater
then 2 psi (13.8 kPA). Driving the vehicle continuously at speeds over 15 mph (24 km/h) for more
then 4 minutes will change the sensor state into 30 BLOCK MODE. The TPM sensor will not return
to SLEEP MODE. Now, if the vehicle has been stopped for 20 minutes, the TPM sensor state will
change to PARK MODE.
- Park Mode - This is the correct mode when the vehicle is not moving. The sensor will transmit
once every 13 hours to update the WCM, or will transmit on a 2 psi (13.8 kPA) delta change. The
sensors will internally take a measurement of the tire pressure every minute to determine a change
in tire pressure.
- 30 Block Mode - If the vehicle has not been moving for more then 20 minutes, or if the sensor's
mode was forced to Park Mode using a TPM-RKE Analyzer, the sensor's operating mode will
transition from PARK MODE to 30 BLOCK MODE once the vehicle is driven over 15 mph. In this
mode, the sensor will transmit once every 15 seconds when the vehicle is driven at speeds over 15
mph (24 km/h) for the first 30 transmissions. After 8 minutes of continuous driving above 15 mph
(24 km/h), the TPM sensor will change to DRIVE MODE.
Drive Mode - In this mode, the sensor will transmit once every minute when the vehicle is driven at
speeds over 15 mph (24 km/h). At any time that the vehicle speed drops below 15mph, the sensor
will not transmit. The sensor mode will still be in drive mode when the sensor reaches speeds over
15 mph (24 km/h). If the vehicle has been stationary for more then 20 minutes, the TPM sensor will
change to PARK MODE.
Each sensor's (transmitter) broadcast is uniquely coded so that the wireless control module (WCM)
can monitor the state of each of the sensors on the four rotating road wheels. The WCM can
automatically learn and store the sensor's ID while driving "within 10 minutes continuously above
15 m.p.h. (24 Km/h)" after a sensor has been replaced. The vehicle must be stationary for more
then 20 minutes in order to initiate the learning sequence.
The sensor IDs can also be programmed using the TPM-RKE Analyzer Tool. Scan each TPM
sensor at each road wheel, and store each Sensor ID in the correct location. (LEFT FRONT, LEFT
REAR, RIGHT FRONT, and RIGHT REAR) Connect the TPM-RKE Analyzer Tool to the Scan Tool.
Then follow the programming steps outlined in the diagnostic Scan Tool for "Program Tire Pressure
Sensor ID w/ TPM Tool" under "MISC" for the "WCM/WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE".

Tire Pressure Sensor: Testing and Inspection
TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR
NOTE: Tire pressure may increase from 2 to 6 psi (14 to 41 kPa) during normal driving conditions.
Do NOT reduce this normal pressure build up.
NOTE: Tire pressure will vary with temperature by about 1 psi (6.9 kPa) for every 12 F (6.5 C). This
means that when the outside temperature decreases, the tire pressure will also decrease. Tire
pressure should always be set based on cold inflation tire pressure.
When diagnosing a tire pressure issue, always check air pressure in the tires first with a known
accurate air gauge. Adjust air pressure as necessary to that listed on the Tire Inflation Pressure
Label (Placard) provided with the vehicle (usually applied to the driver's side B-pillar). After
adjusting air pressure in a tire on the vehicle, allow approximately two minutes for the message or
indicator lamp to go out.
Check the tire pressure indicator lamp in the instrument cluster. If the lamp is illuminating
continuously, inspect all the tires for leaks. A water "dunk tank" or other water test may be used to
check for leaks around the sensor as long as any water at the valve core is removed once the
procedure is completed. The water can be easily expelled from the core area by pushing in on the
core for several seconds, allowing escaping air to drive out any moisture. Reinflate the tire as
necessary. Always make sure the original valve stem cap is securely installed to keep moisture out
of the sensor. If the gauge-read pressure in the tires does not indicate a tire pressure issue, refer to
the appropriate diagnostic information.
If the indicator lamp is flashing on/off for 75 seconds and then remains on solid, a system fault was
detected. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

REMOVAL
1. Raise and support vehicle. 2. Remove the tire and wheel assembly. See: Service and
Repair/Removal and Replacement
CAUTION: The cap used on this valve stem contains an O-ring seal to prevent contamination and
moisture from entering the valve stem. Retain this valve stem cap for reuse. Do not substitute a
regular valve stem cap in its place.
CAUTION: The valve stem used on this vehicle is made of aluminum and the core is nickel plated
brass. The original valve stem core must be reinstalled and not substituted with a valve stem core
made of a different material. This is required to prevent corrosion in the valve stem caused by the
different metals.
3. Let the air out of the tire. 4. Remove the nut (3). 5. Push the sensor into the tire (1) (so the
sensor is loose inside the tire). 6. Remove the tire from the rim. 7. Retrieve the sensor (1) from the

NOTE: Before reinstalling an existing tire pressure sensor (6), replace valve cap (2), nut (3), valve
core and sensor seal (4) to ensure proper sealing.
NOTE: The notch/flat should be lined up together and facing towards the wheel during installation.
1. Wipe area clean around sensor/valve stem mounting hole in wheel. Make sure surface of wheel
is not damaged.
2. Insert sensor (1) through wheel (2) as shown keeping pressure against rear of metal valve stem
(See Arrow). Potted side of sensor is to be
positioned toward wheel. Damage to the sensor may occur if the sensor is installed incorrectly.
NOTE: A flat on the seal seat is used to key the seat to the sensor housing. The notch/flat should
be lined up together and facing towards the wheel during installation.
3. Install sensor nut (3) and hand tighten.
NOTE: Before tightening sensor nut, push downward on sensor housing (2) in an attempt to make
it flush with interior contour of wheel (1).
4. While holding sensor in position, tighten sensor nut to 6 Nm (53 in. lbs.).
CAUTION: Over-tightening the sensor to as much as 10 Nm (88 in. lbs.) may result in sensor
separation from the valve stem. Under this condition, the sensor may still function, however, the
condition should be corrected immediately.
5. Mount tire on wheel following tire changer manufacturer's instructions, paying special attention to
the following to avoid damaging tire pressure
sensor: a.

Rotating Wheel Tire Changers- Once the wheel is mounted to the changer, position the sensor
valve stem (2) approximately 180° from the head of the changer (located at 1) in a clockwise
direction before rotating the wheel (also in a clockwise direction) to mount the tire. Use this
procedure on both the upper and lower tire beads.
b.
Rotating Tool Tire Changers - Position the wheel on the changer so that the sensor valve stem (1)
is located approximately 180° clockwise from the installation end of the mounting/dismounting tool
(2) once the tool is mounted for tire installation. Make sure the sensor is clear of the lower bead
breaker area (3) to avoid damaging the sensor when the breaker rises. Rotate the tool (2) in a
counterclockwise direction to mount the tire. Use this procedure on both the upper and lower tire
beads.
6. Adjust air pressure to that listed on Tire Inflation Pressure Label (Placard) provided with vehicle
(usually applied to driver's side B-pillar). Make
sure original style valve stem cap is securely installed to keep moisture out of sensor.
7. Install tire and wheel assembly on vehicle. See: Service and Repair/Removal and Replacement
8. Lower vehicle. 9. If the vehicle has been stationary for more then 20 minutes, drive the vehicle
for a minimum of 10 minutes while maintaining a continuous speed
above 15 mph (24 km/h). During this time, the system will learn the new sensor ID. A new sensor
ID can also be programmed directly into the WCM by using a RKE-TPM Analyzer in conjunction
with a Scan Tool. Once the new sensor ID has been programmed, the RKE-TPM Analyzer can be
used to update the TPMS by activating the sensor.
NOTE: If a sensor cannot be trained, refer to appropriate diagnostic information.

Low Tire Pressure Indicator: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
A Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. However,
on vehicles not equipped with the optional TPM, this indicator is electronically disabled. This
indicator is located in the lower portion of the tachometer dial face in the instrument cluster overlay.
The TPM indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of an icon that represents a cross-section of a
tire with a centered exclamation point in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster overlay. The
dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not
illuminated. An amber Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the
overlay causes the indicator to appear in amber through the translucent outer layer of the overlay
when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the instrument cluster
electronic circuit board.
The TPM indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Low Tire Pressure Indicator: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator of the status
of the TPM system. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument cluster circuit
board based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received by the cluster from the
Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The TPM indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument cluster
logic circuit, and that logic will only allow this indicator to operate when the instrument cluster
receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the
LED will always be OFF when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED
only illuminates when it is provide a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The
instrument cluster will turn ON the TPM indicator for the following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, the SKREEM sends an
electronic TPM indicator lamp-ON message to the cluster to illuminate the TPM indicator for about
three seconds as a bulb test.
- TPM Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic TPM indicator
lamp-ON message from the SKREEM, the TPM indicator will be illuminated. The indicator can be
flashed ON and OFF, or illuminated solid, as dictated by the SKREEM message. The indicator
remains illuminated until the cluster receives a lamp-OFF message from the SKREEM or until the
ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Communication Error - If the cluster receives no TPM lamp-ON or lamp-OFF messages from the
SKREEM for six consecutive seconds, the TPM indicator is illuminated by the instrument cluster.
The indicator remains controlled and illuminated by the cluster until a valid lamp-ON or lamp-OFF
message is received from the SKREEM.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the TPM indicator will be
turned ON, then OFF again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of
the LED and the cluster control circuitry.
The SKREEM performs a self-test each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position to
decide whether the TPM system is in good operating condition and whether the tire inflation
pressures are too high or too low. The SKREEM then sends the proper lamp-ON or lamp-OFF
message to the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab
Compartment Node/CCN). If the instrument cluster turns ON the TPM indicator after the bulb test, it
indicates that the inflation pressure of a tire is too low or that a malfunction has occurred and the
TPM system is ineffective.
For proper diagnosis of the TPM system, the SKREEM, the EMIC, the CAN data bus or the
electronic communication related to TPM indicator operation a diagnostic scan tool is required.
Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Tire Pressure Monitor Receiver / Transponder: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
A transponder (2), also known as a trigger module, is located in the front wheel wells (behind the
wheelhouse splash shields) of the vehicle to provide the WCM/SKREEM with the location of the
front tire pressure sensors on the vehicle.

Tire Pressure Monitor Receiver / Transponder: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The Wireless Control Module (WCM), commonly referred to as the Sentry Key Remote Entry
Module (SKREEM), uses transponders (trigger modules) located in the front wheel wells on the
vehicle to provide it with the location of the front tire pressure sensors on the vehicle. Like the base
system, the WCM receives RF signals from all four rotating wheel speed sensors. When the WCM
needs to know which sensor is located at a particular location on the vehicle, it directs the
transponder at that location to send out a low frequency signal to excite the nearby sensor. The
WCM then receives that excited signal and knows where that sensor is located. This auto-locating
process only happens in the first 10 minutes of any WCM cycle while traveling at speeds above 20
mph (32 km/h) (Each WCM cycle ends when the vehicle has been shut off for a time period of
approximately 20 minutes or longer). If the TPMS fails to localize, the TPM indicator lamp will flash
on/off for 75 seconds, and remain on solid.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Service Precautions
CAUTION
CAUTION: The use of tire sealants is not recommended for vehicles equipped with the Tire
Pressure Monitoring system. Tire sealants may clog tire pressure sensors.
CAUTION: Tire pressure sensor valve stem caps and cores are specially designed for the sensors.
Due to risk of corrosion, do not use a standard valve stem cap or core in a tire pressure sensor in
place of the original equipment style sensor cap and core.
CAUTION: It is not recommended to install a tire pressure sensor in an aftermarket wheel. Use tire
pressure sensors in original style factory wheels only.
CAUTION: Any time a sensor is to be reinstalled in a wheel, a new seal, cap and valve core must
be installed on the stem to ensure air tight sealing.
NOTE: TPM thresholds have been established for the original tire size equipped on the vehicle.
Use original size tires only to maintain system accuracy.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
On vehicles equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring System, one tire pressure sensor (6) is
mounted to each wheel in place of the traditional tire valve stem. Each sensor has an internal
battery that lasts up to 10 years. The battery is not serviceable. At the time of battery failure, the
sensor (6) must be replaced. The TPM system operates on a 315 MHz radio frequency. The 315
MHz sensors can be easily identified by a GREEN sensor body, with (an triangle insignia) (1). The
433 MHz sensors can be identified by a grey sensor body with an oval insignia. For car
applications, there is a 315 MHz TPM sensor with a Black sensor body with an oval insignia.
NOTE: This vehicle uses the 315 MHz TPM sensor with the GREEN sensor body. Although 315
MHz and 433 MHz sensors are identical in size and shape, they are not interchangeable. Always
make sure the correct color sensor is being used. A RKE-TPM Analyzer can be used to determine
the sensor's frequency without having to dismount the tire.
The TPM sensors are designed for original style factory wheels. It is not recommended to install a
tire pressure sensor in an aftermarket wheel. (This could cause sealing and system performance
issues.)
The serviceable components of the tire pressure sensor are:
- Sensor-To-Wheel Seal (4)
- Valve Stem Cap (2)
- Valve Stem Core
- Valve Stem Nut (3)
The valve stem caps and cores used are specifically designed for the tire pressure monitoring
sensors. Although similar to standard valve stem caps and cores, they are different. The valve
stem cap has a special seal inside to keep moisture and corrosion out. The valve stem core has a
special nickel coating to protect from corrosion.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
CAUTION: The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS
pressures have been established for the tire size equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable system
operation or sensor damage may result when using replacement equipment that is not of the same
size, type, and/or style. After-market wheels can cause sensor damage. Do not use aftermarket tire
sealants or balance beads if your vehicle is equipped with a TPMS, as damage to the sensors may
result.
CAUTION: After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure always reinstall the valve stem cap. This
will prevent moisture and dirt from entering the valve stem, which could damage the Tire Pressure
Monitoring Sensor.
CAUTION: Tire pressure sensor valve stem caps and cores are specially designed for the sensors.
Due to risk of corrosion, do not use a standard valve stem cap or core in a tire pressure sensor in
place of the original equipment style sensor cap and core.
CAUTION: Any time a sensor is to be reinstalled in a wheel, a new seal, nut, cap and valve core
must be installed on the stem to ensure air tight sealing.
NOTE: TPM thresholds have been established for the original tire size equipped on the vehicle.
Use original size tires only to maintain system accuracy.
The battery operated tire pressure sensor is both a transmitter and a receiver. The TPM sensor can
be forced to transmit if using a special tool such as a TPM-RKE Analyzer, or from a transponder.
The TPM-RKE Analyzer has the ability to change the sensor mode and to diagnose a faulty TPM
sensor. Using a TPM-RKE Analyzer can take up to a minute to force a transmission from a sensor.
The High Pressure TPM sensor can be in one of the following modes:
Sleep Mode - A new TPM sensor will be in this mode. If placed on the vehicle as a road tire, the
TPM sensor will transmit once every 20 seconds when the vehicle is driven at speeds over 15 mph
(24 km/h). If the vehicle is not moving, the sensor will only transmit on a pressure change greater
then 2 psi (13.8 kPA). Driving the vehicle continuously at speeds over 15 mph (24 km/h) for more
then 4 minutes will change the sensor state into 30 BLOCK MODE. The TPM sensor will not return
to SLEEP MODE. Now, if the vehicle has been stopped for 20 minutes, the TPM sensor state will
change to PARK MODE.
- Park Mode - This is the correct mode when the vehicle is not moving. The sensor will transmit
once every 13 hours to update the WCM, or will transmit on a 2 psi (13.8 kPA) delta change. The
sensors will internally take a measurement of the tire pressure every minute to determine a change
in tire pressure.
- 30 Block Mode - If the vehicle has not been moving for more then 20 minutes, or if the sensor's
mode was forced to Park Mode using a TPM-RKE Analyzer, the sensor's operating mode will
transition from PARK MODE to 30 BLOCK MODE once the vehicle is driven over 15 mph. In this
mode, the sensor will transmit once every 15 seconds when the vehicle is driven at speeds over 15
mph (24 km/h) for the first 30 transmissions. After 8 minutes of continuous driving above 15 mph
(24 km/h), the TPM sensor will change to DRIVE MODE.
Drive Mode - In this mode, the sensor will transmit once every minute when the vehicle is driven at
speeds over 15 mph (24 km/h). At any time that the vehicle speed drops below 15mph, the sensor
will not transmit. The sensor mode will still be in drive mode when the sensor reaches speeds over
15 mph (24 km/h). If the vehicle has been stationary for more then 20 minutes, the TPM sensor will
change to PARK MODE.
Each sensor's (transmitter) broadcast is uniquely coded so that the wireless control module (WCM)
can monitor the state of each of the sensors on the four rotating road wheels. The WCM can
automatically learn and store the sensor's ID while driving "within 10 minutes continuously above
15 m.p.h. (24 Km/h)" after a sensor has been replaced. The vehicle must be stationary for more
then 20 minutes in order to initiate the learning sequence.
The sensor IDs can also be programmed using the TPM-RKE Analyzer Tool. Scan each TPM
sensor at each road wheel, and store each Sensor ID in the correct location. (LEFT FRONT, LEFT
REAR, RIGHT FRONT, and RIGHT REAR) Connect the TPM-RKE Analyzer Tool to the Scan Tool.
Then follow the programming steps outlined in the diagnostic Scan Tool for "Program Tire Pressure
Sensor ID w/ TPM Tool" under "MISC" for the "WCM/WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE".

Tire Pressure Sensor: Testing and Inspection
TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR
NOTE: Tire pressure may increase from 2 to 6 psi (14 to 41 kPa) during normal driving conditions.
Do NOT reduce this normal pressure build up.
NOTE: Tire pressure will vary with temperature by about 1 psi (6.9 kPa) for every 12 F (6.5 C). This
means that when the outside temperature decreases, the tire pressure will also decrease. Tire
pressure should always be set based on cold inflation tire pressure.
When diagnosing a tire pressure issue, always check air pressure in the tires first with a known
accurate air gauge. Adjust air pressure as necessary to that listed on the Tire Inflation Pressure
Label (Placard) provided with the vehicle (usually applied to the driver's side B-pillar). After
adjusting air pressure in a tire on the vehicle, allow approximately two minutes for the message or
indicator lamp to go out.
Check the tire pressure indicator lamp in the instrument cluster. If the lamp is illuminating
continuously, inspect all the tires for leaks. A water "dunk tank" or other water test may be used to
check for leaks around the sensor as long as any water at the valve core is removed once the
procedure is completed. The water can be easily expelled from the core area by pushing in on the
core for several seconds, allowing escaping air to drive out any moisture. Reinflate the tire as
necessary. Always make sure the original valve stem cap is securely installed to keep moisture out
of the sensor. If the gauge-read pressure in the tires does not indicate a tire pressure issue, refer to
the appropriate diagnostic information.
If the indicator lamp is flashing on/off for 75 seconds and then remains on solid, a system fault was
detected. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

core and sensor seal (4) to ensure proper sealing.
NOTE: The notch/flat should be lined up together and facing towards the wheel during installation.
1. Wipe area clean around sensor/valve stem mounting hole in wheel. Make sure surface of wheel
is not damaged.
2. Insert sensor (1) through wheel (2) as shown keeping pressure against rear of metal valve stem
(See Arrow). Potted side of sensor is to be
positioned toward wheel. Damage to the sensor may occur if the sensor is installed incorrectly.
NOTE: A flat on the seal seat is used to key the seat to the sensor housing. The notch/flat should
be lined up together and facing towards the wheel during installation.
3. Install sensor nut (3) and hand tighten.
NOTE: Before tightening sensor nut, push downward on sensor housing (2) in an attempt to make
it flush with interior contour of wheel (1).
4. While holding sensor in position, tighten sensor nut to 6 Nm (53 in. lbs.).
CAUTION: Over-tightening the sensor to as much as 10 Nm (88 in. lbs.) may result in sensor
separation from the valve stem. Under this condition, the sensor may still function, however, the
condition should be corrected immediately.
5. Mount tire on wheel following tire changer manufacturer's instructions, paying special attention to
the following to avoid damaging tire pressure

Rotating Wheel Tire Changers- Once the wheel is mounted to the changer, position the sensor
valve stem (2) approximately 180° from the head of the changer (located at 1) in a clockwise
direction before rotating the wheel (also in a clockwise direction) to mount the tire. Use this
procedure on both the upper and lower tire beads.
b.
Rotating Tool Tire Changers - Position the wheel on the changer so that the sensor valve stem (1)
is located approximately 180° clockwise from the installation end of the mounting/dismounting tool
(2) once the tool is mounted for tire installation. Make sure the sensor is clear of the lower bead
breaker area (3) to avoid damaging the sensor when the breaker rises. Rotate the tool (2) in a
counterclockwise direction to mount the tire. Use this procedure on both the upper and lower tire
beads.
6. Adjust air pressure to that listed on Tire Inflation Pressure Label (Placard) provided with vehicle
(usually applied to driver's side B-pillar). Make
sure original style valve stem cap is securely installed to keep moisture out of sensor.
7. Install tire and wheel assembly on vehicle. See: Service and Repair/Removal and Replacement
8. Lower vehicle. 9. If the vehicle has been stationary for more then 20 minutes, drive the vehicle
for a minimum of 10 minutes while maintaining a continuous speed
above 15 mph (24 km/h). During this time, the system will learn the new sensor ID. A new sensor
ID can also be programmed directly into the WCM by using a RKE-TPM Analyzer in conjunction
with a Scan Tool. Once the new sensor ID has been programmed, the RKE-TPM Analyzer can be
used to update the TPMS by activating the sensor.
NOTE: If a sensor cannot be trained, refer to appropriate diagnostic information.

Tires: Description and Operation Tires - Description
Tires
TIRES
Tires are designed and engineered for each specific vehicle. They provide the best overall
performance for normal operation. The ride and handling characteristics match the vehicle's
requirements. With proper care they will give excellent reliability, traction, skid resistance, and tread
life.
Driving habits have more effect on tire life than any other factor. Careful drivers will obtain in most
cases, much greater mileage than severe use or careless drivers. A few of the driving habits which
will shorten the life of any tire are:
- Rapid acceleration
- Severe brake applications
- High speed driving
- Excessive speeds on turns
- Striking curbs and other obstacles
Radial-ply tires are more prone to irregular tread wear. It is important to follow the tire rotation
interval See: Service and Repair/Procedures . This will help to achieve a greater tread life.
TIRE IDENTIFICATION
Tire type, size, aspect ratio and speed rating are encoded in the letters and numbers imprinted on
the side wall of the tire. Refer to the chart to decipher the tire identification code.
Performance tires have a speed rating letter after the aspect ratio number. The speed rating is not
always printed on the tire sidewall. These ratings are:
- Q up to 99 mph
- S up to 112 mph
- T up to 118 mph
- U up to 124 mph
- H up to 130 mph
V up to 149 mph
W (consult the tire manufacturer for the specific speed rating)
- Z more than 149 mph (consult the tire manufacturer for the specific speed rating)
An All Season type tire will have either M + S, M & S or M-S (indicating mud and snow traction)
imprinted on the side wall.
TIRE CHAINS
Tire snow chains may be used on certain models.
Radial - Ply Tires
RADIAL - PLY TIRES
Radial-ply tires improve handling, tread life and ride quality, and decrease rolling resistance.
Dodge Ram 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (Truck V8-4.7L (2008))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Tires > Component Information > Description and
Operation > Spare Tire > Page 2566
Radial-ply tires must always be used in sets of four. Under no circumstances should they be used
on the front only. They may be mixed with temporary spare tires when necessary. A maximum
speed of 80 KMH (50 MPH) is recommended while a temporary spare is in use.
Radial-ply tires have the same load-carrying capacity as other types of tires of the same size. They
also use the same recommended inflation pressures.
The use of oversized tires, either in the front or rear of the vehicle, can cause vehicle drive train
failure. This could also cause inaccurate wheel speed signals when the vehicle is equipped with
Anti-Lock Brakes.
The use of tires from different manufactures on the same vehicle is NOT recommended. The
proper tire pressure should be maintained on all four tires.
Tire Pressure For High Speeds
TIRE PRESSURE FOR HIGH SPEEDS
For proper tire pressure specification refer to the Owners Manual.
Tire Inflation Pressures
TIRE INFLATION PRESSURES
WARNING: Over or under inflated tires can affect vehicle handling and tread wear. This may cause
the tire to fail suddenly, resulting in loss of vehicle control.
Under inflation will cause rapid shoulder wear (1), tire flexing, and possible tire failure.
Dodge Ram 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (Truck V8-4.7L (2008))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Tires > Component Information > Description and
Operation > Spare Tire > Page 2567
Over inflation will cause rapid center wear (1) reduction in the tire's ability to cushion shocks.
Improper inflation can cause:
- Uneven wear patterns
- Reduced tread life
- Reduced fuel economy
- Unsatisfactory ride
- Vehicle drift
For proper tire pressure specification refer to the tire label placard usually located on the drivers
door latch pillar.

when using the temporary spare tire.
Replacement Tires
REPLACEMENT TIRES
The original equipment tires provide a proper balance of many characteristics such as:
- Ride
- Noise
- Handling
- Durability
- Tread life
- Traction
- Rolling resistance
- Speed capability
It is recommended that tires equivalent to the original equipment tires be used when replacement is
needed.
Failure to use equivalent replacement tires may adversely affect the safety and handling of the
vehicle.
The use of oversize tires may cause interference with vehicle components. Under extremes of
suspension and steering travel, interference with vehicle components may cause tire damage.
WARNING: Failure to equip the vehicle with tires having adequate speed capability can result in
sudden tire failure.

TREAD WEAR INDICATORS
Tread wear indicators (3) are molded into the bottom of the tread grooves. When tread depth is 1.6
mm (1/16 in.), the tread wear indicators (3) will appear as a 13 mm (1/2 in.) band.
Tire replacement is necessary when indicators appear in two or more grooves or if localized
balding occurs.

Tires: Testing and Inspection Tire Wear Patterns
TIRE WEAR PATTERNS
Under inflation will cause wear on the shoulders of tire. Over inflation will cause wear at the center
of tire.
Excessive camber causes the tire to run at an angle to the road. One side of tread is then worn
more than the other.
Excessive toe-in or toe-out causes wear on the tread edges and a feathered effect across the
tread.

Tires: Testing and Inspection Tire Noise Or Vibration
TIRE NOISE OR VIBRATION
Radial-ply tires are sensitive to force impulses caused by improper mounting, vibration, wheel
defects, or possibly tire imbalance.
To find out if tires are causing the noise or vibration, drive the vehicle over a smooth road at
varying speeds. Note the noise level during acceleration and deceleration. The engine, differential
and exhaust noises will change as speed varies, while the tire noise will usually remain constant.

NOTE:
This information applies to any model equipped with Chrome Clad Wheels.
DISCUSSION:
Models equipped with Chrome Clad wheels require specific piloting on balance equipment to
properly center the wheel and prevent damage to the chrome clad surface. The chrome cladding is
not removable or replaceable and has cladding tabs that extend into the wheel bore. Traditional
high-taper cones will come into contact with the cladding tabs rather than properly seat on the hub
bore chamfer. Many modern aluminum wheel designs cannot be mounted with traditional cones.
Direct-Fit Collets should be used to properly mount clad wheels on balance equipment (Fig 1).
SPECIAL TOOLS/EQUIPMENT REQUIRED:
NOTE:
This kit includes the adapters for all Dodge, Chrysler & Jeep models with clad wheels. Individual
adapters for specific wheel sizes can be ordered separately. To order a kit or individual adapters,
contact Pentastar Service Equipment @ 1-800-223-5623.

Wheels: Description and Operation Wheel Design
WHEEL DESIGN
The rim size is on the vehicle safety certification label located on the drivers door shut face.
Original equipment wheels/rims are designed for operation up to the specified maximum vehicle
capacity.
All models use stamped steel, cast aluminum or forged aluminum wheels. Every wheel has raised
sections between the rim flanges (1) and rim drop well (3) called safety humps.
Initial inflation of the tire forces the bead over these raised sections. In case of rapid loss of air
pressure, the raised sections help hold the tire on the wheel.
The wheel studs and nuts are designed for specific applications. All aluminum and some steel
wheels have wheel stud nuts with an enlarged nose. This enlarged nose is necessary to ensure
proper retention of the wheels. Do not use replacement studs or nuts with a different design or
lesser quality.

Wheels: Description and Operation Wheels
WHEELS
Original equipment wheels are designed for the specified Maximum Vehicle Capacity.
All models use steel or aluminum drop center wheels.
Aluminum wheels require special balance weights and alignment equipment.
1. On vehicles equipped with dual rear wheels, the rim is an eight stud hole pattern wheel. The
wheels have a flat mounting surface (1).
2. The slots (1) in the wheel must be aligned to provide access to the valve stem.

Wheels: Testing and Inspection
WHEEL INSPECTION
Inspect wheels for:
- Excessive run out
- Dents or cracks
- Damaged wheel lug nut holes
- Air Leaks from any area or surface of the rim
NOTE: Do not attempt to repair a wheel by hammering, heating or welding.
If a wheel is damaged an original equipment replacement wheel should be used. When obtaining
replacement wheels, they should be equivalent in load carrying capacity. The diameter, width,
offset, pilot hole and bolt circle of the wheel should be the same as the original wheel.
WARNING: Failure to use equivalent replacement wheels may adversely affect the safety and
handling of the vehicle. Used wheels are not recommended. The service history of the wheel may
have included severe treatment or very high mileage. The rim could fail without warning.
WARNING: Daimlerchrysler corporation does not recommend that customers use "reconditioned"
wheels (wheels that have been damaged and repaired) because they can result in a sudden
catastrophic wheel failure which could cause loss of control and result in injury or death.
For Clarification:
- Cosmetic refinishing for the purpose of repairing a superficial flaw is an acceptable procedure
providing it is limited to paint or clear coat only, the wheel is not modified in any way, and there is
no exposure to paint curing heat over 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Damaged wheels are those which have been bent, broken, cracked or sustained some other
physical damage which may have compromised the wheel structure
- Repaired indicates that the wheel has been modified through bending, welding, heating,
straightening, or material removal to rectify damage.
- Re-plating of chrome plated wheels is not an acceptable procedure nor is chrome plating of
original equipment painted or polished wheels, as this may alter mechanical properties and affect
fatigue life.

Dodge Ram 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (Truck V8-4.7L (2008))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Towing Information > System Information > Service and Repair > Towing
Towing Information: Service and Repair Towing
STANDARD PROCEDURE
A vehicle equipped with SAE approved sling-type towing equipment can be used to tow all
vehicles. When towing a 4WD vehicle using a wheel-lift towing device, use tow dollies under the
opposite end of the vehicle. A vehicle with flat-bed device can also be used to transport a disabled
vehicle.
A wooden crossbeam may be required for proper connection when using the sling-type, front-end
towing method.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION: The following safety precautions must be observed when towing a vehicle:
- Secure loose and protruding parts.
- Always use a safety chain system that is independent of the lifting and towing equipment.
- Do not allow towing equipment to contact the disabled vehicle's fuel tank.
- Do not allow anyone under the disabled vehicle while it is lifted by the towing device.
- Do not allow passengers to ride in a vehicle being towed.
- Always observe state and local laws regarding towing regulations.
- Do not tow a vehicle in a manner that could jeopardize the safety of the operator, pedestrians or
other motorists.
- Do not attach tow chains, T-hooks, J-hooks, or a tow sling to a bumper, steering linkage, drive
shafts or a non-reinforced frame hole.
- Do not tow a heavily loaded vehicle. Damage to the cab, cargo box or frame may result. Use a
flatbed device to transport a loaded vehicle.
GROUND CLEARANCE
CAUTION: If vehicle is towed with wheels removed, install lug nuts to retain brake drums or rotors.
A towed vehicle should be raised until lifted wheels are a minimum 100 mm (4 in) from the ground.
Be sure there is adequate ground clearance at the opposite end of the vehicle, especially when
towing over rough terrain or steep rises in the road. If necessary, remove the wheels from the lifted
end of the vehicle and lower the vehicle closer to the ground, to increase the ground clearance at
the opposite end of the vehicle. Install lug nuts on wheel attaching studs to retain brake drums or
rotors.
RAMP ANGLE
If a vehicle with flat-bed towing equipment is used, the approach ramp angle should not exceed 15
degrees.
TOWING WHEN KEYS ARE NOT AVAILABLE
When the vehicle is locked and keys are not available, use a flat bed hauler. A Wheel-lift or
Sling-type device can be used on 4WD vehicles provided all the wheels are lifted off the ground
using tow dollies.
FOUR-WHEEL-DRIVE VEHICLE TOWING
DaimlerChrysler Corporation recommends that a vehicle be transported on a flat-bed device. A
Wheel-lift or Sling-type device can be used provided all

the wheels are lifted off the ground using tow dollies.
WARNING: When towing a disabled vehicle and the drive wheels are secured in a wheel lift or tow
dollies, ensure the transmission is in the park position (automatic transmission) or a forward drive
gear (manual transmission).
CAUTION: Many vehicles are equipped with air dams, spoilers, and/or ground effect panels. To
avoid component damage, a wheel-lift towing vehicle or a flat-bed hauling vehicle is recommended.

Towing Information: Service and Repair Trailer Towing - NAFTA
TRAILER TOWING - NAFTA
In this section you will find safety tips and information on limits to the type of towing you can
reasonably do with your vehicle. Before towing a trailer carefully review this information to tow your
load as efficiently and safely as possible.
To maintain warranty coverage, follow the requirements and recommendations concerning vehicles
used for trailer towing.
Common Towing Definitions
The following trailer towing related definitions will assist you in understanding the following
information:
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)
The GVWR is the total allowable weight of your vehicle. This includes driver, passengers, cargo
and tongue weight. The total load must be limited so that you do not exceed the GVWR.
Gross Trailer Weight (GTW)
The gross trailer weight (GTW) is the weight of the trailer plus the weight of all cargo, consumables
and equipment (permanent or temporary) loaded in or on the trailer in its "loaded and ready for
operation" condition. The recommended way to measure GTW is to put your fully loaded trailer on
a vehicle scale. The entire weight of the trailer must be supported by the scale.
Gross Combination Weight Rating (GCWR)
The gross combination weight rating (GCWR) is the total permissible weight of your vehicle and
trailer when weighed in combination. (Note that GCWR ratings include a 68 kg (150 lbs) allowance
for the presence of a driver).
Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR)
The GAWR is the maximum capacity of the front and rear axles. Distribute the load over the front
and rear axles evenly. Make sure that you do not exceed either front or rear GAWR.
WARNING: It is important that you do not exceed the maximum front or rear GAWR. A dangerous
driving condition can result if either rating is exceeded. You could lose control of the vehicle and
have an accident.
Tongue Weight (TW)
The downward force exerted on the hitch ball by the trailer. In most cases it should not be less than
10% or more than 15% of the trailer load. You must consider this as part of the load on your
vehicle.
Frontal Area
The maximum height and maximum width of the front of a trailer.
Trailer Sway Control
The trailer sway control is a telescoping link that can be installed between the hitch receiver and
the trailer tongue that typically provides adjustable friction associated with the telescoping motion to
dampen any unwanted trailer swaying motions while traveling.
Weight-Carrying Hitch
A weight-carrying hitch supports the trailer tongue weight, just as if it were luggage located at a
hitch ball or some other connecting point of the truck. These kind of hitches are the most popular
on the market today and they're commonly used to tow small- and medium-sized trailers.
Weight-Distributing Hitch
A weight-distributing system works by applying leverage through spring (load) bars. They are
typically used for heavier loads, to distribute trailer tongue weight to the tow vehicle's front axle and
the trailer axle(s). When used in accordance with the manufacturers' directions, it provides for a
more level ride, offering more consistent steering and brake control thereby enhancing towing
safety. The addition of a friction / hydraulic sway control also dampens sway caused by traffic and
crosswinds and contributes positively to tow vehicle and trailer stability. Trailer sway control and a
weight distributing (load equalizing) hitch are recommended for heavier Tongue Weights (TW) and
may be required depending on Vehicle and Trailer configuration / loading to comply with gross axle
weight rating (GAWR) requirements.

WARNING: An improperly adjusted Weight Distributing Hitch system may reduce handling,
stability, braking performance, and could result in an accident.
Weight Distributing Systems may not be compatible with Surge Brake Couplers. Consult with your
hitch and trailer manufacturer or a reputable Recreational Vehicle dealer for additional information.
Fifth-Wheel Hitch
A special high platform with a coupling that mounts over the rear axle of the tow vehicle in the truck
bed. Connects a vehicle and fifth-wheel trailer with a coupling king pin.
Gooseneck Hitch
The gooseneck hitch employs a pivoted coupling arm which attaches to a ball mounted in the bed
of a pickup truck. The coupling arm connects to the hitch mounted over the rear axle in the truck
bed.
Trailer Hitch Classification
The rear bumper is intended to tow trailers up to 2,000 lbs (907 kg) without added equipment or
alterations to the standard equipment. Your vehicle may be factory equipped for safe towing of
trailers weighing over 2,000 lbs (907 kg) with the optional Trailer Tow Prep Package. See your
dealer for package content.
The following chart provides the industry standard for the maximum trailer weight a given trailer
hitch class can tow and should be used to assist you in selecting the correct trailer hitch for your
intended towing condition.
All trailer hitches should be professionally installed on your vehicle.
Trailer Towing Weights (Maximum Trailer Weight Ratings)
Trailer and Tongue Weight
Dodge Ram 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (Truck V8-4.7L (2008))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Towing Information > System Information > Service and Repair > Towing >
Page 2623
Always load a trailer with 60% to 65% of the weight in the front of the trailer. This places 10% to
15% of the Gross Trailer Weight (GTW) on the tow hitch of your vehicle. Loads balanced over the
wheels or heavier in the rear can cause the trailer to swayseverely side to side which will cause
loss of control of vehicle and trailer. Failure to load trailers heavier in front is the cause of many
trailer accidents.
Never exceed the maximum tongue weight stamped on your bumper or trailer hitch.
Consider the following items when computing the weight on the rear axle of the vehicle:
- The tongue weight of the trailer.
- The weight of any other type of cargo or equipment put in or on your vehicle.
- The weight of the driver and all passengers.
NOTE: Remember that everything put into or on the trailer adds to the load on your vehicle. Also,
additional factory-installed options, or dealer-installed options, must be considered as part of the
total load on your vehicle.
Towing Requirements
To promote proper break-in of your new vehicle drivetrain components the following guidelines are
recommended:
CAUTION:
- Avoid towing a trailer for the first 500 miles (805 km) of vehicle operation. Doing so may damage
your vehicle.
- During the first 500 miles (805 km) of trailer towing, limit your speed to 50 mph (80 km/h).
WARNING: Your vehicle may require special axle lubricant.
Perform the maintenance listed of this manual. When towing a trailer, never exceed the GAWR, or
GCWR, ratings.
WARNING: Improper towing can lead to an injury accident. Follow these guidelines to make your
trailer towing as safe as possible:
Make certain that the load is secured in the trailer and will not shift during travel. When trailering
cargo that is not fully secured, dynamic load shifts can occur that may be difficult for the driver to
control. You could lose control of your vehicle and have an accident.
- When hauling cargo or towing a trailer, do not overload your vehicle or trailer. Overloading can
cause a loss of control, poor performance or damage to brakes, axle, engine, transmission,
steering, suspension, chassis structure or tires.
- Safety chains must always be used between your vehicle and trailer. Always connect the chains
to the frame or hook retainers of the vehicle hitch. Cross the chains under the trailer tongue and
allow enough slack for turning corners.
- Vehicles with trailers should not be parked on a grade. When parking, apply the parking brake on
the tow vehicle. Put the tow vehicle automatic transmission in P for Park. With a manual
transmission, shift the transmission into reverse. And with four-wheel-drive vehicles, make sure the
transfer case is not in neutral. Always, block or "chock" the trailer wheels.
- GCWR must not be exceeded.
- Total weight must be distributed between the tow vehicle and the trailer such that the following
four ratings are not exceeded:
- GVWR
- GTW
- GAWR
- Tongue weight rating for the trailer hitch utilized (This requirement may limit the ability to always
achieve the 10% to 15% range of tongue weight as a percentage of total trailer weight).
Towing Requirements - Tires
- Do not attempt to tow a trailer while using a compact spare tire.
Dodge Ram 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (Truck V8-4.7L (2008))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Towing Information > System Information > Service and Repair > Towing >
Page 2624
- Proper tire inflation pressures are essential to the safe and satisfactory operation of your vehicle.
- Also, check the trailer tires for proper tire inflation pressures before trailer usage.
- Check for signs of tire wear or visible tire damage before towing a trailer.
- When replacing tires, Replacing tires with a higher load carrying capacity will not increase the
vehicle's GVWR and GAWR limits.
Towing Requirements - Trailer Brakes
- Do not interconnect the hydraulic brake system or vacuum system of your vehicle with that of the
trailer. This could cause inadequate braking and possible personal injury.
- An electronically actuated trailer brake controller is required when towing a trailer with
electronically actuated brakes. When towing a trailer equipped with a hydraulic surge actuated
brake system, an electronic brake controller is not required.
- Trailer brakes are recommended for trailers over 1,000 lbs (454 kg) and required for trailers in
excess of 2,000 lbs (907 kg).
CAUTION: If the trailer weighs more than 1,000 lbs (454 kg) loaded, it should have its own brakes
and they should be of adequate capacity. Failure to do this could lead to accelerated brake lining
wear, higher brake pedal effort, and longer stopping distances.
WARNING: Do not connect trailer brakes to your vehicle's hydraulic brake lines. It can overload
your brake system and cause it to fail. You might not have brakes when you need them and could
have an accident.
Towing any trailer will increase your stopping distance. When towing you should allow for additional
space between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you. Failure to do so could result in an
accident.
Towing Requirements - Trailer Lights & Wiring
Whenever you pull a trailer, regardless of the trailer size, stop lights and turn signals on the trailer
are required for motoring safety.
The Trailer Tow Package may include a 4 and 7 pin wiring harness. Use a factory approved trailer
harness and connector.
NOTE: Do not cut or splice wiring into the vehicles wiring harness.
The electrical connections are all complete to the vehicle but you must mate the harness to a trailer
connector. Refer to the following illustrations.
Towing Tips
Before setting out on a trip, practice turning, stopping and backing the trailer in an area away from
heavy traffic.
If using a manual transmission vehicle for trailer towing, all starts must be in FIRST gear to avoid
excessive clutch slippage.
Towing Tips - Automatic Transmission
Dodge Ram 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (Truck V8-4.7L (2008))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Towing Information > System Information > Service and Repair > Towing >
Page 2625
The "D" range can be selected when towing. However, if frequent shifting occurs while in this
range, the "TOW HAUL" or "OD/OFF" range should be selected.
NOTE: Using the "TOW HAUL" or "OD/OFF" range while operating the vehicle under heavy
operating conditions will improve performance and extend transmission life by reducing excessive
shifting and heat build up. This action will also provide better engine braking.
The automatic transmission fluid and filter should be changed if you REGULARLY tow a trailer for
more than 45 minutes of continuous operation.
NOTE: Check the automatic transmission fluid level before towing.
Towing Tips - Tow/Haul (If Equipped)
To reduce potential for automatic transmission overheating, turn the "TOW HAUL OD/OFF" feature
ON when driving in hilly areas or shift the transmission to Drive position 2 on more severe grades.
Towing Tips - Electronic Speed Control (If Equipped)
- Don't use in hilly terrain or with heavy loads.
- When using the speed control, if you experience speed drops greater than 10 mph (16 km/h),
disengage until you can get back to cruising speed.
- Use speed control in flat terrain and with light loads to maximize fuel efficiency.
Towing Tips - Cooling System
To reduce potential for engine and transmission overheating, take the following actions:
- City Driving - When stopped for short periods of time, put transmission in neutral and increase
engine idle speed.
- Highway Driving - Reduce speed.
- Air Conditioning - Turn off temporarily.
- refer to Cooling System Operating information in the Maintenance section of this manual for more
information.
Trailer Towing Mirrors - If Equipped
These mirrors are designed with an adjustable mirror head to provide a greater vision range when
towing extra-wide loads. To change position inboard or outboard, the mirror head should be rotated
(flipped Out or In). A small blindspot mirror is integrated onto the main mirror surface.
NOTE: Fold the 7 x 10 inch trailer towing mirrors rearward prior to entering an automated car wash.

Rocker Arm Assembly: Testing and Inspection
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - HYDRAULIC LASH ADJUSTER
A tappet-like noise may be produced from several items. Check the following items.
1. Engine oil level too high or too low. This may cause aerated oil to enter the adjusters and cause
them to be spongy. 2. Insufficient running time after rebuilding cylinder head. Low speed running
up to 1 hour may be required. 3. Turn engine off and let set for a few minutes before restarting.
Repeat this several times after engine has reached normal operating temperature. 4. Low oil
pressure. 5. The oil restrictor in cylinder head gasket or the oil passage to the cylinder head is
plugged with debris. 6. Air ingested into oil due to broken or cracked oil pump pick up. 7. Worn
valve guides. 8. Rocker arm ears contacting valve spring retainer. 9. Rocker arm loose, adjuster
stuck or at maximum extension and still leaves lash in the system.
10. Oil leak or excessive cam bore wear in cylinder head. 11. Faulty lash adjuster.
- Check lash adjusters for sponginess while installed in cylinder head and cam on camshaft at base
circle. Depress part of rocker arm over adjuster. Normal adjusters should feel very firm. Spongy
adjusters can be bottomed out easily.
- Remove suspected lash adjusters, and replace.
- Before installation, make sure adjusters are at least partially full of oil. This can be verified by little
or no plunger travel when lash adjuster is depressed.

Connecting Rod Bearing: Service and Repair
STANDARD PROCEDURE - CONNECTING ROD BEARING FITTING
Inspect the connecting rod bearings for scoring. Check the bearings for normal wear patterns,
scoring, grooving, fatigue and pitting. Replace any bearing that shows abnormal wear.
Inspect the connecting rod journals for signs of scoring, nicks and burrs.
Misaligned or bent connecting rods can cause abnormal wear on pistons, piston rings, cylinder
walls, connecting rod bearings and crankshaft connecting rod journals. If wear patterns or damage
to any of these components indicate the probability of a misaligned connecting rod, inspect it for
correct rod alignment. Replace misaligned, bent or twisted connecting rods.
1. Wipe the oil from the connecting rod journal.
2. Lubricate the upper bearing insert (2) and install in connecting rod (1). Center bearing insert (2)
in connecting rod.

> Component Information > Specifications > Page 2679
3. Use piston ring compressor (3) and Guide Pins Special Tool 8507 (4) to install the rod and piston
assemblies. The oil slinger slots in the rods must
face front of the engine. The "F"'s near the piston wrist pin bore should point to the front of the
engine.
4. Install the lower bearing insert in the bearing cap Center bearing insert (2) in connecting rod (1)..
The lower insert must be dry. Place strip of
Plastigage across full width of the lower insert at the center of bearing cap. Plastigage must not
crumble in use. If brittle, obtain fresh stock.
Dodge Ram 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (Truck V8-4.7L (2008))

> Component Information > Specifications > Page 2680
5. Install bearing cap and connecting rod on the journal and tighten bolts to 27 Nm (20 ft. lbs.) plus
a 90° turn. DO NOT rotate crankshaft. Plastigage
will smear, resulting in inaccurate indication.
6. Remove the bearing cap and determine amount of bearing-to-journal clearance by measuring
the width of compressed Plastigage (2). Refer to
Engine Specifications for the proper clearance. Plastigage should indicate the same clearance
across the entire width of the insert. If the clearance varies, it may be caused by either a tapered
journal, bent connecting rod or foreign material trapped between the insert and cap or rod.
7. If the correct clearance is indicated, replacement of the bearing inserts is not necessary.
Remove the Plastigage (2) from crankshaft journal and
bearing insert. Proceed with installation.
8. If bearing-to-journal clearance exceeds the specification, determine which service bearing set to
use, using the chart above.
CAUTION: Connecting Rod Bolts are Torque to Yield Bolts and Must Not Be Reused. Always
replace the Rod Bolts whenever they are loosened or removed.
9. Repeat the Plastigage measurement to verify your bearing selection prior to final assembly.
10. Once you have selected the proper insert, install the insert and cap. Tighten the connecting rod
bolts to 27 Nm (20 ft. lbs.) plus a 90° turn.
Slide snug-fitting feeler gauge between the connecting rod and crankshaft journal flange. Refer to
Engine Specifications for the proper clearance. Replace the connecting rod if the side clearance is
not within specification.

Piston: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION
CAUTION: Do not use a metal stamp to mark connecting rods as damage may result, instead use
ink or a scratch awl.
The pistons are made of a high strength aluminum alloy. The anodized top ring groove and crown
has been replaced with a coated top ring that is blue in color on the bottom surface. Piston skirts
are coated with a solid lubricant (Molykote) to reduce friction and provide scuff resistance. The
connecting rods are made of forged powdered metal, with a "fractured cap" design. A pressed fit
piston pin is used to attach the piston and connecting rod.

Piston and Connecting Rod - Cleaning
CLEANING
CAUTION: DO NOT use a wire wheel or other abrasive cleaning devise to clean the pistons or
connecting rods. The pistons have a Moly coating, this coating must not be damaged.
1. Using a suitable cleaning solvent clean the pistons in warm water and towel dry. 2. Use a wood
or plastic scraper to clean the ring land grooves.
CAUTION: DO NOT remove the piston pin from the piston and connecting rod assembly.
Piston and Connecting Rod - Inspection
INSPECTION
Check the connecting rod journal for excessive wear, taper and scoring See: Connecting Rod
Bearing/Service and Repair .
Check the connecting rod for signs of twist or bending.
Check the piston for taper and elliptical shape before it is fitted into the cylinder bore See: Piston
Fitting .
Check the piston for scoring, or scraping marks in the piston skirts. Check the ring lands for cracks
and/or deterioration.
Piston Fitting
STANDARD PROCEDURE - PISTON FITTING
1. To correctly select the proper size piston, a cylinder bore gauge (2), capable of reading in 0.003
mm (.0001 in.) INCREMENTS is required. If a
bore gauge is not available, do not use an inside micrometer.
2. Measure the inside diameter of the cylinder bore (3) at a point 38.0 mm (1.5 inches) below top of
bore. Start perpendicular (across or at 90
degrees) to the axis of the crankshaft at point A and then take an additional bore reading 90
degrees to that at point B.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Cylinder Block Assembly > Piston, Engine >
Component Information > Service and Repair > Procedures > Page 2736
3. The coated pistons (1,2) will be serviced with the piston pin and connecting rod pre-assembled.
4. The coating material is applied to the piston after the final piston machining process. Measuring
the outside diameter of a coated piston (1,2) will
not provide accurate results. Therefore measuring the inside diameter of the cylinder bore with a
dial Bore Gauge is MANDATORY. To correctly select the proper size piston, a cylinder bore gauge
capable of reading in 0.003 mm (.0001 in.) increments is required.
5. Piston installation into the cylinder bore requires slightly more pressure than that required for
non-coated pistons. The bonded coating on the
piston will give the appearance of a line-to-line fit with the cylinder bore.

Rocker Arm Assembly: Testing and Inspection
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - HYDRAULIC LASH ADJUSTER
A tappet-like noise may be produced from several items. Check the following items.
1. Engine oil level too high or too low. This may cause aerated oil to enter the adjusters and cause
them to be spongy. 2. Insufficient running time after rebuilding cylinder head. Low speed running
up to 1 hour may be required. 3. Turn engine off and let set for a few minutes before restarting.
Repeat this several times after engine has reached normal operating temperature. 4. Low oil
pressure. 5. The oil restrictor in cylinder head gasket or the oil passage to the cylinder head is
plugged with debris. 6. Air ingested into oil due to broken or cracked oil pump pick up. 7. Worn
valve guides. 8. Rocker arm ears contacting valve spring retainer. 9. Rocker arm loose, adjuster
stuck or at maximum extension and still leaves lash in the system.
10. Oil leak or excessive cam bore wear in cylinder head. 11. Faulty lash adjuster.
- Check lash adjusters for sponginess while installed in cylinder head and cam on camshaft at base
circle. Depress part of rocker arm over adjuster. Normal adjusters should feel very firm. Spongy
adjusters can be bottomed out easily.
- Remove suspected lash adjusters, and replace.
- Before installation, make sure adjusters are at least partially full of oil. This can be verified by little
or no plunger travel when lash adjuster is depressed.

Drive Belt: Testing and Inspection
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
VISUAL DIAGNOSIS
NOTE: Diesel Engine - If a belt is broken or frayed, inspect engine speed sensor ( located near the
crankshaft damper) for damage.
When diagnosing serpentine accessory drive belts, small cracks that run across the ribbed surface
of the belt from rib to rib , are considered normal. These are not a reason to replace the belt.
However, cracks running along a rib (not across) are not normal. Any belt with cracks running
along a rib must be replaced. Also replace the belt if it has excessive wear, frayed cords or severe
glazing.
Refer to ACCESSORY DRIVE BELT DIAGNOSIS CHART for further belt diagnosis.
NOISE DIAGNOSIS
Noises generated by the accessory drive belt are most noticeable at idle. Before replacing a belt to
resolve a noise condition, inspect all of the accessory drive pulleys for alignment, glazing, or
excessive end play.

DISCUSSION:
Chrysler Group vehicle fluid systems do NOT require regular flushing. These systems include:
engine oil, transmission oil, axle lube, brake fluid, power steering fluid, and refrigerant. The only
exception to this requirement are published in the vehicle maintenance schedules, e.g. engine
coolant.
Exceptions to this recommendation include only those instances where a failure has occurred
and/or the system has become compromised, contaminated or overheated beyond the normal
operating range.
Chrysler Group does NOT recommend aftermarket chemicals to flush the engine, transmission,
brake or steering systems. Chemicals contained in these products can damage the system
elastomeric components, and contaminate the component fluid, leading to loss of
system/component durability and service life. When necessary, only the original approved system
fluid should be used to flush these components using teamPSE(R) approved equipment.
If the engine coolant contains a considerable amount of sediment, clean and flush with Mopar
Cooling System Flush, p/n 04856977, or equivalent. Follow with a thorough rinsing to remove all
deposits and chemicals. Refill with a minimum of a 50% mixture of the specified coolant and
distilled water.

ENGINE OIL
WARNING: New or used engine oil can be irritating to the skin. Avoid prolonged or repeated skin
contact with engine oil. Contaminants in used engine oil, caused by internal combustion, can be
hazardous to your health. Thoroughly wash exposed skin with soap and water. Do not wash skin
with gasoline, diesel fuel, thinner, or solvents, health problems can result. Do not pollute, dispose
of used engine oil properly. Contact your dealer or government agency for location of collection
center in your area.
Only lubricants bearing designations defined by the following organization should be used.
- Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE)
- American Petroleum Institute (API)
- National Lubricating Grease Institute (NLGI)
- Association des Constructeurs EuropA■©ens d' Automobiles (European Automobile
Manufacturers Association) (ACEA)
API SERVICE GRADE CERTIFIED
Use an engine oil that is API Certified. MOPAR(R) provides engine oils, that meet or exceed this
requirement.
SAE VISCOSITY
An SAE viscosity grade is used to specify the viscosity of engine oil. Use only engine oils with
multiple viscosities such as 5W-20 or 5W-30. These are specified with a dual SAE viscosity grade
which indicates the cold-to-hot temperature viscosity range. Select an engine oil that is best suited
to your particular temperature range and variation. For 3.7L/4.7L engines SAE 5W-20 engine oil is
recommended for all operating temperatures. For 5.7L engines SAE 5W-20 engine oil is
recommended for all operating temperatures.These engine oils improve low temperature starting
and vehicle fuel economy. Refer to your engine oil filler cap for the recommended engine oil
viscosity for your vehicle. Vehicles with 5.7L engines equipped with Multiple Displacement System
(MDS) must use SAE 5W-20 oil. Failure to do so may result in improper operation of the Multiple
Displacement System (MDS). Refer to the engine oil filler cap for the recommended engine oil
viscosity for each vehicle.
ACEA Categories
For countries that use the ACEA European Oil Categories for Service Fill Oils, use engine oils that
meet the requirements of ACEA A1/B1, A2/B2, or A3/B3.
ENERGY CONSERVING OIL
An Energy Conserving type oil is recommended for gasoline engines. The designation of ENERGY
CONSERVING is located on the label of an engine oil container.
CONTAINER IDENTIFICATION

Standard engine oil identification notations have been adopted to aid in the proper selection of
engine oil. The identifying notations are located on the front label of engine oil plastic bottles and
the top of engine oil cans.
This symbol means that the oil has been certified by the American Petroleum Institute (API).
Daimler/Chrysler only recommend API Certified engine oils. Use Mopar(R) engine oil or equivalent.
SYNTHETIC ENGINE OILS
There are a number of engine oils being promoted as either synthetic or semi-synthetic. If you
chose to use such a product, use only those oils that meet the American Petroleum Institute (API)
and SAE viscosity standard. Follow the service schedule that describes your driving type.
ENGINE OIL ADDITIVES/SUPPLEMENTS
The manufacturer does not recommend the addition of any engine oil additives/supplements to the
specified engine oil. Engine oil additives/supplements should not be used to enhance engine oil
performance. Engine oil additives/supplements should not be used to extend engine oil change
intervals. No additive is known to be safe for engine durability and can degrade emission
components. Additives can contain undesirable materials that harm the long term durability of
engines by:
- Doubling the level of phosphorus in the engine oil. The ILSAC (International Lubricant Standard
Approval Committee) GF-2 and GF-3 standards require that engine oil contain no more than 0.10%
phosphorus to protect the vehicles emissions performance. Addition of engine oil
additives/supplements can poison, from the added sulfur and phosphorus, catalysts and hinder
efforts to guarantee emissions performance to 80,000 miles.
- Altering the viscosity characteristics of the engine oil so that it no longer meets the requirements
of the specified viscosity grade.
- Creating potential for an undesirable additive compatibility interaction in the engine crankcase.
Generally it is not desirable to mix additive packages from different suppliers in the crankcase;
there have been reports of low temperature engine failures caused by additive package
incompatibility with such mixtures.

Engine Oil: Description and Operation Engine Oil - Flexible Fuel Engines
FLEXIBLE FUEL ENGINE OIL
This information is for Flexible Fuel Vehicles (FFV) only. These vehicles can be identified by the
unique Fuel Filler Door Label that states Ethanol (E-85) or Unleaded Gasoline Only. This
information only covers those subjects that are unique to these vehicles.
ETHANOL FUEL (E-85)
E-85 is a mixture of approximately 85% fuel ethanol and 15% unleaded gasoline.
WARNING: Ethanol vapors are extremely flammable and could cause serious personal injury.
Never have any smoking materials lit in or near the vehicle when removing the fuel filler tube cap
(gas cap) or filling the tank. Do not use E-85 as a cleaning agent and never use it near an open
flame.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS
The vehicle will operate on both unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87, or E-85 fuel, or any
mixture of these two.
For best results, a refueling pattern that alternates between E-85 and unleaded gasoline should be
avoided. When you do switch fuels, it is recommended that
- you do not switch when the fuel gauge indicates less than 1/4 full
- you do not add less than 5 gallons when refueling
- you operate the vehicle immediately after refueling for a period of at least 5 minutes
Observing these precautions will avoid possible hard starting and/or significant deterioration in
driveability during warm up.
FFV STARTING
The characteristics of E-85 fuel make it unsuitable for use when ambient temperatures fall below
-18°C (0°F). In the range of -18°C (0°F) to 0°C (32°F), you may experience an increase in the time
it takes for your engine to start, and a deterioration in driveability (sags and/or hesitations) until the
engine is fully warmed up.
Engine Operating on E-85 Fuel
If vehicle operates on E-85 fuel either full or part-time, use only Mopar(R) Flexible Fuel 5W-30
engine oil or an equivalent that meets DaimlerChrysler Standard MS-9214. Equivalent commercial
Flexible Fuel engine oils may be labeled as Multi-Fuel, Variable Fuel, Flexible Fuel, etc. These
engine oils may be satisfactory if they meet the DaimlerChrysler Standard.
SAE 5W-30 engine oil is preferred for use in Flexible Fuel engines.
CAUTION: If Flexible Fuel engine oil is not used when using E-85 fuel, engine wear or damage
may result.
CRUISING RANGE
Because E-85 fuel contains less energy per gallon than gasoline, you will experience an increase
in fuel consumption. You can expect your MPG and your driving range to decrease by about 30%
compared to gasoline operation.

Engine Oil: Service and Repair
STANDARD PROCEDURE - ENGINE OIL SERVICE
The engine oil level indicator (2) is located at the right rear of the engine on the 4.7L engines.
CRANKCASE OIL LEVEL INSPECTION
CAUTION: Do not overfill crankcase with engine oil, pressure loss or oil foaming can result.
Inspect engine oil level approximately every 800 kilometers (500 miles). Unless the engine has
exhibited loss of oil pressure, run the engine for about five minutes before checking oil level.
Checking engine oil level on a cold engine is not accurate.
To ensure proper lubrication of an engine, the engine oil must be maintained at an acceptable
level. The acceptable levels are indicated between the ADD and SAFE marks on the engine oil
dipstick.
1. Position vehicle on level surface. 2. With engine OFF, allow approximately ten minutes for oil to
settle to bottom of crankcase, remove engine oil dipstick. 3. Wipe dipstick clean. 4. Install dipstick
and verify it is seated in the tube. 5. Remove dipstick, with handle held above the tip, take oil level
reading. 6. Add oil only if level is below the ADD mark on dipstick.
ENGINE OIL CHANGE

Oil Pressure Gauge: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
An oil pressure gauge is standard equipment on all instrument clusters except for ST vehicles with
a gasoline engine. This gauge is located in the upper right quadrant of the instrument cluster,
above the coolant temperature gauge. This gauge consists of a movable gauge needle or pointer
controlled by the instrument cluster circuitry and a fixed 90 degree scale on the cluster overlay that
reads left-to-right from L (or Low) to H (or High) for gasoline engines. On vehicles with a diesel
engine the scale reads from 0 kPa to 760 kPa in markets where a metric instrument cluster is
specified, or from 0 psi to 110 psi in all other markets.
An International Control and Display Symbol icon for Engine Oil is located on the cluster overlay,
directly below the left end of the gauge scale. The oil pressure gauge graphics are black against a
white field except for a single red graduation at the low end of the gauge scale making them clearly
visible within the instrument cluster in daylight. When illuminated from behind by the panel lamps
dimmer controlled cluster general illumination lighting with the exterior lamps turned ON, the black
graphics appear blue-green and the red graphics still appear red. The gauge needle has internal
optical illumination. Gauge illumination is provided by replaceable incandescent bulb and holder
units located on the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
The oil pressure gauge is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Oil Pressure Gauge: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The oil pressure gauge gives an indication to the vehicle operator of the engine oil pressure. This
gauge is controlled by the instrument cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming and
electronic messages received by the cluster from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) on vehicles
with a gasoline engine, or from the Engine Control Module (ECM) on vehicles equipped with a
diesel engine over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The oil pressure gauge is an air core magnetic unit that receives battery current on the instrument
cluster electronic circuit board through the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit whenever
the ignition switch is in the ON or START positions. The cluster is programmed to move the gauge
needle back to the low end of the scale after the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position. The
instrument cluster circuitry controls the gauge needle position and provides the following features:
- Engine Oil Pressure Message - The instrument cluster circuitry restricts the oil pressure gauge
needle operation in order to provide readings that are consistent with customer expectations. Each
time the cluster receives an electronic engine oil pressure message from the PCM or ECM
indicating the pressure is above about 41 kPa (6 psi) the cluster holds the gauge needle at a point
near the middle increment within the normal range on the gauge scale.
Engine Oil Pressure Low Message - Each time the cluster receives three consecutive electronic
engine oil pressure messages from the PCM or ECM indicating the pressure is below about 41 kPa
(6 psi), the gauge needle is moved to the red graduation at the far left end of the gauge scale, the
check gauges indicator is illuminated, and a single chime tone is generated. The gauge needle
remains at the left end of the gauge scale and the check gauges indicator remains illuminated until
the cluster receives a message from the PCM or ECM indicating that the pressure is above about
41 kPa (6 psi), or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first. The
cluster will only turn ON the check gauges indicator in response to a low pressure message if the
engine speed is greater than zero.
- Communication Error - If the cluster fails to receive an engine oil pressure message, it will hold
the gauge needle at the last indication for about 10 seconds, or until the ignition switch is turned to
the OFF position, whichever occurs first. After 10 seconds, the cluster will move the gauge needle
to the low end of the gauge scale.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the oil pressure gauge
needle will be swept to several calibration points on the gauge scale in a prescribed sequence in
order to confirm the functionality of the gauge and the cluster control circuitry.
The PCM (gasoline engines) or ECM (diesel engines) continually monitors the engine oil pressure
sensor to determine the engine oil pressure. The PCM or ECM then sends the proper messages to
the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment
Node/CCN). If the instrument cluster turns ON the check gauges indicator due to a low oil pressure
gauge reading, it may indicate that the engine or the engine oiling system requires service.
For proper diagnosis of the engine oil pressure sensor, the PCM, the ECM, the EMIC, the CAN
data bus or the electronic communication related to oil pressure gauge operation a diagnostic scan
tool is required.

Oil Pressure Warning Lamp/Indicator: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
A low oil pressure indicator is standard equipment only in the four-gauge instrument clusters of all
ST vehicles with a gasoline engine. This indicator is located on the left side of the instrument
cluster, to the left of the fuel gauge.
The low oil pressure indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the International Control and
Display Symbol icon for Engine Oil in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster overlay. The dark
outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated.
A red Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the overlay causes the
icon to appear in red through the translucent outer layer of the overlay when it is illuminated from
behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
The low oil pressure indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Oil Pressure Warning Lamp/Indicator: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The low oil pressure indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the engine oil
pressure reading reflects a condition requiring immediate attention. This indicator is controlled by a
transistor on the instrument cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming and electronic
messages received by the cluster from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) over the Controller
Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The low oil pressure indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument
cluster logic circuit, and that logic will only allow this indicator to operate when the instrument
cluster receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit.
Therefore, the LED will always be OFF when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or
START. The LED only illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster
transistor. The instrument cluster will turn ON the low oil pressure indicator for the following
reasons:
- Engine Oil Pressure Low Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic engine oil
pressure message from the PCM indicating the pressure is about 6.9 kPa (1 psi) or lower, the low
oil pressure indicator will be illuminated. The indicator remains illuminated until the cluster receives
a message from the PCM indicating that the pressure is above about 6.9 kPa (1 psi), or until the
ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first. The cluster will only turn the
indicator ON in response to low engine oil pressure if the engine speed is greater than zero.
Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the low oil pressure indicator
will be turned ON, then OFF again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the
functionality of the LED and the cluster control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the engine oil pressure sensor to determine the engine oil pressure.
The PCM then sends the proper messages to the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC)
(also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN). For further diagnosis of the low oil pressure
indicator or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the LED, Refer to appropriate testing.
For proper diagnosis of the engine oil pressure sensor, the PCM, the EMIC, the CAN data bus or
the electronic communication related to low oil pressure indicator operation a diagnostic scan tool
is required. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

A red Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the overlay causes the
icon to appear in red through the translucent outer layer of the overlay when it is illuminated from
behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
The low oil pressure indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Oil Pressure Warning Lamp/Indicator: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The low oil pressure indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the engine oil
pressure reading reflects a condition requiring immediate attention. This indicator is controlled by a
transistor on the instrument cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming and electronic
messages received by the cluster from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) over the Controller
Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The low oil pressure indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument
cluster logic circuit, and that logic will only allow this indicator to operate when the instrument
cluster receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit.
Therefore, the LED will always be OFF when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or
START. The LED only illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster
transistor. The instrument cluster will turn ON the low oil pressure indicator for the following
reasons:
- Engine Oil Pressure Low Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic engine oil
pressure message from the PCM indicating the pressure is about 6.9 kPa (1 psi) or lower, the low
oil pressure indicator will be illuminated. The indicator remains illuminated until the cluster receives
a message from the PCM indicating that the pressure is above about 6.9 kPa (1 psi), or until the
ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first. The cluster will only turn the
indicator ON in response to low engine oil pressure if the engine speed is greater than zero.
Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the low oil pressure indicator
will be turned ON, then OFF again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the
functionality of the LED and the cluster control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the engine oil pressure sensor to determine the engine oil pressure.
The PCM then sends the proper messages to the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC)
(also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN). For further diagnosis of the low oil pressure
indicator or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the LED, Refer to appropriate testing.
For proper diagnosis of the engine oil pressure sensor, the PCM, the EMIC, the CAN data bus or
the electronic communication related to low oil pressure indicator operation a diagnostic scan tool
is required. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Crankshaft Main Bearing Seal: Testing and Inspection
REAR SEAL AREA LEAKS
Since it is sometimes difficult to determine the source of an oil leak in the rear seal area of the
engine, a more involved inspection is necessary. The following steps should be followed to help
pinpoint the source of the leak.
If the leakage occurs at the crankshaft rear oil seal area:
1. Disconnect the battery. 2. Raise the vehicle. 3. Remove torque converter or clutch housing cover
and inspect rear of block for evidence of oil. Use a black light to check for the oil leak:
a. Circular spray pattern generally indicates seal leakage or crankshaft damage. b. Where leakage
tends to run straight down, possible causes are a porous block, oil galley pipe plugs, oil filter runoff,
and main bearing cap to
cylinder block mating surfaces. See Engine, for proper repair procedures of these items.
4. If no leaks are detected, pressurize the crankcase as outlined in, Inspection (Engine oil Leaks in
general)
CAUTION: Do not exceed 20.6 kPa (3 psi).
5. If the leak is not detected, very slowly turn the crankshaft and watch for leakage. If a leak is
detected between the crankshaft and seal while slowly
turning the crankshaft, it is possible the crankshaft seal surface is damaged. The seal area on the
crankshaft could have minor nicks or scratches that can be polished out with emery cloth.
CAUTION: Use extreme caution when crankshaft polishing is necessary to remove minor nicks or
scratches. The crankshaft seal flange is specially machined to complement the function of the rear
oil seal.
6. For bubbles that remain steady with shaft rotation, no further inspection can be done until
disassembled. Refer to appropriate testing. 7. After the oil leak root cause and appropriate
corrective action have been identified, See: Service and Repair/Removal .

Water Pump
WATER PUMP
A centrifugal water pump circulates coolant through the water jackets, passages, intake manifold,
radiator core, cooling system hoses and heater core. The pump is driven from the engine
crankshaft by a single serpentine drive belt.
The water pump impeller is pressed onto the rear of a shaft that rotates in bearings pressed into
the housing. The housing has two small holes to allow seepage to escape. The water pump seals
are lubricated by the antifreeze in the coolant mixture. No additional lubrication is necessary.
Water Pump Bypass
WATER PUMP BYPASS
The 3.7L and 4.7L engine uses an internal water/coolant bypass system. The design uses galleries
in the timing chain cover to circulate coolant during

Water Pump
WATER PUMP
A centrifugal water pump circulates coolant through the water jackets, passages, intake manifold,
radiator core, cooling system hoses and heater core, this coolant absorbs the heat generated when
the engine is running. The pump is driven by the engine crankshaft via a drive belt.
Water Pump Bypass - 3.7L/4.7L
WATER PUMP BYPASS - 3.7L/4.7L
When the thermostat is in the closed position the bypass gallery is not obstructed allowing 100%
flow. When the thermostat is in the open position the pill partially covers the bypass hole, reducing
the amount of bypass flow. This design allows the coolant to reach operating temperature quickly
when cold, while adding extra cooling during normal temperature operation.

DISCUSSION:
Chrysler Group vehicle fluid systems do NOT require regular flushing. These systems include:
engine oil, transmission oil, axle lube, brake fluid, power steering fluid, and refrigerant. The only
exception to this requirement are published in the vehicle maintenance schedules, e.g. engine
coolant.
Exceptions to this recommendation include only those instances where a failure has occurred
and/or the system has become compromised, contaminated or overheated beyond the normal
operating range.
Chrysler Group does NOT recommend aftermarket chemicals to flush the engine, transmission,
brake or steering systems. Chemicals contained in these products can damage the system
elastomeric components, and contaminate the component fluid, leading to loss of
system/component durability and service life. When necessary, only the original approved system
fluid should be used to flush these components using teamPSE(R) approved equipment.
If the engine coolant contains a considerable amount of sediment, clean and flush with Mopar
Cooling System Flush, p/n 04856977, or equivalent. Follow with a thorough rinsing to remove all
deposits and chemicals. Refill with a minimum of a 50% mixture of the specified coolant and
distilled water.

Coolant: Description and Operation Engine Coolant
ENGINE COOLANT
WARNING: Antifreeze is an ethylene-glycol base coolant and is harmful if swallowed or inhaled. If
swallowed, drink two glasses of water and induce vomiting. If inhaled, move to fresh air area. Seek
medical attention immediately. Do not store in open or unmarked containers. Wash skin and
clothing thoroughly after coming in contact with ethylene-glycol. Keep out of reach of children.
Dispose of glycol base coolant properly, contact your dealer or government agency for location of
collection center in your area. Do not open a cooling system when the engine is at operating
temperature or hot under pressure, personal injury can result. Avoid radiator cooling fan when
engine compartment related service is performed, personal injury can result.
CAUTION: Use of Propylene-Glycol based coolants is not recommended, as they provide less
freeze protection and less corrosion protection.
The cooling system is designed around the coolant. The coolant must accept heat from engine
metal, in the cylinder head area near the exhaust valves and engine block. Then coolant carries the
heat to the radiator where the tube/fin radiator can transfer the heat to the air.
The use of aluminum cylinder blocks, cylinder heads, and water pumps requires special corrosion
protection. Mopar(R) Antifreeze/Coolant, 5 Year/100,000 Mile Formula (MS-9769), or the
equivalent ethylene-glycol base coolant with organic corrosion inhibitors (called HOAT, for Hybrid
Organic Additive Technology) is recommended. This coolant offers the best engine cooling without
corrosion when mixed with 50% ethylene-glycol and 50% distilled water to obtain a freeze point of
-37°C (-35°F). If it loses color or becomes contaminated, drain, flush, and replace with fresh
properly mixed coolant solution.
CAUTION: Mopar(R) Antifreeze/Coolant, 5 Year/100,000 Mile Formula (MS-9769) may not be
mixed with any other type of antifreeze. Mixing of coolants other than specified (non-HOAT or other
HOAT) may result in engine damage that may not be covered under the new vehicle warranty, and
decreased corrosion protection.
COOLANT PERFORMANCE
The required ethylene-glycol and water mixture depends upon climate and vehicle operating
conditions. The coolant performance of various mixtures follows:
Pure Water- Water can absorb more heat than a mixture of water and ethylene-glycol. This is for
purpose of heat transfer only. Water also freezes at a higher temperature and allows corrosion.
100 percent Ethylene-Glycol - The corrosion inhibiting additives in ethylene-glycol need the
presence of water to dissolve. Without water, additives form deposits in system. These act as
insulation causing temperature to rise to as high as 149°C (300°F). This temperature is hot enough
to melt plastic. The increased temperature can result in sever engine damage. In addition, 100
percent ethylene-glycol freezes at -22°C (-8°F).
50/50 Ethylene-Glycol and Water - Is the recommended mixture, it provides protection against
freezing to -37°C (-34°F). The antifreeze concentration must always be a minimum of 44 percent,
year-round in all climates. If percentage is lower, engine parts may be eroded by cavitation.
Maximum protection against freezing is provided with a 68 percent antifreeze concentration, which
prevents freezing down to -67.7°C (-90°F). A higher percentage will freeze at a warmer
temperature. Also, a higher percentage of antifreeze can cause the engine to overheat because
specific heat of antifreeze is lower than that of water.
CAUTION: Richer antifreeze mixtures cannot be measured with normal field equipment and can
cause problems associated with 100 percent ethylene-glycol.

WARNING: Antifreeze is an ethylene-glycol base coolant and is harmful if swallowed or inhaled. If
swallowed, drink two glasses of water and induce vomiting. If inhaled, move to fresh air area. Seek
medical attention immediately. Do not store in open or unmarked containers. Wash skin and
clothing thoroughly after coming in contact with ethylene-glycol. Keep out of reach of children.
Dispose of glycol based coolant properly, contact your dealer or government agency for location of
collection center in your area. Do not open a cooling system when the engine is at operating
temperature or hot under pressure, personal injury can result. Avoid radiator cooling fan when
engine compartment related service is performed, personal injury can result.
CAUTION: Use of Propylene-Glycol based coolants is not recommended, as they provide less
freeze protection and less corrosion protection.
The cooling system is designed around the coolant. The coolant must accept heat from engine
metal, in the cylinder head area near the exhaust valves and engine block. Then coolant carries the
heat to the radiator where the tube/fin radiator can transfer the heat to the air.
The use of aluminum cylinder blocks, cylinder heads, and water pumps requires special corrosion
protection. Mopar(R) Antifreeze/Coolant, 5 Year/100,000 Mile Formula (MS-9769), or the
equivalent ethylene-glycol base coolant with organic corrosion inhibitors (called HOAT, for Hybrid
Organic Additive Technology) is recommended. This coolant offers the best engine cooling without
corrosion when mixed with 50% ethylene-glycol and 50% distilled water to obtain a freeze point of
-37°C (-35°F). If it loses color or becomes contaminated, drain, flush, and replace with fresh
properly mixed coolant solution.
CAUTION: Mopar(R) Antifreeze/Coolant, 5 Year/100,000 Mile Formula (MS-9769) may not be
mixed with any other type of antifreeze. Mixing of coolants other than specified (non-HOAT or other
HOAT) may result in engine damage that may not be covered under the new vehicle warranty, and
decreased corrosion protection.
COOLANT PERFORMANCE
The required ethylene-glycol and water mixture depends upon climate and vehicle operating
conditions. The coolant performance of various mixtures follows:
Pure Water- Water can absorb more heat than a mixture of water and ethylene-glycol. This is for
purpose of heat transfer only. Water also freezes at a higher temperature and allows corrosion.
100 percent Ethylene-Glycol - The corrosion inhibiting additives in ethylene-glycol need the
presence of water to dissolve. Without water, additives form deposits in system. These act as
insulation causing temperature to rise to as high as 149°C (300°F). This temperature is hot enough
to melt plastic. The increased temperature can result in severe engine damage. In addition, 100
percent ethylene-glycol freezes at -22°C (-8°F).
50/50 Ethylene-Glycol and Water - Is the recommended mixture, it provides protection against
freezing to -37°C (-34°F). The antifreeze concentration must always be a minimum of 44 percent,
year-round in all climates. If percentage is lower, engine parts may be eroded by cavitation.
Maximum protection against freezing is provided with a 68 percent antifreeze concentration, which
prevents freezing down to -67.7°C (-90°F). A higher percentage will freeze at a warmer
temperature. Also, a higher percentage of antifreeze can cause the engine to overheat because
specific heat of antifreeze is lower than that of water.
CAUTION: Richer antifreeze mixtures cannot be measured with normal field equipment and can
cause problems associated with 100 percent ethylene-glycol.
Operation
OPERATION
Coolant flows through the engine block, cylinder head, absorbing the heat from the engine, then
flows to the radiator where the cooling fins in the radiator transfers the heat from the coolant to the
atmosphere. On the 6.7L diesel engine, coolant also flows through the EGR cooler and
turbocharger actuator. During cold weather the ethylene-glycol or propylene-glycol coolant
prevents water present in the cooling system from freezing within temperatures indicated by
mixture ratio of coolant to water.

Coolant: Testing and Inspection
COOLANT CONCENTRATION TESTING
Coolant concentration should be checked when any additional coolant was added to system or
after a coolant drain, flush and refill. The coolant mixture offers optimum engine cooling and
protection against corrosion when mixed to a freeze point of -37°C (-34°F) to -46°C (-50°F). The
use of a hydrometer or Tool 8266, refractometer can be used to test coolant concentration.
A hydrometer will test the amount of glycol in a mixture by measuring the specific gravity of the
mixture. The higher the concentration of ethylene glycol, the larger the number of balls that will
float, and higher the freeze protection (up to a maximum of 60% by volume glycol).
A Refractometer Tool 8286 will test the amount of glycol in a coolant mixture by measuring the
amount a beam of light bends as it passes through the fluid.
Some coolant manufactures use other types of glycols into their coolant formulations. Propylene
glycol is the most common new coolant. However, propylene glycol based coolants do not provide
the same freezing protection and corrosion protection and are not recommended.
CAUTION: Do not mix types of coolant - corrosion protection will be severely reduced.

Coolant Reservoir: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The coolant reserve/overflow tank is mounted on top of the fan shroud, and is made of high
temperature plastic.

Coolant Reservoir: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The coolant reserve/overflow system works in conjunction with the radiator pressure cap. It utilizes
thermal expansion and contraction of coolant to keep coolant free of trapped air. It provides a
volume for expansion and contraction of coolant. It also provides a convenient and safe method for
checking coolant level and adjusting level at atmospheric pressure. This is done without removing
the radiator pressure cap. The system also provides some reserve coolant to the radiator to cover
minor leaks and evaporation or boiling losses.
As the engine cools, a vacuum is formed in the cooling system of both the radiator and engine.
Coolant will then be drawn from the coolant tank and returned to a proper level in the radiator.

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
All switches, components, and modules are shown in the at rest position with the doors closed and
the key removed from the ignition.
Components are shown two ways. A solid line around a component indicates that the component is
complete. A dashed line around the component indicates that the component is being shown is not
complete. Incomplete components have a reference number to indicate the page where the
component is shown complete.
It is important to realize that no attempt is made on the diagrams to represent components and
wiring as they appear on the vehicle. For example, a short piece of wire is treated the same as a
long one. In addition, switches and other components are shown as simply as possible, with regard
to function only.

Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- Ohmmeter - Used to check the resistance between two points of a circuit. Low or no resistance in
a circuit means good continuity.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking resistance in these circuits use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
In addition, make sure the power is disconnected from the circuit. Circuits that are powered up by
the vehicle's electrical system can cause damage to the equipment and provide false readings.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Cooling System > Radiator Cooling Fan > Radiator Cooling
Fan Motor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3050
- Probing Tools - These tools are used for probing terminals in connectors. Select the proper size
tool from Special Tool Package 6807, and insert the probing end (2) into the terminal being tested.
Use the other end of the tool (1) to insert the meter probe.
INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent electrical problems are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. It is also
possible for a sticking component or relay to cause a problem. Before condemning a component or
wiring assembly, check the following items.
- Connectors are fully seated
- Spread terminals, or terminal push out
- Terminals in the wiring assembly are fully seated into the connector/component and locked into
position
- Dirt or corrosion on the terminals. Any amount of corrosion or dirt could cause an intermittent
problem
- Damaged connector/component casing exposing the item to dirt or moisture
- Wire insulation that has rubbed through causing a short to ground
- Some or all of the wiring strands broken inside of the insulation
- Wiring broken inside of the insulation
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are six steps which can aid in the procedure. The
steps are listed and explained below. Always check for non-factory items added to the vehicle
before doing any diagnosis. If the vehicle is equipped with these items, disconnect them to verify
these add-on items are not the cause of the problem.
1. Verify the problem. 2. Verify any related symptoms. Do this by performing operational checks on
components that are in the same circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams. 3. Analyze the symptoms.
Use the wiring diagrams to determine what the circuit is doing, where the problem most likely is
occurring and where the
diagnosis will continue.
4. Isolate the problem area. 5. Repair the problem area. 6. Verify the proper operation. For this
step, check for proper operation of all items on the repaired circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams.

Heater Core: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
Engine coolant is circulated through the heater hoses to the heater core at all times. As the coolant
flows through the heater core, heat is removed from the engine and is transferred to the heater
core tubes and fins. Air directed through the heater core picks up the heat from the heater core
fins. The blend-air door(s) allows control of the heater output air temperature by regulating the
amount of air flowing through the heater core. The blower motor speed controls the volume of air
flowing through the HVAC housing.
The heater core cannot be repaired and must be replaced if restricted, leaking or damaged.

Temperature Gauge: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
An engine coolant temperature gauge is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. The engine
coolant temperature gauge is located in the lower right quadrant of the instrument cluster, below
the oil pressure gauge. The gauge consists of a movable gauge needle or pointer controlled by the
instrument cluster circuitry and a fixed 90 degree scale on the cluster overlay that reads left-to-right
from C (or Cold) to H (or Hot) for gasoline engines. On vehicles with a diesel engine, the scale
reads from 60 °C to 120 °C in markets where a metric instrument cluster is specified, or from 140
°F to 245 °F in all other markets. An International Control and Display Symbol icon for Engine
Coolant Temperature is located on the cluster overlay, directly below the left end of the gauge
scale.
The engine coolant temperature gauge graphics are black against a white field except for a single
red graduation at the high end of the gauge scale making them clearly visible within the instrument
cluster in daylight. When illuminated from behind by the panel lamps dimmer controlled cluster
illumination lighting with the exterior lamps turned ON, the black gauge graphics appear blue-green
and the red graphics still appear red. The gauge needle has internal optical illumination. Gauge
illumination is provided by replaceable incandescent bulb and holder units located on the
instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
The engine coolant temperature gauge is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Temperature Gauge: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The engine coolant temperature gauge gives an indication to the vehicle operator of the engine
coolant temperature. This gauge is controlled by the instrument cluster circuit board based upon
cluster programming and electronic messages received by the cluster from the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM) on vehicles equipped with a gasoline engine, or the Engine Control Module (ECM)
on vehicles equipped with a diesel engine over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The engine coolant temperature gauge is an air core magnetic unit that receives battery current on
the instrument cluster electronic circuit board through the fused ignition switch output (run-start)
circuit whenever the ignition switch is in the ON or START positions. The cluster is programmed to
move the gauge needle back to the low end of the scale after the ignition switch is turned to the
OFF position. The instrument cluster circuitry controls the gauge needle position and provides the
following features:
- Engine Temperature Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic engine temperature
message from the PCM or ECM indicating the temperature is between the low end of normal
[about 54 °C (130 °F) for gasoline engines, or about 60 °C (140 °F) for diesel engines] and the high
end of normal [about 122 °C (252 °F) for gasoline engines, or about 116 °C (240 °F) for diesel
engines], the gauge needle is moved to the actual relative temperature position on the gauge
scale.
Engine Temperature Low Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic engine
temperature message from the PCM or ECM indicating the temperature is below the low end of
normal [about 54 °C (130 °F) for gasoline engines, or about 60 °C (140 °F) for diesel engines], the
gauge needle is held at the graduation on the far left end of the gauge scale. The gauge needle
remains at the low end of the gauge scale until the cluster receives a message from the PCM or
ECM indicating the temperature is above about 54 °C (130 °F) for gasoline engines, or about 60 °
C (140 °F) for diesel engines, or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever
occurs first.
- Engine Temperature High Message - Each time the cluster receives three consecutive electronic
engine temperature messages from the PCM or ECM indicating the temperature is above about
122 °C (252 °F) for gasoline engines, or about 116 °C (240 °F) for diesel engines, the gauge
needle is moved to the red increment or zone at the far right end of gauge scale, the check gauges
indicator is illuminated, and a single chime tone is sounded. The gauge needle remains at the high
end of the gauge scale and the check gauges indicator remains illuminated until the cluster
receives a message from the PCM or ECM indicating that the temperature is below about 122 °C
(252 °F) for gasoline engines, or about 116 °C (240 °F) for diesel engines, or until the ignition
switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first. The chime tone feature will only repeat
during the same ignition cycle if the check gauges indicator is cycled OFF and then ON again by
the appropriate messages from the PCM or ECM.
- Communication Error - If the cluster fails to receive an engine temperature message, it will hold
the gauge needle at the last indication for about 10 seconds or until the ignition switch is turned to
the OFF position, whichever occurs first. After 10 seconds, the cluster will move the gauge needle
to the low end of the gauge scale.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the engine coolant
temperature gauge needle will be swept to several calibration points on the gauge scale in a
prescribed sequence in order to confirm the functionality of the gauge and the cluster control
circuitry.
The PCM (gasoline engine) or ECM (diesel engine) continually monitors the engine coolant
temperature sensor to determine the engine operating temperature. The PCM or ECM then sends
the proper messages to the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab
Compartment Node/CCN). If the instrument cluster turns ON the check gauges indicator due to a
high engine temperature gauge reading, it may indicate that the engine or the engine cooling
system requires service.
For proper diagnosis of the engine coolant temperature sensor, the PCM, the ECM, the EMIC, the
CAN data bus or the electronic communication related to engine coolant temperature gauge
operation a diagnostic scan tool is required.

Radiator: Testing and Inspection
RADIATOR COOLANT FLOW
Use the following procedure to determine if coolant is flowing through the cooling system.
1. Idle engine until operating temperature is reached. If the upper radiator hose is warm to the
touch, the thermostat is opening and coolant is flowing
to the radiator.
WARNING: Hot, pressurized coolant can cause injury by scalding. Using a rag to cover the radiator
pressure cap, open radiator cap slowly to the first stop. This will allow any built-up pressure to vent
to the reserve/overflow tank. After pressure build-up has been released, remove cap from filler
neck.
2. Drain a small amount of coolant from the radiator until the ends of the radiator tubes are visible
through the filler neck. Idle the engine at normal
operating temperature. If coolant is flowing past the exposed tubes, the coolant is circulating.

Radiator Cap: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
All cooling systems are equipped with a pressure cap. For all engines, the pressure cap is located
on top of the radiator outlet tank. The cap releases pressure at some point within a range of
97-to-124 kPa (14-to-18 psi). The pressure relief point (in pounds) is engraved on top of the cap
The cooling system will operate at pressures slightly above atmospheric pressure. This results in a
higher coolant boiling point allowing increased radiator cooling capacity. The cap contains a
spring-loaded pressure relief valve. This valve opens when system pressure reaches the release
range of 97-to-124 kPa (14-to-18 psi).
A rubber gasket seals the radiator filler neck. This is done to maintain vacuum during coolant
cool-down and to prevent leakage when system is under pressure.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Cooling System > Radiator Cap > Component Information >
Description and Operation > Description > Page 3097
Radiator Cap: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
A vent valve in the center of the cap will remain shut as long as the cooling system is pressurized.
As the coolant cools, it contracts and creates a vacuum in the cooling system. This causes the
vacuum valve to open and coolant in the reserve/overflow container to be drawn through the
recovery hose connecting the filler neck and reserve/overflow container. If the vacuum valve is
stuck shut, or the recovery hose is kinked, radiator hoses will collapse on cool down.

Radiator Cap: Testing and Inspection Radiator Cap
RADIATOR CAP
Remove the cap from the radiator. Be sure that the sealing surfaces are clean. Moisten the rubber
gasket with water and install the cap on the pressure tester 7700 or an equivalent.
Operate the tester pump to bring the pressure to 104 kPa (15 psi) on the gauge. If the pressure cap
fails to hold pressure of at least 97 kPa (14 psi) replace the cap.
CAUTION.
The pressure cap may test properly while positioned on tool 7700 (or equivalent). It may not hold
pressure or vacuum when installed on the radiator. If so, inspect the radiator filler neck and radiator
cap's top gasket for damage. Also inspect for dirt or distortion that may prevent the cap from
sealing properly.
CAUTION: Radiator pressure testing tools are very sensitive to small air leaks which will not cause
cooling system problems. A pressure cap that does not have a history of coolant loss should not be
replaced just because it leaks slowly when tested with this tool. Add water to tool. Turn tool upside
down and recheck pressure cap to confirm that cap needs replacement.

Radiator Cap: Testing and Inspection Radiator Cap To Filler Neck Seal
RADIATOR CAP-TO-FILLER NECK SEAL
The pressure cap upper gasket (seal) pressure relief can be tested by removing overflow hose
from the radiator filler neck tube. Attach the hose of the pressure tester tool 7700 (or equivalent) to
the tube. It will be necessary to disconnect hose from its adapter for the filler neck. Pump air into
radiator. The pressure cap upper gasket should relieve at 69 to 124kPa (10 to 18 psi) and hold
pressure at a minimum of 55 kPa (8 psi).
WARNING: The warning words, "DO NOT OPEN HOT", on radiator pressure cap, are a safety
precaution. When hot, pressure builds up in cooling system. To prevent scalding or injury, radiator
cap should not be removed while system is hot and/or under pressure.
Do not remove the radiator cap at any time except for the following purposes:
- Check and adjust antifreeze freeze point.
- Refill the system with new antifreeze.
- Conducting service procedures.
- Checking for vacuum leaks.
WARNING: If vehicle has been run recently, wait at least 15 minutes before removing radiator cap.
With a rag, squeeze radiator upper hose to check if system is under pressure. Place a rag over cap
and without pushing cap down, rotate it counter-clockwise to first stop. Allow fluid to escape
through the coolant reserve/overflow hose into reserve/overflow tank. Squeeze radiator upper hose
to determine when pressure has been released. When coolant and steam stop being pushed into
tank and system pressure drops, remove radiator cap completely.

Temperature Gauge: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The engine coolant temperature gauge gives an indication to the vehicle operator of the engine
coolant temperature. This gauge is controlled by the instrument cluster circuit board based upon
cluster programming and electronic messages received by the cluster from the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM) on vehicles equipped with a gasoline engine, or the Engine Control Module (ECM)
on vehicles equipped with a diesel engine over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The engine coolant temperature gauge is an air core magnetic unit that receives battery current on
the instrument cluster electronic circuit board through the fused ignition switch output (run-start)
circuit whenever the ignition switch is in the ON or START positions. The cluster is programmed to
move the gauge needle back to the low end of the scale after the ignition switch is turned to the
OFF position. The instrument cluster circuitry controls the gauge needle position and provides the
following features:
- Engine Temperature Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic engine temperature
message from the PCM or ECM indicating the temperature is between the low end of normal
[about 54 °C (130 °F) for gasoline engines, or about 60 °C (140 °F) for diesel engines] and the high
end of normal [about 122 °C (252 °F) for gasoline engines, or about 116 °C (240 °F) for diesel
engines], the gauge needle is moved to the actual relative temperature position on the gauge
scale.
Engine Temperature Low Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic engine
temperature message from the PCM or ECM indicating the temperature is below the low end of
normal [about 54 °C (130 °F) for gasoline engines, or about 60 °C (140 °F) for diesel engines], the
gauge needle is held at the graduation on the far left end of the gauge scale. The gauge needle
remains at the low end of the gauge scale until the cluster receives a message from the PCM or
ECM indicating the temperature is above about 54 °C (130 °F) for gasoline engines, or about 60 °
C (140 °F) for diesel engines, or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever
occurs first.
- Engine Temperature High Message - Each time the cluster receives three consecutive electronic
engine temperature messages from the PCM or ECM indicating the temperature is above about
122 °C (252 °F) for gasoline engines, or about 116 °C (240 °F) for diesel engines, the gauge
needle is moved to the red increment or zone at the far right end of gauge scale, the check gauges
indicator is illuminated, and a single chime tone is sounded. The gauge needle remains at the high
end of the gauge scale and the check gauges indicator remains illuminated until the cluster
receives a message from the PCM or ECM indicating that the temperature is below about 122 °C
(252 °F) for gasoline engines, or about 116 °C (240 °F) for diesel engines, or until the ignition
switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first. The chime tone feature will only repeat
during the same ignition cycle if the check gauges indicator is cycled OFF and then ON again by
the appropriate messages from the PCM or ECM.
- Communication Error - If the cluster fails to receive an engine temperature message, it will hold
the gauge needle at the last indication for about 10 seconds or until the ignition switch is turned to
the OFF position, whichever occurs first. After 10 seconds, the cluster will move the gauge needle
to the low end of the gauge scale.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the engine coolant
temperature gauge needle will be swept to several calibration points on the gauge scale in a
prescribed sequence in order to confirm the functionality of the gauge and the cluster control
circuitry.
The PCM (gasoline engine) or ECM (diesel engine) continually monitors the engine coolant
temperature sensor to determine the engine operating temperature. The PCM or ECM then sends
the proper messages to the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab
Compartment Node/CCN). If the instrument cluster turns ON the check gauges indicator due to a
high engine temperature gauge reading, it may indicate that the engine or the engine cooling
system requires service.
For proper diagnosis of the engine coolant temperature sensor, the PCM, the ECM, the EMIC, the
CAN data bus or the electronic communication related to engine coolant temperature gauge
operation a diagnostic scan tool is required.

Thermostat: Description and Operation Description
GAS ENGINE
CAUTION: Do not operate the engine without a thermostat, except for servicing or testing.
The 3.7L/4.7L/5.7L engines use a pellet-type thermostat that controls the operating temperature of
the engine by controlling the amount of coolant flow to the radiator. The 8.3L engine uses a
movable sleeve type thermostat. On all engines the thermostat is closed below 195°F (90°C).
Above this temperature, coolant is allowed to flow to the radiator. This provides quick engine warm
up and overall temperature control.
Coolant leakage into the pellet container will cause the thermostat to fail in the open position.
Thermostats very rarely stick. Do not attempt to free a thermostat with a prying device.
On the 3.7L/4.7L engine the thermostat is designed to block the flow of the coolant bypass journal
by 50% instead of completely blocking the flow. This design controls coolant temperature more
accurately.
The same thermostat is used for winter and summer seasons. An engine should not be operated
without a thermostat, except for servicing or testing.

Operating without a thermostat causes other problems. These are: longer engine warm-up time,
unreliable warm-up performance, increased exhaust emissions and crankcase condensation. This
condensation can result in sludge formation.

Thermostat: Testing and Inspection
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTICS
All models are equipped with On-Board Diagnostics for certain cooling system components. If the
powertrain control module (PCM) detects low engine coolant temperature, it will record a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) in the PCM memory. Do not change a thermostat for lack of heat
as indicated by the instrument panel gauge or by poor heater performance unless a DTC is
present.
The DTC can also be accessed through the scan tool.
DIESEL ENGINE
The cooling system used with the diesel engine provides the extra coolant capacity and extra
cooling protection needed for higher GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) and GCWR (Gross
Combined Weight Rating) vehicles.
This system capacity will not affect warm up or cold weather operating characteristics if the
thermostat is operating properly. This is because coolant will be held in the engine until it reaches
the thermostat "set" temperature.
Diesel engines, due to their inherent efficiency are slower to warm up than gasoline powered
engines, and will operate at lower temperatures when the vehicle is unloaded. Because of this,
lower temperature gauge readings for diesel versus gasoline engines may, at times be normal.
Typically, complaints of low engine coolant temperature are observed as low heater output when
combined with cool or cold outside temperatures.
To help promote faster engine warm-up, the electric engine block heater must be used with cool or
cold outside temperatures. This will help keep the engine coolant warm when the vehicle is parked.
A "Cold Weather Cover" is available from the parts department through the Mopar Accessories
product line. This accessory cover is designed to block airflow entering the radiator and engine
compartment to promote faster engine warm-up. It attaches to the front of the vehicle at the grill
opening. The cover is to be used with cool or cold temperatures only. If used with high outside
temperatures, serious engine damage could result.
For engines equipped with exhaust brakes, this device can be used to aid engine warm-up while
the engine is idling.
1. To determine if the thermostat is defective, it must be removed from the vehicle See: Service
and Repair/Engine Coolant Thermostat - Removal . 2. After the thermostat has been removed,
examine the thermostat and inside of thermostat housing for contaminants. If contaminants are
found, the
thermostat may already be in a "stuck open" position. Flush the cooling system before replacing
thermostat See: Service and Repair .
3. Place the thermostat into a container filled with water. 4. Place the container on a hot plate or
other suitable heating device. 5. Place a commercially available radiator thermometer into the
water. 6. Apply heat to the water while observing the thermostat and thermometer. 7. The
thermostat will begin to open at 85.5 - 89.4°C. (186 - 193°F ). If the valve starts to move before this
temperature is reached, it is opening too
early. Replace thermostat. The thermostat should be fully open (valve will stop moving) at 97°C
(207°F). If the valve is still moving when the water temperature reaches 97°C (207°F), it is opening
too late. Replace thermostat. If the valve refuses to move at any time, replace thermostat.

GAS ENGINE
Exhaust System 4.7L Engine - Typical
WARNING: The normal operating temperature of the exhaust system is very high. Therefore, never
work around or attempt to service any part of the exhaust system until it is cooled. Special care
should be taken when working near the catalytic converter. The temperature of the converter rises
to a high level after a short period of engine operation time.
CAUTION: DO NOT remove spark plug wires from plugs or by any other means short out cylinders.
Failure of the catalytic converter can occur due to a temperature increase caused by unburned fuel
passing through the converter.
The stainless steel catalytic converter body is designed to last the life of the vehicle. Excessive
heat can result in bulging or other distortion, but excessive heat will not be the fault of the
converter. If unburned fuel enters the converter, overheating may occur. If a converter is
heat-damaged, correct the cause of the damage at the same time the converter is replaced. Also,
inspect all other components of the exhaust system for heat damage.
Unleaded gasoline must be used to avoid contaminating the catalyst core.
50 State emission vehicles incorporate two mini catalytic converters located after the exhaust
manifolds and before the inline catalytic converter.

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
All switches, components, and modules are shown in the at rest position with the doors closed and
the key removed from the ignition.
Components are shown two ways. A solid line around a component indicates that the component is
complete. A dashed line around the component indicates that the component is being shown is not
complete. Incomplete components have a reference number to indicate the page where the
component is shown complete.
It is important to realize that no attempt is made on the diagrams to represent components and
wiring as they appear on the vehicle. For example, a short piece of wire is treated the same as a
long one. In addition, switches and other components are shown as simply as possible, with regard
to function only.

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Sensitive Devices
STANDARD PROCEDURE - ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) SENSITIVE DEVICES
All ESD sensitive components are solid state and a symbol is used to indicate this. When handling
any component with this symbol, comply with the following procedures to reduce the possibility of
electrostatic charge build up on the body and inadvertent discharge into the component. If it is not
known whether the part is ESD sensitive, assume that it is.
1. Always touch a known good ground before handling the part. This should be repeated while
handling the part and more frequently after sliding
across a seat, sitting down from a standing position, or walking a distance.
2. Avoid touching electrical terminals of the part, unless instructed to do so by a written procedure.
3. When using a voltmeter, be sure to connect the ground lead first. 4. Do not remove the part from
it's protective packing until it is time to install the part. 5. Before removing the part from it's
package, ground the package to a known good ground on the vehicle.

Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- Ohmmeter - Used to check the resistance between two points of a circuit. Low or no resistance in
a circuit means good continuity.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking resistance in these circuits use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
In addition, make sure the power is disconnected from the circuit. Circuits that are powered up by
the vehicle's electrical system can cause damage to the equipment and provide false readings.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules - Powertrain Management > Relays and
Modules - Computers and Control Systems > Body Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 3220
- Probing Tools - These tools are used for probing terminals in connectors. Select the proper size
tool from Special Tool Package 6807, and insert the probing end (2) into the terminal being tested.
Use the other end of the tool (1) to insert the meter probe.
INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent electrical problems are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. It is also
possible for a sticking component or relay to cause a problem. Before condemning a component or
wiring assembly, check the following items.
- Connectors are fully seated
- Spread terminals, or terminal push out
- Terminals in the wiring assembly are fully seated into the connector/component and locked into
position
- Dirt or corrosion on the terminals. Any amount of corrosion or dirt could cause an intermittent
problem
- Damaged connector/component casing exposing the item to dirt or moisture
- Wire insulation that has rubbed through causing a short to ground
- Some or all of the wiring strands broken inside of the insulation
- Wiring broken inside of the insulation
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are six steps which can aid in the procedure. The
steps are listed and explained below. Always check for non-factory items added to the vehicle
before doing any diagnosis. If the vehicle is equipped with these items, disconnect them to verify
these add-on items are not the cause of the problem.
1. Verify the problem. 2. Verify any related symptoms. Do this by performing operational checks on
components that are in the same circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams. 3. Analyze the symptoms.
Use the wiring diagrams to determine what the circuit is doing, where the problem most likely is
occurring and where the
diagnosis will continue.
4. Isolate the problem area. 5. Repair the problem area. 6. Verify the proper operation. For this
step, check for proper operation of all items on the repaired circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams.

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
All switches, components, and modules are shown in the at rest position with the doors closed and
the key removed from the ignition.
Components are shown two ways. A solid line around a component indicates that the component is
complete. A dashed line around the component indicates that the component is being shown is not
complete. Incomplete components have a reference number to indicate the page where the
component is shown complete.
It is important to realize that no attempt is made on the diagrams to represent components and
wiring as they appear on the vehicle. For example, a short piece of wire is treated the same as a
long one. In addition, switches and other components are shown as simply as possible, with regard
to function only.

DESCRIPTION - CONNECTOR, GROUND AND SPLICE INFORMATION
CAUTION: Not all connectors are serviced. Some connectors are serviced only with a harness. A
typical example might be the Supplemental Restraint System connectors. Always check parts
availability before attempting a repair.
IDENTIFICATION
In-line connectors are identified by a number, as follows:
- In-line connectors located in the engine compartment are C100 series numbers.
- In-line connectors located in the instrument panel area are C200 series numbers.
- In-line connectors located in the body are C300 series numbers.
- Jumper harness connectors are C400 series numbers.
- Grounds and ground connectors are identified with a "G" and follow the same series numbering
as the in-line connectors.
- Splices are identified with an "S" and follow the same series numbering as the in-line connectors.
In addition, S001-S099 numbers are located in the engine compartment.
- Component connectors are identified by the component name instead of a number. Multiple
connectors on a component use a C1, C2, etc. identifier.
LOCATIONS

Engine Control Module: Diagnostic Aids
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Sensitive Devices
STANDARD PROCEDURE - ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) SENSITIVE DEVICES
All ESD sensitive components are solid state and a symbol is used to indicate this. When handling
any component with this symbol, comply with the following procedures to reduce the possibility of
electrostatic charge build up on the body and inadvertent discharge into the component. If it is not
known whether the part is ESD sensitive, assume that it is.
1. Always touch a known good ground before handling the part. This should be repeated while
handling the part and more frequently after sliding
across a seat, sitting down from a standing position, or walking a distance.
2. Avoid touching electrical terminals of the part, unless instructed to do so by a written procedure.
3. When using a voltmeter, be sure to connect the ground lead first. 4. Do not remove the part from
it's protective packing until it is time to install the part. 5. Before removing the part from it's
package, ground the package to a known good ground on the vehicle.
Testing Of Voltage Potential
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TESTING OF VOLTAGE POTENTIAL
1. Connect the ground lead of a voltmeter to a known good ground. 2. Connect the other lead of
the voltmeter to the selected test point. The vehicle ignition may need to be turned ON to check
voltage. Refer to the
appropriate test procedure.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - TESTING FOR CONTINUITY
1. Remove the fuse (1) for the circuit being checked or, disconnect the battery. 2. Connect one lead
of the ohmmeter to one side of the circuit being tested 3. Connect the other lead to the other end of
the circuit being tested. Low or no resistance means good continuity.
Testing For A Short To Ground
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TESTING FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
1. Remove the fuse and disconnect all items involved with the fuse. 2. Connect a test light or a
voltmeter across the terminals of the fuse. 3. Starting at the fuse block, wiggle the wiring harness
about six to eight inches apart and watch the voltmeter/test lamp. 4. If the voltmeter registers
voltage or the test lamp glows, there is a short to ground in that general area of the wiring harness.

Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- Ohmmeter - Used to check the resistance between two points of a circuit. Low or no resistance in
a circuit means good continuity.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking resistance in these circuits use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
In addition, make sure the power is disconnected from the circuit. Circuits that are powered up by
the vehicle's electrical system can cause damage to the equipment and provide false readings.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules - Powertrain Management > Relays and
Modules - Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 3279
- Probing Tools - These tools are used for probing terminals in connectors. Select the proper size
tool from Special Tool Package 6807, and insert the probing end (2) into the terminal being tested.
Use the other end of the tool (1) to insert the meter probe.
INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent electrical problems are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. It is also
possible for a sticking component or relay to cause a problem. Before condemning a component or
wiring assembly, check the following items.
- Connectors are fully seated
- Spread terminals, or terminal push out
- Terminals in the wiring assembly are fully seated into the connector/component and locked into
position
- Dirt or corrosion on the terminals. Any amount of corrosion or dirt could cause an intermittent
problem
- Damaged connector/component casing exposing the item to dirt or moisture
- Wire insulation that has rubbed through causing a short to ground
- Some or all of the wiring strands broken inside of the insulation
- Wiring broken inside of the insulation
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are six steps which can aid in the procedure. The
steps are listed and explained below. Always check for non-factory items added to the vehicle
before doing any diagnosis. If the vehicle is equipped with these items, disconnect them to verify
these add-on items are not the cause of the problem.
1. Verify the problem. 2. Verify any related symptoms. Do this by performing operational checks on
components that are in the same circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams. 3. Analyze the symptoms.
Use the wiring diagrams to determine what the circuit is doing, where the problem most likely is
occurring and where the
diagnosis will continue.
4. Isolate the problem area. 5. Repair the problem area. 6. Verify the proper operation. For this
step, check for proper operation of all items on the repaired circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams.

Engine Control Module: Description and Operation Powertrain Control Module - Description
Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM)
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is located in the right-rear section of the engine
compartment under the cowl.
Two different PCM's are used (JTEC and NGC). These can be easily identified. JTEC's use three
32-way connectors, NGC's use four 38-way connectors
Modes Of Operation
MODES OF OPERATION
As input signals to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) change, the PCM adjusts its response to
the output devices. For example, the PCM must calculate different injector pulse width and ignition
timing for idle than it does for wide open throttle (WOT).
The PCM will operate in two different modes: Open Loop and Closed Loop.
During Open Loop modes, the PCM receives input signals and responds only according to preset
PCM programming. Input from the oxygen (O2S) sensors is not monitored during Open Loop
modes.
During Closed Loop modes, the PCM will monitor the oxygen (O2S) sensors input. This input
indicates to the PCM whether or not the calculated injector pulse width results in the ideal air-fuel
ratio. This ratio is 14.7 parts air-to-1 part fuel. By monitoring the exhaust oxygen content through
the O2S sensor, the PCM can fine tune the injector pulse width. This is done to achieve optimum
fuel economy combined with low emission engine performance.
The fuel injection system has the following modes of operation:
- Ignition switch ON
- Engine start-up (crank)
- Engine warm-up
- Idle
- Cruise
- Acceleration
- Deceleration
- Wide open throttle (WOT)
- Ignition switch OFF
The ignition switch On, engine start-up (crank), engine warm-up, acceleration, deceleration and
wide open throttle modes are Open Loop modes. The idle and cruise modes, (with the engine at
operating temperature) are Closed Loop modes.

Modules - Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Description and Operation
> Powertrain Control Module - Description > Page 3319
IGNITION SWITCH (KEY-ON) MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. When the fuel system is activated by the ignition switch, the following
actions occur:
- The PCM pre-positions the idle air control (IAC) motor.
- The PCM determines atmospheric air pressure from the MAP sensor input to determine basic fuel
strategy.
- The PCM monitors the engine coolant temperature sensor input. The PCM modifies fuel strategy
based on this input.
- Intake manifold air temperature sensor input is monitored.
- Throttle position sensor (TPS) is monitored.
- The auto shutdown (ASD) relay is energized by the PCM for approximately three seconds.
- The fuel pump is energized through the fuel pump relay by the PCM. The fuel pump will operate
for approximately three seconds unless the engine is operating or the starter motor is engaged.
- The O2S sensor heater element is energized via the ASD or O2S heater relay. The O2S sensor
input is not used by the PCM to calibrate air-fuel ratio during this mode of operation.
ENGINE START-UP MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. The following actions occur when the starter motor is engaged.
The PCM receives inputs from:
- Battery voltage
- Engine coolant temperature sensor
- Crankshaft position sensor
- Intake manifold air temperature sensor
- Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
- Throttle position sensor (TPS)
- Camshaft position sensor signal
The PCM monitors the crankshaft position sensor. If the PCM does not receive a crankshaft
position sensor signal within 3 seconds of cranking the engine, it will shut down the fuel injection
system.
The fuel pump is activated by the PCM through the fuel pump relay.
Voltage is applied to the fuel injectors with the ASD relay via the PCM. The PCM will then control
the injection sequence and injector pulse width by turning the ground circuit to each individual
injector on and off.
The PCM determines the proper ignition timing according to input received from the crankshaft
position sensor.
ENGINE WARM-UP MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. During engine warm-up, the PCM receives inputs from:
- Battery voltage
- Crankshaft position sensor
- Engine coolant temperature sensor
- Intake manifold air temperature sensor
- Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
- Throttle position sensor (TPS)
- Camshaft position sensor signal
- Park/neutral switch (gear indicator signal-auto. trans. only)
- Air conditioning select signal (if equipped)
- Air conditioning request signal (if equipped)
Based on these inputs the following occurs:
- Voltage is applied to the fuel injectors with the ASD relay via the PCM. The PCM will then control
the injection sequence and injector pulse width by turning the ground circuit to each individual
injector on and off.
- The PCM adjusts engine idle speed through the idle air control (IAC) motor and adjusts ignition
timing.
- The PCM operates the A/C compressor clutch through the A/C compressor clutch relay. This is
done if A/C has been selected by the vehicle operator and specified pressures are met at the high
and low-pressure A/C switches.
- When engine has reached operating temperature, the PCM will begin monitoring O2S sensor
input. The system will then leave the warm-up mode and go into closed loop operation.
IDLE MODE
Dodge Ram 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (Truck V8-4.7L (2008))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules - Powertrain Management > Relays and
Modules - Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Description and Operation
> Powertrain Control Module - Description > Page 3320
When the engine is at operating temperature, this is a Closed Loop mode. At idle speed, the PCM
receives inputs from:
- Air conditioning select signal (if equipped)
- Air conditioning request signal (if equipped)
- Battery voltage
- Crankshaft position sensor
- Engine coolant temperature sensor
- Intake manifold air temperature sensor
- Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor

injection sequence and injector pulse width by turning the ground circuit to each individual injector
on and off.
- The PCM monitors the O2S sensor input and adjusts air-fuel ratio by varying injector pulse width.
It also adjusts engine idle speed through the idle air control (IAC) motor.
- The PCM adjusts ignition timing by increasing and decreasing spark advance.
- The PCM operates the A/C compressor clutch through the A/C compressor clutch relay. This is
done if A/C has been selected by the vehicle operator and specified pressures are met at the high
and low-pressure A/C switches.
CRUISE MODE
When the engine is at operating temperature, this is a Closed Loop mode. At cruising speed, the
PCM receives inputs from:
- Air conditioning select signal (if equipped)
- Air conditioning request signal (if equipped)
- Battery voltage
- Engine coolant temperature sensor
- Crankshaft position sensor
- Intake manifold air temperature sensor
- Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
- Throttle position sensor (TPS)
- Camshaft position sensor signal
- Park/neutral switch (gear indicator signal-auto. trans. only)
- Oxygen (O2S) sensors
Based on these inputs, the following occurs:
- Voltage is applied to the fuel injectors with the ASD relay via the PCM. The PCM will then adjust
the injector pulse width by turning the ground circuit to each individual injector on and off.
- The PCM monitors the O2S sensor input and adjusts air-fuel ratio. It also adjusts engine idle
speed through the idle air control (IAC) motor.
- The PCM adjusts ignition timing by turning the ground path to the coil(s) on and off.
- The PCM operates the A/C compressor clutch through the clutch relay. This happens if A/C has
been selected by the vehicle operator and requested by the A/C thermostat.
ACCELERATION MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. The PCM recognizes an abrupt increase in throttle position or MAP
pressure as a demand for increased engine output and vehicle acceleration. The PCM increases
injector pulse width in response to increased throttle opening.
DECELERATION MODE
When the engine is at operating temperature, this is an Open Loop mode. During hard
deceleration, the PCM receives the following inputs.
- Air conditioning select signal (if equipped)
- Air conditioning request signal (if equipped)
- Battery voltage
- Engine coolant temperature sensor
- Crankshaft position sensor
- Intake manifold air temperature sensor
Dodge Ram 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (Truck V8-4.7L (2008))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules - Powertrain Management > Relays and
Modules - Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Description and Operation
> Powertrain Control Module - Description > Page 3321
- Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
- Throttle position sensor (TPS)
- Camshaft position sensor signal
- Park/neutral switch (gear indicator signal-auto. trans. only)
- Vehicle speed
If the vehicle is under hard deceleration with the proper rpm and closed throttle conditions, the
PCM will ignore the oxygen sensor input signal. The PCM will enter a fuel cut-off strategy in which
it will not supply a ground to the injectors. If a hard deceleration does not exist, the PCM will
determine the proper injector pulse width and continue injection.
Based on the above inputs, the PCM will adjust engine idle speed through the idle air control (IAC)
motor.
The PCM adjusts ignition timing by turning the ground path to the coil on and off.
WIDE OPEN THROTTLE MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. During wide open throttle operation, the PCM receives the following
inputs.
- Battery voltage
- Crankshaft position sensor
- Engine coolant temperature sensor
- Intake manifold air temperature sensor
- Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
- Throttle position sensor (TPS)
- Camshaft position sensor signal
During wide open throttle conditions, the following occurs:
- Voltage is applied to the fuel injectors with the ASD relay via the PCM. The PCM will then control
the injection sequence and injector pulse width by turning the ground circuit to each individual
injector on and off. The PCM ignores the oxygen sensor input signal and provides a predetermined
amount of additional fuel. This is done by adjusting injector pulse width.
- The PCM adjusts ignition timing by turning the ground path to the coil(s) on and off.
IGNITION SWITCH OFF MODE
When ignition switch is turned to OFF position, the PCM stops operating the injectors, ignition coil,
ASD relay and fuel pump relay.

Engine Control Module: Description and Operation Powertrain Control Module - Operation
Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM)
The PCM operates the fuel system. The PCM is a pre-programmed, triple microprocessor digital
computer. It regulates ignition timing, air-fuel ratio, emission control devices, charging system,
certain transmission features, speed control, air conditioning compressor clutch engagement and
idle speed. The PCM can adapt its programming to meet changing operating conditions.
The PCM receives input signals from various switches and sensors. Based on these inputs, the
PCM regulates various engine and vehicle operations through different system components. These
components are referred to as Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Outputs. The sensors and
switches that provide inputs to the PCM are considered Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Inputs.
The PCM adjusts ignition timing based upon inputs it receives from sensors that react to: engine
rpm, manifold absolute pressure, engine coolant temperature, throttle position, transmission gear
selection (automatic transmission), vehicle speed, power steering pump pressure, and the brake
switch.
The PCM adjusts idle speed based on inputs it receives from sensors that react to: throttle position,
vehicle speed, transmission gear selection, engine coolant temperature and from inputs it receives
from the air conditioning clutch switch and brake switch.
Based on inputs that it receives, the PCM adjusts ignition coil dwell. The PCM also adjusts the
generator charge rate through control of the generator field and provides speed control operation.

Ignition Circuit Sense
IGNITION CIRCUIT SENSE
The ignition circuit sense input tells the PCM the ignition switch has energized the ignition circuit.
Battery voltage is also supplied to the PCM through the ignition switch when the ignition is in the
RUN or START position. This is referred to as the "ignition sense" circuit and is used to "wake up"
the PCM. Voltage on the ignition input can be as low as 6 volts and the PCM will still function.
Voltage is supplied to this circuit to power the PCM's 8-volt regulator and to allow the PCM to
perform fuel, ignition and emissions control functions.

SKREEM Programming
Engine Control Module: Testing and Inspection SKREEM Programming
SKREEM PROGRAMMING
When a Powertrain Control Module (PCM) for a gasoline engine, or an Engine Control Module
(ECM) for a diesel engine and the Sentry Key Remote Entry Module (SKREEM) (also known as the
Wireless Control Module/WCM) on vehicles equipped with the Sentry Key Immobilizer System
(SKIS) are replaced at the same time, perform the following steps in order:
NOTE: If the PCM and the SKREEM are replaced at the same time, program the PCM VIN into the
PCM first.
1. If applicable first replace the PCM/ECM with the original WCM still connected to the vehicle. 2.
Using the appropriate service information program the new PCM/ECM. (This will ensure the Secret
Key Transfer from the original WCM into the
new PCM/ECM).
3. Now replace and program the WCM. This will retain the Secret Key from the PCM/ECM back
into the new WCM. 4. With the scan tool, select Miscellaneous Functions, WCM/Wireless Control
Module. Then select the desired procedure and follow the display on
the scan tool.
5. If the vehicle is equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring System program the Placard Pressure
Values into the WCM/SKREEM. 6. Ensure all the customer's keys have been programmed into the
new module if necessary.
NOTE: If the original keys do not successfully program to the new SKREEM after the proper
procedures are followed correctly, programming new keys will be necessary.
PROGRAMMING THE SKREEM
The SKIS Secret Key is an ID code that is unique to each SKREEM/WCM. This code is
programmed and stored in the SKREEM/WCM, the PCM/ECM, and each ignition key transponder
chip. When the PCM/ECM or SKREEM/WCM is replaced, it is necessary to program the Secret
Key into the new module using a diagnostic scan tool. Follow the programming steps outlined in
the diagnostic scan tool for PCM REPLACED , ECM REPLACED , WCM REPLACED , or
GATEWAY REPLACED under MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS for the WIRELESS CONTROL
MODULE/WCM menu item as appropriate.
NOTE: Programming the PCM/ECM or SKREEM is done using a diagnostic scan tool and a PIN to
enter secure access mode. If three attempts are made to enter secure access mode using an
incorrect PIN, secure access mode will be locked out for one hour. To exit this lockout mode, turn
the ignition to the RUN position for one hour then enter the correct PIN. Be certain that all
accessories are turned OFF. Also monitor the battery state and connect a battery charger if
necessary.
NOTE: Before replacing the ECU for a failed driver, control circuit or ground circuit, be sure to
check the related component/circuit integrity for failures not detected due to a double fault in the
circuit. Most ECM driver/control circuit failures are caused by internal component failures (i.e. relay
and solenoids) and shorted circuits (i.e. pull-ups, drivers and switched circuits). These failures are
difficult to detect when a double fault has occurred and only one DTC has set.
ECM/SKIM/WCM PROGRAMMING
When a ECM and the SKIM are replaced at the same time perform the following steps in order:
1. Program the new SKIM 2. Program the new ECM 3. Replace all ignition keys and program them
to the new SKIM.
ECM/SKIM/WCM PROGRAMMING
When an ECM (Bosch) and the SKIM are replaced at the same time perform the following steps in
order:
1. Program the new SKIM 2. Program the new ECM (Bosch) 3. Replace all ignition keys and
program them to the new SKIM.
PROGRAMMING THE SKIM
CAUTION: Read all notes and cautions for programming procedures.
1. Connect a battery charger to the vehicle. 2. Connect the StarSCAN(R).
CAUTION: If the ECM/PCM and SKREEM/WCM are replaced at the same time, the ECM/PCM
MUST be programmed before the
Dodge Ram 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (Truck V8-4.7L (2008))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules - Powertrain Management > Relays and
Modules - Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Testing and Inspection >
SKREEM Programming > Page 3327
SKREEM/WCM.
3. Select "ECU View". 4. Select "WCM Wireless Control Module". 5. Select "Miscellaneous
Functions". 6. Select WCM replaced. 7. Enter the PIN when prompted. 8. Verify the correct
information.
NOTE: If the ECM and the SKIM are replaced at the same time, all vehicle keys will need to be
replaced and programmed to the new SKIM.
PROGRAMMING IGNITION KEYS TO THE SKREEM
Each ignition key transponder also has a unique ID code that is assigned at the time the key is
manufactured. When a key is programmed into the SKREEM/WCM, the transponder ID code is
learned by the module and the transponder acquires the unique Secret Key ID code from the
SKREEM/WCM. To program ignition keys into the SKREEM/WCM, follow the programming steps
outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for PROGRAM IGNITION KEYS OR KEY FOBS under
MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS for the WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE/WCM menu item.
NOTE: If the original keys do not successfully program to the new SKREEM after the proper
procedures are followed correctly, programming new keys will be necessary.
NOTE: A maximum of eight keys can be learned to each SKREEM. Once a key is learned to a
SKREEM, that key has acquired the Secret Key for that SKREEM and cannot be transferred to any
other SKREEM or vehicle.
If ignition key programming is unsuccessful, the scan tool will display one of the following error
messages:
- PROGRAMMING NOT ATTEMPTED - The scan tool attempts to read the programmed key status
and there are no keys programmed into SKREEM memory.
- PROGRAMMING KEY FAILED (POSSIBLE USED KEY FROM WRONG VEHICLE) - SKREEM is
unable to program an ignition key transponder due to one of the following:
- The ignition key transponder is ineffective.
- The ignition key transponder is or has been already programmed to another vehicle.
- 8 KEYS ALREADY LEARNED, PROGRAMMING NOT DONE - The SKREEM transponder ID
memory is full.
LEARNED KEY IN IGNITION - The ID for the ignition key transponder currently in the ignition lock
cylinder is already programmed into SKREEM memory.

REMOVAL
CAUTION: Certain ABS systems rely on having the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) broadcast
the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) over the bus network. To prevent problems of DTCs and
other items related to the VIN broadcast, it is recommend that you disconnect the ABS CAB
(controller) temporarily when replacing the PCM. Once the PCM is replaced, write the VIN to the
PCM using a scan tool. This is done from the engine main menu. Arrow over to the second page to
"1. Miscellaneous". Select "Check VIN" from the choices. Make sure it has the correct VIN entered
before continuing. When the VIN is complete, turn off the ignition key and reconnect the ABS
module connector. This will prevent the setting of DTCs and other items associated with the lack of
a VIN detected when you turn the key ON after replacing the PCM.
CAUTION: Use the scan tool to reprogram the new PCM with the vehicles original identification
number (VIN) and the vehicles original mileage. If this step is not done, a Diagnostic Trouble Code
(DTC) may be set.
The PCM (1) is located in the engine compartment attached to the dash panel (3).
To avoid possible voltage spike damage to the PCM, ignition key must be off, and negative battery
cable must be disconnected before unplugging PCM connectors.
1. Disconnect negative battery cable at battery. 2. Remove cover over electrical connectors. Cover
snaps onto PCM. 3. Carefully unplug the three 32-way connectors (four 38-way connectors if
equipped with NGC) from PCM (1). 4. Remove three PCM mounting bolts (4) and remove PCM
from vehicle.

Fig.1 ASD And Fuel Pump Relay Terminals-Type 1
Fig.2 ASD And Fuel Pump Relay Terminals-Type 2
The following description of operation and tests apply only to the Automatic Shutdown (ASD) and
fuel pump relays. The terminals on the bottom of each relay are numbered. Two different types of
relays may be used, or.
- Terminal number 30 is connected to battery voltage. For both the ASD and fuel pump relays,
terminal 30 is connected to battery voltage at all times.
- The PCM grounds the coil side of the relay through terminal number 85.
- Terminal number 86 supplies voltage to the coil side of the relay.
- When the PCM de-energizes the ASD and fuel pump relays, terminal number 87A connects to
terminal 30. This is the OFF position. In the OFF position, voltage is not supplied to the rest of the
circuit. Terminal 87A is the center terminal on the relay.
- When the PCM energizes the ASD and fuel pump relays, terminal 87 connects to terminal 30.
This is the ON position. Terminal 87 supplies voltage to the rest of the circuit.
The following procedure applies to the ASD and fuel pump relays.
1. Remove relay from connector before testing. 2. With the relay removed from the vehicle, use an
ohmmeter to check the resistance between terminals 85 and 86. The resistance should be 75
ohms

3. Connect the ohmmeter between terminals 30 and 87A. The ohmmeter should show continuity
between terminals 30 and 87A. 4. Connect the ohmmeter between terminals 87 and 30. The
ohmmeter should not show continuity at this time. 5. Connect one end of a jumper wire (16 gauge
or smaller) to relay terminal 85. Connect the other end of the jumper wire to the ground side of a 12
volt power source.
6. Connect one end of another jumper wire (16 gauge or smaller) to the power side of the 12 volt
power source. Do not attach the other end of the
jumper wire to the relay at this time.
WARNING: DO NOT ALLOW OHMMETER TO CONTACT TERMINALS 85 OR 86 DURING THIS
TEST. DAMAGE TO OHMMETER MAY RESULT.
7. Attach the other end of the jumper wire to relay terminal 86. This activates the relay. The
ohmmeter should now show continuity between relay
terminals 87 and 30. The ohmmeter should not show continuity between relay terminals 87A and
30.
8. Disconnect jumper wires. 9. Replace the relay if it did not pass the continuity and resistance
tests. If the relay passed the tests, it operates properly. Check the remainder of the
ASD and fuel pump relay circuits.

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
All switches, components, and modules are shown in the at rest position with the doors closed and
the key removed from the ignition.
Components are shown two ways. A solid line around a component indicates that the component is
complete. A dashed line around the component indicates that the component is being shown is not
complete. Incomplete components have a reference number to indicate the page where the
component is shown complete.
It is important to realize that no attempt is made on the diagrams to represent components and
wiring as they appear on the vehicle. For example, a short piece of wire is treated the same as a
long one. In addition, switches and other components are shown as simply as possible, with regard
to function only.

Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- Ohmmeter - Used to check the resistance between two points of a circuit. Low or no resistance in
a circuit means good continuity.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking resistance in these circuits use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
In addition, make sure the power is disconnected from the circuit. Circuits that are powered up by
the vehicle's electrical system can cause damage to the equipment and provide false readings.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules - Powertrain Management > Relays and
Modules - Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Fuel Pump Relay > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 3375
- Probing Tools - These tools are used for probing terminals in connectors. Select the proper size
tool from Special Tool Package 6807, and insert the probing end (2) into the terminal being tested.
Use the other end of the tool (1) to insert the meter probe.
INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent electrical problems are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. It is also
possible for a sticking component or relay to cause a problem. Before condemning a component or
wiring assembly, check the following items.
- Connectors are fully seated
- Spread terminals, or terminal push out
- Terminals in the wiring assembly are fully seated into the connector/component and locked into
position
- Dirt or corrosion on the terminals. Any amount of corrosion or dirt could cause an intermittent
problem
- Damaged connector/component casing exposing the item to dirt or moisture
- Wire insulation that has rubbed through causing a short to ground
- Some or all of the wiring strands broken inside of the insulation
- Wiring broken inside of the insulation
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are six steps which can aid in the procedure. The
steps are listed and explained below. Always check for non-factory items added to the vehicle
before doing any diagnosis. If the vehicle is equipped with these items, disconnect them to verify
these add-on items are not the cause of the problem.
1. Verify the problem. 2. Verify any related symptoms. Do this by performing operational checks on
components that are in the same circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams. 3. Analyze the symptoms.
Use the wiring diagrams to determine what the circuit is doing, where the problem most likely is
occurring and where the
diagnosis will continue.
4. Isolate the problem area. 5. Repair the problem area. 6. Verify the proper operation. For this
step, check for proper operation of all items on the repaired circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams.

Fuel Pump Relay: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) energizes the electric fuel pump through the fuel pump
relay. The fuel pump relay is energized by first applying battery voltage to it when the ignition key is
turned ON, and then applying a ground signal to the relay from the PCM.
Whenever the ignition key is turned ON, the electric fuel pump will operate. But, the PCM will
shut-down the ground circuit to the fuel pump relay in approximately 1-3 seconds unless the engine
is operating or the starter motor is engaged.

- Terminal number 30 is connected to battery voltage. For both the ASD and fuel pump relays,
terminal 30 is connected to battery voltage at all times.
- The PCM grounds the coil side of the relay through terminal number 85.
- Terminal number 86 supplies voltage to the coil side of the relay.
- When the PCM de-energizes the ASD and fuel pump relays, terminal number 87A connects to
terminal 30. This is the OFF position. In the OFF position, voltage is not supplied to the rest of the
circuit. Terminal 87A is the center terminal on the relay.
- When the PCM energizes the ASD and fuel pump relays, terminal 87 connects to terminal 30.
This is the ON position. Terminal 87 supplies voltage to the rest of the circuit.
The following procedure applies to the ASD and fuel pump relays.
1. Remove relay from connector before testing. 2. With the relay removed from the vehicle, use an
ohmmeter to check the resistance between terminals 85 and 86. The resistance should be 75
ohms

± 5 ohms.
3. Connect the ohmmeter between terminals 30 and 87A. The ohmmeter should show continuity
between terminals 30 and 87A. 4. Connect the ohmmeter between terminals 87 and 30. The
ohmmeter should not show continuity at this time. 5. Connect one end of a jumper wire (16 gauge
or smaller) to relay terminal 85. Connect the other end of the jumper wire to the ground side of a 12
volt power source.
6. Connect one end of another jumper wire (16 gauge or smaller) to the power side of the 12 volt
power source. Do not attach the other end of the
jumper wire to the relay at this time.
WARNING: DO NOT ALLOW OHMMETER TO CONTACT TERMINALS 85 OR 86 DURING THIS
TEST. DAMAGE TO OHMMETER MAY RESULT.
7. Attach the other end of the jumper wire to relay terminal 86. This activates the relay. The
ohmmeter should now show continuity between relay
terminals 87 and 30. The ohmmeter should not show continuity between relay terminals 87A and
30.
8. Disconnect jumper wires. 9. Replace the relay if it did not pass the continuity and resistance
tests. If the relay passed the tests, it operates properly. Check the remainder of the
ASD and fuel pump relay circuits.

Battery Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation Battery Temperature Sensor - Description
DESCRIPTION
The Battery Temperature Sensor (BTS) is used only on the diesel engine. It is attached to the
battery tray located under the battery.
Dodge Ram 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (Truck V8-4.7L (2008))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Sensors and Switches - Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches - Computers and Control Systems > Battery Temperature Sensor > Component Information > Description and
Operation > Battery Temperature Sensor - Description > Page 3404
Battery Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation Battery Temperature Sensor - Operation
OPERATION
The BTS is used to determine the battery temperature and control battery charging rate. This
temperature data, along with data from monitored line voltage, is used by the PCM (ECM Diesel) to
vary the battery charging rate. System voltage will be higher at colder temperatures and is
gradually reduced at warmer temperatures.
The PCM sends 5 volts to the sensor and is grounded through the sensor return line. As
temperature increases, resistance in the sensor decreases and the detection voltage at the PCM
increases.
The BTS is also used for OBD II diagnostics. Certain faults and OBD II monitors are either enabled
or disabled, depending upon BTS input (for example, disable purge and enable Leak Detection
Pump (LDP) and O2 sensor heater tests). Most OBD II monitors are disabled below 20°F.

Camshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
4.7L
The CMP sensor engine contains a hall effect device called a sync signal generator to generate a
fuel sync signal. This sync signal generator detects notches located on a tonewheel. The
tonewheel (4) is located at the front of the camshaft for the right cylinder head (2). As the
tonewheel rotates, the notches (1) pass through the sync signal generator. The pattern of the
notches (viewed counter-clockwise from front of engine) is: 1 notch, 2 notches, 3 notches, 3
notches, 2 notches, 1 notch, 3 notches and 1 notch. The signal from the CMP sensor is used in
conjunction with the crankshaft position sensor to differentiate between fuel injection and spark
events. It is also used to synchronize the fuel injectors with their respective cylinders.

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
4.7L V-8
Engine speed and crankshaft position are provided through the CKP (Crankshaft Position) sensor.
The sensor generates pulses that are the input sent to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The
PCM interprets the sensor input to determine the crankshaft position. The PCM then uses this
position, along with other inputs, to determine injector sequence and ignition timing.
The sensor is a hall effect device combined with an internal magnet. It is also sensitive to steel
within a certain distance from it.
A tonewheel (1) is bolted to the engine crankshaft. This tonewheel has sets of notches (2) at its
outer edge.
The notches cause a pulse to be generated when they pass under the sensor. The pulses are the
input to the PCM.

Fuel Level Sensor: Description and Operation Fuel Pump
Description
DESCRIPTION
The electric fuel pump is located inside of the fuel pump module. A 12 volt, permanent magnet,
electric motor powers the fuel pump. The electric fuel pump is not a separate, serviceable
component.
Operation
OPERATION
Voltage to operate the electric pump is supplied through the fuel pump relay.
Fuel is drawn in through a filter at the bottom of the module and pushed through the electric motor
gearset to the pump outlet.
Check Valve Operation: The bottom section of the fuel pump module contains a one-way check
valve to prevent fuel flow back into the tank and to maintain fuel supply line pressure (engine
warm) when pump is not operational. It is also used to keep the fuel supply line full of gasoline
when pump is not operational. After the vehicle has cooled down, fuel pressure may drop to 0 psi
(cold fluid contracts), but liquid gasoline will remain in fuel supply line between the check valve and
fuel injectors.Fuel pressure that has dropped to 0 psi on a cooled down vehicle (engine off) is a
normal condition.
The electric fuel pump is not a separate, serviceable component.

Intake Air Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation
OPERATION
The IAT sensor provides an input voltage to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) indicating the
density of the air entering the intake manifold based upon intake manifold temperature. At key-on,
a 5-volt power circuit is supplied to the sensor from the PCM. The sensor is grounded at the PCM
through a low-noise, sensor-return circuit.
The PCM uses this input to calculate the following:
- Injector pulse-width
- Adjustment of spark timing (to help prevent spark knock with high intake manifold air-charge
temperatures)
The resistance values of the IAT sensor is the same as for the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT)
sensor.

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
Two knock sensors are used; 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 which constantly vibrates and sends an input
voltage (signal) to the PCM while the engine operates. As the 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
maximum authority that long term memory has over timing retard can be calibrated.
Short term memory is allowed to retard timing up to a preset amount under all operating conditions
(as long as rpm is above the minimum rpm) except at Wide Open Throttle (WOT). The PCM, using
short term memory, can respond quickly to retard timing when engine knock is detected. Short term
memory is lost any time the ignition key is turned off.
NOTE: Over or under tightening the sensor mounting bolts will affect knock sensor performance,
possibly causing improper spark control. Always use the specified torque when installing the knock
sensors.

Manifold Pressure/Vacuum Sensor: Description and Operation
OPERATION
The MAP sensor is used as an input to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). It contains a silicon
based sensing unit to provide data on the manifold vacuum that draws the air/fuel mixture into the
combustion chamber. The PCM requires this information to determine injector pulse width and
spark advance. When manifold absolute pressure (MAP) equals Barometric pressure, the pulse
width will be at maximum.
A 5 volt reference is supplied from the PCM and returns a voltage signal to the PCM that reflects
manifold pressure. The zero pressure reading is 0.5V and full scale is 4.5V. For a pressure swing
of 0-15 psi, the voltage changes 4.0V. To operate the sensor, it is supplied a regulated 4.8 to 5.1
volts. Ground is provided through the low-noise, sensor return circuit at the PCM.
The MAP sensor input is the number one contributor to fuel injector pulse width. The most
important function of the MAP sensor is to determine barometric pressure. The PCM needs to
know if the vehicle is at sea level or at a higher altitude, because the air density changes with
altitude. It will also help to correct for varying barometric pressure. Barometric pressure and altitude
have a direct inverse correlation; as altitude goes up, barometric goes down. At key-on, the PCM
powers up and looks at MAP voltage, and based upon the voltage it sees, it knows the current
barometric pressure (relative to altitude). Once the engine starts, the PCM looks at the voltage
again, continuously every 12 milliseconds, and compares the current voltage to what it was at
key-on. The difference between current voltage and what it was at key-on, is manifold vacuum.
During key-on (engine not running) the sensor reads (updates) barometric pressure. A normal
range can be obtained by monitoring a known good sensor.
As the altitude increases, the air becomes thinner (less oxygen). If a vehicle is started and driven to
a very different altitude than where it was at key-on, the barometric pressure needs to be updated.
Any time the PCM sees Wide Open Throttle (WOT), based upon Throttle Position Sensor (TPS)
angle and RPM, it will update barometric pressure in the MAP memory cell. With periodic updates,
the PCM can make its calculations more effectively.
The PCM uses the MAP sensor input to aid in calculating the following:
- Manifold pressure
- Barometric pressure
- Engine load
- Injector pulse-width
- Spark-advance programs
- Shift-point strategies (certain automatic transmissions only)
- Idle speed
- Decel fuel shutoff
The MAP sensor signal is provided from a single piezoresistive element located in the center of a
diaphragm. The element and diaphragm are both made of silicone. As manifold pressure changes,
the diaphragm moves causing the element to deflect, which stresses the silicone. When silicone is
exposed to stress, its resistance changes. As manifold vacuum increases, the MAP sensor input
voltage decreases proportionally. The sensor also contains electronics that condition the signal and
provide temperature compensation.
The PCM recognizes a decrease in manifold pressure by monitoring a decrease in voltage from the
reading stored in the barometric pressure memory cell. The MAP sensor is a linear sensor;
meaning as pressure changes, voltage changes proportionately. The range of voltage output from
the sensor is usually between 4.6 volts at sea level to as low as 0.3 volts at 26 in. of Hg. Barometric
pressure is the pressure exerted by the atmosphere upon an object. At sea level on a standard
day, no storm, barometric pressure is approximately 29.92 in Hg. For every 100 feet of altitude,
barometric pressure drops 0.10 in. Hg. If a storm goes through, it can change barometric pressure
from what should be present for that altitude. You should know what the average pressure and
corresponding barometric pressure is for your area.

Oxygen Sensor: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION
The Oxygen Sensors (O2S) are attached to, and protrude into the vehicle exhaust system.
Depending on the engine or emission package, the vehicle may use a total of either 2 or 4 sensors.
Federal Emission Packages : Two sensors are used: upstream (referred to as 1/1) and
downstream (referred to as 1/2). With this emission package, the upstream sensor (1/1) is located
just before the main catalytic convertor. The downstream sensor (1/2) is located just after the main
catalytic convertor.
California Emission Packages: On this emissions package, 4 sensors are used: 2 upstream
(referred to as 1/1 and 2/1) and 2 downstream (referred to as 1/2 and 2/2). With this emission
package, the right upstream sensor (2/1) is located in the right exhaust downpipe just before the
mini-catalytic convertor. The left upstream sensor (1/1) is located in the left exhaust downpipe just
before the mini-catalytic convertor. The right downstream sensor (2/2) is located in the right
exhaust downpipe just after the mini-catalytic convertor, and before the main catalytic convertor.
The left downstream sensor (1/2) is located in the left exhaust downpipe just after the mini-catalytic
convertor, and before the main catalytic convertor.

Transmission Position Switch/Sensor: Description and Operation 42RLE Automatic Transmission
Description
DESCRIPTION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) (2) is mounted to the top of the valve body inside the
transmission and can only be serviced by removing the valve body assembly. The electrical
connector extends through the transmission case.
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) has four switch contacts that monitor shift lever position
and send the information to the PCM.
Operation
OPERATION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) communicates shift lever position (SLP) to the TCM as a
combination of open and closed switches. Each shift lever position has an assigned combination of
switch states (open/closed) that the TCM receives from four sense circuits. The TCM interprets this
information and determines the appropriate transmission gear position and shift schedule.
Since there are four switches, there are 16 possible combinations of open and closed switches
(codes). Seven of these codes are related to gear position and three are recognized as "between
gear" codes. This results in six codes which should never occur. These are called "invalid" codes.
An invalid code will result in a DTC, and the TCM will then determine the shift lever position based
on pressure switch data. This allows reasonably normal transmission operation with a TRS failure.

DESCRIPTION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) is part of the solenoid module, which is mounted to the top
of the valve body inside the transmission.
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) has five switch contact pins that:
- Determine shift lever position
- Supply ground to the Starter Relay in Park and Neutral only.
- Supply +12 V to the backup lamps in Reverse only.
The TRS also has an integrated temperature sensor (thermistor) that communicates transmission
temperature to the TCM and PCM.

Transmission Position Switch/Sensor: Description and Operation 48RE Automatic Transmission
Description
DESCRIPTION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) has 3 primary functions:
- Provide a PARK/NEUTRAL start signal to the engine controller and the starter relay.
- Turn the Back-up lamps on when the transmission is in REVERSE and the engine (ignition) is on.
- Provide a transmission range signal to the instrument cluster.
The sensor is mounted in the transmission housing near the valve body, just above the pan rail. It's
in the same position as the Park/Neutral switch on other transmissions. The TRS contacts a
cammed surface on the manual valve lever. The cammed surface translates the rotational motion
of the manual lever into the linear motion of the sensor. The cammed surface on the manual lever
is comprised of two parts controlling the TRS signal: The insulator portion contacts the switch
poppet when the manual lever is not in PARK or NEUTRAL. The manual lever itself contacts the
poppet when the lever is in PARK or NEUTRAL; providing a ground for the signal from the starter
relay and the appropriate engine controller.

As the switch moves through its linear motion contacts slide across a circuit board which changes
the resistance between the range sensing pins of the switch. A power supply on the instrument
cluster provides a regulated voltage signal to the switch. The return signal is decoded by the
cluster, which then controls the PRNDL display to correspond with the correct transmission range.
A bus message of transmission range is also sent by the cluster. In REVERSE range a second
contact set closes the circuit providing power to the reverse lamps.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR (TRS)
NOTE: For all circuit identification in the following steps, Refer to the appropriate Wiring
Information.
1. Raise vehicle on suitable hoist. 2. Disconnect the vehicle's shift cable from the manual lever. 3.
With the manual lever in the PARK position (the PARK position is with the manual lever moved to
the full rearward position), measure the
resistance between the Park/Neutral Position Sense pin of the TRS and the transmission case. The
resistance should be less than 5 ohms.
4. With the manual lever in the NEUTRAL position (the NEUTRAL position is with the manual lever
moved two detents forward of the full
rearward position), measure the resistance between the Park/Neutral Position Sense pin of the
TRS and the transmission case. The resistance should be less than 5 ohms.
5. If the resistance is greater than 5 ohms in either of the previous steps, check for a dirty contact
between the tip of the TRS rod and the valve body
manual lever. If the contact is OK, replace the TRS.
6. With the manual lever in the REVERSE position (the REVERSE position is with the manual lever
moved one detent forward of the full rearward
position), measure the resistance between the Fused Ignition Switch Output and the Back-up Lamp
feed pins of the TRS. The resistance should be less than 5 ohms. If the resistance is greater than 5
ohms, replace the TRS.
7. With the manual lever in the PARK position (the PARK position is with the manual lever moved
to the full rearward position), measure the
resistance between the Transmission Range Sensor MUX and the Transmission Range Sensor 5V
Supply pins of the TRS. The resistance should be 522.2 ohms. If the resistance is not correct,
replace the TRS.
8. With the manual lever in the REVERSE position (the REVERSE position is with the manual lever
moved one detent forward of the full rearward
position), measure the resistance between the Transmission Range Sensor MUX and the
Transmission Range Sensor 5V Supply pins of the TRS. The resistance should be 206.2 ohms. If
the resistance is not correct, replace the TRS.
9. With the manual lever in the NEUTRAL position (the NEUTRAL position is with the manual lever
moved two detents forward of the full
rearward position), measure the resistance between the Transmission Range Sensor MUX and the
Transmission Range Sensor 5V Supply pins of the TRS. The resistance should be 108.6 ohms. If
the resistance is not correct, replace the TRS.
10. With the manual lever in the DRIVE position (the DRIVE position is with the manual lever
moved three detents forward of the full rearward
position), measure the resistance between the Transmission Range Sensor MUX and the
Transmission Range Sensor 5V Supply pins of the TRS. The resistance should be 59.9 ohms. If
the resistance is not correct, replace the TRS.
11. With the manual lever in the SECOND position (the SECOND position is with the manual lever
moved one detent rearward of the full forward
position), measure the resistance between the Transmission Range Sensor MUX and the Back-up
Lamp feed pins of the TRS. The resistance should be 31.9 ohms. If the resistance is not correct,
replace the TRS.
12. With the manual lever in the LOW position (the LOW position is with the manual lever moved to
the full forward position), measure the resistance
between the Transmission Range Sensor MUX and the Back-up Lamp feed pins of the TRS. The
resistance should be 13.7 ohms. If the resistance is not correct, replace the TRS.

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
All switches, components, and modules are shown in the at rest position with the doors closed and
the key removed from the ignition.
Components are shown two ways. A solid line around a component indicates that the component is
complete. A dashed line around the component indicates that the component is being shown is not
complete. Incomplete components have a reference number to indicate the page where the
component is shown complete.
It is important to realize that no attempt is made on the diagrams to represent components and
wiring as they appear on the vehicle. For example, a short piece of wire is treated the same as a
long one. In addition, switches and other components are shown as simply as possible, with regard
to function only.

CAUTION: Not all connectors are serviced. Some connectors are serviced only with a harness. A
typical example might be the Supplemental Restraint System connectors. Always check parts
availability before attempting a repair.
IDENTIFICATION
In-line connectors are identified by a number, as follows:
- In-line connectors located in the engine compartment are C100 series numbers.
- In-line connectors located in the instrument panel area are C200 series numbers.
- In-line connectors located in the body are C300 series numbers.
- Jumper harness connectors are C400 series numbers.
- Grounds and ground connectors are identified with a "G" and follow the same series numbering
as the in-line connectors.
- Splices are identified with an "S" and follow the same series numbering as the in-line connectors.
In addition, S001-S099 numbers are located in the engine compartment.
- Component connectors are identified by the component name instead of a number. Multiple
connectors on a component use a C1, C2, etc. identifier.

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Sensitive Devices
STANDARD PROCEDURE - ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) SENSITIVE DEVICES
All ESD sensitive components are solid state and a symbol is used to indicate this. When handling
any component with this symbol, comply with the following procedures to reduce the possibility of
electrostatic charge build up on the body and inadvertent discharge into the component. If it is not
known whether the part is ESD sensitive, assume that it is.
1. Always touch a known good ground before handling the part. This should be repeated while
handling the part and more frequently after sliding
across a seat, sitting down from a standing position, or walking a distance.
2. Avoid touching electrical terminals of the part, unless instructed to do so by a written procedure.
3. When using a voltmeter, be sure to connect the ground lead first. 4. Do not remove the part from
it's protective packing until it is time to install the part. 5. Before removing the part from it's
package, ground the package to a known good ground on the vehicle.
Testing Of Voltage Potential
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TESTING OF VOLTAGE POTENTIAL
1. Connect the ground lead of a voltmeter to a known good ground. 2. Connect the other lead of
the voltmeter to the selected test point. The vehicle ignition may need to be turned ON to check

Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- Ohmmeter - Used to check the resistance between two points of a circuit. Low or no resistance in
a circuit means good continuity.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking resistance in these circuits use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
In addition, make sure the power is disconnected from the circuit. Circuits that are powered up by
the vehicle's electrical system can cause damage to the equipment and provide false readings.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Sensors and Switches - Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches - Computers and Control Systems > Vehicle Speed Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 3712
- Probing Tools - These tools are used for probing terminals in connectors. Select the proper size
tool from Special Tool Package 6807, and insert the probing end (2) into the terminal being tested.
Use the other end of the tool (1) to insert the meter probe.
INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent electrical problems are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. It is also
possible for a sticking component or relay to cause a problem. Before condemning a component or
wiring assembly, check the following items.
- Connectors are fully seated
- Spread terminals, or terminal push out
- Terminals in the wiring assembly are fully seated into the connector/component and locked into
position
- Dirt or corrosion on the terminals. Any amount of corrosion or dirt could cause an intermittent
problem
- Damaged connector/component casing exposing the item to dirt or moisture
- Wire insulation that has rubbed through causing a short to ground
- Some or all of the wiring strands broken inside of the insulation
- Wiring broken inside of the insulation
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are six steps which can aid in the procedure. The
steps are listed and explained below. Always check for non-factory items added to the vehicle
before doing any diagnosis. If the vehicle is equipped with these items, disconnect them to verify
these add-on items are not the cause of the problem.
1. Verify the problem. 2. Verify any related symptoms. Do this by performing operational checks on
components that are in the same circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams. 3. Analyze the symptoms.
Use the wiring diagrams to determine what the circuit is doing, where the problem most likely is
occurring and where the
diagnosis will continue.
4. Isolate the problem area. 5. Repair the problem area. 6. Verify the proper operation. For this
step, check for proper operation of all items on the repaired circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams.

EGR Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation Operation-Cab/Chassis Models
OPERATION-CAB/CHASSIS MODELS
The EGR Temperature Sensor (1) is located on the EGR crossover tube (6) near the EGR valve.
The EGR temperature sensor is a negative temperature coefficient thermistor used to measure the
temperature of the EGR gas flow after it exits the EGR cooler.
The ECM (Engine Control Module) supplies 5-volts to the EGR temperature signal circuit. To
determine the temperature of the EGR gas flow, the ECM monitors the change in voltage caused
by changes in the resistance of the sensor. The ECM uses the exhaust gas recirculation
temperature value for the engine protection system, and also for engine emissions control.

Camshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
4.7L
The CMP sensor engine contains a hall effect device called a sync signal generator to generate a
fuel sync signal. This sync signal generator detects notches located on a tonewheel. The
tonewheel (4) is located at the front of the camshaft for the right cylinder head (2). As the
tonewheel rotates, the notches (1) pass through the sync signal generator. The pattern of the
notches (viewed counter-clockwise from front of engine) is: 1 notch, 2 notches, 3 notches, 3
notches, 2 notches, 1 notch, 3 notches and 1 notch. The signal from the CMP sensor is used in
conjunction with the crankshaft position sensor to differentiate between fuel injection and spark
events. It is also used to synchronize the fuel injectors with their respective cylinders.

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
4.7L V-8
Engine speed and crankshaft position are provided through the CKP (Crankshaft Position) sensor.
The sensor generates pulses that are the input sent to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The
PCM interprets the sensor input to determine the crankshaft position. The PCM then uses this
position, along with other inputs, to determine injector sequence and ignition timing.
The sensor is a hall effect device combined with an internal magnet. It is also sensitive to steel
within a certain distance from it.
A tonewheel (1) is bolted to the engine crankshaft. This tonewheel has sets of notches (2) at its
outer edge.
The notches cause a pulse to be generated when they pass under the sensor. The pulses are the
input to the PCM.

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
Two knock sensors are bolted into the cylinder block under the intake manifold 3.7L, 4.7L & 8.3L.
Two knock sensors are also used with the 5.7L. These are bolted into each side of the cylinder
block (outside) under the exhaust manifold.

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
Two knock sensors are used; 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 which constantly vibrates and sends an input
voltage (signal) to the PCM while the engine operates. As the 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
maximum authority that long term memory has over timing retard can be calibrated.
Short term memory is allowed to retard timing up to a preset amount under all operating conditions
(as long as rpm is above the minimum rpm) except at Wide Open Throttle (WOT). The PCM, using
short term memory, can respond quickly to retard timing when engine knock is detected. Short term
memory is lost any time the ignition key is turned off.
NOTE: Over or under tightening the sensor mounting bolts will affect knock sensor performance,
possibly causing improper spark control. Always use the specified torque when installing the knock
sensors.

Intake Air Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation
OPERATION
The IAT sensor provides an input voltage to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) indicating the
density of the air entering the intake manifold based upon intake manifold temperature. At key-on,
a 5-volt power circuit is supplied to the sensor from the PCM. The sensor is grounded at the PCM
through a low-noise, sensor-return circuit.
The PCM uses this input to calculate the following:
- Injector pulse-width
- Adjustment of spark timing (to help prevent spark knock with high intake manifold air-charge
temperatures)
The resistance values of the IAT sensor is the same as for the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT)
sensor.

DESCRIPTION
The Battery Temperature Sensor (BTS) is used only on the diesel engine. It is attached to the
battery tray located under the battery.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Battery Temperature Sensor >
Component Information > Description and Operation > Battery Temperature Sensor - Description > Page 3926
Battery Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation Battery Temperature Sensor - Operation
OPERATION
The BTS is used to determine the battery temperature and control battery charging rate. This
temperature data, along with data from monitored line voltage, is used by the PCM (ECM Diesel) to
vary the battery charging rate. System voltage will be higher at colder temperatures and is
gradually reduced at warmer temperatures.
The PCM sends 5 volts to the sensor and is grounded through the sensor return line. As
temperature increases, resistance in the sensor decreases and the detection voltage at the PCM
increases.
The BTS is also used for OBD II diagnostics. Certain faults and OBD II monitors are either enabled
or disabled, depending upon BTS input (for example, disable purge and enable Leak Detection
Pump (LDP) and O2 sensor heater tests). Most OBD II monitors are disabled below 20°F.

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
All switches, components, and modules are shown in the at rest position with the doors closed and
the key removed from the ignition.
Components are shown two ways. A solid line around a component indicates that the component is
complete. A dashed line around the component indicates that the component is being shown is not
complete. Incomplete components have a reference number to indicate the page where the
component is shown complete.
It is important to realize that no attempt is made on the diagrams to represent components and
wiring as they appear on the vehicle. For example, a short piece of wire is treated the same as a
long one. In addition, switches and other components are shown as simply as possible, with regard
to function only.

Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- Ohmmeter - Used to check the resistance between two points of a circuit. Low or no resistance in
a circuit means good continuity.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking resistance in these circuits use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
In addition, make sure the power is disconnected from the circuit. Circuits that are powered up by
the vehicle's electrical system can cause damage to the equipment and provide false readings.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Body Control Module >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3949
- Probing Tools - These tools are used for probing terminals in connectors. Select the proper size
tool from Special Tool Package 6807, and insert the probing end (2) into the terminal being tested.
Use the other end of the tool (1) to insert the meter probe.
INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent electrical problems are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. It is also
possible for a sticking component or relay to cause a problem. Before condemning a component or
wiring assembly, check the following items.
- Connectors are fully seated
- Spread terminals, or terminal push out
- Terminals in the wiring assembly are fully seated into the connector/component and locked into
position
- Dirt or corrosion on the terminals. Any amount of corrosion or dirt could cause an intermittent
problem
- Damaged connector/component casing exposing the item to dirt or moisture
- Wire insulation that has rubbed through causing a short to ground
- Some or all of the wiring strands broken inside of the insulation
- Wiring broken inside of the insulation
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are six steps which can aid in the procedure. The
steps are listed and explained below. Always check for non-factory items added to the vehicle
before doing any diagnosis. If the vehicle is equipped with these items, disconnect them to verify
these add-on items are not the cause of the problem.
1. Verify the problem. 2. Verify any related symptoms. Do this by performing operational checks on
components that are in the same circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams. 3. Analyze the symptoms.
Use the wiring diagrams to determine what the circuit is doing, where the problem most likely is
occurring and where the
diagnosis will continue.
4. Isolate the problem area. 5. Repair the problem area. 6. Verify the proper operation. For this
step, check for proper operation of all items on the repaired circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams.

Camshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
4.7L
The CMP sensor engine contains a hall effect device called a sync signal generator to generate a
fuel sync signal. This sync signal generator detects notches located on a tonewheel. The
tonewheel (4) is located at the front of the camshaft for the right cylinder head (2). As the
tonewheel rotates, the notches (1) pass through the sync signal generator. The pattern of the
notches (viewed counter-clockwise from front of engine) is: 1 notch, 2 notches, 3 notches, 3
notches, 2 notches, 1 notch, 3 notches and 1 notch. The signal from the CMP sensor is used in
conjunction with the crankshaft position sensor to differentiate between fuel injection and spark
events. It is also used to synchronize the fuel injectors with their respective cylinders.

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
4.7L V-8
Engine speed and crankshaft position are provided through the CKP (Crankshaft Position) sensor.
The sensor generates pulses that are the input sent to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The
PCM interprets the sensor input to determine the crankshaft position. The PCM then uses this
position, along with other inputs, to determine injector sequence and ignition timing.
The sensor is a hall effect device combined with an internal magnet. It is also sensitive to steel
within a certain distance from it.
A tonewheel (1) is bolted to the engine crankshaft. This tonewheel has sets of notches (2) at its
outer edge.
The notches cause a pulse to be generated when they pass under the sensor. The pulses are the
input to the PCM.

page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
All switches, components, and modules are shown in the at rest position with the doors closed and
the key removed from the ignition.
Components are shown two ways. A solid line around a component indicates that the component is
complete. A dashed line around the component indicates that the component is being shown is not
complete. Incomplete components have a reference number to indicate the page where the
component is shown complete.
It is important to realize that no attempt is made on the diagrams to represent components and
wiring as they appear on the vehicle. For example, a short piece of wire is treated the same as a
long one. In addition, switches and other components are shown as simply as possible, with regard
to function only.

DESCRIPTION - CONNECTOR, GROUND AND SPLICE INFORMATION
CAUTION: Not all connectors are serviced. Some connectors are serviced only with a harness. A
typical example might be the Supplemental Restraint System connectors. Always check parts
availability before attempting a repair.
IDENTIFICATION
In-line connectors are identified by a number, as follows:
- In-line connectors located in the engine compartment are C100 series numbers.
- In-line connectors located in the instrument panel area are C200 series numbers.
- In-line connectors located in the body are C300 series numbers.
- Jumper harness connectors are C400 series numbers.
- Grounds and ground connectors are identified with a "G" and follow the same series numbering
as the in-line connectors.
- Splices are identified with an "S" and follow the same series numbering as the in-line connectors.
In addition, S001-S099 numbers are located in the engine compartment.
- Component connectors are identified by the component name instead of a number. Multiple
connectors on a component use a C1, C2, etc. identifier.

All ESD sensitive components are solid state and a symbol is used to indicate this. When handling
any component with this symbol, comply with the following procedures to reduce the possibility of
electrostatic charge build up on the body and inadvertent discharge into the component. If it is not
known whether the part is ESD sensitive, assume that it is.
1. Always touch a known good ground before handling the part. This should be repeated while
handling the part and more frequently after sliding
across a seat, sitting down from a standing position, or walking a distance.
2. Avoid touching electrical terminals of the part, unless instructed to do so by a written procedure.
3. When using a voltmeter, be sure to connect the ground lead first. 4. Do not remove the part from
it's protective packing until it is time to install the part. 5. Before removing the part from it's
package, ground the package to a known good ground on the vehicle.

Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- Ohmmeter - Used to check the resistance between two points of a circuit. Low or no resistance in
a circuit means good continuity.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking resistance in these circuits use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
In addition, make sure the power is disconnected from the circuit. Circuits that are powered up by
the vehicle's electrical system can cause damage to the equipment and provide false readings.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Data Link Connector >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4051
- Probing Tools - These tools are used for probing terminals in connectors. Select the proper size
tool from Special Tool Package 6807, and insert the probing end (2) into the terminal being tested.
Use the other end of the tool (1) to insert the meter probe.
INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent electrical problems are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. It is also
possible for a sticking component or relay to cause a problem. Before condemning a component or
wiring assembly, check the following items.
- Connectors are fully seated
- Spread terminals, or terminal push out
- Terminals in the wiring assembly are fully seated into the connector/component and locked into
position
- Dirt or corrosion on the terminals. Any amount of corrosion or dirt could cause an intermittent
problem
- Damaged connector/component casing exposing the item to dirt or moisture
- Wire insulation that has rubbed through causing a short to ground
- Some or all of the wiring strands broken inside of the insulation
- Wiring broken inside of the insulation
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are six steps which can aid in the procedure. The
steps are listed and explained below. Always check for non-factory items added to the vehicle
before doing any diagnosis. If the vehicle is equipped with these items, disconnect them to verify
these add-on items are not the cause of the problem.
1. Verify the problem. 2. Verify any related symptoms. Do this by performing operational checks on
components that are in the same circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams. 3. Analyze the symptoms.
Use the wiring diagrams to determine what the circuit is doing, where the problem most likely is
occurring and where the
diagnosis will continue.
4. Isolate the problem area. 5. Repair the problem area. 6. Verify the proper operation. For this
step, check for proper operation of all items on the repaired circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams.

Electronic Throttle Control Indicator: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
An Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters.
However, on vehicles not equipped with the optional 5.7 liter gasoline engine, this indicator is
electronically disabled. This indicator is located in the lower portion of the tachometer dial face in
the instrument cluster overlay.
The ETC indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the International Control and Display Symbol
icon for Electronic Throttle Control in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster overlay. The dark
outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated.
A red Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the overlay causes the
indicator to appear in red through the translucent outer layer of the overlay when it is illuminated
from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
The ETC indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Electronic Throttle Control Indicator: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the
ETC system, or a circuit or component of the system is ineffective. The ETC indicator is controlled
by a transistor on the instrument cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming and
electronic messages received by the cluster from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) over the
Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The ETC indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument cluster
logic circuit, and that logic will only allow this indicator to operate when the instrument cluster
receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the
LED will always be OFF when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED
only illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The
instrument cluster will turn ON the ETC indicator for the following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position the ETC indicator is
illuminated for about six seconds. The entire bulb test is a function of the PCM.
- ETC Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic ETC indicator
lamp-ON message from the PCM, the ETC indicator will be illuminated. The indicator can be
flashed ON and OFF, or illuminated solid, as dictated by the PCM message. The indicator remains
illuminated solid or continues to flash for about 12 seconds or until the cluster receives a lamp-OFF
message from the PCM, whichever is longer. If the indicator is illuminated solid with the engine
running the vehicle will usually remain drivable. If the indicator is flashing with the engine running
the vehicle may require towing. A flashing indicator means the ETC system requires immediate
service. The indicator will be extinguished when the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position.
- Communication Error - If the cluster receives no lamp-ON or lamp-OFF messages from the PCM
for three consecutive seconds, the ETC indicator is illuminated. The indicator remains illuminated
until the cluster receives a single lamp-OFF message from the PCM.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the ETC indicator will be
turned ON, then OFF again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of
the LED and the cluster control circuitry. The actuator test illumination of the ETC indicator is a
function of the PCM.
The PCM continually monitors the ETC system circuits and sensors to decide whether the system
is in good operating condition. The PCM then sends the proper lamp-ON or lamp-OFF message to
the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment
Node/CCN). If the PCM sends a lamp-ON message after the bulb test, it indicates that the PCM
has detected an ETC system malfunction or that the ETC system is ineffective. The PCM will store
a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for any malfunction it detects. Each time the ETC indicator fails
to illuminate due to an open or short in the cluster ETC indicator circuit, the cluster sends a
message notifying the PCM of the condition, then the EMIC and the PCM will each store a DTC.
For proper diagnosis of the ETC system, the PCM, the EMIC, the CAN data bus or the electronic
communication related to ETC indicator operation a diagnostic scan tool is required. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
All switches, components, and modules are shown in the at rest position with the doors closed and
the key removed from the ignition.
Components are shown two ways. A solid line around a component indicates that the component is
complete. A dashed line around the component indicates that the component is being shown is not
complete. Incomplete components have a reference number to indicate the page where the
component is shown complete.
It is important to realize that no attempt is made on the diagrams to represent components and
wiring as they appear on the vehicle. For example, a short piece of wire is treated the same as a
long one. In addition, switches and other components are shown as simply as possible, with regard
to function only.

Connector, Ground and Splice Information
DESCRIPTION - CONNECTOR, GROUND AND SPLICE INFORMATION
CAUTION: Not all connectors are serviced. Some connectors are serviced only with a harness. A
typical example might be the Supplemental Restraint System connectors. Always check parts
availability before attempting a repair.
IDENTIFICATION
In-line connectors are identified by a number, as follows:
- In-line connectors located in the engine compartment are C100 series numbers.
- In-line connectors located in the instrument panel area are C200 series numbers.
- In-line connectors located in the body are C300 series numbers.
- Jumper harness connectors are C400 series numbers.
- Grounds and ground connectors are identified with a "G" and follow the same series numbering
as the in-line connectors.
- Splices are identified with an "S" and follow the same series numbering as the in-line connectors.
In addition, S001-S099 numbers are located in the engine compartment.
- Component connectors are identified by the component name instead of a number. Multiple
connectors on a component use a C1, C2, etc. identifier.
LOCATIONS
Vehicle/Locations contains the master connector/ground/splice location index charts with
hyperlinks to the applicable location illustrations. The illustrations contain the connector name (or
number)/ground number/splice number and component identification.
The abbreviation T/O is used in the component location section to indicate a point in which the
wiring harness branches out to a component. The abbreviation N/S means Not Shown in the
illustrations

Engine Control Module: Diagnostic Aids
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Sensitive Devices
STANDARD PROCEDURE - ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) SENSITIVE DEVICES
All ESD sensitive components are solid state and a symbol is used to indicate this. When handling
any component with this symbol, comply with the following procedures to reduce the possibility of
electrostatic charge build up on the body and inadvertent discharge into the component. If it is not
known whether the part is ESD sensitive, assume that it is.
1. Always touch a known good ground before handling the part. This should be repeated while
handling the part and more frequently after sliding
across a seat, sitting down from a standing position, or walking a distance.
2. Avoid touching electrical terminals of the part, unless instructed to do so by a written procedure.
3. When using a voltmeter, be sure to connect the ground lead first. 4. Do not remove the part from
it's protective packing until it is time to install the part. 5. Before removing the part from it's
package, ground the package to a known good ground on the vehicle.
Testing Of Voltage Potential
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TESTING OF VOLTAGE POTENTIAL
1. Connect the ground lead of a voltmeter to a known good ground. 2. Connect the other lead of
the voltmeter to the selected test point. The vehicle ignition may need to be turned ON to check
voltage. Refer to the
appropriate test procedure.

Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- Ohmmeter - Used to check the resistance between two points of a circuit. Low or no resistance in
a circuit means good continuity.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking resistance in these circuits use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
In addition, make sure the power is disconnected from the circuit. Circuits that are powered up by
the vehicle's electrical system can cause damage to the equipment and provide false readings.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4120
- Probing Tools - These tools are used for probing terminals in connectors. Select the proper size
tool from Special Tool Package 6807, and insert the probing end (2) into the terminal being tested.
Use the other end of the tool (1) to insert the meter probe.
INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent electrical problems are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. It is also
possible for a sticking component or relay to cause a problem. Before condemning a component or
wiring assembly, check the following items.
- Connectors are fully seated
- Spread terminals, or terminal push out
- Terminals in the wiring assembly are fully seated into the connector/component and locked into
position
- Dirt or corrosion on the terminals. Any amount of corrosion or dirt could cause an intermittent
problem
- Damaged connector/component casing exposing the item to dirt or moisture
- Wire insulation that has rubbed through causing a short to ground
- Some or all of the wiring strands broken inside of the insulation
- Wiring broken inside of the insulation
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are six steps which can aid in the procedure. The
steps are listed and explained below. Always check for non-factory items added to the vehicle
before doing any diagnosis. If the vehicle is equipped with these items, disconnect them to verify
these add-on items are not the cause of the problem.
1. Verify the problem. 2. Verify any related symptoms. Do this by performing operational checks on
components that are in the same circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams. 3. Analyze the symptoms.
Use the wiring diagrams to determine what the circuit is doing, where the problem most likely is
occurring and where the
diagnosis will continue.
4. Isolate the problem area. 5. Repair the problem area. 6. Verify the proper operation. For this
step, check for proper operation of all items on the repaired circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams.

Engine Control Module: Description and Operation Powertrain Control Module - Description
Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM)
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is located in the right-rear section of the engine
compartment under the cowl.
Two different PCM's are used (JTEC and NGC). These can be easily identified. JTEC's use three
32-way connectors, NGC's use four 38-way connectors
Modes Of Operation
MODES OF OPERATION
As input signals to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) change, the PCM adjusts its response to
the output devices. For example, the PCM must calculate different injector pulse width and ignition
timing for idle than it does for wide open throttle (WOT).
The PCM will operate in two different modes: Open Loop and Closed Loop.
During Open Loop modes, the PCM receives input signals and responds only according to preset
PCM programming. Input from the oxygen (O2S) sensors is not monitored during Open Loop
modes.
During Closed Loop modes, the PCM will monitor the oxygen (O2S) sensors input. This input
indicates to the PCM whether or not the calculated injector pulse width results in the ideal air-fuel
ratio. This ratio is 14.7 parts air-to-1 part fuel. By monitoring the exhaust oxygen content through
the O2S sensor, the PCM can fine tune the injector pulse width. This is done to achieve optimum
fuel economy combined with low emission engine performance.
The fuel injection system has the following modes of operation:
- Ignition switch ON
- Engine start-up (crank)
- Engine warm-up
- Idle
- Cruise
- Acceleration
- Deceleration
- Wide open throttle (WOT)
- Ignition switch OFF
The ignition switch On, engine start-up (crank), engine warm-up, acceleration, deceleration and
wide open throttle modes are Open Loop modes. The idle and cruise modes, (with the engine at
operating temperature) are Closed Loop modes.

Component Information > Description and Operation > Powertrain Control Module - Description > Page 4160
IGNITION SWITCH (KEY-ON) MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. When the fuel system is activated by the ignition switch, the following
actions occur:
- The PCM pre-positions the idle air control (IAC) motor.
- The PCM determines atmospheric air pressure from the MAP sensor input to determine basic fuel
strategy.
- The PCM monitors the engine coolant temperature sensor input. The PCM modifies fuel strategy
based on this input.
- Intake manifold air temperature sensor input is monitored.
- Throttle position sensor (TPS) is monitored.
- The auto shutdown (ASD) relay is energized by the PCM for approximately three seconds.
- The fuel pump is energized through the fuel pump relay by the PCM. The fuel pump will operate
for approximately three seconds unless the engine is operating or the starter motor is engaged.
- The O2S sensor heater element is energized via the ASD or O2S heater relay. The O2S sensor
input is not used by the PCM to calibrate air-fuel ratio during this mode of operation.
ENGINE START-UP MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. The following actions occur when the starter motor is engaged.
The PCM receives inputs from:
- Battery voltage
- Engine coolant temperature sensor
- Crankshaft position sensor
- Intake manifold air temperature sensor
- Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
- Throttle position sensor (TPS)
- Camshaft position sensor signal
The PCM monitors the crankshaft position sensor. If the PCM does not receive a crankshaft
position sensor signal within 3 seconds of cranking the engine, it will shut down the fuel injection
system.
The fuel pump is activated by the PCM through the fuel pump relay.
Voltage is applied to the fuel injectors with the ASD relay via the PCM. The PCM will then control
the injection sequence and injector pulse width by turning the ground circuit to each individual
injector on and off.
The PCM determines the proper ignition timing according to input received from the crankshaft
position sensor.
ENGINE WARM-UP MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. During engine warm-up, the PCM receives inputs from:
- Battery voltage
- Crankshaft position sensor
- Engine coolant temperature sensor
- Intake manifold air temperature sensor
- Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
- Throttle position sensor (TPS)
- Camshaft position sensor signal
- Park/neutral switch (gear indicator signal-auto. trans. only)
- Air conditioning select signal (if equipped)
- Air conditioning request signal (if equipped)
Based on these inputs the following occurs:
- Voltage is applied to the fuel injectors with the ASD relay via the PCM. The PCM will then control
the injection sequence and injector pulse width by turning the ground circuit to each individual
injector on and off.
- The PCM adjusts engine idle speed through the idle air control (IAC) motor and adjusts ignition
timing.
- The PCM operates the A/C compressor clutch through the A/C compressor clutch relay. This is
done if A/C has been selected by the vehicle operator and specified pressures are met at the high
and low-pressure A/C switches.
- When engine has reached operating temperature, the PCM will begin monitoring O2S sensor
input. The system will then leave the warm-up mode and go into closed loop operation.
IDLE MODE

When the engine is at operating temperature, this is a Closed Loop mode. At idle speed, the PCM
receives inputs from:
- Air conditioning select signal (if equipped)
- Air conditioning request signal (if equipped)
- Battery voltage
- Crankshaft position sensor
- Engine coolant temperature sensor
- Intake manifold air temperature sensor
- Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
- Throttle position sensor (TPS)
- Camshaft position sensor signal
- Battery voltage
- Park/neutral switch (gear indicator signal-auto. trans. only)
- Oxygen sensors
Based on these inputs, the following occurs:
- Voltage is applied to the fuel injectors with the ASD relay via the PCM. The PCM will then control
injection sequence and injector pulse width by turning the ground circuit to each individual injector
on and off.
- The PCM monitors the O2S sensor input and adjusts air-fuel ratio by varying injector pulse width.
It also adjusts engine idle speed through the idle air control (IAC) motor.
- The PCM adjusts ignition timing by increasing and decreasing spark advance.
- The PCM operates the A/C compressor clutch through the A/C compressor clutch relay. This is
done if A/C has been selected by the vehicle operator and specified pressures are met at the high
and low-pressure A/C switches.
CRUISE MODE
When the engine is at operating temperature, this is a Closed Loop mode. At cruising speed, the
PCM receives inputs from:
- Air conditioning select signal (if equipped)
- Air conditioning request signal (if equipped)
- Battery voltage
- Engine coolant temperature sensor
- Crankshaft position sensor
- Intake manifold air temperature sensor
- Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
- Throttle position sensor (TPS)
- Camshaft position sensor signal
- Park/neutral switch (gear indicator signal-auto. trans. only)
- Oxygen (O2S) sensors
Based on these inputs, the following occurs:
- Voltage is applied to the fuel injectors with the ASD relay via the PCM. The PCM will then adjust
the injector pulse width by turning the ground circuit to each individual injector on and off.
- The PCM monitors the O2S sensor input and adjusts air-fuel ratio. It also adjusts engine idle
speed through the idle air control (IAC) motor.
- The PCM adjusts ignition timing by turning the ground path to the coil(s) on and off.
- The PCM operates the A/C compressor clutch through the clutch relay. This happens if A/C has
been selected by the vehicle operator and requested by the A/C thermostat.
ACCELERATION MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. The PCM recognizes an abrupt increase in throttle position or MAP
pressure as a demand for increased engine output and vehicle acceleration. The PCM increases
injector pulse width in response to increased throttle opening.
DECELERATION MODE
When the engine is at operating temperature, this is an Open Loop mode. During hard
deceleration, the PCM receives the following inputs.
- Air conditioning select signal (if equipped)
- Air conditioning request signal (if equipped)
- Battery voltage
- Engine coolant temperature sensor
- Crankshaft position sensor
- Intake manifold air temperature sensor

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module >
Component Information > Description and Operation > Powertrain Control Module - Description > Page 4162
- Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
- Throttle position sensor (TPS)
- Camshaft position sensor signal
- Park/neutral switch (gear indicator signal-auto. trans. only)
- Vehicle speed
If the vehicle is under hard deceleration with the proper rpm and closed throttle conditions, the
PCM will ignore the oxygen sensor input signal. The PCM will enter a fuel cut-off strategy in which
it will not supply a ground to the injectors. If a hard deceleration does not exist, the PCM will
determine the proper injector pulse width and continue injection.
Based on the above inputs, the PCM will adjust engine idle speed through the idle air control (IAC)
motor.
The PCM adjusts ignition timing by turning the ground path to the coil on and off.
WIDE OPEN THROTTLE MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. During wide open throttle operation, the PCM receives the following
inputs.
- Battery voltage
- Crankshaft position sensor
- Engine coolant temperature sensor
- Intake manifold air temperature sensor
- Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
- Throttle position sensor (TPS)
- Camshaft position sensor signal
During wide open throttle conditions, the following occurs:
- Voltage is applied to the fuel injectors with the ASD relay via the PCM. The PCM will then control
the injection sequence and injector pulse width by turning the ground circuit to each individual
injector on and off. The PCM ignores the oxygen sensor input signal and provides a predetermined
amount of additional fuel. This is done by adjusting injector pulse width.
- The PCM adjusts ignition timing by turning the ground path to the coil(s) on and off.
IGNITION SWITCH OFF MODE
When ignition switch is turned to OFF position, the PCM stops operating the injectors, ignition coil,
ASD relay and fuel pump relay.

Engine Control Module: Description and Operation Powertrain Control Module - Operation
Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM)
The PCM operates the fuel system. The PCM is a pre-programmed, triple microprocessor digital
computer. It regulates ignition timing, air-fuel ratio, emission control devices, charging system,
certain transmission features, speed control, air conditioning compressor clutch engagement and
idle speed. The PCM can adapt its programming to meet changing operating conditions.
The PCM receives input signals from various switches and sensors. Based on these inputs, the
PCM regulates various engine and vehicle operations through different system components. These
components are referred to as Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Outputs. The sensors and
switches that provide inputs to the PCM are considered Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Inputs.
The PCM adjusts ignition timing based upon inputs it receives from sensors that react to: engine
rpm, manifold absolute pressure, engine coolant temperature, throttle position, transmission gear
selection (automatic transmission), vehicle speed, power steering pump pressure, and the brake
switch.
The PCM adjusts idle speed based on inputs it receives from sensors that react to: throttle position,
vehicle speed, transmission gear selection, engine coolant temperature and from inputs it receives
from the air conditioning clutch switch and brake switch.
Based on inputs that it receives, the PCM adjusts ignition coil dwell. The PCM also adjusts the
generator charge rate through control of the generator field and provides speed control operation.

Ignition Circuit Sense
IGNITION CIRCUIT SENSE
The ignition circuit sense input tells the PCM the ignition switch has energized the ignition circuit.
Battery voltage is also supplied to the PCM through the ignition switch when the ignition is in the
RUN or START position. This is referred to as the "ignition sense" circuit and is used to "wake up"
the PCM. Voltage on the ignition input can be as low as 6 volts and the PCM will still function.
Voltage is supplied to this circuit to power the PCM's 8-volt regulator and to allow the PCM to
perform fuel, ignition and emissions control functions.

Engine Control Module: Testing and Inspection SKREEM Programming
SKREEM PROGRAMMING
When a Powertrain Control Module (PCM) for a gasoline engine, or an Engine Control Module
(ECM) for a diesel engine and the Sentry Key Remote Entry Module (SKREEM) (also known as the
Wireless Control Module/WCM) on vehicles equipped with the Sentry Key Immobilizer System
(SKIS) are replaced at the same time, perform the following steps in order:
NOTE: If the PCM and the SKREEM are replaced at the same time, program the PCM VIN into the
PCM first.
1. If applicable first replace the PCM/ECM with the original WCM still connected to the vehicle. 2.
Using the appropriate service information program the new PCM/ECM. (This will ensure the Secret
Key Transfer from the original WCM into the
new PCM/ECM).
3. Now replace and program the WCM. This will retain the Secret Key from the PCM/ECM back
into the new WCM. 4. With the scan tool, select Miscellaneous Functions, WCM/Wireless Control
Module. Then select the desired procedure and follow the display on
the scan tool.
5. If the vehicle is equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring System program the Placard Pressure
Values into the WCM/SKREEM. 6. Ensure all the customer's keys have been programmed into the
new module if necessary.
NOTE: If the original keys do not successfully program to the new SKREEM after the proper
procedures are followed correctly, programming new keys will be necessary.
PROGRAMMING THE SKREEM
The SKIS Secret Key is an ID code that is unique to each SKREEM/WCM. This code is
programmed and stored in the SKREEM/WCM, the PCM/ECM, and each ignition key transponder
chip. When the PCM/ECM or SKREEM/WCM is replaced, it is necessary to program the Secret
Key into the new module using a diagnostic scan tool. Follow the programming steps outlined in
the diagnostic scan tool for PCM REPLACED , ECM REPLACED , WCM REPLACED , or
GATEWAY REPLACED under MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS for the WIRELESS CONTROL
MODULE/WCM menu item as appropriate.
NOTE: Programming the PCM/ECM or SKREEM is done using a diagnostic scan tool and a PIN to
enter secure access mode. If three attempts are made to enter secure access mode using an
incorrect PIN, secure access mode will be locked out for one hour. To exit this lockout mode, turn
the ignition to the RUN position for one hour then enter the correct PIN. Be certain that all
accessories are turned OFF. Also monitor the battery state and connect a battery charger if
necessary.
NOTE: Before replacing the ECU for a failed driver, control circuit or ground circuit, be sure to
check the related component/circuit integrity for failures not detected due to a double fault in the
circuit. Most ECM driver/control circuit failures are caused by internal component failures (i.e. relay
and solenoids) and shorted circuits (i.e. pull-ups, drivers and switched circuits). These failures are
difficult to detect when a double fault has occurred and only one DTC has set.
ECM/SKIM/WCM PROGRAMMING
When a ECM and the SKIM are replaced at the same time perform the following steps in order:
1. Program the new SKIM 2. Program the new ECM 3. Replace all ignition keys and program them
to the new SKIM.
ECM/SKIM/WCM PROGRAMMING
When an ECM (Bosch) and the SKIM are replaced at the same time perform the following steps in
order:
1. Program the new SKIM 2. Program the new ECM (Bosch) 3. Replace all ignition keys and
program them to the new SKIM.
PROGRAMMING THE SKIM
CAUTION: Read all notes and cautions for programming procedures.
1. Connect a battery charger to the vehicle. 2. Connect the StarSCAN(R).
CAUTION: If the ECM/PCM and SKREEM/WCM are replaced at the same time, the ECM/PCM
MUST be programmed before the
Dodge Ram 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (Truck V8-4.7L (2008))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module >
Component Information > Testing and Inspection > SKREEM Programming > Page 4168
SKREEM/WCM.
3. Select "ECU View". 4. Select "WCM Wireless Control Module". 5. Select "Miscellaneous
Functions". 6. Select WCM replaced. 7. Enter the PIN when prompted. 8. Verify the correct
information.
NOTE: If the ECM and the SKIM are replaced at the same time, all vehicle keys will need to be
replaced and programmed to the new SKIM.
PROGRAMMING IGNITION KEYS TO THE SKREEM
Each ignition key transponder also has a unique ID code that is assigned at the time the key is
manufactured. When a key is programmed into the SKREEM/WCM, the transponder ID code is
learned by the module and the transponder acquires the unique Secret Key ID code from the
SKREEM/WCM. To program ignition keys into the SKREEM/WCM, follow the programming steps
outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for PROGRAM IGNITION KEYS OR KEY FOBS under
MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS for the WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE/WCM menu item.
NOTE: If the original keys do not successfully program to the new SKREEM after the proper
procedures are followed correctly, programming new keys will be necessary.
NOTE: A maximum of eight keys can be learned to each SKREEM. Once a key is learned to a
SKREEM, that key has acquired the Secret Key for that SKREEM and cannot be transferred to any
other SKREEM or vehicle.
If ignition key programming is unsuccessful, the scan tool will display one of the following error
messages:
- PROGRAMMING NOT ATTEMPTED - The scan tool attempts to read the programmed key status
and there are no keys programmed into SKREEM memory.
- PROGRAMMING KEY FAILED (POSSIBLE USED KEY FROM WRONG VEHICLE) - SKREEM is
unable to program an ignition key transponder due to one of the following:
- The ignition key transponder is ineffective.
- The ignition key transponder is or has been already programmed to another vehicle.
- 8 KEYS ALREADY LEARNED, PROGRAMMING NOT DONE - The SKREEM transponder ID
memory is full.
LEARNED KEY IN IGNITION - The ID for the ignition key transponder currently in the ignition lock
cylinder is already programmed into SKREEM memory.

Fuel Level Sensor: Description and Operation Fuel Pump
Description
DESCRIPTION
The electric fuel pump is located inside of the fuel pump module. A 12 volt, permanent magnet,
electric motor powers the fuel pump. The electric fuel pump is not a separate, serviceable
component.
Operation
OPERATION
Voltage to operate the electric pump is supplied through the fuel pump relay.
Fuel is drawn in through a filter at the bottom of the module and pushed through the electric motor
gearset to the pump outlet.
Check Valve Operation: The bottom section of the fuel pump module contains a one-way check
valve to prevent fuel flow back into the tank and to maintain fuel supply line pressure (engine
warm) when pump is not operational. It is also used to keep the fuel supply line full of gasoline
when pump is not operational. After the vehicle has cooled down, fuel pressure may drop to 0 psi
(cold fluid contracts), but liquid gasoline will remain in fuel supply line between the check valve and
fuel injectors.Fuel pressure that has dropped to 0 psi on a cooled down vehicle (engine off) is a
normal condition.
The electric fuel pump is not a separate, serviceable component.

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
All switches, components, and modules are shown in the at rest position with the doors closed and
the key removed from the ignition.
Components are shown two ways. A solid line around a component indicates that the component is
complete. A dashed line around the component indicates that the component is being shown is not
complete. Incomplete components have a reference number to indicate the page where the
component is shown complete.
It is important to realize that no attempt is made on the diagrams to represent components and
wiring as they appear on the vehicle. For example, a short piece of wire is treated the same as a
long one. In addition, switches and other components are shown as simply as possible, with regard
to function only.

Connector, Ground and Splice Information
DESCRIPTION - CONNECTOR, GROUND AND SPLICE INFORMATION
CAUTION: Not all connectors are serviced. Some connectors are serviced only with a harness. A
typical example might be the Supplemental Restraint System connectors. Always check parts
availability before attempting a repair.
IDENTIFICATION
In-line connectors are identified by a number, as follows:
- In-line connectors located in the engine compartment are C100 series numbers.
- In-line connectors located in the instrument panel area are C200 series numbers.
- In-line connectors located in the body are C300 series numbers.
- Jumper harness connectors are C400 series numbers.
- Grounds and ground connectors are identified with a "G" and follow the same series numbering
as the in-line connectors.
- Splices are identified with an "S" and follow the same series numbering as the in-line connectors.
In addition, S001-S099 numbers are located in the engine compartment.
- Component connectors are identified by the component name instead of a number. Multiple
connectors on a component use a C1, C2, etc. identifier.
LOCATIONS

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Sensitive Devices
STANDARD PROCEDURE - ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) SENSITIVE DEVICES
All ESD sensitive components are solid state and a symbol is used to indicate this. When handling
any component with this symbol, comply with the following procedures to reduce the possibility of
electrostatic charge build up on the body and inadvertent discharge into the component. If it is not
known whether the part is ESD sensitive, assume that it is.
1. Always touch a known good ground before handling the part. This should be repeated while
handling the part and more frequently after sliding
across a seat, sitting down from a standing position, or walking a distance.
2. Avoid touching electrical terminals of the part, unless instructed to do so by a written procedure.
3. When using a voltmeter, be sure to connect the ground lead first. 4. Do not remove the part from
it's protective packing until it is time to install the part. 5. Before removing the part from it's
package, ground the package to a known good ground on the vehicle.

Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- Ohmmeter - Used to check the resistance between two points of a circuit. Low or no resistance in
a circuit means good continuity.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking resistance in these circuits use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
In addition, make sure the power is disconnected from the circuit. Circuits that are powered up by
the vehicle's electrical system can cause damage to the equipment and provide false readings.
Dodge Ram 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (Truck V8-4.7L (2008))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Information Bus > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4216
- Probing Tools - These tools are used for probing terminals in connectors. Select the proper size
tool from Special Tool Package 6807, and insert the probing end (2) into the terminal being tested.
Use the other end of the tool (1) to insert the meter probe.
INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent electrical problems are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. It is also
possible for a sticking component or relay to cause a problem. Before condemning a component or
wiring assembly, check the following items.
- Connectors are fully seated
- Spread terminals, or terminal push out
- Terminals in the wiring assembly are fully seated into the connector/component and locked into
position
- Dirt or corrosion on the terminals. Any amount of corrosion or dirt could cause an intermittent
problem
- Damaged connector/component casing exposing the item to dirt or moisture
- Wire insulation that has rubbed through causing a short to ground
- Some or all of the wiring strands broken inside of the insulation
- Wiring broken inside of the insulation
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are six steps which can aid in the procedure. The
steps are listed and explained below. Always check for non-factory items added to the vehicle
before doing any diagnosis. If the vehicle is equipped with these items, disconnect them to verify
these add-on items are not the cause of the problem.
1. Verify the problem. 2. Verify any related symptoms. Do this by performing operational checks on
components that are in the same circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams. 3. Analyze the symptoms.
Use the wiring diagrams to determine what the circuit is doing, where the problem most likely is
occurring and where the
diagnosis will continue.
4. Isolate the problem area. 5. Repair the problem area. 6. Verify the proper operation. For this
step, check for proper operation of all items on the repaired circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams.

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
Two knock sensors are bolted into the cylinder block under the intake manifold 3.7L, 4.7L & 8.3L.
Two knock sensors are also used with the 5.7L. These are bolted into each side of the cylinder
block (outside) under the exhaust manifold.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Knock Sensor > Component
Information > Description and Operation > Description > Page 4245
Knock Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
Two knock sensors are used; 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 which constantly vibrates and sends an input
voltage (signal) to the PCM while the engine operates. As the 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
maximum authority that long term memory has over timing retard can be calibrated.
Short term memory is allowed to retard timing up to a preset amount under all operating conditions
(as long as rpm is above the minimum rpm) except at Wide Open Throttle (WOT). The PCM, using
short term memory, can respond quickly to retard timing when engine knock is detected. Short term
memory is lost any time the ignition key is turned off.
NOTE: Over or under tightening the sensor mounting bolts will affect knock sensor performance,
possibly causing improper spark control. Always use the specified torque when installing the knock
sensors.

The following description of operation and tests apply only to the Automatic Shutdown (ASD) and
fuel pump relays. The terminals on the bottom of each relay are numbered. Two different types of
relays may be used, or.
- Terminal number 30 is connected to battery voltage. For both the ASD and fuel pump relays,
terminal 30 is connected to battery voltage at all times.
- The PCM grounds the coil side of the relay through terminal number 85.
- Terminal number 86 supplies voltage to the coil side of the relay.
- When the PCM de-energizes the ASD and fuel pump relays, terminal number 87A connects to
terminal 30. This is the OFF position. In the OFF position, voltage is not supplied to the rest of the
circuit. Terminal 87A is the center terminal on the relay.
- When the PCM energizes the ASD and fuel pump relays, terminal 87 connects to terminal 30.
This is the ON position. Terminal 87 supplies voltage to the rest of the circuit.
The following procedure applies to the ASD and fuel pump relays.
1. Remove relay from connector before testing. 2. With the relay removed from the vehicle, use an
ohmmeter to check the resistance between terminals 85 and 86. The resistance should be 75
ohms

Malfunction Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
A Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. This indicator
is located near the lower edge of the instrument cluster, between the tachometer and the
speedometer.
The MIL consists of a stencil-like cutout of the International Control and Display Symbol icon for
Engine in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay
prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated. An amber Light Emitting
Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the overlay causes the indicator to appear in
amber through the translucent outer layer of the overlay when it is illuminated from behind by the
LED, which is soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
The MIL is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Malfunction Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) on vehicles with a gasoline engine, or the Engine Control
Module (ECM) on vehicles with a diesel engine has recorded a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for
an On-Board Diagnostics II (OBDII) emissions-related circuit or component malfunction. The MIL is
controlled by a transistor on the instrument cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming
and electronic messages received by the cluster from the PCM or ECM over the Controller Area
Network (CAN) data bus.
The MIL Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument cluster logic circuit,
and that logic will only allow this indicator to operate when the instrument cluster receives a battery
current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the LED will always be
OFF when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED only illuminates
when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The instrument cluster will
turn ON the MIL for the following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position the indicator is illuminated
for about two seconds as a bulb test. The entire bulb test is a function of the PCM or ECM.
- MIL Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic MIL lamp-ON message
from the PCM or ECM, the indicator will be illuminated. The indicator can be flashed ON and OFF,
or illuminated solid, as dictated by the PCM or ECM message. For some DTCs, if a problem does
not recur, the PCM or ECM will send a lamp-OFF message automatically. Other DTCs may require
that a fault be repaired and the PCM or ECM be reset before a lamp-OFF message will be sent.
- Communication Error - If the cluster receives no lamp-ON or lamp-OFF messages from the PCM
or ECM for about 10 seconds, the MIL is illuminated by the instrument cluster to indicate a loss of
bus communication. The indicator remains controlled and illuminated by the cluster until a valid
message is received from the PCM or ECM.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the MIL indicator will be
turned ON during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the LED and the
cluster control circuitry.
The PCM or ECM continually monitors the fuel and emissions system circuits and sensors to
decide whether the system is in good operating condition. The PCM or ECM then sends the proper
lamp-ON or lamp-OFF message to the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known
as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN). If the EMIC turns ON the MIL after the bulb test, it may
indicate that a malfunction has occurred and that the fuel and emissions systems may require
service.
For proper diagnosis of the fuel and emissions systems, the PCM, the ECM, the EMIC, the CAN
data bus or the electronic communication related to MIL operation a diagnostic scan tool is
required.

Manifold Pressure/Vacuum Sensor: Description and Operation
OPERATION
The MAP sensor is used as an input to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). It contains a silicon
based sensing unit to provide data on the manifold vacuum that draws the air/fuel mixture into the
combustion chamber. The PCM requires this information to determine injector pulse width and
spark advance. When manifold absolute pressure (MAP) equals Barometric pressure, the pulse
width will be at maximum.
A 5 volt reference is supplied from the PCM and returns a voltage signal to the PCM that reflects
manifold pressure. The zero pressure reading is 0.5V and full scale is 4.5V. For a pressure swing
of 0-15 psi, the voltage changes 4.0V. To operate the sensor, it is supplied a regulated 4.8 to 5.1
volts. Ground is provided through the low-noise, sensor return circuit at the PCM.
The MAP sensor input is the number one contributor to fuel injector pulse width. The most
important function of the MAP sensor is to determine barometric pressure. The PCM needs to
know if the vehicle is at sea level or at a higher altitude, because the air density changes with
altitude. It will also help to correct for varying barometric pressure. Barometric pressure and altitude
have a direct inverse correlation; as altitude goes up, barometric goes down. At key-on, the PCM
powers up and looks at MAP voltage, and based upon the voltage it sees, it knows the current
barometric pressure (relative to altitude). Once the engine starts, the PCM looks at the voltage
again, continuously every 12 milliseconds, and compares the current voltage to what it was at
key-on. The difference between current voltage and what it was at key-on, is manifold vacuum.
During key-on (engine not running) the sensor reads (updates) barometric pressure. A normal
range can be obtained by monitoring a known good sensor.
As the altitude increases, the air becomes thinner (less oxygen). If a vehicle is started and driven to
a very different altitude than where it was at key-on, the barometric pressure needs to be updated.
Any time the PCM sees Wide Open Throttle (WOT), based upon Throttle Position Sensor (TPS)
angle and RPM, it will update barometric pressure in the MAP memory cell. With periodic updates,
the PCM can make its calculations more effectively.
The PCM uses the MAP sensor input to aid in calculating the following:
- Manifold pressure
- Barometric pressure
- Engine load
- Injector pulse-width
- Spark-advance programs
- Shift-point strategies (certain automatic transmissions only)
- Idle speed
- Decel fuel shutoff
The MAP sensor signal is provided from a single piezoresistive element located in the center of a
diaphragm. The element and diaphragm are both made of silicone. As manifold pressure changes,
the diaphragm moves causing the element to deflect, which stresses the silicone. When silicone is
exposed to stress, its resistance changes. As manifold vacuum increases, the MAP sensor input
voltage decreases proportionally. The sensor also contains electronics that condition the signal and
provide temperature compensation.
The PCM recognizes a decrease in manifold pressure by monitoring a decrease in voltage from the
reading stored in the barometric pressure memory cell. The MAP sensor is a linear sensor;
meaning as pressure changes, voltage changes proportionately. The range of voltage output from
the sensor is usually between 4.6 volts at sea level to as low as 0.3 volts at 26 in. of Hg. Barometric
pressure is the pressure exerted by the atmosphere upon an object. At sea level on a standard
day, no storm, barometric pressure is approximately 29.92 in Hg. For every 100 feet of altitude,
barometric pressure drops 0.10 in. Hg. If a storm goes through, it can change barometric pressure
from what should be present for that altitude. You should know what the average pressure and
corresponding barometric pressure is for your area.

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
All switches, components, and modules are shown in the at rest position with the doors closed and
the key removed from the ignition.
Components are shown two ways. A solid line around a component indicates that the component is
complete. A dashed line around the component indicates that the component is being shown is not
complete. Incomplete components have a reference number to indicate the page where the
component is shown complete.
It is important to realize that no attempt is made on the diagrams to represent components and
wiring as they appear on the vehicle. For example, a short piece of wire is treated the same as a
long one. In addition, switches and other components are shown as simply as possible, with regard
to function only.

identify which circuit code applies to a system, refer to the Circuit Identification Code Chart. This
chart shows the main circuits only and does not show the secondary codes that may apply to some
models.
Circuit Information
DESCRIPTION - CIRCUIT INFORMATION
Each wire shown in the diagrams contains a code which identifies the main circuit, a specific part of
the main circuit, gage of wire, and color. An example would be A 2 18 LB/YL. This is a Battery
Feed circuit, level two, eighteen gauge, light blue with a yellow tracer.

Connector, Ground and Splice Information
DESCRIPTION - CONNECTOR, GROUND AND SPLICE INFORMATION
CAUTION: Not all connectors are serviced. Some connectors are serviced only with a harness. A
typical example might be the Supplemental Restraint System connectors. Always check parts
availability before attempting a repair.
IDENTIFICATION
In-line connectors are identified by a number, as follows:
- In-line connectors located in the engine compartment are C100 series numbers.
- In-line connectors located in the instrument panel area are C200 series numbers.
- In-line connectors located in the body are C300 series numbers.
- Jumper harness connectors are C400 series numbers.
- Grounds and ground connectors are identified with a "G" and follow the same series numbering
as the in-line connectors.
- Splices are identified with an "S" and follow the same series numbering as the in-line connectors.
In addition, S001-S099 numbers are located in the engine compartment.
- Component connectors are identified by the component name instead of a number. Multiple
connectors on a component use a C1, C2, etc. identifier.
LOCATIONS
Vehicle/Locations contains the master connector/ground/splice location index charts with
hyperlinks to the applicable location illustrations. The illustrations contain the connector name (or
number)/ground number/splice number and component identification.
The abbreviation T/O is used in the component location section to indicate a point in which the
wiring harness branches out to a component. The abbreviation N/S means Not Shown in the
illustrations
Section Identification and Information
DESCRIPTION - SECTION IDENTIFICATION AND INFORMATION
The wiring diagrams are grouped into individual sections. If a component is most likely found in a
particular group, it will be shown complete (all wires,

Body Control Module: Diagnostic Aids
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Sensitive Devices
STANDARD PROCEDURE - ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) SENSITIVE DEVICES
All ESD sensitive components are solid state and a symbol is used to indicate this. When handling
any component with this symbol, comply with the following procedures to reduce the possibility of
electrostatic charge build up on the body and inadvertent discharge into the component. If it is not
known whether the part is ESD sensitive, assume that it is.
1. Always touch a known good ground before handling the part. This should be repeated while
handling the part and more frequently after sliding
across a seat, sitting down from a standing position, or walking a distance.
2. Avoid touching electrical terminals of the part, unless instructed to do so by a written procedure.
3. When using a voltmeter, be sure to connect the ground lead first. 4. Do not remove the part from
it's protective packing until it is time to install the part. 5. Before removing the part from it's
package, ground the package to a known good ground on the vehicle.
Testing Of Voltage Potential
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TESTING OF VOLTAGE POTENTIAL
1. Connect the ground lead of a voltmeter to a known good ground. 2. Connect the other lead of
the voltmeter to the selected test point. The vehicle ignition may need to be turned ON to check
voltage. Refer to the
appropriate test procedure.
Testing For Continuity

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Relays and Modules Computers and Control Systems > Body Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 4385
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TESTING FOR CONTINUITY
1. Remove the fuse (1) for the circuit being checked or, disconnect the battery. 2. Connect one lead
of the ohmmeter to one side of the circuit being tested 3. Connect the other lead to the other end of
the circuit being tested. Low or no resistance means good continuity.
Testing For A Short To Ground
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TESTING FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
1. Remove the fuse and disconnect all items involved with the fuse. 2. Connect a test light or a
voltmeter across the terminals of the fuse. 3. Starting at the fuse block, wiggle the wiring harness
about six to eight inches apart and watch the voltmeter/test lamp. 4. If the voltmeter registers
voltage or the test lamp glows, there is a short to ground in that general area of the wiring harness.

Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- Ohmmeter - Used to check the resistance between two points of a circuit. Low or no resistance in
a circuit means good continuity.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking resistance in these circuits use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
In addition, make sure the power is disconnected from the circuit. Circuits that are powered up by
the vehicle's electrical system can cause damage to the equipment and provide false readings.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Relays and Modules Computers and Control Systems > Body Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 4387
- Probing Tools - These tools are used for probing terminals in connectors. Select the proper size
tool from Special Tool Package 6807, and insert the probing end (2) into the terminal being tested.
Use the other end of the tool (1) to insert the meter probe.
INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent electrical problems are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. It is also
possible for a sticking component or relay to cause a problem. Before condemning a component or
wiring assembly, check the following items.
- Connectors are fully seated
- Spread terminals, or terminal push out
- Terminals in the wiring assembly are fully seated into the connector/component and locked into
position
- Dirt or corrosion on the terminals. Any amount of corrosion or dirt could cause an intermittent
problem
- Damaged connector/component casing exposing the item to dirt or moisture
- Wire insulation that has rubbed through causing a short to ground
- Some or all of the wiring strands broken inside of the insulation
- Wiring broken inside of the insulation
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are six steps which can aid in the procedure. The
steps are listed and explained below. Always check for non-factory items added to the vehicle
before doing any diagnosis. If the vehicle is equipped with these items, disconnect them to verify
these add-on items are not the cause of the problem.
1. Verify the problem. 2. Verify any related symptoms. Do this by performing operational checks on
components that are in the same circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams. 3. Analyze the symptoms.
Use the wiring diagrams to determine what the circuit is doing, where the problem most likely is
occurring and where the
diagnosis will continue.
4. Isolate the problem area. 5. Repair the problem area. 6. Verify the proper operation. For this
step, check for proper operation of all items on the repaired circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams.

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
All switches, components, and modules are shown in the at rest position with the doors closed and
the key removed from the ignition.
Components are shown two ways. A solid line around a component indicates that the component is
complete. A dashed line around the component indicates that the component is being shown is not
complete. Incomplete components have a reference number to indicate the page where the
component is shown complete.
It is important to realize that no attempt is made on the diagrams to represent components and
wiring as they appear on the vehicle. For example, a short piece of wire is treated the same as a
long one. In addition, switches and other components are shown as simply as possible, with regard
to function only.

Circuit Functions
DESCRIPTION - CIRCUIT FUNCTIONS
All circuits in the diagrams use an alpha/numeric code to identify the wire and it's function. To
identify which circuit code applies to a system, refer to the Circuit Identification Code Chart. This
chart shows the main circuits only and does not show the secondary codes that may apply to some
models.
Circuit Information
DESCRIPTION - CIRCUIT INFORMATION
Each wire shown in the diagrams contains a code which identifies the main circuit, a specific part of
the main circuit, gage of wire, and color. An example would be A 2 18 LB/YL. This is a Battery
Feed circuit, level two, eighteen gauge, light blue with a yellow tracer.

Connector, Ground and Splice Information
DESCRIPTION - CONNECTOR, GROUND AND SPLICE INFORMATION
CAUTION: Not all connectors are serviced. Some connectors are serviced only with a harness. A
typical example might be the Supplemental Restraint System connectors. Always check parts
availability before attempting a repair.
IDENTIFICATION
In-line connectors are identified by a number, as follows:
- In-line connectors located in the engine compartment are C100 series numbers.
- In-line connectors located in the instrument panel area are C200 series numbers.
- In-line connectors located in the body are C300 series numbers.
- Jumper harness connectors are C400 series numbers.
- Grounds and ground connectors are identified with a "G" and follow the same series numbering
as the in-line connectors.
- Splices are identified with an "S" and follow the same series numbering as the in-line connectors.
In addition, S001-S099 numbers are located in the engine compartment.
- Component connectors are identified by the component name instead of a number. Multiple
connectors on a component use a C1, C2, etc. identifier.
LOCATIONS
Vehicle/Locations contains the master connector/ground/splice location index charts with
hyperlinks to the applicable location illustrations. The illustrations contain the connector name (or
number)/ground number/splice number and component identification.
The abbreviation T/O is used in the component location section to indicate a point in which the
wiring harness branches out to a component. The abbreviation N/S means Not Shown in the
illustrations
Section Identification and Information
DESCRIPTION - SECTION IDENTIFICATION AND INFORMATION
The wiring diagrams are grouped into individual sections. If a component is most likely found in a
particular group, it will be shown complete (all wires,
Dodge Ram 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (Truck V8-4.7L (2008))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Relays and Modules Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 4436
connectors, and pins) within that group. For example, the Auto Shutdown Relay is most likely to be
found in Powertrain Management, so it is shown there complete. It can, however, be shown
partially in another group if it contains some associated wiring.
Splice diagrams show the entire splice and provide references to other sections the splices serves.
Splice Information only contains splice diagrams that are not shown in their entirety somewhere
else in the wiring diagrams.
Connector Pin-Outs shows each connector and the circuits involved with that connector. The
connectors are identified using the name/number on the diagram pages.

Engine Control Module: Diagnostic Aids
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Sensitive Devices
STANDARD PROCEDURE - ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) SENSITIVE DEVICES
All ESD sensitive components are solid state and a symbol is used to indicate this. When handling
any component with this symbol, comply with the following procedures to reduce the possibility of
electrostatic charge build up on the body and inadvertent discharge into the component. If it is not
known whether the part is ESD sensitive, assume that it is.
1. Always touch a known good ground before handling the part. This should be repeated while
handling the part and more frequently after sliding
across a seat, sitting down from a standing position, or walking a distance.
2. Avoid touching electrical terminals of the part, unless instructed to do so by a written procedure.
3. When using a voltmeter, be sure to connect the ground lead first. 4. Do not remove the part from
it's protective packing until it is time to install the part. 5. Before removing the part from it's
package, ground the package to a known good ground on the vehicle.
Testing Of Voltage Potential
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TESTING OF VOLTAGE POTENTIAL
1. Connect the ground lead of a voltmeter to a known good ground. 2. Connect the other lead of
the voltmeter to the selected test point. The vehicle ignition may need to be turned ON to check
voltage. Refer to the
appropriate test procedure.
Testing For Continuity

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Relays and Modules Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 4444
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TESTING FOR CONTINUITY
1. Remove the fuse (1) for the circuit being checked or, disconnect the battery. 2. Connect one lead
of the ohmmeter to one side of the circuit being tested 3. Connect the other lead to the other end of
the circuit being tested. Low or no resistance means good continuity.
Testing For A Short To Ground
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TESTING FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
1. Remove the fuse and disconnect all items involved with the fuse. 2. Connect a test light or a
voltmeter across the terminals of the fuse. 3. Starting at the fuse block, wiggle the wiring harness
about six to eight inches apart and watch the voltmeter/test lamp. 4. If the voltmeter registers
voltage or the test lamp glows, there is a short to ground in that general area of the wiring harness.
Testing For A Short To Ground On Fuses Powering Several Loads
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TESTING FOR A SHORT TO GROUND ON FUSES POWERING
SEVERAL LOADS
1. Refer to the wiring diagrams and disconnect or isolate all items on the suspected fused circuits.
2. Replace the blown fuse. 3. Supply power to the fuse by turning ON the ignition switch or
re-connecting the battery. 4. Start connecting or energizing the items in the fuse circuit one at a
time. When the fuse blows the circuit with the short to ground has been isolated.
Testing For A Voltage Drop
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TESTING FOR A VOLTAGE DROP

and Instructions > Page 4445
1. Connect the positive lead of the voltmeter to the side of the circuit closest to the battery. 2.
Connect the other lead of the voltmeter to the other side of the switch, component or circuit. 3.
Operate the item. 4. The voltmeter will show the difference in voltage between the two points.
Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- Ohmmeter - Used to check the resistance between two points of a circuit. Low or no resistance in
a circuit means good continuity.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking resistance in these circuits use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
In addition, make sure the power is disconnected from the circuit. Circuits that are powered up by
the vehicle's electrical system can cause damage to the equipment and provide false readings.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Relays and Modules Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 4446
- Probing Tools - These tools are used for probing terminals in connectors. Select the proper size
tool from Special Tool Package 6807, and insert the probing end (2) into the terminal being tested.
Use the other end of the tool (1) to insert the meter probe.
INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent electrical problems are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. It is also
possible for a sticking component or relay to cause a problem. Before condemning a component or
wiring assembly, check the following items.
- Connectors are fully seated
- Spread terminals, or terminal push out
- Terminals in the wiring assembly are fully seated into the connector/component and locked into
position
- Dirt or corrosion on the terminals. Any amount of corrosion or dirt could cause an intermittent
problem
- Damaged connector/component casing exposing the item to dirt or moisture
- Wire insulation that has rubbed through causing a short to ground
- Some or all of the wiring strands broken inside of the insulation
- Wiring broken inside of the insulation
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are six steps which can aid in the procedure. The
steps are listed and explained below. Always check for non-factory items added to the vehicle
before doing any diagnosis. If the vehicle is equipped with these items, disconnect them to verify
these add-on items are not the cause of the problem.
1. Verify the problem. 2. Verify any related symptoms. Do this by performing operational checks on
components that are in the same circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams. 3. Analyze the symptoms.
Use the wiring diagrams to determine what the circuit is doing, where the problem most likely is
occurring and where the
diagnosis will continue.
4. Isolate the problem area. 5. Repair the problem area. 6. Verify the proper operation. For this
step, check for proper operation of all items on the repaired circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams.

Powertrain Control Module - Description
Engine Control Module: Description and Operation Powertrain Control Module - Description
Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM)
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is located in the right-rear section of the engine
compartment under the cowl.
Two different PCM's are used (JTEC and NGC). These can be easily identified. JTEC's use three
32-way connectors, NGC's use four 38-way connectors
Modes Of Operation
MODES OF OPERATION
As input signals to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) change, the PCM adjusts its response to
the output devices. For example, the PCM must calculate different injector pulse width and ignition
timing for idle than it does for wide open throttle (WOT).
The PCM will operate in two different modes: Open Loop and Closed Loop.
During Open Loop modes, the PCM receives input signals and responds only according to preset
PCM programming. Input from the oxygen (O2S) sensors is not monitored during Open Loop
modes.
During Closed Loop modes, the PCM will monitor the oxygen (O2S) sensors input. This input
indicates to the PCM whether or not the calculated injector pulse width results in the ideal air-fuel
ratio. This ratio is 14.7 parts air-to-1 part fuel. By monitoring the exhaust oxygen content through
the O2S sensor, the PCM can fine tune the injector pulse width. This is done to achieve optimum
fuel economy combined with low emission engine performance.
The fuel injection system has the following modes of operation:
- Ignition switch ON
- Engine start-up (crank)
- Engine warm-up
- Idle
- Cruise
- Acceleration
- Deceleration
- Wide open throttle (WOT)
- Ignition switch OFF
The ignition switch On, engine start-up (crank), engine warm-up, acceleration, deceleration and
wide open throttle modes are Open Loop modes. The idle and cruise modes, (with the engine at
operating temperature) are Closed Loop modes.

Powertrain Control Module - Description > Page 4486
IGNITION SWITCH (KEY-ON) MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. When the fuel system is activated by the ignition switch, the following
actions occur:
- The PCM pre-positions the idle air control (IAC) motor.
- The PCM determines atmospheric air pressure from the MAP sensor input to determine basic fuel
strategy.
- The PCM monitors the engine coolant temperature sensor input. The PCM modifies fuel strategy
based on this input.
- Intake manifold air temperature sensor input is monitored.
- Throttle position sensor (TPS) is monitored.
- The auto shutdown (ASD) relay is energized by the PCM for approximately three seconds.
- The fuel pump is energized through the fuel pump relay by the PCM. The fuel pump will operate
for approximately three seconds unless the engine is operating or the starter motor is engaged.
- The O2S sensor heater element is energized via the ASD or O2S heater relay. The O2S sensor
input is not used by the PCM to calibrate air-fuel ratio during this mode of operation.
ENGINE START-UP MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. The following actions occur when the starter motor is engaged.
The PCM receives inputs from:
- Battery voltage
- Engine coolant temperature sensor
- Crankshaft position sensor
- Intake manifold air temperature sensor
- Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
- Throttle position sensor (TPS)
- Camshaft position sensor signal
The PCM monitors the crankshaft position sensor. If the PCM does not receive a crankshaft
position sensor signal within 3 seconds of cranking the engine, it will shut down the fuel injection
system.
The fuel pump is activated by the PCM through the fuel pump relay.
Voltage is applied to the fuel injectors with the ASD relay via the PCM. The PCM will then control
the injection sequence and injector pulse width by turning the ground circuit to each individual
injector on and off.
The PCM determines the proper ignition timing according to input received from the crankshaft
position sensor.
ENGINE WARM-UP MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. During engine warm-up, the PCM receives inputs from:
- Battery voltage
- Crankshaft position sensor
- Engine coolant temperature sensor
- Intake manifold air temperature sensor
- Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
- Throttle position sensor (TPS)
- Camshaft position sensor signal
- Park/neutral switch (gear indicator signal-auto. trans. only)
- Air conditioning select signal (if equipped)
- Air conditioning request signal (if equipped)
Based on these inputs the following occurs:
- Voltage is applied to the fuel injectors with the ASD relay via the PCM. The PCM will then control
the injection sequence and injector pulse width by turning the ground circuit to each individual
injector on and off.
- The PCM adjusts engine idle speed through the idle air control (IAC) motor and adjusts ignition
timing.
- The PCM operates the A/C compressor clutch through the A/C compressor clutch relay. This is
done if A/C has been selected by the vehicle operator and specified pressures are met at the high
and low-pressure A/C switches.
- When engine has reached operating temperature, the PCM will begin monitoring O2S sensor
input. The system will then leave the warm-up mode and go into closed loop operation.
IDLE MODE
Dodge Ram 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (Truck V8-4.7L (2008))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Relays and Modules Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Description and Operation >
Powertrain Control Module - Description > Page 4487
When the engine is at operating temperature, this is a Closed Loop mode. At idle speed, the PCM
receives inputs from:
- Air conditioning select signal (if equipped)
- Air conditioning request signal (if equipped)
- Battery voltage
- Crankshaft position sensor
- Engine coolant temperature sensor
- Intake manifold air temperature sensor
- Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor

injection sequence and injector pulse width by turning the ground circuit to each individual injector
on and off.
- The PCM monitors the O2S sensor input and adjusts air-fuel ratio by varying injector pulse width.
It also adjusts engine idle speed through the idle air control (IAC) motor.
- The PCM adjusts ignition timing by increasing and decreasing spark advance.
- The PCM operates the A/C compressor clutch through the A/C compressor clutch relay. This is
done if A/C has been selected by the vehicle operator and specified pressures are met at the high
and low-pressure A/C switches.
CRUISE MODE
When the engine is at operating temperature, this is a Closed Loop mode. At cruising speed, the
PCM receives inputs from:
- Air conditioning select signal (if equipped)
- Air conditioning request signal (if equipped)
- Battery voltage
- Engine coolant temperature sensor
- Crankshaft position sensor
- Intake manifold air temperature sensor
- Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
- Throttle position sensor (TPS)
- Camshaft position sensor signal
- Park/neutral switch (gear indicator signal-auto. trans. only)
- Oxygen (O2S) sensors
Based on these inputs, the following occurs:
- Voltage is applied to the fuel injectors with the ASD relay via the PCM. The PCM will then adjust
the injector pulse width by turning the ground circuit to each individual injector on and off.
- The PCM monitors the O2S sensor input and adjusts air-fuel ratio. It also adjusts engine idle
speed through the idle air control (IAC) motor.
- The PCM adjusts ignition timing by turning the ground path to the coil(s) on and off.
- The PCM operates the A/C compressor clutch through the clutch relay. This happens if A/C has
been selected by the vehicle operator and requested by the A/C thermostat.
ACCELERATION MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. The PCM recognizes an abrupt increase in throttle position or MAP
pressure as a demand for increased engine output and vehicle acceleration. The PCM increases
injector pulse width in response to increased throttle opening.
DECELERATION MODE
When the engine is at operating temperature, this is an Open Loop mode. During hard
deceleration, the PCM receives the following inputs.
- Air conditioning select signal (if equipped)
- Air conditioning request signal (if equipped)
- Battery voltage
- Engine coolant temperature sensor
- Crankshaft position sensor
- Intake manifold air temperature sensor

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Relays and Modules Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Description and Operation >
Powertrain Control Module - Description > Page 4488
- Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
- Throttle position sensor (TPS)
- Camshaft position sensor signal
- Park/neutral switch (gear indicator signal-auto. trans. only)
- Vehicle speed
If the vehicle is under hard deceleration with the proper rpm and closed throttle conditions, the
PCM will ignore the oxygen sensor input signal. The PCM will enter a fuel cut-off strategy in which
it will not supply a ground to the injectors. If a hard deceleration does not exist, the PCM will
determine the proper injector pulse width and continue injection.
Based on the above inputs, the PCM will adjust engine idle speed through the idle air control (IAC)
motor.
The PCM adjusts ignition timing by turning the ground path to the coil on and off.
WIDE OPEN THROTTLE MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. During wide open throttle operation, the PCM receives the following
inputs.
- Battery voltage
- Crankshaft position sensor
- Engine coolant temperature sensor
- Intake manifold air temperature sensor
- Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
- Throttle position sensor (TPS)
- Camshaft position sensor signal
During wide open throttle conditions, the following occurs:
- Voltage is applied to the fuel injectors with the ASD relay via the PCM. The PCM will then control
the injection sequence and injector pulse width by turning the ground circuit to each individual
injector on and off. The PCM ignores the oxygen sensor input signal and provides a predetermined
amount of additional fuel. This is done by adjusting injector pulse width.
- The PCM adjusts ignition timing by turning the ground path to the coil(s) on and off.
IGNITION SWITCH OFF MODE
When ignition switch is turned to OFF position, the PCM stops operating the injectors, ignition coil,
ASD relay and fuel pump relay.
5 Volt Supplies
5 VOLT SUPPLIES

Engine Control Module: Description and Operation Powertrain Control Module - Operation
Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM)
The PCM operates the fuel system. The PCM is a pre-programmed, triple microprocessor digital
computer. It regulates ignition timing, air-fuel ratio, emission control devices, charging system,
certain transmission features, speed control, air conditioning compressor clutch engagement and
idle speed. The PCM can adapt its programming to meet changing operating conditions.
The PCM receives input signals from various switches and sensors. Based on these inputs, the
PCM regulates various engine and vehicle operations through different system components. These
components are referred to as Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Outputs. The sensors and
switches that provide inputs to the PCM are considered Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Inputs.
The PCM adjusts ignition timing based upon inputs it receives from sensors that react to: engine
rpm, manifold absolute pressure, engine coolant temperature, throttle position, transmission gear
selection (automatic transmission), vehicle speed, power steering pump pressure, and the brake
switch.
The PCM adjusts idle speed based on inputs it receives from sensors that react to: throttle position,
vehicle speed, transmission gear selection, engine coolant temperature and from inputs it receives
from the air conditioning clutch switch and brake switch.
Based on inputs that it receives, the PCM adjusts ignition coil dwell. The PCM also adjusts the
generator charge rate through control of the generator field and provides speed control operation.

Ignition Circuit Sense
IGNITION CIRCUIT SENSE
The ignition circuit sense input tells the PCM the ignition switch has energized the ignition circuit.
Battery voltage is also supplied to the PCM through the ignition switch when the ignition is in the
RUN or START position. This is referred to as the "ignition sense" circuit and is used to "wake up"
the PCM. Voltage on the ignition input can be as low as 6 volts and the PCM will still function.
Voltage is supplied to this circuit to power the PCM's 8-volt regulator and to allow the PCM to
perform fuel, ignition and emissions control functions.

Engine Control Module: Testing and Inspection SKREEM Programming
SKREEM PROGRAMMING
When a Powertrain Control Module (PCM) for a gasoline engine, or an Engine Control Module
(ECM) for a diesel engine and the Sentry Key Remote Entry Module (SKREEM) (also known as the
Wireless Control Module/WCM) on vehicles equipped with the Sentry Key Immobilizer System
(SKIS) are replaced at the same time, perform the following steps in order:
NOTE: If the PCM and the SKREEM are replaced at the same time, program the PCM VIN into the
PCM first.
1. If applicable first replace the PCM/ECM with the original WCM still connected to the vehicle. 2.
Using the appropriate service information program the new PCM/ECM. (This will ensure the Secret
Key Transfer from the original WCM into the
new PCM/ECM).
3. Now replace and program the WCM. This will retain the Secret Key from the PCM/ECM back
into the new WCM. 4. With the scan tool, select Miscellaneous Functions, WCM/Wireless Control
Module. Then select the desired procedure and follow the display on
the scan tool.
5. If the vehicle is equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring System program the Placard Pressure
Values into the WCM/SKREEM. 6. Ensure all the customer's keys have been programmed into the
new module if necessary.
NOTE: If the original keys do not successfully program to the new SKREEM after the proper
procedures are followed correctly, programming new keys will be necessary.
PROGRAMMING THE SKREEM
The SKIS Secret Key is an ID code that is unique to each SKREEM/WCM. This code is
programmed and stored in the SKREEM/WCM, the PCM/ECM, and each ignition key transponder
chip. When the PCM/ECM or SKREEM/WCM is replaced, it is necessary to program the Secret
Key into the new module using a diagnostic scan tool. Follow the programming steps outlined in
the diagnostic scan tool for PCM REPLACED , ECM REPLACED , WCM REPLACED , or
GATEWAY REPLACED under MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS for the WIRELESS CONTROL
MODULE/WCM menu item as appropriate.
NOTE: Programming the PCM/ECM or SKREEM is done using a diagnostic scan tool and a PIN to
enter secure access mode. If three attempts are made to enter secure access mode using an
incorrect PIN, secure access mode will be locked out for one hour. To exit this lockout mode, turn
the ignition to the RUN position for one hour then enter the correct PIN. Be certain that all
accessories are turned OFF. Also monitor the battery state and connect a battery charger if
necessary.
NOTE: Before replacing the ECU for a failed driver, control circuit or ground circuit, be sure to
check the related component/circuit integrity for failures not detected due to a double fault in the
circuit. Most ECM driver/control circuit failures are caused by internal component failures (i.e. relay
and solenoids) and shorted circuits (i.e. pull-ups, drivers and switched circuits). These failures are
difficult to detect when a double fault has occurred and only one DTC has set.
ECM/SKIM/WCM PROGRAMMING
When a ECM and the SKIM are replaced at the same time perform the following steps in order:
1. Program the new SKIM 2. Program the new ECM 3. Replace all ignition keys and program them
to the new SKIM.
ECM/SKIM/WCM PROGRAMMING
When an ECM (Bosch) and the SKIM are replaced at the same time perform the following steps in
order:
1. Program the new SKIM 2. Program the new ECM (Bosch) 3. Replace all ignition keys and
program them to the new SKIM.
PROGRAMMING THE SKIM
CAUTION: Read all notes and cautions for programming procedures.
1. Connect a battery charger to the vehicle. 2. Connect the StarSCAN(R).
CAUTION: If the ECM/PCM and SKREEM/WCM are replaced at the same time, the ECM/PCM
MUST be programmed before the

Programming > Page 4494
SKREEM/WCM.
3. Select "ECU View". 4. Select "WCM Wireless Control Module". 5. Select "Miscellaneous
Functions". 6. Select WCM replaced. 7. Enter the PIN when prompted. 8. Verify the correct
information.
NOTE: If the ECM and the SKIM are replaced at the same time, all vehicle keys will need to be
replaced and programmed to the new SKIM.
PROGRAMMING IGNITION KEYS TO THE SKREEM
Each ignition key transponder also has a unique ID code that is assigned at the time the key is
manufactured. When a key is programmed into the SKREEM/WCM, the transponder ID code is
learned by the module and the transponder acquires the unique Secret Key ID code from the
SKREEM/WCM. To program ignition keys into the SKREEM/WCM, follow the programming steps
outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for PROGRAM IGNITION KEYS OR KEY FOBS under
MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS for the WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE/WCM menu item.
NOTE: If the original keys do not successfully program to the new SKREEM after the proper
procedures are followed correctly, programming new keys will be necessary.
NOTE: A maximum of eight keys can be learned to each SKREEM. Once a key is learned to a
SKREEM, that key has acquired the Secret Key for that SKREEM and cannot be transferred to any
other SKREEM or vehicle.
If ignition key programming is unsuccessful, the scan tool will display one of the following error
messages:
- PROGRAMMING NOT ATTEMPTED - The scan tool attempts to read the programmed key status
and there are no keys programmed into SKREEM memory.
- PROGRAMMING KEY FAILED (POSSIBLE USED KEY FROM WRONG VEHICLE) - SKREEM is
unable to program an ignition key transponder due to one of the following:
- The ignition key transponder is ineffective.
- The ignition key transponder is or has been already programmed to another vehicle.
- 8 KEYS ALREADY LEARNED, PROGRAMMING NOT DONE - The SKREEM transponder ID
memory is full.
LEARNED KEY IN IGNITION - The ID for the ignition key transponder currently in the ignition lock
cylinder is already programmed into SKREEM memory.

Fig.1 ASD And Fuel Pump Relay Terminals-Type 1
Fig.2 ASD And Fuel Pump Relay Terminals-Type 2
The following description of operation and tests apply only to the Automatic Shutdown (ASD) and
fuel pump relays. The terminals on the bottom of each relay are numbered. Two different types of
relays may be used, or.
- Terminal number 30 is connected to battery voltage. For both the ASD and fuel pump relays,
terminal 30 is connected to battery voltage at all times.
- The PCM grounds the coil side of the relay through terminal number 85.
- Terminal number 86 supplies voltage to the coil side of the relay.
- When the PCM de-energizes the ASD and fuel pump relays, terminal number 87A connects to
terminal 30. This is the OFF position. In the OFF position, voltage is not supplied to the rest of the
circuit. Terminal 87A is the center terminal on the relay.
- When the PCM energizes the ASD and fuel pump relays, terminal 87 connects to terminal 30.
This is the ON position. Terminal 87 supplies voltage to the rest of the circuit.
The following procedure applies to the ASD and fuel pump relays.
1. Remove relay from connector before testing. 2. With the relay removed from the vehicle, use an
ohmmeter to check the resistance between terminals 85 and 86. The resistance should be 75
ohms

± 5 ohms.
3. Connect the ohmmeter between terminals 30 and 87A. The ohmmeter should show continuity
between terminals 30 and 87A. 4. Connect the ohmmeter between terminals 87 and 30. The
ohmmeter should not show continuity at this time. 5. Connect one end of a jumper wire (16 gauge
or smaller) to relay terminal 85. Connect the other end of the jumper wire to the ground side of a 12
volt power source.
6. Connect one end of another jumper wire (16 gauge or smaller) to the power side of the 12 volt
power source. Do not attach the other end of the
jumper wire to the relay at this time.
WARNING: DO NOT ALLOW OHMMETER TO CONTACT TERMINALS 85 OR 86 DURING THIS
TEST. DAMAGE TO OHMMETER MAY RESULT.
7. Attach the other end of the jumper wire to relay terminal 86. This activates the relay. The
ohmmeter should now show continuity between relay
terminals 87 and 30. The ohmmeter should not show continuity between relay terminals 87A and
30.
8. Disconnect jumper wires. 9. Replace the relay if it did not pass the continuity and resistance
tests. If the relay passed the tests, it operates properly. Check the remainder of the
ASD and fuel pump relay circuits.

DESCRIPTION
The Battery Temperature Sensor (BTS) is used only on the diesel engine. It is attached to the
battery tray located under the battery.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Sensors and Switches Computers and Control Systems > Battery Temperature Sensor > Component Information > Description and Operation >
Battery Temperature Sensor - Description > Page 4538
Battery Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation Battery Temperature Sensor - Operation
OPERATION
The BTS is used to determine the battery temperature and control battery charging rate. This
temperature data, along with data from monitored line voltage, is used by the PCM (ECM Diesel) to
vary the battery charging rate. System voltage will be higher at colder temperatures and is
gradually reduced at warmer temperatures.
The PCM sends 5 volts to the sensor and is grounded through the sensor return line. As
temperature increases, resistance in the sensor decreases and the detection voltage at the PCM
increases.
The BTS is also used for OBD II diagnostics. Certain faults and OBD II monitors are either enabled
or disabled, depending upon BTS input (for example, disable purge and enable Leak Detection
Pump (LDP) and O2 sensor heater tests). Most OBD II monitors are disabled below 20°F.

Camshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
4.7L
The CMP sensor engine contains a hall effect device called a sync signal generator to generate a
fuel sync signal. This sync signal generator detects notches located on a tonewheel. The
tonewheel (4) is located at the front of the camshaft for the right cylinder head (2). As the
tonewheel rotates, the notches (1) pass through the sync signal generator. The pattern of the
notches (viewed counter-clockwise from front of engine) is: 1 notch, 2 notches, 3 notches, 3
notches, 2 notches, 1 notch, 3 notches and 1 notch. The signal from the CMP sensor is used in
conjunction with the crankshaft position sensor to differentiate between fuel injection and spark
events. It is also used to synchronize the fuel injectors with their respective cylinders.

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
4.7L V-8
Engine speed and crankshaft position are provided through the CKP (Crankshaft Position) sensor.
The sensor generates pulses that are the input sent to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The
PCM interprets the sensor input to determine the crankshaft position. The PCM then uses this
position, along with other inputs, to determine injector sequence and ignition timing.
The sensor is a hall effect device combined with an internal magnet. It is also sensitive to steel
within a certain distance from it.
A tonewheel (1) is bolted to the engine crankshaft. This tonewheel has sets of notches (2) at its
outer edge.
The notches cause a pulse to be generated when they pass under the sensor. The pulses are the
input to the PCM.

Fuel Level Sensor: Description and Operation Fuel Pump
Description
DESCRIPTION
The electric fuel pump is located inside of the fuel pump module. A 12 volt, permanent magnet,
electric motor powers the fuel pump. The electric fuel pump is not a separate, serviceable
component.
Operation
OPERATION
Voltage to operate the electric pump is supplied through the fuel pump relay.
Fuel is drawn in through a filter at the bottom of the module and pushed through the electric motor
gearset to the pump outlet.
Check Valve Operation: The bottom section of the fuel pump module contains a one-way check
valve to prevent fuel flow back into the tank and to maintain fuel supply line pressure (engine
warm) when pump is not operational. It is also used to keep the fuel supply line full of gasoline
when pump is not operational. After the vehicle has cooled down, fuel pressure may drop to 0 psi
(cold fluid contracts), but liquid gasoline will remain in fuel supply line between the check valve and
fuel injectors.Fuel pressure that has dropped to 0 psi on a cooled down vehicle (engine off) is a
normal condition.
The electric fuel pump is not a separate, serviceable component.

Intake Air Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation
OPERATION
The IAT sensor provides an input voltage to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) indicating the
density of the air entering the intake manifold based upon intake manifold temperature. At key-on,
a 5-volt power circuit is supplied to the sensor from the PCM. The sensor is grounded at the PCM
through a low-noise, sensor-return circuit.
The PCM uses this input to calculate the following:
- Injector pulse-width
- Adjustment of spark timing (to help prevent spark knock with high intake manifold air-charge
temperatures)
The resistance values of the IAT sensor is the same as for the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT)
sensor.

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
Two knock sensors are used; 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 which constantly vibrates and sends an input
voltage (signal) to the PCM while the engine operates. As the 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
maximum authority that long term memory has over timing retard can be calibrated.
Short term memory is allowed to retard timing up to a preset amount under all operating conditions
(as long as rpm is above the minimum rpm) except at Wide Open Throttle (WOT). The PCM, using
short term memory, can respond quickly to retard timing when engine knock is detected. Short term
memory is lost any time the ignition key is turned off.
NOTE: Over or under tightening the sensor mounting bolts will affect knock sensor performance,
possibly causing improper spark control. Always use the specified torque when installing the knock
sensors.

Manifold Pressure/Vacuum Sensor: Description and Operation
OPERATION
The MAP sensor is used as an input to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). It contains a silicon
based sensing unit to provide data on the manifold vacuum that draws the air/fuel mixture into the
combustion chamber. The PCM requires this information to determine injector pulse width and
spark advance. When manifold absolute pressure (MAP) equals Barometric pressure, the pulse
width will be at maximum.
A 5 volt reference is supplied from the PCM and returns a voltage signal to the PCM that reflects
manifold pressure. The zero pressure reading is 0.5V and full scale is 4.5V. For a pressure swing
of 0-15 psi, the voltage changes 4.0V. To operate the sensor, it is supplied a regulated 4.8 to 5.1
volts. Ground is provided through the low-noise, sensor return circuit at the PCM.
The MAP sensor input is the number one contributor to fuel injector pulse width. The most
important function of the MAP sensor is to determine barometric pressure. The PCM needs to
know if the vehicle is at sea level or at a higher altitude, because the air density changes with
altitude. It will also help to correct for varying barometric pressure. Barometric pressure and altitude
have a direct inverse correlation; as altitude goes up, barometric goes down. At key-on, the PCM
powers up and looks at MAP voltage, and based upon the voltage it sees, it knows the current
barometric pressure (relative to altitude). Once the engine starts, the PCM looks at the voltage
again, continuously every 12 milliseconds, and compares the current voltage to what it was at
key-on. The difference between current voltage and what it was at key-on, is manifold vacuum.
During key-on (engine not running) the sensor reads (updates) barometric pressure. A normal
range can be obtained by monitoring a known good sensor.
As the altitude increases, the air becomes thinner (less oxygen). If a vehicle is started and driven to
a very different altitude than where it was at key-on, the barometric pressure needs to be updated.
Any time the PCM sees Wide Open Throttle (WOT), based upon Throttle Position Sensor (TPS)
angle and RPM, it will update barometric pressure in the MAP memory cell. With periodic updates,
the PCM can make its calculations more effectively.
The PCM uses the MAP sensor input to aid in calculating the following:
- Manifold pressure
- Barometric pressure
- Engine load
- Injector pulse-width
- Spark-advance programs
- Shift-point strategies (certain automatic transmissions only)
- Idle speed
- Decel fuel shutoff
The MAP sensor signal is provided from a single piezoresistive element located in the center of a
diaphragm. The element and diaphragm are both made of silicone. As manifold pressure changes,
the diaphragm moves causing the element to deflect, which stresses the silicone. When silicone is
exposed to stress, its resistance changes. As manifold vacuum increases, the MAP sensor input
voltage decreases proportionally. The sensor also contains electronics that condition the signal and
provide temperature compensation.
The PCM recognizes a decrease in manifold pressure by monitoring a decrease in voltage from the
reading stored in the barometric pressure memory cell. The MAP sensor is a linear sensor;
meaning as pressure changes, voltage changes proportionately. The range of voltage output from
the sensor is usually between 4.6 volts at sea level to as low as 0.3 volts at 26 in. of Hg. Barometric
pressure is the pressure exerted by the atmosphere upon an object. At sea level on a standard
day, no storm, barometric pressure is approximately 29.92 in Hg. For every 100 feet of altitude,
barometric pressure drops 0.10 in. Hg. If a storm goes through, it can change barometric pressure
from what should be present for that altitude. You should know what the average pressure and
corresponding barometric pressure is for your area.

Oxygen Sensor: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION
The Oxygen Sensors (O2S) are attached to, and protrude into the vehicle exhaust system.
Depending on the engine or emission package, the vehicle may use a total of either 2 or 4 sensors.
Federal Emission Packages : Two sensors are used: upstream (referred to as 1/1) and
downstream (referred to as 1/2). With this emission package, the upstream sensor (1/1) is located
just before the main catalytic convertor. The downstream sensor (1/2) is located just after the main
catalytic convertor.
California Emission Packages: On this emissions package, 4 sensors are used: 2 upstream
(referred to as 1/1 and 2/1) and 2 downstream (referred to as 1/2 and 2/2). With this emission
package, the right upstream sensor (2/1) is located in the right exhaust downpipe just before the
mini-catalytic convertor. The left upstream sensor (1/1) is located in the left exhaust downpipe just
before the mini-catalytic convertor. The right downstream sensor (2/2) is located in the right
exhaust downpipe just after the mini-catalytic convertor, and before the main catalytic convertor.
The left downstream sensor (1/2) is located in the left exhaust downpipe just after the mini-catalytic
convertor, and before the main catalytic convertor.

Description
DESCRIPTION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) (2) is mounted to the top of the valve body inside the
transmission and can only be serviced by removing the valve body assembly. The electrical
connector extends through the transmission case.
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) has four switch contacts that monitor shift lever position
and send the information to the PCM.
Operation
OPERATION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) communicates shift lever position (SLP) to the TCM as a
combination of open and closed switches. Each shift lever position has an assigned combination of
switch states (open/closed) that the TCM receives from four sense circuits. The TCM interprets this
information and determines the appropriate transmission gear position and shift schedule.
Since there are four switches, there are 16 possible combinations of open and closed switches
(codes). Seven of these codes are related to gear position and three are recognized as "between
gear" codes. This results in six codes which should never occur. These are called "invalid" codes.
An invalid code will result in a DTC, and the TCM will then determine the shift lever position based
on pressure switch data. This allows reasonably normal transmission operation with a TRS failure.

DESCRIPTION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) is part of the solenoid module, which is mounted to the top

The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) has five switch contact pins that:
- Determine shift lever position
- Supply ground to the Starter Relay in Park and Neutral only.
- Supply +12 V to the backup lamps in Reverse only.
The TRS also has an integrated temperature sensor (thermistor) that communicates transmission
temperature to the TCM and PCM.

Description
DESCRIPTION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) has 3 primary functions:
- Provide a PARK/NEUTRAL start signal to the engine controller and the starter relay.
- Turn the Back-up lamps on when the transmission is in REVERSE and the engine (ignition) is on.
- Provide a transmission range signal to the instrument cluster.
The sensor is mounted in the transmission housing near the valve body, just above the pan rail. It's
in the same position as the Park/Neutral switch on other transmissions. The TRS contacts a
cammed surface on the manual valve lever. The cammed surface translates the rotational motion
of the manual lever into the linear motion of the sensor. The cammed surface on the manual lever
is comprised of two parts controlling the TRS signal: The insulator portion contacts the switch
poppet when the manual lever is not in PARK or NEUTRAL. The manual lever itself contacts the
poppet when the lever is in PARK or NEUTRAL; providing a ground for the signal from the starter
relay and the appropriate engine controller.

As the switch moves through its linear motion contacts slide across a circuit board which changes
the resistance between the range sensing pins of the switch. A power supply on the instrument
cluster provides a regulated voltage signal to the switch. The return signal is decoded by the
cluster, which then controls the PRNDL display to correspond with the correct transmission range.
A bus message of transmission range is also sent by the cluster. In REVERSE range a second
contact set closes the circuit providing power to the reverse lamps.

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
All switches, components, and modules are shown in the at rest position with the doors closed and
the key removed from the ignition.
Components are shown two ways. A solid line around a component indicates that the component is
complete. A dashed line around the component indicates that the component is being shown is not
complete. Incomplete components have a reference number to indicate the page where the
component is shown complete.
It is important to realize that no attempt is made on the diagrams to represent components and
wiring as they appear on the vehicle. For example, a short piece of wire is treated the same as a
long one. In addition, switches and other components are shown as simply as possible, with regard
to function only.

Connector, Ground and Splice Information
DESCRIPTION - CONNECTOR, GROUND AND SPLICE INFORMATION
CAUTION: Not all connectors are serviced. Some connectors are serviced only with a harness. A
typical example might be the Supplemental Restraint System connectors. Always check parts
availability before attempting a repair.
IDENTIFICATION
In-line connectors are identified by a number, as follows:
- In-line connectors located in the engine compartment are C100 series numbers.
- In-line connectors located in the instrument panel area are C200 series numbers.
- In-line connectors located in the body are C300 series numbers.
- Jumper harness connectors are C400 series numbers.
- Grounds and ground connectors are identified with a "G" and follow the same series numbering
as the in-line connectors.
- Splices are identified with an "S" and follow the same series numbering as the in-line connectors.
In addition, S001-S099 numbers are located in the engine compartment.
- Component connectors are identified by the component name instead of a number. Multiple
connectors on a component use a C1, C2, etc. identifier.
LOCATIONS
Vehicle/Locations contains the master connector/ground/splice location index charts with
hyperlinks to the applicable location illustrations. The illustrations contain the connector name (or
number)/ground number/splice number and component identification.
The abbreviation T/O is used in the component location section to indicate a point in which the
wiring harness branches out to a component. The abbreviation N/S means Not Shown in the

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Sensitive Devices
STANDARD PROCEDURE - ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) SENSITIVE DEVICES
All ESD sensitive components are solid state and a symbol is used to indicate this. When handling
any component with this symbol, comply with the following procedures to reduce the possibility of
electrostatic charge build up on the body and inadvertent discharge into the component. If it is not
known whether the part is ESD sensitive, assume that it is.
1. Always touch a known good ground before handling the part. This should be repeated while
handling the part and more frequently after sliding
across a seat, sitting down from a standing position, or walking a distance.
2. Avoid touching electrical terminals of the part, unless instructed to do so by a written procedure.
3. When using a voltmeter, be sure to connect the ground lead first. 4. Do not remove the part from
it's protective packing until it is time to install the part. 5. Before removing the part from it's
package, ground the package to a known good ground on the vehicle.

Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- Ohmmeter - Used to check the resistance between two points of a circuit. Low or no resistance in
a circuit means good continuity.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking resistance in these circuits use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
In addition, make sure the power is disconnected from the circuit. Circuits that are powered up by
the vehicle's electrical system can cause damage to the equipment and provide false readings.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Sensors and Switches Computers and Control Systems > Vehicle Speed Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 4846
- Probing Tools - These tools are used for probing terminals in connectors. Select the proper size
tool from Special Tool Package 6807, and insert the probing end (2) into the terminal being tested.
Use the other end of the tool (1) to insert the meter probe.
INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent electrical problems are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. It is also
possible for a sticking component or relay to cause a problem. Before condemning a component or
wiring assembly, check the following items.
- Connectors are fully seated
- Spread terminals, or terminal push out
- Terminals in the wiring assembly are fully seated into the connector/component and locked into
position
- Dirt or corrosion on the terminals. Any amount of corrosion or dirt could cause an intermittent
problem
- Damaged connector/component casing exposing the item to dirt or moisture
- Wire insulation that has rubbed through causing a short to ground
- Some or all of the wiring strands broken inside of the insulation
- Wiring broken inside of the insulation
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are six steps which can aid in the procedure. The
steps are listed and explained below. Always check for non-factory items added to the vehicle
before doing any diagnosis. If the vehicle is equipped with these items, disconnect them to verify
these add-on items are not the cause of the problem.
1. Verify the problem. 2. Verify any related symptoms. Do this by performing operational checks on
components that are in the same circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams. 3. Analyze the symptoms.
Use the wiring diagrams to determine what the circuit is doing, where the problem most likely is
occurring and where the
diagnosis will continue.
4. Isolate the problem area. 5. Repair the problem area. 6. Verify the proper operation. For this
step, check for proper operation of all items on the repaired circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams.

Description
DESCRIPTION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) (2) is mounted to the top of the valve body inside the
transmission and can only be serviced by removing the valve body assembly. The electrical
connector extends through the transmission case.
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) has four switch contacts that monitor shift lever position
and send the information to the PCM.
Operation
OPERATION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) communicates shift lever position (SLP) to the TCM as a
combination of open and closed switches. Each shift lever position has an assigned combination of
switch states (open/closed) that the TCM receives from four sense circuits. The TCM interprets this
information and determines the appropriate transmission gear position and shift schedule.
Since there are four switches, there are 16 possible combinations of open and closed switches
(codes). Seven of these codes are related to gear position and three are recognized as "between
gear" codes. This results in six codes which should never occur. These are called "invalid" codes.
An invalid code will result in a DTC, and the TCM will then determine the shift lever position based
on pressure switch data. This allows reasonably normal transmission operation with a TRS failure.

DESCRIPTION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) is part of the solenoid module, which is mounted to the top
of the valve body inside the transmission.
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) has five switch contact pins that:
- Determine shift lever position
- Supply ground to the Starter Relay in Park and Neutral only.
- Supply +12 V to the backup lamps in Reverse only.
The TRS also has an integrated temperature sensor (thermistor) that communicates transmission
temperature to the TCM and PCM.

Description
DESCRIPTION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) has 3 primary functions:
- Provide a PARK/NEUTRAL start signal to the engine controller and the starter relay.
- Turn the Back-up lamps on when the transmission is in REVERSE and the engine (ignition) is on.
- Provide a transmission range signal to the instrument cluster.
The sensor is mounted in the transmission housing near the valve body, just above the pan rail. It's
in the same position as the Park/Neutral switch on other transmissions. The TRS contacts a
cammed surface on the manual valve lever. The cammed surface translates the rotational motion
of the manual lever into the linear motion of the sensor. The cammed surface on the manual lever
is comprised of two parts controlling the TRS signal: The insulator portion contacts the switch
poppet when the manual lever is not in PARK or NEUTRAL. The manual lever itself contacts the
poppet when the lever is in PARK or NEUTRAL; providing a ground for the signal from the starter
relay and the appropriate engine controller.

As the switch moves through its linear motion contacts slide across a circuit board which changes
the resistance between the range sensing pins of the switch. A power supply on the instrument
cluster provides a regulated voltage signal to the switch. The return signal is decoded by the
cluster, which then controls the PRNDL display to correspond with the correct transmission range.
A bus message of transmission range is also sent by the cluster. In REVERSE range a second
contact set closes the circuit providing power to the reverse lamps.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR (TRS)
NOTE: For all circuit identification in the following steps, Refer to the appropriate Wiring
Information.
1. Raise vehicle on suitable hoist. 2. Disconnect the vehicle's shift cable from the manual lever. 3.
With the manual lever in the PARK position (the PARK position is with the manual lever moved to
the full rearward position), measure the
resistance between the Park/Neutral Position Sense pin of the TRS and the transmission case. The
resistance should be less than 5 ohms.
4. With the manual lever in the NEUTRAL position (the NEUTRAL position is with the manual lever
moved two detents forward of the full
rearward position), measure the resistance between the Park/Neutral Position Sense pin of the
TRS and the transmission case. The resistance should be less than 5 ohms.
5. If the resistance is greater than 5 ohms in either of the previous steps, check for a dirty contact
between the tip of the TRS rod and the valve body
manual lever. If the contact is OK, replace the TRS.
6. With the manual lever in the REVERSE position (the REVERSE position is with the manual lever
moved one detent forward of the full rearward
position), measure the resistance between the Fused Ignition Switch Output and the Back-up Lamp
feed pins of the TRS. The resistance should be less than 5 ohms. If the resistance is greater than 5
ohms, replace the TRS.
7. With the manual lever in the PARK position (the PARK position is with the manual lever moved
to the full rearward position), measure the
resistance between the Transmission Range Sensor MUX and the Transmission Range Sensor 5V
Supply pins of the TRS. The resistance should be 522.2 ohms. If the resistance is not correct,
replace the TRS.
8. With the manual lever in the REVERSE position (the REVERSE position is with the manual lever
moved one detent forward of the full rearward
position), measure the resistance between the Transmission Range Sensor MUX and the
Transmission Range Sensor 5V Supply pins of the TRS. The resistance should be 206.2 ohms. If
the resistance is not correct, replace the TRS.
9. With the manual lever in the NEUTRAL position (the NEUTRAL position is with the manual lever
moved two detents forward of the full
rearward position), measure the resistance between the Transmission Range Sensor MUX and the
Transmission Range Sensor 5V Supply pins of the TRS. The resistance should be 108.6 ohms. If
the resistance is not correct, replace the TRS.
10. With the manual lever in the DRIVE position (the DRIVE position is with the manual lever
moved three detents forward of the full rearward
position), measure the resistance between the Transmission Range Sensor MUX and the
Transmission Range Sensor 5V Supply pins of the TRS. The resistance should be 59.9 ohms. If
the resistance is not correct, replace the TRS.
11. With the manual lever in the SECOND position (the SECOND position is with the manual lever
moved one detent rearward of the full forward
position), measure the resistance between the Transmission Range Sensor MUX and the Back-up
Lamp feed pins of the TRS. The resistance should be 31.9 ohms. If the resistance is not correct,
replace the TRS.
12. With the manual lever in the LOW position (the LOW position is with the manual lever moved to
the full forward position), measure the resistance
between the Transmission Range Sensor MUX and the Back-up Lamp feed pins of the TRS. The
resistance should be 13.7 ohms. If the resistance is not correct, replace the TRS.

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
All switches, components, and modules are shown in the at rest position with the doors closed and
the key removed from the ignition.
Components are shown two ways. A solid line around a component indicates that the component is
complete. A dashed line around the component indicates that the component is being shown is not
complete. Incomplete components have a reference number to indicate the page where the
component is shown complete.
It is important to realize that no attempt is made on the diagrams to represent components and
wiring as they appear on the vehicle. For example, a short piece of wire is treated the same as a
long one. In addition, switches and other components are shown as simply as possible, with regard
to function only.

DESCRIPTION - CONNECTOR, GROUND AND SPLICE INFORMATION
CAUTION: Not all connectors are serviced. Some connectors are serviced only with a harness. A
typical example might be the Supplemental Restraint System connectors. Always check parts
availability before attempting a repair.
IDENTIFICATION
In-line connectors are identified by a number, as follows:
- In-line connectors located in the engine compartment are C100 series numbers.
- In-line connectors located in the instrument panel area are C200 series numbers.
- In-line connectors located in the body are C300 series numbers.
- Jumper harness connectors are C400 series numbers.
- Grounds and ground connectors are identified with a "G" and follow the same series numbering
as the in-line connectors.
- Splices are identified with an "S" and follow the same series numbering as the in-line connectors.
In addition, S001-S099 numbers are located in the engine compartment.
- Component connectors are identified by the component name instead of a number. Multiple
connectors on a component use a C1, C2, etc. identifier.
LOCATIONS
Vehicle/Locations contains the master connector/ground/splice location index charts with
hyperlinks to the applicable location illustrations. The illustrations contain the connector name (or
number)/ground number/splice number and component identification.
The abbreviation T/O is used in the component location section to indicate a point in which the
wiring harness branches out to a component. The abbreviation N/S means Not Shown in the

Vehicle Speed Sensor: Diagnostic Aids
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Sensitive Devices
STANDARD PROCEDURE - ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) SENSITIVE DEVICES
All ESD sensitive components are solid state and a symbol is used to indicate this. When handling
any component with this symbol, comply with the following procedures to reduce the possibility of
electrostatic charge build up on the body and inadvertent discharge into the component. If it is not
known whether the part is ESD sensitive, assume that it is.
1. Always touch a known good ground before handling the part. This should be repeated while
handling the part and more frequently after sliding
across a seat, sitting down from a standing position, or walking a distance.
2. Avoid touching electrical terminals of the part, unless instructed to do so by a written procedure.
3. When using a voltmeter, be sure to connect the ground lead first. 4. Do not remove the part from
it's protective packing until it is time to install the part. 5. Before removing the part from it's
package, ground the package to a known good ground on the vehicle.

Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- Ohmmeter - Used to check the resistance between two points of a circuit. Low or no resistance in
a circuit means good continuity.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking resistance in these circuits use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
In addition, make sure the power is disconnected from the circuit. Circuits that are powered up by
the vehicle's electrical system can cause damage to the equipment and provide false readings.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Vehicle Speed Sensor >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4910
- Probing Tools - These tools are used for probing terminals in connectors. Select the proper size
tool from Special Tool Package 6807, and insert the probing end (2) into the terminal being tested.
Use the other end of the tool (1) to insert the meter probe.
INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent electrical problems are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. It is also
possible for a sticking component or relay to cause a problem. Before condemning a component or
wiring assembly, check the following items.
- Connectors are fully seated
- Spread terminals, or terminal push out
- Terminals in the wiring assembly are fully seated into the connector/component and locked into
position
- Dirt or corrosion on the terminals. Any amount of corrosion or dirt could cause an intermittent
problem
- Damaged connector/component casing exposing the item to dirt or moisture
- Wire insulation that has rubbed through causing a short to ground
- Some or all of the wiring strands broken inside of the insulation
- Wiring broken inside of the insulation
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are six steps which can aid in the procedure. The
steps are listed and explained below. Always check for non-factory items added to the vehicle
before doing any diagnosis. If the vehicle is equipped with these items, disconnect them to verify
these add-on items are not the cause of the problem.
1. Verify the problem. 2. Verify any related symptoms. Do this by performing operational checks on
components that are in the same circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams. 3. Analyze the symptoms.
Use the wiring diagrams to determine what the circuit is doing, where the problem most likely is
occurring and where the
diagnosis will continue.
4. Isolate the problem area. 5. Repair the problem area. 6. Verify the proper operation. For this
step, check for proper operation of all items on the repaired circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams.

Catalytic Converter: Description and Operation Description
GAS ENGINE
Exhaust System 4.7L Engine - Typical
WARNING: The normal operating temperature of the exhaust system is very high. Therefore, never
work around or attempt to service any part of the exhaust system until it is cooled. Special care
should be taken when working near the catalytic converter. The temperature of the converter rises
to a high level after a short period of engine operation time.
CAUTION: DO NOT remove spark plug wires from plugs or by any other means short out cylinders.
Failure of the catalytic converter can occur due to a temperature increase caused by unburned fuel
passing through the converter.
The stainless steel catalytic converter body is designed to last the life of the vehicle. Excessive
heat can result in bulging or other distortion, but excessive heat will not be the fault of the
converter. If unburned fuel enters the converter, overheating may occur. If a converter is
heat-damaged, correct the cause of the damage at the same time the converter is replaced. Also,
inspect all other components of the exhaust system for heat damage.
Unleaded gasoline must be used to avoid contaminating the catalyst core.
50 State emission vehicles incorporate two mini catalytic converters located after the exhaust
manifolds and before the inline catalytic converter.

- DOC/DPF pressure fittings and temperature sensor wiring for damage
- Joint misalignment
- Denting of greater then 6.3 mm (0.25 in.)
- Outer shell torn, cracked or otherwise damaged
- Loose or damaged core
OFF VEHICLE
With DOC/DPF of vehicle and separated, visually inspect DOC/DPF creamic faces (Inlet and
Outlet) for indication of damage from:
- Fuel fouling
- Oil fouling
- Coolant fouling
- Shifted or move ceramic element
- Ceramic element appears to be plugged and the soot is wet
- More then 20 cells are damaged (broken through), showing soot on the outlet face of the filter.
A fluid soaked DOC/DPF element will have a glossy sheen and a strong fuel, coolant, or oil odor.

the engine is running to level the fuel in both half's of the fuel tank. Allowing the vehicle to idle for
this amount of time will let the fuel pump transfer fuel to the left side tank, opening the control valve
and allowing normal fuel filling.
4. Disconnect the vapor recirculation tube at the fuel tank.
5. Attempt to refill fuel tank.
6. Does tank refill properly?

Evaporative Emission Control Canister: Description and Operation
OPERATION
Depending on engine displacement, either one or two EVAP canisters may be used. Also
depending on vehicle model and fuel tank size, the canisters may be mounted either vertically or
horizontally.
The ESIM (Emission System Integrity Monitor) switch is mounted to the EVAP canister. The NVLD
system is no longer used on any engine.
The EVAP canister(s) are filled with granules of an activated carbon mixture. Fuel vapors entering
the EVAP canisters are absorbed by the charcoal granules.
Fuel tank pressure vents into the EVAP canisters. Fuel vapors are temporarily held in the canisters
until they can be drawn into the intake manifold. The duty cycle EVAP canister purge solenoid
allows the EVAP canisters to be purged at predetermined times and at certain engine operating
conditions.

NOTE:
This bulletin applies to all vehicles equipped with a gasoline engine.
DISCUSSION:
Customer may report that the vehicle is hard to fill with fuel or that the fuel pump nozzle shuts off
repeatedly while trying to fill vehicle.
This customer complaint can occur due to a number of different causes. The fuel tank is the least
likely cause of this condition. The following Diagnostic procedure can be used to diagnose the
issues.
DIAGNOSIS:
1. Is the vehicle a LX/LE/LC/L2?
a. Yes >> proceed to Step # 2
b. No >> proceed to Step # 4
2. Idle the vehicle 60 to 90 seconds upon stopping.
3. Does tank refill properly?
a. No >> proceed to Step # 4
b. Yes >> Inform the customer to idle the vehicle for 60 to 90 seconds upon stopping if vehicle was
driven aggressively. This is due to the fact that
on the LX/LE/LC/L2 the fuel tank is a unique saddle tank design and needs 30 to 60 seconds while
the engine is running to level the fuel in both half's of the fuel tank. Allowing the vehicle to idle for
this amount of time will let the fuel pump transfer fuel to the left side tank, opening the control valve
and allowing normal fuel filling.
4. Disconnect the vapor recirculation tube at the fuel tank.
5. Attempt to refill fuel tank.
6. Does tank refill properly?
a. Yes >> Proceed to Step # 7
b. No >> Proceed to Step # 11.
7. Reconnect the vapor recirculation tube at the fuel tank.
8. Disconnect the other end of the vapor recirculation tube at the fuel filler tube.
9. Attempt to refill fuel tank.
10. Does tank refill properly?
a. Yes >> Replace fuel filler tube.
b. No >> Replace the vapor recirculation tube.

Refueling Vapor Recovery System: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The ORVR (On-Board Refueling Vapor Recovery) system consists of a unique fuel tank, flow
management valve, fluid control valve, one-way check valve and vapor canister.

Refueling Vapor Recovery System: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The ORVR (On-Board Refueling Vapor Recovery) system is used to remove excess fuel tank
vapors. This is done while the vehicle is being refueled.
Fuel flowing into the fuel filler tube (approx. 1" I.D.) creates an aspiration effect drawing air into the
fuel fill tube. During refueling, the fuel tank is vented to the EVAP canister to capture escaping
vapors. With air flowing into the filler tube, there are no fuel vapors escaping to the atmosphere.
Once the refueling vapors are captured by the EVAP canister, the vehicle's computer controlled
purge system draws vapor out of the canister for the engine to burn. The vapor flow is metered by
the purge solenoid so that there is no, or minimal impact on driveability or tailpipe emissions.
As fuel starts to flow through the fuel fill tube, it opens the normally closed check valve and enters
the fuel tank. Vapor or air is expelled from the tank through the control valve and on to the vapor
canister. Vapor is absorbed in the EVAP canister until vapor flow in the lines stops. This stoppage
occurs following fuel shut-off, or by having the fuel level in the tank rise high enough to close the
control valve. This control valve contains a float that rises to seal the large diameter vent path to
the EVAP canister. At this point in the refueling process, fuel tank pressure increases, the check
valve closes (preventing liquid fuel from spiting back at the operator), and fuel then rises up the fuel
filler tube to shut off the dispensing nozzle.

OPERATION-CAB/CHASSIS MODELS
The EGR Temperature Sensor (1) is located on the EGR crossover tube (6) near the EGR valve.
The EGR temperature sensor is a negative temperature coefficient thermistor used to measure the
temperature of the EGR gas flow after it exits the EGR cooler.
The ECM (Engine Control Module) supplies 5-volts to the EGR temperature signal circuit. To
determine the temperature of the EGR gas flow, the ECM monitors the change in voltage caused
by changes in the resistance of the sensor. The ECM uses the exhaust gas recirculation
temperature value for the engine protection system, and also for engine emissions control.

EGR Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation Operation-Cab/Chassis Models
OPERATION-CAB/CHASSIS MODELS
The EGR Temperature Sensor (1) is located on the EGR crossover tube (6) near the EGR valve.
The EGR temperature sensor is a negative temperature coefficient thermistor used to measure the
temperature of the EGR gas flow after it exits the EGR cooler.
The ECM (Engine Control Module) supplies 5-volts to the EGR temperature signal circuit. To
determine the temperature of the EGR gas flow, the ECM monitors the change in voltage caused
by changes in the resistance of the sensor. The ECM uses the exhaust gas recirculation
temperature value for the engine protection system, and also for engine emissions control.

Fuel Filler Cap: Description and Operation Operation
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 vacuum 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 system to remain effective.
CAUTION: Remove fill cap before servicing any fuel system component to relieve tank pressure. If
equipped with an ORVR system and an ESIM switch, the cap must be tightened securely. If cap is
left loose, a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) may be set.

Fuel Filler Cap Warning Indicator: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
A gas cap indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. However, on vehicles
equipped with the optional diesel engine, this indicator is electronically disabled. The gas cap
indication appears within the odometer Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) unit. The gas cap
indicator consists of a textual gASCAP message which appears in place of the odometer/trip
odometer information in the display.
The odometer VFD is soldered onto the cluster electronic circuit board, and is visible through a
window with a smoked clear lens located on the lower edge of the speedometer gauge dial face of
the cluster overlay. The dark lens over the VFD prevents it from being clearly visible when it is not
illuminated. The gas cap textual message appears in the same blue-green color and at the same
lighting level as the odometer/trip odometer information when it is illuminated by the instrument
cluster electronic circuit board.
The gas cap indicator is serviced as a unit with the VFD in the instrument cluster.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Fuel Filler Cap Warning Indicator

Fuel Filler Cap Warning Indicator: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The gas cap indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when there is a gross leak
detected in the on-board fuel vapor recovery system. This indicator is controlled by the instrument
cluster logic circuit based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received over the
Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
The gas cap indicator function of the odometer Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) unit is
completely controlled by the instrument cluster logic circuit, and that logic will only allow this
indicator to operate when the instrument cluster receives a battery current input on the fused
ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the VFD gas cap indication will always be OFF
when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The instrument cluster will turn ON
the gas cap indicator for the following reasons:
- Gas Cap Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic gas cap
indicator lamp-ON message from the PCM indicating there is a gross leak in the vapor recovery
system, the gas cap indicator will be illuminated. If the ignition switch is in the ON position and the
vehicle is not moving when the message is received, the VFD will repeatedly and sequentially cycle
the gas cap indication in two second intervals with the odometer/trip odometer information and any
other active textual warnings. If the vehicle is moving, or once the cluster of a non-moving vehicle
receives an electronic vehicle speed message from the PCM indicating a speed greater than zero,
the warning sequence will consist of three complete display cycles with an audible single chime
tone accompanying each cycle, then revert to only the visual gas cap indication and odometer/trip
odometer display cycling until the cluster receives a message indicating there is no gross leak in
the vapor recovery system, or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever
occurs first. The VFD can be reverted to the odometer display and any currently displayed textual
messages suspended by momentarily depressing and releasing the odometer/trip odometer reset
switch button on the front of the cluster.
The PCM continually monitors the on board vapor recovery system to determine whether there are
air leaks in the system. The PCM then sends the proper electronic messages to the
ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN). If
the EMIC turns ON the gas cap indicator due to a monitored gross leak in the vapor recovery
system, it may indicate that the gas cap has been removed or is improperly installed.
For proper diagnosis of the on board vapor recovery system, the PCM, the EMIC, the CAN data
bus or the electronic communication related to gas cap indicator operation a diagnostic scan tool is
required. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Fuel Injector: Description and Operation Fuel Injector - Operation
Fuel Injector
FUEL INJECTOR
The top (fuel entry) end of the injector (1) is attached into an opening on the fuel rail.
The fuel injectors are electrical solenoids. The injector contains a pintle that closes off an orifice at
the nozzle end. When electric current is supplied to the injector, the armature and needle move a
short distance against a spring, allowing fuel to flow out the orifice. Because the fuel is under high
pressure, a fine spray is developed in the shape of a pencil stream. The spraying action atomizes
the fuel, adding it to the air entering the combustion chamber.
The nozzle (outlet) ends of the injectors are positioned into openings in the intake manifold just
above the intake valve ports of the cylinder head. The engine wiring harness connector for each
fuel injector is equipped with an attached numerical tag (INJ 1, INJ 2 etc.). This is used to identify
each fuel injector.
The injectors are energized individually in a sequential order by the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). The PCM will adjust injector pulse width by switching the ground path to each individual
injector on and off. Injector pulse width is the period of time that the injector is energized. The PCM
will adjust injector pulse width based on various inputs it receives.
Battery voltage is supplied to the injectors through the ASD relay.
The PCM determines injector pulse width based on various inputs.

PCM OUTPUT
The nozzle ends of the injectors are positioned into openings in the intake manifold just above the
intake valve ports of the cylinder head. The engine wiring harness connector for each fuel injector
is equipped with an attached numerical tag (INJ 1, INJ 2 etc.). This is used to identify each fuel
injector with its respective cylinder number.
The injectors are energized individually in a sequential order by the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). The PCM will adjust injector pulse width by switching the ground path to each individual
injector on and off. Injector pulse width is the period of time that the injector is energized. The PCM
will adjust injector pulse width based on various inputs it receives.
Battery voltage (12 volts +) is supplied to the injectors through the ASD relay. The ASD relay will
shut-down the 12 volt power source to the fuel injectors if the PCM senses the ignition is on, but
the engine is not running. This occurs after the engine has not been running for approximately 1.8
seconds.
The PCM determines injector on-time (pulse width) based on various inputs.

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
All switches, components, and modules are shown in the at rest position with the doors closed and
the key removed from the ignition.
Components are shown two ways. A solid line around a component indicates that the component is
complete. A dashed line around the component indicates that the component is being shown is not
complete. Incomplete components have a reference number to indicate the page where the
component is shown complete.
It is important to realize that no attempt is made on the diagrams to represent components and
wiring as they appear on the vehicle. For example, a short piece of wire is treated the same as a
long one. In addition, switches and other components are shown as simply as possible, with regard
to function only.

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Sensitive Devices
STANDARD PROCEDURE - ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) SENSITIVE DEVICES
All ESD sensitive components are solid state and a symbol is used to indicate this. When handling
any component with this symbol, comply with the following procedures to reduce the possibility of
electrostatic charge build up on the body and inadvertent discharge into the component. If it is not
known whether the part is ESD sensitive, assume that it is.
1. Always touch a known good ground before handling the part. This should be repeated while
handling the part and more frequently after sliding
across a seat, sitting down from a standing position, or walking a distance.
2. Avoid touching electrical terminals of the part, unless instructed to do so by a written procedure.
3. When using a voltmeter, be sure to connect the ground lead first. 4. Do not remove the part from
it's protective packing until it is time to install the part. 5. Before removing the part from it's
package, ground the package to a known good ground on the vehicle.
Testing Of Voltage Potential
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TESTING OF VOLTAGE POTENTIAL

Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- Ohmmeter - Used to check the resistance between two points of a circuit. Low or no resistance in
a circuit means good continuity.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking resistance in these circuits use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
In addition, make sure the power is disconnected from the circuit. Circuits that are powered up by
the vehicle's electrical system can cause damage to the equipment and provide false readings.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Fuel Pump > Fuel Pump Relay >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5346
- Probing Tools - These tools are used for probing terminals in connectors. Select the proper size
tool from Special Tool Package 6807, and insert the probing end (2) into the terminal being tested.
Use the other end of the tool (1) to insert the meter probe.
INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent electrical problems are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. It is also
possible for a sticking component or relay to cause a problem. Before condemning a component or
wiring assembly, check the following items.
- Connectors are fully seated
- Spread terminals, or terminal push out
- Terminals in the wiring assembly are fully seated into the connector/component and locked into
position
- Dirt or corrosion on the terminals. Any amount of corrosion or dirt could cause an intermittent
problem
- Damaged connector/component casing exposing the item to dirt or moisture
- Wire insulation that has rubbed through causing a short to ground
- Some or all of the wiring strands broken inside of the insulation
- Wiring broken inside of the insulation
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are six steps which can aid in the procedure. The
steps are listed and explained below. Always check for non-factory items added to the vehicle
before doing any diagnosis. If the vehicle is equipped with these items, disconnect them to verify
these add-on items are not the cause of the problem.
1. Verify the problem. 2. Verify any related symptoms. Do this by performing operational checks on
components that are in the same circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams. 3. Analyze the symptoms.
Use the wiring diagrams to determine what the circuit is doing, where the problem most likely is
occurring and where the
diagnosis will continue.
4. Isolate the problem area. 5. Repair the problem area. 6. Verify the proper operation. For this
step, check for proper operation of all items on the repaired circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams.

DESCRIPTION
Also refer to Quick-Connect Fittings.
WARNING: The fuel system may be under a constant pressure (even with the engine off). Before
servicing any fuel system hoses, fittings, lines, or most components, fuel system pressure must be
released. Refer to the fuel system pressure release procedure.
The lines/tubes/hoses used on fuel injected vehicles are of a special construction. This is due to
the higher fuel pressures and the possibility of contaminated fuel in this system. If it is necessary to
replace these lines/tubes/hoses, only those marked EFM/EFI may be used.
If equipped: The hose clamps used to secure rubber hoses on fuel injected vehicles are of a
special rolled edge construction. This construction is used to prevent the edge of the clamp from
cutting into the hose. Only these rolled edge type clamps may be used in this system. All other
types of clamps may cut into the hoses and cause high-pressure fuel leaks.
Use new original equipment type hose clamps.

NOTE:
This bulletin applies to all vehicles equipped with a gasoline engine.
DISCUSSION:
Customer may report that the vehicle is hard to fill with fuel or that the fuel pump nozzle shuts off
repeatedly while trying to fill vehicle.
This customer complaint can occur due to a number of different causes. The fuel tank is the least
likely cause of this condition. The following Diagnostic procedure can be used to diagnose the
issues.
DIAGNOSIS:
1. Is the vehicle a LX/LE/LC/L2?
a. Yes >> proceed to Step # 2
b. No >> proceed to Step # 4
2. Idle the vehicle 60 to 90 seconds upon stopping.
3. Does tank refill properly?
a. No >> proceed to Step # 4
b. Yes >> Inform the customer to idle the vehicle for 60 to 90 seconds upon stopping if vehicle was
driven aggressively. This is due to the fact that
on the LX/LE/LC/L2 the fuel tank is a unique saddle tank design and needs 30 to 60 seconds while
the engine is running to level the fuel in both half's of the fuel tank. Allowing the vehicle to idle for
this amount of time will let the fuel pump transfer fuel to the left side tank, opening the control valve
and allowing normal fuel filling.
4. Disconnect the vapor recirculation tube at the fuel tank.
5. Attempt to refill fuel tank.
6. Does tank refill properly?
a. Yes >> Proceed to Step # 7
b. No >> Proceed to Step # 11.

Fig.1 ASD And Fuel Pump Relay Terminals-Type 1
Fig.2 ASD And Fuel Pump Relay Terminals-Type 2
The following description of operation and tests apply only to the Automatic Shutdown (ASD) and
fuel pump relays. The terminals on the bottom of each relay are numbered. Two different types of
relays may be used, or.
- Terminal number 30 is connected to battery voltage. For both the ASD and fuel pump relays,
terminal 30 is connected to battery voltage at all times.
- The PCM grounds the coil side of the relay through terminal number 85.
- Terminal number 86 supplies voltage to the coil side of the relay.
- When the PCM de-energizes the ASD and fuel pump relays, terminal number 87A connects to
terminal 30. This is the OFF position. In the OFF position, voltage is not supplied to the rest of the
circuit. Terminal 87A is the center terminal on the relay.
- When the PCM energizes the ASD and fuel pump relays, terminal 87 connects to terminal 30.
This is the ON position. Terminal 87 supplies voltage to the rest of the circuit.
The following procedure applies to the ASD and fuel pump relays.
1. Remove relay from connector before testing. 2. With the relay removed from the vehicle, use an
ohmmeter to check the resistance between terminals 85 and 86. The resistance should be 75
ohms

± 5 ohms.
3. Connect the ohmmeter between terminals 30 and 87A. The ohmmeter should show continuity
between terminals 30 and 87A. 4. Connect the ohmmeter between terminals 87 and 30. The
ohmmeter should not show continuity at this time. 5. Connect one end of a jumper wire (16 gauge
or smaller) to relay terminal 85. Connect the other end of the jumper wire to the ground side of a 12
volt power source.
6. Connect one end of another jumper wire (16 gauge or smaller) to the power side of the 12 volt
power source. Do not attach the other end of the
jumper wire to the relay at this time.
WARNING: DO NOT ALLOW OHMMETER TO CONTACT TERMINALS 85 OR 86 DURING THIS
TEST. DAMAGE TO OHMMETER MAY RESULT.
7. Attach the other end of the jumper wire to relay terminal 86. This activates the relay. The
ohmmeter should now show continuity between relay
terminals 87 and 30. The ohmmeter should not show continuity between relay terminals 87A and
30.
8. Disconnect jumper wires. 9. Replace the relay if it did not pass the continuity and resistance
tests. If the relay passed the tests, it operates properly. Check the remainder of the
ASD and fuel pump relay circuits.

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
All switches, components, and modules are shown in the at rest position with the doors closed and
the key removed from the ignition.
Components are shown two ways. A solid line around a component indicates that the component is
complete. A dashed line around the component indicates that the component is being shown is not
complete. Incomplete components have a reference number to indicate the page where the
component is shown complete.
It is important to realize that no attempt is made on the diagrams to represent components and
wiring as they appear on the vehicle. For example, a short piece of wire is treated the same as a
long one. In addition, switches and other components are shown as simply as possible, with regard
to function only.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) SENSITIVE DEVICES
All ESD sensitive components are solid state and a symbol is used to indicate this. When handling
any component with this symbol, comply with the following procedures to reduce the possibility of
electrostatic charge build up on the body and inadvertent discharge into the component. If it is not
known whether the part is ESD sensitive, assume that it is.
1. Always touch a known good ground before handling the part. This should be repeated while
handling the part and more frequently after sliding
across a seat, sitting down from a standing position, or walking a distance.
2. Avoid touching electrical terminals of the part, unless instructed to do so by a written procedure.
3. When using a voltmeter, be sure to connect the ground lead first. 4. Do not remove the part from
it's protective packing until it is time to install the part. 5. Before removing the part from it's
package, ground the package to a known good ground on the vehicle.
Testing Of Voltage Potential
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TESTING OF VOLTAGE POTENTIAL

When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- Ohmmeter - Used to check the resistance between two points of a circuit. Low or no resistance in
a circuit means good continuity.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking resistance in these circuits use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
In addition, make sure the power is disconnected from the circuit. Circuits that are powered up by
the vehicle's electrical system can cause damage to the equipment and provide false readings.

- Probing Tools - These tools are used for probing terminals in connectors. Select the proper size
tool from Special Tool Package 6807, and insert the probing end (2) into the terminal being tested.
Use the other end of the tool (1) to insert the meter probe.
INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent electrical problems are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. It is also
possible for a sticking component or relay to cause a problem. Before condemning a component or
wiring assembly, check the following items.
- Connectors are fully seated
- Spread terminals, or terminal push out
- Terminals in the wiring assembly are fully seated into the connector/component and locked into
position
- Dirt or corrosion on the terminals. Any amount of corrosion or dirt could cause an intermittent
problem
- Damaged connector/component casing exposing the item to dirt or moisture
- Wire insulation that has rubbed through causing a short to ground
- Some or all of the wiring strands broken inside of the insulation
- Wiring broken inside of the insulation
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are six steps which can aid in the procedure. The
steps are listed and explained below. Always check for non-factory items added to the vehicle
before doing any diagnosis. If the vehicle is equipped with these items, disconnect them to verify
these add-on items are not the cause of the problem.
1. Verify the problem. 2. Verify any related symptoms. Do this by performing operational checks on
components that are in the same circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams. 3. Analyze the symptoms.
Use the wiring diagrams to determine what the circuit is doing, where the problem most likely is
occurring and where the
diagnosis will continue.
4. Isolate the problem area. 5. Repair the problem area. 6. Verify the proper operation. For this
step, check for proper operation of all items on the repaired circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams.

Fuel Pump Relay: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
A separate fuel pump relay is no longer used. A circuit within the TIPM (Totally Integrated Power
Module) is used to control the electric fuel pump located within the fuel pump module. The TIPM (1)
is located in the engine compartment in front of the battery.

Fuel Pump Relay: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) energizes the electric fuel pump through the fuel pump
relay. The fuel pump relay is energized by first applying battery voltage to it when the ignition key is
turned ON, and then applying a ground signal to the relay from the PCM.
Whenever the ignition key is turned ON, the electric fuel pump will operate. But, the PCM will
shut-down the ground circuit to the fuel pump relay in approximately 1-3 seconds unless the engine
is operating or the starter motor is engaged.

Fig.1 ASD And Fuel Pump Relay Terminals-Type 1
Fig.2 ASD And Fuel Pump Relay Terminals-Type 2
The following description of operation and tests apply only to the Automatic Shutdown (ASD) and
fuel pump relays. The terminals on the bottom of each relay are numbered. Two different types of
relays may be used, or.
- Terminal number 30 is connected to battery voltage. For both the ASD and fuel pump relays,
terminal 30 is connected to battery voltage at all times.
- The PCM grounds the coil side of the relay through terminal number 85.
- Terminal number 86 supplies voltage to the coil side of the relay.
- When the PCM de-energizes the ASD and fuel pump relays, terminal number 87A connects to
terminal 30. This is the OFF position. In the OFF position, voltage is not supplied to the rest of the
circuit. Terminal 87A is the center terminal on the relay.
- When the PCM energizes the ASD and fuel pump relays, terminal 87 connects to terminal 30.
This is the ON position. Terminal 87 supplies voltage to the rest of the circuit.
The following procedure applies to the ASD and fuel pump relays.
1. Remove relay from connector before testing. 2. With the relay removed from the vehicle, use an
ohmmeter to check the resistance between terminals 85 and 86. The resistance should be 75
ohms

± 5 ohms.
3. Connect the ohmmeter between terminals 30 and 87A. The ohmmeter should show continuity
between terminals 30 and 87A. 4. Connect the ohmmeter between terminals 87 and 30. The
ohmmeter should not show continuity at this time. 5. Connect one end of a jumper wire (16 gauge
or smaller) to relay terminal 85. Connect the other end of the jumper wire to the ground side of a 12
volt power source.
6. Connect one end of another jumper wire (16 gauge or smaller) to the power side of the 12 volt
power source. Do not attach the other end of the
jumper wire to the relay at this time.
WARNING: DO NOT ALLOW OHMMETER TO CONTACT TERMINALS 85 OR 86 DURING THIS
TEST. DAMAGE TO OHMMETER MAY RESULT.
7. Attach the other end of the jumper wire to relay terminal 86. This activates the relay. The
ohmmeter should now show continuity between relay
terminals 87 and 30. The ohmmeter should not show continuity between relay terminals 87A and
30.
8. Disconnect jumper wires. 9. Replace the relay if it did not pass the continuity and resistance
tests. If the relay passed the tests, it operates properly. Check the remainder of the
ASD and fuel pump relay circuits.

Camshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
4.7L
The CMP sensor engine contains a hall effect device called a sync signal generator to generate a
fuel sync signal. This sync signal generator detects notches located on a tonewheel. The
tonewheel (4) is located at the front of the camshaft for the right cylinder head (2). As the
tonewheel rotates, the notches (1) pass through the sync signal generator. The pattern of the
notches (viewed counter-clockwise from front of engine) is: 1 notch, 2 notches, 3 notches, 3
notches, 2 notches, 1 notch, 3 notches and 1 notch. The signal from the CMP sensor is used in
conjunction with the crankshaft position sensor to differentiate between fuel injection and spark
events. It is also used to synchronize the fuel injectors with their respective cylinders.

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
4.7L V-8
Engine speed and crankshaft position are provided through the CKP (Crankshaft Position) sensor.
The sensor generates pulses that are the input sent to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The
PCM interprets the sensor input to determine the crankshaft position. The PCM then uses this
position, along with other inputs, to determine injector sequence and ignition timing.
The sensor is a hall effect device combined with an internal magnet. It is also sensitive to steel
within a certain distance from it.
A tonewheel (1) is bolted to the engine crankshaft. This tonewheel has sets of notches (2) at its
outer edge.
The notches cause a pulse to be generated when they pass under the sensor. The pulses are the
input to the PCM.

An individual ignition coil (1) is used for each pair of spark plugs. Each coil attaches directly to the
top of the eight upper bank of spark plugs. Secondary cables (3) connect each coil to the eight
lower bank of spark plugs. The coils themselves fit into machined holes in the cylinder head. Each
coil also has its own individual electrical connector (2). Note: The bolt used to mount the ignition
coil is also the same bolt used to mount the intake manifold. If replacing either one, or, all eight
coils, check and re-torque all eight bolts.
A mounting bolt (3) secures each coil to the top of the intake manifold. The bottom of the coil is
equipped with a rubber boot (4) to seal the spark plug (5) to the coil. Inside each rubber boot is a
spring. The spring is used for a mechanical contact between the coil and the top of the upper bank
of spark plugs. These rubber boots and springs are a permanent part of the coil and are not
serviced separately. The rubber boot (4) is also used to seal the coil at the opening into the cylinder
head.

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
Two knock sensors are bolted into the cylinder block under the intake manifold 3.7L, 4.7L & 8.3L.
Two knock sensors are also used with the 5.7L. These are bolted into each side of the cylinder
block (outside) under the exhaust manifold.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Ignition System > Knock Sensor > Component Information >
Description and Operation > Description > Page 5664
Knock Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
Two knock sensors are used; 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 which constantly vibrates and sends an input
voltage (signal) to the PCM while the engine operates. As the 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
maximum authority that long term memory has over timing retard can be calibrated.
Short term memory is allowed to retard timing up to a preset amount under all operating conditions
(as long as rpm is above the minimum rpm) except at Wide Open Throttle (WOT). The PCM, using
short term memory, can respond quickly to retard timing when engine knock is detected. Short term
memory is lost any time the ignition key is turned off.
NOTE: Over or under tightening the sensor mounting bolts will affect knock sensor performance,
possibly causing improper spark control. Always use the specified torque when installing the knock
sensors.

The CMP sensor engine contains a hall effect device called a sync signal generator to generate a
fuel sync signal. This sync signal generator detects notches located on a tonewheel. The
tonewheel (4) is located at the front of the camshaft for the right cylinder head (2). As the
tonewheel rotates, the notches (1) pass through the sync signal generator. The pattern of the
notches (viewed counter-clockwise from front of engine) is: 1 notch, 2 notches, 3 notches, 3
notches, 2 notches, 1 notch, 3 notches and 1 notch. The signal from the CMP sensor is used in
conjunction with the crankshaft position sensor to differentiate between fuel injection and spark
events. It is also used to synchronize the fuel injectors with their respective cylinders.

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
4.7L V-8
Engine speed and crankshaft position are provided through the CKP (Crankshaft Position) sensor.
The sensor generates pulses that are the input sent to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The
PCM interprets the sensor input to determine the crankshaft position. The PCM then uses this
position, along with other inputs, to determine injector sequence and ignition timing.
The sensor is a hall effect device combined with an internal magnet. It is also sensitive to steel
within a certain distance from it.
A tonewheel (1) is bolted to the engine crankshaft. This tonewheel has sets of notches (2) at its
outer edge.
The notches cause a pulse to be generated when they pass under the sensor. The pulses are the
input to the PCM.

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
Two knock sensors are bolted into the cylinder block under the intake manifold 3.7L, 4.7L & 8.3L.
Two knock sensors are also used with the 5.7L. These are bolted into each side of the cylinder
block (outside) under the exhaust manifold.

Knock Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
Two knock sensors are used; 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 which constantly vibrates and sends an input
voltage (signal) to the PCM while the engine operates. As the 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
maximum authority that long term memory has over timing retard can be calibrated.
Short term memory is allowed to retard timing up to a preset amount under all operating conditions
(as long as rpm is above the minimum rpm) except at Wide Open Throttle (WOT). The PCM, using
short term memory, can respond quickly to retard timing when engine knock is detected. Short term
memory is lost any time the ignition key is turned off.
NOTE: Over or under tightening the sensor mounting bolts will affect knock sensor performance,
possibly causing improper spark control. Always use the specified torque when installing the knock
sensors.

Overdrive Solenoid: Description and Operation 42RLE Automatic Transmission
Description
DESCRIPTION
The Solenoid/Pressure Switch Assembly (1) is inside the transmission and mounted to the valve
body assembly. The assembly consists of four solenoids that control hydraulic pressure to the L/R,
2/4, OD, and UD friction elements (transmission clutches), and the torque converter clutch. The
reverse clutch is controlled by line pressure from the manual valve in the valve body. The solenoids
are contained within the Solenoid/Pressure Switch Assembly, and can only be serviced by
replacing the assembly.
The solenoid assembly also contains pressure switches that monitor and send hydraulic circuit
information to the TCM. Likewise, the pressure switches can only be service by replacing the
assembly.
Operation
OPERATION
SOLENOIDS
The solenoids receive electrical power from the Transmission Control Relay through a single wire.
The TCM energizes or operates the solenoids individually by grounding the return wire of the
solenoid needed. When a solenoid is energized, the solenoid valve shifts, and a fluid passage is
opened or closed (vented or applied), depending on its default operating state. The result is an
apply or release of a frictional element.
The 2/4 and UD solenoids are normally applied, which allows fluid to pass through in their relaxed
or "off" state. By design, this allows transmission limp-in (P,R,N,2) in the event of an electrical
failure.
The continuity of the solenoids and circuits are periodically tested. Each solenoid is turned on or off
depending on its current state. An inductive spike should be detected by the TCM during this test. If
no spike is detected, the circuit is tested again to verify the failure. In addition to the periodic
testing, the solenoid circuits are tested if a speed ratio or pressure switch error occurs.
PRESSURE SWITCHES
The TCM relies on three pressure switches to monitor fluid pressure in the L/R, 2/4, and OD
hydraulic circuits. The primary purpose of these switches is to help the TCM detect when clutch
circuit hydraulic failures occur. The range for the pressure switch closing and opening points is
11-23 psi. Typically the switch opening point will be approximately one psi lower than the closing
point. For example, a switch may close at 18 psi and open at 17 psi. The switches are continuously
monitored by the TCM for the correct states (open or closed) in each gear as shown in the
following chart:

Description and Operation > 42RLE Automatic Transmission > Page 5780
A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set if the TCM senses any switch open or closed at the
wrong time in a given gear.
The TCM also tests the 2/4 and OD pressure switches when they are normally off (OD and 2/4 are
tested in 1st gear, OD in 2nd gear, and 2/4 in 3rd gear). The test simply verifies that they are
operational, by looking for a closed state when the corresponding element is applied. Immediately
after a shift into 1st, 2nd, or 3rd gear with the engine speed above 1000 rpm, the TCM momentarily
turns on element pressure to the 2/4 and/or OD clutch circuits to identify that the appropriate switch
has closed. If it doesn't close, it is tested again. If the switch fails to close the second time, the
appropriate Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set.

Operation
OPERATION
SOLENOIDS
Solenoids are used to control the L/R, 2C, 4C, OD, and UD friction elements. The reverse clutch is
controlled by line pressure and the position of the manual valve in the valve body. All the solenoids
are contained within the Solenoid and Pressure Switch Assembly. The solenoid and pressure
switch assembly contains one additional solenoid, Multi-Select (MS), which serves primarily to
provide 2nd and 3rd gear limp-in operation.
The solenoids receive electrical power from the Transmission Control Relay through a single wire.
The TCM energizes or operates the solenoids individually by grounding the return wire of the
solenoid as necessary. When a solenoid is energized, the solenoid valve shifts, and a fluid
passage is opened or closed (vented or applied), depending on its default operating state. The
result is an apply or release of a frictional element.
The MS and UD solenoids are normally applied to allow transmission limp-in in the event of an

Pressure Regulating Solenoid: Description and Operation 42RLE Automatic Transmission
Description
DESCRIPTION
The pressure control solenoid (1) is mounted on the top of the valve body, next to the line pressure
sensor (2).
The TCM utilizes a closed-loop system to control transmission line pressure. The system contains
a variable force style solenoid, the Pressure Control Solenoid. The solenoid is duty cycle controlled
by the TCM to vent the unnecessary line pressure supplied by the oil pump back to the sump. The
system also contains a variable pressure style sensor, the Line Pressure Sensor, which is a direct
input to the TCM. The line pressure solenoid monitors the transmission line pressure and
completes the feedback loop to the TCM. The TCM uses this information to adjust its control of the
pressure control solenoid to achieve the desired line pressure.
Operation
OPERATION
The pressure control solenoid (PCS) is a variable force (VFS) style solenoid. A VFS solenoid is an
electro-hydraulic actuator, combining a solenoid and a regulating valve.
The transmission control module varies the current for the PCS, which varies the pressure in the
line pressure hydraulic circuit. When the current (duty cycle) of the PCS is low, the pressure in the
circuit is higher. At 0 current (0% duty cycle), the pressure is at the maximum value. Conversely,
when the current is maximized (100% duty cycle), the pressure in the circuit is at the lowest
possible value.

The Solenoid/Pressure Switch Assembly (1) is inside the transmission and mounted to the valve
body assembly. The assembly consists of four solenoids that control hydraulic pressure to the L/R,
2/4, OD, and UD friction elements (transmission clutches), and the torque converter clutch. The
reverse clutch is controlled by line pressure from the manual valve in the valve body. The solenoids
are contained within the Solenoid/Pressure Switch Assembly, and can only be serviced by
replacing the assembly.
The solenoid assembly also contains pressure switches that monitor and send hydraulic circuit
information to the TCM. Likewise, the pressure switches can only be service by replacing the
assembly.
Operation
OPERATION
SOLENOIDS
The solenoids receive electrical power from the Transmission Control Relay through a single wire.
The TCM energizes or operates the solenoids individually by grounding the return wire of the
solenoid needed. When a solenoid is energized, the solenoid valve shifts, and a fluid passage is
opened or closed (vented or applied), depending on its default operating state. The result is an
apply or release of a frictional element.
The 2/4 and UD solenoids are normally applied, which allows fluid to pass through in their relaxed
or "off" state. By design, this allows transmission limp-in (P,R,N,2) in the event of an electrical
failure.
The continuity of the solenoids and circuits are periodically tested. Each solenoid is turned on or off
depending on its current state. An inductive spike should be detected by the TCM during this test. If
no spike is detected, the circuit is tested again to verify the failure. In addition to the periodic
testing, the solenoid circuits are tested if a speed ratio or pressure switch error occurs.
PRESSURE SWITCHES
The TCM relies on three pressure switches to monitor fluid pressure in the L/R, 2/4, and OD
hydraulic circuits. The primary purpose of these switches is to help the TCM detect when clutch
circuit hydraulic failures occur. The range for the pressure switch closing and opening points is
11-23 psi. Typically the switch opening point will be approximately one psi lower than the closing
point. For example, a switch may close at 18 psi and open at 17 psi. The switches are continuously
monitored by the TCM for the correct states (open or closed) in each gear as shown in the
following chart:

Information > Description and Operation > 42RLE Automatic Transmission > Page 5837
A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set if the TCM senses any switch open or closed at the
wrong time in a given gear.
The TCM also tests the 2/4 and OD pressure switches when they are normally off (OD and 2/4 are
tested in 1st gear, OD in 2nd gear, and 2/4 in 3rd gear). The test simply verifies that they are
operational, by looking for a closed state when the corresponding element is applied. Immediately
after a shift into 1st, 2nd, or 3rd gear with the engine speed above 1000 rpm, the TCM momentarily
turns on element pressure to the 2/4 and/or OD clutch circuits to identify that the appropriate switch
has closed. If it doesn't close, it is tested again. If the switch fails to close the second time, the
appropriate Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set.

Description
DESCRIPTION
The transmission solenoid/TRS assembly is internal to the transmission and mounted on the valve
body assembly. The assembly consists of six solenoids that control hydraulic pressure to the six
friction elements (transmission clutches), and the torque converter clutch. The pressure control
solenoid is located on the side of the solenoid/TRS assembly. The solenoid/TRS assembly also
contains the Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) and five pressure switches that feed information to
the TCM.
Operation
OPERATION
SOLENOIDS
Solenoids are used to control the L/R, 2C, 4C, OD, and UD friction elements. The reverse clutch is
controlled by line pressure and the position of the manual valve in the valve body. All the solenoids
are contained within the Solenoid and Pressure Switch Assembly. The solenoid and pressure
switch assembly contains one additional solenoid, Multi-Select (MS), which serves primarily to
provide 2nd and 3rd gear limp-in operation.
The solenoids receive electrical power from the Transmission Control Relay through a single wire.
The TCM energizes or operates the solenoids individually by grounding the return wire of the
solenoid as necessary. When a solenoid is energized, the solenoid valve shifts, and a fluid
passage is opened or closed (vented or applied), depending on its default operating state. The
result is an apply or release of a frictional element.
The MS and UD solenoids are normally applied to allow transmission limp-in in the event of an
electrical failure.
The continuity of the solenoids and circuits are periodically tested. Each solenoid is turned on or off
depending on its current state. An inductive spike should be detected by the TCM during this test. If
no spike is detected, the circuit is tested again to verify the failure. In addition to the periodic

circuit hydraulic failures occur. The switches close at 23 psi and open at 11 psi, and simply indicate
whether or not pressure exists. The switches are continuously monitored by the TCM for the
correct states (open or closed) in each gear as shown in the following charts and 545RFE

Shift Solenoid: Description and Operation 42RLE Automatic Transmission
Description
DESCRIPTION
The Solenoid/Pressure Switch Assembly (1) is inside the transmission and mounted to the valve
body assembly. The assembly consists of four solenoids that control hydraulic pressure to the L/R,
2/4, OD, and UD friction elements (transmission clutches), and the torque converter clutch. The
reverse clutch is controlled by line pressure from the manual valve in the valve body. The solenoids
are contained within the Solenoid/Pressure Switch Assembly, and can only be serviced by
replacing the assembly.
The solenoid assembly also contains pressure switches that monitor and send hydraulic circuit
information to the TCM. Likewise, the pressure switches can only be service by replacing the
assembly.
Operation
OPERATION
SOLENOIDS
The solenoids receive electrical power from the Transmission Control Relay through a single wire.
The TCM energizes or operates the solenoids individually by grounding the return wire of the
solenoid needed. When a solenoid is energized, the solenoid valve shifts, and a fluid passage is
opened or closed (vented or applied), depending on its default operating state. The result is an
apply or release of a frictional element.
The 2/4 and UD solenoids are normally applied, which allows fluid to pass through in their relaxed
or "off" state. By design, this allows transmission limp-in (P,R,N,2) in the event of an electrical
failure.
The continuity of the solenoids and circuits are periodically tested. Each solenoid is turned on or off
depending on its current state. An inductive spike should be detected by the TCM during this test. If
no spike is detected, the circuit is tested again to verify the failure. In addition to the periodic
testing, the solenoid circuits are tested if a speed ratio or pressure switch error occurs.
PRESSURE SWITCHES
The TCM relies on three pressure switches to monitor fluid pressure in the L/R, 2/4, and OD
hydraulic circuits. The primary purpose of these switches is to help the TCM detect when clutch
circuit hydraulic failures occur. The range for the pressure switch closing and opening points is
11-23 psi. Typically the switch opening point will be approximately one psi lower than the closing
point. For example, a switch may close at 18 psi and open at 17 psi. The switches are continuously
monitored by the TCM for the correct states (open or closed) in each gear as shown in the
following chart:

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Transmission Control Systems > Actuators and Solenoids Transmission and Drivetrain > Actuators and Solenoids - A/T > Shift Solenoid, A/T > Component Information > Description
and Operation > 42RLE Automatic Transmission > Page 5898
A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set if the TCM senses any switch open or closed at the
wrong time in a given gear.
The TCM also tests the 2/4 and OD pressure switches when they are normally off (OD and 2/4 are
tested in 1st gear, OD in 2nd gear, and 2/4 in 3rd gear). The test simply verifies that they are
operational, by looking for a closed state when the corresponding element is applied. Immediately
after a shift into 1st, 2nd, or 3rd gear with the engine speed above 1000 rpm, the TCM momentarily
turns on element pressure to the 2/4 and/or OD clutch circuits to identify that the appropriate switch
has closed. If it doesn't close, it is tested again. If the switch fails to close the second time, the
appropriate Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set.

Description
DESCRIPTION
The transmission solenoid/TRS assembly is internal to the transmission and mounted on the valve
body assembly. The assembly consists of six solenoids that control hydraulic pressure to the six
friction elements (transmission clutches), and the torque converter clutch. The pressure control
solenoid is located on the side of the solenoid/TRS assembly. The solenoid/TRS assembly also
contains the Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) and five pressure switches that feed information to
the TCM.
Operation
OPERATION
SOLENOIDS
Solenoids are used to control the L/R, 2C, 4C, OD, and UD friction elements. The reverse clutch is
controlled by line pressure and the position of the manual valve in the valve body. All the solenoids
are contained within the Solenoid and Pressure Switch Assembly. The solenoid and pressure
switch assembly contains one additional solenoid, Multi-Select (MS), which serves primarily to
provide 2nd and 3rd gear limp-in operation.
The solenoids receive electrical power from the Transmission Control Relay through a single wire.
The TCM energizes or operates the solenoids individually by grounding the return wire of the
solenoid as necessary. When a solenoid is energized, the solenoid valve shifts, and a fluid
passage is opened or closed (vented or applied), depending on its default operating state. The
result is an apply or release of a frictional element.
The MS and UD solenoids are normally applied to allow transmission limp-in in the event of an
electrical failure.
The continuity of the solenoids and circuits are periodically tested. Each solenoid is turned on or off
depending on its current state. An inductive spike should be detected by the TCM during this test. If
no spike is detected, the circuit is tested again to verify the failure. In addition to the periodic
testing, the solenoid circuits are tested if a speed ratio or pressure switch error occurs.
PRESSURE SWITCHES
The TCM relies on five pressure switches to monitor fluid pressure in the L/R, 2C, 4C, UD, and OD
hydraulic circuits. The primary purpose of these switches is to help the TCM detect when clutch
circuit hydraulic failures occur. The switches close at 23 psi and open at 11 psi, and simply indicate
whether or not pressure exists. The switches are continuously monitored by the TCM for the
correct states (open or closed) in each gear as shown in the following charts and 545RFE

Throttle Valve Solenoid: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION
On vehicles equipped with a Cummins diesel engine, the transmission throttle valve cable has
been replace by the transmission throttle valve actuator (TTVA). The TTVA consists of an electric
DC motor, two potentiometers, and a gear drive system. The TTVA is mechanically connected to
the transmission throttle valve in the valve body by the "D" shaped opening in the bottom of the
TTVA shaft. Changes in the TTVA position are therefore transferred to the throttle valve and cause
changes in the transmission throttle pressure.

Throttle Valve Solenoid: Adjustments
ADJUSTMENT
The Transmission Throttle Valve Actuator (TTVA) does not require any mechanical adjustments.
All changes in throttle valve position are controlled by the Engine Control Module (ECM).
The TTVA does require an initialization period after the actuator has been removed or replaced.
After the actuator has been removed or replaced, move the ignition to the ON position for thirty (30)
seconds. This will allow the ECM sufficient time to perform the internal calibration procedures to
learn the TTVA's current "zero" position. Once this is done, check the ECM for diagnostic trouble
codes (DTCs). If no DTCs are set relating to the TTVA, the TTVA is fully calibrated and ready for
use.

Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid: Description and Operation 42RLE Automatic Transmission
Description
DESCRIPTION
The Solenoid/Pressure Switch Assembly (1) is inside the transmission and mounted to the valve
body assembly. The assembly consists of four solenoids that control hydraulic pressure to the L/R,
2/4, OD, and UD friction elements (transmission clutches), and the torque converter clutch. The
reverse clutch is controlled by line pressure from the manual valve in the valve body. The solenoids
are contained within the Solenoid/Pressure Switch Assembly, and can only be serviced by
replacing the assembly.
The solenoid assembly also contains pressure switches that monitor and send hydraulic circuit
information to the TCM. Likewise, the pressure switches can only be service by replacing the
assembly.
Operation
OPERATION
SOLENOIDS
The solenoids receive electrical power from the Transmission Control Relay through a single wire.
The TCM energizes or operates the solenoids individually by grounding the return wire of the
solenoid needed. When a solenoid is energized, the solenoid valve shifts, and a fluid passage is
opened or closed (vented or applied), depending on its default operating state. The result is an
apply or release of a frictional element.
The 2/4 and UD solenoids are normally applied, which allows fluid to pass through in their relaxed
or "off" state. By design, this allows transmission limp-in (P,R,N,2) in the event of an electrical
failure.
The continuity of the solenoids and circuits are periodically tested. Each solenoid is turned on or off
depending on its current state. An inductive spike should be detected by the TCM during this test. If
no spike is detected, the circuit is tested again to verify the failure. In addition to the periodic
testing, the solenoid circuits are tested if a speed ratio or pressure switch error occurs.
PRESSURE SWITCHES
The TCM relies on three pressure switches to monitor fluid pressure in the L/R, 2/4, and OD
hydraulic circuits. The primary purpose of these switches is to help the TCM detect when clutch
circuit hydraulic failures occur. The range for the pressure switch closing and opening points is
11-23 psi. Typically the switch opening point will be approximately one psi lower than the closing
point. For example, a switch may close at 18 psi and open at 17 psi. The switches are continuously
monitored by the TCM for the correct states (open or closed) in each gear as shown in the
following chart:
Dodge Ram 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (Truck V8-4.7L (2008))

Information > Description and Operation > 42RLE Automatic Transmission > Page 5921
A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set if the TCM senses any switch open or closed at the
wrong time in a given gear.
The TCM also tests the 2/4 and OD pressure switches when they are normally off (OD and 2/4 are
tested in 1st gear, OD in 2nd gear, and 2/4 in 3rd gear). The test simply verifies that they are
operational, by looking for a closed state when the corresponding element is applied. Immediately
after a shift into 1st, 2nd, or 3rd gear with the engine speed above 1000 rpm, the TCM momentarily
turns on element pressure to the 2/4 and/or OD clutch circuits to identify that the appropriate switch
has closed. If it doesn't close, it is tested again. If the switch fails to close the second time, the
appropriate Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set.

Description
DESCRIPTION
The transmission solenoid/TRS assembly is internal to the transmission and mounted on the valve
body assembly. The assembly consists of six solenoids that control hydraulic pressure to the six

solenoid is located on the side of the solenoid/TRS assembly. The solenoid/TRS assembly also
contains the Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) and five pressure switches that feed information to
the TCM.
Operation
OPERATION
SOLENOIDS
Solenoids are used to control the L/R, 2C, 4C, OD, and UD friction elements. The reverse clutch is
controlled by line pressure and the position of the manual valve in the valve body. All the solenoids
are contained within the Solenoid and Pressure Switch Assembly. The solenoid and pressure
switch assembly contains one additional solenoid, Multi-Select (MS), which serves primarily to
provide 2nd and 3rd gear limp-in operation.
The solenoids receive electrical power from the Transmission Control Relay through a single wire.
The TCM energizes or operates the solenoids individually by grounding the return wire of the
solenoid as necessary. When a solenoid is energized, the solenoid valve shifts, and a fluid
passage is opened or closed (vented or applied), depending on its default operating state. The
result is an apply or release of a frictional element.
The MS and UD solenoids are normally applied to allow transmission limp-in in the event of an
electrical failure.
The continuity of the solenoids and circuits are periodically tested. Each solenoid is turned on or off
depending on its current state. An inductive spike should be detected by the TCM during this test. If
no spike is detected, the circuit is tested again to verify the failure. In addition to the periodic

circuit hydraulic failures occur. The switches close at 23 psi and open at 11 psi, and simply indicate
whether or not pressure exists. The switches are continuously monitored by the TCM for the
correct states (open or closed) in each gear as shown in the following charts and 545RFE

Overdrive Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
An overdrive off indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. However, on vehicles
not equipped with an optional overdrive automatic transmission, this indicator is electronically
disabled. This indicator is located on the right side of the instrument cluster, to the right of the
coolant temperature gauge.
The overdrive off indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the text O/D OFF in the opaque layer
of the instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from
being clearly visible when it is not illuminated. An amber Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the
cutout in the opaque layer of the overlay causes the indicator to appear in amber through the
translucent outer layer of the overlay when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is
soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
When the exterior lighting is turned ON, the illumination intensity of the overdrive off indicator is
dimmable, which is adjusted along with the cluster general illumination lighting using the panel
lamps dimmer thumbwheel on the headlamp switch.
The overdrive off indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Overdrive Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The overdrive off indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the overdrive-OFF
position of the tow/haul switch has been selected, disabling the electronically controlled overdrive
feature of the automatic transmission. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument
cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received by the
cluster from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data
bus.
The overdrive off indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument
cluster logic circuit, and that logic will only allow this indicator to operate when the instrument
cluster receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit.
Therefore, the LED will always be OFF when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or
START. The LED only illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster
transistor. The instrument cluster will turn ON the overdrive off indicator for the following reasons:
- Overdrive Off Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic
overdrive off indicator lamp-ON message from the PCM indicating that the overdrive-OFF position
of the tow/haul switch has been selected, the indicator will be illuminated. The indicator remains
illuminated until the cluster receives a lamp-OFF message from the PCM, or until the ignition switch
is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the overdrive off indicator will
be turned ON, then OFF again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality
of the LED and the cluster control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the tow/haul switch to determine the proper outputs to the automatic
transmission. The PCM then sends the proper lamp-ON or lamp-OFF message to the
ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN).
For further diagnosis of the overdrive off indicator or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the
indicator, Refer to appropriate testing.
For proper diagnosis of the transmission control system, the PCM, the EMIC, the CAN data bus or
the electronic communication related to overdrive off indicator operation a diagnostic scan tool is
required. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Temperature Warning Indicator - A/T: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
A transmission over-temperature indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters.
However, on vehicles not equipped with an optional automatic transmission, this indicator is
electronically disabled. This indicator is located in the lower portion of the tachometer dial face in
the instrument cluster overlay.
The transmission over-temperature indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the International
Control and Display Symbol icon for Transmission Temperature in the opaque layer of the
instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being
clearly visible when it is not illuminated. A red Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the
opaque layer of the overlay causes the indicator to appear in red through the translucent outer
layer of the overlay when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the
instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
The transmission over-temperature indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Temperature Warning Indicator - A/T: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The transmission over-temperature indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the
transmission fluid temperature is excessive, which may lead to accelerated transmission
component wear or failure. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument cluster
circuit board based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received over the
Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
The transmission over-temperature indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by
the instrument cluster logic circuit, and that logic will only allow this indicator to operate when the
instrument cluster receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start)
circuit. Therefore, the LED will always be OFF when the ignition switch is in any position except ON
or START. The LED only illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster
transistor. The instrument cluster will turn ON the transmission over-temperature indicator for the
following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position the transmission
over-temperature indicator is illuminated for about two seconds as a bulb test.
- Trans Over-Temp Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic
trans over-temp indicator lamp-ON message from the PCM indicating that the transmission fluid
temperature is 135 °C (275 °F) or higher, the indicator will be illuminated and a single chime tone is
sounded. The indicator remains illuminated until the cluster receives a lamp-OFF message from
the PCM, or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first. The chime
tone feature will only repeat during the same ignition cycle if the indicator is cycled OFF and then
ON again by the appropriate lamp-ON and lamp-OFF messages from the PCM.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the transmission
over-temperature indicator will be turned ON, then OFF again during the bulb check portion of the
test to confirm the functionality of the LED and the cluster control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the transmission temperature sensor to determine the transmission
operating condition. The PCM then sends the proper lamp-ON or lamp-OFF message to the
ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN). If
the instrument cluster illuminates the transmission over-temperature indicator due to a high
transmission oil temperature condition, it may indicate that the transmission or the transmission
cooling system are being overloaded, or that they require service. For further diagnosis of the
transmission over-temperature indicator or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the LED,
Refer to appropriate testing.
For proper diagnosis of the transmission temperature sensor, the PCM, the EMIC, the CAN data
bus or the electronic communication related to transmission over-temperature indicator operation a
diagnostic scan tool is required. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

DESCRIPTION
An electronic automatic transmission gear selector indicator is standard factory-installed equipment
on this vehicle. However, on vehicles not equipped with an optional automatic transmission, this
indicator is electronically disabled. The gear selector indicator information is displayed in an
electronic, blue-green Vacuum-Fluorescent Display (VFD) unit. This VFD unit is soldered onto the
cluster electronic circuit board and is visible through a window with a smoked clear lens located on
the lower edge of the speedometer dial face of the cluster overlay. The dark lens over the VFD
prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated.
The gear selector indicator displays the following characters from left to right: P, R, N, D, 2, and 1.
Each character appears in a blue-green color and at the same lighting level as the odometer
information. Respectively, these characters represent the PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL, DRIVE,
second gear, and first gear positions of the transmission gear selector lever on the steering
column. The indicator illuminates a rectangular box around the character that represents the
currently selected lever position.
During daylight hours (exterior lamps are OFF) the gear selector indicator is illuminated at full
brightness for clear visibility. At night (exterior lamps are ON), the indicator lighting level is adjusted
with the other cluster general illumination lamps using the panel lamps dimmer thumbwheel on the
headlamp switch. However, a PARADE mode position of the panel lamps dimmer thumbwheel
allows the indicator to be illuminated at full brightness if the exterior lamps are turned ON during
daylight hours.
The gear selector indicator is serviced as a unit with the VFD unit in the instrument cluster.

Transmission Mode Indicator - A/T: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The electronic gear selector indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator of the transmission
gear that has been selected with the automatic transmission gear selector lever. This indicator is
controlled by the instrument cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming. The cluster
circuitry automatically configures itself for the proper transmission type based upon the hard wired
transmission range sensor mux circuit input to the cluster.
The gear selector indicator information is displayed by the odometer/trip odometer Vacuum
Fluorescent Display (VFD) unit soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board, and
the VFD will not display the gear selector indicator information after the ignition switch is turned to
the OFF position. Each time the cluster is disconnected from battery current for more than about
five minutes, it must configure itself for the automatic transmission type that is in the vehicle once it
is reconnected to battery current. The instrument cluster circuitry configures the gear selector
indicator based upon the following inputs from the transmission range sensor:
- Open Circuit - If the cluster is configured for an automatic transmission and the transmission
range sensor mux circuit is open, the cluster circuitry controls the gear selector indicator display
based upon an electronic selected gear message received from the Transmission Control Module
(TCM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus. If the Transmission Range Sensor (TRS)
mux circuit is open and no electronic selected gear messages are received from the TCM within
two seconds, the instrument cluster circuitry will not display any gear selector position until the
condition is resolved or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Resolved Circuit - If the transmission range sensor mux circuit is resolved, the cluster circuitry
controls the gear selector indicator display based upon the resistance value of the hard wired input
from the TRS. If the cluster is configured for an automatic transmission with a TRS input and
detects a short to ground or an open in the TRS mux input, the instrument cluster circuitry will not
display any gear selector position in the VFD. The VFD display for the short-to-ground and open
circuit conditions will continue until the condition is resolved or until the ignition switch is turned to
the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the odometer/trip odometer
VFD will display all of its characters at once, then step through each character segment individually
during the VFD portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the VFD and the cluster control
circuitry.
On vehicles with a TCM, the TCM continually monitors the TRS, then sends the proper message to
the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment
Node/CCN). On vehicles without a TCM, the EMIC continually monitors the hard wired TRS
multiplexed input. On vehicles with a TCM, for proper diagnosis of the TRS, the TCM, the EMIC,
the CAN data bus or the electronic communication related to gear selector indicator operation a
diagnostic scan tool is required.

4WD Auto Indicator
4WD AUTO INDICATOR
A 4WD auto indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. However, on vehicles not
equipped with the optional four-wheel drive system and electronically shifted transfer case, this
indicator is electronically disabled. The 4WD auto indicator is located on the right side of the
instrument cluster, to the right of the oil pressure gauge.
The 4WD auto indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the text 4WD AUTO in the opaque layer
of the instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from
being clearly visible when it is not illuminated. An amber Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the
cutout in the opaque layer of the overlay causes the indicator to appear in amber through the
translucent outer layer of the overlay when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is
soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
When the exterior lighting is turned ON, the illumination intensity of the 4WD auto indicator is
dimmable, which is adjusted along with the cluster general illumination lighting using the panel
lamps dimmer thumbwheel on the headlamp switch.
The 4WD auto indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Four Wheel Drive Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation Operation
4WD Auto Indicator
4WD AUTO INDICATOR
The 4WD auto indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the electronic transfer
case has been shifted into the 4WD auto mode. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the
instrument cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received
by the cluster from the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) over the Controller Area Network
(CAN) data bus.
The 4WD auto indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument
cluster logic circuit, and that logic will only allow this indicator to operate when the instrument
cluster receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit.
Therefore, the LED will always be OFF when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or
START. The LED only illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster
transistor. The instrument cluster will turn ON the 4WD auto indicator for the following reasons:
- 4WD Auto Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic 4WD auto
indicator lamp-ON message from the TIPM, the indicator will be illuminated. The indicator remains
illuminated until the cluster receives a lamp-OFF message from the TIPM, or until the ignition
switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the 4WD auto indicator will
be turned ON, then OFF again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality
of the LED and the cluster control circuitry.
The TIPM continually monitors the electronic transfer case through the transfer case shift
motor/mode sensor assembly to determine when the 4WD auto mode is engaged. The TIPM then
sends the proper lamp-ON or lamp-OFF message to the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster
(EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN). For further diagnosis of the 4WD auto
indicator or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the LED, Refer to appropriate testing.
For proper diagnosis of the transfer case shift motor/mode sensor, the TIPM, the EMIC, the CAN
data bus or the electronic communication related to 4WD auto indicator operation a diagnostic scan
tool is required. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Malfunction Indicator Lamp - Transfer Case: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The service 4WD indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the Totally Integrated
Power Module (TIPM) has recorded a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for an electronic transfer
case circuit or component malfunction. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument
cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received by the
cluster from the TIPM over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The service 4WD indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument
cluster logic circuit, and that logic will only allow this indicator to operate when the instrument
cluster receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit.
Therefore, the LED will always be OFF when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or
START. The LED only illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster
transistor. The instrument cluster will turn ON the service 4WD indicator for the following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position the service 4WD indicator is
illuminated for about two seconds as a bulb test.
- Service 4WD Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic service
4WD indicator lamp-ON message from the TIPM, the service 4WD indicator will be illuminated. The
indicator remains illuminated until the cluster receives a lamp-OFF message from the TIPM, or until
the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Communication Error - If the cluster receives no lamp-ON or lamp-OFF messages from the TIPM
for 10 seconds the service 4WD indicator is illuminated by the cluster to indicate a loss of TIPM
communication. The indicator remains controlled and illuminated by the cluster until a valid
message is received from the TIPM.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the service 4WD indicator
will be turned ON, then OFF again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the
functionality of the LED and the cluster control circuitry.
The TIPM continually monitors the electronic transfer case control circuits and transfer case shift
motor/mode sensor assembly to determine the condition of the system. The TIPM then sends the
proper lamp-ON or lamp-OFF message to the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also
known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN). For further diagnosis of the service 4WD indicator or
the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the LED, Refer to appropriate testing.
For proper diagnosis of the TIPM, the EMIC, the CAN data bus or the electronic communication
related to service 4WD indicator operation a diagnostic scan tool is required. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.

Control Module: Description and Operation Transmission Control Module - Operation
OPERATION
RLE and RFE TRANSMISSIONS
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) controls all electronic operations of the transmission. The
TCM receives information regarding vehicle operation from both direct and indirect inputs, and
selects the operational mode of the transmission. Direct inputs are hard wired to, and used
specifically by the TCM. Indirect inputs are shared with the TCM via the vehicle communication
bus.
Some examples of direct inputs to the TCM are:
- Battery (B+) voltage
- Ignition "ON" voltage
- Transmission Control Relay (Switched B+) (if equipped)
- Throttle Position Sensor
- Crankshaft Position Sensor
- Transmission Range Sensor
- Pressure Switches
- Transmission Temperature Sensor
- Input Shaft Speed Sensor
- Output Shaft Speed Sensor
- Line Pressure Sensor
Some examples of indirect inputs to the TCM are:
- Target Idle
- Torque Reduction Confirmation
- Engine Coolant Temperature
- Ambient/Battery Temperature
- Scan Tool Communication
Based on the information received from these various inputs, the TCM determines the appropriate
shift schedule and shift points, depending on the present operating conditions and driver demand.
This is possible through the control of various direct and indirect outputs.
Some examples of TCM direct outputs are:
- Transmission Control Relay
- Solenoids
- Torque Reduction Request
Some examples of TCM indirect outputs are:
- Transmission Temperature (to PCM)
- PRNDL Position (to cluster/CCN)
In addition to monitoring inputs and controlling outputs, the TCM has other important
responsibilities and functions:
- Storing and maintaining Clutch Volume Indexes (CVI)
- Storing and selecting appropriate Shift Schedules
- System self-diagnostics
- Diagnostic capabilities (with scan tool)
NOTE: If the TCM has been replaced, the "Quick Learn Procedure" must be performed. See:
Testing and Inspection/Programming and Relearning/Transmission Control Module/TCM Quick
Learn
BATTERY FEED
A fused, direct battery feed to the TCM is used for continuous power. This battery voltage is
necessary to retain memory in the TCM. When the battery (B+) is disconnected, this memory is
lost. When the battery (B+) is restored, this memory loss is detected by the TCM and a Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) is set.
CLUTCH VOLUME INDEXES (CVI)
Dodge Ram 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (Truck V8-4.7L (2008))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Transmission Control Systems > Relays and Modules Transmission and Drivetrain > Relays and Modules - A/T > Control Module, A/T > Component Information > Description and
Operation > Transmission Control Module - Description > Page 6047
An important function of the TCM is to monitor Clutch Volume Indexes (CVI). CVIs represent the
volume of fluid needed to compress a clutch pack.
The TCM monitors gear ratio changes by monitoring the Input and Output Speed Sensors. The
Input, or Turbine Speed Sensor sends an electrical signal to the TCM that represents input shaft
rpm. The Output Speed Sensor provides the TCM with output shaft speed information.
By comparing the two inputs, the TCM can determine transmission gear position. This is important
to the CVI calculation because the TCM determines CVIs by monitoring how long it takes for a gear
change to occur.
Gear ratios can be determined by using the Scan Tool and reading the Input/Output Speed Sensor
values in the "Monitors" display. Gear ratio can be obtained by dividing the Input Speed Sensor
value by the Output Speed Sensor value.
For example, if the input shaft is rotating at 1000 rpm and the output shaft is rotating at 500 rpm,
then the TCM can determine that the gear ratio is 2:1. In direct drive (3rd gear), the gear ratio
changes to 1:1. The gear ratio changes as clutches are applied and released. By monitoring the
length of time it takes for the gear ratio to change following a shift request, the TCM can determine
the volume of fluid used to apply or release a friction element.
The volume of transmission fluid needed to apply the friction elements are continuously updated for
adaptive controls. As friction material wears, the volume of fluid need to apply the element
increases.
Certain mechanical problems within the input clutch assembly can cause inadequate or
out-of-range element volumes. Also, defective Input/Output Speed Sensors and wiring can cause
these conditions. The following charts identifies the appropriate clutch volumes and when they are
monitored/updated:

Operation > Transmission Control Module - Description > Page 6048
SHIFT SCHEDULES
As mentioned earlier, the TCM has programming that allows it to select a variety of shift schedules.
Shift schedule selection is dependent on the following:
- Shift lever position
- Throttle position
- Engine load
- Fluid temperature
- Software level
As driving conditions change, the TCM appropriately adjusts the shift schedule. Refer to the
following chart to determine the appropriate operation expected, depending on driving conditions.

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
All switches, components, and modules are shown in the at rest position with the doors closed and
the key removed from the ignition.
Components are shown two ways. A solid line around a component indicates that the component is
complete. A dashed line around the component indicates that the component is being shown is not
complete. Incomplete components have a reference number to indicate the page where the
component is shown complete.
It is important to realize that no attempt is made on the diagrams to represent components and
wiring as they appear on the vehicle. For example, a short piece of wire is treated the same as a
long one. In addition, switches and other components are shown as simply as possible, with regard
to function only.

Transmission Control System Relay: Diagnostic Aids
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Sensitive Devices
STANDARD PROCEDURE - ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) SENSITIVE DEVICES
All ESD sensitive components are solid state and a symbol is used to indicate this. When handling
any component with this symbol, comply with the following procedures to reduce the possibility of
electrostatic charge build up on the body and inadvertent discharge into the component. If it is not
known whether the part is ESD sensitive, assume that it is.
1. Always touch a known good ground before handling the part. This should be repeated while
handling the part and more frequently after sliding
across a seat, sitting down from a standing position, or walking a distance.
2. Avoid touching electrical terminals of the part, unless instructed to do so by a written procedure.
3. When using a voltmeter, be sure to connect the ground lead first. 4. Do not remove the part from
it's protective packing until it is time to install the part. 5. Before removing the part from it's
package, ground the package to a known good ground on the vehicle.
Testing Of Voltage Potential
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TESTING OF VOLTAGE POTENTIAL
1. Connect the ground lead of a voltmeter to a known good ground. 2. Connect the other lead of
the voltmeter to the selected test point. The vehicle ignition may need to be turned ON to check
voltage. Refer to the
appropriate test procedure.
Testing For Continuity

STANDARD PROCEDURE - TESTING FOR CONTINUITY
1. Remove the fuse (1) for the circuit being checked or, disconnect the battery. 2. Connect one lead
of the ohmmeter to one side of the circuit being tested 3. Connect the other lead to the other end of
the circuit being tested. Low or no resistance means good continuity.
Testing For A Short To Ground
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TESTING FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
1. Remove the fuse and disconnect all items involved with the fuse. 2. Connect a test light or a
voltmeter across the terminals of the fuse. 3. Starting at the fuse block, wiggle the wiring harness
about six to eight inches apart and watch the voltmeter/test lamp. 4. If the voltmeter registers
voltage or the test lamp glows, there is a short to ground in that general area of the wiring harness.
Testing For A Short To Ground On Fuses Powering Several Loads
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TESTING FOR A SHORT TO GROUND ON FUSES POWERING
SEVERAL LOADS
1. Refer to the wiring diagrams and disconnect or isolate all items on the suspected fused circuits.
2. Replace the blown fuse. 3. Supply power to the fuse by turning ON the ignition switch or
re-connecting the battery. 4. Start connecting or energizing the items in the fuse circuit one at a
time. When the fuse blows the circuit with the short to ground has been isolated.

Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- Ohmmeter - Used to check the resistance between two points of a circuit. Low or no resistance in
a circuit means good continuity.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking resistance in these circuits use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
In addition, make sure the power is disconnected from the circuit. Circuits that are powered up by
the vehicle's electrical system can cause damage to the equipment and provide false readings.

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6071
- Probing Tools - These tools are used for probing terminals in connectors. Select the proper size
tool from Special Tool Package 6807, and insert the probing end (2) into the terminal being tested.
Use the other end of the tool (1) to insert the meter probe.
INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent electrical problems are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. It is also
possible for a sticking component or relay to cause a problem. Before condemning a component or
wiring assembly, check the following items.
- Connectors are fully seated
- Spread terminals, or terminal push out
- Terminals in the wiring assembly are fully seated into the connector/component and locked into
position
- Dirt or corrosion on the terminals. Any amount of corrosion or dirt could cause an intermittent
problem
- Damaged connector/component casing exposing the item to dirt or moisture
- Wire insulation that has rubbed through causing a short to ground
- Some or all of the wiring strands broken inside of the insulation
- Wiring broken inside of the insulation
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are six steps which can aid in the procedure. The
steps are listed and explained below. Always check for non-factory items added to the vehicle
before doing any diagnosis. If the vehicle is equipped with these items, disconnect them to verify
these add-on items are not the cause of the problem.
1. Verify the problem. 2. Verify any related symptoms. Do this by performing operational checks on
components that are in the same circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams. 3. Analyze the symptoms.
Use the wiring diagrams to determine what the circuit is doing, where the problem most likely is
occurring and where the
diagnosis will continue.
4. Isolate the problem area. 5. Repair the problem area. 6. Verify the proper operation. For this
step, check for proper operation of all items on the repaired circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams.

Control Module: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM) functionality now resides in the Totally Integrated
Power Module (TIPM), refer to the TIPM information for location and additional information. The
TIPM controls the 4X4 transfer case shift functions via the actuation of a shift motor and utilizing
the feedback of a mode sensor assembly. Communication is via the CAN bus. Inputs include user
selectable 4X4 modes that include 2WD, AWD, 4HI, 4LO, and Neutral (selections vary with the
specific transfer case).

Control Module: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM) functionality in the Totally Integrated Power Module
(TIPM) utilizes the input from the transfer case mounted mode sensor, the instrument panel
mounted selector switch, and the following information from the vehicle's CAN bus to determine if a
shift is allowed.
- Engine RPM and Vehicle Speed
- Diagnostic Requests
- Manual Transmission and Brake Applied
- PRNDL
- Ignition Status
- ABS Messages
Once the TIP determines that a requested shift is allowed, it actuates the bi-directional shift motor
as necessary to achieve the desired transfer case operating mode. The TIPM also monitors the
mode sensor while controlling the shift motor to determine the status of the shift attempt.
Several items can cause the requested shift not to be completed. If the TIPM has recognized a
fault (DTC) of some variety, it will begin operation in one of four Functionality Levels. These levels
are:
- Level Zero - Normal Operation.
- Level One - Only Mode Shifts Are Allowed.
- Level Two - Only Mode Shifts and Shifts Into LOW Are Allowed (No Neutral Shifts Are Allowed).
- Level Three - No Shifts Are Allowed
The TIPM can also be operating in one of three possible power modes. These power modes are:
- Full Power Mode is the normal operational mode of the module. This mode is achieved by normal
CAN bus traffic being present and the ignition being in the RUN position.
Reduced Power Mode will be entered when the ignition has been powered off. In this state, the
module will shut down power supplied to external devices, and to electronic interface inputs and
outputs. From this state the module can enter either Sleep Mode or Full Power Mode. To enter this
mode, the module must receive an ignition message denoting that the ignition is off, or not receive
any messages for 5 ±0.5 seconds. To exit this mode, the module must receive one ignition
message that denotes that the ignition is in the RUN position.
- Sleep Mode will be entered, from the Reduced Power Mode, when no CAN traffic has been
sensed for 20 ±1 seconds. If during Sleep Mode the module detects CAN bus traffic, it will revert to
the Reduced Power mode while monitoring for ignition messages. It will remain in this state as long
as there is traffic other than run or start messages, and will return to Sleep mode if the bus goes
without traffic for 20 ±1 seconds.
SHIFT REQUIREMENTS
If the TIPM is in full power mode and at functionality level zero, it uses the following criteria to
determine if a shift is allowed.
If any of the driver controllable conditions are not met once the shift request is recognized, the
TIPM will solidly illuminate the source position's LED and flash the desired position's LED for all
shifts except NEUTRAL. The NEUTRAL shift LED strategy will be discussed later.
Mode shifts will be allowed regardless of transmission gear or vehicle speed, whenever the
following conditions are met:
- Front and rear wheel speed are within 21 km/h (13 mph).
- A change in the Selector switch state indicates that a mode shift has been requested.
- A valid mode sensor signal is being sensed by the TIPM.
- Proper transmit/receive messages are occurring on the CAN bus.
- Ignition key switch is in the RUN position.
Range shifts will be allowed only if all of the following conditions are met:
- Front and rear wheel speed are within 21 km/h (13 mph).
- A change in the Selector Switch state indicating a range shift has been requested.
- Transmission in NEUTRAL signal must be recognized for at least 1.5 seconds ±100 msec.
(Automatic transmissions only)
- Proper transmit/receive messages are occurring on the CAN bus.
- Clutch signal is recognized for 500 msec ± 50 msec (Manual transmissions only).
- Vehicle speed is less than or equal to 4.8 km/h (3 mph).
- Ignition key switch is in the RUN position.
- A valid mode sensor signal is being sensed by the TIPM.

Information > Description and Operation > Description > Page 6096
A shift into transfer case Neutral will be allowed only if all of the following conditions are met:
- Front and rear wheel speed are within 21 km/h (13 mph).
- The recessed Neutral Selection switch has been depressed continuously for 4.0 seconds ±100
msec while all shift conditions have been continuously met.
- Transmission in NEUTRAL signal recognized from the bus. (Automatic transmissions only)
- Clutch signal is recognized from the bus (Manual transmissions only).
- Proper message transmissions/receptions are occurring on the CAN bus.
- Vehicle speed is less than or equal to 4.8 km/h (3 mph).
- Ignition key switch is in the RUN position, engine off.
- Foot Brake is applied.
- A valid mode sensor signal is being sensed by the TIPM.
A shift out of transfer case Neutral will be allowed only if all of the following conditions are met:
- Front and rear wheel speed are within 21 km/h (13 mph).
- The recessed Neutral Selection switch has been depressed continuously for 1.0 seconds ±100
msec while all shift conditions have been continuously met.
- Transmission in NEUTRAL signal recognized from the bus.(Automatic transmissions only)
- Clutch signal is recognized from the bus (Manual transmissions only).
- Proper message transmissions/receptions are occurring on the CAN bus.
- Vehicle speed is less than or equal to 4.8 km/h (3 mph).
- Ignition key switch is in the RUN position.
- Foot Brake is applied.
- A valid mode sensor signal is being sensed by the TIPM.
SHIFT SEQUENCES
Once all the driver controllable conditions for the requested shift have been met, the TIPM begins a
shift timer with a maximum duration of 1 second per 'D' channel transition. If the shift timer expires
before the TIPM recognizes to correct mode sensor code, the shift is considered to have been
blocked. The blocked shift will increment the blocked shift counter by one. The TIPM strategy for
handling blocked shifts will be described later. The process the TIPM performs for the various shifts
will be described first.
RANGE AND MODE SHIFTS
The process for performing all the range and mode shifts are the same. The following steps
describe the process.
- Allow time for Selector Switch debounce; 250 msec ±50 msec.
- Extinguish the source gear's LED while flashing desired transfer case position's LED.
- Engage the shift motor for a maximum of 1 second ±100 msec per 'D' channel transition in the
destination gear's direction while monitoring the mode sensor channel transitions.
- Disengage the shift motor when the correct mode sensor code is recognized.
- Solidly illuminate the selected gear's LED.
- Transmit a bus message that the transfer case shift is complete.
- If the desired mode sensor code is not received after the shift timer expires (ie. a blocked or other
condition exists), stop driving the motor and wait for 200 msec ±50 msec. The shift motor is then
reversed in the direction back toward the source gear for up to 1.0 seconds ±100 msec. per 'D'
channel. The TIPM waits for 2.0 seconds ±50 msec. and repeats the attempt to shift to the desired
position.
The exception to the preceding sequence is when a shift from 4L to 2WD/AWD is requested. If
2WD/AWD is requested from the 4L position, the transfer case is first driven to the 4H position. If
the 4H position is reached, the transfer case is then driven back to the 2WD/AWD position and the
shift is considered complete. If the transfer case does not reach any the 4H position, but is in the
2WD/AWD 'D' channel, or the 2WD/AWD between gear position on the 4H side of 2WD/AWD, the
shift is also considered complete.
SHIFT OUT OF NEUTRAL
The following steps describe the process for a shift out of NEUTRAL.
- Extinguish the Neutral LED.
- Engage the shift motor for a maximum of 1 second ±100 msec toward the transfer case 4H mode
position while monitoring the mode sensor channel transitions.
- Disengage the shift motor when the correct mode sensor code is recognized.
- Extinguish the Neutral LED.
- Transmit a bus message that the transfer case shift is complete.
- If the desired mode sensor code is not received after the shift timer expires (ie. a blocked or other
condition exists), stop driving the motor and wait for 200 msec ±50 msec. The shift motor is then
reversed in the direction back toward the source gear for up to 1.0 seconds 100 msec. The

Information > Description and Operation > Description > Page 6097
TIPM waits for 2.0 seconds ±50 msec. and repeats the attempt to shift to the desired position.
- When the Neutral button is released, if the 4H position is the desired position, the shift is
complete. Illuminate the 4H LED.
- Otherwise when the Neutral button is released, if all of the shift requirements are being met then
engage the shift motor towards the desired position for 1 second ±100 msec per 'D' channel. (if
requirements for shifting are not met, illuminate the 4H LED and flash the destination LED as an
indication to the driver that all of the driver controllable shift conditions are not being met). If this
requires another range or mode shift, begin the range/mode shift process.
- If the desired mode sensor code is not received after the shift timer expires (i.e. a blocked or other
condition exists), refer to the Blocked Shift Strategy.
BLOCKED SHIFT STRATEGY
When a shift is commanded, the shift motor will be driven towards its destination position, except in
the case of shifting out of Neutral if 4L was selected (the transfer case will shift to the 4H position
first, before proceeding to 4L). If the shift is blocked on the way to the destination, the TIPM may
attempt to drive the motor back to the original position. This process will be allowed to occur 5
times. If the transfer case has reached a non-NEUTRAL 'D' channel during the shift re-attempts,
the LED for the achieved gear position is illuminated and the shift attempts are stopped. To
re-attempt the desired shift, the selector switch will need to be rotated to the current position until
the switch debounce timer expires then a shift will need to be requested again.
At the end of the 5th blocked attempt, the shift motor is driven towards the last known 'D' channel
position. If this motor drive allows the transfer case to reach the 2WD/AWD 'D' channel, or the
2WD/AWD between gear position on the 4H side of 2WD/AWD, the shift is considered complete
and the shift attempts are ended.
If the mode sensor is in the NEUTRAL region at the expiration of the shift timer, the TIPM will
continue to make the shift attempts according to the blocked shift strategy independent of whether
or not the driver controlled conditions are met.
For shifts from NEUTRAL, if all 5 attempts fail to reach the desired position (which by default is
4H), the motor will be driven to stall in the direction of 4H or 4L, depending on the achieved
position. If the transfer case has reached the 2WD/AWD or 4L between gear position nearest the
NEUTRAL positions and the shift conditions are no longer being met, the transfer case will be
driven toward the corresponding 'D' channel. Otherwise, the transfer case will be driven in the
direction opposite the last attempt with the desired target being 4H or 4L.
If the transfer case reaches the 2WD/AWD 'D' channel when being driven in the 4H direction, then
one final 1.0 second drive toward 4H is attempted. If the transfer case then reaches any of the 4H
positions, the shift is considered complete and the 4H LED is illuminated. If the transfer case is still
the 2WD/AWD position, the shift is considered complete and the 2WD/AWD LED is illuminated.
NOTE: If after the 5th blocked shift and reversal attempt, if the transfer case position is in the
NEUTRAL region, shift attempts will continue until a non-NEUTRAL 'D' channel is reached.
SHIFT REVERSAL TARGETS
If the shift timer expires (1 second per 'D' channel) and the transfer case has not reached the
desired position, all shifts will attempt to return to their original position with the exceptions of:
- If the intended shift is going to the High rail from Low and can't make it, but it can make the
2WD/AWD position, the motor stops at that position. The TIPM will not attempt to cross back over
NEUTRAL if it does not have to. This means that there was a block on the first attempt to go to 4H
and the transfer case has made it through NEUTRAL to a known good position, then the motor will
go back only to the 2WD/4WD position and execute the remainder of the attempts from there.
- For shifts out of NEUTRAL, any time a shift is commanded out of NEUTRAL, the system needs to
get out. The TIPM should never go to NEUTRAL unless the driver is commanding it and all
required conditions are being met
ENCODER DRIFT CORRECTION
Whenever a shift is completed, the TIPM stores the position in memory as the transfer case's
intended position. The TIPM continuously monitors the mode sensor and if the mode sensor drifts
toward into a NEUTRAL region sensor position for 2.0 seconds, the TIPM will perform a motor
drive to correct the drift. The transfer case will be driven toward the intended position for 1.0
seconds 100 msec. The TIPM will wait for 2.0 seconds ±50 msec. and repeat the attempt to shift to
the desired position. This will continue until the intended position is reached.
SHIFT MOTOR BRAKING
Two modes of shift motor braking are employed to improve shift performance, static and dynamic.
Static shift motor braking is utilized under the following conditions:
- Whenever the transfer case is in the 2WD/AWD or 4L 'D' channel position.
- Whenever an invalid mode sensor code is present.
Static motor braking is achieved by applying +12V on both shift motor wires.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Transmission Control Systems > Relays and Modules Transmission and Drivetrain > Relays and Modules - Transfer Case > Control Module, Transfer Case > Component
Information > Description and Operation > Description > Page 6098
NOTE: Static Shift Motor Braking is independent of ignition key position.
SHIFT ATTEMPT LIMIT
To protect the transfer case system, the TIPM will impose a limit on the number of shifts that can
occur over a calibrated time period. The system will monitor the number of 'D' channel segment
transitions that occur in any 30 second time period. If the number of segment transitions is 30 or
greater, the system will go into a default mode. The default mode of operation for shifting is that the
number of allowed 'D' channel transitions permitted to occur will be 3 over each 15 second ±100
msec calibrated window of time. After 5 minutes ±100 msec, the motor can be assumed to have
cooled down and the system will revert to normal operation. The following rules also apply to the
shift limit:
- The attempt limit will not prevent shifts coming out of NEUTRAL, they will be allowed regardless
of the counter/timer.
- Any shift that is in progress when the counter reaches a maximum count in time will be allowed to
complete before the default mode is entered. D-channel transitions during this period will not be
counted towards the default mode limit.
- A block, regardless of the direction, whether towards destination or back towards reversal target
(shift timer expiring), will count as a value of 2 transitions towards the 30 segment transitions to go
into default mode as defined above. Current attempt limit values are 30 transitions in 30 seconds
and default mode values are 3 transitions every 15 seconds for 5 minutes.

Description
DESCRIPTION
The line pressure sensor (2) is mounted on the top of the valve body, next to the pressure control
solenoid (1).
The TCM utilizes a closed-loop system to control transmission line pressure. The system contains
a variable force style solenoid, the Pressure Control Solenoid. The solenoid is duty cycle controlled
by the TCM to vent the unnecessary line pressure supplied by the oil pump back to the sump. The
system also contains a variable pressure style sensor, the Line Pressure Sensor, which is a direct
input to the TCM. The line pressure solenoid monitors the transmission line pressure and
completes the feedback loop to the TCM. The TCM uses this information to adjust its control of the
pressure control solenoid to achieve the desired line pressure.
Operation
OPERATION
The TCM calculates the desired line pressure based upon inputs from the transmission and engine.
The TCM calculates the torque input to the transmission and uses that information as the primary
input to the calculation. The line pressure is set to a predetermined value during shifts and when
the transmission is in the PARK and NEUTRAL positions. This is done to ensure consistent shift
quality. During all other operation, the actual line pressure is compared to the desired line pressure
and adjustments are made to the pressure control solenoid duty cycle.

Shift Solenoid Position Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The transmission solenoid/TRS assembly is internal to the transmission and mounted on the valve
body assembly. The assembly consists of six solenoids that control hydraulic pressure to the six
friction elements (transmission clutches), and the torque converter clutch. The pressure control
solenoid is located on the side of the solenoid/TRS assembly. The solenoid/TRS assembly also
contains the Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) and five pressure switches that feed information to
the TCM.

Shift Solenoid Position Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
SOLENOIDS
Solenoids are used to control the L/R, 2C, 4C, OD, and UD friction elements. The reverse clutch is
controlled by line pressure and the position of the manual valve in the valve body. All the solenoids
are contained within the Solenoid and Pressure Switch Assembly. The solenoid and pressure
switch assembly contains one additional solenoid, Multi-Select (MS), which serves primarily to
provide 2nd and 3rd gear limp-in operation.
The solenoids receive electrical power from the Transmission Control Relay through a single wire.
The TCM energizes or operates the solenoids individually by grounding the return wire of the
solenoid as necessary. When a solenoid is energized, the solenoid valve shifts, and a fluid
passage is opened or closed (vented or applied), depending on its default operating state. The
result is an apply or release of a frictional element.
The MS and UD solenoids are normally applied to allow transmission limp-in in the event of an
electrical failure.
The continuity of the solenoids and circuits are periodically tested. Each solenoid is turned on or off
depending on its current state. An inductive spike should be detected by the TCM during this test. If
no spike is detected, the circuit is tested again to verify the failure. In addition to the periodic
testing, the solenoid circuits are tested if a speed ratio or pressure switch error occurs.
PRESSURE SWITCHES
The TCM relies on five pressure switches to monitor fluid pressure in the L/R, 2C, 4C, UD, and OD
hydraulic circuits. The primary purpose of these switches is to help the TCM detect when clutch
circuit hydraulic failures occur. The switches close at 23 psi and open at 11 psi, and simply indicate
whether or not pressure exists. The switches are continuously monitored by the TCM for the
correct states (open or closed) in each gear as shown in the following charts and 545RFE
PRESSURE SWITCH STATES:
A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set if the TCM senses any switch open or closed at the
wrong time in a given gear.

Transmission Position Switch/Sensor: Description and Operation 42RLE Automatic Transmission
Description
DESCRIPTION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) (2) is mounted to the top of the valve body inside the
transmission and can only be serviced by removing the valve body assembly. The electrical
connector extends through the transmission case.
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) has four switch contacts that monitor shift lever position
and send the information to the PCM.
Operation
OPERATION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) communicates shift lever position (SLP) to the TCM as a
combination of open and closed switches. Each shift lever position has an assigned combination of
switch states (open/closed) that the TCM receives from four sense circuits. The TCM interprets this
information and determines the appropriate transmission gear position and shift schedule.
Since there are four switches, there are 16 possible combinations of open and closed switches
(codes). Seven of these codes are related to gear position and three are recognized as "between
gear" codes. This results in six codes which should never occur. These are called "invalid" codes.
An invalid code will result in a DTC, and the TCM will then determine the shift lever position based
on pressure switch data. This allows reasonably normal transmission operation with a TRS failure.

The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) has five switch contact pins that:
- Determine shift lever position
- Supply ground to the Starter Relay in Park and Neutral only.
- Supply +12 V to the backup lamps in Reverse only.
The TRS also has an integrated temperature sensor (thermistor) that communicates transmission
temperature to the TCM and PCM.

Description
DESCRIPTION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) has 3 primary functions:
- Provide a PARK/NEUTRAL start signal to the engine controller and the starter relay.
- Turn the Back-up lamps on when the transmission is in REVERSE and the engine (ignition) is on.
- Provide a transmission range signal to the instrument cluster.
The sensor is mounted in the transmission housing near the valve body, just above the pan rail. It's
in the same position as the Park/Neutral switch on other transmissions. The TRS contacts a
cammed surface on the manual valve lever. The cammed surface translates the rotational motion
of the manual lever into the linear motion of the sensor. The cammed surface on the manual lever
is comprised of two parts controlling the TRS signal: The insulator portion contacts the switch
poppet when the manual lever is not in PARK or NEUTRAL. The manual lever itself contacts the
poppet when the lever is in PARK or NEUTRAL; providing a ground for the signal from the starter
relay and the appropriate engine controller.

As the switch moves through its linear motion contacts slide across a circuit board which changes
the resistance between the range sensing pins of the switch. A power supply on the instrument
cluster provides a regulated voltage signal to the switch. The return signal is decoded by the
cluster, which then controls the PRNDL display to correspond with the correct transmission range.
A bus message of transmission range is also sent by the cluster. In REVERSE range a second

Transmission Position Switch/Sensor: Testing and Inspection
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR (TRS)
NOTE: For all circuit identification in the following steps, Refer to the appropriate Wiring
Information.
1. Raise vehicle on suitable hoist. 2. Disconnect the vehicle's shift cable from the manual lever. 3.
With the manual lever in the PARK position (the PARK position is with the manual lever moved to
the full rearward position), measure the
resistance between the Park/Neutral Position Sense pin of the TRS and the transmission case. The
resistance should be less than 5 ohms.
4. With the manual lever in the NEUTRAL position (the NEUTRAL position is with the manual lever
moved two detents forward of the full
rearward position), measure the resistance between the Park/Neutral Position Sense pin of the
TRS and the transmission case. The resistance should be less than 5 ohms.
5. If the resistance is greater than 5 ohms in either of the previous steps, check for a dirty contact
between the tip of the TRS rod and the valve body
manual lever. If the contact is OK, replace the TRS.
6. With the manual lever in the REVERSE position (the REVERSE position is with the manual lever
moved one detent forward of the full rearward
position), measure the resistance between the Fused Ignition Switch Output and the Back-up Lamp
feed pins of the TRS. The resistance should be less than 5 ohms. If the resistance is greater than 5
ohms, replace the TRS.
7. With the manual lever in the PARK position (the PARK position is with the manual lever moved
to the full rearward position), measure the
resistance between the Transmission Range Sensor MUX and the Transmission Range Sensor 5V
Supply pins of the TRS. The resistance should be 522.2 ohms. If the resistance is not correct,
replace the TRS.
8. With the manual lever in the REVERSE position (the REVERSE position is with the manual lever
moved one detent forward of the full rearward
position), measure the resistance between the Transmission Range Sensor MUX and the
Transmission Range Sensor 5V Supply pins of the TRS. The resistance should be 206.2 ohms. If
the resistance is not correct, replace the TRS.
9. With the manual lever in the NEUTRAL position (the NEUTRAL position is with the manual lever
moved two detents forward of the full
rearward position), measure the resistance between the Transmission Range Sensor MUX and the
Transmission Range Sensor 5V Supply pins of the TRS. The resistance should be 108.6 ohms. If
the resistance is not correct, replace the TRS.
10. With the manual lever in the DRIVE position (the DRIVE position is with the manual lever
moved three detents forward of the full rearward
position), measure the resistance between the Transmission Range Sensor MUX and the
Transmission Range Sensor 5V Supply pins of the TRS. The resistance should be 59.9 ohms. If
the resistance is not correct, replace the TRS.
11. With the manual lever in the SECOND position (the SECOND position is with the manual lever
moved one detent rearward of the full forward
position), measure the resistance between the Transmission Range Sensor MUX and the Back-up
Lamp feed pins of the TRS. The resistance should be 31.9 ohms. If the resistance is not correct,
replace the TRS.
12. With the manual lever in the LOW position (the LOW position is with the manual lever moved to
the full forward position), measure the resistance
between the Transmission Range Sensor MUX and the Back-up Lamp feed pins of the TRS. The
resistance should be 13.7 ohms. If the resistance is not correct, replace the TRS.

Transmission Speed Sensor: Description and Operation 42RLE Automatic Transmission
Description
DESCRIPTION
The Input (1) and Output (2) Speed Sensors are two-wire magnetic pickup devices that generate
AC signals as rotation occurs. They are mounted in the left side of the transmission case and are
considered primary inputs to the Transmission Control Module (TCM).
Operation
OPERATION
The Input Speed Sensor provides information on how fast the input shaft is rotating. As the teeth of
the input clutch hub pass by the sensor coil, an AC voltage is generated and sent to the TCM. The
TCM interprets this information as input shaft rpm.
The Output Speed Sensor generates an AC signal in a similar fashion, though its coil is excited by
rotation of the rear planetary carrier lugs. The TCM interprets this information as output shaft rpm.
The TCM compares the input and output speed signals to determine the following:
- Transmission gear ratio
- Speed ratio error detection
- CVI calculation
The TCM also compares the input speed signal and the engine speed signal to determine the
following:
- Torque converter clutch slippage
- Torque converter element speed ratio

Transmission
Description
DESCRIPTION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) is part of the solenoid module, which is mounted to the top
of the valve body inside the transmission.
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) has five switch contact pins that:
- Determine shift lever position
- Supply ground to the Starter Relay in Park and Neutral only.
- Supply +12 V to the backup lamps in Reverse only.
The TRS also has an integrated temperature sensor (thermistor) that communicates transmission
temperature to the TCM and PCM.
Operation
OPERATION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) communicates shift lever position to the TCM as a
combination of open and closed switches. Each shift lever position has an assigned combination of
switch states (open/closed) that the TCM receives from four sense circuits. The TCM interprets this
information and determines the appropriate transmission gear position and shift schedule.
There are many possible combinations of open and closed switches (codes). Seven of these
possible codes are related to gear position and five are recognized as "between gear" codes. This
results in many codes which should never occur. These are called "invalid" codes. An invalid code
will result in a DTC, and the TCM will then determine the shift lever position based on pressure
switch data. This allows reasonably normal transmission operation with a TRS failure.

Four Wheel Drive Selector Switch: Description and Operation NV243 Transfer Case
Description
DESCRIPTION
The selector switch assembly is mounted in the left side of the vehicle's Instrument Panel (IP) and
consists of a rotary knob connected to a resistive network for the mode and range shift selections.
Also located in this assembly is a recessed, normally open momentary switch for making shifts into
and out of transfer case NEUTRAL. A pen, or similar instrument, is used to make a NEUTRAL shift
selection, thus reducing the likelihood of an inadvertent shift request.
The selector switch also contains four light emitting diode's (LED's) to indicate the transfer case
position and whether a shift is in progress.
Operation
OPERATION
As the position of the selector switch varies, the resistance between the Mode Sensor supply
voltage pin and the Mode Sensor output will vary. Hardware, software, and calibrations within the
Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM) are provided that interpret the selector switch resistance as
given in the table below:
For resistances between the ranges B-E shown for each valid position (T-Case NEUTRAL, 4LO,
4HI, 2WD), the TCCM may interpret the resistance as:
- either of the neighboring valid positions.
- as an invalid fault position.
For resistances between the ranges E and F shown for 2WD and in-between positions, the TCCM
may interpret the resistance as:
- the 2WD position.
- an invalid fault position.
- a valid in-between position.
For resistances between the ranges F and G shown for in-between positions and fault condition
(open), the TCCM may interpret the resistance as:

- an invalid fault position.
For resistances between the ranges A and B shown for the fault condition (short) and T-Case
NEUTRAL, the TCCM may interpret the resistance as:
- the T-Case NEUTRAL position.
- an invalid fault position.
The LED's in the selector assembly are illuminated/flashed in the following manner to indicate a
particular condition or state.
- A solidly illuminated LED indicates a successfully completed shift and the current operating mode
of the transfer case. While a shift has been requested but not yet completed, the LED for the
desired transfer case position is flashed.
- A flashing operating mode LED for the desired gear indicates that a shift to that position has been
requested, but all of the driver controllable conditions have not been met. This is in an attempt to
notify the driver that the transmission needs to be put into NEUTRAL, the vehicle speed is too
great, or some other condition outlined (other than a diagnostic failure that would prevent this shift)
elsewhere See: Relays and Modules - Transmission and Drivetrain/Relays and Modules - Transfer
Case/Control Module/Description and Operation/Operation is not met. Note that this flashing will
continue indefinitely until the conditions are eventually met, or the selector switch position is
changed, or if diagnostic routines no longer allow the requested shift.
- If the driver attempts to make a shift into transfer case NEUTRAL, and any of the driver
controllable conditions are not met, the request will be ignored until all of the conditions are met or
until the NEUTRAL select button is released. Additionally the neutral lamp will flash, or begin to
flash while the button is depressed and operator controllable conditions are not being met. All of
the LED's except the Neutral will flash if any of the operator controllable conditions for shifting are
not met while the Neutral button is depressed. This "toggle" type of feature is necessary because
the TCCM would interpret another request immediately after the shift into transfer case NEUTRAL
has completed.
- No LED's illuminated indicate a fault in the transfer case control system.

For resistances between the ranges F and G shown for in-between positions and fault condition
(open), the TCCM may interpret the resistance as:

- a valid in-between position.
- an invalid fault position.
For resistances between the ranges A and B shown for the fault condition (short) and T-Case
NEUTRAL, the TCCM may interpret the resistance as:
- the T-Case NEUTRAL position.
- an invalid fault position.
The LED's in the selector assembly are illuminated/flashed in the following manner to indicate a
particular condition or state.
- A solidly illuminated LED indicates a successfully completed shift and the current operating mode
of the transfer case. While a shift has been requested but not yet completed, the LED for the
desired transfer case position is flashed.
- A flashing operating mode LED for the desired gear indicates that a shift to that position has been
requested, but all of the driver controllable conditions have not been met. This is in an attempt to
notify the driver that the transmission needs to be put into NEUTRAL, the vehicle speed is too
great, or some other condition outlined (other than a diagnostic failure that would prevent this shift)
elsewhere See: Relays and Modules - Transmission and Drivetrain/Relays and Modules - Transfer
Case/Control Module/Description and Operation/Operation is not met. Note that this flashing will
continue indefinitely until the conditions are eventually met, or the selector switch position is
changed, or if diagnostic routines no longer allow the requested shift.
- If the driver attempts to make a shift into transfer case NEUTRAL, and any of the driver
controllable conditions are not met, the request will be ignored until all of the conditions are met or
until the NEUTRAL select button is released. Additionally the neutral lamp will flash, or begin to
flash while the button is depressed and operator controllable conditions are not being met. All of
the LED's except the Neutral will flash if any of the operator controllable conditions for shifting are
not met while the Neutral button is depressed. This "toggle" type of feature is necessary because
the TCCM would interpret another request immediately after the shift into transfer case NEUTRAL
has completed.
- No LED's illuminated indicate a fault in the transfer case control system.

Description
DESCRIPTION
The transfer case mode sensor is an electronic device whose output can be interpreted to indicate
the shift motor shaft's rotary position. The sensor consists of a magnetic ring and four Hall Effect
Transistors to create a 4 channel digital device (non-contacting) whose output converts the motor
shaft position into a coded signal. The TCCM must supply 5VDC (+/- 0.5v) to the sensor and
monitor the shift motor position. The four channels are denoted A, B, C, and D. The sensor is
mechanically linked to the shaft of the cam which causes the transfer case shifting. The mode
sensor draws less than 53 mA.
Operation
OPERATION
During normal vehicle operation, the Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM) monitors the mode
sensor outputs at least every 250 (+/-50) milliseconds when the shift motor is stationary and 400
microseconds when the shift motor is active. A mode sensor signal between 3.8 Volts and 0.8 Volts
is considered to be undefined.
Refer to SECTOR ANGLES vs.TRANSFER CASE POSITION for the relative angles of the transfer
case shift sector versus the interpreted transfer case gear operating mode. Refer to MODE
SENSOR CHANNEL STATES for the sensor codes returned to the TCCM for each transfer case
mode sensor position. The various between gears positions can also be referred as the transfer
case's coarse position. These coarse positions come into play during shift attempts.

Description
DESCRIPTION
The transfer case position sensor is an electronic device whose output can be interpreted to
indicate the transfer case's current operating mode. The sensor consists of a five position, resistive
multiplexed circuit which returns a specific resistance value to the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) for each transfer case operating mode. The sensor is located on the top of the transfer
case, just left of the transfer case centerline and rides against the sector plate roostercomb. The
PCM supplies 5VDC (+/- 0.5V) to the sensor and monitors the return voltage to determine the
sector plate, and therefore the transfer case, position.
Operation
OPERATION
Position Sensor Linear Movement
During normal vehicle operation, the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitors the transfer case
position sensor return voltage to determine the operating mode of the transfer case. Refer to the
Operating Mode Versus Resistance table for the correct resistance for each position.

Overdrive Solenoid: Description and Operation 42RLE Automatic Transmission
Description
DESCRIPTION
The Solenoid/Pressure Switch Assembly (1) is inside the transmission and mounted to the valve
body assembly. The assembly consists of four solenoids that control hydraulic pressure to the L/R,
2/4, OD, and UD friction elements (transmission clutches), and the torque converter clutch. The
reverse clutch is controlled by line pressure from the manual valve in the valve body. The solenoids
are contained within the Solenoid/Pressure Switch Assembly, and can only be serviced by
replacing the assembly.
The solenoid assembly also contains pressure switches that monitor and send hydraulic circuit
information to the TCM. Likewise, the pressure switches can only be service by replacing the
assembly.
Operation
OPERATION
SOLENOIDS
The solenoids receive electrical power from the Transmission Control Relay through a single wire.
The TCM energizes or operates the solenoids individually by grounding the return wire of the
solenoid needed. When a solenoid is energized, the solenoid valve shifts, and a fluid passage is
opened or closed (vented or applied), depending on its default operating state. The result is an
apply or release of a frictional element.
The 2/4 and UD solenoids are normally applied, which allows fluid to pass through in their relaxed
or "off" state. By design, this allows transmission limp-in (P,R,N,2) in the event of an electrical
failure.
The continuity of the solenoids and circuits are periodically tested. Each solenoid is turned on or off
depending on its current state. An inductive spike should be detected by the TCM during this test. If
no spike is detected, the circuit is tested again to verify the failure. In addition to the periodic
testing, the solenoid circuits are tested if a speed ratio or pressure switch error occurs.
PRESSURE SWITCHES
The TCM relies on three pressure switches to monitor fluid pressure in the L/R, 2/4, and OD
hydraulic circuits. The primary purpose of these switches is to help the TCM detect when clutch
circuit hydraulic failures occur. The range for the pressure switch closing and opening points is
11-23 psi. Typically the switch opening point will be approximately one psi lower than the closing
point. For example, a switch may close at 18 psi and open at 17 psi. The switches are continuously
monitored by the TCM for the correct states (open or closed) in each gear as shown in the
following chart:

Actuators and Solenoids - A/T > Overdrive Solenoid, A/T > Component Information > Description and Operation > 42RLE
Automatic Transmission > Page 6411
A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set if the TCM senses any switch open or closed at the
wrong time in a given gear.
The TCM also tests the 2/4 and OD pressure switches when they are normally off (OD and 2/4 are
tested in 1st gear, OD in 2nd gear, and 2/4 in 3rd gear). The test simply verifies that they are
operational, by looking for a closed state when the corresponding element is applied. Immediately
after a shift into 1st, 2nd, or 3rd gear with the engine speed above 1000 rpm, the TCM momentarily
turns on element pressure to the 2/4 and/or OD clutch circuits to identify that the appropriate switch
has closed. If it doesn't close, it is tested again. If the switch fails to close the second time, the
appropriate Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set.

Description
DESCRIPTION
The transmission solenoid/TRS assembly is internal to the transmission and mounted on the valve
body assembly. The assembly consists of six solenoids that control hydraulic pressure to the six
friction elements (transmission clutches), and the torque converter clutch. The pressure control
solenoid is located on the side of the solenoid/TRS assembly. The solenoid/TRS assembly also
contains the Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) and five pressure switches that feed information to
the TCM.
Operation
OPERATION
SOLENOIDS
Solenoids are used to control the L/R, 2C, 4C, OD, and UD friction elements. The reverse clutch is
controlled by line pressure and the position of the manual valve in the valve body. All the solenoids
are contained within the Solenoid and Pressure Switch Assembly. The solenoid and pressure
switch assembly contains one additional solenoid, Multi-Select (MS), which serves primarily to
provide 2nd and 3rd gear limp-in operation.
The solenoids receive electrical power from the Transmission Control Relay through a single wire.
The TCM energizes or operates the solenoids individually by grounding the return wire of the
solenoid as necessary. When a solenoid is energized, the solenoid valve shifts, and a fluid
passage is opened or closed (vented or applied), depending on its default operating state. The
result is an apply or release of a frictional element.
The MS and UD solenoids are normally applied to allow transmission limp-in in the event of an
electrical failure.
The continuity of the solenoids and circuits are periodically tested. Each solenoid is turned on or off
depending on its current state. An inductive spike should be detected by the TCM during this test. If
no spike is detected, the circuit is tested again to verify the failure. In addition to the periodic

PRESSURE SWITCHES
The TCM relies on five pressure switches to monitor fluid pressure in the L/R, 2C, 4C, UD, and OD
hydraulic circuits. The primary purpose of these switches is to help the TCM detect when clutch
circuit hydraulic failures occur. The switches close at 23 psi and open at 11 psi, and simply indicate
whether or not pressure exists. The switches are continuously monitored by the TCM for the
correct states (open or closed) in each gear as shown in the following charts and 545RFE

Pressure Regulating Solenoid: Description and Operation 42RLE Automatic Transmission
Description
DESCRIPTION
The pressure control solenoid (1) is mounted on the top of the valve body, next to the line pressure
sensor (2).
The TCM utilizes a closed-loop system to control transmission line pressure. The system contains
a variable force style solenoid, the Pressure Control Solenoid. The solenoid is duty cycle controlled
by the TCM to vent the unnecessary line pressure supplied by the oil pump back to the sump. The
system also contains a variable pressure style sensor, the Line Pressure Sensor, which is a direct
input to the TCM. The line pressure solenoid monitors the transmission line pressure and
completes the feedback loop to the TCM. The TCM uses this information to adjust its control of the
pressure control solenoid to achieve the desired line pressure.
Operation
OPERATION
The pressure control solenoid (PCS) is a variable force (VFS) style solenoid. A VFS solenoid is an
electro-hydraulic actuator, combining a solenoid and a regulating valve.
The transmission control module varies the current for the PCS, which varies the pressure in the
line pressure hydraulic circuit. When the current (duty cycle) of the PCS is low, the pressure in the
circuit is higher. At 0 current (0% duty cycle), the pressure is at the maximum value. Conversely,
when the current is maximized (100% duty cycle), the pressure in the circuit is at the lowest
possible value.

The Solenoid/Pressure Switch Assembly (1) is inside the transmission and mounted to the valve
body assembly. The assembly consists of four solenoids that control hydraulic pressure to the L/R,
2/4, OD, and UD friction elements (transmission clutches), and the torque converter clutch. The
reverse clutch is controlled by line pressure from the manual valve in the valve body. The solenoids
are contained within the Solenoid/Pressure Switch Assembly, and can only be serviced by
replacing the assembly.
The solenoid assembly also contains pressure switches that monitor and send hydraulic circuit
information to the TCM. Likewise, the pressure switches can only be service by replacing the
assembly.
Operation
OPERATION
SOLENOIDS
The solenoids receive electrical power from the Transmission Control Relay through a single wire.
The TCM energizes or operates the solenoids individually by grounding the return wire of the
solenoid needed. When a solenoid is energized, the solenoid valve shifts, and a fluid passage is
opened or closed (vented or applied), depending on its default operating state. The result is an
apply or release of a frictional element.
The 2/4 and UD solenoids are normally applied, which allows fluid to pass through in their relaxed
or "off" state. By design, this allows transmission limp-in (P,R,N,2) in the event of an electrical
failure.
The continuity of the solenoids and circuits are periodically tested. Each solenoid is turned on or off
depending on its current state. An inductive spike should be detected by the TCM during this test. If
no spike is detected, the circuit is tested again to verify the failure. In addition to the periodic
testing, the solenoid circuits are tested if a speed ratio or pressure switch error occurs.
PRESSURE SWITCHES
The TCM relies on three pressure switches to monitor fluid pressure in the L/R, 2/4, and OD
hydraulic circuits. The primary purpose of these switches is to help the TCM detect when clutch
circuit hydraulic failures occur. The range for the pressure switch closing and opening points is
11-23 psi. Typically the switch opening point will be approximately one psi lower than the closing
point. For example, a switch may close at 18 psi and open at 17 psi. The switches are continuously
monitored by the TCM for the correct states (open or closed) in each gear as shown in the
following chart:

Actuators and Solenoids - A/T > Pressure Regulating Solenoid, A/T > Component Information > Description and Operation
> 42RLE Automatic Transmission > Page 6468
A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set if the TCM senses any switch open or closed at the
wrong time in a given gear.
The TCM also tests the 2/4 and OD pressure switches when they are normally off (OD and 2/4 are
tested in 1st gear, OD in 2nd gear, and 2/4 in 3rd gear). The test simply verifies that they are
operational, by looking for a closed state when the corresponding element is applied. Immediately
after a shift into 1st, 2nd, or 3rd gear with the engine speed above 1000 rpm, the TCM momentarily
turns on element pressure to the 2/4 and/or OD clutch circuits to identify that the appropriate switch
has closed. If it doesn't close, it is tested again. If the switch fails to close the second time, the
appropriate Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set.

Description
DESCRIPTION
The transmission solenoid/TRS assembly is internal to the transmission and mounted on the valve
body assembly. The assembly consists of six solenoids that control hydraulic pressure to the six
friction elements (transmission clutches), and the torque converter clutch. The pressure control
solenoid is located on the side of the solenoid/TRS assembly. The solenoid/TRS assembly also
contains the Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) and five pressure switches that feed information to
the TCM.
Operation
OPERATION
SOLENOIDS
Solenoids are used to control the L/R, 2C, 4C, OD, and UD friction elements. The reverse clutch is
controlled by line pressure and the position of the manual valve in the valve body. All the solenoids
are contained within the Solenoid and Pressure Switch Assembly. The solenoid and pressure
switch assembly contains one additional solenoid, Multi-Select (MS), which serves primarily to
provide 2nd and 3rd gear limp-in operation.
The solenoids receive electrical power from the Transmission Control Relay through a single wire.
The TCM energizes or operates the solenoids individually by grounding the return wire of the
solenoid as necessary. When a solenoid is energized, the solenoid valve shifts, and a fluid
passage is opened or closed (vented or applied), depending on its default operating state. The
result is an apply or release of a frictional element.
The MS and UD solenoids are normally applied to allow transmission limp-in in the event of an
electrical failure.
The continuity of the solenoids and circuits are periodically tested. Each solenoid is turned on or off
depending on its current state. An inductive spike should be detected by the TCM during this test. If
no spike is detected, the circuit is tested again to verify the failure. In addition to the periodic

PRESSURE SWITCHES
The TCM relies on five pressure switches to monitor fluid pressure in the L/R, 2C, 4C, UD, and OD
hydraulic circuits. The primary purpose of these switches is to help the TCM detect when clutch
circuit hydraulic failures occur. The switches close at 23 psi and open at 11 psi, and simply indicate
whether or not pressure exists. The switches are continuously monitored by the TCM for the
correct states (open or closed) in each gear as shown in the following charts and 545RFE

Description
DESCRIPTION
The Solenoid/Pressure Switch Assembly (1) is inside the transmission and mounted to the valve
body assembly. The assembly consists of four solenoids that control hydraulic pressure to the L/R,
2/4, OD, and UD friction elements (transmission clutches), and the torque converter clutch. The
reverse clutch is controlled by line pressure from the manual valve in the valve body. The solenoids
are contained within the Solenoid/Pressure Switch Assembly, and can only be serviced by
replacing the assembly.
The solenoid assembly also contains pressure switches that monitor and send hydraulic circuit
information to the TCM. Likewise, the pressure switches can only be service by replacing the
assembly.
Operation
OPERATION
SOLENOIDS
The solenoids receive electrical power from the Transmission Control Relay through a single wire.
The TCM energizes or operates the solenoids individually by grounding the return wire of the
solenoid needed. When a solenoid is energized, the solenoid valve shifts, and a fluid passage is
opened or closed (vented or applied), depending on its default operating state. The result is an
apply or release of a frictional element.
The 2/4 and UD solenoids are normally applied, which allows fluid to pass through in their relaxed
or "off" state. By design, this allows transmission limp-in (P,R,N,2) in the event of an electrical
failure.
The continuity of the solenoids and circuits are periodically tested. Each solenoid is turned on or off
depending on its current state. An inductive spike should be detected by the TCM during this test. If
no spike is detected, the circuit is tested again to verify the failure. In addition to the periodic
testing, the solenoid circuits are tested if a speed ratio or pressure switch error occurs.
PRESSURE SWITCHES
The TCM relies on three pressure switches to monitor fluid pressure in the L/R, 2/4, and OD
hydraulic circuits. The primary purpose of these switches is to help the TCM detect when clutch
circuit hydraulic failures occur. The range for the pressure switch closing and opening points is
11-23 psi. Typically the switch opening point will be approximately one psi lower than the closing
point. For example, a switch may close at 18 psi and open at 17 psi. The switches are continuously
monitored by the TCM for the correct states (open or closed) in each gear as shown in the
following chart:

Actuators and Solenoids - A/T > Shift Solenoid, A/T > Component Information > Description and Operation > 42RLE
Automatic Transmission > Page 6529
A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set if the TCM senses any switch open or closed at the
wrong time in a given gear.
The TCM also tests the 2/4 and OD pressure switches when they are normally off (OD and 2/4 are
tested in 1st gear, OD in 2nd gear, and 2/4 in 3rd gear). The test simply verifies that they are
operational, by looking for a closed state when the corresponding element is applied. Immediately
after a shift into 1st, 2nd, or 3rd gear with the engine speed above 1000 rpm, the TCM momentarily
turns on element pressure to the 2/4 and/or OD clutch circuits to identify that the appropriate switch
has closed. If it doesn't close, it is tested again. If the switch fails to close the second time, the
appropriate Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set.

DESCRIPTION
The transmission solenoid/TRS assembly is internal to the transmission and mounted on the valve
body assembly. The assembly consists of six solenoids that control hydraulic pressure to the six
friction elements (transmission clutches), and the torque converter clutch. The pressure control
solenoid is located on the side of the solenoid/TRS assembly. The solenoid/TRS assembly also
contains the Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) and five pressure switches that feed information to
the TCM.
Operation
OPERATION
SOLENOIDS
Solenoids are used to control the L/R, 2C, 4C, OD, and UD friction elements. The reverse clutch is
controlled by line pressure and the position of the manual valve in the valve body. All the solenoids
are contained within the Solenoid and Pressure Switch Assembly. The solenoid and pressure
switch assembly contains one additional solenoid, Multi-Select (MS), which serves primarily to
provide 2nd and 3rd gear limp-in operation.
The solenoids receive electrical power from the Transmission Control Relay through a single wire.
The TCM energizes or operates the solenoids individually by grounding the return wire of the
solenoid as necessary. When a solenoid is energized, the solenoid valve shifts, and a fluid
passage is opened or closed (vented or applied), depending on its default operating state. The
result is an apply or release of a frictional element.
The MS and UD solenoids are normally applied to allow transmission limp-in in the event of an
electrical failure.
The continuity of the solenoids and circuits are periodically tested. Each solenoid is turned on or off
depending on its current state. An inductive spike should be detected by the TCM during this test. If
no spike is detected, the circuit is tested again to verify the failure. In addition to the periodic
testing, the solenoid circuits are tested if a speed ratio or pressure switch error occurs.
PRESSURE SWITCHES
The TCM relies on five pressure switches to monitor fluid pressure in the L/R, 2C, 4C, UD, and OD
hydraulic circuits. The primary purpose of these switches is to help the TCM detect when clutch
circuit hydraulic failures occur. The switches close at 23 psi and open at 11 psi, and simply indicate
whether or not pressure exists. The switches are continuously monitored by the TCM for the
correct states (open or closed) in each gear as shown in the following charts and 545RFE

Throttle Valve Solenoid: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION
On vehicles equipped with a Cummins diesel engine, the transmission throttle valve cable has
been replace by the transmission throttle valve actuator (TTVA). The TTVA consists of an electric
DC motor, two potentiometers, and a gear drive system. The TTVA is mechanically connected to
the transmission throttle valve in the valve body by the "D" shaped opening in the bottom of the
TTVA shaft. Changes in the TTVA position are therefore transferred to the throttle valve and cause
changes in the transmission throttle pressure.

Throttle Valve Solenoid: Adjustments
ADJUSTMENT
The Transmission Throttle Valve Actuator (TTVA) does not require any mechanical adjustments.
All changes in throttle valve position are controlled by the Engine Control Module (ECM).
The TTVA does require an initialization period after the actuator has been removed or replaced.
After the actuator has been removed or replaced, move the ignition to the ON position for thirty (30)
seconds. This will allow the ECM sufficient time to perform the internal calibration procedures to
learn the TTVA's current "zero" position. Once this is done, check the ECM for diagnostic trouble
codes (DTCs). If no DTCs are set relating to the TTVA, the TTVA is fully calibrated and ready for
use.

Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid: Description and Operation 42RLE Automatic Transmission
Description
DESCRIPTION
The Solenoid/Pressure Switch Assembly (1) is inside the transmission and mounted to the valve
body assembly. The assembly consists of four solenoids that control hydraulic pressure to the L/R,
2/4, OD, and UD friction elements (transmission clutches), and the torque converter clutch. The
reverse clutch is controlled by line pressure from the manual valve in the valve body. The solenoids
are contained within the Solenoid/Pressure Switch Assembly, and can only be serviced by
replacing the assembly.
The solenoid assembly also contains pressure switches that monitor and send hydraulic circuit
information to the TCM. Likewise, the pressure switches can only be service by replacing the
assembly.
Operation
OPERATION
SOLENOIDS
The solenoids receive electrical power from the Transmission Control Relay through a single wire.
The TCM energizes or operates the solenoids individually by grounding the return wire of the
solenoid needed. When a solenoid is energized, the solenoid valve shifts, and a fluid passage is
opened or closed (vented or applied), depending on its default operating state. The result is an
apply or release of a frictional element.
The 2/4 and UD solenoids are normally applied, which allows fluid to pass through in their relaxed
or "off" state. By design, this allows transmission limp-in (P,R,N,2) in the event of an electrical
failure.
The continuity of the solenoids and circuits are periodically tested. Each solenoid is turned on or off
depending on its current state. An inductive spike should be detected by the TCM during this test. If
no spike is detected, the circuit is tested again to verify the failure. In addition to the periodic
testing, the solenoid circuits are tested if a speed ratio or pressure switch error occurs.
PRESSURE SWITCHES
The TCM relies on three pressure switches to monitor fluid pressure in the L/R, 2/4, and OD
hydraulic circuits. The primary purpose of these switches is to help the TCM detect when clutch
circuit hydraulic failures occur. The range for the pressure switch closing and opening points is
11-23 psi. Typically the switch opening point will be approximately one psi lower than the closing
point. For example, a switch may close at 18 psi and open at 17 psi. The switches are continuously
monitored by the TCM for the correct states (open or closed) in each gear as shown in the
following chart:
Dodge Ram 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (Truck V8-4.7L (2008))

Actuators and Solenoids - A/T > Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid, A/T > Component Information > Description and
Operation > 42RLE Automatic Transmission > Page 6552
A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set if the TCM senses any switch open or closed at the
wrong time in a given gear.
The TCM also tests the 2/4 and OD pressure switches when they are normally off (OD and 2/4 are
tested in 1st gear, OD in 2nd gear, and 2/4 in 3rd gear). The test simply verifies that they are
operational, by looking for a closed state when the corresponding element is applied. Immediately
after a shift into 1st, 2nd, or 3rd gear with the engine speed above 1000 rpm, the TCM momentarily
turns on element pressure to the 2/4 and/or OD clutch circuits to identify that the appropriate switch
has closed. If it doesn't close, it is tested again. If the switch fails to close the second time, the
appropriate Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set.

Description
DESCRIPTION
The transmission solenoid/TRS assembly is internal to the transmission and mounted on the valve
body assembly. The assembly consists of six solenoids that control hydraulic pressure to the six
friction elements (transmission clutches), and the torque converter clutch. The pressure control
solenoid is located on the side of the solenoid/TRS assembly. The solenoid/TRS assembly also
contains the Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) and five pressure switches that feed information to
the TCM.
Operation
OPERATION
SOLENOIDS
Solenoids are used to control the L/R, 2C, 4C, OD, and UD friction elements. The reverse clutch is
controlled by line pressure and the position of the manual valve in the valve body. All the solenoids
are contained within the Solenoid and Pressure Switch Assembly. The solenoid and pressure
switch assembly contains one additional solenoid, Multi-Select (MS), which serves primarily to
provide 2nd and 3rd gear limp-in operation.
The solenoids receive electrical power from the Transmission Control Relay through a single wire.
The TCM energizes or operates the solenoids individually by grounding the return wire of the
solenoid as necessary. When a solenoid is energized, the solenoid valve shifts, and a fluid
passage is opened or closed (vented or applied), depending on its default operating state. The
result is an apply or release of a frictional element.
The MS and UD solenoids are normally applied to allow transmission limp-in in the event of an
electrical failure.
The continuity of the solenoids and circuits are periodically tested. Each solenoid is turned on or off
depending on its current state. An inductive spike should be detected by the TCM during this test. If
no spike is detected, the circuit is tested again to verify the failure. In addition to the periodic

circuit hydraulic failures occur. The switches close at 23 psi and open at 11 psi, and simply indicate
whether or not pressure exists. The switches are continuously monitored by the TCM for the
correct states (open or closed) in each gear as shown in the following charts and 545RFE

Overdrive Solenoid: Description and Operation 42RLE Automatic Transmission
Description
DESCRIPTION
The Solenoid/Pressure Switch Assembly (1) is inside the transmission and mounted to the valve
body assembly. The assembly consists of four solenoids that control hydraulic pressure to the L/R,
2/4, OD, and UD friction elements (transmission clutches), and the torque converter clutch. The
reverse clutch is controlled by line pressure from the manual valve in the valve body. The solenoids
are contained within the Solenoid/Pressure Switch Assembly, and can only be serviced by
replacing the assembly.
The solenoid assembly also contains pressure switches that monitor and send hydraulic circuit
information to the TCM. Likewise, the pressure switches can only be service by replacing the
assembly.
Operation
OPERATION
SOLENOIDS
The solenoids receive electrical power from the Transmission Control Relay through a single wire.
The TCM energizes or operates the solenoids individually by grounding the return wire of the
solenoid needed. When a solenoid is energized, the solenoid valve shifts, and a fluid passage is
opened or closed (vented or applied), depending on its default operating state. The result is an
apply or release of a frictional element.
The 2/4 and UD solenoids are normally applied, which allows fluid to pass through in their relaxed
or "off" state. By design, this allows transmission limp-in (P,R,N,2) in the event of an electrical
failure.
The continuity of the solenoids and circuits are periodically tested. Each solenoid is turned on or off
depending on its current state. An inductive spike should be detected by the TCM during this test. If
no spike is detected, the circuit is tested again to verify the failure. In addition to the periodic
testing, the solenoid circuits are tested if a speed ratio or pressure switch error occurs.
PRESSURE SWITCHES
The TCM relies on three pressure switches to monitor fluid pressure in the L/R, 2/4, and OD
hydraulic circuits. The primary purpose of these switches is to help the TCM detect when clutch
circuit hydraulic failures occur. The range for the pressure switch closing and opening points is
11-23 psi. Typically the switch opening point will be approximately one psi lower than the closing
point. For example, a switch may close at 18 psi and open at 17 psi. The switches are continuously
monitored by the TCM for the correct states (open or closed) in each gear as shown in the
following chart:

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Actuators and Solenoids A/T > Overdrive Solenoid, A/T > Component Information > Description and Operation > 42RLE Automatic Transmission >
Page 6624
A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set if the TCM senses any switch open or closed at the
wrong time in a given gear.
The TCM also tests the 2/4 and OD pressure switches when they are normally off (OD and 2/4 are
tested in 1st gear, OD in 2nd gear, and 2/4 in 3rd gear). The test simply verifies that they are
operational, by looking for a closed state when the corresponding element is applied. Immediately
after a shift into 1st, 2nd, or 3rd gear with the engine speed above 1000 rpm, the TCM momentarily
turns on element pressure to the 2/4 and/or OD clutch circuits to identify that the appropriate switch
has closed. If it doesn't close, it is tested again. If the switch fails to close the second time, the
appropriate Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set.

Description
DESCRIPTION
The transmission solenoid/TRS assembly is internal to the transmission and mounted on the valve
body assembly. The assembly consists of six solenoids that control hydraulic pressure to the six
friction elements (transmission clutches), and the torque converter clutch. The pressure control
solenoid is located on the side of the solenoid/TRS assembly. The solenoid/TRS assembly also
contains the Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) and five pressure switches that feed information to
the TCM.
Operation
OPERATION
SOLENOIDS
Solenoids are used to control the L/R, 2C, 4C, OD, and UD friction elements. The reverse clutch is
controlled by line pressure and the position of the manual valve in the valve body. All the solenoids
are contained within the Solenoid and Pressure Switch Assembly. The solenoid and pressure
switch assembly contains one additional solenoid, Multi-Select (MS), which serves primarily to
provide 2nd and 3rd gear limp-in operation.
The solenoids receive electrical power from the Transmission Control Relay through a single wire.
The TCM energizes or operates the solenoids individually by grounding the return wire of the
solenoid as necessary. When a solenoid is energized, the solenoid valve shifts, and a fluid
passage is opened or closed (vented or applied), depending on its default operating state. The
result is an apply or release of a frictional element.
The MS and UD solenoids are normally applied to allow transmission limp-in in the event of an
electrical failure.
The continuity of the solenoids and circuits are periodically tested. Each solenoid is turned on or off
depending on its current state. An inductive spike should be detected by the TCM during this test. If
no spike is detected, the circuit is tested again to verify the failure. In addition to the periodic
testing, the solenoid circuits are tested if a speed ratio or pressure switch error occurs.
PRESSURE SWITCHES
The TCM relies on five pressure switches to monitor fluid pressure in the L/R, 2C, 4C, UD, and OD
hydraulic circuits. The primary purpose of these switches is to help the TCM detect when clutch
circuit hydraulic failures occur. The switches close at 23 psi and open at 11 psi, and simply indicate
whether or not pressure exists. The switches are continuously monitored by the TCM for the
correct states (open or closed) in each gear as shown in the following charts and 545RFE

The TCM energizes or operates the solenoids individually by grounding the return wire of the
solenoid as necessary. When a solenoid is energized, the solenoid valve shifts, and a fluid
passage is opened or closed (vented or applied), depending on its default operating state. The
result is an apply or release of a frictional element.
The MS and UD solenoids are normally applied to allow transmission limp-in in the event of an
electrical failure.
The continuity of the solenoids and circuits are periodically tested. Each solenoid is turned on or off
depending on its current state. An inductive spike should be detected by the TCM during this test. If
no spike is detected, the circuit is tested again to verify the failure. In addition to the periodic
testing, the solenoid circuits are tested if a speed ratio or pressure switch error occurs.
PRESSURE SWITCHES
The TCM relies on five pressure switches to monitor fluid pressure in the L/R, 2C, 4C, UD, and OD
hydraulic circuits. The primary purpose of these switches is to help the TCM detect when clutch
circuit hydraulic failures occur. The switches close at 23 psi and open at 11 psi, and simply indicate
whether or not pressure exists. The switches are continuously monitored by the TCM for the
correct states (open or closed) in each gear as shown in the following charts and

A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set if the TCM senses any switch open or closed at the
wrong time in a given gear.

Pressure Regulating Solenoid: Description and Operation 42RLE Automatic Transmission
Description
DESCRIPTION
The pressure control solenoid (1) is mounted on the top of the valve body, next to the line pressure
sensor (2).
The TCM utilizes a closed-loop system to control transmission line pressure. The system contains
a variable force style solenoid, the Pressure Control Solenoid. The solenoid is duty cycle controlled
by the TCM to vent the unnecessary line pressure supplied by the oil pump back to the sump. The
system also contains a variable pressure style sensor, the Line Pressure Sensor, which is a direct
input to the TCM. The line pressure solenoid monitors the transmission line pressure and
completes the feedback loop to the TCM. The TCM uses this information to adjust its control of the
pressure control solenoid to achieve the desired line pressure.
Operation
OPERATION
The pressure control solenoid (PCS) is a variable force (VFS) style solenoid. A VFS solenoid is an
electro-hydraulic actuator, combining a solenoid and a regulating valve.
The transmission control module varies the current for the PCS, which varies the pressure in the
line pressure hydraulic circuit. When the current (duty cycle) of the PCS is low, the pressure in the
circuit is higher. At 0 current (0% duty cycle), the pressure is at the maximum value. Conversely,
when the current is maximized (100% duty cycle), the pressure in the circuit is at the lowest
possible value.

Transmission > Page 6680
The Solenoid/Pressure Switch Assembly (1) is inside the transmission and mounted to the valve
body assembly. The assembly consists of four solenoids that control hydraulic pressure to the L/R,
2/4, OD, and UD friction elements (transmission clutches), and the torque converter clutch. The
reverse clutch is controlled by line pressure from the manual valve in the valve body. The solenoids
are contained within the Solenoid/Pressure Switch Assembly, and can only be serviced by
replacing the assembly.
The solenoid assembly also contains pressure switches that monitor and send hydraulic circuit
information to the TCM. Likewise, the pressure switches can only be service by replacing the
assembly.
Operation
OPERATION
SOLENOIDS
The solenoids receive electrical power from the Transmission Control Relay through a single wire.
The TCM energizes or operates the solenoids individually by grounding the return wire of the
solenoid needed. When a solenoid is energized, the solenoid valve shifts, and a fluid passage is
opened or closed (vented or applied), depending on its default operating state. The result is an
apply or release of a frictional element.
The 2/4 and UD solenoids are normally applied, which allows fluid to pass through in their relaxed
or "off" state. By design, this allows transmission limp-in (P,R,N,2) in the event of an electrical
failure.
The continuity of the solenoids and circuits are periodically tested. Each solenoid is turned on or off
depending on its current state. An inductive spike should be detected by the TCM during this test. If
no spike is detected, the circuit is tested again to verify the failure. In addition to the periodic
testing, the solenoid circuits are tested if a speed ratio or pressure switch error occurs.
PRESSURE SWITCHES
The TCM relies on three pressure switches to monitor fluid pressure in the L/R, 2/4, and OD
hydraulic circuits. The primary purpose of these switches is to help the TCM detect when clutch
circuit hydraulic failures occur. The range for the pressure switch closing and opening points is
11-23 psi. Typically the switch opening point will be approximately one psi lower than the closing
point. For example, a switch may close at 18 psi and open at 17 psi. The switches are continuously
monitored by the TCM for the correct states (open or closed) in each gear as shown in the
following chart:

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Actuators and Solenoids A/T > Pressure Regulating Solenoid, A/T > Component Information > Description and Operation > 42RLE Automatic
Transmission > Page 6681
A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set if the TCM senses any switch open or closed at the
wrong time in a given gear.
The TCM also tests the 2/4 and OD pressure switches when they are normally off (OD and 2/4 are
tested in 1st gear, OD in 2nd gear, and 2/4 in 3rd gear). The test simply verifies that they are
operational, by looking for a closed state when the corresponding element is applied. Immediately
after a shift into 1st, 2nd, or 3rd gear with the engine speed above 1000 rpm, the TCM momentarily
turns on element pressure to the 2/4 and/or OD clutch circuits to identify that the appropriate switch
has closed. If it doesn't close, it is tested again. If the switch fails to close the second time, the
appropriate Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set.

Operation
OPERATION
SOLENOIDS
Solenoids are used to control the L/R, 2C, 4C, OD, and UD friction elements. The reverse clutch is
controlled by line pressure and the position of the manual valve in the valve body. All the solenoids
are contained within the Solenoid and Pressure Switch Assembly. The solenoid and pressure
switch assembly contains one additional solenoid, Multi-Select (MS), which serves primarily to
provide 2nd and 3rd gear limp-in operation.
The solenoids receive electrical power from the Transmission Control Relay through a single wire.
The TCM energizes or operates the solenoids individually by grounding the return wire of the
solenoid as necessary. When a solenoid is energized, the solenoid valve shifts, and a fluid
passage is opened or closed (vented or applied), depending on its default operating state. The
result is an apply or release of a frictional element.
The MS and UD solenoids are normally applied to allow transmission limp-in in the event of an
electrical failure.
The continuity of the solenoids and circuits are periodically tested. Each solenoid is turned on or off
depending on its current state. An inductive spike should be detected by the TCM during this test. If
no spike is detected, the circuit is tested again to verify the failure. In addition to the periodic

The TCM relies on five pressure switches to monitor fluid pressure in the L/R, 2C, 4C, UD, and OD
hydraulic circuits. The primary purpose of these switches is to help the TCM detect when clutch
circuit hydraulic failures occur. The switches close at 23 psi and open at 11 psi, and simply indicate
whether or not pressure exists. The switches are continuously monitored by the TCM for the
correct states (open or closed) in each gear as shown in the following charts and 545RFE

Shift Solenoid: Description and Operation 42RLE Automatic Transmission
Description
DESCRIPTION
The Solenoid/Pressure Switch Assembly (1) is inside the transmission and mounted to the valve
body assembly. The assembly consists of four solenoids that control hydraulic pressure to the L/R,
2/4, OD, and UD friction elements (transmission clutches), and the torque converter clutch. The
reverse clutch is controlled by line pressure from the manual valve in the valve body. The solenoids
are contained within the Solenoid/Pressure Switch Assembly, and can only be serviced by
replacing the assembly.
The solenoid assembly also contains pressure switches that monitor and send hydraulic circuit
information to the TCM. Likewise, the pressure switches can only be service by replacing the
assembly.
Operation
OPERATION
SOLENOIDS
The solenoids receive electrical power from the Transmission Control Relay through a single wire.
The TCM energizes or operates the solenoids individually by grounding the return wire of the
solenoid needed. When a solenoid is energized, the solenoid valve shifts, and a fluid passage is
opened or closed (vented or applied), depending on its default operating state. The result is an
apply or release of a frictional element.
The 2/4 and UD solenoids are normally applied, which allows fluid to pass through in their relaxed
or "off" state. By design, this allows transmission limp-in (P,R,N,2) in the event of an electrical
failure.
The continuity of the solenoids and circuits are periodically tested. Each solenoid is turned on or off
depending on its current state. An inductive spike should be detected by the TCM during this test. If
no spike is detected, the circuit is tested again to verify the failure. In addition to the periodic
testing, the solenoid circuits are tested if a speed ratio or pressure switch error occurs.
PRESSURE SWITCHES
The TCM relies on three pressure switches to monitor fluid pressure in the L/R, 2/4, and OD
hydraulic circuits. The primary purpose of these switches is to help the TCM detect when clutch
circuit hydraulic failures occur. The range for the pressure switch closing and opening points is
11-23 psi. Typically the switch opening point will be approximately one psi lower than the closing
point. For example, a switch may close at 18 psi and open at 17 psi. The switches are continuously
monitored by the TCM for the correct states (open or closed) in each gear as shown in the
following chart:

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Actuators and Solenoids A/T > Shift Solenoid, A/T > Component Information > Description and Operation > 42RLE Automatic Transmission > Page
6742
A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set if the TCM senses any switch open or closed at the
wrong time in a given gear.
The TCM also tests the 2/4 and OD pressure switches when they are normally off (OD and 2/4 are
tested in 1st gear, OD in 2nd gear, and 2/4 in 3rd gear). The test simply verifies that they are
operational, by looking for a closed state when the corresponding element is applied. Immediately
after a shift into 1st, 2nd, or 3rd gear with the engine speed above 1000 rpm, the TCM momentarily
turns on element pressure to the 2/4 and/or OD clutch circuits to identify that the appropriate switch
has closed. If it doesn't close, it is tested again. If the switch fails to close the second time, the
appropriate Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set.

Description
DESCRIPTION
The transmission solenoid/TRS assembly is internal to the transmission and mounted on the valve
body assembly. The assembly consists of six solenoids that control hydraulic pressure to the six
friction elements (transmission clutches), and the torque converter clutch. The pressure control
solenoid is located on the side of the solenoid/TRS assembly. The solenoid/TRS assembly also
contains the Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) and five pressure switches that feed information to
the TCM.
Operation
OPERATION
SOLENOIDS
Solenoids are used to control the L/R, 2C, 4C, OD, and UD friction elements. The reverse clutch is
controlled by line pressure and the position of the manual valve in the valve body. All the solenoids
are contained within the Solenoid and Pressure Switch Assembly. The solenoid and pressure
switch assembly contains one additional solenoid, Multi-Select (MS), which serves primarily to
provide 2nd and 3rd gear limp-in operation.
The solenoids receive electrical power from the Transmission Control Relay through a single wire.
The TCM energizes or operates the solenoids individually by grounding the return wire of the
solenoid as necessary. When a solenoid is energized, the solenoid valve shifts, and a fluid
passage is opened or closed (vented or applied), depending on its default operating state. The
result is an apply or release of a frictional element.
The MS and UD solenoids are normally applied to allow transmission limp-in in the event of an
electrical failure.
The continuity of the solenoids and circuits are periodically tested. Each solenoid is turned on or off
depending on its current state. An inductive spike should be detected by the TCM during this test. If
no spike is detected, the circuit is tested again to verify the failure. In addition to the periodic
testing, the solenoid circuits are tested if a speed ratio or pressure switch error occurs.
PRESSURE SWITCHES
The TCM relies on five pressure switches to monitor fluid pressure in the L/R, 2C, 4C, UD, and OD
hydraulic circuits. The primary purpose of these switches is to help the TCM detect when clutch
circuit hydraulic failures occur. The switches close at 23 psi and open at 11 psi, and simply indicate
whether or not pressure exists. The switches are continuously monitored by the TCM for the
correct states (open or closed) in each gear as shown in the following charts and 545RFE

Shift Solenoid: Description and Operation 68RFE Automatic Transmission
Description
DESCRIPTION
The transmission solenoid/TRS assembly is internal to the transmission and mounted on the valve
body assembly. The assembly consists of six solenoids that control hydraulic pressure to the six
friction elements (transmission clutches), and the torque converter clutch. The pressure control
solenoid is located on the side of the solenoid/TRS assembly. The solenoid/TRS assembly also
contains the Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) and five pressure switches that feed information to
the TCM.
Operation
OPERATION
SOLENOIDS
Solenoids are used to control the L/R, 2C, 4C, OD, and UD friction elements. The reverse clutch is
controlled by line pressure and the position of the manual valve in the valve body. All the solenoids
are contained within the Solenoid and Pressure Switch Assembly. The solenoid and pressure
switch assembly contains one additional solenoid, Multi-Select (MS), which serves primarily to
provide 3rd gear and reverse limp-in operation.
The TCM energizes or operates the solenoids individually by grounding the return wire of the
solenoid as necessary. When a solenoid is energized, the solenoid valve shifts, and a fluid
passage is opened or closed (vented or applied), depending on its default operating state. The
result is an apply or release of a frictional element.
The MS and UD solenoids are normally applied to allow transmission limp-in in the event of an
electrical failure.
The continuity of the solenoids and circuits are periodically tested. Each solenoid is turned on or off
depending on its current state. An inductive spike should be detected by the TCM during this test. If
no spike is detected, the circuit is tested again to verify the failure. In addition to the periodic
testing, the solenoid circuits are tested if a speed ratio or pressure switch error occurs.
PRESSURE SWITCHES
The TCM relies on five pressure switches to monitor fluid pressure in the L/R, 2C, 4C, UD, and OD
hydraulic circuits. The primary purpose of these switches is to help the TCM detect when clutch
circuit hydraulic failures occur. The switches close at 23 psi and open at 11 psi, and simply indicate
whether or not pressure exists. The switches are continuously monitored by the TCM for the
correct states (open or closed) in each gear as shown in the following charts and

wrong time in a given gear.

Throttle Valve Solenoid: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION
On vehicles equipped with a Cummins diesel engine, the transmission throttle valve cable has
been replace by the transmission throttle valve actuator (TTVA). The TTVA consists of an electric
DC motor, two potentiometers, and a gear drive system. The TTVA is mechanically connected to
the transmission throttle valve in the valve body by the "D" shaped opening in the bottom of the
TTVA shaft. Changes in the TTVA position are therefore transferred to the throttle valve and cause
changes in the transmission throttle pressure.

Throttle Valve Solenoid: Adjustments
ADJUSTMENT
The Transmission Throttle Valve Actuator (TTVA) does not require any mechanical adjustments.
All changes in throttle valve position are controlled by the Engine Control Module (ECM).
The TTVA does require an initialization period after the actuator has been removed or replaced.
After the actuator has been removed or replaced, move the ignition to the ON position for thirty (30)
seconds. This will allow the ECM sufficient time to perform the internal calibration procedures to
learn the TTVA's current "zero" position. Once this is done, check the ECM for diagnostic trouble
codes (DTCs). If no DTCs are set relating to the TTVA, the TTVA is fully calibrated and ready for
use.

Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid: Description and Operation 42RLE Automatic Transmission
Description
DESCRIPTION
The Solenoid/Pressure Switch Assembly (1) is inside the transmission and mounted to the valve
body assembly. The assembly consists of four solenoids that control hydraulic pressure to the L/R,
2/4, OD, and UD friction elements (transmission clutches), and the torque converter clutch. The
reverse clutch is controlled by line pressure from the manual valve in the valve body. The solenoids
are contained within the Solenoid/Pressure Switch Assembly, and can only be serviced by
replacing the assembly.
The solenoid assembly also contains pressure switches that monitor and send hydraulic circuit
information to the TCM. Likewise, the pressure switches can only be service by replacing the
assembly.
Operation
OPERATION
SOLENOIDS
The solenoids receive electrical power from the Transmission Control Relay through a single wire.
The TCM energizes or operates the solenoids individually by grounding the return wire of the
solenoid needed. When a solenoid is energized, the solenoid valve shifts, and a fluid passage is
opened or closed (vented or applied), depending on its default operating state. The result is an
apply or release of a frictional element.
The 2/4 and UD solenoids are normally applied, which allows fluid to pass through in their relaxed
or "off" state. By design, this allows transmission limp-in (P,R,N,2) in the event of an electrical
failure.
The continuity of the solenoids and circuits are periodically tested. Each solenoid is turned on or off
depending on its current state. An inductive spike should be detected by the TCM during this test. If
no spike is detected, the circuit is tested again to verify the failure. In addition to the periodic
testing, the solenoid circuits are tested if a speed ratio or pressure switch error occurs.
PRESSURE SWITCHES
The TCM relies on three pressure switches to monitor fluid pressure in the L/R, 2/4, and OD
hydraulic circuits. The primary purpose of these switches is to help the TCM detect when clutch
circuit hydraulic failures occur. The range for the pressure switch closing and opening points is
11-23 psi. Typically the switch opening point will be approximately one psi lower than the closing
point. For example, a switch may close at 18 psi and open at 17 psi. The switches are continuously
monitored by the TCM for the correct states (open or closed) in each gear as shown in the
following chart:

Transmission > Page 6765
A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set if the TCM senses any switch open or closed at the
wrong time in a given gear.
The TCM also tests the 2/4 and OD pressure switches when they are normally off (OD and 2/4 are
tested in 1st gear, OD in 2nd gear, and 2/4 in 3rd gear). The test simply verifies that they are
operational, by looking for a closed state when the corresponding element is applied. Immediately
after a shift into 1st, 2nd, or 3rd gear with the engine speed above 1000 rpm, the TCM momentarily
turns on element pressure to the 2/4 and/or OD clutch circuits to identify that the appropriate switch
has closed. If it doesn't close, it is tested again. If the switch fails to close the second time, the
appropriate Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set.

OPERATION
RLE and RFE TRANSMISSIONS
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) controls all electronic operations of the transmission. The
TCM receives information regarding vehicle operation from both direct and indirect inputs, and
selects the operational mode of the transmission. Direct inputs are hard wired to, and used
specifically by the TCM. Indirect inputs are shared with the TCM via the vehicle communication
bus.
Some examples of direct inputs to the TCM are:
- Battery (B+) voltage
- Ignition "ON" voltage
- Transmission Control Relay (Switched B+) (if equipped)
- Throttle Position Sensor
- Crankshaft Position Sensor
- Transmission Range Sensor
- Pressure Switches
- Transmission Temperature Sensor
- Input Shaft Speed Sensor
- Output Shaft Speed Sensor
- Line Pressure Sensor
Some examples of indirect inputs to the TCM are:
- Target Idle
- Torque Reduction Confirmation
- Engine Coolant Temperature
- Ambient/Battery Temperature
- Scan Tool Communication
Based on the information received from these various inputs, the TCM determines the appropriate
shift schedule and shift points, depending on the present operating conditions and driver demand.
This is possible through the control of various direct and indirect outputs.
Some examples of TCM direct outputs are:
- Transmission Control Relay
- Solenoids
- Torque Reduction Request
Some examples of TCM indirect outputs are:
- Transmission Temperature (to PCM)
- PRNDL Position (to cluster/CCN)
In addition to monitoring inputs and controlling outputs, the TCM has other important
responsibilities and functions:
- Storing and maintaining Clutch Volume Indexes (CVI)
- Storing and selecting appropriate Shift Schedules
- System self-diagnostics
- Diagnostic capabilities (with scan tool)
NOTE: If the TCM has been replaced, the "Quick Learn Procedure" must be performed. See:
Transmission Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Programming and Relearning/Transmission
Control Module/TCM Quick Learn
BATTERY FEED
A fused, direct battery feed to the TCM is used for continuous power. This battery voltage is
necessary to retain memory in the TCM. When the battery (B+) is disconnected, this memory is
lost. When the battery (B+) is restored, this memory loss is detected by the TCM and a Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) is set.
CLUTCH VOLUME INDEXES (CVI)
Dodge Ram 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (Truck V8-4.7L (2008))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Control Module, A/T >
Component Information > Description and Operation > Transmission Control Module - Description > Page 6808
An important function of the TCM is to monitor Clutch Volume Indexes (CVI). CVIs represent the
volume of fluid needed to compress a clutch pack.
The TCM monitors gear ratio changes by monitoring the Input and Output Speed Sensors. The
Input, or Turbine Speed Sensor sends an electrical signal to the TCM that represents input shaft
rpm. The Output Speed Sensor provides the TCM with output shaft speed information.
By comparing the two inputs, the TCM can determine transmission gear position. This is important
to the CVI calculation because the TCM determines CVIs by monitoring how long it takes for a gear
change to occur.
Gear ratios can be determined by using the Scan Tool and reading the Input/Output Speed Sensor
values in the "Monitors" display. Gear ratio can be obtained by dividing the Input Speed Sensor
value by the Output Speed Sensor value.
For example, if the input shaft is rotating at 1000 rpm and the output shaft is rotating at 500 rpm,
then the TCM can determine that the gear ratio is 2:1. In direct drive (3rd gear), the gear ratio
changes to 1:1. The gear ratio changes as clutches are applied and released. By monitoring the
length of time it takes for the gear ratio to change following a shift request, the TCM can determine
the volume of fluid used to apply or release a friction element.
The volume of transmission fluid needed to apply the friction elements are continuously updated for
adaptive controls. As friction material wears, the volume of fluid need to apply the element
increases.
Certain mechanical problems within the input clutch assembly can cause inadequate or
out-of-range element volumes. Also, defective Input/Output Speed Sensors and wiring can cause
these conditions. The following charts identifies the appropriate clutch volumes and when they are
monitored/updated:

Component Information > Description and Operation > Transmission Control Module - Description > Page 6809
SHIFT SCHEDULES
As mentioned earlier, the TCM has programming that allows it to select a variety of shift schedules.
Shift schedule selection is dependent on the following:
- Shift lever position
- Throttle position
- Engine load
- Fluid temperature
- Software level
As driving conditions change, the TCM appropriately adjusts the shift schedule. Refer to the
following chart to determine the appropriate operation expected, depending on driving conditions.

DISCUSSION:
Chrysler Group vehicle fluid systems do NOT require regular flushing. These systems include:
engine oil, transmission oil, axle lube, brake fluid, power steering fluid, and refrigerant. The only
exception to this requirement are published in the vehicle maintenance schedules, e.g. engine
coolant.
Exceptions to this recommendation include only those instances where a failure has occurred
and/or the system has become compromised, contaminated or overheated beyond the normal
operating range.
Chrysler Group does NOT recommend aftermarket chemicals to flush the engine, transmission,
brake or steering systems. Chemicals contained in these products can damage the system
elastomeric components, and contaminate the component fluid, leading to loss of
system/component durability and service life. When necessary, only the original approved system
fluid should be used to flush these components using teamPSE(R) approved equipment.
If the engine coolant contains a considerable amount of sediment, clean and flush with Mopar
Cooling System Flush, p/n 04856977, or equivalent. Follow with a thorough rinsing to remove all
deposits and chemicals. Refill with a minimum of a 50% mixture of the specified coolant and
distilled water.

DISCUSSION:
Chrysler Group vehicle fluid systems do NOT require regular flushing. These systems include:
engine oil, transmission oil, axle lube, brake fluid, power steering fluid, and refrigerant. The only
exception to this requirement are published in the vehicle maintenance schedules, e.g. engine
coolant.
Exceptions to this recommendation include only those instances where a failure has occurred
and/or the system has become compromised, contaminated or overheated beyond the normal
operating range.
Chrysler Group does NOT recommend aftermarket chemicals to flush the engine, transmission,
brake or steering systems. Chemicals contained in these products can damage the system
elastomeric components, and contaminate the component fluid, leading to loss of
system/component durability and service life. When necessary, only the original approved system
fluid should be used to flush these components using teamPSE(R) approved equipment.
If the engine coolant contains a considerable amount of sediment, clean and flush with Mopar
Cooling System Flush, p/n 04856977, or equivalent. Follow with a thorough rinsing to remove all
deposits and chemicals. Refill with a minimum of a 50% mixture of the specified coolant and
distilled water.

W5J400 or NAG1 transmission (sales code DGJ).
DISCUSSION:
ATF+4(R) - (Type 9602) is being used as factory fill for Chrysler Group automatic transmissions.
ATF+4(R) is recommended for all vehicles equipped with Chrysler Group automatic transmissions
EXCEPT FOR THOSE LISTED IN THE NOTE ABOVE.
NOTE:
ATF+4(R) must always be used in vehicles that were originally filled with ATF+4(R). DO NOT USE
ANY OTHER FLUID.
NOTE:
ATF+4(R) is backward compatible with ATF+3, ATF+2, and ATF+. Additionally, ATF+4(R) can be
used to top off vehicles that used ATF+3, ATF+2, or ATF+.
NOTE:
If ATF+4® is used to service models originally filled with ATF+3, ATF+2, and ATF+ the fluid
maintenance schedules listed for that model does not change. The service interval currently in
effect for a given model should continue to be followed. Refer to the Service or Owners manual for
maintenance schedule directions.
In general terms, If ATF+, ATF+2 or ATF+3 was the recommended fluid, it is now recommended to
use ATF+4®
BENEFITS
^ Better anti-wear properties
^ Improved rust/corrosion prevention
^ Controls oxidation
^ Eliminates deposits
^ Controls friction
^ Retains anti-foaming properties
^ Superior properties for low temperature operation
FLUID COLOR
Mopar ATF+4(R) has exceptional durability. However, the red dye used in ATF+4(R) is not
permanent; as the fluid ages it may become darker or appear brown in color. ATF+4(R) also has a
unique odor that may change with age. With ATF+4(R) fluid, color and odor are no longer
indicators of fluid condition and do not necessarily support a fluid change.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (ALL BUT AISIN TRANSMISSION)
NOTE: Refer to fluid level checking procedures.
Mopar(R) ATF +4, Automatic Transmission Fluid is the recommended fluid for DaimlerChrysler
automatic transmissions.
Dexron II fluid IS NOT recommended. Clutch chatter can result from the use of improper fluid.
Mopar(R) ATF +4, Automatic Transmission Fluid when new is red in color. The ATF is dyed red so
it can be identified from other fluids used in the vehicle such as engine oil or antifreeze. The red
color is not permanent and is not an indicator of fluid condition. As the vehicle is driven, the ATF
will begin to look darker in color and may eventually become brown. This is normal. ATF+4 also
has a unique odor that may change with age. Consequently, odor and color cannot be used to
indicate the fluid condition or the need for a fluid change.
AISIN TRANSMISSION
Mopar(R) AS68RC, Automatic Transmission Fluid is the recommended fluid for AISIN AS68RC
TRANSMISSION.
Mopar(R) AS68RC, Automatic Transmission Fluid when new is red in color. The ATF is dyed red
so it can be identified from other fluids used in the vehicle such as engine oil or antifreeze. The red
color is not permanent and is not an indicator of fluid condition. As the vehicle is driven, the ATF
will begin to look darker in color and may eventually become brown. This is normal. Mopar(R)
AS68RC, also has a unique odor that may change with age. Consequently, odor and color cannot
be used to indicate the fluid condition or the need for a fluid change.
FLUID ADDITIVES
Chrysler strongly recommends against the addition of any fluids to the transmission, other than
those automatic transmission fluids listed above. Exceptions to this policy are the use of special
dyes to aid in detecting fluid leaks.
Various "special" additives and supplements exist that claim to improve shift feel and/or quality.
These additives and others also claim to improve converter clutch operation and inhibit
overheating, oxidation, varnish, and sludge. These claims have not been supported to the
satisfaction of Chrysler and these additives must not be used. The use of transmission "sealers"
should also be avoided, since they may adversely affect the integrity of transmission seals.

Fluid - A/T: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION - AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID
The automatic transmission fluid is selected based upon several qualities. The fluid must provide a
high level of protection for the internal components by providing a lubricating film between adjacent
metal components. The fluid must also be thermally stable so that it can maintain a consistent
viscosity through a large temperature range. If the viscosity stays constant through the temperature
range of operation, transmission operation and shift feel will remain consistent. Transmission fluid
must also be a good conductor of heat. The fluid must absorb heat from the internal transmission
components and transfer that heat to the transmission case.

Causes Of Burnt Fluid
CAUSES OF BURNT FLUID
Burnt, discolored fluid is a result of overheating which has two primary causes.
1. A result of restricted fluid flow through the main and/or auxiliary cooler. This condition is usually
the result of a faulty or improperly installed
drainback valve, a damaged oil cooler, or severe restrictions in the coolers and lines caused by
debris or kinked lines.
2. Heavy duty operation with a vehicle not properly equipped for this type of operation. Trailer
towing or similar high load operation will overheat
the transmission fluid if the vehicle is improperly equipped. Such vehicles should have an auxiliary
transmission fluid cooler, a heavy duty cooling system, and the engine/axle ratio combination
needed to handle heavy loads.
Effects Of Incorrect Fluid Level
EFFECTS OF INCORRECT FLUID LEVEL
A low fluid level allows the pump to take in air along with the fluid. Air in the fluid will cause fluid
pressures to be low and develop slower than normal. If the transmission is overfilled, the gears
churn the fluid into foam. This aerates the fluid and causing the same conditions occurring with a
low level. In either case, air bubbles cause fluid overheating, oxidation, and varnish buildup which
interferes with valve and clutch operation. Foaming also causes fluid expansion which can result in
fluid overflow from the transmission vent or fill tube. Fluid overflow can easily be mistaken for a
leak if inspection is not careful.
Fluid Contamination
FLUID CONTAMINATION
Transmission fluid contamination is generally a result of:
- adding incorrect fluid
- failure to clean dipstick and fill tube when checking level
- engine coolant entering the fluid
- internal failure that generates debris
- overheat that generates sludge (fluid breakdown)
- failure to replace contaminated converter after repair
The use of non-recommended fluids can result in transmission failure. The usual results are erratic
shifts, slippage, abnormal wear and eventual failure due to fluid breakdown and sludge formation.
Avoid this condition by using recommended fluids only.
The dipstick cap and fill tube should be wiped clean before checking fluid level. Dirt, grease and
other foreign material on the cap and tube could fall into the tube if not removed beforehand. Take
the time to wipe the cap and tube clean before withdrawing the dipstick.
Engine coolant in the transmission fluid is generally caused by a cooler malfunction. The only
remedy is to replace the radiator as the cooler in the radiator is not a serviceable part. If coolant
has circulated through the transmission, an overhaul is necessary.
The torque converter should also be replaced whenever a failure generates sludge and debris. This
is necessary because normal converter flushing procedures will not remove all contaminants.

1. Internal clutch slippage, usually caused by low line pressure, inadequate clutch apply pressure,
or clutch seal failure. 2. A result of restricted fluid flow through the main and auxiliary cooler. This
condition is usually the result of a faulty or improperly installed
drainback valve, a damaged oil cooler, or severe restrictions in the coolers and lines caused by

Avoid this condition by using recommended fluids only.
The dipstick cap and fill tube should be wiped clean before checking fluid level. Dirt, grease and
other foreign material on the cap and tube could fall into the tube if not removed beforehand. Take
the time to wipe the cap and tube clean before withdrawing the dipstick.
Engine coolant in the transmission fluid is generally caused by a cooler malfunction. The only
remedy is to replace the radiator as the cooler in the radiator is not a serviceable part. If coolant
has circulated through the transmission, an overhaul is necessary.
The torque converter should be replaced whenever a failure generates sludge and debris. This is
necessary because normal converter flushing procedures will not remove all contaminants.

TRANSMISSION FILL
To avoid overfilling transmission after a fluid change or overhaul, perform the following procedure:
1. Remove dipstick and insert clean funnel in transmission fill tube. 2. Add following initial quantity
of Mopar(R) ATF +4 to transmission:
a. If only fluid and filter were changed, add 3 pints (1-1/2 quarts) of ATF +4 to transmission. b. If
transmission was completely overhauled, torque converter was replaced or drained, and cooler
was flushed, add 12 pints (6 quarts) of ATF
+4 to transmission.
3. Apply parking brakes. 4. Start and run engine at normal curb idle speed. 5. Apply service brakes,
shift transmission through all gear ranges then back to NEUTRAL, set parking brake, and leave
engine running at curb idle
speed.
6. Remove funnel, insert dipstick and check fluid level. If level is low, add fluid to bring level to MIN
mark on dipstick. Check to see if the oil
level is equal on both sides of the dipstick. If one side is noticeably higher than the other, the
dipstick has picked up some oil from the dipstick tube. Allow the oil to drain down the dipstick tube
and re-check.
7. Drive vehicle until transmission fluid is at normal operating temperature. 8. With the engine
running at curb idle speed, the gear selector in NEUTRAL, and the parking brake applied, check
the transmission fluid level.

Fluid Level Check - 545RFE
FLUID LEVEL CHECK
Low fluid level can cause a variety of conditions because it allows the pump to take in air along with
the fluid. As in any hydraulic system, air bubbles make the fluid spongy, therefore, pressures will be
low and build up slowly.
Improper filling can also raise the fluid level too high. When the transmssion has too much fluid, the
geartrain churns up foam and cause the same conditions which occur with a low fluid level.
In either case, air bubbles can cause overheating and fluid oxidation, and varnishing. This can
interfere with normal valve, clutch, and accumulator operation. Foaming can also result in fluid
escaping from the transmission vent where it may be mistaken for a leak.
The transmission has a dipstick to check oil level. It is located on the right side of the engine. Be
sure to wipe all dirt from dipstick handle before removing.
The torque converter fills in both the P (PARK) and N (NEUTRAL) positions. Place the selector
lever in P (PARK) to be sure that the fluid level check is accurate. The engine should be running at

3. Apply parking brakes. 4. Start and run engine at normal curb idle speed. 5. Apply service brakes,
shift transmission through all gear ranges then back to NEUTRAL, set parking brake, and leave
engine running at curb idle
speed.
6. Remove funnel, insert dipstick and check fluid level. If level is low, add fluid to bring level to MIN
mark on dipstick. Check to see if the oil
level is equal on both sides of the dipstick. If one side is noticeably higher than the other, the
dipstick has picked up some oil from the dipstick tube. Allow the oil to drain down the dipstick tube
and re-check.
7. Drive vehicle until transmission fluid is at normal operating temperature. 8. With the engine
running at curb idle speed, the gear selector in NEUTRAL, and the parking brake applied, check
the transmission fluid level.
CAUTION: Do not overfill transmission, fluid foaming and shifting problems can result.
9. Add fluid to bring level up to MAX arrow mark.
When fluid level is correct, shut engine off, release park brake, remove funnel, and install dipstick
in fill tube.

Fluid Level Check
FLUID LEVEL CHECK
Low fluid level can cause a variety of conditions because it allows the pump to take in air along with
the fluid. As in any hydraulic system, air bubbles make the fluid spongy, therefore, pressures will be
low and build up slowly.
Improper filling can also raise the fluid level too high. When the transmission has too much fluid,
the gear train churns up foam and cause the same conditions which occur with a low fluid level.
In either case, air bubbles can cause overheating and/or fluid oxidation, and varnishing. This can
interfere with normal valve, clutch, and accumulator operation. Foaming can also result in fluid
escaping from the transmission vent where it may be mistaken for a leak.
After the fluid has been checked, seat the dipstick fully to seal out water and dirt.
The transmission has a dipstick to check oil level. Be sure to wipe all dirt from dipstick handle
before removing.
The torque converter fills in both the P (PARK) and N (NEUTRAL) positions. Place the selector
lever in P (PARK) to be sure that the fluid level check is accurate. The engine should be running at
idle speed for at least one minute, with the vehicle on level ground. At normal operating
temperature (approximately 82° C. or 180° F), the fluid level is correct if it is in the HOT region
(cross-hatched area) on the oil level indicator. The fluid level will be approximately at the upper
COLD hole of the dipstick at 21° C (70° F) fluid temperature.
NOTE: Engine and Transmission should be at normal operating temperature before performing this
procedure. Optimum fluid temperature for checking the level should be between 70°C (158°F) and
80°C ( 176°F).
1. Start engine and apply parking brake. 2. Shift the transmission into DRIVE for approximately 2
seconds. 3. Shift the transmission into REVERSE for approximately 2 seconds. 4. Shift the
transmission into PARK. 5. Connect the scan tool and select transmission. 6. Select sensors. 7.
Read the transmission temperature value. 8. Compare the fluid temperature value with the chart. 9.
Adjust transmission fluid level shown on the dipstick according to the Transmission Fluid
Temperature Chart.

NOTE: After adding any fluid to the transmission, wait a minimum of 2 minutes for the oil to fully
drain from the fill tube into the transmission before rechecking the fluid level.
10. Check transmission for leaks.

Description
DESCRIPTION
The line pressure sensor (2) is mounted on the top of the valve body, next to the pressure control
solenoid (1).
The TCM utilizes a closed-loop system to control transmission line pressure. The system contains
a variable force style solenoid, the Pressure Control Solenoid. The solenoid is duty cycle controlled
by the TCM to vent the unnecessary line pressure supplied by the oil pump back to the sump. The
system also contains a variable pressure style sensor, the Line Pressure Sensor, which is a direct
input to the TCM. The line pressure solenoid monitors the transmission line pressure and
completes the feedback loop to the TCM. The TCM uses this information to adjust its control of the
pressure control solenoid to achieve the desired line pressure.
Operation
OPERATION
The TCM calculates the desired line pressure based upon inputs from the transmission and engine.
The TCM calculates the torque input to the transmission and uses that information as the primary
input to the calculation. The line pressure is set to a predetermined value during shifts and when
the transmission is in the PARK and NEUTRAL positions. This is done to ensure consistent shift
quality. During all other operation, the actual line pressure is compared to the desired line pressure
and adjustments are made to the pressure control solenoid duty cycle.

Governor: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
Governor pressure is controlled electronically. Components used for governor pressure control
include:
- Governor body
- Valve body transfer plate
- Governor pressure solenoid valve
- Governor pressure sensor
- Fluid temperature thermistor
- Throttle position sensor (TPS)
- Transmission speed sensor
- Powertrain control module (PCM)
GOVERNOR PRESSURE SOLENOID VALVE
The solenoid valve (2) is a duty-cycle solenoid which regulates the governor pressure needed for
upshifts and downshifts. It is an electro-hydraulic device located in the governor body on the valve
body transfer plate.
GOVERNOR BODY, TRANSFER PLATE, AND PRESSURE SENSOR
The governor pressure sensor (2) measures output pressure of the governor pressure solenoid
valve.
The transfer plate is designed to supply transmission line pressure to the governor pressure
solenoid valve and to return governor pressure.
The governor pressure solenoid valve is mounted in the governor body (1). The body is bolted to
the lower side of the transfer plate.
GOVERNOR PRESSURE CURVES
There are four governor pressure curves programmed into the transmission control module. The
different curves allow the control module to adjust governor pressure for varying conditions. One
curve is used for operation when fluid temperature is at, or below, -1°C (30°F). A second curve is
used when fluid temperature is at, or above, 10°C (50°F) during normal city or highway driving. A
third curve is used during wide-open throttle operation. The fourth curve is used when driving with
the transfer case in low range.

Governor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
Compensation is required for performance variations of two of the input devices. Though the slope
of the transfer functions is tightly controlled, offset may vary due to various environmental factors or
manufacturing tolerances.
The pressure transducer is affected by barometric pressure as well as temperature. Calibration of
the zero pressure offset is required to compensate for shifting output due to these factors.
Normal calibration will be performed when sump temperature is above 50 degrees F, or in the
absence of sump temperature data, after the first 10 minutes of vehicle operation. Calibration of the
pressure transducer offset occurs each time the output shaft speed falls below 200 RPM.
Calibration shall be repeated each 3 seconds the output shaft speed is below 200 RPM. A 0.5
second pulse of 95% duty cycle is applied to the governor pressure solenoid valve and the
transducer output is read during this pulse. Averaging of the transducer signal is necessary to
reject electrical noise.
Under cold conditions (below 50 degrees F sump), the governor pressure solenoid valve response
may be too slow to guarantee 0 psi during the 0.5 second calibration pulse. Calibration pulses are
continued during this period, however the transducer output valves are discarded. Transducer
offset must be read at key-on, under conditions which promote a stable reading. This value is
retained and becomes the offset during the "cold" period of operation.
GOVERNOR PRESSURE SOLENOID VALVE
The inlet side of the solenoid valve is exposed to normal transmission line pressure. The outlet side
of the valve leads to the valve body governor circuit.
The solenoid valve regulates line pressure to produce governor pressure. The average current
supplied to the solenoid controls governor pressure. One amp current produces zero kPa/psi
governor pressure. Zero amps sets the maximum governor pressure.
The powertrain control module (PCM) turns on the trans control relay which supplies electrical
power to the solenoid valve. Operating voltage is 12 volts (DC). The PCM controls the ground side
of the solenoid using the governor pressure solenoid control circuit.
GOVERNOR PRESSURE SENSOR
The sensor output signal provides the necessary feedback to the PCM. This feedback is needed to
adequately control governor pressure.
GOVERNOR BODY AND TRANSFER PLATE
The transfer plate channels line pressure to the solenoid valve through the governor body. It also
channels governor pressure from the solenoid valve to the governor circuit. It is the solenoid valve
that develops the necessary governor pressure.
GOVERNOR PRESSURE CURVES
LOW TRANSMISSION FLUID TEMPERATURE
When the transmission fluid is cold the conventional governor can delay shifts, resulting in higher
than normal shift speeds and harsh shifts. The electronically controlled low temperature governor
pressure curve is higher than normal to make the transmission shift at normal speeds and sooner.
The PCM uses a temperature sensor in the transmission oil sump to determine when low
temperature governor pressure is needed.
NORMAL OPERATION
Normal operation is refined through the increased computing power of the PCM and through
access to data on engine operating conditions provided by the PCM that were not available with
the previous stand-alone electronic module. This facilitated the development of a load adaptive
shift strategy - the ability to alter the shift schedule in response to vehicle load condition. One
manifestation of this capability is grade "hunting" prevention - the ability of the transmission logic to
delay an upshift on a grade if the engine does not have sufficient power to maintain speed in the
higher gear. The 3-2 downshift and the potential for hunting between gears occurs with a heavily
loaded vehicle or on steep grades. When hunting occurs, it is very objectionable because shifts are
frequent and accompanied by large changes in noise and acceleration.
WIDE OPEN THROTTLE OPERATION
In wide-open throttle (WOT) mode, adaptive memory in the PCM assures that up-shifts occur at the
preprogrammed optimum speed. WOT operation is determined from the throttle position sensor,
which is also a part of the emission control system. The initial setting for the WOT upshift is below
the optimum engine speed. As WOT shifts are repeated, the PCM learns the time required to
complete the shifts by comparing the engine speed when the shifts occur to the optimum speed.
After each shift, the PCM adjusts the shift point until the optimum speed is reached. The PCM also
considers vehicle loading, grade and engine performance changes due to high altitude in
determining when to make WOT shifts. It does this by measuring vehicle and engine acceleration
and then factoring in the shift time.

TRANSFER CASE LOW RANGE OPERATION
On four-wheel drive vehicles operating in low range, the engine can accelerate to its peak more
rapidly than in Normal range, resulting in delayed shifts and undesirable engine "flare." The low
range governor pressure curve is also higher than normal to initiate upshifts sooner. The PCM
compares electronic vehicle speed signal used by the speedometer to the transmission output
shaft speed signal to determine when the transfer case is in low range.

Overdrive Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
An overdrive off indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. However, on vehicles
not equipped with an optional overdrive automatic transmission, this indicator is electronically
disabled. This indicator is located on the right side of the instrument cluster, to the right of the
coolant temperature gauge.
The overdrive off indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the text O/D OFF in the opaque layer
of the instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from
being clearly visible when it is not illuminated. An amber Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the
cutout in the opaque layer of the overlay causes the indicator to appear in amber through the
translucent outer layer of the overlay when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is
soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
When the exterior lighting is turned ON, the illumination intensity of the overdrive off indicator is
dimmable, which is adjusted along with the cluster general illumination lighting using the panel
lamps dimmer thumbwheel on the headlamp switch.
The overdrive off indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Overdrive Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The overdrive off indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the overdrive-OFF
position of the tow/haul switch has been selected, disabling the electronically controlled overdrive
feature of the automatic transmission. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument
cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received by the
cluster from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data
bus.
The overdrive off indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument
cluster logic circuit, and that logic will only allow this indicator to operate when the instrument
cluster receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit.
Therefore, the LED will always be OFF when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or
START. The LED only illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster
transistor. The instrument cluster will turn ON the overdrive off indicator for the following reasons:
- Overdrive Off Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic
overdrive off indicator lamp-ON message from the PCM indicating that the overdrive-OFF position
of the tow/haul switch has been selected, the indicator will be illuminated. The indicator remains
illuminated until the cluster receives a lamp-OFF message from the PCM, or until the ignition switch
is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the overdrive off indicator will
be turned ON, then OFF again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality
of the LED and the cluster control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the tow/haul switch to determine the proper outputs to the automatic
transmission. The PCM then sends the proper lamp-ON or lamp-OFF message to the
ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN).
For further diagnosis of the overdrive off indicator or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the
indicator, Refer to appropriate testing.
For proper diagnosis of the transmission control system, the PCM, the EMIC, the CAN data bus or
the electronic communication related to overdrive off indicator operation a diagnostic scan tool is
required. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

DESCRIPTION
A transmission over-temperature indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters.
However, on vehicles not equipped with an optional automatic transmission, this indicator is
electronically disabled. This indicator is located in the lower portion of the tachometer dial face in
the instrument cluster overlay.
The transmission over-temperature indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the International
Control and Display Symbol icon for Transmission Temperature in the opaque layer of the
instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being
clearly visible when it is not illuminated. A red Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the
opaque layer of the overlay causes the indicator to appear in red through the translucent outer
layer of the overlay when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the
instrument cluster electronic circuit board.

Temperature Warning Indicator - A/T: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The transmission over-temperature indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the
transmission fluid temperature is excessive, which may lead to accelerated transmission
component wear or failure. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument cluster
circuit board based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received over the
Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
The transmission over-temperature indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by
the instrument cluster logic circuit, and that logic will only allow this indicator to operate when the
instrument cluster receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start)
circuit. Therefore, the LED will always be OFF when the ignition switch is in any position except ON
or START. The LED only illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster
transistor. The instrument cluster will turn ON the transmission over-temperature indicator for the
following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position the transmission
over-temperature indicator is illuminated for about two seconds as a bulb test.
- Trans Over-Temp Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic
trans over-temp indicator lamp-ON message from the PCM indicating that the transmission fluid
temperature is 135 °C (275 °F) or higher, the indicator will be illuminated and a single chime tone is
sounded. The indicator remains illuminated until the cluster receives a lamp-OFF message from
the PCM, or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first. The chime
tone feature will only repeat during the same ignition cycle if the indicator is cycled OFF and then
ON again by the appropriate lamp-ON and lamp-OFF messages from the PCM.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the transmission
over-temperature indicator will be turned ON, then OFF again during the bulb check portion of the
test to confirm the functionality of the LED and the cluster control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the transmission temperature sensor to determine the transmission
operating condition. The PCM then sends the proper lamp-ON or lamp-OFF message to the
ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN). If
the instrument cluster illuminates the transmission over-temperature indicator due to a high
transmission oil temperature condition, it may indicate that the transmission or the transmission
cooling system are being overloaded, or that they require service. For further diagnosis of the
transmission over-temperature indicator or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the LED,
Refer to appropriate testing.
For proper diagnosis of the transmission temperature sensor, the PCM, the EMIC, the CAN data
bus or the electronic communication related to transmission over-temperature indicator operation a
diagnostic scan tool is required. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Transmission Mode Indicator - A/T: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
An electronic automatic transmission gear selector indicator is standard factory-installed equipment
on this vehicle. However, on vehicles not equipped with an optional automatic transmission, this
indicator is electronically disabled. The gear selector indicator information is displayed in an
electronic, blue-green Vacuum-Fluorescent Display (VFD) unit. This VFD unit is soldered onto the
cluster electronic circuit board and is visible through a window with a smoked clear lens located on
the lower edge of the speedometer dial face of the cluster overlay. The dark lens over the VFD
prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated.
The gear selector indicator displays the following characters from left to right: P, R, N, D, 2, and 1.
Each character appears in a blue-green color and at the same lighting level as the odometer
information. Respectively, these characters represent the PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL, DRIVE,
second gear, and first gear positions of the transmission gear selector lever on the steering
column. The indicator illuminates a rectangular box around the character that represents the
currently selected lever position.
During daylight hours (exterior lamps are OFF) the gear selector indicator is illuminated at full
brightness for clear visibility. At night (exterior lamps are ON), the indicator lighting level is adjusted
with the other cluster general illumination lamps using the panel lamps dimmer thumbwheel on the
headlamp switch. However, a PARADE mode position of the panel lamps dimmer thumbwheel
allows the indicator to be illuminated at full brightness if the exterior lamps are turned ON during
daylight hours.
The gear selector indicator is serviced as a unit with the VFD unit in the instrument cluster.

Transmission Mode Indicator - A/T: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The electronic gear selector indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator of the transmission
gear that has been selected with the automatic transmission gear selector lever. This indicator is
controlled by the instrument cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming. The cluster
circuitry automatically configures itself for the proper transmission type based upon the hard wired
transmission range sensor mux circuit input to the cluster.
The gear selector indicator information is displayed by the odometer/trip odometer Vacuum
Fluorescent Display (VFD) unit soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board, and
the VFD will not display the gear selector indicator information after the ignition switch is turned to
the OFF position. Each time the cluster is disconnected from battery current for more than about
five minutes, it must configure itself for the automatic transmission type that is in the vehicle once it
is reconnected to battery current. The instrument cluster circuitry configures the gear selector
indicator based upon the following inputs from the transmission range sensor:
- Open Circuit - If the cluster is configured for an automatic transmission and the transmission
range sensor mux circuit is open, the cluster circuitry controls the gear selector indicator display
based upon an electronic selected gear message received from the Transmission Control Module
(TCM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus. If the Transmission Range Sensor (TRS)
mux circuit is open and no electronic selected gear messages are received from the TCM within
two seconds, the instrument cluster circuitry will not display any gear selector position until the
condition is resolved or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Resolved Circuit - If the transmission range sensor mux circuit is resolved, the cluster circuitry
controls the gear selector indicator display based upon the resistance value of the hard wired input
from the TRS. If the cluster is configured for an automatic transmission with a TRS input and
detects a short to ground or an open in the TRS mux input, the instrument cluster circuitry will not
display any gear selector position in the VFD. The VFD display for the short-to-ground and open
circuit conditions will continue until the condition is resolved or until the ignition switch is turned to
the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the odometer/trip odometer
VFD will display all of its characters at once, then step through each character segment individually
during the VFD portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the VFD and the cluster control
circuitry.
On vehicles with a TCM, the TCM continually monitors the TRS, then sends the proper message to
the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment
Node/CCN). On vehicles without a TCM, the EMIC continually monitors the hard wired TRS
multiplexed input. On vehicles with a TCM, for proper diagnosis of the TRS, the TCM, the EMIC,
the CAN data bus or the electronic communication related to gear selector indicator operation a
diagnostic scan tool is required.

Overdrive Solenoid: Description and Operation 42RLE Automatic Transmission
Description
DESCRIPTION
The Solenoid/Pressure Switch Assembly (1) is inside the transmission and mounted to the valve
body assembly. The assembly consists of four solenoids that control hydraulic pressure to the L/R,
2/4, OD, and UD friction elements (transmission clutches), and the torque converter clutch. The
reverse clutch is controlled by line pressure from the manual valve in the valve body. The solenoids
are contained within the Solenoid/Pressure Switch Assembly, and can only be serviced by
replacing the assembly.
The solenoid assembly also contains pressure switches that monitor and send hydraulic circuit
information to the TCM. Likewise, the pressure switches can only be service by replacing the
assembly.
Operation
OPERATION
SOLENOIDS
The solenoids receive electrical power from the Transmission Control Relay through a single wire.
The TCM energizes or operates the solenoids individually by grounding the return wire of the
solenoid needed. When a solenoid is energized, the solenoid valve shifts, and a fluid passage is
opened or closed (vented or applied), depending on its default operating state. The result is an
apply or release of a frictional element.
The 2/4 and UD solenoids are normally applied, which allows fluid to pass through in their relaxed
or "off" state. By design, this allows transmission limp-in (P,R,N,2) in the event of an electrical
failure.
The continuity of the solenoids and circuits are periodically tested. Each solenoid is turned on or off
depending on its current state. An inductive spike should be detected by the TCM during this test. If
no spike is detected, the circuit is tested again to verify the failure. In addition to the periodic
testing, the solenoid circuits are tested if a speed ratio or pressure switch error occurs.
PRESSURE SWITCHES
The TCM relies on three pressure switches to monitor fluid pressure in the L/R, 2/4, and OD
hydraulic circuits. The primary purpose of these switches is to help the TCM detect when clutch
circuit hydraulic failures occur. The range for the pressure switch closing and opening points is
11-23 psi. Typically the switch opening point will be approximately one psi lower than the closing
point. For example, a switch may close at 18 psi and open at 17 psi. The switches are continuously
monitored by the TCM for the correct states (open or closed) in each gear as shown in the
following chart:

6936
A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set if the TCM senses any switch open or closed at the
wrong time in a given gear.
The TCM also tests the 2/4 and OD pressure switches when they are normally off (OD and 2/4 are
tested in 1st gear, OD in 2nd gear, and 2/4 in 3rd gear). The test simply verifies that they are
operational, by looking for a closed state when the corresponding element is applied. Immediately
after a shift into 1st, 2nd, or 3rd gear with the engine speed above 1000 rpm, the TCM momentarily
turns on element pressure to the 2/4 and/or OD clutch circuits to identify that the appropriate switch
has closed. If it doesn't close, it is tested again. If the switch fails to close the second time, the
appropriate Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set.

Overdrive Solenoid: Description and Operation 545RFE Automatic Transmission
Description
DESCRIPTION
The transmission solenoid/TRS assembly is internal to the transmission and mounted on the valve
body assembly. The assembly consists of six solenoids that control hydraulic pressure to the six
friction elements (transmission clutches), and the torque converter clutch. The pressure control
solenoid is located on the side of the solenoid/TRS assembly. The solenoid/TRS assembly also
contains the Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) and five pressure switches that feed information to
the TCM.
Operation
OPERATION
SOLENOIDS
Solenoids are used to control the L/R, 2C, 4C, OD, and UD friction elements. The reverse clutch is
controlled by line pressure and the position of the manual valve in the valve body. All the solenoids
are contained within the Solenoid and Pressure Switch Assembly. The solenoid and pressure
switch assembly contains one additional solenoid, Multi-Select (MS), which serves primarily to
provide 2nd and 3rd gear limp-in operation.
The solenoids receive electrical power from the Transmission Control Relay through a single wire.
The TCM energizes or operates the solenoids individually by grounding the return wire of the
solenoid as necessary. When a solenoid is energized, the solenoid valve shifts, and a fluid
passage is opened or closed (vented or applied), depending on its default operating state. The
result is an apply or release of a frictional element.
The MS and UD solenoids are normally applied to allow transmission limp-in in the event of an
electrical failure.
The continuity of the solenoids and circuits are periodically tested. Each solenoid is turned on or off
depending on its current state. An inductive spike should be detected by the TCM during this test. If
no spike is detected, the circuit is tested again to verify the failure. In addition to the periodic
testing, the solenoid circuits are tested if a speed ratio or pressure switch error occurs.

The TCM relies on five pressure switches to monitor fluid pressure in the L/R, 2C, 4C, UD, and OD
hydraulic circuits. The primary purpose of these switches is to help the TCM detect when clutch
circuit hydraulic failures occur. The switches close at 23 psi and open at 11 psi, and simply indicate
whether or not pressure exists. The switches are continuously monitored by the TCM for the
correct states (open or closed) in each gear as shown in the following charts and 545RFE

Overdrive Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
An overdrive off indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. However, on vehicles
not equipped with an optional overdrive automatic transmission, this indicator is electronically
disabled. This indicator is located on the right side of the instrument cluster, to the right of the
coolant temperature gauge.
The overdrive off indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the text O/D OFF in the opaque layer
of the instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from
being clearly visible when it is not illuminated. An amber Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the
cutout in the opaque layer of the overlay causes the indicator to appear in amber through the
translucent outer layer of the overlay when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is
soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
When the exterior lighting is turned ON, the illumination intensity of the overdrive off indicator is
dimmable, which is adjusted along with the cluster general illumination lighting using the panel
lamps dimmer thumbwheel on the headlamp switch.
The overdrive off indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Overdrive Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The overdrive off indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the overdrive-OFF
position of the tow/haul switch has been selected, disabling the electronically controlled overdrive
feature of the automatic transmission. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument
cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received by the
cluster from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data
bus.
The overdrive off indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument
cluster logic circuit, and that logic will only allow this indicator to operate when the instrument
cluster receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit.
Therefore, the LED will always be OFF when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or
START. The LED only illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster
transistor. The instrument cluster will turn ON the overdrive off indicator for the following reasons:
- Overdrive Off Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic
overdrive off indicator lamp-ON message from the PCM indicating that the overdrive-OFF position
of the tow/haul switch has been selected, the indicator will be illuminated. The indicator remains
illuminated until the cluster receives a lamp-OFF message from the PCM, or until the ignition switch
is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the overdrive off indicator will
be turned ON, then OFF again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality
of the LED and the cluster control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the tow/haul switch to determine the proper outputs to the automatic
transmission. The PCM then sends the proper lamp-ON or lamp-OFF message to the
ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN).
For further diagnosis of the overdrive off indicator or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the
indicator, Refer to appropriate testing.
For proper diagnosis of the transmission control system, the PCM, the EMIC, the CAN data bus or
the electronic communication related to overdrive off indicator operation a diagnostic scan tool is
required. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - OVERDRIVE ELECTRICAL CONTROLS
The tow/haul overdrive off switch, valve body solenoid, case connectors and related wiring can all
be tested with a 12 volt test lamp or a volt/ohmmeter. Check continuity of each component when
diagnosis indicates this is necessary.
Switch and solenoid continuity should be checked whenever the transmission fails to shift into
fourth gear range.

Pressure Regulating Solenoid: Description and Operation 42RLE Automatic Transmission
Description
DESCRIPTION
The pressure control solenoid (1) is mounted on the top of the valve body, next to the line pressure
sensor (2).
The TCM utilizes a closed-loop system to control transmission line pressure. The system contains
a variable force style solenoid, the Pressure Control Solenoid. The solenoid is duty cycle controlled
by the TCM to vent the unnecessary line pressure supplied by the oil pump back to the sump. The
system also contains a variable pressure style sensor, the Line Pressure Sensor, which is a direct
input to the TCM. The line pressure solenoid monitors the transmission line pressure and
completes the feedback loop to the TCM. The TCM uses this information to adjust its control of the
pressure control solenoid to achieve the desired line pressure.
Operation
OPERATION
The pressure control solenoid (PCS) is a variable force (VFS) style solenoid. A VFS solenoid is an
electro-hydraulic actuator, combining a solenoid and a regulating valve.
The transmission control module varies the current for the PCS, which varies the pressure in the
line pressure hydraulic circuit. When the current (duty cycle) of the PCS is low, the pressure in the
circuit is higher. At 0 current (0% duty cycle), the pressure is at the maximum value. Conversely,
when the current is maximized (100% duty cycle), the pressure in the circuit is at the lowest
possible value.

Solenoid, A/T > Component Information > Description and Operation > 42RLE Automatic Transmission > Page 7013
The Solenoid/Pressure Switch Assembly (1) is inside the transmission and mounted to the valve
body assembly. The assembly consists of four solenoids that control hydraulic pressure to the L/R,
2/4, OD, and UD friction elements (transmission clutches), and the torque converter clutch. The
reverse clutch is controlled by line pressure from the manual valve in the valve body. The solenoids
are contained within the Solenoid/Pressure Switch Assembly, and can only be serviced by
replacing the assembly.
The solenoid assembly also contains pressure switches that monitor and send hydraulic circuit
information to the TCM. Likewise, the pressure switches can only be service by replacing the
assembly.
Operation
OPERATION
SOLENOIDS
The solenoids receive electrical power from the Transmission Control Relay through a single wire.
The TCM energizes or operates the solenoids individually by grounding the return wire of the
solenoid needed. When a solenoid is energized, the solenoid valve shifts, and a fluid passage is
opened or closed (vented or applied), depending on its default operating state. The result is an
apply or release of a frictional element.
The 2/4 and UD solenoids are normally applied, which allows fluid to pass through in their relaxed
or "off" state. By design, this allows transmission limp-in (P,R,N,2) in the event of an electrical
failure.
The continuity of the solenoids and circuits are periodically tested. Each solenoid is turned on or off
depending on its current state. An inductive spike should be detected by the TCM during this test. If
no spike is detected, the circuit is tested again to verify the failure. In addition to the periodic
testing, the solenoid circuits are tested if a speed ratio or pressure switch error occurs.
PRESSURE SWITCHES
The TCM relies on three pressure switches to monitor fluid pressure in the L/R, 2/4, and OD
hydraulic circuits. The primary purpose of these switches is to help the TCM detect when clutch
circuit hydraulic failures occur. The range for the pressure switch closing and opening points is
11-23 psi. Typically the switch opening point will be approximately one psi lower than the closing
point. For example, a switch may close at 18 psi and open at 17 psi. The switches are continuously
monitored by the TCM for the correct states (open or closed) in each gear as shown in the
following chart:

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Pressure Regulating
Solenoid, A/T > Component Information > Description and Operation > 42RLE Automatic Transmission > Page 7014
A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set if the TCM senses any switch open or closed at the
wrong time in a given gear.
The TCM also tests the 2/4 and OD pressure switches when they are normally off (OD and 2/4 are
tested in 1st gear, OD in 2nd gear, and 2/4 in 3rd gear). The test simply verifies that they are
operational, by looking for a closed state when the corresponding element is applied. Immediately
after a shift into 1st, 2nd, or 3rd gear with the engine speed above 1000 rpm, the TCM momentarily
turns on element pressure to the 2/4 and/or OD clutch circuits to identify that the appropriate switch
has closed. If it doesn't close, it is tested again. If the switch fails to close the second time, the
appropriate Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set.

Description
DESCRIPTION
The transmission solenoid/TRS assembly is internal to the transmission and mounted on the valve
body assembly. The assembly consists of six solenoids that control hydraulic pressure to the six
friction elements (transmission clutches), and the torque converter clutch. The pressure control
solenoid is located on the side of the solenoid/TRS assembly. The solenoid/TRS assembly also
contains the Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) and five pressure switches that feed information to
the TCM.
Operation
OPERATION
SOLENOIDS
Solenoids are used to control the L/R, 2C, 4C, OD, and UD friction elements. The reverse clutch is
controlled by line pressure and the position of the manual valve in the valve body. All the solenoids
are contained within the Solenoid and Pressure Switch Assembly. The solenoid and pressure
switch assembly contains one additional solenoid, Multi-Select (MS), which serves primarily to
provide 2nd and 3rd gear limp-in operation.
The solenoids receive electrical power from the Transmission Control Relay through a single wire.
The TCM energizes or operates the solenoids individually by grounding the return wire of the
solenoid as necessary. When a solenoid is energized, the solenoid valve shifts, and a fluid
passage is opened or closed (vented or applied), depending on its default operating state. The
result is an apply or release of a frictional element.
The MS and UD solenoids are normally applied to allow transmission limp-in in the event of an
electrical failure.
The continuity of the solenoids and circuits are periodically tested. Each solenoid is turned on or off
depending on its current state. An inductive spike should be detected by the TCM during this test. If
no spike is detected, the circuit is tested again to verify the failure. In addition to the periodic
testing, the solenoid circuits are tested if a speed ratio or pressure switch error occurs.
PRESSURE SWITCHES
The TCM relies on five pressure switches to monitor fluid pressure in the L/R, 2C, 4C, UD, and OD
hydraulic circuits. The primary purpose of these switches is to help the TCM detect when clutch
circuit hydraulic failures occur. The switches close at 23 psi and open at 11 psi, and simply indicate
whether or not pressure exists. The switches are continuously monitored by the TCM for the
correct states (open or closed) in each gear as shown in the following charts and 545RFE

Description
DESCRIPTION
The transmission solenoid/TRS assembly is internal to the transmission and mounted on the valve
body assembly. The assembly consists of six solenoids that control hydraulic pressure to the six
friction elements (transmission clutches), and the torque converter clutch. The pressure control
solenoid is located on the side of the solenoid/TRS assembly. The solenoid/TRS assembly also
contains the Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) and five pressure switches that feed information to
the TCM.
Operation
OPERATION
SOLENOIDS
Solenoids are used to control the L/R, 2C, 4C, OD, and UD friction elements. The reverse clutch is
controlled by line pressure and the position of the manual valve in the valve body. All the solenoids
are contained within the Solenoid and Pressure Switch Assembly. The solenoid and pressure
switch assembly contains one additional solenoid, Multi-Select (MS), which serves primarily to
provide 3rd gear and reverse limp-in operation.
The TCM energizes or operates the solenoids individually by grounding the return wire of the
solenoid as necessary. When a solenoid is energized, the solenoid valve shifts, and a fluid
passage is opened or closed (vented or applied), depending on its default operating state. The
result is an apply or release of a frictional element.
The MS and UD solenoids are normally applied to allow transmission limp-in in the event of an
electrical failure.
The continuity of the solenoids and circuits are periodically tested. Each solenoid is turned on or off
depending on its current state. An inductive spike should be detected by the TCM during this test. If
no spike is detected, the circuit is tested again to verify the failure. In addition to the periodic
testing, the solenoid circuits are tested if a speed ratio or pressure switch error occurs.

Control Module: Description and Operation Transmission Control Module - Operation
OPERATION
RLE and RFE TRANSMISSIONS
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) controls all electronic operations of the transmission. The
TCM receives information regarding vehicle operation from both direct and indirect inputs, and
selects the operational mode of the transmission. Direct inputs are hard wired to, and used
specifically by the TCM. Indirect inputs are shared with the TCM via the vehicle communication
bus.
Some examples of direct inputs to the TCM are:
- Battery (B+) voltage
- Ignition "ON" voltage
- Transmission Control Relay (Switched B+) (if equipped)
- Throttle Position Sensor
- Crankshaft Position Sensor
- Transmission Range Sensor
- Pressure Switches
- Transmission Temperature Sensor
- Input Shaft Speed Sensor
- Output Shaft Speed Sensor
- Line Pressure Sensor
Some examples of indirect inputs to the TCM are:
- Target Idle
- Torque Reduction Confirmation
- Engine Coolant Temperature
- Ambient/Battery Temperature
- Scan Tool Communication
Based on the information received from these various inputs, the TCM determines the appropriate
shift schedule and shift points, depending on the present operating conditions and driver demand.
This is possible through the control of various direct and indirect outputs.
Some examples of TCM direct outputs are:
- Transmission Control Relay
- Solenoids
- Torque Reduction Request
Some examples of TCM indirect outputs are:
- Transmission Temperature (to PCM)
- PRNDL Position (to cluster/CCN)
In addition to monitoring inputs and controlling outputs, the TCM has other important
responsibilities and functions:
- Storing and maintaining Clutch Volume Indexes (CVI)
- Storing and selecting appropriate Shift Schedules
- System self-diagnostics
- Diagnostic capabilities (with scan tool)
NOTE: If the TCM has been replaced, the "Quick Learn Procedure" must be performed. See:
Transmission Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Programming and Relearning/Transmission
Control Module/TCM Quick Learn
BATTERY FEED
A fused, direct battery feed to the TCM is used for continuous power. This battery voltage is
necessary to retain memory in the TCM. When the battery (B+) is disconnected, this memory is
lost. When the battery (B+) is restored, this memory loss is detected by the TCM and a Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) is set.
CLUTCH VOLUME INDEXES (CVI)
Dodge Ram 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (Truck V8-4.7L (2008))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Relays and Modules - A/T
> Control Module, A/T > Component Information > Description and Operation > Transmission Control Module - Description
> Page 7056
An important function of the TCM is to monitor Clutch Volume Indexes (CVI). CVIs represent the
volume of fluid needed to compress a clutch pack.
The TCM monitors gear ratio changes by monitoring the Input and Output Speed Sensors. The
Input, or Turbine Speed Sensor sends an electrical signal to the TCM that represents input shaft
rpm. The Output Speed Sensor provides the TCM with output shaft speed information.
By comparing the two inputs, the TCM can determine transmission gear position. This is important
to the CVI calculation because the TCM determines CVIs by monitoring how long it takes for a gear
change to occur.
Gear ratios can be determined by using the Scan Tool and reading the Input/Output Speed Sensor
values in the "Monitors" display. Gear ratio can be obtained by dividing the Input Speed Sensor
value by the Output Speed Sensor value.
For example, if the input shaft is rotating at 1000 rpm and the output shaft is rotating at 500 rpm,
then the TCM can determine that the gear ratio is 2:1. In direct drive (3rd gear), the gear ratio
changes to 1:1. The gear ratio changes as clutches are applied and released. By monitoring the
length of time it takes for the gear ratio to change following a shift request, the TCM can determine
the volume of fluid used to apply or release a friction element.
The volume of transmission fluid needed to apply the friction elements are continuously updated for
adaptive controls. As friction material wears, the volume of fluid need to apply the element
increases.
Certain mechanical problems within the input clutch assembly can cause inadequate or
out-of-range element volumes. Also, defective Input/Output Speed Sensors and wiring can cause
these conditions. The following charts identifies the appropriate clutch volumes and when they are
monitored/updated:

> Page 7057
SHIFT SCHEDULES
As mentioned earlier, the TCM has programming that allows it to select a variety of shift schedules.
Shift schedule selection is dependent on the following:
- Shift lever position
- Throttle position
- Engine load
- Fluid temperature
- Software level
As driving conditions change, the TCM appropriately adjusts the shift schedule. Refer to the
following chart to determine the appropriate operation expected, depending on driving conditions.

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
All switches, components, and modules are shown in the at rest position with the doors closed and
the key removed from the ignition.
Components are shown two ways. A solid line around a component indicates that the component is
complete. A dashed line around the component indicates that the component is being shown is not
complete. Incomplete components have a reference number to indicate the page where the
component is shown complete.
It is important to realize that no attempt is made on the diagrams to represent components and
wiring as they appear on the vehicle. For example, a short piece of wire is treated the same as a
long one. In addition, switches and other components are shown as simply as possible, with regard
to function only.

Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- Ohmmeter - Used to check the resistance between two points of a circuit. Low or no resistance in
a circuit means good continuity.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking resistance in these circuits use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
In addition, make sure the power is disconnected from the circuit. Circuits that are powered up by
the vehicle's electrical system can cause damage to the equipment and provide false readings.

Page 7080
- Probing Tools - These tools are used for probing terminals in connectors. Select the proper size
tool from Special Tool Package 6807, and insert the probing end (2) into the terminal being tested.
Use the other end of the tool (1) to insert the meter probe.
INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent electrical problems are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. It is also
possible for a sticking component or relay to cause a problem. Before condemning a component or
wiring assembly, check the following items.
- Connectors are fully seated
- Spread terminals, or terminal push out
- Terminals in the wiring assembly are fully seated into the connector/component and locked into
position
- Dirt or corrosion on the terminals. Any amount of corrosion or dirt could cause an intermittent
problem
- Damaged connector/component casing exposing the item to dirt or moisture
- Wire insulation that has rubbed through causing a short to ground
- Some or all of the wiring strands broken inside of the insulation
- Wiring broken inside of the insulation
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are six steps which can aid in the procedure. The
steps are listed and explained below. Always check for non-factory items added to the vehicle
before doing any diagnosis. If the vehicle is equipped with these items, disconnect them to verify
these add-on items are not the cause of the problem.
1. Verify the problem. 2. Verify any related symptoms. Do this by performing operational checks on
components that are in the same circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams. 3. Analyze the symptoms.
Use the wiring diagrams to determine what the circuit is doing, where the problem most likely is
occurring and where the
diagnosis will continue.
4. Isolate the problem area. 5. Repair the problem area. 6. Verify the proper operation. For this
step, check for proper operation of all items on the repaired circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams.

Fluid Pressure Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation 42RLE Automatic Transmission
Description
DESCRIPTION
The line pressure sensor (2) is mounted on the top of the valve body, next to the pressure control
solenoid (1).
The TCM utilizes a closed-loop system to control transmission line pressure. The system contains
a variable force style solenoid, the Pressure Control Solenoid. The solenoid is duty cycle controlled
by the TCM to vent the unnecessary line pressure supplied by the oil pump back to the sump. The
system also contains a variable pressure style sensor, the Line Pressure Sensor, which is a direct
input to the TCM. The line pressure solenoid monitors the transmission line pressure and
completes the feedback loop to the TCM. The TCM uses this information to adjust its control of the
pressure control solenoid to achieve the desired line pressure.
Operation
OPERATION
The TCM calculates the desired line pressure based upon inputs from the transmission and engine.
The TCM calculates the torque input to the transmission and uses that information as the primary
input to the calculation. The line pressure is set to a predetermined value during shifts and when
the transmission is in the PARK and NEUTRAL positions. This is done to ensure consistent shift
quality. During all other operation, the actual line pressure is compared to the desired line pressure
and adjustments are made to the pressure control solenoid duty cycle.

Shift Solenoid Position Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The transmission solenoid/TRS assembly is internal to the transmission and mounted on the valve
body assembly. The assembly consists of six solenoids that control hydraulic pressure to the six
friction elements (transmission clutches), and the torque converter clutch. The pressure control
solenoid is located on the side of the solenoid/TRS assembly. The solenoid/TRS assembly also
contains the Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) and five pressure switches that feed information to
the TCM.

Shift Solenoid Position Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
SOLENOIDS
Solenoids are used to control the L/R, 2C, 4C, OD, and UD friction elements. The reverse clutch is
controlled by line pressure and the position of the manual valve in the valve body. All the solenoids
are contained within the Solenoid and Pressure Switch Assembly. The solenoid and pressure
switch assembly contains one additional solenoid, Multi-Select (MS), which serves primarily to
provide 2nd and 3rd gear limp-in operation.
The solenoids receive electrical power from the Transmission Control Relay through a single wire.
The TCM energizes or operates the solenoids individually by grounding the return wire of the
solenoid as necessary. When a solenoid is energized, the solenoid valve shifts, and a fluid
passage is opened or closed (vented or applied), depending on its default operating state. The
result is an apply or release of a frictional element.
The MS and UD solenoids are normally applied to allow transmission limp-in in the event of an
electrical failure.
The continuity of the solenoids and circuits are periodically tested. Each solenoid is turned on or off
depending on its current state. An inductive spike should be detected by the TCM during this test. If
no spike is detected, the circuit is tested again to verify the failure. In addition to the periodic
testing, the solenoid circuits are tested if a speed ratio or pressure switch error occurs.
PRESSURE SWITCHES
The TCM relies on five pressure switches to monitor fluid pressure in the L/R, 2C, 4C, UD, and OD
hydraulic circuits. The primary purpose of these switches is to help the TCM detect when clutch
circuit hydraulic failures occur. The switches close at 23 psi and open at 11 psi, and simply indicate
whether or not pressure exists. The switches are continuously monitored by the TCM for the
correct states (open or closed) in each gear as shown in the following charts and 545RFE
PRESSURE SWITCH STATES:
A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set if the TCM senses any switch open or closed at the
wrong time in a given gear.

Transmission Position Switch/Sensor: Description and Operation 42RLE Automatic Transmission
Description
DESCRIPTION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) (2) is mounted to the top of the valve body inside the
transmission and can only be serviced by removing the valve body assembly. The electrical
connector extends through the transmission case.
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) has four switch contacts that monitor shift lever position
and send the information to the PCM.
Operation
OPERATION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) communicates shift lever position (SLP) to the TCM as a
combination of open and closed switches. Each shift lever position has an assigned combination of
switch states (open/closed) that the TCM receives from four sense circuits. The TCM interprets this
information and determines the appropriate transmission gear position and shift schedule.
Since there are four switches, there are 16 possible combinations of open and closed switches
(codes). Seven of these codes are related to gear position and three are recognized as "between
gear" codes. This results in six codes which should never occur. These are called "invalid" codes.
An invalid code will result in a DTC, and the TCM will then determine the shift lever position based
on pressure switch data. This allows reasonably normal transmission operation with a TRS failure.

Transmission Position Switch/Sensor: Description and Operation 48RE Automatic Transmission
Description
DESCRIPTION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) has 3 primary functions:
- Provide a PARK/NEUTRAL start signal to the engine controller and the starter relay.
- Turn the Back-up lamps on when the transmission is in REVERSE and the engine (ignition) is on.
- Provide a transmission range signal to the instrument cluster.
The sensor is mounted in the transmission housing near the valve body, just above the pan rail. It's
in the same position as the Park/Neutral switch on other transmissions. The TRS contacts a
cammed surface on the manual valve lever. The cammed surface translates the rotational motion
of the manual lever into the linear motion of the sensor. The cammed surface on the manual lever
is comprised of two parts controlling the TRS signal: The insulator portion contacts the switch
poppet when the manual lever is not in PARK or NEUTRAL. The manual lever itself contacts the
poppet when the lever is in PARK or NEUTRAL; providing a ground for the signal from the starter
relay and the appropriate engine controller.

As the switch moves through its linear motion contacts slide across a circuit board which changes
the resistance between the range sensing pins of the switch. A power supply on the instrument
cluster provides a regulated voltage signal to the switch. The return signal is decoded by the
cluster, which then controls the PRNDL display to correspond with the correct transmission range.
A bus message of transmission range is also sent by the cluster. In REVERSE range a second
contact set closes the circuit providing power to the reverse lamps.

Transmission Position Switch/Sensor: Testing and Inspection
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR (TRS)
NOTE: For all circuit identification in the following steps, Refer to the appropriate Wiring
Information.
1. Raise vehicle on suitable hoist. 2. Disconnect the vehicle's shift cable from the manual lever. 3.
With the manual lever in the PARK position (the PARK position is with the manual lever moved to
the full rearward position), measure the
resistance between the Park/Neutral Position Sense pin of the TRS and the transmission case. The
resistance should be less than 5 ohms.
4. With the manual lever in the NEUTRAL position (the NEUTRAL position is with the manual lever
moved two detents forward of the full
rearward position), measure the resistance between the Park/Neutral Position Sense pin of the
TRS and the transmission case. The resistance should be less than 5 ohms.
5. If the resistance is greater than 5 ohms in either of the previous steps, check for a dirty contact
between the tip of the TRS rod and the valve body

Transmission Speed Sensor: Description and Operation 42RLE Automatic Transmission
Description
DESCRIPTION
The Input (1) and Output (2) Speed Sensors are two-wire magnetic pickup devices that generate
AC signals as rotation occurs. They are mounted in the left side of the transmission case and are
considered primary inputs to the Transmission Control Module (TCM).
Operation
OPERATION
The Input Speed Sensor provides information on how fast the input shaft is rotating. As the teeth of
the input clutch hub pass by the sensor coil, an AC voltage is generated and sent to the TCM. The
TCM interprets this information as input shaft rpm.
The Output Speed Sensor generates an AC signal in a similar fashion, though its coil is excited by
rotation of the rear planetary carrier lugs. The TCM interprets this information as output shaft rpm.
The TCM compares the input and output speed signals to determine the following:
- Transmission gear ratio
- Speed ratio error detection
- CVI calculation
The TCM also compares the input speed signal and the engine speed signal to determine the
following:
- Torque converter clutch slippage
- Torque converter element speed ratio

Description
DESCRIPTION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) is part of the solenoid module, which is mounted to the top
of the valve body inside the transmission.
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) has five switch contact pins that:
- Determine shift lever position
- Supply ground to the Starter Relay in Park and Neutral only.
- Supply +12 V to the backup lamps in Reverse only.
The TRS also has an integrated temperature sensor (thermistor) that communicates transmission
temperature to the TCM and PCM.
Operation
OPERATION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) communicates shift lever position to the TCM as a
combination of open and closed switches. Each shift lever position has an assigned combination of
switch states (open/closed) that the TCM receives from four sense circuits. The TCM interprets this
information and determines the appropriate transmission gear position and shift schedule.
There are many possible combinations of open and closed switches (codes). Seven of these
possible codes are related to gear position and five are recognized as "between gear" codes. This
results in many codes which should never occur. These are called "invalid" codes. An invalid code
will result in a DTC, and the TCM will then determine the shift lever position based on pressure
switch data. This allows reasonably normal transmission operation with a TRS failure.

Description
DESCRIPTION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) is part of the solenoid module, which is mounted to the top
of the valve body inside the transmission.
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) has five switch contact pins that:
- Determine shift lever position
- Supply ground to the Starter Relay in Park and Neutral only.
The TRS also has an integrated temperature sensor (thermistor) that communicates transmission
temperature to the TCM and PCM.
Operation
OPERATION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) communicates shift lever position to the TCM as a
combination of open and closed switches. Each shift lever position has an assigned combination of
switch states (open/closed) that the TCM receives from four sense circuits. The TCM interprets this
information and determines the appropriate transmission gear position and shift schedule.
There are many possible combinations of open and closed switches (codes). Five of these possible
codes correspond to valid gear position, there are two codes for the neutral position and three are
recognized as "between gear" codes. This results in many codes which should never occur. These
are called "invalid" codes. An invalid code will result in a DTC, and the TCM will then determine the
shift lever position based on pressure switch data. This allows reasonably normal transmission
operation with a TRS failure.

Shift Solenoid: Description and Operation 42RLE Automatic Transmission
Description
DESCRIPTION
The Solenoid/Pressure Switch Assembly (1) is inside the transmission and mounted to the valve
body assembly. The assembly consists of four solenoids that control hydraulic pressure to the L/R,
2/4, OD, and UD friction elements (transmission clutches), and the torque converter clutch. The
reverse clutch is controlled by line pressure from the manual valve in the valve body. The solenoids
are contained within the Solenoid/Pressure Switch Assembly, and can only be serviced by
replacing the assembly.
The solenoid assembly also contains pressure switches that monitor and send hydraulic circuit
information to the TCM. Likewise, the pressure switches can only be service by replacing the
assembly.
Operation
OPERATION
SOLENOIDS
The solenoids receive electrical power from the Transmission Control Relay through a single wire.
The TCM energizes or operates the solenoids individually by grounding the return wire of the
solenoid needed. When a solenoid is energized, the solenoid valve shifts, and a fluid passage is
opened or closed (vented or applied), depending on its default operating state. The result is an
apply or release of a frictional element.
The 2/4 and UD solenoids are normally applied, which allows fluid to pass through in their relaxed
or "off" state. By design, this allows transmission limp-in (P,R,N,2) in the event of an electrical
failure.
The continuity of the solenoids and circuits are periodically tested. Each solenoid is turned on or off
depending on its current state. An inductive spike should be detected by the TCM during this test. If
no spike is detected, the circuit is tested again to verify the failure. In addition to the periodic
testing, the solenoid circuits are tested if a speed ratio or pressure switch error occurs.
PRESSURE SWITCHES
The TCM relies on three pressure switches to monitor fluid pressure in the L/R, 2/4, and OD
hydraulic circuits. The primary purpose of these switches is to help the TCM detect when clutch
circuit hydraulic failures occur. The range for the pressure switch closing and opening points is
11-23 psi. Typically the switch opening point will be approximately one psi lower than the closing
point. For example, a switch may close at 18 psi and open at 17 psi. The switches are continuously
monitored by the TCM for the correct states (open or closed) in each gear as shown in the
following chart:

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Shift Solenoid, A/T >
Component Information > Description and Operation > 42RLE Automatic Transmission > Page 7350
A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set if the TCM senses any switch open or closed at the
wrong time in a given gear.
The TCM also tests the 2/4 and OD pressure switches when they are normally off (OD and 2/4 are
tested in 1st gear, OD in 2nd gear, and 2/4 in 3rd gear). The test simply verifies that they are
operational, by looking for a closed state when the corresponding element is applied. Immediately
after a shift into 1st, 2nd, or 3rd gear with the engine speed above 1000 rpm, the TCM momentarily
turns on element pressure to the 2/4 and/or OD clutch circuits to identify that the appropriate switch
has closed. If it doesn't close, it is tested again. If the switch fails to close the second time, the
appropriate Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set.

OPERATION
SOLENOIDS
Solenoids are used to control the L/R, 2C, 4C, OD, and UD friction elements. The reverse clutch is
controlled by line pressure and the position of the manual valve in the valve body. All the solenoids
are contained within the Solenoid and Pressure Switch Assembly. The solenoid and pressure
switch assembly contains one additional solenoid, Multi-Select (MS), which serves primarily to
provide 2nd and 3rd gear limp-in operation.
The solenoids receive electrical power from the Transmission Control Relay through a single wire.
The TCM energizes or operates the solenoids individually by grounding the return wire of the
solenoid as necessary. When a solenoid is energized, the solenoid valve shifts, and a fluid
passage is opened or closed (vented or applied), depending on its default operating state. The
result is an apply or release of a frictional element.

The TCM relies on five pressure switches to monitor fluid pressure in the L/R, 2C, 4C, UD, and OD

circuit hydraulic failures occur. The switches close at 23 psi and open at 11 psi, and simply indicate
whether or not pressure exists. The switches are continuously monitored by the TCM for the
correct states (open or closed) in each gear as shown in the following charts and 545RFE

ADJUSTMENTS - GEARSHIFT CABLE
NOTE: Always run the shift lever test using the scan tool to help diagnose a potential TRS problem
Check adjustment by starting the engine in PARK and NEUTRAL. Adjustment is CORRECT if the
engine starts only in these positions. Adjustment is INCORRECT if the engine starts in one but not
both positions. If the engine starts in any position other than PARK or NEUTRAL, or if the engine
will not start at all, the transmission range sensor may be faulty.
Gearshift Adjustment Procedure
Gearshift Cable at Steering Column
1. Shift transmission into PARK. 2. Release cable adjuster lock tab (3) (underneath the steering
column) to unlock cable. 3. Raise vehicle. 4. Disengage the cable eyelet from the transmission
manual shift lever. 5. Verify transmission shift lever is in PARK detent by moving lever fully
rearward. Last rearward detent is PARK position. 6. Verify positive engagement of transmission
park lock by attempting to rotate propeller shaft. Shaft will not rotate when park lock is engaged. 7.
Snap the cable eyelet onto the transmission manual shift lever. 8. Lower vehicle. 9. Lock shift cable
by pressing cable adjuster lock tab (3) downward until it snaps into place.
10. Check engine starting. Engine should start only in PARK and NEUTRAL.

Shift Solenoid Position Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The transmission solenoid/TRS assembly is internal to the transmission and mounted on the valve
body assembly. The assembly consists of six solenoids that control hydraulic pressure to the six
friction elements (transmission clutches), and the torque converter clutch. The pressure control
solenoid is located on the side of the solenoid/TRS assembly. The solenoid/TRS assembly also
contains the Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) and five pressure switches that feed information to
the TCM.

Shift Solenoid Position Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
SOLENOIDS
Solenoids are used to control the L/R, 2C, 4C, OD, and UD friction elements. The reverse clutch is
controlled by line pressure and the position of the manual valve in the valve body. All the solenoids
are contained within the Solenoid and Pressure Switch Assembly. The solenoid and pressure
switch assembly contains one additional solenoid, Multi-Select (MS), which serves primarily to
provide 2nd and 3rd gear limp-in operation.
The solenoids receive electrical power from the Transmission Control Relay through a single wire.
The TCM energizes or operates the solenoids individually by grounding the return wire of the
solenoid as necessary. When a solenoid is energized, the solenoid valve shifts, and a fluid
passage is opened or closed (vented or applied), depending on its default operating state. The
result is an apply or release of a frictional element.
The MS and UD solenoids are normally applied to allow transmission limp-in in the event of an
electrical failure.
The continuity of the solenoids and circuits are periodically tested. Each solenoid is turned on or off
depending on its current state. An inductive spike should be detected by the TCM during this test. If
no spike is detected, the circuit is tested again to verify the failure. In addition to the periodic
testing, the solenoid circuits are tested if a speed ratio or pressure switch error occurs.
PRESSURE SWITCHES
The TCM relies on five pressure switches to monitor fluid pressure in the L/R, 2C, 4C, UD, and OD
hydraulic circuits. The primary purpose of these switches is to help the TCM detect when clutch
circuit hydraulic failures occur. The switches close at 23 psi and open at 11 psi, and simply indicate
whether or not pressure exists. The switches are continuously monitored by the TCM for the
correct states (open or closed) in each gear as shown in the following charts and 545RFE
PRESSURE SWITCH STATES:
A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set if the TCM senses any switch open or closed at the
wrong time in a given gear.

Temperature Warning Indicator - A/T: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
A transmission over-temperature indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters.
However, on vehicles not equipped with an optional automatic transmission, this indicator is
electronically disabled. This indicator is located in the lower portion of the tachometer dial face in
the instrument cluster overlay.
The transmission over-temperature indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the International
Control and Display Symbol icon for Transmission Temperature in the opaque layer of the
instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being
clearly visible when it is not illuminated. A red Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the
opaque layer of the overlay causes the indicator to appear in red through the translucent outer
layer of the overlay when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the
instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
The transmission over-temperature indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Temperature Warning Indicator - A/T: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The transmission over-temperature indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the
transmission fluid temperature is excessive, which may lead to accelerated transmission
component wear or failure. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument cluster
circuit board based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received over the
Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
The transmission over-temperature indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by
the instrument cluster logic circuit, and that logic will only allow this indicator to operate when the
instrument cluster receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start)
circuit. Therefore, the LED will always be OFF when the ignition switch is in any position except ON
or START. The LED only illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster
transistor. The instrument cluster will turn ON the transmission over-temperature indicator for the
following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position the transmission
over-temperature indicator is illuminated for about two seconds as a bulb test.
- Trans Over-Temp Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic
trans over-temp indicator lamp-ON message from the PCM indicating that the transmission fluid
temperature is 135 °C (275 °F) or higher, the indicator will be illuminated and a single chime tone is
sounded. The indicator remains illuminated until the cluster receives a lamp-OFF message from
the PCM, or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first. The chime
tone feature will only repeat during the same ignition cycle if the indicator is cycled OFF and then
ON again by the appropriate lamp-ON and lamp-OFF messages from the PCM.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the transmission
over-temperature indicator will be turned ON, then OFF again during the bulb check portion of the
test to confirm the functionality of the LED and the cluster control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the transmission temperature sensor to determine the transmission
operating condition. The PCM then sends the proper lamp-ON or lamp-OFF message to the
ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN). If
the instrument cluster illuminates the transmission over-temperature indicator due to a high
transmission oil temperature condition, it may indicate that the transmission or the transmission
cooling system are being overloaded, or that they require service. For further diagnosis of the
transmission over-temperature indicator or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the LED,
Refer to appropriate testing.
For proper diagnosis of the transmission temperature sensor, the PCM, the EMIC, the CAN data
bus or the electronic communication related to transmission over-temperature indicator operation a
diagnostic scan tool is required. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Throttle Valve Solenoid: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION
On vehicles equipped with a Cummins diesel engine, the transmission throttle valve cable has
been replace by the transmission throttle valve actuator (TTVA). The TTVA consists of an electric
DC motor, two potentiometers, and a gear drive system. The TTVA is mechanically connected to
the transmission throttle valve in the valve body by the "D" shaped opening in the bottom of the
TTVA shaft. Changes in the TTVA position are therefore transferred to the throttle valve and cause
changes in the transmission throttle pressure.

The TTVA does require an initialization period after the actuator has been removed or replaced.
After the actuator has been removed or replaced, move the ignition to the ON position for thirty (30)
seconds. This will allow the ECM sufficient time to perform the internal calibration procedures to
learn the TTVA's current "zero" position. Once this is done, check the ECM for diagnostic trouble
codes (DTCs). If no DTCs are set relating to the TTVA, the TTVA is fully calibrated and ready for
use.

Throttle Valve Cable/Linkage: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION
Transmission throttle valve cable (1) adjustment is extremely important to proper operation. This
adjustment positions the throttle valve, which controls shift speed, quality, and part-throttle
downshift sensitivity.
If cable setting is too loose, early shifts and slippage between shifts may occur. If the setting is too
tight, shifts may be delayed and part throttle downshifts may be very sensitive.
The transmission throttle valve is operated by a cam on the throttle lever. The throttle lever is
operated by an adjustable cable (3). The cable is attached to an arm mounted on the throttle lever
shaft. A retaining clip (2) at the engine-end of the cable is removed to provide for cable adjustment.
The retaining clip is then installed back onto the throttle valve cable to lock in the adjustment.

Throttle Valve Cable/Linkage: Adjustments
ADJUSTMENTS - THROTTLE VALVE CABLE
A correctly adjusted throttle valve cable (1) will cause the throttle lever on the transmission to move
simultaneously with the throttle body lever (3) from the idle position. Proper adjustment will allow
simultaneous movement without causing the transmission throttle lever to either move ahead of, or
lag behind the lever on the throttle body.
ADJUSTMENT VERIFICATION
1. Turn ignition key to OFF position. 2. Remove air cleaner. 3. Verify that lever on throttle body is at
curb idle position. Then verify that the transmission throttle lever is also at idle (fully forward)
position.

4. Slide cable off attachment stud on throttle body lever. 5. Compare position (B) of cable end to
attachment stud on throttle body lever:
- Cable end and attachment stud should be aligned (or centered on one another) to within 1 mm
(0.039 in.) in either direction (B).
- If cable end and attachment stud are misaligned (off center), cable will have to be adjusted as
described in Throttle Valve Cable Adjustment procedure.
6. Reconnect cable end to attachment stud. Then with aid of a helper, observe movement of
transmission throttle lever and lever on throttle body.
- If both levers move simultaneously from idle to half-throttle and back to idle position, adjustment is
correct.
- If transmission throttle lever moves ahead of, or lags behind throttle body lever, cable adjustment
will be necessary. Or, if throttle body lever prevents transmission lever from returning to closed
position, cable adjustment will be necessary.

1. Turn ignition switch to OFF position. 2. Remove air cleaner if necessary. 3. Disconnect cable
end (3) from attachment stud on throttle lever (1). Carefully slide cable off stud. Do not pry or pull
cable off. 4. Verify that transmission throttle lever is in fully closed position. Then be sure lever on
throttle body is at curb idle position. 5. Pry the T.V. cable lock (A) into the UP position. This will
unlock the cable and allow for readjustment. 6. Apply just enough tension on the T.V. cable (B) to
remove any slack in the cable. Pulling too tight will cause the T.V. lever on the
transmission to move out of its idle position, which will result in an incorrect T.V. cable adjustment.
Slide the sheath of the T.V. cable (D) back and forth until the centerlines of the T.V. cable end (B)
and the throttle bell crank lever (C) are aligned within one millimeter (1mm).
7. While holding the T.V. cable in the set position push the T.V. cable lock (A) into the down
position. This will lock the present T.V. cable
adjustment.
NOTE: Be sure that as the cable is pulled forward and centered on the throttle lever stud, the cable
housing moves smoothly with the cable. Due to the angle at which the cable housing enters the
spring housing, the cable housing may bind slightly and create an incorrect adjustment.
8. Reconnect the T.V. cable (B) to the throttle bellcrank lever (C). 9. Check cable adjustment. Verify
transmission throttle lever and lever on throttle body move simultaneously.

Torque Converter: Description and Operation 42RLE Automatic Transmission
Description
DESCRIPTION
The torque converter is a hydraulic device that couples the engine crankshaft to the transmission.
The torque converter consists of an outer shell with an internal turbine (1), a stator (4), an
overrunning clutch, an impeller (2) and an electronically applied converter clutch (6). The converter
clutch provides reduced engine speed and greater fuel economy when engaged. Clutch
engagement also provides reduced transmission fluid temperatures. The torque converter hub
drives the transmission oil (fluid) pump.
The torque converter is a sealed, welded unit that is not repairable and is serviced as an assembly.
CAUTION: The torque converter must be replaced if a transmission failure resulted in large
amounts of metal or fiber contamination in the fluid.

Impeller
The impeller is an integral part of the converter housing. The impeller consists of curved blades
placed radially along the inside of the housing on the transmission side of the converter. As the
converter housing is rotated by the engine, so is the impeller, because they are one and the same
and are the driving members of the system.

Turbine
The turbine is the output, or driven, member of the converter. The turbine is mounted within the
housing opposite the impeller, but is not attached to the housing. The input shaft is inserted
through the center of the impeller and splined into the turbine. The design of the turbine is similar to
the impeller, except the blades of the turbine are curved in the opposite direction.

The stator assembly is mounted on a stationary shaft which is an integral part of the oil pump. The
stator (1) is located between the impeller (2) and the turbine (4) within the torque converter case.
The stator contains an over-running clutch (1-4), which allows the stator to rotate only in a
clockwise direction. When the stator is locked against the over-running clutch, the torque
multiplication feature of the torque converter is operational.
TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH (TCC)
The TCC was installed to improve the efficiency of the torque converter that is lost to the slippage
of the fluid coupling. Although the fluid coupling provides smooth, shock-free power transfer, it is
natural for all fluid couplings to slip. If the impeller (3) and turbine (5) were mechanically locked
together, a zero slippage condition could be obtained. A hydraulic piston (6) with friction material
(7) was added to the turbine assembly (5) to provide this mechanical lock-up.
In order to reduce heat build-up in the transmission and buffer the powertrain against torsional
vibrations, the TCM can duty cycle the L/R-CC Solenoid to achieve a smooth application of the
torque converter clutch. This function, referred to as Electronically Modulated Converter Clutch
(EMCC) can occur at various times depending on the following variables:
- Shift lever position
- Current gear range
- Transmission fluid temperature
- Engine coolant temperature
- Input speed
- Throttle angle
- Engine speed

The converter impeller (driving member), which is integral to the converter housing and bolted to
the engine drive plate, rotates at engine speed. The converter turbine (driven member), which
reacts from fluid pressure generated by the impeller, rotates and turns the transmission input shaft.
Torque Converter Fluid Operation - Typical
TURBINE
As the fluid that was put into motion by the impeller blades strikes the blades of the turbine, some
of the energy and rotational force is transferred into the turbine and the input shaft. This causes
both of them (turbine and input shaft) to rotate in a clockwise direction following the impeller. As the
fluid is leaving the trailing edges of the turbine's blades it continues in a "hindering" direction back
toward the impeller. If the fluid is not redirected before it strikes the impeller, it will strike the
impeller in such a direction that it would tend to slow it down.
STATOR
Torque multiplication is achieved by locking the stator's over-running clutch to its shaft. Under stall
conditions (the turbine is stationary), the oil leaving the turbine blades strikes the face of the stator
blades and tries to rotate them in a counterclockwise direction. When this happens the
over-running clutch of the stator locks and holds the stator from rotating. With the stator locked, the
oil strikes the stator blades and is redirected into a "helping" direction before it enters the impeller.
This circulation of oil from impeller to turbine, turbine to stator, and stator to impeller, can produce a
maximum torque multiplication of about 2.4:1. As the turbine begins to match the speed of the
impeller, the fluid that was hitting the stator in such as way as to cause it to lock-up is no longer
doing so. In this condition of operation, the stator begins to free wheel and the converter acts as a
fluid coupling.

Stator Operation
TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH (TCC)
In a standard torque converter, the impeller and turbine are rotating at about the same speed and
the stator is freewheeling, providing no torque multiplication. By applying the turbine's piston and
friction material to the front cover, a total converter engagement can be obtained. The result of this
engagement is a direct 1:1 mechanical link between the engine and the transmission.
The clutch can be engaged in second, third, fourth, and fifth (if applicable) gear ranges depending
on overdrive control switch position. If the overdrive control switch is in the normal ON position, the
clutch will engage after the shift to fourth gear. If the control switch is in the OFF position, the clutch
will engage after the shift to third gear.
The TCM controls the torque converter clutch via the L/R-CC Solenoid. There are four TCC
operational modes:
- No EMCC
- Partial EMCC
- Full EMCC
- Gradual-to-no EMCC
NO EMCC
Under No EMCC conditions, the L/R Solenoid is OFF. There are several conditions that can result
in NO EMCC operations. No EMCC can be initiated due to a fault in the transmission or because
the TCM does not see the need for EMCC under current driving conditions.
PARTIAL EMCC
Partial EMCC operation modulates the L/R Solenoid (duty cycle) to obtain partial torque converter
clutch application. Partial EMCC operation is maintained until Full EMCC is called for and actuated.
During Partial EMCC some slip does occur. Partial EMCC will usually occur at low speeds, low
load and light throttle situations.
FULL EMCC
During Full EMCC operation, the TCM increases the L/R Solenoid duty cycle to full ON after Partial
EMCC control brings the engine speed within the desired slip range of transmission input speed
relative to engine rpm.
GRADUAL-TO-NO EMCC
This operation is to soften the change from Full or Partial EMCC to No EMCC. This is done at
mid-throttle by slowly decreasing the L/R Solenoid duty cycle.

Impeller
The impeller is an integral part of the converter housing. The impeller consists of curved blades
placed radially along the inside of the housing on the transmission side of the converter. As the
converter housing is rotated by the engine, so is the impeller, because they are one and the same
and are the driving members of the system.

Turbine
The turbine is the output, or driven, member of the converter. The turbine is mounted within the
housing opposite the impeller, but is not attached to the housing. The input shaft is inserted
through the center of the impeller and splined into the turbine. The design of the turbine is similar to
the impeller, except the blades of the turbine are curved in the opposite direction.
STATOR
The stator assembly is mounted on a stationary shaft which is an integral part of the oil pump. The
stator contains an over-running clutch (1-4), which allows the stator to rotate only in a clockwise
direction. When the stator is locked against the over-running clutch, the torque multiplication
feature of the torque converter is operational.

The stator (1) is located between the impeller (2) and turbine (4) within the torque converter case.
TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH (TCC)
The TCC was installed to improve the efficiency of the torque converter that is lost to the slippage
of the fluid coupling. Although the fluid coupling provides smooth, shock-free power transfer, it is
natural for all fluid couplings to slip. If the impeller and turbine were mechanically locked together, a
zero slippage condition could be obtained. A hydraulic piston (6) was added to the turbine (5), and
a friction material (7) was added to the inside of the front cover (1) to provide this mechanical
lock-up.

Torque Converter Fluid Operation
The converter impeller (driving member), which is integral to the converter housing and bolted to
the engine drive plate, rotates at engine speed. The converter turbine (driven member), which
reacts from fluid pressure generated by the impeller, rotates and turns the transmission input shaft.
TURBINE
As the fluid that was put into motion by the impeller blades strikes the blades of the turbine, some
of the energy and rotational force is transferred into the turbine and the input shaft. This causes
both of them (turbine and input shaft) to rotate in a clockwise direction following the impeller. As the
fluid is leaving the trailing edges of the turbine's blades it continues in a "hindering" direction back
toward the impeller. If the fluid is not redirected before it strikes the impeller, it will strike the
impeller in a direction that would tend to slow it down.
STATOR
Stator Operation
Torque multiplication is achieved by locking the stator's over-running clutch to its shaft. Under stall
conditions the turbine is stationary and the oil leaving the turbine blades strikes the face of the
stator blades and tries to rotate them in a counterclockwise direction. When this happens the
overrunning

clutch of the stator locks and holds the stator from rotating. With the stator locked, the oil strikes the
stator blades (1) and is redirected into a "helping" direction before it enters the impeller. This
circulation of oil from impeller to turbine, turbine to stator, and stator to impeller, can produce a
maximum torque multiplication of about 1.75:1. As the turbine begins to match the speed of the
impeller, the fluid that was hitting the stator in such as way as to cause it to lock-up is no longer
doing so. In this condition of operation, the stator begins to free wheel and the converter acts as a
fluid coupling.
TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH (TCC)
The torque converter clutch is hydraulically applied or released when fluid is feed or vented from
the hydraulic circuit by the torque converter control (TCC) solenoid on the valve body. The torque
converter clutch is controlled by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The torque converter clutch
engages in FOURTH gear, and in THIRD gear under various conditions, such as when the O/D
switch is OFF, or when the vehicle is cruising on a level surface after the vehicle has warmed up.
The torque converter clutch can also be engaged in the MANUAL SECOND gear position if high
transmission temperatures are sensed by the PCM. The torque converter clutch may disengage
momentarily when an increase in engine load is sensed by the PCM, such as when the vehicle
begins to go uphill or the throttle pressure is increased.

Description
DESCRIPTION
The torque converter is a hydraulic device that couples the engine crankshaft to the transmission.
The torque converter consists of an outer shell with an lock-up damper (1), lock-up piston (3 ),
pump impeller (4), turbine runner (5), stator (6), and one-way clutch (7). The converter clutch
provides reduced engine speed and greater fuel economy when engaged. Clutch engagement also
provides reduced transmission fluid temperatures.
The torque converter is a sealed, welded unit that is not repairable and is serviced as an assembly.
CAUTION: The torque converter must be replaced if a transmission failure resulted in large
amounts of metal or fiber contamination in the fluid.

The stator assembly is mounted on a stationary shaft which is an integral part of the oil pump. The
stator (1) is located between the impeller (2) and the turbine (4) within the torque converter case.
The stator contains an one-way clutch (1-4), which allows the stator to rotate only in a clockwise

feature of the torque converter is operational.
Torque Converter Solenoid
In order to reduce heat build-up in the transmission and buffer the powertrain against torsional
vibrations, the TCM can duty cycle the Torque Converter Solenoid to achieve a smooth application
of the torque converter clutch. This function can occur at various times depending on the following
variables:
- Shift lever position
- Current gear range
- Transmission fluid temperature
- Engine coolant temperature
- Input speed
- Throttle angle
- Engine speed
Operation
OPERATION
The torque converter transmits engine torque to the transmission. When it is not locked up, it
transmits the torque by means of oil. When it is locked up, it transmits the torque by means of the
lockup piston.
The lockup damper is designed to soften the impact as the torque converter locks up.
The torque converter is a 3-element, single-stage, 2-phase type. The term 'single-stage' indicates
that there is 1 turbine runner (output element). The term '2-phase' indicates that the mechanism
works as a torque converter when the turbine runner is turning slowly relative to the pump impeller
and as a fluid coupling when the turbine runner is turning quickly relative to the pump impeller.

The torque converter activation pressure is not supplied between the converter front cover and

the lockup function is inactive.

stator blades and is redirected into a "helping" direction before it enters the impeller. This
circulation of oil from impeller to turbine, turbine to stator, and stator to impeller, can produce a
maximum torque multiplication of about 2.4:1. As the turbine begins to match the speed of the
impeller, the fluid that was hitting the stator in such as way as to cause it to lock-up is no longer
doing so. In this condition of operation, the stator begins to free wheel and the converter acts as a

Stator Operation
TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH (TCC)
In a standard torque converter, the impeller and turbine are rotating at about the same speed and
the stator is freewheeling, providing no torque multiplication. By applying the turbine's piston and
friction material to the front cover, a total converter engagement can be obtained. The result of this
engagement is a direct 1:1 mechanical link between the engine and the transmission.
The clutch can be engaged in second, third, fourth, fifth and, sixth gear ranges.

GAS ENGINES
The converter drainback check valve is located in the cooler outlet (pressure) line near the radiator
tank. The valve prevents fluid drainback when the vehicle is parked for lengthy periods. The valve
check ball is spring loaded and has an opening pressure of approximately 2 psi.
The valve is serviced as an assembly; it is not repairable. Do not clean the valve if restricted, or
contaminated by sludge, or debris. If the valve fails, or if a transmission malfunction occurs that
generates significant amounts of sludge and/or clutch particles and metal shavings, the valve must
be replaced.
If the valve is restricted, installed backwards, or in the wrong line, it will cause an transmission
overheating condition and possible transmission failure.
CAUTION: The drainback valve is a one-way flow device. It must be properly oriented in terms of
flow direction for the cooler to function properly. The valve must be installed in the pressure line.
Otherwise flow will be blocked and would cause an transmission overheating condition and
eventual transmission failure.

Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid: Description and Operation 42RLE Automatic Transmission
Description
DESCRIPTION
The Solenoid/Pressure Switch Assembly (1) is inside the transmission and mounted to the valve
body assembly. The assembly consists of four solenoids that control hydraulic pressure to the L/R,
2/4, OD, and UD friction elements (transmission clutches), and the torque converter clutch. The
reverse clutch is controlled by line pressure from the manual valve in the valve body. The solenoids
are contained within the Solenoid/Pressure Switch Assembly, and can only be serviced by
replacing the assembly.
The solenoid assembly also contains pressure switches that monitor and send hydraulic circuit
information to the TCM. Likewise, the pressure switches can only be service by replacing the
assembly.
Operation
OPERATION
SOLENOIDS
The solenoids receive electrical power from the Transmission Control Relay through a single wire.
The TCM energizes or operates the solenoids individually by grounding the return wire of the
solenoid needed. When a solenoid is energized, the solenoid valve shifts, and a fluid passage is
opened or closed (vented or applied), depending on its default operating state. The result is an
apply or release of a frictional element.
The 2/4 and UD solenoids are normally applied, which allows fluid to pass through in their relaxed
or "off" state. By design, this allows transmission limp-in (P,R,N,2) in the event of an electrical
failure.
The continuity of the solenoids and circuits are periodically tested. Each solenoid is turned on or off
depending on its current state. An inductive spike should be detected by the TCM during this test. If
no spike is detected, the circuit is tested again to verify the failure. In addition to the periodic
testing, the solenoid circuits are tested if a speed ratio or pressure switch error occurs.
PRESSURE SWITCHES
The TCM relies on three pressure switches to monitor fluid pressure in the L/R, 2/4, and OD
hydraulic circuits. The primary purpose of these switches is to help the TCM detect when clutch
circuit hydraulic failures occur. The range for the pressure switch closing and opening points is
11-23 psi. Typically the switch opening point will be approximately one psi lower than the closing
point. For example, a switch may close at 18 psi and open at 17 psi. The switches are continuously
monitored by the TCM for the correct states (open or closed) in each gear as shown in the
following chart:

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Torque Converter Clutch
Solenoid, A/T > Component Information > Description and Operation > 42RLE Automatic Transmission > Page 7475
A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set if the TCM senses any switch open or closed at the
wrong time in a given gear.
The TCM also tests the 2/4 and OD pressure switches when they are normally off (OD and 2/4 are
tested in 1st gear, OD in 2nd gear, and 2/4 in 3rd gear). The test simply verifies that they are
operational, by looking for a closed state when the corresponding element is applied. Immediately
after a shift into 1st, 2nd, or 3rd gear with the engine speed above 1000 rpm, the TCM momentarily
turns on element pressure to the 2/4 and/or OD clutch circuits to identify that the appropriate switch
has closed. If it doesn't close, it is tested again. If the switch fails to close the second time, the
appropriate Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set.

Description
DESCRIPTION
The transmission solenoid/TRS assembly is internal to the transmission and mounted on the valve
body assembly. The assembly consists of six solenoids that control hydraulic pressure to the six
friction elements (transmission clutches), and the torque converter clutch. The pressure control
solenoid is located on the side of the solenoid/TRS assembly. The solenoid/TRS assembly also
contains the Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) and five pressure switches that feed information to
the TCM.
Operation
OPERATION
SOLENOIDS
Solenoids are used to control the L/R, 2C, 4C, OD, and UD friction elements. The reverse clutch is
controlled by line pressure and the position of the manual valve in the valve body. All the solenoids
are contained within the Solenoid and Pressure Switch Assembly. The solenoid and pressure
switch assembly contains one additional solenoid, Multi-Select (MS), which serves primarily to
provide 2nd and 3rd gear limp-in operation.
The solenoids receive electrical power from the Transmission Control Relay through a single wire.
The TCM energizes or operates the solenoids individually by grounding the return wire of the
solenoid as necessary. When a solenoid is energized, the solenoid valve shifts, and a fluid
passage is opened or closed (vented or applied), depending on its default operating state. The
result is an apply or release of a frictional element.
The MS and UD solenoids are normally applied to allow transmission limp-in in the event of an
electrical failure.
The continuity of the solenoids and circuits are periodically tested. Each solenoid is turned on or off
depending on its current state. An inductive spike should be detected by the TCM during this test. If
no spike is detected, the circuit is tested again to verify the failure. In addition to the periodic
testing, the solenoid circuits are tested if a speed ratio or pressure switch error occurs.
PRESSURE SWITCHES
The TCM relies on five pressure switches to monitor fluid pressure in the L/R, 2C, 4C, UD, and OD
hydraulic circuits. The primary purpose of these switches is to help the TCM detect when clutch
circuit hydraulic failures occur. The switches close at 23 psi and open at 11 psi, and simply indicate
whether or not pressure exists. The switches are continuously monitored by the TCM for the
correct states (open or closed) in each gear as shown in the following charts and 545RFE

Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid: Description and Operation 68RFE Automatic Transmission
Description
DESCRIPTION
The transmission solenoid/TRS assembly is internal to the transmission and mounted on the valve
body assembly. The assembly consists of six solenoids that control hydraulic pressure to the six
friction elements (transmission clutches), and the torque converter clutch. The pressure control
solenoid is located on the side of the solenoid/TRS assembly. The solenoid/TRS assembly also
contains the Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) and five pressure switches that feed information to
the TCM.
Operation
OPERATION
SOLENOIDS
Solenoids are used to control the L/R, 2C, 4C, OD, and UD friction elements. The reverse clutch is
controlled by line pressure and the position of the manual valve in the valve body. All the solenoids
are contained within the Solenoid and Pressure Switch Assembly. The solenoid and pressure
switch assembly contains one additional solenoid, Multi-Select (MS), which serves primarily to
provide 3rd gear and reverse limp-in operation.
The TCM energizes or operates the solenoids individually by grounding the return wire of the
solenoid as necessary. When a solenoid is energized, the solenoid valve shifts, and a fluid
passage is opened or closed (vented or applied), depending on its default operating state. The
result is an apply or release of a frictional element.
The MS and UD solenoids are normally applied to allow transmission limp-in in the event of an
electrical failure.
The continuity of the solenoids and circuits are periodically tested. Each solenoid is turned on or off
depending on its current state. An inductive spike should be detected by the TCM during this test. If
no spike is detected, the circuit is tested again to verify the failure. In addition to the periodic
testing, the solenoid circuits are tested if a speed ratio or pressure switch error occurs.
PRESSURE SWITCHES
The TCM relies on five pressure switches to monitor fluid pressure in the L/R, 2C, 4C, UD, and OD
hydraulic circuits. The primary purpose of these switches is to help the TCM detect when clutch
circuit hydraulic failures occur. The switches close at 23 psi and open at 11 psi, and simply indicate
whether or not pressure exists. The switches are continuously monitored by the TCM for the
correct states (open or closed) in each gear as shown in the following charts and

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
All switches, components, and modules are shown in the at rest position with the doors closed and
the key removed from the ignition.
Components are shown two ways. A solid line around a component indicates that the component is
complete. A dashed line around the component indicates that the component is being shown is not
complete. Incomplete components have a reference number to indicate the page where the
component is shown complete.
It is important to realize that no attempt is made on the diagrams to represent components and
wiring as they appear on the vehicle. For example, a short piece of wire is treated the same as a
long one. In addition, switches and other components are shown as simply as possible, with regard
to function only.

any component with this symbol, comply with the following procedures to reduce the possibility of
electrostatic charge build up on the body and inadvertent discharge into the component. If it is not
known whether the part is ESD sensitive, assume that it is.
1. Always touch a known good ground before handling the part. This should be repeated while
handling the part and more frequently after sliding
across a seat, sitting down from a standing position, or walking a distance.
2. Avoid touching electrical terminals of the part, unless instructed to do so by a written procedure.
3. When using a voltmeter, be sure to connect the ground lead first. 4. Do not remove the part from
it's protective packing until it is time to install the part. 5. Before removing the part from it's
package, ground the package to a known good ground on the vehicle.

Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- Ohmmeter - Used to check the resistance between two points of a circuit. Low or no resistance in
a circuit means good continuity.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking resistance in these circuits use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
In addition, make sure the power is disconnected from the circuit. Circuits that are powered up by
the vehicle's electrical system can cause damage to the equipment and provide false readings.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Transmission Control
System Relay, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7507
- Probing Tools - These tools are used for probing terminals in connectors. Select the proper size
tool from Special Tool Package 6807, and insert the probing end (2) into the terminal being tested.
Use the other end of the tool (1) to insert the meter probe.
INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent electrical problems are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. It is also
possible for a sticking component or relay to cause a problem. Before condemning a component or
wiring assembly, check the following items.
- Connectors are fully seated
- Spread terminals, or terminal push out
- Terminals in the wiring assembly are fully seated into the connector/component and locked into
position
- Dirt or corrosion on the terminals. Any amount of corrosion or dirt could cause an intermittent
problem
- Damaged connector/component casing exposing the item to dirt or moisture
- Wire insulation that has rubbed through causing a short to ground
- Some or all of the wiring strands broken inside of the insulation
- Wiring broken inside of the insulation
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are six steps which can aid in the procedure. The
steps are listed and explained below. Always check for non-factory items added to the vehicle
before doing any diagnosis. If the vehicle is equipped with these items, disconnect them to verify
these add-on items are not the cause of the problem.
1. Verify the problem. 2. Verify any related symptoms. Do this by performing operational checks on
components that are in the same circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams. 3. Analyze the symptoms.
Use the wiring diagrams to determine what the circuit is doing, where the problem most likely is
occurring and where the
diagnosis will continue.
4. Isolate the problem area. 5. Repair the problem area. 6. Verify the proper operation. For this
step, check for proper operation of all items on the repaired circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams.

Transmission Mode Indicator - A/T: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
An electronic automatic transmission gear selector indicator is standard factory-installed equipment
on this vehicle. However, on vehicles not equipped with an optional automatic transmission, this
indicator is electronically disabled. The gear selector indicator information is displayed in an
electronic, blue-green Vacuum-Fluorescent Display (VFD) unit. This VFD unit is soldered onto the
cluster electronic circuit board and is visible through a window with a smoked clear lens located on
the lower edge of the speedometer dial face of the cluster overlay. The dark lens over the VFD
prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated.
The gear selector indicator displays the following characters from left to right: P, R, N, D, 2, and 1.
Each character appears in a blue-green color and at the same lighting level as the odometer
information. Respectively, these characters represent the PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL, DRIVE,
second gear, and first gear positions of the transmission gear selector lever on the steering
column. The indicator illuminates a rectangular box around the character that represents the
currently selected lever position.
During daylight hours (exterior lamps are OFF) the gear selector indicator is illuminated at full
brightness for clear visibility. At night (exterior lamps are ON), the indicator lighting level is adjusted
with the other cluster general illumination lamps using the panel lamps dimmer thumbwheel on the
headlamp switch. However, a PARADE mode position of the panel lamps dimmer thumbwheel
allows the indicator to be illuminated at full brightness if the exterior lamps are turned ON during
daylight hours.
The gear selector indicator is serviced as a unit with the VFD unit in the instrument cluster.

Transmission Mode Indicator - A/T: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The electronic gear selector indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator of the transmission
gear that has been selected with the automatic transmission gear selector lever. This indicator is
controlled by the instrument cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming. The cluster
circuitry automatically configures itself for the proper transmission type based upon the hard wired
transmission range sensor mux circuit input to the cluster.
The gear selector indicator information is displayed by the odometer/trip odometer Vacuum
Fluorescent Display (VFD) unit soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board, and
the VFD will not display the gear selector indicator information after the ignition switch is turned to
the OFF position. Each time the cluster is disconnected from battery current for more than about
five minutes, it must configure itself for the automatic transmission type that is in the vehicle once it
is reconnected to battery current. The instrument cluster circuitry configures the gear selector
indicator based upon the following inputs from the transmission range sensor:
- Open Circuit - If the cluster is configured for an automatic transmission and the transmission
range sensor mux circuit is open, the cluster circuitry controls the gear selector indicator display
based upon an electronic selected gear message received from the Transmission Control Module
(TCM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus. If the Transmission Range Sensor (TRS)
mux circuit is open and no electronic selected gear messages are received from the TCM within
two seconds, the instrument cluster circuitry will not display any gear selector position until the
condition is resolved or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Resolved Circuit - If the transmission range sensor mux circuit is resolved, the cluster circuitry
controls the gear selector indicator display based upon the resistance value of the hard wired input
from the TRS. If the cluster is configured for an automatic transmission with a TRS input and
detects a short to ground or an open in the TRS mux input, the instrument cluster circuitry will not
display any gear selector position in the VFD. The VFD display for the short-to-ground and open
circuit conditions will continue until the condition is resolved or until the ignition switch is turned to
the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the odometer/trip odometer
VFD will display all of its characters at once, then step through each character segment individually
during the VFD portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the VFD and the cluster control
circuitry.
On vehicles with a TCM, the TCM continually monitors the TRS, then sends the proper message to
the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment
Node/CCN). On vehicles without a TCM, the EMIC continually monitors the hard wired TRS
multiplexed input. On vehicles with a TCM, for proper diagnosis of the TRS, the TCM, the EMIC,
the CAN data bus or the electronic communication related to gear selector indicator operation a
diagnostic scan tool is required.

DESCRIPTION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) (2) is mounted to the top of the valve body inside the
transmission and can only be serviced by removing the valve body assembly. The electrical
connector extends through the transmission case.
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) has four switch contacts that monitor shift lever position
and send the information to the PCM.
Operation
OPERATION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) communicates shift lever position (SLP) to the TCM as a
combination of open and closed switches. Each shift lever position has an assigned combination of
switch states (open/closed) that the TCM receives from four sense circuits. The TCM interprets this
information and determines the appropriate transmission gear position and shift schedule.
Since there are four switches, there are 16 possible combinations of open and closed switches
(codes). Seven of these codes are related to gear position and three are recognized as "between
gear" codes. This results in six codes which should never occur. These are called "invalid" codes.
An invalid code will result in a DTC, and the TCM will then determine the shift lever position based
on pressure switch data. This allows reasonably normal transmission operation with a TRS failure.

The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) has five switch contact pins that:
- Determine shift lever position
- Supply ground to the Starter Relay in Park and Neutral only.
- Supply +12 V to the backup lamps in Reverse only.
The TRS also has an integrated temperature sensor (thermistor) that communicates transmission
temperature to the TCM and PCM.

Description
DESCRIPTION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) has 3 primary functions:
- Provide a PARK/NEUTRAL start signal to the engine controller and the starter relay.
- Turn the Back-up lamps on when the transmission is in REVERSE and the engine (ignition) is on.
- Provide a transmission range signal to the instrument cluster.
The sensor is mounted in the transmission housing near the valve body, just above the pan rail. It's
in the same position as the Park/Neutral switch on other transmissions. The TRS contacts a
cammed surface on the manual valve lever. The cammed surface translates the rotational motion
of the manual lever into the linear motion of the sensor. The cammed surface on the manual lever
is comprised of two parts controlling the TRS signal: The insulator portion contacts the switch
poppet when the manual lever is not in PARK or NEUTRAL. The manual lever itself contacts the
poppet when the lever is in PARK or NEUTRAL; providing a ground for the signal from the starter
relay and the appropriate engine controller.

As the switch moves through its linear motion contacts slide across a circuit board which changes
the resistance between the range sensing pins of the switch. A power supply on the instrument
cluster provides a regulated voltage signal to the switch. The return signal is decoded by the
cluster, which then controls the PRNDL display to correspond with the correct transmission range.
A bus message of transmission range is also sent by the cluster. In REVERSE range a second
contact set closes the circuit providing power to the reverse lamps.

Transmission Position Switch/Sensor: Testing and Inspection
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR (TRS)
NOTE: For all circuit identification in the following steps, Refer to the appropriate Wiring
Information.
1. Raise vehicle on suitable hoist. 2. Disconnect the vehicle's shift cable from the manual lever. 3.
With the manual lever in the PARK position (the PARK position is with the manual lever moved to
the full rearward position), measure the
resistance between the Park/Neutral Position Sense pin of the TRS and the transmission case. The
resistance should be less than 5 ohms.
4. With the manual lever in the NEUTRAL position (the NEUTRAL position is with the manual lever
moved two detents forward of the full
rearward position), measure the resistance between the Park/Neutral Position Sense pin of the
TRS and the transmission case. The resistance should be less than 5 ohms.
5. If the resistance is greater than 5 ohms in either of the previous steps, check for a dirty contact
between the tip of the TRS rod and the valve body
manual lever. If the contact is OK, replace the TRS.
6. With the manual lever in the REVERSE position (the REVERSE position is with the manual lever
moved one detent forward of the full rearward
position), measure the resistance between the Fused Ignition Switch Output and the Back-up Lamp
feed pins of the TRS. The resistance should be less than 5 ohms. If the resistance is greater than 5
ohms, replace the TRS.
7. With the manual lever in the PARK position (the PARK position is with the manual lever moved
to the full rearward position), measure the
resistance between the Transmission Range Sensor MUX and the Transmission Range Sensor 5V
Supply pins of the TRS. The resistance should be 522.2 ohms. If the resistance is not correct,
replace the TRS.
8. With the manual lever in the REVERSE position (the REVERSE position is with the manual lever
moved one detent forward of the full rearward
position), measure the resistance between the Transmission Range Sensor MUX and the
Transmission Range Sensor 5V Supply pins of the TRS. The resistance should be 206.2 ohms. If
the resistance is not correct, replace the TRS.
9. With the manual lever in the NEUTRAL position (the NEUTRAL position is with the manual lever
moved two detents forward of the full
rearward position), measure the resistance between the Transmission Range Sensor MUX and the
Transmission Range Sensor 5V Supply pins of the TRS. The resistance should be 108.6 ohms. If
the resistance is not correct, replace the TRS.
10. With the manual lever in the DRIVE position (the DRIVE position is with the manual lever
moved three detents forward of the full rearward
position), measure the resistance between the Transmission Range Sensor MUX and the
Transmission Range Sensor 5V Supply pins of the TRS. The resistance should be 59.9 ohms. If
the resistance is not correct, replace the TRS.
11. With the manual lever in the SECOND position (the SECOND position is with the manual lever
moved one detent rearward of the full forward
position), measure the resistance between the Transmission Range Sensor MUX and the Back-up
Lamp feed pins of the TRS. The resistance should be 31.9 ohms. If the resistance is not correct,
replace the TRS.
12. With the manual lever in the LOW position (the LOW position is with the manual lever moved to
the full forward position), measure the resistance
between the Transmission Range Sensor MUX and the Back-up Lamp feed pins of the TRS. The
resistance should be 13.7 ohms. If the resistance is not correct, replace the TRS.

Description
DESCRIPTION
The Input (1) and Output (2) Speed Sensors are two-wire magnetic pickup devices that generate
AC signals as rotation occurs. They are mounted in the left side of the transmission case and are
considered primary inputs to the Transmission Control Module (TCM).
Operation
OPERATION
The Input Speed Sensor provides information on how fast the input shaft is rotating. As the teeth of
the input clutch hub pass by the sensor coil, an AC voltage is generated and sent to the TCM. The
TCM interprets this information as input shaft rpm.
The Output Speed Sensor generates an AC signal in a similar fashion, though its coil is excited by
rotation of the rear planetary carrier lugs. The TCM interprets this information as output shaft rpm.
The TCM compares the input and output speed signals to determine the following:
- Transmission gear ratio
- Speed ratio error detection
- CVI calculation
The TCM also compares the input speed signal and the engine speed signal to determine the
following:
- Torque converter clutch slippage
- Torque converter element speed ratio

Description
DESCRIPTION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) is part of the solenoid module, which is mounted to the top
of the valve body inside the transmission.
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) has five switch contact pins that:
- Determine shift lever position
- Supply ground to the Starter Relay in Park and Neutral only.
- Supply +12 V to the backup lamps in Reverse only.
The TRS also has an integrated temperature sensor (thermistor) that communicates transmission
temperature to the TCM and PCM.
Operation
OPERATION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) communicates shift lever position to the TCM as a
combination of open and closed switches. Each shift lever position has an assigned combination of
switch states (open/closed) that the TCM receives from four sense circuits. The TCM interprets this
information and determines the appropriate transmission gear position and shift schedule.
There are many possible combinations of open and closed switches (codes). Seven of these
possible codes are related to gear position and five are recognized as "between gear" codes. This
results in many codes which should never occur. These are called "invalid" codes. An invalid code
will result in a DTC, and the TCM will then determine the shift lever position based on pressure
switch data. This allows reasonably normal transmission operation with a TRS failure.

- Determine shift lever position
- Supply ground to the Starter Relay in Park and Neutral only.
The TRS also has an integrated temperature sensor (thermistor) that communicates transmission
temperature to the TCM and PCM.
Operation
OPERATION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) communicates shift lever position to the TCM as a
combination of open and closed switches. Each shift lever position has an assigned combination of
switch states (open/closed) that the TCM receives from four sense circuits. The TCM interprets this
information and determines the appropriate transmission gear position and shift schedule.
There are many possible combinations of open and closed switches (codes). Five of these possible
codes correspond to valid gear position, there are two codes for the neutral position and three are
recognized as "between gear" codes. This results in many codes which should never occur. These
are called "invalid" codes. An invalid code will result in a DTC, and the TCM will then determine the
shift lever position based on pressure switch data. This allows reasonably normal transmission
operation with a TRS failure.

NOTE: See: Diagrams/Fluid Diagrams/42RLE Automatic Transmission Schematics and Diagrams
for a visual aid in determining valve location, operation and design.
THERMAL VALVE
The thermal valve (1) is a bi-metallic shudder valve that helps control the venting rate of oil
pressure in the underdrive clutch passage during release of the clutch. When the oil temperature is
approximately 20 degrees Fahrenheit or less, the valve is fully open to assist in venting oil past the
U1 orifice (2). At temperatures above 20 degrees, the valve starts to close and becomes fully
closed at approximately 140 degrees. The thermal valve is located in the transfer plate of the valve
body.

The regulator valve (9) controls hydraulic pressure in the transmission. It receives unregulated
pressure from the pump (6), which works against spring tension (8) to maintain oil at specific
pressures. A system of sleeves and ports allows the regulator valve to work at one of three
predetermined pressure levels. Regulated oil pressure is also referred to as "line pressure."
SOLENOID SWITCH VALVE

The solenoid switch valve controls line pressure from the LR/CC solenoid (4). In one position, it
allows the low/reverse clutch to be pressurized. In the other, it directs line pressure to the converter
control and converter clutch valves (7).
MANUAL VALVE
The manual valve (4) is operated by the mechanical shift linkage. Its primary responsibility is to
send line pressure to the appropriate hydraulic circuits and solenoids. The valve has three
operating ranges or positions.
CONVERTER CLUTCH SWITCH VALVE

The main responsibility of the converter clutch switch valve (10) is to control hydraulic pressure
applied to the front (off) side of the converter clutch piston. Line pressure from the regulator valve
(5) is fed to the torque converter regulator valve (8). The pressure is then directed to the converter
clutch switch valve (10) and to the front side of the converter clutch piston. This pressure pushes
the piston back and disengages the converter clutch.
CONVERTER CLUTCH CONTROL VALVE
The converter clutch control valve (5) controls the back (on) side of the torque converter clutch (1).
When the controller energizes or modulates the LR/CC solenoid to apply the converter clutch
piston, both the converter clutch control valve (5) and the converter control valve move, allowing
pressure to be applied to the back side of the clutch.
T/C REGULATOR VALVE
The torque converter regulator valve slightly regulates the flow of fluid to the torque converter.
LOW/REVERSE SWITCH VALVE

The low/reverse clutch is applied from different sources, depending on whether low (1st) gear or
reverse is selected. The low/reverse switch valve alternates positions depending on from which
direction fluid pressure is applied. By design, when the valve is shifted by fluid pressure from one
channel, the opposing channel is blocked. The switch valve alienates the possibility of a sticking
ball check, thus providing consistent application of the low/reverse clutch under these operating
conditions.

SOLENOID SWITCH VALVE
The Solenoid Switch Valve (SSV) controls the direction of the transmission fluid when the L/R-TCC
solenoid is energized.
The Solenoid Switch Valve controls line pressure from the LR-TCC solenoid. In 1st gear, the SSV

fifth gears, the solenoid switch valve will be in the upshifted position and directs the fluid into the
torque converter clutch (TCC) circuit.
When shifting into 1st gear, a special hydraulic sequence is performed to ensure SSV movement
into the downshifted position. The L/R pressure switch is monitored to confirm SSV movement. If
the movement is not confirmed (the L/R pressure switch does not close), 2nd gear is substituted for
1st. A DTC will be set after three unsuccessful attempts are made to get into 1st gear in one given
key start.
MANUAL VALVE
The manual valve is a relay valve. The purpose of the manual valve is to direct fluid to the correct
circuit needed for a specific gear or driving range. The manual valve, as the name implies, is
manually operated by the driver with a lever located on the top of the valve body. The valve is
connected mechanically by a cable to the gearshift mechanism. The valve is held in each of its
positions by a roller detent spring (2) that engages the roostercomb of the TRS selector plate (1).

CHECK BALLS
REGULATOR VALVE
Regulator Valve in Park Position
The pressure regulator valve is needed to control the hydraulic pressure within the system and
reduce the amount of heat produced in the fluid. The pressure regulator valve is located in the
valve body near the manual valve. The pressure regulator valve train controls the maximum
pressure in the lines by metering the dumping of fluid back into the sump. Regulated pressure is
referred to as "line pressure."
The regulator valve has a spring on one end that pushes the valve to the left. This closes a dump
(vent) that is used to lower pressure. The closing of the dump will cause the oil pressure to
increase. Oil pressure on the opposite end of the valve pushes the valve to the right, opening the
dump and lowering oil pressure. The result is spring pressure working against oil pressure to
maintain the oil at specific pressures. With the engine running, fluid flows from the pump to the
pressure regulator valve, manual valve, and the interconnected circuits. As fluid is sent through
passages to the regulator valve, the pressure pushes the valve to the right against the large spring.
It is also sent to the reaction areas on the left side of the throttle pressure plug and the line
pressure plug. With the gear selector in the PARK position, fluid recirculates through the regulator
and manual valves back to the sump.

Component Information > Description and Operation > 42RLE Automatic Transmission > Page 7703
Regulator Valve in Neutral Position
Meanwhile, the torque converter is filled slowly. In all other gear positions, fluid flows between two
right side lands to the switch valve and torque converter. At low pump speeds, the flow is controlled
by the pressure valve groove to reduce pressure to the torque converter. After the torque converter
and switch valve fill with fluid, the switch valve becomes the controlling metering device for torque
converter pressure. The regulator valve then begins to control the line pressure for the other
transmission circuits. The balance of the fluid pressure pushing the valve to the right and the spring
pressure pushing to the left determines the size of the metering passage at land #2 (land #1 being
at the far right of the valve in the diagram). As fluid leaks past the land, it moves into a groove
connected to the filter or sump. As the land meters the fluid to the sump, it causes the pressure to
reduce and the spring decreases the size of the metering passage. When the size of the metering
passage is reduced, the pressure rises again and the size of the land is increased again. Pressure
is regulated by this constant balance of hydraulic and spring pressure.
Regulator Valve in Drive Position
The metering at land #2 establishes the line pressure throughout the transmission. It is varied
according to changes in throttle position and the transmission's internal condition within a range of
57-94 psi (except in REVERSE).
Dodge Ram 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (Truck V8-4.7L (2008))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Valve Body, A/T >
Component Information > Description and Operation > 42RLE Automatic Transmission > Page 7704
Regulator Valve in Reverse Position
The regulated line pressure in REVERSE is held at much higher pressures than in the other gear
positions: 145-280 psi. The higher pressure for REVERSE is achieved by the manual valve
blocking the supply of line pressure to the reaction area left of land #4. With this pressure blocked,
there is less area for pressure to act on to balance the force of the spring on the right. This allows
line pressure to push the valve train to the right, reducing the amount of fluid returned to the
pump's inlet, increasing line pressure.
KICKDOWN VALVE
Kickdown Valve - Wide Open Throttle
When the throttle valve is as far over to the left as it can go, the maximum line pressure possible
will enter the throttle pressure circuit. In this case, throttle pressure will equal line pressure. With
the kickdown valve pushed into the bore as far as it will go, fluid initially flows through the annular
Dodge Ram 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (Truck V8-4.7L (2008))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Valve Body, A/T >
Component Information > Description and Operation > 42RLE Automatic Transmission > Page 7705
groove of the 2-3 shift valve (which will be in the direct drive position to the right).
After passing the annular groove, the fluid is routed to the spring end of the 2-3 shift valve. Fluid
pressure reacting on the area of land #1 overcomes governor pressure, downshifting the 2-3 shift
valve into the kickdown, or second gear stage of operation. The valve is held in the kickdown
position by throttle pressure routed from a seated check ball (#2). Again, if vehicle speed is low
enough, throttle pressure will also push the 1-2 shift valve left to seat its governor plug, and
downshift to drive breakaway.
KICKDOWN LIMIT VALVE
Kickdown Limit Valve - Low Speeds
The purpose of the limit valve is to prevent a 3-2 downshift at higher speeds when a part-throttle
downshift is not desirable. At these higher speeds only a full throttle 3-2 downshift will occur. At low
road speeds the limit valve does not come into play and does not affect the downshifts.
Kickdown Limit Valve - High Speeds
As the vehicle's speed increases, the governor pressure also increases. The increased governor
pressure acts on the reaction area of the bottom land of the limit valve overcoming the spring force
trying to push the valve toward the bottom of its bore. This pushes the valve upward against the
spring and bottoms the valve against the top of the housing. With the valve bottomed against the
housing, the throttle pressure supplied to the valve will be closed off by the bottom land of the limit
valve. When the supply of throttle pressure has been shut off, the 3-2 part throttle downshift plug
becomes inoperative, because no pressure is acting on its reaction area.
1-2 SHIFT VALVE
1-2 Shift Valve - Before Shift
Dodge Ram 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (Truck V8-4.7L (2008))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Valve Body, A/T >
Component Information > Description and Operation > 42RLE Automatic Transmission > Page 7706
The 1-2 shift valve assembly, or mechanism, consists of: the 1-2 shift valve, governor plug, and a
spring on the end of the valve. After the manual valve has been placed into a forward gear range,
line pressure is directed to the 1-2 shift valve. As the throttle is depressed, throttle pressure is
applied to the right side of the 1-2 shift valve assembly. With throttle pressure applied to the right
side of the valve, there is now both spring pressure and throttle pressure acting on the valve,
holding it against the governor plug. As the vehicle begins to move and build speed, governor
pressure is created and is applied to the left of the valve at the governor plug.
1-2 Shift Valve - After Shift
When governor pressure builds to a point where it can overcome the combined force of the spring
and throttle pressure on the other side of the valve, the valve will begin to move over to the right.
As the valve moves to the right, the middle land of the valve will close off the circuit supplying the
throttle pressure to the right side of the valve. When the throttle pressure is closed off, the valve will
move even farther to the right, allowing line pressure to enter another circuit and energize the front
servo, applying the front band.
The governor plug serves a dual purpose:
- It allows the shift valves to move either left or right, allowing both upshifts and downshifts.
- When in a manual selection position, it will be hydraulically "blocked" into position so no upshift
can occur.
The physical blocking of the upshift while in the manual "1" position is accomplished by the
directing of line pressure between both lands of the governor plug. The line pressure reacts against
the larger land of the plug, pushing the plug back against the end plate overcoming governor
pressure. With the combination of the line pressure and spring pressure, the valve cannot move,
preventing any upshift.
1-2 SHIFT CONTROL VALVE
1-2 Shift Control Valve
It contains a valve with four lands and a spring. It is used as both a "relay" and "balanced" valve.
The valve has two specific operations:

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Valve Body, A/T >
Component Information > Description and Operation > 42RLE Automatic Transmission > Page 7707
- Aid in quality of the 1-2 upshift.
- Aid in the quality and timing of the 3-2 kickdown ranges.
When the manual valve is set to the DRIVE position and the transmission is in the first or second
gear range, 1-2 shift control or "modulated throttle pressure" is supplied to the middle of the
accumulator piston by the 1-2 shift control valve. During the 1-2 upshift, this pressure is used to
control the kickdown servo apply pressure that is needed to apply the kickdown and accumulator
pistons. Thus, the 1-2 shift point is "cushioned" and the quality is improved. During a WOT
kickdown, kickdown pressure is applied between the kickdown valve and the 1-2 shift control valve.
This additional pressure is directed to the 1-2 shift control's spring cavity, adding to the spring load
on the valve. The result of this increased "modulated" throttle pressure is a firmer WOT upshift.
2-3 SHIFT VALVE
2-3 Shift Valve - Before Shift
The 2-3 shift valve mechanism consists of the 2-3 shift valve, governor plug and spring, and a
throttle plug. After the 1-2 shift valve has completed its operation and applied the front band, line
pressure is directed to the 2-3 shift valve through the connecting passages from the 1-2 shift valve.
The line pressure will then dead-end at land #2 until the 2-3 valve is ready to make its shift. Now
that the vehicle is in motion and under acceleration, there is throttle pressure being applied to the
spring side of the valve and between lands #3 and #4.
2-3 Shift Valve - After Shift
As vehicle speed increases, governor pressure increases proportionately, until it becomes great
enough to overcome the combined throttle and spring pressure on the right side of the valve. Since
the throttle pressure end of the 2-3 shift valve is larger in diameter than the 1-2 shift valve, the 2-3
shift will always happen at a greater speed than the 1-2 shift. When this happens, the governor
plug is forced against the shift valve moving it to the right. The shift valve causes land #4 to close
the passage supplying throttle pressure to the 2-3 shift valve. Without throttle pressure present in
the circuit now, the

Component Information > Description and Operation > 42RLE Automatic Transmission > Page 7708
governor plug will push the valve over far enough to bottom the valve in its bore. This allows land
#2 to direct line pressure to the front clutch.
After the shift, line pressure is directed to the release side of the kickdown servo. This releases the
front band and applies the front clutch, shifting into third gear or direct drive. The rear clutch
remains applied, as it has been in the other gears. During a manual "1" or manual "2" gear
selection, line pressure is sent between the two lands of the 2-3 governor plug. This line pressure
at the governor plug locks the shift valve into the second gear position, preventing an upshift into
direct drive. The theory for the blocking of the valve is the same as that of the 1-2 shift valve.
If the manual "2" or manual "1" gear position is selected from the drive position, the PCM will
control the timing of the downshift by targeting for a high governor pressure. When a safe vehicle
speed is reached, the PCM will switch to its normal control governor curve and the downshift will
occur.
3-4 SHIFT VALVE
3-4 Shift Valve Before Shift
The PCM energizes the overdrive solenoid during the 3-4 upshift. This causes the solenoid check
ball to close the vent port allowing line pressure from the 2-3 shift valve to act directly on the 3-4
upshift valve.

Component Information > Description and Operation > 42RLE Automatic Transmission > Page 7709
3-4 Shift Valve After Shift
Line pressure on the 3-4 shift valve overcomes valve spring pressure moving the valve to the
upshift position. This action exposes the feed passages to the 3-4 timing valve, 3-4 quick fill valve,
3-4 accumulator, and ultimately to the overdrive piston.
3-4 TIMING VALVE
3-4 Shift Valve After Shift
The 3-4 timing valve is moved by line pressure coming through the 3-4 shift valve or the converter
clutch valve.

Component Information > Description and Operation > 42RLE Automatic Transmission > Page 7710
3-4 Shift Valve Before Shift
After the shift, the timing valve holds the 2-3 shift valve in an upshift position. The purpose is to
prevent the 2-3 valve from downshifting while either the overdrive clutch or converter clutch is
applied.
3-4 QUICK FILL VALVE
3-4 Shift Valve Before Shift
The 3-4 quick fill valve provides faster engagement of the overdrive clutch during 3-4 upshifts. The
valve temporarily bypasses the clutch piston feed orifice at the start of a 3-4 upshift.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Automatic Transmission/Transaxle > Valve Body, A/T >
Component Information > Description and Operation > 42RLE Automatic Transmission > Page 7711
3-4 Shift Valve After Shift
This exposes a larger passage into the piston retainer resulting in a much faster clutch fill and
apply sequence. The quick fill valve does not bypass the regular clutch feed orifice throughout the
3-4 upshift. Instead, once a predetermined pressure develops within the clutch, the valve closes
the bypass. Clutch fill is then completed through the regular feed orifice.
THROTTLE VALVE
Throttle Valve
In all gear positions, the throttle valve is being supplied with line pressure. The throttle valve meters
and reduces the line pressure that now becomes throttle pressure. The throttle valve is moved by a
spring and the kickdown valve, which is mechanically connected to the throttle. The larger the
throttle opening, the higher the throttle pressure (to a maximum of line pressure). The smaller the
throttle opening, the lower the throttle pressure (to a minimum of zero at idle). As engine speed
increases, the increase in pump speed increases pump output. The increase in pressure and
volume must be regulated to maintain the balance within the transmission. To do this, throttle
pressure is routed to the reaction area on the right side of the throttle pressure plug (in the
regulator valve).
The higher engine speed and line pressure would open the vent too far and reduce line pressure
too much. Throttle pressure, which increases with engine speed (throttle opening), is used to
oppose the movement of the pressure valve to help control the metering passage at the vent. The
throttle pressure is combined with spring pressure to reduce the force of the throttle pressure plug
on the pressure valve. The larger spring at the right closes the regulator valve passage and
maintains or increases line pressure. The increased line pressure works against the reaction area
of the line pressure plug and the
Dodge Ram 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (Truck V8-4.7L (2008))

Component Information > Description and Operation > 42RLE Automatic Transmission > Page 7712
reaction area left of land #3 simultaneously moves the regulator valve train to the right and controls
the metering passage.
The kickdown valve, along with the throttle valve, serve to delay upshifts until the correct vehicle
speed has been reached. It also controls downshifts upon driver demand, or increased engine
load. If these valves were not in place, the shift points would be at the same speed for all throttle
positions. The kickdown valve is actuated by a cam connected to the throttle. This is accomplished
through either a linkage or a cable. The cam forces the kickdown valve toward the throttle valve
compressing the spring between them and moving the throttle valve. As the throttle valve land
starts to uncover its port, line pressure is "metered" out into the circuits and viewed as throttle
pressure. This increased throttle pressure is metered out into the circuits it is applied to: the 1-2
and 2-3 shift valves. When the throttle pressure is high enough, a 3-2 downshift will occur. If the
vehicle speed is low enough, a 2-1 downshift will occur.
SWITCH VALVE
Switch Valve - Torque Converter Unlocked
When the transmission is in Drive Second before the TCC application occurs, the pressure
regulator valve is supplying torque converter pressure to the switch valve. The switch valve directs
this pressure through the transmission input shaft, into the converter, through the converter, back
out between the input shaft and the reaction shaft, and back up to the switch valve. From the
switch valve, the fluid pressure is directed to the transmission cooler, and lubrication pressure
returns from the cooler to lubricate different portions of the transmission.

Switch Valve - Torque Converter Locked
MANUAL VALVE
The manual valve is a relay valve. The purpose of the manual valve is to direct fluid to the correct
circuit needed for a specific gear or driving range. The manual valve, as the name implies, is
manually operated by the driver with a lever located on the side of the valve body. The valve is
connected mechanically by either a cable or linkage to the gearshift mechanism. The valve is held
in each of its positions by a spring-loaded roller or ball that engages the "roostercomb" of the
manual valve lever.
Manual Valve

Component Information > Description and Operation > 42RLE Automatic Transmission > Page 7714
Once the TCC control valve has moved to the right, line pressure is directed to the tip of the switch
valve, forcing the valve to the right. The switch valve now vents oil from the front of the piston in the
torque converter, and supplies line pressure to the (rear) apply side of the torque converter piston.
This pressure differential causes the piston to apply against the friction material, cutting off any
further flow of line pressure oil. After the switch valve is shuttled right allowing line pressure to
engage the TCC, torque converter pressure is directed past the switch valve into the transmission
cooler and lubrication circuits.
CONVERTER CLUTCH LOCK-UP VALVE
The torque converter clutch (TCC) lock-up valve controls the back (ON) side of the torque
converter clutch. When the PCM energizes the TCC solenoid to engage the converter clutch
piston, pressure is applied to the TCC lock-up valve which moves to the right and applies pressure
to the torque converter clutch.
CONVERTER CLUTCH LOCK-UP TIMING VALVE
The torque converter clutch (TCC) lock-up timing valve is there to block any 4-3 downshift until the
TCC is completely unlocked and the clutch is disengaged.
SHUTTLE VALVE
The assembly is contained in a bore in the valve body above the shift valves. When the manual
valve is positioned in the Drive range, throttle pressure acts on the throttle plug of the shuttle valve
to move it against a spring, increasing the spring force on the shuttle valve. During a part or full
throttle 1-2 upshift, the throttle plug is bottomed by throttle pressure, holding the shuttle valve to the
right against governor pressure, and opening a by-pass circuit. The shuttle valve controls the
quality of the kickdown shift by restricting the rate of fluid discharge from the front clutch and servo
release circuits. During a 3-2 kickdown, fluid discharges through the shuttle by-pass circuit. When
the shuttle valve closes the by-pass circuit, fluid discharge is restricted and controlled for the
application of the front band. During a 2-3 "lift foot" upshift, the shuttle valve by-passes the
restriction to allow full fluid flow through the by-pass groove for a faster release of the band.
BOOST VALVE
Boost Valve Before Lock-up
The boost valve provides increased fluid apply pressure to the overdrive clutch during 3-4 upshifts,
and when accelerating in fourth gear.

NOTE: Only the INNER accumulator seal ring actually seals the pressure in the bore. The outer
seal ring only serves to guide the piston in the bore. Gouges which do not extend past the inner
seal ring (and have no raised edges, which could damage the guide ring) are acceptable. The
machined accumulator bores often have a tiger-striped appearance. This is NORMAL and does
NOT require replacement, as long as the bores are smooth in the inner seal ring area.
Inspect all of the valve body mating surfaces for scratches, nicks, burrs, or distortion. Use a
straightedge to check surface flatness. Minor scratches may be removed with crocus cloth using
only very light pressure.
Minor distortion of a valve body mating surface may be corrected by smoothing the surface with a
sheet of crocus cloth. Position the crocus cloth on a surface plate, sheet of plate glass or equally
flat surface. If distortion is severe or any surfaces are heavily scored, the valve body will have to be
replaced.
Inspect the valves and plugs for scratches, burrs, nicks, or scores. Minor surface scratches on steel
valves and plugs can be removed with crocus cloth but do not round off the edges of the valve or
plug lands. Maintaining sharpness of these edges is vitally important. The edges prevent foreign
matter from lodging between the valves and plugs and the bore.
Inspect all the valve and plug bores in the valve body. Use a penlight to view the bore interiors.
Replace the valve body if any bores are distorted or scored. Inspect all of the valve body springs.
The springs must be free of distortion, warpage or broken coils.
Trial fit each valve and plug in its bore to check freedom of operation. When clean and dry, the
valves and plugs should drop freely into the bores.
Valve body bores do not change dimensionally with use. If the valve body functioned correctly
when new, it will continue to operate properly after cleaning and inspection. It should not be
necessary to replace a valve body assembly unless it is damaged in handling.
Inspect all the accumulator bores in the valve body. Use a penlight to view the bore interiors.

DISCUSSION:
Chrysler Group vehicle fluid systems do NOT require regular flushing. These systems include:
engine oil, transmission oil, axle lube, brake fluid, power steering fluid, and refrigerant. The only
exception to this requirement are published in the vehicle maintenance schedules, e.g. engine
coolant.
Exceptions to this recommendation include only those instances where a failure has occurred
and/or the system has become compromised, contaminated or overheated beyond the normal
operating range.
Chrysler Group does NOT recommend aftermarket chemicals to flush the engine, transmission,
brake or steering systems. Chemicals contained in these products can damage the system
elastomeric components, and contaminate the component fluid, leading to loss of
system/component durability and service life. When necessary, only the original approved system
fluid should be used to flush these components using teamPSE(R) approved equipment.
If the engine coolant contains a considerable amount of sediment, clean and flush with Mopar
Cooling System Flush, p/n 04856977, or equivalent. Follow with a thorough rinsing to remove all
deposits and chemicals. Refill with a minimum of a 50% mixture of the specified coolant and
distilled water.

DISCUSSION:
Chrysler Group vehicle fluid systems do NOT require regular flushing. These systems include:
engine oil, transmission oil, axle lube, brake fluid, power steering fluid, and refrigerant. The only
exception to this requirement are published in the vehicle maintenance schedules, e.g. engine
coolant.
Exceptions to this recommendation include only those instances where a failure has occurred
and/or the system has become compromised, contaminated or overheated beyond the normal
operating range.
Chrysler Group does NOT recommend aftermarket chemicals to flush the engine, transmission,
brake or steering systems. Chemicals contained in these products can damage the system
elastomeric components, and contaminate the component fluid, leading to loss of
system/component durability and service life. When necessary, only the original approved system
fluid should be used to flush these components using teamPSE(R) approved equipment.
If the engine coolant contains a considerable amount of sediment, clean and flush with Mopar
Cooling System Flush, p/n 04856977, or equivalent. Follow with a thorough rinsing to remove all
deposits and chemicals. Refill with a minimum of a 50% mixture of the specified coolant and
distilled water.

Drive/Propeller Shaft: Testing and Inspection
PROPELLER SHAFT
PROPELLER SHAFT VIBRATION
Out-of-round tires or wheels that are out of balance, will cause a low frequency vibration.
Driveline vibration can also be caused by loose or damaged engine mounts.
Propeller shaft vibration increases with vehicle speed. A vibration that occurs at a specific speed
range, is not usually caused by an out of balance propeller shaft. Defective universal joints or an
incorrect propeller shaft angle are usually the cause of such a vibration.
PROPELLER SHAFT BALANCE
If propeller shaft is suspected of being out of balance, use the following procedure.
NOTE: Indexing propeller shaft 180 degrees relative to the yoke may eliminate some vibrations.
1. Raise and support vehicle. 2. Clean all foreign material from the propeller shaft and universal
joints. 3. Inspect propeller shaft for missing balance weights, broken welds and bent areas. If
propeller shaft is bent, it must be replaced. 4. Inspect universal joints for wear and properly
installed. 5. Check propeller shaft bolt torques. 6. Remove wheels and install lug nuts to retain
brake rotors. 7. Mark and number the shaft six inches from the pinion yoke end at four positions 90
degrees apart. 8. Run and accelerate vehicle until vibration occurs. Note the intensity and speed
the vibration occurred. Stop the engine.

Shaft > Component Information > Specifications > Page 8109
9. Install a screw clamp at position (1).
10. Start engine and check vibration. If there is little or no change move the clamp to the next
positions. Repeat the vibration test.
NOTE: If there is no difference in vibration at this positions, the vibration may not be the propeller
shaft.
11. If vibration decreased, install a second clamp (1) and repeat the test.
12. If additional clamp causes an additional vibration, separate the clamps 1/2 inch (1) above and
below the mark. Repeat the vibration test. 13. Increase distance between the clamp screws (1) (2)
and repeat test, until the least amount of vibration is noticed. Bend the slack end of the clamps
so screws will not loosen.
14. If vibration remains unacceptable, repeat the procedure to the front end of the propeller shaft.
15. Install wheels and lower vehicle.

Propeller Shaft Angle
PROPELLER SHAFT ANGLE
ONE PIECE PROPELLER SHAFT
This procedure applies to front and rear propeller shafts.
NOTE: To obtain output angle (A) on the front propeller shaft equipped with a C/V joint, place
inclinometer on machined surface of the C/V joint.
1. Raise vehicle and support the axles as level as possible, allowing the wheels and propeller shaft
to turn. 2. Remove universal joint snap rings if equipped, so inclinometer base sits flat. 3. Rotate
shaft until transmission/transfer case output yoke bearing is facing downward.
NOTE: Always take measurements from front to rear and on the same side of the vehicle.
4. Place Inclinometer 7663 on yoke bearing cap or pinion flange ring parallel to the shaft. Center
bubble in sight glass and record measurement (A).
This measurement will give you the transmission yoke Output Angle (A).
5. Rotate propeller shaft 90 degrees and place Inclinometer on yoke bearing parallel to the shaft.
Center bubble in sight glass and record
measurement. This measurement can also be taken at the rear end of the shaft.

This measurement will give you the Propeller Shaft Angle (C).
6. Rotate propeller shaft 90 degrees and place inclinometer on companion flange yoke bearing
parallel to the shaft. Center bubble in sight glass and
record measurement.
This measurement will give you the pinion Companion Flange Input Angle (B).
7. Subtract smaller figure from larger (C minus A) to obtain Transmission/Transfer Case Output
Operating Angle. 8. Subtract smaller figure from larger (C minus B) to obtain axle Input Operating
Angle.
Refer to rules and example for additional information.
RULES
- Good cancellation of U-joint operating angles should be within 1 degree.

Flywheel: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION
STANDARD FLYWHEEL
The standard (3) is a heavy plate bolted to the rear of the crankshaft (1). The flywheel incorporates
the ring gear (2) around the outer circumference to mesh with the starter to permit engine cranking.
The rear face of the flywheel serves as the driving member to the clutch disc.
DUAL MASS FLYWHEEL
The Dual Mass Flywheel (1) is used on the Diesel engine with G56 transmission. The flywheel
incorporates the ring gear around the outer circumference to mesh with the starter to permit engine
cranking. The primary flywheel side is bolted to an adapter plate which is bolted to the crankshaft.
The secondary flywheel side (2) serves as the driving member to the clutch disc. Internal springs
(3) are used to dampen energy. The Dual Mass Flywheel is serviced as an assembly only and
should never be taken apart.

Flywheel: Testing and Inspection
FLYWHEEL
Check flywheel (3) runout whenever misalignment is suspected. Flywheel runout should not
exceed 0.08 mm (0.003 in.). Measure runout at the outer edge of the flywheel face with a dial
indicator. Mount the indicator on a stud installed in place of one of the flywheel bolts.
Common causes of runout are:
- heat warpage
- improper machining
- incorrect bolt tightening
- improper seating on crankshaft flange shoulder
- foreign material on crankshaft flange
Flywheel machining is not recommended. The flywheel clutch surface is machined to a unique
contour and machining will negate this feature. Minor flywheel scoring can be cleaned up by hand
with 180 grit emery or with surface grinding equipment. Remove only enough material to reduce
scoring (approximately 0.001 - 0.003 in.). Heavy stock removal is not recommended. Replace the
flywheel if scoring is severe and deeper than 0.076 mm (0.003 in.). Excessive stock removal can
result in flywheel cracking or warpage after installation; it can also weaken the flywheel and
interfere with proper clutch release.
Clean the crankshaft flange before mounting the flywheel. Dirt and grease on the flange surface
may cock the flywheel causing excessive runout. Use new bolts when remounting a flywheel and
secure the bolts with Mopar(TM) Lock And Seal or equivalent. Tighten flywheel bolts to specified
torque only. Overtightening can distort the flywheel hub causing runout.
On a Dual Mass Flywheel (1) inspect all springs (2) for damage.

Overdrive Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
An overdrive off indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. However, on vehicles
not equipped with an optional overdrive automatic transmission, this indicator is electronically
disabled. This indicator is located on the right side of the instrument cluster, to the right of the
coolant temperature gauge.
The overdrive off indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the text O/D OFF in the opaque layer
of the instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from
being clearly visible when it is not illuminated. An amber Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the
cutout in the opaque layer of the overlay causes the indicator to appear in amber through the
translucent outer layer of the overlay when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is
soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
When the exterior lighting is turned ON, the illumination intensity of the overdrive off indicator is
dimmable, which is adjusted along with the cluster general illumination lighting using the panel
lamps dimmer thumbwheel on the headlamp switch.
The overdrive off indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Overdrive Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The overdrive off indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the overdrive-OFF
position of the tow/haul switch has been selected, disabling the electronically controlled overdrive
feature of the automatic transmission. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument
cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received by the
cluster from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data
bus.
The overdrive off indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument
cluster logic circuit, and that logic will only allow this indicator to operate when the instrument
cluster receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit.
Therefore, the LED will always be OFF when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or
START. The LED only illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster
transistor. The instrument cluster will turn ON the overdrive off indicator for the following reasons:
- Overdrive Off Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic
overdrive off indicator lamp-ON message from the PCM indicating that the overdrive-OFF position
of the tow/haul switch has been selected, the indicator will be illuminated. The indicator remains
illuminated until the cluster receives a lamp-OFF message from the PCM, or until the ignition switch
is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the overdrive off indicator will
be turned ON, then OFF again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality
of the LED and the cluster control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the tow/haul switch to determine the proper outputs to the automatic
transmission. The PCM then sends the proper lamp-ON or lamp-OFF message to the
ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN).
For further diagnosis of the overdrive off indicator or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the
indicator, Refer to appropriate testing.
For proper diagnosis of the transmission control system, the PCM, the EMIC, the CAN data bus or
the electronic communication related to overdrive off indicator operation a diagnostic scan tool is
required. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Temperature Warning Indicator - A/T: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
A transmission over-temperature indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters.
However, on vehicles not equipped with an optional automatic transmission, this indicator is
electronically disabled. This indicator is located in the lower portion of the tachometer dial face in
the instrument cluster overlay.
The transmission over-temperature indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the International
Control and Display Symbol icon for Transmission Temperature in the opaque layer of the
instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being
clearly visible when it is not illuminated. A red Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the
opaque layer of the overlay causes the indicator to appear in red through the translucent outer
layer of the overlay when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the
instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
The transmission over-temperature indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Temperature Warning Indicator - A/T: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The transmission over-temperature indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the
transmission fluid temperature is excessive, which may lead to accelerated transmission
component wear or failure. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument cluster
circuit board based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received over the
Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
The transmission over-temperature indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by
the instrument cluster logic circuit, and that logic will only allow this indicator to operate when the
instrument cluster receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start)
circuit. Therefore, the LED will always be OFF when the ignition switch is in any position except ON
or START. The LED only illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster
transistor. The instrument cluster will turn ON the transmission over-temperature indicator for the
following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position the transmission
over-temperature indicator is illuminated for about two seconds as a bulb test.
- Trans Over-Temp Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic
trans over-temp indicator lamp-ON message from the PCM indicating that the transmission fluid
temperature is 135 °C (275 °F) or higher, the indicator will be illuminated and a single chime tone is
sounded. The indicator remains illuminated until the cluster receives a lamp-OFF message from
the PCM, or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first. The chime
tone feature will only repeat during the same ignition cycle if the indicator is cycled OFF and then
ON again by the appropriate lamp-ON and lamp-OFF messages from the PCM.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the transmission
over-temperature indicator will be turned ON, then OFF again during the bulb check portion of the
test to confirm the functionality of the LED and the cluster control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the transmission temperature sensor to determine the transmission
operating condition. The PCM then sends the proper lamp-ON or lamp-OFF message to the
ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN). If
the instrument cluster illuminates the transmission over-temperature indicator due to a high
transmission oil temperature condition, it may indicate that the transmission or the transmission
cooling system are being overloaded, or that they require service. For further diagnosis of the
transmission over-temperature indicator or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the LED,
Refer to appropriate testing.
For proper diagnosis of the transmission temperature sensor, the PCM, the EMIC, the CAN data
bus or the electronic communication related to transmission over-temperature indicator operation a
diagnostic scan tool is required. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Transmission Mode Indicator - A/T: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
An electronic automatic transmission gear selector indicator is standard factory-installed equipment
on this vehicle. However, on vehicles not equipped with an optional automatic transmission, this
indicator is electronically disabled. The gear selector indicator information is displayed in an
electronic, blue-green Vacuum-Fluorescent Display (VFD) unit. This VFD unit is soldered onto the
cluster electronic circuit board and is visible through a window with a smoked clear lens located on
the lower edge of the speedometer dial face of the cluster overlay. The dark lens over the VFD
prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated.
The gear selector indicator displays the following characters from left to right: P, R, N, D, 2, and 1.
Each character appears in a blue-green color and at the same lighting level as the odometer
information. Respectively, these characters represent the PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL, DRIVE,
second gear, and first gear positions of the transmission gear selector lever on the steering
column. The indicator illuminates a rectangular box around the character that represents the
currently selected lever position.
During daylight hours (exterior lamps are OFF) the gear selector indicator is illuminated at full
brightness for clear visibility. At night (exterior lamps are ON), the indicator lighting level is adjusted
with the other cluster general illumination lamps using the panel lamps dimmer thumbwheel on the
headlamp switch. However, a PARADE mode position of the panel lamps dimmer thumbwheel
allows the indicator to be illuminated at full brightness if the exterior lamps are turned ON during
daylight hours.
The gear selector indicator is serviced as a unit with the VFD unit in the instrument cluster.

Transmission Mode Indicator - A/T: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The electronic gear selector indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator of the transmission
gear that has been selected with the automatic transmission gear selector lever. This indicator is
controlled by the instrument cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming. The cluster
circuitry automatically configures itself for the proper transmission type based upon the hard wired
transmission range sensor mux circuit input to the cluster.
The gear selector indicator information is displayed by the odometer/trip odometer Vacuum
Fluorescent Display (VFD) unit soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board, and
the VFD will not display the gear selector indicator information after the ignition switch is turned to
the OFF position. Each time the cluster is disconnected from battery current for more than about
five minutes, it must configure itself for the automatic transmission type that is in the vehicle once it
is reconnected to battery current. The instrument cluster circuitry configures the gear selector
indicator based upon the following inputs from the transmission range sensor:
- Open Circuit - If the cluster is configured for an automatic transmission and the transmission
range sensor mux circuit is open, the cluster circuitry controls the gear selector indicator display
based upon an electronic selected gear message received from the Transmission Control Module
(TCM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus. If the Transmission Range Sensor (TRS)
mux circuit is open and no electronic selected gear messages are received from the TCM within
two seconds, the instrument cluster circuitry will not display any gear selector position until the
condition is resolved or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Resolved Circuit - If the transmission range sensor mux circuit is resolved, the cluster circuitry
controls the gear selector indicator display based upon the resistance value of the hard wired input
from the TRS. If the cluster is configured for an automatic transmission with a TRS input and
detects a short to ground or an open in the TRS mux input, the instrument cluster circuitry will not
display any gear selector position in the VFD. The VFD display for the short-to-ground and open
circuit conditions will continue until the condition is resolved or until the ignition switch is turned to
the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the odometer/trip odometer
VFD will display all of its characters at once, then step through each character segment individually
during the VFD portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the VFD and the cluster control
circuitry.
On vehicles with a TCM, the TCM continually monitors the TRS, then sends the proper message to
the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment
Node/CCN). On vehicles without a TCM, the EMIC continually monitors the hard wired TRS
multiplexed input. On vehicles with a TCM, for proper diagnosis of the TRS, the TCM, the EMIC,
the CAN data bus or the electronic communication related to gear selector indicator operation a
diagnostic scan tool is required.

4WD Auto Indicator
4WD AUTO INDICATOR
A 4WD auto indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. However, on vehicles not
equipped with the optional four-wheel drive system and electronically shifted transfer case, this
indicator is electronically disabled. The 4WD auto indicator is located on the right side of the
instrument cluster, to the right of the oil pressure gauge.
The 4WD auto indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the text 4WD AUTO in the opaque layer
of the instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from
being clearly visible when it is not illuminated. An amber Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the
cutout in the opaque layer of the overlay causes the indicator to appear in amber through the
translucent outer layer of the overlay when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is
soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
When the exterior lighting is turned ON, the illumination intensity of the 4WD auto indicator is
dimmable, which is adjusted along with the cluster general illumination lighting using the panel
lamps dimmer thumbwheel on the headlamp switch.
The 4WD auto indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Four Wheel Drive Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation Operation
4WD Auto Indicator
4WD AUTO INDICATOR
The 4WD auto indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the electronic transfer
case has been shifted into the 4WD auto mode. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the
instrument cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received
by the cluster from the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) over the Controller Area Network
(CAN) data bus.
The 4WD auto indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument
cluster logic circuit, and that logic will only allow this indicator to operate when the instrument
cluster receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit.
Therefore, the LED will always be OFF when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or
START. The LED only illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster
transistor. The instrument cluster will turn ON the 4WD auto indicator for the following reasons:
- 4WD Auto Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic 4WD auto
indicator lamp-ON message from the TIPM, the indicator will be illuminated. The indicator remains
illuminated until the cluster receives a lamp-OFF message from the TIPM, or until the ignition
switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the 4WD auto indicator will
be turned ON, then OFF again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality
of the LED and the cluster control circuitry.
The TIPM continually monitors the electronic transfer case through the transfer case shift
motor/mode sensor assembly to determine when the 4WD auto mode is engaged. The TIPM then
sends the proper lamp-ON or lamp-OFF message to the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster
(EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN). For further diagnosis of the 4WD auto
indicator or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the LED, Refer to appropriate testing.

Malfunction Indicator Lamp - Transfer Case: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The service 4WD indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the Totally Integrated
Power Module (TIPM) has recorded a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for an electronic transfer
case circuit or component malfunction. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument
cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received by the
cluster from the TIPM over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The service 4WD indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument
cluster logic circuit, and that logic will only allow this indicator to operate when the instrument
cluster receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit.
Therefore, the LED will always be OFF when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or
START. The LED only illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster
transistor. The instrument cluster will turn ON the service 4WD indicator for the following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position the service 4WD indicator is
illuminated for about two seconds as a bulb test.
- Service 4WD Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic service
4WD indicator lamp-ON message from the TIPM, the service 4WD indicator will be illuminated. The
indicator remains illuminated until the cluster receives a lamp-OFF message from the TIPM, or until
the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Communication Error - If the cluster receives no lamp-ON or lamp-OFF messages from the TIPM
for 10 seconds the service 4WD indicator is illuminated by the cluster to indicate a loss of TIPM
communication. The indicator remains controlled and illuminated by the cluster until a valid
message is received from the TIPM.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the service 4WD indicator
will be turned ON, then OFF again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the
functionality of the LED and the cluster control circuitry.
The TIPM continually monitors the electronic transfer case control circuits and transfer case shift
motor/mode sensor assembly to determine the condition of the system. The TIPM then sends the
proper lamp-ON or lamp-OFF message to the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also
known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN). For further diagnosis of the service 4WD indicator or
the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the LED, Refer to appropriate testing.
For proper diagnosis of the TIPM, the EMIC, the CAN data bus or the electronic communication
related to service 4WD indicator operation a diagnostic scan tool is required. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.

DISCUSSION:
Chrysler Group vehicle fluid systems do NOT require regular flushing. These systems include:
engine oil, transmission oil, axle lube, brake fluid, power steering fluid, and refrigerant. The only
exception to this requirement are published in the vehicle maintenance schedules, e.g. engine
coolant.
Exceptions to this recommendation include only those instances where a failure has occurred
and/or the system has become compromised, contaminated or overheated beyond the normal
operating range.
Chrysler Group does NOT recommend aftermarket chemicals to flush the engine, transmission,
brake or steering systems. Chemicals contained in these products can damage the system
elastomeric components, and contaminate the component fluid, leading to loss of

Control Module: Description and Operation Transmission Control Module - Operation
OPERATION
RLE and RFE TRANSMISSIONS
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) controls all electronic operations of the transmission. The
TCM receives information regarding vehicle operation from both direct and indirect inputs, and
selects the operational mode of the transmission. Direct inputs are hard wired to, and used
specifically by the TCM. Indirect inputs are shared with the TCM via the vehicle communication
bus.
Some examples of direct inputs to the TCM are:
- Battery (B+) voltage
- Ignition "ON" voltage
- Transmission Control Relay (Switched B+) (if equipped)
- Throttle Position Sensor
- Crankshaft Position Sensor
- Transmission Range Sensor
- Pressure Switches
- Transmission Temperature Sensor
- Input Shaft Speed Sensor
- Output Shaft Speed Sensor
- Line Pressure Sensor
Some examples of indirect inputs to the TCM are:
- Target Idle
- Torque Reduction Confirmation
- Engine Coolant Temperature
- Ambient/Battery Temperature
- Scan Tool Communication
Based on the information received from these various inputs, the TCM determines the appropriate
shift schedule and shift points, depending on the present operating conditions and driver demand.
This is possible through the control of various direct and indirect outputs.
Some examples of TCM direct outputs are:
- Transmission Control Relay
- Solenoids
- Torque Reduction Request
Some examples of TCM indirect outputs are:
- Transmission Temperature (to PCM)
- PRNDL Position (to cluster/CCN)
In addition to monitoring inputs and controlling outputs, the TCM has other important
responsibilities and functions:
- Storing and maintaining Clutch Volume Indexes (CVI)
- Storing and selecting appropriate Shift Schedules
- System self-diagnostics
- Diagnostic capabilities (with scan tool)
NOTE: If the TCM has been replaced, the "Quick Learn Procedure" must be performed. See:
Transmission Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Programming and Relearning/Transmission
Control Module/TCM Quick Learn
BATTERY FEED
A fused, direct battery feed to the TCM is used for continuous power. This battery voltage is
necessary to retain memory in the TCM. When the battery (B+) is disconnected, this memory is
lost. When the battery (B+) is restored, this memory loss is detected by the TCM and a Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) is set.
CLUTCH VOLUME INDEXES (CVI)

Module - Description > Page 8238
An important function of the TCM is to monitor Clutch Volume Indexes (CVI). CVIs represent the
volume of fluid needed to compress a clutch pack.
The TCM monitors gear ratio changes by monitoring the Input and Output Speed Sensors. The
Input, or Turbine Speed Sensor sends an electrical signal to the TCM that represents input shaft
rpm. The Output Speed Sensor provides the TCM with output shaft speed information.
By comparing the two inputs, the TCM can determine transmission gear position. This is important
to the CVI calculation because the TCM determines CVIs by monitoring how long it takes for a gear
change to occur.
Gear ratios can be determined by using the Scan Tool and reading the Input/Output Speed Sensor
values in the "Monitors" display. Gear ratio can be obtained by dividing the Input Speed Sensor
value by the Output Speed Sensor value.
For example, if the input shaft is rotating at 1000 rpm and the output shaft is rotating at 500 rpm,
then the TCM can determine that the gear ratio is 2:1. In direct drive (3rd gear), the gear ratio
changes to 1:1. The gear ratio changes as clutches are applied and released. By monitoring the
length of time it takes for the gear ratio to change following a shift request, the TCM can determine
the volume of fluid used to apply or release a friction element.
The volume of transmission fluid needed to apply the friction elements are continuously updated for
adaptive controls. As friction material wears, the volume of fluid need to apply the element
increases.
Certain mechanical problems within the input clutch assembly can cause inadequate or
out-of-range element volumes. Also, defective Input/Output Speed Sensors and wiring can cause
these conditions. The following charts identifies the appropriate clutch volumes and when they are
monitored/updated:

Module - Description > Page 8239
SHIFT SCHEDULES
As mentioned earlier, the TCM has programming that allows it to select a variety of shift schedules.
Shift schedule selection is dependent on the following:
- Shift lever position
- Throttle position
- Engine load
- Fluid temperature
- Software level
As driving conditions change, the TCM appropriately adjusts the shift schedule. Refer to the
following chart to determine the appropriate operation expected, depending on driving conditions.

AISIN AS68RC TRANSMISSION
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) controls all electronic operations of the transmission. The
TCM receives information regarding vehicle operation from both direct and indirect inputs, and
selects the operational mode of the transmission. Direct inputs are hard wired to, and used
specifically by the TCM. Indirect inputs are shared with the TCM via the vehicle communication
bus.
Some examples of direct inputs to the TCM are:
- Battery (B+) voltage
- Ignition "ON" voltage
- Transmission Range Sensor
- Pressure Switches
- Transmission Temperature Sensor
- Input Speed Sensor
- Output Speed Sensor
Some examples of indirect inputs to the TCM are:
- Engine/Body Identification
- Manifold Pressure
- Throttle position
- Torque Reduction Confirmation
- Engine Coolant Temperature
- Exhaust Brake Status (if equipped)
- PTO Request (if equipped)
- Scan Tool Communication
Based on the information received from these various inputs, the TCM determines the appropriate
shift schedule and shift points, depending on the present operating conditions and driver demand.
This is possible through the control of various direct and indirect outputs.
Some examples of TCM direct outputs are:
- Exhaust Brake Cut Request (if equipped).
- Solenoids.
- Torque Reduction Request.

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
All switches, components, and modules are shown in the at rest position with the doors closed and
the key removed from the ignition.
Components are shown two ways. A solid line around a component indicates that the component is
complete. A dashed line around the component indicates that the component is being shown is not
complete. Incomplete components have a reference number to indicate the page where the
component is shown complete.
It is important to realize that no attempt is made on the diagrams to represent components and
wiring as they appear on the vehicle. For example, a short piece of wire is treated the same as a
long one. In addition, switches and other components are shown as simply as possible, with regard
to function only.

CAUTION: Not all connectors are serviced. Some connectors are serviced only with a harness. A
typical example might be the Supplemental Restraint System connectors. Always check parts
availability before attempting a repair.
IDENTIFICATION
In-line connectors are identified by a number, as follows:
- In-line connectors located in the engine compartment are C100 series numbers.
- In-line connectors located in the instrument panel area are C200 series numbers.
- In-line connectors located in the body are C300 series numbers.
- Jumper harness connectors are C400 series numbers.
- Grounds and ground connectors are identified with a "G" and follow the same series numbering
as the in-line connectors.
- Splices are identified with an "S" and follow the same series numbering as the in-line connectors.
In addition, S001-S099 numbers are located in the engine compartment.
- Component connectors are identified by the component name instead of a number. Multiple
connectors on a component use a C1, C2, etc. identifier.

Transmission Control System Relay: Diagnostic Aids
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Sensitive Devices
STANDARD PROCEDURE - ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) SENSITIVE DEVICES
All ESD sensitive components are solid state and a symbol is used to indicate this. When handling
any component with this symbol, comply with the following procedures to reduce the possibility of
electrostatic charge build up on the body and inadvertent discharge into the component. If it is not
known whether the part is ESD sensitive, assume that it is.
1. Always touch a known good ground before handling the part. This should be repeated while
handling the part and more frequently after sliding
across a seat, sitting down from a standing position, or walking a distance.
2. Avoid touching electrical terminals of the part, unless instructed to do so by a written procedure.
3. When using a voltmeter, be sure to connect the ground lead first. 4. Do not remove the part from
it's protective packing until it is time to install the part. 5. Before removing the part from it's
package, ground the package to a known good ground on the vehicle.
Testing Of Voltage Potential
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TESTING OF VOLTAGE POTENTIAL
1. Connect the ground lead of a voltmeter to a known good ground. 2. Connect the other lead of
the voltmeter to the selected test point. The vehicle ignition may need to be turned ON to check
voltage. Refer to the
appropriate test procedure.

Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- Ohmmeter - Used to check the resistance between two points of a circuit. Low or no resistance in
a circuit means good continuity.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking resistance in these circuits use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
In addition, make sure the power is disconnected from the circuit. Circuits that are powered up by
the vehicle's electrical system can cause damage to the equipment and provide false readings.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Relays and Modules - Transmission and Drivetrain > Relays
and Modules - A/T > Transmission Control System Relay, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 8262
- Probing Tools - These tools are used for probing terminals in connectors. Select the proper size
tool from Special Tool Package 6807, and insert the probing end (2) into the terminal being tested.
Use the other end of the tool (1) to insert the meter probe.
INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent electrical problems are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. It is also
possible for a sticking component or relay to cause a problem. Before condemning a component or
wiring assembly, check the following items.
- Connectors are fully seated
- Spread terminals, or terminal push out
- Terminals in the wiring assembly are fully seated into the connector/component and locked into
position
- Dirt or corrosion on the terminals. Any amount of corrosion or dirt could cause an intermittent
problem
- Damaged connector/component casing exposing the item to dirt or moisture
- Wire insulation that has rubbed through causing a short to ground
- Some or all of the wiring strands broken inside of the insulation
- Wiring broken inside of the insulation
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are six steps which can aid in the procedure. The
steps are listed and explained below. Always check for non-factory items added to the vehicle
before doing any diagnosis. If the vehicle is equipped with these items, disconnect them to verify
these add-on items are not the cause of the problem.
1. Verify the problem. 2. Verify any related symptoms. Do this by performing operational checks on
components that are in the same circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams. 3. Analyze the symptoms.
Use the wiring diagrams to determine what the circuit is doing, where the problem most likely is
occurring and where the
diagnosis will continue.
4. Isolate the problem area. 5. Repair the problem area. 6. Verify the proper operation. For this
step, check for proper operation of all items on the repaired circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams.

Control Module: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM) functionality now resides in the Totally Integrated
Power Module (TIPM), refer to the TIPM information for location and additional information. The
TIPM controls the 4X4 transfer case shift functions via the actuation of a shift motor and utilizing
the feedback of a mode sensor assembly. Communication is via the CAN bus. Inputs include user
selectable 4X4 modes that include 2WD, AWD, 4HI, 4LO, and Neutral (selections vary with the
specific transfer case).

Control Module: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM) functionality in the Totally Integrated Power Module
(TIPM) utilizes the input from the transfer case mounted mode sensor, the instrument panel
mounted selector switch, and the following information from the vehicle's CAN bus to determine if a
shift is allowed.
- Engine RPM and Vehicle Speed
- Diagnostic Requests
- Manual Transmission and Brake Applied
- PRNDL
- Ignition Status
- ABS Messages
Once the TIP determines that a requested shift is allowed, it actuates the bi-directional shift motor
as necessary to achieve the desired transfer case operating mode. The TIPM also monitors the
mode sensor while controlling the shift motor to determine the status of the shift attempt.
Several items can cause the requested shift not to be completed. If the TIPM has recognized a
fault (DTC) of some variety, it will begin operation in one of four Functionality Levels. These levels
are:
- Level Zero - Normal Operation.
- Level One - Only Mode Shifts Are Allowed.
- Level Two - Only Mode Shifts and Shifts Into LOW Are Allowed (No Neutral Shifts Are Allowed).
- Level Three - No Shifts Are Allowed
The TIPM can also be operating in one of three possible power modes. These power modes are:
- Full Power Mode is the normal operational mode of the module. This mode is achieved by normal
CAN bus traffic being present and the ignition being in the RUN position.
Reduced Power Mode will be entered when the ignition has been powered off. In this state, the
module will shut down power supplied to external devices, and to electronic interface inputs and
outputs. From this state the module can enter either Sleep Mode or Full Power Mode. To enter this
mode, the module must receive an ignition message denoting that the ignition is off, or not receive
any messages for 5 ±0.5 seconds. To exit this mode, the module must receive one ignition
message that denotes that the ignition is in the RUN position.
- Sleep Mode will be entered, from the Reduced Power Mode, when no CAN traffic has been
sensed for 20 ±1 seconds. If during Sleep Mode the module detects CAN bus traffic, it will revert to
the Reduced Power mode while monitoring for ignition messages. It will remain in this state as long
as there is traffic other than run or start messages, and will return to Sleep mode if the bus goes
without traffic for 20 ±1 seconds.
SHIFT REQUIREMENTS
If the TIPM is in full power mode and at functionality level zero, it uses the following criteria to
determine if a shift is allowed.
If any of the driver controllable conditions are not met once the shift request is recognized, the
TIPM will solidly illuminate the source position's LED and flash the desired position's LED for all
shifts except NEUTRAL. The NEUTRAL shift LED strategy will be discussed later.
Mode shifts will be allowed regardless of transmission gear or vehicle speed, whenever the
following conditions are met:
- Front and rear wheel speed are within 21 km/h (13 mph).
- A change in the Selector switch state indicates that a mode shift has been requested.
- A valid mode sensor signal is being sensed by the TIPM.
- Proper transmit/receive messages are occurring on the CAN bus.
- Ignition key switch is in the RUN position.
Range shifts will be allowed only if all of the following conditions are met:
- Front and rear wheel speed are within 21 km/h (13 mph).
- A change in the Selector Switch state indicating a range shift has been requested.
- Transmission in NEUTRAL signal must be recognized for at least 1.5 seconds ±100 msec.
(Automatic transmissions only)
- Proper transmit/receive messages are occurring on the CAN bus.
- Clutch signal is recognized for 500 msec ± 50 msec (Manual transmissions only).
- Vehicle speed is less than or equal to 4.8 km/h (3 mph).
- Ignition key switch is in the RUN position.
- A valid mode sensor signal is being sensed by the TIPM.

and Modules - Transfer Case > Control Module, Transfer Case > Component Information > Description and Operation >
Description > Page 8287
A shift into transfer case Neutral will be allowed only if all of the following conditions are met:
- Front and rear wheel speed are within 21 km/h (13 mph).
- The recessed Neutral Selection switch has been depressed continuously for 4.0 seconds ±100
msec while all shift conditions have been continuously met.
- Transmission in NEUTRAL signal recognized from the bus. (Automatic transmissions only)
- Clutch signal is recognized from the bus (Manual transmissions only).
- Proper message transmissions/receptions are occurring on the CAN bus.
- Vehicle speed is less than or equal to 4.8 km/h (3 mph).
- Ignition key switch is in the RUN position, engine off.
- Foot Brake is applied.
- A valid mode sensor signal is being sensed by the TIPM.
A shift out of transfer case Neutral will be allowed only if all of the following conditions are met:
- Front and rear wheel speed are within 21 km/h (13 mph).
- The recessed Neutral Selection switch has been depressed continuously for 1.0 seconds ±100
msec while all shift conditions have been continuously met.
- Transmission in NEUTRAL signal recognized from the bus.(Automatic transmissions only)
- Clutch signal is recognized from the bus (Manual transmissions only).
- Proper message transmissions/receptions are occurring on the CAN bus.
- Vehicle speed is less than or equal to 4.8 km/h (3 mph).
- Ignition key switch is in the RUN position.
- Foot Brake is applied.
- A valid mode sensor signal is being sensed by the TIPM.
SHIFT SEQUENCES
Once all the driver controllable conditions for the requested shift have been met, the TIPM begins a
shift timer with a maximum duration of 1 second per 'D' channel transition. If the shift timer expires
before the TIPM recognizes to correct mode sensor code, the shift is considered to have been
blocked. The blocked shift will increment the blocked shift counter by one. The TIPM strategy for
handling blocked shifts will be described later. The process the TIPM performs for the various shifts
will be described first.
RANGE AND MODE SHIFTS
The process for performing all the range and mode shifts are the same. The following steps
describe the process.
- Allow time for Selector Switch debounce; 250 msec ±50 msec.
- Extinguish the source gear's LED while flashing desired transfer case position's LED.
- Engage the shift motor for a maximum of 1 second ±100 msec per 'D' channel transition in the
destination gear's direction while monitoring the mode sensor channel transitions.
- Disengage the shift motor when the correct mode sensor code is recognized.
- Solidly illuminate the selected gear's LED.
- Transmit a bus message that the transfer case shift is complete.
- If the desired mode sensor code is not received after the shift timer expires (ie. a blocked or other
condition exists), stop driving the motor and wait for 200 msec ±50 msec. The shift motor is then
reversed in the direction back toward the source gear for up to 1.0 seconds ±100 msec. per 'D'
channel. The TIPM waits for 2.0 seconds ±50 msec. and repeats the attempt to shift to the desired
position.
The exception to the preceding sequence is when a shift from 4L to 2WD/AWD is requested. If
2WD/AWD is requested from the 4L position, the transfer case is first driven to the 4H position. If
the 4H position is reached, the transfer case is then driven back to the 2WD/AWD position and the
shift is considered complete. If the transfer case does not reach any the 4H position, but is in the
2WD/AWD 'D' channel, or the 2WD/AWD between gear position on the 4H side of 2WD/AWD, the
shift is also considered complete.
SHIFT OUT OF NEUTRAL
The following steps describe the process for a shift out of NEUTRAL.
- Extinguish the Neutral LED.
- Engage the shift motor for a maximum of 1 second ±100 msec toward the transfer case 4H mode
position while monitoring the mode sensor channel transitions.
- Disengage the shift motor when the correct mode sensor code is recognized.
- Extinguish the Neutral LED.
- Transmit a bus message that the transfer case shift is complete.
- If the desired mode sensor code is not received after the shift timer expires (ie. a blocked or other
condition exists), stop driving the motor and wait for 200 msec ±50 msec. The shift motor is then
reversed in the direction back toward the source gear for up to 1.0 seconds 100 msec. The

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Relays and Modules - Transmission and Drivetrain > Relays
and Modules - Transfer Case > Control Module, Transfer Case > Component Information > Description and Operation >
Description > Page 8288
TIPM waits for 2.0 seconds ±50 msec. and repeats the attempt to shift to the desired position.
- When the Neutral button is released, if the 4H position is the desired position, the shift is
complete. Illuminate the 4H LED.
- Otherwise when the Neutral button is released, if all of the shift requirements are being met then
engage the shift motor towards the desired position for 1 second ±100 msec per 'D' channel. (if
requirements for shifting are not met, illuminate the 4H LED and flash the destination LED as an
indication to the driver that all of the driver controllable shift conditions are not being met). If this
requires another range or mode shift, begin the range/mode shift process.
- If the desired mode sensor code is not received after the shift timer expires (i.e. a blocked or other
condition exists), refer to the Blocked Shift Strategy.
BLOCKED SHIFT STRATEGY
When a shift is commanded, the shift motor will be driven towards its destination position, except in
the case of shifting out of Neutral if 4L was selected (the transfer case will shift to the 4H position
first, before proceeding to 4L). If the shift is blocked on the way to the destination, the TIPM may
attempt to drive the motor back to the original position. This process will be allowed to occur 5
times. If the transfer case has reached a non-NEUTRAL 'D' channel during the shift re-attempts,
the LED for the achieved gear position is illuminated and the shift attempts are stopped. To
re-attempt the desired shift, the selector switch will need to be rotated to the current position until
the switch debounce timer expires then a shift will need to be requested again.
At the end of the 5th blocked attempt, the shift motor is driven towards the last known 'D' channel
position. If this motor drive allows the transfer case to reach the 2WD/AWD 'D' channel, or the
2WD/AWD between gear position on the 4H side of 2WD/AWD, the shift is considered complete
and the shift attempts are ended.
If the mode sensor is in the NEUTRAL region at the expiration of the shift timer, the TIPM will
continue to make the shift attempts according to the blocked shift strategy independent of whether
or not the driver controlled conditions are met.
For shifts from NEUTRAL, if all 5 attempts fail to reach the desired position (which by default is
4H), the motor will be driven to stall in the direction of 4H or 4L, depending on the achieved
position. If the transfer case has reached the 2WD/AWD or 4L between gear position nearest the
NEUTRAL positions and the shift conditions are no longer being met, the transfer case will be
driven toward the corresponding 'D' channel. Otherwise, the transfer case will be driven in the
direction opposite the last attempt with the desired target being 4H or 4L.
If the transfer case reaches the 2WD/AWD 'D' channel when being driven in the 4H direction, then
one final 1.0 second drive toward 4H is attempted. If the transfer case then reaches any of the 4H
positions, the shift is considered complete and the 4H LED is illuminated. If the transfer case is still
the 2WD/AWD position, the shift is considered complete and the 2WD/AWD LED is illuminated.
NOTE: If after the 5th blocked shift and reversal attempt, if the transfer case position is in the
NEUTRAL region, shift attempts will continue until a non-NEUTRAL 'D' channel is reached.
SHIFT REVERSAL TARGETS
If the shift timer expires (1 second per 'D' channel) and the transfer case has not reached the
desired position, all shifts will attempt to return to their original position with the exceptions of:
- If the intended shift is going to the High rail from Low and can't make it, but it can make the
2WD/AWD position, the motor stops at that position. The TIPM will not attempt to cross back over
NEUTRAL if it does not have to. This means that there was a block on the first attempt to go to 4H
and the transfer case has made it through NEUTRAL to a known good position, then the motor will
go back only to the 2WD/4WD position and execute the remainder of the attempts from there.
- For shifts out of NEUTRAL, any time a shift is commanded out of NEUTRAL, the system needs to
get out. The TIPM should never go to NEUTRAL unless the driver is commanding it and all
required conditions are being met
ENCODER DRIFT CORRECTION
Whenever a shift is completed, the TIPM stores the position in memory as the transfer case's
intended position. The TIPM continuously monitors the mode sensor and if the mode sensor drifts
toward into a NEUTRAL region sensor position for 2.0 seconds, the TIPM will perform a motor
drive to correct the drift. The transfer case will be driven toward the intended position for 1.0
seconds 100 msec. The TIPM will wait for 2.0 seconds ±50 msec. and repeat the attempt to shift to
the desired position. This will continue until the intended position is reached.
SHIFT MOTOR BRAKING
Two modes of shift motor braking are employed to improve shift performance, static and dynamic.
Static shift motor braking is utilized under the following conditions:
- Whenever the transfer case is in the 2WD/AWD or 4L 'D' channel position.
- Whenever an invalid mode sensor code is present.
Static motor braking is achieved by applying +12V on both shift motor wires.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Relays and Modules - Transmission and Drivetrain > Relays
and Modules - Transfer Case > Control Module, Transfer Case > Component Information > Description and Operation >
Description > Page 8289
NOTE: Static Shift Motor Braking is independent of ignition key position.
SHIFT ATTEMPT LIMIT
To protect the transfer case system, the TIPM will impose a limit on the number of shifts that can
occur over a calibrated time period. The system will monitor the number of 'D' channel segment
transitions that occur in any 30 second time period. If the number of segment transitions is 30 or
greater, the system will go into a default mode. The default mode of operation for shifting is that the
number of allowed 'D' channel transitions permitted to occur will be 3 over each 15 second ±100
msec calibrated window of time. After 5 minutes ±100 msec, the motor can be assumed to have
cooled down and the system will revert to normal operation. The following rules also apply to the
shift limit:
- The attempt limit will not prevent shifts coming out of NEUTRAL, they will be allowed regardless
of the counter/timer.
- Any shift that is in progress when the counter reaches a maximum count in time will be allowed to
complete before the default mode is entered. D-channel transitions during this period will not be
counted towards the default mode limit.
- A block, regardless of the direction, whether towards destination or back towards reversal target
(shift timer expiring), will count as a value of 2 transitions towards the 30 segment transitions to go
into default mode as defined above. Current attempt limit values are 30 transitions in 30 seconds
and default mode values are 3 transitions every 15 seconds for 5 minutes.

Fluid Pressure Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation 42RLE Automatic Transmission
Description
DESCRIPTION
The line pressure sensor (2) is mounted on the top of the valve body, next to the pressure control
solenoid (1).
The TCM utilizes a closed-loop system to control transmission line pressure. The system contains
a variable force style solenoid, the Pressure Control Solenoid. The solenoid is duty cycle controlled
by the TCM to vent the unnecessary line pressure supplied by the oil pump back to the sump. The
system also contains a variable pressure style sensor, the Line Pressure Sensor, which is a direct
input to the TCM. The line pressure solenoid monitors the transmission line pressure and
completes the feedback loop to the TCM. The TCM uses this information to adjust its control of the
pressure control solenoid to achieve the desired line pressure.
Operation
OPERATION
The TCM calculates the desired line pressure based upon inputs from the transmission and engine.
The TCM calculates the torque input to the transmission and uses that information as the primary
input to the calculation. The line pressure is set to a predetermined value during shifts and when
the transmission is in the PARK and NEUTRAL positions. This is done to ensure consistent shift
quality. During all other operation, the actual line pressure is compared to the desired line pressure
and adjustments are made to the pressure control solenoid duty cycle.

Shift Solenoid Position Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The transmission solenoid/TRS assembly is internal to the transmission and mounted on the valve
body assembly. The assembly consists of six solenoids that control hydraulic pressure to the six
friction elements (transmission clutches), and the torque converter clutch. The pressure control
solenoid is located on the side of the solenoid/TRS assembly. The solenoid/TRS assembly also
contains the Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) and five pressure switches that feed information to
the TCM.

Shift Solenoid Position Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
SOLENOIDS
Solenoids are used to control the L/R, 2C, 4C, OD, and UD friction elements. The reverse clutch is
controlled by line pressure and the position of the manual valve in the valve body. All the solenoids
are contained within the Solenoid and Pressure Switch Assembly. The solenoid and pressure
switch assembly contains one additional solenoid, Multi-Select (MS), which serves primarily to
provide 2nd and 3rd gear limp-in operation.
The solenoids receive electrical power from the Transmission Control Relay through a single wire.
The TCM energizes or operates the solenoids individually by grounding the return wire of the
solenoid as necessary. When a solenoid is energized, the solenoid valve shifts, and a fluid
passage is opened or closed (vented or applied), depending on its default operating state. The
result is an apply or release of a frictional element.
The MS and UD solenoids are normally applied to allow transmission limp-in in the event of an
electrical failure.
The continuity of the solenoids and circuits are periodically tested. Each solenoid is turned on or off
depending on its current state. An inductive spike should be detected by the TCM during this test. If
no spike is detected, the circuit is tested again to verify the failure. In addition to the periodic
testing, the solenoid circuits are tested if a speed ratio or pressure switch error occurs.
PRESSURE SWITCHES
The TCM relies on five pressure switches to monitor fluid pressure in the L/R, 2C, 4C, UD, and OD
hydraulic circuits. The primary purpose of these switches is to help the TCM detect when clutch
circuit hydraulic failures occur. The switches close at 23 psi and open at 11 psi, and simply indicate
whether or not pressure exists. The switches are continuously monitored by the TCM for the
correct states (open or closed) in each gear as shown in the following charts and 545RFE
PRESSURE SWITCH STATES:
A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set if the TCM senses any switch open or closed at the
wrong time in a given gear.

Transmission Position Switch/Sensor: Description and Operation 42RLE Automatic Transmission
Description
DESCRIPTION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) (2) is mounted to the top of the valve body inside the
transmission and can only be serviced by removing the valve body assembly. The electrical
connector extends through the transmission case.
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) has four switch contacts that monitor shift lever position
and send the information to the PCM.
Operation
OPERATION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) communicates shift lever position (SLP) to the TCM as a
combination of open and closed switches. Each shift lever position has an assigned combination of
switch states (open/closed) that the TCM receives from four sense circuits. The TCM interprets this
information and determines the appropriate transmission gear position and shift schedule.
Since there are four switches, there are 16 possible combinations of open and closed switches
(codes). Seven of these codes are related to gear position and three are recognized as "between
gear" codes. This results in six codes which should never occur. These are called "invalid" codes.
An invalid code will result in a DTC, and the TCM will then determine the shift lever position based
on pressure switch data. This allows reasonably normal transmission operation with a TRS failure.

Description
DESCRIPTION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) is part of the solenoid module, which is mounted to the top
of the valve body inside the transmission.
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) has five switch contact pins that:
- Determine shift lever position
- Supply ground to the Starter Relay in Park and Neutral only.
- Supply +12 V to the backup lamps in Reverse only.
The TRS also has an integrated temperature sensor (thermistor) that communicates transmission
temperature to the TCM and PCM.

Transmission Position Switch/Sensor: Description and Operation 48RE Automatic Transmission
Description
DESCRIPTION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) has 3 primary functions:
- Provide a PARK/NEUTRAL start signal to the engine controller and the starter relay.
- Turn the Back-up lamps on when the transmission is in REVERSE and the engine (ignition) is on.
- Provide a transmission range signal to the instrument cluster.
The sensor is mounted in the transmission housing near the valve body, just above the pan rail. It's
in the same position as the Park/Neutral switch on other transmissions. The TRS contacts a
cammed surface on the manual valve lever. The cammed surface translates the rotational motion
of the manual lever into the linear motion of the sensor. The cammed surface on the manual lever
is comprised of two parts controlling the TRS signal: The insulator portion contacts the switch
poppet when the manual lever is not in PARK or NEUTRAL. The manual lever itself contacts the
poppet when the lever is in PARK or NEUTRAL; providing a ground for the signal from the starter
relay and the appropriate engine controller.

As the switch moves through its linear motion contacts slide across a circuit board which changes
the resistance between the range sensing pins of the switch. A power supply on the instrument
cluster provides a regulated voltage signal to the switch. The return signal is decoded by the
cluster, which then controls the PRNDL display to correspond with the correct transmission range.
A bus message of transmission range is also sent by the cluster. In REVERSE range a second
contact set closes the circuit providing power to the reverse lamps.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR (TRS)
NOTE: For all circuit identification in the following steps, Refer to the appropriate Wiring
Information.
1. Raise vehicle on suitable hoist. 2. Disconnect the vehicle's shift cable from the manual lever. 3.
With the manual lever in the PARK position (the PARK position is with the manual lever moved to
the full rearward position), measure the
resistance between the Park/Neutral Position Sense pin of the TRS and the transmission case. The
resistance should be less than 5 ohms.
4. With the manual lever in the NEUTRAL position (the NEUTRAL position is with the manual lever
moved two detents forward of the full
rearward position), measure the resistance between the Park/Neutral Position Sense pin of the
TRS and the transmission case. The resistance should be less than 5 ohms.
5. If the resistance is greater than 5 ohms in either of the previous steps, check for a dirty contact
between the tip of the TRS rod and the valve body
manual lever. If the contact is OK, replace the TRS.
6. With the manual lever in the REVERSE position (the REVERSE position is with the manual lever
moved one detent forward of the full rearward
position), measure the resistance between the Fused Ignition Switch Output and the Back-up Lamp
feed pins of the TRS. The resistance should be less than 5 ohms. If the resistance is greater than 5
ohms, replace the TRS.
7. With the manual lever in the PARK position (the PARK position is with the manual lever moved
to the full rearward position), measure the
resistance between the Transmission Range Sensor MUX and the Transmission Range Sensor 5V
Supply pins of the TRS. The resistance should be 522.2 ohms. If the resistance is not correct,
replace the TRS.
8. With the manual lever in the REVERSE position (the REVERSE position is with the manual lever
moved one detent forward of the full rearward
position), measure the resistance between the Transmission Range Sensor MUX and the
Transmission Range Sensor 5V Supply pins of the TRS. The resistance should be 206.2 ohms. If
the resistance is not correct, replace the TRS.
9. With the manual lever in the NEUTRAL position (the NEUTRAL position is with the manual lever
moved two detents forward of the full
rearward position), measure the resistance between the Transmission Range Sensor MUX and the
Transmission Range Sensor 5V Supply pins of the TRS. The resistance should be 108.6 ohms. If
the resistance is not correct, replace the TRS.
10. With the manual lever in the DRIVE position (the DRIVE position is with the manual lever
moved three detents forward of the full rearward
position), measure the resistance between the Transmission Range Sensor MUX and the
Transmission Range Sensor 5V Supply pins of the TRS. The resistance should be 59.9 ohms. If
the resistance is not correct, replace the TRS.
11. With the manual lever in the SECOND position (the SECOND position is with the manual lever
moved one detent rearward of the full forward
position), measure the resistance between the Transmission Range Sensor MUX and the Back-up
Lamp feed pins of the TRS. The resistance should be 31.9 ohms. If the resistance is not correct,
replace the TRS.
12. With the manual lever in the LOW position (the LOW position is with the manual lever moved to
the full forward position), measure the resistance
between the Transmission Range Sensor MUX and the Back-up Lamp feed pins of the TRS. The
resistance should be 13.7 ohms. If the resistance is not correct, replace the TRS.

Transmission Speed Sensor: Description and Operation 42RLE Automatic Transmission
Description
DESCRIPTION
The Input (1) and Output (2) Speed Sensors are two-wire magnetic pickup devices that generate
AC signals as rotation occurs. They are mounted in the left side of the transmission case and are
considered primary inputs to the Transmission Control Module (TCM).
Operation
OPERATION
The Input Speed Sensor provides information on how fast the input shaft is rotating. As the teeth of
the input clutch hub pass by the sensor coil, an AC voltage is generated and sent to the TCM. The
TCM interprets this information as input shaft rpm.
The Output Speed Sensor generates an AC signal in a similar fashion, though its coil is excited by
rotation of the rear planetary carrier lugs. The TCM interprets this information as output shaft rpm.
The TCM compares the input and output speed signals to determine the following:
- Transmission gear ratio
- Speed ratio error detection
- CVI calculation
The TCM also compares the input speed signal and the engine speed signal to determine the
following:
- Torque converter clutch slippage
- Torque converter element speed ratio

The Input and Output Speed Sensors are two-wire magnetic pickup devices that generate AC
signals as rotation occurs. They are mounted in the left side of the transmission case and are
considered primary inputs to the Transmission Control Module (TCM).
Operation
OPERATION
The Input Speed Sensor provides information on how fast the input shaft is rotating. As the teeth of
the input clutch hub pass by the sensor coil, an AC voltage is generated and sent to the TCM. The
TCM interprets this information as input shaft rpm.
The Output Speed Sensor generates an AC signal in a similar fashion, though its coil is excited by
rotation of the park gear teeth. The TCM interprets this information as output shaft rpm.
The TCM compares the input and output speed signals to determine the following:
- Transmission gear ratio
- Speed ratio error detection
- CVI calculation
The TCM also compares the input speed signal and the engine speed signal to determine the
following:
- Torque converter clutch slippage
- Torque converter element speed ratio

Transmission
Description
DESCRIPTION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) is part of the solenoid module, which is mounted to the top
of the valve body inside the transmission.
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) has five switch contact pins that:
- Determine shift lever position
- Supply ground to the Starter Relay in Park and Neutral only.
- Supply +12 V to the backup lamps in Reverse only.
The TRS also has an integrated temperature sensor (thermistor) that communicates transmission
temperature to the TCM and PCM.
Operation
OPERATION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) communicates shift lever position to the TCM as a
combination of open and closed switches. Each shift lever position has an assigned combination of
switch states (open/closed) that the TCM receives from four sense circuits. The TCM interprets this
information and determines the appropriate transmission gear position and shift schedule.
There are many possible combinations of open and closed switches (codes). Seven of these
possible codes are related to gear position and five are recognized as "between gear" codes. This
results in many codes which should never occur. These are called "invalid" codes. An invalid code
will result in a DTC, and the TCM will then determine the shift lever position based on pressure
switch data. This allows reasonably normal transmission operation with a TRS failure.

Four Wheel Drive Selector Switch: Description and Operation NV243 Transfer Case
Description
DESCRIPTION
The selector switch assembly is mounted in the left side of the vehicle's Instrument Panel (IP) and
consists of a rotary knob connected to a resistive network for the mode and range shift selections.
Also located in this assembly is a recessed, normally open momentary switch for making shifts into
and out of transfer case NEUTRAL. A pen, or similar instrument, is used to make a NEUTRAL shift
selection, thus reducing the likelihood of an inadvertent shift request.
The selector switch also contains four light emitting diode's (LED's) to indicate the transfer case
position and whether a shift is in progress.
Operation
OPERATION
As the position of the selector switch varies, the resistance between the Mode Sensor supply
voltage pin and the Mode Sensor output will vary. Hardware, software, and calibrations within the
Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM) are provided that interpret the selector switch resistance as
given in the table below:
For resistances between the ranges B-E shown for each valid position (T-Case NEUTRAL, 4LO,
4HI, 2WD), the TCCM may interpret the resistance as:
- either of the neighboring valid positions.
- as an invalid fault position.
For resistances between the ranges E and F shown for 2WD and in-between positions, the TCCM
may interpret the resistance as:
- the 2WD position.
- an invalid fault position.
- a valid in-between position.
For resistances between the ranges F and G shown for in-between positions and fault condition
(open), the TCCM may interpret the resistance as:

- a valid in-between position.
- an invalid fault position.
For resistances between the ranges A and B shown for the fault condition (short) and T-Case
NEUTRAL, the TCCM may interpret the resistance as:
- the T-Case NEUTRAL position.
- an invalid fault position.
The LED's in the selector assembly are illuminated/flashed in the following manner to indicate a
particular condition or state.
- A solidly illuminated LED indicates a successfully completed shift and the current operating mode
of the transfer case. While a shift has been requested but not yet completed, the LED for the
desired transfer case position is flashed.
- A flashing operating mode LED for the desired gear indicates that a shift to that position has been
requested, but all of the driver controllable conditions have not been met. This is in an attempt to
notify the driver that the transmission needs to be put into NEUTRAL, the vehicle speed is too
great, or some other condition outlined (other than a diagnostic failure that would prevent this shift)
elsewhere See: Relays and Modules - Transmission and Drivetrain/Relays and Modules - Transfer
Case/Control Module/Description and Operation/Operation is not met. Note that this flashing will
continue indefinitely until the conditions are eventually met, or the selector switch position is
changed, or if diagnostic routines no longer allow the requested shift.
- If the driver attempts to make a shift into transfer case NEUTRAL, and any of the driver
controllable conditions are not met, the request will be ignored until all of the conditions are met or
until the NEUTRAL select button is released. Additionally the neutral lamp will flash, or begin to
flash while the button is depressed and operator controllable conditions are not being met. All of
the LED's except the Neutral will flash if any of the operator controllable conditions for shifting are
not met while the Neutral button is depressed. This "toggle" type of feature is necessary because
the TCCM would interpret another request immediately after the shift into transfer case NEUTRAL
has completed.
- No LED's illuminated indicate a fault in the transfer case control system.

Gear Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation NV244 GENII Transfer Case
Description
DESCRIPTION
The transfer case mode sensor is an electronic device whose output can be interpreted to indicate
the shift motor shaft's rotary position. The sensor consists of a magnetic ring and four Hall Effect
Transistors to create a 4 channel digital device (non-contacting) whose output converts the motor
shaft position into a coded signal. The TCCM must supply 5VDC (+/- 0.5v) to the sensor and
monitor the shift motor position. The four channels are denoted A, B, C, and D. The sensor is
mechanically linked to the shaft of the cam which causes the transfer case shifting. The mode
sensor draws less than 53 mA.
Operation
OPERATION
During normal vehicle operation, the Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM) monitors the mode
sensor outputs at least every 250 (+/-50) milliseconds when the shift motor is stationary and 400
microseconds when the shift motor is active. A mode sensor signal between 3.8 Volts and 0.8 Volts
is considered to be undefined.
Refer to SECTOR ANGLES vs.TRANSFER CASE POSITION for the relative angles of the transfer
case shift sector versus the interpreted transfer case gear operating mode. Refer to MODE
SENSOR CHANNEL STATES for the sensor codes returned to the TCCM for each transfer case
mode sensor position. The various between gears positions can also be referred as the transfer
case's coarse position. These coarse positions come into play during shift attempts.

Gear Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation NV271 Transfer Case
Description
DESCRIPTION
The transfer case position sensor is an electronic device whose output can be interpreted to
indicate the transfer case's current operating mode. The sensor consists of a five position, resistive
multiplexed circuit which returns a specific resistance value to the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) for each transfer case operating mode. The sensor is located on the top of the transfer
case, just left of the transfer case centerline and rides against the sector plate roostercomb. The
PCM supplies 5VDC (+/- 0.5V) to the sensor and monitors the return voltage to determine the
sector plate, and therefore the transfer case, position.
Operation
OPERATION
Position Sensor Linear Movement
During normal vehicle operation, the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitors the transfer case
position sensor return voltage to determine the operating mode of the transfer case. Refer to the
Operating Mode Versus Resistance table for the correct resistance for each position.

Control Module: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM) functionality now resides in the Totally Integrated
Power Module (TIPM), refer to the TIPM information for location and additional information. The
TIPM controls the 4X4 transfer case shift functions via the actuation of a shift motor and utilizing
the feedback of a mode sensor assembly. Communication is via the CAN bus. Inputs include user
selectable 4X4 modes that include 2WD, AWD, 4HI, 4LO, and Neutral (selections vary with the
specific transfer case).

Control Module: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM) functionality in the Totally Integrated Power Module
(TIPM) utilizes the input from the transfer case mounted mode sensor, the instrument panel
mounted selector switch, and the following information from the vehicle's CAN bus to determine if a
shift is allowed.
- Engine RPM and Vehicle Speed
- Diagnostic Requests
- Manual Transmission and Brake Applied
- PRNDL
- Ignition Status
- ABS Messages
Once the TIP determines that a requested shift is allowed, it actuates the bi-directional shift motor
as necessary to achieve the desired transfer case operating mode. The TIPM also monitors the
mode sensor while controlling the shift motor to determine the status of the shift attempt.
Several items can cause the requested shift not to be completed. If the TIPM has recognized a
fault (DTC) of some variety, it will begin operation in one of four Functionality Levels. These levels
are:
- Level Zero - Normal Operation.
- Level One - Only Mode Shifts Are Allowed.
- Level Two - Only Mode Shifts and Shifts Into LOW Are Allowed (No Neutral Shifts Are Allowed).
- Level Three - No Shifts Are Allowed
The TIPM can also be operating in one of three possible power modes. These power modes are:
- Full Power Mode is the normal operational mode of the module. This mode is achieved by normal
CAN bus traffic being present and the ignition being in the RUN position.
Reduced Power Mode will be entered when the ignition has been powered off. In this state, the
module will shut down power supplied to external devices, and to electronic interface inputs and
outputs. From this state the module can enter either Sleep Mode or Full Power Mode. To enter this
mode, the module must receive an ignition message denoting that the ignition is off, or not receive
any messages for 5 ±0.5 seconds. To exit this mode, the module must receive one ignition
message that denotes that the ignition is in the RUN position.
- Sleep Mode will be entered, from the Reduced Power Mode, when no CAN traffic has been
sensed for 20 ±1 seconds. If during Sleep Mode the module detects CAN bus traffic, it will revert to
the Reduced Power mode while monitoring for ignition messages. It will remain in this state as long
as there is traffic other than run or start messages, and will return to Sleep mode if the bus goes
without traffic for 20 ±1 seconds.
SHIFT REQUIREMENTS
If the TIPM is in full power mode and at functionality level zero, it uses the following criteria to
determine if a shift is allowed.
If any of the driver controllable conditions are not met once the shift request is recognized, the
TIPM will solidly illuminate the source position's LED and flash the desired position's LED for all
shifts except NEUTRAL. The NEUTRAL shift LED strategy will be discussed later.
Mode shifts will be allowed regardless of transmission gear or vehicle speed, whenever the
following conditions are met:
- Front and rear wheel speed are within 21 km/h (13 mph).
- A change in the Selector switch state indicates that a mode shift has been requested.
- A valid mode sensor signal is being sensed by the TIPM.
- Proper transmit/receive messages are occurring on the CAN bus.
- Ignition key switch is in the RUN position.
Range shifts will be allowed only if all of the following conditions are met:
- Front and rear wheel speed are within 21 km/h (13 mph).
- A change in the Selector Switch state indicating a range shift has been requested.
- Transmission in NEUTRAL signal must be recognized for at least 1.5 seconds ±100 msec.
(Automatic transmissions only)
- Proper transmit/receive messages are occurring on the CAN bus.
- Clutch signal is recognized for 500 msec ± 50 msec (Manual transmissions only).
- Vehicle speed is less than or equal to 4.8 km/h (3 mph).
- Ignition key switch is in the RUN position.
- A valid mode sensor signal is being sensed by the TIPM.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Transfer Case > Control Module, Transfer Case > Component
Information > Description and Operation > Description > Page 8629
A shift into transfer case Neutral will be allowed only if all of the following conditions are met:
- Front and rear wheel speed are within 21 km/h (13 mph).
- The recessed Neutral Selection switch has been depressed continuously for 4.0 seconds ±100
msec while all shift conditions have been continuously met.
- Transmission in NEUTRAL signal recognized from the bus. (Automatic transmissions only)
- Clutch signal is recognized from the bus (Manual transmissions only).
- Proper message transmissions/receptions are occurring on the CAN bus.
- Vehicle speed is less than or equal to 4.8 km/h (3 mph).
- Ignition key switch is in the RUN position, engine off.
- Foot Brake is applied.
- A valid mode sensor signal is being sensed by the TIPM.
A shift out of transfer case Neutral will be allowed only if all of the following conditions are met:
- Front and rear wheel speed are within 21 km/h (13 mph).
- The recessed Neutral Selection switch has been depressed continuously for 1.0 seconds ±100
msec while all shift conditions have been continuously met.
- Transmission in NEUTRAL signal recognized from the bus.(Automatic transmissions only)
- Clutch signal is recognized from the bus (Manual transmissions only).
- Proper message transmissions/receptions are occurring on the CAN bus.
- Vehicle speed is less than or equal to 4.8 km/h (3 mph).
- Ignition key switch is in the RUN position.
- Foot Brake is applied.
- A valid mode sensor signal is being sensed by the TIPM.
SHIFT SEQUENCES
Once all the driver controllable conditions for the requested shift have been met, the TIPM begins a
shift timer with a maximum duration of 1 second per 'D' channel transition. If the shift timer expires
before the TIPM recognizes to correct mode sensor code, the shift is considered to have been
blocked. The blocked shift will increment the blocked shift counter by one. The TIPM strategy for
handling blocked shifts will be described later. The process the TIPM performs for the various shifts
will be described first.
RANGE AND MODE SHIFTS
The process for performing all the range and mode shifts are the same. The following steps
describe the process.
- Allow time for Selector Switch debounce; 250 msec ±50 msec.
- Extinguish the source gear's LED while flashing desired transfer case position's LED.
- Engage the shift motor for a maximum of 1 second ±100 msec per 'D' channel transition in the
destination gear's direction while monitoring the mode sensor channel transitions.
- Disengage the shift motor when the correct mode sensor code is recognized.
- Solidly illuminate the selected gear's LED.
- Transmit a bus message that the transfer case shift is complete.
- If the desired mode sensor code is not received after the shift timer expires (ie. a blocked or other
condition exists), stop driving the motor and wait for 200 msec ±50 msec. The shift motor is then
reversed in the direction back toward the source gear for up to 1.0 seconds ±100 msec. per 'D'
channel. The TIPM waits for 2.0 seconds ±50 msec. and repeats the attempt to shift to the desired
position.
The exception to the preceding sequence is when a shift from 4L to 2WD/AWD is requested. If
2WD/AWD is requested from the 4L position, the transfer case is first driven to the 4H position. If
the 4H position is reached, the transfer case is then driven back to the 2WD/AWD position and the
shift is considered complete. If the transfer case does not reach any the 4H position, but is in the
2WD/AWD 'D' channel, or the 2WD/AWD between gear position on the 4H side of 2WD/AWD, the
shift is also considered complete.
SHIFT OUT OF NEUTRAL
The following steps describe the process for a shift out of NEUTRAL.
- Extinguish the Neutral LED.
- Engage the shift motor for a maximum of 1 second ±100 msec toward the transfer case 4H mode
position while monitoring the mode sensor channel transitions.
- Disengage the shift motor when the correct mode sensor code is recognized.
- Extinguish the Neutral LED.
- Transmit a bus message that the transfer case shift is complete.
- If the desired mode sensor code is not received after the shift timer expires (ie. a blocked or other
condition exists), stop driving the motor and wait for 200 msec ±50 msec. The shift motor is then
reversed in the direction back toward the source gear for up to 1.0 seconds 100 msec. The
Dodge Ram 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (Truck V8-4.7L (2008))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Transfer Case > Control Module, Transfer Case > Component
Information > Description and Operation > Description > Page 8630
TIPM waits for 2.0 seconds ±50 msec. and repeats the attempt to shift to the desired position.
- When the Neutral button is released, if the 4H position is the desired position, the shift is
complete. Illuminate the 4H LED.
- Otherwise when the Neutral button is released, if all of the shift requirements are being met then
engage the shift motor towards the desired position for 1 second ±100 msec per 'D' channel. (if
requirements for shifting are not met, illuminate the 4H LED and flash the destination LED as an
indication to the driver that all of the driver controllable shift conditions are not being met). If this
requires another range or mode shift, begin the range/mode shift process.
- If the desired mode sensor code is not received after the shift timer expires (i.e. a blocked or other
condition exists), refer to the Blocked Shift Strategy.
BLOCKED SHIFT STRATEGY
When a shift is commanded, the shift motor will be driven towards its destination position, except in
the case of shifting out of Neutral if 4L was selected (the transfer case will shift to the 4H position
first, before proceeding to 4L). If the shift is blocked on the way to the destination, the TIPM may
attempt to drive the motor back to the original position. This process will be allowed to occur 5
times. If the transfer case has reached a non-NEUTRAL 'D' channel during the shift re-attempts,
the LED for the achieved gear position is illuminated and the shift attempts are stopped. To
re-attempt the desired shift, the selector switch will need to be rotated to the current position until
the switch debounce timer expires then a shift will need to be requested again.
At the end of the 5th blocked attempt, the shift motor is driven towards the last known 'D' channel
position. If this motor drive allows the transfer case to reach the 2WD/AWD 'D' channel, or the
2WD/AWD between gear position on the 4H side of 2WD/AWD, the shift is considered complete
and the shift attempts are ended.
If the mode sensor is in the NEUTRAL region at the expiration of the shift timer, the TIPM will
continue to make the shift attempts according to the blocked shift strategy independent of whether
or not the driver controlled conditions are met.
For shifts from NEUTRAL, if all 5 attempts fail to reach the desired position (which by default is
4H), the motor will be driven to stall in the direction of 4H or 4L, depending on the achieved
position. If the transfer case has reached the 2WD/AWD or 4L between gear position nearest the
NEUTRAL positions and the shift conditions are no longer being met, the transfer case will be
driven toward the corresponding 'D' channel. Otherwise, the transfer case will be driven in the
direction opposite the last attempt with the desired target being 4H or 4L.
If the transfer case reaches the 2WD/AWD 'D' channel when being driven in the 4H direction, then
one final 1.0 second drive toward 4H is attempted. If the transfer case then reaches any of the 4H
positions, the shift is considered complete and the 4H LED is illuminated. If the transfer case is still
the 2WD/AWD position, the shift is considered complete and the 2WD/AWD LED is illuminated.
NOTE: If after the 5th blocked shift and reversal attempt, if the transfer case position is in the
NEUTRAL region, shift attempts will continue until a non-NEUTRAL 'D' channel is reached.
SHIFT REVERSAL TARGETS
If the shift timer expires (1 second per 'D' channel) and the transfer case has not reached the
desired position, all shifts will attempt to return to their original position with the exceptions of:
- If the intended shift is going to the High rail from Low and can't make it, but it can make the
2WD/AWD position, the motor stops at that position. The TIPM will not attempt to cross back over
NEUTRAL if it does not have to. This means that there was a block on the first attempt to go to 4H
and the transfer case has made it through NEUTRAL to a known good position, then the motor will
go back only to the 2WD/4WD position and execute the remainder of the attempts from there.
- For shifts out of NEUTRAL, any time a shift is commanded out of NEUTRAL, the system needs to
get out. The TIPM should never go to NEUTRAL unless the driver is commanding it and all
required conditions are being met
ENCODER DRIFT CORRECTION
Whenever a shift is completed, the TIPM stores the position in memory as the transfer case's
intended position. The TIPM continuously monitors the mode sensor and if the mode sensor drifts
toward into a NEUTRAL region sensor position for 2.0 seconds, the TIPM will perform a motor
drive to correct the drift. The transfer case will be driven toward the intended position for 1.0
seconds 100 msec. The TIPM will wait for 2.0 seconds ±50 msec. and repeat the attempt to shift to
the desired position. This will continue until the intended position is reached.
SHIFT MOTOR BRAKING
Two modes of shift motor braking are employed to improve shift performance, static and dynamic.
Static shift motor braking is utilized under the following conditions:
- Whenever the transfer case is in the 2WD/AWD or 4L 'D' channel position.
- Whenever an invalid mode sensor code is present.
Static motor braking is achieved by applying +12V on both shift motor wires.

Information > Description and Operation > Description > Page 8631
NOTE: Static Shift Motor Braking is independent of ignition key position.
SHIFT ATTEMPT LIMIT
To protect the transfer case system, the TIPM will impose a limit on the number of shifts that can
occur over a calibrated time period. The system will monitor the number of 'D' channel segment
transitions that occur in any 30 second time period. If the number of segment transitions is 30 or
greater, the system will go into a default mode. The default mode of operation for shifting is that the
number of allowed 'D' channel transitions permitted to occur will be 3 over each 15 second ±100
msec calibrated window of time. After 5 minutes ±100 msec, the motor can be assumed to have
cooled down and the system will revert to normal operation. The following rules also apply to the
shift limit:
- The attempt limit will not prevent shifts coming out of NEUTRAL, they will be allowed regardless
of the counter/timer.
- Any shift that is in progress when the counter reaches a maximum count in time will be allowed to
complete before the default mode is entered. D-channel transitions during this period will not be
counted towards the default mode limit.
- A block, regardless of the direction, whether towards destination or back towards reversal target
(shift timer expiring), will count as a value of 2 transitions towards the 30 segment transitions to go
into default mode as defined above. Current attempt limit values are 30 transitions in 30 seconds
and default mode values are 3 transitions every 15 seconds for 5 minutes.

DISCUSSION:
Chrysler Group vehicle fluid systems do NOT require regular flushing. These systems include:
engine oil, transmission oil, axle lube, brake fluid, power steering fluid, and refrigerant. The only
exception to this requirement are published in the vehicle maintenance schedules, e.g. engine
coolant.
Exceptions to this recommendation include only those instances where a failure has occurred
and/or the system has become compromised, contaminated or overheated beyond the normal
operating range.
Chrysler Group does NOT recommend aftermarket chemicals to flush the engine, transmission,
brake or steering systems. Chemicals contained in these products can damage the system
elastomeric components, and contaminate the component fluid, leading to loss of
system/component durability and service life. When necessary, only the original approved system
fluid should be used to flush these components using teamPSE(R) approved equipment.
If the engine coolant contains a considerable amount of sediment, clean and flush with Mopar
Cooling System Flush, p/n 04856977, or equivalent. Follow with a thorough rinsing to remove all
deposits and chemicals. Refill with a minimum of a 50% mixture of the specified coolant and
distilled water.

4WD Auto Indicator
4WD AUTO INDICATOR
A 4WD auto indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. However, on vehicles not
equipped with the optional four-wheel drive system and electronically shifted transfer case, this
indicator is electronically disabled. The 4WD auto indicator is located on the right side of the
instrument cluster, to the right of the oil pressure gauge.
The 4WD auto indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the text 4WD AUTO in the opaque layer
of the instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from
being clearly visible when it is not illuminated. An amber Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the
cutout in the opaque layer of the overlay causes the indicator to appear in amber through the
translucent outer layer of the overlay when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is
soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
When the exterior lighting is turned ON, the illumination intensity of the 4WD auto indicator is
dimmable, which is adjusted along with the cluster general illumination lighting using the panel
lamps dimmer thumbwheel on the headlamp switch.
The 4WD auto indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Four Wheel Drive Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation Operation
4WD Auto Indicator
4WD AUTO INDICATOR
The 4WD auto indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the electronic transfer
case has been shifted into the 4WD auto mode. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the
instrument cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received
by the cluster from the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) over the Controller Area Network
(CAN) data bus.
The 4WD auto indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument
cluster logic circuit, and that logic will only allow this indicator to operate when the instrument
cluster receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit.
Therefore, the LED will always be OFF when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or
START. The LED only illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster
transistor. The instrument cluster will turn ON the 4WD auto indicator for the following reasons:
- 4WD Auto Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic 4WD auto
indicator lamp-ON message from the TIPM, the indicator will be illuminated. The indicator remains
illuminated until the cluster receives a lamp-OFF message from the TIPM, or until the ignition
switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the 4WD auto indicator will
be turned ON, then OFF again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality
of the LED and the cluster control circuitry.
The TIPM continually monitors the electronic transfer case through the transfer case shift
motor/mode sensor assembly to determine when the 4WD auto mode is engaged. The TIPM then
sends the proper lamp-ON or lamp-OFF message to the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster
(EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN). For further diagnosis of the 4WD auto
indicator or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the LED, Refer to appropriate testing.
For proper diagnosis of the transfer case shift motor/mode sensor, the TIPM, the EMIC, the CAN
data bus or the electronic communication related to 4WD auto indicator operation a diagnostic scan
tool is required. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
4WD Indicator
4WD INDICATOR
The 4WD indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the transfer case has been
shifted into a 4WD mode. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument cluster circuit
board based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received by the cluster from the
Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The 4WD indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument cluster
logic circuit, and that logic will only allow this indicator to operate when the instrument cluster
receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the
LED will always be OFF when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED
only illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The
instrument cluster will turn ON the 4WD indicator for the following reasons:
- 4WD Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic 4WD indicator
lamp-ON message from the TIPM, the indicator will be illuminated. The indicator remains
illuminated until the cluster receives a lamp-OFF message from the TIPM, or until the ignition
switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the 4WD indicator will be
turned ON, then OFF again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of
the LED and the cluster control circuitry.
The TIPM continually monitors the electronic transfer case through the transfer case shift
motor/mode sensor assembly or the manual transfer case through the transfer case switch to
determine when the 4WD mode is engaged. The TIPM then sends the proper lamp-ON or
lamp-OFF message to the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab
Compartment Node/CCN). For further diagnosis of the 4WD indicator or the instrument cluster
circuitry that controls the LED, Refer to appropriate testing.
For proper diagnosis of the transfer case shift motor/mode sensor, the transfer case switch, the
TIPM, the EMIC, the CAN data bus or the electronic communication related to 4WD indicator
operation a diagnostic scan tool is required. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
4 Low Indicator
4 LOW INDICATOR
The 4 low indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the electronic transfer case has
been shifted into the 4WD low mode. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument
cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received by the
cluster from

Four Wheel Drive Selector Switch: Description and Operation NV243 Transfer Case
Description
DESCRIPTION
The selector switch assembly is mounted in the left side of the vehicle's Instrument Panel (IP) and
consists of a rotary knob connected to a resistive network for the mode and range shift selections.
Also located in this assembly is a recessed, normally open momentary switch for making shifts into
and out of transfer case NEUTRAL. A pen, or similar instrument, is used to make a NEUTRAL shift
selection, thus reducing the likelihood of an inadvertent shift request.
The selector switch also contains four light emitting diode's (LED's) to indicate the transfer case
position and whether a shift is in progress.
Operation
OPERATION
As the position of the selector switch varies, the resistance between the Mode Sensor supply
voltage pin and the Mode Sensor output will vary. Hardware, software, and calibrations within the
Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM) are provided that interpret the selector switch resistance as
given in the table below:
For resistances between the ranges B-E shown for each valid position (T-Case NEUTRAL, 4LO,
4HI, 2WD), the TCCM may interpret the resistance as:
- either of the neighboring valid positions.
- as an invalid fault position.
For resistances between the ranges E and F shown for 2WD and in-between positions, the TCCM
may interpret the resistance as:
- the 2WD position.
- an invalid fault position.
- a valid in-between position.
For resistances between the ranges F and G shown for in-between positions and fault condition
(open), the TCCM may interpret the resistance as:

- a valid in-between position.
- an invalid fault position.
For resistances between the ranges A and B shown for the fault condition (short) and T-Case
NEUTRAL, the TCCM may interpret the resistance as:
- the T-Case NEUTRAL position.
- an invalid fault position.
The LED's in the selector assembly are illuminated/flashed in the following manner to indicate a
particular condition or state.
- A solidly illuminated LED indicates a successfully completed shift and the current operating mode
of the transfer case. While a shift has been requested but not yet completed, the LED for the
desired transfer case position is flashed.
- A flashing operating mode LED for the desired gear indicates that a shift to that position has been
requested, but all of the driver controllable conditions have not been met. This is in an attempt to
notify the driver that the transmission needs to be put into NEUTRAL, the vehicle speed is too
great, or some other condition outlined (other than a diagnostic failure that would prevent this shift)
elsewhere See: Control Module/Description and Operation/Operation is not met. Note that this
flashing will continue indefinitely until the conditions are eventually met, or the selector switch
position is changed, or if diagnostic routines no longer allow the requested shift.
- If the driver attempts to make a shift into transfer case NEUTRAL, and any of the driver
controllable conditions are not met, the request will be ignored until all of the conditions are met or
until the NEUTRAL select button is released. Additionally the neutral lamp will flash, or begin to
flash while the button is depressed and operator controllable conditions are not being met. All of
the LED's except the Neutral will flash if any of the operator controllable conditions for shifting are
not met while the Neutral button is depressed. This "toggle" type of feature is necessary because
the TCCM would interpret another request immediately after the shift into transfer case NEUTRAL
has completed.
- No LED's illuminated indicate a fault in the transfer case control system.

Description
DESCRIPTION
The transfer case mode sensor is an electronic device whose output can be interpreted to indicate
the shift motor shaft's rotary position. The sensor consists of a magnetic ring and four Hall Effect
Transistors to create a 4 channel digital device (non-contacting) whose output converts the motor
shaft position into a coded signal. The TCCM must supply 5VDC (+/- 0.5v) to the sensor and
monitor the shift motor position. The four channels are denoted A, B, C, and D. The sensor is
mechanically linked to the shaft of the cam which causes the transfer case shifting. The mode
sensor draws less than 53 mA.
Operation
OPERATION
During normal vehicle operation, the Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM) monitors the mode
sensor outputs at least every 250 (+/-50) milliseconds when the shift motor is stationary and 400
microseconds when the shift motor is active. A mode sensor signal between 3.8 Volts and 0.8 Volts
is considered to be undefined.
Refer to SECTOR ANGLES vs.TRANSFER CASE POSITION for the relative angles of the transfer
case shift sector versus the interpreted transfer case gear operating mode. Refer to MODE
SENSOR CHANNEL STATES for the sensor codes returned to the TCCM for each transfer case
mode sensor position. The various between gears positions can also be referred as the transfer
case's coarse position. These coarse positions come into play during shift attempts.

4WD Auto Indicator
4WD AUTO INDICATOR
A 4WD auto indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. However, on vehicles not
equipped with the optional four-wheel drive system and electronically shifted transfer case, this
indicator is electronically disabled. The 4WD auto indicator is located on the right side of the
instrument cluster, to the right of the oil pressure gauge.
The 4WD auto indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the text 4WD AUTO in the opaque layer
of the instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from
being clearly visible when it is not illuminated. An amber Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the
cutout in the opaque layer of the overlay causes the indicator to appear in amber through the
translucent outer layer of the overlay when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is
soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
When the exterior lighting is turned ON, the illumination intensity of the 4WD auto indicator is
dimmable, which is adjusted along with the cluster general illumination lighting using the panel
lamps dimmer thumbwheel on the headlamp switch.
The 4WD auto indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Four Wheel Drive Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation Operation
4WD Auto Indicator
4WD AUTO INDICATOR
The 4WD auto indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the electronic transfer
case has been shifted into the 4WD auto mode. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the
instrument cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received
by the cluster from the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) over the Controller Area Network
(CAN) data bus.
The 4WD auto indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument
cluster logic circuit, and that logic will only allow this indicator to operate when the instrument
cluster receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit.
Therefore, the LED will always be OFF when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or
START. The LED only illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster
transistor. The instrument cluster will turn ON the 4WD auto indicator for the following reasons:
- 4WD Auto Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic 4WD auto
indicator lamp-ON message from the TIPM, the indicator will be illuminated. The indicator remains
illuminated until the cluster receives a lamp-OFF message from the TIPM, or until the ignition
switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the 4WD auto indicator will
be turned ON, then OFF again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality
of the LED and the cluster control circuitry.
The TIPM continually monitors the electronic transfer case through the transfer case shift
motor/mode sensor assembly to determine when the 4WD auto mode is engaged. The TIPM then
sends the proper lamp-ON or lamp-OFF message to the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster
(EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN). For further diagnosis of the 4WD auto
indicator or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the LED, Refer to appropriate testing.
For proper diagnosis of the transfer case shift motor/mode sensor, the TIPM, the EMIC, the CAN
data bus or the electronic communication related to 4WD auto indicator operation a diagnostic scan
tool is required. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

- Service 4WD Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic service
4WD indicator lamp-ON message from the TIPM, the service 4WD indicator will be illuminated. The
indicator remains illuminated until the cluster receives a lamp-OFF message from the TIPM, or until
the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Communication Error - If the cluster receives no lamp-ON or lamp-OFF messages from the TIPM
for 10 seconds the service 4WD indicator is illuminated by the cluster to indicate a loss of TIPM
communication. The indicator remains controlled and illuminated by the cluster until a valid
message is received from the TIPM.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the service 4WD indicator
will be turned ON, then OFF again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the
functionality of the LED and the cluster control circuitry.
The TIPM continually monitors the electronic transfer case control circuits and transfer case shift
motor/mode sensor assembly to determine the condition of the system. The TIPM then sends the
proper lamp-ON or lamp-OFF message to the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also
known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN). For further diagnosis of the service 4WD indicator or
the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the LED, Refer to appropriate testing.
For proper diagnosis of the TIPM, the EMIC, the CAN data bus or the electronic communication
related to service 4WD indicator operation a diagnostic scan tool is required. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.

Control Module: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM) functionality now resides in the Totally Integrated
Power Module (TIPM), refer to the TIPM information for location and additional information. The
TIPM controls the 4X4 transfer case shift functions via the actuation of a shift motor and utilizing
the feedback of a mode sensor assembly. Communication is via the CAN bus. Inputs include user
selectable 4X4 modes that include 2WD, AWD, 4HI, 4LO, and Neutral (selections vary with the
specific transfer case).

Control Module: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM) functionality in the Totally Integrated Power Module
(TIPM) utilizes the input from the transfer case mounted mode sensor, the instrument panel
mounted selector switch, and the following information from the vehicle's CAN bus to determine if a
shift is allowed.
- Engine RPM and Vehicle Speed
- Diagnostic Requests
- Manual Transmission and Brake Applied
- PRNDL
- Ignition Status
- ABS Messages
Once the TIP determines that a requested shift is allowed, it actuates the bi-directional shift motor
as necessary to achieve the desired transfer case operating mode. The TIPM also monitors the
mode sensor while controlling the shift motor to determine the status of the shift attempt.
Several items can cause the requested shift not to be completed. If the TIPM has recognized a
fault (DTC) of some variety, it will begin operation in one of four Functionality Levels. These levels
are:
- Level Zero - Normal Operation.
- Level One - Only Mode Shifts Are Allowed.
- Level Two - Only Mode Shifts and Shifts Into LOW Are Allowed (No Neutral Shifts Are Allowed).
- Level Three - No Shifts Are Allowed
The TIPM can also be operating in one of three possible power modes. These power modes are:
- Full Power Mode is the normal operational mode of the module. This mode is achieved by normal
CAN bus traffic being present and the ignition being in the RUN position.
Reduced Power Mode will be entered when the ignition has been powered off. In this state, the
module will shut down power supplied to external devices, and to electronic interface inputs and
outputs. From this state the module can enter either Sleep Mode or Full Power Mode. To enter this
mode, the module must receive an ignition message denoting that the ignition is off, or not receive
any messages for 5 ±0.5 seconds. To exit this mode, the module must receive one ignition
message that denotes that the ignition is in the RUN position.
- Sleep Mode will be entered, from the Reduced Power Mode, when no CAN traffic has been
sensed for 20 ±1 seconds. If during Sleep Mode the module detects CAN bus traffic, it will revert to
the Reduced Power mode while monitoring for ignition messages. It will remain in this state as long
as there is traffic other than run or start messages, and will return to Sleep mode if the bus goes
without traffic for 20 ±1 seconds.
SHIFT REQUIREMENTS
If the TIPM is in full power mode and at functionality level zero, it uses the following criteria to
determine if a shift is allowed.
If any of the driver controllable conditions are not met once the shift request is recognized, the
TIPM will solidly illuminate the source position's LED and flash the desired position's LED for all
shifts except NEUTRAL. The NEUTRAL shift LED strategy will be discussed later.
Mode shifts will be allowed regardless of transmission gear or vehicle speed, whenever the
following conditions are met:
- Front and rear wheel speed are within 21 km/h (13 mph).
- A change in the Selector switch state indicates that a mode shift has been requested.
- A valid mode sensor signal is being sensed by the TIPM.
- Proper transmit/receive messages are occurring on the CAN bus.
- Ignition key switch is in the RUN position.
Range shifts will be allowed only if all of the following conditions are met:
- Front and rear wheel speed are within 21 km/h (13 mph).
- A change in the Selector Switch state indicating a range shift has been requested.
- Transmission in NEUTRAL signal must be recognized for at least 1.5 seconds ±100 msec.
(Automatic transmissions only)
- Proper transmit/receive messages are occurring on the CAN bus.
- Clutch signal is recognized for 500 msec ± 50 msec (Manual transmissions only).
- Vehicle speed is less than or equal to 4.8 km/h (3 mph).
- Ignition key switch is in the RUN position.
- A valid mode sensor signal is being sensed by the TIPM.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Transfer Case > Relays and Modules - Transfer Case > Control
Module, Transfer Case > Component Information > Description and Operation > Description > Page 8763
A shift into transfer case Neutral will be allowed only if all of the following conditions are met:
- Front and rear wheel speed are within 21 km/h (13 mph).
- The recessed Neutral Selection switch has been depressed continuously for 4.0 seconds ±100
msec while all shift conditions have been continuously met.
- Transmission in NEUTRAL signal recognized from the bus. (Automatic transmissions only)
- Clutch signal is recognized from the bus (Manual transmissions only).
- Proper message transmissions/receptions are occurring on the CAN bus.
- Vehicle speed is less than or equal to 4.8 km/h (3 mph).
- Ignition key switch is in the RUN position, engine off.
- Foot Brake is applied.
- A valid mode sensor signal is being sensed by the TIPM.
A shift out of transfer case Neutral will be allowed only if all of the following conditions are met:
- Front and rear wheel speed are within 21 km/h (13 mph).
- The recessed Neutral Selection switch has been depressed continuously for 1.0 seconds ±100
msec while all shift conditions have been continuously met.
- Transmission in NEUTRAL signal recognized from the bus.(Automatic transmissions only)
- Clutch signal is recognized from the bus (Manual transmissions only).
- Proper message transmissions/receptions are occurring on the CAN bus.
- Vehicle speed is less than or equal to 4.8 km/h (3 mph).
- Ignition key switch is in the RUN position.
- Foot Brake is applied.
- A valid mode sensor signal is being sensed by the TIPM.
SHIFT SEQUENCES
Once all the driver controllable conditions for the requested shift have been met, the TIPM begins a
shift timer with a maximum duration of 1 second per 'D' channel transition. If the shift timer expires
before the TIPM recognizes to correct mode sensor code, the shift is considered to have been
blocked. The blocked shift will increment the blocked shift counter by one. The TIPM strategy for
handling blocked shifts will be described later. The process the TIPM performs for the various shifts
will be described first.
RANGE AND MODE SHIFTS
The process for performing all the range and mode shifts are the same. The following steps
describe the process.
- Allow time for Selector Switch debounce; 250 msec ±50 msec.
- Extinguish the source gear's LED while flashing desired transfer case position's LED.
- Engage the shift motor for a maximum of 1 second ±100 msec per 'D' channel transition in the
destination gear's direction while monitoring the mode sensor channel transitions.
- Disengage the shift motor when the correct mode sensor code is recognized.
- Solidly illuminate the selected gear's LED.
- Transmit a bus message that the transfer case shift is complete.
- If the desired mode sensor code is not received after the shift timer expires (ie. a blocked or other
condition exists), stop driving the motor and wait for 200 msec ±50 msec. The shift motor is then
reversed in the direction back toward the source gear for up to 1.0 seconds ±100 msec. per 'D'
channel. The TIPM waits for 2.0 seconds ±50 msec. and repeats the attempt to shift to the desired
position.
The exception to the preceding sequence is when a shift from 4L to 2WD/AWD is requested. If
2WD/AWD is requested from the 4L position, the transfer case is first driven to the 4H position. If
the 4H position is reached, the transfer case is then driven back to the 2WD/AWD position and the
shift is considered complete. If the transfer case does not reach any the 4H position, but is in the
2WD/AWD 'D' channel, or the 2WD/AWD between gear position on the 4H side of 2WD/AWD, the
shift is also considered complete.
SHIFT OUT OF NEUTRAL
The following steps describe the process for a shift out of NEUTRAL.
- Extinguish the Neutral LED.
- Engage the shift motor for a maximum of 1 second ±100 msec toward the transfer case 4H mode
position while monitoring the mode sensor channel transitions.
- Disengage the shift motor when the correct mode sensor code is recognized.
- Extinguish the Neutral LED.
- Transmit a bus message that the transfer case shift is complete.
- If the desired mode sensor code is not received after the shift timer expires (ie. a blocked or other
condition exists), stop driving the motor and wait for 200 msec ±50 msec. The shift motor is then
reversed in the direction back toward the source gear for up to 1.0 seconds 100 msec. The
Dodge Ram 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (Truck V8-4.7L (2008))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Transfer Case > Relays and Modules - Transfer Case > Control
Module, Transfer Case > Component Information > Description and Operation > Description > Page 8764
TIPM waits for 2.0 seconds ±50 msec. and repeats the attempt to shift to the desired position.
- When the Neutral button is released, if the 4H position is the desired position, the shift is
complete. Illuminate the 4H LED.
- Otherwise when the Neutral button is released, if all of the shift requirements are being met then
engage the shift motor towards the desired position for 1 second ±100 msec per 'D' channel. (if
requirements for shifting are not met, illuminate the 4H LED and flash the destination LED as an
indication to the driver that all of the driver controllable shift conditions are not being met). If this
requires another range or mode shift, begin the range/mode shift process.
- If the desired mode sensor code is not received after the shift timer expires (i.e. a blocked or other
condition exists), refer to the Blocked Shift Strategy.
BLOCKED SHIFT STRATEGY
When a shift is commanded, the shift motor will be driven towards its destination position, except in
the case of shifting out of Neutral if 4L was selected (the transfer case will shift to the 4H position
first, before proceeding to 4L). If the shift is blocked on the way to the destination, the TIPM may
attempt to drive the motor back to the original position. This process will be allowed to occur 5
times. If the transfer case has reached a non-NEUTRAL 'D' channel during the shift re-attempts,
the LED for the achieved gear position is illuminated and the shift attempts are stopped. To
re-attempt the desired shift, the selector switch will need to be rotated to the current position until
the switch debounce timer expires then a shift will need to be requested again.
At the end of the 5th blocked attempt, the shift motor is driven towards the last known 'D' channel
position. If this motor drive allows the transfer case to reach the 2WD/AWD 'D' channel, or the
2WD/AWD between gear position on the 4H side of 2WD/AWD, the shift is considered complete
and the shift attempts are ended.
If the mode sensor is in the NEUTRAL region at the expiration of the shift timer, the TIPM will
continue to make the shift attempts according to the blocked shift strategy independent of whether
or not the driver controlled conditions are met.
For shifts from NEUTRAL, if all 5 attempts fail to reach the desired position (which by default is
4H), the motor will be driven to stall in the direction of 4H or 4L, depending on the achieved
position. If the transfer case has reached the 2WD/AWD or 4L between gear position nearest the
NEUTRAL positions and the shift conditions are no longer being met, the transfer case will be
driven toward the corresponding 'D' channel. Otherwise, the transfer case will be driven in the
direction opposite the last attempt with the desired target being 4H or 4L.
If the transfer case reaches the 2WD/AWD 'D' channel when being driven in the 4H direction, then
one final 1.0 second drive toward 4H is attempted. If the transfer case then reaches any of the 4H
positions, the shift is considered complete and the 4H LED is illuminated. If the transfer case is still
the 2WD/AWD position, the shift is considered complete and the 2WD/AWD LED is illuminated.
NOTE: If after the 5th blocked shift and reversal attempt, if the transfer case position is in the
NEUTRAL region, shift attempts will continue until a non-NEUTRAL 'D' channel is reached.
SHIFT REVERSAL TARGETS
If the shift timer expires (1 second per 'D' channel) and the transfer case has not reached the
desired position, all shifts will attempt to return to their original position with the exceptions of:
- If the intended shift is going to the High rail from Low and can't make it, but it can make the
2WD/AWD position, the motor stops at that position. The TIPM will not attempt to cross back over
NEUTRAL if it does not have to. This means that there was a block on the first attempt to go to 4H
and the transfer case has made it through NEUTRAL to a known good position, then the motor will
go back only to the 2WD/4WD position and execute the remainder of the attempts from there.
- For shifts out of NEUTRAL, any time a shift is commanded out of NEUTRAL, the system needs to
get out. The TIPM should never go to NEUTRAL unless the driver is commanding it and all
required conditions are being met
ENCODER DRIFT CORRECTION
Whenever a shift is completed, the TIPM stores the position in memory as the transfer case's
intended position. The TIPM continuously monitors the mode sensor and if the mode sensor drifts
toward into a NEUTRAL region sensor position for 2.0 seconds, the TIPM will perform a motor
drive to correct the drift. The transfer case will be driven toward the intended position for 1.0
seconds 100 msec. The TIPM will wait for 2.0 seconds ±50 msec. and repeat the attempt to shift to
the desired position. This will continue until the intended position is reached.
SHIFT MOTOR BRAKING
Two modes of shift motor braking are employed to improve shift performance, static and dynamic.
Static shift motor braking is utilized under the following conditions:
- Whenever the transfer case is in the 2WD/AWD or 4L 'D' channel position.
- Whenever an invalid mode sensor code is present.
Static motor braking is achieved by applying +12V on both shift motor wires.

Module, Transfer Case > Component Information > Description and Operation > Description > Page 8765
NOTE: Static Shift Motor Braking is independent of ignition key position.
SHIFT ATTEMPT LIMIT
To protect the transfer case system, the TIPM will impose a limit on the number of shifts that can
occur over a calibrated time period. The system will monitor the number of 'D' channel segment
transitions that occur in any 30 second time period. If the number of segment transitions is 30 or
greater, the system will go into a default mode. The default mode of operation for shifting is that the
number of allowed 'D' channel transitions permitted to occur will be 3 over each 15 second ±100
msec calibrated window of time. After 5 minutes ±100 msec, the motor can be assumed to have
cooled down and the system will revert to normal operation. The following rules also apply to the
shift limit:
- The attempt limit will not prevent shifts coming out of NEUTRAL, they will be allowed regardless
of the counter/timer.
- Any shift that is in progress when the counter reaches a maximum count in time will be allowed to
complete before the default mode is entered. D-channel transitions during this period will not be
counted towards the default mode limit.
- A block, regardless of the direction, whether towards destination or back towards reversal target
(shift timer expiring), will count as a value of 2 transitions towards the 30 segment transitions to go
into default mode as defined above. Current attempt limit values are 30 transitions in 30 seconds
and default mode values are 3 transitions every 15 seconds for 5 minutes.

Four Wheel Drive Selector Switch: Description and Operation NV243 Transfer Case
Description
DESCRIPTION
The selector switch assembly is mounted in the left side of the vehicle's Instrument Panel (IP) and
consists of a rotary knob connected to a resistive network for the mode and range shift selections.
Also located in this assembly is a recessed, normally open momentary switch for making shifts into
and out of transfer case NEUTRAL. A pen, or similar instrument, is used to make a NEUTRAL shift
selection, thus reducing the likelihood of an inadvertent shift request.
The selector switch also contains four light emitting diode's (LED's) to indicate the transfer case
position and whether a shift is in progress.
Operation
OPERATION
As the position of the selector switch varies, the resistance between the Mode Sensor supply
voltage pin and the Mode Sensor output will vary. Hardware, software, and calibrations within the
Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM) are provided that interpret the selector switch resistance as
given in the table below:
For resistances between the ranges B-E shown for each valid position (T-Case NEUTRAL, 4LO,
4HI, 2WD), the TCCM may interpret the resistance as:
- either of the neighboring valid positions.
- as an invalid fault position.
For resistances between the ranges E and F shown for 2WD and in-between positions, the TCCM
may interpret the resistance as:
- the 2WD position.
- an invalid fault position.
- a valid in-between position.
For resistances between the ranges F and G shown for in-between positions and fault condition

- a valid in-between position.
- an invalid fault position.
For resistances between the ranges A and B shown for the fault condition (short) and T-Case
NEUTRAL, the TCCM may interpret the resistance as:
- the T-Case NEUTRAL position.
- an invalid fault position.
The LED's in the selector assembly are illuminated/flashed in the following manner to indicate a
particular condition or state.
- A solidly illuminated LED indicates a successfully completed shift and the current operating mode
of the transfer case. While a shift has been requested but not yet completed, the LED for the
desired transfer case position is flashed.
- A flashing operating mode LED for the desired gear indicates that a shift to that position has been
requested, but all of the driver controllable conditions have not been met. This is in an attempt to
notify the driver that the transmission needs to be put into NEUTRAL, the vehicle speed is too
great, or some other condition outlined (other than a diagnostic failure that would prevent this shift)
elsewhere See: Control Module/Description and Operation/Operation is not met. Note that this
flashing will continue indefinitely until the conditions are eventually met, or the selector switch
position is changed, or if diagnostic routines no longer allow the requested shift.
- If the driver attempts to make a shift into transfer case NEUTRAL, and any of the driver
controllable conditions are not met, the request will be ignored until all of the conditions are met or
until the NEUTRAL select button is released. Additionally the neutral lamp will flash, or begin to
flash while the button is depressed and operator controllable conditions are not being met. All of
the LED's except the Neutral will flash if any of the operator controllable conditions for shifting are
not met while the Neutral button is depressed. This "toggle" type of feature is necessary because
the TCCM would interpret another request immediately after the shift into transfer case NEUTRAL
has completed.
- No LED's illuminated indicate a fault in the transfer case control system.

Four Wheel Drive Selector Switch: Description and Operation NV244 GENII Transfer Case
Description
DESCRIPTION
The selector switch assembly is mounted in the left side of the vehicle's Instrument Panel (IP) and
consists of a rotary knob connected to a resistive network for the mode and range shift selections.
Also located in this assembly is a recessed, normally open momentary switch for making shifts into
and out of transfer case NEUTRAL. A pen, or similar instrument, is used to make a NEUTRAL shift
selection, thus reducing the likelihood of an inadvertent shift request.
The selector switch also contains light emitting diode's (LED's) to indicate the transfer case position
and whether a shift is in progress.
Operation
OPERATION
As the position of the selector switch varies, the resistance between the Mode Sensor supply
voltage pin and the Mode Sensor output will vary. Hardware, software, and calibrations within the
Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM) are provided that interpret the selector switch resistance as
given in the table below:
For resistances between the ranges B-E shown for each valid position (T-Case NEUTRAL, 4LO,
4HI, AWD), the TCCM may interpret the resistance as:
- either of the neighboring valid positions.
- as an invalid fault position.
For resistances between the ranges E and F shown for AWD and in-between positions, the TCCM
may interpret the resistance as:
- the AWD position.
- an invalid fault position.
- a valid in-between position.
For resistances between the ranges F and G shown for in-between positions and fault condition
(open), the TCCM may interpret the resistance as:
- a valid in-between position.
- an invalid fault position.
For resistances between the ranges A and B shown for the fault condition (short) and , T-Case
NEUTRAL, the TCCM may interpret the resistance as:
- the T-Case NEUTRAL position.
- an invalid fault position.

Description
DESCRIPTION
The transfer case mode sensor is an electronic device whose output can be interpreted to indicate
the shift motor shaft's rotary position. The sensor consists of a magnetic ring and four Hall Effect
Transistors to create a 4 channel digital device (non-contacting) whose output converts the motor
shaft position into a coded signal. The TCCM must supply 5VDC (+/- 0.5v) to the sensor and
monitor the shift motor position. The four channels are denoted A, B, C, and D. The sensor is
mechanically linked to the shaft of the cam which causes the transfer case shifting. The mode
sensor draws less than 53 mA.
Operation
OPERATION
During normal vehicle operation, the Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM) monitors the mode
sensor outputs at least every 250 (+/-50) milliseconds when the shift motor is stationary and 400
microseconds when the shift motor is active. A mode sensor signal between 3.8 Volts and 0.8 Volts
is considered to be undefined.
Refer to SECTOR ANGLES vs.TRANSFER CASE POSITION for the relative angles of the transfer
case shift sector versus the interpreted transfer case gear operating mode. Refer to MODE
SENSOR CHANNEL STATES for the sensor codes returned to the TCCM for each transfer case
mode sensor position. The various between gears positions can also be referred as the transfer
case's coarse position. These coarse positions come into play during shift attempts.

Gear Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation NV271 Transfer Case
Description
DESCRIPTION
The transfer case position sensor is an electronic device whose output can be interpreted to
indicate the transfer case's current operating mode. The sensor consists of a five position, resistive
multiplexed circuit which returns a specific resistance value to the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) for each transfer case operating mode. The sensor is located on the top of the transfer
case, just left of the transfer case centerline and rides against the sector plate roostercomb. The
PCM supplies 5VDC (+/- 0.5V) to the sensor and monitors the return voltage to determine the
sector plate, and therefore the transfer case, position.
Operation
OPERATION
Position Sensor Linear Movement
During normal vehicle operation, the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitors the transfer case
position sensor return voltage to determine the operating mode of the transfer case. Refer to the
Operating Mode Versus Resistance table for the correct resistance for each position.

Gear Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation NV243 Transfer Case
Description
DESCRIPTION
The transfer case mode sensor (1) is an electronic device whose output can be interpreted to
indicate the shift motor shaft's rotary position. The sensor consists of a magnetic ring and four Hall
Effect Transistors to create a 4 channel digital device (non-contacting) whose output converts the
motor shaft position into a coded signal. The TCCM must supply 5VDC (+/- 0.5v) to the sensor and
monitor the shift motor position. The four channels are denoted A, B, C, and D. The sensor is
mechanically linked to the shaft of the cam which causes the transfer case shifting. The mode
sensor draws less than 53 mA.
Operation
OPERATION
During normal vehicle operation, the Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM) monitors the mode
sensor outputs at least every 250 (+/-50) milliseconds when the shift motor is stationary and 400
microseconds when the shift motor is active. A mode sensor signal between 3.8 Volts and 0.8 Volts
is considered to be undefined.
Refer to SECTOR ANGLES vs.TRANSFER CASE POSITION for the relative angles of the transfer
case shift sector versus the interpreted transfer case gear operating mode. Refer to MODE
SENSOR CHANNEL STATES for the sensor codes returned to the TCCM for each transfer case
mode sensor position. The various between gears positions can also be referred as the transfer
case's coarse position. These coarse positions come into play during shift attempts.

Overdrive Solenoid: Description and Operation 42RLE Automatic Transmission
Description
DESCRIPTION
The Solenoid/Pressure Switch Assembly (1) is inside the transmission and mounted to the valve
body assembly. The assembly consists of four solenoids that control hydraulic pressure to the L/R,
2/4, OD, and UD friction elements (transmission clutches), and the torque converter clutch. The
reverse clutch is controlled by line pressure from the manual valve in the valve body. The solenoids
are contained within the Solenoid/Pressure Switch Assembly, and can only be serviced by
replacing the assembly.
The solenoid assembly also contains pressure switches that monitor and send hydraulic circuit
information to the TCM. Likewise, the pressure switches can only be service by replacing the
assembly.
Operation
OPERATION
SOLENOIDS
The solenoids receive electrical power from the Transmission Control Relay through a single wire.
The TCM energizes or operates the solenoids individually by grounding the return wire of the
solenoid needed. When a solenoid is energized, the solenoid valve shifts, and a fluid passage is
opened or closed (vented or applied), depending on its default operating state. The result is an
apply or release of a frictional element.
The 2/4 and UD solenoids are normally applied, which allows fluid to pass through in their relaxed
or "off" state. By design, this allows transmission limp-in (P,R,N,2) in the event of an electrical
failure.
The continuity of the solenoids and circuits are periodically tested. Each solenoid is turned on or off
depending on its current state. An inductive spike should be detected by the TCM during this test. If
no spike is detected, the circuit is tested again to verify the failure. In addition to the periodic
testing, the solenoid circuits are tested if a speed ratio or pressure switch error occurs.
PRESSURE SWITCHES
The TCM relies on three pressure switches to monitor fluid pressure in the L/R, 2/4, and OD
hydraulic circuits. The primary purpose of these switches is to help the TCM detect when clutch
circuit hydraulic failures occur. The range for the pressure switch closing and opening points is
11-23 psi. Typically the switch opening point will be approximately one psi lower than the closing
point. For example, a switch may close at 18 psi and open at 17 psi. The switches are continuously
monitored by the TCM for the correct states (open or closed) in each gear as shown in the
following chart:

Description and Operation > 42RLE Automatic Transmission > Page 8944
A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set if the TCM senses any switch open or closed at the
wrong time in a given gear.
The TCM also tests the 2/4 and OD pressure switches when they are normally off (OD and 2/4 are
tested in 1st gear, OD in 2nd gear, and 2/4 in 3rd gear). The test simply verifies that they are
operational, by looking for a closed state when the corresponding element is applied. Immediately
after a shift into 1st, 2nd, or 3rd gear with the engine speed above 1000 rpm, the TCM momentarily
turns on element pressure to the 2/4 and/or OD clutch circuits to identify that the appropriate switch
has closed. If it doesn't close, it is tested again. If the switch fails to close the second time, the
appropriate Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set.

DESCRIPTION
The transmission solenoid/TRS assembly is internal to the transmission and mounted on the valve
body assembly. The assembly consists of six solenoids that control hydraulic pressure to the six
friction elements (transmission clutches), and the torque converter clutch. The pressure control
solenoid is located on the side of the solenoid/TRS assembly. The solenoid/TRS assembly also
contains the Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) and five pressure switches that feed information to
the TCM.
Operation
OPERATION
SOLENOIDS
Solenoids are used to control the L/R, 2C, 4C, OD, and UD friction elements. The reverse clutch is
controlled by line pressure and the position of the manual valve in the valve body. All the solenoids
are contained within the Solenoid and Pressure Switch Assembly. The solenoid and pressure
switch assembly contains one additional solenoid, Multi-Select (MS), which serves primarily to
provide 2nd and 3rd gear limp-in operation.
The solenoids receive electrical power from the Transmission Control Relay through a single wire.
The TCM energizes or operates the solenoids individually by grounding the return wire of the
solenoid as necessary. When a solenoid is energized, the solenoid valve shifts, and a fluid
passage is opened or closed (vented or applied), depending on its default operating state. The
result is an apply or release of a frictional element.
The MS and UD solenoids are normally applied to allow transmission limp-in in the event of an
electrical failure.
The continuity of the solenoids and circuits are periodically tested. Each solenoid is turned on or off

circuit hydraulic failures occur. The switches close at 23 psi and open at 11 psi, and simply indicate
whether or not pressure exists. The switches are continuously monitored by the TCM for the
correct states (open or closed) in each gear as shown in the following charts and 545RFE

Pressure Regulating Solenoid: Description and Operation 42RLE Automatic Transmission
Description
DESCRIPTION
The pressure control solenoid (1) is mounted on the top of the valve body, next to the line pressure
sensor (2).
The TCM utilizes a closed-loop system to control transmission line pressure. The system contains
a variable force style solenoid, the Pressure Control Solenoid. The solenoid is duty cycle controlled
by the TCM to vent the unnecessary line pressure supplied by the oil pump back to the sump. The
system also contains a variable pressure style sensor, the Line Pressure Sensor, which is a direct
input to the TCM. The line pressure solenoid monitors the transmission line pressure and
completes the feedback loop to the TCM. The TCM uses this information to adjust its control of the
pressure control solenoid to achieve the desired line pressure.
Operation
OPERATION
The pressure control solenoid (PCS) is a variable force (VFS) style solenoid. A VFS solenoid is an
electro-hydraulic actuator, combining a solenoid and a regulating valve.
The transmission control module varies the current for the PCS, which varies the pressure in the
line pressure hydraulic circuit. When the current (duty cycle) of the PCS is low, the pressure in the
circuit is higher. At 0 current (0% duty cycle), the pressure is at the maximum value. Conversely,
when the current is maximized (100% duty cycle), the pressure in the circuit is at the lowest
possible value.

The Solenoid/Pressure Switch Assembly (1) is inside the transmission and mounted to the valve
body assembly. The assembly consists of four solenoids that control hydraulic pressure to the L/R,
2/4, OD, and UD friction elements (transmission clutches), and the torque converter clutch. The
reverse clutch is controlled by line pressure from the manual valve in the valve body. The solenoids
are contained within the Solenoid/Pressure Switch Assembly, and can only be serviced by
replacing the assembly.
The solenoid assembly also contains pressure switches that monitor and send hydraulic circuit
information to the TCM. Likewise, the pressure switches can only be service by replacing the
assembly.
Operation
OPERATION
SOLENOIDS
The solenoids receive electrical power from the Transmission Control Relay through a single wire.
The TCM energizes or operates the solenoids individually by grounding the return wire of the
solenoid needed. When a solenoid is energized, the solenoid valve shifts, and a fluid passage is
opened or closed (vented or applied), depending on its default operating state. The result is an
apply or release of a frictional element.
The 2/4 and UD solenoids are normally applied, which allows fluid to pass through in their relaxed
or "off" state. By design, this allows transmission limp-in (P,R,N,2) in the event of an electrical
failure.
The continuity of the solenoids and circuits are periodically tested. Each solenoid is turned on or off
depending on its current state. An inductive spike should be detected by the TCM during this test. If
no spike is detected, the circuit is tested again to verify the failure. In addition to the periodic
testing, the solenoid circuits are tested if a speed ratio or pressure switch error occurs.
PRESSURE SWITCHES
The TCM relies on three pressure switches to monitor fluid pressure in the L/R, 2/4, and OD
hydraulic circuits. The primary purpose of these switches is to help the TCM detect when clutch
circuit hydraulic failures occur. The range for the pressure switch closing and opening points is
11-23 psi. Typically the switch opening point will be approximately one psi lower than the closing
point. For example, a switch may close at 18 psi and open at 17 psi. The switches are continuously
monitored by the TCM for the correct states (open or closed) in each gear as shown in the
following chart:

Information > Description and Operation > 42RLE Automatic Transmission > Page 9001
A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set if the TCM senses any switch open or closed at the
wrong time in a given gear.
The TCM also tests the 2/4 and OD pressure switches when they are normally off (OD and 2/4 are
tested in 1st gear, OD in 2nd gear, and 2/4 in 3rd gear). The test simply verifies that they are
operational, by looking for a closed state when the corresponding element is applied. Immediately
after a shift into 1st, 2nd, or 3rd gear with the engine speed above 1000 rpm, the TCM momentarily
turns on element pressure to the 2/4 and/or OD clutch circuits to identify that the appropriate switch
has closed. If it doesn't close, it is tested again. If the switch fails to close the second time, the
appropriate Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set.

Description
DESCRIPTION
The transmission solenoid/TRS assembly is internal to the transmission and mounted on the valve
body assembly. The assembly consists of six solenoids that control hydraulic pressure to the six
friction elements (transmission clutches), and the torque converter clutch. The pressure control
solenoid is located on the side of the solenoid/TRS assembly. The solenoid/TRS assembly also
contains the Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) and five pressure switches that feed information to
the TCM.
Operation
OPERATION
SOLENOIDS
Solenoids are used to control the L/R, 2C, 4C, OD, and UD friction elements. The reverse clutch is
controlled by line pressure and the position of the manual valve in the valve body. All the solenoids
are contained within the Solenoid and Pressure Switch Assembly. The solenoid and pressure
switch assembly contains one additional solenoid, Multi-Select (MS), which serves primarily to
provide 2nd and 3rd gear limp-in operation.
The solenoids receive electrical power from the Transmission Control Relay through a single wire.
The TCM energizes or operates the solenoids individually by grounding the return wire of the
solenoid as necessary. When a solenoid is energized, the solenoid valve shifts, and a fluid
passage is opened or closed (vented or applied), depending on its default operating state. The
result is an apply or release of a frictional element.
The MS and UD solenoids are normally applied to allow transmission limp-in in the event of an
electrical failure.
The continuity of the solenoids and circuits are periodically tested. Each solenoid is turned on or off
depending on its current state. An inductive spike should be detected by the TCM during this test. If
no spike is detected, the circuit is tested again to verify the failure. In addition to the periodic

The TCM relies on five pressure switches to monitor fluid pressure in the L/R, 2C, 4C, UD, and OD
hydraulic circuits. The primary purpose of these switches is to help the TCM detect when clutch
circuit hydraulic failures occur. The switches close at 23 psi and open at 11 psi, and simply indicate
whether or not pressure exists. The switches are continuously monitored by the TCM for the
correct states (open or closed) in each gear as shown in the following charts and 545RFE

Description
DESCRIPTION
The Solenoid/Pressure Switch Assembly (1) is inside the transmission and mounted to the valve
body assembly. The assembly consists of four solenoids that control hydraulic pressure to the L/R,
2/4, OD, and UD friction elements (transmission clutches), and the torque converter clutch. The
reverse clutch is controlled by line pressure from the manual valve in the valve body. The solenoids
are contained within the Solenoid/Pressure Switch Assembly, and can only be serviced by
replacing the assembly.
The solenoid assembly also contains pressure switches that monitor and send hydraulic circuit
information to the TCM. Likewise, the pressure switches can only be service by replacing the
assembly.
Operation
OPERATION
SOLENOIDS
The solenoids receive electrical power from the Transmission Control Relay through a single wire.
The TCM energizes or operates the solenoids individually by grounding the return wire of the
solenoid needed. When a solenoid is energized, the solenoid valve shifts, and a fluid passage is
opened or closed (vented or applied), depending on its default operating state. The result is an
apply or release of a frictional element.
The 2/4 and UD solenoids are normally applied, which allows fluid to pass through in their relaxed
or "off" state. By design, this allows transmission limp-in (P,R,N,2) in the event of an electrical
failure.
The continuity of the solenoids and circuits are periodically tested. Each solenoid is turned on or off
depending on its current state. An inductive spike should be detected by the TCM during this test. If
no spike is detected, the circuit is tested again to verify the failure. In addition to the periodic
testing, the solenoid circuits are tested if a speed ratio or pressure switch error occurs.
PRESSURE SWITCHES
The TCM relies on three pressure switches to monitor fluid pressure in the L/R, 2/4, and OD
hydraulic circuits. The primary purpose of these switches is to help the TCM detect when clutch
circuit hydraulic failures occur. The range for the pressure switch closing and opening points is
11-23 psi. Typically the switch opening point will be approximately one psi lower than the closing
point. For example, a switch may close at 18 psi and open at 17 psi. The switches are continuously
monitored by the TCM for the correct states (open or closed) in each gear as shown in the
following chart:

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Transmission Control Systems > Actuators and Solenoids Transmission and Drivetrain > Actuators and Solenoids - A/T > Shift Solenoid, A/T > Component Information > Description
and Operation > 42RLE Automatic Transmission > Page 9062
A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set if the TCM senses any switch open or closed at the
wrong time in a given gear.
The TCM also tests the 2/4 and OD pressure switches when they are normally off (OD and 2/4 are
tested in 1st gear, OD in 2nd gear, and 2/4 in 3rd gear). The test simply verifies that they are
operational, by looking for a closed state when the corresponding element is applied. Immediately
after a shift into 1st, 2nd, or 3rd gear with the engine speed above 1000 rpm, the TCM momentarily
turns on element pressure to the 2/4 and/or OD clutch circuits to identify that the appropriate switch
has closed. If it doesn't close, it is tested again. If the switch fails to close the second time, the
appropriate Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set.

Description
DESCRIPTION
The transmission solenoid/TRS assembly is internal to the transmission and mounted on the valve
body assembly. The assembly consists of six solenoids that control hydraulic pressure to the six
friction elements (transmission clutches), and the torque converter clutch. The pressure control
solenoid is located on the side of the solenoid/TRS assembly. The solenoid/TRS assembly also
contains the Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) and five pressure switches that feed information to
the TCM.
Operation
OPERATION
SOLENOIDS
Solenoids are used to control the L/R, 2C, 4C, OD, and UD friction elements. The reverse clutch is
controlled by line pressure and the position of the manual valve in the valve body. All the solenoids
are contained within the Solenoid and Pressure Switch Assembly. The solenoid and pressure
switch assembly contains one additional solenoid, Multi-Select (MS), which serves primarily to
provide 2nd and 3rd gear limp-in operation.
The solenoids receive electrical power from the Transmission Control Relay through a single wire.
The TCM energizes or operates the solenoids individually by grounding the return wire of the
solenoid as necessary. When a solenoid is energized, the solenoid valve shifts, and a fluid
passage is opened or closed (vented or applied), depending on its default operating state. The
result is an apply or release of a frictional element.
The MS and UD solenoids are normally applied to allow transmission limp-in in the event of an
electrical failure.
The continuity of the solenoids and circuits are periodically tested. Each solenoid is turned on or off
depending on its current state. An inductive spike should be detected by the TCM during this test. If
no spike is detected, the circuit is tested again to verify the failure. In addition to the periodic
testing, the solenoid circuits are tested if a speed ratio or pressure switch error occurs.
PRESSURE SWITCHES
The TCM relies on five pressure switches to monitor fluid pressure in the L/R, 2C, 4C, UD, and OD
hydraulic circuits. The primary purpose of these switches is to help the TCM detect when clutch
circuit hydraulic failures occur. The switches close at 23 psi and open at 11 psi, and simply indicate
whether or not pressure exists. The switches are continuously monitored by the TCM for the
correct states (open or closed) in each gear as shown in the following charts and 545RFE

result is an apply or release of a frictional element.
The MS and UD solenoids are normally applied to allow transmission limp-in in the event of an
electrical failure.
The continuity of the solenoids and circuits are periodically tested. Each solenoid is turned on or off
depending on its current state. An inductive spike should be detected by the TCM during this test. If
no spike is detected, the circuit is tested again to verify the failure. In addition to the periodic
testing, the solenoid circuits are tested if a speed ratio or pressure switch error occurs.
PRESSURE SWITCHES
The TCM relies on five pressure switches to monitor fluid pressure in the L/R, 2C, 4C, UD, and OD
hydraulic circuits. The primary purpose of these switches is to help the TCM detect when clutch
circuit hydraulic failures occur. The switches close at 23 psi and open at 11 psi, and simply indicate
whether or not pressure exists. The switches are continuously monitored by the TCM for the
correct states (open or closed) in each gear as shown in the following charts and

Throttle Valve Solenoid: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION
On vehicles equipped with a Cummins diesel engine, the transmission throttle valve cable has
been replace by the transmission throttle valve actuator (TTVA). The TTVA consists of an electric
DC motor, two potentiometers, and a gear drive system. The TTVA is mechanically connected to
the transmission throttle valve in the valve body by the "D" shaped opening in the bottom of the
TTVA shaft. Changes in the TTVA position are therefore transferred to the throttle valve and cause
changes in the transmission throttle pressure.

Throttle Valve Solenoid: Adjustments
ADJUSTMENT
The Transmission Throttle Valve Actuator (TTVA) does not require any mechanical adjustments.
All changes in throttle valve position are controlled by the Engine Control Module (ECM).
The TTVA does require an initialization period after the actuator has been removed or replaced.
After the actuator has been removed or replaced, move the ignition to the ON position for thirty (30)
seconds. This will allow the ECM sufficient time to perform the internal calibration procedures to
learn the TTVA's current "zero" position. Once this is done, check the ECM for diagnostic trouble
codes (DTCs). If no DTCs are set relating to the TTVA, the TTVA is fully calibrated and ready for
use.

Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid: Description and Operation 42RLE Automatic Transmission
Description
DESCRIPTION
The Solenoid/Pressure Switch Assembly (1) is inside the transmission and mounted to the valve
body assembly. The assembly consists of four solenoids that control hydraulic pressure to the L/R,
2/4, OD, and UD friction elements (transmission clutches), and the torque converter clutch. The
reverse clutch is controlled by line pressure from the manual valve in the valve body. The solenoids
are contained within the Solenoid/Pressure Switch Assembly, and can only be serviced by
replacing the assembly.
The solenoid assembly also contains pressure switches that monitor and send hydraulic circuit
information to the TCM. Likewise, the pressure switches can only be service by replacing the
assembly.
Operation
OPERATION
SOLENOIDS
The solenoids receive electrical power from the Transmission Control Relay through a single wire.
The TCM energizes or operates the solenoids individually by grounding the return wire of the
solenoid needed. When a solenoid is energized, the solenoid valve shifts, and a fluid passage is
opened or closed (vented or applied), depending on its default operating state. The result is an
apply or release of a frictional element.
The 2/4 and UD solenoids are normally applied, which allows fluid to pass through in their relaxed
or "off" state. By design, this allows transmission limp-in (P,R,N,2) in the event of an electrical
failure.
The continuity of the solenoids and circuits are periodically tested. Each solenoid is turned on or off
depending on its current state. An inductive spike should be detected by the TCM during this test. If
no spike is detected, the circuit is tested again to verify the failure. In addition to the periodic
testing, the solenoid circuits are tested if a speed ratio or pressure switch error occurs.
PRESSURE SWITCHES
The TCM relies on three pressure switches to monitor fluid pressure in the L/R, 2/4, and OD
hydraulic circuits. The primary purpose of these switches is to help the TCM detect when clutch
circuit hydraulic failures occur. The range for the pressure switch closing and opening points is
11-23 psi. Typically the switch opening point will be approximately one psi lower than the closing
point. For example, a switch may close at 18 psi and open at 17 psi. The switches are continuously
monitored by the TCM for the correct states (open or closed) in each gear as shown in the
following chart:

Information > Description and Operation > 42RLE Automatic Transmission > Page 9085
A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set if the TCM senses any switch open or closed at the
wrong time in a given gear.
The TCM also tests the 2/4 and OD pressure switches when they are normally off (OD and 2/4 are
tested in 1st gear, OD in 2nd gear, and 2/4 in 3rd gear). The test simply verifies that they are
operational, by looking for a closed state when the corresponding element is applied. Immediately
after a shift into 1st, 2nd, or 3rd gear with the engine speed above 1000 rpm, the TCM momentarily
turns on element pressure to the 2/4 and/or OD clutch circuits to identify that the appropriate switch
has closed. If it doesn't close, it is tested again. If the switch fails to close the second time, the
appropriate Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set.

SOLENOIDS
Solenoids are used to control the L/R, 2C, 4C, OD, and UD friction elements. The reverse clutch is
controlled by line pressure and the position of the manual valve in the valve body. All the solenoids

switch assembly contains one additional solenoid, Multi-Select (MS), which serves primarily to
provide 2nd and 3rd gear limp-in operation.
The solenoids receive electrical power from the Transmission Control Relay through a single wire.
The TCM energizes or operates the solenoids individually by grounding the return wire of the

Overdrive Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
An overdrive off indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. However, on vehicles
not equipped with an optional overdrive automatic transmission, this indicator is electronically
disabled. This indicator is located on the right side of the instrument cluster, to the right of the
coolant temperature gauge.
The overdrive off indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the text O/D OFF in the opaque layer
of the instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from
being clearly visible when it is not illuminated. An amber Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the
cutout in the opaque layer of the overlay causes the indicator to appear in amber through the
translucent outer layer of the overlay when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is
soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
When the exterior lighting is turned ON, the illumination intensity of the overdrive off indicator is
dimmable, which is adjusted along with the cluster general illumination lighting using the panel
lamps dimmer thumbwheel on the headlamp switch.
The overdrive off indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Overdrive Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The overdrive off indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the overdrive-OFF
position of the tow/haul switch has been selected, disabling the electronically controlled overdrive
feature of the automatic transmission. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument
cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received by the
cluster from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data
bus.
The overdrive off indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument
cluster logic circuit, and that logic will only allow this indicator to operate when the instrument
cluster receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit.
Therefore, the LED will always be OFF when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or
START. The LED only illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster
transistor. The instrument cluster will turn ON the overdrive off indicator for the following reasons:
- Overdrive Off Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic
overdrive off indicator lamp-ON message from the PCM indicating that the overdrive-OFF position
of the tow/haul switch has been selected, the indicator will be illuminated. The indicator remains
illuminated until the cluster receives a lamp-OFF message from the PCM, or until the ignition switch
is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the overdrive off indicator will
be turned ON, then OFF again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality
of the LED and the cluster control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the tow/haul switch to determine the proper outputs to the automatic
transmission. The PCM then sends the proper lamp-ON or lamp-OFF message to the
ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN).
For further diagnosis of the overdrive off indicator or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the
indicator, Refer to appropriate testing.
For proper diagnosis of the transmission control system, the PCM, the EMIC, the CAN data bus or
the electronic communication related to overdrive off indicator operation a diagnostic scan tool is
required. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

A transmission over-temperature indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters.
However, on vehicles not equipped with an optional automatic transmission, this indicator is
electronically disabled. This indicator is located in the lower portion of the tachometer dial face in
the instrument cluster overlay.
The transmission over-temperature indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the International
Control and Display Symbol icon for Transmission Temperature in the opaque layer of the
instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being
clearly visible when it is not illuminated. A red Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the
opaque layer of the overlay causes the indicator to appear in red through the translucent outer
layer of the overlay when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the
instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
The transmission over-temperature indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Temperature Warning Indicator - A/T: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The transmission over-temperature indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the
transmission fluid temperature is excessive, which may lead to accelerated transmission
component wear or failure. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument cluster
circuit board based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received over the
Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
The transmission over-temperature indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by
the instrument cluster logic circuit, and that logic will only allow this indicator to operate when the
instrument cluster receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start)
circuit. Therefore, the LED will always be OFF when the ignition switch is in any position except ON
or START. The LED only illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster
transistor. The instrument cluster will turn ON the transmission over-temperature indicator for the
following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position the transmission
over-temperature indicator is illuminated for about two seconds as a bulb test.
- Trans Over-Temp Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic
trans over-temp indicator lamp-ON message from the PCM indicating that the transmission fluid
temperature is 135 °C (275 °F) or higher, the indicator will be illuminated and a single chime tone is
sounded. The indicator remains illuminated until the cluster receives a lamp-OFF message from
the PCM, or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first. The chime
tone feature will only repeat during the same ignition cycle if the indicator is cycled OFF and then
ON again by the appropriate lamp-ON and lamp-OFF messages from the PCM.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the transmission
over-temperature indicator will be turned ON, then OFF again during the bulb check portion of the
test to confirm the functionality of the LED and the cluster control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the transmission temperature sensor to determine the transmission
operating condition. The PCM then sends the proper lamp-ON or lamp-OFF message to the
ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN). If
the instrument cluster illuminates the transmission over-temperature indicator due to a high
transmission oil temperature condition, it may indicate that the transmission or the transmission
cooling system are being overloaded, or that they require service. For further diagnosis of the
transmission over-temperature indicator or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the LED,
Refer to appropriate testing.
For proper diagnosis of the transmission temperature sensor, the PCM, the EMIC, the CAN data
bus or the electronic communication related to transmission over-temperature indicator operation a
diagnostic scan tool is required. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Transmission Mode Indicator - A/T: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
An electronic automatic transmission gear selector indicator is standard factory-installed equipment
on this vehicle. However, on vehicles not equipped with an optional automatic transmission, this
indicator is electronically disabled. The gear selector indicator information is displayed in an
electronic, blue-green Vacuum-Fluorescent Display (VFD) unit. This VFD unit is soldered onto the
cluster electronic circuit board and is visible through a window with a smoked clear lens located on
the lower edge of the speedometer dial face of the cluster overlay. The dark lens over the VFD
prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated.
The gear selector indicator displays the following characters from left to right: P, R, N, D, 2, and 1.
Each character appears in a blue-green color and at the same lighting level as the odometer
information. Respectively, these characters represent the PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL, DRIVE,
second gear, and first gear positions of the transmission gear selector lever on the steering
column. The indicator illuminates a rectangular box around the character that represents the
currently selected lever position.
During daylight hours (exterior lamps are OFF) the gear selector indicator is illuminated at full
brightness for clear visibility. At night (exterior lamps are ON), the indicator lighting level is adjusted
with the other cluster general illumination lamps using the panel lamps dimmer thumbwheel on the
headlamp switch. However, a PARADE mode position of the panel lamps dimmer thumbwheel
allows the indicator to be illuminated at full brightness if the exterior lamps are turned ON during
daylight hours.
The gear selector indicator is serviced as a unit with the VFD unit in the instrument cluster.

Transmission Mode Indicator - A/T: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The electronic gear selector indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator of the transmission
gear that has been selected with the automatic transmission gear selector lever. This indicator is
controlled by the instrument cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming. The cluster
circuitry automatically configures itself for the proper transmission type based upon the hard wired
transmission range sensor mux circuit input to the cluster.
The gear selector indicator information is displayed by the odometer/trip odometer Vacuum
Fluorescent Display (VFD) unit soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board, and
the VFD will not display the gear selector indicator information after the ignition switch is turned to
the OFF position. Each time the cluster is disconnected from battery current for more than about
five minutes, it must configure itself for the automatic transmission type that is in the vehicle once it
is reconnected to battery current. The instrument cluster circuitry configures the gear selector
indicator based upon the following inputs from the transmission range sensor:
- Open Circuit - If the cluster is configured for an automatic transmission and the transmission
range sensor mux circuit is open, the cluster circuitry controls the gear selector indicator display
based upon an electronic selected gear message received from the Transmission Control Module
(TCM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus. If the Transmission Range Sensor (TRS)
mux circuit is open and no electronic selected gear messages are received from the TCM within
two seconds, the instrument cluster circuitry will not display any gear selector position until the
condition is resolved or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Resolved Circuit - If the transmission range sensor mux circuit is resolved, the cluster circuitry
controls the gear selector indicator display based upon the resistance value of the hard wired input
from the TRS. If the cluster is configured for an automatic transmission with a TRS input and
detects a short to ground or an open in the TRS mux input, the instrument cluster circuitry will not
display any gear selector position in the VFD. The VFD display for the short-to-ground and open
circuit conditions will continue until the condition is resolved or until the ignition switch is turned to
the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the odometer/trip odometer
VFD will display all of its characters at once, then step through each character segment individually
during the VFD portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the VFD and the cluster control
circuitry.
On vehicles with a TCM, the TCM continually monitors the TRS, then sends the proper message to
the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment
Node/CCN). On vehicles without a TCM, the EMIC continually monitors the hard wired TRS
multiplexed input. On vehicles with a TCM, for proper diagnosis of the TRS, the TCM, the EMIC,
the CAN data bus or the electronic communication related to gear selector indicator operation a
diagnostic scan tool is required.

Malfunction Indicator Lamp - Transfer Case: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The service 4WD indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the Totally Integrated
Power Module (TIPM) has recorded a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for an electronic transfer
case circuit or component malfunction. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument
cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received by the
cluster from the TIPM over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The service 4WD indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument
cluster logic circuit, and that logic will only allow this indicator to operate when the instrument
cluster receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit.
Therefore, the LED will always be OFF when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or
START. The LED only illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster
transistor. The instrument cluster will turn ON the service 4WD indicator for the following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position the service 4WD indicator is
illuminated for about two seconds as a bulb test.
- Service 4WD Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic service
4WD indicator lamp-ON message from the TIPM, the service 4WD indicator will be illuminated. The
indicator remains illuminated until the cluster receives a lamp-OFF message from the TIPM, or until
the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Communication Error - If the cluster receives no lamp-ON or lamp-OFF messages from the TIPM
for 10 seconds the service 4WD indicator is illuminated by the cluster to indicate a loss of TIPM
communication. The indicator remains controlled and illuminated by the cluster until a valid
message is received from the TIPM.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the service 4WD indicator
will be turned ON, then OFF again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the
functionality of the LED and the cluster control circuitry.
The TIPM continually monitors the electronic transfer case control circuits and transfer case shift
motor/mode sensor assembly to determine the condition of the system. The TIPM then sends the
proper lamp-ON or lamp-OFF message to the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also
known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN). For further diagnosis of the service 4WD indicator or
the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the LED, Refer to appropriate testing.
For proper diagnosis of the TIPM, the EMIC, the CAN data bus or the electronic communication
related to service 4WD indicator operation a diagnostic scan tool is required. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.

Control Module: Description and Operation Transmission Control Module - Operation
OPERATION
RLE and RFE TRANSMISSIONS
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) controls all electronic operations of the transmission. The
TCM receives information regarding vehicle operation from both direct and indirect inputs, and
selects the operational mode of the transmission. Direct inputs are hard wired to, and used
specifically by the TCM. Indirect inputs are shared with the TCM via the vehicle communication
bus.
Some examples of direct inputs to the TCM are:
- Battery (B+) voltage
- Ignition "ON" voltage
- Transmission Control Relay (Switched B+) (if equipped)
- Throttle Position Sensor
- Crankshaft Position Sensor
- Transmission Range Sensor
- Pressure Switches
- Transmission Temperature Sensor
- Input Shaft Speed Sensor
- Output Shaft Speed Sensor
- Line Pressure Sensor
Some examples of indirect inputs to the TCM are:
- Target Idle
- Torque Reduction Confirmation
- Engine Coolant Temperature
- Ambient/Battery Temperature
- Scan Tool Communication
Based on the information received from these various inputs, the TCM determines the appropriate
shift schedule and shift points, depending on the present operating conditions and driver demand.
This is possible through the control of various direct and indirect outputs.
Some examples of TCM direct outputs are:
- Transmission Control Relay
- Solenoids
- Torque Reduction Request
Some examples of TCM indirect outputs are:
- Transmission Temperature (to PCM)
- PRNDL Position (to cluster/CCN)
In addition to monitoring inputs and controlling outputs, the TCM has other important
responsibilities and functions:
- Storing and maintaining Clutch Volume Indexes (CVI)
- Storing and selecting appropriate Shift Schedules
- System self-diagnostics
- Diagnostic capabilities (with scan tool)
NOTE: If the TCM has been replaced, the "Quick Learn Procedure" must be performed. See:
Testing and Inspection/Programming and Relearning/Transmission Control Module/TCM Quick
Learn
BATTERY FEED
A fused, direct battery feed to the TCM is used for continuous power. This battery voltage is
necessary to retain memory in the TCM. When the battery (B+) is disconnected, this memory is
lost. When the battery (B+) is restored, this memory loss is detected by the TCM and a Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) is set.
CLUTCH VOLUME INDEXES (CVI)
Dodge Ram 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (Truck V8-4.7L (2008))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Transmission Control Systems > Relays and Modules Transmission and Drivetrain > Relays and Modules - A/T > Control Module, A/T > Component Information > Description and
Operation > Transmission Control Module - Description > Page 9212
An important function of the TCM is to monitor Clutch Volume Indexes (CVI). CVIs represent the
volume of fluid needed to compress a clutch pack.
The TCM monitors gear ratio changes by monitoring the Input and Output Speed Sensors. The
Input, or Turbine Speed Sensor sends an electrical signal to the TCM that represents input shaft
rpm. The Output Speed Sensor provides the TCM with output shaft speed information.
By comparing the two inputs, the TCM can determine transmission gear position. This is important
to the CVI calculation because the TCM determines CVIs by monitoring how long it takes for a gear
change to occur.
Gear ratios can be determined by using the Scan Tool and reading the Input/Output Speed Sensor
values in the "Monitors" display. Gear ratio can be obtained by dividing the Input Speed Sensor
value by the Output Speed Sensor value.
For example, if the input shaft is rotating at 1000 rpm and the output shaft is rotating at 500 rpm,
then the TCM can determine that the gear ratio is 2:1. In direct drive (3rd gear), the gear ratio
changes to 1:1. The gear ratio changes as clutches are applied and released. By monitoring the
length of time it takes for the gear ratio to change following a shift request, the TCM can determine
the volume of fluid used to apply or release a friction element.
The volume of transmission fluid needed to apply the friction elements are continuously updated for
adaptive controls. As friction material wears, the volume of fluid need to apply the element
increases.
Certain mechanical problems within the input clutch assembly can cause inadequate or
out-of-range element volumes. Also, defective Input/Output Speed Sensors and wiring can cause
these conditions. The following charts identifies the appropriate clutch volumes and when they are
monitored/updated:

Operation > Transmission Control Module - Description > Page 9213
SHIFT SCHEDULES
As mentioned earlier, the TCM has programming that allows it to select a variety of shift schedules.
Shift schedule selection is dependent on the following:
- Shift lever position
- Throttle position
- Engine load
- Fluid temperature
- Software level
As driving conditions change, the TCM appropriately adjusts the shift schedule. Refer to the
following chart to determine the appropriate operation expected, depending on driving conditions.

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
All switches, components, and modules are shown in the at rest position with the doors closed and
the key removed from the ignition.
Components are shown two ways. A solid line around a component indicates that the component is
complete. A dashed line around the component indicates that the component is being shown is not
complete. Incomplete components have a reference number to indicate the page where the
component is shown complete.
It is important to realize that no attempt is made on the diagrams to represent components and
wiring as they appear on the vehicle. For example, a short piece of wire is treated the same as a
long one. In addition, switches and other components are shown as simply as possible, with regard
to function only.

Connector, Ground and Splice Information
DESCRIPTION - CONNECTOR, GROUND AND SPLICE INFORMATION
CAUTION: Not all connectors are serviced. Some connectors are serviced only with a harness. A
typical example might be the Supplemental Restraint System connectors. Always check parts
availability before attempting a repair.
IDENTIFICATION
In-line connectors are identified by a number, as follows:
- In-line connectors located in the engine compartment are C100 series numbers.
- In-line connectors located in the instrument panel area are C200 series numbers.
- In-line connectors located in the body are C300 series numbers.
- Jumper harness connectors are C400 series numbers.
- Grounds and ground connectors are identified with a "G" and follow the same series numbering
as the in-line connectors.
- Splices are identified with an "S" and follow the same series numbering as the in-line connectors.
In addition, S001-S099 numbers are located in the engine compartment.
- Component connectors are identified by the component name instead of a number. Multiple
connectors on a component use a C1, C2, etc. identifier.

Transmission Control System Relay: Diagnostic Aids
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Sensitive Devices
STANDARD PROCEDURE - ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) SENSITIVE DEVICES
All ESD sensitive components are solid state and a symbol is used to indicate this. When handling
any component with this symbol, comply with the following procedures to reduce the possibility of
electrostatic charge build up on the body and inadvertent discharge into the component. If it is not
known whether the part is ESD sensitive, assume that it is.
1. Always touch a known good ground before handling the part. This should be repeated while
handling the part and more frequently after sliding
across a seat, sitting down from a standing position, or walking a distance.
2. Avoid touching electrical terminals of the part, unless instructed to do so by a written procedure.
3. When using a voltmeter, be sure to connect the ground lead first. 4. Do not remove the part from
it's protective packing until it is time to install the part. 5. Before removing the part from it's
package, ground the package to a known good ground on the vehicle.

Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- Ohmmeter - Used to check the resistance between two points of a circuit. Low or no resistance in
a circuit means good continuity.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking resistance in these circuits use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
In addition, make sure the power is disconnected from the circuit. Circuits that are powered up by
the vehicle's electrical system can cause damage to the equipment and provide false readings.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Transmission Control Systems > Relays and Modules Transmission and Drivetrain > Relays and Modules - A/T > Transmission Control System Relay, A/T > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 9236
- Probing Tools - These tools are used for probing terminals in connectors. Select the proper size
tool from Special Tool Package 6807, and insert the probing end (2) into the terminal being tested.
Use the other end of the tool (1) to insert the meter probe.
INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent electrical problems are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. It is also
possible for a sticking component or relay to cause a problem. Before condemning a component or
wiring assembly, check the following items.
- Connectors are fully seated
- Spread terminals, or terminal push out
- Terminals in the wiring assembly are fully seated into the connector/component and locked into
position
- Dirt or corrosion on the terminals. Any amount of corrosion or dirt could cause an intermittent
problem
- Damaged connector/component casing exposing the item to dirt or moisture
- Wire insulation that has rubbed through causing a short to ground
- Some or all of the wiring strands broken inside of the insulation
- Wiring broken inside of the insulation
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are six steps which can aid in the procedure. The
steps are listed and explained below. Always check for non-factory items added to the vehicle
before doing any diagnosis. If the vehicle is equipped with these items, disconnect them to verify
these add-on items are not the cause of the problem.
1. Verify the problem. 2. Verify any related symptoms. Do this by performing operational checks on
components that are in the same circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams. 3. Analyze the symptoms.
Use the wiring diagrams to determine what the circuit is doing, where the problem most likely is
occurring and where the
diagnosis will continue.
4. Isolate the problem area. 5. Repair the problem area. 6. Verify the proper operation. For this
step, check for proper operation of all items on the repaired circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams.

Control Module: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM) functionality now resides in the Totally Integrated
Power Module (TIPM), refer to the TIPM information for location and additional information. The
TIPM controls the 4X4 transfer case shift functions via the actuation of a shift motor and utilizing
the feedback of a mode sensor assembly. Communication is via the CAN bus. Inputs include user
selectable 4X4 modes that include 2WD, AWD, 4HI, 4LO, and Neutral (selections vary with the
specific transfer case).

Control Module: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM) functionality in the Totally Integrated Power Module
(TIPM) utilizes the input from the transfer case mounted mode sensor, the instrument panel
mounted selector switch, and the following information from the vehicle's CAN bus to determine if a
shift is allowed.
- Engine RPM and Vehicle Speed
- Diagnostic Requests
- Manual Transmission and Brake Applied
- PRNDL
- Ignition Status
- ABS Messages
Once the TIP determines that a requested shift is allowed, it actuates the bi-directional shift motor
as necessary to achieve the desired transfer case operating mode. The TIPM also monitors the
mode sensor while controlling the shift motor to determine the status of the shift attempt.
Several items can cause the requested shift not to be completed. If the TIPM has recognized a
fault (DTC) of some variety, it will begin operation in one of four Functionality Levels. These levels
are:
- Level Zero - Normal Operation.
- Level One - Only Mode Shifts Are Allowed.
- Level Two - Only Mode Shifts and Shifts Into LOW Are Allowed (No Neutral Shifts Are Allowed).
- Level Three - No Shifts Are Allowed
The TIPM can also be operating in one of three possible power modes. These power modes are:
- Full Power Mode is the normal operational mode of the module. This mode is achieved by normal
CAN bus traffic being present and the ignition being in the RUN position.
Reduced Power Mode will be entered when the ignition has been powered off. In this state, the
module will shut down power supplied to external devices, and to electronic interface inputs and
outputs. From this state the module can enter either Sleep Mode or Full Power Mode. To enter this
mode, the module must receive an ignition message denoting that the ignition is off, or not receive
any messages for 5 ±0.5 seconds. To exit this mode, the module must receive one ignition
message that denotes that the ignition is in the RUN position.
- Sleep Mode will be entered, from the Reduced Power Mode, when no CAN traffic has been
sensed for 20 ±1 seconds. If during Sleep Mode the module detects CAN bus traffic, it will revert to
the Reduced Power mode while monitoring for ignition messages. It will remain in this state as long
as there is traffic other than run or start messages, and will return to Sleep mode if the bus goes
without traffic for 20 ±1 seconds.
SHIFT REQUIREMENTS
If the TIPM is in full power mode and at functionality level zero, it uses the following criteria to
determine if a shift is allowed.
If any of the driver controllable conditions are not met once the shift request is recognized, the
TIPM will solidly illuminate the source position's LED and flash the desired position's LED for all
shifts except NEUTRAL. The NEUTRAL shift LED strategy will be discussed later.
Mode shifts will be allowed regardless of transmission gear or vehicle speed, whenever the
following conditions are met:
- Front and rear wheel speed are within 21 km/h (13 mph).
- A change in the Selector switch state indicates that a mode shift has been requested.
- A valid mode sensor signal is being sensed by the TIPM.
- Proper transmit/receive messages are occurring on the CAN bus.
- Ignition key switch is in the RUN position.
Range shifts will be allowed only if all of the following conditions are met:
- Front and rear wheel speed are within 21 km/h (13 mph).
- A change in the Selector Switch state indicating a range shift has been requested.
- Transmission in NEUTRAL signal must be recognized for at least 1.5 seconds ±100 msec.
(Automatic transmissions only)
- Proper transmit/receive messages are occurring on the CAN bus.
- Clutch signal is recognized for 500 msec ± 50 msec (Manual transmissions only).
- Vehicle speed is less than or equal to 4.8 km/h (3 mph).

- A valid mode sensor signal is being sensed by the TIPM.
SHIFT SEQUENCES
Once all the driver controllable conditions for the requested shift have been met, the TIPM begins a
shift timer with a maximum duration of 1 second per 'D' channel transition. If the shift timer expires
before the TIPM recognizes to correct mode sensor code, the shift is considered to have been
blocked. The blocked shift will increment the blocked shift counter by one. The TIPM strategy for
handling blocked shifts will be described later. The process the TIPM performs for the various shifts
will be described first.
RANGE AND MODE SHIFTS
The process for performing all the range and mode shifts are the same. The following steps
describe the process.
- Allow time for Selector Switch debounce; 250 msec ±50 msec.
- Extinguish the source gear's LED while flashing desired transfer case position's LED.
- Engage the shift motor for a maximum of 1 second ±100 msec per 'D' channel transition in the
destination gear's direction while monitoring the mode sensor channel transitions.
- Disengage the shift motor when the correct mode sensor code is recognized.
- Solidly illuminate the selected gear's LED.
- Transmit a bus message that the transfer case shift is complete.
- If the desired mode sensor code is not received after the shift timer expires (ie. a blocked or other
condition exists), stop driving the motor and wait for 200 msec ±50 msec. The shift motor is then
reversed in the direction back toward the source gear for up to 1.0 seconds ±100 msec. per 'D'
channel. The TIPM waits for 2.0 seconds ±50 msec. and repeats the attempt to shift to the desired
position.
The exception to the preceding sequence is when a shift from 4L to 2WD/AWD is requested. If
2WD/AWD is requested from the 4L position, the transfer case is first driven to the 4H position. If
the 4H position is reached, the transfer case is then driven back to the 2WD/AWD position and the
shift is considered complete. If the transfer case does not reach any the 4H position, but is in the
2WD/AWD 'D' channel, or the 2WD/AWD between gear position on the 4H side of 2WD/AWD, the
shift is also considered complete.
SHIFT OUT OF NEUTRAL
The following steps describe the process for a shift out of NEUTRAL.
- Extinguish the Neutral LED.
- Engage the shift motor for a maximum of 1 second ±100 msec toward the transfer case 4H mode
position while monitoring the mode sensor channel transitions.
- Disengage the shift motor when the correct mode sensor code is recognized.
- Extinguish the Neutral LED.
- Transmit a bus message that the transfer case shift is complete.
- If the desired mode sensor code is not received after the shift timer expires (ie. a blocked or other
condition exists), stop driving the motor and wait for 200 msec ±50 msec. The shift motor is then
reversed in the direction back toward the source gear for up to 1.0 seconds 100 msec. The
Dodge Ram 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (Truck V8-4.7L (2008))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Transmission Control Systems > Relays and Modules Transmission and Drivetrain > Relays and Modules - Transfer Case > Control Module, Transfer Case > Component
Information > Description and Operation > Description > Page 9262
TIPM waits for 2.0 seconds ±50 msec. and repeats the attempt to shift to the desired position.
- When the Neutral button is released, if the 4H position is the desired position, the shift is
complete. Illuminate the 4H LED.
- Otherwise when the Neutral button is released, if all of the shift requirements are being met then
engage the shift motor towards the desired position for 1 second ±100 msec per 'D' channel. (if
requirements for shifting are not met, illuminate the 4H LED and flash the destination LED as an
indication to the driver that all of the driver controllable shift conditions are not being met). If this
requires another range or mode shift, begin the range/mode shift process.
- If the desired mode sensor code is not received after the shift timer expires (i.e. a blocked or other
condition exists), refer to the Blocked Shift Strategy.
BLOCKED SHIFT STRATEGY
When a shift is commanded, the shift motor will be driven towards its destination position, except in
the case of shifting out of Neutral if 4L was selected (the transfer case will shift to the 4H position
first, before proceeding to 4L). If the shift is blocked on the way to the destination, the TIPM may
attempt to drive the motor back to the original position. This process will be allowed to occur 5
times. If the transfer case has reached a non-NEUTRAL 'D' channel during the shift re-attempts,
the LED for the achieved gear position is illuminated and the shift attempts are stopped. To
re-attempt the desired shift, the selector switch will need to be rotated to the current position until
the switch debounce timer expires then a shift will need to be requested again.
At the end of the 5th blocked attempt, the shift motor is driven towards the last known 'D' channel
position. If this motor drive allows the transfer case to reach the 2WD/AWD 'D' channel, or the
2WD/AWD between gear position on the 4H side of 2WD/AWD, the shift is considered complete
and the shift attempts are ended.
If the mode sensor is in the NEUTRAL region at the expiration of the shift timer, the TIPM will
continue to make the shift attempts according to the blocked shift strategy independent of whether
or not the driver controlled conditions are met.
For shifts from NEUTRAL, if all 5 attempts fail to reach the desired position (which by default is
4H), the motor will be driven to stall in the direction of 4H or 4L, depending on the achieved
position. If the transfer case has reached the 2WD/AWD or 4L between gear position nearest the
NEUTRAL positions and the shift conditions are no longer being met, the transfer case will be
driven toward the corresponding 'D' channel. Otherwise, the transfer case will be driven in the
direction opposite the last attempt with the desired target being 4H or 4L.
If the transfer case reaches the 2WD/AWD 'D' channel when being driven in the 4H direction, then
one final 1.0 second drive toward 4H is attempted. If the transfer case then reaches any of the 4H
positions, the shift is considered complete and the 4H LED is illuminated. If the transfer case is still
the 2WD/AWD position, the shift is considered complete and the 2WD/AWD LED is illuminated.
NOTE: If after the 5th blocked shift and reversal attempt, if the transfer case position is in the
NEUTRAL region, shift attempts will continue until a non-NEUTRAL 'D' channel is reached.
SHIFT REVERSAL TARGETS
If the shift timer expires (1 second per 'D' channel) and the transfer case has not reached the
desired position, all shifts will attempt to return to their original position with the exceptions of:
- If the intended shift is going to the High rail from Low and can't make it, but it can make the
2WD/AWD position, the motor stops at that position. The TIPM will not attempt to cross back over
NEUTRAL if it does not have to. This means that there was a block on the first attempt to go to 4H
and the transfer case has made it through NEUTRAL to a known good position, then the motor will
go back only to the 2WD/4WD position and execute the remainder of the attempts from there.
- For shifts out of NEUTRAL, any time a shift is commanded out of NEUTRAL, the system needs to
get out. The TIPM should never go to NEUTRAL unless the driver is commanding it and all
required conditions are being met
ENCODER DRIFT CORRECTION
Whenever a shift is completed, the TIPM stores the position in memory as the transfer case's
intended position. The TIPM continuously monitors the mode sensor and if the mode sensor drifts
toward into a NEUTRAL region sensor position for 2.0 seconds, the TIPM will perform a motor
drive to correct the drift. The transfer case will be driven toward the intended position for 1.0
seconds 100 msec. The TIPM will wait for 2.0 seconds ±50 msec. and repeat the attempt to shift to
the desired position. This will continue until the intended position is reached.
SHIFT MOTOR BRAKING
Two modes of shift motor braking are employed to improve shift performance, static and dynamic.
Static shift motor braking is utilized under the following conditions:
- Whenever the transfer case is in the 2WD/AWD or 4L 'D' channel position.
- Whenever an invalid mode sensor code is present.
Static motor braking is achieved by applying +12V on both shift motor wires.
Dodge Ram 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (Truck V8-4.7L (2008))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Transmission and Drivetrain > Transmission Control Systems > Relays and Modules Transmission and Drivetrain > Relays and Modules - Transfer Case > Control Module, Transfer Case > Component
Information > Description and Operation > Description > Page 9263
NOTE: Static Shift Motor Braking is independent of ignition key position.
SHIFT ATTEMPT LIMIT
To protect the transfer case system, the TIPM will impose a limit on the number of shifts that can
occur over a calibrated time period. The system will monitor the number of 'D' channel segment
transitions that occur in any 30 second time period. If the number of segment transitions is 30 or
greater, the system will go into a default mode. The default mode of operation for shifting is that the
number of allowed 'D' channel transitions permitted to occur will be 3 over each 15 second ±100
msec calibrated window of time. After 5 minutes ±100 msec, the motor can be assumed to have
cooled down and the system will revert to normal operation. The following rules also apply to the
shift limit:
- The attempt limit will not prevent shifts coming out of NEUTRAL, they will be allowed regardless
of the counter/timer.
- Any shift that is in progress when the counter reaches a maximum count in time will be allowed to
complete before the default mode is entered. D-channel transitions during this period will not be
counted towards the default mode limit.
- A block, regardless of the direction, whether towards destination or back towards reversal target
(shift timer expiring), will count as a value of 2 transitions towards the 30 segment transitions to go
into default mode as defined above. Current attempt limit values are 30 transitions in 30 seconds
and default mode values are 3 transitions every 15 seconds for 5 minutes.

Description
DESCRIPTION
The line pressure sensor (2) is mounted on the top of the valve body, next to the pressure control
solenoid (1).
The TCM utilizes a closed-loop system to control transmission line pressure. The system contains
a variable force style solenoid, the Pressure Control Solenoid. The solenoid is duty cycle controlled
by the TCM to vent the unnecessary line pressure supplied by the oil pump back to the sump. The
system also contains a variable pressure style sensor, the Line Pressure Sensor, which is a direct
input to the TCM. The line pressure solenoid monitors the transmission line pressure and
completes the feedback loop to the TCM. The TCM uses this information to adjust its control of the
pressure control solenoid to achieve the desired line pressure.
Operation
OPERATION
The TCM calculates the desired line pressure based upon inputs from the transmission and engine.
The TCM calculates the torque input to the transmission and uses that information as the primary
input to the calculation. The line pressure is set to a predetermined value during shifts and when
the transmission is in the PARK and NEUTRAL positions. This is done to ensure consistent shift
quality. During all other operation, the actual line pressure is compared to the desired line pressure
and adjustments are made to the pressure control solenoid duty cycle.

Overdrive Switch: Testing and Inspection
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - OVERDRIVE ELECTRICAL CONTROLS
The tow/haul overdrive off switch, valve body solenoid, case connectors and related wiring can all
be tested with a 12 volt test lamp or a volt/ohmmeter. Check continuity of each component when
diagnosis indicates this is necessary.
Switch and solenoid continuity should be checked whenever the transmission fails to shift into
fourth gear range.

Shift Solenoid Position Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The transmission solenoid/TRS assembly is internal to the transmission and mounted on the valve
body assembly. The assembly consists of six solenoids that control hydraulic pressure to the six
friction elements (transmission clutches), and the torque converter clutch. The pressure control
solenoid is located on the side of the solenoid/TRS assembly. The solenoid/TRS assembly also
contains the Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) and five pressure switches that feed information to
the TCM.

Shift Solenoid Position Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
SOLENOIDS
Solenoids are used to control the L/R, 2C, 4C, OD, and UD friction elements. The reverse clutch is
controlled by line pressure and the position of the manual valve in the valve body. All the solenoids
are contained within the Solenoid and Pressure Switch Assembly. The solenoid and pressure
switch assembly contains one additional solenoid, Multi-Select (MS), which serves primarily to
provide 2nd and 3rd gear limp-in operation.
The solenoids receive electrical power from the Transmission Control Relay through a single wire.
The TCM energizes or operates the solenoids individually by grounding the return wire of the
solenoid as necessary. When a solenoid is energized, the solenoid valve shifts, and a fluid
passage is opened or closed (vented or applied), depending on its default operating state. The
result is an apply or release of a frictional element.
The MS and UD solenoids are normally applied to allow transmission limp-in in the event of an
electrical failure.
The continuity of the solenoids and circuits are periodically tested. Each solenoid is turned on or off
depending on its current state. An inductive spike should be detected by the TCM during this test. If
no spike is detected, the circuit is tested again to verify the failure. In addition to the periodic
testing, the solenoid circuits are tested if a speed ratio or pressure switch error occurs.
PRESSURE SWITCHES
The TCM relies on five pressure switches to monitor fluid pressure in the L/R, 2C, 4C, UD, and OD
hydraulic circuits. The primary purpose of these switches is to help the TCM detect when clutch
circuit hydraulic failures occur. The switches close at 23 psi and open at 11 psi, and simply indicate
whether or not pressure exists. The switches are continuously monitored by the TCM for the
correct states (open or closed) in each gear as shown in the following charts and 545RFE
PRESSURE SWITCH STATES:
A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set if the TCM senses any switch open or closed at the
wrong time in a given gear.

Transmission Position Switch/Sensor: Description and Operation 42RLE Automatic Transmission
Description
DESCRIPTION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) (2) is mounted to the top of the valve body inside the
transmission and can only be serviced by removing the valve body assembly. The electrical
connector extends through the transmission case.
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) has four switch contacts that monitor shift lever position
and send the information to the PCM.
Operation
OPERATION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) communicates shift lever position (SLP) to the TCM as a
combination of open and closed switches. Each shift lever position has an assigned combination of
switch states (open/closed) that the TCM receives from four sense circuits. The TCM interprets this
information and determines the appropriate transmission gear position and shift schedule.
Since there are four switches, there are 16 possible combinations of open and closed switches
(codes). Seven of these codes are related to gear position and three are recognized as "between
gear" codes. This results in six codes which should never occur. These are called "invalid" codes.
An invalid code will result in a DTC, and the TCM will then determine the shift lever position based
on pressure switch data. This allows reasonably normal transmission operation with a TRS failure.

combination of open and closed switches. Each shift lever position has an assigned combination of
switch states (open/closed) that the TCM receives from four sense circuits. The TCM interprets this
information and determines the appropriate transmission gear position and shift schedule.
There are many possible combinations of open and closed switches (codes). Seven of these
possible codes are related to gear position and five are recognized as "between gear" codes. This
results in many codes which should never occur. These are called "invalid" codes. An invalid code
will result in a DTC, and the TCM will then determine the shift lever position based on pressure
switch data. This allows reasonably normal transmission operation with a TRS failure.

Transmission Position Switch/Sensor: Description and Operation 68RFE Automatic Transmission
Description
DESCRIPTION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) is part of the solenoid module, which is mounted to the top
of the valve body inside the transmission.
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) has five switch contact pins that:
- Determine shift lever position
- Supply ground to the Starter Relay in Park and Neutral only.
The TRS also has an integrated temperature sensor (thermistor) that communicates transmission
temperature to the TCM and PCM.
Operation
OPERATION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) communicates shift lever position to the TCM as a
combination of open and closed switches. Each shift lever position has an assigned combination of
switch states (open/closed) that the TCM receives from four sense circuits. The TCM interprets this
information and determines the appropriate transmission gear position and shift schedule.
There are many possible combinations of open and closed switches (codes). Five of these possible
codes correspond to valid gear position, there are two codes for the neutral position and three are
recognized as "between gear" codes. This results in many codes which should never occur. These
are called "invalid" codes. An invalid code will result in a DTC, and the TCM will then determine the
shift lever position based on pressure switch data. This allows reasonably normal transmission
operation with a TRS failure.

Transmission Position Switch/Sensor: Description and Operation 48RE Automatic Transmission
Description
DESCRIPTION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) has 3 primary functions:
- Provide a PARK/NEUTRAL start signal to the engine controller and the starter relay.
- Turn the Back-up lamps on when the transmission is in REVERSE and the engine (ignition) is on.
- Provide a transmission range signal to the instrument cluster.
The sensor is mounted in the transmission housing near the valve body, just above the pan rail. It's
in the same position as the Park/Neutral switch on other transmissions. The TRS contacts a
cammed surface on the manual valve lever. The cammed surface translates the rotational motion
of the manual lever into the linear motion of the sensor. The cammed surface on the manual lever
is comprised of two parts controlling the TRS signal: The insulator portion contacts the switch
poppet when the manual lever is not in PARK or NEUTRAL. The manual lever itself contacts the
poppet when the lever is in PARK or NEUTRAL; providing a ground for the signal from the starter
relay and the appropriate engine controller.

As the switch moves through its linear motion contacts slide across a circuit board which changes
the resistance between the range sensing pins of the switch. A power supply on the instrument
cluster provides a regulated voltage signal to the switch. The return signal is decoded by the
cluster, which then controls the PRNDL display to correspond with the correct transmission range.
A bus message of transmission range is also sent by the cluster. In REVERSE range a second
contact set closes the circuit providing power to the reverse lamps.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR (TRS)
NOTE: For all circuit identification in the following steps, Refer to the appropriate Wiring
Information.
1. Raise vehicle on suitable hoist. 2. Disconnect the vehicle's shift cable from the manual lever. 3.
With the manual lever in the PARK position (the PARK position is with the manual lever moved to
the full rearward position), measure the
resistance between the Park/Neutral Position Sense pin of the TRS and the transmission case. The
resistance should be less than 5 ohms.
4. With the manual lever in the NEUTRAL position (the NEUTRAL position is with the manual lever
moved two detents forward of the full
rearward position), measure the resistance between the Park/Neutral Position Sense pin of the
TRS and the transmission case. The resistance should be less than 5 ohms.
5. If the resistance is greater than 5 ohms in either of the previous steps, check for a dirty contact
between the tip of the TRS rod and the valve body
manual lever. If the contact is OK, replace the TRS.
6. With the manual lever in the REVERSE position (the REVERSE position is with the manual lever
moved one detent forward of the full rearward
position), measure the resistance between the Fused Ignition Switch Output and the Back-up Lamp
feed pins of the TRS. The resistance should be less than 5 ohms. If the resistance is greater than 5
ohms, replace the TRS.
7. With the manual lever in the PARK position (the PARK position is with the manual lever moved
to the full rearward position), measure the
resistance between the Transmission Range Sensor MUX and the Transmission Range Sensor 5V
Supply pins of the TRS. The resistance should be 522.2 ohms. If the resistance is not correct,
replace the TRS.
8. With the manual lever in the REVERSE position (the REVERSE position is with the manual lever
moved one detent forward of the full rearward
position), measure the resistance between the Transmission Range Sensor MUX and the
Transmission Range Sensor 5V Supply pins of the TRS. The resistance should be 206.2 ohms. If
the resistance is not correct, replace the TRS.
9. With the manual lever in the NEUTRAL position (the NEUTRAL position is with the manual lever
moved two detents forward of the full
rearward position), measure the resistance between the Transmission Range Sensor MUX and the
Transmission Range Sensor 5V Supply pins of the TRS. The resistance should be 108.6 ohms. If
the resistance is not correct, replace the TRS.
10. With the manual lever in the DRIVE position (the DRIVE position is with the manual lever
moved three detents forward of the full rearward
position), measure the resistance between the Transmission Range Sensor MUX and the
Transmission Range Sensor 5V Supply pins of the TRS. The resistance should be 59.9 ohms. If
the resistance is not correct, replace the TRS.
11. With the manual lever in the SECOND position (the SECOND position is with the manual lever
moved one detent rearward of the full forward
position), measure the resistance between the Transmission Range Sensor MUX and the Back-up
Lamp feed pins of the TRS. The resistance should be 31.9 ohms. If the resistance is not correct,
replace the TRS.
12. With the manual lever in the LOW position (the LOW position is with the manual lever moved to
the full forward position), measure the resistance
between the Transmission Range Sensor MUX and the Back-up Lamp feed pins of the TRS. The
resistance should be 13.7 ohms. If the resistance is not correct, replace the TRS.

Transmission Speed Sensor: Description and Operation 42RLE Automatic Transmission
Description
DESCRIPTION
The Input (1) and Output (2) Speed Sensors are two-wire magnetic pickup devices that generate
AC signals as rotation occurs. They are mounted in the left side of the transmission case and are
considered primary inputs to the Transmission Control Module (TCM).
Operation
OPERATION
The Input Speed Sensor provides information on how fast the input shaft is rotating. As the teeth of
the input clutch hub pass by the sensor coil, an AC voltage is generated and sent to the TCM. The
TCM interprets this information as input shaft rpm.
The Output Speed Sensor generates an AC signal in a similar fashion, though its coil is excited by
rotation of the rear planetary carrier lugs. The TCM interprets this information as output shaft rpm.
The TCM compares the input and output speed signals to determine the following:
- Transmission gear ratio
- Speed ratio error detection
- CVI calculation
The TCM also compares the input speed signal and the engine speed signal to determine the
following:
- Torque converter clutch slippage
- Torque converter element speed ratio

Transmission
Description
DESCRIPTION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) is part of the solenoid module, which is mounted to the top
of the valve body inside the transmission.
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) has five switch contact pins that:
- Determine shift lever position
- Supply ground to the Starter Relay in Park and Neutral only.
- Supply +12 V to the backup lamps in Reverse only.
The TRS also has an integrated temperature sensor (thermistor) that communicates transmission
temperature to the TCM and PCM.
Operation
OPERATION
The Transmission Range Sensor (TRS) communicates shift lever position to the TCM as a
combination of open and closed switches. Each shift lever position has an assigned combination of
switch states (open/closed) that the TCM receives from four sense circuits. The TCM interprets this
information and determines the appropriate transmission gear position and shift schedule.
There are many possible combinations of open and closed switches (codes). Seven of these
possible codes are related to gear position and five are recognized as "between gear" codes. This
results in many codes which should never occur. These are called "invalid" codes. An invalid code
will result in a DTC, and the TCM will then determine the shift lever position based on pressure
switch data. This allows reasonably normal transmission operation with a TRS failure.

Four Wheel Drive Selector Switch: Description and Operation NV243 Transfer Case
Description
DESCRIPTION
The selector switch assembly is mounted in the left side of the vehicle's Instrument Panel (IP) and
consists of a rotary knob connected to a resistive network for the mode and range shift selections.
Also located in this assembly is a recessed, normally open momentary switch for making shifts into
and out of transfer case NEUTRAL. A pen, or similar instrument, is used to make a NEUTRAL shift
selection, thus reducing the likelihood of an inadvertent shift request.
The selector switch also contains four light emitting diode's (LED's) to indicate the transfer case
position and whether a shift is in progress.
Operation
OPERATION
As the position of the selector switch varies, the resistance between the Mode Sensor supply
voltage pin and the Mode Sensor output will vary. Hardware, software, and calibrations within the
Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM) are provided that interpret the selector switch resistance as
given in the table below:
For resistances between the ranges B-E shown for each valid position (T-Case NEUTRAL, 4LO,
4HI, 2WD), the TCCM may interpret the resistance as:
- either of the neighboring valid positions.
- as an invalid fault position.
For resistances between the ranges E and F shown for 2WD and in-between positions, the TCCM
may interpret the resistance as:
- the 2WD position.
- an invalid fault position.
- a valid in-between position.
For resistances between the ranges F and G shown for in-between positions and fault condition
(open), the TCCM may interpret the resistance as:

- a valid in-between position.
- an invalid fault position.
For resistances between the ranges A and B shown for the fault condition (short) and T-Case
NEUTRAL, the TCCM may interpret the resistance as:
- the T-Case NEUTRAL position.
- an invalid fault position.
The LED's in the selector assembly are illuminated/flashed in the following manner to indicate a
particular condition or state.
- A solidly illuminated LED indicates a successfully completed shift and the current operating mode
of the transfer case. While a shift has been requested but not yet completed, the LED for the
desired transfer case position is flashed.
- A flashing operating mode LED for the desired gear indicates that a shift to that position has been
requested, but all of the driver controllable conditions have not been met. This is in an attempt to
notify the driver that the transmission needs to be put into NEUTRAL, the vehicle speed is too
great, or some other condition outlined (other than a diagnostic failure that would prevent this shift)
elsewhere See: Relays and Modules - Transmission and Drivetrain/Relays and Modules - Transfer
Case/Control Module/Description and Operation/Operation is not met. Note that this flashing will
continue indefinitely until the conditions are eventually met, or the selector switch position is
changed, or if diagnostic routines no longer allow the requested shift.
- If the driver attempts to make a shift into transfer case NEUTRAL, and any of the driver
controllable conditions are not met, the request will be ignored until all of the conditions are met or
until the NEUTRAL select button is released. Additionally the neutral lamp will flash, or begin to
flash while the button is depressed and operator controllable conditions are not being met. All of
the LED's except the Neutral will flash if any of the operator controllable conditions for shifting are
not met while the Neutral button is depressed. This "toggle" type of feature is necessary because
the TCCM would interpret another request immediately after the shift into transfer case NEUTRAL
has completed.
- No LED's illuminated indicate a fault in the transfer case control system.

and whether a shift is in progress.
Operation
OPERATION
As the position of the selector switch varies, the resistance between the Mode Sensor supply
voltage pin and the Mode Sensor output will vary. Hardware, software, and calibrations within the
Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM) are provided that interpret the selector switch resistance as
given in the table below:
For resistances between the ranges B-E shown for each valid position (T-Case NEUTRAL, 4LO,
4HI, AWD), the TCCM may interpret the resistance as:
- either of the neighboring valid positions.
- as an invalid fault position.
For resistances between the ranges E and F shown for AWD and in-between positions, the TCCM
may interpret the resistance as:
- the AWD position.
- an invalid fault position.
- a valid in-between position.
For resistances between the ranges F and G shown for in-between positions and fault condition
(open), the TCCM may interpret the resistance as:
- a valid in-between position.
- an invalid fault position.
For resistances between the ranges A and B shown for the fault condition (short) and , T-Case
NEUTRAL, the TCCM may interpret the resistance as:
- the T-Case NEUTRAL position.
- an invalid fault position.
The LED's in the selector assembly are illuminated/flashed in the following manner to indicate a
particular condition or state.
- A solidly illuminated LED indicates a successfully completed shift and the current operating mode
of the transfer case. While a shift has been requested but not yet completed, the LED for the
desired transfer case position is flashed.
- A flashing operating mode LED for the desired gear indicates that a shift to that position has been
requested, but all of the driver controllable conditions have not been met. This is in an attempt to
notify the driver that the transmission needs to be put into NEUTRAL, the vehicle speed is too
great, or some other condition outlined (other than a diagnostic failure that would prevent this shift)

the LED's except the Neutral will flash if any of the operator controllable conditions for shifting are
not met while the Neutral button is depressed. This "toggle" type of feature is necessary because
the TCCM would interpret another request immediately after the shift into transfer case NEUTRAL
has completed.
- No LED's illuminated indicate a fault in the transfer case control system.

Description
DESCRIPTION
The selector switch assembly is mounted in the left side of the vehicle's Instrument Panel (IP) and
consists of a rotary knob connected to a resistive network for the mode and range shift selections.
Also located in this assembly is a recessed, normally open momentary switch for making shifts into
and out of transfer case NEUTRAL. A pen, or similar instrument, is used to make a NEUTRAL shift
selection, thus reducing the likelihood of an inadvertent shift request.
The selector switch also contains four light emitting diode's (LED's) to indicate the transfer case
position and whether a shift is in progress.

For resistances between the ranges B-E shown for each valid position (T-Case NEUTRAL, 4LO,

- as an invalid fault position.
For resistances between the ranges E and F shown for 2WD and in-between positions, the TCCM
may interpret the resistance as:
- the 2WD position.
- an invalid fault position.
- a valid in-between position.
For resistances between the ranges F and G shown for in-between positions and fault condition
(open), the TCCM may interpret the resistance as:

Description
DESCRIPTION
The transfer case mode sensor is an electronic device whose output can be interpreted to indicate
the shift motor shaft's rotary position. The sensor consists of a magnetic ring and four Hall Effect
Transistors to create a 4 channel digital device (non-contacting) whose output converts the motor
shaft position into a coded signal. The TCCM must supply 5VDC (+/- 0.5v) to the sensor and
monitor the shift motor position. The four channels are denoted A, B, C, and D. The sensor is
mechanically linked to the shaft of the cam which causes the transfer case shifting. The mode
sensor draws less than 53 mA.
Operation
OPERATION
During normal vehicle operation, the Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM) monitors the mode
sensor outputs at least every 250 (+/-50) milliseconds when the shift motor is stationary and 400
microseconds when the shift motor is active. A mode sensor signal between 3.8 Volts and 0.8 Volts
is considered to be undefined.
Refer to SECTOR ANGLES vs.TRANSFER CASE POSITION for the relative angles of the transfer
case shift sector versus the interpreted transfer case gear operating mode. Refer to MODE
SENSOR CHANNEL STATES for the sensor codes returned to the TCCM for each transfer case
mode sensor position. The various between gears positions can also be referred as the transfer
case's coarse position. These coarse positions come into play during shift attempts.

Description
DESCRIPTION
The transfer case position sensor is an electronic device whose output can be interpreted to
indicate the transfer case's current operating mode. The sensor consists of a five position, resistive
multiplexed circuit which returns a specific resistance value to the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) for each transfer case operating mode. The sensor is located on the top of the transfer
case, just left of the transfer case centerline and rides against the sector plate roostercomb. The
PCM supplies 5VDC (+/- 0.5V) to the sensor and monitors the return voltage to determine the
sector plate, and therefore the transfer case, position.
Operation
OPERATION
Position Sensor Linear Movement
During normal vehicle operation, the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitors the transfer case
position sensor return voltage to determine the operating mode of the transfer case. Refer to the
Operating Mode Versus Resistance table for the correct resistance for each position.

ABS Light: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
An Antilock Brake System (ABS) indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters.
However, the instrument cluster can be programmed to disable this indicator on vehicles that are
not equipped with the ABS or Rear Wheel Anti-Lock (RWAL) brake systems, which are not
available in some markets. This indicator is located near the lower edge of the instrument cluster,
between the tachometer and the speedometer.
The ABS indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the International Control and Display Symbol
icon for Failure of Anti-lock Braking System in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster overlay.
The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not
illuminated. An amber Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the
overlay causes the indicator to appear in amber through the translucent outer layer of the overlay
when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the instrument cluster
electronic circuit board.
The ABS indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

ABS Light: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The ABS indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the ABS system, or a circuit or
component of the system is ineffective. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument
cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received by the
cluster from the Controller Antilock Brake (CAB) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The ABS indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument cluster
logic circuit, and that logic will only allow this indicator to operate when the instrument cluster
receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the
LED will always be OFF when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED
only illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The
instrument cluster will turn ON the ABS indicator for the following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position the ABS indicator is
illuminated for about four seconds as a bulb test. The entire bulb test is a function of the CAB.
- ABS Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic ABS indicator
lamp-ON message from the CAB, the ABS indicator will be illuminated. The indicator remains
illuminated until the cluster receives a lamp-OFF message from the CAB, or until the ignition switch
is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
Communication Error - If the cluster receives no lamp-ON or lamp-OFF messages from the CAB
for five consecutive message cycles, the ABS indicator is illuminated. The indicator remains
illuminated until the cluster receives a valid message from the CAB, or until the ignition switch is
turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Actuator Test - Each time the instrument cluster is put through the actuator test, the ABS indicator
will be turned ON, then OFF again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the
functionality of the LED and the cluster control circuitry.
- ABS Diagnostic Test - The ABS indicator is blinked ON and OFF by lamp-ON and lamp-OFF
messages from the CAB during the performance of the ABS diagnostic tests.
The CAB continually monitors the ABS circuits and sensors to decide whether the system is in
good operating condition. The CAB then sends the proper lamp-ON or lamp-OFF message to the
ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN). If
the CAB sends a lamp-ON message after the bulb test, it indicates that the CAB has detected a
system malfunction or that the ABS system has become ineffective. The CAB will store a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for any malfunction it detects. Each time the ABS indicator fails to
light due to an open or short in the cluster ABS indicator circuit, the cluster sends a message
notifying the CAB of the condition, then the instrument cluster and the CAB will each store a DTC.
For proper diagnosis of the antilock brake system, the CAB, the EMIC, the CAN data bus or the
electronic communication related to ABS indicator operation a diagnostic scan tool is required.

Proportioning
Description
DESCRIPTION - ELECTRONIC VARIABLE BRAKE PROPORTIONING
Vehicles equipped with ABS use electronic variable brake proportioning (EVBP) to balance
front-to-rear braking. The EVBP is used in place of a rear proportioning valve. The EVBP system
uses the ABS system to control the slip of the rear wheels in partial braking range. The braking
force of the rear wheels is controlled electronically by using the inlet and outlet valves located in the
integrated control unit (ICU).
Operation
OPERATION - ELECTRONIC VARIABLE BRAKE PROPORTIONING
EVBP is able to decrease, hold and increase rear brake pressure without activating full ABS
control. Upon entry into EVBP the inlet valve for the rear brake circuit is switched on so that the
fluid supply from the master cylinder is shut off. In order to decrease the rear brake pressure, the
outlet valve for the rear brake circuit is pulsed. This allows fluid to enter the low pressure
accumulator (LPA) in the hydraulic control unit (HCU) resulting in a drop in fluid pressure to the
rear brakes. In order to increase the rear brake pressure, the outlet valve is switched off and the
inlet valve is pulsed. This increases the pressure to the rear brakes.
The EVBP will remain functional during many ABS fault modes. If both the red BRAKE and amber
ABS warning indicators are illuminated, the EVBP may not be functioning.

Hydraulic Control Assembly - Antilock Brakes: Description and Operation Hydraulic Control Unit
(HCU)
Description
DESCRIPTION
The HCU (3) consists of a valve body, pump motor, low pressure accumulators, inlet valves, outlet
valves and noise attenuators.
Operation
OPERATION
Accumulators in the valve body store extra fluid released to the system for ABS mode operation.
The pump provides the fluid volume needed and is operated by a DC type motor. The motor is
controlled by the ABM.
The valves modulate brake pressure during antilock braking and are controlled by the ABM.
The HCU provides three channel pressure control to the front and rear brakes. One channel
controls the rear wheel brakes in tandem. The two remaining channels control the front wheel
brakes individually.
During antilock braking, the solenoid valves are opened and closed as needed.
During normal braking, the HCU solenoid valves and pump are not activated. The master cylinder
and power booster operate the same as a vehicle without an ABS brake system.
NOTE: The three modes mentioned below do occur but not necessarily in the order listed every
time.
During antilock braking, solenoid valve pressure modulation occurs in three stages, pressure
increase, pressure hold, and pressure decrease. The valves are all contained in the valve body
portion of the HCU.
PRESSURE DECREASE
The outlet valve is opened and the inlet valve is closed during the pressure decrease cycle.
A pressure decrease cycle is initiated when speed sensor signals indicate high wheel slip at one or
more wheels. At this point, the ABM closes the inlet then opens the outlet valve, which also opens
the return circuit to the accumulators. Fluid pressure is allowed to bleed off (decrease) as needed
to prevent wheel lock.
Once the period of high wheel slip has ended, the ABM closes the outlet valve and begins a
pressure increase or hold cycle as needed.
PRESSURE HOLD
Both solenoid valves are closed in the pressure hold cycle but only the inlet valve is energized.
Fluid apply pressure in the control channel is maintained at a constant rate. The ABM maintains the
hold cycle until sensor inputs indicate a pressure change is necessary.

PRESSURE INCREASE
The inlet valve is open and the outlet valve is closed during the pressure increase cycle. The
pressure increase cycle is used to reapply thew brakes. This cycle controls re-application of fluid
apply pressure.

Hydraulic Control Assembly - Antilock Brakes: Description and Operation RWAL Valve
Description
DESCRIPTION
Rear Wheel Antilock (RWAL) brake system is standard equipment on 1500 series vehicles. The
RWAL brake system is designed to prevent rear wheel lock-up on virtually all types of road
surfaces. RWAL braking is desirable because a vehicle which is stopped without locking the rear
wheels will retain directional stability. This allows the driver to retain greater control of the vehicle
during braking.
The valve is located on the drivers side inner fender under the hood. The valve modulates
hydraulic pressure to the rear brakes.
The RWAL components include:
- RWAL Valve(1)
- Controller Antilock brake (CAB)
- Rear Wheel Speed Sensor (WSS)
Operation
OPERATION
When the brakes are applied, hydraulic fluid is routed from the master cylinder's secondary circuit
to the RWAL valve. From there hydraulic fluid is routed to the rear brakes. The Controller Antilock
Brake (CAB) contains an Electronic Variable Brake Proportioning (EVBP) control algorithm, which
proportions the applied braking force to the rear wheels during braking. The EVBP function of the
RWAL system takes the place of a conventional hydraulic proportioning valve. The CAB monitors
the rear wheel speed through the rear wheel speed sensor and calculates an estimated vehicle
deceleration. When an established deceleration threshold is exceeded, an isolation valve is closed
to hold the applied brake pressure to the rear brakes constant. Upon further increases in the
estimated vehicle deceleration, the isolation valve is selectively opened to increase rear brake
pressure in proportion to the front brake pressure. If impending rear wheel lock-up is sensed, the
CAB signals the RWAL valve to modulate hydraulic brake pressure to the rear wheels to prevent
lock-up.
NORMAL BRAKING
Since the RWAL valve also performs the EVBP or proportioning function, vehicle deceleration
under normal braking may be sufficient to trigger the EVBP function of the RWAL system without
full RWAL activity as would normally occur during an impending rear wheel lock-up. As previously
mentioned, the isolation valve is selectively closed and opened to increase rear brake pressure in
proportion to the front brake pressure under EVBP control. Slight brake pedal pulsations may be
noticed as the isolation valve is opened.

Assist System Indicator
Description
DESCRIPTION
An Electronic Stability Program/Brake Assist System (ESP/BAS) indicator is only found in the
instrument clusters for vehicles equipped with a gasoline engine. However, on vehicles not
equipped with the optional ESP/BAS, this indicator is electronically disabled. This indicator is
located in the lower portion of the tachometer dial face in the instrument cluster overlay.
The ESP/BAS indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the text ESP BAS in the opaque layer of
the instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being
clearly visible when it is not illuminated. An amber Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in
the opaque layer of the overlay causes the indicator to appear in amber through the translucent
outer layer of the overlay when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the
instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
The ESP/BAS indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.
Operation
OPERATION
The ESP/BAS indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when a problem has been
detected in the Electronic Stability Program (ESP)/Brake Assist System (BAS). This indicator is
controlled by a transistor on the instrument cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming
and electronic messages received by the cluster from the Controller Antilock Brake (CAB) and the
Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The ESP/BAS indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument
cluster logic circuit, and that logic will only allow this indicator to operate when the instrument
cluster receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit.
Therefore, the LED will always be OFF when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or
START. The LED only illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster
transistor. The instrument cluster will turn ON the ESP/BAS indicator for the following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position the ESP/BAS indicator is
illuminated for about four seconds as a bulb test.
- ESP/BAS Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic ESP/BAS
indicator lamp-ON message from the CAB or the TIPM, the ESP/BAS indicator will be illuminated.
The indicator remains illuminated until the cluster receives a lamp-OFF message from the CAB or
TIPM, or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the ESP/BAS indicator will
be turned ON, then OFF again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality
of the LED and the cluster control circuitry.
The CAB and TIPM continually monitor the ESP/BAS system circuits and sensors to decide
whether the system is in good operating condition and the proper outputs to the components of the
system. The CAB or TIPM then sends the proper lamp-ON or lamp-OFF message to the
ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN).

required.

The traction control indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the Electronic
Stability Program (ESP)/Brake Assist System (BAS)/Traction Control System (TCS) has been
activated. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument cluster circuit board based
upon cluster programming and electronic messages received by the cluster from the Controller

DESCRIPTION
The ABS brake system uses 3 wheel speed sensors. A sensor is mounted to each front
hub/bearings. The third sensor is mounted on top of the rear axle differential housing.

Wheel Speed Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The Wheel Speed Sensor consists of a magnet (1) surrounded by windings from a single strand of
wire (5). The sensor sends a small AC signal to the ABM. This signal is generated by magnetic
induction. The magnetic induction is created when a toothed sensor ring (exciter ring or tone
wheel) (4) passes the stationary magnetic WSS.
When the ring gear is rotated, the exciter ring (4) passes the tip of the WSS. As the exciter ring
tooth approaches the tip of the WSS, the magnetic lines of force expand, causing the magnetic
field to cut across the sensor's windings (5). This, in turn causes current to flow through the WSS
circuit in one direction. When the exciter ring tooth moves away from the sensor tip, the magnetic
lines of force collapse cutting the winding in the opposite direction. This causes the current to flow
in the opposite direction. Every time a tooth of the exciter ring passes the tip of the WSS, an AC
signal is generated current. Each AC signal (positive to negative signal or squarewave) is
interpreted by the ABM. It then compares the frequency of the sinewave to a time value to calculate
vehicle speed. The ABM continues to monitor the frequency to determine a deceleration rate that
would indicate a possible wheel-locking tendency.
The signal strength of any magnetic induction sensor is directly affected by:
- Magnetic field strength; the stronger the magnetic field, the stronger the signal
- Number of windings in the sensor; more windings provide a stronger signal
- Exciter ring speed; the faster the exciter ring/tone wheel rotates, the stronger the signal will be
- Distance (3) "air gap" between the exciter ring teeth and WSS; the closer the WSS is to the
exciter ring/tone wheel, the stronger the signal will be.
The WSS is not adjustable. A clearance specification has been established for manufacturing
tolerances. If the clearance is not within these specifications, then either the WSS or other
components may be damaged. The clearance between the WSS and the exciter ring is 0.005 0.050 in.
The assembly plant performs a "Rolls Test" on every vehicle that leaves the assembly plant. One
of the test performed is a test of the WSS. To properly test the sensor, the assembly plant connects

Wheel Speed Sensor: Testing and Inspection
REAR WHEEL ANTILOCK
Diagnosis of base brake conditions which are mechanical in nature should be performed first. This
includes brake noise, lack of power assist, parking brake, or vehicle vibration during normal
braking.
The RWAL brake system performs several self-tests every time the ignition switch is turned on and
the vehicle is driven. The CAB monitors the system inputs and outputs circuits to verify the system
is operating properly. If the CAB senses a malfunction in the system it will set a DTC into memory
and trigger the warning lamp.
NOTE: A scan tool is used to diagnose the RWAL system. For test procedures refer to the ABS
Electrical Diagnostic Section.

Brake Pedal Assy: Description and Operation Adjustable Pedals
DESCRIPTION
The Adjustable Pedals System (APS) is designed to enable the fore and aft repositioning of the
brake and accelerator pedals. This results in improved ergonomics in relation to the steering wheel
for taller and shorter drivers. Being able to adjust the pedal positions also allows the driver to set
steering wheel tilt and seat position to the most comfortable position. The position of the brake and
accelerator pedals can be adjusted without compromising safety or comfort in actuating the pedals.
Change of pedal position is accomplished by means of a motor driven screw. Operating the
adjustable pedal switch activates the pedal drive motor (1). The pedal drive motor turns a screw
that changes the position of the brake and accelerator pedals. The pedal can be moved rearward
(closer to the driver) or forward (away from driver). The brake pedal is moved on its drive screw to
a position where the driver feels most comfortable.
The accelerator pedal is moved at the same time and the same distance as the brake pedal.
Neither the pedal drive motor (1) nor drive mechanism are subject to the mechanical stress of
brake or accelerator application.
- SYSTEM FEATURES:
- Range of Adjustment: The pedals may be adjusted up to 3 in. (75 mm)
- Pedal Adjustment Speed: 0.5 in./sec (12.5 mm/sec)
- Pedal Adjustment Inhibitors: Pedal adjustment is inhibited when the vehicle is in reverse or when
cruise control is activated.

Brake Warning Indicator: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
A brake indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. This indicator is located near the
lower edge of the instrument cluster, between the tachometer and the speedometer.
The brake indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the word BRAKE and the International
Control and Display Symbol icon for Brake Failure in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster
overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it
is not illuminated. A red Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the
overlay causes the indicator to appear in red through the translucent outer layer of the overlay
when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the instrument cluster
electronic circuit board.
The brake indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Brake Warning Indicator: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The brake indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the parking brake is applied,
when there are certain brake hydraulic system malfunctions as indicated by a low brake hydraulic
fluid level condition, or when the brake fluid level switch is disconnected. The brake indicator can
also give an indication when certain faults are detected in the Antilock Brake System (ABS). This
indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument cluster circuit board based upon cluster
programming, electronic messages received by the cluster from the Controller Antilock Brake
(CAB) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus, and a hard wired input from the park
brake switch.
The brake indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument cluster
logic circuit, and that logic will only allow this indicator to operate when the instrument cluster
receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the
LED will always be OFF when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED
only illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The
instrument cluster will turn ON the brake indicator for the following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position the brake indicator is
illuminated for about four seconds as a bulb test. The entire bulb test is a function of the CAB.
- Brake Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic brake indicator
lamp-ON message from the CAB, the brake indicator will be illuminated. The CAB may also send
lamp-ON messages as feedback during ABS diagnostic procedures. The indicator remains
illuminated until the cluster receives a lamp-OFF message from the CAB, or until the ignition switch
is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Park Brake Switch Input - Each time the cluster detects ground on the park brake switch sense
circuit (park brake switch closed = park brake applied or not fully released) while the ignition switch
is in the ON position, the brake indicator flashes ON and OFF. The indicator continues to flash until
the park brake switch sense input to the cluster is an open circuit (park brake switch open = park
brake fully released), or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs
first.
- Actuator Test - Each time the instrument cluster is put through the actuator test, the brake
indicator will be turned ON, then OFF again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the
functionality of the LED and the cluster control circuitry.
The park brake switch on the park brake pedal mechanism provides a hard wired ground input to
the instrument cluster circuitry through the park brake switch sense circuit whenever the park brake
is applied or not fully released. The CAB continually monitors the ABS system circuits and sensors,
including the brake fluid level switch on the brake master cylinder reservoir, to decide whether the
system is in good operating condition. The CAB then sends the proper lamp-ON or lamp-OFF
message to the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab
Compartment Node/CCN). If the CAB sends a lamp-ON message after the bulb test, it indicates
that the CAB has detected a brake hydraulic system malfunction or that the ABS system has
become ineffective. The CAB will store a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for any malfunction it
detects.

BRAKE INDICATOR
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before attempting any steering wheel, steering column,
airbag, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service.
Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system
capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to
disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag
deployment.
The hard wired park brake switch input to the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also
known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN) may be diagnosed using conventional diagnostic
tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wiring information includes
wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector repair procedures, details of wire harness routing and
retention, connector pin-out information and location views for the various wire harness connectors,
splices and grounds.
However, conventional diagnostic methods may not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the EMIC,
the Controller Antilock Brake (CAB), the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus, or the electronic
message inputs also used by the EMIC to provide brake indicator operation. The most reliable,
efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the EMIC, the CAB, the CAN data bus or the electronic
communication related to brake indicator operation requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool.

Brake Caliper: Description and Operation Operation
DISC BRAKE CALIPER
When the brakes are applied fluid pressure is exerted against the caliper piston (2). The fluid
pressure is exerted equally and in all directions. This means pressure exerted against the caliper
piston and within the caliper bore will be equal.
Fluid pressure applied to the piston is transmitted directly to the inboard brake pad (5). This forces
the pad lining against the inner surface of the disc brake rotor. At the same time, fluid pressure
within the piston bore forces the caliper to slide inward on the mounting bolts. This action brings the
outboard brake pad lining (6) into contact with the outer surface of the disc brake rotor.
In summary, fluid pressure acting simultaneously on both piston and caliper, produces a strong
clamping action. When sufficient force is applied, friction will attempt to stop the rotors from turning
and bring the vehicle to a stop.
Application and release of the brake pedal generates only a very slight movement of the caliper
and piston. Upon release of the pedal, the caliper and piston return to a rest position. The brake
pads do not retract an appreciable distance from the rotor. In fact, clearance is usually at, or close
to zero. The reasons for this are to keep road debris from getting between the rotor and lining and
in wiping the rotor surface clear each revolution.
The caliper piston seal (4) controls the amount of piston (2) extension needed to compensate for
normal lining wear.
During brake application, the seal is deflected outward by fluid pressure and piston movement (6).
When the brakes (and fluid pressure) are released, the seal relaxes and retracts the piston (3).
The amount of piston retraction is determined by the amount of seal deflection. Generally the
amount is just enough to maintain contact between the piston and inboard brake pad.

The piston is made from a phenolic resin (plastic material) and should be smooth and clean.
The piston must be replaced if cracked or scored. Do not attempt to restore a scored piston surface
by sanding or polishing.
CAUTION: If the caliper piston is replaced, install the same type of piston in the caliper. Never
interchange phenolic resin and steel caliper pistons. The pistons, seals, seal grooves, caliper bore
and piston tolerances are different.
The bore can be lightly polished with a brake hone (3) to remove very minor surface imperfections.
The caliper should be replaced if the bore is severely corroded, rusted, scored, or if polishing would
increase bore diameter more than 0.025 mm (0.001 inch).

4. To remove the caliper piston direct short bursts of low pressure air with a blow gun through the
caliper brake hose port. Use only enough air
pressure to ease the piston out.
CAUTION: Do not blow the piston out of the bore with sustained air pressure. This could result in a
cracked piston.
WARNING: Never attempt to catch the piston as it leaves the bore. This could result in personal
injury.
5. Remove the C-clamp and block of wood from the caliper and clamp it over the dust boot of the

Brake Rotor/Disc: Testing and Inspection
DISC BRAKE ROTOR
The rotor braking surfaces should not be refinished unless necessary.
Light surface rust and scale can be removed with a lathe equipped with dual sanding discs. The
rotor surfaces can be restored by machining with a disc brake lathe if surface scoring and wear are
light.
Replace the rotor for the following conditions:
- Severely Scored
- Tapered
- Hard Spots
- Cracked
- Below Minimum Thickness
ROTOR MINIMUM THICKNESS
Measure rotor thickness at the center of the brake shoe contact surface. Replace the rotor if below
minimum thickness, or if machining would reduce thickness below the allowable minimum.
Rotor minimum thickness is usually specified on the rotor hub. The specification is either stamped
or cast into the hub surface.
ROTOR RUNOUT
Check rotor lateral runout with dial indicator C-3339 (1). Excessive lateral runout will cause brake
pedal pulsation and rapid, uneven wear of the brake shoes. Position the dial indicator plunger
approximately 25.4 mm (1 in.) inward from the rotor edge.
NOTE: Be sure wheel bearing has zero end play before checking rotor runout.
Maximum allowable rotor runout is 0.131 mm (0.005 in.) HD.
Maximum allowable rotor runout is 0.050 mm (0.002 in.) LD.
ROTOR THICKNESS VARIATION
Dodge Ram 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (Truck V8-4.7L (2008))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Disc Brake System > Brake Rotor/Disc > Component
Information > Specifications > Page 9733
Variations in rotor thickness will cause pedal pulsation, noise and shudder.
Measure rotor thickness at 6 to 12 points around the rotor face.
Position the micrometer (1) approximately 25.4 mm (1 in.) from the rotor (2) outer circumference for
each measurement.
Thickness should not vary by more than 0.015 mm (0.0059 in.) from point-to-point on the rotor.
Machine or replace the rotor if necessary.

Brake Rotor/Disc: Procedures
STANDARD PROCEDURE
NOTE: A hub mounted on-vehicle lathe is highly recommended. This type of lathe trues the rotor to
the vehicles hub/bearing.
The disc brake rotor can be machined if scored or worn. The on-vehicle lathe must machine both
sides of the rotor simultaneously with dual cutter heads. The rotor mounting surface must be clean
before placing on the on-vehicle lathe. Equipment capable of machining only one side at a time
may produce a tapered rotor This type of rotor machining is not recommended.
NOTE: Proper wheel torque is also critical to help prevent any warping of the disc brake rotor.
CAUTION: Brake rotors that do not meet minimum thickness specifications before or after
machining must be replaced.

INSPECTION - REAR DRUM IN HAT BRAKE
As a general rule, riveted brake shoes (2) should be replaced when worn to within 0.78 mm (1/32
in.) of the rivet heads. Bonded lining should be replaced when worn to a thickness of 1.6 mm (1/16
in.).
Examine the lining contact pattern to determine if the shoes are bent or the drum is tapered. The
lining should exhibit contact across its entire width. Shoes (2) exhibiting contact only on one side
should be replaced and the drum checked for runout or taper.
Inspect the adjuster screw assembly (5). Replace the assembly if the star wheel or threads are
damaged, or the components are severely rusted or corroded.
Discard the brake springs (3) and retainer components (4) if worn, distorted or collapsed. Also
replace the springs if a brake drag condition had occurred. Overheating will distort and weaken the
springs.
Inspect the brake shoe contact pads on the support plate (1), replace the support plate if any of the
pads are worn or rusted through. Also replace the plate (1) if it is bent or distorted.

Brake Caliper: Description and Operation Operation
DISC BRAKE CALIPER
When the brakes are applied fluid pressure is exerted against the caliper piston (2). The fluid
pressure is exerted equally and in all directions. This means pressure exerted against the caliper
piston and within the caliper bore will be equal.
Fluid pressure applied to the piston is transmitted directly to the inboard brake pad (5). This forces
the pad lining against the inner surface of the disc brake rotor. At the same time, fluid pressure
within the piston bore forces the caliper to slide inward on the mounting bolts. This action brings the
outboard brake pad lining (6) into contact with the outer surface of the disc brake rotor.
In summary, fluid pressure acting simultaneously on both piston and caliper, produces a strong
clamping action. When sufficient force is applied, friction will attempt to stop the rotors from turning
and bring the vehicle to a stop.
Application and release of the brake pedal generates only a very slight movement of the caliper
and piston. Upon release of the pedal, the caliper and piston return to a rest position. The brake
pads do not retract an appreciable distance from the rotor. In fact, clearance is usually at, or close
to zero. The reasons for this are to keep road debris from getting between the rotor and lining and
in wiping the rotor surface clear each revolution.
The caliper piston seal (4) controls the amount of piston (2) extension needed to compensate for
normal lining wear.
During brake application, the seal is deflected outward by fluid pressure and piston movement (6).
When the brakes (and fluid pressure) are released, the seal relaxes and retracts the piston (3).
The amount of piston retraction is determined by the amount of seal deflection. Generally the
amount is just enough to maintain contact between the piston and inboard brake pad.

INSPECTION - HEAVY DUTY (HD)
The piston is made from a phenolic resin (plastic material) and should be smooth and clean.
The piston must be replaced if cracked or scored. Do not attempt to restore a scored piston surface
by sanding or polishing.
CAUTION: If the caliper piston is replaced, install the same type of piston in the caliper. Never
interchange phenolic resin and steel caliper pistons. The pistons, seals, seal grooves, caliper bore
and piston tolerances are different.
The bore can be lightly polished with a brake hone (3) to remove very minor surface imperfections.
The caliper should be replaced if the bore is severely corroded, rusted, scored, or if polishing would
increase bore diameter more than 0.025 mm (0.001 inch).

DISCUSSION:
Chrysler Group vehicle fluid systems do NOT require regular flushing. These systems include:
engine oil, transmission oil, axle lube, brake fluid, power steering fluid, and refrigerant. The only
exception to this requirement are published in the vehicle maintenance schedules, e.g. engine
coolant.
Exceptions to this recommendation include only those instances where a failure has occurred
and/or the system has become compromised, contaminated or overheated beyond the normal
operating range.
Chrysler Group does NOT recommend aftermarket chemicals to flush the engine, transmission,
brake or steering systems. Chemicals contained in these products can damage the system
elastomeric components, and contaminate the component fluid, leading to loss of
system/component durability and service life. When necessary, only the original approved system
fluid should be used to flush these components using teamPSE(R) approved equipment.
If the engine coolant contains a considerable amount of sediment, clean and flush with Mopar
Cooling System Flush, p/n 04856977, or equivalent. Follow with a thorough rinsing to remove all
deposits and chemicals. Refill with a minimum of a 50% mixture of the specified coolant and
distilled water.

Brake Fluid: Description and Operation Fluid
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 a container which has been left open. An
open container of brake fluid 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.

Brake Fluid: Testing and Inspection
BRAKE FLUID CONTAMINATION
Indications of fluid contamination are swollen or deteriorated rubber parts.
Swollen rubber parts indicate the presence of petroleum in the brake fluid.
To test for contamination, put a small amount of drained brake fluid in clear glass jar. If fluid
separates into layers, there is mineral oil or other fluid contamination of the brake fluid.
If brake fluid is contaminated, drain and thoroughly flush system. Replace master cylinder,
proportioning valve, caliper seals, wheel cylinder seals, Antilock Brakes hydraulic unit and all
hydraulic fluid hoses.

BRAKE FLUID LEVEL
Always clean the master cylinder reservoir (1) and cap (2) before checking fluid level. If not
cleaned, dirt could enter the fluid.
The fluid fill level is indicated on the side of the master cylinder reservoir (1).
The correct fluid level is to the MAX indicator on the side of the reservoir. If necessary, add fluid to
the proper level.

Hydraulic Control Assembly - Antilock Brakes: Description and Operation Electronic Variable Brake
Proportioning
Description
DESCRIPTION - ELECTRONIC VARIABLE BRAKE PROPORTIONING
Vehicles equipped with ABS use electronic variable brake proportioning (EVBP) to balance
front-to-rear braking. The EVBP is used in place of a rear proportioning valve. The EVBP system
uses the ABS system to control the slip of the rear wheels in partial braking range. The braking
force of the rear wheels is controlled electronically by using the inlet and outlet valves located in the
integrated control unit (ICU).
Operation
OPERATION - ELECTRONIC VARIABLE BRAKE PROPORTIONING
EVBP is able to decrease, hold and increase rear brake pressure without activating full ABS
control. Upon entry into EVBP the inlet valve for the rear brake circuit is switched on so that the
fluid supply from the master cylinder is shut off. In order to decrease the rear brake pressure, the
outlet valve for the rear brake circuit is pulsed. This allows fluid to enter the low pressure
accumulator (LPA) in the hydraulic control unit (HCU) resulting in a drop in fluid pressure to the
rear brakes. In order to increase the rear brake pressure, the outlet valve is switched off and the
inlet valve is pulsed. This increases the pressure to the rear brakes.
The EVBP will remain functional during many ABS fault modes. If both the red BRAKE and amber
ABS warning indicators are illuminated, the EVBP may not be functioning.

Hydraulic Control Assembly - Antilock Brakes: Description and Operation Hydraulic Control Unit
(HCU)
Description
DESCRIPTION
The HCU (3) consists of a valve body, pump motor, low pressure accumulators, inlet valves, outlet
valves and noise attenuators.
Operation
OPERATION
Accumulators in the valve body store extra fluid released to the system for ABS mode operation.
The pump provides the fluid volume needed and is operated by a DC type motor. The motor is
controlled by the ABM.
The valves modulate brake pressure during antilock braking and are controlled by the ABM.
The HCU provides three channel pressure control to the front and rear brakes. One channel
controls the rear wheel brakes in tandem. The two remaining channels control the front wheel
brakes individually.
During antilock braking, the solenoid valves are opened and closed as needed.
During normal braking, the HCU solenoid valves and pump are not activated. The master cylinder
and power booster operate the same as a vehicle without an ABS brake system.
NOTE: The three modes mentioned below do occur but not necessarily in the order listed every
time.
During antilock braking, solenoid valve pressure modulation occurs in three stages, pressure
increase, pressure hold, and pressure decrease. The valves are all contained in the valve body
portion of the HCU.
PRESSURE DECREASE
The outlet valve is opened and the inlet valve is closed during the pressure decrease cycle.
A pressure decrease cycle is initiated when speed sensor signals indicate high wheel slip at one or
more wheels. At this point, the ABM closes the inlet then opens the outlet valve, which also opens
the return circuit to the accumulators. Fluid pressure is allowed to bleed off (decrease) as needed
to prevent wheel lock.
Once the period of high wheel slip has ended, the ABM closes the outlet valve and begins a
pressure increase or hold cycle as needed.
PRESSURE HOLD
Both solenoid valves are closed in the pressure hold cycle but only the inlet valve is energized.
Fluid apply pressure in the control channel is maintained at a constant rate. The ABM maintains the
hold cycle until sensor inputs indicate a pressure change is necessary.

PRESSURE INCREASE
The inlet valve is open and the outlet valve is closed during the pressure increase cycle. The
pressure increase cycle is used to reapply thew brakes. This cycle controls re-application of fluid
apply pressure.

Hydraulic Control Assembly - Antilock Brakes: Description and Operation RWAL Valve
Description
DESCRIPTION
Rear Wheel Antilock (RWAL) brake system is standard equipment on 1500 series vehicles. The
RWAL brake system is designed to prevent rear wheel lock-up on virtually all types of road
surfaces. RWAL braking is desirable because a vehicle which is stopped without locking the rear
wheels will retain directional stability. This allows the driver to retain greater control of the vehicle
during braking.
The valve is located on the drivers side inner fender under the hood. The valve modulates
hydraulic pressure to the rear brakes.
The RWAL components include:
- RWAL Valve(1)
- Controller Antilock brake (CAB)
- Rear Wheel Speed Sensor (WSS)
Operation
OPERATION
When the brakes are applied, hydraulic fluid is routed from the master cylinder's secondary circuit
to the RWAL valve. From there hydraulic fluid is routed to the rear brakes. The Controller Antilock
Brake (CAB) contains an Electronic Variable Brake Proportioning (EVBP) control algorithm, which
proportions the applied braking force to the rear wheels during braking. The EVBP function of the
RWAL system takes the place of a conventional hydraulic proportioning valve. The CAB monitors
the rear wheel speed through the rear wheel speed sensor and calculates an estimated vehicle
deceleration. When an established deceleration threshold is exceeded, an isolation valve is closed
to hold the applied brake pressure to the rear brakes constant. Upon further increases in the
estimated vehicle deceleration, the isolation valve is selectively opened to increase rear brake
pressure in proportion to the front brake pressure. If impending rear wheel lock-up is sensed, the
CAB signals the RWAL valve to modulate hydraulic brake pressure to the rear wheels to prevent
lock-up.
NORMAL BRAKING
Since the RWAL valve also performs the EVBP or proportioning function, vehicle deceleration
under normal braking may be sufficient to trigger the EVBP function of the RWAL system without
full RWAL activity as would normally occur during an impending rear wheel lock-up. As previously
mentioned, the isolation valve is selectively closed and opened to increase rear brake pressure in
proportion to the front brake pressure under EVBP control. Slight brake pedal pulsations may be
noticed as the isolation valve is opened.

Brake Master Cylinder: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
A two-piece master cylinder is used on all models. The cylinder body containing the primary and
secondary pistons is made of aluminum. The removable fluid reservoir is made of nylon reinforced
with glass fiber. The reservoir stores reserve brake fluid for the hydraulic brake circuits and has a
switch for indicating low fluid levels. The reservoir is the only serviceable component.
The fluid compartments of the nylon reservoir are interconnected to permit fluid level equalization.
However, the equalization feature does not affect circuit separation in the event of a front or rear
brake malfunction. The reservoir compartments will retain enough fluid to operate the functioning
hydraulic circuit.
Care must be exercised when removing/installing the master cylinder connecting lines. The threads
in the cylinder fluid ports can be damaged if care is not exercised. Start all brake line fittings by
hand to avoid cross threading.
The cylinder reservoir can be replaced when necessary. However, the aluminum body section of
the master cylinder is not a repairable component.
NOTE: If diagnosis indicates that an internal malfunction has occurred, the aluminum body section
must be replaced as an assembly.

Parking Brake Warning Switch: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The park brake switch (1) is located on the park brake lever mechanism on the cowl side inner
panel below the instrument panel, to the left of the steering column. This switch includes a
spade-type output terminal (3) that connects the switch to the vehicle electrical system through a
dedicated take out and connector of the body wire harness. The output terminal is integral to the
stationary contact within a molded plastic insulator.
A locating tab on the insulator engages a slot in the park brake lever mechanism for positive switch
location. External to the insulator is a movable leaf contact with an integral grounding lug (4) on
one end and an integral actuating lever and follower (2) on the opposite end. The switch is secured
to and grounded by a single screw to the park brake lever mechanism.
The park brake switch cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, it must be
replaced.

Parking Brake Warning Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The park brake switch is a normally closed, mechanically actuated leaf contact switch that is
operated by the park brake lever mechanism. The switch is grounded through its mounting to the
park brake lever mechanism and provides a ground input to the ElectroMechanical Instrument
Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN) on a park brake switch sense
circuit whenever the park brake is applied, and opens this circuit whenever the park brake is
released. The park brake switch sense input to the EMIC is used for control of the brake indicator
and may also be used as a logic input for other electronic features in the vehicle.
The park brake switch as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the switch may be diagnosed
using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.

Hydraulic Brake Booster: Testing and Inspection
HYDRAULIC BOOSTER
The hydraulic booster uses hydraulic pressure from the power steering pump. Before diagnosing a
booster problem, first verify the power steering pump is operating properly. Perform the following
checks.
- Check the power steering fluid level.
- Check the brake fluid level.
- Check all power steering hoses and lines for leaks and restrictions.
- Check power steering pump pressure.
NOISES
The hydraulic booster unit will produce certain characteristic booster noises. The noises may occur
when the brake pedal is used in a manner not associated with normal braking or driving habits.
HISSING
A hissing noise may be noticed when above normal brake pedal pressure is applied, 40 lbs. or
above. The noise will be more noticeable if the vehicle is not moving. The noise will increase with
the brake pedal pressure and an increase of system operating temperature.
CLUNK-CHATTER-CLICKING
A clunk-chatter-clicking may be noticed when the brake pedal is released quickly, after above
normal brake pedal pressure is applied 50-100 lbs.
BOOSTER FUNCTION TEST
With the engine off depress the brake pedal several times to discharge the accumulator. Then
depress the brake pedal using 40 lbs. of force and start the engine. The brake pedal should fall and
then push back against your foot. This indicates the booster is operating properly.
ACCUMULATOR LEAKDOWN
1. Start the engine, apply the brakes and turn the steering wheel from lock to lock. This will ensure
the accumulator is charged. Turn off the engine
and let the vehicle sit for one hour. After one hour there should be at least two power assisted
brake application with the engine off. If the system does not retain a charge the booster must be
replaced.
2. With the engine off depress the brake pedal several times to discharge the accumulator. Grasp
the accumulator and see if it wobbles or turns. If it
does the accumulator has lost a gas charge and the booster must be replaced.
SEAL LEAKAGE
If the booster leaks from any of the seals the booster assembly must be replaced.
- INPUT ROD SEAL (3): Fluid leakage from rear end of the booster.
- PISTON SEAL (6): Fluid leakage from vent at front of booster.
- HOUSING SEAL (4): Fluid leakage between housing and housing cover.
- SPOOL VALVE SEAL (7): Fluid leakage near spool plug.
- RETURN PORT FITTING SEAL (8): Fluid leakage from port fitting.

Parking Brake Warning Switch: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The park brake switch (1) is located on the park brake lever mechanism on the cowl side inner
panel below the instrument panel, to the left of the steering column. This switch includes a
spade-type output terminal (3) that connects the switch to the vehicle electrical system through a
dedicated take out and connector of the body wire harness. The output terminal is integral to the
stationary contact within a molded plastic insulator.
A locating tab on the insulator engages a slot in the park brake lever mechanism for positive switch
location. External to the insulator is a movable leaf contact with an integral grounding lug (4) on
one end and an integral actuating lever and follower (2) on the opposite end. The switch is secured
to and grounded by a single screw to the park brake lever mechanism.
The park brake switch cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, it must be
replaced.

Parking Brake Warning Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The park brake switch is a normally closed, mechanically actuated leaf contact switch that is
operated by the park brake lever mechanism. The switch is grounded through its mounting to the
park brake lever mechanism and provides a ground input to the ElectroMechanical Instrument
Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN) on a park brake switch sense
circuit whenever the park brake is applied, and opens this circuit whenever the park brake is
released. The park brake switch sense input to the EMIC is used for control of the brake indicator
and may also be used as a logic input for other electronic features in the vehicle.
The park brake switch as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the switch may be diagnosed
using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.

Parking Brake Warning Switch: Testing and Inspection
PARK BRAKE SWITCH
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before attempting any steering wheel, steering column,
airbag, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service.
Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system
capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to
disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag
deployment.
NOTE: If the brake indicator stays ON with the ignition switch in the ON position and the park brake
released, or comes ON while driving, the brake system must be diagnosed and repaired prior to
performing the following tests. Refer to appropriate testing. If no brake system problem is found,
the following procedures will help to locate a shorted or open park brake switch sense circuit, or an
ineffective park brake switch.
INDICATOR ILLUMINATES DURING BULB TEST, BUT DOES NOT WHEN PARK BRAKE
APPLIED
1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable. Disconnect the body wire harness connector
for the park brake switch from the switch terminal.
Apply the parking brake. Check for continuity between the park brake switch terminal and a good
ground. There should be continuity. If OK, go to STEP 2. If not OK, replace the ineffective park
brake switch.
2. Disconnect the instrument panel wire harness connector (Connector C1) for the instrument
cluster from the cluster connector receptacle. Check for
continuity between the park brake switch sense circuit cavities of the body wire harness connector
for the park brake switch and the instrument panel wire harness connector for the instrument
cluster. There should be continuity. If not OK, repair the open park brake switch sense circuit
between the park brake switch and the instrument cluster as required.
INDICATOR REMAINS ILLUMINATED - BRAKE SYSTEM CHECKS OKAY
3. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable. Disconnect the body wire harness connector
for the park brake switch from the switch terminal.
Check for continuity between the terminal of the park brake switch and a good ground. There
should be no continuity with the park brake released, and continuity with the park brake applied. If
OK, go to STEP 2. If not OK, replace the ineffective park brake switch.
4. Disconnect the instrument panel wire harness connector (Connector C1) for the instrument
cluster from the cluster connector receptacle. Check for
continuity between the park brake switch sense circuit cavity of the body wire harness connector
for the park brake switch and a good ground. There should be no continuity. If not OK, repair the
shorted park brake switch sense circuit between the park brake switch and the instrument cluster
as required.

Wheel Speed Sensor: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The ABS brake system uses 3 wheel speed sensors. A sensor is mounted to each front
hub/bearings. The third sensor is mounted on top of the rear axle differential housing.

Wheel Speed Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The Wheel Speed Sensor consists of a magnet (1) surrounded by windings from a single strand of
wire (5). The sensor sends a small AC signal to the ABM. This signal is generated by magnetic
induction. The magnetic induction is created when a toothed sensor ring (exciter ring or tone
wheel) (4) passes the stationary magnetic WSS.
When the ring gear is rotated, the exciter ring (4) passes the tip of the WSS. As the exciter ring
tooth approaches the tip of the WSS, the magnetic lines of force expand, causing the magnetic
field to cut across the sensor's windings (5). This, in turn causes current to flow through the WSS
circuit in one direction. When the exciter ring tooth moves away from the sensor tip, the magnetic
lines of force collapse cutting the winding in the opposite direction. This causes the current to flow
in the opposite direction. Every time a tooth of the exciter ring passes the tip of the WSS, an AC
signal is generated current. Each AC signal (positive to negative signal or squarewave) is
interpreted by the ABM. It then compares the frequency of the sinewave to a time value to calculate
vehicle speed. The ABM continues to monitor the frequency to determine a deceleration rate that
would indicate a possible wheel-locking tendency.
The signal strength of any magnetic induction sensor is directly affected by:
- Magnetic field strength; the stronger the magnetic field, the stronger the signal
- Number of windings in the sensor; more windings provide a stronger signal
- Exciter ring speed; the faster the exciter ring/tone wheel rotates, the stronger the signal will be
- Distance (3) "air gap" between the exciter ring teeth and WSS; the closer the WSS is to the
exciter ring/tone wheel, the stronger the signal will be.
The WSS is not adjustable. A clearance specification has been established for manufacturing
tolerances. If the clearance is not within these specifications, then either the WSS or other
components may be damaged. The clearance between the WSS and the exciter ring is 0.005 0.050 in.
The assembly plant performs a "Rolls Test" on every vehicle that leaves the assembly plant. One
of the test performed is a test of the WSS. To properly test the sensor, the assembly plant connects
test equipment to the Data Link Connector (DLC). This connector is located to the right of the
steering column and attached to the lower portion of the instrument panel. The rolls test terminal is
spliced to the WSS circuit. The vehicle is then driven on a set of rollers and the WSS output is
monitored for proper operation.

Wheel Speed Sensor: Testing and Inspection
REAR WHEEL ANTILOCK
Diagnosis of base brake conditions which are mechanical in nature should be performed first. This
includes brake noise, lack of power assist, parking brake, or vehicle vibration during normal
braking.
The RWAL brake system performs several self-tests every time the ignition switch is turned on and
the vehicle is driven. The CAB monitors the system inputs and outputs circuits to verify the system
is operating properly. If the CAB senses a malfunction in the system it will set a DTC into memory
and trigger the warning lamp.
NOTE: A scan tool is used to diagnose the RWAL system. For test procedures refer to the ABS
Electrical Diagnostic Section.

The Battery Temperature Sensor (BTS) is used only on the diesel engine. It is attached to the
battery tray located under the battery.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Sensors and Switches - Starting and Charging > Battery Temperature
Sensor > Component Information > Description and Operation > Battery Temperature Sensor - Description > Page 10008
Battery Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation Battery Temperature Sensor - Operation
OPERATION
The BTS is used to determine the battery temperature and control battery charging rate. This
temperature data, along with data from monitored line voltage, is used by the PCM (ECM Diesel) to
vary the battery charging rate. System voltage will be higher at colder temperatures and is
gradually reduced at warmer temperatures.
The PCM sends 5 volts to the sensor and is grounded through the sensor return line. As
temperature increases, resistance in the sensor decreases and the detection voltage at the PCM
increases.
The BTS is also used for OBD II diagnostics. Certain faults and OBD II monitors are either enabled
or disabled, depending upon BTS input (for example, disable purge and enable Leak Detection
Pump (LDP) and O2 sensor heater tests). Most OBD II monitors are disabled below 20°F.

Battery Cable: Description and Operation Battery Cables - Description
DESCRIPTION
The battery cables (1) and (3) are large gauge, stranded copper wires sheathed within a heavy
plastic or synthetic rubber insulating jacket. The wire used in the battery cables combines excellent
flexibility and reliability with high electrical current carrying capacity. The battery cables feature a
stamped brass clamping type female battery terminal crimped onto one end of the battery cable
wire and then solder-dipped. A square headed pinch-bolt and hex nut are installed at the open end
of the female battery terminal clamp. Large eyelet type terminals are crimped onto the opposite end
of the battery cable wire and then solder-dipped. The battery positive cable wires (1) have a red
insulating jacket to provide visual identification and feature a larger female battery terminal clamp
to allow connection to the larger battery positive terminal post. The battery negative cable wires (3)
have a black insulating jacket and a smaller female battery terminal clamp.
The battery cables cannot be repaired and, if damaged or inoperative they must be replaced. Both
the battery positive and negative cables are available for service replacement. Refer to the
appropriate wiring information for the location of the proper battery cable wire harness diagrams.
The wiring information also includes 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.

Battery Cable: Description and Operation Battery Cables - Operation
OPERATION
The battery cables connect the battery terminal posts to the vehicle electrical system. These cables
also provide a path back to the battery for electrical current generated by the charging system for
restoring the voltage potential of the battery. The female battery terminal clamps on the ends of the
battery cable wires provide a strong and reliable connection of the battery cable to the battery
terminal posts. The terminal pinch bolts allow the female terminal clamps to be tightened around
the male terminal posts on the top of the battery. The eyelet terminals secured to the opposite ends
of the battery cable wires provide secure and reliable connection of the battery cables to the
vehicle electrical system.

Battery Cable: Testing and Inspection
BATTERY CABLES
A voltage drop test will determine if there is excessive resistance in the battery cable terminal
connections or the battery cables. If excessive resistance is found in the battery cable connections,
the connection point should be disassembled, cleaned of all corrosion or foreign material, then
reassembled. Following reassembly, check the voltage drop for the battery cable connection and
the battery cable again to confirm repair.
When performing the voltage drop test, it is important to remember that the voltage drop is giving
an indication of the resistance between the two points at which the voltmeter probes are attached.
Example: When testing the resistance of the battery positive cable, touch the voltmeter leads to the
battery positive cable terminal clamp and to the
battery positive cable eyelet terminal at the starter solenoid B(+) terminal stud. If you probe the
battery positive terminal post and the battery positive cable eyelet terminal at the starter solenoid
B(+) terminal stud, you are reading the combined voltage drop in the battery positive cable terminal
clamp-to-terminal post connection and the battery positive cable.
VOLTAGE DROP TEST
WARNING: Models equipped with a diesel engine have an automatic shutdown (ASD) relay
located in the power distribution center (PDC). Removal of the ASD relay may not prevent the
diesel engine from starting. Be certain to disconnect the fuel shutdown solenoid wire harness
connector to prevent the engine from starting. Failure to do so may result in personal injury.
The following operation will require a voltmeter accurate to 1/10 (0.10) volt. Before performing this
test, be certain that the following procedures are accomplished:
- The battery is fully-charged and tested, See: Testing and Inspection/Micro 420 Battery Tester .
- Fully engage the parking brake.
- If the vehicle is equipped with an automatic transmission, place the gearshift selector lever in the
Park position. If the vehicle is equipped with a manual transmission, place the gearshift selector
lever in the Neutral position and block the clutch pedal in the fully depressed position.
- Verify that all lamps and accessories are turned off.
1. Connect the positive lead of the voltmeter (1) to the battery negative terminal post. Connect the
negative lead of the voltmeter to the battery
negative cable terminal clamp. Rotate and hold the ignition switch in the Start position. Observe the
voltmeter. If voltage is detected, correct the poor connection between the battery negative cable
terminal clamp and the battery negative terminal post.
NOTE: If the vehicle is equipped with two 12v batteries, step #1 must be performed twice, once for
each battery.
Dodge Ram 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (Truck V8-4.7L (2008))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Battery > Battery Cable > Component Information > Description and
Operation > Page 10054
2. Connect the positive lead of the voltmeter (1) to the battery positive terminal post. Connect the
negative lead of the voltmeter to the battery
positive cable terminal clamp. Rotate and hold the ignition switch in the Start position. Observe the
voltmeter. If voltage is detected, correct the poor connection between the battery positive cable
terminal clamp and the battery positive terminal post.
NOTE: If the vehicle is equipped with two 12v batteries, step #2 must be performed twice, once for
each battery.
3. Connect the voltmeter (2) to measure between the battery positive cable terminal clamp (1) and
the starter solenoid (3) B(+) terminal stud. Rotate
and hold the ignition switch in the Start position. Observe the voltmeter. If the reading is above 0.2
volt, clean and tighten the battery positive cable eyelet terminal connection at the starter solenoid
B(+) terminal stud. Repeat the test. If the reading is still above 0.2 volt, replace the faulty battery
positive cable.
NOTE: If the vehicle is equipped with two 12v batteries, step #3 must be performed twice, once for
each battery.
4. Connect the voltmeter (1) to measure between the battery (2) negative cable terminal clamp and
a good clean ground on the engine block (3).
Rotate and hold the ignition switch in the Start position. Observe the voltmeter. If the reading is
above 0.2 volt, clean and tighten the battery negative cable eyelet terminal connection to the
engine block. Repeat the test. If the reading is still above 0.2 volt, replace the faulty battery
negative cable.
NOTE: If the vehicle is equipped with two 12v batteries, step #4 must be performed twice, once for
each battery.

DESCRIPTION
The Battery Temperature Sensor (BTS) is used only on the diesel engine. It is attached to the
battery tray located under the battery.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Battery > Battery Temperature Sensor > Component Information >
Description and Operation > Battery Temperature Sensor - Description > Page 10073
Battery Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation Battery Temperature Sensor - Operation
OPERATION
The BTS is used to determine the battery temperature and control battery charging rate. This
temperature data, along with data from monitored line voltage, is used by the PCM (ECM Diesel) to
vary the battery charging rate. System voltage will be higher at colder temperatures and is
gradually reduced at warmer temperatures.
The PCM sends 5 volts to the sensor and is grounded through the sensor return line. As
temperature increases, resistance in the sensor decreases and the detection voltage at the PCM
increases.
The BTS is also used for OBD II diagnostics. Certain faults and OBD II monitors are either enabled
or disabled, depending upon BTS input (for example, disable purge and enable Leak Detection
Pump (LDP) and O2 sensor heater tests). Most OBD II monitors are disabled below 20°F.

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
All switches, components, and modules are shown in the at rest position with the doors closed and
the key removed from the ignition.
Components are shown two ways. A solid line around a component indicates that the component is
complete. A dashed line around the component indicates that the component is being shown is not
complete. Incomplete components have a reference number to indicate the page where the
component is shown complete.
It is important to realize that no attempt is made on the diagrams to represent components and
wiring as they appear on the vehicle. For example, a short piece of wire is treated the same as a
long one. In addition, switches and other components are shown as simply as possible, with regard
to function only.

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Sensitive Devices
STANDARD PROCEDURE - ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) SENSITIVE DEVICES
All ESD sensitive components are solid state and a symbol is used to indicate this. When handling
any component with this symbol, comply with the following procedures to reduce the possibility of
electrostatic charge build up on the body and inadvertent discharge into the component. If it is not
known whether the part is ESD sensitive, assume that it is.
1. Always touch a known good ground before handling the part. This should be repeated while
handling the part and more frequently after sliding
across a seat, sitting down from a standing position, or walking a distance.
2. Avoid touching electrical terminals of the part, unless instructed to do so by a written procedure.
3. When using a voltmeter, be sure to connect the ground lead first. 4. Do not remove the part from
it's protective packing until it is time to install the part. 5. Before removing the part from it's
package, ground the package to a known good ground on the vehicle.
Testing Of Voltage Potential
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TESTING OF VOLTAGE POTENTIAL
1. Connect the ground lead of a voltmeter to a known good ground. 2. Connect the other lead of
the voltmeter to the selected test point. The vehicle ignition may need to be turned ON to check
voltage. Refer to the
appropriate test procedure.

Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- Ohmmeter - Used to check the resistance between two points of a circuit. Low or no resistance in
a circuit means good continuity.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking resistance in these circuits use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
In addition, make sure the power is disconnected from the circuit. Circuits that are powered up by
the vehicle's electrical system can cause damage to the equipment and provide false readings.
Dodge Ram 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (Truck V8-4.7L (2008))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Charging System > Alternator > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 10127
- Probing Tools - These tools are used for probing terminals in connectors. Select the proper size
tool from Special Tool Package 6807, and insert the probing end (2) into the terminal being tested.
Use the other end of the tool (1) to insert the meter probe.
INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent electrical problems are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. It is also
possible for a sticking component or relay to cause a problem. Before condemning a component or
wiring assembly, check the following items.
- Connectors are fully seated
- Spread terminals, or terminal push out
- Terminals in the wiring assembly are fully seated into the connector/component and locked into
position
- Dirt or corrosion on the terminals. Any amount of corrosion or dirt could cause an intermittent
problem
- Damaged connector/component casing exposing the item to dirt or moisture
- Wire insulation that has rubbed through causing a short to ground
- Some or all of the wiring strands broken inside of the insulation
- Wiring broken inside of the insulation
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are six steps which can aid in the procedure. The
steps are listed and explained below. Always check for non-factory items added to the vehicle
before doing any diagnosis. If the vehicle is equipped with these items, disconnect them to verify
these add-on items are not the cause of the problem.
1. Verify the problem. 2. Verify any related symptoms. Do this by performing operational checks on
components that are in the same circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams. 3. Analyze the symptoms.
Use the wiring diagrams to determine what the circuit is doing, where the problem most likely is
occurring and where the
diagnosis will continue.
4. Isolate the problem area. 5. Repair the problem area. 6. Verify the proper operation. For this
step, check for proper operation of all items on the repaired circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams.

Alternator: Description and Operation Generator
Description
DESCRIPTION
The generator is belt-driven by the engine using a serpentine type drive belt. It is serviced only as a
complete assembly. If the generator fails for any reason, the entire assembly must be replaced.
Operation
OPERATION
As the energized rotor begins to rotate within the generator, the spinning magnetic field induces a
current into the windings of the stator coil. Once the generator begins producing sufficient current, it
also provides the current needed to energize the rotor.
The stator winding connections deliver the induced alternating current to 3 positive and 3 negative
diodes for rectification. From the diodes, rectified direct current is delivered to the vehicle electrical
system through the generator battery terminal.
Although the generators appear the same externally, different generators with different output
ratings are used on this vehicle. Be certain that the replacement generator has the same output
rating and part number as the original unit.
Noise emitting from the generator may be caused by: worn, loose or defective bearings; a loose or
defective drive pulley; incorrect, worn, damaged or misadjusted fan drive belt; loose mounting
bolts; a misaligned drive pulley or a defective stator or diode.

Alternator: Description and Operation Generator Decoupler Pulley
Description
DESCRIPTION
The generator decoupler is used only with certain engines. The decoupler is used in place of the
standard generator drive pulley.
Operation
OPERATION
The generator decoupler is used only with certain engines. The decoupler is a one-way clutch
designed to help reduce belt tension fluctuation, vibration, reduce fatigue loads, improve belt life,
reduce hub loads 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.

Alternator: Testing and Inspection Diagnosis and Testing - Charging System
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - CHARGING SYSTEM
The following procedures may be used to diagnose the charging system if:
- the check gauges lamp (if equipped) is illuminated with the engine running
- the voltmeter (if equipped) does not register properly
- an undercharged or overcharged battery condition occurs.
Remember that an undercharged battery is often caused by:
- accessories being left on with the engine not running
- a faulty or improperly adjusted switch that allows a lamp to stay on.
INSPECTION
The PCM (Powertrain Control Module), or ECM (Diesel) monitors critical input and output circuits of
the charging system, making sure they are operational. A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) is
assigned to each input and output circuit monitored by the On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) system.
Some charging system circuits are checked continuously, and some are checked only under
certain conditions.
Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Codes in; Powertrain Control Module; Electronic Control Modules for
more DTC information.
To perform a complete test of the charging system, use a diagnostic scan tool. Perform the
following inspections before attaching the scan tool.
1. Inspect the battery condition. 2. Inspect condition of battery cable terminals, battery posts,
connections at engine block, starter solenoid and relay. They should be clean and tight.
Repair as required.
3. Inspect all fuses in both the fuseblock and Power Distribution Center (PDC) for tightness in
receptacles. They should be properly installed and
tight. Repair or replace as required.
4. Inspect generator mounting bolts for tightness. Replace or tighten bolts if required. 5. Inspect
generator drive belt condition and tension. Tighten or replace belt as required. 6. Inspect automatic
belt tensioner (if equipped). 7. Inspect generator electrical connections at generator field, battery
output, and ground terminal (if equipped). Also check generator ground wire
connection at engine (if equipped). They should all be clean and tight. Repair as required.

Voltage Regulator: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The Electronic Voltage Regulator (EVR) is not a separate component. It is actually a voltage
regulating circuit located within the PCM (Powertrain Control Module) (within the ECM for diesel
engines). The EVR is not serviced separately. If replacement is necessary, the PCM must be
replaced.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Charging System > Voltage Regulator > Component Information >

Voltage Regulator: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The amount of direct current produced by the generator is controlled by EVR circuitry contained
within the PCM. This circuitry is connected in series with the generators second rotor field terminal
and its ground.
Voltage is regulated by cycling the ground path to control the strength of the rotor magnetic field.
The EVR circuitry monitors system line voltage (B+) and battery temperature (refer to Battery
Temperature Sensor for more information). It then determines a target charging voltage. If sensed
battery voltage is 0.5 volts or lower than the target voltage, the PCM grounds the field winding until
sensed battery voltage is 0.5 volts above target voltage. A circuit in the PCM cycles the ground
side of the generator field up to 100 times per second (100Hz), but has the capability to ground the
field control wire 100% of the time (full field) to achieve the target voltage. If the charging rate
cannot be monitored (limp-in), a duty cycle of 25% is used by the PCM in order to have some
generator output.

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
All switches, components, and modules are shown in the at rest position with the doors closed and
the key removed from the ignition.
Components are shown two ways. A solid line around a component indicates that the component is
complete. A dashed line around the component indicates that the component is being shown is not
complete. Incomplete components have a reference number to indicate the page where the
component is shown complete.
It is important to realize that no attempt is made on the diagrams to represent components and
wiring as they appear on the vehicle. For example, a short piece of wire is treated the same as a
long one. In addition, switches and other components are shown as simply as possible, with regard
to function only.

All ESD sensitive components are solid state and a symbol is used to indicate this. When handling
any component with this symbol, comply with the following procedures to reduce the possibility of
electrostatic charge build up on the body and inadvertent discharge into the component. If it is not
known whether the part is ESD sensitive, assume that it is.
1. Always touch a known good ground before handling the part. This should be repeated while
handling the part and more frequently after sliding
across a seat, sitting down from a standing position, or walking a distance.
2. Avoid touching electrical terminals of the part, unless instructed to do so by a written procedure.
3. When using a voltmeter, be sure to connect the ground lead first. 4. Do not remove the part from
it's protective packing until it is time to install the part. 5. Before removing the part from it's
package, ground the package to a known good ground on the vehicle.
Testing Of Voltage Potential
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TESTING OF VOLTAGE POTENTIAL

Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- Ohmmeter - Used to check the resistance between two points of a circuit. Low or no resistance in
a circuit means good continuity.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking resistance in these circuits use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
In addition, make sure the power is disconnected from the circuit. Circuits that are powered up by
the vehicle's electrical system can cause damage to the equipment and provide false readings.

- Probing Tools - These tools are used for probing terminals in connectors. Select the proper size
tool from Special Tool Package 6807, and insert the probing end (2) into the terminal being tested.
Use the other end of the tool (1) to insert the meter probe.
INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent electrical problems are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. It is also
possible for a sticking component or relay to cause a problem. Before condemning a component or
wiring assembly, check the following items.
- Connectors are fully seated
- Spread terminals, or terminal push out
- Terminals in the wiring assembly are fully seated into the connector/component and locked into
position
- Dirt or corrosion on the terminals. Any amount of corrosion or dirt could cause an intermittent
problem
- Damaged connector/component casing exposing the item to dirt or moisture
- Wire insulation that has rubbed through causing a short to ground
- Some or all of the wiring strands broken inside of the insulation
- Wiring broken inside of the insulation
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are six steps which can aid in the procedure. The
steps are listed and explained below. Always check for non-factory items added to the vehicle
before doing any diagnosis. If the vehicle is equipped with these items, disconnect them to verify
these add-on items are not the cause of the problem.
1. Verify the problem. 2. Verify any related symptoms. Do this by performing operational checks on
components that are in the same circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams. 3. Analyze the symptoms.
Use the wiring diagrams to determine what the circuit is doing, where the problem most likely is
occurring and where the
diagnosis will continue.
4. Isolate the problem area. 5. Repair the problem area. 6. Verify the proper operation. For this
step, check for proper operation of all items on the repaired circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams.

Auxiliary Power Outlet: Description and Operation Power Outlet-Instrument Panel
Description
DESCRIPTION
A cigar lighter outlet is installed to the left of the center stack area in the lower instrument panel.
The cigar lighter outlet is secured by a snap fit within the bezel.
The cigar lighter outlet, plastic cap and the knob and heating element unit are available for service
replacement. These components cannot be repaired and, if inoperative or damaged, they must be
replaced.
Operation
OPERATION
The cigar lighter consists of two major components: a knob and heating element unit, and the cigar
lighter base or outlet shell. The receptacle shell is connected to ground, and an insulated contact in
the bottom of the shell is connected to battery current. The cigar lighter receives battery voltage
from a fuse in the Integrated Power Module (IPM) when the ignition switch is in the Accessory or
Run positions.
The cigar lighter knob and heating element are encased within a spring-loaded housing, which also
features a sliding protective heat shield. When the knob and heating element are inserted in the
outlet shell, the heating element resistor coil is grounded through its housing to the outlet shell. If
the cigar lighter knob is pushed inward, the heat shield slides up toward the knob exposing the
heating element, and the heating element extends from the housing toward the insulated contact in
the bottom of the outlet shell.
Two small spring-clip retainers are located on either side of the insulated contact inside the bottom
of the outlet shell. These clips engage and hold the heating element against the insulated contact
long enough for the resistor coil to heat up. When the heating element is engaged with the contact,
battery current can flow through the resistor coil to ground, causing the resistor coil to heat.
When the resistor coil becomes sufficiently heated, excess heat radiates from the heating element
causing the spring-clips to expand. Once the spring-clips expand far enough to release the heating
element, the spring-loaded housing forces the knob and heating element to pop back outward to
their relaxed position. When the cigar lighter knob and element are pulled out of the outlet shell, the
protective heat shield slides downward on the housing so that the heating element is recessed and
shielded around its circumference for safety.

Description
DESCRIPTION
Two power outlets are utilized on this model. One in the instrument panel center lower bezel and
the other in the center console. The power outlet bases are secured by a snap fit within the
instrument panel or trim panel. A plastic protective cap snaps into the power outlet base when the
power outlet is not being used, and hangs from the power outlet base mount by an integral bail
strap while the power outlet is in use.
The power outlet receptacle unit and the accessory power outlet protective cap are available for
service. The power outlet receptacle cannot be repaired and, if faulty or damaged, it must be
replaced.
Operation
OPERATION
The power outlet base or receptacle shell is connected to ground, and an insulated contact in the
bottom of the shell is connected to battery current. The power outlet receives battery voltage from a
fuse in the integrated power module at all times.
While the power outlet is very similar to a cigar lighter base unit, it does not include the two small
spring-clip retainers inside the bottom of the receptacle shell that are used to secure the cigar
lighter heating element to the insulated contact.

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
All switches, components, and modules are shown in the at rest position with the doors closed and
the key removed from the ignition.
Components are shown two ways. A solid line around a component indicates that the component is
complete. A dashed line around the component indicates that the component is being shown is not
complete. Incomplete components have a reference number to indicate the page where the
component is shown complete.
It is important to realize that no attempt is made on the diagrams to represent components and
wiring as they appear on the vehicle. For example, a short piece of wire is treated the same as a
long one. In addition, switches and other components are shown as simply as possible, with regard
to function only.

Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- Ohmmeter - Used to check the resistance between two points of a circuit. Low or no resistance in
a circuit means good continuity.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking resistance in these circuits use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
In addition, make sure the power is disconnected from the circuit. Circuits that are powered up by
the vehicle's electrical system can cause damage to the equipment and provide false readings.

- Probing Tools - These tools are used for probing terminals in connectors. Select the proper size
tool from Special Tool Package 6807, and insert the probing end (2) into the terminal being tested.
Use the other end of the tool (1) to insert the meter probe.
INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent electrical problems are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. It is also
possible for a sticking component or relay to cause a problem. Before condemning a component or
wiring assembly, check the following items.
- Connectors are fully seated
- Spread terminals, or terminal push out
- Terminals in the wiring assembly are fully seated into the connector/component and locked into
position
- Dirt or corrosion on the terminals. Any amount of corrosion or dirt could cause an intermittent
problem
- Damaged connector/component casing exposing the item to dirt or moisture
- Wire insulation that has rubbed through causing a short to ground
- Some or all of the wiring strands broken inside of the insulation
- Wiring broken inside of the insulation
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are six steps which can aid in the procedure. The
steps are listed and explained below. Always check for non-factory items added to the vehicle
before doing any diagnosis. If the vehicle is equipped with these items, disconnect them to verify
these add-on items are not the cause of the problem.
1. Verify the problem. 2. Verify any related symptoms. Do this by performing operational checks on
components that are in the same circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams. 3. Analyze the symptoms.
Use the wiring diagrams to determine what the circuit is doing, where the problem most likely is
occurring and where the
diagnosis will continue.
4. Isolate the problem area. 5. Repair the problem area. 6. Verify the proper operation. For this
step, check for proper operation of all items on the repaired circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams.

Fuse: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
All vehicles are equipped with an Ignition-Off Draw (IOD) fuse that is disconnected within the
Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) when the vehicle is shipped from the factory. Dealer
personnel are to reconnect the IOD fuse in the TIPM as part of the new vehicle preparation
procedures and then disconnect it again until new vehicle delivery to the customer.
A laser printed fuse layout map is integral to the TIPM cover to ensure proper fuse identification.
The IOD fuse is a 20 ampere mini blade-type fuse. The fuse is secured within a black molded
plastic fuse holder and puller unit that serves both as a tool for disconnecting and reconnecting the
fuse in the TIPM cavity, and as a fuse holder that conveniently stores the fuse in the same cavity
after it has been disconnected.
CIRCUITS INCLUDED WITH IOD FUSE
- Cluster (CCN)
- Diagnostic Connector
- Map Lamps
- Glove Box Lamp
- Courtesy Lamps

Fuse: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The term Ignition-Off Draw (IOD) identifies a normal condition where power is being drained from
the battery with the ignition switch in the Off position. The IOD fuse feeds the memory and sleep
mode functions for some of the electronic modules in the vehicle as well as various other
accessories that require battery current when the ignition switch is in the Off position. The only
reason the IOD fuse is disconnected is to reduce the normal IOD of the vehicle electrical system
during new vehicle transportation and pre-delivery storage to reduce battery depletion, while still
allowing vehicle operation so that the vehicle can be loaded, unloaded and moved as needed by
both vehicle transportation company and dealer personnel.
The IOD fuse is disconnected from Integrated Power Module (IPM) fuse cavity # 51 when the
vehicle is shipped from the assembly plant. Dealer personnel must reconnect the IOD fuse when
the vehicle is being prepared for delivery in order to restore full electrical system operation. Once
the vehicle is prepared for delivery, the IOD function of this fuse becomes transparent and the fuse
that has been assigned the IOD designation becomes only another Fused B(+) circuit fuse.
The IOD fuse can be used by the vehicle owner as a convenient means of reducing battery
depletion when a vehicle is to be stored for periods not to exceed about thirty days. However, it
must be remembered that disconnecting the IOD fuse will not eliminate IOD, but only reduce this
normal condition. If a vehicle will be stored for more than about thirty days, the battery negative
cable should be disconnected to eliminate normal IOD; and, the battery should be tested and
recharged at regular intervals during the vehicle storage period to prevent the battery from
becoming discharged or damaged.

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
All switches, components, and modules are shown in the at rest position with the doors closed and
the key removed from the ignition.
Components are shown two ways. A solid line around a component indicates that the component is
complete. A dashed line around the component indicates that the component is being shown is not
complete. Incomplete components have a reference number to indicate the page where the
component is shown complete.
It is important to realize that no attempt is made on the diagrams to represent components and
wiring as they appear on the vehicle. For example, a short piece of wire is treated the same as a
long one. In addition, switches and other components are shown as simply as possible, with regard
to function only.

CAUTION:
- When installing the Integrated Power Module cover, it is important to ensure the cover is properly
positioned and fully latched. Failure to do so may allow water to get into the Integrated Power
Module, and possibly result in a electrical system failure.
- When replacing a blown fuse, it is important to use only a fuse having the correct amperage
rating. The use of a fuse with a rating other than indicated may result in a dangerous electrical
system overload. If a properly rated fuse continues to blow, it indicates a problem in the circuit that
must be corrected.

SUBJECT: No Engine Crank Or No Engine Start Due To Electronic Lockup Of The WCM /
SKREEM
OVERVIEW: This bulletin involves the replacement of the Wireless Control Module (WCM), and if
equipped, the replacement of the Electric Steering Column Lock (ELV). The WCM is also referred
to as the Sentry Key Remote Entry Module (SKREEM).
MODELS:
2007 - 2008 (DR/DH/D1/DC/DM) Ram Truck (1500/2500/3500/4500/5500)
2007 - 2008 (JK) Wrangler
2007 - 2008 (J1) Sebring (China)
2007 - 2008 (JS) Avenger/Sebring
2007 - 2008 (KA) Nitro
2008 (KK) Liberty/Cherokee
2007 - 2008 (MK) Compass/Patriot
2007 - 2008 (PM) Caliber
2006 - 2008 (PT) Chrysler PT Cruiser
NOTE:
This bulletin applies to vehicles built on or before May 05, 2008 (MDH 0505XX).
SYMPTOM/CONDITION: The customer will experience a no engine crank AND a no engine start
condition. Also, the remote keyless entry (RKE) system will not operate. This condition may be due
to an electrostatic discharge (ESD) from the ignition key into the Wireless Control Module (WCM),
causing the WCM to electronically lockup. This condition may occur more frequently in dry and/or
cold weather conditions where a sufficient electrostatic charge is more easily produced. This
condition is corrected by the replacement of the WCM.
DIAGNOSIS:
1. With the condition present (i.e. the vehicle in the no crank / no start condition), connect the
StarSCAN(R) scan tool to the vehicle.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON position, and power up the StarSCAN(R).
3. If the WCM is electronically locked up, the StarSCAN(R) will display the WCM as being "off bus".
4. If the no crank / no start condition is present, and the WCM is "off bus", then reset the WCM by
temporarily removing the IOD fuse (with the key out of the ignition switch), wait for 10 seconds and
then reinstall the IOD fuse.
5. With the IOD fuse reset having been performed, verify that the vehicle will now crank, start, and
run.
6. If the condition is temporarily corrected by performing the above steps, and if the part number of
the WCM is earlier than the part number of the WCM listed in the part reference table in the
Service Bulletin Parts Required Section below, then perform the Repair Procedure.

PARTS REQUIRED:
NOTE:
The part numbers listed in the following part reference table are to be used as A GUIDE to help
determine if the WCM, that is currently in the vehicle, may require replacement. If it is determined
that the WCM requires replacement, then ALWAYS REFER TO THE PARTS MANUAL to
determine the correct WCM for the specific vehicle in question. In some earlier model years, the
WCM may rule (supersede) to one of the part numbers listed in the table. ALWAYS REFER TO
THE PARTS MANUAL (not the part reference table) to determine the correct part number ruling
(supercedence / substitution). MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE CORRECT WCM IS ORDERED THE
FIRST TIME FOR THE SPECIFIC VEHICLE IN QUESTION.

REPAIR PROCEDURE:
NOTE:
If the vehicle (a JS model vehicle in certain International markets) is equipped with an Electric
Steering Column Lock (ELV), then the WCM and the ELV must be replaced. Replace the WCM
and then the ELV. Next program the WCM and at least one (1) ignition key BEFORE programming
the ELV. IMPORTANT: Not following this repair process correctly will cause the new ELV to fail.
NOTE:
Insert the ignition key into the ignition lock cylinder. This will move the shaft lock module locking
bolt to the unlocked position. LEAVE the key in the lock cylinder while the shaft lock module is
being removed.
1. If vehicle is equipped with a Steering Shaft Lock Module (JS - Avenger I Stratus - some
International Markets), then the Shaft Lock Module will require replacement. From the Service Info
tab select: 8 - Electrical > Vehicle Theft Security - Security Information > Module, Shaft Lock >
Removal and Installation.
NOTE:
The shaft lock module cannot be removed from the steering column while the locking bolt is in the
locked position without irreversibly damaging the column. Before attempting service, the ignition
key must have been inserted into the ignition lock cylinder. Then rotate the steering wheel from
side to side. If the steering wheel can be rotated, the locking bolt is in the unlocked position. Leave
the key in the ignition lock cylinder until shaft lock module removal has been completed. If the
steering wheel cannot be rotated, test and repair the wiring circuits between the module and the
ignition switch as required. If no problem is found in these circuits, the module has failed with the
locking bolt in the locked position and both the module and the steering column must be replaced
with new units.
2. Replace the WCM/SKREEM. Refer to TechCONNECT for detailed service information. From the
Service Info tab select: 8 - Electrical > Vehicle Theft Security - Service Information > Module,
Sentry Key Remote Entry > Removal and Installation.
NOTE:
Obtain the vehicle PIN number prior to programming WCM/SKREEM or ELV.
NOTE:
If during the following steps the PIN number is properly entered but is rejected, then reenter the
PIN number again until it is accepted.
3. After both the WCM/SKREEM and the ELV (if equipped) have been replaced, Program the
WCM/SKREEM as follows:
a. Turn the ignition key to the ON position, (Engine Off)
b. Connect the scan tool (StarSCAN(R)) to the data link connector and turn the ignition to the RUN
position, (engine off).
c. Select "ECU View."
d. Scroll down and select "WCM" in the list of modules.
e. Select "Misc. Functions."
f. Scroll to "WCM Replaced."

SUBJECT: No Engine Crank Or No Engine Start Due To Electronic Lockup Of The WCM /
SKREEM
OVERVIEW: This bulletin involves the replacement of the Wireless Control Module (WCM), and if
equipped, the replacement of the Electric Steering Column Lock (ELV). The WCM is also referred
to as the Sentry Key Remote Entry Module (SKREEM).
MODELS:
2007 - 2008 (DR/DH/D1/DC/DM) Ram Truck (1500/2500/3500/4500/5500)
2007 - 2008 (JK) Wrangler
2007 - 2008 (J1) Sebring (China)
2007 - 2008 (JS) Avenger/Sebring
2007 - 2008 (KA) Nitro
2008 (KK) Liberty/Cherokee
2007 - 2008 (MK) Compass/Patriot

2006 - 2008 (PT) Chrysler PT Cruiser
NOTE:
This bulletin applies to vehicles built on or before May 05, 2008 (MDH 0505XX).
SYMPTOM/CONDITION: The customer will experience a no engine crank AND a no engine start
condition. Also, the remote keyless entry (RKE) system will not operate. This condition may be due
to an electrostatic discharge (ESD) from the ignition key into the Wireless Control Module (WCM),
causing the WCM to electronically lockup. This condition may occur more frequently in dry and/or
cold weather conditions where a sufficient electrostatic charge is more easily produced. This
condition is corrected by the replacement of the WCM.
DIAGNOSIS:
1. With the condition present (i.e. the vehicle in the no crank / no start condition), connect the
StarSCAN(R) scan tool to the vehicle.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON position, and power up the StarSCAN(R).
3. If the WCM is electronically locked up, the StarSCAN(R) will display the WCM as being "off bus".
4. If the no crank / no start condition is present, and the WCM is "off bus", then reset the WCM by
temporarily removing the IOD fuse (with the key out of the ignition switch), wait for 10 seconds and
then reinstall the IOD fuse.
5. With the IOD fuse reset having been performed, verify that the vehicle will now crank, start, and
run.
6. If the condition is temporarily corrected by performing the above steps, and if the part number of
the WCM is earlier than the part number of the WCM listed in the part reference table in the
Service Bulletin Parts Required Section below, then perform the Repair Procedure.

PARTS REQUIRED:
NOTE:
The part numbers listed in the following part reference table are to be used as A GUIDE to help
determine if the WCM, that is currently in the vehicle, may require replacement. If it is determined
that the WCM requires replacement, then ALWAYS REFER TO THE PARTS MANUAL to
determine the correct WCM for the specific vehicle in question. In some earlier model years, the
WCM may rule (supersede) to one of the part numbers listed in the table. ALWAYS REFER TO
THE PARTS MANUAL (not the part reference table) to determine the correct part number ruling
(supercedence / substitution). MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE CORRECT WCM IS ORDERED THE
FIRST TIME FOR THE SPECIFIC VEHICLE IN QUESTION.

REPAIR PROCEDURE:
NOTE:
If the vehicle (a JS model vehicle in certain International markets) is equipped with an Electric
Steering Column Lock (ELV), then the WCM and the ELV must be replaced. Replace the WCM
and then the ELV. Next program the WCM and at least one (1) ignition key BEFORE programming
the ELV. IMPORTANT: Not following this repair process correctly will cause the new ELV to fail.
NOTE:
Insert the ignition key into the ignition lock cylinder. This will move the shaft lock module locking
bolt to the unlocked position. LEAVE the key in the lock cylinder while the shaft lock module is
being removed.
1. If vehicle is equipped with a Steering Shaft Lock Module (JS - Avenger I Stratus - some
International Markets), then the Shaft Lock Module will require replacement. From the Service Info
tab select: 8 - Electrical > Vehicle Theft Security - Security Information > Module, Shaft Lock >
Removal and Installation.
NOTE:
The shaft lock module cannot be removed from the steering column while the locking bolt is in the
locked position without irreversibly damaging the column. Before attempting service, the ignition
key must have been inserted into the ignition lock cylinder. Then rotate the steering wheel from
side to side. If the steering wheel can be rotated, the locking bolt is in the unlocked position. Leave
the key in the ignition lock cylinder until shaft lock module removal has been completed. If the
steering wheel cannot be rotated, test and repair the wiring circuits between the module and the
ignition switch as required. If no problem is found in these circuits, the module has failed with the
locking bolt in the locked position and both the module and the steering column must be replaced
with new units.
2. Replace the WCM/SKREEM. Refer to TechCONNECT for detailed service information. From the
Service Info tab select: 8 - Electrical > Vehicle Theft Security - Service Information > Module,
Sentry Key Remote Entry > Removal and Installation.
NOTE:
Obtain the vehicle PIN number prior to programming WCM/SKREEM or ELV.
NOTE:
If during the following steps the PIN number is properly entered but is rejected, then reenter the
PIN number again until it is accepted.
3. After both the WCM/SKREEM and the ELV (if equipped) have been replaced, Program the
WCM/SKREEM as follows:
a. Turn the ignition key to the ON position, (Engine Off)
b. Connect the scan tool (StarSCAN(R)) to the data link connector and turn the ignition to the RUN

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
All switches, components, and modules are shown in the at rest position with the doors closed and
the key removed from the ignition.
Components are shown two ways. A solid line around a component indicates that the component is
complete. A dashed line around the component indicates that the component is being shown is not
complete. Incomplete components have a reference number to indicate the page where the
component is shown complete.
It is important to realize that no attempt is made on the diagrams to represent components and
wiring as they appear on the vehicle. For example, a short piece of wire is treated the same as a
long one. In addition, switches and other components are shown as simply as possible, with regard
to function only.

Connector, Ground and Splice Information
DESCRIPTION - CONNECTOR, GROUND AND SPLICE INFORMATION
CAUTION: Not all connectors are serviced. Some connectors are serviced only with a harness. A
typical example might be the Supplemental Restraint System connectors. Always check parts
availability before attempting a repair.
IDENTIFICATION
In-line connectors are identified by a number, as follows:
- In-line connectors located in the engine compartment are C100 series numbers.
- In-line connectors located in the instrument panel area are C200 series numbers.
- In-line connectors located in the body are C300 series numbers.
- Jumper harness connectors are C400 series numbers.
- Grounds and ground connectors are identified with a "G" and follow the same series numbering
as the in-line connectors.
- Splices are identified with an "S" and follow the same series numbering as the in-line connectors.
In addition, S001-S099 numbers are located in the engine compartment.
- Component connectors are identified by the component name instead of a number. Multiple
connectors on a component use a C1, C2, etc. identifier.
LOCATIONS
Vehicle/Locations contains the master connector/ground/splice location index charts with
hyperlinks to the applicable location illustrations. The illustrations contain the connector name (or
number)/ground number/splice number and component identification.
The abbreviation T/O is used in the component location section to indicate a point in which the
wiring harness branches out to a component. The abbreviation N/S means Not Shown in the

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Sensitive Devices
STANDARD PROCEDURE - ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) SENSITIVE DEVICES
All ESD sensitive components are solid state and a symbol is used to indicate this. When handling
any component with this symbol, comply with the following procedures to reduce the possibility of
electrostatic charge build up on the body and inadvertent discharge into the component. If it is not
known whether the part is ESD sensitive, assume that it is.
1. Always touch a known good ground before handling the part. This should be repeated while
handling the part and more frequently after sliding
across a seat, sitting down from a standing position, or walking a distance.
2. Avoid touching electrical terminals of the part, unless instructed to do so by a written procedure.
3. When using a voltmeter, be sure to connect the ground lead first. 4. Do not remove the part from
it's protective packing until it is time to install the part. 5. Before removing the part from it's
package, ground the package to a known good ground on the vehicle.
Testing Of Voltage Potential
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TESTING OF VOLTAGE POTENTIAL

Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- Ohmmeter - Used to check the resistance between two points of a circuit. Low or no resistance in
a circuit means good continuity.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking resistance in these circuits use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
In addition, make sure the power is disconnected from the circuit. Circuits that are powered up by
the vehicle's electrical system can cause damage to the equipment and provide false readings.
Dodge Ram 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (Truck V8-4.7L (2008))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet > Component Information > Diagrams
> Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 10637
- Probing Tools - These tools are used for probing terminals in connectors. Select the proper size
tool from Special Tool Package 6807, and insert the probing end (2) into the terminal being tested.
Use the other end of the tool (1) to insert the meter probe.
INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent electrical problems are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. It is also
possible for a sticking component or relay to cause a problem. Before condemning a component or
wiring assembly, check the following items.
- Connectors are fully seated
- Spread terminals, or terminal push out
- Terminals in the wiring assembly are fully seated into the connector/component and locked into
position
- Dirt or corrosion on the terminals. Any amount of corrosion or dirt could cause an intermittent
problem
- Damaged connector/component casing exposing the item to dirt or moisture
- Wire insulation that has rubbed through causing a short to ground
- Some or all of the wiring strands broken inside of the insulation
- Wiring broken inside of the insulation
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are six steps which can aid in the procedure. The
steps are listed and explained below. Always check for non-factory items added to the vehicle
before doing any diagnosis. If the vehicle is equipped with these items, disconnect them to verify
these add-on items are not the cause of the problem.
1. Verify the problem. 2. Verify any related symptoms. Do this by performing operational checks on
components that are in the same circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams. 3. Analyze the symptoms.
Use the wiring diagrams to determine what the circuit is doing, where the problem most likely is
occurring and where the
diagnosis will continue.
4. Isolate the problem area. 5. Repair the problem area. 6. Verify the proper operation. For this
step, check for proper operation of all items on the repaired circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams.

Auxiliary Power Outlet: Description and Operation Power Outlet-Instrument Panel
Description
DESCRIPTION
A cigar lighter outlet is installed to the left of the center stack area in the lower instrument panel.
The cigar lighter outlet is secured by a snap fit within the bezel.
The cigar lighter outlet, plastic cap and the knob and heating element unit are available for service
replacement. These components cannot be repaired and, if inoperative or damaged, they must be
replaced.
Operation
OPERATION
The cigar lighter consists of two major components: a knob and heating element unit, and the cigar
lighter base or outlet shell. The receptacle shell is connected to ground, and an insulated contact in
the bottom of the shell is connected to battery current. The cigar lighter receives battery voltage
from a fuse in the Integrated Power Module (IPM) when the ignition switch is in the Accessory or
Run positions.
The cigar lighter knob and heating element are encased within a spring-loaded housing, which also
features a sliding protective heat shield. When the knob and heating element are inserted in the
outlet shell, the heating element resistor coil is grounded through its housing to the outlet shell. If
the cigar lighter knob is pushed inward, the heat shield slides up toward the knob exposing the
heating element, and the heating element extends from the housing toward the insulated contact in
the bottom of the outlet shell.
Two small spring-clip retainers are located on either side of the insulated contact inside the bottom
of the outlet shell. These clips engage and hold the heating element against the insulated contact
long enough for the resistor coil to heat up. When the heating element is engaged with the contact,
battery current can flow through the resistor coil to ground, causing the resistor coil to heat.
When the resistor coil becomes sufficiently heated, excess heat radiates from the heating element
causing the spring-clips to expand. Once the spring-clips expand far enough to release the heating
element, the spring-loaded housing forces the knob and heating element to pop back outward to
their relaxed position. When the cigar lighter knob and element are pulled out of the outlet shell, the
protective heat shield slides downward on the housing so that the heating element is recessed and
shielded around its circumference for safety.

Description
DESCRIPTION
Two power outlets are utilized on this model. One in the instrument panel center lower bezel and
the other in the center console. The power outlet bases are secured by a snap fit within the
instrument panel or trim panel. A plastic protective cap snaps into the power outlet base when the
power outlet is not being used, and hangs from the power outlet base mount by an integral bail
strap while the power outlet is in use.
The power outlet receptacle unit and the accessory power outlet protective cap are available for
service. The power outlet receptacle cannot be repaired and, if faulty or damaged, it must be
replaced.
Operation
OPERATION
The power outlet base or receptacle shell is connected to ground, and an insulated contact in the
bottom of the shell is connected to battery current. The power outlet receives battery voltage from a
fuse in the integrated power module at all times.
While the power outlet is very similar to a cigar lighter base unit, it does not include the two small
spring-clip retainers inside the bottom of the receptacle shell that are used to secure the cigar
lighter heating element to the insulated contact.

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
All switches, components, and modules are shown in the at rest position with the doors closed and
the key removed from the ignition.
Components are shown two ways. A solid line around a component indicates that the component is
complete. A dashed line around the component indicates that the component is being shown is not
complete. Incomplete components have a reference number to indicate the page where the
component is shown complete.
It is important to realize that no attempt is made on the diagrams to represent components and
wiring as they appear on the vehicle. For example, a short piece of wire is treated the same as a
long one. In addition, switches and other components are shown as simply as possible, with regard
to function only.

Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- Ohmmeter - Used to check the resistance between two points of a circuit. Low or no resistance in
a circuit means good continuity.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking resistance in these circuits use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
In addition, make sure the power is disconnected from the circuit. Circuits that are powered up by
the vehicle's electrical system can cause damage to the equipment and provide false readings.
Dodge Ram 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (Truck V8-4.7L (2008))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 10675
- Probing Tools - These tools are used for probing terminals in connectors. Select the proper size
tool from Special Tool Package 6807, and insert the probing end (2) into the terminal being tested.
Use the other end of the tool (1) to insert the meter probe.
INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent electrical problems are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. It is also
possible for a sticking component or relay to cause a problem. Before condemning a component or
wiring assembly, check the following items.
- Connectors are fully seated
- Spread terminals, or terminal push out
- Terminals in the wiring assembly are fully seated into the connector/component and locked into
position
- Dirt or corrosion on the terminals. Any amount of corrosion or dirt could cause an intermittent
problem
- Damaged connector/component casing exposing the item to dirt or moisture
- Wire insulation that has rubbed through causing a short to ground
- Some or all of the wiring strands broken inside of the insulation
- Wiring broken inside of the insulation
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are six steps which can aid in the procedure. The
steps are listed and explained below. Always check for non-factory items added to the vehicle
before doing any diagnosis. If the vehicle is equipped with these items, disconnect them to verify
these add-on items are not the cause of the problem.
1. Verify the problem. 2. Verify any related symptoms. Do this by performing operational checks on
components that are in the same circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams. 3. Analyze the symptoms.
Use the wiring diagrams to determine what the circuit is doing, where the problem most likely is
occurring and where the
diagnosis will continue.
4. Isolate the problem area. 5. Repair the problem area. 6. Verify the proper operation. For this
step, check for proper operation of all items on the repaired circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams.

Fuse: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
All vehicles are equipped with an Ignition-Off Draw (IOD) fuse that is disconnected within the
Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) when the vehicle is shipped from the factory. Dealer
personnel are to reconnect the IOD fuse in the TIPM as part of the new vehicle preparation
procedures and then disconnect it again until new vehicle delivery to the customer.
A laser printed fuse layout map is integral to the TIPM cover to ensure proper fuse identification.
The IOD fuse is a 20 ampere mini blade-type fuse. The fuse is secured within a black molded
plastic fuse holder and puller unit that serves both as a tool for disconnecting and reconnecting the
fuse in the TIPM cavity, and as a fuse holder that conveniently stores the fuse in the same cavity
after it has been disconnected.
CIRCUITS INCLUDED WITH IOD FUSE
- Cluster (CCN)
- Diagnostic Connector
- Map Lamps
- Glove Box Lamp

Fuse: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The term Ignition-Off Draw (IOD) identifies a normal condition where power is being drained from
the battery with the ignition switch in the Off position. The IOD fuse feeds the memory and sleep
mode functions for some of the electronic modules in the vehicle as well as various other
accessories that require battery current when the ignition switch is in the Off position. The only
reason the IOD fuse is disconnected is to reduce the normal IOD of the vehicle electrical system
during new vehicle transportation and pre-delivery storage to reduce battery depletion, while still
allowing vehicle operation so that the vehicle can be loaded, unloaded and moved as needed by
both vehicle transportation company and dealer personnel.
The IOD fuse is disconnected from Integrated Power Module (IPM) fuse cavity # 51 when the
vehicle is shipped from the assembly plant. Dealer personnel must reconnect the IOD fuse when
the vehicle is being prepared for delivery in order to restore full electrical system operation. Once
the vehicle is prepared for delivery, the IOD function of this fuse becomes transparent and the fuse
that has been assigned the IOD designation becomes only another Fused B(+) circuit fuse.
The IOD fuse can be used by the vehicle owner as a convenient means of reducing battery
depletion when a vehicle is to be stored for periods not to exceed about thirty days. However, it
must be remembered that disconnecting the IOD fuse will not eliminate IOD, but only reduce this
normal condition. If a vehicle will be stored for more than about thirty days, the battery negative
cable should be disconnected to eliminate normal IOD; and, the battery should be tested and
recharged at regular intervals during the vehicle storage period to prevent the battery from
becoming discharged or damaged.

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
All switches, components, and modules are shown in the at rest position with the doors closed and
the key removed from the ignition.
Components are shown two ways. A solid line around a component indicates that the component is
complete. A dashed line around the component indicates that the component is being shown is not
complete. Incomplete components have a reference number to indicate the page where the
component is shown complete.
It is important to realize that no attempt is made on the diagrams to represent components and
wiring as they appear on the vehicle. For example, a short piece of wire is treated the same as a
long one. In addition, switches and other components are shown as simply as possible, with regard
to function only.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - TESTING FOR CONTINUITY
1. Remove the fuse (1) for the circuit being checked or, disconnect the battery. 2. Connect one lead
of the ohmmeter to one side of the circuit being tested 3. Connect the other lead to the other end of
the circuit being tested. Low or no resistance means good continuity.
Testing For A Short To Ground
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TESTING FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
1. Remove the fuse and disconnect all items involved with the fuse. 2. Connect a test light or a
voltmeter across the terminals of the fuse. 3. Starting at the fuse block, wiggle the wiring harness
about six to eight inches apart and watch the voltmeter/test lamp. 4. If the voltmeter registers
voltage or the test lamp glows, there is a short to ground in that general area of the wiring harness.
Testing For A Short To Ground On Fuses Powering Several Loads
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TESTING FOR A SHORT TO GROUND ON FUSES POWERING
SEVERAL LOADS
1. Refer to the wiring diagrams and disconnect or isolate all items on the suspected fused circuits.
2. Replace the blown fuse. 3. Supply power to the fuse by turning ON the ignition switch or
re-connecting the battery. 4. Start connecting or energizing the items in the fuse circuit one at a
time. When the fuse blows the circuit with the short to ground has been isolated.

Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- Ohmmeter - Used to check the resistance between two points of a circuit. Low or no resistance in
a circuit means good continuity.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking resistance in these circuits use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
In addition, make sure the power is disconnected from the circuit. Circuits that are powered up by
the vehicle's electrical system can cause damage to the equipment and provide false readings.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse Block > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 10704
- Probing Tools - These tools are used for probing terminals in connectors. Select the proper size
tool from Special Tool Package 6807, and insert the probing end (2) into the terminal being tested.
Use the other end of the tool (1) to insert the meter probe.
INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent electrical problems are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. It is also
possible for a sticking component or relay to cause a problem. Before condemning a component or
wiring assembly, check the following items.
- Connectors are fully seated
- Spread terminals, or terminal push out
- Terminals in the wiring assembly are fully seated into the connector/component and locked into
position
- Dirt or corrosion on the terminals. Any amount of corrosion or dirt could cause an intermittent
problem
- Damaged connector/component casing exposing the item to dirt or moisture
- Wire insulation that has rubbed through causing a short to ground
- Some or all of the wiring strands broken inside of the insulation
- Wiring broken inside of the insulation
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are six steps which can aid in the procedure. The
steps are listed and explained below. Always check for non-factory items added to the vehicle
before doing any diagnosis. If the vehicle is equipped with these items, disconnect them to verify
these add-on items are not the cause of the problem.
1. Verify the problem. 2. Verify any related symptoms. Do this by performing operational checks on
components that are in the same circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams. 3. Analyze the symptoms.
Use the wiring diagrams to determine what the circuit is doing, where the problem most likely is
occurring and where the
diagnosis will continue.
4. Isolate the problem area. 5. Repair the problem area. 6. Verify the proper operation. For this
step, check for proper operation of all items on the repaired circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams.

CAUTION:
- When installing the Integrated Power Module cover, it is important to ensure the cover is properly
positioned and fully latched. Failure to do so may allow water to get into the Integrated Power
Module, and possibly result in a electrical system failure.
- When replacing a blown fuse, it is important to use only a fuse having the correct amperage
rating. The use of a fuse with a rating other than indicated may result in a dangerous electrical
system overload. If a properly rated fuse continues to blow, it indicates a problem in the circuit that
must be corrected.

SUBJECT: No Engine Crank Or No Engine Start Due To Electronic Lockup Of The WCM /
SKREEM
OVERVIEW: This bulletin involves the replacement of the Wireless Control Module (WCM), and if
equipped, the replacement of the Electric Steering Column Lock (ELV). The WCM is also referred
to as the Sentry Key Remote Entry Module (SKREEM).
MODELS:
2007 - 2008 (DR/DH/D1/DC/DM) Ram Truck (1500/2500/3500/4500/5500)
2007 - 2008 (JK) Wrangler
2007 - 2008 (J1) Sebring (China)
2007 - 2008 (JS) Avenger/Sebring
2007 - 2008 (KA) Nitro

2006 - 2008 (PT) Chrysler PT Cruiser
NOTE:
This bulletin applies to vehicles built on or before May 05, 2008 (MDH 0505XX).
SYMPTOM/CONDITION: The customer will experience a no engine crank AND a no engine start
condition. Also, the remote keyless entry (RKE) system will not operate. This condition may be due
to an electrostatic discharge (ESD) from the ignition key into the Wireless Control Module (WCM),
causing the WCM to electronically lockup. This condition may occur more frequently in dry and/or
cold weather conditions where a sufficient electrostatic charge is more easily produced. This
condition is corrected by the replacement of the WCM.
DIAGNOSIS:
1. With the condition present (i.e. the vehicle in the no crank / no start condition), connect the
StarSCAN(R) scan tool to the vehicle.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON position, and power up the StarSCAN(R).
3. If the WCM is electronically locked up, the StarSCAN(R) will display the WCM as being "off bus".
4. If the no crank / no start condition is present, and the WCM is "off bus", then reset the WCM by
temporarily removing the IOD fuse (with the key out of the ignition switch), wait for 10 seconds and
then reinstall the IOD fuse.
5. With the IOD fuse reset having been performed, verify that the vehicle will now crank, start, and
run.
6. If the condition is temporarily corrected by performing the above steps, and if the part number of
the WCM is earlier than the part number of the WCM listed in the part reference table in the
Service Bulletin Parts Required Section below, then perform the Repair Procedure.

SUBJECT: No Engine Crank Or No Engine Start Due To Electronic Lockup Of The WCM /
SKREEM
OVERVIEW: This bulletin involves the replacement of the Wireless Control Module (WCM), and if
equipped, the replacement of the Electric Steering Column Lock (ELV). The WCM is also referred
to as the Sentry Key Remote Entry Module (SKREEM).
MODELS:
2007 - 2008 (DR/DH/D1/DC/DM) Ram Truck (1500/2500/3500/4500/5500)

2006 - 2008 (PT) Chrysler PT Cruiser
NOTE:
This bulletin applies to vehicles built on or before May 05, 2008 (MDH 0505XX).
SYMPTOM/CONDITION: The customer will experience a no engine crank AND a no engine start
condition. Also, the remote keyless entry (RKE) system will not operate. This condition may be due
to an electrostatic discharge (ESD) from the ignition key into the Wireless Control Module (WCM),
causing the WCM to electronically lockup. This condition may occur more frequently in dry and/or
cold weather conditions where a sufficient electrostatic charge is more easily produced. This
condition is corrected by the replacement of the WCM.
DIAGNOSIS:
1. With the condition present (i.e. the vehicle in the no crank / no start condition), connect the
StarSCAN(R) scan tool to the vehicle.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON position, and power up the StarSCAN(R).
3. If the WCM is electronically locked up, the StarSCAN(R) will display the WCM as being "off bus".
4. If the no crank / no start condition is present, and the WCM is "off bus", then reset the WCM by
temporarily removing the IOD fuse (with the key out of the ignition switch), wait for 10 seconds and
then reinstall the IOD fuse.
5. With the IOD fuse reset having been performed, verify that the vehicle will now crank, start, and
run.
6. If the condition is temporarily corrected by performing the above steps, and if the part number of
the WCM is earlier than the part number of the WCM listed in the part reference table in the
Service Bulletin Parts Required Section below, then perform the Repair Procedure.

PARTS REQUIRED:
NOTE:
The part numbers listed in the following part reference table are to be used as A GUIDE to help
determine if the WCM, that is currently in the vehicle, may require replacement. If it is determined
that the WCM requires replacement, then ALWAYS REFER TO THE PARTS MANUAL to
determine the correct WCM for the specific vehicle in question. In some earlier model years, the
WCM may rule (supersede) to one of the part numbers listed in the table. ALWAYS REFER TO
THE PARTS MANUAL (not the part reference table) to determine the correct part number ruling
(supercedence / substitution). MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE CORRECT WCM IS ORDERED THE
FIRST TIME FOR THE SPECIFIC VEHICLE IN QUESTION.

REPAIR PROCEDURE:
NOTE:
If the vehicle (a JS model vehicle in certain International markets) is equipped with an Electric
Steering Column Lock (ELV), then the WCM and the ELV must be replaced. Replace the WCM
and then the ELV. Next program the WCM and at least one (1) ignition key BEFORE programming
the ELV. IMPORTANT: Not following this repair process correctly will cause the new ELV to fail.
NOTE:
Insert the ignition key into the ignition lock cylinder. This will move the shaft lock module locking
bolt to the unlocked position. LEAVE the key in the lock cylinder while the shaft lock module is
being removed.
1. If vehicle is equipped with a Steering Shaft Lock Module (JS - Avenger I Stratus - some
International Markets), then the Shaft Lock Module will require replacement. From the Service Info
tab select: 8 - Electrical > Vehicle Theft Security - Security Information > Module, Shaft Lock >
Removal and Installation.
NOTE:
The shaft lock module cannot be removed from the steering column while the locking bolt is in the
locked position without irreversibly damaging the column. Before attempting service, the ignition
key must have been inserted into the ignition lock cylinder. Then rotate the steering wheel from
side to side. If the steering wheel can be rotated, the locking bolt is in the unlocked position. Leave
the key in the ignition lock cylinder until shaft lock module removal has been completed. If the
steering wheel cannot be rotated, test and repair the wiring circuits between the module and the
ignition switch as required. If no problem is found in these circuits, the module has failed with the
locking bolt in the locked position and both the module and the steering column must be replaced
with new units.
2. Replace the WCM/SKREEM. Refer to TechCONNECT for detailed service information. From the
Service Info tab select: 8 - Electrical > Vehicle Theft Security - Service Information > Module,
Sentry Key Remote Entry > Removal and Installation.

Alignment: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
NOTE: Suspension components with rubber/urethane bushings should be tightened with the
vehicle at normal ride height. It is important to have the springs supporting the weight of the vehicle
when the fasteners are torqued. If springs are not at their normal ride position, vehicle ride comfort
could be affected and premature bushing wear may occur.
Wheel alignment involves the correct positioning of the wheels in relation to the vehicle. The
positioning is accomplished through suspension and steering linkage adjustments. An alignment is
considered essential for efficient steering, good directional stability and to minimize tire wear. The
most important measurements of an alignment are caster, camber and toe.
CAUTION: Never attempt to modify suspension or steering components by heating or bending.

Alignment: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
- CASTER is the forward or rearward tilt of the steering knuckle from vertical. Tilting the top of the
knuckle forward provides less positive caster. Tilting the top of the knuckle rearward provides more
positive caster. Positive caster promotes directional stability. This angle enables the front wheels to
return to a straight ahead position after turns
- CAMBER is the inward or outward tilt of the wheel relative to the center of the vehicle. Tilting the
top of the wheel inward provides negative camber. Tilting the top of the wheel outward provides
positive camber. Incorrect camber will cause wear on the inside or outside edge of the tire
- TOE is the difference between the leading inside edges and trailing inside edges of the front tires.
Wheel toe position out of specification cause's unstable steering, uneven tire wear and steering
wheel off- center. The wheel toe position is the final front wheel alignment adjustment
- THRUST ANGLE is the angle of the rear axle relative to the centerline of the vehicle. Incorrect
thrust angle can cause off-center steering and excessive tire wear. This angle is not adjustable,
damaged component(s) must be replaced to correct the thrust angle

Alignment: Testing and Inspection
PRE-ALIGNMENT INSPECTION
Before starting wheel alignment, the following inspection and necessary corrections must be
completed. Refer to Suspension and Steering System Diagnosis Chart below for additional
information.
1. Inspect tires for size, air pressure and tread wear. 2. Inspect front wheel bearings for wear. 3.
Inspect front wheels for excessive radial or lateral runout and balance. 4. Inspect ball studs, linkage
pivot points and steering gear for looseness, roughness or binding. 5. Inspect suspension

CAMBER, CASTER AND TOE ADJUSTMENT
Camber and caster angle adjustments involve changing the position of the lower control arm with
the slots in the frame brackets (1).
CASTER
Moving the front or rear position of the lower control arm in or out, will change the caster angle and
camber angle significantly. To maintain the camber angle while adjusting caster, move one pivot
bolt of the lower control arm in or out. Then move the other pivot bolt of the lower control arm in the
opposite direction.
To increase positive caster angle, move the rear position of the lower control arm inward (toward
the engine). Move the front of the lower control arm outward (away from the engine) slightly until
the desired camber angle is obtained.
CAMBER
Move both pivot bolts of the lower control arm together in or out. This will change the camber angle
significantly and little effect on the caster angle.
After adjustment is made tighten the lower control arm nuts to proper torque specification.
TOE ADJUSTMENT
The wheel toe position adjustment is the final adjustment.
1. Start the engine and turn wheels both ways before straightening the wheels. Secure the steering
wheel with the front wheels in the straight-ahead
position.
2. Loosen the tie rod jam nuts (1).

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Service and Repair > Camber
and Caster Adjustment > Page 11010
NOTE: Each front wheel should be adjusted for one-half of the total toe position specification. This
will ensure the steering wheel will be centered when the wheels are positioned straight-ahead.
3. Adjust the wheel toe position by turning the inner tie rod (2) as necessary. 4. Tighten the tie rod
jam nut (1) to 127 Nm (94 ft. lbs.).
NOTE: Make sure the toe setting does not change during tightening.
5. Verify the specifications 6. Turn off engine.

Alignment: Service and Repair Curb Height Measurement (LD)
CURB HEIGHT MEASUREMENT (LD)
The wheel alignment is to be checked and all alignment adjustments made with the vehicle at its
required curb height specification.
Vehicle height is to be checked with the vehicle on a flat, level surface, preferably a vehicle
alignment rack. The tires are to be inflated to the recommended pressure. All tires are to be the
same size as standard equipment. Vehicle height is checked with the fuel tank full of fuel, and no
passenger or luggage compartment load.
Inspect the vehicle for bent or weak suspension components. Compare the parts tag on the
suspect coil spring(s) to the parts book and the vehicle sales code, checking for a match. Once
removed from the vehicle, compare the coil spring height to a correct new or known good coil
spring. The heights should vary if the suspect spring is weak.
1. Front - On each side of the vehicle, measure the distance from the center of the rear lower
control arm bolt (1) to the ground (2) Record the
measurement. Next measure the distance from the spindle center (3) to the ground (4) Record the
measurement.
2. Take the two measurements and subtract them to get the curb height specification.
3. Rear 4X2 LD - On each side of the vehicle, measure the distance at the axle tube (1) to the
jounce bumper flange (2). 4. Rear 4X4 LD - On each side of the vehicle, measure the distance at
the jounce pad welded to the axle tube (1) to the jounce bumper flange (2). 5. Compare the
measurements to the specifications listed in the following Curb Height Specifications chart.

Tire Pressure Monitor Receiver / Transponder: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
A transponder (2), also known as a trigger module, is located in the front wheel wells (behind the
wheelhouse splash shields) of the vehicle to provide the WCM/SKREEM with the location of the
front tire pressure sensors on the vehicle.

Tire Pressure Monitor Receiver / Transponder: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The Wireless Control Module (WCM), commonly referred to as the Sentry Key Remote Entry
Module (SKREEM), uses transponders (trigger modules) located in the front wheel wells on the
vehicle to provide it with the location of the front tire pressure sensors on the vehicle. Like the base
system, the WCM receives RF signals from all four rotating wheel speed sensors. When the WCM
needs to know which sensor is located at a particular location on the vehicle, it directs the
transponder at that location to send out a low frequency signal to excite the nearby sensor. The
WCM then receives that excited signal and knows where that sensor is located. This auto-locating
process only happens in the first 10 minutes of any WCM cycle while traveling at speeds above 20
mph (32 km/h) (Each WCM cycle ends when the vehicle has been shut off for a time period of
approximately 20 minutes or longer). If the TPMS fails to localize, the TPM indicator lamp will flash
on/off for 75 seconds, and remain on solid.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Service Precautions
CAUTION
CAUTION: The use of tire sealants is not recommended for vehicles equipped with the Tire
Pressure Monitoring system. Tire sealants may clog tire pressure sensors.
CAUTION: Tire pressure sensor valve stem caps and cores are specially designed for the sensors.
Due to risk of corrosion, do not use a standard valve stem cap or core in a tire pressure sensor in
place of the original equipment style sensor cap and core.
CAUTION: It is not recommended to install a tire pressure sensor in an aftermarket wheel. Use tire
pressure sensors in original style factory wheels only.
CAUTION: Any time a sensor is to be reinstalled in a wheel, a new seal, cap and valve core must
be installed on the stem to ensure air tight sealing.
NOTE: TPM thresholds have been established for the original tire size equipped on the vehicle.
Use original size tires only to maintain system accuracy.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
On vehicles equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring System, one tire pressure sensor (6) is
mounted to each wheel in place of the traditional tire valve stem. Each sensor has an internal
battery that lasts up to 10 years. The battery is not serviceable. At the time of battery failure, the
sensor (6) must be replaced. The TPM system operates on a 315 MHz radio frequency. The 315
MHz sensors can be easily identified by a GREEN sensor body, with (an triangle insignia) (1). The
433 MHz sensors can be identified by a grey sensor body with an oval insignia. For car
applications, there is a 315 MHz TPM sensor with a Black sensor body with an oval insignia.
NOTE: This vehicle uses the 315 MHz TPM sensor with the GREEN sensor body. Although 315
MHz and 433 MHz sensors are identical in size and shape, they are not interchangeable. Always
make sure the correct color sensor is being used. A RKE-TPM Analyzer can be used to determine
the sensor's frequency without having to dismount the tire.
The TPM sensors are designed for original style factory wheels. It is not recommended to install a
tire pressure sensor in an aftermarket wheel. (This could cause sealing and system performance
issues.)
The serviceable components of the tire pressure sensor are:
- Sensor-To-Wheel Seal (4)
- Valve Stem Cap (2)
- Valve Stem Core
- Valve Stem Nut (3)
The valve stem caps and cores used are specifically designed for the tire pressure monitoring
sensors. Although similar to standard valve stem caps and cores, they are different. The valve
stem cap has a special seal inside to keep moisture and corrosion out. The valve stem core has a
special nickel coating to protect from corrosion.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
CAUTION: The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS
pressures have been established for the tire size equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable system
operation or sensor damage may result when using replacement equipment that is not of the same
size, type, and/or style. After-market wheels can cause sensor damage. Do not use aftermarket tire
sealants or balance beads if your vehicle is equipped with a TPMS, as damage to the sensors may
result.
CAUTION: After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure always reinstall the valve stem cap. This
will prevent moisture and dirt from entering the valve stem, which could damage the Tire Pressure
Monitoring Sensor.
CAUTION: Tire pressure sensor valve stem caps and cores are specially designed for the sensors.
Due to risk of corrosion, do not use a standard valve stem cap or core in a tire pressure sensor in
place of the original equipment style sensor cap and core.
CAUTION: Any time a sensor is to be reinstalled in a wheel, a new seal, nut, cap and valve core
must be installed on the stem to ensure air tight sealing.
NOTE: TPM thresholds have been established for the original tire size equipped on the vehicle.
Use original size tires only to maintain system accuracy.
The battery operated tire pressure sensor is both a transmitter and a receiver. The TPM sensor can
be forced to transmit if using a special tool such as a TPM-RKE Analyzer, or from a transponder.
The TPM-RKE Analyzer has the ability to change the sensor mode and to diagnose a faulty TPM
sensor. Using a TPM-RKE Analyzer can take up to a minute to force a transmission from a sensor.
The High Pressure TPM sensor can be in one of the following modes:
Sleep Mode - A new TPM sensor will be in this mode. If placed on the vehicle as a road tire, the
TPM sensor will transmit once every 20 seconds when the vehicle is driven at speeds over 15 mph
(24 km/h). If the vehicle is not moving, the sensor will only transmit on a pressure change greater
then 2 psi (13.8 kPA). Driving the vehicle continuously at speeds over 15 mph (24 km/h) for more
then 4 minutes will change the sensor state into 30 BLOCK MODE. The TPM sensor will not return
to SLEEP MODE. Now, if the vehicle has been stopped for 20 minutes, the TPM sensor state will
change to PARK MODE.
- Park Mode - This is the correct mode when the vehicle is not moving. The sensor will transmit
once every 13 hours to update the WCM, or will transmit on a 2 psi (13.8 kPA) delta change. The
sensors will internally take a measurement of the tire pressure every minute to determine a change
in tire pressure.
- 30 Block Mode - If the vehicle has not been moving for more then 20 minutes, or if the sensor's
mode was forced to Park Mode using a TPM-RKE Analyzer, the sensor's operating mode will
transition from PARK MODE to 30 BLOCK MODE once the vehicle is driven over 15 mph. In this
mode, the sensor will transmit once every 15 seconds when the vehicle is driven at speeds over 15
mph (24 km/h) for the first 30 transmissions. After 8 minutes of continuous driving above 15 mph
(24 km/h), the TPM sensor will change to DRIVE MODE.
Drive Mode - In this mode, the sensor will transmit once every minute when the vehicle is driven at
speeds over 15 mph (24 km/h). At any time that the vehicle speed drops below 15mph, the sensor
will not transmit. The sensor mode will still be in drive mode when the sensor reaches speeds over
15 mph (24 km/h). If the vehicle has been stationary for more then 20 minutes, the TPM sensor will
change to PARK MODE.
Each sensor's (transmitter) broadcast is uniquely coded so that the wireless control module (WCM)
can monitor the state of each of the sensors on the four rotating road wheels. The WCM can
automatically learn and store the sensor's ID while driving "within 10 minutes continuously above
15 m.p.h. (24 Km/h)" after a sensor has been replaced. The vehicle must be stationary for more
then 20 minutes in order to initiate the learning sequence.
The sensor IDs can also be programmed using the TPM-RKE Analyzer Tool. Scan each TPM
sensor at each road wheel, and store each Sensor ID in the correct location. (LEFT FRONT, LEFT
REAR, RIGHT FRONT, and RIGHT REAR) Connect the TPM-RKE Analyzer Tool to the Scan Tool.
Then follow the programming steps outlined in the diagnostic Scan Tool for "Program Tire Pressure
Sensor ID w/ TPM Tool" under "MISC" for the "WCM/WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE".

Tire Pressure Sensor: Testing and Inspection
TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR
NOTE: Tire pressure may increase from 2 to 6 psi (14 to 41 kPa) during normal driving conditions.
Do NOT reduce this normal pressure build up.
NOTE: Tire pressure will vary with temperature by about 1 psi (6.9 kPa) for every 12 F (6.5 C). This
means that when the outside temperature decreases, the tire pressure will also decrease. Tire
pressure should always be set based on cold inflation tire pressure.
When diagnosing a tire pressure issue, always check air pressure in the tires first with a known
accurate air gauge. Adjust air pressure as necessary to that listed on the Tire Inflation Pressure
Label (Placard) provided with the vehicle (usually applied to the driver's side B-pillar). After
adjusting air pressure in a tire on the vehicle, allow approximately two minutes for the message or
indicator lamp to go out.
Check the tire pressure indicator lamp in the instrument cluster. If the lamp is illuminating
continuously, inspect all the tires for leaks. A water "dunk tank" or other water test may be used to
check for leaks around the sensor as long as any water at the valve core is removed once the
procedure is completed. The water can be easily expelled from the core area by pushing in on the
core for several seconds, allowing escaping air to drive out any moisture. Reinflate the tire as
necessary. Always make sure the original valve stem cap is securely installed to keep moisture out
of the sensor. If the gauge-read pressure in the tires does not indicate a tire pressure issue, refer to
the appropriate diagnostic information.
If the indicator lamp is flashing on/off for 75 seconds and then remains on solid, a system fault was
detected. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

REMOVAL
1. Raise and support vehicle. 2. Remove the tire and wheel assembly. See: Wheels and
Tires/Service and Repair/Removal and Replacement
CAUTION: The cap used on this valve stem contains an O-ring seal to prevent contamination and
moisture from entering the valve stem. Retain this valve stem cap for reuse. Do not substitute a
regular valve stem cap in its place.
CAUTION: The valve stem used on this vehicle is made of aluminum and the core is nickel plated
brass. The original valve stem core must be reinstalled and not substituted with a valve stem core
made of a different material. This is required to prevent corrosion in the valve stem caused by the
different metals.
3. Let the air out of the tire. 4. Remove the nut (3). 5. Push the sensor into the tire (1) (so the
sensor is loose inside the tire). 6. Remove the tire from the rim. 7. Retrieve the sensor (1) from the

core and sensor seal (4) to ensure proper sealing.
NOTE: The notch/flat should be lined up together and facing towards the wheel during installation.
1. Wipe area clean around sensor/valve stem mounting hole in wheel. Make sure surface of wheel
is not damaged.
2. Insert sensor (1) through wheel (2) as shown keeping pressure against rear of metal valve stem
(See Arrow). Potted side of sensor is to be
positioned toward wheel. Damage to the sensor may occur if the sensor is installed incorrectly.
NOTE: A flat on the seal seat is used to key the seat to the sensor housing. The notch/flat should
be lined up together and facing towards the wheel during installation.
3. Install sensor nut (3) and hand tighten.
NOTE: Before tightening sensor nut, push downward on sensor housing (2) in an attempt to make
it flush with interior contour of wheel (1).
4. While holding sensor in position, tighten sensor nut to 6 Nm (53 in. lbs.).
CAUTION: Over-tightening the sensor to as much as 10 Nm (88 in. lbs.) may result in sensor
separation from the valve stem. Under this condition, the sensor may still function, however, the
condition should be corrected immediately.
5. Mount tire on wheel following tire changer manufacturer's instructions, paying special attention to
the following to avoid damaging tire pressure
sensor: a.

Rotating Wheel Tire Changers- Once the wheel is mounted to the changer, position the sensor
valve stem (2) approximately 180° from the head of the changer (located at 1) in a clockwise
direction before rotating the wheel (also in a clockwise direction) to mount the tire. Use this
procedure on both the upper and lower tire beads.
b.
Rotating Tool Tire Changers - Position the wheel on the changer so that the sensor valve stem (1)
is located approximately 180° clockwise from the installation end of the mounting/dismounting tool
(2) once the tool is mounted for tire installation. Make sure the sensor is clear of the lower bead
breaker area (3) to avoid damaging the sensor when the breaker rises. Rotate the tool (2) in a
counterclockwise direction to mount the tire. Use this procedure on both the upper and lower tire
beads.
6. Adjust air pressure to that listed on Tire Inflation Pressure Label (Placard) provided with vehicle
(usually applied to driver's side B-pillar). Make
sure original style valve stem cap is securely installed to keep moisture out of sensor.
7. Install tire and wheel assembly on vehicle. See: Wheels and Tires/Service and Repair/Removal
and Replacement 8. Lower vehicle. 9. If the vehicle has been stationary for more then 20 minutes,
drive the vehicle for a minimum of 10 minutes while maintaining a continuous speed
above 15 mph (24 km/h). During this time, the system will learn the new sensor ID. A new sensor
ID can also be programmed directly into the WCM by using a RKE-TPM Analyzer in conjunction
with a Scan Tool. Once the new sensor ID has been programmed, the RKE-TPM Analyzer can be
used to update the TPMS by activating the sensor.
NOTE: If a sensor cannot be trained, refer to appropriate diagnostic information.

IMPORTANT:
Some of the involved vehicles may be in dealer new vehicle inventory. Federal law requires you to
complete this recall service on these vehicles before retail delivery. Dealers should also consider
this requirement to apply to used vehicle inventory and should perform this recall on vehicles in for
service. Involved vehicles can be determined by using the VIP inquiry process.
Subject
During a prior service appointment, a Mopar service parts steering linkage was installed on about
19,400 of the above vehicles. The drag link inner joint may fracture under certain driving conditions.
This could result in a loss of steering control and cause a crash without warning.
Also, the steering damper bracket at the tie rod tube may loosen. This could allow the bracket to
slide on the tube and may cause increased vehicle turning radius.
Repair
The steering linkage must be inspected and some steering linkage components may need to be
replaced.
NOTE:
The initial steering linkage inspection process can be done by write up personnel in the write up
area (see Step 1 of the service procedure). Vehicles found with original style steering linkage can
be immediately returned to the customer.

NOTE:
This recall applies only to the above vehicles built from February 19, 2008 through October 30,
2008 (MDH 021910 through 103006).
IMPORTANT:
Many of the vehicles within the above build period have already been inspected or repaired and,
therefore, have been excluded from this recall.
IMPORTANT:
Some of the involved vehicles may be in dealer new vehicle inventory. Federal law requires you to
complete this recall service on these vehicles before retail delivery. Dealers should also consider
this requirement to apply to used vehicle inventory and should perform this recall on vehicles in for
service. Involved vehicles can be determined by using the VIP inquiry process.
Subject
The steering drag link inner joint on about 32,700 of the above vehicles may fracture under certain
driving conditions. This could result in a loss of steering control and cause a crash without warning.
Also the steering damper bracket at the tie rod tube may loosen. This could allow the bracket to
slide on the tube and may cause increased vehicle turning radius.
Repair
The drag link inner joint must be replaced and the steering damper bracket must be inspected and
replaced if required.
Alternate Transportation
Dealers should attempt to minimize customer inconvenience by placing the owner in a loaner
vehicle if inspection determines that the steering damper bracket is required and the vehicle must
be held overnight.

Dealer Service Instructions for:
Safety Recall H36 Steering Drag Link Inner Joint and Damper Bracket
NOTE:
The service procedure for this recall has been revised. All previous copies of Safety Recall H36
should be discarded from your files.
Models
2008-2009 (DH / D1) Dodge Truck (2500/3500 series or 1500 Mega Cab)
NOTE:
This recall applies only to the above vehicles equipped with four wheel drive (sales code 5I4) built
from February 19, 2008 through October 30, 2008 (MDH 021910 through 103006).
2008-2009 (DC) Dodge Truck (3500 series cab chassis)
NOTE:
This recall applies only to the above vehicles built from February 19, 2008 through October 30,
2008 (MDH 021910 through 103006).
IMPORTANT:
Many of the vehicles within the above build period have already been inspected or repaired and,
therefore, have been excluded from this recall.
IMPORTANT:
Some of the involved vehicles may be in dealer new vehicle inventory. Federal law requires you to
complete this recall service on these vehicles before retail delivery. Dealers should also consider
this requirement to apply to used vehicle inventory and should perform this recall on vehicles in for
service. Involved vehicles can be determined by using the VIP inquiry process.
Subject
The steering drag link inner joint on about 32,700 of the above vehicles may fracture under certain
driving conditions. This could result in a loss of steering control and cause a crash without warning.
Also the steering damper bracket at the tie rod tube may loosen. This could allow the bracket to
slide on the tube and may cause increased vehicle turning radius.
Repair
The drag link inner joint must be replaced and the steering damper bracket must be inspected and
replaced if required.
Alternate Transportation
Dealers should attempt to minimize customer inconvenience by placing the owner in a loaner
vehicle if inspection determines that the steering damper bracket is required and the vehicle must
be held overnight.

DISCUSSION:
Chrysler Group vehicle fluid systems do NOT require regular flushing. These systems include:
engine oil, transmission oil, axle lube, brake fluid, power steering fluid, and refrigerant. The only
exception to this requirement are published in the vehicle maintenance schedules, e.g. engine
coolant.
Exceptions to this recommendation include only those instances where a failure has occurred
and/or the system has become compromised, contaminated or overheated beyond the normal
operating range.
Chrysler Group does NOT recommend aftermarket chemicals to flush the engine, transmission,
brake or steering systems. Chemicals contained in these products can damage the system
elastomeric components, and contaminate the component fluid, leading to loss of
system/component durability and service life. When necessary, only the original approved system
fluid should be used to flush these components using teamPSE(R) approved equipment.
If the engine coolant contains a considerable amount of sediment, clean and flush with Mopar
Cooling System Flush, p/n 04856977, or equivalent. Follow with a thorough rinsing to remove all
deposits and chemicals. Refill with a minimum of a 50% mixture of the specified coolant and
distilled water.

POWER STEERING FLUID
Mopar(R) ATF +4, Automatic Transmission Fluid is required in the power steering system.
Substitute fluids can induce power steering system failure.
Mopar(R) ATF +4, Automatic Transmission Fluid when new is red in color. The ATF is dyed red so
it can be identified from other fluids used in the vehicle such as engine oil or antifreeze. The red
color is not permanent and is not an indicator of fluid condition. As the vehicle is driven, the ATF
will begin to look darker in color and may eventually become brown. This is normal. ATF+4 also
has a unique odor that may change with age. Consequently, odor and color cannot be used to
indicate the fluid condition or the need for a fluid change.

Power Steering Fluid: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
NOTE: It is normal that some pressure will build up inside the reservoir, especially, with a warm
vehicle. A slight popping noise upon removal of the cap is normal. The fluid level should read
between the ADD and the FULL COLD marks. When the fluid is hot it should read between ADD
and FULL HOT marks. Only add fluid when the vehicle is cold.
The recommended fluid for the power steering system is Mopar(R) ATF +4.
Mopar(R) ATF+4, when new is red in color. The ATF+4 is dyed red so it can be identified from
other fluids used in the vehicle such as engine oil or antifreeze. The red color is not permanent and

POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL CHECKING
WARNING: FLUID LEVEL SHOULD BE CHECKED WITH THE ENGINE OFF TO PREVENT
PERSONAL INJURY FROM MOVING PARTS.
CAUTION: MOPAR(R) ATF+4 is to be used in the power steering system. No other power steering
or automatic transmission fluid is to be used in the system. Damage may result to the power
steering pump and system if any other fluid is used, and do not overfill.
The power steering fluid level can be viewed on the dipstick attached to the filler cap. There are
two ranges listed on the dipstick, COLD and HOT. Before opening power steering system, wipe the
reservoir filler cap free of dirt and debris. Remove the cap and check the fluid level on its dipstick.
When the fluid is at normal ambient temperature, approximately 21°C to 27°C (70°F to 80°F), the
fluid level should read between the minimum and maximum area of the cold range. When the fluid
is hot, fluid level is allowed to read up to the highest end of the HOT range. Only add fluid when the
vehicle is cold.
Use only Mopar(R) ATF+4. Do not overfill the power steering system.

contaminated. Contaminated fluid in the steering/booster system can cause seal deterioration and
affect steering gear/booster spool valve operation.
NOTE: The engine should not be run so that all of the fluid is drained from the system. The pump
should never be run without fluid.
1. Raise the front end of the vehicle off the ground until the wheels are free to turn. 2. Remove the
return line from the pump.
NOTE: If vehicle is equipped with a hydraulic booster remove both return lines from the pump.
3. Plug the return line port/ports at the pump. 4. Position the return line/lines into a large container
to catch the fluid. 5. While an assistant is filling the pump reservoir start the engine. 6. With the
engine running at idle turn the wheel back and forth.
NOTE: Do not contact or hold the wheel against the steering stops.
7. Run a quart of fluid through the system then stop the engine and install the return line/lines. 8.
Fill the system with fluid and perform Steering Pump Initial Operation, See: Power Steering
Bleeding/Service and Repair . 9. Start the engine and run it for fifteen minutes then stop the
engine.
10. Remove the return line/lines from the pump and plug the pump port/ports. 11. Pour fresh fluid
into the reservoir and check the draining fluid for contamination. If the fluid is still contaminated,
then flush the system again. 12. Install the return line/lines and perform Steering Pump Initial
Operation, See: Power Steering Bleeding/Service and Repair .

SUBJECT: No Engine Crank Or No Engine Start Due To Electronic Lockup Of The WCM /
SKREEM
OVERVIEW: This bulletin involves the replacement of the Wireless Control Module (WCM), and if
equipped, the replacement of the Electric Steering Column Lock (ELV). The WCM is also referred
to as the Sentry Key Remote Entry Module (SKREEM).
MODELS:
2007 - 2008 (DR/DH/D1/DC/DM) Ram Truck (1500/2500/3500/4500/5500)
2007 - 2008 (JK) Wrangler
2007 - 2008 (J1) Sebring (China)
2007 - 2008 (JS) Avenger/Sebring
2007 - 2008 (KA) Nitro
2008 (KK) Liberty/Cherokee
2007 - 2008 (MK) Compass/Patriot
2007 - 2008 (PM) Caliber
2006 - 2008 (PT) Chrysler PT Cruiser
NOTE:
This bulletin applies to vehicles built on or before May 05, 2008 (MDH 0505XX).
SYMPTOM/CONDITION: The customer will experience a no engine crank AND a no engine start
condition. Also, the remote keyless entry (RKE) system will not operate. This condition may be due
to an electrostatic discharge (ESD) from the ignition key into the Wireless Control Module (WCM),
causing the WCM to electronically lockup. This condition may occur more frequently in dry and/or
cold weather conditions where a sufficient electrostatic charge is more easily produced. This
condition is corrected by the replacement of the WCM.
DIAGNOSIS:
1. With the condition present (i.e. the vehicle in the no crank / no start condition), connect the
StarSCAN(R) scan tool to the vehicle.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON position, and power up the StarSCAN(R).
3. If the WCM is electronically locked up, the StarSCAN(R) will display the WCM as being "off bus".
4. If the no crank / no start condition is present, and the WCM is "off bus", then reset the WCM by
temporarily removing the IOD fuse (with the key out of the ignition switch), wait for 10 seconds and
then reinstall the IOD fuse.
5. With the IOD fuse reset having been performed, verify that the vehicle will now crank, start, and
run.
6. If the condition is temporarily corrected by performing the above steps, and if the part number of
the WCM is earlier than the part number of the WCM listed in the part reference table in the
Service Bulletin Parts Required Section below, then perform the Repair Procedure.

PARTS REQUIRED:
NOTE:
The part numbers listed in the following part reference table are to be used as A GUIDE to help
determine if the WCM, that is currently in the vehicle, may require replacement. If it is determined
that the WCM requires replacement, then ALWAYS REFER TO THE PARTS MANUAL to
determine the correct WCM for the specific vehicle in question. In some earlier model years, the
WCM may rule (supersede) to one of the part numbers listed in the table. ALWAYS REFER TO
THE PARTS MANUAL (not the part reference table) to determine the correct part number ruling
(supercedence / substitution). MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE CORRECT WCM IS ORDERED THE
FIRST TIME FOR THE SPECIFIC VEHICLE IN QUESTION.

REPAIR PROCEDURE:
NOTE:
If the vehicle (a JS model vehicle in certain International markets) is equipped with an Electric
Steering Column Lock (ELV), then the WCM and the ELV must be replaced. Replace the WCM
and then the ELV. Next program the WCM and at least one (1) ignition key BEFORE programming
the ELV. IMPORTANT: Not following this repair process correctly will cause the new ELV to fail.
NOTE:
Insert the ignition key into the ignition lock cylinder. This will move the shaft lock module locking
bolt to the unlocked position. LEAVE the key in the lock cylinder while the shaft lock module is
being removed.
1. If vehicle is equipped with a Steering Shaft Lock Module (JS - Avenger I Stratus - some
International Markets), then the Shaft Lock Module will require replacement. From the Service Info
tab select: 8 - Electrical > Vehicle Theft Security - Security Information > Module, Shaft Lock >
Removal and Installation.
NOTE:
The shaft lock module cannot be removed from the steering column while the locking bolt is in the
locked position without irreversibly damaging the column. Before attempting service, the ignition
key must have been inserted into the ignition lock cylinder. Then rotate the steering wheel from
side to side. If the steering wheel can be rotated, the locking bolt is in the unlocked position. Leave
the key in the ignition lock cylinder until shaft lock module removal has been completed. If the
steering wheel cannot be rotated, test and repair the wiring circuits between the module and the
ignition switch as required. If no problem is found in these circuits, the module has failed with the
locking bolt in the locked position and both the module and the steering column must be replaced
with new units.
2. Replace the WCM/SKREEM. Refer to TechCONNECT for detailed service information. From the
Service Info tab select: 8 - Electrical > Vehicle Theft Security - Service Information > Module,
Sentry Key Remote Entry > Removal and Installation.
NOTE:
Obtain the vehicle PIN number prior to programming WCM/SKREEM or ELV.
NOTE:
If during the following steps the PIN number is properly entered but is rejected, then reenter the
PIN number again until it is accepted.
3. After both the WCM/SKREEM and the ELV (if equipped) have been replaced, Program the
WCM/SKREEM as follows:
a. Turn the ignition key to the ON position, (Engine Off)
b. Connect the scan tool (StarSCAN(R)) to the data link connector and turn the ignition to the RUN
position, (engine off).
c. Select "ECU View."

IMPORTANT:
This recall only applies to vehicles that had certain Mopar service parts steering components
installed.
IMPORTANT:
Some of the involved vehicles may be in dealer new vehicle inventory. Federal law requires you to
complete this recall service on these vehicles before retail delivery. Dealers should also consider
this requirement to apply to used vehicle inventory and should perform this recall on vehicles in for
service. Involved vehicles can be determined by using the VIP inquiry process.
Subject
During a prior service appointment, a Mopar service parts steering linkage was installed on about
19,400 of the above vehicles. The drag link inner joint may fracture under certain driving conditions.
This could result in a loss of steering control and cause a crash without warning.
Also, the steering damper bracket at the tie rod tube may loosen. This could allow the bracket to
slide on the tube and may cause increased vehicle turning radius.
Repair
The steering linkage must be inspected and some steering linkage components may need to be
replaced.
NOTE:
The initial steering linkage inspection process can be done by write up personnel in the write up
area (see Step 1 of the service procedure). Vehicles found with original style steering linkage can
be immediately returned to the customer.

IMPORTANT:
This recall only applies to vehicles that had certain Mopar service parts steering components
installed.
IMPORTANT:
Some of the involved vehicles may be in dealer new vehicle inventory. Federal law requires you to
complete this recall service on these vehicles before retail delivery. Dealers should also consider
this requirement to apply to used vehicle inventory and should perform this recall on vehicles in for
service. Involved vehicles can be determined by using the VIP inquiry process.
Subject
During a prior service appointment, a Mopar service parts steering linkage was installed on about
19,400 of the above vehicles. The drag link inner joint may fracture under certain driving conditions.
This could result in a loss of steering control and cause a crash without warning.
Also, the steering damper bracket at the tie rod tube may loosen. This could allow the bracket to
slide on the tube and may cause increased vehicle turning radius.
Repair
The steering linkage must be inspected and some steering linkage components may need to be
replaced.
NOTE:
The initial steering linkage inspection process can be done by write up personnel in the write up
area (see Step 1 of the service procedure). Vehicles found with original style steering linkage can
be immediately returned to the customer.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Suspension > Suspension Strut / Shock Absorber > Component
Information > Testing and Inspection > Diagnosis and Testing - Shock - Independent Front Suspension
Suspension Strut / Shock Absorber: Testing and Inspection Diagnosis and Testing - Shock Independent Front Suspension
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
A knocking or rattling noise from a shock absorber may be caused by movement between
mounting bushings and metal brackets or attaching components. These noises can usually be
stopped by tightening the attaching nuts. If the noise persists, inspect for damaged and worn
bushings, and attaching components. Repair as necessary if any of these conditions exist.
WARNING: The shock absorbers are under high pressure. Do Not heat or attempt to open the
shock absorbers.
A squeal noise from the shock absorber may be caused by the hydraulic valving and may be
intermittent. This condition is not repairable and the shock absorber must be replaced. A squeak or
creak noise coming from the shock area may be related to any of the suspension components or
mounts, but not necessarily the shock.
NOTE: When inspecting the shock absorber, do not clamp the body or the piston rod.
NOTE: Monotube shock absorber compression forces will be much higher than standard shock
absorbers.
The shock absorbers are not refillable or adjustable. If a malfunction occurs, the shock absorber
must be replaced. To check a shock absorber, grasp the tube and invert the shock so the piston
rod touches the ground, then compress the shock four or five times. The action throughout each
stroke should be smooth and even, and the piston rod should extend from the shock on its own.
The shock absorber bushings do not require any type of lubrication. Do not attempt to stop bushing
noise by lubricating them. Grease and mineral oil-base lubricants will deteriorate the bushing.

Suspension Strut / Shock Absorber: Testing and Inspection Diagnosis and Testing - Shock Link/Coil
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
A knocking or rattling noise from a shock absorber (5) may be caused by movement between
mounting grommets (1&6) and metal brackets (3) or attaching components. These noises can
usually be stopped by tightening the attaching nuts. If the noise persists, inspect for damaged and
worn bushings, and attaching components. Repair as necessary if any of these conditions exist.
A squeaking noise from the shock absorber may be caused by the hydraulic valving and may be
intermittent. This condition is not repairable and the shock absorber must be replaced.
The shock absorbers are not refillable or adjustable. If a malfunction occurs, the shock absorber
must be replaced. To test a shock absorber, hold it in an upright position and force the piston in
and out of the cylinder four or five times. The action throughout each stroke should be smooth and
even.
The shock absorber bushings do not require any type of lubrication. Do not attempt to stop bushing
noise by lubricating them. Grease and mineral oil-base lubricants will deteriorate the bushing.

Tire Pressure Monitor Receiver / Transponder: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
A transponder (2), also known as a trigger module, is located in the front wheel wells (behind the
wheelhouse splash shields) of the vehicle to provide the WCM/SKREEM with the location of the
front tire pressure sensors on the vehicle.

Tire Pressure Monitor Receiver / Transponder: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The Wireless Control Module (WCM), commonly referred to as the Sentry Key Remote Entry
Module (SKREEM), uses transponders (trigger modules) located in the front wheel wells on the
vehicle to provide it with the location of the front tire pressure sensors on the vehicle. Like the base
system, the WCM receives RF signals from all four rotating wheel speed sensors. When the WCM
needs to know which sensor is located at a particular location on the vehicle, it directs the
transponder at that location to send out a low frequency signal to excite the nearby sensor. The
WCM then receives that excited signal and knows where that sensor is located. This auto-locating
process only happens in the first 10 minutes of any WCM cycle while traveling at speeds above 20
mph (32 km/h) (Each WCM cycle ends when the vehicle has been shut off for a time period of
approximately 20 minutes or longer). If the TPMS fails to localize, the TPM indicator lamp will flash
on/off for 75 seconds, and remain on solid.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Service Precautions
CAUTION
CAUTION: The use of tire sealants is not recommended for vehicles equipped with the Tire
Pressure Monitoring system. Tire sealants may clog tire pressure sensors.
CAUTION: Tire pressure sensor valve stem caps and cores are specially designed for the sensors.
Due to risk of corrosion, do not use a standard valve stem cap or core in a tire pressure sensor in
place of the original equipment style sensor cap and core.
CAUTION: It is not recommended to install a tire pressure sensor in an aftermarket wheel. Use tire
pressure sensors in original style factory wheels only.
CAUTION: Any time a sensor is to be reinstalled in a wheel, a new seal, cap and valve core must
be installed on the stem to ensure air tight sealing.
NOTE: TPM thresholds have been established for the original tire size equipped on the vehicle.
Use original size tires only to maintain system accuracy.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
On vehicles equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring System, one tire pressure sensor (6) is
mounted to each wheel in place of the traditional tire valve stem. Each sensor has an internal
battery that lasts up to 10 years. The battery is not serviceable. At the time of battery failure, the
sensor (6) must be replaced. The TPM system operates on a 315 MHz radio frequency. The 315
MHz sensors can be easily identified by a GREEN sensor body, with (an triangle insignia) (1). The
433 MHz sensors can be identified by a grey sensor body with an oval insignia. For car
applications, there is a 315 MHz TPM sensor with a Black sensor body with an oval insignia.
NOTE: This vehicle uses the 315 MHz TPM sensor with the GREEN sensor body. Although 315
MHz and 433 MHz sensors are identical in size and shape, they are not interchangeable. Always
make sure the correct color sensor is being used. A RKE-TPM Analyzer can be used to determine
the sensor's frequency without having to dismount the tire.
The TPM sensors are designed for original style factory wheels. It is not recommended to install a
tire pressure sensor in an aftermarket wheel. (This could cause sealing and system performance
issues.)
The serviceable components of the tire pressure sensor are:
- Sensor-To-Wheel Seal (4)
- Valve Stem Cap (2)
- Valve Stem Core
- Valve Stem Nut (3)
The valve stem caps and cores used are specifically designed for the tire pressure monitoring
sensors. Although similar to standard valve stem caps and cores, they are different. The valve
stem cap has a special seal inside to keep moisture and corrosion out. The valve stem core has a
special nickel coating to protect from corrosion.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
CAUTION: The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS
pressures have been established for the tire size equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable system
operation or sensor damage may result when using replacement equipment that is not of the same
size, type, and/or style. After-market wheels can cause sensor damage. Do not use aftermarket tire
sealants or balance beads if your vehicle is equipped with a TPMS, as damage to the sensors may
result.
CAUTION: After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure always reinstall the valve stem cap. This
will prevent moisture and dirt from entering the valve stem, which could damage the Tire Pressure
Monitoring Sensor.
CAUTION: Tire pressure sensor valve stem caps and cores are specially designed for the sensors.
Due to risk of corrosion, do not use a standard valve stem cap or core in a tire pressure sensor in
place of the original equipment style sensor cap and core.
CAUTION: Any time a sensor is to be reinstalled in a wheel, a new seal, nut, cap and valve core
must be installed on the stem to ensure air tight sealing.
NOTE: TPM thresholds have been established for the original tire size equipped on the vehicle.
Use original size tires only to maintain system accuracy.
The battery operated tire pressure sensor is both a transmitter and a receiver. The TPM sensor can
be forced to transmit if using a special tool such as a TPM-RKE Analyzer, or from a transponder.
The TPM-RKE Analyzer has the ability to change the sensor mode and to diagnose a faulty TPM
sensor. Using a TPM-RKE Analyzer can take up to a minute to force a transmission from a sensor.
The High Pressure TPM sensor can be in one of the following modes:
Sleep Mode - A new TPM sensor will be in this mode. If placed on the vehicle as a road tire, the
TPM sensor will transmit once every 20 seconds when the vehicle is driven at speeds over 15 mph
(24 km/h). If the vehicle is not moving, the sensor will only transmit on a pressure change greater
then 2 psi (13.8 kPA). Driving the vehicle continuously at speeds over 15 mph (24 km/h) for more
then 4 minutes will change the sensor state into 30 BLOCK MODE. The TPM sensor will not return
to SLEEP MODE. Now, if the vehicle has been stopped for 20 minutes, the TPM sensor state will
change to PARK MODE.
- Park Mode - This is the correct mode when the vehicle is not moving. The sensor will transmit
once every 13 hours to update the WCM, or will transmit on a 2 psi (13.8 kPA) delta change. The
sensors will internally take a measurement of the tire pressure every minute to determine a change
in tire pressure.
- 30 Block Mode - If the vehicle has not been moving for more then 20 minutes, or if the sensor's
mode was forced to Park Mode using a TPM-RKE Analyzer, the sensor's operating mode will
transition from PARK MODE to 30 BLOCK MODE once the vehicle is driven over 15 mph. In this
mode, the sensor will transmit once every 15 seconds when the vehicle is driven at speeds over 15
mph (24 km/h) for the first 30 transmissions. After 8 minutes of continuous driving above 15 mph
(24 km/h), the TPM sensor will change to DRIVE MODE.
Drive Mode - In this mode, the sensor will transmit once every minute when the vehicle is driven at
speeds over 15 mph (24 km/h). At any time that the vehicle speed drops below 15mph, the sensor
will not transmit. The sensor mode will still be in drive mode when the sensor reaches speeds over
15 mph (24 km/h). If the vehicle has been stationary for more then 20 minutes, the TPM sensor will
change to PARK MODE.
Each sensor's (transmitter) broadcast is uniquely coded so that the wireless control module (WCM)
can monitor the state of each of the sensors on the four rotating road wheels. The WCM can
automatically learn and store the sensor's ID while driving "within 10 minutes continuously above
15 m.p.h. (24 Km/h)" after a sensor has been replaced. The vehicle must be stationary for more
then 20 minutes in order to initiate the learning sequence.
The sensor IDs can also be programmed using the TPM-RKE Analyzer Tool. Scan each TPM
sensor at each road wheel, and store each Sensor ID in the correct location. (LEFT FRONT, LEFT
REAR, RIGHT FRONT, and RIGHT REAR) Connect the TPM-RKE Analyzer Tool to the Scan Tool.
Then follow the programming steps outlined in the diagnostic Scan Tool for "Program Tire Pressure
Sensor ID w/ TPM Tool" under "MISC" for the "WCM/WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE".

Tire Pressure Sensor: Testing and Inspection
TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR
NOTE: Tire pressure may increase from 2 to 6 psi (14 to 41 kPa) during normal driving conditions.
Do NOT reduce this normal pressure build up.
NOTE: Tire pressure will vary with temperature by about 1 psi (6.9 kPa) for every 12 F (6.5 C). This
means that when the outside temperature decreases, the tire pressure will also decrease. Tire
pressure should always be set based on cold inflation tire pressure.
When diagnosing a tire pressure issue, always check air pressure in the tires first with a known
accurate air gauge. Adjust air pressure as necessary to that listed on the Tire Inflation Pressure
Label (Placard) provided with the vehicle (usually applied to the driver's side B-pillar). After
adjusting air pressure in a tire on the vehicle, allow approximately two minutes for the message or
indicator lamp to go out.
Check the tire pressure indicator lamp in the instrument cluster. If the lamp is illuminating
continuously, inspect all the tires for leaks. A water "dunk tank" or other water test may be used to
check for leaks around the sensor as long as any water at the valve core is removed once the
procedure is completed. The water can be easily expelled from the core area by pushing in on the
core for several seconds, allowing escaping air to drive out any moisture. Reinflate the tire as
necessary. Always make sure the original valve stem cap is securely installed to keep moisture out
of the sensor. If the gauge-read pressure in the tires does not indicate a tire pressure issue, refer to
the appropriate diagnostic information.
If the indicator lamp is flashing on/off for 75 seconds and then remains on solid, a system fault was
detected. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Service and Repair Removal
REMOVAL
1. Raise and support vehicle. 2. Remove the tire and wheel assembly. See: Service and
Repair/Removal and Replacement
CAUTION: The cap used on this valve stem contains an O-ring seal to prevent contamination and
moisture from entering the valve stem. Retain this valve stem cap for reuse. Do not substitute a
regular valve stem cap in its place.
CAUTION: The valve stem used on this vehicle is made of aluminum and the core is nickel plated
brass. The original valve stem core must be reinstalled and not substituted with a valve stem core
made of a different material. This is required to prevent corrosion in the valve stem caused by the
different metals.
3. Let the air out of the tire. 4. Remove the nut (3). 5. Push the sensor into the tire (1) (so the
sensor is loose inside the tire). 6. Remove the tire from the rim. 7. Retrieve the sensor (1) from the
tire.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Service and Repair Installation
INSTALLATION
NOTE: Before reinstalling an existing tire pressure sensor (6), replace valve cap (2), nut (3), valve
core and sensor seal (4) to ensure proper sealing.
NOTE: The notch/flat should be lined up together and facing towards the wheel during installation.
1. Wipe area clean around sensor/valve stem mounting hole in wheel. Make sure surface of wheel
is not damaged.
2. Insert sensor (1) through wheel (2) as shown keeping pressure against rear of metal valve stem
(See Arrow). Potted side of sensor is to be
positioned toward wheel. Damage to the sensor may occur if the sensor is installed incorrectly.
NOTE: A flat on the seal seat is used to key the seat to the sensor housing. The notch/flat should
be lined up together and facing towards the wheel during installation.
3. Install sensor nut (3) and hand tighten.
NOTE: Before tightening sensor nut, push downward on sensor housing (2) in an attempt to make
it flush with interior contour of wheel (1).
4. While holding sensor in position, tighten sensor nut to 6 Nm (53 in. lbs.).
CAUTION: Over-tightening the sensor to as much as 10 Nm (88 in. lbs.) may result in sensor
separation from the valve stem. Under this condition, the sensor may still function, however, the
condition should be corrected immediately.
5. Mount tire on wheel following tire changer manufacturer's instructions, paying special attention to
the following to avoid damaging tire pressure
sensor: a.

Rotating Wheel Tire Changers- Once the wheel is mounted to the changer, position the sensor
valve stem (2) approximately 180° from the head of the changer (located at 1) in a clockwise
direction before rotating the wheel (also in a clockwise direction) to mount the tire. Use this
procedure on both the upper and lower tire beads.
b.
Rotating Tool Tire Changers - Position the wheel on the changer so that the sensor valve stem (1)
is located approximately 180° clockwise from the installation end of the mounting/dismounting tool
(2) once the tool is mounted for tire installation. Make sure the sensor is clear of the lower bead
breaker area (3) to avoid damaging the sensor when the breaker rises. Rotate the tool (2) in a
counterclockwise direction to mount the tire. Use this procedure on both the upper and lower tire
beads.
6. Adjust air pressure to that listed on Tire Inflation Pressure Label (Placard) provided with vehicle
(usually applied to driver's side B-pillar). Make
sure original style valve stem cap is securely installed to keep moisture out of sensor.
7. Install tire and wheel assembly on vehicle. See: Service and Repair/Removal and Replacement
8. Lower vehicle. 9. If the vehicle has been stationary for more then 20 minutes, drive the vehicle
for a minimum of 10 minutes while maintaining a continuous speed
above 15 mph (24 km/h). During this time, the system will learn the new sensor ID. A new sensor
ID can also be programmed directly into the WCM by using a RKE-TPM Analyzer in conjunction
with a Scan Tool. Once the new sensor ID has been programmed, the RKE-TPM Analyzer can be
used to update the TPMS by activating the sensor.
NOTE: If a sensor cannot be trained, refer to appropriate diagnostic information.

Low Tire Pressure Indicator: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
A Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. However,
on vehicles not equipped with the optional TPM, this indicator is electronically disabled. This
indicator is located in the lower portion of the tachometer dial face in the instrument cluster overlay.
The TPM indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of an icon that represents a cross-section of a
tire with a centered exclamation point in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster overlay. The
dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not
illuminated. An amber Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the
overlay causes the indicator to appear in amber through the translucent outer layer of the overlay
when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the instrument cluster
electronic circuit board.
The TPM indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Low Tire Pressure Indicator: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator of the status
of the TPM system. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument cluster circuit
board based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received by the cluster from the
Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The TPM indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument cluster
logic circuit, and that logic will only allow this indicator to operate when the instrument cluster
receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the
LED will always be OFF when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED
only illuminates when it is provide a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The
instrument cluster will turn ON the TPM indicator for the following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, the SKREEM sends an
electronic TPM indicator lamp-ON message to the cluster to illuminate the TPM indicator for about
three seconds as a bulb test.
- TPM Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic TPM indicator
lamp-ON message from the SKREEM, the TPM indicator will be illuminated. The indicator can be
flashed ON and OFF, or illuminated solid, as dictated by the SKREEM message. The indicator
remains illuminated until the cluster receives a lamp-OFF message from the SKREEM or until the
ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Communication Error - If the cluster receives no TPM lamp-ON or lamp-OFF messages from the
SKREEM for six consecutive seconds, the TPM indicator is illuminated by the instrument cluster.
The indicator remains controlled and illuminated by the cluster until a valid lamp-ON or lamp-OFF
message is received from the SKREEM.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the TPM indicator will be
turned ON, then OFF again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of
the LED and the cluster control circuitry.
The SKREEM performs a self-test each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position to
decide whether the TPM system is in good operating condition and whether the tire inflation
pressures are too high or too low. The SKREEM then sends the proper lamp-ON or lamp-OFF
message to the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab
Compartment Node/CCN). If the instrument cluster turns ON the TPM indicator after the bulb test, it
indicates that the inflation pressure of a tire is too low or that a malfunction has occurred and the
TPM system is ineffective.
For proper diagnosis of the TPM system, the SKREEM, the EMIC, the CAN data bus or the
electronic communication related to TPM indicator operation a diagnostic scan tool is required.
Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Tire Pressure Monitor Receiver / Transponder: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
A transponder (2), also known as a trigger module, is located in the front wheel wells (behind the
wheelhouse splash shields) of the vehicle to provide the WCM/SKREEM with the location of the
front tire pressure sensors on the vehicle.

Tire Pressure Monitor Receiver / Transponder: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The Wireless Control Module (WCM), commonly referred to as the Sentry Key Remote Entry
Module (SKREEM), uses transponders (trigger modules) located in the front wheel wells on the
vehicle to provide it with the location of the front tire pressure sensors on the vehicle. Like the base
system, the WCM receives RF signals from all four rotating wheel speed sensors. When the WCM
needs to know which sensor is located at a particular location on the vehicle, it directs the
transponder at that location to send out a low frequency signal to excite the nearby sensor. The
WCM then receives that excited signal and knows where that sensor is located. This auto-locating
process only happens in the first 10 minutes of any WCM cycle while traveling at speeds above 20
mph (32 km/h) (Each WCM cycle ends when the vehicle has been shut off for a time period of
approximately 20 minutes or longer). If the TPMS fails to localize, the TPM indicator lamp will flash
on/off for 75 seconds, and remain on solid.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Service Precautions
CAUTION
CAUTION: The use of tire sealants is not recommended for vehicles equipped with the Tire
Pressure Monitoring system. Tire sealants may clog tire pressure sensors.
CAUTION: Tire pressure sensor valve stem caps and cores are specially designed for the sensors.
Due to risk of corrosion, do not use a standard valve stem cap or core in a tire pressure sensor in
place of the original equipment style sensor cap and core.
CAUTION: It is not recommended to install a tire pressure sensor in an aftermarket wheel. Use tire
pressure sensors in original style factory wheels only.
CAUTION: Any time a sensor is to be reinstalled in a wheel, a new seal, cap and valve core must
be installed on the stem to ensure air tight sealing.
NOTE: TPM thresholds have been established for the original tire size equipped on the vehicle.
Use original size tires only to maintain system accuracy.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
On vehicles equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring System, one tire pressure sensor (6) is
mounted to each wheel in place of the traditional tire valve stem. Each sensor has an internal
battery that lasts up to 10 years. The battery is not serviceable. At the time of battery failure, the
sensor (6) must be replaced. The TPM system operates on a 315 MHz radio frequency. The 315
MHz sensors can be easily identified by a GREEN sensor body, with (an triangle insignia) (1). The
433 MHz sensors can be identified by a grey sensor body with an oval insignia. For car
applications, there is a 315 MHz TPM sensor with a Black sensor body with an oval insignia.
NOTE: This vehicle uses the 315 MHz TPM sensor with the GREEN sensor body. Although 315
MHz and 433 MHz sensors are identical in size and shape, they are not interchangeable. Always
make sure the correct color sensor is being used. A RKE-TPM Analyzer can be used to determine
the sensor's frequency without having to dismount the tire.
The TPM sensors are designed for original style factory wheels. It is not recommended to install a
tire pressure sensor in an aftermarket wheel. (This could cause sealing and system performance
issues.)
The serviceable components of the tire pressure sensor are:
- Sensor-To-Wheel Seal (4)
- Valve Stem Cap (2)
- Valve Stem Core
- Valve Stem Nut (3)
The valve stem caps and cores used are specifically designed for the tire pressure monitoring
sensors. Although similar to standard valve stem caps and cores, they are different. The valve
stem cap has a special seal inside to keep moisture and corrosion out. The valve stem core has a
special nickel coating to protect from corrosion.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
CAUTION: The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS
pressures have been established for the tire size equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable system
operation or sensor damage may result when using replacement equipment that is not of the same
size, type, and/or style. After-market wheels can cause sensor damage. Do not use aftermarket tire
sealants or balance beads if your vehicle is equipped with a TPMS, as damage to the sensors may
result.
CAUTION: After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure always reinstall the valve stem cap. This
will prevent moisture and dirt from entering the valve stem, which could damage the Tire Pressure
Monitoring Sensor.
CAUTION: Tire pressure sensor valve stem caps and cores are specially designed for the sensors.
Due to risk of corrosion, do not use a standard valve stem cap or core in a tire pressure sensor in
place of the original equipment style sensor cap and core.
CAUTION: Any time a sensor is to be reinstalled in a wheel, a new seal, nut, cap and valve core
must be installed on the stem to ensure air tight sealing.
NOTE: TPM thresholds have been established for the original tire size equipped on the vehicle.
Use original size tires only to maintain system accuracy.
The battery operated tire pressure sensor is both a transmitter and a receiver. The TPM sensor can
be forced to transmit if using a special tool such as a TPM-RKE Analyzer, or from a transponder.
The TPM-RKE Analyzer has the ability to change the sensor mode and to diagnose a faulty TPM
sensor. Using a TPM-RKE Analyzer can take up to a minute to force a transmission from a sensor.
The High Pressure TPM sensor can be in one of the following modes:
Sleep Mode - A new TPM sensor will be in this mode. If placed on the vehicle as a road tire, the
TPM sensor will transmit once every 20 seconds when the vehicle is driven at speeds over 15 mph
(24 km/h). If the vehicle is not moving, the sensor will only transmit on a pressure change greater
then 2 psi (13.8 kPA). Driving the vehicle continuously at speeds over 15 mph (24 km/h) for more
then 4 minutes will change the sensor state into 30 BLOCK MODE. The TPM sensor will not return
to SLEEP MODE. Now, if the vehicle has been stopped for 20 minutes, the TPM sensor state will
change to PARK MODE.
- Park Mode - This is the correct mode when the vehicle is not moving. The sensor will transmit
once every 13 hours to update the WCM, or will transmit on a 2 psi (13.8 kPA) delta change. The
sensors will internally take a measurement of the tire pressure every minute to determine a change
in tire pressure.
- 30 Block Mode - If the vehicle has not been moving for more then 20 minutes, or if the sensor's
mode was forced to Park Mode using a TPM-RKE Analyzer, the sensor's operating mode will
transition from PARK MODE to 30 BLOCK MODE once the vehicle is driven over 15 mph. In this
mode, the sensor will transmit once every 15 seconds when the vehicle is driven at speeds over 15
mph (24 km/h) for the first 30 transmissions. After 8 minutes of continuous driving above 15 mph
(24 km/h), the TPM sensor will change to DRIVE MODE.
Drive Mode - In this mode, the sensor will transmit once every minute when the vehicle is driven at
speeds over 15 mph (24 km/h). At any time that the vehicle speed drops below 15mph, the sensor
will not transmit. The sensor mode will still be in drive mode when the sensor reaches speeds over
15 mph (24 km/h). If the vehicle has been stationary for more then 20 minutes, the TPM sensor will
change to PARK MODE.
Each sensor's (transmitter) broadcast is uniquely coded so that the wireless control module (WCM)
can monitor the state of each of the sensors on the four rotating road wheels. The WCM can
automatically learn and store the sensor's ID while driving "within 10 minutes continuously above
15 m.p.h. (24 Km/h)" after a sensor has been replaced. The vehicle must be stationary for more
then 20 minutes in order to initiate the learning sequence.
The sensor IDs can also be programmed using the TPM-RKE Analyzer Tool. Scan each TPM
sensor at each road wheel, and store each Sensor ID in the correct location. (LEFT FRONT, LEFT
REAR, RIGHT FRONT, and RIGHT REAR) Connect the TPM-RKE Analyzer Tool to the Scan Tool.
Then follow the programming steps outlined in the diagnostic Scan Tool for "Program Tire Pressure
Sensor ID w/ TPM Tool" under "MISC" for the "WCM/WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE".

Tire Pressure Sensor: Testing and Inspection
TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR
NOTE: Tire pressure may increase from 2 to 6 psi (14 to 41 kPa) during normal driving conditions.
Do NOT reduce this normal pressure build up.
NOTE: Tire pressure will vary with temperature by about 1 psi (6.9 kPa) for every 12 F (6.5 C). This
means that when the outside temperature decreases, the tire pressure will also decrease. Tire
pressure should always be set based on cold inflation tire pressure.
When diagnosing a tire pressure issue, always check air pressure in the tires first with a known
accurate air gauge. Adjust air pressure as necessary to that listed on the Tire Inflation Pressure
Label (Placard) provided with the vehicle (usually applied to the driver's side B-pillar). After
adjusting air pressure in a tire on the vehicle, allow approximately two minutes for the message or
indicator lamp to go out.
Check the tire pressure indicator lamp in the instrument cluster. If the lamp is illuminating
continuously, inspect all the tires for leaks. A water "dunk tank" or other water test may be used to
check for leaks around the sensor as long as any water at the valve core is removed once the
procedure is completed. The water can be easily expelled from the core area by pushing in on the
core for several seconds, allowing escaping air to drive out any moisture. Reinflate the tire as
necessary. Always make sure the original valve stem cap is securely installed to keep moisture out
of the sensor. If the gauge-read pressure in the tires does not indicate a tire pressure issue, refer to
the appropriate diagnostic information.
If the indicator lamp is flashing on/off for 75 seconds and then remains on solid, a system fault was
detected. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

REMOVAL
1. Raise and support vehicle. 2. Remove the tire and wheel assembly. See: Service and
Repair/Removal and Replacement
CAUTION: The cap used on this valve stem contains an O-ring seal to prevent contamination and
moisture from entering the valve stem. Retain this valve stem cap for reuse. Do not substitute a
regular valve stem cap in its place.
CAUTION: The valve stem used on this vehicle is made of aluminum and the core is nickel plated
brass. The original valve stem core must be reinstalled and not substituted with a valve stem core
made of a different material. This is required to prevent corrosion in the valve stem caused by the
different metals.
3. Let the air out of the tire. 4. Remove the nut (3). 5. Push the sensor into the tire (1) (so the
sensor is loose inside the tire). 6. Remove the tire from the rim. 7. Retrieve the sensor (1) from the

Tire Pressure Sensor: Service and Repair Installation
INSTALLATION
NOTE: Before reinstalling an existing tire pressure sensor (6), replace valve cap (2), nut (3), valve
core and sensor seal (4) to ensure proper sealing.
NOTE: The notch/flat should be lined up together and facing towards the wheel during installation.
1. Wipe area clean around sensor/valve stem mounting hole in wheel. Make sure surface of wheel
is not damaged.
2. Insert sensor (1) through wheel (2) as shown keeping pressure against rear of metal valve stem
(See Arrow). Potted side of sensor is to be
positioned toward wheel. Damage to the sensor may occur if the sensor is installed incorrectly.
NOTE: A flat on the seal seat is used to key the seat to the sensor housing. The notch/flat should
be lined up together and facing towards the wheel during installation.
3. Install sensor nut (3) and hand tighten.
NOTE: Before tightening sensor nut, push downward on sensor housing (2) in an attempt to make
it flush with interior contour of wheel (1).
4. While holding sensor in position, tighten sensor nut to 6 Nm (53 in. lbs.).
CAUTION: Over-tightening the sensor to as much as 10 Nm (88 in. lbs.) may result in sensor
separation from the valve stem. Under this condition, the sensor may still function, however, the
condition should be corrected immediately.
5. Mount tire on wheel following tire changer manufacturer's instructions, paying special attention to
the following to avoid damaging tire pressure
sensor: a.

Sensor > Component Information > Service and Repair > Removal > Page 11638
Rotating Wheel Tire Changers- Once the wheel is mounted to the changer, position the sensor
valve stem (2) approximately 180° from the head of the changer (located at 1) in a clockwise
direction before rotating the wheel (also in a clockwise direction) to mount the tire. Use this
procedure on both the upper and lower tire beads.
b.
Rotating Tool Tire Changers - Position the wheel on the changer so that the sensor valve stem (1)
is located approximately 180° clockwise from the installation end of the mounting/dismounting tool
(2) once the tool is mounted for tire installation. Make sure the sensor is clear of the lower bead
breaker area (3) to avoid damaging the sensor when the breaker rises. Rotate the tool (2) in a
counterclockwise direction to mount the tire. Use this procedure on both the upper and lower tire
beads.
6. Adjust air pressure to that listed on Tire Inflation Pressure Label (Placard) provided with vehicle
(usually applied to driver's side B-pillar). Make
sure original style valve stem cap is securely installed to keep moisture out of sensor.
7. Install tire and wheel assembly on vehicle. See: Service and Repair/Removal and Replacement
8. Lower vehicle. 9. If the vehicle has been stationary for more then 20 minutes, drive the vehicle
for a minimum of 10 minutes while maintaining a continuous speed
above 15 mph (24 km/h). During this time, the system will learn the new sensor ID. A new sensor
ID can also be programmed directly into the WCM by using a RKE-TPM Analyzer in conjunction
with a Scan Tool. Once the new sensor ID has been programmed, the RKE-TPM Analyzer can be

Tires: Description and Operation Tires - Description
Tires
TIRES
Tires are designed and engineered for each specific vehicle. They provide the best overall
performance for normal operation. The ride and handling characteristics match the vehicle's
requirements. With proper care they will give excellent reliability, traction, skid resistance, and tread
life.
Driving habits have more effect on tire life than any other factor. Careful drivers will obtain in most
cases, much greater mileage than severe use or careless drivers. A few of the driving habits which
will shorten the life of any tire are:
- Rapid acceleration
- Severe brake applications
- High speed driving
- Excessive speeds on turns
- Striking curbs and other obstacles
Radial-ply tires are more prone to irregular tread wear. It is important to follow the tire rotation
interval See: Service and Repair/Procedures . This will help to achieve a greater tread life.
TIRE IDENTIFICATION
Tire type, size, aspect ratio and speed rating are encoded in the letters and numbers imprinted on
the side wall of the tire. Refer to the chart to decipher the tire identification code.
Performance tires have a speed rating letter after the aspect ratio number. The speed rating is not
always printed on the tire sidewall. These ratings are:
- Q up to 99 mph
- S up to 112 mph
- T up to 118 mph
- U up to 124 mph
- H up to 130 mph
V up to 149 mph
W (consult the tire manufacturer for the specific speed rating)
- Z more than 149 mph (consult the tire manufacturer for the specific speed rating)
An All Season type tire will have either M + S, M & S or M-S (indicating mud and snow traction)
imprinted on the side wall.
TIRE CHAINS
Tire snow chains may be used on certain models.
Radial - Ply Tires
RADIAL - PLY TIRES
Radial-ply tires improve handling, tread life and ride quality, and decrease rolling resistance.
Dodge Ram 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (Truck V8-4.7L (2008))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Tires > Component Information > Description
and Operation > Spare Tire > Page 11653
Radial-ply tires must always be used in sets of four. Under no circumstances should they be used
on the front only. They may be mixed with temporary spare tires when necessary. A maximum
speed of 80 KMH (50 MPH) is recommended while a temporary spare is in use.
Radial-ply tires have the same load-carrying capacity as other types of tires of the same size. They
also use the same recommended inflation pressures.
The use of oversized tires, either in the front or rear of the vehicle, can cause vehicle drive train
failure. This could also cause inaccurate wheel speed signals when the vehicle is equipped with
Anti-Lock Brakes.
The use of tires from different manufactures on the same vehicle is NOT recommended. The
proper tire pressure should be maintained on all four tires.
Tire Pressure For High Speeds
TIRE PRESSURE FOR HIGH SPEEDS
For proper tire pressure specification refer to the Owners Manual.
Tire Inflation Pressures
TIRE INFLATION PRESSURES
WARNING: Over or under inflated tires can affect vehicle handling and tread wear. This may cause
the tire to fail suddenly, resulting in loss of vehicle control.
Under inflation will cause rapid shoulder wear (1), tire flexing, and possible tire failure.
Dodge Ram 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (Truck V8-4.7L (2008))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Wheels and Tires > Tires > Component Information > Description
and Operation > Spare Tire > Page 11654
Over inflation will cause rapid center wear (1) reduction in the tire's ability to cushion shocks.
Improper inflation can cause:
- Uneven wear patterns
- Reduced tread life
- Reduced fuel economy
- Unsatisfactory ride
- Vehicle drift
For proper tire pressure specification refer to the tire label placard usually located on the drivers
door latch pillar.

SPARE / TEMPORARY TIRE
The temporary spare tire is designed for emergency use only. The original tire should be repaired
or replaced at the first opportunity, then reinstalled. Do not exceed speeds of 80 KMH (50 MPH).
when using the temporary spare tire.
Replacement Tires
REPLACEMENT TIRES
The original equipment tires provide a proper balance of many characteristics such as:
- Ride
- Noise
- Handling
- Durability
- Tread life
- Traction
- Rolling resistance
- Speed capability
It is recommended that tires equivalent to the original equipment tires be used when replacement is
needed.
Failure to use equivalent replacement tires may adversely affect the safety and handling of the
vehicle.
The use of oversize tires may cause interference with vehicle components. Under extremes of
suspension and steering travel, interference with vehicle components may cause tire damage.
WARNING: Failure to equip the vehicle with tires having adequate speed capability can result in
sudden tire failure.

Tires: Testing and Inspection Tread Wear Indicators
TREAD WEAR INDICATORS
Tread wear indicators (3) are molded into the bottom of the tread grooves. When tread depth is 1.6
mm (1/16 in.), the tread wear indicators (3) will appear as a 13 mm (1/2 in.) band.
Tire replacement is necessary when indicators appear in two or more grooves or if localized
balding occurs.

Tires: Testing and Inspection Tire Wear Patterns
TIRE WEAR PATTERNS
Under inflation will cause wear on the shoulders of tire. Over inflation will cause wear at the center
of tire.
Excessive camber causes the tire to run at an angle to the road. One side of tread is then worn
more than the other.
Excessive toe-in or toe-out causes wear on the tread edges and a feathered effect across the
tread.

Tires: Testing and Inspection Tire Noise Or Vibration
TIRE NOISE OR VIBRATION
Radial-ply tires are sensitive to force impulses caused by improper mounting, vibration, wheel
defects, or possibly tire imbalance.
To find out if tires are causing the noise or vibration, drive the vehicle over a smooth road at
varying speeds. Note the noise level during acceleration and deceleration. The engine, differential
and exhaust noises will change as speed varies, while the tire noise will usually remain constant.

Tires: Removal and Replacement
TIRE REPAIR AREA
For proper repairing, a radial tire must be removed from the wheel. Repairs should only be made if
the defect, or puncture, is in the tread area (1). The tire should be replaced if the puncture is
located in the sidewall.
Deflate tire completely before removing the tire from the wheel. Use lubrication such as a mild soap
solution when dismounting or mounting tire. Use tools free of burrs or sharp edges which could
damage the tire or wheel rim.
Before mounting tire on wheel, make sure all rust is removed from the rim bead and repaint if
necessary.
Install wheel on vehicle, and tighten to proper torque specification.

NOTE:
This information applies to any model equipped with Chrome Clad Wheels.
DISCUSSION:
Models equipped with Chrome Clad wheels require specific piloting on balance equipment to
properly center the wheel and prevent damage to the chrome clad surface. The chrome cladding is
not removable or replaceable and has cladding tabs that extend into the wheel bore. Traditional
high-taper cones will come into contact with the cladding tabs rather than properly seat on the hub
bore chamfer. Many modern aluminum wheel designs cannot be mounted with traditional cones.
Direct-Fit Collets should be used to properly mount clad wheels on balance equipment (Fig 1).
SPECIAL TOOLS/EQUIPMENT REQUIRED:
NOTE:
This kit includes the adapters for all Dodge, Chrysler & Jeep models with clad wheels. Individual
adapters for specific wheel sizes can be ordered separately. To order a kit or individual adapters,
contact Pentastar Service Equipment @ 1-800-223-5623.

WHEEL DESIGN
The rim size is on the vehicle safety certification label located on the drivers door shut face.
Original equipment wheels/rims are designed for operation up to the specified maximum vehicle
capacity.
All models use stamped steel, cast aluminum or forged aluminum wheels. Every wheel has raised
sections between the rim flanges (1) and rim drop well (3) called safety humps.
Initial inflation of the tire forces the bead over these raised sections. In case of rapid loss of air
pressure, the raised sections help hold the tire on the wheel.
The wheel studs and nuts are designed for specific applications. All aluminum and some steel
wheels have wheel stud nuts with an enlarged nose. This enlarged nose is necessary to ensure
proper retention of the wheels. Do not use replacement studs or nuts with a different design or
lesser quality.

Wheels: Description and Operation Wheels
WHEELS
Original equipment wheels are designed for the specified Maximum Vehicle Capacity.
All models use steel or aluminum drop center wheels.
Aluminum wheels require special balance weights and alignment equipment.
1. On vehicles equipped with dual rear wheels, the rim is an eight stud hole pattern wheel. The
wheels have a flat mounting surface (1).
2. The slots (1) in the wheel must be aligned to provide access to the valve stem.

Wheels: Testing and Inspection
WHEEL INSPECTION
Inspect wheels for:
- Excessive run out
- Dents or cracks
- Damaged wheel lug nut holes
- Air Leaks from any area or surface of the rim
NOTE: Do not attempt to repair a wheel by hammering, heating or welding.
If a wheel is damaged an original equipment replacement wheel should be used. When obtaining
replacement wheels, they should be equivalent in load carrying capacity. The diameter, width,
offset, pilot hole and bolt circle of the wheel should be the same as the original wheel.
WARNING: Failure to use equivalent replacement wheels may adversely affect the safety and
handling of the vehicle. Used wheels are not recommended. The service history of the wheel may
have included severe treatment or very high mileage. The rim could fail without warning.
WARNING: Daimlerchrysler corporation does not recommend that customers use "reconditioned"
wheels (wheels that have been damaged and repaired) because they can result in a sudden
catastrophic wheel failure which could cause loss of control and result in injury or death.
For Clarification:
- Cosmetic refinishing for the purpose of repairing a superficial flaw is an acceptable procedure
providing it is limited to paint or clear coat only, the wheel is not modified in any way, and there is
no exposure to paint curing heat over 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Damaged wheels are those which have been bent, broken, cracked or sustained some other
physical damage which may have compromised the wheel structure
- Repaired indicates that the wheel has been modified through bending, welding, heating,
straightening, or material removal to rectify damage.
- Re-plating of chrome plated wheels is not an acceptable procedure nor is chrome plating of
original equipment painted or polished wheels, as this may alter mechanical properties and affect
fatigue life.

Accumulator HVAC: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
To protect the A/C compressor from any liquid slugging, an A/C accumulator (5) is used in this A/C
system to retain any refrigerant that may exit from the evaporator in a liquid state.
The A/C accumulator is mounted in the engine compartment between the evaporator outlet tube (2)
and the A/C suction line (6). An integral mounting bracket (4) is used to secure the accumulator to
the dash panel (3). The A/C low side service port (1) is mounted to the top of the A/C accumulator.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Accumulator HVAC > Component Information > Description
and Operation > Description > Page 11705
Accumulator HVAC: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
Refrigerant enters the A/C accumulator (1) mostly as a low pressure vapor through the inlet tube
(2). Any liquid, oil-laden refrigerant falls to the bottom of the canister, which acts as a separator. A
desiccant bag (3) is mounted inside the accumulator canister to absorb any moisture which may
have entered and become trapped within the refrigerant system. A filter (4) is also mounted inside
the canister to trap any foreign material that may have entered the refrigerant system during
assembly. The low pressure vapor exits the A/C accumulator through the outlet tube (5). On this
model, the low side service port (6) is located at the top of the A/C accumulator.
NOTE: Replacement of the refrigerant line O-ring seals and gaskets is required anytime a
refrigerant line is opened. Failure to replace the rubber O-ring seals and metal gaskets could result
in a refrigerant system leak.
The A/C accumulator has no serviceable parts except for the rubber O-ring seals, low side service
port valve, cap and secondary retaining clips. The O-ring seals used on the connections are made
from a special type of rubber not affected by R-134a refrigerant. The O-ring seals must be replaced
whenever the A/C accumulator is removed and installed.
The A/C accumulator cannot be repaired and must be replaced if found to be leaking or damaged,
or if an internal failure of the A/C compressor has occurred.

Air Door Actuator / Motor: Description and Operation Blend Door Actuator
Description
DESCRIPTION
The blend door actuators are reversible, 12-volt direct current (DC), servo motors. Models with the
single zone heating-A/C system have a single blend-air door, which is controlled by a single blend
door actuator. Models with the dual zone system have two blend-air doors, which are controlled by
two blend door actuators.
The blend door actuator (1) for the single zone heating-A/C system is located near the center of the
HVAC housing (2), close to the dash panel.
For the dual zone heating-A/C system, the same blend door actuator used for the single zone
system becomes the driver side blend door actuator, which is mechanically connected to only the
driver side blend-air door. A second separate blend door actuator (3) located on the top of the
HVAC housing is mechanically connected to the passenger side blend-air door.
All actuators (1) are interchangeable with each other. Each actuator is contained within an identical
black molded plastic housing with an integral wire connector receptacle (2). Each actuator also has
an identical output shaft with splines (3) that connect it to its respective door linkage and three
integral mounting tabs (4) that allow the actuator to be secured to the HVAC housing. The blend
door actuators do not require mechanical indexing to the blend-air doors, as they are electronically
calibrated by the A/C-heater control.

The blend door actuators are connected to the A/C-heater control through the vehicle electrical
system by a dedicated two-wire lead and connector of the HVAC wire harness. The blend door
actuator(s) can move the blend-air door(s) in two directions. When the A/C-heater control pulls the
voltage on one side of the motor connection high and the other connection low, the blend-air door
will move in one direction. When the A/C-heater control reverses the polarity of the voltage to the
motor, the blend-air door moves in the opposite direction.
When the A/C-heater control makes the voltage to both connections high or both connections low,
the blend-air door stops and will not move. The A/C-heater control uses a pulse-count positioning
system to monitor the operation and relative position of the blend door actuator(s) and the blend-air
door(s). The A/C-heater control learns the blend-air door stop positions during the calibration
procedure and will store a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) for any problems it detects in the blend
door actuator circuits.
The blend door actuators are diagnosed using a scan tool.
The blend door actuators cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if found inoperative
or damaged.

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
All switches, components, and modules are shown in the at rest position with the doors closed and
the key removed from the ignition.
Components are shown two ways. A solid line around a component indicates that the component is
complete. A dashed line around the component indicates that the component is being shown is not
complete. Incomplete components have a reference number to indicate the page where the
component is shown complete.
It is important to realize that no attempt is made on the diagrams to represent components and
wiring as they appear on the vehicle. For example, a short piece of wire is treated the same as a
long one. In addition, switches and other components are shown as simply as possible, with regard
to function only.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) SENSITIVE DEVICES
All ESD sensitive components are solid state and a symbol is used to indicate this. When handling
any component with this symbol, comply with the following procedures to reduce the possibility of
electrostatic charge build up on the body and inadvertent discharge into the component. If it is not
known whether the part is ESD sensitive, assume that it is.
1. Always touch a known good ground before handling the part. This should be repeated while
handling the part and more frequently after sliding
across a seat, sitting down from a standing position, or walking a distance.
2. Avoid touching electrical terminals of the part, unless instructed to do so by a written procedure.
3. When using a voltmeter, be sure to connect the ground lead first. 4. Do not remove the part from
it's protective packing until it is time to install the part. 5. Before removing the part from it's
package, ground the package to a known good ground on the vehicle.

Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- Ohmmeter - Used to check the resistance between two points of a circuit. Low or no resistance in
a circuit means good continuity.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking resistance in these circuits use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
In addition, make sure the power is disconnected from the circuit. Circuits that are powered up by
the vehicle's electrical system can cause damage to the equipment and provide false readings.
Dodge Ram 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (Truck V8-4.7L (2008))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Blower Motor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 11808
- Probing Tools - These tools are used for probing terminals in connectors. Select the proper size
tool from Special Tool Package 6807, and insert the probing end (2) into the terminal being tested.
Use the other end of the tool (1) to insert the meter probe.
INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent electrical problems are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. It is also
possible for a sticking component or relay to cause a problem. Before condemning a component or
wiring assembly, check the following items.
- Connectors are fully seated
- Spread terminals, or terminal push out
- Terminals in the wiring assembly are fully seated into the connector/component and locked into
position
- Dirt or corrosion on the terminals. Any amount of corrosion or dirt could cause an intermittent
problem
- Damaged connector/component casing exposing the item to dirt or moisture
- Wire insulation that has rubbed through causing a short to ground
- Some or all of the wiring strands broken inside of the insulation
- Wiring broken inside of the insulation
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are six steps which can aid in the procedure. The
steps are listed and explained below. Always check for non-factory items added to the vehicle
before doing any diagnosis. If the vehicle is equipped with these items, disconnect them to verify
these add-on items are not the cause of the problem.
1. Verify the problem. 2. Verify any related symptoms. Do this by performing operational checks on
components that are in the same circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams. 3. Analyze the symptoms.
Use the wiring diagrams to determine what the circuit is doing, where the problem most likely is
occurring and where the
diagnosis will continue.
4. Isolate the problem area. 5. Repair the problem area. 6. Verify the proper operation. For this
step, check for proper operation of all items on the repaired circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams.

Blower Motor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The blower motor is used to control the velocity of air moving through the HVAC housing by
spinning the blower wheel within the HVAC air inlet housing at the selected speed.
The blower motor will operate whenever the ignition switch is in the Run position and the blower
motor control is in any position except Off. The blower motor receives battery current through the
totally integrated power module (TIPM) whenever the ignition switch is in the Run position.
Blower motor speed is controlled by regulating the ground path through or around the blower motor
resistor and through the blower motor control located within the A/C-heater control.
The blower motor can be accessed for service from underneath the instrument panel.
NOTE: The blower motor is supplied with a 12V feed from the TIPM, through the blower motor
resistor, whenever the ignition switch is in the RUN position. Due to an open circuit condition within
the blower motor control switch the TIPM is UNABLE to detect an OPEN circuit for the blower
motor.
The blower motor control system is diagnosed using a scan tool.
The blower motor and blower motor wheel are factory balanced as an assembly and cannot be
adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if found inoperative or damaged.

Blower Motor Resistor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The blower motor resistor is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated wire
lead and connector of the HVAC wire harness. The blower motor resistor has multiple resistor
wires, each of which will reduce the current flow through the blower motor to change the blower
motor speed.
The blower motor control for the heating-A/C system directs the ground path for the blower motor
through the correct resistor wire to obtain the selected speed. With the blower motor control in the
lowest speed position, the ground path for the blower motor is applied through all of the resistor
wires. Each higher speed selected with the blower motor control applies the blower motor ground
path through fewer of the resistor wires, increasing the blower motor speed.
The blower motor resistor cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if found inoperative
or damaged.

Compressor Clutch: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
NOTE: Denso 10S17 A/C clutch assembly shown. Visteon HS-18 compressor similar.
The A/C compressor clutch assembly consists of a stationary electromagnetic field coil (4), bearing
and pulley assembly (3), shims (7) and a clutch plate (2) that is splined to the compressor shaft and
secured by a bolt (1). These components provide the means to engage and disengage the A/C
compressor from the engine accessory drive belt.
The A/C clutch bearing and pulley assembly on both A/C compressors are retained to the front of
the compressor with a snap ring (6). The A/C clutch field coil on the Denso 10S17 A/C compressor
is also retained to the front of the compressor using a snap ring (5). The field coil on the Visteon
HS-18 compressor is pressed onto the front of the compressor.

Compressor Clutch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The A/C compressor clutch components provide the means to engage and disengage the A/C
compressor from the engine accessory drive belt. When the electromagnetic A/C clutch field coil is
energized, it magnetically draws the clutch plate into contact with the clutch pulley and drives the
compressor shaft. When the coil is not energized, the pulley freewheels on the clutch hub bearing,
which is part of the pulley assembly.
A/C compressor clutch engagement is controlled by the powertrain control module (PCM) or the
engine control module (ECM), depending on engine application. When the A/C-heater control is set
to any A/C position, it sends a request signal on the CAN-B bus to the totally integrated power
module (TIPM), which then transfers the request on the CAN-C Bus to the PCM/ECM, which
determines if operating conditions are correct for A/C clutch engagement. When all operating
conditions have been met, the PCM/ECM sends a signal on a dedicated hard-wired circuit back to
the totally integrated power module (TIPM) to energize the internal A/C clutch high side driver.
When energized, the A/C clutch high side driver provides battery current to the A/C clutch field coil.
The A/C clutch control system is diagnosed using a scan tool.
The A/C compressor clutch components cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if
found inoperative or damaged.

Compressor Clutch: Testing and Inspection
A/C COMPRESSOR CLUTCH COIL
The A/C compressor clutch coil electrical circuit is controlled by the powertrain control module
(PCM) or the engine control module (ECM) (depending on engine application) through the totally
integrated power module (TIPM) (refer to the appropriate wiring information for complete HVAC
wiring diagrams). Begin testing of a suspected compressor clutch coil problem by performing the
preliminary checks.
PRELIMINARY CHECKS
1. Using a scan tool, check for diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) in the A/C-heater control, TIPM,
PCM/ECM and if equipped with the 8.3L engine,
the gateway module. If no DTCs are found, go to STEP 2. If any DTCs are found, repair as
required.
2. If the A/C compressor clutch still will not engage, verify the refrigerant charge level See: Testing
and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/Refrigerant System Leaks . If the refrigerant charge level is OK, go to TESTS. If the
refrigerant charge level is not OK, adjust the refrigerant charge as required.
TESTS
3. Verify the battery state of charge See: Starting and Charging/Battery/Testing and
Inspection/Battery . 4. Connect an ammeter (0 to 10 ampere scale selected) in series with the
clutch coil feed terminal. Connect a voltmeter (0 to 20 volt scale selected) to
measure voltage across the battery and the clutch coil.
5. With the A/C-heater control in the A/C mode and the blower motor at low speed, start the engine
and allow it to run at a normal idle speed. 6. The A/C compressor clutch should engage
immediately, and the clutch coil supply voltage should be within two volts of the battery voltage. If
the
coil supply voltage is OK, go to STEP 5. If the coil supply voltage is not within two volts of battery
voltage, test the clutch coil feed circuit for excessive voltage drop and repair as necessary.
7. For the acceptable A/C clutch coil current draw specifications See: Specifications/Mechanical
Specifications/Heating and Air Conditioning
Specifications - A/C System . Specifications apply for a work area temperature of 21° C (70° F). If
voltage is more than 12.5 volts, add electrical loads by turning on electrical accessories until
voltage reads below 12.5 volts. a. If the A/C clutch coil current reading is zero, the coil is open and
must be replaced. b. If the A/C clutch coil current reading is above specifications, the coil is shorted
and must be replaced.

Compressor Clutch: Procedures
A/C Clutch Plate Inspection
A/C CLUTCH PLATE INSPECTION
NOTE: The A/C clutch can be serviced in the vehicle. The refrigerant system can remain
fully-charged during compressor clutch, pulley and bearing assembly, or coil replacement.
Examine the friction surfaces of the pulley and the clutch plate (2) for wear. The pulley and clutch
plate should be replaced if there is excessive wear or scoring.
If the friction surfaces are oily, inspect the shaft and nose area of the A/C compressor (1) for
refrigerant oil. If refrigerant oil is found, the compressor shaft seal is leaking and the A/C
compressor must be replaced.
Check the pulley bearing for roughness or excessive leakage of grease. Replace the pulley and
bearing assembly, if required.
A/C Clutch Break-In
A/C CLUTCH BREAK-IN
After a new A/C compressor clutch has been installed, cycle the compressor clutch approximately
20 times (5 seconds on, then 5 seconds off). During this procedure, set the A/C-heater controls to
the A/C Recirculation Mode, the blower motor in the highest speed position, and the engine speed
at 1500 to 2000 rpm. This procedure (burnishing) will seat the opposing friction surfaces and
provide a higher compressor clutch torque capability.

Condenser HVAC: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The A/C condenser is located in the front of the engine compartment behind the grille. The A/C
condenser is a heat exchanger that allows the high-pressure refrigerant gas being discharged by
the A/C compressor to give up its heat to the air passing over the condenser fins, which causes the
refrigerant to cool and change to a liquid state.
Dodge Ram 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (Truck V8-4.7L (2008))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Condenser HVAC > Component Information > Description and
Operation > Description > Page 11875
Condenser HVAC: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
When air passes through the fins of the A/C condenser, the high-pressure refrigerant gas within the
A/C condenser gives up its heat. The refrigerant then condenses as it leaves the A/C condenser
and becomes a high-pressure liquid. The volume of air flowing over the condenser fins is critical to
the proper cooling performance of the A/C system. Therefore, it is important that there are no
objects placed in front of the radiator grille openings at the front of the vehicle or foreign material on
the condenser fins that might obstruct proper air flow. Also, any factory-installed air seals or
shrouds must be properly reinstalled following radiator or A/C condenser service.
NOTE: Replacement of the refrigerant line O-ring seals and gaskets is required anytime a
refrigerant line is disconnected. Failure to replace the rubber O-ring seals and metal gaskets could
result in a refrigerant system leak.
The A/C condenser has no serviceable parts except for the O-ring seals and gaskets. The O-ring
seals used on the connections are made from a special type of rubber not affected by R-134a
refrigerant. The O-ring seals and gaskets must be replaced whenever a refrigerant line is removed
from the A/C condenser.
The A/C condenser cannot be repaired and must be replaced if leaking or damaged.

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
All switches, components, and modules are shown in the at rest position with the doors closed and
the key removed from the ignition.
Components are shown two ways. A solid line around a component indicates that the component is
complete. A dashed line around the component indicates that the component is being shown is not
complete. Incomplete components have a reference number to indicate the page where the
component is shown complete.
It is important to realize that no attempt is made on the diagrams to represent components and
wiring as they appear on the vehicle. For example, a short piece of wire is treated the same as a
long one. In addition, switches and other components are shown as simply as possible, with regard
to function only.

DESCRIPTION - CONNECTOR, GROUND AND SPLICE INFORMATION
CAUTION: Not all connectors are serviced. Some connectors are serviced only with a harness. A
typical example might be the Supplemental Restraint System connectors. Always check parts
availability before attempting a repair.
IDENTIFICATION
In-line connectors are identified by a number, as follows:
- In-line connectors located in the engine compartment are C100 series numbers.
- In-line connectors located in the instrument panel area are C200 series numbers.
- In-line connectors located in the body are C300 series numbers.
- Jumper harness connectors are C400 series numbers.
- Grounds and ground connectors are identified with a "G" and follow the same series numbering
as the in-line connectors.
- Splices are identified with an "S" and follow the same series numbering as the in-line connectors.
In addition, S001-S099 numbers are located in the engine compartment.
- Component connectors are identified by the component name instead of a number. Multiple
connectors on a component use a C1, C2, etc. identifier.
LOCATIONS
Vehicle/Locations contains the master connector/ground/splice location index charts with
hyperlinks to the applicable location illustrations. The illustrations contain the connector name (or
number)/ground number/splice number and component identification.
The abbreviation T/O is used in the component location section to indicate a point in which the
wiring harness branches out to a component. The abbreviation N/S means Not Shown in the

STANDARD PROCEDURE - ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) SENSITIVE DEVICES
All ESD sensitive components are solid state and a symbol is used to indicate this. When handling
any component with this symbol, comply with the following procedures to reduce the possibility of
electrostatic charge build up on the body and inadvertent discharge into the component. If it is not
known whether the part is ESD sensitive, assume that it is.
1. Always touch a known good ground before handling the part. This should be repeated while
handling the part and more frequently after sliding
across a seat, sitting down from a standing position, or walking a distance.
2. Avoid touching electrical terminals of the part, unless instructed to do so by a written procedure.
3. When using a voltmeter, be sure to connect the ground lead first. 4. Do not remove the part from
it's protective packing until it is time to install the part. 5. Before removing the part from it's
package, ground the package to a known good ground on the vehicle.

Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- Ohmmeter - Used to check the resistance between two points of a circuit. Low or no resistance in
a circuit means good continuity.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking resistance in these circuits use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
In addition, make sure the power is disconnected from the circuit. Circuits that are powered up by
the vehicle's electrical system can cause damage to the equipment and provide false readings.
Dodge Ram 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (Truck V8-4.7L (2008))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Control Assembly, HVAC > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 11912
- Probing Tools - These tools are used for probing terminals in connectors. Select the proper size
tool from Special Tool Package 6807, and insert the probing end (2) into the terminal being tested.
Use the other end of the tool (1) to insert the meter probe.
INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent electrical problems are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. It is also
possible for a sticking component or relay to cause a problem. Before condemning a component or
wiring assembly, check the following items.
- Connectors are fully seated
- Spread terminals, or terminal push out
- Terminals in the wiring assembly are fully seated into the connector/component and locked into
position
- Dirt or corrosion on the terminals. Any amount of corrosion or dirt could cause an intermittent
problem
- Damaged connector/component casing exposing the item to dirt or moisture
- Wire insulation that has rubbed through causing a short to ground
- Some or all of the wiring strands broken inside of the insulation
- Wiring broken inside of the insulation
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are six steps which can aid in the procedure. The
steps are listed and explained below. Always check for non-factory items added to the vehicle
before doing any diagnosis. If the vehicle is equipped with these items, disconnect them to verify
these add-on items are not the cause of the problem.
1. Verify the problem. 2. Verify any related symptoms. Do this by performing operational checks on
components that are in the same circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams. 3. Analyze the symptoms.
Use the wiring diagrams to determine what the circuit is doing, where the problem most likely is
occurring and where the
diagnosis will continue.
4. Isolate the problem area. 5. Repair the problem area. 6. Verify the proper operation. For this
step, check for proper operation of all items on the repaired circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams.

Evaporator Core: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
NOTE: Typical A/C evaporator shown.
The A/C evaporator (1) for the heating-A/C system is located within the HVAC housing, behind the
instrument panel. The A/C evaporator (and insulator (2), when equipped) are positioned in the
HVAC housing so that all air entering the housing must pass over the evaporator fins before it is
distributed through the heating-A/C system ducts and outlets. However, air passing over the
evaporator fins will only be conditioned when the A/C compressor is engaged and circulating
refrigerant through the A/C evaporator.
The A/C evaporator can be serviced by removing and disassembling the HVAC housing assembly.
Dodge Ram 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (Truck V8-4.7L (2008))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Evaporator Core > Component Information > Description and
Operation > Description > Page 11937
Evaporator Core: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
Refrigerant enters the A/C evaporator through the A/C orifice tube as a low-temperature,
low-pressure mixture of liquid and gas. As air flows over the fins of the A/C evaporator, the
humidity in the air condenses on the fins, and the heat from the air is absorbed by the refrigerant.
Heat absorption causes the refrigerant to boil and vaporize. The refrigerant becomes a
low-pressure gas when it leaves the A/C evaporator.
NOTE: Replacement of the refrigerant line O-ring seals and gaskets is required anytime a
refrigerant line is opened. Failure to replace the rubber O-ring seals and metal gaskets could result
in a refrigerant system leak.
The A/C evaporator has no serviceable parts. The O-ring seals used on the connections are made
from a special type of rubber not affected by R-134a refrigerant. The O-ring seals must be replaced
whenever a refrigerant line is removed from the A/C evaporator.
The A/C evaporator cannot be repaired and must be replaced if leaking or damaged.

Evaporator Temperature Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The evaporator temperature sensor monitors the temperature of the conditioned air downstream of
the A/C evaporator and supplies an input signal to the A/C-heater control. The A/C-heater control
uses the evaporator temperature sensor input signal to optimize A/C system performance and to
protect the A/C system from evaporator freezing. The evaporator temperature sensor will change
its internal resistance in response to the temperatures it monitors and is connected to the
A/C-heater control through sensor ground circuit and a 5-volt reference signal circuit. As the
temperature of the A/C evaporator decreases, the internal resistance of the evaporator temperature
sensor decreases.
The A/C-heater control uses the monitored voltage reading as an indication of evaporator
temperature. The A/C-heater control is programmed to respond to this input by requesting the
powertrain control module (PCM) or the engine control module (ECM) (depending on engine
application) to cycle the A/C compressor clutch as necessary to optimize A/C system performance
and to protect the A/C system from evaporator freezing.
The evaporator temperature sensor is diagnosed using a scan tool See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/Heating-A/C System Diagnostics .
The evaporator temperature sensor cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if found
inoperative or damaged.

Description and Operation > A/C Compressor - Description > Page 11971
High Pressure Safety Valve HVAC: Description and Operation A/C Compressor - Operation
HIGH PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
The high pressure relief valve vents refrigerant from the A/C system when a discharge pressure of
3445 to 4135 kPa (500 to 600 psi) or above is reached. The high pressure relief valve closes with a
minimum discharge pressure of 2756 kPa (400 psi) is reached.
The high pressure relief valve vents only enough refrigerant to reduce the A/C system pressure,
and then re-seats itself. The majority of the refrigerant is conserved in the A/C system. If the high
pressure relief valve vents refrigerant, it does not mean the valve is inoperative.
The high pressure relief valve is factory-calibrated and cannot be adjusted or repaired, and must
not be removed or otherwise disturbed. The valve is only serviced as a part of the A/C compressor.

Description and Operation
Housing Assembly HVAC: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION
All models are equipped with a common HVAC housing assembly that combines A/C and heating
capabilities into a single unit mounted within the passenger compartment. The HVAC housing
assembly consists of the following:
- HVAC housing - The HVAC housing consists of an upper housing (7) and a lower housing (10)
that are attached together by screws and is mounted to the dash panel behind the instrument
panel. The HVAC housing contains the heater core (9), A/C evaporator (15), blend-air and modeair doors, and has mounting provisions for the air-door actuators (3, 5, 6 and 8), floor distribution
duct (4), blower motor (13), blower motor resistor, foam seals (12, 14 and 16) and the HVAC wire
harness (11).
- Air inlet housing - The air inlet housing (1) is mounted to the right end of the HVAC housing and
contains the recirculation-air door and has mounting provisions for the recirculation door actuator
(2).
The heating-A/C system is a blend-air type system. The blend-air doors control the amount of
conditioned air that is allowed to flow through, or around, the heater core. The dual zone heating
A/C system uses two blend door actuators while the single zone system uses only one blend door
actuator.
The A/C system is designed for the use of a non-CFC, R-134a refrigerant and uses an A/C
evaporator to cool and dehumidify the incoming air prior to blending it with the heated air. A
temperature control determines the discharge air temperature by operating the blend door
actuator(s), which moves the blend-air door(s). This allows an almost immediate control of the
output air temperature of the system. The mode door actuator operates the mode-air doors which
direct the flow of the conditioned air out the various air outlets, depending on the mode selected.
The recirculation door actuator operates the recirculation-air door which closes off the fresh air
intake and recirculates the air already inside the vehicle. The electric door actuators are connected
to the vehicle electrical system by the HVAC wire harness. The blower motor controls the velocity
of air flowing through the HVAC housing assembly by spinning the blower wheel within the HVAC
housings at the selected speed by use of the blower motor resistor.
The HVAC housing must be removed from the vehicle and disassembled for service of the heater
core, A/C evaporator, evaporator temperature sensor, blend-air and mode-air doors. The air inlet
housing must be removed from HVAC housing and disassembled for service of the recirculation-air
door.

A/C REFRIGERANT
The refrigerant used in this air conditioning system is a HydroFluoroCarbon (HFC), type R-134a.
Unlike R-12, which is a ChloroFluoroCarbon (CFC), R-134a refrigerant does not contain
ozone-depleting chlorine. R-134a refrigerant is a non-toxic, non-flammable, clear and colorless
liquefied gas.
CAUTION: R-134a refrigerant is not compatible with R-12 refrigerant in an A/C system. Even a
small amount of R-12 refrigerant added to an R-134a refrigerant system will cause A/C compressor
failure.
The A/C refrigerant system is filled-for-life at the factory and requires no regular maintenance.
Although not required at specific intervals, the charge level should be checked if system
performance deteriorates or if a noise or leak is suspected See: Testing and Inspection/Component
Tests and General Diagnostics/Refrigerant System Leaks .

Even though R-134a does not contain chlorine, it must be reclaimed and recycled just like
CFC-type refrigerants. This is because R-134a is a greenhouse gas and can contribute to global
warming See: Service and Repair/Refrigerant System Recovery .

Refrigerant: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
R-134a refrigerant is not compatible with R-12 refrigerant in an A/C system. Even a small amount
of R-12 refrigerant added to an R-134a refrigerant system will cause A/C compressor failure,
refrigerant oil sludge or poor A/C system performance. In addition, the polyalkylene glycol (PAG)
synthetic refrigerant oils used in an R-134a refrigerant system are not compatible with the
mineral-based refrigerant oils used in an R-12 refrigerant system.
R-134a refrigerant system service ports, service tool couplers and refrigerant dispensing bottles
have all been designed with unique fittings to ensure that an R-134a refrigerant system is not
accidentally contaminated with the wrong refrigerant (R-12). There are also labels posted in the
engine compartment of the vehicle and on the A/C compressor to identify that the A/C system is
equipped with R-134a refrigerant.

Refrigerant: Testing and Inspection
REFRIGERANT SYSTEM LEAKS
WARNING: R-134a service equipment or vehicle A/C system should not be pressure tested or leak
tested with compressed air. Mixture of air and R-134a can be combustible at elevated pressures.
These mixtures are potentially dangerous and may result in fire or explosion causing property
damage and serious or fatal injury. Avoid breathing A/C refrigerant and lubricant vapor or mist.
Exposure may irritate eyes, nose and throat. Use only approved service equipment meeting SAE
requirements to discharge an R-134a system. If accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work
area before resuming service.
NOTE: If the A/C refrigerant system charge is empty or low, a leak in the A/C system is likely.
Visually inspect all A/C lines, fittings and components for an oily residue. Oil residue can be an
indicator of an A/C system leak location.
NOTE: The only way to correctly determine if the refrigerant system is fully charged with R-134a is
to completely evacuate and recharge the A/C system.
Connect a suitable manifold gauge set and determine if the static A/C system pressure is above or
below 345 kPa (50 psi) See: Tools and Equipment/Refrigerant System Service Equipment . If less
than 345 kPa (50 psi), proceed to SYSTEM EMPTY. If greater than 345 kPa (50 psi), go to
SYSTEM LOW.
SYSTEM EMPTY
1. Evacuate the refrigerant system to the lowest degree of vacuum possible (approximately -88 kPa
(- 26 in. Hg) or greater vacuum) See: Service and
Repair/Refrigerant System Evacuate . Determine if the system holds a vacuum for 15 minutes. If
vacuum is held, a leak is probably not present. If system will not maintain vacuum level, proceed to
STEP 2.
2. Prepare and dispense 0.284 kilograms (10 ounces) of R-134a refrigerant into the evacuated
refrigerant system See: Service and Repair/Refrigerant
System Charge and proceed to STEP 1 of the System Low procedure.
SYSTEM LOW
3. Position the vehicle in a wind-free work area. This will aid in detecting small leaks. 4. Operate
the heating-A/C system with the engine at idle under the following conditions for at least 5 minutes.
- Doors or windows open
- Transmission in Park or Neutral with the parking brake set (depending on application)
- A/C-heater controls set to outside air, full cool, panel mode, high blower and with A/C compressor
engaged
CAUTION: A leak detector only designed for R-12 refrigerant will not detect leaks in an R-134a
refrigerant system.
5. Shut the vehicle Off and wait 2-7 minutes. Then use an electronic leak detector that is designed
to detect R-134a refrigerant and search for leaks.
Fittings, lines or components that appear to be oily usually indicate a refrigerant leak. To inspect
the A/C evaporator for leaks, insert the leak detector probe into the drain tube opening or an air
outlet. A dye for R-134a is available to aid in leak detection. Use only DaimlerChrysler approved
refrigerant dye.

REFRIGERANT SYSTEM EVACUATE
NOTE: Special effort must be used to prevent moisture from entering the A/C system oil. Moisture
in the oil is very difficult to remove and will cause a reliability problem with the A/C compressor.
If an A/C compressor designed to use R-134a refrigerant is left open to the atmosphere for an
extended period of time. It is recommended that the refrigerant oil be drained and replaced with
new oil or a new A/C compressor be used. This will eliminate the possibility of contaminating the
refrigerant system.
If the refrigerant system has been open to the atmosphere, it must be evacuated before the system
can be filled. Moisture and air mixed with the refrigerant will raise the compressor head pressure
above acceptable operating levels. This will reduce the performance of the A/C system and
damage the A/C compressor. Moisture will boil at near room temperature when exposed to
vacuum. To evacuate the refrigerant system:
NOTE: When connecting the service equipment coupling to the line fitting, verify that the valve of
the coupling is fully closed. This will reduce the amount of effort required to make the connection.
1. Recover the refrigerant system See: Service and Repair/Refrigerant System Recovery . 2.
Connect a suitable charging station, refrigerant recovery machine or a manifold gauge set with
vacuum pump and refrigerant recovery equipment
See: Tools and Equipment/Refrigerant System Service Equipment .
3. Open the suction and discharge valves and start the vacuum pump. The vacuum pump should
run a minimum of 45 minutes prior to charge to
eliminate all moisture in system. When the suction gauge reads to the lowest degree of vacuum
possible (approximately -88 kPa (- 26 in. Hg) or greater) for 30 minutes, close all valves and turn
off vacuum pump. If the system fails to reach specified vacuum, the refrigerant system likely has a
leak that must be corrected. If the refrigerant system maintains specified vacuum for at least 30
minutes, start the vacuum pump, open the suction and discharge valves. Then allow the system to
evacuate an additional 10 minutes.
4. Close all valves. Turn off and disconnect the vacuum pump. 5. Charge the refrigerant system
See: Service and Repair/Refrigerant System Charge .

Refrigerant Oil: Capacity Specifications
REFRIGERANT OIL LEVEL
When an A/C system is assembled at the factory, all components except the A/C compressor are
refrigerant oil free. After the refrigerant system has been charged and operated, the refrigerant oil
in the A/C compressor is dispersed throughout the refrigerant system. The accumulator, A/C
evaporator, A/C condenser and the A/C compressor will each retain a significant amount of the
needed refrigerant oil.
It is important to have the correct amount of refrigerant oil in the A/C system. This ensures proper
lubrication of the A/C compressor. Too little oil will result in damage to the A/C compressor, while
too much oil will reduce the cooling capacity of the A/C system and consequently result in higher
discharge air temperatures.
CAUTION: The refrigerant oil in the R-134a A/C system is unique depending on the A/C
compressor used. Use only PAG oils that are designed to work with R-134a refrigerant and the A/C
compressor in the vehicle. Always refer to the A/C Underhood Specification Label for the correct oil
designation. The oil container should be kept tightly capped until it is ready for use and then tightly
capped after use to prevent contamination from dirt and moisture. Refrigerant oil will quickly absorb
any moisture it comes in contact with, therefore, special effort must be used to keep all R-134a
system components moisture-free. Moisture in the refrigerant oil is very difficult to remove and will
cause a reliability problem with the A/C compressor.
NOTE: Most reclaim/recycling equipment will measure the lubricant being removed during
recovery. This amount of lubricant should be added back into the system.
It will not be necessary to check the oil level in the A/C compressor or to add oil, unless there has
been an oil loss. An oil loss may occur due to a rupture or leak from a refrigerant line, a connector
fitting, a component, or a component seal. If a leak occurs, add 30 milliliters (1 fluid ounce) of
refrigerant oil to the refrigerant system after the repair has been made. Refrigerant oil loss will be
evident at the leak point by the presence of a wet, shiny surface around the leak.
Refrigerant oil must be added when an A/C accumulator, A/C evaporator or A/C condenser is
replaced. See the Refrigerant Oil Capacities chart.
The refrigerant oil level in a new A/C compressor must first be adjusted prior to compressor
installation (refer to COMPRESSOR OIL DRAIN PROCEDURE).
COMPRESSOR OIL DRAIN PROCEDURE
CAUTION: Be certain to adjust the refrigerant system oil level when replacing an A/C compressor.
Failure to properly drain and measure the refrigerant oil from the A/C compressor can prevent the
A/C system from operating as designed and cause serious compressor damage.
The A/C compressor is filled with refrigerant oil from the factory. Use the following procedure to
drain and measure refrigerant oil from the A/C compressor.
1. Drain all of the refrigerant oil from the old A/C compressor into a clean measured container. 2.
Drain all of the refrigerant oil from the new A/C compressor into a clean measured container. 3.
Refill the new A/C compressor with the same amount of refrigerant oil that was drained out of the
old compressor. Use only clean refrigerant oil of
the type recommended for the A/C compressor in the vehicle.
4. Install the new A/C compressor onto the engine See: Compressor HVAC/Service and
Repair/A/C Compressor - Installation .

Refrigerant Oil: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The refrigerant oil used in R-134a refrigerant systems is a synthetic-based, polyalkylene glycol
(PAG), wax-free lubricant. Mineral-based R-12 refrigerant oils are not compatible with PAG oils,
and should never be introduced to an R-134a refrigerant system.
There are different PAG oils available, and each contains a different additive package. Use only
refrigerant oil of the same type as recommended to service the refrigerant system (always refer to
the specification tag included with the replacement A/C compressor or the A/C Underhood
Specification Label located in the engine compartment).
The Denso 10S17 A/C compressor used in this vehicle when equipped with the 3.7L, 4.7L or 5.7L
engine is designed to use ND-8 PAG refrigerant oil. Use only this type of refrigerant oil when
servicing the A/C compressor for these engines.
The Visteon HS-18 A/C compressor used in this vehicle when equipped with 5.9L or 6.7L diesel
engine is designed to use VC-46 PAG refrigerant oil. Use only this type of refrigerant oil when
servicing this A/C compressor.

Refrigerant Oil: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
After performing any refrigerant recovery or recycling operation, always replenish the refrigerant
system with the same amount of the recommended refrigerant oil as was removed. Too little
refrigerant oil can cause A/C compressor damage, and too much can reduce A/C system
performance.
PAG refrigerant oil is more hygroscopic than mineral oil, and will absorb any moisture it comes into
contact with, even moisture in the air. The PAG oil container should always be kept tightly capped
until it is ready to be used. After use, recap the oil container immediately to prevent moisture
contamination.

Refrigerant Pressure Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The A/C pressure transducer (1) is a switch that is installed on a fitting located on the A/C
discharge line. An internally threaded fitting on the A/C pressure transducer connects it to the
externally threaded Schrader-type fitting on the A/C discharge line. A rubber O-ring seals the
connection between the A/C pressure transducer and the discharge line fitting. The A/C pressure
transducer is connected to the vehicle electrical system by a molded plastic connector with three
terminals.

Refrigerant Pressure Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The A/C pressure transducer monitors the pressures in the high side of the refrigerant system
through its connection to a fitting on the A/C discharge line and its internal resistance changes in
response to the pressures it monitors. The powertrain control module (PCM) or the engine control
module (ECM) (depending on engine application) provides a five volt reference signal and a sensor
ground to the A/C pressure transducer, then monitors the output voltage of the transducer on a
sensor return circuit to determine refrigerant pressure. The PCM/ECM is programmed to respond
to this and other sensor inputs by controlling the operation of the A/C compressor clutch and the
radiator cooling fan to help optimize A/C system performance and to protect the system
components from damage. The PCM/ECM will disengage the A/C compressor clutch when high
side pressure rises above 3172 kPa (460 psi) and re-engage the clutch when high side pressure
drops below 1999 kPa (290 psi). The A/C pressure transducer will also disengage the A/C
compressor clutch if the high side pressure drops below 193 kPa (28 psi) and will re-engage the
clutch when the high side pressure rises above 234 kPa (34 psi). If the refrigerant pressure rises
above 1655 kPa (240 psi), the PCM will actuate the cooling fan. The A/C pressure transducer
signal to the PCM/ECM also prevents the A/C compressor clutch from engaging when ambient
temperatures are below about 10° C (50° F) due to the pressure/temperature relationship of the
refrigerant.
A Schrader-type valve in the A/C discharge line fitting permits the A/C pressure transducer to be
removed or installed without disturbing the refrigerant in the A/C system.
The A/C pressure transducer is diagnosed using a scan tool.
The A/C pressure transducer cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if found
inoperative or damaged.

Evaporator Temperature Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
NOTE: Cutaway of HVAC housing shown for clarity.
The evaporator temperature sensor (1) is an electrical thermistor located within a molded plastic
case that is inserted into the top of the HVAC housing (2) to measure the temperature of the
conditioned air downstream of the A/C evaporator (3). Two terminals within the connector
receptacle connect the sensor to the vehicle electrical system through a wire lead and connector of
the HVAC wire harness.
The external location of the evaporator temperature sensor allows the sensor to be removed or
installed without disturbing the refrigerant in the A/C system.

Evaporator Temperature Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The evaporator temperature sensor monitors the temperature of the conditioned air downstream of
the A/C evaporator and supplies an input signal to the A/C-heater control. The A/C-heater control
uses the evaporator temperature sensor input signal to optimize A/C system performance and to
protect the A/C system from evaporator freezing. The evaporator temperature sensor will change
its internal resistance in response to the temperatures it monitors and is connected to the
A/C-heater control through sensor ground circuit and a 5-volt reference signal circuit. As the
temperature of the A/C evaporator decreases, the internal resistance of the evaporator temperature
sensor decreases.
The A/C-heater control uses the monitored voltage reading as an indication of evaporator
temperature. The A/C-heater control is programmed to respond to this input by requesting the
powertrain control module (PCM) or the engine control module (ECM) (depending on engine
application) to cycle the A/C compressor clutch as necessary to optimize A/C system performance
and to protect the A/C system from evaporator freezing.
The evaporator temperature sensor is diagnosed using a scan tool See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/Heating-A/C System Diagnostics .
The evaporator temperature sensor cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if found
inoperative or damaged.

been deployed. If a side curtain airbag has been deployed, the complete airbag unit, the headliner,
as well as the upper A, B, and C-pillar trim must be replaced. These components are not intended
for reuse and will be damaged or weakened as a result of a SRS component deployment, which
may or may not be obvious during a visual inspection.
On vehicles with an optional sunroof, the sunroof drain tubes and hoses must be closely inspected
following a side curtain airbag deployment. It is also critical that the mounting surfaces and
mounting brackets for the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC), side impact sensors, and front
impact sensors be closely inspected and restored to their original conditions following any vehicle
impact damage. Because the ORC and each impact sensor are used by the SRS to monitor or
confirm the direction and severity of a vehicle impact, improper orientation or insecure fastening of
these components may cause airbags not to deploy when required, or to deploy when not required.
Never attempt to repair the electrically conductive circuits or wiring components related to the SRS.
Such repairs can compromise the conductivity and current carrying capacity of those critical
electrical circuits, which may cause SRS components not to deploy when required, or to deploy
when not required. Any wire harness containing broken, cut, burned or otherwise damaged
electrically conductive SRS wiring, terminals or connector components must be removed and
replaced with an entire new wire harness. Only minor cuts or abrasions of wire and terminal
insulation where the conductive material has not been damaged, or connector insulators where the
integrity of the latching and locking mechanisms have not been compromised may be repaired
using appropriate methods.
All other vehicle components should be closely inspected following any SRS component
deployment, but are to be replaced only as required by the extent of the visible damage incurred.
AIRBAG SQUIB STATUS
Multistage airbags with multiple initiators (squibs) must be checked to determine that all squibs
were used during the deployment event. The driver and passenger airbags in this vehicle are
deployed by electrical signals generated by the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) through the
driver or passenger squib 1 and squib 2 circuits to the two initiators in the airbag inflators. Typically,
both initiators are used and all potentially hazardous chemicals are burned during an airbag
deployment event. However, it is possible for only one initiator to be used due to an airbag system
fault; therefore, it is always necessary to confirm that both initiators have been used in order to
avoid the improper handling or disposal of potentially live pyrotechnic or hazardous materials. The
following procedure should be performed using a diagnostic scan tool to verify the status of both
airbag squibs before either deployed airbag is removed from the vehicle for disposal.
CAUTION: Deployed front airbags having two initiators (squibs) in the airbag inflator may or may
not have live pyrotechnic material within the inflator. Do not dispose of these airbags unless you
are certain of complete deployment. Refer to the Hazardous Substance Control System for
information regarding the potentially hazardous properties of the subject component and the proper
safe handling procedures. Then dispose of all non-deployed and deployed airbags and seat belt
tensioners in a manner consistent with state, provincial, local and federal regulations.
1. Be certain that the diagnostic scan tool contains the latest version of the proper diagnostic
software. Connect the scan tool to the 16-way Data Link
Connector (DLC). The DLC is located on the driver side lower edge of the instrument panel,
outboard of the steering column.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. 3. Using the scan tool, read and record the active
(current) Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) data.
Using the active DTC information, refer to the Airbag Squib Status table to determine the status of
both driver and passenger airbag squibs.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Restraint Systems > Repairs and Inspections Required After a Collision > System Information
> Service and Repair > Page 12119
NOTE: If none of the Driver or Passenger Squib 1 or 2 open are active codes, the status of the
airbag squibs is unknown. In this case the airbag should be handled and disposed of as if the
squibs were both live.
CLEANUP PROCEDURE
Following a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) component deployment, the vehicle interior will
contain a powdery residue. This residue consists primarily of harmless particulate by-products of
the small pyrotechnic charge that initiates the propellant used to deploy a SRS component.
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 certain to wear safety
glasses, rubber gloves, and a long-sleeved shirt during cleanup.
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury, if you experience skin irritation during cleanup, run cool
water over the affected area. Also, if you experience irritation of the nose or throat, exit the vehicle
for fresh air until the irritation ceases. If irritation continues, see a physician.
1. Begin the cleanup by using a vacuum cleaner to remove any residual powder from the vehicle
interior. Clean from outside the vehicle and work
Dodge Ram 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (Truck V8-4.7L (2008))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Restraint Systems > Repairs and Inspections Required After a Collision > System Information
> Service and Repair > Page 12120
your way inside, so that you avoid kneeling or sitting on a non-cleaned area.
2. Be certain to vacuum the heater and air conditioning outlets as well. Run the heater and air
conditioner blower on the lowest speed setting and
vacuum any powder expelled from the outlets.
CAUTION: Deployed front airbags having two initiators (squibs) in the airbag inflator may or may
not have live pyrotechnic material within the inflator. Do not dispose of these airbags unless you
are certain of complete deployment. Refer to AIRBAG SQUIB STATUS. All damaged, ineffective,
or non-deployed Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) components which are replaced on
vehicles are to be handled and disposed of properly. If an airbag or seat belt tensioner unit is
ineffective or damaged and non-deployed, refer to the Hazardous Substance Control System for
information regarding the potentially hazardous properties of the subject component and the proper
safe handling procedures. Then dispose of all non-deployed and deployed airbags and seat belt
tensioners in a manner consistent with state, provincial, local and federal regulations.
3. Next, remove the deployed SRS components from the vehicle. Refer to the appropriate service
removal procedures. 4. You may need to vacuum the interior of the vehicle a second time to
recover all of the powder.

Description
DESCRIPTION
The color-keyed, injection molded, thermoplastic driver airbag protective trim cover (2) is the most
visible part of the driver airbag. The driver airbag is located in the center of the steering wheel (1),
where it is secured with two screws to the armature of the four-spoke steering wheel. All vehicles
have a chrome Dodge Ram emblem in the center of the trim cover. Concealed beneath the driver
airbag trim cover are the horn switch, the folded airbag cushion, the airbag cushion retainer, the
airbag housing, the airbag inflator, and the retainers that secure the inflator to the airbag housing.
The airbag cushion, housing (5), and inflator (3) are secured within an integral receptacle molded
into the back of the trim cover (4). The four vertical walls of this receptacle have a total of 12 small
windows with blocking tabs that are engaged by 12 hook formations around the perimeter of the
airbag housing. Each hook is inserted through one of the windows and the blocking tab in each
window keeps the hook properly engaged with the trim cover, locking the trim cover securely into
place on the airbag housing.
The resistive membrane-type horn switch is secured with heat stakes to the inside surface of the
driver airbag trim cover, between the trim cover and the folded airbag cushion. The horn switch
ground pigtail wire has an eyelet terminal connector that is captured beneath a flanged nut on the
upper right inflator mounting stud on the back of the housing. The horn switch feed pigtail wire has
a black, molded plastic insulator (1) that is secured by an integral retainer in a locator hole near the
upper right corner of the airbag housing and is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a
dedicated take out and connector of the steering wheel wire harness. Both horn switch wires are
routed through an integral notch in the center of the upper edge of the airbag housing stamping.
The airbag used in this vehicle is a multistage, Next Generation-type that complies with revised
federal airbag standards to deploy with less force than those used in some prior vehicles. A 71
centimeter (28 inch) diameter, radial deploying fabric cushion with internal tethers is used. The
airbag inflator is a dual-initiator, non-azide, pyrotechnic-type unit with four mounting studs and is
secured to the stamped metal airbag housing by four flanged hex nuts. Two keyed and color-coded
connector receptacles on the driver airbag inflator connect the two inflator initiators to the vehicle
electrical system through two yellow-jacketed, two-wire pigtail harnesses of the clockspring.

The driver airbag unit cannot be repaired, and must be replaced if deployed, ineffective or in any
way damaged. The driver airbag trim cover and horn switch unit may be disassembled from the
driver airbag unit, and is available for separate service replacement.
Operation
OPERATION
The multistage driver airbag is deployed by electrical signals generated by the Occupant Restraint
Controller (ORC) through the driver airbag squib 1 and squib 2 circuits to the two initiators in the
airbag inflator. By using two initiators, the airbag can be deployed at multiple levels of force. The
force level is controlled by the ORC to suit the monitored impact conditions by providing one of
three delay intervals between the electrical signals provided to the two initiators. The longer the
delay between these signals, the less forcefully the airbag will deploy.
When the ORC sends the proper electrical signals to each initiator, the electrical energy generates
enough heat to initiate a small pyrotechnic charge which, in turn ignites chemical pellets within the
inflator. Once ignited, these chemical pellets burn rapidly and produce a large quantity of inert gas.
The inflator is sealed to the back of the airbag housing and a diffuser in the inflator directs all of the
inert gas into the airbag cushion, causing the cushion to inflate. As the cushion inflates, the driver
airbag trim cover will split at predetermined breakout lines, then fold back out of the way along with
the horn switch unit. Following an airbag deployment, the airbag cushion quickly deflates by
venting the inert gas towards the instrument panel through vent holes within the fabric used to
construct the back (steering wheel side) panel of the airbag cushion.
Some of the chemicals used to create the inert gas may be considered hazardous while in their
solid state before they are burned, but they are securely sealed within the airbag inflator. Typically,
both initiators are used and all potentially hazardous chemicals are burned during an airbag
deployment event. However, it is possible for only one initiator to be used during a deployment due
to an airbag system fault; therefore, it is necessary to always confirm that both initiators have been
used in order to avoid the improper disposal of potentially live pyrotechnic or hazardous materials.
See: Repairs and Inspections Required After a Collision/Service and Repair .
The inert gas that is produced when the chemicals are burned is harmless. However, a small
amount of residue from the burned chemicals may cause some temporary discomfort if it contacts
the skin, eyes, or breathing passages. If skin or eye irritation is noted, rinse the affected area with
plenty of cool, clean water. If breathing passages are irritated, move to another area where there is
plenty of clean, fresh air to breath. If the irritation is not alleviated by these actions, contact a
physician.
Proper diagnosis of the driver airbag inflator and squib circuits requires the use of a diagnostic
scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Air Bag: Description and Operation Passenger Airbag
Description
DESCRIPTION
The horizontal surface of the injection molded, thermoplastic passenger airbag door (1) is the most
visible part of the passenger airbag. The passenger airbag door is located above the glove box
opening on the top of the instrument panel (2) in front of the front seat passenger seating position.
The forward and outboard edges of the airbag door are secured with integral snap features (3) to
the instrument panel base trim, while the rearward edge has several interlocking tabs that engage
slots in the base trim. Located below the passenger airbag door (2) within the instrument panel is
the passenger airbag unit. The passenger airbag unit is secured by two screws through a stamped
mounting bracket (5) to a support bracket welded onto the instrument panel structural support.
The passenger airbag housing fits into a molded receptacle on the back of the airbag door, where
several stamped hook formations on the forward and rearward edges of the airbag housing are
engaged in mating small window openings on the forward and rearward flanges of the receptacle to
secure the airbag door to the airbag housing. These airbag door fasteners and mounting provisions
are all concealed beneath the instrument panel base trim.
The passenger airbag unit used in this vehicle is a multistage, Next Generation-type that complies
with revised federal airbag standards to deploy with less force than those used in some prior
vehicles. The passenger airbag unit consists of a stamped and welded metal housing, the airbag
cushion, the airbag inflator, and a stamped metal airbag cushion retainer plate that is secured to
the airbag housing with four studs and nuts. The airbag housing contains the airbag inflator and the
folded airbag cushion. An approximately 80 centimeter (31.5 inch) wide by 90 centimeter (35.5
inch) high rectangular fabric cushion is used.
The airbag inflator (4) is a non-azide, pyrotechnic-type unit that is secured to and sealed within the
airbag housing. A short four-wire pigtail harness with a keyed, yellow connector insulator (1)
connects the two inflator initiators to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated take out and
connector of the instrument panel wire harness.

Air Bag: Description and Operation Side Curtain Airbag
Description
DESCRIPTION
Optional side curtain airbags are available for this vehicle when it is also equipped with dual front
airbags. These airbags are passive, inflatable, Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) components,
and vehicles with this equipment can be readily identified by a molded identification trim button with
the SRS - AIRBAG logo located on the headliner above each A-pillar (standard cab), or above
each B-pillar (quad cab and mega cab). This system is designed to reduce injuries to the vehicle
occupants in the event of a side impact collision.
Vehicles equipped with side curtain airbags have two individually controlled curtain airbag units.
These airbag units are concealed and mounted above the headliner where they are each secured
to one of the roof side rails (5). Each folded airbag cushion is contained within a fabric wrap (8) that
extends along the roof rail from the A-pillar (6) at the front of the vehicle to the pillar at the rear of
the vehicle. The channel is initially secured during installation with plastic push-in fasteners to the
roof rail.
A long tether (7) extends down the A-pillar from the front of the airbag cushion, where it is retained
to the pillar with plastic push-in routing clips and it is secured to the base of the A-pillar near the
belt line with a screw. Mega cab vehicles also have a rear tether that is retained with plastic push-in
routing clips and secured to the C-pillar near the back of the cab with a screw.
The hybrid-type inflator (3) for each airbag is secured to the roof rail at the rear of the airbag unit
behind the B-pillar (standard cab) or C-pillar (quad cab and mega cab), and is connected to the
airbag cushion by a long tubular manifold (4). The entire assembly is secured to several spring nuts
spaced along the inside of the roof rail with screws.
A two-wire take out and connector of the body wire harness with a keyed and latched connector
insulator (1) on the B-pillar (standard cab) or C-pillar (quad cab and mega cab) is connected
directly to the connector receptacle of the initiator near the back of the airbag inflator. The body
wire harness connects each curtain airbag unit to the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC).
The side curtain airbag unit cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if deployed,
ineffective, or in any way damaged. Once a side curtain airbag has been deployed, the complete
airbag unit, the headliner, the upper A, B, and C-pillar trim, and all other visibly damaged
components must be replaced.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Restraint Systems > Air Bag Systems > Air Bag > Component Information > Description and

OPERATION
Each side curtain airbag is deployed individually by an electrical signal generated by the Occupant
Restraint Controller (ORC) to which it is connected through left or right curtain airbag line 1 and line
2 (or squib) circuits. The hybrid-type inflator assembly for each airbag contains a small canister of
highly compressed inert gas. When the ORC sends the proper electrical signal to the airbag
inflator, the electrical energy creates enough heat to ignite chemical pellets within the inflator.
Once ignited, these chemicals burn rapidly and produce the pressure necessary to rupture a
containment disk in the inert gas canister. The inflator and inert gas canister are sealed and
connected to a tubular manifold so that all of the released gas is directed into the folded curtain
airbag cushion, causing the cushion to inflate. As the airbag cushion inflates it will drop down from
the roof rail between the edge of the headliner and the side glass/body pillars to form a curtain-like
cushion to protect the vehicle occupants during a side impact collision.
The front tethers keep the front portion of the side airbag cushion taut to the side, as does the rear
tether for the rear portion of the cushion on mega cab vehicles, thus ensuring that the bag will
deploy in the proper position. Following the airbag deployment, the airbag cushion quickly deflates
by venting the inert gas through the loose weave of the cushion fabric, and the deflated cushion
hangs down loosely from the roof rail.
Proper diagnosis of the side curtain airbag inflator and the curtain airbag squib circuits requires the
use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Air Bag Deactivation Switch: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The passenger airbag on/off switch (1) is standard equipment on all standard cab versions of this
vehicle (except light-duty DR 1500) equipped with the dual front airbag system. This switch is a
two-position, resistor multiplexed switch with a single integral amber Light-Emitting Diode (LED),
and a non-coded key cylinder-type actuator. The switch is located in the lower right corner of the
instrument panel center bezel, near the center of the instrument panel.
When the switch is in its installed position, the only components visible through the dedicated
opening of the center bezel are the switch bezel (2) and lens, the nomenclature imprinted on the
lens, and the key cylinder actuator (3). The OFF position nomenclature of the switch is illuminated
and visible only when that switch position is selected. The ON position of the switch is neither
visible or illuminated but can be determined by the orientation of the slot of the key cylinder
actuator. The remainder of the switch is concealed behind the switch bezel and the instrument
panel center bezel.
The passenger airbag on/off switch housing is constructed of molded plastic and has three integral
mounting tabs. These mounting tabs are used to secure the switch to the back of the molded
plastic switch bezel with three small screws. The molded plastic switch bezel also has three
integral mounting tabs that are used to secure the switch and bezel unit to the instrument panel
center bezel with three additional screws.
A molded plastic connector receptacle on the back of the switch housing connects the switch to the
vehicle electrical system through a dedicated take out and connector of the instrument panel wire
harness. The molded plastic harness connector insulator is keyed and latched to ensure proper
and secure switch electrical connections.
The passenger airbag on/off switch cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged,
the switch must be replaced.

Air Bag Deactivation Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The passenger airbag on/off switch allows the customer to turn the passenger airbag function ON
or OFF to accommodate certain uses of the right front seating position where airbag protection may
not be desired.
The OFF indicator of the switch will be illuminated whenever the switch is turned to the OFF
position and the ignition switch is in the ON position.
The ignition key is the only key or object that should ever be inserted into the key cylinder actuator
of the switch. The on/off switch requires only a partial key insertion to fully depress a spring-loaded
locking plunger. The spring-loaded locking plunger prevents the user from leaving the key in the
switch. The key will be automatically ejected when force is not applied. To actuate the passenger
airbag on/off switch, insert the ignition key into the switch key actuator far enough to fully depress
the plunger, then rotate the actuator to the desired switch position.
When the switch key actuator is rotated to its clockwise stop (the key actuator slot will be aligned
with the OFF nomenclature), the OFF indicator is illuminated and the passenger airbag is disabled.
When the switch is rotated to its counterclockwise stop (the key actuator slot will be in a vertical
position) the OFF indicator will be extinguished and the passenger airbag is enabled. The OFF
indicator and the enabling or disabling of the passenger airbag is controlled electronically by the
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) based upon inputs it receives from the on/off switch.
The passenger airbag on/off switch connects one of two internal resistors in series between the
passenger airbag mux switch sense and passenger airbag mux switch return circuits of the ORC.
The ORC continually monitors the resistance in these circuits to determine the switch position that
has been selected. When the switch is in the OFF position, the ORC provides a ground input to the
OFF indicator through the passenger airbag indicator driver circuit, which energizes the
Light-Emitting Diode (LED) that illuminates the indicator. The ORC will store a Diagnostic Trouble
Code (DTC) for any fault it detects in the passenger airbag on/off switch or OFF indicator circuits,
and will illuminate the airbag indicator in the instrument cluster if a fault is detected.
The hard wired circuits between the passenger airbag on/off switch and the ORC may be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. However, conventional diagnostic
methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the passenger airbag on/off switch or the
electronic controls and communication between other modules and devices that provide some
features of the supplemental restraint system. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to
diagnose the passenger airbag on/off switch or the electronic controls and communication related
to passenger airbag on/off switch operation requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.

Air Bag Deactivation Switch: Service and Repair Removal
REMOVAL
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before attempting any steering wheel, steering column,
airbag, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service.
Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system
capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to
disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag
deployment.
NOTE: A passenger airbag on/off switch is used only on standard cab vehicles (except light-duty
DR 1500) equipped with dual front airbags. Quad cab, mega cab and light-duty DR 1500 standard
cab vehicles have a cubby bin installed in the instrument panel center bezel in place of the on/off
switch.
1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable. Wait two minutes for the system capacitor to
discharge before further service. 2. Remove the center bezel (1) from the instrument panel. See:
Body and Frame/Interior Moulding / Trim/Dashboard / Instrument Panel/Service and
Repair/Instrument Panel Center Bezel - Removal .
3. From the back of the center bezel, remove the three screws (2) that secure the passenger airbag
on/off switch and bezel unit (3) to the back of the
center bezel.
4. Remove the passenger airbag on/off switch and bezel from the center bezel as a unit.

Clockspring Assembly / Spiral Cable: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The clockspring assembly is located near the top of the steering column behind the steering wheel.
Two mounting tabs (6) with round holes integral to the sides of the case are secured by two screws
onto the multi-function switch mounting housing. For vehicles equipped with the Electronic Stability
Program (ESP) the clockspring also includes an integral, internal Steering Angle Sensor (SAS) that
is serviced as a unit with the clockspring.
The clockspring consists of a flat, round molded plastic case (4) with a stubby tail that hangs below
the steering column. Within the plastic case is a spool-like molded plastic rotor with a large
exposed hub. The upper surface of the rotor hub has a large center hole, an engagement dowel
(5), two short pigtail wires with connectors (1), and two connector receptacles (3) that face toward
the steering wheel.
Service replacement clocksprings are shipped pre-centered and with a molded plastic locking pin
(2) that snaps into a receptacle on the rotor and is engaged with tabs on the upper surface of the
clockspring case. The locking pin secures the centered clockspring rotor to the clockspring case
during shipment and handling, but must be removed from the clockspring after it is installed on the
steering column. See: Service and Repair/Procedures .
The lower surface of the case (1) facing toward the instrument panel includes a locating tab (2) that
is engaged by a locating pin on the multi-function switch mounting housing, two integral connector
receptacles (5) and, on clocksprings with a SAS, an additional applied connector (4) with a short
pigtail wire on the lower end, outboard of the two integral connector receptacles. The lower surface
of the rotor hub also has a molded plastic turn signal cancel cam with two lobes (3) that is integral
to the rotor.
Within the plastic case and wound around the rotor spool is a long ribbon-like tape that consists of
several thin copper wire leads sandwiched between two thin plastic membranes. The outer end of
the tape terminates at the connector receptacles that face the instrument panel, while the inner end

Clockspring Assembly / Spiral Cable: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The clockspring is a mechanical electrical circuit component that is used to provide continuous
electrical continuity between the fixed instrument panel wire harness and the electrical components
mounted on or in the rotating steering wheel. On this vehicle the rotating electrical components
include the driver airbag, the horn switch, the speed control switches, and the remote radio
switches, if the vehicle is so equipped. The clockspring case is positioned and secured to the
multi-function switch mounting housing near the top of the steering column. The connector
receptacles on the tail of the fixed clockspring case connect the clockspring to the vehicle electrical
system through two take outs with connectors from the instrument panel wire harness.
The clockspring rotor is movable and is keyed by an engagement dowel that is molded onto the
rotor hub between two fins that are cast into the lower surface of the steering wheel armature. A
yellow rubber boot is installed over the engagement dowel to eliminate contact noise between the
dowel and the steering wheel. The two lobes on the turn signal cancel cam on the lower surface of
the clockspring rotor hub contact a turn signal cancel actuator of the multi-function switch to
provide automatic turn signal cancellation.
Two short, yellow-sleeved pigtail wires on the upper surface of the clockspring rotor connect the
clockspring to the multistage driver airbag, while a steering wheel wire harness connects the two
connector receptacles on the upper surface of the clockspring rotor to the horn switch feed pigtail
wire connector and, if the vehicle is so equipped, to the optional speed control and remote radio
switches on the steering wheel.
Like the clockspring in a timepiece, the clockspring tape has travel limits and can be damaged by
being wound too tightly during full stop-to-stop steering wheel rotation. To prevent this from
occurring, the clockspring is centered when it is installed on the steering column. Centering the
clockspring indexes the clockspring tape to the movable steering components so that the tape can
operate within its designed travel limits. However, if the clockspring is removed from the steering
column or if the steering shaft is disconnected from the steering gear, the clockspring spool can
change position relative to the movable steering components. The clockspring must be re-centered
following completion of this service or the tape may be damaged.
Service replacement clocksprings are shipped pre-centered and with a plastic locking pin installed.
This locking pin should not be removed until the clockspring has been installed on the steering
column. If the locking pin is removed before the clockspring is installed on a steering column, the
clockspring centering procedure must be performed. See: Service and Repair/Procedures .
The clockspring as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the clockspring may be diagnosed
using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
However, on vehicles equipped with Electronic Stability Program (ESP) conventional diagnostic
methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the Steering Angle Sensor (SAS) within the
clockspring or the electronic controls or communication between other modules and devices that
provide features of the ESP. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the SAS
or the electronic controls and communication related to ESP operation requires the use of a
diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

are in the straight-ahead position.
1. Place the front wheels in the straight-ahead position. 2. Remove the clockspring from the
steering column. See: Removal and Replacement/Removal . 3. Rotate the clockspring rotor (7)
clockwise to the end of its travel. Do not apply excessive torque. 4. From the end of the clockwise
travel, rotate the rotor about two and one-half turns counterclockwise. The engagement dowel (5)
should end up at
the bottom, and the airbag pigtail wires (1) and connector receptacles (3) should be at the top. Turn
the rotor slightly clockwise or counterclockwise as necessary so that the slots for the clockspring
locking pin (2) are in alignment.
5. The clockspring is now centered. Secure the clockspring rotor to the clockspring case to
maintain clockspring centering until it is reinstalled on the
steering column.
6. The front wheels should still be in the straight-ahead position. Reinstall the clockspring onto the

Impact Sensor: Description and Operation Description
Front
FRONT
Two front impact sensors (1) are used on this vehicle, one each for the left and right sides of the
vehicle. These sensors are mounted remotely from the impact sensor that is internal to the
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC). Each front impact sensor is secured with a screw to the back
of the right or left end of the lower radiator crossmember within the engine compartment. The
sensor housing has an integral connector receptacle (4), an integral anti-rotation pin (3), and an
integral mounting hole (2) with a metal sleeve to provide crush protection.
The right and left front impact sensors are identical in construction and calibration. A cavity in the
center of the molded black plastic impact sensor housing contains the electronic circuitry of the
sensor which includes an electronic communication 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 vehicle electrical system through a dedicated take
out and connector of the headlamp and dash wire harness.
The front impact sensors cannot be repaired or adjusted and, if damaged or ineffective, they must
be replaced.

Two side impact sensors (1) are used on this vehicle when it is equipped with the optional side
curtain airbags, one each for the left and right sides of the vehicle. These sensors are mounted
remotely from the impact sensor that is internal to the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC). Each
side sensor is secured with a nut within the right or left B-pillar just above the front seat belt
retractors and behind the lower B-pillar trim within the passenger compartment. The sensor
housing has an integral connector receptacle (2), an integral mounting stud (3), and an integral
anti-rotation pin.

Impact Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
Front
FRONT
The front impact sensors are electronic accelerometers that sense the rate of vehicle deceleration,
which provides verification of the direction and severity of an impact. Each sensor also contains an
electronic communication chip that allows the unit to communicate the sensor status as well as
sensor fault information to the microprocessor in the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC).
The ORC microprocessor continuously monitors all of the passive restraint system electrical
circuits to determine the system readiness. If the ORC detects a monitored system fault, it sets a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) and controls the airbag indicator operation accordingly. The impact
sensors each receive battery current and ground through dedicated left and right sensor plus and
minus circuits from the ORC. The impact sensors and the ORC communicate by modulating the
voltage in the sensor plus circuit.
The hard wired circuits between the front impact sensors and the ORC may be diagnosed using
conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the impact
sensors or the electronic controls or communication between other modules and devices that
provide features of the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS). The most reliable, efficient, and
accurate means to diagnose the impact sensors or the electronic controls and communication
related to front impact sensor operation requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the

Seat Occupant Classification Module - Air Bag: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) (1) is located in the passenger compartment of the
vehicle, where it is secured by three nuts to three studs on a stamped steel mounting bracket
welded onto the top of the floor panel transmission tunnel under the center front seat section or the
center floor console, as the vehicle is equipped. Concealed within a hollow in the center of the die
cast aluminum ORC housing is the electronic circuitry of the ORC which includes a
microprocessor, an electronic impact sensor, an electronic safing sensor, and an energy storage
capacitor. A stamped metal cover plate is secured to the bottom of the ORC housing with screws to
enclose and protect the internal electronic circuitry and components.
An arrow (2) printed on the label (3) on the top of the ORC housing provides a visual verification of
the proper orientation of the unit, and should always be pointed toward the front of the vehicle. The
ORC housing has integral mounting flanges on three corners. The mounting flange to the right of
the connector receptacles (4) has an integral locating pin on its lower surface. Both right side
flanges have round mounting holes, while the flange on the left side has a slotted mounting hole. A
molded plastic electrical connector (4) with 2 receptacles, one containing 24 terminal pins and the
other containing 32 terminal pins, exits the forward facing side of the ORC housing. These terminal
pins connect the ORC to the vehicle electrical system through two dedicated take outs and
connectors, one each from the instrument panel and the body wire harnesses.
A molded plastic protective cover is installed over the ORC to provide additional moisture
contamination protection to the unit. Integral latch features on each side of the cover engage a slot
(5) on each side of the base of the ORC housing to secure the cover to the ORC. This protective
cover must be reinstalled following any service requiring its removal.
The impact sensor and safing sensor internal to the ORC are calibrated for the specific vehicle, and
are only serviced as a unit with the ORC. In addition, there are unique versions of the ORC for light
and heavy-duty vehicles, and for vehicles with or without the optional side curtain airbags. The
ORC cannot be repaired or adjusted and, if damaged or ineffective, it must be replaced.

Seat Occupant Classification Module - Air Bag: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The microprocessor in the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) contains the Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) logic circuits and controls all of the SRS components. The ORC uses
On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) and can communicate with other electronic modules in the vehicle as
well as with the diagnostic scan tool using the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus. This
method of communication is used for control of the airbag indicator in the ElectroMechanical
Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN) and for SRS
diagnosis and testing through the 16-way Data Link Connector (DLC) located on the driver side
lower edge of the instrument panel. See: Malfunction Lamp / Indicator/Description and
Operation/Operation .
The ORC microprocessor continuously monitors all of the SRS electrical circuits to determine the
system readiness. If the ORC detects a monitored system fault, it sets an active and stored
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) and sends electronic messages to the EMIC over the CAN data
bus to turn ON the airbag indicator. An active fault only remains for the duration of the fault, or in
some cases for the duration of the current ignition switch cycle, while a stored fault causes a DTC
to be stored in memory by the ORC. For some DTCs, if a fault does not recur for a number of
ignition cycles, the ORC will automatically erase the stored DTC. For other internal faults, the
stored DTC is latched forever.
In standard cab vehicles (except light-duty DR 1500), the ORC also monitors a resistor multiplexed
input from the passenger airbag on/off switch. If the passenger airbag on/off switch is set to the
OFF position, the ORC turns ON the passenger airbag on/off indicator and will internally disable
the passenger airbag and, on light-duty DR 1500 only, the seat belt tensioner from being deployed.
The ORC receives battery current through two circuits; a fused ignition switch output (run) circuit
through a fuse in the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM), and a fused ignition switch output
(run-start) circuit through a second fuse in the TIPM. The ORC receives ground through a ground
circuit and take out of the instrument panel wire harness. This take out has a single eyelet terminal
connector that is secured by a ground screw to the instrument panel structural support. These
connections allow the ORC to be operational whenever the ignition switch is in the START or ON
positions.
The ORC also contains an energy-storage capacitor. When the ignition switch is in the START or
ON positions, this capacitor is continually being charged with enough electrical energy to deploy
the SRS components for up to one second following a battery disconnect or failure. The purpose of
the capacitor is to provide backup SRS protection in case there is a loss of battery current supply to
the ORC during an impact.
Two sensors are contained within the ORC, an electronic impact sensor and a safing sensor. The
ORC also monitors inputs from two remote front impact sensors located on the back of the right
and left ends of the lower radiator crossmember near the front of the vehicle. The electronic impact
sensors are accelerometers that sense the rate of vehicle deceleration, which provide verification
of the direction and severity of an impact. On vehicles equipped with optional side curtain airbags
the ORC also monitors inputs from two additional remote impact sensors located within both the
left and right B-pillars to control deployment of the side curtain airbag units.
The safing sensor is an electronic accelerometer sensor within the ORC that provides an additional
logic input to the ORC microprocessor. The safing sensor is used to verify the need for a SRS
deployment by detecting impact energy of a lesser magnitude than that of the primary electronic
impact sensors, and must exceed a safing threshold in order for the airbags to deploy. Vehicles
equipped with optional side curtain airbags feature a second safing sensor within the ORC to
provide confirmation to the ORC microprocessor of side impact forces. This second safing sensor
is a bi-directional unit that detects impact forces from either side of the vehicle.
Pre-programmed decision algorithms in the ORC microprocessor determine when the deceleration
rate as signaled by the impact sensors and the safing sensors indicate an impact that is severe
enough to require SRS protection and, based upon the severity of the monitored impact,
determines the level of front airbag deployment force required for each front seating position. When
the programmed conditions are met, the ORC sends the proper electrical signals to deploy the dual
multistage front airbags at the programmed force levels and, if the vehicle is so equipped, the front
seat belt tensioners or either side curtain airbag unit. On standard cab vehicles except light-duty
DR 1500, the passenger front airbag will be deployed by the ORC only if enabled by the passenger
airbag on/off switch at the time of the impact.
The hard wired inputs and outputs for the ORC may be diagnosed using conventional diagnostic
tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information. However, conventional
diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the ORC or the electronic controls
or communication between other modules and devices that provide features of the SRS. The most
reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the ORC or the electronic controls and
communication related to ORC operation requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.

Malfunction Lamp / Indicator: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
An airbag indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. However, the instrument
cluster can be programmed to disable this indicator on vehicles that are not equipped with the
airbag system, which is not available in some markets. This indicator is located near the upper
edge of the instrument cluster, between the tachometer and the speedometer.
The airbag indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the International Control and Display Symbol
icon for Airbag in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the
overlay prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated. A red Light
Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the overlay causes the indicator to
appear in red through the translucent outer layer of the overlay when it is illuminated from behind
by the LED, which is soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
The airbag indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Malfunction Lamp / Indicator: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The airbag indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the airbag system, or a circuit
or component of the system is ineffective. The airbag indicator is controlled by a transistor on the
instrument cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received
by the cluster from the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) over the Controller Area Network
(CAN) data bus.
The airbag indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument cluster
logic circuit, and that logic will only allow this indicator to operate when the instrument cluster
receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the
LED will always be OFF when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED
only illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The
instrument cluster will turn ON the airbag indicator for the following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position the airbag indicator is
illuminated for about six to eight seconds. The entire bulb test is a function of the ORC.
- Airbag Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic airbag indicator
lamp-ON message from the ORC, the airbag indicator will be illuminated. The indicator remains
illuminated for about twelve seconds or until the cluster receives a lamp-OFF message from the
ORC, whichever is longer. This indicator will also be extinguished when the ignition switch is turned
to the OFF position.
Communication Error - If the cluster receives no lamp-ON or lamp-OFF messages from the ORC
for 10 consecutive message cycles, the airbag indicator is illuminated. The indicator remains
illuminated until the cluster receives a single lamp-OFF message from the ORC.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the airbag indicator will be
turned ON, then OFF again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of
the LED and the cluster control circuitry. The actuator test illumination of the airbag indicator is a
function of the instrument cluster.
The ORC continually monitors the airbag system circuits and sensors to decide whether the system
is in good operating condition. The ORC then sends the proper lamp-ON or lamp-OFF message to
the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment
Node/CCN). If the ORC sends a lamp-ON message after the bulb test, it indicates that the ORC
has detected a system malfunction or that the airbags and seat belt tensioners may not deploy
when required, or may deploy when not required. The ORC will store a Diagnostic Trouble Code
(DTC) for any malfunction it detects. Each time the airbag indicator fails to illuminate due to an
open or short in the cluster airbag indicator circuit, the cluster sends a message notifying the ORC
of the condition, the instrument cluster and the ORC will each store a DTC, and the cluster will
flash the seatbelt indicator ON and OFF as a backup to notify the vehicle operator.
For proper diagnosis of the airbag system, the ORC, the EMIC, the CAN data bus or the electronic
communication related to airbag indicator operation a diagnostic scan tool is required. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.

Seat Occupant Classification Module - Air Bag: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) (1) is located in the passenger compartment of the
vehicle, where it is secured by three nuts to three studs on a stamped steel mounting bracket
welded onto the top of the floor panel transmission tunnel under the center front seat section or the
center floor console, as the vehicle is equipped. Concealed within a hollow in the center of the die
cast aluminum ORC housing is the electronic circuitry of the ORC which includes a
microprocessor, an electronic impact sensor, an electronic safing sensor, and an energy storage
capacitor. A stamped metal cover plate is secured to the bottom of the ORC housing with screws to
enclose and protect the internal electronic circuitry and components.
An arrow (2) printed on the label (3) on the top of the ORC housing provides a visual verification of
the proper orientation of the unit, and should always be pointed toward the front of the vehicle. The
ORC housing has integral mounting flanges on three corners. The mounting flange to the right of
the connector receptacles (4) has an integral locating pin on its lower surface. Both right side
flanges have round mounting holes, while the flange on the left side has a slotted mounting hole. A
molded plastic electrical connector (4) with 2 receptacles, one containing 24 terminal pins and the
other containing 32 terminal pins, exits the forward facing side of the ORC housing. These terminal
pins connect the ORC to the vehicle electrical system through two dedicated take outs and
connectors, one each from the instrument panel and the body wire harnesses.
A molded plastic protective cover is installed over the ORC to provide additional moisture
contamination protection to the unit. Integral latch features on each side of the cover engage a slot
(5) on each side of the base of the ORC housing to secure the cover to the ORC. This protective
cover must be reinstalled following any service requiring its removal.
The impact sensor and safing sensor internal to the ORC are calibrated for the specific vehicle, and
are only serviced as a unit with the ORC. In addition, there are unique versions of the ORC for light
and heavy-duty vehicles, and for vehicles with or without the optional side curtain airbags. The
ORC cannot be repaired or adjusted and, if damaged or ineffective, it must be replaced.

Seat Occupant Classification Module - Air Bag: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The microprocessor in the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) contains the Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) logic circuits and controls all of the SRS components. The ORC uses
On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) and can communicate with other electronic modules in the vehicle as
well as with the diagnostic scan tool using the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus. This
method of communication is used for control of the airbag indicator in the ElectroMechanical
Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN) and for SRS
diagnosis and testing through the 16-way Data Link Connector (DLC) located on the driver side
lower edge of the instrument panel. See: Air Bag Systems/Malfunction Lamp / Indicator/Description
and Operation/Operation .
The ORC microprocessor continuously monitors all of the SRS electrical circuits to determine the
system readiness. If the ORC detects a monitored system fault, it sets an active and stored
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) and sends electronic messages to the EMIC over the CAN data
bus to turn ON the airbag indicator. An active fault only remains for the duration of the fault, or in
some cases for the duration of the current ignition switch cycle, while a stored fault causes a DTC
to be stored in memory by the ORC. For some DTCs, if a fault does not recur for a number of
ignition cycles, the ORC will automatically erase the stored DTC. For other internal faults, the
stored DTC is latched forever.
In standard cab vehicles (except light-duty DR 1500), the ORC also monitors a resistor multiplexed
input from the passenger airbag on/off switch. If the passenger airbag on/off switch is set to the
OFF position, the ORC turns ON the passenger airbag on/off indicator and will internally disable
the passenger airbag and, on light-duty DR 1500 only, the seat belt tensioner from being deployed.
The ORC receives battery current through two circuits; a fused ignition switch output (run) circuit
through a fuse in the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM), and a fused ignition switch output
(run-start) circuit through a second fuse in the TIPM. The ORC receives ground through a ground
circuit and take out of the instrument panel wire harness. This take out has a single eyelet terminal
connector that is secured by a ground screw to the instrument panel structural support. These
connections allow the ORC to be operational whenever the ignition switch is in the START or ON
positions.
The ORC also contains an energy-storage capacitor. When the ignition switch is in the START or
ON positions, this capacitor is continually being charged with enough electrical energy to deploy
the SRS components for up to one second following a battery disconnect or failure. The purpose of
the capacitor is to provide backup SRS protection in case there is a loss of battery current supply to
the ORC during an impact.
Two sensors are contained within the ORC, an electronic impact sensor and a safing sensor. The
ORC also monitors inputs from two remote front impact sensors located on the back of the right
and left ends of the lower radiator crossmember near the front of the vehicle. The electronic impact
sensors are accelerometers that sense the rate of vehicle deceleration, which provide verification
of the direction and severity of an impact. On vehicles equipped with optional side curtain airbags
the ORC also monitors inputs from two additional remote impact sensors located within both the
left and right B-pillars to control deployment of the side curtain airbag units.
The safing sensor is an electronic accelerometer sensor within the ORC that provides an additional
logic input to the ORC microprocessor. The safing sensor is used to verify the need for a SRS
deployment by detecting impact energy of a lesser magnitude than that of the primary electronic
impact sensors, and must exceed a safing threshold in order for the airbags to deploy. Vehicles
equipped with optional side curtain airbags feature a second safing sensor within the ORC to
provide confirmation to the ORC microprocessor of side impact forces. This second safing sensor
is a bi-directional unit that detects impact forces from either side of the vehicle.
Pre-programmed decision algorithms in the ORC microprocessor determine when the deceleration
rate as signaled by the impact sensors and the safing sensors indicate an impact that is severe
enough to require SRS protection and, based upon the severity of the monitored impact,
determines the level of front airbag deployment force required for each front seating position. When
the programmed conditions are met, the ORC sends the proper electrical signals to deploy the dual
multistage front airbags at the programmed force levels and, if the vehicle is so equipped, the front
seat belt tensioners or either side curtain airbag unit. On standard cab vehicles except light-duty
DR 1500, the passenger front airbag will be deployed by the ORC only if enabled by the passenger
airbag on/off switch at the time of the impact.
The hard wired inputs and outputs for the ORC may be diagnosed using conventional diagnostic
tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information. However, conventional
diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the ORC or the electronic controls
or communication between other modules and devices that provide features of the SRS. The most
reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the ORC or the electronic controls and
communication related to ORC operation requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.

Child Seat Tether Attachment: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION
Except for the light-duty DR 1500, this vehicle is equipped with a Lower Anchors and Tether for
Children, or LATCH child restraint anchorage system. The LATCH system provides for the
installation of suitable child restraints in certain seating positions without using the standard
equipment seat belt provided for that seating position.
Standard cab vehicles are equipped with a fixed-position child restraint upper tether anchor for the
front center and outboard seating positions (2); and, except light-duty DR 1500, child restraint lower
anchors for the front outboard seating position (1).
Quad cab vehicles are equipped with a fixed-position child restraint upper tether anchor strap for
the rear center and both rear outboard seating positions (2), and child restraint lower anchors for
both rear outboard seating positions (1). All front seat child restraint anchors are deleted on quad
cabs.

Component Information > Description and Operation > Page 12312
Mega cab vehicles are also equipped with a fixed-position child restraint upper tether anchor strap
for the rear center and both rear outboard seating positions (2), but have child restraint lower
anchors for all three rear seating positions (1). As on quad cabs, all front seat child restraint
anchors are deleted on mega cab vehicles.
The two upper tether anchors (3) for standard cabs are integral to the upper cab back panel
reinforcement and are concealed behind individual trim cover and bezel units (1) that are integral to
the cab back trim panel (2). These upper tether anchors cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if
ineffective or damaged, they must be replaced as a unit with the upper cab back panel
reinforcement. The upper tether anchor trim covers and bezels are serviced as a unit with the cab
back trim panel.
The three upper tether anchor straps (1) for quad cab and mega cab vehicles are secured to the
upper cab back panel (2) reinforcement with screws (3). These anchor straps are concealed behind
the upright rear seat back. The upper tether anchor straps are available for individual service
replacement.

The lower anchors (2) for all vehicles (except light-duty DR 1500 standard cab) are integral to their
respective front or rear seat cushion frame. Round markers (3) with an imprinted child seat icon on
the standard cab front seat back trim cover helps identify the anchor locations for that application
because they may be otherwise difficult to see with the seat back in the upright position. These
lower anchors are each constructed from round steel bar stock that is formed into a U-shape, then
securely welded at each end to the seat cushion frame. They are each accessed from the front of
their respective seats, at each side where the seat back meets the seat cushion. These lower
anchors cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, they must be replaced as a
unit with the seat cushion frame.
On quad cab or mega cab vehicles, if the rear seat lower anchors (2) have been bent or broken as
a result of a vehicle collision, the latch for the affected rear seat cushion frame unit must also be
replaced.
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury during and following any seat belt or child restraint
anchor service, carefully inspect all seat belts, buckles, mounting hardware, retractors, tether
straps, and anchors for proper installation, operation, or damage. Replace any belt that is cut,

mechanism (7) as standard equipment. However, the retractor locking mechanisms for all seating
positions except the driver side front position are mechanically switchable from an emergency
locking retractor to an automatic locking retractor. The primary function of this feature is to securely
accommodate a child seat in any seating position of the vehicle without the need for a self-cinching
seat belt tip half latch plate unit or another supplemental device that would be required to prevent
the seat belt webbing from unwinding freely from the retractor spool of an inertia-type emergency
locking retractor mechanism.
The automatic locking mechanism is integral to the seat belt and retractor unit and is concealed
beneath a molded plastic cover located on one side of the retractor spool. The automatic locking
mechanism cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, the entire passenger
side front seat belt and retractor unit must be replaced.

Seat Belt: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The locked mode of the automatic locking retractor is engaged and the retractor is switched from
operating as a standard inertia-type emergency locking retractor by first buckling the combination
lap and shoulder belt buckle. Then grasp the shoulder belt and pull all of the webbing out of the
retractor. Once all of the belt webbing is extracted from the spool, the retractor will automatically
become engaged in the pre-locked automatic locking mode and will make a light, audible clicking
or ratcheting sound as the shoulder belt is allowed to retract to confirm that the automatic locking
mode is now engaged. Once the automatic locking mode is engaged, the retractor will remain
locked and the belt will remain tight around whatever it is restraining.
The retractor is returned to standard emergency locking (inertia) mode by unbuckling the
combination lap and shoulder belt buckle and allowing the belt webbing to be almost fully retracted
onto the retractor spool. The emergency locking mode is confirmed by the absence of the light,
audible clicking or ratcheting sound as the belt webbing retracts. This mode will allow the belt to
unwind from and wind onto the retractor spool freely unless and until a predetermined inertia load
is sensed, or until the retractor is again switched to the automatic locking mode.

Seat Belt Buckle Switch: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
All vehicles are equipped with a driver side seat belt switch that is a small, normally open, single
pole, single throw, leaf contact, momentary switch. The driver side seat belt switch is integral to the
buckle (1) of the driver side front seat belt buckle, which is located on a stamped steel stanchion
secured by a screw (3) to the inboard side of the driver side front seat cushion frame.
The seat belt switch is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a two-lead pigtail wire
and connector (4) on the seat belt buckle-half, which is connected to a wire harness connector and
take out of the seat wire harness routed beneath the driver side front seat cushion in the passenger
compartment.
The seat belt switch cannot be adjusted or repaired. If ineffective or damaged, the entire driver side
front seat belt buckle-half unit must be replaced.

Seat Belt Buckle Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The driver side seat belt switch is designed to control a path to ground for the seat belt switch
sense input of the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab
Compartment Node/CCN). When the driver side front seat belt tip-half is inserted into the seat belt
buckle, the switch closes the path to ground; and, when the driver side front seat belt tip-half is
removed from the seat belt buckle, the switch opens the ground path. The switch is actuated by the
latch mechanism within the seat belt buckle.
The seat belt switch is connected in series between ground and the seat belt switch sense input of
the instrument cluster. The seat belt switch receives ground at all times through its pigtail wire
connection to the seat wire harness from a take out of the body wire harness. An eyelet terminal
connector on the body wire harness ground take out is secured beneath a ground screw on the left
cowl side inner panel, beneath the instrument panel.
The seat belt switch as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the switch may be diagnosed
using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.

The seatbelt indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the International Control and Display
Symbol icon for Seat Belt in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer
layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated. A red
Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the overlay causes the
indicator to appear in red through the translucent outer layer of the overlay when it is illuminated
from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
The seatbelt indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Seat Belt Reminder Lamp: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The seatbelt indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator of the status of the driver side front
seatbelt. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument cluster circuit board based
upon cluster programming and a hard wired input from the seatbelt switch in the driver side front
seatbelt buckle through the seat belt indicator driver circuit.
The seatbelt indicator also includes a programmable enhanced seatbelt reminder or BELTMINDER
feature that is enabled when the vehicle is shipped from the factory. This BELTMINDER feature
can be disabled and enabled by the customer using a specific programming event sequence, or by
the dealer using a diagnostic scan tool.
The seatbelt indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument cluster
logic circuit, and that logic will only allow this indicator to operate when the instrument cluster
receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the
LED will always be OFF when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED
only illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The
instrument cluster will turn ON the seatbelt indicator for the following reasons:
Seatbelt Reminder Function - Each time the cluster receives a battery current input on the fused
ignition switch output (run-start) circuit, the indicator will be illuminated as a seatbelt reminder for
about six seconds, or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
This reminder function will occur regardless of the status of the seatbelt switch input to the cluster.
- Driver Side Front Seatbelt Not Buckled - Beltminder Active - Following the seatbelt reminder
function, each time the cluster detects an open circuit on the seat belt indicator driver circuit
(seatbelt switch open = seatbelt unbuckled) with the ignition switch in the START or ON positions,
the indicator will be illuminated. In addition, if the driver side front seat belt remains unbuckled
about 60 seconds after the conclusion of the seatbelt reminder function with the vehicle speed
greater than about 8 kilometers-per-hour (5 miles-per-hour), the seatbelt indicator will begin to
cycle between flashing ON and OFF for 3 seconds, then lighting solid for 2 seconds. The seatbelt
indicator will continue to cycle between flashing and solid illumination for 13 complete cycles, until
the seat belt indicator driver input to the cluster is closed to ground (seatbelt switch closed =
seatbelt buckled), or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Driver Side Front Seatbelt Not Buckled - Beltminder Inactive - Following the seatbelt reminder
function, each time the cluster detects an open circuit on the seat belt indicator driver circuit
(seatbelt switch open = seatbelt unbuckled) with the ignition switch in the START or ON positions,
the indicator will be illuminated. The seatbelt indicator remains illuminated until the seat belt
indicator driver input to the cluster is closed to ground (seatbelt switch closed = seatbelt buckled),
or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Airbag Indicator Backup - If the instrument cluster detects a fault in the airbag indicator circuit it
will send an electronic message indicating the fault to the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC),
then flash the seatbelt indicator ON and OFF. The cluster will continue to flash the indicator until
the airbag indicator circuit fault is resolved, or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position,
whichever occurs first.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the seatbelt indicator will be
turned ON, then OFF again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of
the LED and the cluster control circuitry.
The seatbelt switch is connected in series between ground and the seat belt indicator driver input
to the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment
Node/CCN). The hard wired seatbelt switch input to the EMIC may be diagnosed using
conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.

Seat Belt Retractor: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The seat belt retractors used in all seating positions include an inertia-type, emergency locking
mechanism (7) as standard equipment. However, the retractor locking mechanisms for all seating
positions except the driver side front position are mechanically switchable from an emergency
locking retractor to an automatic locking retractor. The primary function of this feature is to securely
accommodate a child seat in any seating position of the vehicle without the need for a self-cinching
seat belt tip half latch plate unit or another supplemental device that would be required to prevent
the seat belt webbing from unwinding freely from the retractor spool of an inertia-type emergency
locking retractor mechanism.
The automatic locking mechanism is integral to the seat belt and retractor unit and is concealed
beneath a molded plastic cover located on one side of the retractor spool. The automatic locking
mechanism cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, the entire passenger
side front seat belt and retractor unit must be replaced.

Seat Belt Retractor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The locked mode of the automatic locking retractor is engaged and the retractor is switched from
operating as a standard inertia-type emergency locking retractor by first buckling the combination
lap and shoulder belt buckle. Then grasp the shoulder belt and pull all of the webbing out of the
retractor. Once all of the belt webbing is extracted from the spool, the retractor will automatically
become engaged in the pre-locked automatic locking mode and will make a light, audible clicking
or ratcheting sound as the shoulder belt is allowed to retract to confirm that the automatic locking
mode is now engaged. Once the automatic locking mode is engaged, the retractor will remain
locked and the belt will remain tight around whatever it is restraining.
The retractor is returned to standard emergency locking (inertia) mode by unbuckling the
combination lap and shoulder belt buckle and allowing the belt webbing to be almost fully retracted
onto the retractor spool. The emergency locking mode is confirmed by the absence of the light,
audible clicking or ratcheting sound as the belt webbing retracts. This mode will allow the belt to
unwind from and wind onto the retractor spool freely unless and until a predetermined inertia load
is sensed, or until the retractor is again switched to the automatic locking mode.

Seat Belt Tensioner: Description and Operation Seat Belt-Tensioner
Description
DESCRIPTION
Seat belt tensioners supplement the dual front airbags for the light-duty DR 1500 vehicles. The
seat belt tensioners are integral to the front outboard seat belt retractor units, which are secured to
the inner B-pillar on the right and left sides of the vehicle. The retractor is concealed beneath the
molded plastic inner B-pillar trim.
The seat belt tensioner consists primarily of a sprocket/pinion, a steel tube, a cast metal housing,
numerous steel balls, a stamped metal ball trap, a torsion bar and a small pyrotechnically activated
gas generator with a connector receptacle. All of these components are located on one side of the
retractor spool on the outside of the retractor housing except for the torsion bar, which serves as
the spindle upon which the retractor spool rides. The seat belt tensioners are controlled by the
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) and are connected to the vehicle electrical system through a
dedicated take out of the body wire harness by a keyed and latching yellow molded plastic
connector insulator to ensure a secure connection.
The seat belt tensioners cannot be repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, the entire front seat belt
and retractor unit must be replaced. If the front airbags have been deployed, the seat belt
tensioners have also been deployed. The seat belt tensioners are not intended for reuse and must
be replaced following any front airbag deployment. A growling or grinding sound while attempting to
operate the seat belt retractor is a sure indication that the seat belt tensioner has been deployed
and requires replacement. See: Seat Belt Retractor/Service and Repair/Seat Belt and Retractor Removal .
Operation
OPERATION
The seat belt tensioners are deployed in conjunction with the dual front airbags by a signal
generated by the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) through the driver or passenger seat belt
tensioner line 1 and line 2 (or squib) circuits. When the ORC sends the proper electrical signal to
the tensioners, the electrical energy generates enough heat to initiate a small pyrotechnic gas
generator.
The gas generator is installed in one end of a steel tube that contains numerous steel balls. As the
gas expands, it pushes the steel balls through the tube into a cast metal housing, where a ball
guide directs the balls into engagement with the teeth of a sprocket that is geared to one end of the
retractor spool. As the balls drive past the sprocket, the sprocket turns and drives the seat belt
retractor spool causing the slack to be removed from the front seat belts. The ball trap captures the
balls as they leave the sprocket and are expelled from the housing.
Removing excess slack from the front seat belts not only keeps the occupants properly positioned
for an airbag deployment following a frontal impact of the vehicle, but also helps to reduce injuries
that the occupant might experience in these situations as a result of harmful contact with the
steering wheel, steering column, instrument panel or windshield. Also, the seat belt tensioner
torsion bar that the retractor spool rides upon is designed to deform in order to control the loading
being applied to the occupants by the seat belts during a frontal impact, further reducing the
potential for occupant injuries.
The ORC monitors the condition of the seat belt tensioners through circuit resistance, and will
illuminate the airbag indicator in the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as
the Cab Compartment Node/CCN) and store a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for any fault that is
detected. Proper diagnosis of the seat belt tensioner gas generator and the seat belt tensioner
squib circuits requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic
information.

Seat Belt Tensioner: Description and Operation Seat Belt Tension Reducer
Description
DESCRIPTION
A seat belt tension reducer is standard equipment for the driver side front outboard seat belt on
standard cab versions of this vehicle. The tension reducer is integral to the retractor unit, which is
secured to the inner B-pillar on the left side of the vehicle. The retractor is concealed beneath the
molded plastic inner B-pillar trim.
The seat belt tension reducer consists primarily of a 12-volt Direct Current (DC) solenoid and an
integral connector receptacle that is located on the forward facing end housing of the retractor. The
seat belt tension reducer is controlled by a battery current output of the ignition switch and a
ground path provided by the seat belt switch, and is connected to the vehicle electrical system
through a dedicated take out of the body wire harness by a keyed and latching molded plastic
connector insulator to ensure a secure connection.
The seat belt tension reducer cannot be repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, the entire driver
side front outboard seat belt and retractor unit must be replaced. See: Seat Belt Retractor/Service
and Repair/Seat Belt and Retractor - Removal .
Operation
OPERATION
The seat belt tension reducer is controlled by a ground signal received from the seat belt switch on
the seat belt switch sense circuit and a battery current signal received from the ignition switch on
the fused ignition switch output (run-accessory) circuit. When the seat belt switch is closed (the
driver side front seat belt is fastened) and the ignition switch is in the ON or ACCESSORY
positions, the seat belt tension reducer solenoid is energized.
When the solenoid is energized, it actuates a mechanism within the driver side front outboard seat
belt retractor to reduce the normal recoil spring tension exerted by the retractor spool, which is
designed to reel in the seat belt webbing onto the spool. When the driver side seat belt is
unbuckled or if the ignition switch is turned to any position except ON or ACCESSORY, the tension
reducer solenoid is de-energized and the normal recoil spring tension of the retractor is restored.
The action of the seat belt tension reducer results in improved seat belt comfort for the driver.
Reducing the seat belt retractor recoil spring tension is desirable on standard cab versions of this
vehicle and not on the quad cab or mega cab versions due to the different mounting position
required for the seat belt turning loop on the B-pillar relative to the driver seat position on the
standard cab.
The seat belt tension reducer as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the tension reducer
may be diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate
wiring information.

Seat Belt Tensioner: Testing and Inspection
SEAT BELT TENSION REDUCER
Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper
wire and connector repair procedures, details of wire harness routing and retention, connector
pin-out information and location views for the various wire harness connectors, splices and
grounds.
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before attempting any steering wheel, steering column,
airbag, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service.
Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system
capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to
disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag
deployment.
1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable. Disconnect the body wire harness connector
for the seat belt tension reducer from the tension
reducer connector receptacle on the driver side front outboard seat belt and retractor unit. Using an
ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the seat belt switch sense circuit terminal pin and the
fused ignition switch output (run-accessory) circuit terminal pin in the tension reducer connector
receptacle on the retractor. Resistance through the tension reducer solenoid coil should be 53
ohms at 20° C (68° F). If OK, go to STEP 2. If not OK, replace the ineffective driver side front
outboard seat belt and retractor unit.
2. Check for continuity between the seat belt switch sense circuit cavity of the body wire harness
connector for the seat belt tension reducer and a
good ground. There should be continuity with the driver side front seat belt buckled, and no
continuity with the driver side front seat belt unbuckled. If OK, go to STEP 3. If not OK, repair the
shorted or open seat belt switch sense circuit between the tension reducer and the seat belt switch
as required.
3. Reconnect the battery negative cable. Check for battery current at the fused ignition switch
output (run-accessory) circuit of the body wire harness
connector for the seat belt tension reducer. There should be battery current with the ignition switch
in the ON or ACCESSORY positions, and no battery current with the ignition switch in any other
position. If not OK, repair the shorted or open fused ignition switch output (run-accessory) circuit
between the tension reducer and the ignition switch as required.

Air Bag Deactivation Switch: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The passenger airbag on/off switch (1) is standard equipment on all standard cab versions of this
vehicle (except light-duty DR 1500) equipped with the dual front airbag system. This switch is a
two-position, resistor multiplexed switch with a single integral amber Light-Emitting Diode (LED),
and a non-coded key cylinder-type actuator. The switch is located in the lower right corner of the
instrument panel center bezel, near the center of the instrument panel.
When the switch is in its installed position, the only components visible through the dedicated
opening of the center bezel are the switch bezel (2) and lens, the nomenclature imprinted on the
lens, and the key cylinder actuator (3). The OFF position nomenclature of the switch is illuminated
and visible only when that switch position is selected. The ON position of the switch is neither
visible or illuminated but can be determined by the orientation of the slot of the key cylinder
actuator. The remainder of the switch is concealed behind the switch bezel and the instrument
panel center bezel.
The passenger airbag on/off switch housing is constructed of molded plastic and has three integral
mounting tabs. These mounting tabs are used to secure the switch to the back of the molded
plastic switch bezel with three small screws. The molded plastic switch bezel also has three
integral mounting tabs that are used to secure the switch and bezel unit to the instrument panel
center bezel with three additional screws.
A molded plastic connector receptacle on the back of the switch housing connects the switch to the
vehicle electrical system through a dedicated take out and connector of the instrument panel wire
harness. The molded plastic harness connector insulator is keyed and latched to ensure proper
and secure switch electrical connections.
The passenger airbag on/off switch cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged,
the switch must be replaced.

Air Bag Deactivation Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The passenger airbag on/off switch allows the customer to turn the passenger airbag function ON
or OFF to accommodate certain uses of the right front seating position where airbag protection may
not be desired.
The OFF indicator of the switch will be illuminated whenever the switch is turned to the OFF
position and the ignition switch is in the ON position.
The ignition key is the only key or object that should ever be inserted into the key cylinder actuator
of the switch. The on/off switch requires only a partial key insertion to fully depress a spring-loaded
locking plunger. The spring-loaded locking plunger prevents the user from leaving the key in the
switch. The key will be automatically ejected when force is not applied. To actuate the passenger
airbag on/off switch, insert the ignition key into the switch key actuator far enough to fully depress
the plunger, then rotate the actuator to the desired switch position.
When the switch key actuator is rotated to its clockwise stop (the key actuator slot will be aligned
with the OFF nomenclature), the OFF indicator is illuminated and the passenger airbag is disabled.
When the switch is rotated to its counterclockwise stop (the key actuator slot will be in a vertical
position) the OFF indicator will be extinguished and the passenger airbag is enabled. The OFF
indicator and the enabling or disabling of the passenger airbag is controlled electronically by the
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) based upon inputs it receives from the on/off switch.
The passenger airbag on/off switch connects one of two internal resistors in series between the
passenger airbag mux switch sense and passenger airbag mux switch return circuits of the ORC.
The ORC continually monitors the resistance in these circuits to determine the switch position that
has been selected. When the switch is in the OFF position, the ORC provides a ground input to the
OFF indicator through the passenger airbag indicator driver circuit, which energizes the
Light-Emitting Diode (LED) that illuminates the indicator. The ORC will store a Diagnostic Trouble
Code (DTC) for any fault it detects in the passenger airbag on/off switch or OFF indicator circuits,
and will illuminate the airbag indicator in the instrument cluster if a fault is detected.
The hard wired circuits between the passenger airbag on/off switch and the ORC may be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. However, conventional diagnostic
methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the passenger airbag on/off switch or the
electronic controls and communication between other modules and devices that provide some
features of the supplemental restraint system. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to
diagnose the passenger airbag on/off switch or the electronic controls and communication related
to passenger airbag on/off switch operation requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.

Impact Sensor: Description and Operation Description
Front
FRONT
Two front impact sensors (1) are used on this vehicle, one each for the left and right sides of the
vehicle. These sensors are mounted remotely from the impact sensor that is internal to the
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC). Each front impact sensor is secured with a screw to the back
of the right or left end of the lower radiator crossmember within the engine compartment. The
sensor housing has an integral connector receptacle (4), an integral anti-rotation pin (3), and an
integral mounting hole (2) with a metal sleeve to provide crush protection.
The right and left front impact sensors are identical in construction and calibration. A cavity in the
center of the molded black plastic impact sensor housing contains the electronic circuitry of the
sensor which includes an electronic communication 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 vehicle electrical system through a dedicated take
out and connector of the headlamp and dash wire harness.
The front impact sensors cannot be repaired or adjusted and, if damaged or ineffective, they must
be replaced.
Side
SIDE
Two side impact sensors (1) are used on this vehicle when it is equipped with the optional side
curtain airbags, one each for the left and right sides of the vehicle. These sensors are mounted
remotely from the impact sensor that is internal to the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC). Each
side sensor is secured with a nut within the right or left B-pillar just above the front seat belt
retractors and behind the lower B-pillar trim within the passenger compartment. The sensor
housing has an integral connector receptacle (2), an integral mounting stud (3), and an integral
anti-rotation pin.
The right and left side impact sensors are identical in construction and calibration. A cavity in the
center of the molded plastic impact sensor housing contains the electronic circuitry of the sensor
which includes an electronic communication chip and an electronic impact sensor. Potting material
fills the cavity to seal and protect the internal electronic circuitry and components. The side impact
sensors are each connected to the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated take out and
connector of the body wire harness.

Impact Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
Front
FRONT
The front impact sensors are electronic accelerometers that sense the rate of vehicle deceleration,
which provides verification of the direction and severity of an impact. Each sensor also contains an
electronic communication chip that allows the unit to communicate the sensor status as well as
sensor fault information to the microprocessor in the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC).
The ORC microprocessor continuously monitors all of the passive restraint system electrical
circuits to determine the system readiness. If the ORC detects a monitored system fault, it sets a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) and controls the airbag indicator operation accordingly. The impact
sensors each receive battery current and ground through dedicated left and right sensor plus and
minus circuits from the ORC. The impact sensors and the ORC communicate by modulating the
voltage in the sensor plus circuit.
The hard wired circuits between the front impact sensors and the ORC may be diagnosed using
conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the impact
sensors or the electronic controls or communication between other modules and devices that
provide features of the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS). The most reliable, efficient, and
accurate means to diagnose the impact sensors or the electronic controls and communication
related to front impact sensor operation requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.

Seat Belt Buckle Switch: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
All vehicles are equipped with a driver side seat belt switch that is a small, normally open, single
pole, single throw, leaf contact, momentary switch. The driver side seat belt switch is integral to the
buckle (1) of the driver side front seat belt buckle, which is located on a stamped steel stanchion
secured by a screw (3) to the inboard side of the driver side front seat cushion frame.
The seat belt switch is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a two-lead pigtail wire
and connector (4) on the seat belt buckle-half, which is connected to a wire harness connector and
take out of the seat wire harness routed beneath the driver side front seat cushion in the passenger
compartment.
The seat belt switch cannot be adjusted or repaired. If ineffective or damaged, the entire driver side
front seat belt buckle-half unit must be replaced.

Seat Belt Buckle Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The driver side seat belt switch is designed to control a path to ground for the seat belt switch
sense input of the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab
Compartment Node/CCN). When the driver side front seat belt tip-half is inserted into the seat belt
buckle, the switch closes the path to ground; and, when the driver side front seat belt tip-half is
removed from the seat belt buckle, the switch opens the ground path. The switch is actuated by the
latch mechanism within the seat belt buckle.
The seat belt switch is connected in series between ground and the seat belt switch sense input of
the instrument cluster. The seat belt switch receives ground at all times through its pigtail wire
connection to the seat wire harness from a take out of the body wire harness. An eyelet terminal
connector on the body wire harness ground take out is secured beneath a ground screw on the left
cowl side inner panel, beneath the instrument panel.
The seat belt switch as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the switch may be diagnosed
using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.

Alarm System Transponder: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
Each ignition key (2) used in the Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) has a transponder chip
included on the circuit board (4) beneath the cover (1) of the integral Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter (3). In addition to having to be cut to match the mechanical coding of the ignition lock
cylinder and programmed for operation of the RKE system, each new Sentry Key has a unique
transponder identification code that is permanently programmed into it by the manufacturer, and
which must be programmed into the Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM) (also known as
the Wireless Control Module/WCM) to be recognized by the SKIS as a valid key.
The Sentry Key transponder cannot be adjusted or repaired. If ineffective or damaged, the entire
key and RKE transmitter unit must be replaced.

Alarm System Transponder: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
When the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, the Sentry Key REmote Entry Module
(SKREEM) (also known as the Wireless Control Module/WCM) communicates through its antenna
with the Sentry Key transponder using a Radio Frequency (RF) signal. The SKREEM then listens
for a RF response from the transponder through the same antenna. The Sentry Key transponder
chip is within the range of the SKREEM transceiver antenna ring when it is inserted into the ignition
lock cylinder. The SKREEM determines whether a valid key is present in the ignition lock cylinder
based upon the response from the transponder. If a valid key is detected, that fact is
communicated by the SKREEM to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM)/Engine Control Module
(ECM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus, and the PCM/ECM allows the engine to
continue running. If the PCM/ECM receives an invalid key message, or receives no message from
the SKREEM over the CAN data bus, the engine will be disabled after about two seconds of
operation. The ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment
Node/CCN) will also respond to the invalid key message on the CAN data bus by flashing the
security indicator ON and OFF.
Each Sentry Key has a unique transponder identification code permanently programmed into it by
the manufacturer. Likewise, the SKREEM has a unique Secret Key code programmed into it by the
manufacturer. When a Sentry Key is programmed into the memory of the SKREEM, the SKREEM
stores the transponder identification code from the Sentry Key, and the Sentry Key learns the
Secret Key code from the SKREEM. Once the Sentry Key learns the Secret Key code of the
SKREEM, it is permanently stored in the memory of the transponder. Therefore, once a Sentry Key
has been programmed to a particular vehicle, it cannot be used on any other vehicle. .
The SKIS performs a self-test each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, and will
store key-related fault information in the form of a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) in SKREEM
memory if a Sentry Key transponder problem is detected. The Sentry Key transponder chip can be
diagnosed, and any stored DTC can be retrieved using a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.

Hood Sensor/Switch (For Alarm): Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The hood ajar switch is a normally closed, single pole, spring-loaded plunger actuated switch. This
switch has two unique versions that are used in two different applications. One switch is used only
on vehicles equipped with the Vehicle Theft Alarm (VTA) system for sale in certain export markets
where protection of the underhood area is required equipment. The second switch is used only on
domestic vehicles equipped with an optional remote starter system.
The molded plastic switch body (5) has an integral molded connector receptacle (1) on the lower
end containing two terminal pins. The switch is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a
dedicated take out of the headlamp and dash wire harness. Two integral latches (2) lock the switch
into a keyed mounting hole in the stamped steel switch mounting bracket. The mounting bracket is
secured with screws to the inboard side of the right front fender load beam within the engine
compartment. A molded plastic striker secured to the underside of the hood panel inner
reinforcement actuates the switch plunger as the hood panel is closed.
The switch plunger (3) extends through a mounting collar (4) and a sleeve-like retainer ring on the
upper end of the switch body. The retainer ring has a one time, self-adjustment feature that is
activated after the switch is installed by closing the hood. The retainer ring is also color-coded to
aid in identifying the switch application. A dark brown retainer ring identifies the underhood security
switch application, while a white retainer ring identifies the remote starter system application.
An installed hood ajar switch cannot be readjusted or repaired. If the switch is damaged,
ineffective, or requires readjustment, it must be replaced with a new unit. The hood ajar switch
striker is not intended for reuse. If the striker is removed from the hood inner reinforcement for any
reason, it must be replaced with a new unit.

Hood Sensor/Switch (For Alarm): Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The hood ajar switches are interchangeable physically, but not functionally. In each case, the hood
ajar switch is a normally closed switch that is held open as the spring-loaded switch plunger is
depressed by the striker on the inner hood panel reinforcement 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.
In the underhood security application (export vehicles only - dark brown retainer ring), the switch is
connected in series between ground and the hood ajar switch sense input of the Totally Integrated
Power Module (TIPM). The TIPM uses an internal resistor pull up to monitor the state of the hood
ajar switch contacts.
In the remote starter system application (domestic vehicles only - white retainer ring) the switch has
a 1 kilohm diagnostic resistor connected in parallel to the switch contacts between the two switch
terminals. The switch is connected in series between an output of the TIPM and the hood ajar
switch sense input of the TIPM. The TIPM continually monitors this circuit and will store a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for any fault that it detects.
The components of the switch self-adjustment feature include an integral stop on the shaft of the
plunger and a ribbed, ratcheting sleeve-like retainer ring at the top of the switch body from which
the plunger extends. With the switch mounting collar secured in its mounting bracket, the plunger is
depressed by the striker on the hood inner reinforcement as the hood is closed. As the plunger is
depressed, the plunger stop contacts the top of the retainer ring and it is driven downward,
ratcheting through the switch mounting collar until the hood is fully closed and latched. The ribs on
the retainer ring are engaged within the mounting collar to maintain this adjusted position.
The hood ajar switch as well as the hard wired circuits between the switch and the TIPM may be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information. However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of
the electronic controls or communication between modules and other devices related to hood ajar
switch operation that provide some features of the export vehicle theft or domestic remote starter
systems. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the electronic controls and
communication related to hood ajar switch operation requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool.
Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

DESCRIPTION
When an RKE lock message is sent to the instrument cluster, the instrument cluster actuates the
door locks, the interior lighting is turned off, the horn chirps (if this feature is enabled), the park
lamps flash (if this feature is enabled) and, if the vehicle is so equipped, the Vehicle Theft Security
System (VTSS) is armed. When an RKE unlock message is sent to the instrument cluster, the
instrument cluster actuates the driver side front door (or all doors if this feature is enabled) unlock,
the interior lighting is turned on and, if the vehicle is so equipped, the VTSS is disarmed.
When an RKE panic message is sent to the instrument cluster, the instrument cluster actuates the
driver side front door (or all doors if this feature is enabled) unlock, the interior lighting is turned on
and, if the vehicle is so equipped, the VTSS is disarmed. The panic message will also cause the
exterior lamps (including the headlights) to flash, and the horn to sound for about three minutes, or
until a second panic message is sent to the instrument cluster. A vehicle speed of about 25.7
Km/h(15 mph) will also cancel the panic event.
Operation
OPERATION
Whenever the vehicle battery power is interrupted, the Remote Keyless Module (RKE) Module will
retain all vehicle access codes in its memory. When replacing or adding a key fob transmitter
(maximum of 4) a scan tool is required to program the RKE Module to accept the new Vehicle
Access Code if a customer owned transmitter is not available.
If a functioning transmitter is available, See: Keyless Entry Transmitter/Testing and

Keyless Entry Module: Description and Operation Sentry Key Remote Entry Module
Description
DESCRIPTION
The Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM) (1) is sometimes referred to as the Wireless
Control Module (WCM). The SKREEM is the primary component of the Sentry Key Immobilizer
System (SKIS). It is also the receiver for the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system. The SKREEM is
located on the right side of the steering column, near the ignition lock cylinder housing and is
concealed beneath the steering column shrouds. The molded black plastic housing for the
SKREEM has an integral molded plastic halo-like antenna ring (4) that extends from the bottom.
When the SKREEM is properly installed on the steering column, the antenna ring is oriented
around the circumference of the ignition lock cylinder housing.
A single integral connector receptacle (3) is located just behind the antenna ring on the bottom of
the SKREEM housing. An integral molded plastic mounting tab (2) on the rear corner of the
SKREEM housing has a hole in the center through which a screw passes to secure the unit to the
steering column. The SKREEM is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a single take
out and connector of the instrument panel wire harness.
Two SKREEM modules are used: one for vehicles equipped with RKE only, and one for vehicles
equipped with RKE and SKIS. The SKREEM cannot be adjusted or repaired. If ineffective or
damaged, the entire SKREEM unit must be replaced.
Operation
OPERATION
The Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM) (also known as the Wireless Control
Module/WCM) contains a Radio Frequency (RF) transceiver and a microprocessor. The SKREEM
transmits RF signals to, and receives RF signals from the Sentry Key transponder through a tuned
antenna enclosed within the molded plastic antenna ring integral to the SKREEM housing. If this
antenna ring is not mounted properly around the ignition lock cylinder housing, communication
problems between the SKREEM and the transponder may arise. These communication problems
will result in Sentry Key transponder-related faults.
The SKREEM also serves as the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) RF receiver. See: Body and
Frame/Locks/Power Locks/Description and Operation/Description . The SKREEM communicates
over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus with the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster
(EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN), the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM)/Engine Control Module (ECM) or the diagnostic scan tool.
The SKREEM and the PCM/ECM both use software that includes a rolling code algorithm strategy,
which helps to reduce the possibility of unauthorized Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS)
disarming. The rolling code algorithm ensures security by preventing an override of the SKIS
through the unauthorized substitution of the SKREEM or the PCM/ECM. However, the use of this
strategy also means that replacement of either the SKREEM or the PCM/ECM units will require a
system initialization procedure to restore system operation.
The SKREEM retains in memory the ID numbers of any Sentry Key transponder that is
programmed into it. A maximum of eight Sentry Key transponders can be programmed into the
SKREEM. For added system security, each SKREEM is programmed with a unique Secret Key
code. This code is stored in memory, sent over the CAN data bus to the PCM or ECM, and is
encoded to the transponder of every Sentry Key that is programmed into the SKREEM. Therefore,
the Secret Key code is a common element that is found in every component of the SKIS.
Another security code called a PIN, is used to gain access to the SKREEM Secured Access Mode.
The Secured Access Mode is required during service

12558
to perform the SKIS initialization and Sentry Key transponder programming procedures. The
SKREEM also stores the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) in its memory, which it learns through
a CAN data bus message from the PCM or ECM during SKIS initialization.
In the event that a SKREEM replacement is required, the Secret Key code can be transferred to
the new SKREEM from the PCM or ECM using a diagnostic scan tool and the SKIS initialization
procedure. Proper completion of the SKIS initialization will allow the existing Sentry Keys to be
programmed into the new SKREEM so that new keys will not be required. In the event that the
original Secret Key code cannot be recovered, SKREEM replacement will also require new Sentry
Keys. The diagnostic scan tool will alert the technician during the SKIS initialization procedure if
new Sentry Keys are required.
When the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, the SKREEM transmits an RF signal to excite
the transponder in the ignition key. The SKREEM then waits for an RF signal response from the
transponder. If the response received identifies the key as valid, the SKREEM sends an electronic
valid key message to the PCM/ECM over the CAN bus. If the response received identifies the key
as invalid or if no response is received from the key transponder, the SKREEM sends an invalid
key message to the PCM/ECM. The PCM/ECM will enable or disable engine operation based upon
the status of the SKREEM messages. It is important to note that the default condition in the PCM or
ECM is an invalid key ; therefore, if no message is received from the SKREEM by the PCM or
ECM, the engine will be disabled and the vehicle immobilized after two seconds of running.
The SKREEM also sends security indicator request messages to the EMIC over the CAN data bus
to tell the EMIC how to operate the security indicator. The security indicator request message from
the SKREEM tells the EMIC to turn the indicator ON for about three seconds each time the ignition
switch is turned to the ON position as a bulb test. After completion of the bulb test, the SKREEM
sends security indicator request messages to the EMIC to turn the indicator OFF, turn the indicator
ON, or to flash the indicator ON and OFF. If the security indicator flashes or stays ON solid after
the bulb test, it signifies a SKIS fault. If the SKREEM detects a system malfunction or the SKIS has
become ineffective, the security indicator will stay ON solid. If the SKREEM detects an invalid key
or if a key transponder-related fault exists, the security indicator will flash. If the vehicle is equipped
with the Customer Learn transponder programming feature, the SKREEM will also send messages
to the EMIC to flash the security indicator whenever the Customer Learn programming mode is
being utilized. .
The SKIS performs a self-test each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, and will
store fault information in the form of a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) in SKREEM memory if a
system malfunction is detected. The hard wired circuits of the SKREEM may be diagnosed using
conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the
SKREEM or the electronic controls or communication between other modules and devices that
provide some features of the SKIS. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose
the SKREEM or the electronic controls and communication related to SKREEM operation requires
the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Security Lamp/Indicator: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
A security indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. However, on vehicles not
equipped with the optional Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS), this indicator is electronically
disabled. This indicator is located in the lower right quadrant of the instrument cluster, between the
speedometer and the coolant temperature gauge.
The security indicator consists of a small round cutout in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster
overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it
is not illuminated. A red Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the
overlay causes the indicator to appear in red through the translucent outer layer of the overlay
when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the instrument cluster
electronic circuit board.
The security indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Security Lamp/Indicator: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The security indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the Vehicle Theft Security
System (VTSS) is arming or is armed. On vehicles equipped with the Sentry Key Immobilizer
System (SKIS), the security indicator also gives an indication to the vehicle operator of the status of
the SKIS. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument cluster circuit board based
upon cluster programming, hard wired inputs to the cluster from the various security system
components, and electronic messages received by the cluster from the Sentry Key REmote Entry
Module (SKREEM) (also known as the Wireless Control Module/WCM) over the Controller Area
Network (CAN) data bus.
The security indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument cluster
logic circuit, and that logic will allow this indicator to operate whenever the instrument cluster
receives a battery current input on the fused B(+) circuit. Therefore, the LED can be illuminated
regardless of the ignition switch position. The LED only illuminates when it is provided a path to
ground by the instrument cluster transistor. Depending upon the programmed condition the
indicator can be illuminated solid, flashed at a slow rate (0.5 Hertz, 12.5 percent duty cycle), or
flashed at a fast rate (1 Hertz, 50 percent duty cycle). The instrument cluster will turn ON the
security indicator for the following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position the security indicator
illuminates for about two seconds as a bulb test. The entire bulb test is a function of the SKREEM.
VTSS Indication - During the 16 second VTSS arming function, the cluster will flash the security
indicator ON and OFF repeatedly at a steady, fast rate to indicate that the VTSS is in the process
of arming. Following successful VTSS arming, the cluster flashes the security indicator ON and
OFF continuously at a slower rate to indicate that the VTSS is armed. The security indicator
continues flashing at the slower rate until the VTSS is disarmed or triggered. If the VTSS has
alarmed and rearmed, the cluster will flash the security indicator at a steady, slow rate for about 30
seconds after the VTSS is disarmed.
- SKIS Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic SKIS indicator
lamp-ON message from the SKREEM, the security indicator will be illuminated. The indicator can
be flashed ON and OFF, or illuminated solid, as dictated by the SKREEM message. The indicator
remains illuminated solid or continues to flash until the cluster receives a lamp-OFF message from
the SKREEM, or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first. For
more information on the SKIS and the security indicator control parameters, See: Description and
Operation/Vehicle Theft Security - Operation .
- Communication Error - If the cluster receives no lamp-ON or lamp-OFF messages from the
SKREEM for 10 consecutive message cycles, the security indicator is illuminated by the instrument
cluster. The indicator remains controlled and illuminated by the cluster until a valid lamp-ON or
lamp-OFF message is received from the SKREEM.
- Actuator Test - Each time the instrument cluster is put through the actuator test, the security
indicator will be turned ON, then OFF again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the
functionality of the LED and the cluster control circuitry.
The instrument cluster circuitry controls the security indicator whenever the ignition switch is in the
OFF position and the VTSS is arming, armed, or alarming. Whenever the ignition switch is in the
ON or START positions, the SKREEM performs a self-test to decide whether the SKIS is in good
operating condition and whether a valid key is present in the ignition lock cylinder. The SKREEM
then sends the proper lamp-ON or lamp-OFF message to the ElectroMechanical Instrument
Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN). If the cluster flashes the
security indicator upon ignition ON, or turns ON the security indicator solid after the bulb test, it
indicates that a SKIS malfunction has occurred or that the SKIS is ineffective.
For proper diagnosis of the VTSS, the SKIS, the SKREEM, the EMIC, the CAN data bus or the
electronic communication related to security indicator operation a diagnostic scan tool is required.
Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
All switches, components, and modules are shown in the at rest position with the doors closed and
the key removed from the ignition.
Components are shown two ways. A solid line around a component indicates that the component is
complete. A dashed line around the component indicates that the component is being shown is not
complete. Incomplete components have a reference number to indicate the page where the
component is shown complete.
It is important to realize that no attempt is made on the diagrams to represent components and
wiring as they appear on the vehicle. For example, a short piece of wire is treated the same as a
long one. In addition, switches and other components are shown as simply as possible, with regard
to function only.

Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- Ohmmeter - Used to check the resistance between two points of a circuit. Low or no resistance in
a circuit means good continuity.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking resistance in these circuits use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
In addition, make sure the power is disconnected from the circuit. Circuits that are powered up by
the vehicle's electrical system can cause damage to the equipment and provide false readings.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Cellular Phone > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 12632
- Probing Tools - These tools are used for probing terminals in connectors. Select the proper size
tool from Special Tool Package 6807, and insert the probing end (2) into the terminal being tested.
Use the other end of the tool (1) to insert the meter probe.
INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent electrical problems are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. It is also
possible for a sticking component or relay to cause a problem. Before condemning a component or
wiring assembly, check the following items.
- Connectors are fully seated
- Spread terminals, or terminal push out
- Terminals in the wiring assembly are fully seated into the connector/component and locked into
position
- Dirt or corrosion on the terminals. Any amount of corrosion or dirt could cause an intermittent
problem
- Damaged connector/component casing exposing the item to dirt or moisture
- Wire insulation that has rubbed through causing a short to ground
- Some or all of the wiring strands broken inside of the insulation
- Wiring broken inside of the insulation
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are six steps which can aid in the procedure. The
steps are listed and explained below. Always check for non-factory items added to the vehicle
before doing any diagnosis. If the vehicle is equipped with these items, disconnect them to verify
these add-on items are not the cause of the problem.
1. Verify the problem. 2. Verify any related symptoms. Do this by performing operational checks on
components that are in the same circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams. 3. Analyze the symptoms.
Use the wiring diagrams to determine what the circuit is doing, where the problem most likely is
occurring and where the
diagnosis will continue.
4. Isolate the problem area. 5. Repair the problem area. 6. Verify the proper operation. For this
step, check for proper operation of all items on the repaired circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams.

system will provide audible and visual prompts that will direct the user along the desired route. Any
variances in the route will cause the navigation system to automatically recalculate the route. The
Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) displays turn-by-turn directions to a programmed
destination when Turn by Turn Navigation is enabled through Personal Settings. When enabled,
the EVIC displays the name of the approaching road at the top of the screen, followed by an arrow
to indicate the direction to turn the vehicle, and a count down to indicate the distance to the turn.
TELECOMMUNICATIONS
The hands-free cellular system on this vehicle uses Bluetooth(TM) technology to provide wireless
communication between the operator's compatible cellular telephone and the vehicle's on-board
receiver.
The system uses voice recognition technology to control operation. The incoming voice is
broadcast through the vehicle's radio speakers, automatically overriding any other audio signals on
the front speakers when the hands-free system is in use. A microphone in the rearview mirror picks
up vehicle occupant's voices. If a call is in progress when the ignition is switched off, the
hands-free system will continue to operate for up to 45 seconds as part of the Accessory Relay
Delay function. Thereafter, the call can continue on the hand-held telephone.
The system will communicate with a telephone that is anywhere within the vehicle. However,
covering the hand held phone or the hands-free phone module with a metal object may block the
signal. The system will recognize up to seven telephones, each of which is given a spoken
identification by the user during the setup process. The system includes Spanish and French voice
recognition in addition to English.
Two buttons on the rearview mirror, identified with ISO icons, control the system: A "phone" button
turns the system on and off; a "voice recognition" (or voice command) button prompts the
hands-free system to listen for a voice command.

Cellular Phone: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
Navigation
The optional navigation radio system receives GPS signals from up to eight satellites to display the
position and direction of the vehicle. Map information is supplied through a DVD-ROM. An
electronic gyro-sensor and the vehicle's speed sensor enable the system to display the present
vehicle position even in locations where GPS signals may be blocked.
When a destination is selected, the navigation system uses information from the map to quickly
calculate a route. As the vehicle is driven along the chosen route, the operator is guided with
pictorial displays and voice prompts.
TELECOMMUNICATION
Two buttons on the rearview mirror, identified with ISO icons, control the system: A "phone" button
turns the system on and off; a "voice recognition" (or voice command) button prompts the
hands-free system to listen for a voice command. The system includes the following features:
- Phone book - Stores telephone numbers for later recall by name or other verbal identification,
called a voice tag, and memory location.
- Four memory locations - Home, Work, Cellular and Pager. A maximum of 32 unique names or
voice tags may be stored at the same time, with a different number in each of the four memory
locations.
- Voice tag dialing - Dials the number associated with a voice tag and memory location.
- Digit dialing - Dials the telephone number by recognizing the names of the digits as they are
spoken.
- Receiving calls - A voice prompt notifies the user of an incoming call. A voice response accepts or
rejects the call without manual intervention.
- Privacy Mode - Switches the call to the handheld telephone and the hands-free system and back
again using the "voice recognition" (or "voice command") button and a voice command, if desired.

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
All switches, components, and modules are shown in the at rest position with the doors closed and
the key removed from the ignition.
Components are shown two ways. A solid line around a component indicates that the component is
complete. A dashed line around the component indicates that the component is being shown is not
complete. Incomplete components have a reference number to indicate the page where the
component is shown complete.
It is important to realize that no attempt is made on the diagrams to represent components and
wiring as they appear on the vehicle. For example, a short piece of wire is treated the same as a
long one. In addition, switches and other components are shown as simply as possible, with regard
to function only.

Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- Ohmmeter - Used to check the resistance between two points of a circuit. Low or no resistance in
a circuit means good continuity.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking resistance in these circuits use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
In addition, make sure the power is disconnected from the circuit. Circuits that are powered up by
the vehicle's electrical system can cause damage to the equipment and provide false readings.
Dodge Ram 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (Truck V8-4.7L (2008))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Driver/Vehicle Information Display > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 12670
- Probing Tools - These tools are used for probing terminals in connectors. Select the proper size
tool from Special Tool Package 6807, and insert the probing end (2) into the terminal being tested.
Use the other end of the tool (1) to insert the meter probe.
INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent electrical problems are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. It is also
possible for a sticking component or relay to cause a problem. Before condemning a component or
wiring assembly, check the following items.
- Connectors are fully seated
- Spread terminals, or terminal push out
- Terminals in the wiring assembly are fully seated into the connector/component and locked into
position
- Dirt or corrosion on the terminals. Any amount of corrosion or dirt could cause an intermittent
problem
- Damaged connector/component casing exposing the item to dirt or moisture
- Wire insulation that has rubbed through causing a short to ground
- Some or all of the wiring strands broken inside of the insulation
- Wiring broken inside of the insulation
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are six steps which can aid in the procedure. The
steps are listed and explained below. Always check for non-factory items added to the vehicle
before doing any diagnosis. If the vehicle is equipped with these items, disconnect them to verify
these add-on items are not the cause of the problem.
1. Verify the problem. 2. Verify any related symptoms. Do this by performing operational checks on
components that are in the same circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams. 3. Analyze the symptoms.
Use the wiring diagrams to determine what the circuit is doing, where the problem most likely is
occurring and where the
diagnosis will continue.
4. Isolate the problem area. 5. Repair the problem area. 6. Verify the proper operation. For this
step, check for proper operation of all items on the repaired circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams.

Driver/Vehicle Information Display: Testing and Inspection
ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFORMATION CENTER
The Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) data is obtained from several components on the
Controller Area Network (CAN) Data Bus circuit. The EVIC will not function properly if the bus
messages from any of these components is not received. If no EVIC data is displayed, check the
CAN Data Bus circuit communications, the Instrument Cluster (also known as Cab Compartment
Node (CCN)) functions and the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM).
If the problem with the EVIC is an inaccurate or scrambled display, refer to SELF- DIAGNOSTIC
TEST. If the problem with the EVIC is incorrect Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) dimming levels,
use a scan tool and the proper Diagnostic Procedures Information to test for the correct dimming
message inputs being received from the CCN or TIPM over the CAN data bus circuit. If the
problem is a no-display condition, use the following procedure.
For complete circuit diagrams, refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wiring information
includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector repair procedures, details of wire harness
routing and retention, connector pin-out information and location views for the various wire harness
connectors, splices and grounds.
1. Remove the overhead console from the headliner See: Body and Frame/Interior Moulding /
Trim/Console/Service and Repair/Overhead
Console/Removal .
2. Inspect the Ignition Off Draw (IOD) fuse in the TIPM. If the IOD fuse is OK and in place, go to
STEP 3. If not OK, repair the open IOD fuse
circuit as required.
3. Check for battery voltage at the overhead console electrical connector. If OK, go to STEP 4. If
not OK, Check for battery voltage at the
appropriate B(+) fuse in the TIPM, repair the open fused B(+) circuit as required.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the On position. Check the fused ignition switch output circuit(s) at the
overhead console electrical connector. If OK,
go to STEP 5. If not OK, repair the open or shorted circuit as required.
5. Turn the ignition switch to the Off position. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
Check for continuity between the ground circuit
cavity of the overhead console electrical connector and a good ground. There should be continuity.
If OK, refer to SELF- DIAGNOSTIC TEST for further diagnosis of the EVIC module and the CAN
data bus circuit. If not OK, repair the open ground circuit as required.
SELF- DIAGNOSTIC TEST
NOTE: The EVIC self - test can also be performed using a scan tool. Navigate to the Auto Self Test
screen under System Tests of the scan tool and initiate the EVIC self - test.
A self-diagnostic test is used to determine that the EVIC is operating properly electrically. Initiate
the self-diagnostic test as follows:
1. With the ignition switch in the Off position, simultaneously depress and hold the STEP and
RESET buttons while rotating the ignition switch to
the Run/On position.
2. Continue to hold both buttons depressed until the EVIC enters the display segment test. In this
test, all of the Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD)
segments are lighted while the EVIC performs the following checks: Non-Volatile Memory Status (NVM)
- RAM Status
- ROM Status
- ASIC Communication Status
- Compass Status
- DC Status
- CAN Data Bus Communications Status
NOTE: If the EVIC module is equipped with the Universal Transmitter (also known as
HomeLink(R)), the module also checks "HomeLink(R) Communication Test Status".
3. Following completion of these tests, the EVIC will display one of two messages: "Self Test: FAIL"
or "Self Test: PASS." In addition to the
FAIL/PASS message the EVIC will display the current software version (SW V xx.xx.xxx) below the
FAIL/PASS info. Press the RESET or STEP button to exit and enter normal mode. Respond to
these test results as follows: If no test result message is displayed, but EVIC operation is still improper, the use of a scan tool
and the proper Diagnostic Procedures Information are required for further diagnosis.
- If the "Self Test: FAIL" message is displayed, the EVIC is inoperative and must be replaced.
- If the "Self Test: PASS" message is displayed, the EVIC is OK, no faults are present.
- If any VFD segment does not light during the display segment test, the EVIC is inoperative and
must be replaced.
If the first seven tests pass, the EVIC shall verify that all the required CAN bus messages are
present on the CAN bus. If all required messages are present on the CAN bus, the EVIC will
automatically return to normal operation after sixty seconds. The EVIC can also be returned to
normal operation any time during the test by pressing the STEP , C/T , RESET or US/M buttons.
NOTE: Pressing the STEP or RESET buttons during any portion of the EVIC Self - Diagnostic Test
Procedure will cause the EVIC to exit diagnostics and return to compass/temperature mode.

NOTE: If the compass functions, but accuracy is suspect, it may be necessary to perform a
variance adjustment. This procedure allows the compass unit to accommodate variations in the
earth's magnetic field strength, based on geographic location.
NOTE: If the compass reading has blanked out, and only "CAL" appears in the display,
demagnetizing may be necessary to remove excessive residual magnetic fields from the vehicle.
Check for stored Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and follow the proper Diagnostic Procedures
Information as needed.

Manual Compass Calibration - EVIC
MANUAL COMPASS CALIBRATION
CAUTION: Do not place any external magnets, such as magnetic roof mount antennas, in the
vicinity of the overhead console. Do not use magnetic tools when servicing the overhead console.
NOTE: Whenever the compass is calibrated manually, the variance number must also be reset.
See: Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators/Compass/Service and
Repair/Procedures/Electronic Vehicle Information Center - Standard Procedures/Compass
Variance Adjustment - EVIC for the appropriate procedure.
The electronic compass unit features a self-calibrating design, which simplifies the calibration
procedure. This feature automatically updates the compass calibration while the vehicle is being
driven. This allows the compass unit to compensate for small changes in the residual magnetism
that the vehicle may acquire during normal use. If the compass readings appear to be erratic or the
Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) displays "CAL", perform the following manual
calibration procedure. Also, any time EVIC service replacement components are installed, they
must be calibrated using this procedure. Do not attempt to calibrate the compass near large metal
objects such as other vehicles, large buildings, or bridges; or, near overhead or underground power
lines.
Calibrate the compass manually as follows:
1. Turn the ignition switch to the On/Run position. Press and release the MENU push button (1)
until "Personal Settings" is displayed. 2. Press the STEP push button (4) until "Calibrate Compass
YES" is displayed. 3. Momentarily depress and release the RESET push button (2) to initiate the
calibration procedure. The message "CAL will appear in the
Compass/Temperature display.
4. Slowly drive the vehicle on a level surface, away from large metal objects and power lines,
through one or two complete circles not exceeding 8
km/h (5 mph). The "CAL" message will disappear from the display to indicate that the compass is
now calibrated.
NOTE: A blank compass display indicates that vehicle degaussing (demagnetizing) may be
necessary.
NOTE: If the "CAL" message remains in the display, either there is excessive magnetism near the
compass, or the EVIC is inoperative. Attempt the calibration procedure at least one more time
before performing EVIC diagnosis.
NOTE: If the wrong direction is still indicated in the compass display, the area selected for
calibration may be too close to a strong magnetic field. Repeat the manual calibration procedure in
another location.

Information > Service and Repair > Procedures > Page 12684
A degaussing tool (Special Tool 6029) is used to demagnetize, or degauss, the overhead console
forward mounting screw and the roof panel above the overhead console. Equivalent units must be
rated as continuous duty for 110/115 volts and 60 Hz. They must also have a field strength of over
350 gauss at 7 millimeters (0.25 inch) beyond the tip of the probe.
To demagnetize the roof panel and the overhead console forward mounting screw, proceed as
follows:
1. Be certain that the ignition switch is in the Off position, before you begin the demagnetizing
procedure. 2. Connect the degaussing tool to an electrical outlet, while keeping the tool at least 61
centimeters (2 feet) away from the compass unit. 3. Slowly approach the head of the overhead
console forward mounting screw with the degaussing tool connected. 4. Contact the head of the
screw with the plastic coated tip of the degaussing tool for about two seconds. 5. With the
degaussing tool still energized, slowly back it away from the screw. When the tip of the tool is at
least 61 centimeters (2 feet) from the
screw head, disconnect the tool.
To demagnetize the roof panel proceed as follows:
6. Place a piece of paper approximately 22 by 28 centimeters (8.5 by 11 inches), oriented on the
vehicle lengthwise from front to rear, on the center
line of the roof at the windshield header. The purpose of the paper is to protect the roof panel from
scratches, and to define the area to be demagnetized.
7. Connect the degaussing tool to an electrical outlet, while keeping the tool at least 61 centimeters
(2 feet) away from the compass unit. 8. Slowly approach the center line of the roof panel at the
windshield header, with the degaussing tool connected. 9. Contact the roof panel with the plastic
coated tip of the degaussing tool. Be sure that the template is in place to avoid scratching the roof
panel.
Using a slow, back-and-forth sweeping motion, and allowing 13 millimeters (0.50 inch) between
passes, move the tool at least 11 centimeters (4 inches) to each side of the roof center line, and 28
centimeters (11 inches) back from the windshield header.
10. With the degaussing tool still energized, slowly back it away from the roof panel. When the tip
of the tool is at least 61 centimeters (2 feet) from
the roof panel, disconnect the tool.
11. Calibrate the compass, See: Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning
Indicators/Compass/Service and Repair/Procedures/Electronic Vehicle
Information Center - Standard Procedures/Manual Compass Calibration - EVIC and adjust the
compass variance, See: Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators/Compass/Service and

Adjustment - EVIC .
Compass Variance Adjustment - EVIC
COMPASS VARIANCE ADJUSTMENT
Compass variance, also known as magnetic declination, is the difference in angle between
magnetic north and true geographic north. In some geographic locations, the difference between
magnetic and geographic north is great enough to cause the compass to give false readings. If this
problem occurs, the compass variance must be set.
NOTE: If the vehicle is taken on long trips into a new variance zone the compass function may be
effected. Compass variance may need to be adjusted to the new zone number to function properly.
NOTE: The default for the compass variance from the factory is 8.
To set the compass variance:
1. Using the Variance Settings Map, find your geographic location and note the zone number.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the On/Run position. Press and release the MENU push button (1)
until "Personal Settings" is displayed. 3. Press the STEP push button (4) until "Compass Variance"
is displayed. 4. Momentarily depress and release the RESET push button (2) to toggle through the
zone numbers (1-15), until the zone number for your
geographic location appears in the display.
5. Momentarily depress and release the C/T push button (5) to enter the displayed zone number
into the compass unit memory. 6. Confirm that the correct directions are now indicated by the
compass.

Garage Door Opener Transmitter: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
NOTE: The Compass Mini-Trip Computer (CMTC) and Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC) modules are sometimes referred to as Electronic Overhead Modules (EOM) for the
purposes of scan tool and diagnostic information naming. Please treat the CMTC, EVIC and EOM
as one and the same when diagnosing the vehicle.
NOTE: Overhead console with Compass Mini-Trip Computer (CMTC) shown. Overhead console
with Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) is similar.
The HomeLink(R) transceiver is integral to the CMTC or EVIC modules. The only visible
component of the HomeLink(R) transceiver are the three push buttons (3). The buttons are marked
with one, two or three dots, respectively, for identification of each channel.
Each of the three HomeLink(R) transceiver push buttons controls an independent radio transmitter
channel. Each of these three channels can be trained to transmit a different radio frequency signal
for the remote operation of garage door openers, motorized gate openers, home or office lighting,
security systems or just about any other device that can be equipped with a radio receiver in the
286 to 399 Megahertz (MHz) frequency range for remote operation. The HomeLink(R) transceiver
is capable of operating systems using either rolling code or non-rolling code technology.
The HomeLink(R) transceiver cannot be repaired, and is available for service only as part of the
CMTC or EVIC modules. This unit includes the push button switches for both the HomeLink(R)
transceiver and CMTC or EVIC, The Vacuum-Fluorescent Display (VFD) and the plastic module
case.

Garage Door Opener Transmitter: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The HomeLink(R) transceiver receives battery feed through the Ignition Off Draw (IOD) fuse circuit
of the vehicle. It operates on a non-switched source of battery current so the unit will remain
functional, regardless of the ignition switch position. It can learn and store three separate
transmitter radio frequency codes to operate garage door openers, security gates and security
lighting. The Compass Mini-Trip Computer (CMTC) or Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)
display provides visual feedback to the driver, showing which transmitter button is pressed. The
system will not send operating signals if the vehicle theft security alarm is armed. This prevents a
perpetrator from breaking into a vehicle parked outside a home and using the HomeLink(R)
transceiver system to enter the home.

Programming Homelink(R) Transceiver Codes
PROGRAMMING HOMELINK(R) TRANSCEIVER CODES
WARNING: Vehicle exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a dangerous gas. Do not run the vehicle's
exhaust while training the transceiver. Exhaust gas can cause serious injury or death.
WARNING: Your motorized door or gate may open and close while you are training the
HomeLink(R) transceiver if the vehicle is in range of the motorized device. Do not train the
HomeLink(R) transceiver if people or pets are in the path of the door or gate. A moving door or
gate can cause serious injury or death to people and pets or damage to objects.
NOTE: When programming a garage door opener, it is advised to park outside the garage. It is also
recommended that a new battery be placed in the hand-held transmitter of the device being
programmed to the HomeLink(R) transceiver for quicker training and accurate transmission of the
radio-frequency signal.

activate your rolling code equipped device.
NOTE: To program the remaining two HomeLink(R) transceiver buttons, begin with "Programming"
step 2. Do not repeat step 1.
Canadian Programming/Gate Programming
Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmitter signals to "time-out" (or quit) after several
seconds of transmission which may not be long enough for the HomeLink(R) transceiver to pick up
the signal during programming. Similar to this Canadian law, some U.S. gate operators are
designed to "time-out" in the same manner.
If you live in Canada or you are having difficulties programming a gate operator by using the
"Programming" procedures (regardless of where you live), replace "Programming Common
HomeLink(R) Transceiver Codes" step 3 with the following:
NOTE: When programming a garage door opener or gate operator, it is advised to unplug the
device or move the vehicle out of range during the "cycling" process to prevent possible
overheating.

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
All switches, components, and modules are shown in the at rest position with the doors closed and
the key removed from the ignition.
Components are shown two ways. A solid line around a component indicates that the component is
complete. A dashed line around the component indicates that the component is being shown is not
complete. Incomplete components have a reference number to indicate the page where the
component is shown complete.
It is important to realize that no attempt is made on the diagrams to represent components and
wiring as they appear on the vehicle. For example, a short piece of wire is treated the same as a
long one. In addition, switches and other components are shown as simply as possible, with regard
to function only.

Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- Ohmmeter - Used to check the resistance between two points of a circuit. Low or no resistance in
a circuit means good continuity.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking resistance in these circuits use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
In addition, make sure the power is disconnected from the circuit. Circuits that are powered up by
the vehicle's electrical system can cause damage to the equipment and provide false readings.
Dodge Ram 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (Truck V8-4.7L (2008))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Memory Positioning Systems > System Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 12733
- Probing Tools - These tools are used for probing terminals in connectors. Select the proper size
tool from Special Tool Package 6807, and insert the probing end (2) into the terminal being tested.
Use the other end of the tool (1) to insert the meter probe.
INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent electrical problems are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. It is also
possible for a sticking component or relay to cause a problem. Before condemning a component or
wiring assembly, check the following items.
- Connectors are fully seated
- Spread terminals, or terminal push out
- Terminals in the wiring assembly are fully seated into the connector/component and locked into
position
- Dirt or corrosion on the terminals. Any amount of corrosion or dirt could cause an intermittent
problem
- Damaged connector/component casing exposing the item to dirt or moisture
- Wire insulation that has rubbed through causing a short to ground
- Some or all of the wiring strands broken inside of the insulation
- Wiring broken inside of the insulation
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are six steps which can aid in the procedure. The
steps are listed and explained below. Always check for non-factory items added to the vehicle
before doing any diagnosis. If the vehicle is equipped with these items, disconnect them to verify
these add-on items are not the cause of the problem.
1. Verify the problem. 2. Verify any related symptoms. Do this by performing operational checks on
components that are in the same circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams. 3. Analyze the symptoms.
Use the wiring diagrams to determine what the circuit is doing, where the problem most likely is
occurring and where the
diagnosis will continue.
4. Isolate the problem area. 5. Repair the problem area. 6. Verify the proper operation. For this
step, check for proper operation of all items on the repaired circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams.

Description and Operation > Description
Navigation System: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
NAVIGATION
A optional navigation radio (RB4) is available on this vehicle. The navigation system allows the
user to input addresses, points of interest or way points to plan a route to the desired location. The
system will provide audible and visual prompts that will direct the user along the desired route. Any
variances in the route will cause the navigation system to automatically recalculate the route. The
Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) displays turn-by-turn directions to a programmed
destination when Turn by Turn Navigation is enabled through Personal Settings. When enabled,
the EVIC displays the name of the approaching road at the top of the screen, followed by an arrow
to indicate the direction to turn the vehicle, and a count down to indicate the distance to the turn.
TELECOMMUNICATIONS
The hands-free cellular system on this vehicle uses Bluetooth(TM) technology to provide wireless
communication between the operator's compatible cellular telephone and the vehicle's on-board
receiver.
The system uses voice recognition technology to control operation. The incoming voice is
broadcast through the vehicle's radio speakers, automatically overriding any other audio signals on
the front speakers when the hands-free system is in use. A microphone in the rearview mirror picks
up vehicle occupant's voices. If a call is in progress when the ignition is switched off, the
hands-free system will continue to operate for up to 45 seconds as part of the Accessory Relay
Delay function. Thereafter, the call can continue on the hand-held telephone.
The system will communicate with a telephone that is anywhere within the vehicle. However,
covering the hand held phone or the hands-free phone module with a metal object may block the
signal. The system will recognize up to seven telephones, each of which is given a spoken
identification by the user during the setup process. The system includes Spanish and French voice
recognition in addition to English.
Two buttons on the rearview mirror, identified with ISO icons, control the system: A "phone" button
turns the system on and off; a "voice recognition" (or voice command) button prompts the
hands-free system to listen for a voice command.

Navigation System: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
Navigation
The optional navigation radio system receives GPS signals from up to eight satellites to display the
position and direction of the vehicle. Map information is supplied through a DVD-ROM. An
electronic gyro-sensor and the vehicle's speed sensor enable the system to display the present
vehicle position even in locations where GPS signals may be blocked.
When a destination is selected, the navigation system uses information from the map to quickly
calculate a route. As the vehicle is driven along the chosen route, the operator is guided with
pictorial displays and voice prompts.
TELECOMMUNICATION
Two buttons on the rearview mirror, identified with ISO icons, control the system: A "phone" button
turns the system on and off; a "voice recognition" (or voice command) button prompts the
hands-free system to listen for a voice command. The system includes the following features:
- Phone book - Stores telephone numbers for later recall by name or other verbal identification,
called a voice tag, and memory location.
- Four memory locations - Home, Work, Cellular and Pager. A maximum of 32 unique names or
voice tags may be stored at the same time, with a different number in each of the four memory
locations.
- Voice tag dialing - Dials the number associated with a voice tag and memory location.
- Digit dialing - Dials the telephone number by recognizing the names of the digits as they are
spoken.
- Receiving calls - A voice prompt notifies the user of an incoming call. A voice response accepts or
rejects the call without manual intervention.
- Privacy Mode - Switches the call to the handheld telephone and the hands-free system and back
again using the "voice recognition" (or "voice command") button and a voice command, if desired.

Amplifier: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The power amplifier electronically increases the frequency response of the normal audio signal
output from the radio amplifier in order to improve the acoustic performance of the speakers. On
vehicles equipped with an amplifier, the amplifier section of the radio becomes a pre-amplifier.
The amplifier receives audio signal inputs for speaker channels from the radio, then sends
amplified audio outputs through six separate channels with dedicated feed and return circuits to the
individual speakers.

Radio/Stereo Noise Filter: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
Radio noise suppression devices are Installed 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 electromagnetic
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 manifested in the form of "buzzing," "hissing,"
"popping," "clicking," "crackling," and/or "whirring" sounds. In most cases, RFI and EMI radio noise
can be suppressed using a combination of vehicle and component grounding, filtering and
shielding techniques. This vehicle is equipped with factory-installed radio noise suppression
devices that were designed to minimize exposure to typical sources of RFI and EMI; thereby,
minimizing radio noise complaints.
Factory-installed radio noise suppression is accomplished primarily through circuitry or devices that
are integral to the factory-installed radios, audio power amplifiers and other on-board electrical
components 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
connector crimped to each end. One end is secured to the engine cylinder head(s). The other is
secured to the plenum at the exhaust heat shield forward/outer attaching stud.
- Resistor-type spark plugs - This type of spark plug has an internal resistor connected in series
between the spark plug terminal and the center electrode to help reduce the production of
electromagnetic radiation that can result in radio noise.

Radio/Stereo Noise Filter: Description and Operation Operation
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 components.
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, ignition, engine control and transmission control
systems. An insufficient ground path for any of these high current components may result in radio
noise caused by induced voltages created as the high current seeks alternative ground paths
through components 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 accomplished by ensuring that the audio system
components are correctly installed in the vehicle. Loose, corroded or improperly soldered wire
harness connections, 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 connections will each help
reduce the potential for reception of RFI and EMI.

Remote Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The six switches in the two remote radio switch units are normally open, resistor multiplexed
momentary switches that are hard wired to the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) through the
clockspring. The TIPM 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 TIPM 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 TIPM or the PCI data bus, the use of a scan tool and the proper
Diagnostic Procedures information is recommended.

Speaker: Testing and Inspection
SPEAKER
Any diagnosis of the Audio system should begin with the use of a scan tool. For information on the
use of the scan tool, refer to the appropriate Diagnostic Service information.
Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
WARNING: Disable the airbag system before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, seat
belt tensioner, side airbag, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and
isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the airbag system capacitor to
discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the
airbag system. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment
and possible personal injury.
CAUTION: The speaker output of the radio is a "floating ground" system. Do not allow any speaker
lead to short to ground, as damage to the radio and/or amplifier may result.
1. If all speakers are inoperative, check the fuses in the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM). If
OK, go to Step 2. If not OK, repair the shorted
circuit or component as required and replace the faulty fuse.
2. Check the amplifier fuse (if equipped) in the TIPM. If OK, go to Step 3. If not OK, repair the
shorted circuit or component as required and replace
the faulty fuse.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. Turn the radio receiver ON. Adjust the balance and
fader control controls to check the performance of
each individual speaker. Note the speaker locations that are not performing correctly. Go to Step 4.
4. Turn the radio receiver OFF. Turn the ignition OFF. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable. If vehicle is not equipped with an amplifier
, remove the radio receiver. If vehicle is equipped with an amplifier, disconnect wire harness
connector at output side of amplifier. Go to Step 5.
5. Check both the speaker feed (+) circuit and return (-) circuit cavities for the inoperative speaker
at the radio receiver wire harness connector for
continuity to ground. There should be no continuity. If OK, go to Step 6. If not OK, repair the
shorted speaker feed (+) and/or return (-) circuits(s) to the speaker as required.
6. Disconnect wire harness connector at the inoperative speaker. Check for continuity between the
speaker feed (+) circuit cavities of the radio
receiver wire harness connector or if equipped, the amplifier wire harness connector and the
speaker wire harness connector. Repeat the check between the speaker return (-) circuit cavities of
the radio receiver wire harness connector and the speaker wire harness connector. In each case,
there should be continuity. If OK, replace the faulty speaker. If not OK, repair the open speaker
feed (+) and/or return (-) circuits(s) as required.

DESCRIPTION
When an RKE lock message is sent to the instrument cluster, the instrument cluster actuates the
door locks, the interior lighting is turned off, the horn chirps (if this feature is enabled), the park
lamps flash (if this feature is enabled) and, if the vehicle is so equipped, the Vehicle Theft Security
System (VTSS) is armed. When an RKE unlock message is sent to the instrument cluster, the
instrument cluster actuates the driver side front door (or all doors if this feature is enabled) unlock,
the interior lighting is turned on and, if the vehicle is so equipped, the VTSS is disarmed.
When an RKE panic message is sent to the instrument cluster, the instrument cluster actuates the
driver side front door (or all doors if this feature is enabled) unlock, the interior lighting is turned on
and, if the vehicle is so equipped, the VTSS is disarmed. The panic message will also cause the
exterior lamps (including the headlights) to flash, and the horn to sound for about three minutes, or
until a second panic message is sent to the instrument cluster. A vehicle speed of about 25.7
Km/h(15 mph) will also cancel the panic event.
Operation
OPERATION
Whenever the vehicle battery power is interrupted, the Remote Keyless Module (RKE) Module will
retain all vehicle access codes in its memory. When replacing or adding a key fob transmitter
(maximum of 4) a scan tool is required to program the RKE Module to accept the new Vehicle
Access Code if a customer owned transmitter is not available.
If a functioning transmitter is available, See: Antitheft and Alarm Systems/Keyless Entry/Keyless
Entry Transmitter/Testing and Inspection/Programming and Relearning

Keyless Entry Module: Description and Operation Sentry Key Remote Entry Module
Description
DESCRIPTION
The Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM) (1) is sometimes referred to as the Wireless
Control Module (WCM). The SKREEM is the primary component of the Sentry Key Immobilizer
System (SKIS). It is also the receiver for the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system. The SKREEM is
located on the right side of the steering column, near the ignition lock cylinder housing and is
concealed beneath the steering column shrouds. The molded black plastic housing for the
SKREEM has an integral molded plastic halo-like antenna ring (4) that extends from the bottom.
When the SKREEM is properly installed on the steering column, the antenna ring is oriented
around the circumference of the ignition lock cylinder housing.
A single integral connector receptacle (3) is located just behind the antenna ring on the bottom of
the SKREEM housing. An integral molded plastic mounting tab (2) on the rear corner of the
SKREEM housing has a hole in the center through which a screw passes to secure the unit to the
steering column. The SKREEM is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a single take
out and connector of the instrument panel wire harness.
Two SKREEM modules are used: one for vehicles equipped with RKE only, and one for vehicles
equipped with RKE and SKIS. The SKREEM cannot be adjusted or repaired. If ineffective or
damaged, the entire SKREEM unit must be replaced.
Operation
OPERATION
The Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM) (also known as the Wireless Control
Module/WCM) contains a Radio Frequency (RF) transceiver and a microprocessor. The SKREEM
transmits RF signals to, and receives RF signals from the Sentry Key transponder through a tuned
antenna enclosed within the molded plastic antenna ring integral to the SKREEM housing. If this
antenna ring is not mounted properly around the ignition lock cylinder housing, communication
problems between the SKREEM and the transponder may arise. These communication problems
will result in Sentry Key transponder-related faults.
The SKREEM also serves as the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) RF receiver. See: Body and
Frame/Locks/Power Locks/Description and Operation/Description . The SKREEM communicates
over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus with the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster
(EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN), the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM)/Engine Control Module (ECM) or the diagnostic scan tool.
The SKREEM and the PCM/ECM both use software that includes a rolling code algorithm strategy,
which helps to reduce the possibility of unauthorized Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS)
disarming. The rolling code algorithm ensures security by preventing an override of the SKIS
through the unauthorized substitution of the SKREEM or the PCM/ECM. However, the use of this
strategy also means that replacement of either the SKREEM or the PCM/ECM units will require a
system initialization procedure to restore system operation.
The SKREEM retains in memory the ID numbers of any Sentry Key transponder that is
programmed into it. A maximum of eight Sentry Key transponders can be programmed into the
SKREEM. For added system security, each SKREEM is programmed with a unique Secret Key
code. This code is stored in memory, sent over the CAN data bus to the PCM or ECM, and is
encoded to the transponder of every Sentry Key that is programmed into the SKREEM. Therefore,
the Secret Key code is a common element that is found in every component of the SKIS.
Another security code called a PIN, is used to gain access to the SKREEM Secured Access Mode.
The Secured Access Mode is required during service
Dodge Ram 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (Truck V8-4.7L (2008))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Relays and Modules - Accessories and Optional
Equipment > Keyless Entry Module > Component Information > Description and Operation > Remote Keyless Entry Module
> Page 12898
to perform the SKIS initialization and Sentry Key transponder programming procedures. The
SKREEM also stores the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) in its memory, which it learns through
a CAN data bus message from the PCM or ECM during SKIS initialization.
In the event that a SKREEM replacement is required, the Secret Key code can be transferred to
the new SKREEM from the PCM or ECM using a diagnostic scan tool and the SKIS initialization
procedure. Proper completion of the SKIS initialization will allow the existing Sentry Keys to be
programmed into the new SKREEM so that new keys will not be required. In the event that the
original Secret Key code cannot be recovered, SKREEM replacement will also require new Sentry
Keys. The diagnostic scan tool will alert the technician during the SKIS initialization procedure if
new Sentry Keys are required.
When the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, the SKREEM transmits an RF signal to excite
the transponder in the ignition key. The SKREEM then waits for an RF signal response from the
transponder. If the response received identifies the key as valid, the SKREEM sends an electronic
valid key message to the PCM/ECM over the CAN bus. If the response received identifies the key
as invalid or if no response is received from the key transponder, the SKREEM sends an invalid
key message to the PCM/ECM. The PCM/ECM will enable or disable engine operation based upon
the status of the SKREEM messages. It is important to note that the default condition in the PCM or
ECM is an invalid key ; therefore, if no message is received from the SKREEM by the PCM or
ECM, the engine will be disabled and the vehicle immobilized after two seconds of running.
The SKREEM also sends security indicator request messages to the EMIC over the CAN data bus
to tell the EMIC how to operate the security indicator. The security indicator request message from
the SKREEM tells the EMIC to turn the indicator ON for about three seconds each time the ignition
switch is turned to the ON position as a bulb test. After completion of the bulb test, the SKREEM
sends security indicator request messages to the EMIC to turn the indicator OFF, turn the indicator
ON, or to flash the indicator ON and OFF. If the security indicator flashes or stays ON solid after
the bulb test, it signifies a SKIS fault. If the SKREEM detects a system malfunction or the SKIS has
become ineffective, the security indicator will stay ON solid. If the SKREEM detects an invalid key
or if a key transponder-related fault exists, the security indicator will flash. If the vehicle is equipped
with the Customer Learn transponder programming feature, the SKREEM will also send messages
to the EMIC to flash the security indicator whenever the Customer Learn programming mode is
being utilized. .
The SKIS performs a self-test each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, and will
store fault information in the form of a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) in SKREEM memory if a
system malfunction is detected. The hard wired circuits of the SKREEM may be diagnosed using
conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the
SKREEM or the electronic controls or communication between other modules and devices that
provide some features of the SKIS. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose
the SKREEM or the electronic controls and communication related to SKREEM operation requires
the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Winch Relay: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION
RELAY PACK
Electrical operation of the control assembly consists of four heavy duty relays, a thermal-switch
located on the motor armature brush holder and a Low Voltage Interrupt (LVI) located in the control
assembly. The thermal-switch interrupts the power-in function and the LVI affects both the power-in
and power-out functions and must be reset by allowing the charging circuit voltage to rise above 10
volts for more than 30 seconds. The thermal switch is reset only by allowing the winch motor to
cool adequately (about 30 minutes). Relay number 1 and 3 control current flow through the field
windings and relay number 2 and 4 supply current to the motor armature.
Operation
In the power-out mode, relay number 2 and 3 are energized by the remote control switch. Current
flows from the positive battery terminal through relay number 3 then through the black motor cable
to the number 2 and number 1 field windings. From the black motor cable current then flows
through solenoid number 2 to the motor armature to ground.
In power-in mode, relay number 1 and 4 are energized. Current again flows from the battery
positive cable, but this time current flows through solenoid number 1 then through field winding
number 1. Current flowing in the reverse direction through the field windings cause the motor to
turn in the opposite direction. From the red motor cable current then flows through relay number 4
to the black cable going to the motor armature to ground.

Hood Sensor/Switch (For Alarm): Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The hood ajar switch is a normally closed, single pole, spring-loaded plunger actuated switch. This
switch has two unique versions that are used in two different applications. One switch is used only
on vehicles equipped with the Vehicle Theft Alarm (VTA) system for sale in certain export markets
where protection of the underhood area is required equipment. The second switch is used only on
domestic vehicles equipped with an optional remote starter system.
The molded plastic switch body (5) has an integral molded connector receptacle (1) on the lower
end containing two terminal pins. The switch is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a
dedicated take out of the headlamp and dash wire harness. Two integral latches (2) lock the switch
into a keyed mounting hole in the stamped steel switch mounting bracket. The mounting bracket is
secured with screws to the inboard side of the right front fender load beam within the engine
compartment. A molded plastic striker secured to the underside of the hood panel inner
reinforcement actuates the switch plunger as the hood panel is closed.
The switch plunger (3) extends through a mounting collar (4) and a sleeve-like retainer ring on the
upper end of the switch body. The retainer ring has a one time, self-adjustment feature that is
activated after the switch is installed by closing the hood. The retainer ring is also color-coded to
aid in identifying the switch application. A dark brown retainer ring identifies the underhood security
switch application, while a white retainer ring identifies the remote starter system application.
An installed hood ajar switch cannot be readjusted or repaired. If the switch is damaged,
ineffective, or requires readjustment, it must be replaced with a new unit. The hood ajar switch
striker is not intended for reuse. If the striker is removed from the hood inner reinforcement for any
reason, it must be replaced with a new unit.

Hood Sensor/Switch (For Alarm): Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The hood ajar switches are interchangeable physically, but not functionally. In each case, the hood
ajar switch is a normally closed switch that is held open as the spring-loaded switch plunger is
depressed by the striker on the inner hood panel reinforcement 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.
In the underhood security application (export vehicles only - dark brown retainer ring), the switch is
connected in series between ground and the hood ajar switch sense input of the Totally Integrated
Power Module (TIPM). The TIPM uses an internal resistor pull up to monitor the state of the hood
ajar switch contacts.
In the remote starter system application (domestic vehicles only - white retainer ring) the switch has
a 1 kilohm diagnostic resistor connected in parallel to the switch contacts between the two switch
terminals. The switch is connected in series between an output of the TIPM and the hood ajar
switch sense input of the TIPM. The TIPM continually monitors this circuit and will store a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for any fault that it detects.
The components of the switch self-adjustment feature include an integral stop on the shaft of the
plunger and a ribbed, ratcheting sleeve-like retainer ring at the top of the switch body from which
the plunger extends. With the switch mounting collar secured in its mounting bracket, the plunger is
depressed by the striker on the hood inner reinforcement as the hood is closed. As the plunger is
depressed, the plunger stop contacts the top of the retainer ring and it is driven downward,
ratcheting through the switch mounting collar until the hood is fully closed and latched. The ribs on
the retainer ring are engaged within the mounting collar to maintain this adjusted position.
The hood ajar switch as well as the hard wired circuits between the switch and the TIPM may be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information. However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of
the electronic controls or communication between modules and other devices related to hood ajar
switch operation that provide some features of the export vehicle theft or domestic remote starter
systems. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the electronic controls and
communication related to hood ajar switch operation requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool.
Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Remote Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The six switches in the two remote radio switch units are normally open, resistor multiplexed
momentary switches that are hard wired to the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) through the
clockspring. The TIPM 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 TIPM 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 TIPM or the PCI data bus, the use of a scan tool and the proper
Diagnostic Procedures information is recommended.

Towing Information: Service and Repair Towing
STANDARD PROCEDURE
A vehicle equipped with SAE approved sling-type towing equipment can be used to tow all
vehicles. When towing a 4WD vehicle using a wheel-lift towing device, use tow dollies under the
opposite end of the vehicle. A vehicle with flat-bed device can also be used to transport a disabled
vehicle.
A wooden crossbeam may be required for proper connection when using the sling-type, front-end
towing method.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION: The following safety precautions must be observed when towing a vehicle:
- Secure loose and protruding parts.
- Always use a safety chain system that is independent of the lifting and towing equipment.
- Do not allow towing equipment to contact the disabled vehicle's fuel tank.
- Do not allow anyone under the disabled vehicle while it is lifted by the towing device.
- Do not allow passengers to ride in a vehicle being towed.
- Always observe state and local laws regarding towing regulations.
- Do not tow a vehicle in a manner that could jeopardize the safety of the operator, pedestrians or
other motorists.
- Do not attach tow chains, T-hooks, J-hooks, or a tow sling to a bumper, steering linkage, drive
shafts or a non-reinforced frame hole.
- Do not tow a heavily loaded vehicle. Damage to the cab, cargo box or frame may result. Use a
flatbed device to transport a loaded vehicle.
GROUND CLEARANCE
CAUTION: If vehicle is towed with wheels removed, install lug nuts to retain brake drums or rotors.
A towed vehicle should be raised until lifted wheels are a minimum 100 mm (4 in) from the ground.
Be sure there is adequate ground clearance at the opposite end of the vehicle, especially when
towing over rough terrain or steep rises in the road. If necessary, remove the wheels from the lifted
end of the vehicle and lower the vehicle closer to the ground, to increase the ground clearance at
the opposite end of the vehicle. Install lug nuts on wheel attaching studs to retain brake drums or
rotors.
RAMP ANGLE
If a vehicle with flat-bed towing equipment is used, the approach ramp angle should not exceed 15
degrees.
TOWING WHEN KEYS ARE NOT AVAILABLE
When the vehicle is locked and keys are not available, use a flat bed hauler. A Wheel-lift or
Sling-type device can be used on 4WD vehicles provided all the wheels are lifted off the ground
using tow dollies.
FOUR-WHEEL-DRIVE VEHICLE TOWING
DaimlerChrysler Corporation recommends that a vehicle be transported on a flat-bed device. A
Wheel-lift or Sling-type device can be used provided all

the wheels are lifted off the ground using tow dollies.
WARNING: When towing a disabled vehicle and the drive wheels are secured in a wheel lift or tow
dollies, ensure the transmission is in the park position (automatic transmission) or a forward drive
gear (manual transmission).
CAUTION: Many vehicles are equipped with air dams, spoilers, and/or ground effect panels. To
avoid component damage, a wheel-lift towing vehicle or a flat-bed hauling vehicle is recommended.

Towing Information: Service and Repair Trailer Towing - NAFTA
TRAILER TOWING - NAFTA
In this section you will find safety tips and information on limits to the type of towing you can
reasonably do with your vehicle. Before towing a trailer carefully review this information to tow your
load as efficiently and safely as possible.
To maintain warranty coverage, follow the requirements and recommendations concerning vehicles
used for trailer towing.
Common Towing Definitions
The following trailer towing related definitions will assist you in understanding the following
information:
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)
The GVWR is the total allowable weight of your vehicle. This includes driver, passengers, cargo
and tongue weight. The total load must be limited so that you do not exceed the GVWR.
Gross Trailer Weight (GTW)
The gross trailer weight (GTW) is the weight of the trailer plus the weight of all cargo, consumables
and equipment (permanent or temporary) loaded in or on the trailer in its "loaded and ready for
operation" condition. The recommended way to measure GTW is to put your fully loaded trailer on
a vehicle scale. The entire weight of the trailer must be supported by the scale.
Gross Combination Weight Rating (GCWR)
The gross combination weight rating (GCWR) is the total permissible weight of your vehicle and
trailer when weighed in combination. (Note that GCWR ratings include a 68 kg (150 lbs) allowance
for the presence of a driver).
Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR)
The GAWR is the maximum capacity of the front and rear axles. Distribute the load over the front
and rear axles evenly. Make sure that you do not exceed either front or rear GAWR.
WARNING: It is important that you do not exceed the maximum front or rear GAWR. A dangerous
driving condition can result if either rating is exceeded. You could lose control of the vehicle and
have an accident.
Tongue Weight (TW)
The downward force exerted on the hitch ball by the trailer. In most cases it should not be less than
10% or more than 15% of the trailer load. You must consider this as part of the load on your
vehicle.
Frontal Area
The maximum height and maximum width of the front of a trailer.
Trailer Sway Control
The trailer sway control is a telescoping link that can be installed between the hitch receiver and
the trailer tongue that typically provides adjustable friction associated with the telescoping motion to
dampen any unwanted trailer swaying motions while traveling.
Weight-Carrying Hitch
A weight-carrying hitch supports the trailer tongue weight, just as if it were luggage located at a
hitch ball or some other connecting point of the truck. These kind of hitches are the most popular
on the market today and they're commonly used to tow small- and medium-sized trailers.
Weight-Distributing Hitch
A weight-distributing system works by applying leverage through spring (load) bars. They are
typically used for heavier loads, to distribute trailer tongue weight to the tow vehicle's front axle and
the trailer axle(s). When used in accordance with the manufacturers' directions, it provides for a
more level ride, offering more consistent steering and brake control thereby enhancing towing
safety. The addition of a friction / hydraulic sway control also dampens sway caused by traffic and
crosswinds and contributes positively to tow vehicle and trailer stability. Trailer sway control and a
weight distributing (load equalizing) hitch are recommended for heavier Tongue Weights (TW) and
may be required depending on Vehicle and Trailer configuration / loading to comply with gross axle
weight rating (GAWR) requirements.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Towing / Trailer System > Towing Information >
System Information > Service and Repair > Towing > Page 13029
WARNING: An improperly adjusted Weight Distributing Hitch system may reduce handling,
stability, braking performance, and could result in an accident.
Weight Distributing Systems may not be compatible with Surge Brake Couplers. Consult with your
hitch and trailer manufacturer or a reputable Recreational Vehicle dealer for additional information.
Fifth-Wheel Hitch
A special high platform with a coupling that mounts over the rear axle of the tow vehicle in the truck
bed. Connects a vehicle and fifth-wheel trailer with a coupling king pin.
Gooseneck Hitch
The gooseneck hitch employs a pivoted coupling arm which attaches to a ball mounted in the bed
of a pickup truck. The coupling arm connects to the hitch mounted over the rear axle in the truck
bed.
Trailer Hitch Classification
The rear bumper is intended to tow trailers up to 2,000 lbs (907 kg) without added equipment or
alterations to the standard equipment. Your vehicle may be factory equipped for safe towing of
trailers weighing over 2,000 lbs (907 kg) with the optional Trailer Tow Prep Package. See your
dealer for package content.
The following chart provides the industry standard for the maximum trailer weight a given trailer
hitch class can tow and should be used to assist you in selecting the correct trailer hitch for your
intended towing condition.
All trailer hitches should be professionally installed on your vehicle.
Trailer Towing Weights (Maximum Trailer Weight Ratings)
Trailer and Tongue Weight

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Towing / Trailer System > Towing Information >
System Information > Service and Repair > Towing > Page 13030
Always load a trailer with 60% to 65% of the weight in the front of the trailer. This places 10% to
15% of the Gross Trailer Weight (GTW) on the tow hitch of your vehicle. Loads balanced over the
wheels or heavier in the rear can cause the trailer to swayseverely side to side which will cause
loss of control of vehicle and trailer. Failure to load trailers heavier in front is the cause of many
trailer accidents.
Never exceed the maximum tongue weight stamped on your bumper or trailer hitch.
Consider the following items when computing the weight on the rear axle of the vehicle:
- The tongue weight of the trailer.
- The weight of any other type of cargo or equipment put in or on your vehicle.
- The weight of the driver and all passengers.
NOTE: Remember that everything put into or on the trailer adds to the load on your vehicle. Also,
additional factory-installed options, or dealer-installed options, must be considered as part of the
total load on your vehicle.
Towing Requirements
To promote proper break-in of your new vehicle drivetrain components the following guidelines are
recommended:
CAUTION:
- Avoid towing a trailer for the first 500 miles (805 km) of vehicle operation. Doing so may damage
your vehicle.
- During the first 500 miles (805 km) of trailer towing, limit your speed to 50 mph (80 km/h).
WARNING: Your vehicle may require special axle lubricant.
Perform the maintenance listed of this manual. When towing a trailer, never exceed the GAWR, or
GCWR, ratings.
WARNING: Improper towing can lead to an injury accident. Follow these guidelines to make your
trailer towing as safe as possible:
Make certain that the load is secured in the trailer and will not shift during travel. When trailering
cargo that is not fully secured, dynamic load shifts can occur that may be difficult for the driver to
control. You could lose control of your vehicle and have an accident.
- When hauling cargo or towing a trailer, do not overload your vehicle or trailer. Overloading can
cause a loss of control, poor performance or damage to brakes, axle, engine, transmission,
steering, suspension, chassis structure or tires.
- Safety chains must always be used between your vehicle and trailer. Always connect the chains
to the frame or hook retainers of the vehicle hitch. Cross the chains under the trailer tongue and
allow enough slack for turning corners.
- Vehicles with trailers should not be parked on a grade. When parking, apply the parking brake on
the tow vehicle. Put the tow vehicle automatic transmission in P for Park. With a manual
transmission, shift the transmission into reverse. And with four-wheel-drive vehicles, make sure the
transfer case is not in neutral. Always, block or "chock" the trailer wheels.
- GCWR must not be exceeded.
- Total weight must be distributed between the tow vehicle and the trailer such that the following
four ratings are not exceeded:
- GVWR
- GTW
- GAWR
- Tongue weight rating for the trailer hitch utilized (This requirement may limit the ability to always
achieve the 10% to 15% range of tongue weight as a percentage of total trailer weight).
Towing Requirements - Tires
- Do not attempt to tow a trailer while using a compact spare tire.
Dodge Ram 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (Truck V8-4.7L (2008))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Towing / Trailer System > Towing Information >
System Information > Service and Repair > Towing > Page 13031
- Proper tire inflation pressures are essential to the safe and satisfactory operation of your vehicle.
- Also, check the trailer tires for proper tire inflation pressures before trailer usage.
- Check for signs of tire wear or visible tire damage before towing a trailer.
- When replacing tires, Replacing tires with a higher load carrying capacity will not increase the
vehicle's GVWR and GAWR limits.
Towing Requirements - Trailer Brakes
- Do not interconnect the hydraulic brake system or vacuum system of your vehicle with that of the
trailer. This could cause inadequate braking and possible personal injury.
- An electronically actuated trailer brake controller is required when towing a trailer with
electronically actuated brakes. When towing a trailer equipped with a hydraulic surge actuated
brake system, an electronic brake controller is not required.
- Trailer brakes are recommended for trailers over 1,000 lbs (454 kg) and required for trailers in
excess of 2,000 lbs (907 kg).
CAUTION: If the trailer weighs more than 1,000 lbs (454 kg) loaded, it should have its own brakes
and they should be of adequate capacity. Failure to do this could lead to accelerated brake lining
wear, higher brake pedal effort, and longer stopping distances.
WARNING: Do not connect trailer brakes to your vehicle's hydraulic brake lines. It can overload
your brake system and cause it to fail. You might not have brakes when you need them and could
have an accident.
Towing any trailer will increase your stopping distance. When towing you should allow for additional
space between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you. Failure to do so could result in an
accident.
Towing Requirements - Trailer Lights & Wiring
Whenever you pull a trailer, regardless of the trailer size, stop lights and turn signals on the trailer
are required for motoring safety.
The Trailer Tow Package may include a 4 and 7 pin wiring harness. Use a factory approved trailer
harness and connector.
NOTE: Do not cut or splice wiring into the vehicles wiring harness.
The electrical connections are all complete to the vehicle but you must mate the harness to a trailer
connector. Refer to the following illustrations.
Towing Tips
Before setting out on a trip, practice turning, stopping and backing the trailer in an area away from
heavy traffic.
If using a manual transmission vehicle for trailer towing, all starts must be in FIRST gear to avoid
excessive clutch slippage.
Towing Tips - Automatic Transmission
Dodge Ram 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (Truck V8-4.7L (2008))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Towing / Trailer System > Towing Information >
System Information > Service and Repair > Towing > Page 13032
The "D" range can be selected when towing. However, if frequent shifting occurs while in this
range, the "TOW HAUL" or "OD/OFF" range should be selected.
NOTE: Using the "TOW HAUL" or "OD/OFF" range while operating the vehicle under heavy
operating conditions will improve performance and extend transmission life by reducing excessive
shifting and heat build up. This action will also provide better engine braking.
The automatic transmission fluid and filter should be changed if you REGULARLY tow a trailer for
more than 45 minutes of continuous operation.
NOTE: Check the automatic transmission fluid level before towing.
Towing Tips - Tow/Haul (If Equipped)
To reduce potential for automatic transmission overheating, turn the "TOW HAUL OD/OFF" feature
ON when driving in hilly areas or shift the transmission to Drive position 2 on more severe grades.
Towing Tips - Electronic Speed Control (If Equipped)
- Don't use in hilly terrain or with heavy loads.
- When using the speed control, if you experience speed drops greater than 10 mph (16 km/h),
disengage until you can get back to cruising speed.
- Use speed control in flat terrain and with light loads to maximize fuel efficiency.
Towing Tips - Cooling System
To reduce potential for engine and transmission overheating, take the following actions:
- City Driving - When stopped for short periods of time, put transmission in neutral and increase
engine idle speed.
- Highway Driving - Reduce speed.
- Air Conditioning - Turn off temporarily.
- refer to Cooling System Operating information in the Maintenance section of this manual for more

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
All switches, components, and modules are shown in the at rest position with the doors closed and
the key removed from the ignition.
Components are shown two ways. A solid line around a component indicates that the component is
complete. A dashed line around the component indicates that the component is being shown is not
complete. Incomplete components have a reference number to indicate the page where the
component is shown complete.
It is important to realize that no attempt is made on the diagrams to represent components and
wiring as they appear on the vehicle. For example, a short piece of wire is treated the same as a
long one. In addition, switches and other components are shown as simply as possible, with regard
to function only.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) SENSITIVE DEVICES
All ESD sensitive components are solid state and a symbol is used to indicate this. When handling
any component with this symbol, comply with the following procedures to reduce the possibility of
electrostatic charge build up on the body and inadvertent discharge into the component. If it is not
known whether the part is ESD sensitive, assume that it is.
1. Always touch a known good ground before handling the part. This should be repeated while
handling the part and more frequently after sliding
across a seat, sitting down from a standing position, or walking a distance.
2. Avoid touching electrical terminals of the part, unless instructed to do so by a written procedure.
3. When using a voltmeter, be sure to connect the ground lead first. 4. Do not remove the part from
it's protective packing until it is time to install the part. 5. Before removing the part from it's
package, ground the package to a known good ground on the vehicle.

Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- Ohmmeter - Used to check the resistance between two points of a circuit. Low or no resistance in
a circuit means good continuity.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking resistance in these circuits use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
In addition, make sure the power is disconnected from the circuit. Circuits that are powered up by
the vehicle's electrical system can cause damage to the equipment and provide false readings.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Towing / Trailer System > Trailer Connector >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 13073
- Probing Tools - These tools are used for probing terminals in connectors. Select the proper size
tool from Special Tool Package 6807, and insert the probing end (2) into the terminal being tested.
Use the other end of the tool (1) to insert the meter probe.
INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent electrical problems are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. It is also
possible for a sticking component or relay to cause a problem. Before condemning a component or
wiring assembly, check the following items.
- Connectors are fully seated
- Spread terminals, or terminal push out
- Terminals in the wiring assembly are fully seated into the connector/component and locked into
position
- Dirt or corrosion on the terminals. Any amount of corrosion or dirt could cause an intermittent
problem
- Damaged connector/component casing exposing the item to dirt or moisture
- Wire insulation that has rubbed through causing a short to ground
- Some or all of the wiring strands broken inside of the insulation
- Wiring broken inside of the insulation
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are six steps which can aid in the procedure. The
steps are listed and explained below. Always check for non-factory items added to the vehicle
before doing any diagnosis. If the vehicle is equipped with these items, disconnect them to verify
these add-on items are not the cause of the problem.
1. Verify the problem. 2. Verify any related symptoms. Do this by performing operational checks on
components that are in the same circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams. 3. Analyze the symptoms.
Use the wiring diagrams to determine what the circuit is doing, where the problem most likely is
occurring and where the
diagnosis will continue.
4. Isolate the problem area. 5. Repair the problem area. 6. Verify the proper operation. For this
step, check for proper operation of all items on the repaired circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams.

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
All switches, components, and modules are shown in the at rest position with the doors closed and
the key removed from the ignition.
Components are shown two ways. A solid line around a component indicates that the component is
complete. A dashed line around the component indicates that the component is being shown is not
complete. Incomplete components have a reference number to indicate the page where the
component is shown complete.
It is important to realize that no attempt is made on the diagrams to represent components and
wiring as they appear on the vehicle. For example, a short piece of wire is treated the same as a
long one. In addition, switches and other components are shown as simply as possible, with regard
to function only.

Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- Ohmmeter - Used to check the resistance between two points of a circuit. Low or no resistance in
a circuit means good continuity.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking resistance in these circuits use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
In addition, make sure the power is disconnected from the circuit. Circuits that are powered up by
the vehicle's electrical system can cause damage to the equipment and provide false readings.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Towing / Trailer System > Trailer Lamps > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 13113
- Probing Tools - These tools are used for probing terminals in connectors. Select the proper size
tool from Special Tool Package 6807, and insert the probing end (2) into the terminal being tested.
Use the other end of the tool (1) to insert the meter probe.
INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent electrical problems are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. It is also
possible for a sticking component or relay to cause a problem. Before condemning a component or
wiring assembly, check the following items.
- Connectors are fully seated
- Spread terminals, or terminal push out
- Terminals in the wiring assembly are fully seated into the connector/component and locked into
position
- Dirt or corrosion on the terminals. Any amount of corrosion or dirt could cause an intermittent
problem
- Damaged connector/component casing exposing the item to dirt or moisture
- Wire insulation that has rubbed through causing a short to ground
- Some or all of the wiring strands broken inside of the insulation
- Wiring broken inside of the insulation
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are six steps which can aid in the procedure. The
steps are listed and explained below. Always check for non-factory items added to the vehicle
before doing any diagnosis. If the vehicle is equipped with these items, disconnect them to verify
these add-on items are not the cause of the problem.
1. Verify the problem. 2. Verify any related symptoms. Do this by performing operational checks on
components that are in the same circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams. 3. Analyze the symptoms.
Use the wiring diagrams to determine what the circuit is doing, where the problem most likely is
occurring and where the
diagnosis will continue.
4. Isolate the problem area. 5. Repair the problem area. 6. Verify the proper operation. For this
step, check for proper operation of all items on the repaired circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams.

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
All switches, components, and modules are shown in the at rest position with the doors closed and
the key removed from the ignition.
Components are shown two ways. A solid line around a component indicates that the component is
complete. A dashed line around the component indicates that the component is being shown is not
complete. Incomplete components have a reference number to indicate the page where the
component is shown complete.
It is important to realize that no attempt is made on the diagrams to represent components and
wiring as they appear on the vehicle. For example, a short piece of wire is treated the same as a
long one. In addition, switches and other components are shown as simply as possible, with regard
to function only.

DESCRIPTION - CONNECTOR, GROUND AND SPLICE INFORMATION
CAUTION: Not all connectors are serviced. Some connectors are serviced only with a harness. A
typical example might be the Supplemental Restraint System connectors. Always check parts
availability before attempting a repair.
IDENTIFICATION
In-line connectors are identified by a number, as follows:
- In-line connectors located in the engine compartment are C100 series numbers.
- In-line connectors located in the instrument panel area are C200 series numbers.
- In-line connectors located in the body are C300 series numbers.
- Jumper harness connectors are C400 series numbers.
- Grounds and ground connectors are identified with a "G" and follow the same series numbering
as the in-line connectors.
- Splices are identified with an "S" and follow the same series numbering as the in-line connectors.
In addition, S001-S099 numbers are located in the engine compartment.
- Component connectors are identified by the component name instead of a number. Multiple
connectors on a component use a C1, C2, etc. identifier.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) SENSITIVE DEVICES
All ESD sensitive components are solid state and a symbol is used to indicate this. When handling
any component with this symbol, comply with the following procedures to reduce the possibility of
electrostatic charge build up on the body and inadvertent discharge into the component. If it is not
known whether the part is ESD sensitive, assume that it is.
1. Always touch a known good ground before handling the part. This should be repeated while
handling the part and more frequently after sliding
across a seat, sitting down from a standing position, or walking a distance.
2. Avoid touching electrical terminals of the part, unless instructed to do so by a written procedure.
3. When using a voltmeter, be sure to connect the ground lead first. 4. Do not remove the part from
it's protective packing until it is time to install the part. 5. Before removing the part from it's
package, ground the package to a known good ground on the vehicle.

Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- Ohmmeter - Used to check the resistance between two points of a circuit. Low or no resistance in
a circuit means good continuity.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking resistance in these circuits use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
In addition, make sure the power is disconnected from the circuit. Circuits that are powered up by
the vehicle's electrical system can cause damage to the equipment and provide false readings.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Trailer Connector > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 13153
- Probing Tools - These tools are used for probing terminals in connectors. Select the proper size
tool from Special Tool Package 6807, and insert the probing end (2) into the terminal being tested.
Use the other end of the tool (1) to insert the meter probe.
INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent electrical problems are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. It is also
possible for a sticking component or relay to cause a problem. Before condemning a component or
wiring assembly, check the following items.
- Connectors are fully seated
- Spread terminals, or terminal push out
- Terminals in the wiring assembly are fully seated into the connector/component and locked into
position
- Dirt or corrosion on the terminals. Any amount of corrosion or dirt could cause an intermittent
problem
- Damaged connector/component casing exposing the item to dirt or moisture
- Wire insulation that has rubbed through causing a short to ground
- Some or all of the wiring strands broken inside of the insulation
- Wiring broken inside of the insulation
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are six steps which can aid in the procedure. The
steps are listed and explained below. Always check for non-factory items added to the vehicle
before doing any diagnosis. If the vehicle is equipped with these items, disconnect them to verify
these add-on items are not the cause of the problem.
1. Verify the problem. 2. Verify any related symptoms. Do this by performing operational checks on
components that are in the same circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams. 3. Analyze the symptoms.
Use the wiring diagrams to determine what the circuit is doing, where the problem most likely is
occurring and where the
diagnosis will continue.
4. Isolate the problem area. 5. Repair the problem area. 6. Verify the proper operation. For this
step, check for proper operation of all items on the repaired circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams.

Trip Computer: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
NOTE: The Compass Mini-Trip Computer (CMTC) module is sometimes referred to as Electronic
Overhead Module (EOM) for the purposes of scan tool and diagnostic information naming. Please
treat the CMTC and EOM as one and the same when diagnosing the vehicle.
The Compass Mini-Trip Computer (CMTC) is located in the overhead console and consists of the
following components:
- HomeLink(R) transceiver (3) - if equipped
- Vacuum-Fluorescent Display (VFD) (6)
- Push button function switches (1, 2, 3, 4 and 5)
- Replaceable light bulbs to illuminate the push button function switches
The CMTC contains a central processing unit and interfaces with other electronic modules in the
vehicle on the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus. The CAN data bus allows the sharing of
sensor information. This helps to reduce wire harness complexity, reduce internal controller
hardware, and reduce component sensor current loads. At the same time, this system provides
increased reliability, enhanced diagnostics, and allows the addition of many new feature
capabilities. The individual components of the CMTC module are not serviced separately and if
damaged or inoperative, must be replaced as a unit.
The CMTC provides several electronic functions and features. Some of the functions and features
that the CMTC supports and/or controls, include the following display options:
-
Compass and Temperature - provides the outside temperature and one of eight compass readings
to indicate the direction the vehicle is facing.
- Trip Odometer (ODO) - shows the distance travelled since the last trip computer reset.
- Average Fuel Economy (AVG ECO) - shows the average fuel economy since the last reset.
Average fuel economy is a running average of the amount of fuel used and the distance the vehicle
has traveled. When the fuel economy is reset, the display will momentarily blank. Then, the display
will show the same value as before the rest. The reset value is based on a minimal amount of fuel
used and the distance traveled from the previous drive cycle. The display may take several miles
for this value to change dependent upon driving habits.
- Distance To Empty (DTE) - shows the estimated distance that can be traveled with the fuel
remaining in the tank. This estimated distance is determined by weighted average of the
instantaneous and average fuel economy, according to the current fuel tank level. This is not
resettable. Significant changes in driving style or vehicle loading will greatly affect the actual
drivable distance of the vehicle, regardless of the DTE displayed value. When the DTE value is
less than 30 miles estimated driving distance, the DTE display will change to an alternating test
display of "LO" and "FUEL". This display will continue until the vehicle runs out of fuel. Adding a
significant amount of fuel to the vehicle will turn off the "LO FUEL" text and a new DTE value will be
displayed, based on the current values in the DTE calculation and the current fuel tank level.
Elapsed time (ET) - shows the accumulated ignition-on time since the last trip computer reset.
- Blank screen - the compass mini-trip computer VFD is turned off or in Blank Screen Mode.
COMPASS
NOTE: If the compass functions, but accuracy is suspect, it may be necessary to perform a
variance adjustment. This procedure allows the compass unit to accommodate variances in the
earth's magnetic field strength, based on geographic location. See: Instrument Panel, Gauges and
Warning Indicators/Compass/Service and Repair/Procedures/Compass Mini-Trip
Computer/Compass Variance Adjustment - CMTC for the appropriate procedure.
While in the compass/temperature mode, the compass will display the direction in which the vehicle
is pointed using the eight major compass headings (Examples: north is N, northeast is NE). The
auto-calibrating compass unit requires no manual adjusting in normal use. The only calibration that
may

and Operation > Description > Page 13171
prove necessary is to drive the vehicle in one or two complete circles, on level ground, not
exceeding 8 km/h (5 mph). This will reorient the compass unit to its vehicle.
The compass unit also will compensate for vehicle magnetism acquired during normal use.
However, avoid placing anything magnetic directly on the roof of the vehicle. Magnetic mounts for
an antenna, a repair order hat, or a funeral procession flag can exceed the compensating ability of
the compass unit if placed on the roof panel. Magnetic bit drivers used on the fasteners that hold
the overhead console assembly to the roof header can also affect compass operation. If the vehicle
roof should become magnetized, See: Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning
Indicators/Compass/Service and Repair/Procedures/Compass Mini-Trip Computer/Compass
Demagnetizing - CMTC to restore proper compass operation.
TEMPERATURE
NOTE: The displayed temperature is not an instant reading of conditions, but an average
temperature. It may take the temperature display several minutes to respond to a major
temperature change, such as driving out of a heated garage into winter temperatures.
The temperature displays the outside ambient temperature in whole degrees. The temperature
display can be toggled from Fahrenheit to Celsius using the U.S./Metric push button.
Displayed temperature reading stays in the temperature unit memory. When the ignition switch is
turned to the On position, the temperature will display the memory temperature if the engine OFF
time is less than 255 minutes. If the engine OFF time is more than 255 minutes, the temperature
will display the actual temperature sensed by the ambient temperature sensor. The temperature
display update interval varies with the vehicle speed.
The temperature function is supported by an ambient temperature sensor. This sensor is mounted
outside the passenger compartment near the front and center of the vehicle, and is hard wired to
the Front Control Module (FCM). The instrument cluster, also known as the Cab Compartment
Node (CCN) averages and filters the ambient temperature signal and supplies it to other modules
on the CAN data bus. Data input for all other compass mini-trip computer functions, including VFD
dimming level, is received through CAN data bus messages. The maximum temperature displayed
is 66°C (140° F). It could take several miles for the accurate temperature to be displayed as the
CCN filters out heat from the engine compartment.
The CMTC uses its internal programming and all of these inputs to calculate and display the
requested data. If the data displayed is incorrect, perform the self-diagnostic tests, as described in
this group. If these tests prove inconclusive, the use of a scan tool and the proper Diagnostic
Procedures Information are recommended for further testing of the CMTC and the CAN data bus.
NOTE: The CMTC will display min and max temperatures of -40° C (-40° F) and 66°C (140° F).

Trip Computer: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The Compass Mini-Trip Computer (CMTC) only operates with the ignition switch in the On position
and the Ignition Off Draw (IOD) fuse functioning and in place. When the ignition switch is turned to
the On position, all of the segments in the CMTC Vacuum-Fluorescent Display (VFD) will be turned
off for one second, then the display will return to the last function being displayed before the
ignition was turned to the Off position. With the ignition switch in the On position, momentarily
depressing and releasing the STEP push button (4) will cause the CMTC to change its mode of
operation. Momentarily depressing and releasing the U.S./M push button (1) will cause the unit to
toggle between U.S. and Metric measurements. Momentarily depressing and releasing the C/T
(compass/temperature) push button (5) will cause the CMTC to return to the compass/temperature
display mode from any other mode.
Pressing the RESET push button (2) for more than one second with the ignition switch in the On
position will reset the following CMTC functions:
- Average Fuel Economy (AVG ECO)
- Trip Odometer (ODO)
- Elapsed Time (ET)
However, the reset will only occur if the function currently displayed is a function that can be reset.
If the RESET push button is pressed twice within two seconds while in any of the three resettable
functions (AVG ECO, ODO, ET), all three of these functions will be reset.

Trip Computer: Testing and Inspection
COMPASS MINI-TRIP COMPUTER
NOTE: The temperature, fuel economy, distance to empty and trip odometer are calculated in the
Cab Compartment Node (CCN) and transferred to the Compass Mini-Trip Computer (CMTC) for
display. If the CMTC and Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) test OK, testing of the CCN and
Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus circuit may be necessary. Refer to the proper Diagnostic
Procedures Information to test the CCN and CAN data bus circuit.
If the problem with the CMTC is an inaccurate or scrambled display, refer to SELF- DIAGNOSTIC
TEST. If the problem with the CMTC is incorrect Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) dimming
levels, use a scan tool and the proper Diagnostic Procedures Information to test for the correct
dimming message inputs being received from the Cab Compartment Node (CCN) or Front Control
Module (FCM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus circuit. If the problem is a
no-display condition, use the following procedure.
For complete circuit diagrams, refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wiring information
includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector repair procedures, details of wire harness
routing and retention, connector pin-out information and location views for the various wire harness
connectors, splices and grounds.
1. Remove the overhead console from the headliner See: Body and Frame/Interior Moulding /
Trim/Console/Service and Repair/Overhead
Console/Removal .
2. Inspect the Ignition Off Draw (IOD) fuse in the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM). If the
IOD fuse is OK and in place, go to STEP 3. If not
OK, repair the open IOD fuse circuit as required.
3. Check for battery voltage at the overhead console electrical connector. If OK, go to STEP 4. If
not OK, Check for battery voltage at the
appropriate B(+) fuse in the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM), repair the open fused B(+)
circuit as required.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the On position. Check the fused ignition switch output circuit(s) at the
overhead console electrical connector. If OK,
go to STEP 5. If not OK, repair the open or shorted circuit as required.
5. Turn the ignition switch to the Off position. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
Check for continuity between the ground circuit
cavity of the overhead console electrical connector and a good ground. There should be continuity.
If OK, refer to SELF- DIAGNOSTIC TEST for further diagnosis of the CMTC module and the CAN
data bus circuit. If not OK, repair the open ground circuit as required.
SELF- DIAGNOSTIC TEST
NOTE: The CMTC self - test can also be performed using a scan tool. Navigate to the Auto Self
Test screen under System Tests of the scan tool and initiate the CMTC self - test.
A self-diagnostic test is used to determine that the CMTC is operating properly electrically. Initiate
the self-diagnostic test as follows:
1. With the ignition switch in the Off position, simultaneously depress and hold the STEP and
RESET buttons while rotating the ignition switch to
the Run/On position.
2. Continue to hold both buttons depressed until the CMTC enters the display segment test. In this
test, all of the Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD)
segments are lighted while the CMTC performs the following checks: Non-Volatile Memory Status (NVM)
- RAM Status
- ROM Status
- ASIC Communication Status
- Compass Status
- DC Status
- CAN Data Bus Communications Status
NOTE: If the CMTC module is equipped with the Universal Transmitter (also known as
HomeLink(R)), the module also checks "HomeLink(R) Communication Test Status".
3. Following completion of these tests, the CMTC will display one of two messages: "FAIL" or
"PASS." Press the RESET or STEP button to exit
and enter normal mode. Respond to these test results as follows: If no test result message is displayed, but CMTC operation is still improper, the use of a scan tool
and the proper Diagnostic Procedures Information are required for further diagnosis.
- If the "FAIL" message is displayed, the CMTC is inoperative and must be replaced.
- If the "PASS" message is displayed, the CMTC is OK, no faults are present.
- If any VFD segment does not light during the display segment test, the CMTC is inoperative and
must be replaced.
If the first seven tests pass, the CMTC shall verify that all the required CAN bus messages are
present on the CAN bus. If all required messages are present on the CAN bus, the CMTC will
automatically return to normal operation after sixty seconds. The CMTC can also be returned to
normal operation any time during the test by pressing the STEP , CT , RESET or US/M buttons.
NOTE: Pressing the STEP or RESET buttons during any portion of the CMTC Self - Diagnostic
Test Procedure will cause the CMTC to exit diagnostics and return to compass/temperature mode.

NOTE: If the compass functions, but accuracy is suspect, it may be necessary to perform a
variance adjustment. This procedure allows the compass unit to accommodate variations in the
earth's magnetic field strength, based on geographic location.
NOTE: If the compass reading has blanked out, and only "CAL" appears in the display,
demagnetizing may be necessary to remove excessive residual magnetic fields from the vehicle.
Check for stored Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and follow the proper Diagnostic Procedures
Information as needed.

Trip Computer: Procedures
Manual Compass Calibration - CMTC
MANUAL COMPASS CALIBRATION
CAUTION: Do not place any external magnets, such as magnetic roof mount antennas, in the
vicinity of the overhead console. Do not use magnetic tools when servicing the overhead console.
NOTE: Whenever the compass is calibrated manually, the variance number must also be reset.
See: Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators/Compass/Service and
Repair/Procedures/Compass Mini-Trip Computer/Compass Variance Adjustment - CMTC for the
appropriate procedure.
The electronic compass unit features a self-calibrating design, which simplifies the calibration
procedure. This feature automatically updates the compass calibration while the vehicle is being
driven. This allows the compass unit to compensate for small changes in the residual magnetism
that the vehicle may acquire during normal use. If the compass readings appear to be erratic or out
of calibration, perform the following calibration procedure. Also, new service replacement Compass
Mini-Trip Computer (CMTC) modules must have their compass calibrated using this procedure. Do
not attempt to calibrate the compass near large metal objects such as other vehicles, large
buildings, or bridges; or, near overhead or underground power lines.
Calibrate the compass manually as follows:
1. Turn the ignition switch to the On position. If the compass/temperature data is not currently being
displayed, momentarily depress and release the
C/T push button (5) to return to the compass/temperature display.
2. Depress and hold the RESET push button (2). Hold the push button down until "CAL" appears in
the display. This takes about ten seconds. 3. Slowly drive the vehicle on a level surface, away from
large metal objects and power lines, through one or two complete circles not exceeding 8
km/h (5 mph). The "CAL" message will disappear from the display to indicate that the compass is
now calibrated.
NOTE: A blank compass display indicates that vehicle degaussing (demagnetizing) may be
necessary.
NOTE: If the "CAL" message remains in the display, either there is excessive magnetism near the
compass, or the CMTC is inoperative. Attempt the calibration procedure at least one more time
before performing CMTC diagnosis.
NOTE: If the wrong direction is still indicated in the compass display, the area selected for
calibration may be too close to a strong magnetic field. Repeat the calibration procedure in another
location.
Compass Demagnetizing - CMTC
COMPASS DEMAGNETIZING
Dodge Ram 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (Truck V8-4.7L (2008))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Trip Computer > Component Information > Service and
Repair > Procedures > Page 13177
A degaussing tool (Special Tool 6029) is used to demagnetize, or degauss, the overhead console
forward mounting screw and the roof panel above the overhead console. Equivalent units must be
rated as continuous duty for 110/115 volts and 60 Hz. They must also have a field strength of over
350 gauss at 7 millimeters (0.25 inch) beyond the tip of the probe.
To demagnetize the roof panel and the overhead console forward mounting screw, proceed as
follows:
1. Be certain that the ignition switch is in the Off position, before you begin the demagnetizing
procedure. 2. Connect the degaussing tool to an electrical outlet, while keeping the tool at least 61
centimeters (2 feet) away from the compass unit. 3. Slowly approach the head of the overhead
console forward mounting screw with the degaussing tool connected. 4. Contact the head of the
screw with the plastic coated tip of the degaussing tool for about two seconds. 5. With the
degaussing tool still energized, slowly back it away from the screw. When the tip of the tool is at
least 61 centimeters (2 feet) from the
screw head, disconnect the tool.
6. Place a piece of paper approximately 22 by 28 centimeters (8.5 by 11 inches), oriented on the
vehicle lengthwise from front to rear, on the center
line of the roof at the windshield header. The purpose of the paper is to protect the roof panel from
scratches, and to define the area to be demagnetized.
7. Connect the degaussing tool to an electrical outlet, while keeping the tool at least 61 centimeters
(2 feet) away from the compass unit. 8. Slowly approach the center line of the roof panel at the
windshield header, with the degaussing tool connected. 9. Contact the roof panel with the plastic
coated tip of the degaussing tool. Be sure that the template is in place to avoid scratching the roof
panel.
Using a slow, back-and-forth sweeping motion, and allowing 13 millimeters (0.50 inch) between
passes, move the tool at least 11 centimeters (4 inches) to each side of the roof center line, and 28
centimeters (11 inches) back from the windshield header.
10. With the degaussing tool still energized, slowly back it away from the roof panel. When the tip
of the tool is at least 61 centimeters (2 feet) from
the roof panel, disconnect the tool.
11. Calibrate the compass, See: Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning
Indicators/Compass/Service and Repair/Procedures/Compass Mini-Trip
Computer/Manual Compass Calibration - CMTC and adjust the compass variance, See: Instrument
Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators/Compass/Service and Repair/Procedures/Compass

COMPASS VARIANCE ADJUSTMENT
Compass variance, also known as magnetic declination, is the difference in angle between
magnetic north and true geographic north. In some geographic locations, the difference between
magnetic and geographic north is great enough to cause the compass to give false readings. If this
problem occurs, the compass variance must be set.
NOTE: If the vehicle is taken on long trips into a new variance zone the compass function may be
effected. Compass variance may need to be adjusted to the new zone number to function properly.
NOTE: The default for the compass variance from the factory is 8.
To set the compass variance:
1. Using the Variance Settings Map, find your geographic location and note the zone number.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the On/Run position. If the compass/temperature data is not currently
being displayed, momentarily depress and release
the C/T push button (5) to return to the compass/temperature display.
3. Press and hold the RESET push button (2) down for approximately five seconds. The last
variance zone number will be displayed. 4. Momentarily depress and release the STEP push
button (4) to toggle through the zone numbers (1-15), until the zone number for your geographic
location appears in the display.
5. Momentarily depress and release the RESET push button (2) to enter the displayed zone
number into the compass unit memory. 6. Confirm that the correct directions are now indicated by
the compass.

Description and Operation
Winch Motor: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION
MOTOR
The winch is driven on one end by a two direction electric motor powered by the vehicle electrical
system. The motor is internally protected by a thermal switch that is activated when the motor gets
too hot to operate efficiently.
Winch motor controls consist of a relay pack mounted to the motor, and a remote control
connected to the relay pack with a cord. The winch power source cables are connected to the relay
pack which in turn feeds power to the winch motor through electrical cable connections. The main
function of the relay pack is to allow the operator to switch the winch on and off in both directions.
The winch relay pack also includes a Low Voltage Interrupt (LVI) used to prevent winch operation
in the event of battery power dropping below 10 volts.

Description and Operation
Winch Relay: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION
RELAY PACK
Electrical operation of the control assembly consists of four heavy duty relays, a thermal-switch
located on the motor armature brush holder and a Low Voltage Interrupt (LVI) located in the control
assembly. The thermal-switch interrupts the power-in function and the LVI affects both the power-in
and power-out functions and must be reset by allowing the charging circuit voltage to rise above 10
volts for more than 30 seconds. The thermal switch is reset only by allowing the winch motor to
cool adequately (about 30 minutes). Relay number 1 and 3 control current flow through the field
windings and relay number 2 and 4 supply current to the motor armature.
Operation
In the power-out mode, relay number 2 and 3 are energized by the remote control switch. Current
flows from the positive battery terminal through relay number 3 then through the black motor cable
to the number 2 and number 1 field windings. From the black motor cable current then flows
through solenoid number 2 to the motor armature to ground.
In power-in mode, relay number 1 and 4 are energized. Current again flows from the battery
positive cable, but this time current flows through solenoid number 1 then through field winding
number 1. Current flowing in the reverse direction through the field windings cause the motor to
turn in the opposite direction. From the red motor cable current then flows through relay number 4
to the black cable going to the motor armature to ground.

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
All switches, components, and modules are shown in the at rest position with the doors closed and
the key removed from the ignition.
Components are shown two ways. A solid line around a component indicates that the component is
complete. A dashed line around the component indicates that the component is being shown is not
complete. Incomplete components have a reference number to indicate the page where the
component is shown complete.
It is important to realize that no attempt is made on the diagrams to represent components and
wiring as they appear on the vehicle. For example, a short piece of wire is treated the same as a
long one. In addition, switches and other components are shown as simply as possible, with regard
to function only.

CAUTION: Not all connectors are serviced. Some connectors are serviced only with a harness. A
typical example might be the Supplemental Restraint System connectors. Always check parts
availability before attempting a repair.
IDENTIFICATION
In-line connectors are identified by a number, as follows:
- In-line connectors located in the engine compartment are C100 series numbers.
- In-line connectors located in the instrument panel area are C200 series numbers.
- In-line connectors located in the body are C300 series numbers.
- Jumper harness connectors are C400 series numbers.
- Grounds and ground connectors are identified with a "G" and follow the same series numbering
as the in-line connectors.
- Splices are identified with an "S" and follow the same series numbering as the in-line connectors.
In addition, S001-S099 numbers are located in the engine compartment.
- Component connectors are identified by the component name instead of a number. Multiple
connectors on a component use a C1, C2, etc. identifier.
LOCATIONS

Body Control Module: Diagnostic Aids
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Sensitive Devices
STANDARD PROCEDURE - ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) SENSITIVE DEVICES
All ESD sensitive components are solid state and a symbol is used to indicate this. When handling
any component with this symbol, comply with the following procedures to reduce the possibility of
electrostatic charge build up on the body and inadvertent discharge into the component. If it is not
known whether the part is ESD sensitive, assume that it is.
1. Always touch a known good ground before handling the part. This should be repeated while
handling the part and more frequently after sliding
across a seat, sitting down from a standing position, or walking a distance.
2. Avoid touching electrical terminals of the part, unless instructed to do so by a written procedure.
3. When using a voltmeter, be sure to connect the ground lead first. 4. Do not remove the part from
it's protective packing until it is time to install the part. 5. Before removing the part from it's
package, ground the package to a known good ground on the vehicle.
Testing Of Voltage Potential
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TESTING OF VOLTAGE POTENTIAL
1. Connect the ground lead of a voltmeter to a known good ground. 2. Connect the other lead of
the voltmeter to the selected test point. The vehicle ignition may need to be turned ON to check
voltage. Refer to the
appropriate test procedure.
Testing For Continuity

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Body Control Systems > Body Control Module > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 13257
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TESTING FOR CONTINUITY
1. Remove the fuse (1) for the circuit being checked or, disconnect the battery. 2. Connect one lead
of the ohmmeter to one side of the circuit being tested 3. Connect the other lead to the other end of
the circuit being tested. Low or no resistance means good continuity.
Testing For A Short To Ground
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TESTING FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
1. Remove the fuse and disconnect all items involved with the fuse. 2. Connect a test light or a
voltmeter across the terminals of the fuse. 3. Starting at the fuse block, wiggle the wiring harness
about six to eight inches apart and watch the voltmeter/test lamp. 4. If the voltmeter registers
voltage or the test lamp glows, there is a short to ground in that general area of the wiring harness.
Testing For A Short To Ground On Fuses Powering Several Loads
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TESTING FOR A SHORT TO GROUND ON FUSES POWERING
SEVERAL LOADS
1. Refer to the wiring diagrams and disconnect or isolate all items on the suspected fused circuits.
2. Replace the blown fuse. 3. Supply power to the fuse by turning ON the ignition switch or
re-connecting the battery. 4. Start connecting or energizing the items in the fuse circuit one at a
time. When the fuse blows the circuit with the short to ground has been isolated.
Testing For A Voltage Drop

1. Connect the positive lead of the voltmeter to the side of the circuit closest to the battery. 2.
Connect the other lead of the voltmeter to the other side of the switch, component or circuit. 3.
Operate the item. 4. The voltmeter will show the difference in voltage between the two points.
Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- Ohmmeter - Used to check the resistance between two points of a circuit. Low or no resistance in
a circuit means good continuity.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking resistance in these circuits use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
In addition, make sure the power is disconnected from the circuit. Circuits that are powered up by
the vehicle's electrical system can cause damage to the equipment and provide false readings.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Body Control Systems > Body Control Module > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 13259
- Probing Tools - These tools are used for probing terminals in connectors. Select the proper size
tool from Special Tool Package 6807, and insert the probing end (2) into the terminal being tested.
Use the other end of the tool (1) to insert the meter probe.
INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent electrical problems are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. It is also
possible for a sticking component or relay to cause a problem. Before condemning a component or
wiring assembly, check the following items.
- Connectors are fully seated
- Spread terminals, or terminal push out
- Terminals in the wiring assembly are fully seated into the connector/component and locked into
position
- Dirt or corrosion on the terminals. Any amount of corrosion or dirt could cause an intermittent
problem
- Damaged connector/component casing exposing the item to dirt or moisture
- Wire insulation that has rubbed through causing a short to ground
- Some or all of the wiring strands broken inside of the insulation
- Wiring broken inside of the insulation
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are six steps which can aid in the procedure. The
steps are listed and explained below. Always check for non-factory items added to the vehicle
before doing any diagnosis. If the vehicle is equipped with these items, disconnect them to verify
these add-on items are not the cause of the problem.
1. Verify the problem. 2. Verify any related symptoms. Do this by performing operational checks on
components that are in the same circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams. 3. Analyze the symptoms.
Use the wiring diagrams to determine what the circuit is doing, where the problem most likely is
occurring and where the
diagnosis will continue.
4. Isolate the problem area. 5. Repair the problem area. 6. Verify the proper operation. For this
step, check for proper operation of all items on the repaired circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams.

Hood Sensor/Switch (For Alarm): Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The hood ajar switch is a normally closed, single pole, spring-loaded plunger actuated switch. This
switch has two unique versions that are used in two different applications. One switch is used only
on vehicles equipped with the Vehicle Theft Alarm (VTA) system for sale in certain export markets
where protection of the underhood area is required equipment. The second switch is used only on
domestic vehicles equipped with an optional remote starter system.
The molded plastic switch body (5) has an integral molded connector receptacle (1) on the lower
end containing two terminal pins. The switch is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a
dedicated take out of the headlamp and dash wire harness. Two integral latches (2) lock the switch
into a keyed mounting hole in the stamped steel switch mounting bracket. The mounting bracket is
secured with screws to the inboard side of the right front fender load beam within the engine
compartment. A molded plastic striker secured to the underside of the hood panel inner
reinforcement actuates the switch plunger as the hood panel is closed.
The switch plunger (3) extends through a mounting collar (4) and a sleeve-like retainer ring on the
upper end of the switch body. The retainer ring has a one time, self-adjustment feature that is
activated after the switch is installed by closing the hood. The retainer ring is also color-coded to
aid in identifying the switch application. A dark brown retainer ring identifies the underhood security
switch application, while a white retainer ring identifies the remote starter system application.
An installed hood ajar switch cannot be readjusted or repaired. If the switch is damaged,
ineffective, or requires readjustment, it must be replaced with a new unit. The hood ajar switch
striker is not intended for reuse. If the striker is removed from the hood inner reinforcement for any
reason, it must be replaced with a new unit.

Hood Sensor/Switch (For Alarm): Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The hood ajar switches are interchangeable physically, but not functionally. In each case, the hood
ajar switch is a normally closed switch that is held open as the spring-loaded switch plunger is
depressed by the striker on the inner hood panel reinforcement 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.
In the underhood security application (export vehicles only - dark brown retainer ring), the switch is
connected in series between ground and the hood ajar switch sense input of the Totally Integrated
Power Module (TIPM). The TIPM uses an internal resistor pull up to monitor the state of the hood
ajar switch contacts.
In the remote starter system application (domestic vehicles only - white retainer ring) the switch has
a 1 kilohm diagnostic resistor connected in parallel to the switch contacts between the two switch
terminals. The switch is connected in series between an output of the TIPM and the hood ajar
switch sense input of the TIPM. The TIPM continually monitors this circuit and will store a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for any fault that it detects.
The components of the switch self-adjustment feature include an integral stop on the shaft of the
plunger and a ribbed, ratcheting sleeve-like retainer ring at the top of the switch body from which
the plunger extends. With the switch mounting collar secured in its mounting bracket, the plunger is
depressed by the striker on the hood inner reinforcement as the hood is closed. As the plunger is
depressed, the plunger stop contacts the top of the retainer ring and it is driven downward,
ratcheting through the switch mounting collar until the hood is fully closed and latched. The ribs on
the retainer ring are engaged within the mounting collar to maintain this adjusted position.
The hood ajar switch as well as the hard wired circuits between the switch and the TIPM may be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information. However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of
the electronic controls or communication between modules and other devices related to hood ajar
switch operation that provide some features of the export vehicle theft or domestic remote starter
systems. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the electronic controls and
communication related to hood ajar switch operation requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool.
Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Description
DESCRIPTION
When an RKE lock message is sent to the instrument cluster, the instrument cluster actuates the
door locks, the interior lighting is turned off, the horn chirps (if this feature is enabled), the park
lamps flash (if this feature is enabled) and, if the vehicle is so equipped, the Vehicle Theft Security
System (VTSS) is armed. When an RKE unlock message is sent to the instrument cluster, the
instrument cluster actuates the driver side front door (or all doors if this feature is enabled) unlock,
the interior lighting is turned on and, if the vehicle is so equipped, the VTSS is disarmed.
When an RKE panic message is sent to the instrument cluster, the instrument cluster actuates the
driver side front door (or all doors if this feature is enabled) unlock, the interior lighting is turned on
and, if the vehicle is so equipped, the VTSS is disarmed. The panic message will also cause the
exterior lamps (including the headlights) to flash, and the horn to sound for about three minutes, or
until a second panic message is sent to the instrument cluster. A vehicle speed of about 25.7
Km/h(15 mph) will also cancel the panic event.
Operation
OPERATION
Whenever the vehicle battery power is interrupted, the Remote Keyless Module (RKE) Module will
retain all vehicle access codes in its memory. When replacing or adding a key fob transmitter
(maximum of 4) a scan tool is required to program the RKE Module to accept the new Vehicle
Access Code if a customer owned transmitter is not available.
If a functioning transmitter is available, See: Keyless Entry Transmitter/Testing and
Inspection/Programming and Relearning

Keyless Entry Module: Description and Operation Sentry Key Remote Entry Module
Description
DESCRIPTION
The Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM) (1) is sometimes referred to as the Wireless
Control Module (WCM). The SKREEM is the primary component of the Sentry Key Immobilizer
System (SKIS). It is also the receiver for the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system. The SKREEM is
located on the right side of the steering column, near the ignition lock cylinder housing and is
concealed beneath the steering column shrouds. The molded black plastic housing for the
SKREEM has an integral molded plastic halo-like antenna ring (4) that extends from the bottom.
When the SKREEM is properly installed on the steering column, the antenna ring is oriented
around the circumference of the ignition lock cylinder housing.
A single integral connector receptacle (3) is located just behind the antenna ring on the bottom of
the SKREEM housing. An integral molded plastic mounting tab (2) on the rear corner of the
SKREEM housing has a hole in the center through which a screw passes to secure the unit to the
steering column. The SKREEM is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a single take
out and connector of the instrument panel wire harness.
Two SKREEM modules are used: one for vehicles equipped with RKE only, and one for vehicles
equipped with RKE and SKIS. The SKREEM cannot be adjusted or repaired. If ineffective or
damaged, the entire SKREEM unit must be replaced.
Operation
OPERATION
The Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM) (also known as the Wireless Control
Module/WCM) contains a Radio Frequency (RF) transceiver and a microprocessor. The SKREEM
transmits RF signals to, and receives RF signals from the Sentry Key transponder through a tuned
antenna enclosed within the molded plastic antenna ring integral to the SKREEM housing. If this
antenna ring is not mounted properly around the ignition lock cylinder housing, communication
problems between the SKREEM and the transponder may arise. These communication problems
will result in Sentry Key transponder-related faults.
The SKREEM also serves as the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) RF receiver. See: Power
Locks/Description and Operation/Description . The SKREEM communicates over the Controller
Area Network (CAN) data bus with the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known
as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN), the Powertrain Control Module (PCM)/Engine Control
Module (ECM) or the diagnostic scan tool.
The SKREEM and the PCM/ECM both use software that includes a rolling code algorithm strategy,
which helps to reduce the possibility of unauthorized Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS)
disarming. The rolling code algorithm ensures security by preventing an override of the SKIS
through the unauthorized substitution of the SKREEM or the PCM/ECM. However, the use of this
strategy also means that replacement of either the SKREEM or the PCM/ECM units will require a
system initialization procedure to restore system operation.
The SKREEM retains in memory the ID numbers of any Sentry Key transponder that is
programmed into it. A maximum of eight Sentry Key transponders can be programmed into the
SKREEM. For added system security, each SKREEM is programmed with a unique Secret Key
code. This code is stored in memory, sent over the CAN data bus to the PCM or ECM, and is
encoded to the transponder of every Sentry Key that is programmed into the SKREEM. Therefore,
the Secret Key code is a common element that is found in every component of the SKIS.
Another security code called a PIN, is used to gain access to the SKREEM Secured Access Mode.
The Secured Access Mode is required during service to perform the SKIS initialization and Sentry
Key transponder programming procedures. The SKREEM also stores the Vehicle Identification
Number
Dodge Ram 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (Truck V8-4.7L (2008))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Locks > Keyless Entry > Keyless Entry Module > Component Information >
Description and Operation > Remote Keyless Entry Module > Page 13681
(VIN) in its memory, which it learns through a CAN data bus message from the PCM or ECM
during SKIS initialization.
In the event that a SKREEM replacement is required, the Secret Key code can be transferred to
the new SKREEM from the PCM or ECM using a diagnostic scan tool and the SKIS initialization
procedure. Proper completion of the SKIS initialization will allow the existing Sentry Keys to be
programmed into the new SKREEM so that new keys will not be required. In the event that the
original Secret Key code cannot be recovered, SKREEM replacement will also require new Sentry
Keys. The diagnostic scan tool will alert the technician during the SKIS initialization procedure if
new Sentry Keys are required.
When the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, the SKREEM transmits an RF signal to excite
the transponder in the ignition key. The SKREEM then waits for an RF signal response from the
transponder. If the response received identifies the key as valid, the SKREEM sends an electronic
valid key message to the PCM/ECM over the CAN bus. If the response received identifies the key
as invalid or if no response is received from the key transponder, the SKREEM sends an invalid
key message to the PCM/ECM. The PCM/ECM will enable or disable engine operation based upon
the status of the SKREEM messages. It is important to note that the default condition in the PCM or
ECM is an invalid key ; therefore, if no message is received from the SKREEM by the PCM or
ECM, the engine will be disabled and the vehicle immobilized after two seconds of running.
The SKREEM also sends security indicator request messages to the EMIC over the CAN data bus
to tell the EMIC how to operate the security indicator. The security indicator request message from
the SKREEM tells the EMIC to turn the indicator ON for about three seconds each time the ignition
switch is turned to the ON position as a bulb test. After completion of the bulb test, the SKREEM
sends security indicator request messages to the EMIC to turn the indicator OFF, turn the indicator
ON, or to flash the indicator ON and OFF. If the security indicator flashes or stays ON solid after
the bulb test, it signifies a SKIS fault. If the SKREEM detects a system malfunction or the SKIS has
become ineffective, the security indicator will stay ON solid. If the SKREEM detects an invalid key
or if a key transponder-related fault exists, the security indicator will flash. If the vehicle is equipped
with the Customer Learn transponder programming feature, the SKREEM will also send messages
to the EMIC to flash the security indicator whenever the Customer Learn programming mode is
being utilized. .
The SKIS performs a self-test each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, and will
store fault information in the form of a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) in SKREEM memory if a
system malfunction is detected. The hard wired circuits of the SKREEM may be diagnosed using
conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the
SKREEM or the electronic controls or communication between other modules and devices that
provide some features of the SKIS. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose
the SKREEM or the electronic controls and communication related to SKREEM operation requires
the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Power Door Lock Switch: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
A window/lock switch is used on all models equipped with power locks, power windows, and power
mirrors. The window/lock switch houses the following switches:
- Power Lock Switch - A two-way, momentary, resistor multiplexed switch to control the power lock
system.
- Power Mirror Selector Switch - A three-position rocker switch selects the right or left power mirror
for adjustment, or turns the power mirror system Off.
- Power Mirror Adjustment Switches - Four momentary, arrowhead shaped, directional switches
allow the driver to adjust the selected power mirror in the Up, Down, Right, or Left directions.
- Power Window Lockout Switch - A two-way, latching, push-button switch allows the vehicle
operator to lock out the power window switches on each passenger door so that the passenger
door power windows may be operated only from the master switches.
- Power Window Switches - A two-way, momentary power window switch for the driver side front
door. This switch also has a second detent in the Down direction and internal circuitry to provide an
Auto-Down feature for the driver side front door power window. In addition to the power window
switch for its own door, there are individual master switches for each passenger door power
window.
The window/lock switch also incorporates several green Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs) that
illuminate the power lock and power window switch paddles, and the power mirror switch
directional buttons to improve switch visibility.

Power Door Lock Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The window/lock switch combines a power lock switch, a driver power window switch with an
Auto-down feature, master switches for each passenger door power window, a power window
lockout switch, a power mirror selector switch, and four power mirror adjustment switches in a
single unit.
Power Lock Switch
The power lock switch circuitry is connected in series between ground and the driver door switch
mux input of the instrument cluster. Each power lock switch position (Lock, Unlock, and Neutral)
provides a different resistance value to the instrument cluster input, which allows the instrument
cluster to sense the switch position. Based upon the power lock switch input, the instrument cluster
controls the battery and ground feed outputs to the individual power lock motors to lock or unlock
the door latches. The Light-Emitting Diode (LED) in the power lock switch is connected to battery
current through the power window circuit breaker in the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) on
a fused ignition switch output (run-acc) circuit. The switch will be illuminated whenever the ignition
switch is in the On or Accessory positions.
Power Window Switches
The power window switch circuitry is connected to battery current through a circuit breaker in the
Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) on a fused ignition switch output (run-acc) circuit so that
the power windows will operate whenever the ignition switch is in the On or Accessory positions.
Each two-way, momentary master passenger power window switch provides battery current and
ground to the individual power window switches on each passenger door so that the power window
switch controls the battery current and ground feeds to its respective power window motor. The
switch for the driver side front door power window is labeled "Auto" and includes an auto-down
feature. When this switch is depressed to a second momentary detent position and released, the
driver door power window is automatically operated through an internal circuit and relay to its fully
lowered position. The Auto-down event is cancelled if the switch paddle is depressed a second
time in either the Up or Down direction. When the two position window lockout switch is depressed
and latched in the lockout position, the battery current feed to each of the individual passenger
power window switches is interrupted so that the passenger door power windows can only be
operated from the master switches. The window lockout switch also controls the battery current
feed for the LED in each passenger power window switch so that the switch will not be illuminated
when it is locked out.
Power Mirror Switches
The power mirror switch circuitry is connected to battery current through a fuse in the TIPM on a
fused B(+) circuit so that the power mirrors remain operational regardless of the ignition switch
position. A rocker type selector switch has three positions, one to select the right mirror, one to
select the left mirror, and a neutral Off position. After the right or left mirror is selected, one of four
directional buttons is depressed to move the selected mirror Up, Down, Right or Left. The power
mirror switch circuitry controls the battery current and ground feeds to each of the four (two in each
mirror head) power mirror motors. The Light-Emitting Diode (LED) in the power mirror switch is
connected to battery current through the power window circuit breaker in the TIPM on a fused
ignition switch output (run-acc) circuit so that the switch directional buttons will be illuminated
whenever the ignition switch is in the On or Accessory positions.

Power Door Lock Switch: Testing and Inspection Power Lock Switch
POWER LOCK SWITCH
The Light-Emitting Diode (LED) illumination lamp of the power lock switch receives battery current
through a fuse in the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) on a fused ignition switch output
(run) circuit. The power lock switch on the driver side front door trim panel is integral to the
window/lock switch. See: Diagnosis and Testing If the power lock switch operates, but the LED is
inoperative, check for battery current at the switch with the ignition switch in the On position. If OK,
replace the faulty switch. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable. Remove the power lock switch from the door
trim panel. Disconnect the door wire harness
connector for the power lock switch from the switch connector receptacle.
2. Test the power lock switch resistance. See the Power Lock Switch Test chart to determine if the
resistance is correct for the switch in each switch
position. If not OK, replace the faulty power lock switch as required.

Power Door Lock Switch: Testing and Inspection Diagnosis and Testing
WINDOW/LOCK SWITCH
The Light-Emitting Diode (LED) illumination lamps for all of the Driver Door Module (DDM) power
window, power lock, and power mirror switches receive battery current through the power window
circuit breaker in the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM). If all of the LED's are inoperative in
the DDM, be certain to diagnose the power window system before replacing the switch unit. See:
Powertrain Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic
Trouble Code Tests and Associated Procedures . If only one LED in the DDM is inoperative,
replace the faulty DDM. If the driver side front door power window operates in a normal manner,
but the Auto-Down feature is inoperative, replace the faulty DDM. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information.
1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable. Remove the DDM from the door trim panel.
Disconnect the door wire harness connectors for the
DDM from the DDM connector receptacles.
2. Test the DDM switch continuity. See the Driver Door Module Switch Tests chart to determine if
the continuity is correct for the suspect switches
in each switch position. If not OK, replace the faulty DDM as required.

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
All switches, components, and modules are shown in the at rest position with the doors closed and
the key removed from the ignition.
Components are shown two ways. A solid line around a component indicates that the component is
complete. A dashed line around the component indicates that the component is being shown is not
complete. Incomplete components have a reference number to indicate the page where the
component is shown complete.
It is important to realize that no attempt is made on the diagrams to represent components and
wiring as they appear on the vehicle. For example, a short piece of wire is treated the same as a
long one. In addition, switches and other components are shown as simply as possible, with regard
to function only.

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Sensitive Devices
STANDARD PROCEDURE - ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) SENSITIVE DEVICES
All ESD sensitive components are solid state and a symbol is used to indicate this. When handling
any component with this symbol, comply with the following procedures to reduce the possibility of
electrostatic charge build up on the body and inadvertent discharge into the component. If it is not
known whether the part is ESD sensitive, assume that it is.
1. Always touch a known good ground before handling the part. This should be repeated while
handling the part and more frequently after sliding
across a seat, sitting down from a standing position, or walking a distance.
2. Avoid touching electrical terminals of the part, unless instructed to do so by a written procedure.
3. When using a voltmeter, be sure to connect the ground lead first. 4. Do not remove the part from
it's protective packing until it is time to install the part. 5. Before removing the part from it's
package, ground the package to a known good ground on the vehicle.
Testing Of Voltage Potential
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TESTING OF VOLTAGE POTENTIAL
1. Connect the ground lead of a voltmeter to a known good ground. 2. Connect the other lead of
the voltmeter to the selected test point. The vehicle ignition may need to be turned ON to check
voltage. Refer to the
appropriate test procedure.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - TESTING FOR CONTINUITY
1. Remove the fuse (1) for the circuit being checked or, disconnect the battery. 2. Connect one lead
of the ohmmeter to one side of the circuit being tested 3. Connect the other lead to the other end of
the circuit being tested. Low or no resistance means good continuity.
Testing For A Short To Ground
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TESTING FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
1. Remove the fuse and disconnect all items involved with the fuse. 2. Connect a test light or a
voltmeter across the terminals of the fuse. 3. Starting at the fuse block, wiggle the wiring harness
about six to eight inches apart and watch the voltmeter/test lamp. 4. If the voltmeter registers
voltage or the test lamp glows, there is a short to ground in that general area of the wiring harness.

Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- Ohmmeter - Used to check the resistance between two points of a circuit. Low or no resistance in
a circuit means good continuity.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking resistance in these circuits use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
In addition, make sure the power is disconnected from the circuit. Circuits that are powered up by
the vehicle's electrical system can cause damage to the equipment and provide false readings.
Dodge Ram 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (Truck V8-4.7L (2008))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Mirrors > Memory Positioning Systems > System Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 13780
- Probing Tools - These tools are used for probing terminals in connectors. Select the proper size
tool from Special Tool Package 6807, and insert the probing end (2) into the terminal being tested.
Use the other end of the tool (1) to insert the meter probe.
INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent electrical problems are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. It is also
possible for a sticking component or relay to cause a problem. Before condemning a component or
wiring assembly, check the following items.
- Connectors are fully seated
- Spread terminals, or terminal push out
- Terminals in the wiring assembly are fully seated into the connector/component and locked into
position
- Dirt or corrosion on the terminals. Any amount of corrosion or dirt could cause an intermittent
problem
- Damaged connector/component casing exposing the item to dirt or moisture
- Wire insulation that has rubbed through causing a short to ground
- Some or all of the wiring strands broken inside of the insulation
- Wiring broken inside of the insulation
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are six steps which can aid in the procedure. The
steps are listed and explained below. Always check for non-factory items added to the vehicle
before doing any diagnosis. If the vehicle is equipped with these items, disconnect them to verify
these add-on items are not the cause of the problem.
1. Verify the problem. 2. Verify any related symptoms. Do this by performing operational checks on
components that are in the same circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams. 3. Analyze the symptoms.
Use the wiring diagrams to determine what the circuit is doing, where the problem most likely is
occurring and where the
diagnosis will continue.
4. Isolate the problem area. 5. Repair the problem area. 6. Verify the proper operation. For this
step, check for proper operation of all items on the repaired circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams.

Paint: Description and Operation Basecoat/Clearcoat Finish - Description
DESCRIPTION
The original equipment paint finish is a multi step process that involves cleaning, applying electro
de-position (E-coat), anti-chip primer, basecoat, and clearcoat steps.
CAUTION: Do not use abrasive chemicals, abrasive compounds or harsh alkaline based cleaning
solvents on the painted surfaces of a vehicle. Failure to follow this caution can result in damage to
vehicle finish.
On most vehicles a two-part paint application (basecoat/clearcoat) is used. Color paint that is
applied to primer is called basecoat. A clear coat paint is then applied to protect the basecoat from
ultraviolet light and to provide a durable high-gloss finish.

Paint: Description and Operation Paint Touch-up - Description
DESCRIPTION
If the painted metal surface of a vehicle becomes scratched or chipped, it should be touched-up as
soon as possible to avoid corrosion.
WARNING: Use an OSHA approved respirator and safety glasses when spraying paint or solvents
in a confined area. Failure to follow this warning may result in possible personal injury or death.
When repairing painted metal surfaces, for best results, use MOPAR(R) Scratch Filler/Primer,
Touch-Up Paints and Clear Top Coat.

Paint: Service and Repair Paint Touch-Up
PAINT TOUCH-UP
1. Scrape any loose paint and corrosion from inside the scratch or chip.
WARNING: Avoid prolonged skin contact with petroleum or alcohol-based cleaning solvents.
Failure to follow this warning can result in possible personal injury or death.
2. Clean affected area with MOPAR(R) Tar/Road Oil Remover or equivalent, and allow to dry. 3.
Fill the inside of the scratch or chip with a coat of filler/primer. Do not overlap primer onto good
surface finish. The applicator brush should be
wet enough to puddle-fill the scratch or chip without running. Do not stroke brush applicator on
body surface. Allow the filler/primer to dry hard.
4. Cover the filler/primer with color touch-up paint. Do not overlap touch-up color onto the original
color coat around the scratch or chip. Butt the
new color to the original color, if possible. Do not stroke applicator brush on body surface. Allow
touch-up paint to dry hard.
5. On vehicles without clearcoat, the touch-up color can be lightly finesse sanded (1500 grit) and
polished with rubbing compound. 6. On vehicles with clearcoat, apply clear top coat to touch-up
paint with the same technique as described in STEP 4. Allow clear top coat to dry
hard. If desired, the clearcoat can be lightly finesse sanded (1500 grit) and polished with rubbing
compound.

Paint: Service and Repair Finesse Sanding, Buffing, And Polishing - Description
DESCRIPTION
CAUTION: Do not remove more than 0.5 mils of clearcoat finish when sanding, hand buffing or
polishing. Basecoat paint must retain clearcoat for durability.
CAUTION: If the finish has been finesse sanded in the past, it cannot be repeated. Failure to follow
this caution can result in damage to vehicle finish.
NOTE: Finesse sanding should only be performed by a trained automotive paint technician.
Minor acid etching, orange peel, or smudging in a clearcoat or single-stage finish can be reduced
with light finesse sanding, hand buffing and polishing. Use a Paint Thickness Gauge #PR-ETG-2X
or equivalent to determine clearcoat or single-stage paint thickness before and after the repair.

DESCRIPTION
When an RKE lock message is sent to the instrument cluster, the instrument cluster actuates the
door locks, the interior lighting is turned off, the horn chirps (if this feature is enabled), the park
lamps flash (if this feature is enabled) and, if the vehicle is so equipped, the Vehicle Theft Security
System (VTSS) is armed. When an RKE unlock message is sent to the instrument cluster, the
instrument cluster actuates the driver side front door (or all doors if this feature is enabled) unlock,
the interior lighting is turned on and, if the vehicle is so equipped, the VTSS is disarmed.
When an RKE panic message is sent to the instrument cluster, the instrument cluster actuates the
driver side front door (or all doors if this feature is enabled) unlock, the interior lighting is turned on
and, if the vehicle is so equipped, the VTSS is disarmed. The panic message will also cause the
exterior lamps (including the headlights) to flash, and the horn to sound for about three minutes, or
until a second panic message is sent to the instrument cluster. A vehicle speed of about 25.7
Km/h(15 mph) will also cancel the panic event.
Operation
OPERATION
Whenever the vehicle battery power is interrupted, the Remote Keyless Module (RKE) Module will
retain all vehicle access codes in its memory. When replacing or adding a key fob transmitter
(maximum of 4) a scan tool is required to program the RKE Module to accept the new Vehicle
Access Code if a customer owned transmitter is not available.
If a functioning transmitter is available, See: Locks/Keyless Entry/Keyless Entry Transmitter/Testing
and Inspection/Programming and Relearning

Keyless Entry Module: Description and Operation Sentry Key Remote Entry Module
Description
DESCRIPTION
The Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM) (1) is sometimes referred to as the Wireless
Control Module (WCM). The SKREEM is the primary component of the Sentry Key Immobilizer
System (SKIS). It is also the receiver for the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system. The SKREEM is
located on the right side of the steering column, near the ignition lock cylinder housing and is
concealed beneath the steering column shrouds. The molded black plastic housing for the
SKREEM has an integral molded plastic halo-like antenna ring (4) that extends from the bottom.
When the SKREEM is properly installed on the steering column, the antenna ring is oriented
around the circumference of the ignition lock cylinder housing.
A single integral connector receptacle (3) is located just behind the antenna ring on the bottom of
the SKREEM housing. An integral molded plastic mounting tab (2) on the rear corner of the
SKREEM housing has a hole in the center through which a screw passes to secure the unit to the
steering column. The SKREEM is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a single take
out and connector of the instrument panel wire harness.
Two SKREEM modules are used: one for vehicles equipped with RKE only, and one for vehicles
equipped with RKE and SKIS. The SKREEM cannot be adjusted or repaired. If ineffective or
damaged, the entire SKREEM unit must be replaced.
Operation
OPERATION
The Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM) (also known as the Wireless Control
Module/WCM) contains a Radio Frequency (RF) transceiver and a microprocessor. The SKREEM
transmits RF signals to, and receives RF signals from the Sentry Key transponder through a tuned
antenna enclosed within the molded plastic antenna ring integral to the SKREEM housing. If this
antenna ring is not mounted properly around the ignition lock cylinder housing, communication
problems between the SKREEM and the transponder may arise. These communication problems
will result in Sentry Key transponder-related faults.
The SKREEM also serves as the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) RF receiver. See: Locks/Power
Locks/Description and Operation/Description . The SKREEM communicates over the Controller
Area Network (CAN) data bus with the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known
as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN), the Powertrain Control Module (PCM)/Engine Control
Module (ECM) or the diagnostic scan tool.
The SKREEM and the PCM/ECM both use software that includes a rolling code algorithm strategy,
which helps to reduce the possibility of unauthorized Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS)
disarming. The rolling code algorithm ensures security by preventing an override of the SKIS
through the unauthorized substitution of the SKREEM or the PCM/ECM. However, the use of this
strategy also means that replacement of either the SKREEM or the PCM/ECM units will require a
system initialization procedure to restore system operation.
The SKREEM retains in memory the ID numbers of any Sentry Key transponder that is
programmed into it. A maximum of eight Sentry Key transponders can be programmed into the
SKREEM. For added system security, each SKREEM is programmed with a unique Secret Key
code. This code is stored in memory, sent over the CAN data bus to the PCM or ECM, and is
encoded to the transponder of every Sentry Key that is programmed into the SKREEM. Therefore,
the Secret Key code is a common element that is found in every component of the SKIS.
Another security code called a PIN, is used to gain access to the SKREEM Secured Access Mode.
The Secured Access Mode is required during service to perform the SKIS initialization and Sentry
Key transponder programming procedures. The SKREEM also stores the Vehicle Identification
Number
Dodge Ram 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (Truck V8-4.7L (2008))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Relays and Modules - Body and Frame > Keyless Entry Module >
Component Information > Description and Operation > Remote Keyless Entry Module > Page 13838
(VIN) in its memory, which it learns through a CAN data bus message from the PCM or ECM
during SKIS initialization.
In the event that a SKREEM replacement is required, the Secret Key code can be transferred to
the new SKREEM from the PCM or ECM using a diagnostic scan tool and the SKIS initialization
procedure. Proper completion of the SKIS initialization will allow the existing Sentry Keys to be
programmed into the new SKREEM so that new keys will not be required. In the event that the
original Secret Key code cannot be recovered, SKREEM replacement will also require new Sentry
Keys. The diagnostic scan tool will alert the technician during the SKIS initialization procedure if
new Sentry Keys are required.
When the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, the SKREEM transmits an RF signal to excite
the transponder in the ignition key. The SKREEM then waits for an RF signal response from the
transponder. If the response received identifies the key as valid, the SKREEM sends an electronic
valid key message to the PCM/ECM over the CAN bus. If the response received identifies the key
as invalid or if no response is received from the key transponder, the SKREEM sends an invalid
key message to the PCM/ECM. The PCM/ECM will enable or disable engine operation based upon
the status of the SKREEM messages. It is important to note that the default condition in the PCM or
ECM is an invalid key ; therefore, if no message is received from the SKREEM by the PCM or
ECM, the engine will be disabled and the vehicle immobilized after two seconds of running.
The SKREEM also sends security indicator request messages to the EMIC over the CAN data bus
to tell the EMIC how to operate the security indicator. The security indicator request message from
the SKREEM tells the EMIC to turn the indicator ON for about three seconds each time the ignition
switch is turned to the ON position as a bulb test. After completion of the bulb test, the SKREEM
sends security indicator request messages to the EMIC to turn the indicator OFF, turn the indicator
ON, or to flash the indicator ON and OFF. If the security indicator flashes or stays ON solid after
the bulb test, it signifies a SKIS fault. If the SKREEM detects a system malfunction or the SKIS has
become ineffective, the security indicator will stay ON solid. If the SKREEM detects an invalid key
or if a key transponder-related fault exists, the security indicator will flash. If the vehicle is equipped
with the Customer Learn transponder programming feature, the SKREEM will also send messages
to the EMIC to flash the security indicator whenever the Customer Learn programming mode is
being utilized. .
The SKIS performs a self-test each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, and will
store fault information in the form of a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) in SKREEM memory if a
system malfunction is detected. The hard wired circuits of the SKREEM may be diagnosed using
conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the
SKREEM or the electronic controls or communication between other modules and devices that
provide some features of the SKIS. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose
the SKREEM or the electronic controls and communication related to SKREEM operation requires
the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Sunroof / Moonroof Motor: Component Tests and General Diagnostics
MOTOR/MODULE - SUNROOF
Any diagnosis of the power sunroof system should begin with the use of a scan tool and the proper
Diagnostic Procedures Information. The scan tool can provide confirmation that the Controller Area
Network (CAN) Data Bus is functional, that all of the electronic modules are sending and receiving
the proper messages on the CAN Data Bus, and that the power sunroof motor is being sent the
proper hard wired output by the sunroof switch.
Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
NOTE: If there is no sunroof movement when the "OPEN" or "CLOSED" button are pushed but the
sunroof operates when the "VENT" button is pushed and held the sunroof motor/module is out of
calibration. Complete the sunroof position calibration procedure prior to performing any sunroof
diagnostics, See: Testing and Inspection/Programming and Relearning/Sunroof Position
Calibration.
The wire harness connectors for the sunroof motor/module are located above the vehicle headliner.
Removal of the headliner may be necessary for access to the connector and proper diagnosis of
the motor/module, See: Interior Moulding / Trim/Headliner/Service and Repair/Headliner - Removal
. For complete circuit diagrams, refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wiring information
includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector repair procedures, details of wire harness
routing and retention, connector pin-out information and location views for the various wire harness
connectors, splices and grounds.
1. Verify that all other power accessories are in proper operating condition. If not, a common
electrical problem may exist. 2. Disconnect the sunroof motor/module connector directly at the
motor/module (not at the headliner in-line connector). Connect a test light between
the harness connector pin 6 and a known good B+ circuit. The test light should illuminate brightly. If
OK, go to STEP 3. If not OK repair the ground circuit as necessary.
3. Connect a test light between the harness connector pin 8 and a known good ground. The test
light should illuminate brightly. If OK, go to STEP 4.
If not OK repair the B+ circuit as necessary.
4. Using an ohmmeter check the sunroof switch feed circuit for continuity between the sunroof
motor/module and sunroof switch. Continuity should
be present. If OK replace the inoperative motor/module, See: Service and Repair/Removal and
Replacement/Sunroof Motor With Control Unit - Removal . If not OK repair the sunroof switch feed
circuit as necessary.

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
All switches, components, and modules are shown in the at rest position with the doors closed and
the key removed from the ignition.
Components are shown two ways. A solid line around a component indicates that the component is
complete. A dashed line around the component indicates that the component is being shown is not
complete. Incomplete components have a reference number to indicate the page where the
component is shown complete.
It is important to realize that no attempt is made on the diagrams to represent components and
wiring as they appear on the vehicle. For example, a short piece of wire is treated the same as a
long one. In addition, switches and other components are shown as simply as possible, with regard
to function only.

Connector, Ground and Splice Information
DESCRIPTION - CONNECTOR, GROUND AND SPLICE INFORMATION
CAUTION: Not all connectors are serviced. Some connectors are serviced only with a harness. A
typical example might be the Supplemental Restraint System connectors. Always check parts
availability before attempting a repair.
IDENTIFICATION
In-line connectors are identified by a number, as follows:
- In-line connectors located in the engine compartment are C100 series numbers.
- In-line connectors located in the instrument panel area are C200 series numbers.
- In-line connectors located in the body are C300 series numbers.
- Jumper harness connectors are C400 series numbers.
- Grounds and ground connectors are identified with a "G" and follow the same series numbering
as the in-line connectors.
- Splices are identified with an "S" and follow the same series numbering as the in-line connectors.
In addition, S001-S099 numbers are located in the engine compartment.
- Component connectors are identified by the component name instead of a number. Multiple
connectors on a component use a C1, C2, etc. identifier.
LOCATIONS
Vehicle/Locations contains the master connector/ground/splice location index charts with
hyperlinks to the applicable location illustrations. The illustrations contain the connector name (or
number)/ground number/splice number and component identification.
The abbreviation T/O is used in the component location section to indicate a point in which the
wiring harness branches out to a component. The abbreviation N/S means Not Shown in the
illustrations

Memory Positioning Systems: Diagnostic Aids
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Sensitive Devices
STANDARD PROCEDURE - ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) SENSITIVE DEVICES
All ESD sensitive components are solid state and a symbol is used to indicate this. When handling
any component with this symbol, comply with the following procedures to reduce the possibility of
electrostatic charge build up on the body and inadvertent discharge into the component. If it is not
known whether the part is ESD sensitive, assume that it is.
1. Always touch a known good ground before handling the part. This should be repeated while
handling the part and more frequently after sliding
across a seat, sitting down from a standing position, or walking a distance.
2. Avoid touching electrical terminals of the part, unless instructed to do so by a written procedure.
3. When using a voltmeter, be sure to connect the ground lead first. 4. Do not remove the part from
it's protective packing until it is time to install the part. 5. Before removing the part from it's
package, ground the package to a known good ground on the vehicle.
Testing Of Voltage Potential
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TESTING OF VOLTAGE POTENTIAL
1. Connect the ground lead of a voltmeter to a known good ground. 2. Connect the other lead of
the voltmeter to the selected test point. The vehicle ignition may need to be turned ON to check
voltage. Refer to the
appropriate test procedure.

Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- Ohmmeter - Used to check the resistance between two points of a circuit. Low or no resistance in
a circuit means good continuity.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking resistance in these circuits use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
In addition, make sure the power is disconnected from the circuit. Circuits that are powered up by
the vehicle's electrical system can cause damage to the equipment and provide false readings.
Dodge Ram 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (Truck V8-4.7L (2008))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Seats > Memory Positioning Systems > System Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 13982
- Probing Tools - These tools are used for probing terminals in connectors. Select the proper size
tool from Special Tool Package 6807, and insert the probing end (2) into the terminal being tested.
Use the other end of the tool (1) to insert the meter probe.
INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent electrical problems are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. It is also
possible for a sticking component or relay to cause a problem. Before condemning a component or
wiring assembly, check the following items.
- Connectors are fully seated
- Spread terminals, or terminal push out
- Terminals in the wiring assembly are fully seated into the connector/component and locked into
position
- Dirt or corrosion on the terminals. Any amount of corrosion or dirt could cause an intermittent
problem
- Damaged connector/component casing exposing the item to dirt or moisture
- Wire insulation that has rubbed through causing a short to ground
- Some or all of the wiring strands broken inside of the insulation
- Wiring broken inside of the insulation
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are six steps which can aid in the procedure. The
steps are listed and explained below. Always check for non-factory items added to the vehicle
before doing any diagnosis. If the vehicle is equipped with these items, disconnect them to verify
these add-on items are not the cause of the problem.
1. Verify the problem. 2. Verify any related symptoms. Do this by performing operational checks on
components that are in the same circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams. 3. Analyze the symptoms.
Use the wiring diagrams to determine what the circuit is doing, where the problem most likely is
occurring and where the
diagnosis will continue.
4. Isolate the problem area. 5. Repair the problem area. 6. Verify the proper operation. For this
step, check for proper operation of all items on the repaired circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams.

Power Seat Switch: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The power seats on this vehicle can be adjusted in eight different directions, up, down, front up,
front down, rear up, rear down, rearward and forward. The power seat switch is located on the
outboard side of the seat cushion on the seat cushion side shield.
The individual switches in the power seat switch assembly cannot be repaired. If one switch is
damaged or inoperative, the entire power seat switch assembly must be replaced.

Power Seat Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
When a power switch control knob or knobs are actuated, a battery feed and a ground path are
applied through the switch contacts to the power seat track adjuster motor. The selected adjuster
motor operates to move the seat track or recliner through its drive unit in the selected direction until
the switch is released, or until the travel limit of the adjuster 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 adjuster 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 continue, or the motor may be damaged.

DESCRIPTION
WARNING: The front passenger seat assembly contains critical components that affect the front
passenger airbag deployment. Correctly functioning front passenger seat components are critical
for the Occupant Classification System (OCS) to properly classify the front passenger and calculate
the proper airbag deployment. Unapproved modifications or service procedures to the front
passenger seat assembly, its related components, or trim cover may inadvertently change the
airbag deployment in case of a frontal crash. This could result in death or serious injury to the front
seat passenger if the vehicle is involved in an accident. The following requirements must be strictly
adhered to:
- Do not modify the front passenger seat assembly or components in any way.
- Do not modify the front seat center console or center position seat in any way.
- Do not use prior or future model year seat trim covers not designated for the specific model being
repaired. Always use the correct seat trim cover specified for the vehicle.
- Do not replace the seat trim cover with an aftermarket trim cover.
- Do not add a secondary trim cover other than those approved by DaimlerChrysler/Mopar.
- At no time should any Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) component or SRS related
component or fastener be modified or replaced with any part except those which are approved by
DaimlerChrysler/Mopar.
Vehicles with the heated seat option can be visually identified by the two heated seat switches
located in the center stack of the instrument panel. The heated seat system allows the driver and
front seat passenger to select from two different levels of electrical seat heating (HI/LO). The
heated seat system for this vehicle includes the following major components:
Heated Seat Switch/Module - Two heated seat switch/modules are used per vehicle, including two
Light-Emitting Diode (LED) indicator lamps for heat level indication. One switch/module for the
driver and one for the passenger front seats. The switch/modules contain the solid state electronic
control and diagnostic logic circuitry for the heated seat system. The switch/modules are mounted
in the front center floor console.
- Heated Seat Elements - Four heated seat elements are used per vehicle, one for each front seat
back and one for each front seat cushion. The elements are integral to the individual front seat and
seat back cushions and cannot be removed from the cushions, once installed at the factory.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Seats > Seat Heater > Component Information > Description and Operation
> Heated Seats - Description > Page 14089
Seat Heater: Description and Operation Heated Seats - Operation
OPERATION
The heated seat system operates on battery current received through a fuse in the Totally
Integrated Power Module (TIPM). Fused ignition switch output (run) circuits are used, so that the
heated seat system will only operate when the ignition switch is in the On position. The heated seat
system will turn Off automatically whenever the ignition switch is turned to any position except On.
A Heated Seat Switch/Module is used to control the heated seat system. The switch/module
responds to heated seat switch/module button input and ignition switch status inputs by controlling
the 12v output to the front seat heating elements through integral solid-state relays.
When either of the heated seat switch/module buttons are depressed the heating element for the
selected seat is energized. Amber Light Emitting Diodes (LEDS) on the side of each switch/module
indicate the level of heat in use: Two LEDs are illuminated for high, one for low, and none for off.
Pressing the switch/module button once will select high-level heating. Pressing the button a second
time will select low-level heating. Pressing the button a third time will shut the heating elements off.
The heated seat switch/module energizes an integral solid-state relay, which supplies battery
current to the heating elements. When high-temperature heating is selected, the heaters provide a
boosted heat level during the first four minutes of operation after heating is activated. The heat
output then drops to the normal high-temperature level. If high-level heating is selected, the control
system will automatically switch to the low level after two hours of continuous operation. At that
time, the number of illuminated LEDs changes from two to one, indicating the change. Operation
on the low setting will continue indefinitely until the switch/module button is pushed to turn the
system off.
The system will automatically turn off the heating elements if it detects an OPEN or LOW short in
the heating element circuit.

Seat Heater: Description and Operation Heated Seat Element - Description
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with the optional heated seat system have two, carbon fiber heated seat
elements, located in each front seat. One heating element is used for each seat cushion and
another for each seat back.
Each of the heated seat element consists of multiple heating circuits operating in parallel
throughout the carbon fiber element. The heated seat elements are captured between the leather
trim cover and the seat cushion assembly. If a malfunction occurs in one or more of the individual
carbon fiber circuits, the others will continue to provide heat.
The heated seat elements cannot be repaired. If found to be damaged or inoperative, a new
heating element assembly must be installed.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Seats > Seat Heater > Component Information > Description and Operation
> Heated Seats - Description > Page 14091
Seat Heater: Description and Operation Heated Seat Element - Operation
OPERATION
One end of the heated seat element is connected to ground at all times through a splice under the
seat. Battery current is directed to the other end of the heated seat element by the heated seat
switch/module. The heated seat switch/module will energize the heated seat element when the
heated seat switch/module button is depressed in the Low or High position.
As electrical current passes through the heated seat element, the resistance of the wire used in the
element disperses some of the electrical current in the form of heat. The heat produced by the
heated seat element then radiates through the underside of the seat cushion and seat back trim
covers, warming the seat cover and its occupant.

Seat Heater: Testing and Inspection Heated Seat System
HEATED SEAT SYSTEM
There are two methods of diagnosing the heated seat system. The "HEATED SEAT SYSTEM
SELF-DIAGNOSIS" is to be performed when the system is inoperative and one or more of the
heated seat switch/module Light Emitting Diode (LED) indicator lamps are flashing. The "HEATED
SEAT SYSTEM BASE DIAGNOSIS" is to be performed when the system is inoperative and no
LEDs are flashing or lighting when the switch/module buttons are pressed. HEATED SEAT
SYSTEM SELF-DIAGNOSIS
NOTE: Before testing the individual components in the heated seat system, check the vehicles
battery open-circuit voltage and charging system performance. If the vehicles electrical system is
defective or weak it may not be suppling sufficient energy to operate the heated seat system.
The heated seat system is capable of performing some self-diagnostics. The following table depicts
the various monitored failures which will be reported to the vehicle operator or technician by
flashing the individual heated seat switch/module Light Emitting Diode (LED) indicator lamps. Refer
to the Heated Seat System Self-Diagnosis table for failure identification. The driver side heated
seat switch/module indicator lamps will flash if a failure occurs in the driver side heated seat, and
the passenger side heated seat switch/module indicator lamps will flash for a passenger side
heated seat failure. If a monitored heated seat system failure occurs, the switch/module indicator
lamps will flash at a pulse rate of about one-half second on, followed by about one-half second off
for a duration of about one minute after the switch/module for the faulty heated seat is depressed in
either the Low or High direction. This process will repeat every time the faulty heated seat
switch/module is actuated until the problem has been corrected.
Before testing the individual components in the heated seat system, check the vehicles battery
open-circuit voltage and charging system performance. If the vehicles electrical system is defective
or weak it may not be suppling sufficient energy to operate the heated seat system.
For complete circuit diagrams, refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wiring information
includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector repair procedures, details of wire harness
routing and retention, connector pin-out information and location views for the various wire harness
connectors, splices and grounds.
Diagnostic logic is built into the heated seat switch/module to help locate the problem by the most
efficient means possible. Anytime a problem is suspected, locate the diagnosis and testing
procedure for the component in question and follow the steps until the specific problem is located
and resolved. Once the problem is thought to be corrected, verify correct system operation. If the
heated seat system is functioning correctly return the vehicle to service.
If a problem could not be verified such as not finding anything wrong when following the diagnostic
procedure, this is a good indication that a INTERMITTENT problem may be present. You must then
attempt to find the intermittent problem, such as moving the heating element within the seat while
testing continuity or wiggling the wire harness's/electrical connectors under the seat while testing
continuity. Always, eliminate all other potential problems before attempting to replace the heated
seat switch/module.
HEATED SEAT SYSTEM BASE DIAGNOSIS
NOTE: Before testing the individual components in the heated seat system, check the vehicles
battery open-circuit voltage and charging system performance. If the vehicles electrical system is
defective or weak it may not be suppling sufficient energy to operate the heated seat system.
For complete circuit diagrams, refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wiring information
includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector repair procedures, details of wire harness
routing and retention, connector pin-out information and location views for the various wire harness
connectors, splices and grounds.
PRELIMINARY TEST
- If a single LED indicator lamp for one heated seat switch/module does not operate and the heated
seat elements heat, replace the switch with the inoperative indicator lamp See: Seat Heater
Switch/Service and Repair/Heated Seat Switch - Removal .
- If both LED indicator lamps for a heated seat switch/module operate, but the heated seat
elements do not heat, See: Heated Seat Element - Diagnosis and Testing to check the suspect
heated seat elements. If the elements test OK, proceed to STEP 1.
- If both seats (driver and passenger) fail to heat and the indicator lamps on the heated seat
switch/modules for both seats fail to operate, test the heated seat fuses in the Integrated Power
Module (IPM). If the heated seat fuses check OK, go to STEP 1.

HEATED SEAT ELEMENT
Refer to the appropriate wiring information for complete circuit schematic or connector pin-out
information.
The wire harness connectors (2&3) for the heating elements are located under the seat (1).
NOTE: When checking heated seat elements for continuity, be certain to move the heating element
being checked. Moving the element, such as sitting in the seat will eliminate the possibility of an
intermittent open in the element which would only be evident if the element was in a certain
position. Failure to check the element in various positions could result in an incomplete test.
1. Locate and disconnect the seat electrical connector. 2. Check the resistance between the circuit
leading in and out of the suspect heated seat element. The resistance should be between 3.8 - 4.8
ohms for
a seat cushion element and 4.3 - 5.4 ohms for a seat back element. If OK, See: Powertrain
Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code
Tests and Associated Procedures . If not OK, replace the inoperative heated seat element.

Seat Heater Switch: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
Momentary contact push button switch/modules mounted in the instrument panel center bezel
operate the heated seat system. Each heated seat switch/module has two Light-Emitting Diode
(LED) indicator lamps, which indicate the selected level (Low or High) of the seat heater. Pressing
the switch/module button initiates heat. Heat remains on until switched off or until the ignition is
turned off. If switched off by the ignition, a switch/module button must be pressed to restart heating.
The switch/modules contain the solid state electronic control and diagnostic logic circuitry for the
heated seat system. If any of the heated seat elements are inoperative or damaged one or more of
the LED lamps in the switch/module for the effected seat will flash.
The LED indicator lamps in each heated seat switch/module cannot be repaired. If the LED lamps
are faulty or damaged, or the switch/module is inoperative or damaged the individual heated seat
switch/module assembly must be replaced. See: Service and Repair/Heated Seat Switch Removal for the switch/module replacement procedure.

Seat Heater Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
A Heated Seat Switch/Module is used to control the heated seat system. The heated seat
switch/modules receive battery current through a fused ignition switch output (run) circuit when the
ignition switch is in the On position. The switch/module responds to heated seat switch/module
button input and ignition switch status inputs by controlling the 12v output to the front seat heating
elements through integral solid-state relays.
When either of the heated seat switch/module buttons are depressed the heating element for the
selected seat is energized. Amber Light Emitting Diodes (LEDS) on the side of each switch/module
indicate the level of heat in use: Two LEDs are illuminated for high, one for low, and none for off.
Pressing the switch/module button once will select high-level heating. Pressing the button a second
time will select low-level heating. Pressing the button a third time will shut the heating elements off.
The heated seat switch/module energizes an integral solid-state relay, which supplies battery
current to the heating elements. When high-temperature heating is selected, the heaters provide a
boosted heat level during the first four minutes of operation after heating is activated. The heat
output then drops to the normal high-temperature level. If high-level heating is selected, the control
system will automatically switch to the low level after two hours of continuous operation. At that
time, the number of illuminated LEDs changes from two to one, indicating the change. Operation
on the low setting will continue indefinitely until the switch/module button is pushed to turn the
system off.

Seat Track: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The power seat track unit includes three reversible electric motors that are secured to the upper
half of the track unit. Each motor moves the seat adjuster through a combination of worm-drive
gearboxes and screw-type drive units.
The front and rear of the seat are operated by two separate vertical adjustment motors. These
motors can be operated independently of each other, tilting the entire seat assembly forward or
rearward; or, they can be operated in unison by selecting the proper power seat switch functions,
which will raise or lower the entire seat assembly. The third motor is the horizontal adjustment
motor, which moves the seat track in the forward and rearward directions.

POWER SEAT TRACK
For complete circuit diagrams, refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wiring information
includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector repair procedures, details of wire harness
routing and retention, connector pin-out information and location views for the various wire harness
connectors, splices and grounds.
Operate the power seat switch to move all three seat motors in each direction. The seat should
move in each of the selected directions. If the power seat track fails to operate in only one
direction, move the seat track a short distance in the opposite direction and test again to be certain
that the track is not at its travel limit. If the power seat track still fails to operate in only one
direction, See: Power Seat Switch/Testing and Inspection for power seat switch diagnosis. If the
power seat track fails to operate in more than one direction, proceed as follows:
1. Check the power seat fuse in the integrated power module. If OK, go to STEP 2. If not OK, repair
the circuit as necessary and replace the
inoperative fuse.
2. Remove the power seat switch from the seat. Check for battery voltage at the fused B(+) circuit
cavity of the power seat switch wire harness
connector. If OK, go to STEP 3. If not OK, repair the open circuit to the integrated power module as
required.
3. Check for continuity between the ground circuit cavity of the power seat switch wire harness
connector and a good ground. There should be
continuity. If OK, go to STEP 4. If not OK, repair the open circuit to ground as required.
4. Test the power seat switch, See: Power Seat Switch/Testing and Inspection . If the switch tests
OK, check the wire harness between the power seat
switch and the motor for shorts or opens. If the circuits check OK, replace the inoperative power
seat track (adjuster) assembly. If the circuits are not OK, repair the wire harness as required.

Hood Sensor/Switch (For Alarm): Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The hood ajar switch is a normally closed, single pole, spring-loaded plunger actuated switch. This
switch has two unique versions that are used in two different applications. One switch is used only
on vehicles equipped with the Vehicle Theft Alarm (VTA) system for sale in certain export markets
where protection of the underhood area is required equipment. The second switch is used only on
domestic vehicles equipped with an optional remote starter system.
The molded plastic switch body (5) has an integral molded connector receptacle (1) on the lower
end containing two terminal pins. The switch is connected to the vehicle electrical system through a
dedicated take out of the headlamp and dash wire harness. Two integral latches (2) lock the switch
into a keyed mounting hole in the stamped steel switch mounting bracket. The mounting bracket is
secured with screws to the inboard side of the right front fender load beam within the engine
compartment. A molded plastic striker secured to the underside of the hood panel inner
reinforcement actuates the switch plunger as the hood panel is closed.
The switch plunger (3) extends through a mounting collar (4) and a sleeve-like retainer ring on the
upper end of the switch body. The retainer ring has a one time, self-adjustment feature that is
activated after the switch is installed by closing the hood. The retainer ring is also color-coded to
aid in identifying the switch application. A dark brown retainer ring identifies the underhood security
switch application, while a white retainer ring identifies the remote starter system application.
An installed hood ajar switch cannot be readjusted or repaired. If the switch is damaged,
ineffective, or requires readjustment, it must be replaced with a new unit. The hood ajar switch
striker is not intended for reuse. If the striker is removed from the hood inner reinforcement for any
reason, it must be replaced with a new unit.

Hood Sensor/Switch (For Alarm): Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The hood ajar switches are interchangeable physically, but not functionally. In each case, the hood
ajar switch is a normally closed switch that is held open as the spring-loaded switch plunger is
depressed by the striker on the inner hood panel reinforcement 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.
In the underhood security application (export vehicles only - dark brown retainer ring), the switch is
connected in series between ground and the hood ajar switch sense input of the Totally Integrated
Power Module (TIPM). The TIPM uses an internal resistor pull up to monitor the state of the hood
ajar switch contacts.
In the remote starter system application (domestic vehicles only - white retainer ring) the switch has
a 1 kilohm diagnostic resistor connected in parallel to the switch contacts between the two switch
terminals. The switch is connected in series between an output of the TIPM and the hood ajar
switch sense input of the TIPM. The TIPM continually monitors this circuit and will store a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for any fault that it detects.
The components of the switch self-adjustment feature include an integral stop on the shaft of the
plunger and a ribbed, ratcheting sleeve-like retainer ring at the top of the switch body from which
the plunger extends. With the switch mounting collar secured in its mounting bracket, the plunger is
depressed by the striker on the hood inner reinforcement as the hood is closed. As the plunger is
depressed, the plunger stop contacts the top of the retainer ring and it is driven downward,
ratcheting through the switch mounting collar until the hood is fully closed and latched. The ribs on
the retainer ring are engaged within the mounting collar to maintain this adjusted position.
The hood ajar switch as well as the hard wired circuits between the switch and the TIPM may be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information. However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of
the electronic controls or communication between modules and other devices related to hood ajar
switch operation that provide some features of the export vehicle theft or domestic remote starter
systems. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the electronic controls and
communication related to hood ajar switch operation requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool.
Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Power Door Lock Switch: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
A window/lock switch is used on all models equipped with power locks, power windows, and power
mirrors. The window/lock switch houses the following switches:
- Power Lock Switch - A two-way, momentary, resistor multiplexed switch to control the power lock
system.
- Power Mirror Selector Switch - A three-position rocker switch selects the right or left power mirror
for adjustment, or turns the power mirror system Off.
- Power Mirror Adjustment Switches - Four momentary, arrowhead shaped, directional switches
allow the driver to adjust the selected power mirror in the Up, Down, Right, or Left directions.
- Power Window Lockout Switch - A two-way, latching, push-button switch allows the vehicle
operator to lock out the power window switches on each passenger door so that the passenger
door power windows may be operated only from the master switches.
- Power Window Switches - A two-way, momentary power window switch for the driver side front
door. This switch also has a second detent in the Down direction and internal circuitry to provide an
Auto-Down feature for the driver side front door power window. In addition to the power window
switch for its own door, there are individual master switches for each passenger door power
window.
The window/lock switch also incorporates several green Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs) that
illuminate the power lock and power window switch paddles, and the power mirror switch
directional buttons to improve switch visibility.

Power Door Lock Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The window/lock switch combines a power lock switch, a driver power window switch with an
Auto-down feature, master switches for each passenger door power window, a power window
lockout switch, a power mirror selector switch, and four power mirror adjustment switches in a
single unit.
Power Lock Switch
The power lock switch circuitry is connected in series between ground and the driver door switch
mux input of the instrument cluster. Each power lock switch position (Lock, Unlock, and Neutral)
provides a different resistance value to the instrument cluster input, which allows the instrument
cluster to sense the switch position. Based upon the power lock switch input, the instrument cluster
controls the battery and ground feed outputs to the individual power lock motors to lock or unlock
the door latches. The Light-Emitting Diode (LED) in the power lock switch is connected to battery
current through the power window circuit breaker in the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) on
a fused ignition switch output (run-acc) circuit. The switch will be illuminated whenever the ignition
switch is in the On or Accessory positions.
Power Window Switches
The power window switch circuitry is connected to battery current through a circuit breaker in the
Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) on a fused ignition switch output (run-acc) circuit so that
the power windows will operate whenever the ignition switch is in the On or Accessory positions.
Each two-way, momentary master passenger power window switch provides battery current and
ground to the individual power window switches on each passenger door so that the power window
switch controls the battery current and ground feeds to its respective power window motor. The
switch for the driver side front door power window is labeled "Auto" and includes an auto-down
feature. When this switch is depressed to a second momentary detent position and released, the
driver door power window is automatically operated through an internal circuit and relay to its fully
lowered position. The Auto-down event is cancelled if the switch paddle is depressed a second
time in either the Up or Down direction. When the two position window lockout switch is depressed
and latched in the lockout position, the battery current feed to each of the individual passenger
power window switches is interrupted so that the passenger door power windows can only be
operated from the master switches. The window lockout switch also controls the battery current
feed for the LED in each passenger power window switch so that the switch will not be illuminated
when it is locked out.
Power Mirror Switches
The power mirror switch circuitry is connected to battery current through a fuse in the TIPM on a
fused B(+) circuit so that the power mirrors remain operational regardless of the ignition switch
position. A rocker type selector switch has three positions, one to select the right mirror, one to
select the left mirror, and a neutral Off position. After the right or left mirror is selected, one of four
directional buttons is depressed to move the selected mirror Up, Down, Right or Left. The power
mirror switch circuitry controls the battery current and ground feeds to each of the four (two in each
mirror head) power mirror motors. The Light-Emitting Diode (LED) in the power mirror switch is
connected to battery current through the power window circuit breaker in the TIPM on a fused
ignition switch output (run-acc) circuit so that the switch directional buttons will be illuminated
whenever the ignition switch is in the On or Accessory positions.

POWER LOCK SWITCH
The Light-Emitting Diode (LED) illumination lamp of the power lock switch receives battery current
through a fuse in the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) on a fused ignition switch output
(run) circuit. The power lock switch on the driver side front door trim panel is integral to the
window/lock switch. See: Diagnosis and Testing If the power lock switch operates, but the LED is
inoperative, check for battery current at the switch with the ignition switch in the On position. If OK,
replace the faulty switch. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable. Remove the power lock switch from the door
trim panel. Disconnect the door wire harness
connector for the power lock switch from the switch connector receptacle.
2. Test the power lock switch resistance. See the Power Lock Switch Test chart to determine if the
resistance is correct for the switch in each switch
position. If not OK, replace the faulty power lock switch as required.

Power Door Lock Switch: Testing and Inspection Diagnosis and Testing
WINDOW/LOCK SWITCH
The Light-Emitting Diode (LED) illumination lamps for all of the Driver Door Module (DDM) power
window, power lock, and power mirror switches receive battery current through the power window
circuit breaker in the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM). If all of the LED's are inoperative in
the DDM, be certain to diagnose the power window system before replacing the switch unit. See:
Powertrain Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic
Trouble Code Tests and Associated Procedures . If only one LED in the DDM is inoperative,
replace the faulty DDM. If the driver side front door power window operates in a normal manner,
but the Auto-Down feature is inoperative, replace the faulty DDM. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information.
1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable. Remove the DDM from the door trim panel.
Disconnect the door wire harness connectors for the
DDM from the DDM connector receptacles.
2. Test the DDM switch continuity. See the Driver Door Module Switch Tests chart to determine if
the continuity is correct for the suspect switches
in each switch position. If not OK, replace the faulty DDM as required.

Power Seat Switch: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The power seats on this vehicle can be adjusted in eight different directions, up, down, front up,
front down, rear up, rear down, rearward and forward. The power seat switch is located on the
outboard side of the seat cushion on the seat cushion side shield.
The individual switches in the power seat switch assembly cannot be repaired. If one switch is
damaged or inoperative, the entire power seat switch assembly must be replaced.

Power Seat Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
When a power switch control knob or knobs are actuated, a battery feed and a ground path are
applied through the switch contacts to the power seat track adjuster motor. The selected adjuster
motor operates to move the seat track or recliner through its drive unit in the selected direction until
the switch is released, or until the travel limit of the adjuster 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 adjuster 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 continue, or the motor may be damaged.

Seat Heater Switch: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
Momentary contact push button switch/modules mounted in the instrument panel center bezel
operate the heated seat system. Each heated seat switch/module has two Light-Emitting Diode
(LED) indicator lamps, which indicate the selected level (Low or High) of the seat heater. Pressing
the switch/module button initiates heat. Heat remains on until switched off or until the ignition is
turned off. If switched off by the ignition, a switch/module button must be pressed to restart heating.
The switch/modules contain the solid state electronic control and diagnostic logic circuitry for the
heated seat system. If any of the heated seat elements are inoperative or damaged one or more of
the LED lamps in the switch/module for the effected seat will flash.
The LED indicator lamps in each heated seat switch/module cannot be repaired. If the LED lamps
are faulty or damaged, or the switch/module is inoperative or damaged the individual heated seat
switch/module assembly must be replaced. See: Service and Repair/Heated Seat Switch Removal for the switch/module replacement procedure.

Seat Heater Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
A Heated Seat Switch/Module is used to control the heated seat system. The heated seat
switch/modules receive battery current through a fused ignition switch output (run) circuit when the
ignition switch is in the On position. The switch/module responds to heated seat switch/module
button input and ignition switch status inputs by controlling the 12v output to the front seat heating
elements through integral solid-state relays.
When either of the heated seat switch/module buttons are depressed the heating element for the
selected seat is energized. Amber Light Emitting Diodes (LEDS) on the side of each switch/module
indicate the level of heat in use: Two LEDs are illuminated for high, one for low, and none for off.
Pressing the switch/module button once will select high-level heating. Pressing the button a second
time will select low-level heating. Pressing the button a third time will shut the heating elements off.
The heated seat switch/module energizes an integral solid-state relay, which supplies battery
current to the heating elements. When high-temperature heating is selected, the heaters provide a
boosted heat level during the first four minutes of operation after heating is activated. The heat
output then drops to the normal high-temperature level. If high-level heating is selected, the control
system will automatically switch to the low level after two hours of continuous operation. At that
time, the number of illuminated LEDs changes from two to one, indicating the change. Operation
on the low setting will continue indefinitely until the switch/module button is pushed to turn the
system off.

ABS Light: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
An Antilock Brake System (ABS) indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters.
However, the instrument cluster can be programmed to disable this indicator on vehicles that are
not equipped with the ABS or Rear Wheel Anti-Lock (RWAL) brake systems, which are not
available in some markets. This indicator is located near the lower edge of the instrument cluster,
between the tachometer and the speedometer.
The ABS indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the International Control and Display Symbol
icon for Failure of Anti-lock Braking System in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster overlay.
The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not
illuminated. An amber Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the
overlay causes the indicator to appear in amber through the translucent outer layer of the overlay
when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the instrument cluster
electronic circuit board.
The ABS indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

ABS Light: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The ABS indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the ABS system, or a circuit or
component of the system is ineffective. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument
cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received by the
cluster from the Controller Antilock Brake (CAB) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The ABS indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument cluster
logic circuit, and that logic will only allow this indicator to operate when the instrument cluster
receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the
LED will always be OFF when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED
only illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The
instrument cluster will turn ON the ABS indicator for the following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position the ABS indicator is
illuminated for about four seconds as a bulb test. The entire bulb test is a function of the CAB.
- ABS Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic ABS indicator
lamp-ON message from the CAB, the ABS indicator will be illuminated. The indicator remains
illuminated until the cluster receives a lamp-OFF message from the CAB, or until the ignition switch
is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
Communication Error - If the cluster receives no lamp-ON or lamp-OFF messages from the CAB
for five consecutive message cycles, the ABS indicator is illuminated. The indicator remains
illuminated until the cluster receives a valid message from the CAB, or until the ignition switch is
turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Actuator Test - Each time the instrument cluster is put through the actuator test, the ABS indicator
will be turned ON, then OFF again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the
functionality of the LED and the cluster control circuitry.
- ABS Diagnostic Test - The ABS indicator is blinked ON and OFF by lamp-ON and lamp-OFF
messages from the CAB during the performance of the ABS diagnostic tests.
The CAB continually monitors the ABS circuits and sensors to decide whether the system is in
good operating condition. The CAB then sends the proper lamp-ON or lamp-OFF message to the
ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN). If
the CAB sends a lamp-ON message after the bulb test, it indicates that the CAB has detected a
system malfunction or that the ABS system has become ineffective. The CAB will store a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for any malfunction it detects. Each time the ABS indicator fails to
light due to an open or short in the cluster ABS indicator circuit, the cluster sends a message
notifying the CAB of the condition, then the instrument cluster and the CAB will each store a DTC.
For proper diagnosis of the antilock brake system, the CAB, the EMIC, the CAN data bus or the
electronic communication related to ABS indicator operation a diagnostic scan tool is required.

Audible Warning Device: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
A chime warning system is standard factory-installed equipment. The chime warning system uses
an electromechanical transducer and an electromechanical relay that are soldered onto the
electronic circuit board inside of the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (1) to provide
audible indications of various vehicle conditions that may require the attention of the vehicle
operator or occupants. The EMIC also includes the hardware and software necessary to serve as
the electronic body control module and is sometimes referred to as the Cab Compartment Node or
CCN.
The electromechanical transducer generates beep tones and chime tones, while the
electromechanical relay generates click tones to emulate the sounds associated with conventional
turn signal and hazard warning flasher operation. The microprocessor-based EMIC utilizes
electronic chime request messages received from other modules in the vehicle over the Controller
Area Network (CAN) data bus along with hard wired inputs to monitor many sensors and switches
throughout the vehicle. In response to those inputs, the circuitry and programming of the EMIC
allow it to control the audible outputs that are produced through its on-board transducer and relay.
The EMIC is capable of producing the following audible outputs:
- Slow Rate Repetitive Click - Repeated click tones that are issued at a slow rate of about 50 clicks
per minute.
Fast Rate Repetitive Click - Repeated click tones that are issued at a fast rate of more than about
100 clicks per minute.
Fixed Duration Beep - A short, sharp, single tactile beep tone.
- Single Chime Tone - A single chime tone.
- Slow Rate Repetitive Chime - Repeated chime tones that are issued at a slow rate of about 50
chimes per minute.
- Fast Rate Repetitive Chime - Repeated chime tones that are issued at a fast rate of about 180
chimes per minute.
Hard wired circuitry connects the EMIC and the various chime warning system switch and sensor
inputs to their modules and 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 different methods. These circuits may be connected to each other, to the vehicle
electrical system and to the EMIC 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 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.
The EMIC chime warning system circuits and components cannot be adjusted or repaired. If the
EMIC circuitry, the on-board transducer or the relay are

Audible Warning Device: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The chime warning system operates on battery voltage received through a fuse in the Totally
Integrated Power Module (TIPM) on a non-switched fused B(+) circuit so that the system may
operate regardless of the ignition switch position. The chime warning system also monitors the
ignition switch position so that some chime features are functional only with the ignition switch in
the ON position, while others are functional regardless of the ignition switch position.
The chime warning system provides an audible indication to the vehicle operator or occupants
under the following conditions:
- Airbag Indicator Warning - The ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the
Cab Compartment Node/CCN) transducer will generate one short chime when the ignition switch is
in the ON position, and an electronic message is received over the Controller Area Network (CAN)
data bus from the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) requesting airbag indicator illumination.
This warning will only occur following completion of the airbag indicator bulb test, and will only
occur once during any ignition cycle.
- Compass Mini-Trip Computer Global Reset - The EMIC transducer will generate one short chime
when the ignition switch is in the ON position, and an electronic message is received over the CAN
data bus from the optional Compass Mini-Trip Computer (CMTC) requesting that the CMTC
average fuel economy, trip odometer and distance to empty data be reset. The CMTC monitors
hard wired inputs from the US/M (United States/Metric) and RESET button switches to determine
the proper reset messages to send to the EMIC.
- Door Ajar Indicator Warning - The EMIC transducer will generate one short chime when the
ignition switch is in the ON position, a hard wired input is received indicating that the status of any
door ajar switch has changed, and an electronic message is received over the CAN data bus
indicating that the vehicle is moving.
- Electronic Stability Program/Brake Assist System Warning - The EMIC transducer will generate
one short chime when the Electronic Stability Program (ESP)/Brake Assist System (BAS) has been
manually disabled by the vehicle operator using the ESP/BAS traction control switch on the
instrument panel.
- Electronic Stability Program/Brake Assist System Fault Warning - The EMIC transducer will
generate one short chime each time the Electronic Stability Program (ESP)/Brake Assist System
(BAS) indicator is illuminated in the instrument cluster. This warning indicates a failure condition
has been monitored affecting the operation of the ESP/BAS related components or circuits. This
warning will only occur following completion of the ESP/BAS indicator bulb test, and will only occur
once during any ignition cycle.
- Engine Coolant Temperature High Warning (Diesel Engine Only) - The EMIC transducer will
generate a single chime tone when the check gauges indicator is illuminated for a high or critical
engine coolant temperature condition. The EMIC uses electronic engine coolant temperature
messages received from the diesel Engine Control Module (ECM) over the CAN data bus to
illuminate the check gauges indicator for a coolant temperature high condition.
- Electronic Vehicle Information Center Data Reset - The EMIC transducer will generate one short
chime when the ignition switch is in the ON position, and an electronic message is received over
the CAN data bus from the optional Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) requesting that
the EVIC average fuel economy, trip odometer, distance to empty or customer programmable
features data be reset. The EVIC monitors hard wired inputs from the EVIC control push button
switches to determine the proper reset messages to send to the EMIC.
- Fasten Seat Belt Indicator Warning - The EMIC transducer will generate repetitive chimes at a
slow rate to announce that a hard wired input from the seat belt switch indicates that the driver side
front seat belt is not fastened with the ignition switch in the ON position. The chime warning system
also supports the enhanced seatbelt reminder (beltminder) when this feature is enabled. See: Seat
Belt Reminder Lamp/Description and Operation/Operation .
- Head/Park Lamps-On Warning - The EMIC transducer will generate repetitive chimes at a fast
rate to indicate that hard wired inputs from the driver door ajar switch, the headlamp switch, and
the ignition switch indicate that the exterior lamps are turned ON with the driver side front door
opened and the ignition switch in the OFF position. The chimes will continue to sound until the
exterior lamps are turned OFF, the driver side front door is closed, or the ignition switch is turned to
the ON position, whichever occurs first.
- Key-In-Ignition Warning - The EMIC transducer will generate repetitive chimes at a fast rate to
indicate that hard wired inputs from the driver door ajar switch, the ignition switch, and the key-in
ignition switch circuitry of the ignition switch indicate that the key is in the ignition lock cylinder with
the driver side front door open and the ignition switch in the OFF position. The chimes will continue
to sound until the key is removed from the ignition lock cylinder, the driver side front door is closed,
or the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, whichever occurs first.
- Low Fuel Indicator Warning - The EMIC transducer will generate one short chime when the low
fuel indicator is illuminated by the instrument cluster circuitry. This chime will only occur once
during any ignition cycle.
- Low Oil Pressure Warning (Diesel Engine Only) - The EMIC transducer will generate repetitive
chimes at a fast rate when the check gauges indicator is illuminated for a low oil pressure
condition. The EMIC uses electronic engine speed and oil pressure messages received from the
diesel Engine Control Module (ECM) over the CAN data bus indicating that the engine is running
and that the oil pressure is low to illuminate the check gauges indicator. The chimes will continue to
sound for five seconds, until the oil pressure message indicates that the oil pressure is not low, or
until the engine speed message indicates that the engine is not running, whichever occurs first.
This chime will only occur once during any ignition cycle.
- Low Wash Indicator Warning - The EMIC transducer will generate one short chime when the low
washer fluid indicator is illuminated by the instrument cluster circuitry. This chime will only occur
once during any ignition cycle.
- Overspeed Warning - The EMIC transducer will generate repetitive chimes at a slow rate to
indicate that the vehicle speed is over a pre-programmed speed value. The EMIC monitors
electronic vehicle speed messages received over the CAN data bus. This feature is only enabled

code.
- Park Brake Reminder - The EMIC transducer will generate one short chime to announce that the
hard wired input from the park brake switch
Dodge Ram 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (Truck V8-4.7L (2008))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Audible Warning Device > Component
Information > Description and Operation > Description > Page 14419
and an electronic vehicle speed message received over the CAN data bus indicate that the park
brake is applied and the vehicle is moving. This chime will repeat each time the input conditions are
met.
- Sentry Key Customer Learn Mode Announcement - The EMIC transducer will generate one short
chime to confirm that an electronic Customer Learn mode message has been received over the
CAN data bus to indicate that the Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM) (also known as the
Wireless Control Module/WCM) is prepared for programming additional sentry key transponders.
This chime feature is only active on vehicles equipped with the optional Sentry Key system, and
sold in a market where Customer Learn programming is an allowed feature.
- Trans Overtemp Indicator Warning - On vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission only,
the EMIC transducer will generate repetitive chimes at a slow rate when the transmission overtemp
indicator is illuminated by the instrument cluster circuitry for a high or critical transmission fluid
temperature condition. This chime will repeat each time the trans overtemp indicator is cycled from
OFF to ON.
- Turn Signal/Hazard Warning Flasher Emulation - The EMIC relay will generate repetitive clicks at
a slow rate to emulate an electromechanical flasher when the turn signal or hazard warning system
are operating. The EMIC relay will generate repetitive clicks at a fast rate to indicate that the right
or left turn signals are operating with one or more bulbs ineffective. In either case, the clicks will
continue until the turn signal and hazard warning systems are turned OFF.
- Turn Signal On Warning - The EMIC transducer will generate repetitive chimes at a slow rate to
indicate that a turn signal has been active continuously for 1.6 kilometers (1 mile) with the vehicle
speed greater than 22 kilometers-per-hour (15 miles-per hour). Vehicles built for markets other
than the United States and Canada have a revised distance threshold of 4 kilometers (2.49 miles)
for this feature. The chime will continue until the turn signal input becomes inactive or until the
electronic vehicle speed message indicates that the speed is less than 22 kilometers-per-hour (15
miles-per-hour), whichever occurs first. The hazard warning flashers will not activate this chime
feature.
Warning Indicator Announcement - The EMIC transducer will generate one short chime each time
the check gauges indicator is illuminated by the instrument cluster circuitry. The check gauges
indicator may be illuminated when any critical engine or transmission systems are operating
outside of their normal parameters. The instrument cluster monitors electronic messages received
over the CAN data bus to determine when to illuminate the check gauges indicator.
The EMIC provides chime service for all available features in the chime warning system. The EMIC
relies upon its internal programming, numerous hard wired inputs, and electronic message inputs
received from other modules over the CAN data bus network to provide the chime warning system
features. 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 that is to be generated.
The hard wired circuits between components related to the chime warning system may be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information. The wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector repair
procedures, details of wire harness routing and retention, connector pin-out information and
location views for the various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.
However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the chime
warning system or the electronic controls or communication between modules and other devices
that provide some features of the chime warning system. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate
means to diagnose the chime warning system or the electronic controls and communication related
to chime warning system operation requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.

Brake Warning Indicator: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
A brake indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. This indicator is located near the
lower edge of the instrument cluster, between the tachometer and the speedometer.
The brake indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the word BRAKE and the International
Control and Display Symbol icon for Brake Failure in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster
overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it
is not illuminated. A red Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the
overlay causes the indicator to appear in red through the translucent outer layer of the overlay
when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the instrument cluster
electronic circuit board.
The brake indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Brake Warning Indicator: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The brake indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the parking brake is applied,
when there are certain brake hydraulic system malfunctions as indicated by a low brake hydraulic
fluid level condition, or when the brake fluid level switch is disconnected. The brake indicator can
also give an indication when certain faults are detected in the Antilock Brake System (ABS). This
indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument cluster circuit board based upon cluster
programming, electronic messages received by the cluster from the Controller Antilock Brake
(CAB) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus, and a hard wired input from the park
brake switch.
The brake indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument cluster
logic circuit, and that logic will only allow this indicator to operate when the instrument cluster
receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the
LED will always be OFF when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED
only illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The
instrument cluster will turn ON the brake indicator for the following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position the brake indicator is
illuminated for about four seconds as a bulb test. The entire bulb test is a function of the CAB.
- Brake Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic brake indicator
lamp-ON message from the CAB, the brake indicator will be illuminated. The CAB may also send
lamp-ON messages as feedback during ABS diagnostic procedures. The indicator remains
illuminated until the cluster receives a lamp-OFF message from the CAB, or until the ignition switch
is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Park Brake Switch Input - Each time the cluster detects ground on the park brake switch sense
circuit (park brake switch closed = park brake applied or not fully released) while the ignition switch
is in the ON position, the brake indicator flashes ON and OFF. The indicator continues to flash until
the park brake switch sense input to the cluster is an open circuit (park brake switch open = park
brake fully released), or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs
first.
- Actuator Test - Each time the instrument cluster is put through the actuator test, the brake
indicator will be turned ON, then OFF again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the
functionality of the LED and the cluster control circuitry.
The park brake switch on the park brake pedal mechanism provides a hard wired ground input to
the instrument cluster circuitry through the park brake switch sense circuit whenever the park brake
is applied or not fully released. The CAB continually monitors the ABS system circuits and sensors,
including the brake fluid level switch on the brake master cylinder reservoir, to decide whether the
system is in good operating condition. The CAB then sends the proper lamp-ON or lamp-OFF
message to the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab
Compartment Node/CCN). If the CAB sends a lamp-ON message after the bulb test, it indicates
that the CAB has detected a brake hydraulic system malfunction or that the ABS system has
become ineffective. The CAB will store a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for any malfunction it
detects.

Charge Lamp/Indicator: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The charging indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the electrical system
voltage is too low or too high. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument cluster
circuit board based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received by the cluster
from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The charging indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument cluster
logic circuit, and that logic will only allow this indicator to operate when the instrument cluster
receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the
LED will always be OFF when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED
only illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The
instrument cluster will turn ON the charging indicator for the following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position the charging indicator is
illuminated by the instrument cluster for about two seconds as a bulb test.
- Voltage Low Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic system voltage message
from the PCM indicating the voltage is low (less than about 11.5 volts is a charge fail condition), the
charging indicator will be illuminated. The indicator remains illuminated until the cluster receives a
message from the PCM indicating the voltage is normal (greater than about 12.0 volts, but less
than 16.0 volts), or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Voltage High Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic system voltage message
from the PCM indicating the voltage is high (greater than about 16.0 volts), the charging indicator
will be illuminated. The indicator remains illuminated until the cluster receives a message from the
PCM indicating the voltage is normal (less than about 15.5 volts, but greater than 11.5 volts), or
until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the charging indicator will be
turned ON, then OFF again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of
the LED and the cluster control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the electrical system voltage to control the generator output. The
PCM then sends the proper messages to the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also
known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN). If the instrument cluster turns ON the charging
indicator due to a charge fail or voltage high condition, it may indicate that the charging system
requires service. For further diagnosis of the charging indicator or the instrument cluster circuitry
that controls the indicator, Refer to appropriate testing.
For proper diagnosis of the charging system, the PCM, the EMIC, the CAN data bus or the
electronic communication related to charging indicator operation a diagnostic scan tool is required.

Check Gauges Lamp: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The check gauges indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when certain instrument
cluster gauge readings reflect a condition requiring immediate attention. This indicator is controlled
by a transistor on the instrument cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming and
electronic messages received by the cluster from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) on vehicles
equipped with a gasoline engine, or from the Engine Control Module (ECM) on vehicles equipped
with a diesel engine over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The check gauges indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument
cluster logic circuit, and that logic will only allow this indicator to operate when the instrument
cluster receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit.
Therefore, the LED will always be OFF when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or
START. The LED only illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster
transistor. The instrument cluster will turn ON the check gauges indicator for the following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position the check gauges indicator is
illuminated for about two seconds as a bulb test.
- Engine Temperature High Message - Each time the cluster receives three consecutive electronic
messages from the PCM or ECM indicating the engine coolant temperature is high, the check
gauges indicator will be illuminated and a single chime is sounded. The indicator remains
illuminated until the cluster receives a message from the PCM or ECM indicating that the engine
coolant temperature is not high, or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever
occurs first.
- Engine Oil Pressure Low Message - Each time the cluster receives three consecutive electronic
messages from the PCM or ECM indicating the engine oil pressure is low, the check gauges
indicator will be illuminated and a single chime is sounded. The indicator remains illuminated until
the cluster receives a message from the PCM or ECM indicating that the engine oil pressure is not
low, or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first. The cluster will
only turn the indicator ON in response to an engine oil pressure low message if the engine speed is
greater than zero.
- System Voltage Low (Charge Fail) Message - Each time the cluster receives three consecutive
electronic messages from the PCM or ECM indicating the electrical system voltage is low (charge
fail condition) or that the battery temperature sensor input is an open circuit, the check gauges
indicator will be illuminated and a single chime is sounded. The indicator remains illuminated until
the cluster receives a single message from the PCM or ECM indicating the electrical system
voltage is not low, or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- System Voltage High Message - Each time the cluster receives three consecutive electronic
messages from the PCM or ECM indicating the electrical system voltage is high, the check gauges
indicator will be illuminated and a single chime is sounded. The indicator remains illuminated until
the cluster receives a single message from the PCM or ECM indicating the electrical system
voltage is not high, or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the check gauges indicator
will be turned ON, then OFF again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the
functionality of the LED and the cluster control circuitry.
The PCM (gasoline engine) or ECM (diesel engine) continually monitors the engine temperature,
oil pressure and electrical system voltage, then sends the proper messages to the
ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN).
For further diagnosis of the check gauges indicator or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls
the LED, Refer to appropriate testing.
For proper diagnosis of the PCM, the ECM, the EMIC, the CAN data bus or the electronic
communication related to check gauges indicator operation a diagnostic scan tool is required.

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
All switches, components, and modules are shown in the at rest position with the doors closed and
the key removed from the ignition.
Components are shown two ways. A solid line around a component indicates that the component is
complete. A dashed line around the component indicates that the component is being shown is not
complete. Incomplete components have a reference number to indicate the page where the
component is shown complete.
It is important to realize that no attempt is made on the diagrams to represent components and
wiring as they appear on the vehicle. For example, a short piece of wire is treated the same as a
long one. In addition, switches and other components are shown as simply as possible, with regard
to function only.

All ESD sensitive components are solid state and a symbol is used to indicate this. When handling
any component with this symbol, comply with the following procedures to reduce the possibility of
electrostatic charge build up on the body and inadvertent discharge into the component. If it is not
known whether the part is ESD sensitive, assume that it is.
1. Always touch a known good ground before handling the part. This should be repeated while
handling the part and more frequently after sliding
across a seat, sitting down from a standing position, or walking a distance.
2. Avoid touching electrical terminals of the part, unless instructed to do so by a written procedure.
3. When using a voltmeter, be sure to connect the ground lead first. 4. Do not remove the part from
it's protective packing until it is time to install the part. 5. Before removing the part from it's
package, ground the package to a known good ground on the vehicle.

Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- Ohmmeter - Used to check the resistance between two points of a circuit. Low or no resistance in
a circuit means good continuity.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking resistance in these circuits use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
In addition, make sure the power is disconnected from the circuit. Circuits that are powered up by
the vehicle's electrical system can cause damage to the equipment and provide false readings.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Cigarette Lighter > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 14459
- Probing Tools - These tools are used for probing terminals in connectors. Select the proper size
tool from Special Tool Package 6807, and insert the probing end (2) into the terminal being tested.
Use the other end of the tool (1) to insert the meter probe.
INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent electrical problems are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. It is also
possible for a sticking component or relay to cause a problem. Before condemning a component or
wiring assembly, check the following items.
- Connectors are fully seated
- Spread terminals, or terminal push out
- Terminals in the wiring assembly are fully seated into the connector/component and locked into
position
- Dirt or corrosion on the terminals. Any amount of corrosion or dirt could cause an intermittent
problem
- Damaged connector/component casing exposing the item to dirt or moisture
- Wire insulation that has rubbed through causing a short to ground
- Some or all of the wiring strands broken inside of the insulation
- Wiring broken inside of the insulation
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are six steps which can aid in the procedure. The
steps are listed and explained below. Always check for non-factory items added to the vehicle
before doing any diagnosis. If the vehicle is equipped with these items, disconnect them to verify
these add-on items are not the cause of the problem.
1. Verify the problem. 2. Verify any related symptoms. Do this by performing operational checks on
components that are in the same circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams. 3. Analyze the symptoms.
Use the wiring diagrams to determine what the circuit is doing, where the problem most likely is
occurring and where the
diagnosis will continue.
4. Isolate the problem area. 5. Repair the problem area. 6. Verify the proper operation. For this
step, check for proper operation of all items on the repaired circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams.

Compass: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
NOTE: The Compass Mini-Trip Computer (CMTC) module is sometimes referred to as Electronic
Overhead Module (EOM) for the purposes of scan tool and diagnostic information naming. Please
treat the CMTC and EOM as one and the same when diagnosing the vehicle.
The Compass Mini-Trip Computer (CMTC) is located in the overhead console and consists of the
following components:
- HomeLink(R) transceiver (3) - if equipped
- Vacuum-Fluorescent Display (VFD) (6)
- Push button function switches (1, 2, 3, 4 and 5)
- Replaceable light bulbs to illuminate the push button function switches
The CMTC contains a central processing unit and interfaces with other electronic modules in the
vehicle on the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus. The CAN data bus allows the sharing of
sensor information. This helps to reduce wire harness complexity, reduce internal controller
hardware, and reduce component sensor current loads. At the same time, this system provides
increased reliability, enhanced diagnostics, and allows the addition of many new feature
capabilities. The individual components of the CMTC module are not serviced separately and if
damaged or inoperative, must be replaced as a unit.
The CMTC provides several electronic functions and features. Some of the functions and features
that the CMTC supports and/or controls, include the following display options:
-
Compass and Temperature - provides the outside temperature and one of eight compass readings
to indicate the direction the vehicle is facing.
- Trip Odometer (ODO) - shows the distance travelled since the last trip computer reset.
- Average Fuel Economy (AVG ECO) - shows the average fuel economy since the last reset.
Average fuel economy is a running average of the amount of fuel used and the distance the vehicle
has traveled. When the fuel economy is reset, the display will momentarily blank. Then, the display
will show the same value as before the rest. The reset value is based on a minimal amount of fuel
used and the distance traveled from the previous drive cycle. The display may take several miles
for this value to change dependent upon driving habits.
- Distance To Empty (DTE) - shows the estimated distance that can be traveled with the fuel
remaining in the tank. This estimated distance is determined by weighted average of the
instantaneous and average fuel economy, according to the current fuel tank level. This is not
resettable. Significant changes in driving style or vehicle loading will greatly affect the actual
drivable distance of the vehicle, regardless of the DTE displayed value. When the DTE value is
less than 30 miles estimated driving distance, the DTE display will change to an alternating test
display of "LO" and "FUEL". This display will continue until the vehicle runs out of fuel. Adding a
significant amount of fuel to the vehicle will turn off the "LO FUEL" text and a new DTE value will be
displayed, based on the current values in the DTE calculation and the current fuel tank level.
Elapsed time (ET) - shows the accumulated ignition-on time since the last trip computer reset.
- Blank screen - the compass mini-trip computer VFD is turned off or in Blank Screen Mode.
COMPASS
NOTE: If the compass functions, but accuracy is suspect, it may be necessary to perform a
variance adjustment. This procedure allows the compass unit to accommodate variances in the
earth's magnetic field strength, based on geographic location. See: Service and
Repair/Procedures/Compass Mini-Trip Computer/Compass Variance Adjustment - CMTC for the
appropriate procedure.
While in the compass/temperature mode, the compass will display the direction in which the vehicle
is pointed using the eight major compass headings (Examples: north is N, northeast is NE). The
auto-calibrating compass unit requires no manual adjusting in normal use. The only calibration that
may prove necessary is to drive the vehicle in one or two complete circles, on level ground, not
exceeding 8 km/h (5 mph). This will reorient the compass unit
Dodge Ram 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (Truck V8-4.7L (2008))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Compass > Component Information >
Description and Operation > Description > Page 14470
to its vehicle.
The compass unit also will compensate for vehicle magnetism acquired during normal use.
However, avoid placing anything magnetic directly on the roof of the vehicle. Magnetic mounts for
an antenna, a repair order hat, or a funeral procession flag can exceed the compensating ability of
the compass unit if placed on the roof panel. Magnetic bit drivers used on the fasteners that hold
the overhead console assembly to the roof header can also affect compass operation. If the vehicle
roof should become magnetized, See: Service and Repair/Procedures/Compass Mini-Trip
Computer/Compass Demagnetizing - CMTC to restore proper compass operation.
TEMPERATURE
NOTE: The displayed temperature is not an instant reading of conditions, but an average
temperature. It may take the temperature display several minutes to respond to a major
temperature change, such as driving out of a heated garage into winter temperatures.
The temperature displays the outside ambient temperature in whole degrees. The temperature
display can be toggled from Fahrenheit to Celsius using the U.S./Metric push button.
Displayed temperature reading stays in the temperature unit memory. When the ignition switch is
turned to the On position, the temperature will display the memory temperature if the engine OFF
time is less than 255 minutes. If the engine OFF time is more than 255 minutes, the temperature
will display the actual temperature sensed by the ambient temperature sensor. The temperature
display update interval varies with the vehicle speed.
The temperature function is supported by an ambient temperature sensor. This sensor is mounted
outside the passenger compartment near the front and center of the vehicle, and is hard wired to
the Front Control Module (FCM). The instrument cluster, also known as the Cab Compartment
Node (CCN) averages and filters the ambient temperature signal and supplies it to other modules
on the CAN data bus. Data input for all other compass mini-trip computer functions, including VFD
dimming level, is received through CAN data bus messages. The maximum temperature displayed
is 66°C (140° F). It could take several miles for the accurate temperature to be displayed as the
CCN filters out heat from the engine compartment.
The CMTC uses its internal programming and all of these inputs to calculate and display the
requested data. If the data displayed is incorrect, perform the self-diagnostic tests, as described in
this group. If these tests prove inconclusive, the use of a scan tool and the proper Diagnostic
Procedures Information are recommended for further testing of the CMTC and the CAN data bus.
NOTE: The CMTC will display min and max temperatures of -40° C (-40° F) and 66°C (140° F).

Compass: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The Compass Mini-Trip Computer (CMTC) only operates with the ignition switch in the On position
and the Ignition Off Draw (IOD) fuse functioning and in place. When the ignition switch is turned to
the On position, all of the segments in the CMTC Vacuum-Fluorescent Display (VFD) will be turned
off for one second, then the display will return to the last function being displayed before the
ignition was turned to the Off position. With the ignition switch in the On position, momentarily
depressing and releasing the STEP push button (4) will cause the CMTC to change its mode of
operation. Momentarily depressing and releasing the U.S./M push button (1) will cause the unit to
toggle between U.S. and Metric measurements. Momentarily depressing and releasing the C/T
(compass/temperature) push button (5) will cause the CMTC to return to the compass/temperature
display mode from any other mode.
Pressing the RESET push button (2) for more than one second with the ignition switch in the On
position will reset the following CMTC functions:
- Average Fuel Economy (AVG ECO)
- Trip Odometer (ODO)
- Elapsed Time (ET)
However, the reset will only occur if the function currently displayed is a function that can be reset.
If the RESET push button is pressed twice within two seconds while in any of the three resettable
functions (AVG ECO, ODO, ET), all three of these functions will be reset.

Compass: Testing and Inspection
COMPASS MINI-TRIP COMPUTER
NOTE: The temperature, fuel economy, distance to empty and trip odometer are calculated in the
Cab Compartment Node (CCN) and transferred to the Compass Mini-Trip Computer (CMTC) for
display. If the CMTC and Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) test OK, testing of the CCN and
Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus circuit may be necessary. Refer to the proper Diagnostic
Procedures Information to test the CCN and CAN data bus circuit.
If the problem with the CMTC is an inaccurate or scrambled display, refer to SELF- DIAGNOSTIC
TEST. If the problem with the CMTC is incorrect Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) dimming
levels, use a scan tool and the proper Diagnostic Procedures Information to test for the correct
dimming message inputs being received from the Cab Compartment Node (CCN) or Front Control
Module (FCM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus circuit. If the problem is a
no-display condition, use the following procedure.
For complete circuit diagrams, refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wiring information
includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector repair procedures, details of wire harness
routing and retention, connector pin-out information and location views for the various wire harness
connectors, splices and grounds.
1. Remove the overhead console from the headliner See: Body and Frame/Interior Moulding /
Trim/Console/Service and Repair/Overhead
Console/Removal .
2. Inspect the Ignition Off Draw (IOD) fuse in the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM). If the
IOD fuse is OK and in place, go to STEP 3. If not
OK, repair the open IOD fuse circuit as required.
3. Check for battery voltage at the overhead console electrical connector. If OK, go to STEP 4. If
not OK, Check for battery voltage at the
appropriate B(+) fuse in the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM), repair the open fused B(+)
circuit as required.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the On position. Check the fused ignition switch output circuit(s) at the
overhead console electrical connector. If OK,
go to STEP 5. If not OK, repair the open or shorted circuit as required.
5. Turn the ignition switch to the Off position. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
Check for continuity between the ground circuit
cavity of the overhead console electrical connector and a good ground. There should be continuity.
If OK, refer to SELF- DIAGNOSTIC TEST for further diagnosis of the CMTC module and the CAN
data bus circuit. If not OK, repair the open ground circuit as required.
SELF- DIAGNOSTIC TEST
NOTE: The CMTC self - test can also be performed using a scan tool. Navigate to the Auto Self
Test screen under System Tests of the scan tool and initiate the CMTC self - test.
A self-diagnostic test is used to determine that the CMTC is operating properly electrically. Initiate
the self-diagnostic test as follows:
1. With the ignition switch in the Off position, simultaneously depress and hold the STEP and
RESET buttons while rotating the ignition switch to
the Run/On position.
2. Continue to hold both buttons depressed until the CMTC enters the display segment test. In this
test, all of the Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD)
segments are lighted while the CMTC performs the following checks: Non-Volatile Memory Status (NVM)
- RAM Status
- ROM Status
- ASIC Communication Status
- Compass Status
- DC Status
- CAN Data Bus Communications Status
NOTE: If the CMTC module is equipped with the Universal Transmitter (also known as
HomeLink(R)), the module also checks "HomeLink(R) Communication Test Status".
3. Following completion of these tests, the CMTC will display one of two messages: "FAIL" or
"PASS." Press the RESET or STEP button to exit
and enter normal mode. Respond to these test results as follows: If no test result message is displayed, but CMTC operation is still improper, the use of a scan tool
and the proper Diagnostic Procedures Information are required for further diagnosis.
- If the "FAIL" message is displayed, the CMTC is inoperative and must be replaced.
- If the "PASS" message is displayed, the CMTC is OK, no faults are present.
- If any VFD segment does not light during the display segment test, the CMTC is inoperative and
must be replaced.
If the first seven tests pass, the CMTC shall verify that all the required CAN bus messages are
present on the CAN bus. If all required messages are present on the CAN bus, the CMTC will
automatically return to normal operation after sixty seconds. The CMTC can also be returned to
normal operation any time during the test by pressing the STEP , CT , RESET or US/M buttons.
NOTE: Pressing the STEP or RESET buttons during any portion of the CMTC Self - Diagnostic
Test Procedure will cause the CMTC to exit diagnostics and return to compass/temperature mode.

Manual Compass Calibration - CMTC
MANUAL COMPASS CALIBRATION
CAUTION: Do not place any external magnets, such as magnetic roof mount antennas, in the
vicinity of the overhead console. Do not use magnetic tools when servicing the overhead console.
NOTE: Whenever the compass is calibrated manually, the variance number must also be reset.
See: Compass Mini-Trip Computer/Compass Variance Adjustment - CMTC for the appropriate
procedure.
The electronic compass unit features a self-calibrating design, which simplifies the calibration
procedure. This feature automatically updates the compass calibration while the vehicle is being
driven. This allows the compass unit to compensate for small changes in the residual magnetism
that the vehicle may acquire during normal use. If the compass readings appear to be erratic or out
of calibration, perform the following calibration procedure. Also, new service replacement Compass
Mini-Trip Computer (CMTC) modules must have their compass calibrated using this procedure. Do
not attempt to calibrate the compass near large metal objects such as other vehicles, large
buildings, or bridges; or, near overhead or underground power lines.
Calibrate the compass manually as follows:
1. Turn the ignition switch to the On position. If the compass/temperature data is not currently being
displayed, momentarily depress and release the
C/T push button (5) to return to the compass/temperature display.
2. Depress and hold the RESET push button (2). Hold the push button down until "CAL" appears in
the display. This takes about ten seconds. 3. Slowly drive the vehicle on a level surface, away from
large metal objects and power lines, through one or two complete circles not exceeding 8
km/h (5 mph). The "CAL" message will disappear from the display to indicate that the compass is
now calibrated.
NOTE: A blank compass display indicates that vehicle degaussing (demagnetizing) may be
necessary.
NOTE: If the "CAL" message remains in the display, either there is excessive magnetism near the
compass, or the CMTC is inoperative. Attempt the calibration procedure at least one more time
before performing CMTC diagnosis.
NOTE: If the wrong direction is still indicated in the compass display, the area selected for
calibration may be too close to a strong magnetic field. Repeat the calibration procedure in another
location.

A degaussing tool (Special Tool 6029) is used to demagnetize, or degauss, the overhead console
forward mounting screw and the roof panel above the overhead console. Equivalent units must be
rated as continuous duty for 110/115 volts and 60 Hz. They must also have a field strength of over
350 gauss at 7 millimeters (0.25 inch) beyond the tip of the probe.
To demagnetize the roof panel and the overhead console forward mounting screw, proceed as
follows:
1. Be certain that the ignition switch is in the Off position, before you begin the demagnetizing
procedure. 2. Connect the degaussing tool to an electrical outlet, while keeping the tool at least 61
centimeters (2 feet) away from the compass unit. 3. Slowly approach the head of the overhead
console forward mounting screw with the degaussing tool connected. 4. Contact the head of the
screw with the plastic coated tip of the degaussing tool for about two seconds. 5. With the
degaussing tool still energized, slowly back it away from the screw. When the tip of the tool is at
least 61 centimeters (2 feet) from the
screw head, disconnect the tool.
6. Place a piece of paper approximately 22 by 28 centimeters (8.5 by 11 inches), oriented on the

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Compass > Component Information >
Service and Repair > Procedures > Page 14477
Compass variance, also known as magnetic declination, is the difference in angle between
magnetic north and true geographic north. In some geographic locations, the difference between
magnetic and geographic north is great enough to cause the compass to give false readings. If this
problem occurs, the compass variance must be set.
NOTE: If the vehicle is taken on long trips into a new variance zone the compass function may be
effected. Compass variance may need to be adjusted to the new zone number to function properly.
NOTE: The default for the compass variance from the factory is 8.
To set the compass variance:
1. Using the Variance Settings Map, find your geographic location and note the zone number.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the On/Run position. If the compass/temperature data is not currently
being displayed, momentarily depress and release
the C/T push button (5) to return to the compass/temperature display.
3. Press and hold the RESET push button (2) down for approximately five seconds. The last
variance zone number will be displayed. 4. Momentarily depress and release the STEP push
button (4) to toggle through the zone numbers (1-15), until the zone number for your geographic
location appears in the display.
5. Momentarily depress and release the RESET push button (2) to enter the displayed zone
number into the compass unit memory. 6. Confirm that the correct directions are now indicated by
the compass.
Manual Compass Calibration - EVIC
MANUAL COMPASS CALIBRATION
CAUTION: Do not place any external magnets, such as magnetic roof mount antennas, in the
vicinity of the overhead console. Do not use magnetic tools when servicing the overhead console.
Dodge Ram 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (Truck V8-4.7L (2008))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Compass > Component Information >
Service and Repair > Procedures > Page 14478
NOTE: Whenever the compass is calibrated manually, the variance number must also be reset.
See: Electronic Vehicle Information Center - Standard Procedures/Compass Variance Adjustment EVIC for the appropriate procedure.
The electronic compass unit features a self-calibrating design, which simplifies the calibration
procedure. This feature automatically updates the compass calibration while the vehicle is being
driven. This allows the compass unit to compensate for small changes in the residual magnetism
that the vehicle may acquire during normal use. If the compass readings appear to be erratic or the
Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) displays "CAL", perform the following manual
calibration procedure. Also, any time EVIC service replacement components are installed, they
must be calibrated using this procedure. Do not attempt to calibrate the compass near large metal
objects such as other vehicles, large buildings, or bridges; or, near overhead or underground power
lines.
Calibrate the compass manually as follows:
1. Turn the ignition switch to the On/Run position. Press and release the MENU push button (1)
until "Personal Settings" is displayed. 2. Press the STEP push button (4) until "Calibrate Compass
YES" is displayed. 3. Momentarily depress and release the RESET push button (2) to initiate the
calibration procedure. The message "CAL will appear in the Compass
/Temperature display.
4. Slowly drive the vehicle on a level surface, away from large metal objects and power lines,
through one or two complete circles not exceeding 8
km/h (5 mph). The "CAL" message will disappear from the display to indicate that the compass is
now calibrated.
NOTE: A blank compass display indicates that vehicle degaussing (demagnetizing) may be
necessary.
NOTE: If the "CAL" message remains in the display, either there is excessive magnetism near the
compass, or the EVIC is inoperative. Attempt the calibration procedure at least one more time
before performing EVIC diagnosis.
NOTE: If the wrong direction is still indicated in the compass display, the area selected for
calibration may be too close to a strong magnetic field. Repeat the manual calibration procedure in
another location.
Compass Demagnetizing - EVIC
COMPASS DEMAGNETIZING
A degaussing tool (Special Tool 6029) is used to demagnetize, or degauss, the overhead console
forward mounting screw and the roof panel above the overhead console. Equivalent units must be
rated as continuous duty for 110/115 volts and 60 Hz. They must also have a field strength of over
350 gauss at 7 millimeters (0.25 inch) beyond the tip of the probe.
To demagnetize the roof panel and the overhead console forward mounting screw, proceed as
follows:

1. Be certain that the ignition switch is in the Off position, before you begin the demagnetizing
procedure. 2. Connect the degaussing tool to an electrical outlet, while keeping the tool at least 61
centimeters (2 feet) away from the compass unit. 3. Slowly approach the head of the overhead
console forward mounting screw with the degaussing tool connected. 4. Contact the head of the
screw with the plastic coated tip of the degaussing tool for about two seconds. 5. With the
degaussing tool still energized, slowly back it away from the screw. When the tip of the tool is at
least 61 centimeters (2 feet) from the
screw head, disconnect the tool.
To demagnetize the roof panel proceed as follows:
6. Place a piece of paper approximately 22 by 28 centimeters (8.5 by 11 inches), oriented on the
vehicle lengthwise from front to rear, on the center
line of the roof at the windshield header. The purpose of the paper is to protect the roof panel from

7. Connect the degaussing tool to an electrical outlet, while keeping the tool at least 61 centimeters
(2 feet) away from the compass unit. 8. Slowly approach the center line of the roof panel at the
windshield header, with the degaussing tool connected. 9. Contact the roof panel with the plastic
coated tip of the degaussing tool. Be sure that the template is in place to avoid scratching the roof
panel.
Using a slow, back-and-forth sweeping motion, and allowing 13 millimeters (0.50 inch) between
passes, move the tool at least 11 centimeters (4 inches) to each side of the roof center line, and 28
centimeters (11 inches) back from the windshield header.

Cruise Control Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
A cruise indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. However, on vehicles not
equipped with the optional speed control system, this indicator is electronically disabled. The cruise
indicator is located on the left side of the cluster, to the left of the fuel gauge.
The cruise indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the word CRUISE in the opaque layer of the
instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being
clearly visible when it is not illuminated. A green Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in
the opaque layer of the overlay causes the indicator to appear in green through the translucent
outer layer of the overlay when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the
instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
When the exterior lighting is turned ON the illumination intensity of the cruise indicator is dimmable,
which is adjusted along with the cluster general illumination lighting using the panel lamps dimmer
thumbwheel on the headlamp switch.
The cruise indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Cruise Control Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The cruise indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the speed control system is
ON, regardless of whether the speed control is engaged. This indicator is controlled by a transistor
on the instrument cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming and electronic messages
received by the cluster from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) over the Controller Area
Network (CAN) data bus.
The cruise indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument cluster
logic circuit, and that logic will only allow this indicator to operate when the instrument cluster
receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the
LED will always be OFF when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED
only illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The
instrument cluster will turn ON the cruise indicator for the following reasons:
- Cruise Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic cruise indicator
lamp-ON message from the PCM indicating the speed control system is ON, the cruise indicator is
illuminated. The indicator remains illuminated until the cluster receives a lamp-OFF message from
the PCM or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the cruise indicator will be
turned ON, then OFF again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of
the LED and the cluster control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the speed control switches to determine the proper outputs to the
speed control servo. The PCM then sends the proper lamp-ON or lamp-OFF message to the
ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN).
For further diagnosis of the cruise indicator or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the LED,
Refer to appropriate testing.
For proper diagnosis of the speed control system, the PCM, the EMIC, the CAN data bus or the
electronic communication related to cruise indicator operation a diagnostic scan tool is required.
Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Door/Trunk Ajar Indicator/Lamp: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
A door ajar indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. This indicator appears within
the odometer Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) unit. The door ajar indicator consists of a textual
door message which appears in place of the odometer information in the odometer display.
The odometer VFD is soldered onto the cluster electronic circuit board, and is visible through a
window with a smoked clear lens located on the lower edge of the speedometer gauge dial face of
the cluster overlay. The dark lens over the VFD prevents it from being clearly visible when it is not
illuminated. The door ajar textual message appears in the same blue-green color and at the same
lighting level as the odometer information when it is illuminated by the instrument cluster electronic
circuit board.
The door ajar indicator is serviced as a unit with the VFD in the instrument cluster.

Door/Trunk Ajar Indicator/Lamp: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The door ajar indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator that one or more of the
passenger compartment doors may be open or not completely latched. This indicator is controlled
by the instrument cluster logic circuit based upon cluster programming and hard wired inputs
received by the cluster from the door ajar switches located in each door latch unit.
The door ajar indicator function of the Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) is completely controlled
by the instrument cluster logic circuit, and that logic will only allow this indicator to operate when
the instrument cluster receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start)
circuit. Therefore, the VFD door ajar indication will always be OFF when the ignition switch is in any
position except ON or START. The instrument cluster will turn ON the door ajar indicator for the
following reasons:
- Door Ajar Switch Input - Each time the cluster detects ground on any one of the door ajar switch
sense circuits (door ajar switch closed = door is open or not completely latched) the door ajar
indicator will be illuminated. The indicator remains illuminated until all of the door ajar switch sense
inputs to the cluster are an open circuit (door ajar switch open = door fully closed), until the cluster
has completed an interior lamps load shed (about five minutes), or until the ignition switch is turned
to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
The ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment
Node/CCN) continually monitors the door ajar switches to determine the status of the doors. For
further diagnosis of the door ajar indicator or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the
indicator, Refer to appropriate testing.
The hard wired door ajar switches and circuits related to door ajar indicator operation may be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information.

Door Switch: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
This vehicle has up to four door ajar switches, one for each door. Each switch is concealed within
and integral to its respective door latch unit. The switches are momentary leaf contact-type units
that are actuated by the mechanisms internal to the door latch. A short pigtail wire and connector
on each door latch connects the door ajar switch to the vehicle electrical system through its
respective door wire harness.
The door ajar switches cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, the door latch
unit must be replaced. See: Body and Frame/Doors, Hood and Trunk/Doors/Front Door/Front Door

Door Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The door ajar switches are actuated by the mechanisms internal to the door latch. When a door is
closed and properly latched, its door ajar switch is an open circuit. When a door is open or only
partially latched, the door ajar switch is a closed circuit. The door ajar switches are hard wired in
series between a body ground and the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known
as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN).
The EMIC reads the hard wired door ajar switch inputs through internal pull-ups, then uses these
inputs to control many electronic functions and features of the vehicle. The EMIC also sends the
proper electronic door ajar switch status messages to other electronic modules in the vehicle over
the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The door ajar switches as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the switches may be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information.

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
All switches, components, and modules are shown in the at rest position with the doors closed and
the key removed from the ignition.
Components are shown two ways. A solid line around a component indicates that the component is
complete. A dashed line around the component indicates that the component is being shown is not
complete. Incomplete components have a reference number to indicate the page where the
component is shown complete.
It is important to realize that no attempt is made on the diagrams to represent components and
wiring as they appear on the vehicle. For example, a short piece of wire is treated the same as a
long one. In addition, switches and other components are shown as simply as possible, with regard
to function only.

All ESD sensitive components are solid state and a symbol is used to indicate this. When handling
any component with this symbol, comply with the following procedures to reduce the possibility of
electrostatic charge build up on the body and inadvertent discharge into the component. If it is not
known whether the part is ESD sensitive, assume that it is.
1. Always touch a known good ground before handling the part. This should be repeated while
handling the part and more frequently after sliding
across a seat, sitting down from a standing position, or walking a distance.
2. Avoid touching electrical terminals of the part, unless instructed to do so by a written procedure.
3. When using a voltmeter, be sure to connect the ground lead first. 4. Do not remove the part from
it's protective packing until it is time to install the part. 5. Before removing the part from it's
package, ground the package to a known good ground on the vehicle.

Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- Ohmmeter - Used to check the resistance between two points of a circuit. Low or no resistance in
a circuit means good continuity.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking resistance in these circuits use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
In addition, make sure the power is disconnected from the circuit. Circuits that are powered up by
the vehicle's electrical system can cause damage to the equipment and provide false readings.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Driver/Vehicle Information Display >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 14523
- Probing Tools - These tools are used for probing terminals in connectors. Select the proper size
tool from Special Tool Package 6807, and insert the probing end (2) into the terminal being tested.
Use the other end of the tool (1) to insert the meter probe.
INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent electrical problems are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. It is also
possible for a sticking component or relay to cause a problem. Before condemning a component or
wiring assembly, check the following items.
- Connectors are fully seated
- Spread terminals, or terminal push out
- Terminals in the wiring assembly are fully seated into the connector/component and locked into
position
- Dirt or corrosion on the terminals. Any amount of corrosion or dirt could cause an intermittent
problem
- Damaged connector/component casing exposing the item to dirt or moisture
- Wire insulation that has rubbed through causing a short to ground
- Some or all of the wiring strands broken inside of the insulation
- Wiring broken inside of the insulation
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are six steps which can aid in the procedure. The
steps are listed and explained below. Always check for non-factory items added to the vehicle
before doing any diagnosis. If the vehicle is equipped with these items, disconnect them to verify
these add-on items are not the cause of the problem.
1. Verify the problem. 2. Verify any related symptoms. Do this by performing operational checks on
components that are in the same circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams. 3. Analyze the symptoms.
Use the wiring diagrams to determine what the circuit is doing, where the problem most likely is
occurring and where the
diagnosis will continue.
4. Isolate the problem area. 5. Repair the problem area. 6. Verify the proper operation. For this
step, check for proper operation of all items on the repaired circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams.

overhead console electrical connector. If OK,
go to STEP 5. If not OK, repair the open or shorted circuit as required.
5. Turn the ignition switch to the Off position. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
Check for continuity between the ground circuit
cavity of the overhead console electrical connector and a good ground. There should be continuity.
If OK, refer to SELF- DIAGNOSTIC TEST for further diagnosis of the EVIC module and the CAN
data bus circuit. If not OK, repair the open ground circuit as required.
SELF- DIAGNOSTIC TEST
NOTE: The EVIC self - test can also be performed using a scan tool. Navigate to the Auto Self Test
screen under System Tests of the scan tool and initiate the EVIC self - test.
A self-diagnostic test is used to determine that the EVIC is operating properly electrically. Initiate
the self-diagnostic test as follows:
1. With the ignition switch in the Off position, simultaneously depress and hold the STEP and
RESET buttons while rotating the ignition switch to
the Run/On position.
2. Continue to hold both buttons depressed until the EVIC enters the display segment test. In this
test, all of the Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD)
segments are lighted while the EVIC performs the following checks: Non-Volatile Memory Status (NVM)
- RAM Status
- ROM Status
- ASIC Communication Status
- Compass Status
- DC Status
- CAN Data Bus Communications Status
NOTE: If the EVIC module is equipped with the Universal Transmitter (also known as
HomeLink(R)), the module also checks "HomeLink(R) Communication Test Status".
3. Following completion of these tests, the EVIC will display one of two messages: "Self Test: FAIL"
or "Self Test: PASS." In addition to the
FAIL/PASS message the EVIC will display the current software version (SW V xx.xx.xxx) below the
FAIL/PASS info. Press the RESET or STEP button to exit and enter normal mode. Respond to
these test results as follows: If no test result message is displayed, but EVIC operation is still improper, the use of a scan tool
and the proper Diagnostic Procedures Information are required for further diagnosis.
- If the "Self Test: FAIL" message is displayed, the EVIC is inoperative and must be replaced.
- If the "Self Test: PASS" message is displayed, the EVIC is OK, no faults are present.
- If any VFD segment does not light during the display segment test, the EVIC is inoperative and
must be replaced.
If the first seven tests pass, the EVIC shall verify that all the required CAN bus messages are
present on the CAN bus. If all required messages are present on the CAN bus, the EVIC will
automatically return to normal operation after sixty seconds. The EVIC can also be returned to
normal operation any time during the test by pressing the STEP , C/T , RESET or US/M buttons.
NOTE: Pressing the STEP or RESET buttons during any portion of the EVIC Self - Diagnostic Test
Procedure will cause the EVIC to exit diagnostics and return to compass/temperature mode.

Manual Compass Calibration - EVIC
MANUAL COMPASS CALIBRATION
CAUTION: Do not place any external magnets, such as magnetic roof mount antennas, in the
vicinity of the overhead console. Do not use magnetic tools when servicing the overhead console.
NOTE: Whenever the compass is calibrated manually, the variance number must also be reset.
See: Compass/Service and Repair/Procedures/Electronic Vehicle Information Center - Standard
Procedures/Compass Variance Adjustment - EVIC for the appropriate procedure.
The electronic compass unit features a self-calibrating design, which simplifies the calibration
procedure. This feature automatically updates the compass calibration while the vehicle is being
driven. This allows the compass unit to compensate for small changes in the residual magnetism
that the vehicle may acquire during normal use. If the compass readings appear to be erratic or the
Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) displays "CAL", perform the following manual
calibration procedure. Also, any time EVIC service replacement components are installed, they
must be calibrated using this procedure. Do not attempt to calibrate the compass near large metal
objects such as other vehicles, large buildings, or bridges; or, near overhead or underground power
lines.
Calibrate the compass manually as follows:
1. Turn the ignition switch to the On/Run position. Press and release the MENU push button (1)
until "Personal Settings" is displayed. 2. Press the STEP push button (4) until "Calibrate Compass
YES" is displayed. 3. Momentarily depress and release the RESET push button (2) to initiate the
calibration procedure. The message "CAL will appear in the
Compass/Temperature display.
4. Slowly drive the vehicle on a level surface, away from large metal objects and power lines,
through one or two complete circles not exceeding 8
km/h (5 mph). The "CAL" message will disappear from the display to indicate that the compass is
now calibrated.
NOTE: A blank compass display indicates that vehicle degaussing (demagnetizing) may be
necessary.
NOTE: If the "CAL" message remains in the display, either there is excessive magnetism near the
compass, or the EVIC is inoperative. Attempt the calibration procedure at least one more time
before performing EVIC diagnosis.
NOTE: If the wrong direction is still indicated in the compass display, the area selected for
calibration may be too close to a strong magnetic field. Repeat the manual calibration procedure in
another location.

A degaussing tool (Special Tool 6029) is used to demagnetize, or degauss, the overhead console
forward mounting screw and the roof panel above the overhead console. Equivalent units must be
rated as continuous duty for 110/115 volts and 60 Hz. They must also have a field strength of over
350 gauss at 7 millimeters (0.25 inch) beyond the tip of the probe.
To demagnetize the roof panel and the overhead console forward mounting screw, proceed as
follows:
1. Be certain that the ignition switch is in the Off position, before you begin the demagnetizing
procedure. 2. Connect the degaussing tool to an electrical outlet, while keeping the tool at least 61
centimeters (2 feet) away from the compass unit. 3. Slowly approach the head of the overhead
console forward mounting screw with the degaussing tool connected. 4. Contact the head of the
screw with the plastic coated tip of the degaussing tool for about two seconds. 5. With the
degaussing tool still energized, slowly back it away from the screw. When the tip of the tool is at
least 61 centimeters (2 feet) from the
screw head, disconnect the tool.
To demagnetize the roof panel proceed as follows:
6. Place a piece of paper approximately 22 by 28 centimeters (8.5 by 11 inches), oriented on the
vehicle lengthwise from front to rear, on the center
line of the roof at the windshield header. The purpose of the paper is to protect the roof panel from
scratches, and to define the area to be demagnetized.
7. Connect the degaussing tool to an electrical outlet, while keeping the tool at least 61 centimeters
(2 feet) away from the compass unit. 8. Slowly approach the center line of the roof panel at the
windshield header, with the degaussing tool connected. 9. Contact the roof panel with the plastic
coated tip of the degaussing tool. Be sure that the template is in place to avoid scratching the roof
panel.
Using a slow, back-and-forth sweeping motion, and allowing 13 millimeters (0.50 inch) between
passes, move the tool at least 11 centimeters (4 inches) to each side of the roof center line, and 28
centimeters (11 inches) back from the windshield header.
10. With the degaussing tool still energized, slowly back it away from the roof panel. When the tip
of the tool is at least 61 centimeters (2 feet) from
the roof panel, disconnect the tool.
11. Calibrate the compass, See: Compass/Service and Repair/Procedures/Electronic Vehicle
Information Center - Standard Procedures/Manual
Compass Calibration - EVIC and adjust the compass variance, See: Compass/Service and
Repair/Procedures/Electronic Vehicle Information Center - Standard Procedures/Compass

Compass Variance Adjustment - EVIC
COMPASS VARIANCE ADJUSTMENT
Compass variance, also known as magnetic declination, is the difference in angle between
magnetic north and true geographic north. In some geographic locations, the difference between
magnetic and geographic north is great enough to cause the compass to give false readings. If this
problem occurs, the compass variance must be set.
NOTE: If the vehicle is taken on long trips into a new variance zone the compass function may be
effected. Compass variance may need to be adjusted to the new zone number to function properly.
NOTE: The default for the compass variance from the factory is 8.
To set the compass variance:
1. Using the Variance Settings Map, find your geographic location and note the zone number.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the On/Run position. Press and release the MENU push button (1)
until "Personal Settings" is displayed. 3. Press the STEP push button (4) until "Compass Variance"
is displayed. 4. Momentarily depress and release the RESET push button (2) to toggle through the
zone numbers (1-15), until the zone number for your
geographic location appears in the display.
5. Momentarily depress and release the C/T push button (5) to enter the displayed zone number
into the compass unit memory. 6. Confirm that the correct directions are now indicated by the
compass.

Electronic Throttle Control Indicator: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
An Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters.
However, on vehicles not equipped with the optional 5.7 liter gasoline engine, this indicator is
electronically disabled. This indicator is located in the lower portion of the tachometer dial face in
the instrument cluster overlay.
The ETC indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the International Control and Display Symbol
icon for Electronic Throttle Control in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster overlay. The dark
outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated.
A red Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the overlay causes the
indicator to appear in red through the translucent outer layer of the overlay when it is illuminated
from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
The ETC indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Electronic Throttle Control Indicator: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the
ETC system, or a circuit or component of the system is ineffective. The ETC indicator is controlled
by a transistor on the instrument cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming and
electronic messages received by the cluster from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) over the
Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The ETC indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument cluster
logic circuit, and that logic will only allow this indicator to operate when the instrument cluster
receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the
LED will always be OFF when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED
only illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The
instrument cluster will turn ON the ETC indicator for the following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position the ETC indicator is
illuminated for about six seconds. The entire bulb test is a function of the PCM.
- ETC Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic ETC indicator
lamp-ON message from the PCM, the ETC indicator will be illuminated. The indicator can be
flashed ON and OFF, or illuminated solid, as dictated by the PCM message. The indicator remains
illuminated solid or continues to flash for about 12 seconds or until the cluster receives a lamp-OFF
message from the PCM, whichever is longer. If the indicator is illuminated solid with the engine
running the vehicle will usually remain drivable. If the indicator is flashing with the engine running
the vehicle may require towing. A flashing indicator means the ETC system requires immediate
service. The indicator will be extinguished when the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position.
- Communication Error - If the cluster receives no lamp-ON or lamp-OFF messages from the PCM
for three consecutive seconds, the ETC indicator is illuminated. The indicator remains illuminated
until the cluster receives a single lamp-OFF message from the PCM.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the ETC indicator will be
turned ON, then OFF again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of
the LED and the cluster control circuitry. The actuator test illumination of the ETC indicator is a
function of the PCM.
The PCM continually monitors the ETC system circuits and sensors to decide whether the system
is in good operating condition. The PCM then sends the proper lamp-ON or lamp-OFF message to
the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment
Node/CCN). If the PCM sends a lamp-ON message after the bulb test, it indicates that the PCM
has detected an ETC system malfunction or that the ETC system is ineffective. The PCM will store
a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for any malfunction it detects. Each time the ETC indicator fails
to illuminate due to an open or short in the cluster ETC indicator circuit, the cluster sends a
message notifying the PCM of the condition, then the EMIC and the PCM will each store a DTC.
For proper diagnosis of the ETC system, the PCM, the EMIC, the CAN data bus or the electronic
communication related to ETC indicator operation a diagnostic scan tool is required. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.

Fog/Driving Lamp Indicator: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
A fog lamp indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. However, on vehicles not
equipped with optional fog lamps, this indicator is electronically disabled. This indicator is located
within the odometer/trip odometer Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) unit.
The fog lamp indicator consists of the International Control and Display Symbol icon for Front Fog
Light in the lower left corner of the VFD unit. The VFD unit is soldered onto the instrument cluster
electronic circuit board, and is visible through a window with a smoked clear lens located on the
lower edge of the speedometer gauge dial face of the cluster overlay. The dark lens over the VFD
prevents the icon from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated. The fog lamp indicator icon
appears in a blue-green color and at the same lighting level as the odometer information when it is
illuminated by the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
During daylight hours (exterior lamps are OFF) the VFD unit is illuminated at full brightness for
clear visibility. At night (exterior lamps are ON), the VFD unit lighting level is adjusted with the other
cluster illumination lamps using the panel lamps dimmer function of the interior lighting thumbwheel
on the headlamp switch. However, a PARADE mode position of the thumbwheel allows the VFD
unit to be illuminated at full brightness if the exterior lamps are turned ON during daylight hours.
The fog lamp indicator is serviced as a unit with the VFD unit in the instrument cluster.

Fog/Driving Lamp Indicator: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The fog lamp indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator whenever the optional fog lamps
are illuminated. This indicator is controlled by the instrument cluster circuit board based upon
cluster programming and electronic messages received by the cluster from the Totally Integrated
Power Module (TIPM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The fog lamp indicator is completely controlled by the instrument cluster logic circuit, and that logic
will only allow this indicator to operate when the instrument cluster receives a battery current input
on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the indicator will always be OFF
when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The indicator only illuminates
when it is energized by the instrument cluster logic circuit. The instrument cluster will turn ON the
fog lamp indicator for the following reasons:
- Fog Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic fog indicator
lamp-ON message from the TIPM indicating the fog lamp circuit is energized, the fog lamp indicator
will be illuminated. The indicator remains illuminated until the cluster receives a lamp-OFF
message from the TIPM, until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position or until the exterior
lamp load shedding (battery saver) timed interval expires, whichever occurs first.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the fog lamp indicator will be
turned ON, then OFF again during the VFD portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the
VFD and the cluster control circuitry.
The TIPM continually monitors electronic exterior lighting switch status messages from the
ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN) to
determine the appropriate outputs to the fog lamps. The TIPM activates or deactivates the fog lamp
circuit then sends the proper lamp-ON or lamp-OFF message back to the EMIC. For further
diagnosis of the fog lamp indicator or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the indicator,
Refer to appropriate testing.
For proper diagnosis of the fog lamp system, the TIPM, the EMIC, the CAN data bus or the
electronic communication related to fog lamp indicator operation a diagnostic scan tool is required.
Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

the LED and the cluster control circuitry.
The TIPM continually monitors the electronic transfer case through the transfer case shift
motor/mode sensor assembly or the manual transfer case through the transfer case switch to
determine when the 4WD mode is engaged. The TIPM then sends the proper lamp-ON or
lamp-OFF message to the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab
Compartment Node/CCN). For further diagnosis of the 4WD indicator or the instrument cluster
circuitry that controls the LED, Refer to appropriate testing.
For proper diagnosis of the transfer case shift motor/mode sensor, the transfer case switch, the
TIPM, the EMIC, the CAN data bus or the electronic communication related to 4WD indicator
operation a diagnostic scan tool is required. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
4 Low Indicator
4 LOW INDICATOR
The 4 low indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the electronic transfer case has
been shifted into the 4WD low mode. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument
cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received by the
cluster from

the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The 4 low indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument cluster
logic circuit, and that logic will only allow this indicator to operate when the instrument cluster
receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the
LED will always be OFF when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED
only illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The
instrument cluster will turn ON the 4 low indicator for the following reasons:
- 4 Low Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic 4 low indicator
lamp-ON message from the TIPM, the indicator will be illuminated. The indicator remains
illuminated until the cluster receives a lamp-OFF message from the TIPM, or until the ignition
switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the 4 low indicator will be
turned ON, then OFF again during the LED portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the
LED and the cluster control circuitry.
The TIPM continually monitors the electronic transfer case through the transfer case shift
motor/mode sensor assembly to determine when the 4WD low mode is engaged. The TIPM then
sends the proper lamp-ON or lamp-OFF message to the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster
(EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN). For further diagnosis of the 4 low
indicator or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the LED, Refer to appropriate testing.
For proper diagnosis of the transfer case shift motor/mode sensor, the TIPM, the EMIC, the CAN

Fuel Filler Cap Warning Indicator: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
A gas cap indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. However, on vehicles
equipped with the optional diesel engine, this indicator is electronically disabled. The gas cap
indication appears within the odometer Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) unit. The gas cap
indicator consists of a textual gASCAP message which appears in place of the odometer/trip
odometer information in the display.
The odometer VFD is soldered onto the cluster electronic circuit board, and is visible through a
window with a smoked clear lens located on the lower edge of the speedometer gauge dial face of
the cluster overlay. The dark lens over the VFD prevents it from being clearly visible when it is not
illuminated. The gas cap textual message appears in the same blue-green color and at the same
lighting level as the odometer/trip odometer information when it is illuminated by the instrument
cluster electronic circuit board.
The gas cap indicator is serviced as a unit with the VFD in the instrument cluster.

Fuel Filler Cap Warning Indicator: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The gas cap indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when there is a gross leak
detected in the on-board fuel vapor recovery system. This indicator is controlled by the instrument
cluster logic circuit based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received over the
Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
The gas cap indicator function of the odometer Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) unit is
completely controlled by the instrument cluster logic circuit, and that logic will only allow this
indicator to operate when the instrument cluster receives a battery current input on the fused
ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the VFD gas cap indication will always be OFF
when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The instrument cluster will turn ON
the gas cap indicator for the following reasons:
- Gas Cap Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic gas cap
indicator lamp-ON message from the PCM indicating there is a gross leak in the vapor recovery
system, the gas cap indicator will be illuminated. If the ignition switch is in the ON position and the
vehicle is not moving when the message is received, the VFD will repeatedly and sequentially cycle
the gas cap indication in two second intervals with the odometer/trip odometer information and any
other active textual warnings. If the vehicle is moving, or once the cluster of a non-moving vehicle
receives an electronic vehicle speed message from the PCM indicating a speed greater than zero,
the warning sequence will consist of three complete display cycles with an audible single chime
tone accompanying each cycle, then revert to only the visual gas cap indication and odometer/trip
odometer display cycling until the cluster receives a message indicating there is no gross leak in
the vapor recovery system, or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever
occurs first. The VFD can be reverted to the odometer display and any currently displayed textual
messages suspended by momentarily depressing and releasing the odometer/trip odometer reset
switch button on the front of the cluster.
The PCM continually monitors the on board vapor recovery system to determine whether there are
air leaks in the system. The PCM then sends the proper electronic messages to the
ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN). If
the EMIC turns ON the gas cap indicator due to a monitored gross leak in the vapor recovery
system, it may indicate that the gas cap has been removed or is improperly installed.
For proper diagnosis of the on board vapor recovery system, the PCM, the EMIC, the CAN data
bus or the electronic communication related to gas cap indicator operation a diagnostic scan tool is
required. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
All switches, components, and modules are shown in the at rest position with the doors closed and
the key removed from the ignition.
Components are shown two ways. A solid line around a component indicates that the component is
complete. A dashed line around the component indicates that the component is being shown is not
complete. Incomplete components have a reference number to indicate the page where the
component is shown complete.
It is important to realize that no attempt is made on the diagrams to represent components and
wiring as they appear on the vehicle. For example, a short piece of wire is treated the same as a
long one. In addition, switches and other components are shown as simply as possible, with regard
to function only.

Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- Ohmmeter - Used to check the resistance between two points of a circuit. Low or no resistance in
a circuit means good continuity.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking resistance in these circuits use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
In addition, make sure the power is disconnected from the circuit. Circuits that are powered up by
the vehicle's electrical system can cause damage to the equipment and provide false readings.

- Probing Tools - These tools are used for probing terminals in connectors. Select the proper size
tool from Special Tool Package 6807, and insert the probing end (2) into the terminal being tested.
Use the other end of the tool (1) to insert the meter probe.
INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent electrical problems are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. It is also
possible for a sticking component or relay to cause a problem. Before condemning a component or
wiring assembly, check the following items.
- Connectors are fully seated
- Spread terminals, or terminal push out
- Terminals in the wiring assembly are fully seated into the connector/component and locked into
position
- Dirt or corrosion on the terminals. Any amount of corrosion or dirt could cause an intermittent
problem
- Damaged connector/component casing exposing the item to dirt or moisture
- Wire insulation that has rubbed through causing a short to ground
- Some or all of the wiring strands broken inside of the insulation
- Wiring broken inside of the insulation
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are six steps which can aid in the procedure. The
steps are listed and explained below. Always check for non-factory items added to the vehicle
before doing any diagnosis. If the vehicle is equipped with these items, disconnect them to verify
these add-on items are not the cause of the problem.
1. Verify the problem. 2. Verify any related symptoms. Do this by performing operational checks on
components that are in the same circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams. 3. Analyze the symptoms.
Use the wiring diagrams to determine what the circuit is doing, where the problem most likely is
occurring and where the
diagnosis will continue.
4. Isolate the problem area. 5. Repair the problem area. 6. Verify the proper operation. For this
step, check for proper operation of all items on the repaired circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams.

Fuel Gauge: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
A fuel gauge is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. This gauge is located in the lower
left quadrant of the instrument cluster, below the voltage gauge. This gauge consists of a movable
gauge needle or pointer controlled by the instrument cluster circuitry and a fixed 90 degree scale
on the cluster overlay that reads left-to-right from E (or Empty) to F (or Full).
An International Control and Display Symbol icon for Fuel is located on the cluster overlay, directly
below the right end of the gauge scale. An arrowhead pointed to the left side of the vehicle is
imprinted on the cluster overlay next to the Fuel icon on the gauge to provide the driver with a
reminder as to the location of the fuel filler access. On vehicles equipped with a diesel engine, text
that specifies DIESEL ONLY is located across the fuel gauge below the gauge scale, but above the
hub of the gauge needle.
The fuel gauge graphics are black against a white field except for a single red graduation at the low
end of the gauge scale making them clearly visible within the instrument cluster in daylight. When
illuminated from behind by the panel lamps dimmer controlled cluster general illumination lighting
with the exterior lamps turned ON, the black gauge graphics appear blue-green and the red
graphics still appear red. The gauge needle has internal optical illumination. Gauge illumination is
provided by replaceable incandescent bulb and holder units located on the instrument cluster
electronic circuit board.
The fuel gauge is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Fuel Gauge: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The fuel gauge gives an indication to the vehicle operator of the level of fuel in the fuel tank. This
gauge is controlled by the instrument cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming and a
hard wired input received by the cluster from the fuel level sending unit on the fuel pump module in
the fuel tank.
The fuel gauge is an air core magnetic unit that receives battery current on the instrument cluster
electronic circuit board through the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit whenever the
ignition switch is in the ON or START positions. The cluster is programmed to move the gauge
needle back to the low end of the scale after the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position. The
instrument cluster circuitry controls the gauge needle position and provides the following features:
- Fuel Level Sending Unit Input - The cluster provides a constant current source to the fuel level
sending unit and monitors a return input on a fuel level sense circuit. The resistance through the
fuel level sending unit increases as the fuel level falls and decreases as the fuel level rises causing
changes in the fuel level sense input voltage. The cluster programming applies an algorithm to
calculate the proper fuel gauge needle position based upon the fuel level sense input, then moves
the gauge needle to the proper relative position on the gauge scale. This algorithm is used to
dampen gauge needle movement against the negative effect that fuel sloshing within the fuel tank
can have on accurate inputs from the fuel tank sending unit to the cluster.
- Less Than 15 Percent Tank Full Input - Each time the fuel level sense input to the cluster
indicates the fuel tank is about 15 percent full or less for 10 consecutive seconds and the vehicle
speed is zero, or for 60 consecutive seconds and the vehicle speed is greater than zero, the gauge
needle is moved to about the one-sixteenth graduation on the gauge scale, the low fuel indicator is
illuminated, and a single chime tone is sounded. The low fuel indicator remains illuminated until the
fuel level sense input is greater than about 15 percent full for 10 consecutive seconds and the
vehicle speed is zero, or for 60 consecutive seconds and the vehicle speed is greater than zero, or
until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first. The chime tone feature
will only repeat during the same ignition cycle if the low fuel indicator is cycled OFF and then ON
again by the appropriate inputs from the fuel level sending unit.
- Less Than Empty Stop Input - Each time the cluster receives a fuel level sense input that
indicates the fuel level in the fuel tank is less than the EMPTY gauge needle stop position, the
gauge needle is moved to the low end of the gauge scale and the low fuel indicator is illuminated
immediately. This input would indicate that the fuel level sense input to the cluster is a short circuit.
- More Than Full Stop Input - Each time the cluster receives a fuel level sense input that indicates
the fuel level in the fuel tank is more than the FULL gauge needle stop position, the gauge needle
is moved to the low end of the gauge scale and the low fuel indicator is illuminated immediately.
This input would indicate that the fuel level sense input to the cluster is an open circuit.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the fuel gauge needle will be
swept to several calibration points on the gauge scale in a prescribed sequence in order to confirm
the functionality of the gauge and the cluster control circuitry.
The ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment
Node/CCN) continually monitors the fuel tank sending unit to determine the level of fuel in the fuel
tank. The EMIC then sends the proper electronic fuel level message to other electronic modules in
the vehicle over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus. For further diagnosis of the fuel
gauge or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the gauge, Refer to appropriate testing.
For proper diagnosis of the fuel tank sending unit, the EMIC, the CAN data bus or the electronic
communication related to fuel gauge operation or fuel level data processing a diagnostic scan tool
is required. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Low Fuel Lamp/Indicator: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
A low fuel indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. This indicator is located on the
left side of the instrument cluster, to the left of the fuel gauge.
The low fuel indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the International Control and Display
Symbol icon for Fuel in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of
the overlay prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated. An amber
Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the overlay causes the
indicator to appear in amber through the translucent outer layer of the overlay when it is illuminated
from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board. The
low fuel indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Low Fuel Lamp/Indicator: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The low fuel indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the level of fuel in the fuel
tank becomes low. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument cluster circuit board
based upon cluster programming and a hard wired input received by the cluster from the fuel level
sending unit on the fuel pump module in the fuel tank.
The low fuel indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument cluster
logic circuit, and that logic will only allow this indicator to operate when the instrument cluster
receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the
LED will always be OFF when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED
only illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The
instrument cluster will turn ON the low fuel indicator for the following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position the low fuel indicator is
illuminated for about two seconds as a bulb test.
- Less Than 15 Percent Tank Full Input - The cluster provides a constant current source to the fuel
level sending unit and monitors a return input on a fuel level sense circuit. The resistance through
the fuel level sending unit increases as the fuel level falls and decreases as the fuel level rises
causing changes in the sense input voltage. Each time the fuel level sense input to the cluster
indicates the fuel tank is about 15 percent full or less for 10 consecutive seconds and the vehicle
speed is zero, or for 60 consecutive seconds and the vehicle speed is greater than zero, the fuel
gauge needle is moved to about the one-sixteenth graduation on the gauge scale, the low fuel
indicator is illuminated, and a single chime tone is sounded. The low fuel indicator remains
illuminated until the fuel level sense input indicates that the fuel tank is greater than about 15
percent full for 10 consecutive seconds and the vehicle speed is zero, or for 60 consecutive
seconds and the vehicle speed is greater than zero, or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF
position, whichever occurs first. The chime tone feature will only repeat during the same ignition
cycle if the low fuel indicator is cycled OFF and then ON again by the appropriate inputs from the
fuel level sending unit.
- Less Than Empty Stop Input - Each time the cluster receives a fuel level sense input that
indicates the fuel level in the fuel tank is less than the E (or Empty) gauge needle stop position, the
gauge needle is moved to the low end of the gauge scale and the low fuel indicator is illuminated
immediately. This input would indicate that the fuel level sense input to the cluster is a short circuit.
- More Than Full Stop Input - Each time the cluster receives a fuel level sense input that indicates
the fuel level in the fuel tank is more than the F (or Full) gauge needle stop position, the gauge
needle is moved to the low end of the gauge scale and the low fuel indicator is illuminated
immediately. This input would indicate that the fuel level sense input to the cluster is an open
circuit.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the low fuel indicator will be
turned ON, then OFF again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of
the LED and the cluster control circuitry.
The ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment
Node/CCN) continually monitors the fuel tank sending unit to determine the level of fuel in the fuel
tank. The EMIC then sends the proper electronic fuel level message to other electronic modules in
the vehicle over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus. For further diagnosis of the low fuel
indicator or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the LED, Refer to appropriate testing.
For proper diagnosis of the fuel tank sending unit, the EMIC, the CAN data bus or the electronic
communication related to low fuel indicator operation or fuel level data processing a diagnostic
scan tool is required. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Low Tire Pressure Indicator: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
A Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. However,
on vehicles not equipped with the optional TPM, this indicator is electronically disabled. This
indicator is located in the lower portion of the tachometer dial face in the instrument cluster overlay.
The TPM indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of an icon that represents a cross-section of a
tire with a centered exclamation point in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster overlay. The
dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not
illuminated. An amber Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the
overlay causes the indicator to appear in amber through the translucent outer layer of the overlay
when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the instrument cluster
electronic circuit board.
The TPM indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Low Tire Pressure Indicator: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator of the status
of the TPM system. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument cluster circuit
board based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received by the cluster from the
Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The TPM indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument cluster
logic circuit, and that logic will only allow this indicator to operate when the instrument cluster
receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the
LED will always be OFF when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED
only illuminates when it is provide a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The
instrument cluster will turn ON the TPM indicator for the following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, the SKREEM sends an
electronic TPM indicator lamp-ON message to the cluster to illuminate the TPM indicator for about
three seconds as a bulb test.
- TPM Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic TPM indicator
lamp-ON message from the SKREEM, the TPM indicator will be illuminated. The indicator can be
flashed ON and OFF, or illuminated solid, as dictated by the SKREEM message. The indicator
remains illuminated until the cluster receives a lamp-OFF message from the SKREEM or until the
ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Communication Error - If the cluster receives no TPM lamp-ON or lamp-OFF messages from the
SKREEM for six consecutive seconds, the TPM indicator is illuminated by the instrument cluster.
The indicator remains controlled and illuminated by the cluster until a valid lamp-ON or lamp-OFF
message is received from the SKREEM.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the TPM indicator will be
turned ON, then OFF again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of
the LED and the cluster control circuitry.
The SKREEM performs a self-test each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position to
decide whether the TPM system is in good operating condition and whether the tire inflation
pressures are too high or too low. The SKREEM then sends the proper lamp-ON or lamp-OFF
message to the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab
Compartment Node/CCN). If the instrument cluster turns ON the TPM indicator after the bulb test, it
indicates that the inflation pressure of a tire is too low or that a malfunction has occurred and the
TPM system is ineffective.
For proper diagnosis of the TPM system, the SKREEM, the EMIC, the CAN data bus or the
electronic communication related to TPM indicator operation a diagnostic scan tool is required.
Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Malfunction Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
A Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. This indicator
is located near the lower edge of the instrument cluster, between the tachometer and the

The MIL consists of a stencil-like cutout of the International Control and Display Symbol icon for
Engine in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay
prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated. An amber Light Emitting
Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the overlay causes the indicator to appear in

Malfunction Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) on vehicles with a gasoline engine, or the Engine Control
Module (ECM) on vehicles with a diesel engine has recorded a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for
an On-Board Diagnostics II (OBDII) emissions-related circuit or component malfunction. The MIL is
controlled by a transistor on the instrument cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming
and electronic messages received by the cluster from the PCM or ECM over the Controller Area
Network (CAN) data bus.
The MIL Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument cluster logic circuit,
and that logic will only allow this indicator to operate when the instrument cluster receives a battery
current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the LED will always be
OFF when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED only illuminates
when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The instrument cluster will
turn ON the MIL for the following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position the indicator is illuminated
for about two seconds as a bulb test. The entire bulb test is a function of the PCM or ECM.
- MIL Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic MIL lamp-ON message
from the PCM or ECM, the indicator will be illuminated. The indicator can be flashed ON and OFF,
or illuminated solid, as dictated by the PCM or ECM message. For some DTCs, if a problem does
not recur, the PCM or ECM will send a lamp-OFF message automatically. Other DTCs may require
that a fault be repaired and the PCM or ECM be reset before a lamp-OFF message will be sent.
- Communication Error - If the cluster receives no lamp-ON or lamp-OFF messages from the PCM
or ECM for about 10 seconds, the MIL is illuminated by the instrument cluster to indicate a loss of
bus communication. The indicator remains controlled and illuminated by the cluster until a valid
message is received from the PCM or ECM.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the MIL indicator will be
turned ON during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the LED and the
cluster control circuitry.
The PCM or ECM continually monitors the fuel and emissions system circuits and sensors to
decide whether the system is in good operating condition. The PCM or ECM then sends the proper
lamp-ON or lamp-OFF message to the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known
as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN). If the EMIC turns ON the MIL after the bulb test, it may
indicate that a malfunction has occurred and that the fuel and emissions systems may require
service.
For proper diagnosis of the fuel and emissions systems, the PCM, the ECM, the EMIC, the CAN
data bus or the electronic communication related to MIL operation a diagnostic scan tool is
required.

The service 4WD indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument
cluster logic circuit, and that logic will only allow this indicator to operate when the instrument
cluster receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit.
Therefore, the LED will always be OFF when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or
START. The LED only illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster
transistor. The instrument cluster will turn ON the service 4WD indicator for the following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position the service 4WD indicator is
illuminated for about two seconds as a bulb test.
- Service 4WD Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic service
4WD indicator lamp-ON message from the TIPM, the service 4WD indicator will be illuminated. The
indicator remains illuminated until the cluster receives a lamp-OFF message from the TIPM, or until
the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Communication Error - If the cluster receives no lamp-ON or lamp-OFF messages from the TIPM
for 10 seconds the service 4WD indicator is illuminated by the cluster to indicate a loss of TIPM
communication. The indicator remains controlled and illuminated by the cluster until a valid
message is received from the TIPM.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the service 4WD indicator
will be turned ON, then OFF again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the
functionality of the LED and the cluster control circuitry.
The TIPM continually monitors the electronic transfer case control circuits and transfer case shift
motor/mode sensor assembly to determine the condition of the system. The TIPM then sends the
proper lamp-ON or lamp-OFF message to the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also
known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN). For further diagnosis of the service 4WD indicator or
the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the LED, Refer to appropriate testing.
For proper diagnosis of the TIPM, the EMIC, the CAN data bus or the electronic communication
related to service 4WD indicator operation a diagnostic scan tool is required. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.

Odometer: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
An odometer and trip odometer are standard factory-installed equipment in all instrument clusters.
The odometer, trip odometer, and engine hours information are displayed in a common electronic,
blue-green Vacuum-Fluorescent Display (VFD) unit. This VFD unit is soldered onto the cluster
electronic circuit board and is visible through a window with a smoked lens located on the lower
edge of the speedometer gauge dial face of the cluster overlay. The dark lens over the VFD
prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated.
The odometer, trip odometer, and engine hours information are not displayed simultaneously. The
trip odometer reset switch on the instrument cluster circuit board toggles the display between
odometer and trip odometer modes by depressing the odometer/trip odometer switch button that
extends through the lower edge of the cluster lens, just left of the tachometer. When the trip
odometer information is displayed, the word TRIP is also illuminated in the lower right corner of the
VFD in a blue-green color and at the same lighting level as the trip odometer information. The
engine hours information replaces the selected odometer or trip odometer information whenever
the ignition switch is in the ON position and the engine is not running.
The odometer, trip odometer, and engine hours information is stored in the instrument cluster
memory. This information can be increased when the proper inputs are provided to the instrument
cluster, but the information cannot be decreased. The odometer can display values up to 999,999
kilometers (999,999 miles). The odometer latches at these values, and will not roll over to zero.
The trip odometer can display values up to 999.9 kilometers (999.9 miles) before it rolls over to
zero. Engine hours are displayed in the format, hr9999. The cluster will accumulate values up to
9,999 hours before the display rolls over to zero.
The odometer display does not have a decimal point and will not show values less than a full unit
(kilometer or mile), while the trip odometer display does have a decimal point and will show tenths
of a unit (kilometer or mile). The unit of measure (kilometers or miles) for the odometer and trip
odometer display is not shown in the VFD. The unit of measure for the instrument cluster
odometer/trip odometer is selected at the time that it is manufactured, and cannot be changed. The
odometer also has a RENTAL CAR mode, which will illuminate the odometer information in the
VFD whenever the driver side front door is opened with the ignition switch in the OFF or
ACCESSORY positions.
During daylight hours (exterior lamps are OFF) the odometer VFD is illuminated at full brightness
for clear visibility. At night (exterior lamps are ON), the VFD lighting level is adjusted with the other
cluster general illumination lamps using the panel lamps dimmer thumbwheel on the headlamp
switch. However, a PARADE mode position of the panel lamps dimmer thumbwheel allows the
VFD to be illuminated at full brightness if the exterior lamps are turned ON during daylight hours.
The odometer/trip odometer VFD, the trip odometer switch, and the trip odometer switch button are
serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Odometer: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The odometer and trip odometer give an indication to the vehicle operator of the distance the
vehicle has traveled. The engine hours give an indication of the cumulative engine-ON time. This
indicator is controlled by the instrument cluster circuitry based upon cluster programming and
electronic messages received by the cluster from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) or Engine
Control Module (ECM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The odometer, trip odometer and engine hours information are displayed by the instrument cluster
Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD). The VFD will display the odometer information whenever the
driver side front door is opened with the ignition switch in the OFF or ACCESSORY positions, and
will display the last previously selected odometer or trip odometer information when the ignition
switch is turned to the ON or START positions. The instrument cluster circuitry controls the VFD
and provides the following features:
- Odometer/Trip Odometer Display Toggling - Actuating the trip odometer reset switch button
momentarily with the VFD illuminated will toggle the display between the odometer and trip
odometer information. Each time the VFD is illuminated with the ignition switch in the ON or START
positions, the display will automatically return to the last mode previously selected (odometer or trip
odometer).
- Engine Hours Display Toggling - When the trip odometer reset switch button is pressed and held
for longer than about six seconds with the ignition switch in the ON position and the engine speed
message from the PCM is zero, the trip odometer information will be momentarily displayed, then
the engine hours information will be displayed. The VFD must be displaying the odometer
information when the trip odometer reset switch button is pressed in order to toggle to the engine
hours display. The engine hours will remain displayed for about 30 seconds, until the engine speed
message is greater than zero, or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever
occurs first.
- Trip Odometer Reset - When the trip odometer reset switch button is pressed and held for longer
than about two seconds with the ignition switch in the ON or START position, the trip odometer will
be reset to 0.0 kilometers (miles). The VFD must be displaying the trip odometer information in
order for the trip odometer information to be reset.
- GASCAP Message Display - On vehicles manufactured with a United States country code, each
time the cluster receives an electronic message from the PCM indicating a monitored leak in the
evaporative emissions system, the cluster replaces the displayed odometer/trip odometer value
with the textual message, GASCAP. This message serves as a reminder to the vehicle operator to
check that the gas cap is properly installed and tightened, but could also indicate another source of
air leakage in the on-board evaporative and vapor recovery emissions systems. Unless the leak is
corrected, this message will latch and remain displayed during the current and each subsequent
ignition cycle until the trip odometer reset button is pressed and released momentarily, which will
revert the display to the odometer/trip odometer information that was last displayed for the
remainder of that ignition cycle. Once the source of a leak has been corrected, either momentarily
pressing the trip odometer reset button or cycling the ignition switch will unlatch the message and
return the odometer/trip odometer to normal operation.
- Communication Error - If the cluster fails to receive an electronic distance message during normal
operation, it will hold and display the last data received until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF
position. If the cluster does not receive a distance message within one second after the ignition
switch is turned to the ON position, it will display the last distance value stored in the cluster
memory. If the cluster is unable to display distance information due to an error internal to the
cluster, the VFD will display Error.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the odometer VFD will
display all of its segments simultaneously, then step through each character segment individually
during the VFD portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the VFD and the cluster control
circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the vehicle speed pulse information received from the Vehicle
Speed Sensor (VSS) or the Controller Anti-lock Brake (CAB) and engine speed pulse information
received from the crankshaft position sensor, then sends the proper messages to the
ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN).
For further diagnosis of the odometer/trip odometer or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls
these functions, Refer to appropriate testing.
For proper diagnosis of the VSS, the crankshaft position sensor, the CAB, the PCM, the EMIC, the
CAN data bus or the electronic communication related to odometer/trip odometer operation a
diagnostic scan tool is required. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Oil Change Reminder Lamp: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
A change oil indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. However, on vehicles
manufactured for export markets or vehicles equipped with the optional diesel engine, this indicator
is electronically disabled. The change oil indication appears within the odometer Vacuum
Fluorescent Display (VFD) unit. The change oil indicator consists of cycling textual CHAngE and
OIL messages which appear in place of the odometer information in the odometer display.
The odometer VFD is soldered onto the cluster electronic circuit board, and is visible through a
window with a smoked clear lens located on the lower edge of the speedometer gauge dial face of
the cluster overlay. The dark lens over the VFD prevents it from being clearly visible when it is not
illuminated. The change oil textual messages appear in the same blue-green color and at the same
lighting level as the odometer information when they are illuminated by the instrument cluster
electronic circuit board.
The change oil indicator is serviced as a unit with the VFD in the instrument cluster.

Oil Change Reminder Lamp: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The change oil indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when a duty-cycle algorithm
contained within the software of the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) determines that a
recommended oil change interval has been attained. This indicator is controlled by the instrument
cluster logic circuit based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received over the
Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus from the PCM.
The change oil indicator function of the odometer Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) unit is
completely controlled by the instrument cluster logic circuit, and that logic will only allow this
indicator to operate when the instrument cluster receives a battery current input on the fused
ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the odometer VFD change oil indication will
always be OFF when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The instrument
cluster will turn ON the change oil indicator for the following reasons:
- Change Oil Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON
position and the cluster receives an electronic change oil indicator lamp-ON message from the
PCM indicating that a duty-cycle based recommended oil change interval has been attained, the
change oil indicator will be illuminated for about three seconds, until the trip odometer reset switch
button is depressed, or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Change Oil Indicator Reset Procedure - Once an engine oil change has been completed, the
PCM duty cycle counters can be reset using the following procedure. Turn the ignition switch to the
ON position, but DO NOT start the engine. Slowly depress and release the accelerator pedal fully
three times within ten seconds. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position. If the change oil
indicator illuminates the next time the engine is started, repeat this procedure.
The PCM continually monitors numerous sensor inputs to determine the duty-cycles to which the
engine is being subjected. A pre-programmed algorithm within the PCM then determines when to
send the proper lamp-ON or lamp-OFF message to the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster
(EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN).
For proper diagnosis of the change oil indicator, the PCM, the EMIC, the CAN data bus or the
electronic communication related to change oil indicator operation a diagnostic scan tool is
required. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Oil Pressure Gauge: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
An oil pressure gauge is standard equipment on all instrument clusters except for ST vehicles with
a gasoline engine. This gauge is located in the upper right quadrant of the instrument cluster,
above the coolant temperature gauge. This gauge consists of a movable gauge needle or pointer
controlled by the instrument cluster circuitry and a fixed 90 degree scale on the cluster overlay that
reads left-to-right from L (or Low) to H (or High) for gasoline engines. On vehicles with a diesel
engine the scale reads from 0 kPa to 760 kPa in markets where a metric instrument cluster is
specified, or from 0 psi to 110 psi in all other markets.
An International Control and Display Symbol icon for Engine Oil is located on the cluster overlay,
directly below the left end of the gauge scale. The oil pressure gauge graphics are black against a
white field except for a single red graduation at the low end of the gauge scale making them clearly
visible within the instrument cluster in daylight. When illuminated from behind by the panel lamps
dimmer controlled cluster general illumination lighting with the exterior lamps turned ON, the black
graphics appear blue-green and the red graphics still appear red. The gauge needle has internal
optical illumination. Gauge illumination is provided by replaceable incandescent bulb and holder
units located on the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
The oil pressure gauge is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Oil Pressure Gauge: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The oil pressure gauge gives an indication to the vehicle operator of the engine oil pressure. This
gauge is controlled by the instrument cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming and
electronic messages received by the cluster from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) on vehicles
with a gasoline engine, or from the Engine Control Module (ECM) on vehicles equipped with a
diesel engine over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The oil pressure gauge is an air core magnetic unit that receives battery current on the instrument
cluster electronic circuit board through the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit whenever
the ignition switch is in the ON or START positions. The cluster is programmed to move the gauge
needle back to the low end of the scale after the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position. The
instrument cluster circuitry controls the gauge needle position and provides the following features:
- Engine Oil Pressure Message - The instrument cluster circuitry restricts the oil pressure gauge
needle operation in order to provide readings that are consistent with customer expectations. Each
time the cluster receives an electronic engine oil pressure message from the PCM or ECM
indicating the pressure is above about 41 kPa (6 psi) the cluster holds the gauge needle at a point
near the middle increment within the normal range on the gauge scale.
Engine Oil Pressure Low Message - Each time the cluster receives three consecutive electronic
engine oil pressure messages from the PCM or ECM indicating the pressure is below about 41 kPa
(6 psi), the gauge needle is moved to the red graduation at the far left end of the gauge scale, the
check gauges indicator is illuminated, and a single chime tone is generated. The gauge needle
remains at the left end of the gauge scale and the check gauges indicator remains illuminated until
the cluster receives a message from the PCM or ECM indicating that the pressure is above about
41 kPa (6 psi), or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first. The
cluster will only turn ON the check gauges indicator in response to a low pressure message if the
engine speed is greater than zero.
- Communication Error - If the cluster fails to receive an engine oil pressure message, it will hold
the gauge needle at the last indication for about 10 seconds, or until the ignition switch is turned to
the OFF position, whichever occurs first. After 10 seconds, the cluster will move the gauge needle
to the low end of the gauge scale.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the oil pressure gauge
needle will be swept to several calibration points on the gauge scale in a prescribed sequence in
order to confirm the functionality of the gauge and the cluster control circuitry.
The PCM (gasoline engines) or ECM (diesel engines) continually monitors the engine oil pressure
sensor to determine the engine oil pressure. The PCM or ECM then sends the proper messages to
the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment
Node/CCN). If the instrument cluster turns ON the check gauges indicator due to a low oil pressure
gauge reading, it may indicate that the engine or the engine oiling system requires service.
For proper diagnosis of the engine oil pressure sensor, the PCM, the ECM, the EMIC, the CAN
data bus or the electronic communication related to oil pressure gauge operation a diagnostic scan
tool is required.

Oil Pressure Warning Lamp/Indicator: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
A low oil pressure indicator is standard equipment only in the four-gauge instrument clusters of all
ST vehicles with a gasoline engine. This indicator is located on the left side of the instrument
cluster, to the left of the fuel gauge.
The low oil pressure indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the International Control and
Display Symbol icon for Engine Oil in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster overlay. The dark
outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated.
A red Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the overlay causes the
icon to appear in red through the translucent outer layer of the overlay when it is illuminated from
behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
The low oil pressure indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Oil Pressure Warning Lamp/Indicator: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The low oil pressure indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the engine oil
pressure reading reflects a condition requiring immediate attention. This indicator is controlled by a
transistor on the instrument cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming and electronic
messages received by the cluster from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) over the Controller
Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The low oil pressure indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument
cluster logic circuit, and that logic will only allow this indicator to operate when the instrument
cluster receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit.
Therefore, the LED will always be OFF when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or
START. The LED only illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster
transistor. The instrument cluster will turn ON the low oil pressure indicator for the following
reasons:
- Engine Oil Pressure Low Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic engine oil
pressure message from the PCM indicating the pressure is about 6.9 kPa (1 psi) or lower, the low
oil pressure indicator will be illuminated. The indicator remains illuminated until the cluster receives
a message from the PCM indicating that the pressure is above about 6.9 kPa (1 psi), or until the
ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first. The cluster will only turn the
indicator ON in response to low engine oil pressure if the engine speed is greater than zero.
Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the low oil pressure indicator
will be turned ON, then OFF again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the
functionality of the LED and the cluster control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the engine oil pressure sensor to determine the engine oil pressure.
The PCM then sends the proper messages to the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC)
(also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN). For further diagnosis of the low oil pressure
indicator or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the LED, Refer to appropriate testing.
For proper diagnosis of the engine oil pressure sensor, the PCM, the EMIC, the CAN data bus or
the electronic communication related to low oil pressure indicator operation a diagnostic scan tool
is required. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

OPERATION
The ambient temperature sensor is a variable resistor that operates on a five-volt reference signal
sent by the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM). The resistance in the sensor changes as
temperature changes, changing the temperature sensor signal circuit voltage to the TIPM. Based
upon the resistance in the sensor, the TIPM senses a specific voltage on the temperature sensor
signal circuit. The TIPM then translates the voltage into a temperature reading that it sent over the
Programmable Communications Interface (PCI) data bus circuit to other modules utilizing
temperature information.

AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The temperature function is supported by the ambient temperature sensor, a wiring circuit, and the
Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM). When the sensor is exposed to temperatures above 60°
C (140° F), or if the sensor circuit is shorted, 60° C (130/140° F) will appear in the display in place
of the temperature. When the sensor is exposed to temperatures below - 40° C (- 40° F) or if the
sensor circuit is open, - 40° C (- 40° F) will appear in the display for Compass Mini - Trip Computer
(CMTC) equipped vehicles and - - ° C (- - ° F) will be displayed on Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC) equipped vehicles.
The ambient temperature sensor circuit can be diagnosed using the following Temperature System
Test, and Sensor Test. If the temperature sensor and circuit are confirmed to be OK, but the
temperature display is inoperative or incorrect, test the Compass Mini - Trip Computer (CMTC),
See: Compass/Testing and Inspection or Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC), See:
Driver/Vehicle Information Display/Testing and Inspection as applicable.
TEMPERATURE SYSTEM TEST
For complete circuit diagrams, refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wiring information
includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector repair procedures, details of wire harness
routing and retention, connector pin-out information and location views for the various wire harness
connectors, splices and grounds.
NOTE: Temperature readings do not update immediately. Allow up to 60 seconds after the ignition
switch is turned to the On position for readings to meet test specifications.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the Off position. Disconnect the wire harness connector from the
ambient temperature sensor. 2. Turn the ignition switch to the On position. The CMTC display
should now read - 40° C (- 40° F) or the EVIC display should now read - - ° C (- ° F). If OK, go to STEP 3. If not OK, repair the shorted sensor return circuit or ambient temperature
sensor signal circuit to the ambient temperature sensor as required.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the Off position. Taking care not to damage the wire terminals,
connect a jumper wire between the two terminals in the
body half of the ambient temperature sensor harness connector.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the On position. The CMTC or EVIC display should now read 60° C
(130/140° F). If OK, go to STEP 5. If not OK,
repair the open sensor return circuit or ambient temperature sensor signal circuit to the ambient
temperature sensor as required.
5. Clear any Diagnostic Trouble Codes that may have been set while performing the test. Perform
further diagnosis of the Compass Mini - Trip
Computer (CMTC), See: Compass/Testing and Inspection or Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC), See: Driver/Vehicle Information Display/Testing and Inspection as applicable.
SENSOR TEST
1. Turn the ignition switch to the Off position. Disconnect the ambient temperature sensor harness
connector. 2. Measure the resistance of the ambient temperature sensor. At - 40° C (- 40° F), the
sensor resistance is 336 Kohms. At 55° C (130° F), the sensor
resistance is 2.488 Kohms. The sensor resistance should read between these two values. If OK,
perform further diagnosis of the Compass Mini - Trip Computer (CMTC), See: Compass/Testing
and Inspection or Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC), See: Driver/Vehicle Information
Display/Testing and Inspection as applicable. If not OK, replace the inoperative ambient

Overdrive Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
An overdrive off indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. However, on vehicles
not equipped with an optional overdrive automatic transmission, this indicator is electronically
disabled. This indicator is located on the right side of the instrument cluster, to the right of the
coolant temperature gauge.
The overdrive off indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the text O/D OFF in the opaque layer
of the instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from
being clearly visible when it is not illuminated. An amber Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the
cutout in the opaque layer of the overlay causes the indicator to appear in amber through the
translucent outer layer of the overlay when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is
soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
When the exterior lighting is turned ON, the illumination intensity of the overdrive off indicator is
dimmable, which is adjusted along with the cluster general illumination lighting using the panel
lamps dimmer thumbwheel on the headlamp switch.
The overdrive off indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Overdrive Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The overdrive off indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the overdrive-OFF
position of the tow/haul switch has been selected, disabling the electronically controlled overdrive
feature of the automatic transmission. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument
cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received by the
cluster from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data
bus.
The overdrive off indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument

transistor. The instrument cluster will turn ON the overdrive off indicator for the following reasons:
- Overdrive Off Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic
overdrive off indicator lamp-ON message from the PCM indicating that the overdrive-OFF position
of the tow/haul switch has been selected, the indicator will be illuminated. The indicator remains
illuminated until the cluster receives a lamp-OFF message from the PCM, or until the ignition switch
is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the overdrive off indicator will
be turned ON, then OFF again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality
of the LED and the cluster control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the tow/haul switch to determine the proper outputs to the automatic
transmission. The PCM then sends the proper lamp-ON or lamp-OFF message to the
ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN).
For further diagnosis of the overdrive off indicator or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the
indicator, Refer to appropriate testing.
For proper diagnosis of the transmission control system, the PCM, the EMIC, the CAN data bus or

Parking Brake Warning Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The park brake switch is a normally closed, mechanically actuated leaf contact switch that is
operated by the park brake lever mechanism. The switch is grounded through its mounting to the
park brake lever mechanism and provides a ground input to the ElectroMechanical Instrument
Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN) on a park brake switch sense
circuit whenever the park brake is applied, and opens this circuit whenever the park brake is
released. The park brake switch sense input to the EMIC is used for control of the brake indicator
and may also be used as a logic input for other electronic features in the vehicle.
The park brake switch as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the switch may be diagnosed
using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.

PARK BRAKE SWITCH
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before attempting any steering wheel, steering column,
airbag, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service.
Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system
capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to
disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag
deployment.
NOTE: If the brake indicator stays ON with the ignition switch in the ON position and the park brake
released, or comes ON while driving, the brake system must be diagnosed and repaired prior to
performing the following tests. Refer to appropriate testing. If no brake system problem is found,
the following procedures will help to locate a shorted or open park brake switch sense circuit, or an
ineffective park brake switch.
INDICATOR ILLUMINATES DURING BULB TEST, BUT DOES NOT WHEN PARK BRAKE
APPLIED
1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable. Disconnect the body wire harness connector
for the park brake switch from the switch terminal.

Seat Belt Reminder Lamp: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
A seatbelt indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. The seatbelt indicator is
located near the upper edge of the instrument cluster, between the tachometer and the
speedometer.
The seatbelt indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the International Control and Display
Symbol icon for Seat Belt in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer
layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated. A red
Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the overlay causes the
indicator to appear in red through the translucent outer layer of the overlay when it is illuminated
from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
The seatbelt indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Seat Belt Reminder Lamp: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The seatbelt indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator of the status of the driver side front
seatbelt. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument cluster circuit board based
upon cluster programming and a hard wired input from the seatbelt switch in the driver side front
seatbelt buckle through the seat belt indicator driver circuit.
The seatbelt indicator also includes a programmable enhanced seatbelt reminder or BELTMINDER
feature that is enabled when the vehicle is shipped from the factory. This BELTMINDER feature
can be disabled and enabled by the customer using a specific programming event sequence, or by
the dealer using a diagnostic scan tool.
The seatbelt indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument cluster
logic circuit, and that logic will only allow this indicator to operate when the instrument cluster
receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the
LED will always be OFF when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED
only illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The
instrument cluster will turn ON the seatbelt indicator for the following reasons:
Seatbelt Reminder Function - Each time the cluster receives a battery current input on the fused
ignition switch output (run-start) circuit, the indicator will be illuminated as a seatbelt reminder for
about six seconds, or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
This reminder function will occur regardless of the status of the seatbelt switch input to the cluster.
- Driver Side Front Seatbelt Not Buckled - Beltminder Active - Following the seatbelt reminder
function, each time the cluster detects an open circuit on the seat belt indicator driver circuit
(seatbelt switch open = seatbelt unbuckled) with the ignition switch in the START or ON positions,
the indicator will be illuminated. In addition, if the driver side front seat belt remains unbuckled
about 60 seconds after the conclusion of the seatbelt reminder function with the vehicle speed
greater than about 8 kilometers-per-hour (5 miles-per-hour), the seatbelt indicator will begin to
cycle between flashing ON and OFF for 3 seconds, then lighting solid for 2 seconds. The seatbelt
indicator will continue to cycle between flashing and solid illumination for 13 complete cycles, until
the seat belt indicator driver input to the cluster is closed to ground (seatbelt switch closed =
seatbelt buckled), or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Driver Side Front Seatbelt Not Buckled - Beltminder Inactive - Following the seatbelt reminder
function, each time the cluster detects an open circuit on the seat belt indicator driver circuit
(seatbelt switch open = seatbelt unbuckled) with the ignition switch in the START or ON positions,
the indicator will be illuminated. The seatbelt indicator remains illuminated until the seat belt
indicator driver input to the cluster is closed to ground (seatbelt switch closed = seatbelt buckled),
or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Airbag Indicator Backup - If the instrument cluster detects a fault in the airbag indicator circuit it
will send an electronic message indicating the fault to the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC),
then flash the seatbelt indicator ON and OFF. The cluster will continue to flash the indicator until
the airbag indicator circuit fault is resolved, or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position,
whichever occurs first.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the seatbelt indicator will be
turned ON, then OFF again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of
the LED and the cluster control circuitry.
The seatbelt switch is connected in series between ground and the seat belt indicator driver input
to the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment
Node/CCN). The hard wired seatbelt switch input to the EMIC may be diagnosed using
conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.

Door Switch: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
This vehicle has up to four door ajar switches, one for each door. Each switch is concealed within
and integral to its respective door latch unit. The switches are momentary leaf contact-type units
that are actuated by the mechanisms internal to the door latch. A short pigtail wire and connector
on each door latch connects the door ajar switch to the vehicle electrical system through its
respective door wire harness.
The door ajar switches cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, the door latch
unit must be replaced. See: Body and Frame/Doors, Hood and Trunk/Doors/Front Door/Front Door

Door Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The door ajar switches are actuated by the mechanisms internal to the door latch. When a door is
closed and properly latched, its door ajar switch is an open circuit. When a door is open or only
partially latched, the door ajar switch is a closed circuit. The door ajar switches are hard wired in
series between a body ground and the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known
as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN).
The EMIC reads the hard wired door ajar switch inputs through internal pull-ups, then uses these
inputs to control many electronic functions and features of the vehicle. The EMIC also sends the
proper electronic door ajar switch status messages to other electronic modules in the vehicle over
the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The door ajar switches as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the switches may be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information.

Outside Temperature Display Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The ambient temperature sensor is a variable resistor that operates on a five-volt reference signal
sent by the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM). The resistance in the sensor changes as
temperature changes, changing the temperature sensor signal circuit voltage to the TIPM. Based
upon the resistance in the sensor, the TIPM senses a specific voltage on the temperature sensor
signal circuit. The TIPM then translates the voltage into a temperature reading that it sent over the
Programmable Communications Interface (PCI) data bus circuit to other modules utilizing
temperature information.

Outside Temperature Display Sensor: Testing and Inspection
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The temperature function is supported by the ambient temperature sensor, a wiring circuit, and the
Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM). When the sensor is exposed to temperatures above 60°
C (140° F), or if the sensor circuit is shorted, 60° C (130/140° F) will appear in the display in place
of the temperature. When the sensor is exposed to temperatures below - 40° C (- 40° F) or if the
sensor circuit is open, - 40° C (- 40° F) will appear in the display for Compass Mini - Trip Computer
(CMTC) equipped vehicles and - - ° C (- - ° F) will be displayed on Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC) equipped vehicles.
The ambient temperature sensor circuit can be diagnosed using the following Temperature System
Test, and Sensor Test. If the temperature sensor and circuit are confirmed to be OK, but the
temperature display is inoperative or incorrect, test the Compass Mini - Trip Computer (CMTC),
See: Compass/Testing and Inspection or Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC), See:
Driver/Vehicle Information Display/Testing and Inspection as applicable.
TEMPERATURE SYSTEM TEST
For complete circuit diagrams, refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wiring information
includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector repair procedures, details of wire harness
routing and retention, connector pin-out information and location views for the various wire harness
connectors, splices and grounds.
NOTE: Temperature readings do not update immediately. Allow up to 60 seconds after the ignition
switch is turned to the On position for readings to meet test specifications.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the Off position. Disconnect the wire harness connector from the
ambient temperature sensor. 2. Turn the ignition switch to the On position. The CMTC display
should now read - 40° C (- 40° F) or the EVIC display should now read - - ° C (- ° F). If OK, go to STEP 3. If not OK, repair the shorted sensor return circuit or ambient temperature
sensor signal circuit to the ambient temperature sensor as required.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the Off position. Taking care not to damage the wire terminals,
connect a jumper wire between the two terminals in the
body half of the ambient temperature sensor harness connector.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the On position. The CMTC or EVIC display should now read 60° C
(130/140° F). If OK, go to STEP 5. If not OK,
repair the open sensor return circuit or ambient temperature sensor signal circuit to the ambient
temperature sensor as required.
5. Clear any Diagnostic Trouble Codes that may have been set while performing the test. Perform
further diagnosis of the Compass Mini - Trip
Computer (CMTC), See: Compass/Testing and Inspection or Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC), See: Driver/Vehicle Information Display/Testing and Inspection as applicable.
SENSOR TEST
1. Turn the ignition switch to the Off position. Disconnect the ambient temperature sensor harness
connector. 2. Measure the resistance of the ambient temperature sensor. At - 40° C (- 40° F), the
sensor resistance is 336 Kohms. At 55° C (130° F), the sensor
resistance is 2.488 Kohms. The sensor resistance should read between these two values. If OK,
perform further diagnosis of the Compass Mini - Trip Computer (CMTC), See: Compass/Testing
and Inspection or Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC), See: Driver/Vehicle Information
Display/Testing and Inspection as applicable. If not OK, replace the inoperative ambient

Parking Brake Warning Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The park brake switch is a normally closed, mechanically actuated leaf contact switch that is
operated by the park brake lever mechanism. The switch is grounded through its mounting to the
park brake lever mechanism and provides a ground input to the ElectroMechanical Instrument
Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN) on a park brake switch sense
circuit whenever the park brake is applied, and opens this circuit whenever the park brake is
released. The park brake switch sense input to the EMIC is used for control of the brake indicator
and may also be used as a logic input for other electronic features in the vehicle.
The park brake switch as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the switch may be diagnosed
using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.

Speedometer Head: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
A speedometer is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. The speedometer is located next
to the tachometer, just to the right of center in the instrument cluster. The speedometer consists of
a movable gauge needle or pointer controlled by the instrument cluster circuitry and a fixed 210
degree primary scale on the gauge dial face.
The speedometer reads left-to-right either from 0 to 120 mph, or from 0 to 200 km/h, depending
upon the market for which the vehicle is manufactured. Each version also has a secondary inner
scale on the gauge dial face that provides the equivalent opposite units from the primary scale.
Text appearing on the cluster overlay just below the hub of the speedometer needle abbreviates
the unit of measure for the primary scale (either MPH or km/h ), followed by the unit of measure for
the secondary scale.
The speedometer graphics are black (primary scale) and blue (secondary scale) against a white
field making them clearly visible within the instrument cluster in daylight. When illuminated from
behind by the panel lamps dimmer controlled cluster general illumination lighting with the exterior
lamps turned ON, the black graphics appear blue-green and the blue graphics appear light blue.
The gauge needle has internal optical illumination. Gauge illumination is provided by replaceable
incandescent bulb and holder units located on the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
The speedometer is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Speedometer Head: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The speedometer gives an indication to the vehicle operator of the vehicle road speed. This gauge
is controlled by the instrument cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming and electronic
messages received by the cluster from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) over the Controller
Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The speedometer is an air core magnetic unit that receives battery current on the instrument
cluster electronic circuit board through the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit whenever
the ignition switch is in the ON or START positions. The cluster is programmed to move the gauge
needle back to the low end of the scale after the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position. The
instrument cluster circuitry controls the gauge needle position and provides the following features:
- Vehicle Speed Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronicvehicle speed message
from the PCM it will calculate the correct vehicle speed reading and position the gauge needle at
that relative speed position on the gauge scale. The cluster will receive a new message and
reposition the gauge pointer accordingly about every 88 milliseconds. The gauge needle will
continually be positioned at the relative vehicle speed position on the gauge scale until the vehicle
stops moving, or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Communication Error - If the cluster fails to receive a speed message, it will hold the gauge
needle at the last indication for about three seconds, or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF
position, whichever occurs first. After three seconds, the gauge needle will return to the left end of
the gauge scale.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the speedometer needle will
be swept to several calibration points on the gauge scale in a prescribed sequence in order to
confirm the functionality of the gauge and the cluster control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) or electronic wheel speed
messages from the Controller Anti-lock Brake (CAB) to determine the vehicle road speed. The
PCM then sends the proper vehicle speed messages to the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster
(EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN). For further diagnosis of the
speedometer or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the gauge, Refer to appropriate
testing.
For proper diagnosis of the VSS, the CAB, the PCM, the EMIC, the CAN data bus or the electronic
communication related to speedometer operation a diagnostic scan tool is required. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information.

Tachometer: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
A tachometer is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. The tachometer is located to the left
of the speedometer, just to the left of center in the instrument cluster. The tachometer consists of a
movable gauge needle or pointer controlled by the instrument cluster circuitry and a fixed 210
degree scale on the gauge dial face. The tachometer reads left-to-right from 0 to 7 for gasoline
engines, or from 0 to 5 for diesel engines. The text RPM X 1000 is imprinted on the cluster overlay
directly below the hub of the tachometer needle. This text identifies that each number on the
tachometer scale is to be multiplied by 1000 rpm.
The tachometer graphics are black against a white field making them clearly visible within the
instrument cluster in daylight. When illuminated from behind by the panel lamps dimmer controlled
cluster general illumination lighting with the exterior lamps turned ON, the black graphics appear
blue-green and the red graphics still appear red. The gauge needle has internal optical illumination.
Gauge illumination is provided by a replaceable incandescent bulb and holder unit located on the
instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
The tachometer is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Temperature Gauge: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
An engine coolant temperature gauge is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. The engine
coolant temperature gauge is located in the lower right quadrant of the instrument cluster, below
the oil pressure gauge. The gauge consists of a movable gauge needle or pointer controlled by the
instrument cluster circuitry and a fixed 90 degree scale on the cluster overlay that reads left-to-right
from C (or Cold) to H (or Hot) for gasoline engines. On vehicles with a diesel engine, the scale
reads from 60 °C to 120 °C in markets where a metric instrument cluster is specified, or from 140
°F to 245 °F in all other markets. An International Control and Display Symbol icon for Engine
Coolant Temperature is located on the cluster overlay, directly below the left end of the gauge
scale.
The engine coolant temperature gauge graphics are black against a white field except for a single
red graduation at the high end of the gauge scale making them clearly visible within the instrument
cluster in daylight. When illuminated from behind by the panel lamps dimmer controlled cluster
illumination lighting with the exterior lamps turned ON, the black gauge graphics appear blue-green
and the red graphics still appear red. The gauge needle has internal optical illumination. Gauge
illumination is provided by replaceable incandescent bulb and holder units located on the

Temperature Gauge: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The engine coolant temperature gauge gives an indication to the vehicle operator of the engine
coolant temperature. This gauge is controlled by the instrument cluster circuit board based upon
cluster programming and electronic messages received by the cluster from the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM) on vehicles equipped with a gasoline engine, or the Engine Control Module (ECM)
on vehicles equipped with a diesel engine over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The engine coolant temperature gauge is an air core magnetic unit that receives battery current on
the instrument cluster electronic circuit board through the fused ignition switch output (run-start)
circuit whenever the ignition switch is in the ON or START positions. The cluster is programmed to
move the gauge needle back to the low end of the scale after the ignition switch is turned to the
OFF position. The instrument cluster circuitry controls the gauge needle position and provides the
following features:
- Engine Temperature Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic engine temperature
message from the PCM or ECM indicating the temperature is between the low end of normal
[about 54 °C (130 °F) for gasoline engines, or about 60 °C (140 °F) for diesel engines] and the high
end of normal [about 122 °C (252 °F) for gasoline engines, or about 116 °C (240 °F) for diesel
engines], the gauge needle is moved to the actual relative temperature position on the gauge
scale.
Engine Temperature Low Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic engine
temperature message from the PCM or ECM indicating the temperature is below the low end of
normal [about 54 °C (130 °F) for gasoline engines, or about 60 °C (140 °F) for diesel engines], the
gauge needle is held at the graduation on the far left end of the gauge scale. The gauge needle
remains at the low end of the gauge scale until the cluster receives a message from the PCM or
ECM indicating the temperature is above about 54 °C (130 °F) for gasoline engines, or about 60 °
C (140 °F) for diesel engines, or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever
occurs first.
- Engine Temperature High Message - Each time the cluster receives three consecutive electronic
engine temperature messages from the PCM or ECM indicating the temperature is above about
122 °C (252 °F) for gasoline engines, or about 116 °C (240 °F) for diesel engines, the gauge
needle is moved to the red increment or zone at the far right end of gauge scale, the check gauges
indicator is illuminated, and a single chime tone is sounded. The gauge needle remains at the high
end of the gauge scale and the check gauges indicator remains illuminated until the cluster
receives a message from the PCM or ECM indicating that the temperature is below about 122 °C
(252 °F) for gasoline engines, or about 116 °C (240 °F) for diesel engines, or until the ignition
switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first. The chime tone feature will only repeat
during the same ignition cycle if the check gauges indicator is cycled OFF and then ON again by
the appropriate messages from the PCM or ECM.
- Communication Error - If the cluster fails to receive an engine temperature message, it will hold
the gauge needle at the last indication for about 10 seconds or until the ignition switch is turned to
the OFF position, whichever occurs first. After 10 seconds, the cluster will move the gauge needle
to the low end of the gauge scale.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the engine coolant
temperature gauge needle will be swept to several calibration points on the gauge scale in a
prescribed sequence in order to confirm the functionality of the gauge and the cluster control
circuitry.
The PCM (gasoline engine) or ECM (diesel engine) continually monitors the engine coolant
temperature sensor to determine the engine operating temperature. The PCM or ECM then sends
the proper messages to the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab
Compartment Node/CCN). If the instrument cluster turns ON the check gauges indicator due to a
high engine temperature gauge reading, it may indicate that the engine or the engine cooling
system requires service.
For proper diagnosis of the engine coolant temperature sensor, the PCM, the ECM, the EMIC, the
CAN data bus or the electronic communication related to engine coolant temperature gauge
operation a diagnostic scan tool is required.

Temperature Warning Indicator - A/T: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
A transmission over-temperature indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters.
However, on vehicles not equipped with an optional automatic transmission, this indicator is
electronically disabled. This indicator is located in the lower portion of the tachometer dial face in
the instrument cluster overlay.
The transmission over-temperature indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the International
Control and Display Symbol icon for Transmission Temperature in the opaque layer of the
instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being
clearly visible when it is not illuminated. A red Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the
opaque layer of the overlay causes the indicator to appear in red through the translucent outer
layer of the overlay when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the
instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
The transmission over-temperature indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Temperature Warning Indicator - A/T: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The transmission over-temperature indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the
transmission fluid temperature is excessive, which may lead to accelerated transmission
component wear or failure. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument cluster
circuit board based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received over the
Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
The transmission over-temperature indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by
the instrument cluster logic circuit, and that logic will only allow this indicator to operate when the
instrument cluster receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start)
circuit. Therefore, the LED will always be OFF when the ignition switch is in any position except ON
or START. The LED only illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster
transistor. The instrument cluster will turn ON the transmission over-temperature indicator for the
following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position the transmission
over-temperature indicator is illuminated for about two seconds as a bulb test.
- Trans Over-Temp Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic
trans over-temp indicator lamp-ON message from the PCM indicating that the transmission fluid
temperature is 135 °C (275 °F) or higher, the indicator will be illuminated and a single chime tone is
sounded. The indicator remains illuminated until the cluster receives a lamp-OFF message from
the PCM, or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first. The chime
tone feature will only repeat during the same ignition cycle if the indicator is cycled OFF and then
ON again by the appropriate lamp-ON and lamp-OFF messages from the PCM.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the transmission
over-temperature indicator will be turned ON, then OFF again during the bulb check portion of the
test to confirm the functionality of the LED and the cluster control circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the transmission temperature sensor to determine the transmission
operating condition. The PCM then sends the proper lamp-ON or lamp-OFF message to the
ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN). If
the instrument cluster illuminates the transmission over-temperature indicator due to a high
transmission oil temperature condition, it may indicate that the transmission or the transmission
cooling system are being overloaded, or that they require service. For further diagnosis of the
transmission over-temperature indicator or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the LED,
Refer to appropriate testing.
For proper diagnosis of the transmission temperature sensor, the PCM, the EMIC, the CAN data
bus or the electronic communication related to transmission over-temperature indicator operation a
diagnostic scan tool is required. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Low Tire Pressure Indicator: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
A Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. However,
on vehicles not equipped with the optional TPM, this indicator is electronically disabled. This
indicator is located in the lower portion of the tachometer dial face in the instrument cluster overlay.
The TPM indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of an icon that represents a cross-section of a
tire with a centered exclamation point in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster overlay. The
dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not
illuminated. An amber Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the
overlay causes the indicator to appear in amber through the translucent outer layer of the overlay
when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the instrument cluster
electronic circuit board.
The TPM indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Low Tire Pressure Indicator: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator of the status
of the TPM system. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument cluster circuit
board based upon cluster programming and electronic messages received by the cluster from the
Sentry Key REmote Entry Module (SKREEM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The TPM indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument cluster
logic circuit, and that logic will only allow this indicator to operate when the instrument cluster
receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the
LED will always be OFF when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The LED
only illuminates when it is provide a path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The
instrument cluster will turn ON the TPM indicator for the following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, the SKREEM sends an
electronic TPM indicator lamp-ON message to the cluster to illuminate the TPM indicator for about
three seconds as a bulb test.
- TPM Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic TPM indicator
lamp-ON message from the SKREEM, the TPM indicator will be illuminated. The indicator can be
flashed ON and OFF, or illuminated solid, as dictated by the SKREEM message. The indicator
remains illuminated until the cluster receives a lamp-OFF message from the SKREEM or until the
ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Communication Error - If the cluster receives no TPM lamp-ON or lamp-OFF messages from the
SKREEM for six consecutive seconds, the TPM indicator is illuminated by the instrument cluster.
The indicator remains controlled and illuminated by the cluster until a valid lamp-ON or lamp-OFF
message is received from the SKREEM.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the TPM indicator will be
turned ON, then OFF again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality of
the LED and the cluster control circuitry.
The SKREEM performs a self-test each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position to
decide whether the TPM system is in good operating condition and whether the tire inflation
pressures are too high or too low. The SKREEM then sends the proper lamp-ON or lamp-OFF
message to the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab
Compartment Node/CCN). If the instrument cluster turns ON the TPM indicator after the bulb test, it
indicates that the inflation pressure of a tire is too low or that a malfunction has occurred and the
TPM system is ineffective.
For proper diagnosis of the TPM system, the SKREEM, the EMIC, the CAN data bus or the
electronic communication related to TPM indicator operation a diagnostic scan tool is required.
Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Tire Pressure Monitor Receiver / Transponder: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The Wireless Control Module (WCM), commonly referred to as the Sentry Key Remote Entry
Module (SKREEM), uses transponders (trigger modules) located in the front wheel wells on the
vehicle to provide it with the location of the front tire pressure sensors on the vehicle. Like the base
system, the WCM receives RF signals from all four rotating wheel speed sensors. When the WCM
needs to know which sensor is located at a particular location on the vehicle, it directs the
transponder at that location to send out a low frequency signal to excite the nearby sensor. The
WCM then receives that excited signal and knows where that sensor is located. This auto-locating
process only happens in the first 10 minutes of any WCM cycle while traveling at speeds above 20
mph (32 km/h) (Each WCM cycle ends when the vehicle has been shut off for a time period of
approximately 20 minutes or longer). If the TPMS fails to localize, the TPM indicator lamp will flash
on/off for 75 seconds, and remain on solid.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Service Precautions
CAUTION
CAUTION: The use of tire sealants is not recommended for vehicles equipped with the Tire
Pressure Monitoring system. Tire sealants may clog tire pressure sensors.
CAUTION: Tire pressure sensor valve stem caps and cores are specially designed for the sensors.
Due to risk of corrosion, do not use a standard valve stem cap or core in a tire pressure sensor in
place of the original equipment style sensor cap and core.
CAUTION: It is not recommended to install a tire pressure sensor in an aftermarket wheel. Use tire
pressure sensors in original style factory wheels only.
CAUTION: Any time a sensor is to be reinstalled in a wheel, a new seal, cap and valve core must
be installed on the stem to ensure air tight sealing.
NOTE: TPM thresholds have been established for the original tire size equipped on the vehicle.
Use original size tires only to maintain system accuracy.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
On vehicles equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring System, one tire pressure sensor (6) is
mounted to each wheel in place of the traditional tire valve stem. Each sensor has an internal
battery that lasts up to 10 years. The battery is not serviceable. At the time of battery failure, the
sensor (6) must be replaced. The TPM system operates on a 315 MHz radio frequency. The 315
MHz sensors can be easily identified by a GREEN sensor body, with (an triangle insignia) (1). The
433 MHz sensors can be identified by a grey sensor body with an oval insignia. For car
applications, there is a 315 MHz TPM sensor with a Black sensor body with an oval insignia.
NOTE: This vehicle uses the 315 MHz TPM sensor with the GREEN sensor body. Although 315
MHz and 433 MHz sensors are identical in size and shape, they are not interchangeable. Always
make sure the correct color sensor is being used. A RKE-TPM Analyzer can be used to determine
the sensor's frequency without having to dismount the tire.
The TPM sensors are designed for original style factory wheels. It is not recommended to install a
tire pressure sensor in an aftermarket wheel. (This could cause sealing and system performance
issues.)
The serviceable components of the tire pressure sensor are:
- Sensor-To-Wheel Seal (4)
- Valve Stem Cap (2)
- Valve Stem Core
- Valve Stem Nut (3)
The valve stem caps and cores used are specifically designed for the tire pressure monitoring
sensors. Although similar to standard valve stem caps and cores, they are different. The valve
stem cap has a special seal inside to keep moisture and corrosion out. The valve stem core has a
special nickel coating to protect from corrosion.

Tire Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
CAUTION: The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS
pressures have been established for the tire size equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable system
operation or sensor damage may result when using replacement equipment that is not of the same
size, type, and/or style. After-market wheels can cause sensor damage. Do not use aftermarket tire
sealants or balance beads if your vehicle is equipped with a TPMS, as damage to the sensors may
result.
CAUTION: After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure always reinstall the valve stem cap. This
will prevent moisture and dirt from entering the valve stem, which could damage the Tire Pressure
Monitoring Sensor.
CAUTION: Tire pressure sensor valve stem caps and cores are specially designed for the sensors.
Due to risk of corrosion, do not use a standard valve stem cap or core in a tire pressure sensor in
place of the original equipment style sensor cap and core.
CAUTION: Any time a sensor is to be reinstalled in a wheel, a new seal, nut, cap and valve core
must be installed on the stem to ensure air tight sealing.
NOTE: TPM thresholds have been established for the original tire size equipped on the vehicle.
Use original size tires only to maintain system accuracy.
The battery operated tire pressure sensor is both a transmitter and a receiver. The TPM sensor can
be forced to transmit if using a special tool such as a TPM-RKE Analyzer, or from a transponder.
The TPM-RKE Analyzer has the ability to change the sensor mode and to diagnose a faulty TPM
sensor. Using a TPM-RKE Analyzer can take up to a minute to force a transmission from a sensor.
The High Pressure TPM sensor can be in one of the following modes:
Sleep Mode - A new TPM sensor will be in this mode. If placed on the vehicle as a road tire, the
TPM sensor will transmit once every 20 seconds when the vehicle is driven at speeds over 15 mph
(24 km/h). If the vehicle is not moving, the sensor will only transmit on a pressure change greater
then 2 psi (13.8 kPA). Driving the vehicle continuously at speeds over 15 mph (24 km/h) for more
then 4 minutes will change the sensor state into 30 BLOCK MODE. The TPM sensor will not return
to SLEEP MODE. Now, if the vehicle has been stopped for 20 minutes, the TPM sensor state will
change to PARK MODE.
- Park Mode - This is the correct mode when the vehicle is not moving. The sensor will transmit
once every 13 hours to update the WCM, or will transmit on a 2 psi (13.8 kPA) delta change. The
sensors will internally take a measurement of the tire pressure every minute to determine a change
in tire pressure.
- 30 Block Mode - If the vehicle has not been moving for more then 20 minutes, or if the sensor's
mode was forced to Park Mode using a TPM-RKE Analyzer, the sensor's operating mode will
transition from PARK MODE to 30 BLOCK MODE once the vehicle is driven over 15 mph. In this
mode, the sensor will transmit once every 15 seconds when the vehicle is driven at speeds over 15
mph (24 km/h) for the first 30 transmissions. After 8 minutes of continuous driving above 15 mph
(24 km/h), the TPM sensor will change to DRIVE MODE.
Drive Mode - In this mode, the sensor will transmit once every minute when the vehicle is driven at
speeds over 15 mph (24 km/h). At any time that the vehicle speed drops below 15mph, the sensor
will not transmit. The sensor mode will still be in drive mode when the sensor reaches speeds over
15 mph (24 km/h). If the vehicle has been stationary for more then 20 minutes, the TPM sensor will
change to PARK MODE.
Each sensor's (transmitter) broadcast is uniquely coded so that the wireless control module (WCM)
can monitor the state of each of the sensors on the four rotating road wheels. The WCM can
automatically learn and store the sensor's ID while driving "within 10 minutes continuously above
15 m.p.h. (24 Km/h)" after a sensor has been replaced. The vehicle must be stationary for more
then 20 minutes in order to initiate the learning sequence.
The sensor IDs can also be programmed using the TPM-RKE Analyzer Tool. Scan each TPM
sensor at each road wheel, and store each Sensor ID in the correct location. (LEFT FRONT, LEFT
REAR, RIGHT FRONT, and RIGHT REAR) Connect the TPM-RKE Analyzer Tool to the Scan Tool.
Then follow the programming steps outlined in the diagnostic Scan Tool for "Program Tire Pressure
Sensor ID w/ TPM Tool" under "MISC" for the "WCM/WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE".

Tire Pressure Sensor: Testing and Inspection
TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR
NOTE: Tire pressure may increase from 2 to 6 psi (14 to 41 kPa) during normal driving conditions.
Do NOT reduce this normal pressure build up.
NOTE: Tire pressure will vary with temperature by about 1 psi (6.9 kPa) for every 12 F (6.5 C). This
means that when the outside temperature decreases, the tire pressure will also decrease. Tire
pressure should always be set based on cold inflation tire pressure.
When diagnosing a tire pressure issue, always check air pressure in the tires first with a known
accurate air gauge. Adjust air pressure as necessary to that listed on the Tire Inflation Pressure
Label (Placard) provided with the vehicle (usually applied to the driver's side B-pillar). After
adjusting air pressure in a tire on the vehicle, allow approximately two minutes for the message or
indicator lamp to go out.
Check the tire pressure indicator lamp in the instrument cluster. If the lamp is illuminating
continuously, inspect all the tires for leaks. A water "dunk tank" or other water test may be used to
check for leaks around the sensor as long as any water at the valve core is removed once the
procedure is completed. The water can be easily expelled from the core area by pushing in on the
core for several seconds, allowing escaping air to drive out any moisture. Reinflate the tire as
necessary. Always make sure the original valve stem cap is securely installed to keep moisture out
of the sensor. If the gauge-read pressure in the tires does not indicate a tire pressure issue, refer to
the appropriate diagnostic information.
If the indicator lamp is flashing on/off for 75 seconds and then remains on solid, a system fault was
detected. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

is located approximately 180° clockwise from the installation end of the mounting/dismounting tool
(2) once the tool is mounted for tire installation. Make sure the sensor is clear of the lower bead
breaker area (3) to avoid damaging the sensor when the breaker rises. Rotate the tool (2) in a
counterclockwise direction to mount the tire. Use this procedure on both the upper and lower tire
beads.
6. Adjust air pressure to that listed on Tire Inflation Pressure Label (Placard) provided with vehicle
(usually applied to driver's side B-pillar). Make
sure original style valve stem cap is securely installed to keep moisture out of sensor.
7. Install tire and wheel assembly on vehicle. See: Maintenance/Wheels and Tires/Service and
Repair/Removal and Replacement 8. Lower vehicle. 9. If the vehicle has been stationary for more
then 20 minutes, drive the vehicle for a minimum of 10 minutes while maintaining a continuous
speed
above 15 mph (24 km/h). During this time, the system will learn the new sensor ID. A new sensor
ID can also be programmed directly into the WCM by using a RKE-TPM Analyzer in conjunction
with a Scan Tool. Once the new sensor ID has been programmed, the RKE-TPM Analyzer can be
used to update the TPMS by activating the sensor.
NOTE: If a sensor cannot be trained, refer to appropriate diagnostic information.

Traction Control Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation Electronic Stability Program/Brake
Assist System Indicator
Description
DESCRIPTION
An Electronic Stability Program/Brake Assist System (ESP/BAS) indicator is only found in the
instrument clusters for vehicles equipped with a gasoline engine. However, on vehicles not
equipped with the optional ESP/BAS, this indicator is electronically disabled. This indicator is
located in the lower portion of the tachometer dial face in the instrument cluster overlay.
The ESP/BAS indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the text ESP BAS in the opaque layer of
the instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being
clearly visible when it is not illuminated. An amber Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in
the opaque layer of the overlay causes the indicator to appear in amber through the translucent
outer layer of the overlay when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the
instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
The ESP/BAS indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.
Operation
OPERATION
The ESP/BAS indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when a problem has been
detected in the Electronic Stability Program (ESP)/Brake Assist System (BAS). This indicator is
controlled by a transistor on the instrument cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming
and electronic messages received by the cluster from the Controller Antilock Brake (CAB) and the
Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The ESP/BAS indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument
cluster logic circuit, and that logic will only allow this indicator to operate when the instrument
cluster receives a battery current input on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit.
Therefore, the LED will always be OFF when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or
START. The LED only illuminates when it is provided a path to ground by the instrument cluster
transistor. The instrument cluster will turn ON the ESP/BAS indicator for the following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position the ESP/BAS indicator is
illuminated for about four seconds as a bulb test.
- ESP/BAS Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic ESP/BAS
indicator lamp-ON message from the CAB or the TIPM, the ESP/BAS indicator will be illuminated.
The indicator remains illuminated until the cluster receives a lamp-OFF message from the CAB or
TIPM, or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the ESP/BAS indicator will
be turned ON, then OFF again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality
of the LED and the cluster control circuitry.
The CAB and TIPM continually monitor the ESP/BAS system circuits and sensors to decide
whether the system is in good operating condition and the proper outputs to the components of the
system. The CAB or TIPM then sends the proper lamp-ON or lamp-OFF message to the
ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN).

is electronically disabled. This indicator is located in the lower portion of the tachometer dial face in
the instrument cluster overlay.
The traction control indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the International Control and
Display Symbol icon for Stability - Anti-Spin in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster overlay.
The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not

turn ON the traction control indicator for the following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position the traction control indicator
is illuminated for about four seconds as a bulb test. The entire bulb test is a function of the CAB.
- Traction Control Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic
traction control indicator lamp-ON message from the CAB indicating that the ESP/BAS/TCS has
been activated, the traction control indicator will be illuminated. The indicator remains illuminated
until the cluster receives a lamp-OFF message from the CAB, or until the ignition switch is turned to
the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the traction control indicator
will be turned ON, then OFF again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the

Transmission Mode Indicator - A/T: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
An electronic automatic transmission gear selector indicator is standard factory-installed equipment
on this vehicle. However, on vehicles not equipped with an optional automatic transmission, this
indicator is electronically disabled. The gear selector indicator information is displayed in an
electronic, blue-green Vacuum-Fluorescent Display (VFD) unit. This VFD unit is soldered onto the
cluster electronic circuit board and is visible through a window with a smoked clear lens located on
the lower edge of the speedometer dial face of the cluster overlay. The dark lens over the VFD
prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated.
The gear selector indicator displays the following characters from left to right: P, R, N, D, 2, and 1.
Each character appears in a blue-green color and at the same lighting level as the odometer
information. Respectively, these characters represent the PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL, DRIVE,
second gear, and first gear positions of the transmission gear selector lever on the steering
column. The indicator illuminates a rectangular box around the character that represents the
currently selected lever position.
During daylight hours (exterior lamps are OFF) the gear selector indicator is illuminated at full
brightness for clear visibility. At night (exterior lamps are ON), the indicator lighting level is adjusted
with the other cluster general illumination lamps using the panel lamps dimmer thumbwheel on the
headlamp switch. However, a PARADE mode position of the panel lamps dimmer thumbwheel
allows the indicator to be illuminated at full brightness if the exterior lamps are turned ON during
daylight hours.
The gear selector indicator is serviced as a unit with the VFD unit in the instrument cluster.

Transmission Mode Indicator - A/T: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The electronic gear selector indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator of the transmission
gear that has been selected with the automatic transmission gear selector lever. This indicator is
controlled by the instrument cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming. The cluster
circuitry automatically configures itself for the proper transmission type based upon the hard wired
transmission range sensor mux circuit input to the cluster.
The gear selector indicator information is displayed by the odometer/trip odometer Vacuum
Fluorescent Display (VFD) unit soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board, and
the VFD will not display the gear selector indicator information after the ignition switch is turned to
the OFF position. Each time the cluster is disconnected from battery current for more than about
five minutes, it must configure itself for the automatic transmission type that is in the vehicle once it
is reconnected to battery current. The instrument cluster circuitry configures the gear selector
indicator based upon the following inputs from the transmission range sensor:
- Open Circuit - If the cluster is configured for an automatic transmission and the transmission
range sensor mux circuit is open, the cluster circuitry controls the gear selector indicator display
based upon an electronic selected gear message received from the Transmission Control Module
(TCM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus. If the Transmission Range Sensor (TRS)
mux circuit is open and no electronic selected gear messages are received from the TCM within
two seconds, the instrument cluster circuitry will not display any gear selector position until the
condition is resolved or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Resolved Circuit - If the transmission range sensor mux circuit is resolved, the cluster circuitry
controls the gear selector indicator display based upon the resistance value of the hard wired input
from the TRS. If the cluster is configured for an automatic transmission with a TRS input and
detects a short to ground or an open in the TRS mux input, the instrument cluster circuitry will not
display any gear selector position in the VFD. The VFD display for the short-to-ground and open
circuit conditions will continue until the condition is resolved or until the ignition switch is turned to
the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the odometer/trip odometer
VFD will display all of its characters at once, then step through each character segment individually
during the VFD portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the VFD and the cluster control
circuitry.
On vehicles with a TCM, the TCM continually monitors the TRS, then sends the proper message to
the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment
Node/CCN). On vehicles without a TCM, the EMIC continually monitors the hard wired TRS
multiplexed input. On vehicles with a TCM, for proper diagnosis of the TRS, the TCM, the EMIC,
the CAN data bus or the electronic communication related to gear selector indicator operation a
diagnostic scan tool is required.

DESCRIPTION
A voltage gauge is standard equipment on all instrument clusters except the ST vehicles with a
gasoline engine. This gauge is located in the upper left quadrant of the instrument cluster, above
the fuel gauge. This gauge consists of a movable gauge needle or pointer controlled by the
instrument cluster circuitry and a fixed 90 degree scale on the cluster overlay that reads left-to-right
from L (or Low) to H (or High) for gasoline engines. On vehicles with a diesel engine, the scale
reads from 8 to 18 volts. An International Control and Display Symbol icon for Battery Charging
Condition is located on the cluster overlay, directly below the right end of the gauge scale.
The voltage gauge graphics are black against a white field except for a single red graduation at
each end of the gauge scale making them clearly visible within the instrument cluster in daylight.
When illuminated from behind by the panel lamps dimmer controlled cluster general illumination
lighting with the exterior lamps turned ON, the black graphics appear blue-green and the red
graphics still appear red. The gauge needle has internal optical illumination. Gauge illumination is
provided by a replaceable incandescent bulb and holder unit located on the instrument cluster
electronic circuit board.
The voltage gauge is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Volt Meter Gauge: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The voltage gauge gives an indication to the vehicle operator of the electrical system voltage. This
gauge is controlled by the instrument cluster circuit board based upon cluster programming and
electronic messages received by the cluster from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) on vehicles
equipped with a gasoline engine, or from the Engine Control Module (ECM) on vehicles equipped
with a diesel engine over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The voltage gauge is an air core magnetic unit that receives battery current on the instrument
cluster electronic circuit board through the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit whenever
the ignition switch is in the ON or START positions. The cluster is programmed to move the gauge
needle back to the left end of the scale after the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position. The
instrument cluster circuitry controls the gauge needle position and provides the following features:
- System Voltage Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic system voltage message
from the PCM or ECM indicating the voltage is between about 9.5 volts and about 15 volts, the
gauge needle is moved to the relative voltage position on the gauge scale.
- System Voltage Low (Charge Fail) Message - Each time the cluster receives three consecutive
electronic system voltage messages from the PCM or ECM indicating the voltage is less than about
9 volts (charge fail condition) or that the battery temperature sensor input is an open circuit, the
gauge needle is moved to the graduation on the far left end of the gauge scale and the check
gauges indicator is illuminated. The gauge needle remains at the far left end of the gauge scale
and the check gauges indicator remains illuminated until the cluster receives a single message
from the PCM or ECM indicating the voltage is greater than about 9.5 volts (but less than about
15.5 volts), or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first. On
vehicles equipped with the optional diesel engine, the ECM is programmed to restrict the voltage
gauge needle to a position above the graduation on the far left end of the gauge scale and
suppress the check engine indicator operation until after the engine intake manifold air heater has
completed a pre-heat or post-heat cycle.
- System Voltage High Message - Each time the cluster receives 3 consecutive electronic system
voltage messages from the PCM or ECM indicating the voltage is greater than about 15.5 volts, the
gauge needle is moved to the graduation on the far right end of the gauge scale and the check
gauges indicator is illuminated. The gauge needle remains at the right end of the gauge scale and
the check gauges indicator remains illuminated until the cluster receives a message from the PCM
or ECM indicating the voltage is less than about 15.0 volts (but greater than about 9.5 volts), or
until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Communication Error - If the cluster fails to receive a system voltage message, it will hold the
gauge needle at the last indication for about three seconds, or until the ignition switch is turned to
the OFF position, whichever occurs first. After three seconds, the cluster will move the gauge
needle to the far left end of the gauge scale.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the voltage gauge needle
will be swept to several calibration points on the gauge scale in a prescribed sequence in order to
confirm the functionality of the gauge and the cluster control circuitry.
The PCM (gasoline engine) or ECM (diesel engine) continually monitors the system voltage to
control the generator output. The PCM or ECM then sends the proper system voltage message to
the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment
Node/CCN). If the instrument cluster turns ON the check gauges indicator due to a charge fail or
voltage high condition, it may indicate that the charging system requires service.
For proper diagnosis of the charging system, the PCM, the ECM, the EMIC, the CAN data bus or
the electronic communication related to voltage gauge operation a diagnostic scan tool is required.

Backup Lamp Switch: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with a manual transmission have a normally open, spring-loaded plunger type
backup lamp switch (2). 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.
Refer to the service and diagnostic information for the automatic transmission type installed in the
vehicle.
The backup lamp switch is located in a threaded hole on the side of the manual transmission
housing. The switch has a threaded body and a hex formation near the plunger end of the switch.
An integral connector receptacle at the end of the switch opposite the plunger connects the switch
to the vehicle electrical system through a take out and connector of the engine wire harness. When
installed, only the switch connector and the hex formation are visible on the outside of the
transmission housing.
The backup lamp switch cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, the entire
switch unit must be replaced.

Backup Lamp Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The backup lamp switch controls the flow of battery voltage to the backup lamp bulbs through an
output on the backup lamp feed circuit. The switch plunger is mechanically actuated by the
gearshift mechanism within the transmission, which will depress the switch plunger and close the
switch contacts whenever the REVERSE gear has been selected. The switch receives battery
voltage through a fuse in the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) on a fused ignition switch
output (run) circuit whenever the ignition switch is in the ON position.
The backup lamp switch as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the switch may be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information.

Brake Light Switch: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The brake lamp switch (2) is a three circuit, spring-loaded plunger actuated switch that is secured
to the steering column support bracket under the instrument panel on the driver side of the vehicle.
The molded plastic switch housing has an integral connector receptacle (1) containing six terminal
pins and featuring a Connector Position Assurance (CPA) lock. The switch is connected to the
vehicle electrical system through a dedicated take out of the instrument panel wire harness.
The switch plunger (3) extends through a mounting collar (4) on one end of the switch housing. The
plunger has a one time telescoping self-adjustment feature that is activated after the switch is
installed by moving an adjustment release lever (5) on the opposite end of the switch housing
clockwise, until it locks into a position that is horizontal and parallel to the connector receptacle.
An installed brake lamp switch cannot be readjusted or repaired. If the switch is damaged,
ineffective, or removed from its mounting position for any reason, it must be replaced with a new
unit.

Brake Light Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The brake lamp switch controls three independent circuits. These circuits are described as follows:
- Brake Lamp Switch Circuit - A normally open brake lamp switch circuit receives a battery voltage
input, and supplies this battery voltage to the brake lamps and the Controller Antilock Brake (CAB)
on a brake lamp switch output circuit only when the brake pedal is depressed (brake lamp switch
plunger released).
- Brake Lamp Switch Signal Circuit - A normally closed brake lamp switch signal circuit receives a
direct path to ground, and supplies this ground input to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) on a
brake lamp switch sense circuit only when the brake pedal is released (brake lamp switch plunger
is depressed).
- Speed Control Circuit - A normally closed speed control circuit receives a battery voltage input
from the Powertrain Control Module on a speed control supply circuit, and supplies this battery
voltage to the speed control servo solenoids (dump, vacuum, and vent) on a speed control brake
switch output circuit only when the speed control system is turned ON and the brake pedal is
released (brake lamp switch plunger is depressed).
The components of the self-adjusting brake switch plunger consist of a two-piece telescoping
plunger, a split plunger locking collar, and a release wedge. The release lever has a shaft with a
wedge that spreads the plunger locking collar to an open or released position. After the switch is
installed and the brake pedal is released, the plunger telescopes to the correct adjustment position.
When the release lever is moved to the release position, the wedge is disengaged from the locking
collar causing the collar to apply a clamping pressure to the two plunger halves, fixing the plunger
length.
The brake lamp switch as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the switch may be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information.

DISCUSSION: Some customers may report that on occasion, vehicle exterior lamp assemblies are
fogged with a light layer of condensation on the inside of the lenses. This may be reported after the
lamps have been turned on and brought up to operating temperature, turned off, and then rapidly
cooled by cold water (such as rain, or the water from a car wash). Lens fogging can also occur
under certain atmospheric conditions after a vehicle has been parked outside overnight (i.e., a
warm humid day followed by clear cool night). This will usually clear as atmospheric conditions
change to allow the condensation to change back into a vapor. Turning the lamps on will usually
accelerate this process.

A lamp that has large amounts of water droplets visible on most internal surfaces indicates a
problem with the lamp sealing that has allowed water to enter the lamp. In this instance, the
customer is likely to report that moisture in the lamp is always present and never disappears. A
lamp that exhibits internal moisture permanently should be replaced.

The door ajar switches are actuated by the mechanisms internal to the door latch. When a door is
closed and properly latched, its door ajar switch is an open circuit. When a door is open or only
partially latched, the door ajar switch is a closed circuit. The door ajar switches are hard wired in
series between a body ground and the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known
as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN).
The EMIC reads the hard wired door ajar switch inputs through internal pull-ups, then uses these
inputs to control many electronic functions and features of the vehicle. The EMIC also sends the
proper electronic door ajar switch status messages to other electronic modules in the vehicle over
the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The door ajar switches as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the switches may be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information.

Fog/Driving Lamp Indicator: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
A fog lamp indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. However, on vehicles not
equipped with optional fog lamps, this indicator is electronically disabled. This indicator is located
within the odometer/trip odometer Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) unit.
The fog lamp indicator consists of the International Control and Display Symbol icon for Front Fog
Light in the lower left corner of the VFD unit. The VFD unit is soldered onto the instrument cluster
electronic circuit board, and is visible through a window with a smoked clear lens located on the
lower edge of the speedometer gauge dial face of the cluster overlay. The dark lens over the VFD
prevents the icon from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated. The fog lamp indicator icon
appears in a blue-green color and at the same lighting level as the odometer information when it is
illuminated by the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
During daylight hours (exterior lamps are OFF) the VFD unit is illuminated at full brightness for
clear visibility. At night (exterior lamps are ON), the VFD unit lighting level is adjusted with the other
cluster illumination lamps using the panel lamps dimmer function of the interior lighting thumbwheel
on the headlamp switch. However, a PARADE mode position of the thumbwheel allows the VFD
unit to be illuminated at full brightness if the exterior lamps are turned ON during daylight hours.
The fog lamp indicator is serviced as a unit with the VFD unit in the instrument cluster.

Fog/Driving Lamp Indicator: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The fog lamp indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator whenever the optional fog lamps
are illuminated. This indicator is controlled by the instrument cluster circuit board based upon
cluster programming and electronic messages received by the cluster from the Totally Integrated
Power Module (TIPM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The fog lamp indicator is completely controlled by the instrument cluster logic circuit, and that logic
will only allow this indicator to operate when the instrument cluster receives a battery current input
on the fused ignition switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the indicator will always be OFF
when the ignition switch is in any position except ON or START. The indicator only illuminates
when it is energized by the instrument cluster logic circuit. The instrument cluster will turn ON the
fog lamp indicator for the following reasons:
- Fog Indicator Lamp-On Message - Each time the cluster receives an electronic fog indicator
lamp-ON message from the TIPM indicating the fog lamp circuit is energized, the fog lamp indicator
will be illuminated. The indicator remains illuminated until the cluster receives a lamp-OFF
message from the TIPM, until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position or until the exterior
lamp load shedding (battery saver) timed interval expires, whichever occurs first.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the fog lamp indicator will be
turned ON, then OFF again during the VFD portion of the test to confirm the functionality of the
VFD and the cluster control circuitry.
The TIPM continually monitors electronic exterior lighting switch status messages from the
ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN) to
determine the appropriate outputs to the fog lamps. The TIPM activates or deactivates the fog lamp
circuit then sends the proper lamp-ON or lamp-OFF message back to the EMIC. For further
diagnosis of the fog lamp indicator or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the indicator,
Refer to appropriate testing.
For proper diagnosis of the fog lamp system, the TIPM, the EMIC, the CAN data bus or the
electronic communication related to fog lamp indicator operation a diagnostic scan tool is required.
Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

DISCUSSION: Some customers may report that on occasion, vehicle exterior lamp assemblies are
fogged with a light layer of condensation on the inside of the lenses. This may be reported after the
lamps have been turned on and brought up to operating temperature, turned off, and then rapidly
cooled by cold water (such as rain, or the water from a car wash). Lens fogging can also occur
under certain atmospheric conditions after a vehicle has been parked outside overnight (i.e., a
warm humid day followed by clear cool night). This will usually clear as atmospheric conditions
change to allow the condensation to change back into a vapor. Turning the lamps on will usually
accelerate this process.

A lamp that has large amounts of water droplets visible on most internal surfaces indicates a
problem with the lamp sealing that has allowed water to enter the lamp. In this instance, the
customer is likely to report that moisture in the lamp is always present and never disappears. A
lamp that exhibits internal moisture permanently should be replaced.

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
All switches, components, and modules are shown in the at rest position with the doors closed and
the key removed from the ignition.
Components are shown two ways. A solid line around a component indicates that the component is
complete. A dashed line around the component indicates that the component is being shown is not
complete. Incomplete components have a reference number to indicate the page where the
component is shown complete.
It is important to realize that no attempt is made on the diagrams to represent components and
wiring as they appear on the vehicle. For example, a short piece of wire is treated the same as a
long one. In addition, switches and other components are shown as simply as possible, with regard
to function only.

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Sensitive Devices
STANDARD PROCEDURE - ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) SENSITIVE DEVICES
All ESD sensitive components are solid state and a symbol is used to indicate this. When handling
any component with this symbol, comply with the following procedures to reduce the possibility of
electrostatic charge build up on the body and inadvertent discharge into the component. If it is not
known whether the part is ESD sensitive, assume that it is.
1. Always touch a known good ground before handling the part. This should be repeated while
handling the part and more frequently after sliding
across a seat, sitting down from a standing position, or walking a distance.
2. Avoid touching electrical terminals of the part, unless instructed to do so by a written procedure.
3. When using a voltmeter, be sure to connect the ground lead first. 4. Do not remove the part from
it's protective packing until it is time to install the part. 5. Before removing the part from it's
package, ground the package to a known good ground on the vehicle.

Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- Ohmmeter - Used to check the resistance between two points of a circuit. Low or no resistance in
a circuit means good continuity.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking resistance in these circuits use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
In addition, make sure the power is disconnected from the circuit. Circuits that are powered up by
the vehicle's electrical system can cause damage to the equipment and provide false readings.
Dodge Ram 1500 4wd Workshop Manual (Truck V8-4.7L (2008))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Hazard Warning Lamps > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 14999
- Probing Tools - These tools are used for probing terminals in connectors. Select the proper size
tool from Special Tool Package 6807, and insert the probing end (2) into the terminal being tested.
Use the other end of the tool (1) to insert the meter probe.
INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent electrical problems are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. It is also
possible for a sticking component or relay to cause a problem. Before condemning a component or
wiring assembly, check the following items.
- Connectors are fully seated
- Spread terminals, or terminal push out
- Terminals in the wiring assembly are fully seated into the connector/component and locked into
position
- Dirt or corrosion on the terminals. Any amount of corrosion or dirt could cause an intermittent
problem
- Damaged connector/component casing exposing the item to dirt or moisture
- Wire insulation that has rubbed through causing a short to ground
- Some or all of the wiring strands broken inside of the insulation
- Wiring broken inside of the insulation
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are six steps which can aid in the procedure. The
steps are listed and explained below. Always check for non-factory items added to the vehicle
before doing any diagnosis. If the vehicle is equipped with these items, disconnect them to verify
these add-on items are not the cause of the problem.
1. Verify the problem. 2. Verify any related symptoms. Do this by performing operational checks on
components that are in the same circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams. 3. Analyze the symptoms.
Use the wiring diagrams to determine what the circuit is doing, where the problem most likely is
occurring and where the
diagnosis will continue.
4. Isolate the problem area. 5. Repair the problem area. 6. Verify the proper operation. For this
step, check for proper operation of all items on the repaired circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams.

Headlamp Switch: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The headlamp switch (1) is located on the instrument panel, to the left of the steering column. Two
different switches are used. The standard switch features a three-position rotary knob (4) for
exterior lighting control, a thumbwheel (2) for panel lamps dimming and interior lighting control, and
a momentary push button (3) for cargo lamp control. An optional switch has a momentary PUSH
function added to the rotary knob for front fog lamp control.
Each of these switches is constructed of molded plastic. The rotary knob is molded plastic and
knurled around its circumference to ease operator control. The thumbwheel is also plastic and
knurled. On vehicles with optional fog lamps the rotary knob also has the text PUSH and an
International Control and Display Symbol icon for Front Fog Light applied to it. The cargo lamp
push button is plastic with a smooth finish and the text CARGO applied to it. The switch face plate
is also labeled with graphics and icons to clearly identify the many functions of the rotary knob and
thumbwheel.
Three screws secure the switch to the back of the cluster bezel through integral mounting flanges
that are molded to each side of the switch housing. The back of the switch housing has an integral
connector receptacle containing terminal pins that connect the switch to the vehicle electrical
system through a dedicated take out and connector of the instrument panel wire harness. A panel
dimmer controlled incandescent bulb soldered to the circuit board within the switch provides back
lighting for visibility at night, but is not serviceable.
The headlamp switch cannot be repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, it must be replaced.

Headlamp Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The headlamp switch uses two resistor multiplexed outputs and one conventional output to control
the many functions and features it provides. The switch receives a clean ground from the
ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN)
on a headlamp switch return circuit. It then provides outputs to the EMIC on a headlamp switch
signal circuit to control exterior lighting functions, on a panel lamps dimmer signal circuit to control
panel dimmer and interior lighting functions, and on a cargo lamp return circuit to control the cargo
lamps.
The switch illumination circuit receives a path to ground at all times through the left instrument
panel ground circuit. The illumination level is controlled by a Pulse-Width Modulated (PWM) output
received from the EMIC on a headlamp switch illumination control circuit. The EMIC controls this
output based upon the dimmer signal select mux input from the headlamp switch.
The headlamp switch operates as follows:
- Cargo Lamps Control - The cargo lamp push button on the headlamp switch is depressed to
activate or deactivate the cargo lamps. The headlamp switch provides an output to the EMIC, and
the EMIC responds by providing the appropriate cargo lighting control outputs through its internal
cargo lamp driver circuit.
Front Fog Lamps Control - For vehicles so equipped, the rotary knob on the headlamp switch is
depressed to activate or deactivate the optional front fog lamps. The headlamp switch provides an
output to the EMIC, and the EMIC responds by sending electronic fog lamp switch status
messages to the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN)
data bus. The TIPM responds by energizing or de-energizing the front fog lamps and by sending an
electronic message back to the EMIC to control the front fog lamp indicator.
- Exterior Lighting Control - The rotary knob on the headlamp switch is rotated to a detent position
to activate or deactivate the exterior lighting. The headlamp switch provides an output to the EMIC,
and the EMIC responds by sending electronic exterior lighting switch status messages to the TIPM
over the CAN data bus. The TIPM responds by energizing or de-energizing the park lamp and the
high or low beam headlamp circuits, and by sending an electronic message back to the EMIC to
control the high beam indicator. The TIPM also remembers which headlamp beams were last
selected with the multi-function switch, and energizes those beams by default the next time the
headlamps are turned ON.
- Interior Lighting Control - The thumbwheel on the headlamp switch is rotated to the dome
DEFEAT, dome ON, PARADE mode, or one of the six panel dimmer detent positions to control the
interior courtesy/dome and panel lamps. The headlamp switch provides an output to the EMIC, and
the EMIC responds by providing the appropriate interior lighting control outputs through its internal
courtesy lamp driver circuits, electronic dimming level messages to other modules over the CAN
data bus, and the proper PWM outputs to control dimming levels through several panel dimmer
illumination control driver circuits.
The headlamp switch as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the switch may be diagnosed
using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.

Hi-Beam Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
A high beam indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. This indicator is located
near the upper edge of the instrument cluster, between the tachometer and the speedometer.
The high beam indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the International Control and Display
Symbol icon for High Beam in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer
layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated. A
blue Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the overlay causes the
indicator to appear in blue through the translucent outer layer of the overlay when it is illuminated
from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
The high beam indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Hi-Beam Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The high beam indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator whenever the headlamp high
beams are illuminated. This indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instrument cluster circuit
board based upon cluster programming and a hard wired multiplex input received by the cluster
from the headlamp beam select switch circuitry of the multi-function switch on the washer/beam
select switch mux circuit.
The high beam indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument
cluster logic circuit, and that logic will allow this indicator to operate whenever the instrument
cluster receives a battery current input on the fused B(+) circuit. Therefore, the LED can be
illuminated regardless of the ignition switch position. The LED only illuminates when it is provided a
path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The instrument cluster will turn ON the high
beam indicator for the following reasons:
- High Beam Headlamps-On Input - Each time the cluster detects a high beam headlamps-ON
input from the headlamp beam select switch circuitry of the multi-function switch on the
washer/beam select switch mux circuit, the headlamp high beams and the high beam indicator will
be illuminated. The indicator remains illuminated until the cluster receives a high beam
headlamps-OFF input from the multi-function switch, or until the exterior lamp load shedding
(battery saver) timed interval expires, whichever occurs first.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the high beam indicator will
be turned ON, then OFF again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality
of the LED and the cluster control circuitry.
The ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment
Node/CCN) continually monitors the headlamp switch and the multi-function switch to determine
the proper headlamp low beam and high beam control. The EMIC then sends the proper electronic
low beam and high beam lamp-ON and lamp-OFF messages to the Totally Integrated Power
Module (TIPM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus and controls the high beam
indicator operation accordingly. For further diagnosis of the high beam indicator or the instrument
cluster circuitry that controls the indicator, Refer to appropriate testing.
The hard wired headlamp switch and multi-function switch inputs and circuits related to high beam
indicator operation may be diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to
the appropriate wiring information. For proper diagnosis of the TIPM, the EMIC, the CAN data bus
or the electronic communication related to high beam indicator operation a diagnostic scan tool is
required. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

Backup Lamp Switch: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with a manual transmission have a normally open, spring-loaded plunger type
backup lamp switch (2). 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.
Refer to the service and diagnostic information for the automatic transmission type installed in the
vehicle.
The backup lamp switch is located in a threaded hole on the side of the manual transmission
housing. The switch has a threaded body and a hex formation near the plunger end of the switch.
An integral connector receptacle at the end of the switch opposite the plunger connects the switch
to the vehicle electrical system through a take out and connector of the engine wire harness. When
installed, only the switch connector and the hex formation are visible on the outside of the
transmission housing.
The backup lamp switch cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, the entire
switch unit must be replaced.

Backup Lamp Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The backup lamp switch controls the flow of battery voltage to the backup lamp bulbs through an
output on the backup lamp feed circuit. The switch plunger is mechanically actuated by the
gearshift mechanism within the transmission, which will depress the switch plunger and close the
switch contacts whenever the REVERSE gear has been selected. The switch receives battery
voltage through a fuse in the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) on a fused ignition switch
output (run) circuit whenever the ignition switch is in the ON position.
The backup lamp switch as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the switch may be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information.

Brake Light Switch: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The brake lamp switch (2) is a three circuit, spring-loaded plunger actuated switch that is secured
to the steering column support bracket under the instrument panel on the driver side of the vehicle.
The molded plastic switch housing has an integral connector receptacle (1) containing six terminal
pins and featuring a Connector Position Assurance (CPA) lock. The switch is connected to the
vehicle electrical system through a dedicated take out of the instrument panel wire harness.
The switch plunger (3) extends through a mounting collar (4) on one end of the switch housing. The
plunger has a one time telescoping self-adjustment feature that is activated after the switch is
installed by moving an adjustment release lever (5) on the opposite end of the switch housing
clockwise, until it locks into a position that is horizontal and parallel to the connector receptacle.
An installed brake lamp switch cannot be readjusted or repaired. If the switch is damaged,
ineffective, or removed from its mounting position for any reason, it must be replaced with a new
unit.

Brake Light Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The brake lamp switch controls three independent circuits. These circuits are described as follows:
- Brake Lamp Switch Circuit - A normally open brake lamp switch circuit receives a battery voltage
input, and supplies this battery voltage to the brake lamps and the Controller Antilock Brake (CAB)
on a brake lamp switch output circuit only when the brake pedal is depressed (brake lamp switch
plunger released).
- Brake Lamp Switch Signal Circuit - A normally closed brake lamp switch signal circuit receives a
direct path to ground, and supplies this ground input to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) on a
brake lamp switch sense circuit only when the brake pedal is released (brake lamp switch plunger
is depressed).
- Speed Control Circuit - A normally closed speed control circuit receives a battery voltage input
from the Powertrain Control Module on a speed control supply circuit, and supplies this battery
voltage to the speed control servo solenoids (dump, vacuum, and vent) on a speed control brake
switch output circuit only when the speed control system is turned ON and the brake pedal is
released (brake lamp switch plunger is depressed).
The components of the self-adjusting brake switch plunger consist of a two-piece telescoping
plunger, a split plunger locking collar, and a release wedge. The release lever has a shaft with a
wedge that spreads the plunger locking collar to an open or released position. After the switch is
installed and the brake pedal is released, the plunger telescopes to the correct adjustment position.
When the release lever is moved to the release position, the wedge is disengaged from the locking
collar causing the collar to apply a clamping pressure to the two plunger halves, fixing the plunger
length.
The brake lamp switch as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the switch may be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information.

Combination Switch: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The multi-function switch (3) is located on the steering column, just below the steering wheel. The
only visible components of the multi-function switch are the control stalk (2) and control knob (1)
that extend through the steering column shrouds on the left side of the column, and the hazard
warning push button (4) that extends through the shroud on the top of the column. The remainder
of the switch including its mounting provisions, its electrical connection, and the turn signal cancel
actuator (5) are concealed beneath the shrouds.
The switch housing and controls are constructed of molded black plastic. Each of the switch
controls has white International Control and Display Symbol graphics applied to it, which clearly
identify its many functions. Three integral locating posts on the switch housing, one on the top and
two on the bottom, slide into channels in a receptacle on the left side of the multi-function switch
mounting housing near the top of the steering column to ensure proper positioning of the switch.
Then two screws secure the switch to the mounting housing. A single integral connector receptacle
containing four terminal pins on the back of the switch housing connects the switch to the vehicle
electrical system through a dedicated take out and connector of the instrument panel wire harness.
The multi-function switch provides the vehicle operator with a control interface for the following
functions:
- Hazard Warning Control - The multi-function switch hazard warning push button provides two
detent positions (ON and OFF) to control the hazard warning lamps.
Headlamp Beam Selection - The multi-function switch control stalk provides detent switching for
selection of the headlamp HIGH or LOW beams. There is also an intermediate momentary position
that allows the headlamp high beam circuits to be momentarily flashed to provide an optical horn
feature (sometimes referred to as flash-to-pass) as an optical signalling device.
- Turn Signal Control - The multi-function switch control stalk provides momentary non-detent (lane
change) switching or detent switching with automatic cancellation for both the left and right turn
signal lamps.
- Washer Control - The multi-function switch control knob provides a momentary WASH position for
washer system operation.
- Wiper Control - The multi-function switch control knob provides two continuous wipe switch
positions, LOW speed or HIGH speed; and an intermittent wipe mode with five delay interval
positions.
The multi-function switch cannot be adjusted or repaired. If any function of the switch is ineffective,
or if the switch is damaged, the entire switch must be replaced as a unit.

Combination Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The multi-function switch uses resistor multiplexing to control the many functions and features it
provides using only three hard wired output circuits. The switch receives a clean ground from the
ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN)
on a multi-function switch return circuit. It then provides outputs to the EMIC on a wash/beam
select switch signal circuit to control washer and headlamp beam selection, on an intermittent wiper
switch signal circuit to control wipers, and on a turn lamps switch signal circuit to control turn signal
and hazard warning functions.
The multi-function switch operates as follows:
- Hazard Warning Control - The hazard warning push button of the multi-function switch is
depressed to activate the hazard warning system, and depressed again to turn the system OFF.
When the push button is actuated, the multi-function switch provides an output to the EMIC, and
the EMIC responds by sending electronic hazard switch status messages to the Totally Integrated
Power Module (TIPM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus. The TIPM then energizes
and flashes or de-energizes both the left and right turn signal circuits to provide the visual hazard
warning.
- Headlamp Beam Selection - The control stalk of the multi-function switch is pulled towards the
steering wheel past a detent to actuate the integral beam select switch circuitry, or to an
intermediate, momentary position before the detent to actuate the optical horn feature. Each time
the control stalk is actuated to a detent position, the opposite headlamp beam from what is
currently selected will be energized. Each time the control stalk is actuated to the momentary
position with the headlamps turned OFF, the headlamp high beams will be illuminated for as long
as the control stalk is held in this position. The multi-function switch provides an output to the
EMIC, and the EMIC responds by sending electronic beam select switch status messages to the
TIPM over the CAN data bus. The TIPM energizes or de-energizes the selected LOW or HIGH
beam circuits.
- Turn Signal Control - The control stalk of the multi-function switch is moved upward to activate the
RIGHT turn signal circuitry, and, downward to activate the LEFT turn signal circuitry. The turn
signal switch has a detent position in each direction that provides turn signals with automatic
cancellation, and an intermediate, momentary position in each direction that automatically provides
three turn signal blinks as a LANE CHANGE feature when the control stalk is tapped or will
energize the turn signals for as long as the control stalk is held in the momentary position. When
the control stalk is moved to a detent turn signal switch position, the cancel actuator extends
toward the center of the steering column. A turn signal cancel cam that is integral to the clockspring
rotates with the steering wheel and the cam lobes contact the cancel actuator when it is extended
from the multi-function switch. When the steering wheel is rotated during a turning maneuver, one
of the two turn signal cancel cam lobes will contact the turn signal cancel actuator. The cancel
actuator latches against the cancel cam rotation in the direction opposite that which is signaled. If
the LEFT turn signal detent is selected, the lobes of the cancel cam will ratchet past the cancel
actuator when the steering wheel is rotated to the left, but will unlatch the cancel actuator as the
steering wheel rotates to the right and returns to center, which will cancel the turn signal event and
release the control stalk from the detent so it returns to the neutral OFF position. When a turn
signal is activated, the multi-function switch provides an output to the EMIC, and the EMIC
responds by sending electronic turn signal switch status messages to the TIPM over the CAN data
bus. The TIPM energizes and flashes or de-energizes the selected left or right turn signal circuits.
- Washer Control - The control knob on the end of the multi-function switch control stalk is
depressed towards the steering column to momentarily activate the washer pump in the WASH
mode. The washer pump will continue to operate in the washer mode until the control knob is
released. The multi-function switch provides an output to the EMIC, and the EMIC responds by
sending electronic washer switch status messages to the TIPM over the CAN data bus. The TIPM
responds by energizing or de-energizing the washer pump in the washer mode.
- Wiper Control - The control knob on the end of the multi-function switch control stalk is rotated to
one of the continuous wiper detents, to one of five intermittent wiper detents, or to the OFF position
to select the wiper mode. The multi-function switch provides an output to the EMIC, and the EMIC
responds by sending electronic wiper switch status messages to the TIPM over the CAN data bus.
The TIPM responds by energizing or de-energizing the wiper motor. The TIPM is programmed to
operate the wiper motor at the selected low or high continuous wipe speed, and to provide the
selected electronically controlled speed-sensitive intermittent wipe or wipe-after-wash mode
features.
The multi-function switch as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the switch may be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information.

Door Switch: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
This vehicle has up to four door ajar switches, one for each door. Each switch is concealed within
and integral to its respective door latch unit. The switches are momentary leaf contact-type units
that are actuated by the mechanisms internal to the door latch. A short pigtail wire and connector
on each door latch connects the door ajar switch to the vehicle electrical system through its
respective door wire harness.
The door ajar switches cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, the door latch
unit must be replaced. See: Body and Frame/Doors, Hood and Trunk/Doors/Front Door/Front Door

Door Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The door ajar switches are actuated by the mechanisms internal to the door latch. When a door is
closed and properly latched, its door ajar switch is an open circuit. When a door is open or only
partially latched, the door ajar switch is a closed circuit. The door ajar switches are hard wired in
series between a body ground and the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known
as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN).
The EMIC reads the hard wired door ajar switch inputs through internal pull-ups, then uses these
inputs to control many electronic functions and features of the vehicle. The EMIC also sends the
proper electronic door ajar switch status messages to other electronic modules in the vehicle over
the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
The door ajar switches as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the switches may be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information.

Headlamp Switch: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The headlamp switch (1) is located on the instrument panel, to the left of the steering column. Two
different switches are used. The standard switch features a three-position rotary knob (4) for
exterior lighting control, a thumbwheel (2) for panel lamps dimming and interior lighting control, and
a momentary push button (3) for cargo lamp control. An optional switch has a momentary PUSH
function added to the rotary knob for front fog lamp control.
Each of these switches is constructed of molded plastic. The rotary knob is molded plastic and
knurled around its circumference to ease operator control. The thumbwheel is also plastic and
knurled. On vehicles with optional fog lamps the rotary knob also has the text PUSH and an
International Control and Display Symbol icon for Front Fog Light applied to it. The cargo lamp
push button is plastic with a smooth finish and the text CARGO applied to it. The switch face plate
is also labeled with graphics and icons to clearly identify the many functions of the rotary knob and
thumbwheel.
Three screws secure the switch to the back of the cluster bezel through integral mounting flanges
that are molded to each side of the switch housing. The back of the switch housing has an integral
connector receptacle containing terminal pins that connect the switch to the vehicle electrical
system through a dedicated take out and connector of the instrument panel wire harness. A panel
dimmer controlled incandescent bulb soldered to the circuit board within the switch provides back
lighting for visibility at night, but is not serviceable.
The headlamp switch cannot be repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, it must be replaced.

Headlamp Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The headlamp switch uses two resistor multiplexed outputs and one conventional output to control
the many functions and features it provides. The switch receives a clean ground from the
ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN)
on a headlamp switch return circuit. It then provides outputs to the EMIC on a headlamp switch
signal circuit to control exterior lighting functions, on a panel lamps dimmer signal circuit to control
panel dimmer and interior lighting functions, and on a cargo lamp return circuit to control the cargo
lamps.
The switch illumination circuit receives a path to ground at all times through the left instrument
panel ground circuit. The illumination level is controlled by a Pulse-Width Modulated (PWM) output
received from the EMIC on a headlamp switch illumination control circuit. The EMIC controls this
output based upon the dimmer signal select mux input from the headlamp switch.
The headlamp switch operates as follows:
- Cargo Lamps Control - The cargo lamp push button on the headlamp switch is depressed to
activate or deactivate the cargo lamps. The headlamp switch provides an output to the EMIC, and
the EMIC responds by providing the appropriate cargo lighting control outputs through its internal
cargo lamp driver circuit.
Front Fog Lamps Control - For vehicles so equipped, the rotary knob on the headlamp switch is
depressed to activate or deactivate the optional front fog lamps. The headlamp switch provides an
output to the EMIC, and the EMIC responds by sending electronic fog lamp switch status
messages to the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN)
data bus. The TIPM responds by energizing or de-energizing the front fog lamps and by sending an
electronic message back to the EMIC to control the front fog lamp indicator.
- Exterior Lighting Control - The rotary knob on the headlamp switch is rotated to a detent position
to activate or deactivate the exterior lighting. The headlamp switch provides an output to the EMIC,
and the EMIC responds by sending electronic exterior lighting switch status messages to the TIPM
over the CAN data bus. The TIPM responds by energizing or de-energizing the park lamp and the
high or low beam headlamp circuits, and by sending an electronic message back to the EMIC to
control the high beam indicator. The TIPM also remembers which headlamp beams were last
selected with the multi-function switch, and energizes those beams by default the next time the
headlamps are turned ON.
- Interior Lighting Control - The thumbwheel on the headlamp switch is rotated to the dome
DEFEAT, dome ON, PARADE mode, or one of the six panel dimmer detent positions to control the
interior courtesy/dome and panel lamps. The headlamp switch provides an output to the EMIC, and
the EMIC responds by providing the appropriate interior lighting control outputs through its internal
courtesy lamp driver circuits, electronic dimming level messages to other modules over the CAN
data bus, and the proper PWM outputs to control dimming levels through several panel dimmer
illumination control driver circuits.
The headlamp switch as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the switch may be diagnosed
using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DESCRIPTION - HOW TO USE WIRING DIAGRAMS
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the
vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the
page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page.
All switches, components, and modules are shown in the at rest position with the doors closed and
the key removed from the ignition.
Components are shown two ways. A solid line around a component indicates that the component is
complete. A dashed line around the component indicates that the component is being shown is not
complete. Incomplete components have a reference number to indicate the page where the
component is shown complete.
It is important to realize that no attempt is made on the diagrams to represent components and
wiring as they appear on the vehicle. For example, a short piece of wire is treated the same as a
long one. In addition, switches and other components are shown as simply as possible, with regard
to function only.

DESCRIPTION - CONNECTOR, GROUND AND SPLICE INFORMATION
CAUTION: Not all connectors are serviced. Some connectors are serviced only with a harness. A
typical example might be the Supplemental Restraint System connectors. Always check parts
availability before attempting a repair.
IDENTIFICATION
In-line connectors are identified by a number, as follows:
- In-line connectors located in the engine compartment are C100 series numbers.
- In-line connectors located in the instrument panel area are C200 series numbers.
- In-line connectors located in the body are C300 series numbers.
- Jumper harness connectors are C400 series numbers.
- Grounds and ground connectors are identified with a "G" and follow the same series numbering
as the in-line connectors.
- Splices are identified with an "S" and follow the same series numbering as the in-line connectors.
In addition, S001-S099 numbers are located in the engine compartment.
- Component connectors are identified by the component name instead of a number. Multiple
connectors on a component use a C1, C2, etc. identifier.
LOCATIONS

Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: Never use a jumper wire across a load, such as a motor, connected between a battery
feed and ground.
- Voltmeter - Used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black lead to a known good
ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
- Ohmmeter - Used to check the resistance between two points of a circuit. Low or no resistance in
a circuit means good continuity.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicles are Solid State. When
checking resistance in these circuits use a meter with a 10 - megohm or greater impedance rating.
In addition, make sure the power is disconnected from the circuit. Circuits that are powered up by
the vehicle's electrical system can cause damage to the equipment and provide false readings.

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Trailer Lamps > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 15190
- Probing Tools - These tools are used for probing terminals in connectors. Select the proper size
tool from Special Tool Package 6807, and insert the probing end (2) into the terminal being tested.
Use the other end of the tool (1) to insert the meter probe.
INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent electrical problems are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. It is also
possible for a sticking component or relay to cause a problem. Before condemning a component or
wiring assembly, check the following items.
- Connectors are fully seated
- Spread terminals, or terminal push out
- Terminals in the wiring assembly are fully seated into the connector/component and locked into
position
- Dirt or corrosion on the terminals. Any amount of corrosion or dirt could cause an intermittent
problem
- Damaged connector/component casing exposing the item to dirt or moisture
- Wire insulation that has rubbed through causing a short to ground
- Some or all of the wiring strands broken inside of the insulation
- Wiring broken inside of the insulation
TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are six steps which can aid in the procedure. The
steps are listed and explained below. Always check for non-factory items added to the vehicle
before doing any diagnosis. If the vehicle is equipped with these items, disconnect them to verify
these add-on items are not the cause of the problem.
1. Verify the problem. 2. Verify any related symptoms. Do this by performing operational checks on
components that are in the same circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams. 3. Analyze the symptoms.
Use the wiring diagrams to determine what the circuit is doing, where the problem most likely is
occurring and where the
diagnosis will continue.
4. Isolate the problem area. 5. Repair the problem area. 6. Verify the proper operation. For this
step, check for proper operation of all items on the repaired circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams.

Combination Switch: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The multi-function switch (3) is located on the steering column, just below the steering wheel. The
only visible components of the multi-function switch are the control stalk (2) and control knob (1)
that extend through the steering column shrouds on the left side of the column, and the hazard
warning push button (4) that extends through the shroud on the top of the column. The remainder
of the switch including its mounting provisions, its electrical connection, and the turn signal cancel
actuator (5) are concealed beneath the shrouds.
The switch housing and controls are constructed of molded black plastic. Each of the switch
controls has white International Control and Display Symbol graphics applied to it, which clearly
identify its many functions. Three integral locating posts on the switch housing, one on the top and
two on the bottom, slide into channels in a receptacle on the left side of the multi-function switch
mounting housing near the top of the steering column to ensure proper positioning of the switch.
Then two screws secure the switch to the mounting housing. A single integral connector receptacle
containing four terminal pins on the back of the switch housing connects the switch to the vehicle
electrical system through a dedicated take out and connector of the instrument panel wire harness.
The multi-function switch provides the vehicle operator with a control interface for the following
functions:
- Hazard Warning Control - The multi-function switch hazard warning push button provides two
detent positions (ON and OFF) to control the hazard warning lamps.
Headlamp Beam Selection - The multi-function switch control stalk provides detent switching for
selection of the headlamp HIGH or LOW beams. There is also an intermediate momentary position
that allows the headlamp high beam circuits to be momentarily flashed to provide an optical horn
feature (sometimes referred to as flash-to-pass) as an optical signalling device.
- Turn Signal Control - The multi-function switch control stalk provides momentary non-detent (lane
change) switching or detent switching with automatic cancellation for both the left and right turn
signal lamps.
- Washer Control - The multi-function switch control knob provides a momentary WASH position for
washer system operation.
- Wiper Control - The multi-function switch control knob provides two continuous wipe switch
positions, LOW speed or HIGH speed; and an intermittent wipe mode with five delay interval
positions.
The multi-function switch cannot be adjusted or repaired. If any function of the switch is ineffective,
or if the switch is damaged, the entire switch must be replaced as a unit.

Combination Switch: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The multi-function switch uses resistor multiplexing to control the many functions and features it
provides using only three hard wired output circuits. The switch receives a clean ground from the
ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment Node/CCN)
on a multi-function switch return circuit. It then provides outputs to the EMIC on a wash/beam
select switch signal circuit to control washer and headlamp beam selection, on an intermittent wiper
switch signal circuit to control wipers, and on a turn lamps switch signal circuit to control turn signal
and hazard warning functions.
The multi-function switch operates as follows:
- Hazard Warning Control - The hazard warning push button of the multi-function switch is
depressed to activate the hazard warning system, and depressed again to turn the system OFF.
When the push button is actuated, the multi-function switch provides an output to the EMIC, and
the EMIC responds by sending electronic hazard switch status messages to the Totally Integrated
Power Module (TIPM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus. The TIPM then energizes
and flashes or de-energizes both the left and right turn signal circuits to provide the visual hazard
warning.
- Headlamp Beam Selection - The control stalk of the multi-function switch is pulled towards the
steering wheel past a detent to actuate the integral beam select switch circuitry, or to an
intermediate, momentary position before the detent to actuate the optical horn feature. Each time
the control stalk is actuated to a detent position, the opposite headlamp beam from what is
currently selected will be energized. Each time the control stalk is actuated to the momentary
position with the headlamps turned OFF, the headlamp high beams will be illuminated for as long
as the control stalk is held in this position. The multi-function switch provides an output to the
EMIC, and the EMIC responds by sending electronic beam select switch status messages to the
TIPM over the CAN data bus. The TIPM energizes or de-energizes the selected LOW or HIGH
beam circuits.
- Turn Signal Control - The control stalk of the multi-function switch is moved upward to activate the
RIGHT turn signal circuitry, and, downward to activate the LEFT turn signal circuitry. The turn
signal switch has a detent position in each direction that provides turn signals with automatic
cancellation, and an intermediate, momentary position in each direction that automatically provides
three turn signal blinks as a LANE CHANGE feature when the control stalk is tapped or will
energize the turn signals for as long as the control stalk is held in the momentary position. When
the control stalk is moved to a detent turn signal switch position, the cancel actuator extends
toward the center of the steering column. A turn signal cancel cam that is integral to the clockspring
rotates with the steering wheel and the cam lobes contact the cancel actuator when it is extended
from the multi-function switch. When the steering wheel is rotated during a turning maneuver, one
of the two turn signal cancel cam lobes will contact the turn signal cancel actuator. The cancel
actuator latches against the cancel cam rotation in the direction opposite that which is signaled. If
the LEFT turn signal detent is selected, the lobes of the cancel cam will ratchet past the cancel
actuator when the steering wheel is rotated to the left, but will unlatch the cancel actuator as the
steering wheel rotates to the right and returns to center, which will cancel the turn signal event and
release the control stalk from the detent so it returns to the neutral OFF position. When a turn
signal is activated, the multi-function switch provides an output to the EMIC, and the EMIC
responds by sending electronic turn signal switch status messages to the TIPM over the CAN data
bus. The TIPM energizes and flashes or de-energizes the selected left or right turn signal circuits.
- Washer Control - The control knob on the end of the multi-function switch control stalk is
depressed towards the steering column to momentarily activate the washer pump in the WASH
mode. The washer pump will continue to operate in the washer mode until the control knob is
released. The multi-function switch provides an output to the EMIC, and the EMIC responds by
sending electronic washer switch status messages to the TIPM over the CAN data bus. The TIPM
responds by energizing or de-energizing the washer pump in the washer mode.
- Wiper Control - The control knob on the end of the multi-function switch control stalk is rotated to
one of the continuous wiper detents, to one of five intermittent wiper detents, or to the OFF position
to select the wiper mode. The multi-function switch provides an output to the EMIC, and the EMIC
responds by sending electronic wiper switch status messages to the TIPM over the CAN data bus.
The TIPM responds by energizing or de-energizing the wiper motor. The TIPM is programmed to
operate the wiper motor at the selected low or high continuous wipe speed, and to provide the
selected electronically controlled speed-sensitive intermittent wipe or wipe-after-wash mode
features.
The multi-function switch as well as the hard wired inputs and outputs of the switch may be
diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. Refer to the appropriate wiring
information.

Turn Signal Indicator: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
Two turn signal indicators, one right and one left, are standard equipment on all instrument
clusters. The turn signal indicators are located near the upper edge of the instrument cluster, the
left indicator to the left of the tachometer and the right indicator to the right of the speedometer.
Each turn signal indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the International Control and Display
Symbol icon for Turn Warning in the opaque layer of the instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer
layer of the overlay prevents these indicators from being clearly visible when they are not
illuminated. A green Light Emitting Diode (LED) behind each cutout in the opaque layer of the
overlay causes each indicator to appear in green through the translucent outer layer of the overlay
when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the instrument cluster
electronic circuit board.
The turn signal indicators are serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.

Turn Signal Indicator: Description and Operation Operation
OPERATION
The turn signal indicators give an indication to the vehicle operator that the turn signal (left or right
indicator flashing) or hazard warning (both left and right indicators flashing) have been selected
and are operating. These indicators are controlled by transistors on the instrument cluster
electronic circuit board based upon cluster programming, a hard wired multiplex input received by
the cluster from the turn signal and hazard warning switch circuitry of the multi-function switch on
the turn/hazard switch mux circuit, and electronic messages received from the Totally Integrated
Power Module (TIPM) over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus.
Each turn signal indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) is completely controlled by the instrument
cluster logic circuit, and that logic will allow this indicator to operate whenever the instrument
cluster receives a battery current input on the fused B(+) circuit. Therefore, each LED can be
illuminated regardless of the ignition switch position. The LED only illuminates when it is provided a
path to ground by the instrument cluster transistor. The instrument cluster will turn ON the turn
signal indicators for the following reasons:
- Turn Signal-On Input - Each time the cluster detects a turn signal-ON input from the turn signal
switch circuitry of the multi-function switch on the turn/hazard switch mux circuit, it sends the
appropriate electronic turn signal switch status messages to the TIPM over the CAN data bus. The
TIPM responds to these messages by controlling a battery voltage output and the flash rate for
either the right or left turn signal lamps. The TIPM also sends the appropriate electronic messages
back to the cluster to control the flash rate of the turn signal indicators, as well as to control the
click rate of an electromechanical relay soldered onto the cluster electronic circuit board that
emulates the sound emitted by a conventional turn signal flasher. The turn signal indicators
continue to flash ON and OFF until the cluster receives a turn signal-OFF input from the
multi-function switch, or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs
first.
- Hazard Warning-On Input - Each time the cluster detects a hazard warning-ON input from the
hazard warning switch circuitry of the multi-function switch on the turn/hazard switch mux circuit, it
sends the appropriate electronic hazard switch status messages to the TIPM over the CAN data
bus. The TIPM responds to these messages by controlling a battery voltage output and the flash
rate for each of the right and left turn signal lamps. The TIPM also sends the appropriate electronic
messages back to the cluster to control the flash rate of the turn signal indicators , as well as to
control the click rate of an electromechanical relay soldered onto the cluster electronic circuit board
that emulates the sound emitted by a conventional hazard warning flasher. The turn signal
indicators continue to flash ON and OFF until the cluster receives a hazard warning-OFF input from
the multi-function switch.
- Lamp Out Mode - If the TIPM detects an ineffective turn signal lamp or circuit, it increases the
flash rate for the remaining operative turn signals and sends an electronic message to the
instrument cluster. The instrument cluster then increases the flash rate of the turn signal indicators
and the click rate of the electromechanical relay to provide an indication of the problem to the
vehicle operator.
- Actuator Test - Each time the cluster is put through the actuator test, the turn signal indicators will
be turned ON, then OFF again during the bulb check portion of the test to confirm the functionality
of each LED and the cluster control circuitry.
The ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) (also known as the Cab Compartment
Node/CCN) continually monitors the multi-function switch and electronic messages from the TIPM
to determine the proper turn signal and hazard warning indicator operation. For further diagnosis of
the turn signal indicators or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the indicators, Refer to
appropriate testing.
For proper diagnosis of the turn signal and hazard warning system, the multi-function switch, the
TIPM, the EMIC, the CAN data bus or the electronic communication related to turn signal indicator
operation a diagnostic scan tool is required. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

activated, the switch sends a request signal to the to the totally integrated power module (TIPM) to
energize the internal EBL high side driver to provide battery current to the rear window defogger
grid lines and to the heated side view mirrors.
NOTE: The EBL system turns off automatically after 15 minutes of initial operation. Each following
activation cycle of the EBL system will last 10 minutes.
The EBL system will be automatically turned off after an initial programmed time interval of about
15 minutes, as long as the ignition switch is in RUN. After the initial time interval has expired, if the
rear window defogger switch is pressed to ON again during the same ignition cycle, the EBL
system will automatically turn off after about 10 minutes. The EBL system will automatically shut off
if the ignition switch is turned to any position other than RUN, or it can be turned off manually by
pressing the rear window defogger switch a second time.
The rear window defogger switch is diagnosed using a scan tool.
The rear window defogger switch and the rear window defogger indicator cannot be repaired and
the A/C-heater control must be replaced if found inoperative or damaged See: Heating and Air
Conditioning/Control Assembly/Service and Repair/A/C Heater Control - Removal .

Heated Glass Element Switch: Description and Operation Description
DESCRIPTION
The switch for the rear window defogger (EBL) system (1) is integrated into the A/C-heater control
(2), which is located in the center of the instrument panel. When the rear window defogger switch is
pressed to ON, a request signal is sent on the CAN-B Bus to the totally integrated power module
(TIPM) to operate the EBL system.
When the high side driver in the totally integrated power module (TIPM) is energized, current is
directed to the rear defogger grid lines and to the heated side view mirrors. The grid lines heat the
glass to help clear the surface of fog or frost.

Power Window Switch: Testing and Inspection
WINDOW SWITCH
The Light-Emitting Diode (LED) illumination lamps for all of the power window and lock switch and
bezel unit switch paddles receive battery current through the power window circuit breaker in the
junction block. If all of the LEDs are inoperative in both the power window and lock switch units and
the power windows are inoperative. See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control
Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code Tests and Associated Procedures If the
power windows operate, but any or all of the LEDs are inoperative, the power window and lock
switch units with the inoperative LED(s) is faulty and must be replaced. For complete circuit
diagrams, refer to the appropriate wiring information.
1. Check the fuse in the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) and the circuit breaker located
near the park brake pedal. If OK, go to STEP 2. If
not OK, replace the faulty fuse or circuit breaker.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the On position. Check for battery voltage at the fuse in the Totally
Integrated Power Module (TIPM). If OK, turn the
ignition switch to the Off position and go to STEP 3. If not OK, check circuit breaker and repair the
circuit to the ignition switch as required.
3. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable. Remove the power window switch unit from
the door trim panel (passenger doors). The drivers
door switch is included with the window/lock switch See: Body and Frame/Locks/Power
Locks/Power Door Lock Switch/Testing and Inspection/Diagnosis and Testing for service
procedures. Unplug the wire harness connector from the switch unit.
4. Test the power window switch continuity. See the Power Window Switch Continuity charts to
determine if the continuity is correct in the Off, Up
and Down switch positions. If OK, See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control
Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code Tests and Associated Procedures . If not
OK, replace the faulty switch.

Power Window Switch: Testing and Inspection
WINDOW SWITCH
The Light-Emitting Diode (LED) illumination lamps for all of the power window and lock switch and
bezel unit switch paddles receive battery current through the power window circuit breaker in the
junction block. If all of the LEDs are inoperative in both the power window and lock switch units and
the power windows are inoperative. See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control
Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code Tests and Associated Procedures If the
power windows operate, but any or all of the LEDs are inoperative, the power window and lock
switch units with the inoperative LED(s) is faulty and must be replaced. For complete circuit
diagrams, refer to the appropriate wiring information.
1. Check the fuse in the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) and the circuit breaker located
near the park brake pedal. If OK, go to STEP 2. If
not OK, replace the faulty fuse or circuit breaker.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the On position. Check for battery voltage at the fuse in the Totally
Integrated Power Module (TIPM). If OK, turn the
ignition switch to the Off position and go to STEP 3. If not OK, check circuit breaker and repair the
circuit to the ignition switch as required.
3. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable. Remove the power window switch unit from
the door trim panel (passenger doors). The drivers
door switch is included with the window/lock switch See: Body and Frame/Locks/Power
Locks/Power Door Lock Switch/Testing and Inspection/Diagnosis and Testing for service
procedures. Unplug the wire harness connector from the switch unit.
4. Test the power window switch continuity. See the Power Window Switch Continuity charts to
determine if the continuity is correct in the Off, Up
and Down switch positions. If OK, See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control
Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code Tests and Associated Procedures . If not
OK, replace the faulty switch.

Back Window Glass: Service and Repair Backlite
Removal
REMOVAL
CAUTION: It is difficult to salvage the backlite during the removal operation. The backlite is part of
the structural support for the roof. The urethane bonding used to secure the glass to the fence is
difficult to cut or clean from any surface. Since the molding is set in urethane, it is unlikely it would
be salvaged. Before removing the backlite, check the availability from the parts supplier.
