ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM CONTROL MODULE

ABS uses a Controller Anti-Lock Brake (CAB) module. CAB module monitors wheel speeds to modulate hydraulic pressure in each brake channel, when ABS or traction control are activated to prevent wheel lock-up under severe conditions to provide improved vehicle control. CAB module communicates with other modules via Programmable Communication Interface (PCI) bus circuit. For additional information on ABS, see appropriate ANTI-LOCK article in BRAKES.

CENTRAL TIMER MODULE

Central Timer Module (CTM), controls air bag, chime, courtesy lights, illuminated entry, power door locks, remote keyless entry, speed sensitive intermittent wipers and vehicle theft security system. Module is located to right side of steering column, behind knee bolster.

CHIME

Chime system is built into CTM. System also supports external chime requests from instrument cluster. There are 2 chime rates: 50 chimes per minute for reminders, and 180 chimes a minute for serious conditions that require immediate attention.

CHRYSLER COLLISION DETECTION BUS SYSTEM

Chrysler Collision Detection (CCD) bus is a pair of twisted wires traveling from module to module receiving and delivering coded information. Code identifies message and its importance. When multiple messages attempt to access CCD bus at once, code assigns priority ranking.

CCD bus uses a 2 wire network to communicate with modules. The 2 twisted wires used by CCD bus system are called bus "+" (positive) and bus "-" (negative). Both wires carry approximately 2.5 volts. Network consists of some modules with "bias" and some with "termination".

Bias is part of voltage divider network which places both bus "+" and bus "-" at 2.5 volts. Termination is part of circuitry required to complete voltage divider network and also provide some electromagnetic protection for CCD bus. Terminations in all CCD applications have approximately 120 ohms resistance.

COMPASS/MINI-TRIP COMPUTER

Compass/Mini-Trip Computer (CMTC) is located in overhead console. This display provides a digital readout of ambient temperature, 8 primary compass readings to indicate direction vehicle is facing, trip odometer that indicates distance traveled and fuel economy function that shows distance to empty and miles per gallon.

HEATED SEAT

Optional leather covered heated seats are available. Heated seat components include: instrument panel mounted switches with instrument panel illumination and indicator LEDs, Seat Heat Interface Module (SHIM), leather seat cover mounted heating elements with sensors and heated seat relay. Driver and passenger can select off, low or high heating for each seat. Low temperature is about 97°F (36°C), high temperature is about 108°F (42°C). Central timer module energizes heated seat relay to allow operation only when engine is running. SHIM monitors system and will flash indicators to report failures.

ENHANCED ACCIDENT RESPONSE

Enhanced accident response is included in high-line CTM only. After CTM is notified of air bag deployment, door locks will unlock and lock function will be disabled for a predetermined time, and courtesy lights will turn on 10 seconds after CTM is notified that vehicle has stopped. This is dependent on battery power, intact wiring and an operating CTM.

ILLUMINATION

Ignition switch halo light and courtesy lights are controlled by CTM. High-line CTM also controls illuminated entry when RKE is used. If door is left open or dome light switch is left on, CTM will turn off interior lights after 15 minutes.

MECHANICAL INSTRUMENT CLUSTER

Mechanical Instrument Cluster (MIC) includes speedometer, tachometer, fuel gauge, oil pressure gauge, water temperature gauge, voltmeter, Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) and a series of warning lights.

Powertrain Control Module (PCM) sends signals necessary for cluster to position gauges. Cluster receives these messages from CCD bus and translates them into gauge positions. CTM sends status of all indicator lights and dimming level to instrument cluster over CCD bus when ignition switch is in RUN or START position. Malfunction (CHECK ENGINE) indicator light status is sent to CTM from PCM over CCD bus. VFD odometer/trip display works when ignition switch is in RUN or START position. CTM stores mileage information that odometer displays. If CCD bus is not functioning, odometer will display dashes instead of mileage numbers. CTM sends mileage message and dimming level message to VFD when ignition is switch in ON position. All other instrument cluster features only work when ignition switch is in RUN position.

REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY

Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system works in conjunction with Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS). RKE will store up to 4 key fob codes on models with VTSS and 2 key fob codes on models without VTSS. When lock/unlock button is pressed on RKE transmitter, RKE system tells VTSS to disarm.

SPEED SENSITIVE INTERMITTENT WIPERS

Speed sensitive intermittent wipers are controlled by CTM using intermittent wiper relay, and are included in high-line CTM only. At vehicle speeds of 10 MPH or less, delay time range is 1-36 seconds. At vehicle speeds more than 10 MPH, delay time is halfed. Speed information is supplied by PCM on CCD bus.

VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY SYSTEM

Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS) monitors vehicle doors, hood and ignition for unauthorized operation/entry. When alarm is triggered, horn will sound for 3 minutes and parking lights will flash for 15 minutes.

When an unauthorized entry into vehicle occurs, VTSS module signals Powertrain Control Module (PCM) via CCD bus that it is not okay to start engine. PCM then "zeros out" pulse width of fuel injectors, thus preventing engine from starting. Engine will NOT start until VTSS is disarmed.

Manual Override Mode & Tamper Alert Mode

VTSS will not arm if doors are locked using key or manual lock control (manual override mode). If horn sounds 3 times when either front door is unlocked, alarm was activated/triggered (tamper alert mode).

PROGRAMMING

CAUTIONWhen battery is disconnected, vehicle computer and memory systems may lose memory data. Driveability problems may exist until computer systems have completed a relearn cycle. See COMPUTER RELEARN PROCEDURES article in GENERAL INFORMATION before disconnecting battery.

Note. Programming procedures are written specifically for Chrysler's Diagnostic Readout Box (DRBIII®) scan tool. A generic scan tool may not be capable of performing all necessary functions.

Turn ignition on for at least 15 seconds (to learn VIN). On vehicles equipped with Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS), use scan tool to enable VTSS. Using scan tool, program all other options as necessary.

Compass Variance

Perform variance with vehicle headed within 45 degrees of directly north or south. Vehicle can be moving or stationary. Ensure compass/temperature is displayed. Turn ignition on. Press US/M and STEP buttons for more than 100 milliseconds, but not more than one second. Compass will display VAR and current variance. Within the next 5 seconds, momentarily depress and release US/M button. Variance zone will be set and normal operation will resume. If display flashes VAR twice before resuming normal operation, new variance was not accepted. Reposition vehicle toward north or south, and repeat procedure.

If new Mechanical Instrument Cluster (MIC) is installed, optional equipment indicators must be programmed. Activate or deactivate cruise-on indicator, overdrive off indicator, transmission oil temperature warning light and upshift indicator. Instrument cluster is programmed using scan tool. Follow scan tool directions.

POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE

Note. If Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is replaced, correct vehicle mileage and Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) must be programmed into PCM to prevent DTCs from being set in Controller Anti-Lock Brake (CAB) module and Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) module.

  1. To program PCM and clear DTCs from ABS and SRS modules, connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC). DLC is located below driver's side of instrument panel. Turn ignition on.
  2. Using scan tool, enter correct VIN and mileage into PCM. Using scan tool manufacturer's instructions, clear DTCs from ABS and SRS modules.
  3. Attempt to start vehicle. If vehicle starts and stays running, system is operating correctly and repair is complete. If vehicle does not start or stay running, repair by symptom. See appropriate TROUBLE SHOOTING - NO CODES article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE.

System will store up to 4 key fob codes. If a fob is lost or stolen, all codes can be erased. RKE system is programmed using scan tool. Follow scan tool directions.

REMOTE TRANSMITTER

Connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC). Following scan tool manufacturer's instructions to program remote transmitter.

Initialization & Verification

An initialization procedure, included in VTSS, requires that vehicle record 20 engine cranking cycles before allowing VTSS module to function. For this reason, VTSS requires verification. To verify VTSS, perform the following: open driver's door (all others closed), remove ignition key, lock doors with power door lock switch and close driver's door. If VTSS SET light flashes, system is armed and operational. If VTSS SET light does not flash, 20 engine cranking cycles have not occurred or there is a problem with VTSS.

SYSTEM TESTS

CAUTIONAlways turn ignition switch to OFF position prior to disconnecting any module connector.

Note. For connector terminal identification, see COMPONENT LOCATIONS . For wiring identification, see WIRING DIAGRAMS . Perform BODY VERIFICATION under VERIFICATION TESTS after each repair.
