COOLANT PERFORMANCE
The requi red ethyl ene-gl ycol (anti freeze) and water
mi xture depends upon cl i mate and vehi cl e operati ng
condi ti ons. The cool ant performance of vari ous mi x-

Pure Water-Water can absorb more heat than a
mi xture of water and ethyl ene-gl ycol . Thi s i s for pur-
pose of heat transfer onl y. Water al so freezes at a

Do not tow a vehi cl e i n a manner that coul d
jeopardi ze the safety of the operator, pedestri ans or
other motori sts.
Do not attach tow chai ns, T-hooks, J-hooks, or a
tow sl i ng to a bumper, steeri ng l i nkage, dri ve shafts
or a non-rei nforced frame hol e.
Do not tow a heavi l y l oaded vehi cl e. Damage to
the cab, cargo box or frame may resul t. Use a fl atbed
devi ce to transport a l oaded vehi cl e.
GROUND CLEARANCE
CAUTION: If vehicle is towed with wheels removed,
install lug nuts to retain brake drums or rotors.
A towed vehi cl e shoul d be rai sed unti l l i fted wheel s
are a mi ni mum 100 mm (4 i n) from the ground. Be
sure there i s adequate ground cl earance at the oppo-
si te end of the vehi cl e, especi al l y when towi ng over
rough terrai n or steep ri ses i n the road. I f necessary,
remove the wheel s from the l i fted end of the vehi cl e
and l ower the vehi cl e cl oser to the ground, to
i ncrease the ground cl earance at the opposi te end of
the vehi cl e. I nstal l l ug nuts on wheel attachi ng studs
to retai n brake drums or rotors.
RAMP ANGLE
I f a vehi cl e wi th fl at-bed towi ng equi pment i s used,
the approach ramp angl e shoul d not exceed 15
degrees.
TOWING WHEN KEYS ARE NOT AVAILABLE
When the vehi cl e i s l ocked and keys are not avai l -
abl e, use a fl at bed haul er. A Wheel -l i ft or Sl i ng-type
devi ce can be used on 4WD vehi cl es provi ded all the
wheels are lifted off the ground using tow dol-
lies.
FOUR-WHEEL-DRIVE VEHICLE TOWING
Chrysl er Corporati on recommends that a vehi cl e be
transported on a fl at-bed devi ce. A Wheel -l i ft or
Sl i ng-type devi ce can be used provi ded all the
wheels are lifted off the ground using tow dol-
lies.
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 (AUTO-
MATIC 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 vehi-
cle or a flat-bed hauling vehicle is recommended.

cle 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.

l i nkage adjustments. An al i gnment i s consi dered
essenti al for effi ci ent steeri ng, good di recti onal stabi l -

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - SHOCK
A knocki ng or rattl i ng noi se from a shock absorber
may be caused by movement between mounti ng
bushi ngs and metal brackets or attachi ng compo-
nents. These noi ses can usual l y be stopped by ti ght-
eni ng the attachi ng nuts. I f the noi se persi sts,
i nspect for damaged and worn bushi ngs, and attach-
i ng components. Repai r as necessary i f any of these
condi ti ons exi st.
A squeaki ng noi se from the shock absorber may be
caused by the hydraul i c val vi ng and may be i ntermi t-
tent. Thi s condi ti on i s not repai rabl e and the shock
absorber must be repl aced.
The shock absorbers are not refi l l abl e or adjust-
abl e. I f a mal functi on occurs, the shock absorber
must be repl aced. To test a shock absorber, hol d i t i n
an upri ght posi ti on and force the pi ston i n and out of
the cyl i nder four or fi ve ti mes. The acti on throughout
each stroke shoul d be smooth and even.
The shock absorber bushi ngs do not requi re any
type of l ubri cati on. Do not attempt to stop bushi ng
noi se by l ubri cati ng them. Grease and mi neral oi l -

SHOCK
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - SHOCK
A knocki ng or rattl i ng noi se from a shock absorber
may be caused by movement between mounti ng
bushi ngs and metal brackets or attachi ng compo-
nents. These noi ses can usual l y be stopped by ti ght-
eni ng the attachi ng nuts. I f the noi se persi sts,
i nspect for damaged and worn bushi ngs, and attach-
i ng components. Repai r as necessary i f any of these
condi ti ons exi st.
A squeaki ng noi se from the shock absorber may be
caused by the hydraul i c val vi ng and may be i ntermi t-
tent. Thi s condi ti on i s not repai rabl e and the shock
absorber must be repl aced.
The shock absorbers are not refi l l abl e or adjust-
abl e. I f a mal functi on occurs, the shock absorber
must be repl aced. To test a shock absorber, hol d i t i n
an upri ght posi ti on and force the pi ston i n and out of
the cyl i nder four or fi ve ti mes. The acti on throughout
each stroke shoul d be smooth and even.
The shock absorber bushi ngs do not requi re any
type of l ubri cati on. Do not attempt to stop bushi ng
noi se by l ubri cati ng them. Grease and mi neral oi l -
base l ubri cants wi l l deteri orate the bushi ng.

CAUTION: A vehicle should always be loaded so
the vehicle weight center-line is located immedi-
ately forward of the rear axle. Correct vehicle load-
ing provides proper front tire-to-road contact. This
results in maximum vehicle handling stability and
safety. Incorrect vehicle weight distribution can
cause excessive tire tread wear, spring fatigue or
failure, and erratic steering.
CAUTION: Suspension components with rubber/ure-
thane bushings (except stabilizer bar) 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 bush-
ing wear may occur.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - SPRING AND
SHOCK
A knocki ng or rattl i ng noi se from a shock absorber
may be caused by movement between mounti ng
bushi ngs and metal brackets or attachi ng compo-
nents. These noi ses can usual l y be stopped by ti ght-
eni ng the attachi ng nuts. I f the noi se persi sts,
i nspect for damaged and worn bushi ngs, and attach-
i ng components. Repai r as necessary i f any of these
condi ti ons exi st.
A squeaki ng noi se from the shock absorber may be
caused by the hydraul i c val vi ng and may be i ntermi t-
tent. Thi s condi ti on i s not repai rabl e and the shock
absorber must be repl aced.
The shock absorbers are not refi l l abl e or adjust-
abl e. I f a mal functi on occurs, the shock absorber
must be repl aced. To test a shock absorber, hol d i t i n
an upri ght posi ti on and force the pi ston i n and out of
the cyl i nder four or fi ve ti mes. The acti on throughout
each stroke shoul d be smooth and even.
The spri ng eye and shock absorber bushi ngs do not
requi re any type of l ubri cati on. Do not attempt to
stop spri ng bushi ng noi se by l ubri cati ng them.
Grease and mi neral oi l -base l ubri cants wi l l deteri o-
rate the bushi ng rubber.
I f the vehi cl e i s used for severe, off-road operati on,
the spri ngs shoul d be exami ned peri odi cal l y. Check
for broken and shi fted l eafs, l oose and mi ssi ng cl i ps,
and broken center bol ts. Refer to Spri ng and Shock
Absorber Di agnosi s chart for addi ti onal i nformati on.

CAUTION
CAUTION:: Never grasp half shaft assembly by the
boots. This may cause the boot to pucker or crease
and reduce the service life of the boot.
Avoid over angulating or stroking the C/V joints
when handling the half shaft.
Half shafts exposed to battery acid, transmission
fluid, brake fluid, differential fluid or gasoline may
cause the boots to deteriorate. Failure to heed cau-
tion may result in damage.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
Check i nboard and outboard C/V joi nt for l eaki ng
grease. Thi s i s a si gn of boot or boot cl amp damage.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
GEAR NOISE
Axl e gear noi se can be caused by i nsuffi ci ent l ubri -
cant, i ncorrect backl ash, tooth contact, worn/damaged
gears or the carri er housi ng not havi ng the proper
offset and squareness.
Gear noi se usual l y happens at a speci fi c speed
range. The noi se can al so occur duri ng a speci fi c type
of dri vi ng condi ti on. These condi ti ons are accel era-
ti on, decel erati on, coast, or constant l oad.
When road testi ng, fi rst warm-up the axl e fl ui d by
dri vi ng the vehi cl e at l east 5 mi l es and then accel er-
ate the vehi cl e to the speed range where the noi se i s
the greatest. Shi ft out-of-gear and coast through the
peak-noi se range. I f the noi se stops or changes
greatl y check for:
I nsuffi ci ent l ubri cant.
I ncorrect ri ng gear backl ash.
Gear damage.
Di fferenti al si de gears and pi ni ons can be checked
by turni ng the vehi cl e. The si de gears are l oaded dur-
i ng turns. They usual l y do not cause noi se duri ng
strai ght-ahead dri vi ng when the gears are unl oaded.
A worn pi ni on mate shaft can al so cause a snappi ng
or a knocki ng noi se.
BEARING NOISE
The axl e shaft, di fferenti al and pi ni on beari ngs can
al l produce noi se when worn or damaged. Beari ng
noi se can be ei ther a whi ni ng, or a growl i ng sound.
Pinion bearings have a constant-pi tch noi se. Thi s
noi se changes onl y wi th vehi cl e speed. Pi ni on beari ng
noi se wi l l be hi gher pi tched because i t rotates at a
faster rate. Dri ve the vehi cl e and l oad the di fferen-
ti al . I f beari ng noi se occurs, the rear pi ni on beari ng
i s the source of the noi se. I f the beari ng noi se i s
heard duri ng a coast, the front pi ni on beari ng i s the
source.
Differential bearings usual l y produce a l ow pi tch
noi se. Di fferenti al beari ng noi se i s si mi l ar to pi ni on
beari ng noi se. The pi tch of di fferenti al beari ng noi se
i s al so constant and vari es onl y wi th vehi cl e speed.
Axle shaft bearings produce noi se and vi brati on
when worn or damaged. The noi se general l y changes
when the beari ngs are l oaded. Road test the vehi cl e.
Turn the vehi cl e sharpl y to the l eft and to the ri ght.
Thi s wi l l l oad the beari ngs and change the noi se
l evel . Where axl e beari ng damage i s sl i ght, the noi se
i s usual l y not noti ceabl e at speeds above 30 m.p.h.
LOW SPEED KNOCK
Low speed knock i s general l y caused by:
Worn U-joi nts/CV joi nt.
Worn si de-gear thrust washers.
Worn pi ni on shaft bore.
DR FRONT AXLE - C205F 3 - 27
VIBRATION
Vi brati on at the rear of the vehi cl e i s usual l y
caused by:
Damaged dri ve shaft.

Worn or out of bal ance wheel s.
Loose wheel l ug nuts.
Worn U-joi nt(s).
Loose/broken spri ngs.
Damaged axl e shaft beari ng(s).
Loose pi ni on gear nut.
Excessi ve pi ni on yoke run out.
Bent axl e shaft(s).
Check for l oose or damaged front end components
or engi ne/transmi ssi on mounts. These components
can contri bute to what appears to be a rear end
vi brati on. Do not overl ook engi ne accessori es, brack-
ets and dri ve bel ts.

before starti ng any repai r.
DRIVELINE SNAP
A snap or cl unk noi se when the vehi cl e i s shi fted
i nto gear (or the cl utch engaged) can be caused by:
Hi gh engi ne i dl e speed.
Transmi ssi on shi ft operati on.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
GEAR NOISE
Axl e gear noi se can be caused by i nsuffi ci ent l ubri -
cant, i ncorrect backl ash, tooth contact, worn/damaged
gears or the carri er housi ng not havi ng the proper
offset and squareness.
Gear noi se usual l y happens at a speci fi c speed
range. The noi se can al so occur duri ng a speci fi c type
of dri vi ng condi ti on. These condi ti ons are accel era-
ti on, decel erati on, coast, or constant l oad.
When road testi ng, fi rst warm-up the axl e fl ui d by
dri vi ng the vehi cl e at l east 5 mi l es and then accel er-
ate the vehi cl e to the speed range where the noi se i s
the greatest. Shi ft out-of-gear and coast through the
peak-noi se range. I f the noi se stops or changes
greatl y check for:
I nsuffi ci ent l ubri cant.
I ncorrect ri ng gear backl ash.
Gear damage.
Di fferenti al si de gears and pi ni ons can be checked
by turni ng the vehi cl e. The si de gears are l oaded dur-
i ng turns. They usual l y do not cause noi se duri ng
strai ght-ahead dri vi ng when the gears are unl oaded.
A worn pi ni on mate shaft can al so cause a snappi ng
or a knocki ng noi se.
BEARING NOISE
The axl e shaft, di fferenti al and pi ni on beari ngs can
al l produce noi se when worn or damaged. Beari ng
noi se can be ei ther a whi ni ng, or a growl i ng sound.
Pinion bearings have a constant-pi tch noi se. Thi s
noi se changes onl y wi th vehi cl e speed. Pi ni on beari ng
noi se wi l l be hi gher pi tched because i t rotates at a
faster rate. Dri ve the vehi cl e and l oad the di fferen-
ti al . I f beari ng noi se occurs, the rear pi ni on beari ng
i s the source of the noi se. I f the beari ng noi se i s
heard duri ng a coast, the front pi ni on beari ng i s the
source.
Differential bearings usual l y produce a l ow pi tch
noi se. Di fferenti al beari ng noi se i s si mi l ar to pi ni on
beari ng noi se. The pi tch of di fferenti al beari ng noi se
i s al so constant and vari es onl y wi th vehi cl e speed.
Axle shaft bearings produce noi se and vi brati on
when worn or damaged. The noi se general l y changes
when the beari ngs are l oaded. Road test the vehi cl e.
Turn the vehi cl e sharpl y to the l eft and to the ri ght.
Thi s wi l l l oad the beari ngs and change the noi se
l evel . Where axl e beari ng damage i s sl i ght, the noi se
i s usual l y not noti ceabl e at speeds above 30 m.p.h.
LOW SPEED KNOCK
Low speed knock i s general l y caused by:
Worn U-joi nt(s).
Worn si de-gear thrust washers.
Worn pi ni on shaft bore.
3 - 54 FRONT AXLE - 9 1/4 AA DR
VIBRATION
Vi brati on at the front/rear of the vehi cl e i s usual l y
caused by:
Damaged dri ve shaft.
Mi ssi ng dri ve shaft bal ance wei ght(s).
Worn or out of bal ance wheel s.
Loose wheel l ug nuts.
Worn U-joi nt(s).
Loose/broken spri ngs.
Damaged axl e shaft beari ng(s).
Loose pi ni on gear nut.
Excessi ve pi ni on yoke run out.
Bent axl e shaft(s).
Check for l oose or damaged front end components
or engi ne/transmi ssi on mounts. These components
can contri bute to what appears to be a vi brati on. Do
not overl ook engi ne accessori es, brackets and dri ve
bel ts.
DRIVELINE SNAP
A snap or cl unk noi se when the vehi cl e i s shi fted
i nto gear (or the cl utch engaged) can be caused by:
Hi gh engi ne i dl e speed.
Transmi ssi on shi ft operati on.
Loose engi ne/transmi ssi on/transfer case mounts.
Worn U-joi nts.
Loose spri ng mounts.
Loose pi ni on gear nut and yoke.
Excessi ve ri ng gear backl ash.
Excessi ve si de gear to case cl earance.
The source of a snap or a cl unk noi se can be deter-
mi ned wi th the assi stance of a hel per. Rai se the vehi -
cl e on a hoi st wi th the wheel s free to rotate. I nstruct
the hel per to shi ft the transmi ssi on i nto gear and l i s-
ten for the noi se. A mechani cs stethoscope i s hel pful

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
GEAR NOISE
Axl e gear noi se can be caused by i nsuffi ci ent l ubri -
cant, i ncorrect backl ash, i ncorrect pi ni on depth, tooth
contact, worn/damaged gears, or the carri er housi ng
not havi ng the proper offset and squareness.
Gear noi se usual l y happens at a speci fi c speed
range. The noi se can al so occur duri ng a speci fi c type
of dri vi ng condi ti on. These condi ti ons are accel era-
ti on, decel erati on, coast, or constant l oad.
When road testi ng, fi rst warm-up the axl e fl ui d by
dri vi ng the vehi cl e at l east 5 mi l es and then accel er-
ate the vehi cl e to the speed range where the noi se i s
the greatest. Shi ft out-of-gear and coast through the
peak-noi se range. I f the noi se stops or changes
greatl y check for:
I nsuffi ci ent l ubri cant.
I ncorrect ri ng gear backl ash.
Gear damage.
Di fferenti al si de gears and pi ni ons can be checked
by turni ng the vehi cl e. They usual l y do not cause
noi se duri ng strai ght-ahead dri vi ng when the gears
are unl oaded. The si de gears are l oaded duri ng vehi -
cl e turns. A worn pi ni on shaft can al so cause a snap-
pi ng or a knocki ng noi se.
BEARING NOISE
The axl e shaft, di fferenti al and pi ni on beari ngs can
al l produce noi se when worn or damaged. Beari ng
noi se can be ei ther a whi ni ng, or a growl i ng sound.
Pinion bearings have a constant-pi tch noi se. Thi s
noi se changes onl y wi th vehi cl e speed. Pi ni on beari ng
noi se wi l l be hi gher pi tched because i t rotates at a
faster rate. Dri ve the vehi cl e and l oad the di fferen-
ti al . I f beari ng noi se occurs, the rear pi ni on beari ng
i s the source of the noi se. I f the beari ng noi se i s
heard duri ng a coast, the front pi ni on beari ng i s the
source.
Differential bearings usual l y produce a l ow pi tch
noi se. Di fferenti al beari ng noi se i s si mi l ar to pi ni on
beari ng noi se. The pi tch of di fferenti al beari ng noi se
i s al so constant and vari es onl y wi th vehi cl e speed.
Axle shaft bearings produce noi se and vi brati on
when worn or damaged. The noi se general l y changes
when the beari ngs are l oaded. Road test the vehi cl e.
Turn the vehi cl e sharpl y to the l eft and to the ri ght.
Thi s wi l l l oad the beari ngs and change the noi se
l evel . Where axl e beari ng damage i s sl i ght, the noi se
i s usual l y not noti ceabl e at speeds above 30 mph.

Low speed knock i s general l y caused by:
Worn U-joi nt.
Worn si de gear thrust washers.
Worn pi ni on shaft bore.
VIBRATION

Loose/broken spri ngs.
Damaged axl e shaft beari ng(s).
Loose pi ni on gear nut.
Excessi ve pi ni on yoke run out.
Bent axl e shaft(s).
Check for l oose or damaged front-end components
or engi ne/transmi ssi on mounts. These components
can contri bute to what appears to be a rearend vi bra-
ti on. Do not overl ook engi ne accessori es, brackets
and dri ve bel ts.
NOTE: All driveline components should be exam-
ined before starting any repair.
DRIVELINE SNAP
A snap or cl unk noi se when the vehi cl e i s shi fted
i nto gear (or the cl utch engaged), can be caused by:
Hi gh engi ne i dl e speed.
Transmi ssi on shi ft operati on.
Loose engi ne/transmi ssi on/transfer case mounts.
Worn U-joi nts.
Loose spri ng mounts.
Loose pi ni on gear nut and yoke.
Excessi ve ri ng gear backl ash.

DIFFERENTIAL-TRAC-LOK
DESCRIPTION
The opti onal Trac-Lok di fferenti al case has a one-
pi ece desi gn and the si mi l ar i nternal components as
a standard di fferenti al , pl us two cl utch di sc pack-
s.The di fferenti al pi ni on mate shaft i s retai ned wi th
a threaded pi n. Di fferenti al beari ng prel oad and ri ng
gear backl ash are set and mai ntai ned by threaded
adjusters at the outsi de of the di fferenti al housi ng.
Pi ni on beari ng prel oad i s set and mai ntai ned by the
use of a col l apsi bl e spacer. The removabl e di fferenti al
cover provi des a means for i nspecti on and servi ce.
OPERATION
Thi s di fferenti al cl utches are engaged by two con-
current forces. The fi rst bei ng the prel oad force
exerted through Bel l evi l l e spri ng washers wi thi n the
cl utch packs. The second i s the separati ng forces gen-
erated by the si de gears as torque i s appl i ed through
the ri ng gear (Fi g. 40).
Thi s desi gn provi des the di fferenti al acti on needed
for turni ng corners and for dri vi ng strai ght ahead
duri ng peri ods of unequal tracti on. When one wheel
l ooses tracti on, the cl utch packs transfer addi ti onal
torque to the wheel havi ng the most tracti on. Thi s
di fferenti al resi st wheel spi n on bumpy roads and
provi de more pul l i ng power when one wheel l ooses
tracti on. Pul l i ng power i s provi ded conti nuousl y unti l
both wheel s l oose tracti on. I f both wheel s sl i p due to
unequal tracti on, Trac-l ok operati on i s normal . I n
extreme cases of di fferences of tracti on, the wheel
wi th the l east tracti on may spi n.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
The most common probl em i s a chatter noi se when
turni ng corners. Before removi ng the uni t for repai r,
drai n, fl ush and refi l l the axl e wi th the speci fi ed
l ubri cant. Add a contai ner of Mopar Li mi ted Sl i p
Addi ti ve after repai r servi ce or duri ng a l ubri cant
change.
After changi ng the l ubri cant, dri ve the vehi cl e and
make 10 to 12 sl ow, fi gure-ei ght turns. Thi s maneu-
ver wi l l pump l ubri cant through the cl utches. Thi s
wi l l correct the condi ti on i n most i nstances. I f the
chatter persi sts, cl utch damage coul d have occurred.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
GEAR NOISE
Axl e gear noi se can be caused by i nsuffi ci ent l ubri -
cant, i ncorrect backl ash, i ncorrect pi ni on depth, tooth
contact, worn/damaged gears, or the carri er housi ng
not havi ng the proper offset and squareness.
Gear noi se usual l y happens at a speci fi c speed
range. The noi se can al so occur duri ng a speci fi c type
of dri vi ng condi ti on. These condi ti ons are accel era-
ti on, decel erati on, coast, or constant l oad.
When road testi ng, fi rst warm-up the axl e fl ui d by
dri vi ng the vehi cl e at l east 5 mi l es and then accel er-
ate the vehi cl e to the speed range where the noi se i s
the greatest. Shi ft out-of-gear and coast through the
peak-noi se range. I f the noi se stops or changes
greatl y check for:
I nsuffi ci ent l ubri cant.
I ncorrect ri ng gear backl ash.
Gear damage.
Di fferenti al si de gears and pi ni ons can be checked
by turni ng the vehi cl e. The si de gears are l oaded dur-
i ng turns. They usual l y do not cause noi se duri ng
strai ght-ahead dri vi ng when the gears are unl oaded.
A worn pi ni on shaft can al so cause a snappi ng or a
knocki ng noi se.
BEARING NOISE
The axl e shaft, di fferenti al and pi ni on beari ngs can
al l produce noi se when worn or damaged. Beari ng
noi se can be ei ther a whi ni ng, or a growl i ng sound.
Pinion bearings have a constant-pi tch noi se. Thi s
noi se changes onl y wi th vehi cl e speed. Pi ni on beari ng
noi se wi l l be hi gher pi tched because i t rotates at a
faster rate. Dri ve the vehi cl e and l oad the di fferen-
ti al . I f beari ng noi se occurs, the rear pi ni on beari ng
i s the source of the noi se. I f the beari ng noi se i s
heard duri ng a coast, the front pi ni on beari ng i s the
source.
Differential bearings usual l y produce a l ow pi tch
noi se. Di fferenti al beari ng noi se i s si mi l ar to pi ni on
beari ng noi se. The pi tch of di fferenti al beari ng noi se
i s al so constant and vari es onl y wi th vehi cl e speed.
Axle shaft bearings produce noi se and vi brati on
when worn or damaged. The noi se general l y changes
when the beari ngs are l oaded. Road test the vehi cl e.
Turn the vehi cl e sharpl y to the l eft and to the ri ght.
Thi s wi l l l oad the beari ngs and change the noi se
l evel . Where axl e beari ng damage i s sl i ght, the noi se
i s usual l y not noti ceabl e at speeds above 30 m.p.h.
LOW SPEED KNOCK
Low speed knock i s general l y caused by:
Worn U-joi nt(s).
Worn si de-gear thrust washers.
Worn pi ni on shaft bore.
3 - 112 REAR AXLE - 10 1/2 AA DR
VIBRATION
Vi brati on at the rear of the vehi cl e i s usual l y
caused by:
Damaged dri ve shaft.
Mi ssi ng dri ve shaft bal ance wei ght(s).
Worn or out-of-bal ance wheel s.
Loose wheel l ug nuts.
Worn U-joi nt(s).
Loose/broken spri ngs.
Damaged axl e shaft beari ng(s).
Loose pi ni on gear nut.
Excessi ve pi ni on yoke run out.
Bent axl e shaft(s).
Check for l oose or damaged front-end components
or engi ne/transmi ssi on mounts. These components
can contri bute to what appears to be a rear end
vi brati on. Do not overl ook engi ne accessori es, brack-
ets and dri ve bel ts.
NOTE: All driveline components should be exam-
ined before starting any repair.
DRIVELINE SNAP
A snap or cl unk noi se when the vehi cl e i s shi fted
i nto gear (or the cl utch engaged), can be caused by:
Hi gh engi ne i dl e speed.
Transmi ssi on shi ft operati on.
Loose engi ne/transmi ssi on/transfer case mounts.
Worn U-joi nts.
Loose spri ng mounts.
Loose pi ni on gear nut and yoke.
Excessi ve ri ng gear backl ash.
Excessi ve si de gear to case cl earance.
The source of a snap or a cl unk noi se can be deter-
mi ned wi th the assi stance of a hel per. Rai se the vehi -
cl e on a hoi st wi th the wheel s free to rotate. I nstruct
the hel per to shi ft the transmi ssi on i nto gear and l i s-
ten for the noi se. A mechani cs stethoscope i s hel pful
i n i sol ati ng the source of a noi se.

DIFFERENTIAL TRAC-RITE
DESCRIPTION
The Trac-Ri te di fferenti al i s a hel i cal gear di ffer-
enti al . The di fferenti al has two si de gears, si x pi ni on
gears and si x pi ni on brake shoes.
NOTE: The differential is seviced as an assembly
only if damaged, but can be disassembled for
cleaning. The assembly should be cleaned every
time a bearing is changed due to damage.
OPERATION
When one wheel begi ns to spi n the pi ni on gears on
that si de are forced toward the pi ni on brake shoes.
The pi ni on brake shoes then cause fri cti onal drag on
the opposi te pi ni on gears and the si de gear. These
fri cti on forces transfer the power to the opposi te
wheel . Once the fri cti onal forces are overcome, di ffer-
enti ati on wi l l occur. The torque wi l l be conti nual l y
bi ased by the fri cti onal forces to the hi gh tracti on
wheel .
DISASSEMBLY

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
GEAR NOISE
Axl e gear noi se can be caused by i nsuffi ci ent l ubri -
cant, i ncorrect backl ash, i ncorrect pi ni on depth, tooth
contact, worn/damaged gears, or the carri er housi ng
not havi ng the proper offset and squareness.
Gear noi se usual l y happens at a speci fi c speed
range. The noi se can al so occur duri ng a speci fi c type
of dri vi ng condi ti on. These condi ti ons are accel era-
ti on, decel erati on, coast, or constant l oad.
When road testi ng, fi rst warm-up the axl e fl ui d by
dri vi ng the vehi cl e at l east 5 mi l es and then accel er-
ate the vehi cl e to the speed range where the noi se i s
the greatest. Shi ft out-of-gear and coast through the
peak-noi se range. I f the noi se stops or changes
greatl y check for:
I nsuffi ci ent l ubri cant.
I ncorrect ri ng gear backl ash.
Gear damage.
Di fferenti al si de gears and pi ni ons can be checked
by turni ng the vehi cl e. The si de gears are l oaded dur-
i ng turns. They usual l y do not cause noi se duri ng
strai ght-ahead dri vi ng when the gears are unl oaded.
A worn pi ni on shaft can al so cause a snappi ng or a
knocki ng noi se.
BEARING NOISE
The axl e shaft, di fferenti al and pi ni on beari ngs can
al l produce noi se when worn or damaged. Beari ng
noi se can be ei ther a whi ni ng, or a growl i ng sound.
Pinion bearings have a constant-pi tch noi se. Thi s
noi se changes onl y wi th vehi cl e speed. Pi ni on beari ng
noi se wi l l be hi gher pi tched because i t rotates at a
faster rate. Dri ve the vehi cl e and l oad the di fferen-
ti al . I f beari ng noi se occurs, the rear pi ni on beari ng
i s the source of the noi se. I f the beari ng noi se i s
heard duri ng a coast, the front pi ni on beari ng i s the
source.
Differential bearings usual l y produce a l ow pi tch
noi se. Di fferenti al beari ng noi se i s si mi l ar to pi ni on
beari ng noi se. The pi tch of di fferenti al beari ng noi se
i s al so constant and vari es onl y wi th vehi cl e speed.
Axle shaft bearings produce noi se and vi brati on
when worn or damaged. The noi se general l y changes
when the beari ngs are l oaded. Road test the vehi cl e.
Turn the vehi cl e sharpl y to the l eft and to the ri ght.
Thi s wi l l l oad the beari ngs and change the noi se
l evel . Where axl e beari ng damage i s sl i ght, the noi se
i s usual l y not noti ceabl e at speeds above 30 mph.
LOW SPEED KNOCK
Low speed knock i s general l y caused by:
Worn U-joi nt(s).
Worn si de gear thrust washers.
Worn pi ni on shaft bore.
3 - 140 REAR AXLE - 11 1/2 AA DR
VIBRATION
Vi brati on at the rear of the vehi cl e i s usual l y
caused by:
Damaged dri ve shaft.
Mi ssi ng dri ve shaft bal ance wei ght(s).
Worn or out-of-bal ance wheel s.
Loose wheel l ug nuts.
Worn U-joi nt(s).
Loose/broken spri ngs.
Damaged axl e shaft beari ng(s).
Loose pi ni on gear nut.
Excessi ve pi ni on yoke run out.
Bent axl e shaft(s).
Check for l oose or damaged front-end components
or engi ne/transmi ssi on mounts. These components
can contri bute to what appears to be a rear end
vi brati on. Do not overl ook engi ne accessori es, brack-
ets and dri ve bel ts.
NOTE: All driveline components should be exam-
ined before starting any repair.
DRIVELINE SNAP
A snap or cl unk noi se when the vehi cl e i s shi fted
i nto gear (or the cl utch engaged), can be caused by:
Hi gh engi ne i dl e speed.
Transmi ssi on shi ft operati on.
Loose engi ne/transmi ssi on/transfer case mounts.
Worn U-joi nts.
Loose spri ng mounts.
Loose pi ni on gear nut and yoke.
Excessi ve ri ng gear backl ash.
Excessi ve si de gear to case cl earance.
The source of a snap or a cl unk noi se can be deter-
mi ned wi th the assi stance of a hel per. Rai se the vehi -
cl e on a hoi st wi th the wheel s free to rotate. I nstruct
the hel per to shi ft the transmi ssi on i nto gear and l i s-
ten for the noi se. A mechani cs stethoscope i s hel pful

DIFFERENTIAL TRAC-RITE
DESCRIPTION
The Trac-Ri te di fferenti al i s a hel i cal gear di ffer-
enti al . The di fferenti al has two si de gears, si x pi ni on
gears and si x pi ni on brake shoes.
NOTE: The differential is seviced as an assembly
only if damaged, but can be disassembled for
cleaning. The assembly should be cleaned every
time a bearing is changed due to damage.
OPERATION
When one wheel begi ns to spi n the pi ni on gears on
that si de are forced toward the pi ni on brake shoes.
The pi ni on brake shoes then cause fri cti onal drag on
the opposi te pi ni on gears and the si de gear. These
fri cti on forces transfer the power to the opposi te
wheel . Once the fri cti onal forces are overcome, di ffer-
enti ati on wi l l occur. The torque wi l l be conti nual l y
bi ased by the fri cti onal forces to the hi gh tracti on
wheel .
DISASSEMBLY

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - BASE BRAKE
SYSTEM
Base brake components consi st of the brake pads,

brake l i nes, master cyl i nder, booster, and parki ng
brake components.
Brake di agnosi s i nvol ves determi ni ng i f the prob-
l em i s rel ated to a mechani cal , hydraul i c, or vacuum
operated component.
The fi rst di agnosi s step i s the prel i mi nary check.
PRELIMINARY BRAKE CHECK
(1) Check condi ti on of ti res and wheel s. Damaged
wheel s and worn, damaged, or underi nfl ated ti res
can cause pul l , shudder, vi brati on, and a condi ti on
si mi l ar to grab.
(2) I f compl ai nt was based on noi se when braki ng,
check suspensi on components. Jounce front and rear
of vehi cl e and l i sten for noi se that mi ght be caused
by l oose, worn or damaged suspensi on or steeri ng
components.
(3) I nspect brake fl ui d l evel and condi ti on. Note
that the brake reservoi r fl ui d l evel wi l l decrease i n
proporti on to normal l i ni ng wear. Also note that
brake fluid tends to darken over time. This is

normal and should not be mistaken for contam-
ination.
(a) I f fl ui d l evel i s abnormal l y l ow, l ook for evi -
dence of l eaks at cal i pers, wheel cyl i nders, brake
l i nes, and master cyl i nder.
(b) I f fl ui d appears contami nated, drai n out a
sampl e to exami ne. System wi l l have to be fl ushed
i f fl ui d i s separated i nto l ayers, or contai ns a sub-
stance other than brake fl ui d. The system seal s
and cups wi l l al so have to be repl aced after fl ush-
i ng. Use cl ean brake fl ui d to fl ush the system.
(4) Check parki ng brake operati on. Veri fy free
movement and ful l rel ease of cabl es and pedal . Al so
note i f vehi cl e was bei ng operated wi th parki ng
brake parti al l y appl i ed.
(5) Check brake pedal operati on. Veri fy that pedal
does not bi nd and has adequate free pl ay. I f pedal
l acks free pl ay, check pedal and power booster for
bei ng l oose or for bi nd condi ti on. Do not road test
unti l condi ti on i s corrected.
(6) Check booster vacuum check val ve and hose.
(7) I f components checked appear OK, road test
the vehi cl e.
ROAD TESTING
(1) I f compl ai nt i nvol ved l ow brake pedal , pump
pedal and note i f i t comes back up to normal hei ght.
(2) Check brake pedal response wi th transmi ssi on
i n Neutral and engi ne runni ng. Pedal shoul d remai n
fi rm under constant foot pressure.
(3) Duri ng road test, make normal and fi rm brake
stops i n 25-40 mph range. Note faul ty brake opera-
ti on such as l ow pedal , hard pedal , fade, pedal pul sa-
ti on, pul l , grab, drag, noi se, etc.
(4) Attempt to stop the vehi cl e wi th the parki ng
brake onl y and note grab, drag, noi se, etc.
PEDAL FALLS AWAY
A brake pedal that fal l s away under steady foot
pressure i s general l y the resul t of a system l eak or
fl ui d contami nati on. The l eak poi nt coul d be at a
brake l i ne, fi tti ng, hose, or cal i per/wheel cyl i nder. I f
l eakage i s severe, fl ui d wi l l be evi dent at or around
the l eaki ng component.
I nternal l eakage (seal by-pass) i n the master cyl i n-
der caused by worn or damaged pi ston cups, may
al so be the probl em cause.
An i nternal l eak i n the ABS or RWAL system may
al so be the probl em wi th no physi cal evi dence.
LOW PEDAL
I f a l ow pedal i s experi enced, pump the pedal sev-
eral ti mes. I f the pedal comes back up worn l i ni ngs,
rotors, drums, or rear brakes out of adjustment are
the most l i kel y causes. The proper course of acti on i s
to i nspect and repl ace al l worn component and make
the proper adjustments.
SPONGY PEDAL
A spongy pedal i s most often caused by ai r i n the
system. However, thi n brake drums or substandard
brake l i nes and hoses can al so cause a spongy pedal .
The proper course of acti on i s to bl eed the system,
and repl ace thi n drums and substandard qual i ty
brake hoses i f suspected.
HARD PEDAL OR HIGH PEDAL EFFORT
A hard pedal or hi gh pedal effort may be due to
l i ni ng that i s water soaked, contami nated, gl azed, or
badl y worn. The power booster or check val ve or a
vacuum hose coul d al so be faul ty.
PEDAL PULSATION
Pedal pul sati on i s caused by components that are
l oose, or beyond tol erance l i mi ts.
The pri mary cause of pul sati on are di sc brake
rotors wi th excessi ve l ateral runout or thi ckness vari -
ati on, or out of round brake drums. Other causes are
l oose wheel beari ngs or cal i pers and worn, damaged
ti res.
NOTE: Some pedal pulsation may be felt during
ABS activation.
BRAKE DRAG
Brake drag occurs when the l i ni ng i s i n constant
contact wi th the rotor or drum. Drag can occur at one
wheel , al l wheel s, fronts onl y, or rears onl y.
Drag i s a product of i ncompl ete brake shoe rel ease.
Drag can be mi nor or severe enough to overheat the
l i ni ngs, rotors and drums.
Mi nor drag wi l l usual l y cause sl i ght surface char-
ri ng of the l i ni ng. I t can al so generate hard spots i n
rotors and drums from the overheat-cool down pro-
cess. I n most cases, the rotors, drums, wheel s and
ti res are qui te warm to the touch after the vehi cl e i s
stopped.
Severe drag can char the brake l i ni ng al l the way
through. I t can al so di stort and score rotors and
drums to the poi nt of repl acement. The wheel s, ti res
and brake components wi l l be extremel y hot. I n
severe cases, the l i ni ng may generate smoke as i t
chars from overheati ng.
Common causes of brake drag are:
Sei zed or i mproperl y adjusted parki ng brake
cabl es.
Loose/worn wheel beari ng.
Sei zed cal i per or wheel cyl i nder pi ston.
Cal i per bi ndi ng on corroded bushi ngs or rusted
sl i de surfaces.
Loose cal i per mounti ng.
DR BRAKES - BASE 5 - 3
BRAKES - BASE (Continued)
Drum brake shoes bi ndi ng on worn/damaged
support pl ates.
Mi s-assembl ed components.
Long booster output rod.
I f brake drag occurs at al l wheel s, the probl em
may be rel ated to a bl ocked master cyl i nder return
port, or faul ty power booster (bi nds-does not rel ease).
BRAKE FADE
Brake fade i s usual l y a product of overheati ng
caused by brake drag. However, brake overheati ng
and resul ti ng fade can al so be caused by ri di ng the
brake pedal , maki ng repeated hi gh decel erati on stops
i n a short ti me span, or constant braki ng on steep
mountai n roads. Refer to the Brake Drag i nformati on
i n thi s secti on for causes.
BRAKE PULL
Front brake pul l condi ti on coul d resul t from:
Contami nated l i ni ng i n one cal i per
Sei zed cal i per pi ston
Bi ndi ng cal i per
Loose cal i per
Rusty cal i per sl i de surfaces
I mproper brake pads
Damaged rotor
A worn, damaged wheel beari ng or suspensi on
component are further causes of pul l . A damaged
front ti re (brui sed, pl y separati on) can al so cause
pul l .
A common and frequentl y mi sdi agnosed pul l condi -
ti on i s where di recti on of pul l changes after a few
stops. The cause i s a combi nati on of brake drag fol -
l owed by fade at one of the brake uni ts.
As the draggi ng brake overheats, effi ci ency i s so
reduced that fade occurs. Si nce the opposi te brake
uni t i s sti l l functi oni ng normal l y, i ts braki ng effect i s
magni fi ed. Thi s causes pul l to swi tch di recti on i n
favor of the normal l y functi oni ng brake uni t.
An addi ti onal poi nt when di agnosi ng a change i n
pul l condi ti on concerns brake cool down. Remember
that pul l wi l l return to the ori gi nal di recti on, i f the
draggi ng brake uni t i s al l owed to cool down (and i s
not seri ousl y damaged).
REAR BRAKE GRAB OR PULL
Rear grab or pul l i s usual l y caused by i mproperl y
adjusted or sei zed parki ng brake cabl es, contami -
nated l i ni ng, bent or bi ndi ng shoes and support
pl ates, or i mproperl y assembl ed components. Thi s i s
parti cul arl y true when onl y one rear wheel i s
i nvol ved. However, when both rear wheel s are

BRAKES DO NOT HOLD AFTER DRIVING THROUGH DEEP
WATER PUDDLES
Thi s condi ti on i s general l y caused by water soaked
l i ni ng. I f the l i ni ng i s onl y wet, i t can be dri ed by
dri vi ng wi th the brakes very l i ghtl y appl i ed for a
mi l e or two. However, i f the l i ni ng i s both soaked and
di rt contami nated, cl eani ng and/or repl acement wi l l
be necessary.
BRAKE LINING CONTAMINATION
Brake l i ni ng contami nati on i s mostl y a product of
l eaki ng cal i pers or worn seal s, dri vi ng through deep
water puddl es, or l i ni ng that has become covered
wi th grease and gri t duri ng repai r. Contami nated l i n-
i ng shoul d be repl aced to avoi d further brake prob-
l ems.
WHEEL AND TIRE PROBLEMS
Some condi ti ons attri buted to brake components
may actual l y be caused by a wheel or ti re probl em.
A damaged wheel can cause shudder, vi brati on and
pul l . A worn or damaged ti re can al so cause pul l .
Severel y worn ti res wi th very l i ttl e tread l eft can
produce a grab-l i ke condi ti on as the ti re l oses and
recovers tracti on. Fl at-spotted ti res can cause vi bra-
ti on and generate shudder duri ng brake operati on. A
ti re wi th i nternal damage such as a severe brui se,
cut, or pl y separati on can cause pul l and vi brati on.
BRAKE NOISES
Some brake noi se i s common wi th rear drum
brakes and on some di sc brakes duri ng the fi rst few
stops after a vehi cl e has been parked overni ght or
stored. Thi s i s pri mari l y due to the formati on of trace
corrosi on (l i ght rust) on metal surfaces. Thi s l i ght
corrosi on i s typi cal l y cl eared from the metal surfaces
after a few brake appl i cati ons causi ng the noi se to
subsi de.
BRAKE SQUEAK/SQUEAL
Brake squeak or squeal may be due to l i ni ngs that
are wet or contami nated wi th brake fl ui d, grease, or
oi l . Gl azed l i ni ngs and rotors wi th hard spots can
al so contri bute to squeak. Di rt and forei gn materi al
embedded i n the brake l i ni ng wi l l al so cause squeak/
squeal .
A very l oud squeak or squeal i s frequentl y a si gn of
severel y worn brake l i ni ng. I f the l i ni ng has worn
through to the brake pads i n spots, metal -to-metal
contact occurs. I f the condi ti on i s al l owed to conti nue,
rotors can become so scored that repl acement i s nec-
essary.
BRAKE CHATTER
Brake chatter i s usual l y caused by l oose or worn
components, or gl azed/burnt l i ni ng. Rotors wi th hard
spots can al so contri bute to chatter. Addi ti onal causes
5 - 4 BRAKES - BASE DR
BRAKES - BASE (Continued)
of chatter are out-of-tol erance rotors, brake l i ni ng not
securel y attached to the shoes, l oose wheel beari ngs
and contami nated brake l i ni ng.
THUMP/CLUNK NOISE
Thumpi ng or cl unk noi ses duri ng braki ng are fre-
quentl y not caused by brake components. I n many
cases, such noi ses are caused by l oose or damaged
steeri ng, suspensi on, or engi ne components. However,
cal i pers that bi nd on the sl i de surfaces can generate
a thump or cl unk noi se.

DISC BRAKE CALIPERS
DESCRIPTION
The cal i pers are a si ngl e pi ston type i n the rear
and dual pi ston type i n the front. The cal i pers are
free to sl i de l ateral l y, thi s al l ows conti nuous compen-
sati on for l i ni ng wear.
OPERATION
When the brakes are appl i ed fl ui d pressure i s
exerted agai nst the cal i per pi ston. The fl ui d pressure
i s exerted equal l y and i n al l di recti ons. Thi s means
pressure exerted agai nst the cal i per pi ston and
wi thi n the cal i per bore wi l l be equal (Fi g. 24).
Fl ui d pressure appl i ed to the pi ston i s transmi tted
di rectl y to the i nboard brake pad. Thi s forces the pad
l i ni ng agai nst the i nner surface of the di sc brake

rotor. At the same ti me, fl ui d pressure wi thi n the pi s-
ton bore forces the cal i per to sl i de i nward on the
mounti ng bol ts. Thi s acti on bri ngs the outboard
brake pad l i ni ng i nto contact wi th the outer surface
of the di sc brake rotor.
I n summary, fl ui d pressure acti ng si mul taneousl y
on both pi ston and cal i per, produces a strong cl amp-
i ng acti on. When suffi ci ent force i s appl i ed, fri cti on
wi l l attempt to stop the rotors from turni ng and
bri ng the vehi cl e to a stop.
Appl i cati on and rel ease of the brake pedal gener-
ates onl y a very sl i ght movement of the cal i per and
pi ston. Upon rel ease of the pedal , the cal i per and pi s-
ton return to a rest posi ti on. The brake pads do not
retract an appreci abl e di stance from the rotor. I n
fact, cl earance i s usual l y at, or cl ose to zero. The rea-
sons for thi s are to keep road debri s from getti ng
between the rotor and l i ni ng and i n wi pi ng the rotor
surface cl ear each revol uti on.
The cal i per pi ston seal control s the amount of pi s-
ton extensi on needed to compensate for normal l i ni ng
wear.
Duri ng brake appl i cati on, the seal i s defl ected out-
ward by fl ui d pressure and pi ston movement (Fi g.
25). When the brakes (and fl ui d pressure) are
rel eased, the seal rel axes and retracts the pi ston.
The amount of pi ston retracti on i s determi ned by
the amount of seal defl ecti on. General l y the amount
i s just enough to mai ntai n contact between the pi s-
ton and i nboard brake pad.

PARKING BRAKE
DESCRIPTION
The parki ng brakes are operated by a system of
cabl es and l evers attached to a pri mary and second-
ary shoe posi ti oned wi thi n the drum secti on of the
rotor.
The drum-i n-hat desi gn uti l i zes an i ndependent set
of shoes to park the vehi cl e (Fi g. 67).
OPERATION
To appl y the parki ng brake the pedal i s depressed.
Thi s creates tensi on i n the cabl e whi ch pul l s forward
on the park brake l ever. The l ever pushes the park
brake shoes outward and i nto contact wi th the drum
secti on of the rotor. The contact of shoe to rotor parks
the vehi cl e.
A torsi on l ocki ng mechani sm i s used to hol d the
pedal i n an appl i ed posi ti on. Parki ng brake rel ease i s
accompl i shed by the hand rel ease.
A parki ng brake swi tch i s mounted on the parki ng
brake l ever and i s actuated by movement of the
l ever. The swi tch, whi ch i s i n ci rcui t wi th the red
warni ng l i ght i n the dash, wi l l i l l umi nate the warn-
i ng l i ght whenever the parki ng brake i s appl i ed.
Parki ng brake adjustment i s control l ed by a cabl e
tensi oner mechani sm. The cabl e tensi oner, once
adjusted at the factory, shoul d not need further
adjustment under normal ci rcumstances. Adjustment
may be requi red i f a new tensi oner, or cabl es are
i nstal l ed, or di sconnected.

FRONT WHEEL SPEED
SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
The ABS brake system uses 3 wheel speed sensors.
A sensor i s mounted to each front hub/beari ngs. The
thi rd sensor i s mounted on top of the rear axl e di f-
ferenti al housi ng.
OPERATION
The Wheel Speed Sensor consi sts of a magnet sur-
rounded by wi ndi ngs from a si ngl e strand of wi re.
The sensor sends a smal l AC si gnal to the CAB. Thi s
si gnal i s generated by magneti c i nducti on. The mag-
neti c i nducti on i s created when a toothed sensor ri ng
(exci ter ri ng or tone wheel ) passes the stati onary
magneti c WSS.
When the ri ng gear i s rotated, the exci ter ri ng
passes the ti p of the WSS. As the exci ter ri ng tooth
approaches the ti p of the WSS, the magneti c l i nes of
force expand, causi ng the magneti c fi el d to cut across
the sensors wi ndi ngs. Thi s, i n turn causes current to
fl ow through the WSS ci rcui t (Fi g. 1) i n one di rec-
ti on. When the exci ter ri ng tooth moves away from
the sensor ti p, the magneti c l i nes of force col l apse
cutti ng the wi ndi ng i n the opposi te di recti on. Thi s
causes the current to fl ow i n the opposi te di recti on.
Every ti me a tooth of the exci ter ri ng passes the ti p
of the WSS, an AC si gnal i s generated. Each AC si g-
nal (posi ti ve to negati ve si gnal or si newave) i s i nter-
preted by the CAB. I t then compares the frequency of
the si newave to a ti me val ue to cal cul ate vehi cl e
speed. The CAB conti nues to moni tor the frequency
to determi ne a decel erati on rate that woul d i ndi cate
a possi bl e wheel -l ocki ng tendency.
The si gnal strength of any magneti c i nducti on sen-
sor i s di rectl y affected by:
Magneti c fi el d strength; the stronger the mag-
neti c fi el d, the stronger the si gnal
Number of wi ndi ngs i n the sensor; more wi nd-
i ngs provi de a stronger si gnal
Exci ter ri ng speed; the faster the exci ter ri ng/
tone wheel rotates, the stronger the si gnal wi l l be
Di stance between the exci ter ri ng teeth and
WSS; the cl oser the WSS i s to the exci ter ri ng/tone
wheel , the stronger the si gnal wi l l be
The rear WSS i s not adjustabl e. A cl earance speci -
fi cati on has been establ i shed for manufacturi ng tol er-
ances. I f the cl earance i s not wi thi n these
speci fi cati ons, then ei ther the WSS or other compo-
nents may be damaged. The cl earance between the
WSS and the exci ter ri ng i s 0.005 0.050 i n.
The assembl y pl ant performs a Rol l s Test on
every vehi cl e that l eaves the assembl y pl ant. One of
the test performed i s a test of the WSS. To properl y
test the sensor, the assembl y pl ant connects test
equi pment to the Data Li nk Connector (DLC). Thi s
connector i s l ocated to the ri ght of the steeri ng col -
umn and attached to the l ower porti on of the i nstru-
ment panel (Fi g. 2). The rol l s test termi nal i s spl i ced
to the WSS ci rcui t. The vehi cl e i s then dri ven on a
set of rol l ers and the WSS output i s moni tored for
proper operati on.

HYDRAULIC/MECHANICAL
DESCRIPTION - ELECTRONIC VARIABLE
BRAKE PROPORTIONING
Vehi cl es equi pped wi th ABS use el ectroni c vari abl e
brake proporti oni ng (EVBP) to bal ance front-to-rear
braki ng. The EVBP i s used i n pl ace of a rear propor-
ti oni ng val ve. The EVBP system uses the ABS sys-
tem to control the sl i p of the rear wheel s i n parti al
braki ng range. The braki ng force of the rear wheel s
i s control l ed el ectroni cal l y by usi ng the i nl et and out-
l et val ves l ocated i n the i ntegrated control uni t
(I CU).
OPERATION - ELECTRONIC VARIABLE BRAKE
PROPORTIONING
EVBP i s abl e to decrease, hol d and i ncrease rear
brake pressure wi thout acti vati ng ful l ABS control .
Upon entry i nto EVBP the i nl et val ve for the rear
brake ci rcui t i s swi tched on so that the fl ui d suppl y
from the master cyl i nder i s shut off. I n order to
decrease the rear brake pressure, the outl et val ve for
the rear brake ci rcui t i s pul sed. Thi s al l ows fl ui d to
enter the l ow pressure accumul ator (LPA) i n the
hydraul i c control uni t (HCU) resul ti ng i n a drop i n
fl ui d pressure to the rear brakes. I n order to i ncrease
the rear brake pressure, the outl et val ve i s swi tched
off and the i nl et val ve i s pul sed. Thi s i ncreases the
pressure to the rear brakes.
The EVBP wi l l remai n functi onal duri ng many
ABS faul t modes. I f both the red BRAKE and amber
ABS warni ng i ndi cators are i l l umi nated, the EVBP
may not be functi oni ng.
HCU (HYDRAULIC CONTROL
UNIT)
DESCRIPTION
The HCU consi sts of a val ve body, pump motor, l ow
pressure accumul ators, i nl et val ves, outl et val ves and
noi se attenuators.
OPERATION
Accumul ators i n the val ve body store extra fl ui d
rel eased to the system for ABS mode operati on. The
pump provi des the fl ui d vol ume needed and i s oper-
ated by a DC type motor. The motor i s control l ed by
the CAB.
The val ves modul ate brake pressure duri ng
anti l ock braki ng and are control l ed by the CAB.
The HCU provi des three channel pressure control
to the front and rear brakes. One channel control s
the rear wheel brakes i n tandem. The two remai ni ng
channel s control the front wheel brakes i ndi vi dual l y.
Duri ng anti l ock braki ng, the sol enoi d val ves are
opened and cl osed as needed.
Duri ng normal braki ng, the HCU sol enoi d val ves
and pump are not acti vated. The master cyl i nder and
power booster operate the same as a vehi cl e wi thout
an ABS brake system.
NOTE: The three modes mentioned below do occur
but not necessarily in the order listed everytime.
Duri ng anti l ock braki ng, sol enoi d val ve pressure
modul ati on occurs i n three stages, pressure i ncrease,
pressure hol d, and pressure decrease. The val ves are
al l contai ned i n the val ve body porti on of the HCU.
PRESSURE DECREASE
The outl et val ve i s opened and the i nl et val ve i s
cl osed duri ng the pressure decrease cycl e.
A pressure decrease cycl e i s i ni ti ated when speed
sensor si gnal s i ndi cate hi gh wheel sl i p at one or
more wheel s. At thi s poi nt, the CAB cl oses the i nl et
then opens the outl et val ve, whi ch al so opens the
return ci rcui t to the accumul ators. Fl ui d pressure i s
al l owed to bl eed off (decrease) as needed to prevent
wheel l ock.
Once the peri od of hi gh wheel sl i p has ended, the
CAB cl oses the outl et val ve and begi ns a pressure
i ncrease or hol d cycl e as needed.
PRESSURE HOLD
Both sol enoi d val ves are cl osed i n the pressure
hol d cycl e but onl y the i nl et val ve i s energi zed. Fl ui d

RWAL VALVE
DESCRIPTION
Rear Wheel Anti l ock (RWAL) brake system i s stan-
dard equi pment on 1500 seri es vehi cl es. The RWAL
brake system i s desi gned to prevent rear wheel
l ock-up on vi rtual l y al l types of road surfaces. RWAL
braki ng i s desi rabl e because a vehi cl e whi ch i s
stopped wi thout l ocki ng the rear wheel s wi l l retai n
di recti onal stabi l i ty. Thi s al l ows the dri ver to retai n
greater control of the vehi cl e duri ng braki ng.
The val ve i s l ocated on the dri vers si de i nner
fender under the hood. The val ve modul ates hydrau-
l i c pressure to the rear brakes.
The RWAL components i ncl ude:
RWAL Val ve
Control l er Anti l ock brake (CAB)
Rear Wheel Speed Sensor (WSS)
OPERATION
When the brakes are appl i ed, hydraul i c fl ui d i s
routed from the master cyl i nders secondary ci rcui t to
the RWAL val ve. From there hydraul i c fl ui d i s routed
to the rear brakes. The Control l er Anti l ock Brake
(CAB) contai ns an El ectroni c Vari abl e Brake Propor-
ti oni ng (EVBP) control al gori thm, whi ch proporti ons
the appl i ed braki ng force to the rear wheel s duri ng
braki ng. The EVBP functi on of the RWAL system
takes the pl ace of a conventi onal hydraul i c propor-
ti oni ng val ve. The CAB moni tors the rear wheel
speed through the rear wheel speed sensor and cal -
cul ates an esti mated vehi cl e decel erati on. When an
establ i shed decel erati on threshol d i s exceeded, an
i sol ati on val ve i s cl osed to hol d the appl i ed brake
pressure to the rear brakes constant. Upon further
i ncreases i n the esti mated vehi cl e decel erati on, the
i sol ati on val ve i s sel ecti vel y opened to i ncrease rear
brake pressure i n proporti on to the front brake pres-
sure. I f i mpendi ng rear wheel l ock-up i s sensed, the
CAB si gnal s the RWAL val ve to modul ate hydraul i c
brake pressure to the rear wheel s to prevent l ock-up.
NORMAL BRAKI NG Si nce the RWAL val ve al so
performs the EVBP or proporti oni ng functi on, vehi cl e
decel erati on under normal braki ng may be suffi ci ent
to tri gger the EVBP functi on of the RWAL system

WARNING
WARNING: Exercise care when servicing clutch
components. Factory installed clutch discs do not
contain asbestos fibers. Dust and dirt on clutch
parts may contain asbestos fibers from aftermarket
components. Breathing excessive concentrations of
these fibers can cause serious bodily harm. Wear a
respirator during service and never clean clutch
components with compressed air or with a dry
brush. Either clean the components with water
dampened rags or use a vacuum cleaner specifi-
cally designed to remove asbestos fibers and dust.
Do not create dust by sanding a clutch discs.
Replace the disc if the friction material is damaged.
Dispose of all dust and dirt containing asbestos
fibers in sealed bags or containers. This will mini-
mize exposure to yourself and to others. Follow all
recommended safety practices prescribed by the
occupational safety and health administration
(OSHA) and the environmental safety agency (EPA),
for the handling and disposal of products contain-
ing asbestos. Failure to follow these instructions
may result in personal injury or death
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
Road test and i nspect components to determi ne a
cl utch probl em. Road test the vehi cl e at normal
speeds. Shi ft the transmi ssi on through al l gear
ranges and observe cl utch acti on. I f cl utch chatters,
grabs, sl i ps or does not rel ease properl y, remove and
i nspect cl utch components. I f probl em i s noi se or
hard shi fti ng, further di agnosi s may be needed to the
transmi ssi on and dri vel i ne component.
CLUTCH CONTAMINATION
Contami nati on i s a frequent cause of cl utch mal -
functi ons. Oi l , water or cl utch fl ui d on the cl utch di sc
and pressure pl ate surfaces wi l l cause chatter, sl i p
and grab. Oi l contami nati on i ndi cates a l eak at
ei ther the rear mai n seal or transmi ssi on i nput shaft.
Cl utch fl ui d l eaks are usual l y from damaged sl ave
cyl i nder push rod seal s. Heat bui l dup caused by sl i p-
page between the pressure pl ate, di sc and fl ywheel
can bake the oi l resi due onto the components. The
gl aze-l i ke resi due ranges i n col or from amber to
bl ack.
Road spl ash contami nati on i s di rt/water enteri ng
the cl utch housi ng due to l oose bol ts, housi ng cracks.
Dri vi ng through deep water puddl es can force water/
road spl ash i nto the housi ng through such openi ngs.
IMPROPER RELEASE OR CLUTCH ENGAGEMENT
Cl utch rel ease or engagement probl ems can be
caused by worn or damage cl utch components.
Rel ease probl ems can cause hard shi fti ng and
noi se. Look for l eaks at cl utch cyl i nders, connecti ng
l i ne and l oose sl ave cyl i nder bol ts. Al so worn/l oose
rel ease fork, pi vot stud, cl utch di sc, pressure pl ate or

Engagement probl ems can cause sl i p, chatter/shud-
der and noi sy operati on. The causes may be cl utch
di sc contami nati on, wear, di storti on or fl ywheel dam-
age.
CLUTCH MISALIGNMENT
Cl utch components must be i n proper al i gnment
wi th the crankshaft and transmi ssi on i nput shaft.
Mi sal i gnment caused by excessi ve runout or warpage
of any cl utch component wi l l cause grab, chatter and
i mproper cl utch rel ease.
CLUTCH COVER AND DISC RUNOUT
Check the cl utch di sc before i nstal l ati on. Axi al
(face) runout of a new di sc shoul d not exceed 0.50
mm (0.020 i n.). Measure runout about 6 mm (1/4 i n.)
from the outer edge of the di sc faci ng. Obtai n
another di sc i f runout i s excessi ve.
Check condi ti on of the cl utch before i nstal l ati on. A
warped cover or di aphragm spri ng wi l l cause grab
and i ncompl ete rel ease or engagement. Be careful
when handl i ng the cover and di sc. I mpact can di stort
the cover, di aphragm spri ng, rel ease fi ngers and the
hub of the cl utch di sc.
Use an al i gnment tool when posi ti oni ng the di sc on
the fl ywheel . The tool prevents acci dental mi sal i gn-
ment whi ch coul d resul t i n cover di storti on and di sc

A frequent cause of cl utch cover di storti on (and
consequent mi sal i gnment) i s i mproper bol t ti ghten-
i ng.
FLYWHEEL RUNOUT
Check fl ywheel runout whenever mi sal i gnment i s
suspected. Fl ywheel runout shoul d not exceed 0.08
mm (0.003 i n.). Measure runout at the outer edge of
the fl ywheel face wi th a di al i ndi cator.
Common causes of runout are:

FLYWHEEL
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
Check fl ywheel runout whenever mi sal i gnment i s
suspected. Fl ywheel runout shoul d not exceed 0.08
mm (0.003 i n.). Measure runout at the outer edge of
the fl ywheel face wi th a di al i ndi cator. Mount the
i ndi cator on a stud i nstal l ed i n pl ace of one of the fl y-
wheel bol ts.

Fl ywheel machi ni ng i s not recommended. The fl y-
wheel cl utch surface i s machi ned to a uni que contour
and machi ni ng wi l l negate thi s feature. Mi nor fl y-
wheel scori ng can be cl eaned up by hand wi th 180
gri t emery or wi th surface gri ndi ng equi pment.
Remove onl y enough materi al to reduce scori ng
(approxi matel y 0.001 - 0.003 i n.). Heavy stock
removal i s not recommended. Repl ace the fl ywheel
i f scori ng i s severe and deeper than 0.076 mm (0.003
i n.). Excessi ve stock removal can resul t i n fl ywheel
cracki ng or warpage after i nstal l ati on; i t can al so
weaken the fl ywheel and i nterfere wi th proper cl utch
rel ease.
Cl ean the crankshaft fl ange before mounti ng the

REMOVAL
(1) Remove transmi ssi on.
(2) Remove pressure pl ate and cl utch.
(3) Remove fl ywheel bol ts and remove fl ywheel .
DISASSEMBLY
NOTE: If the teeth are worn or damaged, the fly-
wheel should be replaced as an assembly. This is
the recommended repair. In cases where a new fly-
wheel is not readily available, (V10/Diesel Engine
only) a replacement ring gear can be installed. The
following procedure must be observed to avoid
damaging the flywheel and replacement gear.
WARNING: WEAR PROTECTIVE GOGGLES OR
SAFETY GLASSES WHILE CUTTING RING GEAR.
(1) Mark posi ti on of the ol d gear for al i gnment ref-
erence on the fl ywheel . Use a scri ber for thi s pur-
pose.
(2) Remove the ol d gear by cutti ng most of the way
through i t (at one poi nt) wi th an abrasi ve cut-off
wheel . Then compl ete removal wi th a col d chi sel or
punch.
ASSEMBLY
NOTE: The ring gear is a shrink fit on the flywheel.
This means the gear must be expanded by heating
in order to install it. The method of heating and
expanding the gear is extremely important. Every
surface of the gear must be heated at the same
time to produce uniform expansion. An oven or
similar enclosed heating device must be used. Tem-
perature required for uniform expansion is approxi-
mately 375 F.
CAUTION: Do not use an oxy/acetylene torch to
remove the old gear, or to heat and expand a new
gear. The high temperature of the torch flame can
cause localized heating that will damage the fly-
wheel. In addition, using the torch to heat a replace-
ment gear will cause uneven heating and
expansion. The torch flame can also anneal the
gear teeth resulting in rapid wear and damage after
installation.
WARNING: WEAR PROTECTIVE GOGGLES OR
SAFETY GLASSES AND HEAT RESISTENT GLOVES
WHEN HANDLING A HEATED RING GEAR.
(1) The heated gear must be i nstal l ed evenl y to
avoi d mi sal i gnment or di storti on.
(2) Posi ti on and i nstal l the heated ri ng gear on the
fl ywheel wi th a shop press and a sui tabl e press pl ates.
(3) Pl ace fl ywheel on work bench and l et i t cool i n
normal shop ai r. Al l ow the ri ng gear to cool down
compl etel y before i nstal l ati on i t on the engi ne.
CAUTION: Do not use water or compressed air to
cool the flywheel. The rapid cooling produced by
water or compressed air will distort or crack the
new gear.

GAUGE IS IN NORMAL RANGE
1. During wet weather, moisture
(snow, ice or rain condensation) on
the radiator will evaporate when the
thermostat opens. This opening
allows heated water into the

contacts the hot radiator, steam
may be emitted. This usually occurs
in cold weather with no fan or air
flow to blow it away.
1. Occasional steam emitting from
this area is normal. No repair is
necessary.

DESCRIPTION
The cool ant reserve/overfl ow tank i s mounted on
top of the fan shroud, and i s made of hi gh tempera-
ture pl asti c (Fi g. 1).
OPERATION
The cool ant reserve/overfl ow system works i n con-
juncti on wi th the radi ator pressure cap. I t uti l i zes

l evel and adjusti ng l evel at atmospheri c pressure.
Thi s i s done wi thout removi ng the radi ator pressure
cap. The system al so provi des some reserve cool ant
to the radi ator to cover mi nor l eaks and evaporati on
or boi l i ng l osses.
As the engi ne cool s, a vacuum i s formed i n the
cool i ng system of both the radi ator and engi ne. Cool -
ant wi l l then be drawn from the cool ant tank and
returned to a proper l evel i n the radi ator.

ENGINE COOLANT
TEMPERATURE SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
The Engi ne Cool ant Temperature (ECT) sensor i s
used to sense engi ne cool ant temperature. The sensor
protrudes i nto an engi ne water jacket.
The ECT sensor i s a two-wi re Negati ve Thermal
Coeffi ci ent (NTC) sensor. Meani ng, as engi ne cool ant
temperature i ncreases, resi stance (vol tage) i n the
sensor decreases. As temperature decreases, resi s-
tance (vol tage) i n the sensor i ncreases.
OPERATION
At key-on, the Powertrai n Control Modul e (PCM)
sends out a regul ated 5 vol t si gnal to the ECT sensor.
The PCM then moni tors the si gnal as i t passes
through the ECT sensor to the sensor ground (sensor
return).
When the engi ne i s col d, the PCM wi l l operate i n
Open Loop cycl e. I t wi l l demand sl i ghtl y ri cher ai r-
fuel mi xtures and hi gher i dl e speeds. Thi s i s done
unti l normal operati ng temperatures are reached.
The PCM uses i nputs from the ECT sensor for the

i mum 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 radi ator cap at any ti me except
for the fol l owi ng purposes:
Check and adjust anti freeze freeze poi nt.
Refi l l the system wi th new anti freeze.
Conducti ng servi ce procedures.
Checki ng for vacuum l eaks.
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 WITH-
OUT 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 PRES-
SURE DROPS, REMOVE RADIATOR CAP COM-
PLETELY.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - RADIATOR CAP
Remove the cap from the radi ator. Be sure that the
seal i ng surfaces are cl ean. Moi sten the rubber gasket
wi th water and i nstal l the cap on the pressure tester
7700 or an equi val ent (Fi g. 41).
Operate the tester pump to bri ng the pressure to
104 kPa (15 psi ) on the gauge. I f the pressure cap
fai l s to hol d pressure of at l east 97 kPa (14 psi )
repl ace the cap. Refer to the fol l owi ng CAUTION.

RADIATOR PRESSURE CAP (Continued)
The pressure cap may test properl y whi l e posi -
ti oned on tool 7700 (or equi val ent). I t may not hol d
pressure or vacuum when i nstal l ed on the radi ator. I f
so, i nspect the radi ator fi l l er neck and radi ator caps
top gasket for damage. Al so i nspect for di rt or di stor-
ti on that may prevent the cap from seal i ng properl y.
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.
CLEANING
Use onl y a mi l d soap and water to cl ean the radi -

ANTENNA BODY & CABLE
DESCRIPTION
The antenna body and cabl e i s secured bel ow the
fender panel by the antenna cap nut through a
mounti ng hol e i n the ri ght front fender. The pri mary
coaxi al antenna cabl e i s then routed beneath the
fender sheet metal and through a entry hol e i n the
ri ght cowl si de panel i nto the i nteri or of the vehi cl e.
I nsi de the vehi cl e, the pri mary coaxi al cabl e i s con-
nected to a secondary i nstrument panel antenna
coaxi al cabl e wi th an i n-l i ne connector that i s l ocated
behi nd the ri ght ki ck panel . The secondary coaxi al
cabl e i s then routed behi nd the i nstrument panel to
the back of the radi o.
OPERATION
The antenna body and cabl e connects the antenna
mast to the radi o. The radi o antenna i s an el ectro-
magneti c ci rcui t component used to capture radi o fre-
quency si gnal s that are broadcast by l ocal
commerci al radi o stati ons i n both the Ampl i tude
Modul ati ng (AM) and Frequency Modul ati ng (FM)
frequency ranges. These el ectromagneti c radi o fre-
quency si gnal s i nduce smal l el ectri cal modul ati ons
i nto the antenna as they move past the mast. The
antenna body transfers the weak el ectromagneti c
radi o waves i nduced i nto the ri gi d antenna mast i nto
the center conductor of the fl exi bl e pri mary antenna
coaxi al cabl e. The brai ded outer shi el d of the
antenna coaxi al cabl e i s grounded through both the
antenna body and the radi o chassi s, effecti vel y
shi el di ng the radi o waves as they are conducted to
the radi o. The radi o then tunes and ampl i fi es the
weak radi o si gnal s i nto stronger el ectri cal si gnal s i n
order to operate the audi o system speakers.

RADIO NOISE SUPPRESSION
GROUND STRAP
DESCRIPTION
Radi o noi se suppressi on devi ces are factory-i n-
stal l ed standard equi pment on thi s vehi cl e. Radi o
Frequency I nterference (RFI ) and El ectroMagneti c
I nterference (EMI ) can be produced by any on-board
or external source of el ectromagneti c energy. These
el ectromagneti c energy sources can radi ate el ectro-
magneti c si gnal s through the ai r, or conduct them
through the vehi cl e el ectri cal system.
When the audi o system converts RFI or EMI to an
audi bl e acousti c wave form, i t i s referred to as radi o
noi se. Thi s undesi rabl e radi o noi se i s general l y man-
i fested i n the form of buzzi ng, hi ssi ng, poppi ng,
cl i cki ng, crackl i ng, and/or whi rri ng sounds. I n
most cases, RFI and EMI radi o noi se can be sup-
pressed usi ng a combi nati on of vehi cl e and compo-
nent groundi ng, fi l teri ng and shi el di ng techni ques.
Thi s vehi cl e i s equi pped wi th factory-i nstal l ed radi o
noi se suppressi on devi ces that were desi gned to mi n-
i mi ze exposure to typi cal sources of RFI and EMI ;
thereby, mi ni mi zi ng radi o noi se compl ai nts.
Factory-i nstal l ed radi o noi se suppressi on i s accom-
pl i shed pri mari l y through ci rcui try or devi ces that
are i ntegral to the factory-i nstal l ed radi os, audi o
power ampl i fi ers and other on-board el ectri cal com-
ponents such as generators, wi per motors, bl ower
motors, and fuel pumps that have been found to be
potenti al sources of RFI or EMI . External radi o noi se
suppressi on devi ces that are used on thi s vehi cl e to
control RFI or EMI , and can be servi ced, i ncl ude the
fol l owi ng:
Engine-to-body ground strap - Thi s l ength of
brai ded ground strap has an eyel et termi nal connec-
tor cri mped to each end. One end i s secured to the
engi ne cyl i nder head(s). The other i s secured to the
pl enum at the exhaust heat shi el d forward/outer
attachi ng stud.
Resistor-type spark plugs - Thi s type of spark
pl ug has an i nternal resi stor connected i n seri es
between the spark pl ug termi nal and the center el ec-
trode to hel p reduce the producti on of el ectromag-
neti c radi ati on that can resul t i n radi o noi se.
OPERATION
There are two common strategi es that can be used
to suppress Radi o Frequency I nterference (RFI ) and
El ectroMagneti c I nterference (EMI ) radi o noi se. The
fi rst suppressi on strategy i nvol ves preventi ng the
producti on of RFI and EMI el ectromagneti c si gnal s
at thei r sources. The second suppressi on strategy
i nvol ves preventi ng the recepti on of RFI and EMI
el ectromagneti c si gnal s by the audi o system compo-
nents.
The use of brai ded ground straps i n key l ocati ons
i s part of the RFI and EMI preventi on strategy.
These ground straps ensure adequate ground paths,
parti cul arl y for hi gh current components such as
many of those found i n the starti ng, chargi ng, i gni -
ti on, engi ne control and transmi ssi on control sys-
tems. An i nsuffi ci ent ground path for any of these
hi gh current components may resul t i n radi o noi se
caused by i nduced vol tages created as the hi gh cur-
rent seeks al ternati ve ground paths through compo-
nents or ci rcui ts i ntended for use by, or i n cl ose
proxi mi ty to the audi o system components or ci rcui ts.
Preventi ng the recepti on of RFI and EMI i s accom-
pl i shed by ensuri ng that the audi o system compo-
nents are correctl y i nstal l ed i n the vehi cl e. Loose,
corroded or i mproperl y sol dered wi re harness connec-
ti ons, i mproperl y routed wi ri ng and i nadequate audi o
system component groundi ng can al l contri bute to
the recepti on of RFI and EMI . A properl y grounded
antenna body and radi o chassi s, as wel l as a shi el ded
antenna coaxi al cabl e wi th cl ean and ti ght connec-
ti ons wi l l each hel p reduce the potenti al for recepti on
of RFI and EMI .

OPERATION
The si x swi tches i n the two remote radi o swi tch
uni ts are normal l y open, resi stor mul ti pl exed
momentary swi tches that are hard wi red to the I nte-
grated Power Modul e (I PM) through the cl ockspri ng.
The I PM sends a fi ve vol t reference si gnal to both
swi tch uni ts on one ci rcui t, and senses the status of
al l of the swi tches by readi ng the vol tage drop on a
second ci rcui t.
When the I PM senses an i nput (vol tage drop) from
any one of the remote radi o swi tches, i t sends the
proper swi tch status messages on the Programmabl e
Communi cati on I nterface (PCI ) data bus network to
the radi o recei ver. The el ectroni c ci rcui try wi thi n the
radi o recei ver i s programmed to respond to these
remote radi o swi tch status messages by adjusti ng the
radi o setti ngs as requested. For di agnosi s of the I PM
or the PCI data bus, the use of a DRB I I I scan tool
and the proper Di agnosti c Procedures manual are
recommended.

the past, i f i nformati on from one sensi ng devi ce was
requi red by several control l ers, a wi re from each con-
trol l er needed to be connected i n paral l el to that sen-
sor. I n addi ti on, each control l er uti l i zi ng anal og
sensors requi red an Anal og/Di gi tal (A/D) converter i n
order to read these sensor i nputs. Mul ti pl exi ng
reduces wi re harness compl exi ty, sensor current
l oads and control l er hardware because each sensi ng
devi ce i s connected to onl y one control l er, whi ch
reads and di stri butes the sensor i nformati on to the
other control l ers over the data bus. Al so, because
each control l er on the data bus can access the con-
trol l er sensor i nputs to every other control l er on the
DR ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES 8E - 1
data bus, more functi on and feature capabi l i ti es are
possi bl e.
I n addi ti on to reduci ng wi re harness compl exi ty,
component sensor current l oads and control l er hard-
ware, mul ti pl exi ng offers a di agnosti c advantage. A
mul ti pl ex system al l ows the i nformati on fl owi ng
between control l ers to be moni tored usi ng a di agnos-
ti c scan tool . The Dai ml erChrysl er system al l ows an
el ectroni c control modul e to broadcast message data
out onto the bus where al l other el ectroni c control
modul es can hear the messages that are bei ng sent.
When a modul e hears a message on the data bus
that i t requi res, i t rel ays that message to i ts mi cro-
processor. Each modul e i gnores the messages on the
data bus that are bei ng sent to other el ectroni c con-
trol modul es.
OPERATION
Data exchange between modul es i s achi eved by seri al
transmi ssi on of encoded data over a si ngl e wi re broad-
cast network. The wi re col ors used for the PCI data bus
ci rcui ts are yel l ow wi th a vi ol et tracer, or vi ol et wi th a
yel l ow tracer, dependi ng upon the appl i cati on. The PCI
data bus messages are carri ed over the bus i n the form
of Vari abl e Pul se Wi dth Modul ated (VPWM) si gnal s.
The PCI data bus speed i s an average 10.4 Ki l o-bi ts per
second (Kbps). By compari son, the pri or two-wi re
Chrysl er Col l i si on Detecti on (CCD) data bus system i s
desi gned to run at 7.8125 Kbps.
The vol tage network used to transmi t messages
requi res bi asi ng and termi nati on. Each modul e on
the PCI data bus system provi des i ts own bi asi ng
and termi nati on. Each modul e (al so referred to as a
node) termi nates the bus through a termi nati ng
resi stor and a termi nati ng capaci tor. There are two
types of nodes on the bus. The domi nant node termi -
nates the bus through a 1 KW resi stor and a 3300 pF
capaci tor. The Powertrai n Control Modul e (PCM) i s
the onl y domi nant node for the PCI data bus system.
A standard node termi nates the bus through an 11
KW resi stor and a 330 pF capaci tor.
The modul es bi as the bus when transmi tti ng a
message. The PCI bus uses l ow and hi gh vol tage l ev-
el s to generate si gnal s. Low vol tage i s around zero
vol ts and the hi gh vol tage i s about seven and one-
hal f vol ts. The l ow and hi gh vol tage l evel s are gener-
ated by means of vari abl e-pul se wi dth modul ati on to
form si gnal s of varyi ng l ength. The Vari abl e Pul se
Wi dth Modul ati on (VPWM) used i n PCI bus messag-
i ng i s a method i n whi ch both the state of the bus
and the wi dth of the pul se are used to encode bi t
i nformati on. A zero bi t i s defi ned as a short l ow
pul se or a l ong hi gh pul se. A one bi t i s defi ned as a
l ong l ow pul se or a short hi gh pul se. A l ow (passi ve)
state on the bus does not necessari l y mean a zero bi t.
I t al so depends upon pul se wi dth. I f the wi dth i s
short, i t stands for a zero bi t. I f the wi dth i s l ong, i t
stands for a one bi t. Si mi l arl y, a hi gh (acti ve) state
does not necessari l y mean a one bi t. Thi s too depends
upon pul se wi dth. I f the wi dth i s short, i t stands for
a one bi t. I f the wi dth i s l ong, i t stands for a zero bi t.
I n the case where there are successi ve zero or one
data bi ts, both the state of the bus and the wi dth of
the pul se are changed al ternatel y. Thi s encodi ng
scheme i s used for two reasons. Fi rst, thi s ensures
that onl y one symbol per transi ti on and one transi -
ti on per symbol exi sts. On each transi ti on, every
transmi tti ng modul e must decode the symbol on the
bus and begi n ti mi ng of the next symbol . Si nce ti m-
i ng of the next symbol begi ns wi th the l ast transi ti on
detected on the bus, al l of the modul es are re-syn-
chroni zed wi th each symbol . Thi s ensures that there
are no accumul ated ti mi ng errors duri ng PCI data
bus communi cati on.
The second reason for thi s encodi ng scheme i s to
guarantee that the zero bi t i s the domi nant bi t on
the bus. When two modul es are transmi tti ng si mul -
taneousl y on the bus, there must be some form of
arbi trati on to determi ne whi ch modul e wi l l gai n con-
trol . A data col l i si on occurs when two modul es are
transmi tti ng di fferent messages at the same ti me.
When a modul e i s transmi tti ng on the bus, i t i s read-
i ng the bus at the same ti me to ensure message
i ntegri ty. When a col l i si on i s detected, the modul e
that transmi tted the one bi t stops sendi ng messages
over the bus unti l the bus becomes i dl e.
Each modul e i s capabl e of transmi tti ng and recei v-
i ng data si mul taneousl y. The typi cal PCI bus mes-
sage has the fol l owi ng four components:
Message Header - One to three bytes i n l ength.
The header contai ns i nformati on i denti fyi ng the mes-
sage type and l ength, message pri ori ty, target mod-
ul e(s) and sendi ng modul e.
Data Byte(s) - Thi s i s the actual message that
i s bei ng sent.
Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) Byte - Thi s
byte i s used to detect errors duri ng a message trans-
mi ssi on.
In-Frame Response (IFR) byte(s) - I f a
response i s requi red from the target modul e(s), i t can
be sent duri ng thi s frame. Thi s functi on i s descri bed
i n greater detai l i n the fol l owi ng paragraph.
The I FR consi sts of one or more bytes, whi ch are
transmi tted duri ng a message. I f the sendi ng modul e
requi res i nformati on to be recei ved i mmedi atel y, the
target modul e(s) can send data over the bus duri ng
the ori gi nal message. Thi s al l ows the sendi ng modul e
to recei ve ti me-cri ti cal i nformati on wi thout havi ng to
wai t for the target modul e to access the bus. After
the I FR i s recei ved, the sendi ng modul e broadcasts
an End of Frame (EOF) message and rel eases control
of the bus.

The heated seat modul e cannot be repai red. I f the
heated seat modul e i s damaged or faul ty, the enti re
modul e must be repl aced.
OPERATION
The heated seat modul e operates on fused battery
current recei ved from the i ntegrated power modul e.
I nputs to the modul e i ncl ude a resi stor mul ti pl exed
heated seat swi tch request ci rcui t for each of the two
heated seat swi tches and the heated seat sensor
i nputs from the seat cushi ons of each front seat. I n
response to those i nputs the heated seat modul e con-
trol s battery current feeds to the heated seat el e-

tai ns a Radi o Frequency (RF) transcei ver and a cen-
tral processi ng uni t, whi ch i ncl udes the Sentry Key
I mmobi l i zer System (SKI S) program l ogi c. The SKI S
programmi ng enabl es the SKI M to program and
retai n i n memory the codes of at l east two, but no
more than ei ght el ectroni cal l y coded Sentry Key
transponders. The SKI S programmi ng al so enabl es
the SKI M to communi cate over the Programmabl e
Communi cati on I nterface (PCI ) bus network wi th the
Powertrai n Control Modul e (PCM) or El ectroni c Con-
trol Modul e (ECM), dependi ng on engi ne appl i cati on,
and/or the DRBI I I scan tool .
OPERATION
The SKI M transmi ts and recei ves RF si gnal s
through a tuned antenna encl osed wi thi n a mol ded
pl asti c ri ng that i s i ntegral to the SKI M housi ng.
When the SKI M i s properl y i nstal l ed on the steeri ng
col umn, the antenna ri ng i s ori ented around the i gni -
ti on l ock cyl i nder housi ng. Thi s antenna ri ng must be
l ocated wi thi n ei ght mi l l i meters (0.31 i nches) of the
Sentry Key i n order to ensure proper RF communi ca-
ti on between the SKI M and the Sentry Key tran-
sponder.
For added system securi ty, each SKI M i s pro-
grammed wi th a uni que Secret Key code and a
securi ty code. The SKI M keeps the Secret Key code
i n memory. The SKI M al so sends the Secret Key
code to each of the programmed Sentry Key tran-
sponders. The securi ty code i s used by the assembl y
pl ant to access the SKI S for i ni ti al i zati on, or by the
deal er techni ci an to access the system for servi ce.
The SKI M al so stores i n i ts memory the Vehi cl e
I denti fi cati on Number (VI N), whi ch i t l earns through
a PCI bus message from the PCM (NGC) or ECM
(Cummi ns) duri ng i ni ti al i zati on.
The SKI M and the PCM/ECM both use software
that i ncl udes a rol l i ng code al gori thm strategy, whi ch
hel ps to reduce the possi bi l i ty of unauthori zed SKI S
di sarmi ng. The rol l i ng code al gori thm ensures secu-
ri ty by preventi ng an overri de of the SKI S through
the unauthori zed substi tuti on of the SKI M or the
PCM/ECM. However, the use of thi s strategy al so
means that repl acement of ei ther the SKI M or the
PCM/ECM uni ts wi l l requi re a system i ni ti al i zati on
procedure to restore system operati on.
When the i gni ti on swi tch i s turned to the ON or
START posi ti ons, the SKI M transmi ts an RF si gnal
to exci te the Sentry Key transponder. The SKI M then
l i stens for a return RF si gnal from the transponder
of the Sentry Key that i s i nserted i n the i gni ti on l ock
cyl i nder. I f the SKI M recei ves an RF si gnal wi th
val i d Secret Key and transponder i denti fi cati on
codes, the SKI M sends a val i d key message to the
PCM/ECM over the PCI bus. I f the SKI M recei ves an
i nval i d RF si gnal or no response, i t sends i nval i d
key messages to the PCM/ECM. The PCM/ECM wi l l
enabl e or di sabl e engi ne operati on based upon the
status of the SKI M messages.
The SKI M al so sends messages to the I nstrument
Cl uster whi ch control s the VTSS i ndi cator LED. The
SKI M sends messages to the I nstrument Cl uster to
turn the LED on for about three seconds when the
i gni ti on swi tch i s turned to the ON posi ti on as a bul b
test. After compl eti on of the bul b test, the SKI M
sends bus messages to keep the LED off for a dura-
ti on of about one second. Then the SKI M sends mes-
sages to turn the LED on or off based upon the
resul ts of the SKI S sel f-tests. I f the VTSS i ndi cator
LED comes on and stays on after the bul b test, i t
i ndi cates that the SKI M has detected a system mal -
functi on and/or that the SKI S has become i nopera-
ti ve.
I f the SKI M detects an i nval i d key when the i gni -
ti on swi tch i s turned to the ON posi ti on, i t sends
messages to fl ash the VTSS i ndi cator LED. The
SKI M can al so send messages to fl ash the LED as an
i ndi cati on to the customer that the SKI S has been
pl aced i n i ts Customer Learn programmi ng mode.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - PCM/SKIM
PROGRAMMING
NOTE: There are two procedures for transfering the
secret key to the SKIM:
When ONLY the SKIM module is replaced, the
secret key is transfered from the PCM (NGC- gaso-
line engine) or ECM (Cummins - diesel engine) to
the SKIM. The ORGINAL KEYS may then be pro-
grammed to the SKIM.
When ONLY the PCM/ECM is replaced, then the
secret key is transfered from the SKIM to the PCM/
ECM. The ORGINAL KEYS may be used.
When BOTH the SKIM and the PCM/ECM are
replaced the secret key is transferred from the
SKIM to the PCM/ECM, and NEW KEYS must be
programmed.
NOTE: Before replacing the PCM/ECM (depending
on engine application), 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
PCM/ECM driver/control circuit failures are caused
by internal component failures (i.e. relay and sole-
noids) 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 Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) has set.
When a PCM/ECM and the Sentry Key I mmobi -
l i zer Modul e (SKI M) are repl aced at the same ti me
perform the fol l owi ng steps i n order:
(1) Program the new PCM/ECM.
(2) Program the new SKI M.

sages for 5 0.5 seconds. To exi t thi s mode, the
modul e must recei ve one i gni ti on message that
denotes that the i gni ti on i s i n the RUN posi ti on.
Sleep Mode wi l l be entered, from the Reduced
Power Mode, when no PCI traffi c has been sensed for
20 1 seconds. I f duri ng Sl eep Mode the modul e

wi l l need to be requested agai n.
At the end of the 5th bl ocked attempt, the shi ft
motor i s dri ven towards the l ast known D channel
posi ti on. I f thi s motor dri ve al l ows the transfer case
to reach the 2WD/AWD D channel , or the 2WD/AWD
between gear posi ti on on the 4H si de of 2WD/AWD,
the shi ft i s consi dered compl ete and the shi ft
attempts are ended.
I f the mode sensor i s i n the NEUTRAL regi on at

ti nue to make the shi ft attempts accordi ng to the
bl ocked shi ft strategy i ndependent of whether or not

For shi fts from NEUTRAL, i f al l 5 attempts fai l to
reach the desi red posi ti on (whi ch by defaul t i s 4H),
the motor wi l l be dri ven to stal l i n the di recti on of
4H or 4L, dependi ng on the achi eved posi ti on. I f the
transfer case has reached the 2WD/AWD or 4L
between gear posi ti on nearest the NEUTRAL posi -
ti ons and the shi ft condi ti ons are no l onger bei ng

respondi ng D channel . Otherwi se, the transfer case
wi l l be dri ven i n the di recti on opposi te the l ast
attempt wi th the desi red target bei ng 4H or 4L.
I f the transfer case reaches the 2WD/AWD D
channel when bei ng dri ven i n the 4H di recti on, then

SHIFT ATTEMPT LIMIT
To protect the transfer case system, the TCCM wi l l

DESCRIPTION
The Transmi ssi on Control Modul e (TCM) (Fi g. 9)
may be sub-modul e wi thi n the Powertrai n Control
Modul e (PCM), Engi ne Control Modul e (ECM - Di esel
onl y) (Fi g. 10), or a standal one modul e, dependi ng on
the vehi cl e engi ne. The PCM, and TCM when
equi pped, i s l ocated at the ri ght rear of the engi ne
compartment, near the ri ght i nner fender.
OPERATION
The Transmi ssi on Control Modul e (TCM) control s
al l el ectroni c operati ons of the transmi ssi on. The
TCM recei ves i nformati on regardi ng vehi cl e opera-
ti on from both di rect and i ndi rect i nputs, and sel ects
the operati onal mode of the transmi ssi on. Di rect
i nputs are hardwi red to, and used speci fi cal l y by the
TCM. I ndi rect i nputs are shared wi th the TCM vi a
the vehi cl e communi cati on bus.
Some exampl es of direct inputs to the TCM are:
Battery (B+) vol tage
I gni ti on ON vol tage
Transmi ssi on Control Rel ay (Swi tched B+)
Throttl e Posi ti on Sensor
Crankshaft Posi ti on Sensor
Transmi ssi on Range Sensor
Pressure Swi tches

Based on the i nformati on recei ved from these var-
i ous i nputs, the TCM determi nes the appropri ate
shi ft schedul e and shi ft poi nts, dependi ng on the
present operati ng condi ti ons and dri ver demand.
Thi s i s possi bl e through the control of vari ous di rect
and i ndi rect outputs.

BATTERY FEED
A fused, di rect battery feed to the TCM i s used for
conti nuous power. Thi s battery vol tage i s necessary
to retai n memory i n the TCM. When the battery (B+)
i s di sconnected, thi s memory i s l ost. When the bat-
tery (B+) i s restored, thi s memory l oss i s detected by
the TCM and a Di agnosti c Troubl e Code (DTC) i s set.
CLUTCH VOLUME INDEXES (CVI)
An i mportant functi on of the TCM i s to moni tor
Cl utch Vol ume I ndexes (CVI ). CVI s represent the vol -
ume of fl ui d needed to compress a cl utch pack.
The TCM moni tors gear rati o changes by moni tor-
i ng the I nput and Output Speed Sensors. The I nput,
or Turbi ne Speed Sensor sends an el ectri cal si gnal to
the TCM that represents i nput shaft rpm. The Out-
put Speed Sensor provi des the TCM wi th output
shaft speed i nformati on.
By compari ng the two i nputs, the TCM can deter-
mi ne transmi ssi on gear posi ti on. Thi s i s i mportant to
the CVI cal cul ati on because the TCM determi nes
CVI s by moni tori ng how l ong i t takes for a gear
change to occur (Fi g. 11).
Gear rati os can be determi ned by usi ng the
DRBI I I Scan Tool and readi ng the I nput/Output
Speed Sensor val ues i n the Moni tors di spl ay. Gear
rati o can be obtai ned by di vi di ng the I nput Speed
Sensor val ue by the Output Speed Sensor val ue.
For exampl e, i f the i nput shaft i s rotati ng at 1000
rpm and the output shaft i s rotati ng at 500 rpm,
then the TCM can determi ne that the gear rati o i s
2:1. I n di rect dri ve (3rd gear), the gear rati o changes
to 1:1. The gear rati o changes as cl utches are appl i ed
and rel eased. By moni tori ng the l ength of ti me i t
takes for the gear rati o to change fol l owi ng a shi ft
request, the TCM can determi ne the vol ume of fl ui d
used to appl y or rel ease a fri cti on el ement.
The vol ume of transmi ssi on fl ui d needed to appl y
the fri cti on el ements are conti nuousl y updated for
adapti ve control s. As fri cti on materi al wears, the vol -
ume of fl ui d need to appl y the el ement i ncreases.
Certai n mechani cal probl ems wi thi n the i nput

OPERATION
The battery system i s desi gned to provi de a safe,

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - BATTERY SYSTEM
The battery, starti ng, and chargi ng systems i n the

as a compl ete system. I n order for the engi ne to start
and the battery to mai ntai n i ts charge properl y, al l of
the components that are used i n these systems must
perform wi thi n speci fi cati ons. I t i s i mportant that
the battery, starti ng, and chargi ng systems be thor-
oughl y tested and i nspected any ti me a battery needs
to be charged or repl aced. The cause of abnormal bat-
tery di scharge, overchargi ng or earl y battery fai l ure
must be di agnosed and corrected before a battery i s
repl aced and before a vehi cl e i s returned to servi ce.
The servi ce i nformati on for these systems has been
separated wi thi n thi s servi ce manual to make i t eas-
i er to l ocate the speci fi c i nformati on you are seeki ng.
However, when attempti ng to di agnose any of these

WARNING: NEVER EXCEED TWENTY AMPERES
WHEN CHARGING A COLD (-1 C [30 F] OR
LOWER) BATTERY. THE BATTERY MAY ARC INTER-
NALLY AND EXPLODE. PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR
VEHICLE DAMAGE MAY RESULT.
CAUTION: Always disconnect and isolate the bat-
tery negative cable before charging a battery. Do
not exceed sixteen volts while charging a battery.
Damage to the vehicle electrical system compo-
nents may result.
CAUTION: Battery electrolyte will bubble inside the
battery case during normal battery charging. Elec-
trolyte boiling or being discharged from the battery
vents indicates a battery overcharging condition.
Immediately reduce the charging rate or turn off the
charger to evaluate the battery condition. Damage
to the battery may result from overcharging.
CAUTION: The battery should not be hot to the
touch. If the battery feels hot to the touch, turn off
the charger and let the battery cool before continu-
ing the charging operation. Damage to the battery
may result.
NOTE: Models equipped with the diesel engine are
equipped with two 12-volt batteries, connected in
parallel (positive-to-positive and negative-to-nega-
tive). In order to ensure proper charging of each
battery, these batteries MUST be disconnected from
each other, as well as from the vehicle electrical
system while being charged.
Some battery chargers are equi pped wi th pol ari ty-
sensi ng ci rcui try. Thi s ci rcui try protects the battery
charger and the battery from bei ng damaged i f they
are i mproperl y connected. I f the battery state-of-

DRAW TEST
The term I gni ti on-Off Draw (I OD) i denti fi es a nor-
mal condi ti on where power i s bei ng drai ned from the
battery wi th the i gni ti on swi tch i n the Off posi ti on. A
normal vehi cl e el ectri cal system wi l l draw from fi ve
to thi rty-fi ve mi l l i amperes (0.005 to 0.035 ampere)
wi th the i gni ti on swi tch i n the Off posi ti on, and al l
non-i gni ti on control l ed ci rcui ts i n proper worki ng
order. Up to thi rty-fi ve mi l l i amperes are needed to
enabl e the memory functi ons for the Powertrai n Con-
trol Modul e (PCM), di gi tal cl ock, el ectroni cal l y tuned
radi o, and other modul es whi ch may vary wi th the
vehi cl e equi pment.
A vehi cl e that has not been operated for approxi -
matel y twenty days, may di scharge the battery to an
i nadequate l evel . When a vehi cl e wi l l not be used for
twenty days or more (stored), remove the I OD fuse
from the I ntegrated Power Modul e (I PM). Thi s wi l l
reduce battery di schargi ng.
Excessi ve I OD can be caused by:
El ectri cal i tems l eft on.
Faul ty or i mproperl y adjusted swi tches.
Faul ty or shorted el ectroni c modul es and compo-
nents.
An i nternal l y shorted generator.
I ntermi ttent shorts i n the wi ri ng.
I f the I OD i s over thi rty-fi ve mi l l i amperes, the
probl em must be found and corrected before repl ac-
i ng a battery. I n most cases, the battery can be
charged and returned to servi ce after the excessi ve
I OD condi ti on has been corrected.
(1) Veri fy that al l el ectri cal accessori es are off.
Turn off al l l amps, remove the i gni ti on key, and cl ose

ASD rel ay i s on, vol tage i s suppl i ed to the ASD rel ay
sense ci rcui t at the PCM (ECM Di esel ). Thi s vol tage
i s connected through the PCM (ECM Di esel ) and sup-
pl i ed to one of the generator fi el d termi nal s (Gen.
Source +) at the back of the generator.
The amount of di rect current produced by the gen-
erator i s control l ed by the EVR (fi el d control ) ci r-
cui try contai ned wi thi n the PCM (ECM Di esel ). Thi s
ci rcui try i s connected i n seri es wi th the second rotor
fi el d termi nal and ground.
A battery temperature sensor, l ocated i n the bat-
tery tray housi ng, i s used to sense battery tempera-
ture. Thi s temperature data, al ong wi th data from
moni tored l i ne vol tage, i s used by the PCM (ECM
Di esel ) to vary the battery chargi ng rate. Thi s i s
done by cycl i ng the ground path to control the
strength of the rotor magneti c fi el d. The PCM then
compensates and regul ates generator current output

BATTERY TEMPERATURE
SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
The Battery Temperature Sensor (BTS) i s attached
to the battery tray l ocated under the battery.
OPERATION
The BTS i s used to determi ne the battery temper-
ature and control battery chargi ng rate. Thi s temper-
ature data, al ong wi th data from moni tored l i ne
vol tage, i s used by the PCM (ECM Di esel ) to vary the
battery chargi ng rate. System vol tage wi l l be hi gher
at col der temperatures and i s gradual l y reduced at
warmer temperatures.
The PCM sends 5 vol ts to the sensor and i s
grounded through the sensor return l i ne. As temper-
ature i ncreases, resi stance i n the sensor decreases
and the detecti on vol tage at the PCM i ncreases.
The BTS i s al so used for OBD I I di agnosti cs. Cer-
tai n faul ts and OBD I I moni tors are ei ther enabl ed
or di sabl ed, dependi ng upon BTS i nput (for exampl e,
di sabl e purge and enabl e Leak Detecti on Pump

DESCRIPTION
The starti ng system consi sts of:
Starter rel ay
Starter motor (i ncl udi ng an i ntegral starter sol e-
noi d)
Other components to be consi dered as part of start-
i ng system are:
Battery
Battery cabl es
I gni ti on swi tch and key l ock cyl i nder
Cl utch pedal posi ti on swi tch (manual transmi s-
si on)
Park/neutral posi ti on swi tch (automati c trans-
mi ssi on)
Wi re harnesses and connecti ons.
The Battery, Starti ng, and Chargi ng systems oper-
ate i n conjuncti on wi th one another, and must be
tested as a compl ete system. For correct operati on of
starti ng/chargi ng systems, al l components used i n
these 3 systems must perform wi thi n speci fi cati ons.
When attempti ng to di agnose any of these systems, i t
i s i mportant that you keep thei r i nterdependency i n
mi nd.
The di agnosti c procedures used i n each of these
groups i ncl ude the most basi c conventi onal di agnosti c
methods, to the more sophi sti cated On-Board Di ag-
nosti cs (OBD) bui l t i nto the Powertrai n Control Mod-
ul e (PCM). Use of an i nducti on-type mi l l i ampere
ammeter, vol t/ohmmeter, battery charger, carbon pi l e
rheostat (l oad tester), and 12-vol t test l amp may be
requi red.
Certai n starti ng system components are moni tored
by the PCM and may produce a Di agnosti c Troubl e
Code (DTC). Refer to Di agnosti c Troubl e Codes i n
Emi ssi on Control for a l i st of codes.
OPERATION
The starti ng system components form two separate
ci rcui ts. A hi gh-amperage feed ci rcui t that feeds the
starter motor between 150 and 350 amperes (700
amperes - di esel engi ne), and a l ow-amperage control
ci rcui t that operates on l ess than 20 amperes. The
hi gh-amperage feed ci rcui t components i ncl ude the
battery, the battery cabl es, the contact di sc porti on of
the starter sol enoi d, and the starter motor. The l ow-
amperage control ci rcui t components i ncl ude the i gni -
ti on swi tch, the cl utch pedal posi ti on swi tch (manual
transmi ssi on), the park/neutral posi ti on swi tch (auto-
mati c transmi ssi on), the starter rel ay, the el ectro-
magneti c wi ndi ngs of the starter sol enoi d, and the
connecti ng wi re harness components.
I f the vehi cl e i s equi pped wi th a manual transmi s-
si on, i t has a cl utch pedal posi ti on swi tch i nstal l ed i n
seri es between the i gni ti on swi tch and the coi l bat-
tery termi nal of the starter rel ay. Thi s normal l y open
swi tch prevents the starter rel ay from bei ng ener-
gi zed when the i gni ti on swi tch i s turned to the Start
posi ti on, unl ess the cl utch pedal i s depressed. Thi s
feature prevents starter motor operati on whi l e the
cl utch di sc and the fl ywheel are engaged. The starter
rel ay coi l ground termi nal i s al ways grounded on
vehi cl es wi th a manual transmi ssi on.
8F - 26 STARTING DR
I f the vehi cl e i s equi pped wi th an automati c trans-
mi ssi on, battery vol tage i s suppl i ed through the l ow-
amperage control ci rcui t to the coi l battery termi nal
of the starter rel ay when the i gni ti on swi tch i s
turned to the Start posi ti on. The park/neutral posi -
ti on swi tch i s i nstal l ed i n seri es between the starter
rel ay coi l ground termi nal and ground. Thi s normal l y
open swi tch prevents the starter rel ay from bei ng
energi zed and the starter motor from operati ng
unl ess the automati c transmi ssi on gear sel ector i s i n
the Neutral or Park posi ti ons.
When the starter rel ay coi l i s energi zed, the nor-
mal l y open rel ay contacts cl ose. The rel ay contacts
connect the rel ay common feed termi nal to the rel ay
normal l y open termi nal . The cl osed rel ay contacts
energi ze the starter sol enoi d coi l wi ndi ngs.
The energi zed sol enoi d pul l -i n coi l pul l s i n the sol e-
noi d pl unger. The sol enoi d pl unger pul l s the shi ft
l ever i n the starter motor. Thi s engages the starter
overrunni ng cl utch and pi ni on gear wi th the starter
ri ng gear.
As the sol enoi d pl unger reaches the end of i ts
travel , the sol enoi d contact di sc compl etes the hi gh-
amperage starter feed ci rcui t and energi zes the sol e-
noi d pl unger hol d-i n coi l . Current now fl ows between
the sol enoi d battery termi nal and the starter motor,
energi zi ng the starter.
Once the engi ne starts, the overrunni ng cl utch pro-
tects the starter motor from damage by al l owi ng the
starter pi ni on gear to spi n faster than the pi ni on
shaft. When the i gni ti on swi tch i s rel eased to the On
posi ti on, the starter rel ay coi l i s de-energi zed. Thi s
causes the rel ay contacts to open. When the rel ay
contacts open, the starter sol enoi d pl unger hol d-i n
coi l i s de-energi zed.
When the sol enoi d pl unger hol d-i n coi l i s de-ener-
gi zed, the sol enoi d pl unger return spri ng returns the
pl unger to i ts rel axed posi ti on. Thi s causes the con-
tact di sc to open the starter feed ci rcui t, and the shi ft
l ever to di sengage the overrunni ng cl utch and pi ni on
gear from the starter ri ng gear.

HEATED SEAT ELEMENT
DESCRIPTION
Vehi cl es equi pped wi th the opti onal heated seat
system have two sets of el ectri cal l y operated heati ng
el ement gri ds l ocated i n each front seat, one set for
the seat cushi on and the other set for the seat back.
Each of the heated seat el ement gri ds consi sts of a
si ngl e l ength of resi stor wi re that i s routed i n a zi g-
zag pattern and captured between a coveri ng and the
adhesi ve foam rubber backi ng. Short pi gtai l wi res
wi th connectors (Fi g. 2) are sol dered to each end of
each resi stor wi re el ement gri d, whi ch connect al l of
the el ement gri ds to the heated seat modul e through
the seat wi re harness.
One temperature sensor i s used for each front seat,
and i t i s l ocated i n the center i nsert area of the seat
cushi on el ement. The heated seat sensors and thei r

pi gtai l wi res are al so captured between a coveri ng
and the adhesi ve foam rubber backi ng. The heated
seat sensors are Negati ve Thermal Coeffi ci ent (NTC)
thermi stors. The sensors for both front seats recei ve
a vol tage feed from a si ngl e output of the heated seat
modul e, but the modul e recei ves i ndi vi dual sensor
i nputs from the dri ver si de and passenger si de sen-
sors.
The heated seat el ements and sensors shoul d not
be repai red. I f damaged or faul ty, the heated seat el e-
ment assembl y must be repl aced.
OPERATION
One end of the heated seat el ement resi stor wi re i s
connected to ground at al l ti mes through a spl i ce i n
the heated seat modul e ground ci rcui t. Battery cur-
rent i s di rected to the other end of the heated seat
el ement resi stor wi re by the energi zed N-channel
Fi el d Effect Transi stor (N-FET) l ocated wi thi n the
heated seat modul e. The heated seat modul e wi l l
energi ze the N-FET onl y when the heated seat
swi tch i s i n the Low or Hi gh posi ti on and the heated
seat sensor i ndi cates that the seat cushi on surface
temperature i s bel ow the sel ected (Low or Hi gh) tem-
perature set poi nt. As el ectri cal current passes
through the heati ng el ement gri d, the resi stance of
the wi re used i n the el ement di sperses some of that
el ectri cal current i n the form of heat. The heat pro-
duced by the heated seat el ement gri d then radi ates
through the seat tri m cover, warmi ng i ts occupant.
The resi stance of the heated seat sensor i ncreases
and decreases as the surface temperature of the seat
cushi on cover changes. The heated seat modul e sup-
pl i es each sensor wi th a 5v vol tage feed, then uses
the sensor resi stance to determi ne when the heated
seat el ement gri ds need to be cycl ed on or off i n order
to mai ntai n the sel ected temperature set poi nt.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - HEATED SEAT
ELEMENT
The heated seat modul e wi l l sel f-di agnose shorted
or open heated seat el ement ci rcui ts and sensor ci r-
cui ts. Refer to Heated Seat System Di agnosi s and
Testi ng i n thi s secti on for addi ti onal di agnosi s and
testi ng procedures. To manual l y check the heated
seat el ement, proceed as fol l ows. The wi re harness
connectors for the seat cushi on and seat back heati ng
el ements and sensor are l ocated on the ri ght si de of
the seat, near the edge of the seat cushi on frame.
The proper connector can be i denti fi ed by the foam
wrappi ng.
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 inter-
mittent 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) Posi ti on the appropri ate seat i n the ful l for-
ward posi ti on.
(2) Make certai n the i gni ti on swi tch i s i n the OFF

(3) Di sconnect the heated seat el ement connector
whi ch requi res testi ng. Check for conti nui ty between
the two heated seat el ement ci rcui t cavi ti es whi l e
movi ng the appropri ate seat cushi on. Refer to Wir-
ing for the l ocati on of compl ete heated seat system
wi ri ng di agrams. There shoul d be conti nui ty. I f OK,
the el ements wi thi n the seat assembl y test OK, go to
Step 4. I f not OK, repl ace the faul ty seat heati ng el e-
ment, refer to the procedure i n thi s secti on.
(4) Test the seat wi re harness between the heated
seat modul e connector and the appropri ate heated
seat wi re harness connector for shorted or open ci r-
cui ts. I f OK, el ement i s OK, proceed wi th testi ng the

OPERATION
3. 7L V-6
The Camshaft Posi ti on Sensor (CMP) sensor on the
3.7L V-6 engi ne contai ns a hal l effect devi ce referred
to as a sync si gnal generator. A rotati ng target wheel
(tonewheel ) for the CMP i s l ocated at the front of the
camshaft for the ri ght cyl i nder head (Fi g. 6). Thi s
sync si gnal generator detects notches l ocated on a
tonewheel . As the tonewheel rotates, the notches
pass through the sync si gnal generator. The si gnal
from the CMP sensor i s used i n conjuncti on wi th the
Crankshaft Posi ti on Sensor (CKP) to di fferenti ate
between fuel i njecti on and spark events. I t i s al so
used to synchroni ze the fuel i njectors wi th thei r
respecti ve cyl i nders.
When the l eadi ng edge of the tonewheel notch
enters the ti p of the CMP, the i nterrupti on of mag-
neti c fi el d causes the vol tage to swi tch hi gh, resul t-
i ng i n a sync si gnal of approxi matel y 5 vol ts.
When the trai l i ng edge of the tonewheel notch
l eaves then ti p of the CMP, the change of the mag-
neti c fi el d causes the sync si gnal vol tage to swi tch
l ow to 0 vol ts.

The CMP sensor on the 4.7L engi ne contai ns a hal l
effect devi ce cal l ed a sync si gnal generator to gener-
ate a fuel sync si gnal . Thi s sync si gnal generator
detects notches l ocated on a tonewheel . The tone-
wheel i s l ocated at the front of the camshaft for the
ri ght cyl i nder head (Fi g. 7). As the tonewheel rotates,
the notches pass through the sync si gnal generator.
The pattern of the notches (vi ewed counter-cl ockwi se
from front of engi ne) i s: 1 notch, 2 notches, 3 notches,
3 notches, 2 notches 1 notch, 3 notches and 1 notch.
The si gnal from the CMP sensor i s used i n conjunc-
ti on wi th the crankshaft posi ti on sensor to di fferenti -
ate between fuel i njecti on and spark events. I t i s al so
used to synchroni ze the fuel i njectors wi th thei r
respecti ve cyl i nders.
5. 7L V-8
The CMP sensor i s used i n conjuncti on wi th the
crankshaft posi ti on sensor to di fferenti ate between
fuel i njecti on and spark events. I t i s al so used to syn-
chroni ze the fuel i njectors wi th thei r respecti ve cyl i n-
ders. The sensor generates el ectri cal pul ses. These
pul ses (si gnal s) are sent to the Powertrai n Control
Modul e (PCM). The PCM wi l l then determi ne crank-
shaft posi ti on from both the camshaft posi ti on sensor
and crankshaft posi ti on sensor.
The tonewheel i s l ocated at the front of the cam-
shaft (Fi g. 8). As the tonewheel rotates, notches (Fi g.
8) pass through the sync si gnal generator.
When the cam gear i s rotati ng, the sensor wi l l
detect the notches. I nput vol tage from the sensor to
the PCM wi l l then swi tch from a l ow (approxi matel y
0.3 vol ts) to a hi gh (approxi matel y 5 vol ts). When the
sensor detects a notch has passed, the i nput vol tage
swi tches back l ow to approxi matel y 0.3 vol ts.

DESCRIPTION
The sensors are used onl y wi th 3.7L V-6, 4.7L V-8
and 5.7L V-8 engi nes. On 3.7L V-6 and 4.7L V-8
engi nes, the 2 knock sensors are bol ted i nto the cyl -
i nder bl ock under the i ntake mani fol d.
On 5.7L V-8 engi nes, 2 knock sensors are al so
used. These are bol ted i nto each si de of the cyl i nder
bl ock (outsi de) under the exhaust mani fol d.
OPERATION
3. 7L V-6 / 4. 7L V-8 / 5. 7L V-8 Engines Only
Two knock sensors are used; one for each cyl i nder
bank. When the knock sensor detects a knock i n one
of the cyl i nders on the correspondi ng bank, i t sends
an i nput si gnal to the Powertrai n Control Modul e
(PCM). I n response, the PCM retards i gni ti on ti mi ng
for al l cyl i nders by a schedul ed amount.
8I - 14 IGNITION CONTROL DR
IGNITION COIL (Continued)
Knock sensors contai n a pi ezoel ectri c materi al
whi ch constantl y vi brates and sends an i nput vol tage
(si gnal ) to the PCM whi l e the engi ne operates. As the
i ntensi ty of the crystal s vi brati on i ncreases, the
knock sensor output vol tage al so i ncreases.
The vol tage si gnal produced by the knock sensor
i ncreases wi th the ampl i tude of vi brati on. The PCM
recei ves the knock sensor vol tage si gnal as an i nput.
I f the si gnal ri ses above a predetermi ned l evel , the
PCM wi l l store that val ue i n memory and retard
i gni ti on ti mi ng to reduce engi ne knock. I f the knock
sensor vol tage exceeds a preset val ue, the PCM
retards i gni ti on ti mi ng for al l cyl i nders. I t i s not a
sel ecti ve cyl i nder retard.
The PCM i gnores knock sensor i nput duri ng engi ne
i dl e condi ti ons. Once the engi ne speed exceeds a
speci fi ed val ue, knock retard i s al l owed.
Knock retard uses i ts own short term and l ong
term memory program.
Long term memory stores previ ous detonati on
i nformati on i n i ts battery-backed RAM. The maxi -
mum authori ty that l ong term memory has over ti m-
i ng retard can be cal i brated.
Short term memory i s al l owed to retard ti mi ng up
to a preset amount under al l operati ng condi ti ons (as
l ong as rpm i s above the mi ni mum rpm) except at
Wi de Open Throttl e (WOT). The PCM, usi ng short
term memory, can respond qui ckl y to retard ti mi ng
when engi ne knock i s detected. Short term memory
i s l ost any ti me the i gni ti on key i s turned off.
NOTE: Over or under tightening the sensor mount-
ing bolts will affect knock sensor performance, pos-
sibly causing improper spark control. Always use
the specified torque when installing the knock sen-
sors.

SPARK PLUG
DESCRIPTION
Resi stor type spark pl ugs are used on al l engi nes.
Si xteen spark pl ugs (2 per cyl i nder) are used wi th
5.7L V-8 engi nes.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - SPARK PLUG
CONDITIONS
To prevent possi bl e pre-i gni ti on and/or mechani cal
engi ne damage, the correct type/heat range/number
spark pl ug must be used.
Al ways use the recommended torque when ti ghten-
i ng spark pl ugs. I ncorrect torque can di stort the
spark pl ug and change pl ug gap. I t can al so pul l the
pl ug threads and do possi bl e damage to both the
spark pl ug and the cyl i nder head.
Remove the spark pl ugs and exami ne them for
burned el ectrodes and foul ed, cracked or broken por-
cel ai n i nsul ators. Keep pl ugs arranged i n the order
i n whi ch they were removed from the engi ne. A si n-
gl e pl ug di spl ayi ng an abnormal condi ti on i ndi cates
that a probl em exi sts i n the correspondi ng cyl i nder.
Repl ace spark pl ugs at the i nterval s recommended i n
the Lubri cati on and Mai ntenance secti on.
Spark pl ugs that have l ow mi l eage may be cl eaned
and reused i f not otherwi se defecti ve, carbon or oi l
foul ed.
CAUTION: Never use a motorized wire wheel brush
to clean the spark plugs. Metallic deposits will
remain on the spark plug insulator and will cause
plug misfire.
Spark pl ug resi stance val ues range from 6,000 to
20,000 ohms (when checked wi th at l east a 1000 vol t
spark pl ug tester). Do not use an ohmmeter to
check the resistance values of the spark plugs.
Inaccurate readings will result.
NORMAL OPERATING
The few deposi ts present on the spark pl ug wi l l
probabl y be l i ght tan or sl i ghtl y gray i n col or. Thi s i s
evi dent wi th most grades of commerci al gasol i ne
(Fi g. 23). There wi l l not be evi dence of el ectrode
burni ng. Gap growth wi l l not average more than
approxi matel y 0.025 mm (.001 i n) per 3200 km (2000
mi l es) of operati on. Spark pl ugs that have normal
wear can usual l y be cl eaned, have the el ectrodes
fi l ed, have the gap set and then be i nstal l ed.
Some fuel refi ners i n several areas of the Uni ted
States have i ntroduced a manganese addi ti ve (MMT)
for unl eaded fuel . Duri ng combusti on, fuel wi th MMT
causes the enti re ti p of the spark pl ug to be coated
wi th a rust col ored deposi t. Thi s rust col or can be
mi sdi agnosed as bei ng caused by cool ant i n the com-
busti on chamber. Spark pl ug performance may be
affected by MMT deposi ts.
COLD FOULING/CARBON FOULING
Col d foul i ng i s someti mes referred to as carbon
foul i ng. The deposi ts that cause col d foul i ng are basi -
cal l y carbon (Fi g. 23). A dry, bl ack deposi t on one or
two pl ugs i n a set may be caused by sti cki ng val ves
or defecti ve spark pl ug cabl es. Col d (carbon) foul i ng
of the enti re set of spark pl ugs may be caused by a
cl ogged ai r cl eaner el ement or repeated short operat-
i ng ti mes (short tri ps).
WET FOULING OR GAS FOULING
A spark pl ug coated wi th excessi ve wet fuel or oi l
i s wet foul ed. I n ol der engi nes, worn pi ston ri ngs,
l eaki ng val ve gui de seal s or excessi ve cyl i nder wear
can cause wet foul i ng. I n new or recentl y overhaul ed
engi nes, wet foul i ng may occur before break-i n (nor-
mal oi l control ) i s achi eved. Thi s condi ti on can usu-
al l y be resol ved by cl eani ng and rei nstal l i ng the
foul ed pl ugs.
OIL OR ASH ENCRUSTED
I f one or more spark pl ugs are oi l or oi l ash
encrusted (Fi g. 24), eval uate engi ne condi ti on for the
cause of oi l entry i nto that parti cul ar combusti on
chamber.

ELECTRODE GAP BRIDGING
El ectrode gap bri dgi ng may be traced to l oose
deposi ts i n the combusti on chamber. These deposi ts
accumul ate on the spark pl ugs duri ng conti nuous
stop-and-go dri vi ng. When the engi ne i s suddenl y
subjected to a hi gh torque l oad, deposi ts parti al l y l i q-
uefy and bri dge the gap between el ectrodes (Fi g. 25).
Thi s short ci rcui ts the el ectrodes. Spark pl ugs wi th
el ectrode gap bri dgi ng can be cl eaned usi ng standard
procedures.
SCAVENGER DEPOSITS
Fuel scavenger deposi ts may be ei ther whi te or yel -
l ow (Fi g. 26). They may appear to be harmful , but
thi s i s a normal condi ti on caused by chemi cal addi -
ti ves i n certai n fuel s. These addi ti ves are desi gned to
change the chemi cal nature of deposi ts and decrease
spark pl ug mi sfi re tendenci es. Noti ce that accumul a-
ti on on the ground el ectrode and shel l area may be
heavy, but the deposi ts are easi l y removed. Spark
pl ugs wi th scavenger deposi ts can be consi dered nor-
mal i n condi ti on and can be cl eaned usi ng standard
procedures.
CHIPPED ELECTRODE INSULATOR
A chi pped el ectrode i nsul ator usual l y resul ts from
bendi ng the center el ectrode whi l e adjusti ng the
spark pl ug el ectrode gap. Under certai n condi ti ons,
severe detonati on can al so separate the i nsul ator
from the center el ectrode (Fi g. 27). Spark pl ugs wi th
thi s condi ti on must be repl aced.
PREIGNITION DAMAGE
Prei gni ti on damage i s usual l y caused by excessi ve
combusti on chamber temperature. The center el ec-
trode di ssol ves fi rst and the ground el ectrode di s-
sol ves somewhat l atter (Fi g. 28). I nsul ators appear

Spark pl ugs are desi gned to operate wi thi n speci fi c
temperature ranges. Thi s depends upon the thi ck-
ness and l ength of the center el ectrodes porcel ai n

and the el ectri cal connecti ons, are conceal ed wi thi n
the i nstrument panel behi nd the cl uster bezel .
Besi des anal og gauges and i ndi cators, the EMI C
modul e i ncorporates two bl ue-green di gi tal Vacuum
Fl uorescent Di spl ay (VFD) uni ts for di spl ayi ng odom-
eter/tri p odometer i nformati on, engi ne hours, auto-
mati c transmi ssi on gear sel ector posi ti on (PRNDL),
several warni ng or remi nder i ndi cati ons and certai n
di agnosti c i nformati on. The i nstrument cl uster for
thi s model al so i ncl udes the hardware and software
necessary to serve as the el ectroni c body control mod-
ul e and i s someti mes referred to as the Cab Com-
partment Node or CCN.
The EMI C gauges and i ndi cators are vi si bl e
through a dedi cated openi ng i n the cl uster bezel on
the i nstrument panel and are protected by a cl ear
pl asti c cl uster l ens (Fi g. 2) that i s i ntegral to a cl us-
ter l ens, hood and mask uni t. Just behi nd the cl uster
l ens i s the cl uster hood and an i ntegral cl uster mask,
whi ch are constructed of mol ded bl ack pl asti c. The
cl uster hood serves as a vi sor and shi el ds the face of
the cl uster from ambi ent l i ght and refl ecti ons to
reduce gl are, whi l e the cl uster mask serves to sepa-
rate and defi ne the i ndi vi dual gauges and i ndi cators
of the EMI C. A bl ack pl asti c odometer/tri p odometer
swi tch button protrudes through dedi cated hol es i n
the cl uster mask and the cl uster l ens, l ocated near
the l ower edge of the cl uster just to the l eft of the
tachometer. The mol ded pl asti c EMI C l ens, hood and
mask uni t has four i ntegral mounti ng tabs, one each
on the upper and l ower outboard corners of the uni t.
These mounti ng tabs are used to secure the EMI C to
the mol ded pl asti c i nstrument panel cl uster carri er
wi th four screws.
The rear of the cl uster housi ng and the EMI C el ec-
troni c ci rcui try are protected by a mol ded pl asti c rear
cover, whi ch i s secured to the cl uster housi ng wi th a
si ngl e screw, whi l e ei ght screws i nstal l ed around the
outsi de peri meter of the rear cover secure i t to the
cl uster l ens, hood and mask uni t. The rear cover
i ncl udes cl earance hol es for servi ce access to each of
the el even i ncandescent bul b and bul b hol der uni ts
i nstal l ed on the cl uster ci rcui t board for general i l l u-
mi nati on l i ghti ng and for the cl uster connector recep-
tacl es. The connector receptacl es on the back of the
cl uster el ectroni c ci rcui t board connect the EMI C to
the vehi cl e el ectri cal system through three take outs
wi th connectors from the i nstrument panel wi re har-
ness. The EMI C al so has an i ntegral i nterface con-
nector on the back of the cl uster ci rcui t board that
joi ns i t to the opti onal external RKE recei ver through
a connector receptacl e that i s i ntegral to that uni t.
The rear cover i ncl udes a mol ded receptacl e and two
l atch features to secure the RKE recei ver on vehi cl es
that are so equi pped.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER (Continued)
CAUTION: Instrument clusters used in this model
automatically configure themselves for compatibil-
ity with the features and optional equipment in the
vehicle in which they are initially installed. The
instrument cluster is programmed to do this by
embedding the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
and other information critical to proper cluster
operation into electronic memory. This embedded
information is learned through electronic messages
received from other electronic modules in the vehi-
cle over the Programmable Communications Inter-
face (PCI) data bus, and through certain hard wired
inputs received when the cluster is connected to
the vehicle electrically. Once configured, the instru-
ment cluster memory may be irreparably damaged
and certain irreversible configuration errors may
occur if the cluster is connected electrically to
another vehicle; or, if an electronic module from
another vehicle is connected that provides data to
the instrument cluster (including odometer values)
that conflicts with that which was previously
learned and stored. Therefore, the practice of
exchanging (swapping) instrument clusters and
other electronic modules in this vehicle with those
removed from another vehicle must always be
avoided. Failure to observe this caution may result
in instrument cluster damage, which is not reim-
bursable under the terms of the product warranty.
Service replacement instrument clusters are pro-
vided with the correct VIN, and the certified odom-
eter and engine hours values embedded into cluster
memory, but will otherwise be automatically config-
ured for compatibility with the features and optional
equipment in the vehicle in which they are initially
installed.
NOTE: Certain indicators in this instrument cluster
are automatically configured. This feature allows
those indicators to be activated or deactivated for
compatibility with certain optional equipment. If the
problem being diagnosed involves improper illumi-
nation of the cruise indicator, the electronic throttle
control indicator, the service four-wheel drive indi-
cator, the tow/haul indicator, the transmission over-
temp indicator, the upshift indicator, the security
indicator or the gear selector indicator, disconnect
and isolate the battery negative cable. After about
five minutes, reconnect the battery negative cable
and turn the ignition switch to the On position. The
instrument cluster should automatically relearn the
equipment in the vehicle and properly configure the
configurable indicators accordingly.

WATER-IN-FUEL INDICATOR
DESCRIPTION
A water-i n-fuel i ndi cator i s onl y found i n the
i nstrument cl usters for vehi cl es equi pped wi th an
opti onal di esel engi ne (Fi g. 37). The water-i n-fuel
i ndi cator i s l ocated near the l ower edge of the i nstru-
ment cl uster, between the tachometer and the speed-
ometer. The water-i n-fuel i ndi cator consi sts of stenci l -
l i ke cutout of the I nternati onal Control and Di spl ay
Symbol i con for Water I n Fuel i n the opaque l ayer
of the i nstrument cl uster overl ay. The dark outer
l ayer of the overl ay prevents the i ndi cator from bei ng
cl earl y vi si bl e when i t i s not i l l umi nated. A red Li ght
Emi tti ng Di ode (LED) behi nd the cutout i n the
opaque l ayer of the overl ay causes the i con to appear
i n red through the transl ucent outer l ayer of the
overl ay when the i ndi cator i s i l l umi nated from
behi nd by the LED, whi ch i s sol dered onto the
i nstrument cl uster el ectroni c ci rcui t board. The
water-i n-fuel i ndi cator i s servi ced as a uni t wi th the
i nstrument cl uster.
OPERATION
The water-i n-fuel i ndi cator gi ves an i ndi cati on to
the vehi cl e operator when there i s excessi ve water i n
the fuel system. Thi s i ndi cator i s control l ed by a
transi stor on the i nstrument cl uster ci rcui t board
based upon the cl uster programmi ng and el ectroni c
messages recei ved by the cl uster from the Engi ne
Control Modul e (ECM) over the Programmabl e Com-
muni cati ons I nterface (PCI ) data bus. The water-i n-
fuel i ndi cator Li ght Emi tti ng Di ode (LED) i s
compl etel y control l ed by the i nstrument cl uster l ogi c
ci rcui t, and that l ogi c wi l l onl y al l ow thi s i ndi cator to
operate when the i nstrument cl uster recei ves a bat-
tery current i nput on the fused i gni ti on swi tch out-
put (run-start) ci rcui t. Therefore, the LED wi l l
al ways be off when the i gni ti on swi tch i s i n any posi -
ti on except On or Start. The LED onl y i l l umi nates
when i t i s provi ded a path to ground by the i nstru-
ment cl uster transi stor. The i nstrument cl uster wi l l
turn on the water-i n-fuel i ndi cator for the fol l owi ng
reasons:
Bulb Test - Each ti me the i gni ti on swi tch i s
turned to the On posi ti on the water-i n-fuel i ndi cator
i s i l l umi nated for about two seconds as a bul b test.
Water-In-Fuel Lamp-On Message - Each ti me
the cl uster recei ves a water-i n-fuel l amp-on message
from the ECM i ndi cati ng that there i s excessi ve

sensor to determi ne whether there i s excessi ve water
i n the di esel fuel system. The ECM then sends the
proper water-i n-fuel l amp-on and l amp-off messages
to the i nstrument cl uster. For further di agnosi s of

BRAKE LAMP SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The pl unger type brake l amp swi tch i s mounted on
a bracket attached to the base of the steeri ng col -
umn, under the i nstrument panel .
CAUTION: The switch can only be adjusted during
initial installation. If the switch is not adjusted prop-
erly a new switch must be installed.
OPERATION
The brake l amp swi tch i s hard wi red to the Center
Hi gh Mount Stop Lamp (CHMSL) and al so moni -
tored by the I nstrument Cl uster for use by the brake
l amp, speed control brake sensor ci rcui ts and el ec-
troni c brake di stri buti on (EBD). The brake l amp ci r-
cui t i s open unti l the pl unger i s depressed. The speed
control and brake sensor ci rcui ts are cl osed unti l the
pl unger i s depressed. When the brake l amp swi tch
transi ti ons, the CHMSL transi ti ons and i nstrument
cl uster transmi ts a brake appl i ed/rel eased message
on the bus. The I ntegrated Power Modul e (I PM) wi l l
then transi ti on the brake l amps.
When the brake l i ght swi tch i s acti vated, the Pow-
ertrai n Control Modul e (PCM) recei ves an i nput i ndi -
cati ng that the brakes are bei ng appl i ed. After
recei vi ng thi s i nput, the PCM mai ntai ns i dl e speed to
a schedul ed rpm through control of the I dl e Ai r Con-
trol (I AC) motor. The brake swi tch i nput i s al so used
to di sabl e vent and vacuum sol enoi d output si gnal s
to the speed control servo.

Vehi cl es equi pped wi th the speed control opti on use
a dual functi on brake l amp swi tch. The PCM moni -
tors the state of the dual functi on brake l amp swi tch.
The brake swi tch i s equi pped wi th three sets of
contacts, one normal l y open and the other two nor-
mal l y cl osed (brakes di sengaged). The PCM sends a
12 vol t si gnal to one of the normal l y cl osed contacts
i n the brake swi tch, whi ch i s returned to the PCM as
a brake swi tch state si gnal . Wi th the contacts cl osed,
the 12 vol t si gnal i s pul l ed to ground causi ng the si g-
nal to go l ow. The l ow vol tage si gnal , moni tored by
the PCM, i ndi cates that the brakes are not appl i ed.
When the brakes are appl i ed, the contacts open,
causi ng the PCMs output brake si gnal to go hi gh,
di sengagi ng the speed control , cutti ng off PCM power
to the speed control sol enoi ds.
The second set of normal l y cl osed contacts suppl i es
12 vol ts from the PCM any ti me speed control i s
turned on. Through the brake swi tch, vol tage i s
routed to the speed control servo sol enoi ds. The
speed control sol enoi ds (vacuum, vent and dump) are
provi ded thi s vol tage any ti me the speed control i s
ON and the brakes are di sengaged.
When the dri ver appl i es the brakes, the contacts
open and vol tage i s i nterrupted to the sol enoi ds. The
normal l y open contacts are fed battery vol tage. When
the brakes are appl i ed, battery vol tage i s suppl i ed to
the brake l amps.
The brake l amp swi tch can onl y be adjusted once.
That i s at the i ni ti al i nstal l ati on of the swi tch. I f the
swi tch i s not adjusted properl y or has been removed,
a new swi tch must be i nstal l ed and adjusted.

ter (EVI C) (Fi g. 1) or Compass Mi ni -Tri p Computer
(CMTC). Al l consol es are equi pped wi th two readi ng/
courtesy l amps. The overhead consol e i s mounted
wi th screws and two snap cl i ps to a mol ded pl asti c
retai ner bracket l ocated above the headl i ner.
COMPASS DISPLAY
Al l the avai l abl e overhead consol es on thi s model
i ncl ude Compass i nformati on. Whi l e i n the compass/
temperature mode, the compass wi l l di spl ay the
di recti on i n whi ch the vehi cl e i s poi nted usi ng the
ei ght major compass headi ngs (Exampl es: north i s N,
northeast i s NE). The sel f-cal i brati ng compass uni t
requi res no adjusti ng i n normal use. The onl y cal i -
brati on that may prove necessary i s to dri ve the vehi -
cl e at 5 to 8 ki l ometers-per-hour (3 to 5 mi l es-per-
hour), on l evel ground i n a square shaped pattern.
Thi s wi l l reori ent the compass uni t to i ts vehi cl e.
DR MESSAGE SYSTEMS 8M - 1
The compass uni t al so wi l l compensate for magne-
ti sm the body of the vehi cl e may acqui re duri ng nor-
mal use. However, avoi d pl aci ng anythi ng magneti c
di rectl y on the roof of the vehi cl e. Magneti c mounts
for an antenna, a repai r order hat, or a funeral pro-
cessi on fl ag can exceed the compensati ng abi l i ty of
the compass uni t i f pl aced on the roof panel . Mag-
neti c bi t dri vers used on the fasteners that hol d the
overhead consol e assembl y to the roof header can
al so affect compass operati on. I f the vehi cl e roof
shoul d become magneti zed, the demagneti zi ng and
cal i brati on procedures found i n thi s secti on may be
requi red to restore proper compass operati on.
TEMPERATURE DISPLAY
Al l the avai l abl e overhead consol es on thi s model
i ncl ude Temperature i nformati on. The temperature
di spl ays the outsi de ambi ent temperature i n whol e
degrees. The temperature di spl ay can be toggl ed
from Fahrenhei t to Cel si us by sel ecti ng the desi red
U.S./Metri c opti on from the customer programmabl e
features. The di spl ayed temperature i s not an i nstant
readi ng of condi ti ons, but an average temperature. I t
may take the temperature di spl ay several mi nutes to
respond to a major temperature change, such as dri v-
i ng out of a heated garage i nto wi nter temperatures.
When the i gni ti on swi tch i s turned to the Off posi -
ti on, the l ast di spl ayed temperature readi ng stays i n
the el ectroni c control modul es, (CMTC, EVI C) mem-
ory. When the i gni ti on swi tch i s turned to the On
posi ti on agai n, the el ectroni c modul e wi l l di spl ay the
memory temperature for one mi nute; then update the
di spl ay to the current average temperature readi ng
wi thi n fi ve mi nutes.
The temperature functi on i s supported by an ambi -
ent temperature sensor. Thi s sensor i s mounted out-
si de the passenger compartment near the front and
center of the vehi cl e, and i s hard wi red to the Front
Control Modul e (FCM). The FCM sends temperature
status messages to the modul e over the J1850 PCI
data bus ci rcui t. For more i nformati on on the ambi -
ent temperature sensor, refer to Ambi ent Tempera-

DEMAGNETIZING
A degaussi ng tool (Speci al Tool 6029) i s used to
demagneti ze, or degauss, the overhead consol e for-
ward mounti ng screw and the roof panel above the
overhead consol e. Equi val ent uni ts must be rated as
conti nuous duty for 110/115 vol ts and 60 Hz. They
must al so have a fi el d strength of over 350 gauss at 7
mi l l i meters (0.25 i nch) beyond the ti p of the probe.

AMBIENT TEMP SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
Ambi ent ai r temperature i s moni tored by the over-
head consol e. The ambi ent temperature messages are
recei ved from the Front Control Modul e (FCM) over
the Programmabl e Communi cati ons I nterface (PCI )
J1850 data bus ci rcui t. The FCM recei ves a hard
wi red i nput from the ambi ent temperature sensor
(Fi g. 7). The ambi ent temperature sensor i s a vari -
abl e resi stor mounted to the undersi de of the hood,
i n the engi ne compartment.
For more i nformati on on the front control modul e,
refer to Front Control Module i n the El ectroni c
Control Modul es secti on of thi s manual . For compl ete
ci rcui t di agrams, refer to Wiring. The ambi ent tem-
perature sensor cannot be adjusted or repai red and,
i f faul ty or damaged, i t must be repl aced.
OPERATION
The ambi ent temperature sensor i s a vari abl e
resi stor that operates on a fi ve-vol t reference si gnal
sent to i t by the Front Control Modul e. The resi s-
tance i n the sensor changes as temperature changes,
changi ng the temperature sensor si gnal ci rcui t vol t-
age to the Front Control Modul e. Based upon the
resi stance i n the sensor, the Front Control Modul e
senses a speci fi c vol tage on the temperature sensor
si gnal ci rcui t, whi ch i t i s programmed to correspond
to a speci fi c temperature. The Front Control Modul e
then sends the proper ambi ent temperature mes-
sages to the EVI C, CMTC over the PCI J1850 data
bus.
The temperature functi on i s supported by the
ambi ent temperature sensor, a wi ri ng ci rcui t, the
Front Control Modul e, the Programmabl e Communi -
cati ons I nterface (PCI ) data bus, and a porti on of the
El ectroni cs modul e. I f any porti on of the ambi ent
temperature sensor ci rcui t fai l s, the Front Control
Modul e wi l l sel f-di agnose the ci rcui t.
For compl ete ci rcui t di agrams, refer to Wiring.

DESCRIPTION
The automati c day/ni ght mi rror uses a thi n l ayer
of el ectrochromi c materi al between two pi eces of con-
ducti ve gl ass to make up the face of the mi rror.
When the mi rror swi tch i s i n the On posi ti on, two
photocel l sensors are used by the mi rror ci rcui try to
moni tor external l i ght l evel s and adjust the refl ec-
tance of the mi rror.
OPERATION
The ambi ent photocel l sensor i s l ocated on the for-
ward-faci ng (wi ndshi el d si de) of the rear vi ew mi rror
housi ng, and detects the ambi ent l i ght l evel s outsi de
of the vehi cl e. The headl amp photocel l sensor i s
l ocated i nsi de the rear vi ew mi rror housi ng behi nd
the mi rror gl ass and faces rearward, to detect the
l evel of the l i ght bei ng recei ved at the rear wi ndow
si de of the mi rror. When the ci rcui try of the auto-
mati c day/ni ght mi rror detects that the di fference
between the two l i ght l evel s i s too great (the l i ght
l evel recei ved at the rear of the mi rror i s much
hi gher than that at the front of the mi rror), i t begi ns
to darken the mi rror.
The automati c day/ni ght mi rror ci rcui try al so mon-
i tors the transmi ssi on usi ng an i nput from the

OPERATION
When a power swi tch control knob or knobs are
actuated, a battery feed and a ground path are
appl i ed through the swi tch contacts to the power seat
track or recl i ner adjuster motor. The sel ected
adjuster motor operates to move the seat track or
recl i ner through i ts dri ve uni t i n the sel ected di rec-
ti on unti l the swi tch i s rel eased, or unti l the travel
l i mi t of the adjuster i s reached. When the swi tch i s
moved i n the opposi te di recti on, the battery feed and
ground path to the motor are reversed through the
swi tch contacts. Thi s causes the adjuster motor to
run i n the opposi te di recti on.
No power seat swi tch shoul d be hel d appl i ed i n any
di recti on after the adjuster has reached i ts travel
l i mi t. The power seat adjuster motors each contai n a
sel f-resetti ng ci rcui t breaker to protect them from

When a power swi tch control knob or knobs are
actuated, a battery feed and a ground path are
appl i ed through the swi tch contacts to the power seat
track or recl i ner adjuster motor. The sel ected
adjuster motor operates to move the seat track or
recl i ner through i ts dri ve uni t i n the sel ected di rec-
ti on unti l the swi tch i s rel eased, or unti l the travel
l i mi t of the adjuster i s reached. When the swi tch i s
moved i n the opposi te di recti on, the battery feed and
ground path to the motor are reversed through the
swi tch contacts. Thi s causes the adjuster motor to
run i n the opposi te di recti on.
No power seat swi tch shoul d be hel d appl i ed i n any
di recti on after the adjuster has reached i ts travel
l i mi t. The power seat adjuster motors each contai n a
sel f-resetti ng ci rcui t breaker to protect them from
overl oad. However, consecuti ve or frequent resetti ng
of the ci rcui t breaker must not be al l owed to con-
ti nue, or the motor may be damaged.

The pri mary passenger restrai nts i n thi s or any
other vehi cl e are the standard equi pment factory-i n-
stal l ed seat bel ts and chi l d restrai nt anchors. Seat
bel ts and chi l d restrai nt anchors are referred to as
an acti ve restrai nt because the vehi cl e occupants are
requi red to physi cal l y fasten and properl y adjust
these restrai nts i n order to benefi t from them. See
the owners manual i n the vehi cl e gl ove box for more
i nformati on on the features, use and operati on of al l

PASSIVE RESTRAINTS
The passi ve restrai nts are referred to as a suppl e-
mental restrai nt system because they were desi gned
and are i ntended to enhance the protecti on for the
occupants of the vehi cl e only when used i n conjunc-
ti on wi th the seat bel ts. They are referred to as pas-
si ve restrai nts because the vehi cl e occupants are not
requi red to do anythi ng to make them operate; how-
ever, the vehi cl e occupants must be weari ng thei r
seat bel ts i n order to obtai n the maxi mum safety

ti me the i gni ti on swi tch i s turned to the On or Start
posi ti ons. Fol l owi ng the bul b test, the ai rbag i ndi ca-
tor i s turned on or off by the ACM to i ndi cate the
status of the suppl emental restrai nt system. I f the
ai rbag i ndi cator comes on at any ti me other than
duri ng the bul b test, i t i ndi cates that there i s a prob-
l em i n the suppl emental restrai nt system el ectri cal
ci rcui ts. Such a probl em may cause ai rbags not to
depl oy when requi red, or to depl oy when not
requi red.
Depl oyment of the suppl emental restrai nts
depends upon the angl e and severi ty of an i mpact.
Depl oyment i s not based upon vehi cl e speed; rather,
depl oyment i s based upon the rate of decel erati on as
measured by the forces of gravi ty (G force) upon the
i mpact sensors. When an i mpact i s severe enough,
the mi croprocessor i n the ACM si gnal s the i nfl ator of
the appropri ate ai rbag uni ts to depl oy thei r ai rbag
cushi ons. The outboard front seat bel t tensi oners are
provi ded wi th a depl oyment si gnal by the ACM i n
conjuncti on wi th the dri ver and passenger front ai r-
bags. Duri ng a frontal vehi cl e i mpact, the knee bl ock-
ers work i n concert wi th properl y fastened and
adjusted seat bel ts to restrai n both the dri ver and
the front seat passenger i n the proper posi ti on for an
ai rbag depl oyment. The knee bl ockers al so absorb
and di stri bute the crash energy from the dri ver and
the front seat passenger to the structure of the
i nstrument panel . The seat bel t tensi oner removes
the sl ack from the outboard front seat bel ts to pro-
vi de further assurance that the dri ver and front seat
passenger are properl y posi ti oned and restrai ned for
an ai rbag depl oyment.
Typi cal l y, the vehi cl e occupants recal l more about
the events precedi ng and fol l owi ng a col l i si on than
they do of an ai rbag depl oyment i tsel f. Thi s i s
because the ai rbag depl oyment and defl ati on occur
very rapi dl y. I n a typi cal 48 ki l ometer-per-hour (30
mi l e-per-hour) barri er i mpact, from the moment of
i mpact unti l the ai rbags are ful l y i nfl ated takes
about 40 mi l l i seconds. Wi thi n one to two seconds
from the moment of i mpact, the ai rbags are al most
enti rel y defl ated. The ti mes ci ted for these events are
approxi mati ons, whi ch appl y onl y to a barri er i mpact
at the gi ven speed. Actual ti mes wi l l vary somewhat,
dependi ng upon the vehi cl e speed, i mpact angl e,
severi ty of the i mpact, and the type of col l i si on.
When the ACM moni tors a probl em i n any of the

AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE
DESCRIPTION
The Ai rbag Control Modul e (ACM) i s al so some-

i nstrument panel center stack i n the passenger com-
partment of the vehi cl e, where i t i s secured by three
screws to a stamped steel mounti ng bracket wel ded
onto the top of the fl oor panel transmi ssi on tunnel
just forward of the i nstrument panel center support
bracket. Conceal ed wi thi n a hol l ow i n the center of
the di e cast al umi num ACM housi ng i s the el ectroni c
ci rcui try of the ACM whi ch i ncl udes a mi croproces-
sor, an el ectroni c i mpact sensor, an el ectroni c safi ng
sensor, and an energy storage capaci tor. A stamped
metal cover pl ate i s secured to the bottom of the
ACM housi ng wi th four screws to encl ose and protect
the i nternal el ectroni c ci rcui try and components.
An arrow pri nted on the l abel on the top of the
ACM housi ng provi des a vi sual veri fi cati on of the
proper ori entati on of the uni t, and shoul d al ways be
poi nted toward the front of the vehi cl e. The ACM
housi ng has i ntegral mounti ng fl anges on three cor-
ners. The mounti ng fl ange to the l eft of the connector
receptacl e has an i ntegral l ocati ng pi n on i ts l ower
surface. Both l eft si de fl anges have round mounti ng
hol es, whi l e the fl ange on the ri ght si de has a sl otted
mounti ng hol e. A mol ded pl asti c el ectri cal connector
wi th two receptacl es, one contai ni ng twenty-four ter-
mi nal pi ns and the other contai ni ng thi rty-two termi -
nal pi ns, exi ts the rearward faci ng si de of the ACM
housi ng. These termi nal pi ns connect the ACM to the
vehi cl e el ectri cal system through two dedi cated take
outs and connectors of the i nstrument panel wi re
harness.
The i mpact sensor and safi ng sensor i nternal to
the ACM are cal i brated for the speci fi c vehi cl e, and
are onl y servi ced as a uni t wi th the ACM. I n addi -
ti on, there are uni que versi ons of the ACM for l i ght

wi thout the opti onal si de curtai n ai rbags. The ACM
cannot be repai red or adjusted and, i f damaged or
faul ty, i t must be repl aced.
OPERATION
The mi croprocessor i n the Ai rbag Control Modul e
(ACM) contai ns the suppl emental restrai nt system
l ogi c ci rcui ts and control s al l of the suppl emental
restrai nt system components. The ACM uses
On-Board Di agnosti cs (OBD) and can communi cate
wi th other el ectroni c modul es i n the vehi cl e as wel l
as wi th the DRBI I I scan tool usi ng the Programma-
bl e Communi cati ons I nterface (PCI ) data bus net-
work. Thi s method of communi cati on i s used for
control of the ai rbag i ndi cator i n the El ectroMechani -
cal I nstrument Cl uster (EMI C) and for suppl emental
restrai nt system di agnosi s and testi ng through the
16-way data l i nk connector l ocated on the dri ver si de
l ower edge of the i nstrument panel . (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRI CAL/I NSTRUMENT CLUSTER/AI RBAG
I NDI CATOR - OPERATI ON).
The ACM mi croprocessor conti nuousl y moni tors al l
of the suppl emental restrai nt system el ectri cal ci r-
cui ts to determi ne the system readi ness. I f the ACM
detects a moni tored system faul t, i t sets an acti ve
and stored Di agnosti c Troubl e Code (DTC) and sends
el ectroni c messages to the EMI C over the PCI data
bus to turn on the ai rbag i ndi cator. An acti ve faul t
onl y remai ns for the durati on of the faul t, or i n some
cases for the durati on of the current i gni ti on swi tch
cycl e, whi l e a stored faul t causes a DTC to be stored
i n memory by the ACM. For some DTCs, i f a faul t
does not recur for a number of i gni ti on cycl es, the
ACM wi l l automati cal l y erase the stored DTC. For
other i nternal faul ts, the stored DTC i s l atched for-
ever.
I n standard cab model s, the ACM al so moni tors a
resi stor mul ti pl exed i nput from the passenger ai rbag
on/off swi tch and provi des a control output for the
Off i ndi cator i n the swi tch through a passenger ai r-
bag i ndi cator dri ver ci rcui t. I f the passenger ai rbag
on/off swi tch i s set to the Off posi ti on, the ACM turns
on the passenger ai rbag on/off swi tch Off i ndi cator
and wi l l i nternal l y di sabl e the passenger ai rbag from
bei ng depl oyed. The ACM al so turns on the on/off
swi tch Off i ndi cator for about seven seconds each
ti me the i gni ti on swi tch i s turned to the On posi ti on
as a bul b test. Fol l owi ng the bul b test, the ACM con-
trol s the status of the Off i ndi cator based upon the

resi stance of the i nput from the on/off swi tch. The

detects i n the passenger ai rbag on/off swi tch ci rcui ts,
and wi l l turn on the ai rbag i ndi cator i n the EMI C i f

The ACM recei ves battery current through two ci r-
cui ts; a fused i gni ti on swi tch output (run) ci rcui t
through a fuse i n the I ntegrated Power Modul e
(I PM), and a fused i gni ti on swi tch output (run-start)
ci rcui t through a second fuse i n the I PM. The ACM
recei ves ground through a ground ci rcui t and take
out of the i nstrument panel wi re harness. Thi s take
out has a si ngl e eyel et termi nal connector that i s
secured by a ground screw to the i nstrument panel
support structure. These connecti ons al l ow the ACM
to be operati onal whenever the i gni ti on swi tch i s i n
the Start or On posi ti ons.
The ACM al so contai ns an energy-storage capaci -
tor. When the i gni ti on swi tch i s i n the Start or On
posi ti ons, thi s capaci tor i s conti nual l y bei ng charged
wi th enough el ectri cal energy to depl oy the suppl e-
mental restrai nt components for up to one second fol -
l owi ng a battery di sconnect or fai l ure. The purpose of
the capaci tor i s to provi de backup suppl emental
restrai nt system protecti on i n case there i s a l oss of
battery current suppl y to the ACM duri ng an i mpact.
Two sensors are contai ned wi thi n the ACM, an
el ectroni c i mpact sensor and a safi ng sensor. The
el ectroni c i mpact sensors are accel erometers that
sense the rate of vehi cl e decel erati on, whi ch provi de
veri fi cati on of the di recti on and severi ty of an
i mpact. On model s equi pped wi th opti onal si de cur-
tai n ai rbags, the ACM al so moni tors i nputs from two
remote si de i mpact sensors l ocated wi thi n both the
l eft and ri ght B-pi l l ars to control depl oyment of the
si de curtai n ai rbag uni ts.
The safi ng sensor i s an el ectroni c accel erometer
sensor wi thi n the ACM that provi des an addi ti onal
l ogi c i nput to the ACM mi croprocessor. The safi ng
sensor i s used to veri fy the need for a suppl emental
restrai nt depl oyment by detecti ng i mpact energy of a
l esser magni tude than that of the pri mary el ectroni c
i mpact sensors, and must exceed a safi ng threshol d
i n order for the ai rbags to depl oy. Vehi cl es equi pped
wi th opti onal si de curtai n ai rbags feature a second
safi ng sensor wi thi n the ACM to provi de confi rma-
ti on to the ACM mi croprocessor of si de i mpact forces.
Thi s second safi ng sensor i s a bi -di recti onal uni t that
detects i mpact forces from ei ther si de of the vehi cl e.

and the status of the passenger ai rbag on/off swi tch
i nput, determi nes the l evel of front ai rbag depl oy-
ment force requi red for each front seati ng posi ti on.
When the programmed condi ti ons are met, the ACM
sends the proper el ectri cal si gnal s to depl oy the dual
mul ti stage front ai rbags at the programmed force
l evel s, the front seat bel t tensi oners and, i f the vehi -

i s l ocated i n the center of the steeri ng wheel , where
i t i s secured wi th two screws to the armature of the
four-spoke steeri ng wheel . Al l model s have a chrome
Dodge Ram embl em i n the center of the tri m cover.
Conceal ed beneath the dri ver ai rbag tri m cover are
the horn swi tch, the fol ded ai rbag cushi on, the ai rbag
cushi on retai ner, the ai rbag housi ng, the ai rbag i nfl a-

ai rbag housi ng.
The ai rbag cushi on, housi ng, and i nfl ator are
secured wi thi n an i ntegral receptacl e mol ded i nto the
back of the tri m cover. The four verti cal wal l s of thi s
receptacl e have a total of twel ve smal l wi ndows wi th
bl ocki ng tabs that are engaged by twel ve hook forma-
ti ons around the peri meter of the ai rbag housi ng.

dri ver ai rbag tri m cover, between the tri m cover and
the fol ded ai rbag cushi on. The horn swi tch ground
pi gtai l wi re has an eyel et termi nal connector that i s
captured beneath a fl anged nut on the upper ri ght
i nfl ator mounti ng stud on the back of the housi ng
(Fi g. 22). The horn swi tch feed pi gtai l wi re has a

OPERATION
The seat bel t tensi oners are depl oyed by a si gnal
generated by the Ai rbag Control Modul e (ACM)
through the dri ver and passenger seat bel t tensi oner
l i ne 1 and l i ne 2 (or squi b) ci rcui ts. When the ACM
sends the proper el ectri cal si gnal to the tensi oners,
the el ectri cal energy generates enough heat to i ni -
ti ate a smal l pyrotechni c gas generator. The gas gen-
erator i s i nstal l ed at the top of the tensi oner housi ng
whi ch contai ns a l ong metal tape that i s routed
through two chambers wi thi n the housi ng. Each end
of the tape i s wound around the outer sl eeve of a
mechani cal cl utch mechani sm secured to one end of
the torsi on bar upon whi ch the retractor spool i s
secured. As the gas expands, i t i s di rected agai nst
the metal tape wi thi n the two chambers of the hous-
i ng causi ng the tape to unwi nd from the cl utch
sl eeve. As the cl utch rotates i t engages the torsi on
bar, whi ch dri ves the seat bel t retractor spool causi ng
the sl ack to be removed from the seat bel t.
Once a seat bel t tensi oni ng sequence has been
compl eted, the forward momentum of the occupant
resul ts i n deformati on of the torsi on bar. As the tor-
si on bar deforms i t al l ows the seat bel t webbi ng to
unwi nd from the retractor spool , whi ch causes the
metal tape to be wound back onto the cl utch sl eeve
unti l i t i s pul l ed ti ght agai nst two cutter bl ades

SIDE IMPACT SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
On vehi cl es equi pped wi th the opti onal si de curtai n
ai rbags, two si de i mpact sensors are used, one each
for the l eft and ri ght si des of the vehi cl e (Fi g. 54).
These sensors are mounted remotel y from the bi -di -
recti onal safi ng sensor that i s i nternal to the Ai rbag
Control Modul e (ACM). The si de i mpact sensors are
secured wi thi n the ri ght and l eft B-pi l l ars just above
the front seat bel t retractors and behi nd the l ower
B-pi l l ar tri m i n the passenger compartment.
The i mpact sensor housi ng has an i ntegral connec-
tor receptacl e, an i ntegral mounti ng stud, and an
i ntegral l ocati ng tab. A cavi ty i n the center of the
mol ded bl ack pl asti c i mpact sensor housi ng contai ns
the el ectroni c ci rcui try of the sensor, whi ch i ncl udes
an el ectroni c communi cati on chi p and an el ectroni c
i mpact sensor. Potti ng materi al fi l l s the cavi ty to seal
and protect the i nternal el ectroni c ci rcui try and com-
ponents. The si de i mpact sensors are each connected
to the vehi cl e el ectri cal system through a dedi cated
take out and connector of the body wi re harness.
The si de i mpact sensors cannot be repai red or
adjusted and, i f damaged or faul ty, they must be
repl aced.
OPERATION
The si de i mpact sensors are el ectroni c accel erome-
ters that sense the rate of vehi cl e decel erati on, whi ch
provi des veri fi cati on of the di recti on and severi ty of
an i mpact. Each sensor al so contai ns an el ectroni c
communi cati on chi p that al l ows the uni t to commu-
ni cate the sensor status as wel l as sensor faul t i nfor-
mati on to the mi croprocessor i n the Ai rbag Control
Modul e (ACM). The ACM mi croprocessor conti nu-
ousl y moni tors al l of the passi ve restrai nt system
el ectri cal ci rcui ts to determi ne the system readi ness.
I f the ACM detects a moni tored system faul t, i t sets
a Di agnosti c Troubl e Code (DTC) and control s the
ai rbag i ndi cator operati on accordi ngl y.
The i mpact sensors each recei ve battery current
and ground through dedi cated l eft and ri ght sensor
pl us and mi nus ci rcui ts from the ACM. The i mpact
sensors and the ACM communi cate by modul ati ng
the vol tage i n the sensor pl us ci rcui t. The hard wi red
ci rcui ts between the si de i mpact sensors and the
ACM may be di agnosed and tested usi ng conven-
ti onal di agnosti c tool s and procedures. However, con-
venti onal di agnosti c methods wi l l not prove
concl usi ve i n the di agnosi s of the ACM or the i mpact
sensors. The most rel i abl e, effi ci ent, and accurate
means to di agnose the i mpact sensors, the ACM, and
the el ectroni c message communi cati on between the
sensors and the ACM requi res the use of a DRBI I I
scan tool . Refer to the appropri ate di agnosti c i nfor-
mati on.

OPERATION
When speed control i s sel ected by depressi ng the
ON swi tch, the PCM (the ECM wi th a di esel engi ne)
al l ows a set speed to be stored i n i ts RAM for speed
control . To store a set speed, depress the SET swi tch
whi l e the vehi cl e i s movi ng at a speed between 35
and 85 mph. I n order for the speed control to engage,
the brakes cannot be appl i ed, nor can the gear sel ec-
tor be i ndi cati ng the transmi ssi on i s i n Park or Neu-
tral .
The speed control can be di sengaged manual l y by:
Steppi ng on the brake pedal
Depressi ng the OFF swi tch
Depressi ng the CANCEL swi tch.
Depressi ng the cl utch pedal (i f equi pped).
NOTE: Depressing the OFF switch or turning off the
ignition switch will erase the set speed stored in
the PCM (the ECM with a diesel engine).
For added safety, the speed control system i s pro-
grammed to di sengage for any of the fol l owi ng condi -
ti ons:
An i ndi cati on of Park or Neutral
A rapi d i ncrease rpm (i ndi cates that the cl utch
has been di sengaged)
Excessi ve engi ne rpm (i ndi cates that the trans-
mi ssi on may be i n a l ow gear)
The speed si gnal i ncreases at a rate of 10 mph
per second (i ndi cates that the coeffi ci ent of fri cti on
between the road surface and ti res i s extremel y l ow)
The speed si gnal decreases at a rate of 10 mph
per second (i ndi cates that the vehi cl e may have
decel erated at an extremel y hi gh rate)
Once the speed control has been di sengaged,
depressi ng the RES/ACCEL swi tch (when speed i s
greater than 30 mph) restores the vehi cl e to the tar-
get speed that was stored i n the PCM (the ECM wi th
a di esel engi ne).
Whi l e the speed control i s engaged, the dri ver can
i ncrease the vehi cl e speed by depressi ng the RES/AC-
CEL swi tch. The new target speed i s stored i n the
PCM (the ECM wi th a di esel engi ne) when the RES/
ACCEL i s rel eased. The PCM (the ECM wi th a di esel
engi ne) al so has a tap-up feature i n whi ch vehi cl e
speed i ncreases at a rate of approxi matel y 2 mph for
each momentary swi tch acti vati on of the RES/AC-
CEL swi tch.
A tap down feature i s used to decel erate wi thout
di sengagi ng the speed control system. To decel erate
from an exi sti ng recorded target speed, momentari l y
depress the COAST swi tch. For each swi tch acti va-
ti on, speed wi l l be l owered approxi matel y 1 mph.

SERVO
DESCRIPTION
A speed control servo is not used with any
5.7L V-8 engine, or with the 5.9L diesel engine
when equipped with a manual transmission.
The speed control servo i s attached to the bottom
of the battery tray.
The servo uni t consi sts of a sol enoi d val ve body,
and a vacuum chamber. The sol enoi d val ve body con-
tai ns three sol enoi ds:
Vacuum
Vent
Dump
The vacuum chamber contai ns a di aphragm wi th a
cabl e attached to control the throttl e l i nkage.
OPERATION
A speed control servo is not used with any
5.7L V-8 engine, or with the 5.9L diesel engine
when equipped with a manual transmission.
The following information applies only to
vehicles equipped with a mechanical servo.
When/i f a servo i s used on gasol i ne powered vehi -
cl es, the Powertrai n Control Modul e (PCM) control s
the sol enoi d val ve body. When/i f a servo i s used on
certai n di esel powered vehi cl es, the Engi ne Control
Modul e (ECM) control s the sol enoi d val ve body. The
sol enoi d val ve body control s the appl i cati on and
rel ease of vacuum to the di aphragm of the vacuum
servo. The servo uni t cannot be repai red and i s ser-
vi ced onl y as a compl ete assembl y.
Power i s suppl i ed to the servos by the PCM/ECM
through the brake swi tch. The PCM/ECM control s
the ground path for the vacuum and vent sol enoi ds.
The dump sol enoi d i s energi zed anyti me i t recei ves
power. I f power to the dump sol enoi d i s i nterrupted,
the sol enoi d dumps vacuum i n the servo. Thi s pro-
vi des a safety backup to the vent and vacuum sol e-
noi ds.
The vacuum and vent sol enoi ds must be grounded
at the PCM/ECM to operate. When the PCM/ECM
grounds the vacuum servo sol enoi d, the sol enoi d
al l ows vacuum to enter the servo and pul l open the
throttl e pl ate usi ng the cabl e. When the PCM/ECM
breaks the ground, the sol enoi d cl oses and no more
vacuum i s al l owed to enter the servo. The PCM/ECM
al so operates the vent sol enoi d vi a ground. The vent
sol enoi d opens and cl oses a passage to bl eed or hol d
vacuum i n the servo as requi red.
The PCM/ECM duty cycl es the vacuum and vent
sol enoi ds to mai ntai n the set speed, or to accel erate
and decel erate the vehi cl e. To i ncrease throttl e open-
i ng, the PCM/ECM grounds the vacuum and vent
sol enoi ds. To decrease throttl e openi ng, the PCM/
ECM removes the grounds from the vacuum and
vent sol enoi ds. When the brake i s rel eased, i f vehi cl e
speed exceeds 30 mph to resume, 35 mph to set, and
the RES/ACCEL swi tch has been depressed, ground
for the vent and vacuum ci rcui ts i s restored.
REMOVAL

SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
Two separate swi tch pods operate the speed control
system. The steeri ng-wheel -mounted swi tches use
mul ti pl exed ci rcui ts to provi de i nputs to the PCM (to
the ECM for di esel ) for ON, OFF, RESUME, ACCEL-
ERATE, SET, DECEL and CANCEL modes. Refer to
the owners manual for more i nformati on on speed
control swi tch functi ons and setti ng procedures.
The i ndi vi dual swi tches cannot be repai red. I f one
swi tch fai l s, the enti re swi tch modul e must be
repl aced.
Depending on engine control computer (J TEC
having a 3 plug connector or NGC having a 4
plug connector), 2 types of switches are used.
Both types of switches are internally and exter-
nally different. The switch used with the NGC
system has an attached pigtail lead. The switch
used with the J TEC system does not have an
attached pigtail lead.
OPERATION
When speed control i s sel ected by depressi ng the
ON, OFF swi tch, the PCM (ECM for diesel) al l ows
a set speed to be stored i n i ts RAM for speed control .
To store a set speed, depress the SET swi tch whi l e
the vehi cl e i s movi ng at a speed between approxi -
matel y 35 and 85 mph. I n order for the speed control
to engage, the brakes cannot be appl i ed, nor can the
gear sel ector be i ndi cati ng the transmi ssi on i s i n
Park or Neutral .
The speed control can be di sengaged manual l y by:
Steppi ng on the brake pedal
Depressi ng the OFF swi tch
Depressi ng the CANCEL swi tch.
The speed control can be di sengaged al so by any of
the fol l owi ng condi ti ons:
An i ndi cati on of Park or Neutral (auto. trans.)
The VSS si gnal i ncreases at a rate of 10 mph
per second (i ndi cates that the co-effi ci ent of fri cti on
between the road surface and ti res i s extremel y l ow)
Depressi ng the cl utch pedal (manual trans.).
Excessi ve engi ne rpm (i ndi cates that the trans-
mi ssi on may be i n a l ow gear)
The VSS si gnal decreases at a rate of 10 mph
per second (i ndi cates that the vehi cl e may have
decel erated at an extremel y hi gh rate)
I f the actual speed i s not wi thi n 20 mph of the
set speed

SERVO (Continued)
The previ ous di sengagement condi ti ons are pro-
grammed for added safety.
Once the speed control has been di sengaged,
depressi ng the ACCEL swi tch restores the vehi cl e to
the target speed that was stored i n the PCMs RAM
(ECM for diesel).
NOTE: Depressing the OFF switch will erase the set
speed stored in the PCMs/ECMs RAM.
I f, whi l e the speed control i s engaged, the dri ver
wi shes to i ncrease vehi cl e speed, the PCM (ECM for
diesel) i s programmed for an accel erati on feature.
Wi th the ACCEL swi tch hel d cl osed, the vehi cl e
accel erates sl owl y to the desi red speed. The new tar-
get speed i s stored i n the PCMs/ECMs RAM when
the ACCEL swi tch i s rel eased. The PCM/ECM al so
has a tap-up feature i n whi ch vehi cl e speed
i ncreases at a rate of approxi matel y 2 mph for each
momentary swi tch acti vati on of the ACCEL swi tch.
The PCM/ECM al so provi des a means to decel erate
wi thout di sengagi ng speed control . To decel erate from
an exi sti ng recorded target speed, depress and hol d
the COAST swi tch unti l the desi red speed i s reached.
Then rel ease the swi tch. The ON, OFF swi tch oper-
ates two components: the PCMs/ECMs ON, OFF
i nput, and the battery vol tage to the brake swi tch.
REMOVAL

OPERATION SENTRY KEY IMMOBILIZER
MODULE (SKIM)
The SKI M transmi ts and recei ves RF si gnal s
through a tuned antenna encl osed wi thi n a mol ded
pl asti c ri ng formati on that i s i ntegral to the SKI M
housi ng. When the SKI M i s properl y i nstal l ed on the
steeri ng col umn, the antenna ri ng i s ori ented around
the ci rcumference of the i gni ti on l ock cyl i nder hous-
i ng. Thi s antenna ri ng must be l ocated wi thi n ei ght
mi l l i meters (0.31 i nches) of the Sentry Key i n order
to ensure proper RF communi cati on between the
SKI M and the Sentry Key transponder.
For added system securi ty, each SKI M i s pro-
grammed wi th a uni que Secret Key code and a
securi ty code. The SKI M keeps the Secret Key code
i n memory. The SKI M al so sends the Secret Key
code to each of the programmed Sentry Key tran-
sponders. The securi ty code i s used by the assembl y
pl ant to access the SKI S for i ni ti al i zati on, or by the
deal er techni ci an to access the system for servi ce.
The SKI M al so stores i n i ts memory the Vehi cl e
I denti fi cati on Number (VI N), whi ch i t l earns through
a PCI bus message from the PCM duri ng i ni ti al i za-
ti on.
The SKI M and the PCM both use software that
i ncl udes a rol l i ng code al gori thm strategy, whi ch
hel ps to reduce the possi bi l i ty of unauthori zed SKI S
di sarmi ng. The rol l i ng code al gori thm ensures secu-
ri ty by preventi ng an overri de of the SKI S through
the unauthori zed substi tuti on of the SKI M or the
PCM. However, the use of thi s strategy al so means
that repl acement of ei ther the SKI M or the PCM
uni ts wi l l requi re a system i ni ti al i zati on procedure to
restore system operati on.
When the i gni ti on swi tch i s turned to the ON or
START posi ti ons, the SKI M transmi ts an RF si gnal
to exci te the Sentry Key transponder. The SKI M then
l i stens for a return RF si gnal from the transponder
of the Sentry Key that i s i nserted i n the i gni ti on l ock
cyl i nder. I f the SKI M recei ves an RF si gnal wi th
val i d Secret Key and transponder i denti fi cati on
codes, the SKI M sends a val i d key message to the
PCM over the PCI bus. I f the SKI M recei ves an
i nval i d RF si gnal or no response, i t sends i nval i d
key messages to the PCM. The PCM wi l l enabl e or
di sabl e engi ne operati on based upon the status of the
SKI M messages.
The SKI M al so sends messages to the I nstrument
Cl uster whi ch control s the VTSS i ndi cator. The
SKI M sends messages to the I nstrument Cl uster to
turn the i ndi cator on for about three seconds when
the i gni ti on swi tch i s turned to the ON posi ti on as a
bul b test. After compl eti on of the bul b test, the
SKI M sends bus messages to keep the i ndi cator off
for a durati on of about one second. Then the SKI M
sends messages to turn the i ndi cator on or off based
upon the resul ts of the SKI S sel f-tests. I f the VTSS
i ndi cator comes on and stays on after the bul b test,
i t i ndi cates that the SKI M has detected a system
mal functi on and/or that the SKI S has become i noper-
ati ve.
I f the SKI M detects an i nval i d key when the i gni -
ti on swi tch i s turned to the ON posi ti on, i t sends
messages to fl ash the VTSS i ndi cator. The SKI M can
al so send messages to fl ash the i ndi cator to serve as
an i ndi cati on to the customer that the SKI S has been
pl aced i n i ts Customer Learn programmi ng mode.

OPERATION
The check val ve provi des more than one functi on
i n thi s appl i cati on. I t serves as a wye connector fi t-
ti ng between the engi ne compartment and washer
nozzl e secti ons of the washer suppl y hose. I t prevents
washer fl ui d from drai ni ng out of the washer suppl y
hoses back to the washer reservoi r. Thi s drai n-back
woul d resul t i n a l engthy del ay from when the
washer swi tch i s actuated unti l washer fl ui d was di s-
pensed through the washer nozzl es, because the
washer pump woul d have to refi l l the washer pl umb-
i ng from the reservoi r to the nozzl es. Such a drai n-
back condi ti on coul d al so resul t i n water, di rt, or
other outsi de contami nants bei ng si phoned i nto the
washer system through the washer nozzl e ori fi ce.
Thi s water coul d subsequentl y freeze and pl ug the
nozzl e, whi l e other contami nants coul d i nterfere wi th
proper nozzl e operati on and cause i mproper nozzl e
spray patterns. I n addi ti on, the check val ve prevents
washer fl ui d from si phoni ng through the washer noz-
zl es after the washer system i s turned Off.
When the washer pump pressuri zes and pumps
washer fl ui d from the reservoi r through the washer
pl umbi ng, the fl ui d pressure unseats a di aphragm
from over a sump wel l wi thi n the val ve by overri di ng
the spri ng pressure appl i ed to i t by a pi ston (Fi g. 4).
Wi th the di aphragm unseated, washer fl ui d i s

The wi per motor bracket i s secured wi th two
screws bel ow the wi per motor through two rubber
i nsul ators to the bottom of the cowl pl enum panel
beneath the cowl pl enum cover/gri l l e panel (Fi g. 25).
Two screws secure the top of the wi per modul e
bracket to the cowl pl enum panel through rubber
i nsul ators l ocated on the outboard end of each pi vot
bracket. The ends of the wi per pi vot shafts that pro-
trude through dedi cated openi ngs i n the cowl pl enum
cover/gri l l e panel to dri ve the wi per arms and bl ades
are the onl y vi si bl e components of the wi per modul e.
The wi per modul e consi sts of the fol l owi ng major
components:
Bracket - The wi per modul e bracket consi sts of
a l ong tubul ar steel mai n member that has a di e cast
pi vot bracket formati on near each end where the two
wi per pi vots are secured. A stamped steel cl amp
secures the center of the tubul ar member to the di e
cast bracket i ntegral to the wi per motor wi th two
screws.
Crank Arm - The wi per motor crank arm i s a
stamped steel uni t wi th a sl otted hol e on the dri ven
end that i s secured to the wi per motor output shaft
wi th a nut, and has a bal l stud secured to the dri ve
end.
Linkage - Two stamped steel dri ve l i nks con-
nect the wi per motor crank arm to the wi per pi vot
l ever arms. The l eft si de dri ve l i nk has a pl asti c sock-
et-type bushi ng on each end. The ri ght si de dri ve
l i nk has a pl asti c socket-type bushi ng on one end,
and a pl asti c sl eeve-type bushi ng on the other end.
The socket-type bushi ng on one end of each dri ve
l i nk i s snap-fi t over the bal l stud on the l ever arm of
i ts respecti ve pi vot. The ri ght si de dri ve l i nk sl eeve-
type bushi ng end i s then fi t over the motor crank
arm bal l stud, and the other socket-type bushi ng of
the l eft si de dri ve l i nk i s snap-fi t over the exposed
end of the wi per motor crank arm bal l stud.
Motor - The wi per motor features an i ntegral
di e cast bracket to whi ch the wi per modul e bracket i s
secured wi th a stamped steel cl amp and two screws
near the top and whi ch has two rubber i nsul ated
mounti ng ears at the bottom. Thi s di e casti ng al so
serves as the wi per motor transmi ssi on housi ng from
whi ch the wi per motor output shaft exi ts. A nut
secures the wi per motor crank arm to the motor out-
put shaft. The two-speed permanent magnet wi per
motor features an i ntegral transmi ssi on, an i nternal
park swi tch, and an i nternal automati c resetti ng ci r-
cui t breaker.
Pivots - The two front wi per pi vots are secured
wi thi n the di e cast pi vot brackets on the outboard
ends of the wi per modul e mai n member. The l ever
arms that extend from the center of the pi vot shafts
each have a bal l stud on thei r end. The upper end of
each pi vot shaft where the wi per arms wi l l be fas-
tened each has a serrated dri ver wi th a keyway. The
l ower ends of the pi vot shafts are i nstal l ed through
l ubri cated bushi ngs i n the pi vot brackets and are
secured wi th snap ri ngs.
The wi per modul e cannot be adjusted or repai red.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIRING HARNESS
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When di agnosi ng a probl em i n an el ectri cal ci rcui t
there are several common tool s necessary. These tool s
are l i sted and expl ai ned bel ow.
Jumper Wi re - Thi s i s a test wi re used to con-
nect two poi nts of a ci rcui t. I t can be used to bypass
an open i n a ci rcui t.
WARNING: NEVER USE A JUMPER WIRE ACROSS
A LOAD, SUCH AS A MOTOR, CONNECTED
BETWEEN A BATTERY FEED AND GROUND.
Vol tmeter - Used to check for vol tage on a ci r-
cui t. Al ways connect the bl ack l ead to a known good
ground and the red l ead to the posi ti ve si de of the
ci rcui t.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used
in todays vehicles are Solid State. When checking
voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 -
megohm or greater impedance rating.
DR 8W-01 WIRING DIAGRAM INFORMATION 8W - 01 - 7
WIRING DIAGRAM INFORMATION (Continued)
Ohmmeter - Used to check the resi stance
between two poi nts of a ci rcui t. Low or no resi stance
i n a ci rcui t means good conti nui ty.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used
in todays 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 cir-
cuit. Circuits that are powered up by the vehicles
electrical system can cause damage to the equip-
ment and provide false readings.
Probi ng Tool s - These tool s are used for probi ng
termi nal s i n connectors (Fi g. 5). Sel ect the proper
si ze tool from Speci al Tool Package 6807, and i nsert
i t i nto the termi nal bei ng tested. Use the other end
of the tool to i nsert the meter probe.
INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most i ntermi ttent el ectri cal probl ems are caused
by faul ty el ectri cal connecti ons or wi ri ng. I t i s al so
possi bl e for a sti cki ng component or rel ay to cause a
probl em. Before condemni ng a component or wi ri ng
assembl y, check the fol l owi ng i tems.
Connectors are ful l y seated
Spread termi nal s, or termi nal push out
Termi nal s i n the wi ri ng assembl y are ful l y seated
i nto the connector/component and l ocked i nto posi ti on
Di rt or corrosi on on the termi nal s. Any amount
of corrosi on or di rt coul d cause an i ntermi ttent prob-
l em

TROUBLESHOOTING WIRING PROBLEMS
When troubl eshooti ng wi ri ng probl ems there are
si x steps whi ch can ai d i n the procedure. The steps
are l i sted and expl ai ned bel ow. Al ways check for non-
factory i tems added to the vehi cl e before doi ng any
di agnosi s. I f the vehi cl e i s equi pped wi th these i tems,
di sconnect them to veri fy these add-on i tems are not
the cause of the probl em.
(1) Veri fy the probl em.
(2) Veri fy any rel ated symptoms. Do thi s by per-
formi ng operati onal checks on components that are
i n the same ci rcui t. Refer to the wi ri ng di agrams.
(3) Anal yze the symptoms. Use the wi ri ng di a-
grams to determi ne what the ci rcui t i s doi ng, where
the probl em most l i kel y i s occurri ng and where the
di agnosi s wi l l conti nue.
(4) I sol ate the probl em area.
(5) Repai r the probl em area.
(6) Veri fy the proper operati on. For thi s step,
check for proper operati on of al l i tems on the
repai red ci rcui t. Refer to the wi ri ng di agrams.

DESCRIPTION
On model s equi pped a ci gar l i ghter outl et i s
i nstal l ed to the l eft of the center stack area i n the
l ower i nstrument panel . The ci gar l i ghter outl et i s
secured by a snap fi t wi thi n the bezel .
The ci gar l i ghter outl et, pl asti c cap and the knob
and heati ng el ement uni t are avai l abl e for servi ce
repl acement. These components cannot be repai red
and, i f faul ty or damaged, they must be repl aced.
OPERATION
The ci gar l i ghter consi sts of two major components:
a knob and heati ng el ement uni t, and the ci gar
l i ghter base or outl et shel l . The receptacl e shel l i s
connected to ground, and an i nsul ated contact i n the
bottom of the shel l i s connected to battery current.
The ci gar l i ghter recei ves battery vol tage from a fuse
i n the juncti on bl ock when the i gni ti on swi tch i s i n
the Accessory or Run posi ti ons.
The ci gar l i ghter knob and heati ng el ement are
encased wi thi n a spri ng-l oaded housi ng, whi ch al so
features a sl i di ng protecti ve heat shi el d. When the
knob and heati ng el ement are i nserted i n the outl et
shel l , the heati ng el ement resi stor coi l i s grounded
through i ts housi ng to the outl et shel l . I f the ci gar
l i ghter knob i s pushed i nward, the heat shi el d sl i des
up toward the knob exposi ng the heati ng el ement,
and the heati ng el ement extends from the housi ng
toward the i nsul ated contact i n the bottom of the
outl et shel l .
Two smal l spri ng-cl i p retai ners are l ocated on
ei ther si de of the i nsul ated contact i nsi de the bottom
of the outl et shel l . These cl i ps engage and hol d the
heati ng el ement agai nst the i nsul ated contact l ong
enough for the resi stor coi l to heat up. When the
heati ng el ement i s engaged wi th the contact, battery
current can fl ow through the resi stor coi l to ground,
causi ng the resi stor coi l to heat.
When the resi stor coi l becomes suffi ci entl y heated,
excess heat radi ates from the heati ng el ement caus-
i ng the spri ng-cl i ps to expand. Once the spri ng-cl i ps
expand far enough to rel ease the heati ng el ement,
the spri ng-l oaded housi ng forces the knob and heat-
i ng el ement to pop back outward to thei r rel axed
posi ti on. When the ci gar l i ghter knob and el ement
are pul l ed out of the outl et shel l , the protecti ve heat
shi el d sl i des downward on the housi ng so that the
heati ng el ement i s recessed and shi el ded around i ts
ci rcumference for safety.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - CYLINDER BORE
HONING
Before honi ng, stuff pl enty of cl ean shop towel s
under the bores and over the crankshaft to keep
abrasi ve materi al s from enteri ng the crankshaft
area.
(1) Used careful l y, the Cyl i nder Bore Si zi ng Hone
C-823, equi pped wi th 220 gri t stones, i s the best tool

for thi s job. I n addi ti on to degl azi ng, i t wi l l reduce
taper and out-of-round, as wel l as removi ng l i ght
scuffi ng, scori ng and scratches. Usual l y, a few strokes
wi l l cl ean up a bore and mai ntai n the requi red l i m-
i ts.
CAUTION: DO NOT use rigid type hones to remove
cylinder wall glaze.
(2) Degl azi ng of the cyl i nder wal l s may be done i f
the cyl i nder bore i s strai ght and round. Use a cyl i n-
der surfaci ng hone, Honi ng Tool C-3501, equi pped
wi th 280 gri t stones (C-3501-3810). about 20-60
strokes, dependi ng on the bore condi ti on, wi l l be suf-
fi ci ent to provi de a sati sfactory surface. Usi ng honi ng
oi l C-3501-3880, or a l i ght honi ng oi l , avai l abl e from
major oi l di stri butors.
CAUTION: DO NOT use engine or transmission oil,
mineral spirits, or kerosene.
(3) Honi ng shoul d be done by movi ng the hone up
and down fast enough to get a crosshatch pattern.
The hone marks shoul d I NTERSECT at 50 to 60
for proper seati ng of ri ngs (Fi g. 29).
(4) A control l ed hone motor speed between 200 and
300 RPM i s necessary to obtai n the proper cross-
hatch angl e. The number of up and down strokes per
mi nute can be regul ated to get the desi red 50 to 60
angl e. Faster up and down strokes i ncrease the cross-
hatch angl e.
(5) After honi ng, i t i s necessary that the bl ock be
cl eaned to remove al l traces of abrasi ve. Use a brush
to wash parts wi th a sol uti on of hot water and deter-
gent. Dry parts thoroughl y. Use a cl ean, whi te, l i nt-
free cl oth to check that the bore i s cl ean. Oi l the
bores after cl eani ng to prevent rusti ng.
CLEANING
Thoroughl y cl ean the oi l pan and engi ne bl ock gas-
ket surfaces.
Use compressed ai r to cl ean out:
The gal l ey at the oi l fi l ter adaptor hol e.
The front and rear oi l gal l ey hol es.
The feed hol es for the crankshaft mai n beari ngs.
Once the bl ock has been compl etel y cl eaned, appl y
Locti te PST pi pe seal ant wi th Tefl on 592 to the

torque. Ti ghten the 3/8 i nch NPT pl ugs to 27 Nm
(240 i n. l bs.) torque.
INSPECTION
(1) I t i s mandatory to use a di al bore gauge to
measure each cyl i nder bore di ameter. To correctl y
sel ect the proper si ze pi ston, a cyl i nder bore gauge,
capabl e of readi ng i n 0.003 mm (.0001 i n.) I NCRE-
MENTS i s requi red. I f a bore gauge i s not avai l abl e,
do not use an i nsi de mi crometer (Fi g. 30).

(2) Measure the i nsi de di ameter of the cyl i nder
bore at three l evel s bel ow top of bore. Start perpen-
di cul ar (across or at 90 degrees) to the axi s of the
crankshaft and then take two addi ti onal readi ng.
(3) Measure the cyl i nder bore di ameter crosswi se
to the cyl i nder bl ock near the top of the bore. Repeat
the measurement near the mi ddl e of the bore, then
repeat the measurement near the bottom of the bore.
(4) Determi ne taper by subtracti ng the smal l er
di ameter from the l arger di ameter.
(5) Rotate measuri ng devi ce 90 and repeat steps
above.
(6) Determi ne out-of-roundness by compari ng the
di fference between each measurement.
(7) I f cyl i nder bore taper does not exceed 0.025
mm (0.001 i nch) and out-of-roundness does not
exceed 0.025 mm (0.001 i nch), the cyl i nder bore can
be honed. I f the cyl i nder bore taper or out- of-round
condi ti on exceeds these maxi mum l i mi ts, the cyl i nder
bl ock must be repl aced. A sl i ght amount of taper
al ways exi sts i n the cyl i nder bore after the engi ne
has been i n use for a peri od of ti me.

assembl y.
There are two secondary dri ve chai ns, both are
rol l er type, one to dri ve the camshaft i n each SOHC
cyl i nder head. There are no shaft speed changes i n
the secondary chai n dri ve system. Each secondary
chai n dri ves a 26 tooth cam sprocket di rectl y from
the 26 tooth sprocket on the i dl er sprocket assembl y.
A fi xed chai n gui de and a hydraul i c oi l damped ten-

ary chai n system. The hydraul i c tensi oners for the
secondary chai n systems are fed pressuri zed oi l from
oi l reservoi r pockets i n the bl ock. Each tensi oner
i ncorporates a control l ed l eak path through a devi ce
known as a vent di sc l ocated i n the nose of the pi ston
to manage chai n l oads. Each tensi oner al so has a
mechani cal ratchet system that l i mi ts chai n sl ack i f
the tensi oner pi ston bl eeds down after engi ne shut
down. The tensi oner arms and gui des al so uti l i ze
nyl on wear faces for l ow fri cti on and l ong wear. The

SERVICE PROCEDURE - TIMING VERIFICATION
CAUTION: The 3.7L is a non free-wheeling design
engine. Therefore, correct engine timing is critical.
NOTE: Components referred to as left hand or right
hand are as viewed from the drivers position inside
the vehicle.
NOTE: The blue link plates on the chains and the
dots on the camshaft drive sprockets may not line
up during the timing verification procedure. The
blue link plates are lined up with the sprocket dots
only when re-timing the complete timing drive.
Once the timing drive is rotated blue link-to-dot
alignment is no longer valid.

CAUTION: When the timing chain is removed and
the cylinder heads are still installed, DO NOT force-
fully rotate the camshafts or crankshaft indepen-
dently of each other. Severe valve and/or piston
damage can occur.
CAUTION: When removing the cam sprocket, timing
chains or camshaft, Failure to use special tool 8350
will result in hydraulic tensioner ratchet over exten-
sion, Requiring timing chain cover removal to re-set
the tensioner ratchet.

INSPECTION
(1) I t i s mandatory to use a di al bore gauge to
measure each cyl i nder bore di ameter. To correctl y
sel ect the proper si ze pi ston, a cyl i nder bore gauge,
capabl e of readi ng i n 0.003 mm (.0001 i n.) I NCRE-
MENTS i s requi red. I f a bore gauge i s not avai l abl e,
do not use an i nsi de mi crometer (Fi g. 49).
(2) Measure the i nsi de di ameter of the cyl i nder
bore at three l evel s bel ow top of bore. Start perpen-
di cul ar (across or at 90 degrees) to the axi s of the
crankshaft and then take two addi ti onal readi ng.
(3) Measure the cyl i nder bore di ameter crosswi se
to the cyl i nder bl ock near the top of the bore. Repeat

the measurement near the mi ddl e of the bore, then
repeat the measurement near the bottom of the bore.
(4) Determi ne taper by subtracti ng the smal l er
di ameter from the l arger di ameter.
(5) Rotate measuri ng devi ce 90 and repeat steps
above.
(6) Determi ne out-of-roundness by compari ng the
di fference between each measurement.
(7) I f cyl i nder bore taper does not exceed 0.025
mm (0.001 i nch) and out-of-roundness does not
exceed 0.025 mm (0.001 i nch), the cyl i nder bore can
be honed. I f the cyl i nder bore taper or out- of-round
condi ti on exceeds these maxi mum l i mi ts, the cyl i nder

PISTON & CONNECTING ROD
DESCRIPTION
CAUTION: Do not use a metal stamp to mark con-
necting rods as damage may result, instead use ink
or a scratch awl.
The pi stons are made of a hi gh strength al umi num
al l oy. The anodi zed top ri ng groove and crown has
been repl aced wi th a coated top ri ng that i s bl ue i n
col or on the bottom surface. Pi ston ski rts are coated
wi th a sol i d l ubri cant (Mol ykote) to reduce fri cti on
and provi de scuff resi stance. The connecti ng rods are
made of forged powdered metal , wi th a fractured
cap desi gn. A pressed fi t pi ston pi n i s used to attach
the pi ston and connecti ng rod.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - PISTON FITTING
(1) To correctl y sel ect the proper si ze pi ston, a cyl -
i nder bore gauge, capabl e of readi ng i n 0.003 mm (
.0001 i n.) I NCREMENTS i s requi red. I f a bore gauge
i s not avai l abl e, do not use an i nsi de mi crometer.
(2) Measure the i nsi de di ameter of the cyl i nder
bore at a poi nt 38.0 mm (1.5 i nches) bel ow top of
bore. Start perpendi cul ar (across or at 90 degrees) to
the axi s of the crankshaft at poi nt A and then take
an addi ti onal bore readi ng 90 degrees to that at poi nt
B (Fi g. 72).
(3) The coated pi stons wi l l be servi ced wi th the
pi ston pi n and connecti ng rod pre-assembl ed.
(4) The coati ng materi al i s appl i ed to the pi ston
after the fi nal pi ston machi ni ng process. Measuri ng
the outsi de di ameter of a coated pi ston wi l l not pro-
vi de accurate resul ts (Fi g. 71). Therefore measuri ng
the i nsi de di ameter of the cyl i nder bore wi th a di al
Bore Gauge i s MANDATORY. To correctl y sel ect the
proper si ze pi ston, a cyl i nder bore gauge capabl e of
readi ng i n 0.003 mm (.0001 i n.) i ncrements i s
requi red.
(5) Pi ston i nstal l ati on i nto the cyl i nder bore
requi res sl i ghtl y more pressure than that requi red
for non-coated pi stons. The bonded coati ng on the
pi ston wi l l gi ve the appearance of a l i ne-to-l i ne fi t
wi th the cyl i nder bore.

DESCRIPTION TIMING DRIVE SYSTEM
The ti mi ng dri ve system (Fi g. 114) has been

to support a non-free wheeling engi ne. Speci fi cal l y
the i ntake val ves are non-free wheel i ng and can be
easi l y damaged wi th forceful engi ne rotati on i f cam-
shaft-to-crankshaft ti mi ng i s i ncorrect. The ti mi ng
dri ve system consi sts of a pri mary chai n and two sec-
ondary ti mi ng chai n dri ves.
OPERATION - TIMING DRIVE SYSTEM
The pri mary ti mi ng chai n i s a si ngl e i nverted tooth
type. The pri mary chai n dri ves the l arge fi fty tooth
i dl er sprocket di rectl y from a 25 tooth crankshaft
sprocket. Pri mary chai n moti on i s control l ed by a
pi voti ng l eaf spri ng tensi oner arm and a fi xed gui de.
The arm and the gui de both use nyl on pl asti c wear
faces for l ow fri cti on and l ong wear. The pri mary
chai n recei ves oi l spl ash l ubri cati on from the second-
ary chai n dri ve and oi l pump l eakage. The i dl er
sprocket assembl y connects the pri mary and second-
ary chai n dri ves. The i dl er sprocket assembl y con-
si sts of two i ntegral thi rty tooth sprockets and a fi fty
tooth sprocket that i s spl i ned to the assembl y. The
spl i ne joi nt i s a non servi ceabl e press fi t anti rattl e
type. The i dl er sprocket assembl y spi ns on a stati on-
ary i dl er shaft. The i dl er shaft i s press-fi t i nto the
cyl i nder bl ock. A l arge washer on the i dl er shaft bol t
and the rear fl ange of the i dl er shaft are used to con-
trol sprocket thrust movement. Pressuri zed oi l i s
routed through the center of the i dl er shaft to pro-
vi de l ubri cati on for the two bushi ngs used i n the
i dl er sprocket assembl y.
There are two secondary dri ve chai ns, both are
i nverted tooth type, one to dri ve the camshaft i n each
SOHC cyl i nder head. There are no shaft speed
changes i n the secondary chai n dri ve system. Each
secondary chai n dri ves a thi rty tooth cam sprocket

NOTE: The blue link plates on the chains and the
dots on the camshaft drive sprockets may not line
up during the timing verification procedure. The
blue link plates are lined up with the sprocket dots
only when re-timing the complete timing drive.
Once the timing drive is rotated blue link-to-dot
alignment is no longer valid.

Use a bl ack l i ght to check for the oi l l eak:
(a) Ci rcul ar spray pattern general l y i ndi cates
seal l eakage or crankshaft damage.
(b) Where l eakage tends to run strai ght down,
possi bl e causes are a porous bl ock, camshaft bore
cup pl ugs, oi l gal l ey pi pe pl ugs, oi l fi l ter runoff,
and mai n beari ng cap to cyl i nder bl ock mati ng sur-
faces. See Engi ne, for proper repai r procedures of
these i tems.
(4) I f no l eaks are detected, pressuri zed the crank-
case as outl i ned i n the secti on, I nspecti on (Engi ne oi l
Leaks i n general )
CAUTION: Do not exceed 20.6 kPa (3 psi).
(5) I f the l eak i s not detected, very sl owl y turn the
crankshaft and watch for l eakage. I f a l eak i s

HYDRAULIC TAPPETS
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - HYDRAULIC
TAPPETS
Before di sassembl i ng any part of the engi ne to cor-
rect tappet noi se, check the oi l pressure. I f vehi cl e
has no oi l pressure gauge, i nstal l a rel i abl e gauge at
the pressure sendi ng-uni t. The pressure shoul d be
between 207-552 kPa (30-70 psi ) at 3,000 RPM.
Check the oi l l evel after the engi ne reaches normal
operati ng temperature. Al l ow 5 mi nutes to stabi l i ze
oi l l evel , check di psti ck. The oi l l evel i n the pan
shoul d never be above the FULL mark or bel ow the
ADD OI L mark on di psti ck. Ei ther of these two con-
di ti ons coul d be responsi bl e for noi sy tappets.
OIL LEVEL
HIGH
I f oi l l evel i s above the FULL mark, i t i s possi bl e
for the connecti ng rods to di p i nto the oi l . Wi th the
engi ne runni ng, thi s condi ti on coul d create foam i n
the oi l pan. Foam i n oi l pan woul d be fed to the
hydraul i c tappets by the oi l pump causi ng them to
l ose l ength and al l ow val ves to seat noi si l y.
LOW
Low oi l l evel may al l ow oi l pump to take i n ai r. When
ai r i s fed to the tappets, they l ose l ength, whi ch al l ows
val ves to seat noi si l y. Any l eaks on i ntake si de of oi l
pump through whi ch ai r can be drawn wi l l create the
same tappet acti on. Check the l ubri cati on system from
the i ntake strai ner to the pump cover, i ncl udi ng the
rel i ef val ve retai ner cap. When tappet noi se i s due to
aerati on, i t may be i ntermi ttent or constant, and usu-
al l y more than one tappet wi l l be noi sy. When oi l l evel
and l eaks have been corrected, operate the engi ne at
fast i dl e. Run engi ne for a suffi ci ent ti me to al l ow al l of
the ai r i nsi de the tappets to be bl ed out.
TAPPET NOISE DIAGNOSIS
(1) To determi ne source of tappet noi se, operate
engi ne at i dl e wi th cyl i nder head covers removed.
(2) Feel each val ve spri ng or rocker arm to detect
noi sy tappet. The noi sy tappet wi l l cause the affected
spri ng and/or rocker arm to vi brate or feel rough i n
operati on.
NOTE: Worn valve guides or cocked springs are
sometimes mistaken for noisy tappets. If such is
the case, noise may be dampened by applying side
thrust on the valve spring. If noise is not apprecia-
bly reduced, it can be assumed the noise is in the
tappet. Inspect the rocker arm push rod sockets
and push rod ends for wear.
(3) Val ve tappet noi se ranges from l i ght noi se to a
heavy cl i ck. A l i ght noi se i s usual l y caused by excessi ve
l eak-down around the uni t pl unger, or by the pl unger
parti al l y sti cki ng i n the tappet body cyl i nder. The tap-
pet shoul d be repl aced. A heavy cl i ck i s caused by a tap-
pet check val ve not seati ng, or by forei gn parti cl es
wedged between the pl unger and the tappet body. Thi s
wi l l cause the pl unger to sti ck i n the down posi ti on.
Thi s heavy cl i ck wi l l be accompani ed by excessi ve cl ear-
ance between the val ve stem and rocker arm as val ve
cl oses. I n ei ther case, tappet assembl y shoul d be
removed for i nspecti on and cl eani ng.
(4) The val ve trai n generates a noi se very much
l i ke a l i ght tappet noi se duri ng normal operati on.
Care must be taken to ensure that tappets are mak-
i ng the noi se. I f more than one tappet seems to be
noi sy, i ts probabl y not the tappets.

PISTON & CONNECTING ROD
DESCRIPTION
PISTONS
The pi ston (Fi g. 85) i s constructed of al umi num
and i s gravi ty cast, free fl oati ng desi gn. The pi ston
i ncorporates a central l y l ocated hi gh swi rl combus-
ti on bowl , and uti l i zes a keystone styl e top com-
pressi on ri ng (Fi g. 86), and a Tapered Face
i ntermedi ate ri ng (Fi g. 86), for superi or cyl i nder wal l
scrapi ng. Pi ston cool i ng nozzl es cool the pi ston and
pi n wi th engi ne oi l suppl i ed by the crankshaft mai n
journal s. Hi gh horsepower pi stons are gal l ery cool ed
and uti l i ze J-jet pi ston cool i ng nozzl es. Pi stons are
di recti onal i n order to provi de cl earance to pi ston
cool i ng nozzl es.
CONNECTING RODS
The connecti ng rods are a spl i t angl e desi gn. They
have a pressed-i n-pl ace wri st pi n bushi ng that i s
l ubri cated by pi ston cool i ng nozzl e oi l spray.
Machined connecting rods are no longer used
in the diesel engine. Do not install machined
connecting rods into an engine that has frac-
tured split connecting rods.
Fractured spl i t connecti ng rods are fi rst manufac-
tured as a si ngl e pi ece and then fractured i nto two
pi eces. Fractured spl i t connecti ng rods can be i denti -
fi ed by a rough and i rregul ar surface at the connect-
i ng rod spl i t face. To properl y assembl e the rod cap to
the connecti ng rod, the beari ng tangs on the connect-
i ng rod and cap must be l ocated on the same si de of
the rod. The l ong end of the connecti ng rod must be
assembl ed on the i ntake or camshaft si de of the
engi ne.
Each matched fractured spl i t connecti ng rod and
cap i s an assembl y and are not i nterchangeabl e. I f a
connecti ng rod or cap i s damaged, the enti re assem-
bl y must be repl aced.

DESCRIPTION
NOTE: Refer to (Fig. 105) and (Fig. 106) for circuit
illustrations.
A gear dri ven gerotor type oi l pump i s mounted
behi nd the front gear cover i n the l ower ri ght porti on
on the engi ne.
OPERATION
A gerotor styl e oi l pump draws oi l from the crank-
case through the sucti on tube and del i vers i t through
the bl ock where i t enters the oi l cool er cover and
pressure regul ator val ve. When oi l pressure exceeds
517 kPa (75 PSI ), the val ve opens exposi ng the dump
port, whi ch routes excess oi l back to the oi l pump.
At the same ti me, oi l i s di rected to a cast i n pas-
sage i n the oi l cool er cover, l eadi ng to the oi l cool er
el ement. As the oi l travel s through the el ement
pl ates, i t i s cool ed by engi ne cool ant travel i ng past
the outsi de of the pl ates. I t i s then routed to the oi l
fi l ter head and through a ful l fl ow oi l fi l ter. I f a
pl ugged fi l ter i s encountered, the fi l ter by-pass val ve
opens, al l owi ng unfi l tered oi l to l ubri cate the engi ne.
Thi s condi ti on can be avoi ded by frequent oi l and fi l -
ter changes, per the mai ntenance schedul es found i n
the owners manual . The by-pass val ve i s cal i brated
to open when i t sees a pressure drop of more than
345 kPa (50 psi ) across the oi l fi l ter.
The oi l fi l ter head then di vi des the oi l between the
engi ne and the turbocharger. The turbocharger
recei ves fi l tered, cool ed and pressuri zed oi l through a
suppl y l i ne from the fi l ter head. The oi l l ubri cates
the turbocharger and returns to the pan by way of a
drai n tube connecti ng the bottom of the turbocharger
to a pressed i n tube i n the cyl i nder bl ock.
Oi l i s then carri ed across the bl ock to an angl e
dri l l i ng whi ch i ntersects the mai n oi l ri fl e. The mai n
oi l ri fl e runs the l ength of the bl ock and del i vers oi l
to the crankshaft mai n journal s and val ve trai n. Oi l
travel s to the crankshaft through a seri es of transfer
dri l l i ngs (one for each mai n beari ng) and l ubri cates a
groove i n the mai n beari ng upper shel l . From there
another dri l l i ng feeds the camshaft mai n journal s.
The saddl e jet pi ston cool i ng nozzl es are al so sup-
pl i ed by the mai n beari ng upper shel l . J-jet pi ston
cool i ng nozzl es are suppl i ed by a separate oi l ri fl e.
Pl ugs are used i n pl ace of saddl e jets when J-jets are
used. J-jet hol e l ocati ons are pl ugged when saddl e jet
cool i ng nozzl es are used. Crankshaft i nternal cross-
dri l l i ngs suppl y oi l to the connecti ng rod journal s.
Another seri es of transfer dri l l i ngs i ntersecti ng the
mai n oi l ri fl e suppl y the val ve trai n components. Oi l
travel s up the dri l l i ng, through a hol e i n the head
gasket, and through a dri l l i ng i n the cyl i nder head
(one per cyl i nder), where i t enters the rocker arm
pedestal and i s di vi ded between the i ntake and
exhaust rocker arm. Oi l travel s up and around the
rocker arm mounti ng bol t, and l ubri cates the rocker
shaft by cross dri l l i ngs that i ntersect the mounti ng
bol t hol e. Grooves at both ends of the rocker shaft
suppl y oi l through the rocker arm where the oi l trav-
el s to the push rod and socket bal l s (Fi g. 105) and
(Fi g. 106).

DESCRIPTION - CATALYTIC CONVERTER
WARNING: THE NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERA-
TURE 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 CON-
VERTER 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.

unburned fuel enters the converter, overheati ng may
occur. I f a converter i s heat-damaged, correct the
cause of the damage at the same ti me the converter
i s repl aced. Al so, i nspect al l other components of the
exhaust system for heat damage.

fl ow through the turbi ne wheel . As the i ntake mani -
fol d pressure i ncreases, the wastegate actuator opens
the val ve, di verti ng some of the exhaust gases away

The turbocharger i s l ubri cated by engi ne oi l that i s

beari ng housi ng, routes the engi ne oi l back to the
crankcase.
The most common turbocharger fai l ure i s beari ng

equate cool -down peri ods. A sudden engi ne shut
down after prol onged operati on wi l l resul t i n the
transfer of heat from the turbi ne secti on of the tur-
bocharger to the beari ng housi ng. Thi s causes the oi l
to overheat and break down, whi ch causes beari ng
and shaft damage the next ti me the vehi cl e i s

*First choice - Gas Metal Arc Welding Process: Butt joints - apply two layers (passes) of weld metal. First pass
should only fill approximately
1
2 the thickness. Vertical position welds - maintain electrode wire at leading edge of
weld puddle while traveling down hill to produce maximum penetration into the sleeve. These techniques work for
FCAW as well.
**E7018 new electrodes may be exposed to the atmosphere for up to ten hours with no harmful effect.
Reconditioning schedules should come from the manufacturer.

OPERATION
Fuel Pressure Regulator Operation: The pres-
sure regul ator i s a mechani cal devi ce that i s not con-
trol l ed by engi ne vacuum or the Powertrai n Control
Modul e (PCM).
The regul ator i s cal i brated to mai ntai n fuel system
operati ng pressure of approxi matel y 58 2 psi at the
fuel i njectors. I t contai ns a di aphragm, cal i brated
spri ngs and a fuel return val ve. The i nternal fuel fi l -
ter (Fi g. 2) i s al so part of the assembl y.
Fuel i s suppl i ed to the fi l ter/regul ator by the el ec-
tri c fuel pump through an openi ng tube at the bot-
tom of fi l ter/regul ator (Fi g. 2).
The regul ator acts as a check val ve to mai ntai n
some fuel pressure when the engi ne i s not operati ng.
Thi s wi l l hel p to start the engi ne. A second check
val ve i s l ocated at the outl et end of the el ectri c fuel
pump. Refer to Fuel Pump - Description and
Operation for more information.
I f fuel pressure at the pressure regul ator exceeds
approxi matel y 60 psi , an i nternal di aphragm opens
and excess fuel pressure i s routed back i nto the tank
through the bottom of pressure regul ator.
Both fuel fi l ters (at bottom of fuel pump modul e
and wi thi n fuel pressure regul ator) are desi gned for

FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT /
SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
The fuel gauge sendi ng uni t (fuel l evel sensor) i s
attached to the si de of the fuel pump modul e. The
sendi ng uni t consi sts of a fl oat, an arm, and a vari -
abl e resi stor track (card).
OPERATION
The fuel pump modul e has 4 di fferent ci rcui ts
(wi res). Two of these ci rcui ts are used for the fuel
gauge sendi ng uni t for fuel gauge operati on, and for
certai n OBD I I emi ssi on requi rements. The other 2
wi res are used for el ectri c fuel pump operati on.
For Fuel Gauge Operation: A constant current
source i s suppl i ed to the resi stor track on the fuel
gauge sendi ng uni t. Thi s i s fed di rectl y from the
Powertrai n Control Modul e (PCM). NOTE: For
diagnostic purposes, this 12V power source can
only be verified with the circuit opened (fuel
pump module electrical connector unplugged).
With the connectors plugged, output voltages
will vary fromabout 0.6 volts at FULL, to about
8.6 volts at EMPTY (about 8.6 volts at EMPTY
for J eep models, and about 7.0 volts at EMPTY
for Dodge Truck models). The resi stor track i s
used to vary the vol tage (resi stance) dependi ng on
fuel tank fl oat l evel . As fuel l evel i ncreases, the fl oat
and arm move up, whi ch decreases vol tage. As fuel
l evel decreases, the fl oat and arm move down, whi ch
i ncreases vol tage. The vari ed vol tage si gnal i s
returned back to the PCM through the sensor return
ci rcui t.
Both of the el ectri cal ci rcui ts between the fuel
gauge sendi ng uni t and the PCM are hard-wi red (not
mul ti -pl exed). After the vol tage si gnal i s sent from
the resi stor track, and back to the PCM, the PCM
wi l l i nterpret the resi stance (vol tage) data and send
a message across the mul ti -pl ex bus ci rcui ts to the
i nstrument panel cl uster. Here i t i s transl ated i nto
the appropri ate fuel gauge l evel readi ng. Refer to
I nstrument Panel for addi ti onal i nformati on.
For OBD II Emission Monitor Requirements:
The PCM wi l l moni tor the vol tage output sent from
the resi stor track on the sendi ng uni t to i ndi cate fuel
l evel . The purpose of thi s feature i s to prevent the
OBD I I system from recordi ng/setti ng fal se mi sfi re
and fuel system moni tor di agnosti c troubl e codes.
The feature i s acti vated i f the fuel l evel i n the tank
i s l ess than approxi matel y 15 percent of i ts rated
capaci ty. I f equi pped wi th a Leak Detecti on Pump
(EVAP system moni tor), thi s feature wi l l al so be acti -
vated i f the fuel l evel i n the tank i s more than
approxi matel y 85 percent of i ts rated capaci ty.

FUEL TANK
DESCRIPTION
The fuel tank i s constructed of a pl asti c materi al .
I ts mai n functi ons are for fuel storage and for pl ace-
ment of the fuel pump modul e, and (i f equi pped) cer-
tai n ORVR components.
OPERATION
Al l model s pass a ful l 360 degree rol l over test
wi thout fuel l eakage. To accompl i sh thi s, fuel and
vapor fl ow control s are requi red for al l fuel tank con-
necti ons.
Two check (control ) val ves are mounted i nto the
top of the fuel tank. Refer to Fuel Tank Check Val ve
for addi ti onal i nformati on.
An evaporati on control system i s connected to the
fuel tank to reduce emi ssi ons of fuel vapors i nto the
atmosphere. When fuel evaporates from the fuel
tank, vapors pass through vent hoses or tubes to a
charcoal cani ster where they are temporari l y hel d.
When the engi ne i s runni ng, the vapors are drawn
i nto the i ntake mani fol d. Certai n model s are al so
equi pped wi th a sel f-di agnosi ng system usi ng a Leak
Detecti on Pump (LDP) and/or an On-Board Refuel i ng
Vapor Recovery (ORVR) system. Refer to Emi ssi on
Control System for addi ti onal i nformati on.

IDLE AIR CONTROL MOTOR
DESCRIPTION
A separate I AC motor i s not used wi th the 5.7L V-8
engi ne.
The I AC stepper motor i s mounted to the throttl e
body, and regul ates the amount of ai r bypassi ng the
control of the throttl e pl ate. As engi ne l oads and
ambi ent temperatures change, engi ne rpm changes.
A pi ntl e on the I AC stepper motor protrudes i nto a
passage i n the throttl e body, control l i ng ai r fl ow
through the passage. The I AC i s control l ed by the
Powertrai n Control Modul e (PCM) to mai ntai n the
target engi ne i dl e speed.
OPERATION
A separate I AC motor i s not used wi th the 5.7L V-8
engi ne.
At i dl e, engi ne speed can be i ncreased by retract-
i ng the I AC motor pi ntl e and al l owi ng more ai r to
pass through the port, or i t can be decreased by
restri cti ng the passage wi th the pi ntl e and di mi ni sh-
i ng the amount of ai r bypassi ng the throttl e pl ate.
The I AC i s cal l ed a stepper motor because i t i s
moved (rotated) i n steps, or i ncrements. Openi ng the
I AC opens an ai r passage around the throttl e bl ade
whi ch i ncreases RPM.
The PCM uses the I AC motor to control i dl e speed
(al ong wi th ti mi ng) and to reach a desi red MAP dur-
i ng decel (keep engi ne from stal l i ng).
The I AC motor has 4 wi res wi th 4 ci rcui ts. Two of
the wi res are for 12 vol ts and ground to suppl y el ec-
tri cal current to the motor wi ndi ngs to operate the
stepper motor i n one di recti on. The other 2 wi res are
al so for 12 vol ts and ground to suppl y el ectri cal cur-
rent to operate the stepper motor i n the opposi te
di recti on.
To make the I AC go i n the opposi te di recti on, the
PCM just reverses pol ari ty on both wi ndi ngs. I f onl y
1 wi re i s open, the I AC can onl y be moved 1 step
(i ncrement) i n ei ther di recti on. To keep the I AC
motor i n posi ti on when no movement i s needed, the
PCM wi l l energi ze both wi ndi ngs at the same ti me.
Thi s l ocks the I AC motor i n pl ace.
I n the I AC motor system, the PCM wi l l count
every step that the motor i s moved. Thi s al l ows the
PCM to determi ne the motor pi ntl e posi ti on. I f the
memory i s cl eared, the PCM no l onger knows the
posi ti on of the pi ntl e. So at the fi rst key ON, the
PCM dri ves the I AC motor cl osed, regardl ess of
where i t was before. Thi s zeros the counter. From
thi s poi nt the PCM wi l l back out the I AC motor and
keep track of i ts posi ti on agai n.
When engi ne rpm i s above i dl e speed, the I AC i s
used for the fol l owi ng:
Off-i dl e dashpot (throttl e bl ade wi l l cl ose qui ckl y
but i dl e speed wi l l not stop qui ckl y)
Decel erati on ai r fl ow control
A/C compressor l oad control (al so opens the pas-
sage sl i ghtl y before the compressor i s engaged so
that the engi ne rpm does not di p down when the
compressor engages)
Power steeri ng l oad control
The PCM can control pol ari ty of the ci rcui t to con-
trol di recti on of the stepper motor.

IAC Stepper Motor Program: The PCM i s al so
equi pped wi th a memory program that records the
number of steps the I AC stepper motor most recentl y
advanced to duri ng a certai n set of parameters. For
exampl e: The PCM was attempti ng to mai ntai n a
1000 rpm target duri ng a col d start-up cycl e. The l ast
recorded number of steps for that may have been
125. That val ue woul d be recorded i n the memory
cel l so that the next ti me the PCM recogni zes the
i denti cal condi ti ons, the PCM recal l s that 125 steps
were requi red to mai ntai n the target. Thi s program
al l ows for greater customer sati sfacti on due to
greater control of engi ne i dl e.
Another functi on of the memory program, whi ch
occurs when the power steeri ng swi tch (i f equi pped),
or the A/C request ci rcui t, requi res that the I AC step-
per motor control engi ne rpm, i s the recordi ng of the
l ast targeted steps i nto the memory cel l . The PCM
can anti ci pate A/C compressor l oads. Thi s i s accom-
pl i shed by del ayi ng compressor operati on for approx-
i matel y 0.5 seconds unti l the PCM moves the I AC
stepper motor to the recorded steps that were l oaded
i nto the memory cel l . Usi ng thi s program hel ps el i m-
i nate i dl e-qual i ty changes as l oads change. Fi nal l y,
the PCM i ncorporates a No-Load engi ne speed l i m-
i ter of approxi matel y 1800 - 2000 rpm, when i t rec-
ogni zes that the TPS i s i ndi cati ng an i dl e si gnal and
I AC motor cannot mai ntai n engi ne i dl e.
A (factory adjusted) set screw i s used to mechani -
cal l y l i mi t the posi ti on of the throttl e body throttl e
pl ate. Never attempt to adjust the engine idle
speed using this screw. Al l i dl e speed functi ons are
control l ed by the I AC motor through the PCM.

DESCRIPTION
The 2wi re I ntake Mani fol d Ai r Temperature (I AT)
sensor i s i nstal l ed i n the i ntake mani fol d wi th the
sensor el ement extendi ng i nto the ai r stream.
The I AT sensor i s a two-wi re Negati ve Thermal
Coeffi ci ent (NTC) sensor. Meani ng, as i ntake mani -
fol d temperature i ncreases, resi stance (vol tage) i n the
sensor decreases. As temperature decreases, resi s-
tance (vol tage) i n the sensor i ncreases.
OPERATION
The I AT sensor provi des an i nput vol tage to the
Powertrai n Control Modul e (PCM) i ndi cati ng the
densi ty of the ai r enteri ng the i ntake mani fol d based
upon i ntake mani fol d temperature. At key-on, a
5vol t power ci rcui t i s suppl i ed to the sensor from
the PCM. The sensor i s grounded at the PCM
through a l ow-noi se, sensor-return ci rcui t.
The PCM uses thi s i nput to cal cul ate the fol l owi ng:
I njector pul se-wi dth
Adjustment of spark ti mi ng (to hel p prevent
spark knock wi th hi gh i ntake mani fol d ai r-charge
temperatures)
The resi stance val ues of the I AT sensor i s the same
as for the Engi ne Cool ant Temperature (ECT) sensor.

mounted i nto the front of the i ntake mani fol d wi th 2
screws.

5. 7L V-8
The Mani fol d Absol ute Pressure (MAP) sensor i s
mounted to the front of the i ntake mani fol d ai r pl e-
num box.
OPERATION
The MAP sensor i s used as an i nput to the Power-
trai n Control Modul e (PCM). I t contai ns a si l i con
based sensi ng uni t to provi de data on the mani fol d
vacuum that draws the ai r/fuel mi xture i nto the com-
busti on chamber. The PCM requi res thi s i nformati on
to determi ne i njector pul se wi dth and spark advance.
When mani fol d absol ute pressure (MAP) equal s
Barometri c pressure, the pul se wi dth wi l l be at max-
i mum.
A 5 vol t reference i s suppl i ed from the PCM and
returns a vol tage si gnal to the PCM that refl ects
mani fol d pressure. The zero pressure readi ng i s 0.5V
and ful l scal e i s 4.5V. For a pressure swi ng of 015
psi , the vol tage changes 4.0V. To operate the sensor,
i t i s suppl i ed a regul ated 4.8 to 5.1 vol ts. Ground i s
provi ded through the l ow-noi se, sensor return ci rcui t
at the PCM.
The MAP sensor i nput i s the number one contri b-
utor to fuel i njector pul se wi dth. The most i mportant
functi on of the MAP sensor i s to determi ne baromet-
ri c pressure. The PCM needs to know i f the vehi cl e i s
at sea l evel or at a hi gher al ti tude, because the ai r
densi ty changes wi th al ti tude. I t wi l l al so hel p to cor-
rect for varyi ng barometri c pressure. Barometri c
pressure and al ti tude have a di rect i nverse correl a-
ti on; as al ti tude goes up, barometri c goes down. At
key-on, the PCM powers up and l ooks at MAP vol t-
age, and based upon the vol tage i t sees, i t knows the
current barometri c pressure (rel ati ve to al ti tude).
Once the engi ne starts, the PCM l ooks at the vol tage
agai n, conti nuousl y every 12 mi l l i seconds, and com-
pares the current vol tage to what i t was at key-on.
The di fference between current vol tage and what i t
was at key-on, i s mani fol d vacuum.
Duri ng key-on (engi ne not runni ng) the sensor
reads (updates) barometri c pressure. A normal range
can be obtai ned by moni tori ng a known good sensor.
As the al ti tude i ncreases, the ai r becomes thi nner
(l ess oxygen). I f a vehi cl e i s started and dri ven to a
very di fferent al ti tude than where i t was at key-on,
the barometri c pressure needs to be updated. Any
ti me the PCM sees Wi de Open Throttl e (WOT), based
upon Throttl e Posi ti on Sensor (TPS) angl e and RPM,
i t wi l l update barometri c pressure i n the MAP mem-
ory cel l . Wi th peri odi c updates, the PCM can make
i ts cal cul ati ons more effecti vel y.
The PCM uses the MAP sensor i nput to ai d i n cal -
cul ati ng the fol l owi ng:

The MAP sensor si gnal i s provi ded from a si ngl e
pi ezoresi sti ve el ement l ocated i n the center of a di a-
phragm. The el ement and di aphragm are both made
of si l i cone. As mani fol d pressure changes, the di a-
phragm moves causi ng the el ement to defl ect, whi ch
stresses the si l i cone. When si l i cone i s exposed to
stress, i ts resi stance changes. As mani fol d vacuum
i ncreases, the MAP sensor i nput vol tage decreases
proporti onal l y. The sensor al so contai ns el ectroni cs
that condi ti on the si gnal and provi de temperature

The PCM recogni zes a decrease i n mani fol d pres-
sure by moni tori ng a decrease i n vol tage from the

pressure changes, vol tage changes proporti onatel y.
The range of vol tage output from the sensor i s usu-
al l y between 4.6 vol ts at sea l evel to as l ow as 0.3
vol ts at 26 i n. of Hg. Barometri c pressure i s the pres-
sure exerted by the atmosphere upon an object. At
sea l evel on a standard day, no storm, barometri c
pressure i s approxi matel y 29.92 i n Hg. For every 100
feet of al ti tude, barometri c pressure drops 0.10 i n.

ri c pressure from what shoul d be present for that

DESCRIPTION
The 3-wi re Throttl e Posi ti on Sensor (TPS) i s
mounted on the throttl e body and i s connected to the
throttl e bl ade shaft.
The 5.7L V-8 engi ne does not use a separate TPS

OPERATION
The 5.7L V-8 engi ne does not use a separate Throt-
tl e Posi ti on Sensor (TPS) on the throttl e body.
The 3wi re TPS provi des the Powertrai n Control
Modul e (PCM) wi th an i nput si gnal (vol tage) that
represents the throttl e bl ade posi ti on of the throttl e
body. The sensor i s connected to the throttl e bl ade
shaft. As the posi ti on of the throttl e bl ade changes,
the output vol tage of the TPS changes.
The PCM suppl i es approxi matel y 5 vol ts to the
TPS. The TPS output vol tage (i nput si gnal to the
PCM) represents the throttl e bl ade posi ti on. The
PCM recei ves an i nput si gnal vol tage from the TPS.
Thi s wi l l vary i n an approxi mate range of from .26
vol ts at mi ni mum throttl e openi ng (i dl e), to 4.49 vol ts
at wi de open throttl e. Al ong wi th i nputs from other
sensors, the PCM uses the TPS i nput to determi ne
current engi ne operati ng condi ti ons. I n response to
engi ne operati ng condi ti ons, the PCM wi l l adjust fuel

The fuel i njecti on pump suppl i es hi gh pressure to
the fuel rai l i ndependent of engi ne speed. Thi s hi gh
pressure fuel i s then accumul ated i n the fuel rai l .
Hi gh pressure fuel i s constantl y suppl i ed to the i njec-
tors by the fuel rai l . The Engi ne Control Modul e
(ECM) control s the fuel i ng and ti mi ng of the engi ne
by actuati ng the i njectors.
Fuel enters the system from the el ectri c fuel trans-
fer (l i ft) pump, whi ch i s attached to the fuel fi l ter
assembl y. Fuel i s forced through the fuel fi l ter el e-
ment and then enters the Fuel Pump/Gear Pump,
whi ch i s attached to the rear of the fuel i njecti on
pump. The Fuel Pump/Gear Pump i s a l ow-pressure
pump and produce pressures rangi ng from 551.5 kpa
(80 psi ) to 1241 kpa (180) psi . Fuel then enters the
fuel i njecti on pump. Low pressure fuel i s then sup-
pl i ed to the FCA (Fuel Control Actuator).
The FCA i s an el ectroni cal l y control l ed sol enoi d
val ve. The ECM control s the amount of fuel that
enters the hi gh-pressure pumpi ng chambers by open-
i ng and cl osi ng the FCA based on a demanded fuel
pressure. The FPS (Fuel Pressure Sensor) on the fuel
rai l moni tors the actual fuel pressure and provi des i t
as an i nput to the ECM. When the actuator i s
opened, the maxi mum amount of fuel i s bei ng sup-
pl i ed to the fuel i njecti on pump. Any fuel that does
not enter the i njecti on pump i s di rected to the over-
fl ow val ve. The overfl ow val ve regul ates how much
excess fuel i s used for l ubri cati on of the pump and
how much i s returned to the tank through the drai n
mani fol d.
Fuel enteri ng the i njecti on pump i s pressuri zed to
between 300-1600 bar (4351-23,206 psi ) by three
radi al pumpi ng chambers. The pressuri zed fuel i s
then suppl i ed to the fuel rai l .
WARNING: HIGH-PRESSURE FUEL LINES DELIVER
DIESEL FUEL UNDER EXTREME PRESSURE FROM
THE INJECTION PUMP TO THE FUEL INJECTORS.
THIS MAY BE AS HIGH AS 160,000 KPA (23,206
PSI). USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN INSPECTING
FOR HIGH-PRESSURE FUEL LEAKS. INSPECT FOR
HIGH-PRESSURE FUEL LEAKS WITH A SHEET OF
CARDBOARD. HIGH FUEL INJECTION PRESSURE
CAN CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY IF CONTACT IS
MADE WITH THE SKIN.
Certai n fuel system components can be found i n

SYSTEM PARTS
CAUTION: Cleanliness cannot be overemphasized
when handling or replacing diesel fuel system com-
ponents. This especially includes the fuel injectors,
high-pressure fuel lines and fuel injection pump.
Very tight tolerances are used with these parts. Dirt
contamination could cause rapid part wear and pos-
sible plugging of fuel injector nozzle tip holes. This
in turn could lead to possible engine misfire.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - FUEL SYSTEM
PRIMING
A certai n amount of ai r becomes trapped i n the
fuel system when fuel system components on the
suppl y and/or hi gh-pressure si de are servi ced or
repl aced. Fuel system pri mi ng i s accompl i shed usi ng
the el ectri c fuel transfer (l i ft) pump.
Servi ci ng or repl aci ng fuel system components wi l l
not requi re fuel system pri mi ng.
The fuel transfer (l i ft) pump i s sel f-pri mi ng: When
the key i s fi rst turned on (wi thout cranki ng engi ne),
the pump operates for approxi matel y 1 to 2 second
and then shuts off. The pump wi l l al so operate for up
to 25 seconds after the starter i s qui ckl y engaged,
and then di sengaged wi thout al l owi ng the engi ne to
start. The pump shuts off i mmedi atel y i f the key i s
on and the engi ne stops runni ng.
(1) Turn key to CRANK posi ti on and qui ckl y
rel ease key to ON posi ti on before engi ne starts. Thi s
wi l l operate fuel transfer pump for approxi matel y 25
seconds.
(2) Crank engi ne. I f the engi ne does not start after
25 seconds, turn key OFF. Repeat previ ous step unti l
engi ne starts.
(3) Fuel system pri mi ng i s now compl eted.
(4) Attempt to start engi ne. I f engi ne wi l l not
start, proceed to fol l owi ng steps. When engine does
start, it may run erratically and be noisy for a
few minutes. This is a normal condition.
CAUTION: Do not engage the starter motor for more
than 30 seconds at a time. Allow two minutes
between cranking intervals.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - FUEL HEATER
The fuel heater i s used to prevent di esel fuel from
waxi ng duri ng col d weather operati on.
NOTE: The fuel heater element, fuel heater relay
and fuel heater temperature sensor are not con-
trolled by the Engine Control Module (ECM).
A mal functi oni ng fuel heater can cause a wax
bui l d-up i n the fuel fi l ter/water separator. Wax
bui l d-up i n the fi l ter/separator can cause engi ne
starti ng probl ems and prevent the engi ne from rev-
vi ng up. I t can al so cause bl ue or whi te fog-l i ke
exhaust. I f the heater i s not operati ng i n col d tem-
peratures, the engi ne may not operate due to fuel
waxi ng.
The fuel heater assembl y i s l ocated on the si de of
fuel fi l ter housi ng.
The heater assembl y i s equi pped wi th a bui l t-i n
fuel temperature sensor (thermostat) that senses fuel
temperature. When fuel temperature drops bel ow 45
degrees 8 degrees F, the sensor al l ows current to
fl ow to bui l t-i n heater el ement to warm fuel . When
fuel temperature ri ses above 75 degrees 8 degrees
F, the sensor stops current fl ow to heater el ement
(ci rcui t i s open).
Vol tage to operate fuel heater el ement i s suppl i ed
from i gni ti on swi tch, through fuel heater rel ay (al so
refer to Fuel Heater Rel ay), to fuel temperature sen-
sor and on to fuel heater el ement.
The heater el ement operates on 12 vol ts, 300 watts
at 0 degrees F. As temperature i ncreases, power
requi rements decrease.
A mi ni mum of 7 vol ts i s requi red to operate the
fuel heater. The resi stance val ue of the heater el e-
ment i s l ess than 1 ohm (col d) and up to 1000 ohms
warm.
TESTING
(1) Di sconnect el ectri cal connector from thermostat
(Fi g. 3).
Ambi ent temperature must be bel ow the ci rcui t
cl ose temperature. I f necessary, i nduce thi s ambi ent
temperature by pl aci ng i ce packs on thermostat to

cui t cl ose temperature.
Measure resi stance across two pi ns. Operati ng
range i s 0.3 0.45 Ohms.
(2) I f resi stance i s out of range, remove thermostat
and check resi stance across termi nal connecti ons of
heater. The heater can be checked at room tempera-

FUEL INJ ECTION PUMP
DESCRIPTION
A Robert Bosch hi gh-pressure fuel i njecti on pump
i s used. The pump i s attached to the back of the ti m-
i ng gear cover at the l eft / rear si de of the engi ne.
OPERATION
The fuel i njecti on pump suppl i es hi gh pressure to
the fuel rai l i ndependent of engi ne speed. Thi s hi gh
pressure i s then accumul ated i n the fuel rai l . Hi gh
pressure fuel i s constantl y suppl i ed to the i njectors
by the fuel rai l . The Engi ne Control Modul e (ECM)
control s the fuel i ng and ti mi ng of the engi ne by actu-
ati ng the i njectors.
Fuel enters the system from the el ectri c fuel trans-
fer (l i ft) pump, whi ch i s attached to the fuel fi l ter
assembl y. Fuel i s forced through the fuel fi l ter el e-
ment and then enters the Fuel Pump/Gear Pump,
whi ch i s attached to the rear of the fuel i njecti on
pump. The Fuel Pump/Gear Pump i s a l ow-pressure
pump and produce pressures rangi ng from 551.5 kpa
(80 psi ) to 1241 kpa (180) psi . Fuel then enters the
fuel i njecti on pump. Low pressure fuel i s then sup-
pl i ed to the FCA (Fuel Control Actuator).
The FCA i s an el ectroni cal l y control l ed sol enoi d
val ve. The ECM control s the amount of fuel that
enters the hi gh-pressure pumpi ng chambers by open-
i ng and cl osi ng the FCA based on a demanded fuel
pressure. The FPS (Fuel Pressure Sensor) on the fuel
rai l provi des the actual fuel pressure. When the
actuator i s opened, the maxi mum amount of fuel i s
bei ng suppl i ed to the fuel i njecti on pump. Any fuel
that does not enter the i njecti on pump i s di rected to
the cascade overfl ow val ve. The cascade overfl ow
val ve regul ates how much excess fuel i s used for
l ubri cati on of the pump and how much i s returned to
the tank through the drai n mani fol d.
Fuel enteri ng the i njecti on pump i s pressuri zed to
between 300-1600 bar (4351-23206 psi ) by three
radi al pumpi ng chambers. The pressuri zed fuel i s
then suppl i ed to the fuel rai l .
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - FUEL INJECTION
PUMP TIMING
Wi th the Bosch i njecti on pump, there are no
mechani cal adjustments needed or necessary to
accompl i sh fuel i njecti on ti mi ng. Al l ti mi ng and fuel
adjustments are el ectri cal l y made by the engi ne

FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT /
SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
The fuel gauge sendi ng uni t (fuel l evel sensor) i s
attached to the si de of the fuel tank modul e. The
sendi ng uni t consi sts of a fl oat, an arm, and a vari -
abl e resi stor track (card).
OPERATION
The fuel tank modul e on di esel powered model s
has 2 di fferent ci rcui ts (wi res). Two of these ci rcui ts
are used at the fuel gauge sendi ng uni t for fuel
gauge operati on. The di esel engi ne does not have a
fuel tank modul e mounted el ectri c fuel pump. The
el ectri c fuel pump (fuel transfer pump) i s mounted to
the engi ne.
For Fuel Gauge Operation: A constant i nput
vol tage source of about 12 vol ts (battery vol tage) i s
suppl i ed to the resi stor track on the fuel gauge send-
i ng uni t. Thi s i s fed di rectl y from the Engi ne Control
Modul e (ECM). NOTE: For diagnostic purposes,
this 12V power source can only be verified with
the circuit opened (fuel tank module electrical
connector unplugged). With the connectors
plugged, output voltages will vary fromabout .6
volts at FULL, to about 7.0 volts at EMPTY. The
resi stor track i s used to vary the vol tage (resi stance)
dependi ng on fuel tank fl oat l evel . As fuel l evel
i ncreases, the fl oat and arm move up, whi ch
decreases vol tage. As fuel l evel decreases, the fl oat
and arm move down, whi ch i ncreases vol tage. The
vari ed vol tage si gnal i s returned back to the ECM
through the sensor return ci rcui t.
Both of the el ectri cal ci rcui ts between the fuel
gauge sendi ng uni t and the ECM are hard-wi red (not
mul ti -pl exed). After the vol tage si gnal i s sent from
the resi stor track, and back to the ECM, the ECM
wi l l i nterpret the resi stance (vol tage) data and send
a message across the mul ti -pl ex bus ci rcui ts to the
i nstrument panel cl uster. Here i t i s transl ated i nto
the appropri ate fuel gauge l evel readi ng. Refer to
I nstrument Panel for addi ti onal i nformati on.

FUEL TRANSFER PUMP
DESCRIPTION
The fuel transfer pump (fuel l i ft pump) i s attached
to the rear of the fuel fi l ter/water separator housi ng.
The 12vol t el ectri c pump i s operated and control l ed
by the Engi ne Control Modul e (ECM).
OPERATION
The purpose of the fuel transfer pump i s to suppl y
(transfer) a l ow-pressure fuel source: from the fuel
tank, through the fuel fi l ter/water separator and to
the fuel i njecti on pump. Here, the l ow-pressure i s
rai sed to a hi gh-pressure by the fuel i njecti on pump
for operati on of the hi gh-pressure fuel i njectors.
Check val ves wi thi n the pump, control di recti on of
fuel fl ow and prevent fuel bl eed-back duri ng engi ne
shut down.
Maxi mum current fl ow to the pump i s 5 amperes.
Wi th the engi ne runni ng, the pump has a 100 per-
cent duty-cycl e.
The transfer pump i s sel f-pri mi ng: When the key i s
fi rst turned on (wi thout cranki ng engi ne), the pump
wi l l operate for approxi matel y 2 seconds and then
shut off. The pump wi l l al so operate for up to 25 sec-
onds after the starter i s engaged, and then di sen-
gaged and the engi ne i s not runni ng. The pump
shuts off i mmedi atel y i f the key i s on and the engi ne
stops runni ng.
The fuel vol ume of the transfer pump wi l l al ways
provi de more fuel than the fuel i njecti on pump
requi res. Excess fuel i s returned from the i njecti on
pump through an overfl ow val ve, and then back to
the fuel tank.

WATER IN FUEL SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
The Water-I n-Fuel (WI F) sensor i s l ocated on the
si de of the fuel fi l ter/water separator cani ster (Fi g.
26).
OPERATION
The sensor sends an i nput to the Engi ne Control
Modul e (ECM) when i t senses water i n the fuel fi l ter/
water separator. As the water l evel i n the fi l ter/sep-
arator i ncreases, the resi stance across the WI F
sensor decreases. Thi s decrease i n resi stance i s sent
as a si gnal to the ECM and compared to a hi gh
water standard val ue. Once the val ue reaches 30 to

FUEL DRAIN CIRCUIT
OPERATION
The Fuel Drai n Ci rcui t i ncorporates several
sources of fuel return. Fuel travel s from the fuel tank
to the fuel transfer pump and i s forced through the
fuel fi l ter. Thi s fuel then travel s i nto the fuel i njec-
ti on pump. I t then goes to a fuel drai n l i ne and
returns back to the fuel tank.
The fuel that fl ows to the fuel pump i s pressuri zed
by a gear pump and i nternal l y transferred to the fuel
i njecti on pump. At thi s poi nt the fuel i s channel ed
i nto two passages. One passage sends fuel to the
FCA (Fuel Control Actuator). The other passage
sends fuel to the cascade overfl ow val ve. The over-
fl ow val ve sends some fuel to a l ubri cati on passage.
The rest of the fuel i s sent to a drai n passage whi ch
connects to an external fuel l i ne.
Fuel that travel s through the FCA i s pressuri zed
by the fuel i njecti on pump and sent through an
external hi gh pressure fuel l i ne to the fuel rai l . At
the fuel rai l , fuel i s sent to the fuel i njectors. I f fuel
pressure i n the fuel rai l becomes excessi ve, the pres-
sure l i mi ti ng val ve opens and sends fuel through an
external fuel l i ne.
At the fuel i njector, fuel that i s not i njected i s used
for l ubri cati on of the fuel i njectors. Thi s fuel then
travel s through an i nternal passage that i s connected
to the rear of the cyl i nder head, an then i nto an
external fuel l i ne. Thi s l i ne i s connected to the vehi -
cl es fuel return l i ne, and returns excess fuel to the
fuel tank.

FUEL INJ ECTOR
DESCRIPTION
Si x i ndi vi dual , sol enoi d actuated hi gh-pressure fuel
i njectors are used (Fi g. 14). The i njectors are verti -
cal l y mounted i nto a bored hol e i n the top of the cyl -
i nder head. Thi s bored hol e i s l ocated between the
i ntake/exhaust val ves. Hi gh-pressure connectors (Fi g.
15), mounted i nto the si de of the cyl i nder head, con-
nect each fuel i njector to each hi gh-pressure fuel l i ne.
OPERATION
Hi gh-pressure fuel i s suppl i ed from the i njecti on
pump, through a hi gh-pressure fuel l i ne, i nto a fuel
rai l , through hi gh-pressure l i nes, through steel con-
nectors and i nto the sol enoi d actuated fuel i njector.
The ECM actuates the sol enoi d causi ng the needl e
val ve to ri se and fuel fl ows through the spray hol es
i n the nozzl e ti p i nto the combusti on chamber.
Each fuel i njector i s connected to the fuel rai l by a
hi gh-pressure fuel l i ne and a steel connector. Thi s
steel connector i s posi ti oned i nto the cyl i nder head
and seal ed wi th an o-ri ng. The connector i s retai ned
i n the cyl i nder head by a nut (fi tti ng) that i s
threaded i nto the cyl i nder head.

FLOW AND PRESSURE TEST
(1) Check the power steeri ng bel t to ensure i t i s i n
good condi ti on and adjusted properl y.
(2) Connect pressure gauge hose from the Power
Steeri ng Anal yzer to adapter 6826.
(3) Connect tube 6825A to Power Steeri ng Ana-
l yzer test val ve end.
(4) Di sconnect the hi gh pressure hose from the
power steeri ng pump.
(5) Connect the tube 6825A to the pump fi tti ng.
(6) Connect the power steeri ng hose from the
steeri ng gear to the adapter 6826.
(7) Open the test val ve compl etel y.
(8) Start engi ne and l et i dl e l ong enough to ci rcu-
l ate power steeri ng fl ui d through fl ow/pressure test
gauge and to get ai r out of the fl ui d. Then shut off
engi ne.
(9) Check fl ui d l evel , add fl ui d as necessary. Start
engi ne agai n and l et i dl e.
(10) Gauge shoul d read bel ow 862 kPa (125 psi ), i f
above, i nspect the hoses for restri cti ons and repai r as
necessary. The i ni ti al pressure readi ng shoul d be i n
the range of 345-552 kPa (50-80 psi ).
(11) I ncrease the engi ne speed to 1500 RPM and
read the fl ow meter. I f the fl ow rate (GPM) i s bel ow
speci fi cati on, (refer to pump speci fi cati on chart for
GPM) the pump shoul d be repl aced.
CAUTION: The following test procedure involves
testing maximum pump pressure output and flow
control valve operation. Do not leave valve closed
for more than three seconds as the pump could be
damaged.
(12) Cl ose val ve ful l y three ti mes and record hi gh-
est pressure i ndi cated each ti me. All three read-
ings must be above specifications and within
345 kPa (50 psi) of each other.
Pressures above speci fi cati ons but not wi thi n
345 kPa (50 psi ) of each other, repl ace pump.
Pressures wi thi n 345 kPa (50 psi ) of each other
but bel ow speci fi cati ons, repl ace pump.
(13) Open the test val ve and turn the steeri ng
wheel to the extreme l eft and ri ght posi ti ons three

DESCRIPTION
The power steeri ng gear i s a reci rcul ati ng bal l type
gear (Fi g. 1). The gear rati os used are 12.5:1.
OPERATION
The gear acts as a rol l i ng thread between the
worm shaft and rack pi ston. The worm shaft i s sup-
ported by a thrust beari ng at the l ower end and a
beari ng assembl y at the upper end. When the worm
shaft i s turned from i nput from the steeri ng col umn
the rack pi ston moves. The rack pi ston teeth mesh
wi th the pi tman shaft. Turni ng the worm shaft, turns
the pi tman shaft, whi ch turns the steeri ng l i nkage.
REMOVAL

DESCRIPTION
The transmi ssi on i s a medi um-duty 5-speed, con-
stant mesh ful l y synchroni zed manual transmi ssi on
wi th fi fth gear overdri ve range. The transmi ssi on i s
avai l abl e i n two and four-wheel dri ve confi gurati ons.
The transmi ssi on gear case consi sts of two al umi num
housi ngs (Fi g. 1). The cl utch housi ng i s an i ntegral
part of the transmi ssi on front housi ng.
A combi nati on of rol l er and bal l beari ngs are used
to support the transmi ssi on shafts i n the two hous-
i ngs. The transmi ssi on gears al l rotate on caged type
needl e beari ngs. A rol l er beari ng i s used between the
i nput and output shaft.
The transmi ssi on has a si ngl e shaft shi ft mecha-
ni sm wi th three shi ft forks al l mounted on the shaft.
The shaft i s supported i n the front and rear housi ngs
by bushi ngs and one l i near bal l beari ng. I nternal
shi ft components consi st of the forks, shaft, shi ft
l ever socket and detent components
OPERATION
The manual transmi ssi on recei ves power through the
cl utch assembl y from the engi ne. The cl utch di sc i s
spl i ned to the transmi ssi on i nput shaft and i s turned at
engi ne speed at al l ti mes that the cl utch i s engaged.
The i nput shaft i s connected to the transmi ssi on coun-
tershaft through the mesh of fourth speed gear on the
i nput shaft and the fourth countershaft gear. At thi s
poi nt, al l the transmi ssi on gears are spi nni ng.
The dri ver sel ects a parti cul ar gear by movi ng the
shi ft l ever to the desi red gear posi ti on. Thi s movement
moves the i nternal transmi ssi on shi ft components to
begi n the shi ft sequence. As the shi ft l ever moves the
sel ected shi ft rai l , the shi ft fork attached to that rai l
begi ns to move. The fork i s posi ti oned i n a groove i n the
outer ci rcumference of the synchroni zer sl eeve. As the
shi ft fork moves the synchroni zer sl eeve, the synchro-
ni zer begi ns to speed-up or sl ow down the sel ected gear
(dependi ng on whether we are up-shi fti ng or down-shi ft-
i ng). The synchroni zer does thi s by havi ng the synchro-
ni zer hub spl i ned to the mai nshaft and movi ng the
bl ocker ri ng i nto contact wi th the gears fri cti on cone. As
the bl ocker ri ng and fri cti on cone come together, the
gear speed i s brought up or down to the speed of the
synchroni zer. As the two speeds match, the spl i nes on
the i nsi de of the synchroni zer sl eeve become al i gned
wi th the teeth on the bl ocker ri ng and the fri cti on cone
and eventual l y wi l l sl i de over the teeth, l ocki ng the gear
to the mai nshaft, or countershaft, through the synchro-
ni zer.

HARD SHIFTING
Hard shi fti ng i s usual l y caused by a l ow l ubri cant

sequence of usi ng non-recommended l ubri cants i s
noi se, excessi ve wear, i nternal bi nd and hard shi ft-

shi ft rai l , synchro, and beari ng damage. I f a l eak
goes undetected for an extended peri od, the fi rst i ndi -
cati ons of component damage are usual l y hard shi ft-

Shi ft component damage or damaged cl utch pres-
sure pl ate or di sc are addi ti onal probabl e causes of
i ncreased shi ft effort. Worn/damaged pressure pl ate
or di sc can cause i ncorrect rel ease. I f cl utch probl em

cases thi s condi ti on wi l l decl i ne as the ri ngs wear-i n.
TRANSMISSION NOISE
Most manual transmi ssi ons make some noi se dur-

DESCRIPTION
The NV4500 i s a fi ve speed constant mesh manual
transmi ssi on. Al l gear ranges i ncl udi ng reverse are
synchroni zed. Fi fth gear i s an overdri ve range. The
transmi ssi on has a cast i ron gear case and al umi num
shi ft cover.
Two versi ons are used, a standard duty for 5.7L
appl i cati ons and a heavy duty for V10 and Cummi ns
di esel appl i cati ons. Mai n di fference i s a l arger di am-
eter i nput shaft, for the heavy duty model .
Tapered rol l er beari ngs support the dri ve gear,
mai nshaft and countershaft i n the gear case. Rol l er
beari ngs i n the dri ve gear support the forward end of
the mai nshaft. The mai nshaft gears are al l supported
on caged type rol l er beari ngs. Dri ve gear thrust reac-
ti on i s control l ed by a needl e type thrust beari ng.
The beari ng i s l ocated at the forward end of the
mai nshaft.
The transmi ssi on i s a top l oader styl e. The shi ft
l ever i s l ocated i n a shi fter tower whi ch i s bol ted to
the shi ft cover and operates the shi ft forks and rai l s
di rectl y. The shi ft forks and rai l s are al l l ocated
wi thi n the al umi num cover whi ch i s bol ted to the top
of the gear case.
IDENTIFICATION
The transmi ssi on i denti fi cati on tag i s attached to
the dri ver si de PTO cover (Fi g. 1).
The tag provi des the transmi ssi on model number,
bui l d date and part number. Be sure to rei nstal l the
I .D. tag i f removed duri ng servi ce. The i nformati on
on the tag i s essenti al to correct parts orderi ng.
OPERATION
The manual transmi ssi on recei ves power through
the cl utch assembl y from the engi ne. The cl utch di sc
i s spl i ned to the transmi ssi on i nput shaft and i s
turned at engi ne speed at al l ti mes that the cl utch i s
engaged. The i nput shaft i s connected to the trans-
mi ssi on countershaft through the mesh of fourth
speed gear on the i nput shaft and the fourth counter-
shaft gear. At thi s poi nt al l the transmi ssi on gears
are spi nni ng.

The dri ver sel ects a parti cul ar gear by movi ng the
shi ft l ever to the desi red gear posi ti on. Thi s move-
ment moves the i nternal transmi ssi on shi ft compo-
nents to begi n the shi ft sequence. As the shi ft l ever
moves the sel ected shi ft rai l , the shi ft fork attached
to that rai l begi ns to move. The fork i s posi ti oned i n
a groove i n the outer ci rcumference of the synchro-
ni zer sl eeve. As the shi ft fork moves the synchroni zer
sl eeve, the synchroni zer begi ns to speed-up or sl ow
down the sel ected gear (dependi ng on whether the
dri ver i s up-shi fti ng or down-shi fti ng). The synchro-
ni zer does thi s by havi ng the synchroni zer hub
spl i ned to the mai nshaft, or the countershaft i n some
cases, and movi ng the bl ocker ri ng i nto contact wi th
the gears fri cti on cone. As the bl ocker ri ng and fri c-
ti on cone come together, the gear speed i s brought up
or down to the speed of the synchroni zer. As the two
speeds match, the spl i nes on the i nsi de of the syn-
chroni zer sl eeve become al i gned wi th the teeth on
the bl ocker ri ng and the fri cti on cone and eventual l y
wi l l sl i de over the teeth, l ocki ng the gear to the
mai nshaft, or countershaft, through the synchroni zer.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
LOW LUBRICANT LEVEL
A l ow transmi ssi on l ubri cant l evel i s general l y the
resul t of a l eak, i nadequate l ubri cant fi l l or an i ncor-
rect l ubri cant l evel check. A correct l ubri cant l evel
check can onl y be made when the vehi cl e i s l evel .
Al so al l ow the l ubri cant to settl e for a mi nute or so
before checki ng. These recommendati ons wi l l ensure
an accurate check and avoi d an underfi l l or overfi l l
condi ti on. Al ways check the l ubri cant l evel after any
addi ti on of fl ui d to avoi d an i ncorrect l ubri cant l evel
condi ti on.
Leaks can occur at the mati ng surfaces of the gear
case, adaptor or extensi on housi ng, or from the front/
rear seal s. A suspected l eak coul d al so be the resul t
of an overfi l l condi ti on. Leaks at the rear of the
extensi on or adapter housi ng wi l l be from the hous-
i ng oi l seal s. Leaks at component mati ng surfaces
wi l l probabl y be the resul t of i nadequate seal er, gaps
i n the seal er, i ncorrect bol t ti ghteni ng or use of a
non-recommended seal er. A l eak at the front of the
transmi ssi on wi l l be from ei ther the front beari ng
retai ner or retai ner seal . Lubri cant may be seen dri p-
pi ng from the cl utch housi ng after extended opera-
ti on. I f the l eak i s severe, i t may al so contami nate
the cl utch di sc causi ng the di sc to sl i p, grab and or
chatter.
HARD SHIFTING
Hard shi fti ng i s usual l y caused by a l ow l ubri cant
l evel , i mproper or contami nated l ubri cants. The con-
sequence of usi ng non-recommended l ubri cants i s
noi se, excessi ve wear, i nternal bi nd and hard shi ft-
i ng. Substanti al l ubri cant l eaks can resul t i n gear,
shi ft rai l , synchro, and beari ng damage. I f a l eak
goes undetected for an extended peri od, the fi rst i ndi -
cati ons of component damage are usual l y hard shi ft-
i ng and noi se.
Component damage, i ncorrect cl utch adjustment or
damaged cl utch pressure pl ate or di sc are addi ti onal
probabl e causes of i ncreased shi ft effort. I ncorrect
adjustment or a worn/damaged pressure pl ate or di sc
can cause i ncorrect rel ease. I f cl utch probl em i s
advanced, gear cl ash duri ng shi fts can resul t. Worn
or damaged synchro ri ngs can cause gear cl ash when
shi fti ng i nto any forward gear. I n some new or
rebui l t transmi ssi ons, new synchro ri ngs may tend to
sti ck sl i ghtl y causi ng hard or noi sy shi fts. I n most
cases thi s condi ti on wi l l decl i ne as the ri ngs wear-i n.
TRANSMISSION NOISE
Most manual transmi ssi ons make some noi se dur-
i ng normal operati on. Rotati ng gears generate a mi l d
whi ne that i s audi bl e, but general l y onl y at extreme
speeds. Severe hi ghl y audi bl e transmi ssi on noi se i s
general l y the i ni ti al i ndi cator of a l ubri cant probl em.
I nsuffi ci ent, i mproper or contami nated l ubri cant
wi l l promote rapi d wear of gears, synchros, shi ft
rai l s, forks and beari ngs. The overheati ng caused by
a l ubri cant probl em, can al so l ead to gear breakage.

DESCRIPTION
The NV5600 i s a si x speed constant mesh manual
transmi ssi on (Fi g. 1). Al l gear ranges i ncl udi ng
reverse are synchroni zed. Fi rst and second gears uti -
l i ze dual cone synchroni zers i n order to ai d shi fti ng.
Si xth gear i s an overdri ve range. The transmi ssi on
uses cast i ron for the gear case and extensi on/
adapter housi ng and al umi num for the cl utch hous-
i ng.
To drai n the trans remove the bottom PTO cover
bol t. Fi l l the trans through the pl ug to the rear of the
PTO cover (Fi g. 1). Dry fi l l i s approxi matel y 4.5 l i ters
(9.5 pi nts) or to the bottom edge of the fi l l pl ug hol e.

IDENTIFICATION
The transmi ssi on has two i denti fi cati on tags
attached to the dri ver si de upper cl utch housi ng (Fi g.
2). One tag provi des the transmi ssi on part number.
The second tag provi des sequenci ng and bui l d date
i nformati on. The i nformati on on the tags are essen-
ti al to correct parts orderi ng.
OPERATION
The dri ver sel ects a parti cul ar gear by movi ng the
shi ft l ever to the desi red gear posi ti on. As the shi ft
l ever moves the sel ected shi ft rai l , the shi ft fork
attached to that rai l begi ns to move. The fork i s posi -
ti oned i n a groove i n the outer ci rcumference of the
synchroni zer sl eeve. As the shi ft fork moves the syn-
chroni zer sl eeve, the synchroni zer begi ns to speed-up
or sl ow down the sel ected gear (dependi ng on
whether we are up-shi fti ng or down-shi fti ng). The
synchroni zer does thi s by havi ng the synchroni zer
hub spl i ned to the mai nshaft or the countershaft i n
some cases, and movi ng the bl ocker ri ng i nto contact
wi th the gears fri cti on cone. As the bl ocker ri ng and
fri cti on cone come together, the gear speed i s brought
up or down to the speed of the synchroni zer. As the
two speeds match, the spl i nes on the i nsi de of the
synchroni zer sl eeve become al i gned wi th the teeth on
the bl ocker ri ng and fri cti on cone and eventual l y wi l l
sl i de over the teeth, l ocki ng the gear to the mai n-
shaft or countershaft through the synchroni zer.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
LOW LUBRICANT LEVEL
A l ow transmi ssi on l ubri cant l evel i s general l y the
resul t of a l eak, i nadequate l ubri cant fi l l or an i ncor-
rect l ubri cant l evel check. A correct l ubri cant l evel
check can onl y be made when the vehi cl e i s l evel .
Al so al l ow the l ubri cant to settl e for a mi nute or so
before checki ng. These recommendati ons wi l l ensure
an accurate check and avoi d an underfi l l or overfi l l
condi ti on. Al ways check the l ubri cant l evel after any
addi ti on of fl ui d to avoi d an i ncorrect l ubri cant l evel
condi ti on.
Leaks can occur at the mati ng surfaces of the gear
case, adaptor or extensi on housi ng, or from the front/
rear seal s. A suspected l eak coul d al so be the resul t
of an overfi l l condi ti on. Leaks at the rear of the
extensi on or adapter housi ng wi l l be from the hous-
i ng oi l seal s. Leaks at component mati ng surfaces
wi l l probabl y be the resul t of i nadequate seal er, gaps
i n the seal er, i ncorrect bol t ti ghteni ng or use of a
non-recommended seal er. A l eak at the front of the
transmi ssi on wi l l be from ei ther the front beari ng
retai ner or retai ner seal . Lubri cant may be seen dri p-
pi ng from the cl utch housi ng after extended opera-
ti on. I f the l eak i s severe, i t may al so contami nate
the cl utch di sc causi ng the di sc to sl i p, grab and or
chatter.
HARD SHIFTING
Hard shi fti ng i s usual l y caused by a l ow l ubri cant
l evel , i mproper or contami nated l ubri cants. The con-
sequence of usi ng non-recommended l ubri cants i s
noi se, excessi ve wear, i nternal bi nd and hard shi ft-
i ng. Substanti al l ubri cant l eaks can resul t i n gear,
shi ft rai l , synchro, and beari ng damage. I f a l eak
goes undetected for an extended peri od, the fi rst i ndi -
cati ons of component damage are usual l y hard shi ft-
i ng and noi se.
Component damage, i ncorrect cl utch adjustment or
damaged cl utch pressure pl ate or di sc are addi ti onal
probabl e causes of i ncreased shi ft effort. I ncorrect
adjustment or a worn/damaged pressure pl ate or di sc
can cause i ncorrect rel ease. I f cl utch probl em i s
advanced, gear cl ash duri ng shi fts can resul t. Worn
or damaged synchro ri ngs can cause gear cl ash when
shi fti ng i nto any forward gear. I n some new or
rebui l t transmi ssi ons, new synchro ri ngs may tend to
sti ck sl i ghtl y causi ng hard or noi sy shi fts. I n most
cases thi s condi ti on wi l l decl i ne as the ri ngs wear-i n.
TRANSMISSION NOISE
Most manual transmi ssi ons make some noi se dur-
i ng normal operati on. Rotati ng gears generate a mi l d
whi ne that i s audi bl e, but general l y onl y at extreme
speeds. Severe hi ghl y audi bl e transmi ssi on noi se i s
general l y the i ni ti al i ndi cator of a l ubri cant probl em.
I nsuffi ci ent, i mproper or contami nated l ubri cant
wi l l promote rapi d wear of gears, synchros, shi ft
rai l s, forks and beari ngs. The overheati ng caused by
a l ubri cant probl em, can al so l ead to gear breakage.

DESCRIPTION
The 48RE (Fi g. 1) i s a four speed ful l y automati c
transmi ssi ons wi th an el ectroni c governor. The 48RE
i s equi pped wi th a l ock-up cl utch i n the torque con-
verter. Fi rst through thi rd gear ranges are provi ded
by the cl utches, bands, overrunni ng cl utch, and pl an-
etary gear sets i n the transmi ssi on. Fourth gear
range i s provi ded by the overdri ve uni t that contai ns
an overdri ve cl utch, di rect cl utch, pl anetary gear set,
and overrunni ng cl utch.
The transmi ssi on contai ns a front, rear, and di rect
cl utch whi ch functi on as the i nput dri vi ng compo-
nents. I t al so contai ns the ki ckdown (front) and the
l ow/reverse (rear) bands whi ch, al ong wi th the over-
runni ng cl utch and overdri ve cl utch, serve as the
hol di ng components. The dri vi ng and hol di ng compo-
nents combi ne to sel ect the necessary pl anetary gear
components, i n the front, rear, or overdri ve pl anetary
gear set, transfer the engi ne power from the i nput
shaft through to the output shaft.
The val ve body i s mounted to the l ower si de of the
transmi ssi on and contai ns the val ves to control pres-
sure regul ati on, fl ui d fl ow control , and cl utch/band
appl i cati on. The oi l pump i s mounted at the front of
the transmi ssi on and i s dri ven by the torque con-
verter hub. The pump suppl i es the oi l pressure nec-
essary for cl utch/band actuati on and transmi ssi on

OPERATION
The appl i cati on of each dri vi ng or hol di ng compo-
nent i s control l ed by the val ve body based upon the
manual l ever posi ti on, throttl e pressure, and gover-
nor pressure. The governor pressure i s a vari abl e
pressure i nput to the val ve body and i s one of the
si gnal s that a shi ft i s necessary. Fi rst through fourth
gear are obtai ned by sel ecti vel y appl yi ng and rel eas-
i ng the di fferent cl utches and bands. Engi ne power i s
thereby routed to the vari ous pl anetary gear assem-
bl i es whi ch combi ne wi th the overrunni ng cl utch
assembl i es to generate the di fferent gear rati os. The
torque converter cl utch i s hydraul i cal l y appl i ed and
i s rel eased when fl ui d i s vented from the hydraul i c
ci rcui t by the torque converter control (TCC) sol enoi d
on the val ve body. The torque converter cl utch i s con-
trol l ed by the Powertrai n Control Modul e (PCM). The
torque converter cl utch engages i n fourth gear, and
i n thi rd gear under vari ous condi ti ons, such as when
the O/D swi tch i s OFF, when the vehi cl e i s crui si ng
on a l evel surface after the vehi cl e has warmed up.
The torque converter cl utch can al so be engaged i n
the MANUAL SECOND gear posi ti on i f hi gh trans-
mi ssi on temperatures are sensed by the PCM. The
torque converter cl utch wi l l di sengage momentari l y
when an i ncrease i n engi ne l oad i s sensed by the
PCM, such as when the vehi cl e begi ns to go uphi l l or
the throttl e pressure i s i ncreased. The torque con-
verter cl utch feature i ncreases fuel economy and
reduces the transmi ssi on fl ui d temperature.
Si nce the overdri ve cl utch i s appl i ed i n fourth gear
onl y and the di rect cl utch i s appl i ed i n al l ranges
except fourth gear, the transmi ssi on operati on for

PARK POWERFLOW
As the engi ne i s runni ng and the crankshaft i s
rotati ng, the fl expl ate and torque converter, whi ch
are al so bol ted to i t, are al l rotati ng i n a cl ockwi se
di recti on as vi ewed from the front of the engi ne. The
notched hub of the torque converter i s connected to
the oi l pumps i nternal gear, suppl yi ng the transmi s-
si on wi th oi l pressure. As the converter turns, i t
turns the i nput shaft i n a cl ockwi se di recti on. As the
i nput shaft i s rotati ng, the front cl utch hub-rear
cl utch retai ner and al l thei r associ ated parts are al so
rotati ng, al l bei ng di rectl y connected to the i nput
shaft. The power fl ow from the engi ne through the
front cl utch hub and rear cl utch retai ner stops at the
rear cl utch retai ner. Therefore, no power fl ow to the
output shaft occurs because no cl utches are appl i ed.
The onl y mechani sm i n use at thi s ti me i s the park-

REVERSE POWERFLOW
When the gear sel ector i s moved i nto the
REVERSE posi ti on (Fi g. 5), the front cl utch and the
rear band are appl i ed. Wi th the appl i cati on of the
front cl utch, engi ne torque i s appl i ed to the sun gear,

rotati on of the sun gear causes the rear pl anet pi n-
i ons to rotate agai nst engi ne rotati on i n a counter-
cl ockwi se di recti on. The rear band i s hol di ng the l ow

Si nce the rear carri er i s bei ng hel d, the torque from
the pl anet pi ni ons i s transferred to the rear annul us

FIRST GEAR POWERFLOW
When the gearshi ft l ever i s moved i nto the DRI VE
posi ti on the transmi ssi on goes i nto fi rst gear (Fi g. 6).
As soon as the transmi ssi on i s shi fted from PARK or
NEUTRAL to DRI VE, the rear cl utch appl i es, appl y-
i ng the rear cl utch pack to the front annul us gear.
Engi ne torque i s now appl i ed to the front annul us

front annul us gear turni ng i n a cl ockwi se di recti on, i t
causes the front pl anets to turn i n a cl ockwi se di rec-

to revol ve i n a countercl ockwi se di recti on. The sun
gear now transfers i ts countercl ockwi se rotati on to
the rear pl anets whi ch rotate back i n a cl ockwi se

SECOND GEAR POWERFLOW
I n DRI VE-SECOND (Fi g. 7), the same el ements
are appl i ed as i n MANUAL-SECOND. Therefore, the
power fl ow wi l l be the same, and both gears wi l l be
di scussed as one i n the same. I n DRI VE-SECOND,
the transmi ssi on has proceeded from fi rst gear to i ts
shi ft poi nt, and i s shi fti ng from fi rst gear to second.
The second gear shi ft i s obtai ned by keepi ng the rear
cl utch appl i ed and appl yi ng the front (ki ckdown)
band. The front band hol ds the front cl utch retai ner

rear cl utch sti l l appl i ed, the i nput i s sti l l on the front
annul us gear turni ng i t cl ockwi se at engi ne speed.
Now that the front band i s hol di ng the sun gear sta-
ti onary, the annul us rotati on causes the front pl anets
to rotate i n a cl ockwi se di recti on. The front carri er i s
then al so made to rotate i n a cl ockwi se di recti on but

The vehi cl e has accel erated and reached the shi ft

When the shi ft takes pl ace, the front band i s
rel eased, and the front cl utch i s appl i ed. The rear

The rear pl anetary set i s al so l ocked up, gi ven the

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - AIR TESTING
TRANSMISSION CLUTCH AND BAND
OPERATION
Ai r-pressure testi ng can be used to check transmi s-
si on front/rear cl utch and band operati on. The test
can be conducted wi th the transmi ssi on ei ther i n the
vehi cl e or on the work bench, as a fi nal check, after
overhaul .
Ai r-pressure testi ng requi res that the oi l pan and
val ve body be removed from the transmi ssi on. The
servo and cl utch appl y passages are shown (Fi g. 10).
Front Clutch Air Test

sage. Pi ston movement can be fel t and a soft thump
heard as the cl utch appl i es.
Rear Clutch Air Test
Pl ace one or two fi ngers on the cl utch housi ng and
appl y ai r pressure through rear cl utch appl y passage.
Pi ston movement can be fel t and a soft thump heard
as the cl utch appl i es.
Front Servo Air Test

sage. The servo rod shoul d extend and cause the
band to ti ghten around the drum. Spri ng pressure
shoul d rel ease the servo when ai r pressure i s
removed.
Rear Servo Air Test

When di agnosi ng converter housi ng fl ui d l eaks,
two i tems must be establ i shed before repai r.
(1) Veri fy that a l eak condi ti on actual l y exi sts.
(2) Determi ned the true source of the l eak.
Some suspected converter housi ng fl ui d l eaks may
not be l eaks at al l . They may onl y be the resul t of
resi dual fl ui d i n the converter housi ng, or excess
fl ui d spi l l ed duri ng factory fi l l or fi l l after repai r.
Converter housi ng l eaks have several potenti al
sources. Through careful observati on, a l eak source
can be i denti fi ed before removi ng the transmi ssi on
for repai r. Pump seal l eaks tend to move al ong the
dri ve hub and onto the rear of the converter. Pump
body l eaks fol l ow the same path as a seal l eak (Fi g.
11). Pump vent or pump attachi ng bol t l eaks are gen-
eral l y deposi ted on the i nsi de of the converter hous-
i ng and not on the converter i tsel f (Fi g. 11). Pump
o-ri ng or gasket l eaks usual l y travel down the i nsi de
of the converter housi ng. Front band l ever pi n pl ug

NOTE: Do not use shop towels or rags to dry the
case (or any other transmission component) unless
they are made from lint-free materials. Lint will stick
to case surfaces and transmission components and
circulate throughout the transmission after assem-
bly. A sufficient quantity of lint can block fluid pas-
sages and interfere with valve body operation.

Closed throttle 372-414 kPa (54-60 psi).
Front servo Third or Fourth gear only No more than 21 kPa (3 psi) lower than line pressure.
Rear servo 1 range No more than 21 kPa (3 psi) lower than line pressure.
R range 1103 kPa (160 psi) at idle, builds to 1862 kPa (270 psi)
at 1600 rpm.
Governor D range closed throttle Pressure should respond smoothly to changes in mph
and return to 0-7 kPa (0-1.5 psi) when stopped with
transmission in D, 1, 2. Pressure above 7 kPa (1.5 psi)

ACCUMULATOR
DESCRIPTION
The accumul ator (Fi g. 66) i s a hydraul i c devi ce
that has the sol e purpose of cushi oni ng the appl i ca-
ti on of a band or cl utch. The accumul ator consi sts of
a dual -l and pi ston and a spri ng l ocated i n a bore i n
the transmi ssi on case. The 3-4 accumul ator i s l ocated
i n a housi ng attached to the si de of the val ve body
(Fi g. 67).
OPERATION
Both the accumul ator and the 3-4 accumul ator
functi on the same. Li ne pressure i s di rected to the
smal l end of the pi ston when the transmi ssi on i s
pl aced i nto a DRI VE posi ti on (Fi g. 68), bottomi ng i t
agai nst the accumul ator pl ate. When the 1-2 upshi ft
occurs (Fi g. 69), l i ne pressure i s di rected to the l arge
end of the pi ston and then to the ki ckdown servo. As
the l i ne pressure reaches the accumul ator, the com-
bi nati on of spri ng pressure and l i ne pressure forces
the pi ston away from the accumul ator pl ate. Thi s
causes a bal anced pressure si tuati on, whi ch resul ts
i n a cushi oned band appl i cati on. After the ki ckdown
servo has become i mmovabl e, l i ne pressure wi l l fi n-
i sh pushi ng the accumul ator up i nto i ts bore. When
the l arge end of the accumul ator pi ston i s seated i n
i ts bore, the band or cl utch i s ful l y appl i ed.
NOTE: The accumulator is shown in the inverted
position for illustrative purposes.

GOVERNOR PRESSURE SENSOR
The governor pressure sensor measures output
pressure of the governor pressure sol enoi d val ve (Fi g.
77).
GOVERNOR BODY AND TRANSFER PLATE
The transfer pl ate i s desi gned to suppl y transmi s-
si on l i ne pressure to the governor pressure sol enoi d
val ve and to return governor pressure.
The governor pressure sol enoi d val ve i s mounted i n
the governor body. The body i s bol ted to the l ower
si de of the transfer pl ate (Fi g. 77).
GOVERNOR PRESSURE CURVES
There are four governor pressure curves pro-
grammed i nto the transmi ssi on control modul e. The
di fferent curves al l ow the control modul e to adjust
governor pressure for varyi ng condi ti ons. One curve
i s used for operati on when fl ui d temperature i s at, or
bel ow, 1C (30F). A second curve i s used when fl ui d
temperature i s at, or above, 10C (50F) duri ng nor-
mal ci ty or hi ghway dri vi ng. A thi rd curve i s used
duri ng wi de-open throttl e operati on. The fourth curve
i s used when dri vi ng wi th the transfer case i n l ow
range.
OPERATION
Compensati on i s requi red for performance vari a-
ti ons of two of the i nput devi ces. Though the sl ope of
the transfer functi ons i s ti ghtl y control l ed, offset may
vary due to vari ous envi ronmental factors or manu-
facturi ng tol erances.
The pressure transducer i s affected by barometri c
pressure as wel l as temperature. Cal i brati on of the
zero pressure offset i s requi red to compensate for
shi fti ng output due to these factors.
Normal cal i brati on wi l l be performed when sump
temperature i s above 50 degrees F, or i n the absence
of sump temperature data, after the fi rst 10 mi nutes
of vehi cl e operati on. Cal i brati on of the pressure
transducer offset occurs each ti me the output shaft
speed fal l s bel ow 200 RPM. Cal i brati on shal l be
repeated each 3 seconds the output shaft speed i s
bel ow 200 RPM. A 0.5 second pul se of 95% duty cycl e
i s appl i ed to the governor pressure sol enoi d val ve
and the transducer output i s read duri ng thi s pul se.
Averagi ng of the transducer si gnal i s necessary to
reject el ectri cal noi se.
Under col d condi ti ons (bel ow 50 degrees F sump),
the governor pressure sol enoi d val ve response may
be too sl ow to guarantee 0 psi duri ng the 0.5 second
cal i brati on pul se. Cal i brati on pul ses are conti nued
duri ng thi s peri od, however the transducer output
val ves are di scarded. Transducer offset must be read
at key-on, under condi ti ons whi ch promote a stabl e
readi ng. Thi s val ue i s retai ned and becomes the off-
set duri ng the col d peri od of operati on.
GOVERNOR PRESSURE SOLENOID VALVE
The i nl et si de of the sol enoi d val ve i s exposed to
normal transmi ssi on l i ne pressure. The outl et si de of
the val ve l eads to the val ve body governor ci rcui t.
The sol enoi d val ve regul ates l i ne pressure to pro-
duce governor pressure. The average current sup-
pl i ed to the sol enoi d control s governor pressure. One
amp current produces zero kPa/psi governor pres-
sure. Zero amps sets the maxi mum governor pres-
sure.
The powertrai n control modul e (PCM) turns on the
trans control rel ay whi ch suppl i es el ectri cal power to
the sol enoi d val ve. Operati ng vol tage i s 12 vol ts

GOVERNOR PRESSURE SENSOR
The sensor output si gnal provi des the necessary
feedback to the PCM. Thi s feedback i s needed to ade-
quatel y control governor pressure.
GOVERNOR BODY AND TRANSFER PLATE
The transfer pl ate channel s l i ne pressure to the
sol enoi d val ve through the governor body. I t al so
channel s governor pressure from the sol enoi d val ve

transmi ssi on shi ft at normal speeds and sooner. The
PCM uses a temperature sensor i n the transmi ssi on
oi l sump to determi ne when l ow temperature gover-

NORMAL OPERATION
Normal operati on i s refi ned through the i ncreased
computi ng power of the PCM and through access to

PCM that were not avai l abl e wi th the previ ous

devel opment of a l oad adapti ve shi ft strategy - the
abi l i ty to al ter the shi ft schedul e i n response to vehi -

transmi ssi on l ogi c to del ay an upshi ft on a grade i f
the engi ne does not have suffi ci ent power to mai n-

the potenti al for hunti ng between gears occurs wi th a
heavi l y l oaded vehi cl e or on steep grades. When
hunti ng occurs, i t i s very objecti onabl e because shi fts
are frequent and accompani ed by l arge changes i n

WIDE OPEN THROTTLE OPERATION
I n wi de-open throttl e (WOT) mode, adapti ve mem-
ory i n the PCM assures that up-shi fts occur at the
preprogrammed opti mum speed. WOT operati on i s
determi ned from the throttl e posi ti on sensor, whi ch
i s al so a part of the emi ssi on control system. The i ni -
ti al setti ng for the WOT upshi ft i s bel ow the opti -
mum engi ne speed. As WOT shi fts are repeated, the
PCM l earns the ti me requi red to compl ete the shi fts
by compari ng the engi ne speed when the shi fts occur
to the opti mum speed. After each shi ft, the PCM
adjusts the shi ft poi nt unti l the opti mum speed i s

FRONT CLUTCH
DESCRIPTION
The front cl utch assembl y (Fi g. 91) i s composed of
the front cl utch retai ner, pressure pl ate, cl utch
pl ates, dri vi ng di scs, pi ston, pi ston return spri ng,
return spri ng retai ner, and snap-ri ngs. The front
cl utch i s the forward-most component i n the trans-
mi ssi on geartrai n and i s di rectl y behi nd the oi l pump
and i s consi dered a dri vi ng component.
OPERATION
To appl y the cl utch, pressure i s appl i ed between
the cl utch retai ner and pi ston. The fl ui d pressure i s
provi ded by the oi l pump, transferred through the
control val ves and passageways, and enters the
cl utch through the hub of the reacti on shaft support.
Wi th pressure appl i ed between the cl utch retai ner
and pi ston, the pi ston moves away from the cl utch
retai ner and compresses the cl utch pack. Thi s acti on
appl i es the cl utch pack, al l owi ng torque to fl ow
through the i nput shaft i nto the dri vi ng di scs, and
i nto the cl utch pl ates and pressure pl ate that are
l ugged to the cl utch retai ner. The waved snap-ri ng i s
used to cushi on the appl i cati on of the cl utch pack.
When pressure i s rel eased from the pi ston, the
spri ng returns the pi ston to i ts ful l y rel eased posi ti on
and di sengages the cl utch. The rel ease spri ng al so
hel ps to cushi on the appl i cati on of the cl utch assem-
bl y. When the cl utch i s i n the process of bei ng
rel eased by the rel ease spri ng, fl ui d fl ows through a
vent and one-way bal l -check-val ve l ocated i n the
cl utch retai ner. The check-val ve i s needed to el i mi -
nate the possi bi l i ty of pl ate drag caused by centri fu-
gal force acti ng on the resi dual fl ui d trapped i n the
cl utch pi ston retai ner.
DISASSEMBLY

FRONT SERVO
DESCRIPTION
The ki ckdown servo (Fi g. 97) consi sts of a two-l and
pi ston wi th an i nner pi ston, a pi ston rod and gui de,
and a return spri ng. The dual -l and pi ston uses seal
ri ngs on i ts outer di ameters and an O-ri ng for the
i nner pi ston.
OPERATION
The appl i cati on of the pi ston i s accompl i shed by
appl yi ng pressure between the two l ands of the pi s-
ton. The pressure acts agai nst the l arger l ower l and
to push the pi ston downward, al l owi ng the pi ston rod
to extend though i ts gui de agai nst the appl y l ever.
Rel ease of the servo at the 2-3 upshi ft i s accom-
pl i shed by a combi nati on of spri ng and l i ne pressure,
acti ng on the bottom of the l arger l and of the pi ston.
The smal l pi ston i s used to cushi on the appl i cati on of
the band by bl eedi ng oi l through a smal l ori fi ce i n
the l arger pi ston. The rel ease ti mi ng of the ki ckdown
servo i s very i mportant to obtai n a smooth but fi rm
shi ft. The rel ease has to be very qui ck, just as the
front cl utch appl i cati on i s taki ng pl ace. Otherwi se,
engi ne runaway or a shi ft hesi tati on wi l l occur. To
accompl i sh thi s, the band retai ns i ts hol di ng capaci ty
unti l the front cl utch i s appl i ed, gi vi ng a smal l
amount of overl ap between them.

OIL PUMP
DESCRIPTION
The oi l pump (Fi g. 109) i s l ocated i n the pump
housi ng i nsi de the bel l housi ng of the transmi ssi on
case. The oi l pump consi sts of an i nner and outer
gear, a housi ng, and a reacti on shaft support.
OPERATION
As the torque converter rotates, the converter hub
rotates the i nner and outer gears. As the gears
rotate, the cl earance between the gear teeth
i ncreases i n the crescent area, and creates a sucti on
at the i nl et si de of the pump. Thi s sucti on draws
fl ui d through the pump i nl et from the oi l pan. As the
cl earance between the gear teeth i n the crescent area
decreases, i t forces pressuri zed fl ui d i nto the pump
outl et and to the val ve body.

OVERDRIVE CLUTCH
DESCRIPTION
The overdri ve cl utch (Fi g. 117) i s composed of the
pressure pl ate, cl utch pl ates, hol di ng di scs, overdri ve
pi ston retai ner, pi ston, pi ston spacer, and snap-ri ngs.
The overdri ve cl utch i s the forwardmost component
i n the transmi ssi on overdri ve uni t and i s consi dered
a hol di ng component. The overdri ve pi ston retai ner,
pi ston, and pi ston spacer are l ocated on the rear of
the mai n transmi ssi on case.
NOTE: The number of discs and plates may vary
with each engine and vehicle combination.
OPERATION
To appl y the cl utch, pressure i s appl i ed between
the pi ston retai ner and pi ston. The fl ui d pressure i s
provi ded by the oi l pump, transferred through the
control val ves and passageways, and enters the
cl utch through passages at the l ower rear porti on of
the val ve body area. Wi th pressure appl i ed between
the pi ston retai ner and pi ston, the pi ston moves
away from the pi ston retai ner and compresses the
cl utch pack. Thi s acti on appl i es the cl utch pack,
al l owi ng torque to fl ow through the i ntermedi ate
shaft i nto the overdri ve pl anetary gear set. The over-
dri ve cl utch di scs are attached to the overdri ve cl utch
hub whi l e the overdri ve cl utch pl ates, reacti on pl ate,
and pressure pl ate are l ugged to the overdri ve hous-
i ng. Thi s al l ows the i ntermedi ate shaft to transfer
the engi ne torque to the pl anetary gear and overrun-
ni ng cl utch. Thi s dri ves the pl anetary gear i nsi de the
annul us, whi ch i s attached to the overdri ve cl utch
drum and output shaft, creati ng the desi red gear

RETAINER
DESCRIPTION
The overrunni ng cl utch (Fi g. 178) consi sts of an
i nner race, an outer race (or cam), rol l ers and
spri ngs, and the spri ng retai ner. The number of rol l -
ers and spri ngs depends on what transmi ssi on and
whi ch overrunni ng cl utch i s bei ng deal t wi th.
OPERATION
As the i nner race i s rotated i n a cl ockwi se di recti on
(as vi ewed from the front of the transmi ssi on), the
race causes the rol l ers to rol l toward the spri ngs,
causi ng them to compress agai nst thei r retai ner. The
compressi on of the spri ngs i ncreases the cl earance
between the rol l ers and cam. Thi s i ncreased cl ear-
ance between the rol l ers and cam resul ts i n a free-
wheel i ng condi ti on. When the i nner race attempts to
rotate countercl ockwi se, the acti on causes the rol l ers
to rol l i n the same di recti on as the race, ai ded by the
pushi ng of the spri ngs. As the rol l ers try to move i n
the same di recti on as the i nner race, they are
wedged between the i nner and outer races due to the
desi gn of the cam. I n thi s condi ti on, the cl utch i s
l ocked and acts as one uni t.

PISTONS
DESCRIPTION
There are several si zes and types of pi stons used i n
an automati c transmi ssi on. Some pi stons are used to
appl y cl utches, whi l e others are used to appl y bands.
They al l have i n common the fact that they are
round or ci rcul ar i n shape, l ocated wi thi n a smooth
wal l ed cyl i nder, whi ch i s cl osed at one end and con-
verts fl ui d pressure i nto mechani cal movement. The
fl ui d pressure exerted on the pi ston i s contai ned
wi thi n the system through the use of pi ston ri ngs or
seal s.
OPERATION
The pri nci pal whi ch makes thi s operati on possi bl e
i s known as Pascal s Law. Pascal s Law can be stated
as: Pressure on a confi ned fl ui d i s transmi tted
equal l y i n al l di recti ons and acts wi th equal force on
equal areas.
PRESSURE
Pressure (Fi g. 188) i s nothi ng more than force
(l bs.) di vi ded by area (i n or ft.), or force per uni t
area. Gi ven a 100 l b. bl ock and an area of 100 sq. i n.
on the fl oor, the pressure exerted by the bl ock i s: 100
l bs. 100 i n or 1 pound per square i nch, or PSI as i t i s
commonl y referred to.

PRESSURE ON A CONFINED FLUID
Pressure i s exerted on a confi ned fl ui d (Fi g. 189)
by appl yi ng a force to some gi ven area i n contact
wi th the fl ui d. A good exampl e of thi s i s a cyl i nder
fi l l ed wi th fl ui d and equi pped wi th a pi ston that i s
cl osel y fi tted to the cyl i nder wal l . I f a force i s appl i ed
to the pi ston, pressure wi l l be devel oped i n the fl ui d.
Of course, no pressure wi l l be created i f the fl ui d i s
not confi ned. I t wi l l si mpl y l eak past the pi ston.
There must be a resi stance to fl ow i n order to create
pressure. Pi ston seal i ng i s extremel y i mportant i n
hydraul i c operati on. Several ki nds of seal s are used
to accompl i sh thi s wi thi n a transmi ssi on. These
i ncl ude but are not l i mi ted to O-ri ngs, D-ri ngs, l i p
seal s, seal i ng ri ngs, or extremel y cl ose tol erances
between the pi ston and the cyl i nder wal l . The force
exerted i s downward (gravi ty), however, the pri nci pl e
remai ns the same no matter whi ch di recti on i s taken.
The pressure created i n the fl ui d i s equal to the force
appl i ed, di vi ded by the pi ston area. I f the force i s 100
l bs., and the pi ston area i s 10 sq. i n., then the pres-
sure created equal s 10 PSI . Another i nterpretati on of
Pascal s Law i s that regardl ess of contai ner shape or
si ze, the pressure wi l l be mai ntai ned throughout, as
l ong as the fl ui d i s confi ned. I n other words, the
pressure i n the fl ui d i s the same everywhere wi thi n
the contai ner.
FORCE MULTIPLICATION
Usi ng the 10 PSI exampl e used i n the i l l ustrati on
(Fi g. 190), a force of 1000 l bs. can be moved wi th a
force of onl y 100 l bs. The secret of force mul ti pl i ca-
ti on i n hydraul i c systems i s the total fl ui d contact
area empl oyed. The i l l ustrati on, (Fi g. 190), shows an
area that i s ten ti mes l arger than the ori gi nal area.
The pressure created wi th the smal l er 100 l b. i nput
i s 10 PSI . The concept pressure i s the same every-
where means that the pressure underneath the
l arger pi ston i s al so 10 PSI . Pressure i s equal to the
force appl i ed di vi ded by the contact area. Therefore,
by means of si mpl e al gebra, the output force may be
found. Thi s concept i s extremel y i mportant, as i t i s
al so used i n the desi gn and operati on of al l shi ft
val ves and l i mi ti ng val ves i n the val ve body, as wel l
as the pi stons, of the transmi ssi on, whi ch acti vate
the cl utches and bands. I t i s nothi ng more than
usi ng a di fference of area to create a di fference i n
pressure to move an object.

The rel ati onshi p between hydraul i c l ever and a
mechani cal l ever i s the same. Wi th a mechani cal
l ever i ts a wei ght-to-di stance output rather than a
pressure-to-area output. Usi ng the same forces and
areas as i n the previ ous exampl e, the smal l er pi ston
(Fi g. 191) has to move ten ti mes the di stance
requi red to move the l arger pi ston one i nch. There-
fore, for every i nch the l arger pi ston moves, the
smal l er pi ston moves ten i nches. Thi s pri nci pl e i s
true i n other i nstances al so. A common garage fl oor
jack i s a good exampl e. To rai se a car wei ghi ng 2000
l bs., an effort of onl y 100 l bs. may be requi red. For
every i nch the car moves upward, the i nput pi ston at
the jack handl e must move 20 i nches downward.

DESCRIPTION
The pl anetary gearsets (Fi g. 192) are desi gnated as
the front, rear, and overdri ve pl anetary gear assem-
bl i es and l ocated i n such order. A si mpl e pl anetary
gearset consi sts of three mai n members:
The sun gear whi ch i s at the center of the sys-
tem.
The pl anet carri er wi th pl anet pi ni on gears
whi ch are free to rotate on thei r own shafts and are
i n mesh wi th the sun gear.
The annul us gear, whi ch rotates around and i s
i n mesh wi th the pl anet pi ni on gears.
NOTE: The number of pinion gears does not affect
the gear ratio, only the duty rating.
OPERATION
Wi th any gi ven pl anetary gearset, several condi -
ti ons must be met for power to be abl e to fl ow:
One member must be hel d.
Another member must be dri ven or used as an
i nput.
The thi rd member may be used as an output for
power fl ow.
For di rect dri ve to occur, two gear members i n
the front pl anetary gearset must be dri ven.
NOTE: Gear ratios are dependent on the number of
teeth on the annulus and sun gears.

OPERATION
To appl y the cl utch, pressure i s appl i ed between
the cl utch retai ner and pi ston. The fl ui d pressure i s
provi ded by the oi l pump, transferred through the
control val ves and passageways, and enters the
cl utch through the hub of the reacti on shaft support.
Wi th pressure appl i ed between the cl utch retai ner
and pi ston, the pi ston moves away from the cl utch
retai ner and compresses the cl utch pack. Thi s acti on
appl i es the cl utch pack, al l owi ng torque to fl ow

used to cushi on the appl i cati on of the cl utch pack.
The snap-ri ng i s sel ecti ve and used to adjust cl utch
pack cl earance.
When pressure i s rel eased from the pi ston, the
spri ng returns the pi ston to i ts ful l y rel eased posi ti on
and di sengages the cl utch. The rel ease spri ng al so
hel ps to cushi on the appl i cati on of the cl utch assem-

REAR SERVO
DESCRIPTION
The rear (l ow/reverse) servo consi sts of a si ngl e
stage or di ameter pi ston and a spri ng l oaded pl ug.
The spri ng i s used to cushi on the appl i cati on of the
rear (l ow/reverse) band.
OPERATION
Whi l e i n the de-energi zed state (no pressure
appl i ed), the pi ston i s hel d up i n i ts bore by the pi s-
ton spri ng. The pl ug i s hel d down i n i ts bore, i n the
pi ston, by the pl ug spri ng. When pressure i s appl i ed
to the top of the pi ston, the pl ug i s forced down i n i ts
bore, taki ng up any cl earance. As the pi ston moves, i t
causes the pl ug spri ng to compress, and the pi ston
moves down over the pl ug. The pi ston conti nues to
move down unti l i t hi ts the shoul der of the pl ug and
ful l y appl i es the band. The peri od of ti me from the
i ni ti al appl i cati on, unti l the pi ston i s agai nst the
shoul der of the pl ug, represents a reduced shocki ng
of the band that cushi ons the shi ft.

SOLENOID
DESCRIPTION
The typi cal el ectri cal sol enoi d used i n automoti ve
appl i cati ons i s a l i near actuator. I t i s a devi ce that
produces moti on i n a strai ght l i ne. Thi s strai ght l i ne
moti on can be ei ther forward or backward i n di rec-
ti on, and short or l ong di stance.
A sol enoi d i s an el ectromechani cal devi ce that uses
a magneti c force to perform work. I t consi sts of a coi l
of wi re, wrapped around a magneti c core made from
steel or i ron, and a spri ng l oaded, movabl e pl unger,
whi ch performs the work, or strai ght l i ne moti on.
The sol enoi ds used i n transmi ssi on appl i cati ons
are attached to val ves whi ch can be cl assi fi ed as nor-
mally open or normally closed. The normally
open sol enoi d val ve i s defi ned as a val ve whi ch
al l ows hydraul i c fl ow when no current or vol tage i s
appl i ed to the sol enoi d. The normally closed sol e-
noi d val ve i s defi ned as a val ve whi ch does not al l ow
hydraul i c fl ow when no current or vol tage i s appl i ed
to the sol enoi d. These val ves perform hydraul i c con-
trol functi ons for the transmi ssi on and must there-
fore be durabl e and tol erant of di rt parti cl es. For
these reasons, the val ves have hardened steel pop-
pets and bal l val ves. The sol enoi ds operate the val ves
di rectl y, whi ch means that the sol enoi ds must have
very hi gh outputs to cl ose the val ves agai nst the si z-
abl e fl ow areas and l i ne pressures found i n current
transmi ssi ons. Fast response ti me i s al so necessary
to ensure accurate control of the transmi ssi on.
The strength of the magneti c fi el d i s the pri mary
force that determi nes the speed of operati on i n a par-
ti cul ar sol enoi d desi gn. A stronger magneti c fi el d wi l l
cause the pl unger to move at a greater speed than a
weaker one. There are basi cal l y two ways to i ncrease
the force of the magneti c fi el d:
1. I ncrease the amount of current appl i ed to the
coi l or
2. I ncrease the number of turns of wi re i n the coi l .
The most common practi ce i s to i ncrease the num-
ber of turns by usi ng thi n wi re that can compl etel y
fi l l the avai l abl e space wi thi n the sol enoi d housi ng.
The strength of the spri ng and the l ength of the
pl unger al so contri bute to the response speed possi -
bl e by a parti cul ar sol enoi d desi gn.
A sol enoi d can al so be descri bed by the method by
whi ch i t i s control l ed. Some of the possi bi l i ti es
i ncl ude vari abl e force, pul se-wi dth modul ated, con-
stant ON, or duty cycl e. The vari abl e force and pul se-
wi dth modul ated versi ons uti l i ze si mi l ar methods to
control the current fl ow through the sol enoi d to posi -
ti on the sol enoi d pl unger at a desi red posi ti on some-
where between ful l ON and ful l OFF. The constant
ON and duty cycl ed versi ons control the vol tage
across the sol enoi d to al l ow ei ther ful l fl ow or no fl ow
through the sol enoi ds val ve.
OPERATION
When an el ectri cal current i s appl i ed to the sol e-
noi d coi l , a magneti c fi el d i s created whi ch produces
an attracti on to the pl unger, causi ng the pl unger to
move and work agai nst the spri ng pressure and the
l oad appl i ed by the fl ui d the val ve i s control l i ng. The
pl unger i s normal l y di rectl y attached to the val ve
whi ch i t i s to operate. When the current i s removed
from the coi l , the attracti on i s removed and the
pl unger wi l l return to i ts ori gi nal posi ti on due to
spri ng pressure.
The pl unger i s made of a conducti ve materi al and
accompl i shes thi s movement by provi di ng a path for
the magneti c fi el d to fl ow. By keepi ng the ai r gap
between the pl unger and the coi l to the mi ni mum
necessary to al l ow free movement of the pl unger, the
magneti c fi el d i s maxi mi zed.

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. cabl e (B) to the throttl e

The converter i mpel l er (Fi g. 233) (dri vi ng member),
whi ch i s i ntegral to the converter housi ng and bol ted
to the engi ne dri ve pl ate, rotates at engi ne speed.
The converter turbi ne (dri ven member), whi ch reacts
from fl ui d pressure generated by the i mpel l er, rotates
and turns the transmi ssi on i nput shaft.
TURBINE
As the fl ui d that was put i nto moti on by the i mpel -
l er bl ades stri kes the bl ades of the turbi ne, some of
the energy and rotati onal force i s transferred i nto the
turbi ne and the i nput shaft. Thi s causes both of them
(turbi ne and i nput shaft) to rotate i n a cl ockwi se

CHECK BALLS
CHECK BALL NUMBER DESCRIPTION
1 Allows either the manual valve to put line pressure on the 1-2 governor plug or
the KD Valve to put WOT line pressure on the 1-2 governor plug.
3 Allows either the Reverse circuit or the 3rd gear circuit to pressurize the front
clutch.
4 Allows either the Manual Low circuit from the Manual Valve or the Reverse
from the Manual Valve circuit to pressurize the rear servo.
5 Directs line pressure to the spring end of the 2-3 shift valve in either Manual
Low or Manual 2nd, forcing the downshift to 2nd gear regardless of governor
pressure.
6 Provides a by-pass around the front servo orifice so that the servo can release
quickly.
7 Provides a by-pass around the rear clutch orifice so that the clutch can release
quickly.
8 Directs reverse line pressure through an orifice to the throttle valve eliminating
the extra leakage and insuring that Reverse line pressure pressure will be
sufficient.
9 Provides a by-pass around the rear servo orifice so that the servo can release
quickly.
10 Allows the lockup clutch to used at WOT in 3rd gear by putting line pressure
from the 3-4 Timing Valve on the interlock area of the 2-3 shift valve, thereby
preventing a 3rd gear Lock-up to 2nd gear kickdown.

REGULATOR VALVE
The pressure regul ator val ve i s needed to control
the hydraul i c pressure wi thi n the system and reduce
the amount of heat produced i n the fl ui d. The pres-
sure regul ator val ve i s l ocated i n the val ve body near
the manual val ve. The pressure regul ator val ve trai n
control s the maxi mum pressure i n the l i nes by
meteri ng the dumpi ng of fl ui d back i nto the sump.
Regul ated pressure i s referred to as l i ne pressure.
The regul ator val ve (Fi g. 253) has a spri ng on one
end that pushes the val ve to the l eft. Thi s cl oses a
dump (vent) that i s used to l ower pressure. The cl os-
i ng of the dump wi l l cause the oi l pressure to
i ncrease. Oi l pressure on the opposi te end of the
val ve pushes the val ve to the ri ght, openi ng the
dump and l oweri ng oi l pressure. The resul t i s spri ng
pressure worki ng agai nst oi l pressure to mai ntai n
the oi l at speci fi c pressures. Wi th the engi ne run-
ni ng, fl ui d fl ows from the pump to the pressure reg-
ul ator val ve, manual val ve, and the i nterconnected
ci rcui ts. As fl ui d i s sent through passages to the reg-
ul ator val ve, the pressure pushes the val ve to the
ri ght agai nst the l arge spri ng. I t i s al so sent to the
reacti on areas on the l eft si de of the throttl e pressure
pl ug and the l i ne pressure pl ug. Wi th the gear sel ec-
tor i n the PARK posi ti on, fl ui d reci rcul ates through

between two ri ght si de l ands to the swi tch val ve and
torque converter. At l ow pump speeds, the fl ow i s
control l ed by the pressure val ve groove to reduce
pressure to the torque converter. After the torque
converter and swi tch val ve fi l l wi th fl ui d, the swi tch
val ve becomes the control l i ng meteri ng devi ce for
torque converter pressure. The regul ator val ve then
begi ns to control the l i ne pressure for the other
transmi ssi on ci rcui ts. The bal ance of the fl ui d pres-
sure pushi ng the val ve to the ri ght and the spri ng
pressure pushi ng to the l eft determi nes the si ze of
the meteri ng passage at l and #2 (l and #1 bei ng at
the far ri ght of the val ve i n the di agram). As fl ui d
l eaks past the l and, i t moves i nto a groove connected
to the fi l ter or sump. As the l and meters the fl ui d to
the sump, i t causes the pressure to reduce and the
spri ng decreases the si ze of the meteri ng passage.
When the si ze of the meteri ng passage i s reduced,
the pressure ri ses agai n and the si ze of the l and i s
i ncreased agai n. Pressure i s regul ated by thi s con-
stant bal ance of hydraul i c and spri ng pressure.

i ng to changes i n throttl e posi ti on and the

l ated l i ne pressure i n REVERSE (Fi g. 256) i s hel d at

ti ons: 145-280 psi . The hi gher pressure for

tl e pressure wi l l equal l i ne pressure. Wi th the ki ck-

i t wi l l go, fl ui d i ni ti al l y fl ows through the annul ar
groove of the 2-3 shi ft val ve (whi ch wi l l be i n the

pressure reacti ng on the area of l and #1 overcomes
governor pressure, downshi fti ng the 2-3 shi ft val ve

KICKDOWN LIMIT VALVE
The purpose of the l i mi t val ve i s to prevent a 3-2
downshi ft at hi gher speeds when a part-throttl e
downshi ft i s not desi rabl e. At these hi gher speeds
onl y a ful l throttl e 3-2 downshi ft wi l l occur. At l ow
road speeds (Fi g. 258) the l i mi t val ve does not come
i nto pl ay and does not affect the downshi fts. As the
vehi cl es speed i ncreases (Fi g. 259), the governor
pressure al so i ncreases. The i ncreased governor pres-
sure acts on the reacti on area of the bottom l and of
the l i mi t val ve overcomi ng the spri ng force tryi ng to
push the val ve toward the bottom of i ts bore. Thi s
pushes the val ve upward agai nst the spri ng and bot-
toms the val ve agai nst the top of the housi ng. Wi th
the val ve bottomed agai nst the housi ng, the throttl e
pressure suppl i ed to the val ve wi l l be cl osed off by
the bottom l and of the l i mi t val ve. When the suppl y
of throttl e pressure has been shut off, the 3-2 part

1-2 SHIFT VALVE
The 1-2 shi ft val ve assembl y (Fi g. 260), or mecha-
ni sm, consi sts of: the 1-2 shi ft val ve, governor pl ug,
and a spri ng on the end of the val ve. After the man-
ual val ve has been pl aced i nto a forward gear range,
l i ne pressure i s di rected to the 1-2 shi ft val ve. As the
throttl e i s depressed, throttl e pressure i s appl i ed to
the ri ght si de of the 1-2 shi ft val ve assembl y. Wi th
throttl e pressure appl i ed to the ri ght si de of the
val ve, there i s now both spri ng pressure and throttl e
pressure acti ng on the val ve, hol di ng i t agai nst the
governor pl ug. As the vehi cl e begi ns to move and
bui l d speed, governor pressure i s created and i s
appl i ed to the l eft of the val ve at the governor pl ug.
When governor pressure bui l ds to a poi nt where i t
can overcome the combi ned force of the spri ng and
throttl e pressure on the other si de of the val ve, the
val ve wi l l begi n to move over to the ri ght. As the
val ve moves to the ri ght, the mi ddl e l and of the val ve
wi l l cl ose off the ci rcui t suppl yi ng the throttl e pres-
sure to the ri ght si de of the val ve. When the throttl e

ther to the ri ght, al l owi ng l i ne pressure to enter
another ci rcui t and energi ze the front servo, appl yi ng

The governor pl ug serves a dual purpose:
I t al l ows the shi ft val ves to move ei ther l eft or

When i n a manual sel ecti on posi ti on, i t wi l l be

The physi cal bl ocki ng of the upshi ft whi l e i n the

pl eted i ts operati on and appl i ed the front band, l i ne

i s i n moti on and under accel erati on, there i s throttl e
pressure bei ng appl i ed to the spri ng si de of the val ve
and between l ands #3 and #4.
As vehi cl e speed i ncreases, governor pressure
i ncreases proporti onatel y, unti l i t becomes great
enough to overcome the combi ned throttl e and spri ng
pressure on the ri ght si de of the val ve. Si nce the
throttl e pressure end of the 2-3 shi ft val ve i s l arger
i n di ameter than the 1-2 shi ft val ve, the 2-3 shi ft wi l l
al ways happen at a greater speed than the 1-2 shi ft.
When thi s happens, the governor pl ug i s forced
agai nst the shi ft val ve movi ng i t to the ri ght. The
shi ft val ve causes l and #4 to cl ose the passage sup-
pl yi ng throttl e pressure to the 2-3 shi ft val ve. Wi th-
out throttl e pressure present i n the ci rcui t now, the
governor pl ug wi l l push the val ve over far enough to
bottom the val ve i n i ts bore. Thi s al l ows l and #2 to
di rect l i ne pressure to the front cl utch.
After the shi ft (Fi g. 264), l i ne pressure i s di rected
to the rel ease si de of the ki ckdown servo. Thi s
rel eases the front band and appl i es the front cl utch,
shi fti ng i nto thi rd gear or di rect dri ve. The rear
cl utch remai ns appl i ed, as i t has been i n the other

the 2-3 governor pl ug. Thi s l i ne pressure at the gov-
ernor pl ug l ocks the shi ft val ve i nto the second gear
posi ti on, preventi ng an upshi ft i nto di rect dri ve. The
theory for the bl ocki ng of the val ve i s the same as
that of the 1-2 shi ft val ve.
I f the manual 2 or manual 1 gear posi ti on i s

fi l l val ve does not bypass the regul ar cl utch feed ori -
fi ce throughout the 3-4 upshi ft. I nstead, once a pre-

THROTTLE VALVE
I n al l gear posi ti ons the throttl e val ve (Fi g. 267) i s
bei ng suppl i ed wi th l i ne pressure. The throttl e val ve
meters and reduces the l i ne pressure that now
becomes throttl e pressure. The throttl e val ve i s
moved by a spri ng and the ki ckdown val ve, whi ch i s
mechani cal l y connected to the throttl e. The l arger
the throttl e openi ng, the hi gher the throttl e pressure
(to a maxi mum of l i ne pressure). The smal l er the
throttl e openi ng, the l ower the throttl e pressure (to a
mi ni mum of zero at i dl e). As engi ne speed i ncreases,
the i ncrease i n pump speed i ncreases pump output.
The i ncrease i n pressure and vol ume must be regu-
l ated to mai ntai n the bal ance wi thi n the transmi s-
si on. To do thi s, throttl e pressure i s routed to the
reacti on area on the ri ght si de of the throttl e pres-
sure pl ug (i n the regul ator val ve).
The hi gher engi ne speed and l i ne pressure woul d
open the vent too far and reduce l i ne pressure too
much. Throttl e pressure, whi ch i ncreases wi th engi ne
speed (throttl e openi ng), i s used to oppose the move-
ment of the pressure val ve to hel p control the meter-
i ng passage at the vent. The throttl e pressure i s
combi ned wi th spri ng pressure to reduce the force of
the throttl e pressure pl ug on the pressure val ve. The
l arger spri ng at the ri ght cl oses the regul ator val ve
passage and mai ntai ns or i ncreases l i ne pressure.
The i ncreased l i ne pressure works agai nst the reac-
ti on area of the l i ne pressure pl ug and the reacti on
area l eft of l and #3 si mul taneousl y moves the regu-
l ator val ve trai n to the ri ght and control s the meter-

CLEANING
Cl ean the val ve housi ngs, val ves, pl ugs, spri ngs,
and separator pl ates wi th a standard parts cl eani ng
sol uti on onl y. Do not use gasol i ne, kerosene, or any
type of causti c sol uti on.
Do not i mmerse any of the el ectri cal components i n
cl eani ng sol uti on. Cl ean the governor sol enoi d and
sensor and the dual sol enoi d and harness assembl y
by wi pi ng them off wi th dry shop towel s onl y.
Dry al l except the el ectri cal parts wi th compressed
ai r. Make sure al l passages are cl ean and free from
obstructi ons. Do not use rags or shop towels to
dry or wipe off valve body components. Lint
from these materials can stick to valve body
parts, interfere with valve operation, and clog
filters and fluid passages.
Wi pe the governor pressure sensor and sol enoi d
val ve wi th dry, l i nt free shop towel s onl y. The O-ri ngs
on the sensor and sol enoi d val ve are the onl y servi ce-
abl e components. Be sure the vent ports i n the sol e-
noi d val ve are open and not bl ocked by di rt or debri s.
Repl ace the val ve and/or sensor onl y when DRB scan
tool di agnosi s i ndi cates thi s i s necessary. Or, i f ei ther
part has sustai ned physi cal damage (dented,
deformed, broken, etc.).
CAUTION: Do not turn the small screw at the end of
the solenoid valve for any reason. Turning the
screw in either direction will ruin solenoid calibra-
tion and result in solenoid failure. In addition, the
filter on the solenoid valve is NOT serviceable. Do
not try to remove the filter as this will damage the
valve housing.
INSPECTION
I nspect the throttl e and manual val ve l evers and
shafts. Do not attempt to strai ghten a bent shaft or
correct a l oose l ever. Repl ace these components i f
worn, bent, l oose or damaged i n any way.
I nspect al l of the val ve body mati ng surfaces for
scratches, ni cks, burrs, or di storti on. Use a strai ght-
edge to check surface fl atness. Mi nor scratches may
be removed wi th crocus cl oth usi ng onl y very l i ght
pressure.
Mi nor di storti on of a val ve body mati ng surface
may be corrected by smoothi ng the surface wi th a
sheet of crocus cl oth. Posi ti on the crocus cl oth on a
surface pl ate, sheet of pl ate gl ass or equal l y fl at sur-
face. I f di storti on i s severe or any surfaces are
heavi l y scored, the val ve body wi l l have to be
repl aced.
CAUTION: Many of the valves and plugs, such as
the throttle valve, shuttle valve plug, 1-2 shift valve
and 1-2 governor plug, are made of coated alumi-
num. Aluminum components are identified by the
dark color of the special coating applied to the sur-
face (or by testing with a magnet). Do not sand alu-
minum valves or plugs under any circumstances.
This practice could damage the special coating
causing the valves/plugs to stick and bind.
I nspect the val ves and pl ugs for scratches, burrs,
ni cks, or scores. Mi nor surface scratches on steel
val ves and pl ugs can be removed wi th crocus cl oth
but do not round off the edges of the valve or
plug lands.Mai ntai ni ng sharpness of these edges i s
vi tal l y i mportant. The edges prevent forei gn matter
from l odgi ng between the val ves and pl ugs and the
bore.
I nspect al l the val ve and pl ug bores i n the val ve
body. Use a penl i ght to vi ew the bore i nteri ors.
Repl ace the val ve body i f any bores are di storted or
scored. I nspect al l of the val ve body spri ngs. The
spri ngs must be free of di storti on, warpage or broken
coi l s.

ASSEMBLY
CAUTION: Do not force valves or plugs into place
during reassembly. If the valve body bores, valves
and plugs are free of distortion or burrs, the valve
body components should all slide into place easily.
In addition, do not overtighten the transfer plate
and valve body screws during reassembly. Over-
tightening can distort the housings resulting in
valve sticking, cross leakage and unsatisfactory
operation. Tighten valve body screws to recom-
mended torque only.

ADJUSTMENTS - VALVE BODY
CONTROL PRESSURE ADJUSTMENTS
There are two control pressure adjustments on the
val ve body;
Li ne Pressure
Throttl e Pressure
Li ne and throttl e pressures are i nterdependent
because each affects shi ft qual i ty and ti mi ng. As a
resul t, both adjustments must be performed properl y
and i n the correct sequence. Adjust l i ne pressure fi rst
and throttl e pressure l ast.
LINE PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT
Measure di stance from the val ve body to the i nner
edge of the adjusti ng screw wi th an accurate steel
scal e (Fi g. 329).
Di stance shoul d be 33.4 mm (1-5/16 i n.).
I f adjustment i s requi red, turn the adjusti ng screw
i n, or out, to obtai n requi red di stance setti ng.
NOTE: The 33.4 mm (1-5/16 in.) setting is an
approximate setting. Manufacturing tolerances may
make it necessary to vary from this dimension to
obtain desired pressure.
One compl ete turn of the adjusti ng screw changes
l i ne pressure approxi matel y 1-2/3 psi (9 kPa).
Turni ng the adjusti ng screw countercl ockwi se
i ncreases pressure whi l e turni ng the screw cl ockwi se
decreases pressure.
THROTTLE PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT

l ever cam and the ki ckdown val ve stem (Fi g. 330).
Push the gauge tool i nward to compress the ki ck-
down val ve agai nst the spri ng and bottom the throt-
tl e val ve.

Turn throttl e l ever stop screw unti l the screw head
touches throttl e l ever tang and the throttl e l ever cam
touches gauge tool .
NOTE: The kickdown valve spring must be fully
compressed and the kickdown valve completely
bottomed to obtain correct adjustment.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - HYDRAULIC
PRESSURE TEST
An accurate tachometer and pressure test gauges
are requi red. Test Gauge C-3293-SP has a 300 psi
range and i s used at al l l ocati ons where pressures
exceed 100 psi .
Pressure Test Port Locations
Onl y two pressure ports are suppl i ed on the trans-
mi ssi on case. The torque converter cl utch appl y and
rel ease ports are l ocated on the ri ght si de of the
transmi ssi on case (Fi g. 2).
To determi ne the l i ne pressure, there are two avai l -
abl e methods. The DRB scan tool can be used to
read l i ne pressure from the l i ne pressure sensor. The
second method i s to i nstal l Li ne Pressure Adapter
8259 (Fi g. 4) i nto the transmi ssi on case and then
i nstal l the pressure gauge and the ori gi nal sensor
i nto the adapter. Thi s wi l l al l ow a compari son of the
DRB readi ngs and the gauge readi ng to determi ne
the accuracy of the l i ne pressure sensor. The DRB
l i ne pressure readi ng shoul d match the gauge read-
i ng wi thi n 10 psi .
I n order to access any other pressure tap l ocati ons,
the transmi ssi on oi l pan must be removed, the pres-
sure port pl ugs removed and Val ve Body Pressure
Tap Adapter 8258-A (Fi g. 5) i nstal l ed. The extensi ons
suppl i ed wi th Adapter 8258-A wi l l al l ow the i nstal l a-
ti on of pressure gauges to the val ve body. Refer to
(Fi g. 3) for correct pressure tap l ocati on i denti fi ca-
ti on.
TEST PROCEDURE
Al l pressure readi ngs shoul d be taken wi th the
transmi ssi on fl ui d l evel ful l , transmi ssi on oi l at the
normal operati ng temperature, and the engi ne at
1500 rpm. Check the transmi ssi on for proper opera-
ti on i n each gear posi ti on that i s i n questi on or i f a
speci fi c el ement i s i n questi on, check the pressure
readi ngs i n at l east two gear posi ti ons that empl oy

NOTE: The 45RFE/545RFE utilizes closed loop con-
trol of pump line pressure. The pressure readings
may therefore vary greatly but should always follow
line pressure.
Some common pressures that can be measured to
eval uate pump and cl utch performance are the
upshi ft/downshi ft pressures, garage shi ft pressures,
and TCC pressure. The upshi ft/downshi ft pressure
for al l shi fts are shown i n UPSHI FT PRESSURES

garage shi ft pressure for the R-N shi ft i s 120 psi . The
garage shi ft pressure for the N-1 shi ft i s 135 psi for
3.7L/4.7L equi pped vehi cl es and 165 psi for 5.7L

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - CONVERTER
HOUSING FLUID LEAK
When di agnosi ng converter housi ng fl ui d l eaks,
two i tems must be establ i shed before repai r.
(1) Veri fy that a l eak condi ti on actual l y exi sts.
(2) Determi ned the true source of the l eak.
Some suspected converter housi ng fl ui d l eaks may
not be l eaks at al l . They may onl y be the resul t of
resi dual fl ui d i n the converter housi ng, or excess
fl ui d spi l l ed duri ng factory fi l l or fi l l after repai r.
Converter housi ng l eaks have several potenti al
sources. Through careful observati on, a l eak source
can be i denti fi ed before removi ng the transmi ssi on
for repai r. Torque converter seal l eaks tend to move
al ong the dri ve hub and onto the rear of the con-
verter. Pump cover seal tend to run down the cover
and the i nsi de surface of the bel l housi ng.
Some l eaks, or suspected l eaks, may be parti cu-
l arl y di ffi cul t to l ocate. I f necessary, a Mopar
approved dye may be used to l ocate a l eak.
TORQUE CONVERTER LEAK POINTS
Possi bl e sources of converter l eaks are:
(1) Leaks at the wel d joi nt around the outsi de
di ameter wel d (Fi g. 7).
(2) Leaks at the converter hub wel d (Fi g. 7).

CLEANING
The use of crocus cl oth i s permi ssi bl e where neces-
sary, provi di ng i t i s used careful l y. When used on shafts,
or val ves, use extreme care to avoi d roundi ng off sharp
edges. Sharp edges are vi tal as they prevent forei gn
matter from getti ng between the val ve and val ve bore.
Do not reuse oi l seal s, gaskets, seal ri ngs, or O-ri ngs
duri ng overhaul . Repl ace these parts as a matter of
course. Al so do not reuse snap ri ngs or E-cl i ps that are
bent or di storted. Repl ace these parts as wel l .
Lubri cate transmi ssi on parts wi th Mopar ATF +4,
Automati c Transmi ssi on Fl ui d, duri ng overhaul and
assembl y. Use petrol eum jel l y, Mopar Door Ease, or
Ru-Gl yde to prel ubri cate seal s, O-ri ngs, and thrust
washers. Petrol eum jel l y can al so be used to hol d
parts i n pl ace duri ng reassembl y.
Cl ean the case i n a sol vent tank. Fl ush the case
bores and fl ui d passages thoroughl y wi th sol vent.
Dry the case and al l fl ui d passages wi th compressed
ai r. Be sure al l sol vent i s removed from the case and
that al l fl ui d passages are cl ear.
NOTE: Do not use shop towels or rags to dry the
case (or any other transmission component) unless
they are made from lint-free materials. Lint will stick
to case surfaces and transmission components and
circulate throughout the transmission after assem-
bly. A sufficient quantity of lint can block fluid pas-
sages and interfere with valve body operation.
INSPECTION
I nspect the case for cracks, porous spots, worn
bores, or damaged threads. Damaged threads can be
repai red wi th Hel i coi l thread i nserts. However, the
case wi l l have to be repl aced i f i t exhi bi ts any type of
damage or wear.

STANDARD PROCEDURE
STANDARD PROCEDURE - FLUID LEVEL
CHECK
Low fl ui d l evel can cause a vari ety of condi ti ons
because i t al l ows the pump to take i n ai r al ong wi th

INPUT SPEED SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
The I nput and Output Speed Sensors are two-wi re
magneti c pi ckup devi ces that generate AC si gnal s as
rotati on occurs. They are mounted i n the l eft si de of
the transmi ssi on case and are consi dered pri mary
i nputs to the Transmi ssi on Control Modul e (TCM).
OPERATION
The I nput Speed Sensor provi des i nformati on on
how fast the i nput shaft i s rotati ng. As the teeth of
the i nput cl utch hub pass by the sensor coi l , an AC
vol tage i s generated and sent to the TCM. The TCM
i nterprets thi s i nformati on as i nput shaft rpm.
The Output Speed Sensor generates an AC si gnal
i n a si mi l ar fashi on, though i ts coi l i s exci ted by rota-
ti on of the rear pl anetary carri er l ugs. The TCM
i nterprets thi s i nformati on as output shaft rpm.
The TCM compares the i nput and output speed

OIL PUMP
DESCRIPTION
The oi l pump (Fi g. 96) i s l ocated at the front of the
transmi ssi on i nsi de the bel l housi ng and behi nd the
transmi ssi on front cover. The oi l pump consi sts of
two i ndependent pumps (Fi g. 97), a number of val ves
(Fi g. 98), a front seal (Fi g. 99), and a bol t on reacti on
shaft. The converter cl utch swi tch and regul ator
val ves, pressure regul ator val ve, and converter pres-
sure l i mi t val ve are al l l ocated i n the oi l pump val ve
body.
OPERATION
As the torque converter rotates, the converter hub
rotates the oi l pump dri ve gear. As the dri ve gear
rotates both dri ven gears, a vacuum i s created when
the gear teeth come out of mesh. Thi s sucti on draws
fl ui d through the pump i nl et from the oi l pan. As the
gear teeth come back i nto mesh, pressuri zed fl ui d i s
forced i nto the pump outl et and to the oi l pump
val ves.
At l ow speeds, both si des of the pump suppl y fl ui d
to the transmi ssi on. As the speed of the torque con-
verter i ncreases, the fl ow from both si des i ncreases
unti l the fl ow from the pri mary si de al one i s suffi -
ci ent to meet system demands. At thi s poi nt, the
check val ve l ocated between the two pumps cl oses.
The secondary si de i s shut down and the pri mary
si de suppl i es al l the fl ui d to the transmi ssi on.
CONVERTER CLUTCH SWITCH VALVE
The converter cl utch swi tch val ve i s used to control
the hydraul i c pressure suppl i ed to the front (OFF)

PISTONS
DESCRIPTION
There are several si zes and types of pi stons used i n
an automati c transmi ssi on. Some pi stons are used to
appl y cl utches, whi l e others are used to appl y bands.
They al l have i n common the fact that they are
round or ci rcul ar i n shape, l ocated wi thi n a smooth
wal l ed cyl i nder, whi ch i s cl osed at one end and con-
verts fl ui d pressure i nto mechani cal movement. The
fl ui d pressure exerted on the pi ston i s contai ned
wi thi n the system through the use of pi ston ri ngs or
seal s.
OPERATION
The pri nci pal whi ch makes thi s operati on possi bl e
i s known as Pascal s Law. Pascal s Law can be stated
as: Pressure on a confi ned fl ui d i s transmi tted
equal l y i n al l di recti ons and acts wi th equal force on
equal areas.
PRESSURE
Pressure (Fi g. 110) i s nothi ng more than force (l bs.)
di vi ded by area (i n or ft.), or force per uni t area.
Gi ven a 100 l b. bl ock and an area of 100 sq. i n. on
the fl oor, the pressure exerted by the bl ock i s: 100
l bs. 100 i n or 1 pound per square i nch, or PSI as i t i s
commonl y referred to.

Pressure i s exerted on a confi ned fl ui d (Fi g. 111) by
appl yi ng a force to some gi ven area i n contact wi th
the fl ui d. A good exampl e of thi s i s a cyl i nder fi l l ed
wi th fl ui d and equi pped wi th a pi ston that i s cl osel y
fi tted to the cyl i nder wal l . I f a force i s appl i ed to the
pi ston, pressure wi l l be devel oped i n the fl ui d. Of
course, no pressure wi l l be created i f the fl ui d i s not
confi ned. I t wi l l si mpl y l eak past the pi ston. There
must be a resi stance to fl ow i n order to create pres-
sure. Pi ston seal i ng i s extremel y i mportant i n
hydraul i c operati on. Several ki nds of seal s are used
to accompl i sh thi s wi thi n a transmi ssi on. These
i ncl ude but are not l i mi ted to O-ri ngs, D-ri ngs, l i p
seal s, seal i ng ri ngs, or extremel y cl ose tol erances
between the pi ston and the cyl i nder wal l . The force
exerted i s downward (gravi ty), however, the pri nci pl e
remai ns the same no matter whi ch di recti on i s taken.
The pressure created i n the fl ui d i s equal to the force
appl i ed, di vi ded by the pi ston area. I f the force i s 100
l bs., and the pi ston area i s 10 sq. i n., then the pres-
sure created equal s 10 PSI . Another i nterpretati on of
Pascal s Law i s that regardl ess of contai ner shape or
si ze, the pressure wi l l be mai ntai ned throughout, as
l ong as the fl ui d i s confi ned. I n other words, the
pressure i n the fl ui d i s the same everywhere wi thi n
the contai ner.
FORCE MULTIPLICATION
Usi ng the 10 PSI exampl e used i n the i l l ustrati on
(Fi g. 112), a force of 1000 l bs. can be moved wi th a
force of onl y 100 l bs. The secret of force mul ti pl i ca-
ti on i n hydraul i c systems i s the total fl ui d contact
area empl oyed. The i l l ustrati on, (Fi g. 112), shows an
area that i s ten ti mes l arger than the ori gi nal area.
The pressure created wi th the smal l er 100 l b. i nput
i s 10 PSI . The concept pressure i s the same every-
where means that the pressure underneath the
l arger pi ston i s al so 10 PSI . Pressure i s equal to the
force appl i ed di vi ded by the contact area. Therefore,
by means of si mpl e al gebra, the output force may be
found. Thi s concept i s extremel y i mportant, as i t i s
al so used i n the desi gn and operati on of al l shi ft
val ves and l i mi ti ng val ves i n the val ve body, as wel l
as the pi stons, of the transmi ssi on, whi ch acti vate

pressure to move an object.

The rel ati onshi p between hydraul i c l ever and a
mechani cal l ever i s the same. Wi th a mechani cal l ever
i ts a wei ght-to-di stance output rather than a pressure-to-
area output. Usi ng the same forces and areas as i n the
previ ous exampl e, the smal l er pi ston (Fi g. 113) has to
move ten ti mes the di stance requi red to move the l arger
pi ston one i nch. Therefore, for every i nch the l arger pi s-
ton moves, the smal l er pi ston moves ten i nches. Thi s
pri nci pl e i s true i n other i nstances al so. A common
garage fl oor jack i s a good exampl e. To rai se a car wei gh-
i ng 2000 l bs., an effort of onl y 100 l bs. may be requi red.
For every i nch the car moves upward, the i nput pi ston at

SOLENOID SWITCH VALVE
DESCRIPTION
The Sol enoi d Swi tch Val ve (SSV) i s l ocated i n the
val ve body and control s the di recti on of the transmi s-
si on fl ui d when the L/R-TCC sol enoi d i s energi zed.
OPERATION
The Sol enoi d Swi tch Val ve control s l i ne pressure
from the LR-TCC sol enoi d. I n 1st gear, the SSV wi l l
be i n the downshi fted posi ti on, thus di recti ng fl ui d to

When shi fti ng i nto 1st gear, a speci al hydraul i c
sequence i s performed to ensure SSV movement i nto
the downshi fted posi ti on. The L/R pressure swi tch i s
moni tored to confi rm SSV movement. I f the move-

get i nto 1st gear i n one gi ven key start.
SOLENOIDS
DESCRIPTION
The typi cal el ectri cal sol enoi d used i n automoti ve
appl i cati ons i s a l i near actuator. I t i s a devi ce that
produces moti on i n a strai ght l i ne. Thi s strai ght l i ne
moti on can be ei ther forward or backward i n di rec-
ti on, and short or l ong di stance.
A sol enoi d i s an el ectromechani cal devi ce that uses
a magneti c force to perform work. I t consi sts of a coi l
of wi re, wrapped around a magneti c core made from
steel or i ron, and a spri ng l oaded, movabl e pl unger,
whi ch performs the work, or strai ght l i ne moti on.
The sol enoi ds used i n transmi ssi on appl i cati ons
are attached to val ves whi ch can be cl assi fi ed as nor-
mally open or normally closed. The normally
open sol enoi d val ve i s defi ned as a val ve whi ch
al l ows hydraul i c fl ow when no current or vol tage i s
appl i ed to the sol enoi d. The normally closed sol e-
noi d val ve i s defi ned as a val ve whi ch does not al l ow
hydraul i c fl ow when no current or vol tage i s appl i ed
to the sol enoi d. These val ves perform hydraul i c con-
trol functi ons for the transmi ssi on and must there-
fore be durabl e and tol erant of di rt parti cl es. For
these reasons, the val ves have hardened steel pop-
pets and bal l val ves. The sol enoi ds operate the val ves
di rectl y, whi ch means that the sol enoi ds must have
very hi gh outputs to cl ose the val ves agai nst the si z-
abl e fl ow areas and l i ne pressures found i n current
transmi ssi ons. Fast response ti me i s al so necessary
to ensure accurate control of the transmi ssi on.
The strength of the magneti c fi el d i s the pri mary
force that determi nes the speed of operati on i n a par-
ti cul ar sol enoi d desi gn. A stronger magneti c fi el d wi l l
cause the pl unger to move at a greater speed than a
weaker one. There are basi cal l y two ways to i ncrease
the force of the magneti c fi el d:
1. I ncrease the amount of current appl i ed to the
coi l or
2. I ncrease the number of turns of wi re i n the coi l .
The most common practi ce i s to i ncrease the num-
ber of turns by usi ng thi n wi re that can compl etel y
fi l l the avai l abl e space wi thi n the sol enoi d housi ng.
The strength of the spri ng and the l ength of the
pl unger al so contri bute to the response speed possi -
bl e by a parti cul ar sol enoi d desi gn.
21 - 398 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - 45RFE/545RFE DR
A sol enoi d can al so be descri bed by the method by
whi ch i t i s control l ed. Some of the possi bi l i ti es
i ncl ude vari abl e force, pul se-wi dth modul ated, con-
stant ON, or duty cycl e. The vari abl e force and pul se-
wi dth modul ated versi ons uti l i ze si mi l ar methods to
control the current fl ow through the sol enoi d to posi -
ti on the sol enoi d pl unger at a desi red posi ti on some-
where between ful l ON and ful l OFF. The constant
ON and duty cycl ed versi ons control the vol tage
across the sol enoi d to al l ow ei ther ful l fl ow or no fl ow
through the sol enoi ds val ve.
OPERATION
When an el ectri cal current i s appl i ed to the sol e-
noi d coi l , a magneti c fi el d i s created whi ch produces
an attracti on to the pl unger, causi ng the pl unger to
move and work agai nst the spri ng pressure and the
l oad appl i ed by the fl ui d the val ve i s control l i ng. The
pl unger i s normal l y di rectl y attached to the val ve
whi ch i t i s to operate. When the current i s removed
from the coi l , the attracti on i s removed and the
pl unger wi l l return to i ts ori gi nal posi ti on due to
spri ng pressure.
The pl unger i s made of a conducti ve materi al and
accompl i shes thi s movement by provi di ng a path for
the magneti c fi el d to fl ow. By keepi ng the ai r gap
between the pl unger and the coi l to the mi ni mum
necessary to al l ow free movement of the pl unger, the
magneti c fi el d i s maxi mi zed.
TORQUE CONVERTER
DESCRIPTION
The torque converter (Fi g. 117) i s a hydraul i c
devi ce that coupl es the engi ne crankshaft to the
transmi ssi on. The torque converter consi sts of an
outer shel l wi th an i nternal turbi ne, a stator, an
overrunni ng cl utch, an i mpel l er and an el ectroni cal l y
appl i ed converter cl utch. The converter cl utch pro-
vi des reduced engi ne speed and greater fuel economy
when engaged. Cl utch engagement al so provi des
reduced transmi ssi on fl ui d temperatures. The torque
converter hub dri ves the transmi ssi on oi l (fl ui d)
pump and contai ns an o-ri ng seal to better control oi l
fl ow.
The torque converter i s a seal ed, wel ded uni t that
i s not repai rabl e and i s servi ced as an assembl y.
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 contai ns an over-runni ng cl utch, whi ch
al l ows the stator to rotate onl y i n a cl ockwi se di rec-

TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH (TCC)
The TCC (Fi g. 122) was i nstal l ed to i mprove the
effi ci ency of the torque converter that i s l ost to the
sl i ppage of the fl ui d coupl i ng. Al though the fl ui d cou-
pl i ng provi des smooth, shock-free power transfer, i t i s
natural for al l fl ui d coupl i ngs to sl i p. I f the i mpel l er
and turbi ne were mechani cal l y l ocked together, a
zero sl i ppage condi ti on coul d be obtai ned. A hydraul i c
pi ston wi th fri cti on materi al was added to the tur-
bi ne assembl y to provi de thi s mechani cal l ock-up.
I n order to reduce heat bui l d-up i n the transmi s-

OPERATION
The converter i mpel l er (Fi g. 123) (dri vi ng member),
whi ch i s i ntegral to the converter housi ng and bol ted
to the engi ne dri ve pl ate, rotates at engi ne speed.
The converter turbi ne (dri ven member), whi ch reacts
from fl ui d pressure generated by the i mpel l er, rotates
and turns the transmi ssi on i nput shaft.
TURBINE
As the fl ui d that was put i nto moti on by the i mpel -
l er bl ades stri kes the bl ades of the turbi ne, some of
the energy and rotati onal force i s transferred i nto the
turbi ne and the i nput shaft. Thi s causes both of them
(turbi ne and i nput shaft) to rotate i n a cl ockwi se
di recti on fol l owi ng the i mpel l er. As the fl ui d i s l eav-
i ng the trai l i ng edges of the turbi nes bl ades i t con-
ti nues i n a hi nderi ng di recti on back toward the
i mpel l er. I f the fl ui d i s not redi rected before i t stri kes
the i mpel l er, i t wi l l stri ke the i mpel l er i n such a
di recti on that i t woul d tend to sl ow i t down.
STATOR
Torque mul ti pl i cati on i s achi eved by l ocki ng the
stators over-runni ng cl utch to i ts shaft (Fi g. 124).
Under stal l condi ti ons (the turbi ne i s stati onary), the
oi l l eavi ng the turbi ne bl ades stri kes the face of the
stator bl ades and tri es to rotate them i n a counter-
cl ockwi se di recti on. When thi s happens the over-run-
ni ng cl utch of the stator l ocks and hol ds the stator
from rotati ng. Wi th the stator l ocked, the oi l stri kes
the stator bl ades and i s redi rected i nto a hel pi ng
di recti on before i t enters the i mpel l er. Thi s ci rcul a-
ti on of oi l from i mpel l er to turbi ne, turbi ne to stator,
and stator to i mpel l er, can produce a maxi mum
torque mul ti pl i cati on of about 2.4:1. As the turbi ne
begi ns to match the speed of the i mpel l er, the fl ui d
that was hi tti ng the stator i n such as way as to
cause i t to l ock-up i s no l onger doi ng so. I n thi s con-
di ti on of operati on, the stator begi ns to free wheel
and the converter acts as a fl ui d coupl i ng.
TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH (TCC)
I n a standard torque converter, the i mpel l er and
turbi ne are rotati ng at about the same speed and the
stator i s freewheel i ng, provi di ng no torque mul ti pl i -
cati on. By appl yi ng the turbi nes pi ston and fri cti on
materi al to the front cover, a total converter engage-
ment can be obtai ned. The resul t of thi s engagement
i s a di rect 1:1 mechani cal l i nk between the engi ne
and the transmi ssi on.

Suppl y +12 V to the backup l amps i n Reverse onl y.
The TRS al so has an i ntegrated temperature sen-
sor (thermi stor) that communi cates transmi ssi on
temperature to the TCM and PCM.
OPERATION
The Transmi ssi on Range Sensor (TRS) communi -
cates shi ft l ever posi ti on to the TCM as a combi na-
ti on of open and cl osed swi tches. Each shi ft l ever
posi ti on has an assi gned combi nati on of swi tch states
(open/cl osed) that the TCM recei ves from four sense

Sol enoi ds are used to control the L/R, 2C, 4C, OD,
and UD fri cti on el ements. The reverse cl utch i s con-
trol l ed by l i ne pressure and the posi ti on of the man-
ual val ve i n the val ve body. Al l the sol enoi ds are
contai ned wi thi n the Sol enoi d and Pressure Swi tch
Assembl y. The sol enoi d and pressure swi tch assembl y
contai ns one addi ti onal sol enoi d, Mul ti -Sel ect (MS),
whi ch serves pri mari l y to provi de 2nd and 3rd gear
l i mp-i n operati on.
The sol enoi ds recei ve el ectri cal power from the
Transmi ssi on Control Rel ay through a si ngl e wi re.
The TCM energi zes or operates the sol enoi ds i ndi vi d-
ual l y by groundi ng the return wi re of the sol enoi d as
necessary. When a sol enoi d i s energi zed, the sol enoi d
val ve shi fts, and a fl ui d passage i s opened or cl osed
(vented or appl i ed), dependi ng on i ts defaul t operat-
i ng state. The resul t i s an appl y or rel ease of a fri c-
ti onal el ement.
The MS and UD sol enoi ds are normal l y appl i ed to
al l ow transmi ssi on l i mp-i n i n the event of an el ectri -
cal fai l ure.
The conti nui ty of the sol enoi ds and ci rcui ts are
peri odi cal l y tested. Each sol enoi d i s turned on or off
dependi ng on i ts current state. An i nducti ve spi ke
shoul d be detected by the TCM duri ng thi s test. I f no
spi ke i s detected, the ci rcui t i s tested agai n to veri fy
the fai l ure. I n addi ti on to the peri odi c testi ng, the
sol enoi d ci rcui ts are tested i f a speed rati o or pres-
sure swi tch error occurs.

SHIFTING
The transfer case can be shi fted between the 2H
and 4H operati ng ranges whi l e the vehi cl e i s i n
moti on. The vehi cl e must have the transmi ssi on
pl aced i n NEUTRAL, or the cl utch depressed i n the
case of a manual transmi ssi on, and be movi ng l ess
than 2-3 MPH when shi fti ng i nto and out of the 4L
operati ng range.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - TRANSFER CASE -
NV241 GENII
Before begi nni ng repai r on a suspected transfer
case mal functi on, check al l other dri vel i ne compo-
nents beforehand.
The actual cause of a probl em may be rel ated to
such i tems as: front hubs, axl es, propel l er shafts,
wheel s and ti res, transmi ssi on, or cl utch i nstead. I f
al l other dri vel i ne components are i n good condi ti on
and operati ng properl y, refer to the Di agnosi s Chart
for further i nformati on.
DIAGNOSIS CHART
Condition Possible Cause Correction
Transfer Case difficult to shift or will
not shift into desired range.
1) Vehicle speed too great to permit
shifting.
1) Stop vehicle and shift into
desired range. Or, reduce speed to
below 3-4 km/h (2-3 mph) before
attempting the shift.
2) If vehicle was operated for an
extended period in 4H on a dry
paved surface, the driveline torque
load may be causing a bind.
2) Stop vehicle and shift the
transmission into neutral. Shift the
transfer case to 2H and operate
vehicle in 2H on dry paved
surfaces.
3) Transfer case external shift
linkage binding.
3) Lubricate, repair, or replace
linkage bushings, or tighten loose
components as necessary.
4) Insufficient or incorrect lubricant. 4) Drain and refill to edge of fill hole
with Mopar ATF +4, Automatic
Transmission fluid.
5) Internal components binding,
worn, or damaged.
5) Disassemble the transfer case
and replace worn or damaged
components as necessary.
Transfer Case noisy in all operating
ranges.
1) Insufficient or incorrect lubricant. 1) Drain and refill to edge of fill hole
with Mopar ATF +4, Automatic
Transmission fluid.

Condition Possible Cause Correction
Noisy in, or jumps out of, four wheel
drive low range.
1) Transfer case not completely
engaged in 4L position.
1) With the transmission in
NEUTRAL, or the clutch depressed
in the case of a manual
transmission and the vehicle moving
under 3-4 km/h (2-3 mph), shift the
transfer case to NEUTRAL and then
shift into the 4L position.
2) Shift linkage out of adjustment. 2) Adjust linkage.
3) Shift linkage loose or binding. 3) Tighten, lubricate, or repair
linkage as necessary.
4) Range fork damaged, inserts
worn, or fork is binding on the shift
rail.
4) Disassemble unit and repair as
necessary.
5) Low range gear worn or
damaged.
5) Disassemble unit and repair as
necessary.
Lubricant leaking from output shaft
seal or vent.
1) Transfer case overfilled. 1) Drain lubricant to the correct
level.
2) Vent closed or restricted. 2) Clear or replace vent as
necessary.
3) Output shaft seals damaged or
installed incorrectly.
3) Replace seal as necessary.
Check to ensure that another
component, the propeller shaft slip
yoke for example, is not causing
damage to seal.
Abnormal tire wear. 1) Extended operation on hard, dry
surfaces in the 4H position.
1) Operate vehicle in the 2H
position on hard, dry surfaces.

case mal functi on, check al l other dri vel i ne compo-
nents beforehand.
The actual cause of a probl em may be rel ated to
such i tems as: front hubs, axl es, propel l er shafts,
wheel s and ti res, transmi ssi on, or cl utch i nstead. I f

DIAGNOSIS CHART
Condition Possible Cause Correction
Transfer Case difficult to shift or will not
shift into desired range.
1) Vehicle speed too great to permit
shifting.
1) Stop vehicle and shift into desired
range. Or, reduce speed to below 3-4
km/h (2-3 mph) before attempting the
shift.
2) If vehicle was operated for an
extended period in 4H on a dry paved
surface, the driveline torque load may
be causing a bind.
2) Stop vehicle and shift the
transmission into neutral. Shift the
transfer case to 2H and operate vehicle
in 2H on dry paved surfaces.
3) Transfer case external shift linkage
binding.
3) Lubricate, repair, or replace linkage
bushings, or tighten loose components
as necessary.
4) Insufficient or incorrect lubricant. 4) Drain and refill to edge of fill hole
with Mopar ATF +4, Automatic
Transmission fluid.
5) Internal components binding, worn,
or damaged.
5) Disassemble the transfer case and
replace worn or damaged components
as necessary.
Transfer Case noisy in all operating
ranges.
1) Insufficient or incorrect lubricant. 1) Drain and refill to edge of fill hole
with Mopar ATF +4, Automatic
Transmission fluid.
Noisy in, or jumps out of, four wheel
drive low range.
1) Transfer case not completely
engaged in 4L position.
1) With the transmission in NEUTRAL,
or the clutch depressed in the case of a
manual transmission and the vehicle
moving under 3-4 km/h (2-3 mph), shift
the transfer case to NEUTRAL and then
shift into the 4L position.
2) Shift linkage out of adjustment. 2) Adjust linkage.
3) Shift linkage loose or binding. 3) Tighten, lubricate, or repair linkage as
necessary.
4) Range fork damaged, inserts worn,
or fork is binding on the shift rail.
4) Disassemble unit and repair as
necessary.
5) Low range gear worn or damaged. 5) Disassemble unit and repair as
necessary.
Lubricant leaking from output shaft seal
or vent.
1) Transfer case overfilled. 1) Drain lubricant to the correct level.
2) Vent closed or restricted. 2) Clear or replace vent as necessary.
3) Output shaft seals damaged or
installed incorrectly.
3) Replace seal as necessary. Check to
ensure that another component, the
propeller shaft slip yoke for example, is
not causing damage to seal.
Abnormal tire wear. 1) Extended operation on hard, dry
surfaces in the 4H position.
1) Operate vehicle in the 2H position on
hard, dry surfaces.

SHIFT MECHANISM
Operati ng ranges are sel ected wi th a dash
mounted shi ft sel ector swi tch. The shi ft sel ector
swi tch provi des a i nput to the Transfer Case Control
Modul e (TCCM) to i ndi cate the dri vers desi re to
change operati ng ranges. The TCCM uses thi s i nput,
al ong wi th i nput from the transfer case mounted
mode sensor and i nformati on from the vehi cl es bus,
to determi ne i f a shi ft i s permi tted. I f the TCCM
deci des the shi ft i s permi tted, the TCCM control s the
shi ft motor, mounted to the exteri or of the transfer
case, to perform the shi ft.

IDENTIFICATION
A ci rcul ar I D tag i s attached to the rear case of
each transfer case (Fi g. 1). The I D tag provi des the
transfer case model number, assembl y number, seri al
number, and l ow range rati o.
The transfer case seri al number al so represents
the date of bui l d.
OPERATION
The i nput gear i s spl i ned to the transmi ssi on out-
put shaft. The i nput gear dri ves the mai nshaft
through the pl anetary assembl y and range sl eeve.
The front output shaft i s operated by a dri ve chai n
that connects the shaft to a dri ve sprocket on the
mai nshaft. The dri ve sprocket i s engaged/di sengaged
by the mode fork, whi ch operates the mode sl eeve
and hub. The sl eeve and hub are not equi pped wi th a
synchroni zer mechani sm for shi fti ng.

MODE SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
The transfer case mode sensor (Fi g. 83) i s an el ec-
troni c devi ce whose output can be i nterpreted to i ndi -
cate the shi ft motor shafts rotary posi ti on. The
sensor consi sts of a magneti c ri ng and four Hal l
Effect Transi stors to create a 4 channel di gi tal devi ce
(non-contacti ng) whose output converts the motor
shaft posi ti on i nto a coded si gnal . The TCCM must
suppl y 5VDC (+/- 0.5v) to the sensor and moni tor the
shi ft motor posi ti on. The four channel s are denoted
A, B, C, and D. The sensor i s mechani cal l y l i nked to
the shaft of the cam whi ch causes the transfer case
shi fti ng. The mode sensor draws l ess than 53 mA.
OPERATION
Duri ng normal vehi cl e operati on, the Transfer Case
Control Modul e (TCCM) moni tors the mode sensor
outputs at l east every 250 (+/-50) mi l l i seconds when
the shi ft motor i s stati onary and 400 mi croseconds
when the shi ft motor i s acti ve. A mode sensor si gnal
between 3.8 Vol ts and 0.8 Vol ts i s consi dered to be
undefi ned.

SHIFT MOTOR
DESCRIPTION
The shi ft motor (Fi g. 85) consi sts of a permanent
magnet D.C. motor wi th gear reducti on to convert a
hi gh speed-l ow torque devi ce i nto a l ow speed-hi gh
torque devi ce. The output of the devi ce i s coupl ed to a
shaft whi ch i nternal l y moves the mode and range forks
that change the transfer case operati ng ranges. The
motor i s rated at 25 amps maxi mum at 72 F wi th 10

OPERATING RANGES
NV244 GENI I operati ng ranges are:
AWD(Al l -Wheel Dri ve)
4HI (Part-ti me)
4LO
NEUTRAL
The AWD mode can be used at any ti me and on
any road surface.
The 4HI (Part-ti me) and 4LO ranges are for off
road use onl y. The onl y ti me these ranges can be
used i s when the road surface i s covered wi th snow,
i ce, or other l oose sl i ppery materi al .
SHIFT MECHANISM
Operati ng ranges are sel ected wi th a dash
mounted shi ft sel ector swi tch. The shi ft sel ector
swi tch provi des a i nput to the Transfer Case Control
Modul e (TCCM) to i ndi cate the dri vers desi re to
change operati ng ranges. The TCCM uses thi s i nput,
al ong wi th the i nput from the transfer case mounted
mode sensor and i nformati on from the vehi cl es bus,
to determi ne i f a shi ft i s permi tted. I f the TCCM
deci des the shi ft i s permi tted, the TCCM control s the
shi ft motor, mounted to the exteri or of the transfer
case, to perform the shi ft.

IDENTIFICATION
A ci rcul ar I D tag i s attached to the rear case of
each transfer case (Fi g. 1). The I D tag provi des the
transfer case model number, assembl y number, seri al
number, and l ow range rati o.
The transfer case seri al number al so represents
the date of bui l d.
OPERATION
The i nput gear i s spl i ned to the transmi ssi on out-
put shaft. The i nput gear dri ves the mai nshaft
through the pl anetary assembl y and range sl eeve.
The front output shaft i s operated by a dri ve chai n
that connects the shaft to a dri ve sprocket on the
mai nshaft. The dri ve sprocket i s spl i ned to a di ffer-
enti al assembl y. Dependi ng on the posi ti on of the
mode fork and sl eeve, the front output shaft i s dri ven
di rectl y by the mai nshaft or through the di fferenti al .
The mode fork operates the mode sl eeve and hub.
The sl eeve and hub are not equi pped wi th a synchro-
ni zer mechani sm for shi fti ng.

The NV273 i s an el ectroni cal l y control l ed part-ti me
transfer case wi th a l ow range gear reducti on system.
The NV273 has three operati ng ranges pl us a NEU-
TRAL posi ti on. The l ow range system provi des a gear
reducti on rati o for i ncreased l ow speed torque capa-
bi l i ty.
The geartrai n i s mounted i n two al umi num case
hal ves attached wi th bol ts. The mai nshaft front and
rear beari ngs are mounted i n al umi num case hal ves.
OPERATING RANGES
Transfer case operati ng ranges are:
2WD (2-wheel dri ve)
4HI (4-wheel dri ve)
4LO (4-wheel dri ve l ow range)
NEUTRAL
The 2WD range i s for use on any road surface at
any ti me.
The 4HI and 4LO ranges are for off road use onl y.
They are not for use on hard surface roads. The onl y
excepti on bei ng when the road surface i s wet or sl i p-
pery or covered by i ce and snow.
The l ow range reducti on gear system i s operati ve
i n 4LO range onl y. Thi s range i s for extra pul l i ng
power i n off road si tuati ons. Low range reducti on
rati o i s 2.72:1.
SHIFT MECHANISM
Operati ng ranges are sel ected wi th a dash
mounted shi ft sel ector swi tch. The shi ft sel ector
swi tch provi des a i nput to the Transfer Case Control
Modul e (TCCM) to i ndi cate the dri vers desi re to
change operati ng ranges. The TCCM uses thi s i nput,
al ong wi th i nput from the transfer case mounted
mode sensor and i nformati on from the vehi cl es bus,
to determi ne i f a shi ft i s permi tted. I f the TCCM
deci des the shi ft i s permi tted, the TCCM control s the
shi ft motor, mounted to the exteri or of the transfer
case, to perform the shi ft.

IDENTIFICATION
A ci rcul ar I D tag i s attached to the rear case of
each transfer case (Fi g. 1). The I D tag provi des the
transfer case model number, assembl y number, seri al
number, and l ow range rati o.
The transfer case seri al number al so represents
the date of bui l d.
OPERATION
The i nput gear i s spl i ned to the transmi ssi on out-
put shaft. The i nput gear dri ves the mai nshaft
through the pl anetary assembl y and range sl eeve.
The front output shaft i s operated by a dri ve chai n
that connects the shaft to a dri ve sprocket on the
mai nshaft. The dri ve sprocket i s engaged/di sengaged
by the mode fork, whi ch operates the mode sl eeve
and hub. The sl eeve and hub are not equi pped wi th a
synchroni zer mechani sm for shi fti ng.

DESCRIPTION
The transfer case mode sensor (Fi g. 94) i s an el ec-
troni c devi ce whose output can be i nterpreted to i ndi -
cate the shi ft motor shafts rotary posi ti on. The
sensor consi sts of a magneti c ri ng and four Hal l
Effect Transi stors to create a 4 channel di gi tal devi ce
(non-contacti ng) whose output converts the motor
shaft posi ti on i nto a coded si gnal . The TCCM must
suppl y 5VDC (+/- 0.5v) to the sensor and moni tor the
shi ft motor posi ti on. The four channel s are denoted
A, B, C, and D. The sensor i s mechani cal l y l i nked to
the shaft of the cam whi ch causes the transfer case
shi fti ng. The mode sensor draws l ess than 53 mA.
OPERATION
Duri ng normal vehi cl e operati on, the Transfer Case
Control Modul e (TCCM) moni tors the mode sensor
outputs at l east every 250 (+/-50) mi l l i seconds when
the shi ft motor i s stati onary and 400 mi croseconds
when the shi ft motor i s acti ve. A mode sensor si gnal
between 3.8 Vol ts and 0.8 Vol ts i s consi dered to be
undefi ned.

SHIFT MOTOR
DESCRIPTION
The shi ft motor (Fi g. 96) consi sts of a permanent
magnet D.C. motor wi th gear reducti on to convert a
hi gh speed-l ow torque devi ce i nto a l ow speed-hi gh
torque devi ce. The output of the devi ce i s coupl ed to
a shaft whi ch i nternal l y moves the mode and range
forks that change the transfer case operati ng ranges.
The motor i s rated at 25 amps maxi mum at 72 F
wi th 10 vol ts at the motor l eads.
OPERATION
The transfer case shi ft motor responds to the
Transfer Case Control Modul e (TCCM) commands to
move the transfer case shi ft sector bi -di recti onal l y, as
requi red, to obtai n the transfer case operati ng mode
i ndi cated by the i nstrument panel mounted sel ector
swi tch.
REMOVAL
NOTE: New shift motor assemblies are shipped in
the 2WD/AWD position. If a new shift motor assem-
bly will be installed, it will be necessary to shift the

RUNOUT
Radi al runout i s the di fference between the hi gh
and l ow poi nts on the ti re or wheel (Fi g. 1).
Lateral runout i s the wobble of the ti re or wheel .
Radi al runout of more than 1.5 mm (.060 i nch)
measured at the center l i ne of the tread may cause
the vehi cl e to shake.
Lateral runout of more than 2.0 mm (.080 i nch)
measured near the shoul der of the ti re may cause the
vehi cl e to shake.
Someti mes radi al runout can be reduced. Rel ocate
the wheel and ti re assembl y on the mounti ng studs
(See Method 1). I f thi s does not reduce runout to an
acceptabl e l evel , the ti re can be rotated on the wheel .
(See Method 2).

STANDARD PROCEDURE
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TIRE ROTATION
Ti res on the front and rear axl es operate at di ffer-
ent l oads and perform di fferent steeri ng, dri vi ng, and
braki ng functi ons. For these reasons, the ti res wear
at unequal rates. They may al so devel op i rregul ar
wear patterns. These effects can be reduced by rotat-
i ng the ti res accordi ng to the mai ntenance schedul e
i n the Owners Manual . Thi s wi l l i mprove tread l i fe,
tracti on and mai ntai n a smooth qui et ri de.
The recommended method of ti re rotati on i s (Fi g.
4) & (Fi g. 5). Other methods can be used, but may
not provi de the same ti re l ongevi ty benefi ts.
CAUTION: 3500 Dual rear tires have a new tire rota-
tion pattern. This is to accommodate the asymmet-
rical design of the ON/OFF road tires and the use of
the outlined white letter (OWL) tires. When replac-
ing a flat, the spare tire may have to be remounted
on the rim or installed at a different location to
maintain the correct placement of the asymmetrical
design or the (OWL).
STANDARD PROCEDURE - MATCH MOUNTING
Wheel s and ti res are match mounted at the factory.
Thi s means that the hi gh spot of the ti re i s matched
to the l ow spot on the wheel ri m. Each are marked
wi th a bri ght col ored temporary l abel on the out-
board surface for al i gnment. The wheel i s al so
marked permanentl y on the i nsi de of the ri m i n the
ti re wel l . Thi s permanent mark may be a pai nt dot
or l i ne, a permanent l abel or a stamped i mpressi on
such as an X. An opti onal l ocati on mark i s a smal l
spheri cal i ndentati on on the verti cal face of the out-
board fl ange on some non styl ed base steel wheel s.
The ti re must be removed to l ocate the permanent
mark on the i nsi de of the wheel .
Before di smounti ng a ti re from i ts wheel , a refer-
ence mark shoul d be pl aced on the ti re at the val ve
stem l ocati on. Thi s reference wi l l ensure that i t i s
remounted i n the ori gi nal posi ti on on the wheel .
(1) Remove the ti re and wheel assembl y from the
vehi cl e and mount on a servi ce dynami c bal ance
machi ne.
(2) Measure the total runout on the center of the
ti re tread ri b wi th a di al i ndi cator. Record the i ndi -
cator readi ng. Mark the ti re to i ndi cate the hi gh spot.
Pl ace a mark on the ti re at the val ve stem l ocati on

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WATER LEAKS
Water l eaks can be caused by poor seal i ng,
i mproper body component al i gnment, body seam
porosi ty, mi ssi ng pl ugs, or bl ocked drai n hol es. Cen-
tri fugal and gravi tati onal force can cause water to
dri p from a l ocati on away from the actual l eak poi nt,
maki ng l eak detecti on di ffi cul t. Al l body seal i ng
poi nts shoul d be water ti ght i n normal wet-dri vi ng
condi ti ons. Water fl owi ng downward from the front of
the vehi cl e shoul d not enter the passenger or l uggage
compartment. Movi ng seal i ng surfaces wi l l not

ti mes, si de gl ass or door seal s wi l l al l ow water to
enter the passenger compartment duri ng hi gh pres-
sure washi ng or hard dri vi ng rai n (severe) condi -
ti ons. Overcompensati ng on door or gl ass
adjustments to stop a water l eak that occurs under
severe condi ti ons can cause premature seal wear and
excessi ve cl osi ng or l atchi ng effort. After compl eti ng
a repai r, water test vehi cl e to veri fy l eak has stopped
before returni ng vehi cl e to use.

Veri fy that fl oor and body pl ugs are i n pl ace, body
drai ns are cl ear, and body components are properl y
al i gned and seal ed. I f component al i gnment or seal -
i ng i s necessary, refer to the appropri ate secti on of
thi s group for proper procedures.
WATER LEAK TESTS
WARNING: DO NOT USE ELECTRIC SHOP LIGHTS
OR TOOLS IN WATER TEST AREA. PERSONAL
INJURY CAN RESULT.
When the condi ti ons causi ng a water l eak have
been determi ned, si mul ate the condi ti ons as cl osel y
as possi bl e.
I f a l eak occurs wi th the vehi cl e parked i n a

cl e. For hoi sti ng recommendati ons (Refer to LUBRI -
CATI ON & MAI NTENANCE/HOI STI NG -
STANDARD PROCEDURE).
WATER LEAK DETECTION
To detect a water l eak poi nt-of-entry, do a water
test and watch for water tracks or dropl ets formi ng
on the i nsi de of the vehi cl e. I f necessary, remove i nte-
ri or tri m covers or panel s to gai n vi sual access to the
l eak area. I f the hose cannot be posi ti oned wi thout
bei ng hel d, have someone hel p do the water test.
Some water l eaks must be tested for a consi derabl e
l ength of ti me to become apparent. When a l eak
appears, fi nd the hi ghest poi nt of the water track or
drop. The hi ghest poi nt usual l y wi l l show the poi nt of
entry. After l eak poi nt has been found, repai r the
l eak and water test to veri fy that the l eak has
stopped.
Locati ng the entry poi nt of water that i s l eaki ng
i nto a cavi ty between panel s can be di ffi cul t. The
trapped water may spl ash or run from the cavi ty,
often at a di stance from the entry poi nt. Most water
l eaks of thi s type become apparent after accel erati ng,
stoppi ng, turni ng, or when on an i ncl i ne.
MIRROR INSPECTION METHOD
When a l eak poi nt area i s vi sual l y obstructed, use
a sui tabl e mi rror to gai n vi sual access. A mi rror can
al so be used to defl ect l i ght to a l i mi ted-access area
to assi st i n l ocati ng a l eak poi nt.
BRIGHT LIGHT LEAK TEST METHOD
Some water l eaks i n the l uggage compartment can
be detected wi thout water testi ng. Posi ti on the vehi -
cl e i n a bri ghtl y l i t area. From i nsi de the darkened
l uggage compartment i nspect around seal s and body
seams. I f necessary, have a hel per di rect a drop l i ght
over the suspected l eak areas around the l uggage
compartment. I f l i ght i s vi si bl e through a normal l y
seal ed l ocati on, water coul d enter through the open-
i ng.
PRESSURIZED LEAK TEST METHOD
When a water l eak i nto the passenger compart-
ment cannot be detected by water testi ng, pressuri ze
the passenger compartment and soap test exteri or of
the vehi cl e. To pressuri ze the passenger compart-
ment, cl ose al l doors and wi ndows, start engi ne, and
set heater control to hi gh bl ower i n HEAT posi ti on. I f
engi ne can not be started, connect a charger to the
battery to ensure adequate vol tage to the bl ower.

PANEL SECTIONING
I f i t i s requi red to secti on a l arge panel for a pl as-
ti c repai r, i t wi l l be necessary to rei nforce the panel
(Fi g. 1). To bond two pl asti c panel s together, a rei n-
forcement must overl ap both panel s. The panel s
must be Vd at a 20 degree angl e. The area to be
rei nforced shoul d be washed, then sanded. Be sure to
wi pe off any excess soap and water when fi ni shed.
Li ghtl y sand or abrade the pl asti c wi th an abrasi ve
pad or sandpaper. Bl ow off any dust wi th compressed
ai r or wi pe wi th a cl ean dry rag.
When bondi ng pl asti c panel s, Fol l ow repai r mate-
ri al manufacturers recommendati ons. Be sure that
enough adhesi ve has been appl i ed to al l ow squeeze
out and to fi l l the ful l bond l i ne. Once the pi eces
have been brought together, do not move them unti l
the adhesi ve i s cured. The assembl y can be hel d
together wi th cl amps, ri vets, etc. A faster cure can be
obtai ned by heati ng wi th a heat l amp or heat gun.
After the parts have been bonded and have had ti me
to cure, rough sand the seam and appl y the fi nal
adhesi ve fi l l er to the area bei ng repai red. Smooth the
fi l l er wi th a spreader, wooden tongue depressor, or
squeegee. For fi ne texturi ng, a smal l amount of
water can be appl i ed to the fi l l er surface whi l e
smoothi ng. The cured fi l l er can be sanded as neces-
sary and, as a fi nal step, cl eanup can be done wi th
soapy water. Wi pe the surface cl ean wi th a dry cl oth
al l owi ng ti me for the panel to dry before movi ng on
wi th the repai r.
PANEL REINFORCEMENT
Structural repai r procedures for ri gi d panel s wi th
l arge cracks and hol es wi l l requi re a rei nforcement
backi ng. Rei nforcements can be made wi th several
appl i cati ons of gl ass cl oth saturated wi th structural
adhesi ve. Semi -ri gi d or fl exi bl e repai r materi al s
shoul d be used for semi -ri gi d or fl exi bl e backi ng rei n-
forcement (Fi g. 2) and (Fi g. 3). Open meshed fi ber-
gl ass dry wal l tape can be used to form a
rei nforcement. The dry wal l tape al l ows the resi n to
penetrate through and make a good bond between
the panel and the adhesi ve. Structural l y, the more
dry wal l tape used, the stronger the repai r.
Another ki nd of repai r that can be done to repai r
l arge cracks and hol es i s to use a scrap pi ece of si m-
i l ar pl asti c and bond wi th structural adhesi ve. The
rei nforcement shoul d cover the enti re break and
shoul d have a generous amount of overl ap on ei ther
si de of the cracked or broken area.
When repai ri ng pl asti c, the damaged area i s fi rst
Vd out, or bevel ed. Large bondi ng areas are desi r-
abl e when repai ri ng pl asti c because smal l repai rs are
l ess l i kel y to hol d permanentl y. Bevel i ng the area
around a crack at a 20 degree angl e wi l l i ncrease the
bondi ng surface for a repai r (Fi g. 4). I t i s recom-
mended that sharp edges be avoi ded because the
joi nt may show through after the panel i s refi ni shed.

When pl asti c repai rs are requi red, i t i s recom-

ment can cause stress i n the repai r areas and can
resul t i n future fai l ure.
VISUAL INSPECTION
Composi te materi al s can mask the severi ty of an
acci dent. Adhesi ve bond l i nes, i nteri or structure of
the doors, and steel structures need to be i nspected
careful l y to get a true damage assessment. Cl ose
i nspecti on may requi re parti al removal of i nteri or
tri m or i nner panel s.
I denti fy the type of repai r: Puncture or Crack -
Damage that has penetrated compl etel y through the
panel . Damage i s confi ned to one general area; a
panel secti on i s not requi red. However, a backer
panel , open fi bergl ass tape, or matted materi al must
be bonded from behi nd (Fi g. 7) (Fi g. 6).
PANEL SURFACE PREPARATION
I f a body panel has been punctured, cracked, or
crushed, the damaged area must be removed from
the panel to achi eve a successful repai r. Al l spi der
web cracks l eadi ng away from a damaged area must
be stopped or removed. To stop a runni ng crack i n a
panel , dri l l a 6 mm (0.250 i n.) hol e at the end of the
crack farthest away from the damage. I f spi der web
cracks can not be stopped, the panel woul d requi re
repl acement. The surfaces around the damaged area

PATCHING PANELS
An panel that has extensi ve puncture type damage
can be repai red by cutti ng out the damaged materi al
(Fi g. 7). Use a sui tabl e reci procati ng saw or cut off
wheel to remove the secti on of the panel that i s dam-
aged. The pi ece cut out can be used as a templ ate to
shape the new patch. I t i s not necessary to have
access to the back of the panel to i nstal l a patch.
Bevel edges of cutout at 20 degrees to expose a l arger
bondi ng area on the outer si de. Thi s wi l l al l ow for an
i ncreased rei nforcement areas.
PANEL PATCH FABRICATIONS
A patch can be fabri cated from any ri gi d fi bergl ass
panel that has comparabl e contour wi th the repai r
area. Li ft gates and fenders can be used to suppl y
patch materi al . I f exi sti ng materi al i s not avai l abl e
or compati bl e, a patch can be constructed wi th adhe-
si ve and rei nforcement mesh (dry wal l tape). Perform
the fol l owi ng operati on i f requi red:
(1) Cover waxed paper or pl asti c wi th adhesi ve
backed nyl on mesh (dry wal l tape) l arger than the
patch requi red (Fi g. 8).
(2) Tape waxed paper or pl asti c sheet wi th mesh to
a surface that has a compati bl e contour to the repai r
area.
(3) Appl y a l i beral coat of adhesi ve over the rei n-
forcement mesh (Fi g. 8). I f necessary appl y a second
or thi rd coat of adhesi ve and mesh after fi rst coat
has cured. The thi ckness of the patch shoul d be the
same as the repai r area.
(4) After patch has cured, peel waxed paper or
pl asti c from the back of the patch.
(5) I f desi red, a thi n fi l m coat of adhesi ve can be
appl i ed to the back of the patch to cover mesh for
added strength.
PANEL PATCH INSTALLATION
(1) Make a paper or cardboard pattern the si ze
and shape of the cutout hol e i n the panel .
(2) Tri m 3 mm (0.125 i n.) from edges of pattern so

NOTE: It is important to keep the air intake opening
clear of debris. Leaf particles and other debris that
is small enough to pass through the cowl opening
screen can accumulate within the HVAC housing.
The closed, warm, damp and dark environment cre-
ated within the housing is ideal for the growth of
certain molds, mildews and other fungi. Any accu-
mulation of decaying plant matter provides an addi-
tional food source for fungal spores, which enter
the housing with the fresh intake-air. Excess debris,
as well as objectionable odors created by decaying
plant matter and growing fungi can be discharged
into the passenger compartment during heater-A/C
operation if the air intake opening is not kept clear
of debris.
The heater and ai r condi ti oni ng systems are bl end-
ai r type systems. I n a bl end-ai r system, a bl end door
control s the amount of uncondi ti oned ai r (or cool ed
ai r from the evaporator on model s wi th ai r condi ti on-
i ng) that i s al l owed to fl ow through, or around, the
heater core. A temperature control knob determi nes
the di scharge ai r temperature by actuati ng an el ec-
tri c motor, whi ch operates the bl end door. Thi s al l ows
an al most i mmedi ate control of the output ai r tem-
perature of the system.
On al l model s, the outsi de ai r i ntake can be shut
off by sel ecti ng the Reci rcul ati on Mode wi th the
mode control knob. Thi s wi l l operate a el ectri c actu-
ated reci rcul ati on ai r door that cl oses off the outsi de
fresh ai r i ntake and reci rcul ates the ai r that i s
al ready i nsi de the vehi cl e.
The ai r condi ti oni ng compressor can be engaged i n
any mode by pressi ng the snowfl ake, A/C on/off but-
ton. I t can al so be engaged by pl aci ng the mode con-
trol i n the mi x to defrost posi ti ons. Thi s wi l l remove
heat and humi di ty from the ai r before i t i s di rected
through or around the heater core. The mode control
knob on the A/C-heater control i s used to al so di rect
the condi ti oned ai r to the sel ected system outl ets.
The mode control swi tch uses an el ectri c motor to
control the mode doors.
The defroster outl et recei ves ai rfl ow from the
HVAC housi ng through the mol ded pl asti c defroster
duct, whi ch connects to the HVAC housi ng defroster

di ti oni ng system has an evaporator to cool and dehu-
mi di fy the i ncomi ng ai r pri or to bl endi ng i t wi th the

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - A/C
PERFORMANCE
The ai r condi ti oni ng system i s desi gned to remove
heat and humi di ty from the ai r enteri ng the passen-
ger compartment. The evaporator, l ocated i n the
HVAC housi ng, i s cool ed to temperatures near the
freezi ng poi nt. As warm damp ai r passes over the
fi ns i n the evaporator, moi sture i n the ai r condenses
to water, dehumi di fyi ng the ai r. Condensati on on the
evaporator fi ns reduces the evaporators abi l i ty to
absorb heat. Duri ng peri ods of hi gh heat and humi d-
i ty, an ai r condi ti oni ng system wi l l be l ess effecti ve.
Wi th the i nstrument control set to Reci rcul ati on
mode, onl y ai r from the passenger compartment
passes through the evaporator. As the passenger com-
partment ai r dehumi di fi es, A/C performance l evel s
ri se.
Humi di ty has an i mportant beari ng on the temper-
ature of the ai r del i vered to the i nteri or of the vehi -
cl e. I t i s i mportant to understand the effect that
humi di ty has on the performance of the ai r condi ti on-
i ng system. When humi di ty i s hi gh, the evaporator
has to perform a doubl e duty. I t must l ower the ai r
temperature, and i t must l ower the temperature of
the moi sture i n the ai r that condenses on the evapo-
rator fi ns. Condensi ng the moi sture i n the ai r trans-
fers heat energy i nto the evaporator fi ns and tubi ng.
Thi s reduces the amount of heat the evaporator can
absorb from the ai r. Hi gh humi di ty greatl y reduces
the abi l i ty of the evaporator to l ower the temperature
of the ai r.
However, evaporator capaci ty used to reduce the
amount of moi sture i n the ai r i s not wasted. Wri ng-
i ng some of the moi sture out of the ai r enteri ng the
vehi cl e adds to the comfort of the passengers.
Al though, an owner may expect too much from thei r
ai r condi ti oni ng system on humi d days. A perfor-
mance test i s the best way to determi ne whether the
system i s performi ng up to standard. Thi s test al so
provi des val uabl e cl ues as to the possi bl e cause of
troubl e wi th the ai r condi ti oni ng system.

BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR
DESCRIPTION
The bl end door actuators are reversi bl e, 12-vol t
Di rect Current (DC), servo motors. Model s wi th the
si ngl e zone heater and ai r condi ti oner system have a
si ngl e bl end door, whi ch i s control l ed by a si ngl e
bl end door actuator. Model s wi th the opti onal dual
zone front heater and ai r condi ti oner system have
dual bl end doors, whi ch are control l ed by two bl end
door actuators. The si ngl e zone bl end door actuator i s
l ocated on the dri ver si de end of the HVAC housi ng,
cl ose to the dash panel . I n the dual zone system, the
same bl end door actuator used for the si ngl e zone
system becomes the dri ver si de bl end door actuator,
and i s mechani cal l y connected to onl y the dri ver si de
bl end door. I n the dual zone system, a second sepa-
rate bl end door actuator i s al so l ocated on the top of
the HVAC housi ng and i s mechani cal l y connected to
onl y the passenger si de bl end door.
The bl end door actuators are i nterchangeabl e wi th
each other, as wel l as wi th the actuators for the
mode door, defrost door and the reci rcul ati on door.
Each actuator i s contai ned wi thi n an i denti cal bl ack
mol ded pl asti c housi ng wi th an i ntegral wi re connec-
tor receptacl e. I ntegral mounti ng tabs al l ow the
actuator to be secured wi th three screws to the
HVAC housi ng. Each actuator al so has an i denti cal
output shaft wi th spl i nes that connects i t to the l i nk-
age that dri ves the proper door. The bl end door
actuators do not requi re mechani cal i ndexi ng to the
bl end door l i nkage, as they are el ectroni cal l y cal i -
brated by the heater-A/C control modul e. The bl end
door actuators cannot be adjusted or repai red and, i f
damaged or faul ty, they must be repl aced.
OPERATION
Each bl end door actuator i s connected to the A/C-
heater control through the vehi cl e el ectri cal system by a
dedi cated two-wi re l ead and connector from the HVAC
wi re harness. The bl end door actuator can move the
bl end-ai r door i n two di recti ons. When the A/C-heater
control pul l s the vol tage on one si de of the motor con-
necti on hi gh and the other connecti on l ow, the bl end-ai r
door wi l l move i n one di recti on. When the A/C-heater
control reverses the pol ari ty of the vol tage to the motor,
the bl end-ai r door moves i n the opposi te di recti on.
When the A/C-heater control makes the vol tage to both
connecti ons hi gh or both connecti ons l ow, the bl end-ai r
door stops and wi l l not move. The motor connecti ons
al so provi de a feedback si gnal to the A/C-heater control .
Thi s feedback si gnal al l ows the A/C-heater
