mm (In.1smo59
PARTSWhen replacing parts, use MOPAR genuine parts.
VEHICLE WASHING
If high-pressure car-washing equipment or steam car-washing
equipment is used to wash the vehicle, be sure to maintain the
spray nozzle at a distance of at least 300 mm (12 in.) from anyplastic parts and all opening parts (doors, luggage compart-
ment, etc.).
SERVICING ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
1. Note the following before proceeding with work on the
electrical system.
Note that the following must never be done:
Unauthorized modifications of any electrical device or
wiring, because such modifications might lead to a vehicle
malfunction, over-capacity or short-circuit that could result
in a fire in the vehicle.
2. When servicing the electrical system, disconnect the
negative cable terminal from the batten/.
Caution1. Before connecting or disconnecting the negative
cable, be sure to turn off the ignition switch and thelighting switch.
(If this is not done, there is the possibility of
semiconductor parts being damaged.)
2. For MPI-equipped models, after completion of the
work steps [when the battery’s negative
(-) termi-
nal is connected], warm up the engine and allow it
to idle for approximately five minutes under the
conditions described below, in order to stabilize
engine control conditions, and then check to be
sure that the idling is satisfactory.
Engine coolant temperature:
85-95°C (185-203°F)
Lights, electric fans, accessories: OFF
Transaxle: neutral position
(A/T models: “N” or “P”)
Steering wheel: neutral (center) position

Ioes the ABS warning light illuminate as describedbelow up to the time the engine starts?
1) When the ignition key is turned to the “ON”
position, the ABS warning light illuminates for
approximately 1 second due to the ABS ECU (asa self check of the valve relays is performed),
then it blinks twice and goes out and stays out.
2) With the ignition key in the “START” position,
power to the ABS ECU is interrupted and the

ABS warning light remains lit because the valve
relay is OFF.
(3) When the ignition key is turned from the
“START” position to the “ON” position, the
ABS warning light illuminates for approximately
1 second (during this time a recheck of the valverelays is performed), then it blinks twice and
then goes out and stays out.
