DESCRIPTION
For operation of the factory installed standard and
optional radios and the optional compact disc player,
refer to the Sound Systems Operating Instructions
Manual supplied with the vehicle. All vehicles are equipped with an Ignition-Off
Draw Connector which, is used when the vehicles are
originally shipped from the factory. This connector
which, is located near the battery, helps to prevent
battery discharge during storage. For specific connec-
tor type and location, refer to Group 8W, Wiring Di-
agrams. This connector is included in the radio memory cir-
cuitry and should be checked if the memory of time
or radio station programming is inoperative.
INTERFERENCE ELIMINATION
Some components are used on vehicles equipped
with a radio capacitor, to suppress radio frequency
interference/static. Capacitors are mounted in various locations, on the
generator either internal or external, internal to the
instrument cluster, and internal to the windshield
wiper motor. Ground straps are mounted from radio chassis to
instrument panel support structure, engine to cowl,
across engine mount on right hand side. On vehicles
with air conditioning there is a strap from evapora-
tor valve to cowl. These ground straps should be se-
curely tightened to assure good metal to metal
contact. Ground straps conduct very small high fre-
quency electrical signals to ground and require clean
large surface area contact. Radio resistance type spark plug cables in the high
tension circuit of the ignition system complete the in-
terference suppression (Fig. 1).
If radio noises are evident, be sure the capacitor
lead wires are making good contact on their respec-
tive terminals and are securely mounted. Faulty or
deteriorated spark plug wires should be replaced.
AUDIO DIAGNOSTIC TEST PROCEDURES
Whenever a audio malfunction occurs, first verify
that the radio wire harness is properly connected to
all connectors before starting normal diagnosis and
repair procedures. Refer to Audio Diagnostic Charts
and/or Radio Connector Circuit Chart (Fig. 2).

GENERAL INFORMATION
The vehicle speed control is electronically con-
trolled and vacuum operated. The electronic control
is integrated into the powertrain control module, lo-
cated next to battery. The controls are located on the
steering wheel and consist of the ON/OFF, RESUME/
ACCEL and SET/DECEL buttons (Fig. 1). For iden-
tification and location of the major components (Fig.
2 through 8).
The system is designed to operate at speeds above
35 mph (50 km/h).
WARNING: THE USE OF VEHICLE SPEED CON-
TROL IS NOT RECOMMENDED WHEN DRIVING
CONDITIONS DO NOT PERMIT MAINTAINING A
CONSTANT SPEED, SUCH AS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC
OR ON ROADS THAT ARE WINDING, ICY, SNOW
COVERED, OR SLIPPERY.
TO ACTIVATE: The ON/OFF button to the de-
pressed latched position, ON, the vehicle speed con-
trol function is now ready for use. TO DEACTIVATE:
A soft tap of the brake pedal,
normal brake application or depressing the clutch
pedal while the system is engaged will disengage ve-
hicle speed control without erasing memory. A sud-
den increase in engine rpm may be experienced if the
clutch pedal is depressed while the vehicle speed con-
trol is engaged. Pushing the ON/OFF button to the
unlatched position or turning off the ignition erases
the memory. TO SET SPEED: When the vehicle has reached
the desired speed push the SET/DECEL button to en-
gage system which will then automatically maintain
the desired speed. TO DECELERATE: When vehicle speed control is
engaged, holding the SET/DECEL button depressed
allows the vehicle to coast to a lower speed setting.

INOPERATIVE SYSTEM
If road test verifies an inoperative system with a
correct speedometer operation:
² Inspect fuse
² Check for loose electrical and vacuum connections
at the servo
² Check for correct position of the vacuum check
valve in the hose from servo to vacuum source. The
word VAC on the valve must point toward the vac-
uum source.
² Inspection should also be made to verify that both
ends of the vehicle speed control cable are securely
attached. If either end is loose, the vehicle speed con-
trol will be inoperative.
CHECKING FOR FAULT CODE
(1) When trying to verify a vehicle speed control
electronic malfunction: (a) Connect a DRB II if available.
(b) Plug DRB II into the diagnostic connector in
the engine compartment. (c) Check that either a Fault Code 34 or Fault
Code 15 is indicated. (d) An inoperative vehicle speed control may still
occur without either fault code being indicated. (e) With key inserted in ignition switch, cycle
switch to ON position three times. On third cycle,
leave switch in ON position. (f) After switch has been cycled three times, ob-
serve CHECK ENGINE indicator on instrument
cluster. If a Fault Code is present, indicator will
flash (blink) in a series which will show which
Fault Code is the problem. EXAMPLE: A series of
three flashes in rapid succession, a slight pause,
then four flashes in rapid succession would indicate
Fault Code 34.
(2) If no Fault Code appears, or Fault Code 34 is
observed, refer to:
² The Servo Electrical Test.
² The Powertrain Control Module Electrical Test.
(3) If a fault code 15 is observed, test vehicle speed
sensor. For testing vehicle speed sensor and related compo-
nents refer to the Powertrain Diagnostics Test Proce-
dure Manual. (4) Correct any problems found when performing
these tests and recheck for Fault Code if changes
were made. (5) If no problems were found above, replace pow-
ertrain control module.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Each vehicle is equipped with lamps used for illumi-
nating and indicating purposes. A circuit must have a
good ground to be complete. Circuit ground occurs
when the lamp socket makes contact with the metal
body. On vehicles with plastic lamps, a wire between
the socket and the body makes the grounds. When changing lamp bulbs, check the socket for
corrosion. If corrosion is present, clean contacts with a
wire brush and coat the inside of the socket with
Mopar tMulti-purpose Grease or equivalent.
CAUTION: Do not touch the glass of halogen bulbs
with fingers or any possibly oily surface, reduced
bulb life will result.
