STEERING LINKAGE
INSPECTION
The steering linkage and steering gear should be in-
spected for wear, leaks or damage when other under ve-
hicle service is performed. The rack and pinion steering
gear end boots should not have excess oil or grease res-
idue on the outside surfaces or surrounding areas
(Fig.1). If boot is leaking, it should be repaired. For
proper service procedures, see Group 19, Steering.
The tie rod end seal should fit securely between the
steering knuckle and tie rod end (Fig.2). The steering
linkage should be lubricated at the time and distance
intervals described in the Lubrication and Mainte-
nance Schedules. Refer to General Information sec-
tion of this group.
TIE ROD END LUBRICATION
Lubricate the steering linkage with Mopar, Multi-
mileage Lube or equivalent. Using a wiping cloth,
clean grease and dirt from around grease fitting and
joint seal. Using a grease gun, fill tie rod end until
lubricant leaks from around the tie rod end side of
the seal (Fig.2). When lube operation is complete,
wipe off excess grease.
LOWER BALL JOINTS
INSPECTION
The front suspension lower ball joints should be in-
spected for wear, leaks or damage when other under ve- hicle service is performed. The ball joint seal should fit
securely between the steering knuckle and lower control
arm (Fig. 3). The ball joints should be lubricated at the
time and distance intervals described in the Lubrication
and Maintenance Schedules. Refer to the General Infor-
mation section of this group.
BALL JOINT LUBRICATION
CAUTION: Do not over fill ball joint with grease,
damage to seal can result.
Lubricate the ball joints with Mopar, Multi-mile-
age Lube or equivalent. Using a wiping cloth, clean
grease and dirt from around grease fitting and joint
seal. Using a grease gun, fill ball joint until seal
starts to swell (Fig. 3). When lube operation is com-
plete, wipe off excess grease.
POWER STEERING
The power steering fluid level should be inspected
when other under hood service is performed. If the
fluid level is low and system is not leaking, use Mo-
par, Power Steering Fluid or equivalent. The power
steering system should be inspected for leaks when
other under vehicle service is performed. For proper
service procedures, refer to Group 19, Steering.Fig. 1 Inspect Steering Linkage
Fig. 2 Tie Rod End Lubrication
Ä LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE 0 - 19

BRAKE RESERVOIR LEVEL INSPECTION
WARNING: DO NOT ALLOW PETROLEUM OR WATER
BASE LIQUIDS TO CONTAMINATE BRAKE FLUID,
SEAL DAMAGE AND BRAKE FAILURE CAN RESULT.
RELIEVE PRESSURE IN ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYS-
TEM BEFORE ADDING BRAKE FLUID TO RESER-
VOIR. IF NOT, BRAKE FLUID COULD DISCHARGED
FROM THE RESERVOIR POSSIBLY CAUSING PER-
SONAL INJURY.
The brake reservoir level should be inspected when
other under hood service is performed. It is normal
for the reservoir level to drop as disc brake pads
wear. When fluid must be added, use Mopar, Brake
Fluid or equivalent. Use only brake fluid conforming
to DOT 3, Federal, Department of Transportation
specification. To avoid brake fluid contamination, use
fluid from a properly sealed container. On vehicles with anti-lock brakes, depressurize the
system before inspecting fluid level. Turn OFF the
ignition and remove the key. Pump the brake pedal
at least 50 times to relieve the pressure in the sys-
tem.
On all vehicles, if fluid should become low after sev-
eral thousand kilometers (miles), fill the reservoir to
level marks on the side of the reservoir (Fig. 8 or 9).
HEADLAMPS
The headlamps should be inspected for intensity
and aim whenever a problem is suspected. When lug-
gage compartment is heavily loaded, the headlamp
aim should be adjusted to compensate for vehicle
height change. For proper service procedures, refer to
Group 8L, Lamps. DRIVER SUPPLEMENTAL AIRBAG SYSTEM
If the AIRBAG indicator lamp does not light at all,
stays lit or lights momentarily or continuously while
driving, a malfunction may have occurred. Prompt service is required. Refer to Group 8M, Restraint
Systems for proper diagnostic procedures.
BODY LUBRICATION
Body mechanisms and linkages should be inspected,
cleaned and lubricated as required to maintain ease of
operation and to prevent corrosion and wear. Before a component is lubricated, oil, grease and dirt
should be wiped off. If necessary, use solvent to clean
component to be lubricated. After lubrication is com-
plete, wipe off excess grease or oil. During winter season, external lock cylinders should
be lubricated with Mopar, Lock Lubricant or equiva-
lent to ensure proper operation when exposed to water
and ice. To assure proper hood latching component operation,
use engine oil to lubricate the lock, safety catch and
hood hinges when other under hood service is per-
formed. Mopar, Multi-purpose Grease or equivalent
should be applied sparingly to all pivot and slide
contact areas.
USE ENGINE OIL ON:
² Door hingesÐHinge pin and pivot points.
² Hood hingesÐPivot points.
² Luggage compartment lid hingesÐPivot points.
USE MOPAR LUBRIPLATE OR EQUIVALENT ON:
² Door check straps.
² Hood counterbalance springs.
² Luggage compartment lid latches.
² Luggage compartment lid prop rod pivots.
² Ash tray slides.
² Fuel Fill Door latch mechanism.
² Park brake mechanism.
² Front seat tracks.

MAP READING LAMPS
The map reading and rear passenger lamps are
turned on and off by pressing their individual switch
marked LAMP. These same lamps also serve as cour-
tesy lamps whenever a door is opened, the illumi-
nated entry system is activated, or the headlamp
switch is turned fully clockwise.
LAMP REPLACEMENT
(1) Remove lens by inserting a large paper clip or
wire, with a hook on the end, into the hole in the
lens and pull downward (Fig. 1).
(2) Remove lamp by pulling firmly toward front of
vehicle. (3) Install new lamp by pushing firmly into recep-
tacle. (4) Snap lens into position taking care to orient
the tabs on the lens with the slots in the housing and
snap into position.
LAMP TEST
(1) Close vehicle doors.
(2) Press each lamp switch button (Fig.2). Right
hand button should light passenger side lamp and
left hand button should light drivers side lamp front
or rear. (3) If any of the lamps fail to illuminate, open ve-
hicle doors: (a) If lamp does not illuminate check for a
burned out lamp. If lamp is OK, check fuse and
wire connectors. (b) If lamp illuminates when doors are open
check switch.
THERMOMETER AND COMPASS OPERATION
The ignition switch must be in the ON or ACCES-
SORY position before the temperature and compass
reading can be displayed. The Comp/Temp switch, lo-
cated left of the display module, turns the display on
and off. The US/Metric switch, located right of the dis-
play, changes the temperature reading from Fahrenheit
to Celsius. Should the compass blank out and the CAL
symbol only light, demagnetizing may be necessary.
The compass is a flux-gate system which, is inte-
gral to the console. The temperature readout is con-
nected to a thermistor sensor which, located on the
front lower radiator closure panel.Fig. 1 Overhead Console Lens Removal

VISUAL MESSAGES
Following are the visual messages and the condi-
tions under which, the messages will be given:
² Keys in ignition
² Exterior lamps on
These messages will appear if the conditions are
present and the driver's door is open while the igni-
tion switch is in the OFF, LOCK, or ACC positions.
A tone will sound until the condition is corrected or
the door is closed.
² Passenger door ajar
² Driver door ajar
² Trunk ajar
² Park brake engaged
² Right rear door ajar
² Left rear door ajar
These messages will appear if a condition is de-
tected after the vehicle is in motion. When the con-
dition is corrected, a short tone will sound to
acknowledge the action. LOW OIL PRESSURE
If this message is displayed while the vehicle is at
cruising speeds, immediate attention is required. If
this message appears at idle speed, increase the idle
speed and the message should go off. If the message
remains on, immediate attention is required. ENGINE TEMP CRITICAL
This message appears when a sensor has determined
that the engine coolant is overheating. If this message
comes on and stays on, immediate action is required.
COOLANT LEVEL LOW
LOW FUEL LEVEL
LOW BRAKE FLUID
WASHER FLUID LOW
These messages will appear if a continuous warn-
ing condition is detected while the engine is running.
Inspection is required. To clear this message from
the display, after the condition is corrected, the igni-
tion switch must be turned OFF. CHECK TRANS
This message will appear if a continuous warning
condition is detected while the engine is running. Im-
mediate attention is recommended. To clear this mes-
sage from the display, after the condition has been
corrected, the ignition switch must be turned OFF. VOLTAGE IMPROPER
This message will appear if a continuous warning
condition is detected. Immediate attention is re-
quired. To clear this message from the display, after
the condition has been corrected, the ignition switch
must be turned OFF. TURN SIGNAL ON
This message will appear if the turn signal is left
on while vehicle speed is over 15 mph and the vehi-
cle has traveled over one-half mile. FASTEN SEAT BELTS An intermittent chime tone will sound for several
seconds if the seat belt is not fastened. CHK ENGINE OIL LEVEL
If this message is delivered, a check of the engine
oil dipstick is suggested. To clear this message, after
the condition is corrected, the ignition switch must
be turned OFF. HEADLAMP OUT
BRAKE LAMP OUT
TAIL LAMP OUT
These conditions are monitored only when the lamps
are on. The message will remain, even after the lamp is
replaced, until the lamp is turned on and operates.

The maintenance reminder statement is programmed
to provide general information only. Refer to Group 0,
Lubrication & Maintenance for specific vehicle require-
ments.
The service reminder message is displayed at 7,500
miles or 12 months intervals, which ever comes first. MONITORED SYSTEMS OK
If there is no warning condition to report, the mes-
sage Monitored Systems OK is displayed (Fig. 2).
AUTOMATIC CALIBRATION SET PROCEDURE
The engine compartment node will continuously
and automatically recalibrate the compass under nor-
mal driving conditions. As long as the vehicle is
turning, the engine compartment node will record
new compass data. This new data will be used to
recalibrate the compass at a rate of at least once per
full (360 degree) turn of the vehicle. Automatic cali-
bration does not require operator interface.
MANUAL CALIBRATION SET PROCEDURE
Manual compass calibration has been replaced by
automatic calibration set procedure. The manual cal-
ibration set procedure is available, but no longer
serves any useful purpose.
EVIC SELF CHECK DIAGNOSTICS
Ignition switch ON, the EVIC not displaying any
message, may imply a system failure and not an
EVIC failure. Turn the ignition OFF, close all vehi-
cle doors and wait at least 60 seconds before begin-
ning test. Turn ignition switch to the ON position.
Pressing the TEMP, FUEL and INFO buttons at the
same time shall provide the visual message MOD-
ULE SELF CHECK for two seconds. Following at
two second interval there will be messages:
² E2-0 SELF CHECK
² E3-0 SELF CHECK
² END OF SELF CHECK
Showing the microcomputer is working properly.
When the self check mode and message shows:
² E2-1
