(3) On disabled vehicle, place gear selector in park
or neutral and set park brake. Turn off all accesso-
ries. (4) Connect jumper cables to booster battery. RED
clamp to positive terminal (+). BLACK clamp to
negative terminal (-). DO NOT allow clamps at oppo-
site end of cables to touch, electrical arc will result
(Fig. 1). Review all warnings in this procedure. (5) On disabled vehicle, connect RED jumper cable
clamp to positive (+) terminal. Connect BLACK
jumper cable clamp to engine ground as close to the
ground cable attaching point as possible (Fig. 1).
CAUTION: Do not crank starter motor on disabled
vehicle for more than 15 seconds, starter will over-
heat and could fail.
(6) Allow battery in disabled vehicle to charge to
at least 12.4 volts (75% charge) before attempting to
start engine. If engine does not start within 15 sec-
onds, stop cranking engine and allow starter to cool
(15 min.), before cranking again.
DISCONNECT CABLE CLAMPS AS FOLLOWS:
² Disconnect BLACK cable clamp from engine
ground on disabled vehicle.
² When using a Booster vehicle, disconnect BLACK
cable clamp from battery negative terminal. Discon-
nect RED cable clamp from battery positive terminal.
² Disconnect RED cable clamp from battery positive
terminal on disabled vehicle.
HOISTING RECOMMENDATIONS
Refer to Owner's Manual provided with vehicle for
proper emergency jacking procedures.
WARNING: THE HOISTING AND JACK LIFTING
POINTS PROVIDED ARE FOR A COMPLETE VEHI-
CLE. WHEN THE ENGINE OR REAR SUSPENSION IS REMOVED FROM A VEHICLE, THE CENTER OF
GRAVITY IS ALTERED MAKING SOME HOISTING
CONDITIONS UNSTABLE. PROPERLY SUPPORT OR
SECURE VEHICLE TO HOISTING DEVICE WHEN
THESE CONDITIONS EXIST.

0 - 6 LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE Ä

² SG service engine oil is a high quality crankcase
lubricant designed for use in all naturally aspirated
engines. If SG service engine oil is used in turbo-
charged engine, change engine oil at every 4 800
km (3,000 miles) or three months.
² SG/CD service engine oil is a high quality crank-
case lubricant designed for use in most naturally as-
pirated and turbocharged gasoline or diesel engines.
FLEXIBLE FUEL VEHICLES
Vehicles operated using Flexible Fuel (M85) re-
quire engine oil that meet or exceed Chrysler Stan-
dard MS-9214. Mopar Flexible Fuel engine oil or
equivalent should be used when adding or changing
crankcase lubricant. The API symbol (Fig. 1) on the
container indicates the viscosity grade, quality and
fuel economy ratings of the lubricant it contains. Use
ENERGY CONSERVING II motor oil with API SER-
VICE SG or SG/CD classification.
ENGINE OIL ADDITIVES
Chrysler Corporation recommends that Mopar En-
gine Oil Supplement or equivalent be used when fric-
tion and corrosion reducing materials added to the
crankcase lubricant is desired.
CRANKCASE OIL LEVEL INSPECTION
CAUTION: Do not overfill crankcase with engine oil,
oil foaming and oil pressure loss can result.
Inspect engine oil level approximately every 800
kilometers (500 miles). Position vehicle on level sur- face. With engine OFF, allow enough time for oil to
settle to bottom of crankcase, remove engine oil level
indicator (dipstick) and wipe clean. Install dipstick
and verify it is seated in the tube. Remove dipstick,
with handle above tip, take oil level reading (Fig. 2).
Add oil only if level is below MIN or ADD mark on
dipstick.
ENGINE OIL CHANGE
Change engine oil at mileage and time intervals
described in Lubrication and Maintenance Schedules.
Position the vehicle on a level surface. Hoist and
support vehicle on safety stands. Refer to Hoisting
and Jacking Recommendations in this group. Place a
suitable 3.8 liter (4 qt.) drain pan under crankcase
drain. Remove drain plug from crankcase. Inspect
drain plug threads for stretching or other damage.
Replace drain plug and gasket if damaged. Install
drain plug in crankcase. Lower vehicle and fill
crankcase with specified type and amount of engine
oil described in this section. Start engine and inspect
for leaks. Stop engine and inspect oil level.
ENGINE OIL FILTER
SELECTING OIL FILTER
Chrysler Corporation recommends a Mopar or
equivalent oil filter be used when replacement is re-
quired. A replacement filter must be designed to
withstand 1756 kPa (256 psi) of internal pressure.
OIL FILTER REPLACEMENT
Position a drain pan under the oil filter. Using a
suitable oil filter wrench (Fig. 3) loosen filter. When
filter separates from adapter nipple, tip gasket end
upward to minimize oil spill. Remove filter from ve-
hicle. With a wiping cloth, clean the gasket sealing
surface (Fig. 4) of oil and grime. Wipe off oil residue
from below oil filter adapter.
TO INSTALL NEW OIL FILTER: Lightly lubricate oil filter gasket with engine oil or
chassis grease. Thread filter onto adapter nipple.
When gasket makes contact with sealing surface,
tighten filter one full turn. If necessary use a filter
wrench, do not over tighten. Add oil, verify crank-
case oil level and start engine. Inspect for oil leaks.

(3) Check solenoid to volume canister joint.
² Front strut to solenoid valve connection.
² Rear spring to solenoid valve connection.
(4) Check air line for ruptures, cuts, splits or heat
damage. Use a soap and water solution or a liquid de-
veloped for leak detection.
SYSTEM OPERATION
ENGINE RUN OPERATION
The system will compensate for load
addition/removal when.
² The trunk and all doors are closed.
² The engine speed exceeds 600 R.P.M.
² Throttle angle is less than 65 degrees.
² The brake is not applied.
² You are not cornering above 10 mph.
² There is not a charging system problem with the
vehicle.
ENGINE OFF OPERATION
After passengers/load is removed from the vehicle
the system will correct the vehicle attitude after:
² The trunk and all doors are closed.
² The ignition switch is in the OFF position.
Opening the a door or trunk wakes up the body
computer and the air suspension module. The air
suspension system is now capable of leveling, if
required.
LONG TERM IGNITION OFF OPERATION
The system is capable of one an additional leveling
cycle. After 2 continuous hours of ignition key off and
no door open or trunk open activities. This feature is
implemented to eliminate possible ice freeze-up be-
tween the tire and the inner fender shield.
SYSTEM OPERATION INHIBITORS
The air suspension system is inhibited when:
² The trunk is open.
² A door(s) is/are open.
² The brake pedal is engaged.
² The throttle is at the wide open position.
² The charging system fails.
The maximum compressor pump or exhaust
time is 3 minutes.
SYSTEM FAILURES
Vehicles equipped with air suspension and overhead
console. Will alert the driver of an air suspension
system malfunction. A warning Check Air Suspension
will appear on the overhead console screen.
SAFETY CONCERNS
WARNING: REAR AIR SPRINGS MUST BE DEFLATED
BEFORE BEING REMOVED FROM THE VEHICLE.
WARNING: OPEN TRUNK, OR DOOR(S) OR REMOVE
GROUND STRAP FROM BATTERY BEFORE HOIST-
ING OR JACKING A VEHICLE DURING MECHANICAL
REPAIRS.
WARNING: IF THE VEHICLE NEEDS SERVICE OR
REPAIR OF THE REAR SHOCK ABSORBERS OR
REAR AXLE PIVOT BUSHINGS. THE REAR AIR
SPRINGS MUST HAVE THE AIR PRESSURE RE-
MOVED BEFORE THE VEHICLE CAN BE SERVICED
SAFELY.
SHIPPING MODE
(1) Removing shipping height signal for customer
use.
² Use DRB II tester and 1991 Chassis (Air Suspen-
sion) service cartridge.
² Follow DRB II requirements to cancel shipping
height message in the body computer.
² Connect the Ignition Off Draw (I.O.D.) circuit.
The connection of the IOD circuit will cancel
the Shipping height signal. (2) Return to shipping height.
² Set shipping command in the body computer using
the DRB II and the 1991 Chassis (Air suspension)
service cartridge.
² Disconnect the I.O.D. connector.
DIAGNOSIS
INITIAL DIAGNOSTIC CHECK
(1) Check for blown or missing fuses.
