GENERAL
INFORMATION

Before starting diagnosis and repair procedures for
a speed control malfunction, verify that the speed
control wire harness is properly connected to all con­ nectors. Refer to Diagnosis Chart.

ROAD
TEST
Road test vehicle to verify reports of speed control
system malfunction. The road test should include at­
tention to the speedometer. Speedometer operation should be smooth and without flutter at all speeds. Flutter in the speedometer indicates a problem
which might cause surging in the speed control sys­
tem. The cause of any speedometer deficiencies should be corrected before proceeding.

INOPERATIVE SYSTEM
If road test verifies a system problem and the
speedometer operates properly, check for:
• loose electrical and vacuum connections at the
servo.

• check for correct installation of the vacuum check
valve in the hose from servo to vacuum source (Gas
Engine Only). The word VAC on the valve must
point toward the vacuum source. • corrosion that should be removed from electrical
terminals and a light coating of Mopar Multi-Pur­
pose Grease, or equivalent, applied. • secure attachment of both ends of speed control ca­

ble.

CHECKING
FOR DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE
(1) When trying to verify a speed control system
electrical problem, use a DRB II Scan Tool to find
the cause. Refer to Powertrain Diagnostic Procedures manual. If the DRBII is not available, the Diagnostic Trou­
ble Code (DTC) may be determined with the follow­ ing method: (a) With key inserted in ignition switch, cycle
switch to ON position 3 times. On third cycle, leave
switch in ON position. (b) After switch has been cycled 3 times, observe
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (CHECK ENGINE) on instrument cluster. If a DTC is present, the code

Three flashes in rapid succession, a slight
pause, then 4 flashes in rapid succession would in­ dicate DTC 34.
(2) If a DTC 34 is observed, perform the tests in
the sections Electrical Tests at Servo and Electrical
Tests at Powertrain Control Module.
If a DTC 15 is observed, perform the test for a
faulty Vehicle Speed Sensor.
(3) If a fault code 11 is observed (Diesel only), per­
form the test for a faulty engine speed sensor. Refer
to the Powertrain Diagnostics Procedures Manual.
(4) Correct any problems found when performing
these tests and recheck for DTC if changes were made.

VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR TEST
For testing of the Vehicle Speed Sensor and related
components refer to the Powertrain Diagnostic Proce­
dures manual.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL SYSTEM ELECTRICAL
TESTS
Vehicle speed control systems may be tested using
two different methods. One involves the use of the DRBII Scan Tool. If this test method is desired,
please refer to the Powertrain Diagnostic Procedures manual. The other test method uses a voltmeter. The volt­
meter method is described in the following tests.
If any information is needed concerning wiring, re­
fer to Group 8W - Wiring Diagrams.

CAUTION:
When test probing
for
voltage
or
conti­nuity
at
electrical
connectors, care must
be
taken
not
to
damage connector, terminals,
or
seals.

GENERAL
INFORMATION
The windshield wipers
can be
operated with
the

windshield wiper switch only when
the
ignition switch
is in the
ACCESSORY
or RUN
position.
A

fuse located
in the
fuse block protects
the
circuitry
of
the wiper system
and the
vehicle. The same motor
is
used
for
standard
and
intermit­
tent wipe systems. The wiper motor
has
permanent magnet fields.
The

speeds
are
determined
by
current flow
to the
appro­
priate
set of
brushes. The intermittent wipe system
in
addition
to low

has a
delay mode.
The
delay mode
has
a
range
of 2 to 15
seconds. This
is
accomplished
by
a
variable resistor
in the
wiper switch
and is
con­ trolled electrically
by a
control module.
The wiper system completes
the
wipe cycle when
the switch
is
turned
OFF. The
blades park
in the
lowest portion
of the
wipe pattern.
Depressing
the
washer knob while
the
system
is in

the
OFF
position, • turns
the
wiper motor

BLADES

Wiper blades exposed to the weather for a long pe­
riod of time tend to lose their wiping effectiveness.
Periodic cleaning of the wiper blade is suggested to
remove the accumulation of salt and road film. The wiper blades, arms and windshield should be cleaned
with a sponge or cloth and a mild detergent or nona-
brasive cleaner. If the blades continue to streak or smear, they should be replaced.

WIPER BLADE ELEMENT CHANGE
There are two types of wiper blade assemblies. The
assemblies are identified as "Type A" (Fig. 1) and
"Type B" (Figs. 2 and 3).
