ANTENNA
All models use a fixed-length stainless steel rod-
type antenna mast, installed at the right front (fend-
er on XJ, cowl side on YJ) of the vehicle. The
antenna mast is connected to the center wire of the
coaxial antenna cable and is not grounded to any
part of the vehicle.
To eliminate static, the antenna base must have a
good ground. The coaxial antenna cable shield (the
outer wire mesh of the cable) is grounded to the an-
tenna base and the radio chassis.
The factory installed ETRs automatically compen-
sate for radio antenna trim. Therefore, no antenna
trimmer adjustment is required or possible when re-
placing the receiver or the antenna.
RADIO NOISE SUPPRESSION
Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) and Electro-
Magnetic Interference (EMI) noise suppression is ac-
complished primarily through circuitry internal to
the radio receivers. These internal suppression de-
vices are only serviced as a part of the radio receiver.External suppression devices that are serviceable
and should be checked in the case of RFI or EMI
noise complaints include the following:
²radio antenna base ground
²engine-to-body ground strap
²resistor-type spark plugs
²radio suppression-type secondary ignition wiring.
In addition, if the source of RFI or EMI noise is
identified as a component on the vehicle (i.e.:genera-
tor, blower motor, etc.), the ground path for that com-
ponent should be checked. If excessive resistance is
found in that circuit, repair as required before con-
sidering any component replacement.
Fleet vehicles are available with an extra-cost RFI-
suppressed Powertrain Control Module (PCM). This
unit reduces interference generated by the PCM on
some radio frequencies used in two-way radio com-
munications. However, this unit will not resolve com-
plaints of RFI in the commercial AM or FM radio
frequency ranges.
DIAGNOSIS
RADIO
CAUTION: Do not operate the radio with speaker
leads detached since damage to the transistors
may result.
(1) Check fuse 2 in fuseblock module and fuse in
back of radio chassis. If OK, go to next step. If not
OK, replace fuse.
(2) Turn ignition switch to ON position. Check for
battery voltage at fuse 2. If OK, go to next step. If
not OK, repair circuit to ignition switch as required.
(3) Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Discon-
nect battery negative cable. Remove instrument clus-
ter bezel. Remove radio, but do not unplug any
connections. Check for continuity between the radio
chassis and a good ground. There should be continu-
ity. If OK, go to next step. If not OK, repair radio
ground circuit as required.
(4) Connect battery negative cable. Turn ignition
switch to ON position. See Radio Connections chart.
Check for battery voltage at cavity 3 of radio connec-
tor. If OK, go to next step. If not OK, repair circuit to
fuse 2 as required.
(5) Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Check for
battery voltage at cavity 4 of radio connector. If OK,
replace radio. If not OK, repair circuit to IOD fuse in
PDC as required.
SPEAKERS
CAUTION: Do not operate the radio with speaker
leads detached since damage to the transistors
may result.
(1) Turn radio on and adjust balance and fader
controls to check performance of each individual
speaker. Note the speaker locations that are not per-
forming correctly. Go to next step.
(2) Turn radio off. Disconnect battery negative ca-
ble. Remove instrument cluster bezel and remove ra-
dio. See Radio Connections chart. Check both the
speaker feed and return cavities at radio for continu-
ity to a good ground. There should be no continuity.
If OK, go to next step. If not OK, repair wiring cir-
cuit as required.
(3) Check resistance between speaker feed and re-
turn cavities. Meter should read between 3 and 8
ohms (speaker impedance). If OK, see diagnosis for
Radio. If not OK, go to next step.
(4) Unplug speaker wiring connector. Check for
continuity between speaker feed cavity at radio and
at speaker. Repeat check between speaker return
cavity at radio and at speaker. If OK, replace
speaker. If not OK, repair wiring circuit as required.
8F - 2 AUDIO SYSTEMSJ

(5) The coil ground terminal (85) is connected to
the electromagnet in the relay. Check as follows:
(a) On YJ models, it is grounded at all times.
There should be continuity to ground at cavity for
relay terminal 85 at all times. If not, repair circuit
to ground as required.
(b) On XJ models, it is energized when the head-
lamp switch is on. There should be battery voltage
at cavity for relay terminal 85 with the headlamp
switch on. If not, repair circuit to headlamp switch
as required.
ANTENNA
The following four tests are used to diagnose the
antenna with an ohmmeter:
²mast to ground test (Test 1)
²tip-of-mast to tip-of-conductor test (Test 2)
²body ground to battery ground test (Test 3)
²body ground to coaxial shield test (Test 4).
Ohmmeter test lead connections for each test are
shown in Figure 3.
TEST 1
Test 1 determines if the antenna mast is insulated
from the base. Proceed as follows:
(1) Disconnect antenna cable lead from radio chas-
sis and isolate.
(2) Connect one ohmmeter lead to tip of antenna
mast and the other lead to the antenna base. Check
for continuity.
(3) There should be no continuity. If continuity is
found, replace defective or damaged antenna base
and cable assembly.
TEST 2
Test 2 checks the antenna for an open circuit as fol-
lows:
(1) Disconnect the antenna cable lead from the ra-
dio chassis.
(2) Connect one ohmmeter test lead to tip of an-
tenna mast. Connect remaining lead to tip of an-
tenna cable lead (the part inserted into the radio).
(3) Continuity should exist (ohmmeter should only
register a fraction of an ohm). High or infinite resis-
tance indicates damage to the base and cable assem-
bly. Replace if required.
TEST 3
Test 3 checks condition of the vehicle body ground
connection as follows:
(1) Connect one ohmmeter test lead to the vehicle
fender and the other lead to the battery negative
post.
(2) Resistance should be less than one ohm.
(3) If resistance is more than one ohm, check the
braided ground strap connected to the engine and ve-
hicle body for being loose, corroded, or damaged. Re-
pair as necessary.
TEST 4
Test 4 checks condition of the ground between the
antenna base and vehicle body as follows:
(1) Connect one ohmmeter test lead to the fender
and the other lead to the crimp on the coaxial an-
tenna cable shield.
(2) Resistance should be less then one ohm.
(3) If resistance is more then one ohm:
(a) On YJ models, replace the antenna base at-
taching screws with new cadmium plated screws.
(b) On XJ models, clean and/or tighten antenna
base to fender mounting hardware.
RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE
Inspect ground connections at:
²blower motor
²electric fuel pump
²generator
²ignition module
²wiper motor
²antenna coaxial ground
²radio ground
²body-to-engine ground strap (braided).
Clean, tighten or repair as required.
Also inspect the following secondary ignition sys-
tem components:
²spark plug wire routing and condition
²distributor cap and rotor
²ignition coil
²spark plugs.
Reroute spark plug wires or replace components as
required.

DIAGNOSIS............................. 2
GENERAL INFORMATION.................. 1SERVICE PROCEDURES................... 9
GENERAL INFORMATION
The vehicle speed control system (Fig. 1) is an
available option on all XJ (Cherokee) models. The
system is electronically controlled and vacuum oper-
ated. Following are general descriptions of the major
components in the vehicle speed control system. Re-
fer to Group 8W - Wiring Diagrams for complete cir-
cuit descriptions and diagrams.
SPEED CONTROL SERVO
The speed control servo is mounted to a bracket on
the right side inner fender shield in the engine com-
partment. The servo unit consists of a solenoid valve
body, a vacuum servo and the mounting bracket. The
PCM controls the solenoid valve body. The solenoid
valve body controls the application and release of
vacuum to the diaphragm of the vacuum servo. The
servo unit cannot be repaired and is serviced only as
a complete assembly.
SPEED CONTROL SWITCH
The speed control switch module is mounted to the
center of the steering wheel below the driver's airbag
module. The PCM monitors the state of the speed
control switches. The individual switches are labeled:
OFF/ON, RESUME/ACCEL, SET/COAST. Refer to
the owner's manual for more information on speed
control switch functions and setting procedures. The
individual switches cannot be repaired. If one switch
fails, the entire switch module must be replaced.
STOP LAMP SWITCH
Vehicles with the speed control option use a dual
function stop lamp switch. The switch is mounted in
the same location as the conventional stop lamp
switch, on the brake pedal mounting bracket under
the instrument panel. The PCM monitors the state of
the dual function stop lamp switch. Refer to Group 5
- Brakes for more information on stop lamp switch
service and adjustment procedures.
SERVO CABLE
The speed control servo cable is connected betweenthe speed control vacuum servo diaphragm and the
throttle control linkage. This cable causes the throt-
tle control linkage to open or close the throttle valve
in response to movement of the vacuum servo dia-
phragm.
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE
The speed control electronic control circuitry is in-
tegrated into the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
The PCM is located in the engine compartment on
the left side inner fender shield. The PCM speed con-
trol functions are monitored by the On-Board Diag-
nostics (OBD). All OBD-sensed systems are
monitored by the PCM. Each monitored circuit is as-
signed a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC). The PCM
will store a DTC in electronic memory for any failure
it detects. See Using On-Board Diagnostic System in
this group for more information. The PCM cannot be
repaired and must be replaced if faulty.
VACUUM RESERVOIR
The vacuum reservoir is mounted behind the left
end of the front bumper bar. The reservoir contains a
one-way check valve to trap engine vacuum in the
reservoir. When engine vacuum drops, as in climbing
a grade while driving, the reservoir supplies the vac-
uum needed to maintain proper speed control opera-
tion. The vacuum reservoir cannot be repaired and
must be replaced if faulty.
VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR
The Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) is a pulse genera-
tor mounted to an adapter near the transmission
(two-wheel drive) or transfer case (four-wheel drive)
output shaft. The sensor is driven through the
adapter by a speedometer pinion gear. The VSS pulse
signal to the speedometer/odometer is monitored by
the PCM speed control circuitry to determine vehicle
speed and to maintain speed control set speed. Refer
to the appropriate Powertrain Diagnostic Procedures
manual for testing of this component. Refer to Group
14 - Fuel System for service of this component.
JVEHICLE SPEED CONTROL SYSTEM 8H - 1

USING ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitors
critical input and output circuits of the speed control
system, making sure they are operational. A Diagnos-
tic Trouble Code (DTC) is assigned to each input and
output circuit monitored by the OBD system. Some
circuits are checked continuously and some are
checked only under certain conditions.
If the OBD system senses that a monitored circuit
is bad, it will put a DTC into electronic memory. The
DTC will stay in electronic memory as long as the
circuit continues to be bad. The PCM is programmed
to clear the memory after 50 engine starts, if the
problem does not occur again.
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) are two-digit num-
bers flashed on the malfunction indicator (Check En-
gine) lamp that identify which circuit is bad. A DTC
description can also be read using the DRB scan tool.
Refer to Group 14 - Fuel Systems for more informa-
tion.
A DTC does not identify which component in a cir-
cuit is bad. Thus, a DTC should be treated as a
symptom, not as the cause for the problem. In some
cases, because of the design of the diagnostic test
procedure, a DTC can be the reason for another DTC
to be set. Therefore, it is important that the test pro-
cedures be followed in sequence, to understand what
caused a DTC to be set.
See Speed Control Diagnostic Trouble Code chart
for DTC's which apply to the speed control system.Refer to the Powertrain Diagnostic Procedures man-
ual to diagnose an on-board diagnostic system trou-
ble code.
RETRIEVING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
To start this function, cycle the ignition switch ON-
OFF-ON-OFF-ON within 5 seconds. This will cause
any DTC stored in the PCM memory to be displayed.
The malfunction indicator (Check Engine) lamp will
display a DTC by flashing on and off. There is a
short pause between flashes and a longer pause be-
tween digits. All DTC's displayed are two-digit num-
bers, with a four-second pause between codes.
An example of a DTC is as follows:
(1) Lamp on for 2 seconds, then turns off.
(2) Lamp flashes 1 time pauses and then flashes 5
times.
(3) Lamp pauses for 4 seconds, flashes 3 times,
pauses, then flashes 4 times.
The two DTC's are 15 and 34. Any number of
DTC's can be displayed, as long as they are in mem-
ory. The lamp will flash until all stored DTC's are
displayed (55 = end of test).
If a DTC 15 is observed, see diagnosis for Vehicle
Speed Sensor in this group. If a DTC 34 is observed,
see diagnosis for Speed Control Servo and Power-
train Control Module in this group. Correct any prob-
lems found in your diagnosis, then recheck for DTC
after corrections are completed.
