The speed sensor generates 8 pulses per sensor
revolution. These signals, in conjunction with a
closed throttle signal from the throttle position sen-
sor, indicate a closed throttle deceleration to the
PCM. When the vehicle is stopped at idle, a closed
throttle signal is received by the PCM (but a speed
sensor signal is not received).
In addition to determining distance and vehicle
speed, the output from the sensor is used to control
speed control operation.
SPEED CONTROLÐPCM INPUTS
The speed control system provides five separate
inputs to the PCM; On/Off, Set, Resume/Accel, Cancel,
and Decel.. The On/Off input informs the PCM that
the speed control system has been activated. The Set
input informs the PCM that a fixed vehicle speed has
been selected. The Resume input indicates to the PCM
that the previous fixed speed is requested.
Speed control operation will start at 50 km/h±142
km/h (35±85 mph). The upper range of operation is
not restricted by vehicle speed. Inputs that affect
speed control operation are vehicle speed sensor and
throttle position sensor.
Refer to Group 8H for further speed control infor-
mation.
DIESEL PCM RELAYÐPCM INPUT
A 12 volt signal at this input indicates to the PCM
that the Diesel relay has been activated. The Diesel
relay is located in the PDC. The PDC is located next
to the battery in the engine compartment. For the
location of the relay within the PDC, refer to label on
PDC cover.
This input is used only to sense that the Diesel
relay is energized. If the PCM does not see 12 volts +
at this input when the Diesel relay should be acti-
vated, it will set a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC).
FIVE VOLT POWERÐPCM OUTPUT
This circuit supplies approximately 5 volts to
power the Accelerator Pedal Postion Sensor, Mass Air
Flow Sensor, and A/C Pressure Sensor.
ENGINE COOLANT GAUGEÐPCM OUTPUT
Refer to the Instrument Panel and Gauges group
for additional information.
ENGINE OIL PRESSURE GAUGEÐPCM OUTPUT
Refer to the Instrument Panel and Gauges group
for additional information.
GLOW PLUG LAMPÐPCM OUTPUT
The Glow Plug lamp (malfunction indicator lamp)
illuminates on the message center each time the igni-
tion (key) switch is turned on. It will stay on for
about two seconds as a bulb test.If the PCM receives an incorrect signal, or no sig-
nal from certain sensors or components, the lamp
BLINKS. This is a warning that the PCM has
recorded a system or sensor malfunction. It signals
an immediate need for service. There are only 5
HARD faults that can turn on this lamp to make it
blink.
SPEED CONTROLÐPCM OUTPUTS
These two circuits control the fuel quantity actua-
tor to regulate vehicle speed. Refer to Group 8H for
Speed Control information.
AIR CONDITIONING RELAYÐPCM OUTPUT
This circuit controls a ground signal for operation
of the A/C clutch relay. Also refer to Air Conditioning
(A/C) ControlsÐPCM Input for additional informa-
tion.
The A/C relay is located in the Power Distribution
Center (PDC). The PDC is located next to the battery
in the engine compartment. For the location of the
relay within the PDC, refer to label on PDC cover.
FUEL TIMING SOLENOIDÐPCM OUTPUT
The fuel timing solenoid is located on the bottom of
the fuel injection pump (Fig. 10).
This 12+ volt, pulse width modulated (duty±cycle)
output controls the amount of fuel timing (advance)
in the fuel injection pump. The higher the duty-

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (Continued)
²When the PCM energizes the Diesel PCM and
other relays, terminal 87 connects to terminal 30.
This is the On position. Terminal 87 supplies voltage
to the rest of the circuit.
TESTING
The following procedure applies to the Diesel PCM
and other relays.
(1) Remove relay from connector before testing.
(2) With the relay removed from the vehicle, use
an ohmmeter to check the resistance between termi-
nals 85 and 86. The resistance should be between 75
65 ohms.
(3) Connect the ohmmeter between terminals 30
and 87A. The ohmmeter should show continuity
between terminals 30 and 87A.
(4) Connect the ohmmeter between terminals 87
and 30. The ohmmeter should not show continuity at
this time.
(5) Connect one end of a jumper wire (16 gauge or
smaller) to relay terminal 85. Connect the other end
of the jumper wire to the ground side of a 12 volt
power source.
(6) Connect one end of another jumper wire (16
gauge or smaller) to the power side of the 12 volt
power source.Do not attach the other end of the
jumper wire to the relay at this time.
WARNING: DO NOT ALLOW OHMMETER TO CON-
TACT TERMINALS 85 OR 86 DURING THIS TEST.
(7) Attach the other end of the jumper wire to
relay terminal 86. This activates the relay. The ohm-meter should now show continuity between relay ter-
minals 87 and 30. The ohmmeter should not show
continuity between relay terminals 87A and 30.
(8) Disconnect jumper wires.
(9) Replace the relay if it did not pass the continu-
ity and resistance tests. If the relay passed the tests,
it operates properly. Check the remainder of the Die-
sel PCM and other relay circuits. Refer to group 8W,
Wiring Diagrams.
BOOST PRESSURE SENSOR
If the boost pressure sensor fails, the PCM records
a DTC into memory and continues to operate the
engine in one of the three ªlimp-inº modes. When the
PCM is operating in this mode, a loss of power will
be present, as if the turbocharger was not operating.
The best method for diagnosing faults with the boost
pressure sensor is with the DRB III scan tool.
Diagnostic Trouble Codes:Refer to On-Board

NOTE: The power steering pump is mounted below
the fuel pump on the left side of the engine. The
vehicle should be raised on a hoist to access the
pump from below.
REMOVAL
(1) Remove serpentine drive belt. Refer to Group 7,
Cooling System, for procedure.
(2) Remove power steering pump pulley. Use a hex
wrench to secure the power steering shaft while
removing the pulley bolt with a box wrench. (Fig. 2)
CAUTION: Do not use an impact wrench to remove
the pump pulley ± this can cause rear pump seal
damage. Do not secure power steering shaft with a
wrench on the coupling to the A/C compressor ±
this can cause rear pump seal damage.

SERVICE PROCEDURES (Continued)
Inspect all valve springs for distortion and col-
lapsed coils. Inspect all valves and plugs for burrs,
nicks, and scores. Small nicks and scores may be
removed with crocus cloth, providing extreme care is
taken not to round off sharp edges. The sharpness of
these edges is vitally important. It prevents foreign
matter from lodging between valve and valve body.
This reduces the possibility of sticking. Inspect all
valves and plugs for freedom of operation in valve
body bores.
When bores, valves, and plugs are clean and dry,
the valves and plugs should fall freely in the bores.
The valve body bores do not change its dimensions
with use. Therefore, a valve body that was function-
ing properly when vehicle was new, will operate cor-
rectly if it is properly and thoroughly cleaned. There
is no need to replace valve body unless it is damaged
in handling.
ADJUSTMENTS
GEARSHIFT CABLE ADJUSTMENT
Lift and rotate the gearshift hand lever into the
park (P) gate position and remove the ignition key.
This confirms the shift lever is in the gated park (P)
position.
After confirming the park gate position, turn the
ignition switch. If the starter will operate, the park
gate position is correct. Move the shift lever into the
neutral (N) position. If the starter will operate in this
position, the linkage is properly adjusted. If the
starter fails to operate in either position, linkage
adjustment is required.
(1) Park the vehicle on level ground and set the
parking brake.
(2) Place the gearshift lever in park (P) gate posi-
tion and remove key.
(3) Loosen the cable adjustment screw at the tran-
saxle operating lever (Fig. 160).
(4) Pull the transaxle operating lever fully forward
to the park detent position.
(5) Release the park brake, then rock the vehicle
to assure it is in park lock. Reset the park brake.
(6) Tighten the cable adjustment screw to 8 N´m
(70 in. lbs.). Gearshift cable should now be properly
adjusted.
(7) Verify PRNDL indicator still displays the corre-
sponding gear completely. If not, readjustment of
PRNDL may be required.
(8) Check adjustment by using the preceding pro-
cedure.
THROTTLE PRESSURE LINKAGE ADJUSTMENT
The throttle pressure rod adjustment is very
important to proper transaxle operation. This adjust-
ment positions a valve which controls shift speed,shift quality, and part throttle downshift sensitivity.
If the setting is too short, early shifts and slippage
between shifts may occur. If the setting is too long,
shifts may be delayed and part throttle downshifts
may be very sensitive.
With engine at operating temperature, adjust idle
speed of engine using a tachometer. Refer to Group
14, Fuel System for idle speed Specifications and
adjustment.
ROD ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
(1) Perform transaxle throttle pressure adjustment
while engine is at normal operating temperature.
(2) Loosen adjustment swivel lock screw.
(3) To insure proper adjustment, swivel must be
free to slide along flat end of throttle rod. Disassem-
ble and clean or repair parts to assure free action, if
necessary.
(4) Hold transaxle throttle lever firmly toward
engine, against its internal stop. Tighten swivel lock
screw to 11 N´m (100 in. lbs.)
(5) The adjustment is finished and linkage back-
lash was automatically removed by the preload
spring.
(6) I
f lubrication is required see Group 0, Lubrica-
tion.
BAND ADJUSTMENT
KICKDOWN BAND (FRONT)
The kickdown band adjusting screw is located on
left side (top front) of the transaxle case.
(1) Loosen locknut and back off nut approximately
five turns. Test adjusting screw for free turning in
the transaxle case.
(2) Using wrench, tighten adjusting screw to 8
N´m (72 in. lbs.).

CLEANING AND INSPECTION (Continued)
Improper inflation can cause:
²Uneven wear patterns
²Reduced tread life
²Reduced fuel economy
²Unsatisfactory ride
²The vehicle to drift.
Proper tire air inflation pressure specifications can
be found on the Vehicle Tire Placard provided with
the vehicle. See owner's manual.
Tire pressures have been chosen to provide safe
operation, vehicle stability, and a smooth ride. Tire
pressure should be checked cold once per month.
Check tire pressure more frequently when the
weather temperature varies widely. Tire pressure will
decrease when the outdoor temperature drops.
Tire inflation pressures specified on the placard
are always cold inflation pressure. Cold inflation
pressure is obtained after the vehicle has not been
operated for at least 3 hours, or the vehicle is driven
less than one mile after being inoperative for 3
hours. Tire inflation pressures may increase from 2
to 6 pounds per square inch (psi) during operation.
Do not reduce this normal pressure build-up.
TIRE PRESSURE FOR HIGH-SPEED DRIVING
Chrysler Corporation advocates driving at safe
speeds within posted speed limits. Where speed lim-
its allow the vehicle to be driven at high speeds, cor-
rect tire inflation pressure is very important. For
speeds up to and including 75 mph (120 km/h), tires
must be inflated to the pressures shown on the tire
placard.
Vehicles loaded to the maximum capacity should
not be driven at speeds above 75 mph (120 km/h).
For emergency vehicles that are driven at speeds
over 90 mph (144 km/h), special high-speed tires
must be used. Consult tire manufacturer for correct
inflation pressure recommendations.
REPLACEMENT TIRES
The original equipment tires provide a proper bal-
ance of many characteristics such as:
²Ride
²Noise
²Handling
²Durability
²Tread life
²Traction
²Rolling resistance
²Speed capability
It is recommend that tires equivalent to the origi-
nal equipment tires be used when replacement is
needed.
Failure to use equivalent replacement tires may
adversely affect the safety and handling of the vehicle.
The use of oversize tires not listed in the specifica-
tion charts may cause interference with vehicle com-
ponents. Under extremes of suspension and steering
travel, interference with vehicle components may
cause tire damage.
WARNING: FAILURE TO EQUIP THE VEHICLE WITH
TIRES HAVING ADEQUATE SPEED CAPABILITY
CAN RESULT IN SUDDEN TIRE FAILURE.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
PRESSURE GAUGES
A quality air pressure gauge is recommended to
check tire pressure. After checking the air pressure,
replace valve cap finger tight.
TREAD WEAR INDICATORS
Tread wear indicators are molded into the bottom
of the tread grooves. When tread depth is 1.6 mm
(1/16 in.), the tread wear indicators will appear as a
13 mm (1/2 in.) band (Fig. 4).
Tire replacement is necessary when indicators
appear in two or more grooves or if localized balding
occurs.

The Circuit Actuation Test Mode checks for proper
operation of output circuits or devices the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) may not internally recognize.
The PCM attempts to activate these outputs and
allow an observer to verify proper operation. Most of
the tests provide an audible or visual indication of
device operation (click of relay contacts, fuel spray,
etc.). Except for intermittent conditions, if a device
functions properly during testing, assume the device,
its associated wiring, and driver circuit work cor-
rectly.
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) indicates the
PCM has recognized an abnormal condition in the
system.
The preferred and most accurate method of retriev-
ing a DTC is by using the DRB scan tool. The scan
tool supplies detailed diagnostic information which
can be used to more accurately diagnose causes for a
DTC.
Remember that DTC's are the results of a sys-
tem or circuit failure, but do not directly iden-
tify the failed component or components.
NOTE: For a list of DTC's, refer to the charts in this
section.
BULB CHECK
Each time the ignition key is turned to the ON
position, the malfunction indicator (check engine)
lamp on the instrument panel should illuminate for
approximately 2 seconds then go out. This is done for
a bulb check.
OBTAINING DTC'S USING DRB SCAN TOOL
(1) Connect the DRB scan tool to the data link
(diagnostic) connector. This connector is located in
the passenger compartment; at the lower edge of
instrument panel; near the steering column.
(2) Turn the ignition switch on and access the
ªRead Faultº screen.
(3) Record all the DTC's and ªfreeze frameº infor-
mation shown on the DRB scan tool.
(4) To erase DTC's, use the ªErase Trouble Codeº
data screen on the DRB scan tool.Do not erase any
DTC's until problems have been investigated
and repairs have been performed.
