1996 CHRYSLER VOYAGER engine overheat

FASTEN SEAT BELT LAMP OR TONE
CONTINUES FOR MORE THAN 10 SECONDS
AFTER SEAT BELTS ARE FASTENED AND
DRIVER'S DOOR IS CLOSED.
(1) Check left door ajar switch for no ground when
switch is depressed.
(a) If continuity replace door ajar switch.
(b) If NO continuity replace BCM for tone condi-
tion, or replace mechanical instrument panel for
lamp condition.
(c) Replace BCM for tone condition.
(d) Replace mechanical instrument cluster for
lamp condition.
NO TONE WHEN PARK OR HEADLAMPS ARE
ON AND DRIVER'S DOOR IS OPEN.
(1) Check left door ajar switch for good ground
when driver's door is open. Repair as necessary.
(2) Inspect BCM connectors and wires for proper
connection. If OK, replace BCM for tone condition.
DOME LAMP ON CHIME
The dome lamp on chime will warn the driver that
the dome lamps have been left on.
With the ignition is OFF:
²Driver's door OPEN (door ajar switch is closed to
ground)
²Dome lamps are ON (dome lamp switch is closed
to ground),
The chime will sound continuously until driver's
door is closed, dome lamps tuned OFF or until the
battery protection time out of 15 minutes has
expired. Refer Group 8L, Lamps proper procedures.
Chime rate: 168 to 192 chimes per minute.
ENGINE TEMPERATURE CRITICAL CHIME
The engine temperature critical chime will warn
the driver that the vehicle's engine is overheating.
While monitoring the coolant temperature, the Pow-
ertrain Control Module (PCM) will send on the CCD
bus as engine temperature every 1.376 seconds to the
Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM calculates
engine temperature and determines if a warning
should occur. This feature is functional only with the
Ignition Switch in the Run/Start position. On the
Diesel vehicles, the coolant temperature sensor is
read directly by the BCM.
When the engine temperature reaches 122ÉC
(252ÉF) or the diesel engine 112ÉC (234ÉF), the BCM
will chime one tone and the engine temperature lamp
comes ON. The BCM turns OFF the lamp when the
engine temperature reaches 117ÉC (242ÉF) or the die-
sel engine 108ÉC (226ÉF). The BCM will chime con-
tinuously when the engine temperature reaches
125ÉC (257ÉF) or diesel engine 116ÉC (241ÉF). The
chime will turn OFF after four minutes or when thetemperature reaches 117ÉC (242ÉF) or diesel engine
108ÉC (226ÉF), which ever occurs first.
EXTERIOR LAMPS ON CHIME
The exterior lamp on chime will warn the driver
that the exterior lights have been left on.
With the ignition switch OFF:
²Driver's door is open (door ajar switch is closed
to ground)
²Parking lamps or headlamps ON (parking lamp
switch is closed to ground)
The chime will sound until lights are turned OFF,
driver's door closed or until the battery protection
time out of 3 minutes has expired.
Refer to Group 8L, Lamps, for proper service pro-
cedures. Chime rate: 168 to 192 chimes per minute.
To test the exterior lamps left on function:
²Turn ignition off
²Remove ignition key
²Turn exterior lamps on with driver's door open.
Chime should sound until lamps are turned off or
driver's door is closed.
KEY-IN IGNITION CHIME
The key-in ignition chime will act as a warning to
the driver that the ignition key has been left in the
ignition switch.
With the ignition switch is in OFF position ONLY:
²Driver's door is open/ajar (door ajar switch is
closed to ground)
²Key is in the ignition switch (key-in ignition
switch is closed to ground)
The chime will sound until one of the above condi-
tions is removed. Chime rate: 168 to 192 chimes per
minute.
To test the key-in ignition function, insert key into
the ignition and open driver's door. Do not turn igni-
tion ON. Chime should sound until key is removed
from ignition or driver's door is closed.
LOW OIL PRESSURE CHIME OPERATION
The low oil pressure chime will warn the driver
that the engine oil pressure is low. The oil pressure
switch, will close to ground during a low oil pressure
condition. The oil pressure lamp will illuminate in
the message center. The body control module will
monitor the oil pressure switch and signal a low oil
pressure condition. A continuous four minute warn-
ing chime will sound and the oil pressure lamp will
come ON when the following conditions are met:
²Ignition on and engine not cranking
²Engine running at 420 to 480 rpm for 10 sec-
onds
²Oil pressure switch closed to ground for (1 sec-
ond minimum, 2 seconds maximum)
Chime rate: 168 to 192 chimes per minute.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING (Continued)

AIR CONDITIONING (A/C) CONTROLSÐPCM
INPUTS
The A/C control system information applies to fac-
tory installed air conditioning units.
A/C REQUEST SIGNAL:When either the A/C or
Defrost mode has been selected and the A/C low and
high±pressure switches are closed, an input signal is
sent to the powertrain control module (PCM). The
PCM uses this input to cycle the A/C compressor
through the A/C relay.
If the A/C low or high±pressure switch opens, the
PCM will not receive an A/C request signal. The
PCM will then remove the ground from the A/C relay.
This will deactivate the A/C compressor clutch. Also,
if the engine coolant reaches a temperature outside
normal of its normal range, or it overheats, the PCM
will deactivate the A/C clutch.
BRAKE SWITCHÐPCM INPUT
When the brake light switch is activated, the PCM
receives an input indicating that the brakes are
being applied. After receiving this input, the PCM is
used to control the speed control system. There is a
Primary and a Secondary brake switch. The Second-
ary brake switch is closed until the brake pedal is
pressed.
DATA LINK CONNECTORÐPCM INPUT AND
OUTPUT
The 16±way data link connector (diagnostic scan
tool connector) links the Diagnostic Readout Box(DRB) scan tool with the PCM. The data link connec-
tor is located under the instrument panel near the
bottom of steering column (Fig. 7).
VEHICLE SPEED SENSORÐPCM INPUT
The vehicle speed sensor (Fig. 8) is located in the
extension housing of the transmission. The sensor
input is used by the PCM to determine vehicle speed
and distance traveled.
