vehicles with a manual transmission, the clutch
pedal must be fully depressed for this test. Check for
battery voltage at the cavity for relay terminal 86
with the ignition switch in the Start position, and no
voltage when the ignition switch is released to the
On position. If OK, go to Step 5. If not OK with an
automatic transmission, check for an open or short
circuit to the ignition switch and repair, if required.
If the circuit to the ignition switch is OK, see the
Ignition Switch Test procedure in this group. If not
OK with a manual transmission, check the circuit
between the relay and the clutch pedal position
switch for an open or a short. If the circuit is OK, see
the Clutch Pedal Position Switch Test procedure in
this group.
(5) The coil ground terminal (85) is connected to
the electromagnet in the relay. On vehicles with an
automatic transmission, it is grounded through the
park/neutral position switch only when the gearshift
selector lever is in the Park or Neutral positions. On
vehicles with a manual transmission, it is grounded
at all times. Check for continuity to ground at the
cavity for relay terminal 85. If not OK with an auto-
matic transmission, check for an open or short circuit
to the park/neutral position switch and repair, if
required. If the circuit is OK, see the Park/Neutral
Position Switch Test procedure in this group. If not
OK with a manual transmission, repair the circuit to
ground as required.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING (Continued)

GENERATOR
The generator is belt-driven by the engine. It is
serviced only as a complete assembly. If the genera-
tor fails for any reason, the entire assembly must be
replaced.
As the energized rotor begins to rotate within the
generator, the spinning magnetic field induces a cur-
rent into the windings of the stator coil. Once the
generator begins producing sufficient current, it also
provides the current needed to energize the rotor.
The Y type stator winding connections deliver the
induced AC current to 3 positive and 3 negative
diodes for rectification. From the diodes, rectified DC
current is delivered to the vehicle electrical system
through the generator, battery, and ground terminals.
Noise emitting from the generator may be caused
by:
²Worn, loose or defective bearings
²Loose or defective drive pulley
²Incorrect, worn, damaged or misadjusted drive
belt
²Loose mounting bolts
²Misaligned drive pulley
²Defective stator or diode
BATTERY TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The temperature sensor, in the PCM, is used to
determine the battery temperature. This temperature
data, along with data from monitored line voltage, is
used by the PCM to vary the battery charging rate.
System voltage will be higher at colder temperatures
and is gradually reduced at warmer temperatures.
ELECTRONIC VOLTAGE REGULATOR
The Electronic Voltage Regulator (EVR) is not a
separate component. It is actually a voltage regulat-
ing circuit located within the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM). The EVR is not serviced separately. If
replacement is necessary, the PCM must be replaced.
Operation:The amount of DC current produced
by the generator is controlled by EVR circuitry con-
tained within the PCM. This circuitry is connected in
series with the generators second rotor field terminal
and its ground.
Voltage is regulated by cycling the ground path to
control the strength of the rotor magnetic field. The
EVR circuitry monitors system line voltage and bat-
tery temperature (refer to Battery Temperature Sen-
sor for more information). It then compensates and
regulates generator current output accordingly. Also
refer to Charging System Operation for additional
information.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
CHARGING SYSTEM
When the ignition switch is turned to the ON posi-
tion, battery potential will register on the voltmeter.
During engine cranking a lower voltage will appear
on the meter. With the engine running, a voltage
reading higher than the first reading (ignition in ON)
should register.
The following are possible symptoms of a charging
system fault:
²The voltmeter does not operate properly
²An undercharged or overcharged battery condi-
tion occurs.
Remember that an undercharged battery is often
caused by:
²Accessories being left on with the engine not
running
²A faulty or improperly adjusted switch that
allows a lamp to stay on. See Ignition-Off Draw Test
in Group 8A, Battery for more information.
The following procedures may be used to correct a
problem diagnosed as a charging system fault.
INSPECTION
(1) Inspect condition of battery cable terminals,
battery posts, connections at engine block, starter
solenoid and relay. They should be clean and tight.
Repair as required.
(2) Inspect all fuses in the fuseblock module and
Power Distribution Center (PDC) for tightness in
receptacles. They should be properly installed and
tight. Repair or replace as required.
(3) Inspect the electrolyte level in the battery.
Replace battery if electrolyte level is low.
(4) Inspect generator mounting bolts for tightness.
Replace or tighten bolts if required. Refer to the Gen-
erator Removal/Installation section of this group for
torque specifications.
(5) Inspect generator drive belt condition and ten-
sion. Tighten or replace belt as required. Refer to
Belt Tension Specifications in Group 7, Cooling Sys-
tem.
(6) Inspect automatic belt tensioner (if equipped).
Refer to Group 7, Cooling System for information.
(7) Inspect connections at generator field, battery
output, and ground terminals. Also check ground con-
nection at engine. They should all be clean and tight.
Repair as required.

GENERAL INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
This group describes the ignition systems for the
2.4, 3.0, and 3.3/3.8L engines.
On Board Diagnostics is described in Group 25 -
Emission Control Systems.
Group 0 - Lubrication and Maintenance, contains
general maintenance information for ignition related
items. The Owner's Manual also contains mainte-
nance information.
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE
The ignition system is regulated by the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) (Fig. 1). The PCM supplies
battery voltage to the ignition coil through the Auto
Shutdown (ASD) Relay. The PCM also controls
ground circuit for the ignition coil. By switching the
ground path for the coil on and off, the PCM adjusts
ignition timing to meet changing engine operating
conditions.
During the crank-start period the PCM advances
ignition timing a set amount. During engine opera-
tion, the amount of spark advance provided by the
PCM is determined by the following input factors:
NSIGNITION SYSTEM 8D - 1

Clean Spark Plug cables with a cloth moistened
with a non-flammable solvent. Wipe the cables dry.
Check for brittle or cracked insulation.
SPARK PLUG CABLESÐ3.3/3.8L
The spark plug cables and spark plug boots are
made from high temperature silicone materials. The
spark plug boots utilize metal heat shields for ther-
mal protection from the exhaust manifold. The heat
shields slide over the spark plug boots. The notches
on the heat shields ensure the spark plug boot and
shield twist together during spark plug boot removal.
They also identify proper heat shield installation on
the boot for service.Refer to 3.3/3.8L Spark Plug
Cable removal and installation.All spark plug
cable leads are properly identified with cylinder num-
bers. The inside of the spark plug boot is coated with
a special high temperature silicone grease for greater
sealing and to minimize boot bonding to the spark
plug insulator. The convoluted tubing on the rear
plug cables are made of a high temperature plastic
material. Under normal driving conditions, the spark
plug cables have a recommended service life of a
100,000 miles. The spark plugs have a recommended
service life of 75,000 miles for severe driving condi-
tions per schedule B in this manual.
The spark plug heat shield can be reused if an
ignition cable is replaced due to failure. Never reuse
heat shield's that have heat shield anti-twist, side or
spark plug attachment tabs bent or missing. Ensure
that the heat shield is properly attached to the spark
plug to avoid RFI problems. The bottom of the spark
plug heat shield must make contact with the spark
plug hex.
The front ignition cables must not make contact
with the oil dip stick tube and #5 cable must not
touch the coil mounting bolt to avoid abrasion/dielec-
tric failures.
IGNITION COIL
WARNING: THE DIRECT IGNITION SYSTEM GEN-
ERATES APPROXIMATELY 40,000 VOLTS. PER-
SONAL INJURY COULD RESULT FROM CONTACT
WITH THIS SYSTEM.
The ignition coil assembly consists of 3 indepen-
dent coils molded together (Fig. 4). The coil assembly
is mounted on the intake manifold. Spark plug cables
route to each cylinder from the coil. The coil fires two
spark plugs every power stroke. One plug is the cyl-
inder under compression, the other cylinder fires on
the exhaust stroke. The Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) determines which of the coils to charge and
fire at the correct time.
Coil 1 fires cylinders 1 and 4, coil 2 fires cylinders
2 and 5, coil 3 fires cylinders 3 and 6.The Auto Shutdown (ASD) relay provides battery
voltage to the ignition coil. The PCM provides a
ground contact (circuit) for energizing the coil. When
the PCM breaks the contact, the energy in the coil
primary transfers to the secondary causing the
spark. The PCM will de-energize the ASD relay if it
does not receive the crankshaft position sensor and
camshaft position sensor inputs. Refer to Auto Shut-
down (ASD) RelayÐPCM Output, in this section for
relay operation.
AUTOMATIC SHUTDOWN (ASD) RELAY
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) operates
the Auto Shutdown (ASD) relay by switching the
ground path on and off.
The ASD relay supplies battery voltage to the fuel
injectors, electronic ignition coil and the heating ele-
ments in the oxygen sensors.
The PCM controls the relay by switching the
ground path for the solenoid side of the relay on and
off. The PCM turns the ground path off when the
ignition switch is in the Off position unless the 02
Heater Monitor test is being run. Refer to Group 25,
On-Board Diagnostics. When the ignition switch is in
the On or Crank position, the PCM monitors the
crankshaft position sensor and camshaft position sen-
sor signals to determine engine speed and ignition
timing (coil dwell). If the PCM does not receive the
crankshaft position sensor and camshaft position sen-
sor signals when the ignition switch is in the Run
position, it will de-energize the ASD relay.
The ASD relay is located in the Power Distribution
Center (PDC). The PDC is located on the driver's
side inner fender well (Fig. 5). A label on the under-
side of the PDC cover identifies the relays and fuses
in the PDC.

GENERAL INFORMATION (Continued)

(3) Remove ignition cables from the secondary tow-
ers of the coil. Measure the secondary resistance of
the coil between the towers of each individual coil
(Fig. 21). Secondary resistance should be 7,000 to
15,800 ohms. Replace the coil if resistance is not
within tolerance.
FAILURE TO START TEST
This no-start test checks the camshaft position sen-
sor and crankshaft position sensor.
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) supplies 8
volts to the camshaft position sensor and crankshaft
position sensor through one circuit. If the 8 volt sup-
ply circuit shorts to ground, neither sensor will pro-
duce a signal (output voltage to the PCM).
When the ignition key is turned and left in the On
position, the PCM automatically energizes the Auto
Shutdown (ASD) relay. However, the controller de-en-
ergizes the relay within one second because it has
not received a camshaft position sensor signal indi-
cating engine rotation.
During cranking, the ASD relay will not energize
until the PCM receives a camshaft position sensor
signal. Secondly, the ASD relay remains energized
only if the controller senses a crankshaft position
sensor signal immediately after detecting the cam-
shaft position sensor signal.
(1) Check battery voltage. Voltage should be
approximately 12.66 volts or higher to perform fail-
ure to start test.
(2) Disconnect the harness connector from the coil
pack.
(3) Connect a test light to the B+ (battery voltage)
terminal of the coil electrical connector and ground
as shown in (Fig. 22). The B+ wire for the DIS coil is
dark green with an orange tracer.Do not spread
the terminal with the test light probe.(4) Turn the ignition key to theON position.The
test light should flash On and then Off.Do not turn
the Key to off position, leave it in the On posi-
tion.
(a) If the test light flashes momentarily, the
PCM grounded the Auto Shutdown (ASD) relay.
Proceed to step 5.
(b) If the test light did not flash, the ASD relay
did not energize. The cause is either the relay or
one of the relay circuits. Use the DRB scan tool to
test the ASD relay and circuits. Refer to the appro-
priate Powertrain Diagnostics Procedure Manual.
Refer to the wiring diagrams section for circuit
information.
(5) Crank the engine. (If the key was placed in the
off position after step 4, place the key in the On posi-
tion before cranking. Wait for the test light to flash
once, then crank the engine.)
(6) If the test light momentarily flashes during
cranking, the PCM is not receiving a crankshaft posi-
tion sensor signal. Use the DRB scan tool to test the
crankshaft position sensor and sensor circuits. Refer
to the appropriate Powertrain Diagnostics Procedure
Manual. Refer to the wiring diagrams section for cir-
cuit information.
(7) If the test light did not flash during cranking,
unplug the crankshaft position sensor connector.
Turn the ignition key to the off position. Turn the
key to the On position, wait for the test light to
momentarily flash once, then crank the engine. If the
test light momentarily flashes, the crankshaft posi-
tion sensor is shorted and must be replaced. If the
light did not flash, the cause of the no-start is in

GENERAL INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
Operating instructions for the factory installed
audio systems can be found in the Owner's Manual
provided with the vehicle.
NS vehicles are equipped with an Ignition Off
Draw (IOD) fuse in the power distribution center
located in the engine compartment. After the IOD
fuse or battery has been disconnected, the radio sta-
tion sets and clock will require resetting.
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
ANTENNA
All models use a fixed-length stainless steel rod-
type antenna mast, installed at the right front fender
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
antenna base and the radio chassis.
The antenna coaxial cable has an additional dis-
connect, located near the right end of the instrument
panel. This additional disconnect allows the instru-
ment panel assembly to be removed and installed
without removing the radio.
The factory-installed Electronically Tuned Radios
(ETRs) automatically compensate for radio antenna
trim. Therefore, no antenna trimmer adjustment isrequired or possible when replacing the receiver or
the antenna.
INTERFERENCE ELIMINATION
Some components used on the vehicles are
equipped with a capacitor to suppress radio fre-
quency interference/static.
Capacitors are mounted in various locations inter-
nal to the generator, instrument cluster and wind-
shield wiper motor.
To eliminate radio interference, ground straps are
used in different areas of the vehicle. These ground
circuits should be securely tightened to assure good
metal to metal contact. The ground straps conduct
very small high frequency electrical signals to ground
and require clean surface contact area. The radio
ground is supplied from the instrument panel har-
ness and is attached to the rear of the radio. Some
engines have other ground straps to eliminate fur-
ther radio interference:
²Radio chassis to instrument panel structure
²Engine to dash panel
²Engine to chassis
²A/C h valve to dash panel
Radio resistance type spark plug cables in the high
tension circuit of the ignition system complete the
interference suppression. Faulty or deteriorated
spark plug wires should be replaced.
RADIOS
Available factory-installed radio receivers for this
model include an AM/FM/cassette (RAS sales code),
an AM/FM/cassette/5-band graphic equalizer with CD
changer control feature (RBN sales code), an AM/FM/
NSAUDIO SYSTEMS 8F - 1

bracket behind the junction block/body control mod-
ule (Fig. 5).
REMOTE RADIO SWITCHES
A remote radio control switch option is available on
LXI models sold in North America with the AM/FM/
cassette/5-band graphic equalizer with CD changer
control feature (RBN sales code), or the AM/FM/CD/
cassette/3-band graphic equalizer (RAZ sales code)
radio receivers. Two rocker-type switches are
mounted on the back (instrument panel side) of the
steering wheel spokes. The switch on the left spoke is
the seek switch and has seek up, seek down, and pre-
set station advance functions. The switch on the
right spoke is the volume control switch and has vol-
ume up, and volume down functions (Fig. 6).
These switches are resistor multiplexed units that
are hard-wired to the Body Control Module (BCM)
through the clockspring. The BCM sends the propermessages on the Chrysler Collision Detection (CCD)
data bus network to the radio receiver. For diagnosis
of the BCM or the CCD data bus, the use of a DRB
scan tool and the proper Diagnostic Procedures man-
ual are recommended. For more information on the
operation of the remote radio switch controls, refer to
the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box.
NAME BRAND SPEAKER RELAY
Relay is located in the junction block. To test relay
refer to the Audio Diagnostic Test Procedures or use
a known good relay.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
ANTENNA
WARNING: ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIR-
BAGS, REFER TO GROUP 8M - PASSIVE
RESTRAINT SYSTEMS BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY
STEERING WHEEL, STEERING COLUMN, OR
INSTRUMENT PANEL COMPONENT DIAGNOSIS OR
SERVICE. FAILURE TO TAKE THE PROPER PRE-
CAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL AIR-
BAG DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL
INJURY.
The following four tests are used to diagnose the
antenna with an ohmmeter:
²Test 1- Mast to ground test
²Test 2- Tip-of-mast to tip-of-conductor test
²Test 3- Body ground to battery ground test
²Test 4- Body ground to coaxial shield test.
The ohmmeter test lead connections for each test
are shown in Antenna Tests (Fig. 7).
NOTE: This model has a two-piece antenna coaxial
cable. Tests 2 and 4 must be conducted in two
steps to isolate a coaxial cable problem; from the
coaxial cable connection under the right end of the
instrument panel near the right cowl side panel to
the antenna base, and then from the coaxial cable
connection to the radio chassis connection.
TEST 1
Test 1 determines if the antenna mast is insulated
from the base. Proceed as follows:
(1) Unplug the antenna coaxial cable connector
from the radio chassis and isolate.
(2) Connect one ohmmeter test lead to the tip of
the antenna mast. Connect the other test lead to the
antenna base. Check for continuity.
(3) There should be no continuity. If continuity is
found, replace the faulty or damaged antenna base
and cable assembly.
