1996 CHRYSLER VOYAGER warning light

ning light functions (for Canadian vehicles), and has
been designed with internal relays to take advantage
of low current switching requirements in the vehicle.
It is plugged into the junction block at positions
three and four (Fig. 1), where all wiring associated
with its operation is terminated. The junction block
is adjacent to and left of the steering column of the
vehicle. For diagnostic information refer to Group 8J,
Turn Signal and Flashers.
On vehicles built for use in the United States, only
position four is used. Vehicles built for use in Canada
utilize both positions three and four.
To gain access to the device, remove the lower
steering column cover and knee blocker. Refer to
Group 8E, Instrument Panel and Gauges.SYSTEM FUNCTION
The combination-flasher/DRL may be operated in
its hazard warning mode either with or without the
ignition circuit being active. However, in order to
operate in the turn signal mode or the DRL mode,
the ignition circuit must be completed to the module.
While the combination-flasher portion is idle, there
is no current drawn through the module. The device
does not become active in the turn signal or hazard
warning modes until a signal ground circuit is sup-
plied to either of the turn signal inputs or the hazard
warning input. With the ignition OFF, there is no
current drawn through the module.
While the ignition is ON, the front turn signal fil-
aments are illuminated steadily thus providing the
DRL function. The DRL function may be inhibited by
applying a signal ground input from either the park
brake circuit or the headlamp relay activation circuit.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES
When a vehicle experiences problems with the
headlamp system, verify the condition of the battery
connections, charging system, headlamp bulbs, wire
connectors, relay, high beam dimmer switch and
headlamp switch. Refer to Group 8W, Wiring Dia-
grams, for component locations and circuit informa-
tion.

GENERAL INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
GS vehicles use lighting on the interior and exte-
rior of the vehicle for illuminating and indicating
purposes. Lighting circuits are protected by fuses.
Lighting circuits require an overload protected power
source, on/off device, lamps and body ground to oper-
ate properly. Plastic lamps require a wire in the har-
ness to supply body ground to the lamp socket.
Replace sockets and bulbs that are corroded.
Some of the interior and exterior lighting functions
are governed by the body controller. The headlamp,
dome, and the door ajar switches provide signals to
the body controller. The body controller in turn acti-
vates relay(s) in order to provide either a ground or
feed line to the appropriate lamp(s).
Wire connectors can make intermittent contact or
become corroded. Before coupling wire connectors,
inspect the terminals inside the connector. Male ter-
minals should not be bent or disengaged from the
insulator. Female terminals should not be sprung
open or disengaged from the insulator. Bent and
sprung terminals can be repaired using needle nose
pliers and pick tool. Corroded terminals appear
chalky or green. Corroded terminals should be
replaced to avoid recurrence of the problem symp-
toms.Begin electrical system failure diagnosis by testing
related fuses in the fuse block and power distribution
center. Verify that bulbs are in good condition and
test continuity of the circuit ground. Refer to Group
8W, Wiring Diagrams, for component location and cir-
cuit information.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: EYE PROTECTION SHOULD BE USED
WHEN SERVICING GLASS COMPONENTS. PER-
SONAL INJURY CAN RESULT.
CAUTION: Do not touch the glass of halogen bulbs
with fingers or other possibly oily surface, reduced
bulb life will result.
Do not use bulbs with higher candle power than
indicated in the Bulb Application table at the end of
this group. Damage to lamp and/or Daytime Run-
ning Lamp Module can result.
Do not use fuses, circuit breakers or relays hav-
ing greater amperage value than indicated on the
fuse panel or in the Owners Manual.
When it is necessary to remove components to ser-
vice another, it should not be necessary to apply
excessive force or bend a component to remove it.
Before damaging a trim component, verify hidden
fasteners or captured edges are not holding the com-
ponent in place.

CLEANING AND INSPECTION
HEADLAMP CLEANING
This vehicle is equipped with plastic headlights
that are lighter and less susceptible to stone break-
age than glass headlights.
This plastic is not as scratch resistant as glass and
therefore a different lens cleaning procedures must
be followed.
To minimize the possibility of scratching the lenses
and reducing light output, avoid wiping with a dry
cloth. To remove road dirt, wash with a mild soap
solution followed by rinsing with water.
Do not use abrasive cleaning components, solvents,
steel wool or other aggressive material to clean the
lenses.

ACM monitors the system to determine the system
readiness. The ACM contains on-board diagnostics
and will light the AIRBAG warning lamp in the mes-
sage center when a problem occurs.
The driver and passenger airbag system is a safety
device designed to reduce the risk of fatality or seri-
ous injury, caused by a frontal impact of the vehicle.
The impact sensor provides verification of the
direction and severity of the impact. One impact sen-
sor is used. It is located inside the Airbag Control
Module (ACM) which is mounted on a bracket, just
forward of the center console. The impact sensor is
an accelerometer that senses deceleration. The decel-
eration pulses are sent to a microprocessor which
contains a decision algorithm. When an impact is
severe enough to require airbag protection, the ACM
micro processor sends a signal that completes the
electrical circuit to the driver and passenger airbags.
The sensor is calibrated for the specific vehicle and
reacts to the severity and direction of the impact.
CLOCKSPRING
The clockspring is snapped into a plastic mounting
platform on the steering column behind the steering
wheel. The clockspring is used to maintain a contin-
uous electrical circuit between the wiring harness
and the driver's airbag module. This assembly con-
sists of a flat ribbon like electrically conductive tape
which winds and unwinds with the steering wheel
rotation.
DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIRBAG MODULES
The Driver Airbag Module is located in the center
of the steering wheel. The Passenger Airbag Module
is located in the instrument panel above the glove
box (Fig. 1). The Driver Airbag Module cover contains
the horn switch, inflator device, and a fabric bag. The
airbag cover/horn switch is serviced separately from
the inflator and bag components. Refer to Group 8G,
Horns for proper service procedure for horn switch.
The Passenger Airbag Module is serviced as an
assembly.

8U - 2 CHIME WARNING/REMINDER SYSTEMNS/GS
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING (Continued)

SEAT BELT CHIME
The seat belt chime will sound for 4 to 8 seconds,
when the ignition is turned on and the driver's seat
belt is not buckled (seat belt switch is closed to
ground). This is a reminder to the driver to buckle
the seat belt. The seat belt lamp is controlled by the
mechanical instrument cluster. The cluster will also
illuminate the seat belt warning lamp for 6 seconds.
Buckling the driver's seat belt before the time out
has expired will cause the chime to stop immediately.
Chime rate: 38 to 62 chimes per minute.
To test the seat belt warning system, the ignition
switch must be in the OFF position for 1 minute
before starting the test. Turn the ignition switch to
the on position with the driver's seat belt not buck-
led. The seat belt warning lamp should light and the
chime should sound 4 to 8 seconds.
SEAT BELT LAMP
The seat belt lamp in the instrument cluster sig-
nals the vehicle passengers to fasten their seat belts.
The seat belt lamp is illuminated directly by the
instrument cluster for 6 seconds after the instrument
cluster receives the message from the Body Control
Module. The seat belt lamp is therefore illuminated
for 6 seconds whenever the ignition switch is moved
to run/start position.
(1) While ignition is off, the seat belt lamp will not
be illuminated.
(2) The ignition power feed status will be updated
every 250 milliseconds or on change.
(3) This lamp will be checked by the instrument
cluster for 6 seconds with every run/start cycle of the
ignition switch.
TURN SIGNAL ON CHIME
The turn signal on chime will warn the driver that
the turn signals have been left on. When the Body
Control Module receives a turn signal input for 1.6
km (1.0 miles), vehicle speed is greater than 24 km/h
(15 mph), the chime will sound continuously until the
turn signal is turned OFF. If vehicle speed drops
below 24 km/h (15 mph) prior to the warning being
activated, the accumulated distance traveled will be
reset. The turn signal chime is not activated whenthe emergency flashers are turned on. This feature
can also be disabled in EEPROM. Chime rate: 38 to
62 chimes per minute.
For the turn signal warning system to operate:
²Must have input from either the right or left
turn signal lamps. Creates a voltage change between
0 and battery voltage.
²The vehicle speed sensor sends a message to the
Powertrain Control Module that vehicle has exceeded
24 km/h (15 mph) for 1.6 km (1.0 miles).
²When the above two conditions are met, the
chime will sound. The chime will stop when no fur-
ther voltage change is detected.
²If hazard warning signals are pulsing, no chime
will sound.
²If speed drops below 24 km/h (15 mph) before
the warning is issued, the warning will not be issued
and the distance counter will be reset.
²If turn signal lamps are not working properly,
the chime will not sound.
²When using the scan tool, refer to the proper
Body Diagnostic Manual for the procedure.
WARNING LAMP ANNOUNCEMENT CHIME
The warning lamp announcement chime will warn
the driver to scan the instrument cluster to observe
which warning lamp is illuminated. Whenever the
volts, low fuel, low washer fluid, coolant level (gas/
diesel), low coolant level, engine temperature high
(diesel only), door ajar or gate ajar lamps are first
illuminated, the chime will sound one tone. The door/
liftgate ajar warning lamp announcement chime
sounds only if the vehicle speed is above 2 m.p.h.
Two seconds after ignition switch is turned ON or
until the seat belt warning chime ends, all warning
announcement chimes will be consolidated into one
warning announcement. This will occur 2 seconds
after the seat belt warning chime ends. If a warning
announcement should occur while another warning
chime in progress (turn signal, low oil pressure or
high speed warnings), no additional chimes will
sound after the chime in progress ends. All associ-
ated lamps will be illuminated, and the active chime
will be the warning announcement.
