REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect electrical connector from knock sen-
sor.
(2) Use a crow foot socket to remove the knock
sensor.
INSTALLATION
(1) Install knock sensor. Tighten knock sensor to

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES
NS vehicle instrument clusters are equipped with a
self diagnostic test feature to help identify electronic
problems. Prior to any test, perform Self Diagnostic
Test. The self diagnostic system monitors the CCD
bus messages. If an electronic problem occurs, a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be displayed in
the odometer window of the cluster.
The following CCD bus messages are continuously
monitored by the diagnostic system:
²Body Control Module
²Powertrain Control Module
²Transmission Control Module, if equipped
HEADLAMP SWITCH
Using a Digital Multimeter, equipped with a diode
test to perform the Headlamp Switch Test below (Fig.
1).
Switch position possibilities are open (no continu-
ity), continuity, resistance value in ohms, or diode
test. Use the values in the third column to determine
meter setting. If Headlamp Switch is not within spec-
ifications replace as necessary.
The Chrysler Town and Country is available with
optional Automatic Headlamps. For diagnosis, refer
to the proper Body Diagnostic Procedures Manual.
SELF DIAGNOSTIC TEST
To activate self diagnostic program:
(1) With the ignition switch in the OFF position,
depress the TRIP and RESET buttons.
(2) While holding the TRIP and RESET button
turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
(3) Continue to hold the TRIP and RESET buttons
until the word CODE appears in the odometer win-
dows (about five seconds) then release the buttons. If
a problem exists, the system will display Diagnostic
Trouble Codes (DTC's). If no problem exists, the code
999 (End Test) will momentarily appear.
DIM TEST
When CHEC-0 is displayed in the odometer win-
dow, the cluster's vacuum fluorescent (VF) displayswill dim down. If the VF display brightness does no
change, a problem exists in the cluster.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (Continued)

(2) Connect wire connector into back of instrument
cluster.
(3) Position instrument cluster in instrument
panel.
(4) Install instrument cluster mounting screws to
instrument panel.
(5) Install instrument cluster bezel.
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WITH MECHANICAL
TRANSMISSION RANGE INDICATOR
REMOVAL
(1) Remove the lower steering column cover.
(2) Remove the metal knee blocker panel.
(3) Disconnect the transmission range indicator
cable end from shift lever by flexing the HOOP on
the transmission shift cable rearward and slip the
indicator cable loop off the lever pin (Fig. 23).
(4) Disconnect the clip holding the indicator cable
to the steering column/transmission shift cable
bracket.
(5) Remove the instrument cluster bezel.
(6) Rotate top of the cluster rearward.
(7) Disconnect the wire connector from back of the
instrument cluster.
(8) Remove the instrument cluster carefully while
guiding the range indicator cable and guide tube
through the opening to avoid any damage (Fig. 24).
INSTALLATION
(1) Verify the free travel of the range indicator
cable from P to 1 by gently pulling on the cable and
relaxing the cable. DO NOT SNAP THE CABLE
ONCE IT IS PULLED.
(2) Position the instrument cluster in instrument
panel and route the indicator cable and guide tube
through the opening in the instrument panel. Posi-tion the cluster by leading the bottom in first, con-
nect the wire connector, and rotate upward.
(3) Install the screws to hold the instrument clus-
ter to the instrument panel.
(4) Install the instrument cluster bezel.
(5) Connect the clip to hold the indicator cable to
steering column/transmission shift cable bracket. The
indicator cable and guide tube should BOW towards
the passenger side of the vehicle (Fig. 25).
(6) Connect indicator cable loop end to shift lever
by flexing the hoop on the transmission shift cable
rearward, then slip the indicator cable loop over the
shift lever pin and into the groove.
(7) Assuming the transmission shift system is
properly adjusted, place the shift lever in neutral N
position.
NOTE: The parking brake should have been
engaged for safety purposes.

GENERAL INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
The turn signals are actuated with a lever on the
left side of the steering column just ahead of the
steering wheel. The signals are automatically turned
off by a canceling cam (two lobes molded to the clock-
spring mechanism). The cam comes in contact with
the cancel actuator on the turn signal (multi-func-
tion) switch assembly. Either cam lobe, pushing on
the cancel actuator, returns the switch to the OFF
position.
Lane change signaling is actuated by applying par-
tial turn signal stalk movement toward the direction
desired until the indicator lamps flashes in the
instrument cluster. When the switch stalk is released
the stalk will spring back into the neutral position
turning OFF the turn signal.
With the ignition switch ON and the turn signal
switch stalk actuated left or right, current flows
through the:
²Combination flasher
²Multi-function switch
²Turn indicator lamp
²Front and rear turn signal bulbs.
A chime will sound after the vehicle has traveled a
distance of approximately 0.5 mile with the turn sig-
nal ON.
COMBINATION FLASHER
The Turn Signal/Hazard Warning Flasher is a
module providing the vehicle with turn signal and
hazard warning functions 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 position 4 (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.
To gain access to the flasher, remove the lower
steering column cover and knee blocker. Refer to
Group 8E, Instrument Panel and Systems for
removal procedures.

HEADLAMP ADJUSTMENT
A properly aimed low beam headlamp will project
the center of the low beam hot spot on the alignment
screen 229 mm (9 in.)650 mm (2 in.) below the
headlamp center line. The center of the hot spot
should be 100 mm (4 in.)650 mm (2 in.) right of the
headlamp center line (Fig. 2). The high beams on a
vehicle with aero headlamps cannot be aligned. The
high beam pattern should be correct when the low
beams are aligned properly.
To adjust headlamp alignment, rotate adjusting
screws to achieve the specified low beam hot spot
location (Fig. 3).
HEADLAMP ADJUSTMENT ± TOWN AND
COUNTRY
A properly aimed low beam headlamp will project
the center of the low beam hot spot on the alignment
screen 152 mm (6 in.)650 mm (2 in.) below the
headlamp center line. The center of the hot spot
should be 254 mm (10 in.)650 mm (2 in.) right of
the headlamp center line (Fig. 4). The high beams on
a vehicle with aero headlamps cannot be aligned. Thehigh beam pattern should be correct when the low
beams are aligned properly.

Prepare an alignment screen. Refer to the Align-
ment Screen Preparation paragraph in this section. A
properly aligned fog lamp will project a pattern on
the alignment screen 100 mm (4 in.) below the fog
lamp center line and straight ahead (Fig. 6). To
improve visual interpretation of the fog lamp pattern
on the alignment screen, disable the headlamps by
disengaging the wire connectors from the headlamp
bulbs.
The Town and Country fog lamp adjustment screw
is located through the lens (Fig. 7).
