GENERAL INFORMATION
GENERAL INFORMATION
Each vehicle is equipped with various lamp assem-
blies. A good ground is necessary for proper lighting
operation. Grounding is provided by the lamp socket
when it comes in contact with the metal body, or
through a separate ground wire.
When changing lamp bulbs check the socket for
corrosion. If corrosion is present, clean it with a wire
brush and coat the inside of the socket lightly with
Mopar Multi-Purpose Grease or equivalent.
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.
DAYTIME RUNNING LAMP MODULE
PL vehicles built for use in Canada are equipped
with a Daytime Running Lamp (DRL) system. The
DRL system operates the headlamps at 50% illumi-
nation with the headlamp switch OFF, park brake
released and the ignition ON. The DRL system is
controlled by the Daytime Running Lamp Module.
The DRL module overrides the headlamp switch
when the headlamps are turned OFF. The headlamps
operate normally when the headlamps are turned
ON.
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.

SERVICE PROCEDURES
CLEANUP PROCEDURE
Roll or fold the passenger airbag towards the
instrument panel surface and close the door over the
folded bag. Then tape the door shut.
Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any residual pow-
der from the vehicle interior. Work from the outside
in to avoid kneeling or sitting in a contaminated
area. Vacuum the heater and A/C outlets as well (Fig.
4). If the heater or air conditioner was in RECIRC
mode at time of airbag deployment, operate blower
motor on low speed and vacuum powder residue
expelled from the heater and A/C outlets. Multiple
vacuum cleaning may to necessary to decontaminate
the interior of the vehicle.
NOTE: Dispose deployed airbag properly, contact
dealer or government agency for disposal recom-
mendations.

HANDLING AIRBAG MODULE
DEPLOYED MODULE
The vehicle interior may contain a very small
amount of sodium hydroxide powder, a by-product of
airbag deployment. Sodium hydroxide powder can
irritate the skin, eyes, nose and throat. Wear safety
glasses, rubber gloves, and long sleeved clothing
when cleaning any of the powder residue from the
vehicle.
If you find that the cleanup is irritating your skin,
run cool water over the affected area. Also, if you
experience nasal or throat irritation, exit the vehicle
for fresh air until the irritation ceases. If irritation
continues, see a physician.
UNDEPLOYED
The airbag module(s) must be stored in its original
special container until used for service. At no time
should a source of electricity be permitted near the
inflator on the back of an airbag module. When car-
rying or handling an undeployed airbag module, the
trim side of the airbag should be pointing away from
the body to minimize possibility of injury if acciden-

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM
The Immobilizer system includes the following
unique items:
²An immobilizer module receiver that controls
system operation and also controls the RKE and Illu-
minated entry systems, if equipped.
²An encoded Crankshaft Position Sensor for the
ignition system. The Immobilizer module decodes the
signal from the crankshaft so the PCM can recognize
it as a valid Crankshaft Position Sensor signal, and
allow the engine to run.
²A wiring harness that interconnects the crank-
shaft sensor, the immobilizer receiver, and the PCM.
²Two key fob transmitters.
The Immobilizer System prevents unauthorized
operation of the vehicle by disabling the engine and
starter. The system will NOT allow the vehicle to
start unless the UNLOCK button on the RKE trans-
mitter is pressed. The system will be activated after
turning the ignition switch to the OFF position and
using one of the following methods.
(1) Press the LOCK button on the RKE transmit-
ter.
(2) LOCK the doors by pressing a power lock but-
ton switch.
(3) LOCK the driver or passenger door using the
key.
²The Security light will flash, for about 16 sec-
onds, indicating that the engine and starter will be
disabled.
²The Security light remaining on, indicates the
system is not operational.
²The Immobilizer will activate automatically
within 10 minutes of the ignition switch being in the
OFF position, whether the vehicle has been locked or
unlocked.²An attempt to start the vehicle without pressing
the UNLOCK button on the RKE transmitter will
result in a warning chime and the Security light
flashing.
NOTE: The ignition switch must be in the OFF posi-
tion in order for the system to be activated, whether
the doors are closed or not.
IMMOBILIZER RECEIVER
The immobilizer receiver is programmed to
respond to the Lock and Unlock radio signals issued
by the immobilizer transmitters. The receiver will
only respond to the radio signals of transmitters (up
to four) whose vehicle access codes have been stored
in the receiver's electronic memory. The receiver is
programmed at the assembly plant with the vehicle
access codes of the two transmitters that are shipped
with the vehicle.
The immobilizer receiver also has a central pro-
cessing unit, which contains the immobilizer system
logic. The programming in the immobilizer receiver
allows the system to learn and retain transmitter
vehicle access codes, as well as to communicate with
the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and/or the
DRB scan tool on the Chrysler Collision Detection
(CCD) data bus network.
The CCD data bus network allows the sharing of
sensor information. This helps to reduce wiring har-
ness complexity, reduce internal controller hardware,
and reduce component sensor current loads. At the
same time, the CCD data bus network provides
increased reliability and enhanced diagnostic capabil-
ities.
Each immobilizer transmitter has a different vehi-
cle access code, which must be programmed into the
memory of the immobilizer receiver in the vehicle in
order to operate the immobilizer system. A DRB scan
tool must be used to program new or additional
