NOTE: When bleeding disc brakes, air may tend to cling to caliper
walls. Lightly tap caliper while bleeding to aid in removal
of air.
Manual Bleeding
1) Fill master cylinder. Install bleeder hose on first
bleeder valve to be serviced. See BLEEDING SEQUENCE table. Submerge
other end of hose in clean glass jar partially filled with clean brake
fluid.
NOTE: When bleeding brake system manually, ensure bleeder valve is
closed when brake pedal is released.
2) Open bleeder valve 3/4-1 turn. Depress brake pedal slowly
through full travel. Close bleeder valve. Release pedal. Repeat
procedure until fluid flow is free of air bubbles.
ADJUSTMENTS
PARKING BRAKE
1) Release parking brake, and loosen cable adjusting nut to
allow slack in cable. Adjust rear brakes. Tighten cable adjusting nut
until a slight drag is felt while rotating rear wheels.
2) Loosen cable adjusting nut until both rear wheels can be
rotated freely. Back off adjusting nut an additional 2 turns. Apply
and release parking brake several times, checking for free rotation at
rear wheels.
REAR BRAKE SHOES
1) Raise and support vehicle. Ensure parking brake lever is
fully released. Back off parking brake cable adjustment to ensure
cable has slack. Remove adjusting hole cover.
2) Using a brake adjuster, expand brake shoes until slight
drag is felt when wheel assembly is rotated. Using thin screwdriver,
hold automatic adjusting lever away from adjustment star wheel.
3) Back off adjustment star wheel until wheel assembly
rotates freely and brake shoe drag is eliminated. Repeat adjustment
for remaining wheels. Adjustment must be equal at all wheels. Replace
adjusting hole covers. Adjust parking brake. See PARKING BRAKE.
STOPLIGHT SWITCH
Stoplight switch is attached to brake pedal support. Push
stoplight switch through clip in mounting bracket until switch seats
in bracket. Pull brake pedal backward as far as pedal will travel.
Brake pedal will ratchet stoplight switch to correct position. Verify
full brake pedal return, and that stoplights glow when brake pedal is
applied.
TESTING
POWER BRAKE BOOSTER FUNCTIONAL TEST

converter lock-up. ECM uses various input signals such as transmission
temperature, output shaft speed, central module timer, engine speed,
APPS and brake switch position to determine operation of transmission
torque converter clutch solenoid. Transmission torque converter clutch
solenoid is located on transmission valve body.
FUEL SYSTEM
FUEL DELIVERY
Fuel Injection Pump
A camshaft-driven Bosch VP44 in-line fuel injection pump is
used to supply high pressure fuel to each fuel injector in precise
metered amounts at the correct time. See Fig. 2. The pump is timed to
camshaft gear. Pump output is controlled by integral Fuel Pump Control
Module (FPCM). Because of electronic control, idle speeds and pump
timing are not adjustable. See ON-VEHICLE ADJUSTMENTS - TRUCKS -
DIESEL article. FPCM can operate engine if crankshaft position sensor
signal does not exist. Fuel injection occurs near completion of
compression stroke for each cylinder.
Fuel injection pump contains an overflow valve which allows
excess fuel to return to the fuel tank. Overflow valve is located on
side of fuel injection pump and is used to attach the fuel return line
to the fuel injection pump.
Fuel Transfer Pump
Fuel transfer pump is located on driver's side of cylinder
block, above starter. See Fig. 2. A 12 volt, 12-amp electric vane-type
pump supplies low fuel pressure from fuel tank, through fuel
heater/fuel filter/water separator to fuel injection pump. Fuel
transfer pump contains internal check valves to prevent fuel from
bleeding back into fuel tank during engine shutdown. Pump will self
prime with ignition on for 2 seconds. Pump has 2 modes, 100 percent
duty cycle (10 psi) when engine is running and 25 percent duty cycle
(7 psi) when engine is cranking.
Fuel Filter/Water Separator
Fuel filter/water separator, located on left side of engine,
protects injection pump by removing water and contaminants from fuel.
See Fig. 2 . Assembly also includes fuel heater and Water-In-Fuel (WIF)
sensor.
In-Tank Fuel Filter
A separate in-tank fuel filter is attached to bottom of fuel
tank module. In-tank fuel filter does not require service under normal
conditions.
FUEL CONTROL
Fuel Injector
Fuel injector delivers atomized fuel into the cylinder.
During fuel injection, fuel pressure from fuel injection pump
increases to fuel injector opening pressure or pop pressure of 4500
psi (316 kg/cm

). This is the pressure required to lift fuel injector
needle valve from its seat, allowing fuel to be injected into the
cylinder. Once fuel pressure decreases to less then the opening
pressure, a spring forces needle valve closed and stops fuel injection
into the cylinders. Each fuel injector is connected to injection pump
by a high pressure (as much as 17,405 psi) line.
Fuel Injection Timing
Pump output is controlled by integral Fuel Pump Control

1999 ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT
CHRY - Power Windows
Caravan, Dakota, Durango, Ram Pickup, Ram Van, Ram Wagon,
Town & Country, & Voyager
DESCRIPTION & OPERATION
A permanent magnet motor moves each of the power windows,
including power vent windows. A positive and negative battery
connection to either of the 2 motor terminals will cause the motor to
rotate in one direction. Reversing current through these same 2
connections will cause the motor to rotate in the opposite direction.
Each individual motor is grounded through the master switch by a wire
attached to the instrument panel reinforcement.
Caravan, Durango, Town & Country and Voyager are equipped
with an Auto Down feature. Drivers window can be lowered without
having to hold the switch in the down position. Auto Down feature can
be activated by pressing down switch past first detent. Caravan, Town
& Country and Voyager have optional power vent windows. Power rear
vent windows are operated by switches mounted in driver's door panel.
NOTE: Power window circuits on Caravan, Town & Country, and Voyager
use Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) devices. The PTC
is a specified amperage solid-state resettable fuse. PTCs are
located in junction box behind driver's side of instrument
panel, to left of steering column. To reset PTC, all current
must be removed from PTC for approximately 20 seconds.
ADJUSTMENTS
WINDOWS
Remove door trim panel. See DOOR TRIM PANEL under REMOVAL &
INSTALLATION. Loosen bolts holding window to regulator. Raise window
fully, seating window in frame. Tighten bolts. Install door trim
panel.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
CARAVAN, TOWN & COUNTRY, & VOYAGER
Inspect both No. 8 and 9 (9-amp) PTCs in junction block.
Junction block is located under left side of instrument panel.
* Inspect fuse No. 23 (40-amp) in Power Distribution Center
(PDC). PDC is located on left side of engine compartment.
* Inspect ground at instrument panel left side cowl.

Inspect circuit breaker No. 20 (20-amp on Dakota, 25-amp on
Durango) in fuse block. Fuse block is located on left end of
instrument panel.
* Inspect fuse No. 9 (40-amp) in Power Distribution Center
(PDC). PDC is located in left front corner of engine
