QUARTER GLASS INTEGRAL
ANTENNA
DESCRIPTION
The quarter glass integral antenna element is
bonded to the right rear quarter glass and is replaced
with the glass assembly only (Fig. 1).
OPERATION
The integral antenna receives RF (Radio Frequen-
cies) and sends them to the antenna module for
amplification.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - QUARTER GLASS
INTEGRAL ANTENNA
The antenna grid pattern is divided into two sepa-
rate patterns. Each terminal connects to a separate
grid pattern, one for AM and the other for FM.
For circuit descriptions and diagrams, refer to the
appropriate wiring information. The wiring informa-
tion includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and con-
nector repair procedures, details of wire harness
routing and retention, connector pin-out information
and location views for the various wire harness con-
nectors, splices and grounds. To detect breaks in the
integral antenna elements, the following procedure is
required:
(1) Disconnect the antenna module connector from
the antenna terminals on the glass.
(2) Using an ohmmeter, place a lead on one of the
terminals and check each end of the grid pattern con-
nected to this terminal for continuity. If continuity is
not present, move one lead through the grid in pro-
gression starting at the terminal with the other lead
on the terminal until continuity is lost. Repeat pro-
cedure for the other terminal. A break in the antenna
grid can be repaired using a Mopar Rear Window
Defogger Repair Kit (Part Number 4267922) or
equivalent. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/HEATED
GLASS/WINDSHIELD GRID - STANDARD PROCE-
DURE).

ANTENNA MODULE
DESCRIPTION
The antenna module is an electromagnetic circuit
component designed to capture and enhance RF
(Radio Frequency) signals in both the AM and FM
broadcast bands. The antenna module is mounted to
the right rear roof rail under the headliner. The mod-
ule is grounded through the mounting bracket and
fastener. The module has a two wire electrical con-
nector that connects to the integral radio antenna,located on the right rear quarter glass. There is also
an electrical connector for battery voltage and a coax
cable connector.OPERATION
The antenna module receives both AM and FM
radio signals supplied by the side window integral
radio antenna system and selectively amplifies them.
The amplified signal is then sent through the body
length coax cable to the radio input.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - CHIME SYSTEM
NO TONE WHEN IGNITION SWITCH IS TURNED ON
AND DRIVER'S SEAT BELT IS NOT BUCKLED.
(1) Using a DRBIIItscan tool, actuate chime
(BCM actuates).
(2) Using a voltmeter, check for voltage:
(a) BCM has two battery feeds at pin 1 and pin
5 of the 6±way connector.
(b) Pin 5 of the (BX2) 32 way connector of the
BCM for ignition feed.
(c) Check voltage (PX2) connector, pin 34 for 12v.
(d) If voltage OK, go to step Step 3
(e) If NO voltage repair as necessary. Refer to
the appropriate wiring information. The wiring
information includes wiring diagrams, proper wire
and connector repair procedures, further details on
wire harness routing and retention, as well as pin-
out and location views for the various wire harness
connectors, splices and grounds.

FASTEN SEAT BELT LAMP OR TONE CONTINUES
FOR MORE THAN 10 SECONDS AFTER SEAT
BELTS ARE FASTENED AND DRIVER'S DOOR IS
CLOSED.
Refer to the proper Body Diagnostic Procedures
manual.
NO TONE WHEN PARK OR HEADLAMPS ARE ON
AND DRIVER'S DOOR IS OPEN.
Make sure ignition is in lock position with the key
removed.
(1) Check the BCM DTC's and BCM sensors to
verify the door is open. Repair as necessary.
(2) Actuate Chime (BCM actuates).
(3) Inspect BCM connectors and wires for proper
connection.
(4) Measure with a voltmeter the voltage (12v) on
BCM connector (PX2) pin 34 with harness connected.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - DOME LAMP ON
CHIME
The dome lamp on chime will warn the driver that
the dome lamps have been left on.
When the ignition is OFF:
²Driver's door OPEN (door ajar switch is closed to
ground) and
²Dome lamps are ON (dome lamp switch is closed
to ground),
The chime will sound continuously until driver's
door is closed, dome lamps tuned OFF or until the
battery protection time out of 15 minutes has
expired. Chime rate: 168 to 192 chimes per minute.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - ENGINE
TEMPERATURE CRITICAL CHIME
The engine temperature critical chime will warn
the driver that the vehicle's engine is overheating.
While monitoring the coolant temperature, the Pow-
ertrain Control Module (PCM) will send on the PCI
data bus as engine temperature every 1.376 seconds
to the cluster. The MIC calculates engine tempera-
ture and determines if a warning should occur. This
feature is functional only with the Ignition Switch in
the Run/Start position.
When the engine temperature reaches 122ÉC
(252ÉF) the MIC requests a chime from the BCM and
the engine temperature lamp comes ON. The MIC
turns OFF the lamp when the engine temperature
reaches 117ÉC (242ÉF). The MIC will chime continu-
ously (request from the BCM). The chime will turn
OFF after four minutes or when the temperature
reaches 117ÉC (242ÉF), which ever occurs first.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - EXTERIOR LAMPS
ON CHIME
The exterior lamp on chime will warn the driver
that the exterior lights have been left on.
With the ignition switch OFF/key out of ignition:
²Driver's door is open (door ajar switch is closed
to ground)
²Parking lamps or headlamps ON (parking lamp
switch is closed to ground)
The chime will sound until lights are turned OFF,
driver's door closed or until the battery protection
time out of 3 minutes has expired.
Chime rate: 168 to 192 chimes per minute.
To test the exterior lamps left on function:
²Turn ignition off
²Remove ignition key
²Turn exterior lamps on with driver's door open.
Chime should sound until lamps are turned off or
driver's door is closed.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - KEY-IN IGNITION
CHIME
The key-in ignition chime will act as a warning to
the driver that the ignition key has been left in the
ignition switch.
With the ignition switch is in OFF position ONLY:
²Driver's door is open/ajar (door ajar switch is
closed to ground)
²Key is in the ignition switch (ignition is in the
LOCK position)
The chime will sound until one of the above condi-
tions is removed or until battery protection time out
(15 min.) has expired. Chime rate: 168 to 192 chimes
per minute.
To test the key-in ignition function, insert key into
the ignition and open driver's door. Do not turn igni-
tion ON. Chime should sound until key is removed
from ignition or driver's door is closed.
For diagnosis and testing of the Key-In Accessory
chime, use the same testing procedure as above but
with the key in the accessory position.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - LOW OIL
PRESSURE CHIME
The low oil pressure chime will warn the driver
that the engine oil pressure is low. The oil pressure
switch will close to ground during a low oil pressure
condition. The oil pressure lamp will illuminate in
the message center. The PCM will monitor the oil
pressure switch and signal a low oil pressure condi-
tion. A continuous four minute warning chime will
sound and the oil pressure lamp will come ON when
the following conditions are met:
²Ignition on and engine not cranking
8B - 2 CHIME/BUZZERRS
CHIME/BUZZER (Continued)
Page 1821 of 4284

²Engine running at 420 to 480 rpm for 10 sec-
onds
²Oil pressure switch closed to ground for (1 sec-
ond minimum, 2 seconds maximum)
Chime rate: 168 to 192 chimes per minute.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - 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
ORC. The cluster will also bulb check 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 but the lamp will remain on until
6 seconds have expired.
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.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - 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 ORC. 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.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - 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 1/4.0
mile, vehicle speed is greater than 24 km/h (15 mph),
the chime will sound continuously until the turn sig-nal 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 when the emer-
gency flashers are turned on. Chime rate: 50612
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 1/4.0 mile).
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.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - 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, airbag, 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 4
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.

DESCRIPTION
HIGH SPEED WARNING
The chime will sound, acting as a warning to the
driver that the vehicle speed has exceeded 120 3
kph (75 2 mph).
OPERATION
HIGH SPEED WARNING
When the vehicle speed sensor sees 120 3kph
(75 2 mph), it sends a PCI data bus message to the
Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM then turns on
the chime to let the driver know that the vehicle has
reached a speed greater than 120 3kph(75 2
mph). This audible message will continue until the
vehicle is slowed below the predetermined speed.
