1.0 INTRODUCTION
The procedures contained in this manual include
all the specifications, instructions and graphics
needed to diagnose 2001 body system problems. The
diagnostics in this manual are based on the failure
condition or symptom being present at the time of
diagnosis.
Please follow the recommendations below when
choosing your diagnostic path.
1. First make sure the DRBIIItis communicating
with the appropriate modules; i.e., if the
DRBIIItdisplays a ªNo Responseº or a ªBus6
Signals Openº condition, you must diagnose that
first.
2. Read DTC's (diagnostic trouble codes) with the
DRBIIIt.
3. If no DTC's are present, identify the customer
complaint.
4. Once the DTC or customer complaint is identi-
fied, locate the matching test in the Table of
Contents and begin to diagnose the symptom.
All component location views are in Section 8.0. All
connector pinouts are in Section 9.0. All schematics
are in Section 10.0. All Charts and Graphs are in
Section 11.0.
An * placed before the symptom description indi-
cated a customer complaint.
When repairs are required, refer to the appropri-
ate service information for the proper removal and
repair procedure.
Diagnostic procedures change every year. New
diagnostic systems may be added: carryover systems
may be enhanced. READ THIS MANUAL BEFORE
TRYING TO DIAGNOSE A VEHICLE DIAGNOS-
TIC TROUBLE CODE. It is recommended that you
review the entire manual to become familiar with all
the new and changed diagnostic procedures.
This book reflects many suggested changes from
readers of past issues. After using this book, if you
have any comments or suggestions, please fill out
the form in the back of this book and mail it back to
us.
1.1 SYSTEM COVERAGE
This diagnostic procedures manual covers all
2001 Chrysler Voyager and Caravan vehicles. This
diagnostic procedures manual also covers both left
hand drive (LHD) and right hand drive (RHD)
vehicles. There may be some slight differences in
the location views of components. If the location
views shown are on a LHD vehicle, a RHD vehicle
will be symmetrically opposite.
1.2 SIX-STEP TROUBLESHOOTING
PROCEDURE
Diagnosis of the body system is done in six basic
steps:
²verification of complaint
²verification of any related symptoms
²symptom analysis
²problem isolation
²repair of isolated problem
²verification of proper operation
2.0 IDENTIFICATION OF

3.0 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND
FUNCTIONAL OPERATION
The body system on the 2001 RG consists of a
combination of modules that communicate over the
PCI bus (Programmable Communication Interface
multiplex system). Through the PCI bus, informa-
tion about the operation of vehicle components and
circuits is relayed quickly to the appropriate mod-
ule(s). All modules receive all the information trans-
1
GENERAL INFORMATION
this type of system would only refer to this circuit.
A faulty speaker could not cause this DTC.
3.2.1 REMOTE RADIO CONTROLS
These radios can be controlled via remote radio
switches (optional). These switches are located on
the back side of the steering wheel. They control
mode, preset, seek up, seek down, volume up and
volume down functions.
These functions are inputs to the Body Control
Module and can be read with the DRBIIItunder
ªbody computerº. The switches are a multiplexed
signal to the BCM. The radio control MUX circuit is
a 5 volt line that is pulled to ground through
different value resistors built into the switches.
This causes a voltage drop to be seen by the BCM
and it sends a specific message to the radio on the
PCI Bus circuit. The radio then responses to the
message.
This circuit is fairly simple to troubleshoot. The
circuit must be complete from the switches in the
steering wheel to the BCM. The ground must be
complete so that the switches can cause the voltage
drop for the BCM to see. The circuit passes through
the clockspring so continuity through this devise
must be verified.
3.2.2 CD CHANGER
The new in-dash CD Changer is designed to fit
into the existing cubby bin in the center stack. This
new cartridge-less CD Changer is controlled by
your radio, and allows you to individually load up to
four discs at a time. However, due to its compact
design, the CD Changer can only carry out one
operation at a time. For example, you can not load
a new disc while playing another at the same time.
Each operation happens sequentially.
The radio unit installed with your system pro-
vides control over all features of the CD Changer
with the exception of the CD load and eject func-
tions, which are controlled by buttons located on the
front of the CD Changer. The radio also supplies the
power, ground, PCI Bus, left and right speaker
output thru a single DIN cable. All features you
would expect, such as Disc Up/Down, Track Up/
Down, Random and Scan are controlled by the
radio, which also displays all relevant CD Changer
information on the radio display.
The CD Changer contains a Load/Eject button
and an indicator light for each of the four disc
positions. The individual light indicates whether a
CD is currently loaded in that particular chamber of
the CD Changer. Pressing the individual Load/Eject
button for a particular chamber will eject a disc
currently present in that chamber. If the chamber iscurrently empty, actuating the Load/Eject button
will position that chamber to receive and load a new
disc in that chamber.
3.3 BODY CONTROL MODULE
The body control module (BCM) supplies vehicle
occupants with visual and audible information and
controls various vehicle functions. To provide and
receive information, the module is interfaced to the
vehicle's serial bus communications network (PCI).
This network consists of the powertrain control
module (PCM), the engine control module (ECM) -
diesel only, the transmission control module (TCM),
the mechanical instrument cluster (MIC), the front
control module (FCM), the occupant restraint con-
troller (ORC), the compass/mini-trip (CMTC), the
electronic vehicle information center (EVIC), the
controller antilock brake (CAB), the HVAC control
module (ATC & MTC), the power sliding door (Left
& Right) modules (PSD), the power liftgate module
(PLG), the Audio system, the side impact airbag
control (left & right) modules (SIACM), the memory
seat/mirror module (MSMM), the RKE/thatcham
alarm module and the sentry key immobilizer mod-
ule (SKIM). The BCM is operational when battery
power is supplied to the module.
The body control module provides the following
features:
²Power Door Locks
²Automatic Door Lock
²Door Lock Inhibit
²Central Locking (with VTSS Only)
²Battery Protection
²The BCM will automatically turn off all exterior
lamps after 3 minutes and all interior lamps after
15 minutes after the ignition is turned off, if they
are not turned off by the driver.

²Compass/Minitrip Support
²Interior Lighting (Courtesy/Reading Lamps)

Locks)

²Power Folding Mirrors
²Remote Radio Controls
²Headlamp Time Delay (with/without Autohead-
lamps)
²Automatic Headlamps (with electrochromatic
mirror)
²Illuminated Entry
