Refer to Electrical, Restraints for more information
on the clockspring. Refer to Electrical, Body Control/
Central Control Module for more information on the
Central Timer Module. Refer to the appropriate wir-
ing information. The wiring information includes wir-
ing diagrams, proper wire and connector repair
procedures, details of wire harness routing and
retention, connector pin-out information and location
views for the various wire harness connectors, splices
and grounds. Following are general descriptions of
the remaining major components in the standard and
optional factory-installed audio systems.
OPERATION
See the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for
more information on the features, use and operation
of each of the available audio systems.
CENTRAL TIMER MODULE
The high-line or premium Central Timer Module
(CTM) can also control some features of the audio
system when the vehicle is equipped with the
optional RAZ radio receiver and remote radio
switches. A high-line CTM is used on high-line ver-
sions of this vehicle. A premium CTM is used on
vehicles equipped with the optional heated seats. The
CTM combines the functions of a chime/buzzer mod-
ule, an intermittent wipe module, an illuminated
entry module, a remote keyless entry module, and a
vehicle theft security system module in a single unit.
The high-line or premium CTM also controls and
integrates many of the additional electronic functions
and features included on models with this option.The RAZ radio receiver with a remote radio switch
option is one of the features that the CTM controls.
The CTM is programmed to send switch status mes-
sages over the Chrysler Collision Detection (CCD)
data bus to control the volume, seek, and pre-set sta-
tion advance functions of the RAZ radio receiver. The
CTM monitors the status of the remote radio
switches located on the steering wheel through a
hard wired circuit. The CTM then sends the proper
switch status messages to the radio receiver. The
electronic circuitry within the radio receiver responds
to the switch status messages it receives by adjusting
the radio settings as requested.
Refer to Electrical, Body Control/Central Timer
Module for more information on the high-line CTM.
Refer to Remote Radio Switch in Description and
Operation for more information on this component.
In addition, radio receivers connected to the CCD
data bus have several audio system functions that
can be diagnosed using a DRBIIItscan tool. Refer to
the proper Diagnostic Procedures manual for more
information on DRBIIIttesting of the audio systems.

RADIO
DESCRIPTION
Available factory-installed radio receivers for this
model include an AM/FM/cassette (RAS sales code),
an AM/FM/cassette/5-band graphic equalizer with CD
changer control feature (RBN sales code), an AM/FM/
CD/3-band graphic equalizer (RBR sales code), or an
AM/FM/CD/cassette/3-band graphic equalizer (RAZ
sales code). The factory-installed RAZ sales code
radio receivers can also communicate on the Chrysler
Collision Detection (CCD) data bus network through
a separate two-way wire harness connector. All facto-
ry-installed receivers are stereo Electronically Tuned
Radios (ETR) and include an electronic digital clock
function.These radio receivers can only be serviced by an
authorized radio repair station. See the latest War-
ranty Policies and Procedures manual for a current
listing of authorized radio repair stations.
All vehicles are equipped with an Ignition-Off
Draw (IOD) fuse that is removed when the vehicle is
shipped from the factory. This fuse feeds various
accessories that require battery current when the
ignition switch is in the Off position, including the
clock. The IOD fuse is removed to prevent battery
discharge during vehicle storage.
When removing or installing the IOD fuse, it is
important that the ignition switch be in the Off posi-
tion. Failure to place the ignition switch in the Off
position can cause the radio display to become scram-
bled when the IOD fuse is removed and replaced.
Removing and replacing the IOD fuse again, with the
ignition switch in the Off position, will correct the
scrambled display condition.
The IOD fuse should be checked if the radio or
clock displays are inoperative. The IOD fuse is
located in the junction block. Refer to the fuse layout
label on the back of the instrument panel fuse access
panel for IOD fuse identification and location.
OPERATION
The radio receiver operates on fused battery cur-
rent that is available only when the ignition switch is
in the On or Accessory positions. The electronic digi-
tal clock function of the radio operates on fused bat-
tery current supplied through the IOD fuse,
regardless of the ignition switch position.
For more information on the features, setting pro-
cedures, and control functions for each of the avail-
able factory-installed radio receivers, see the owner's
manual in the vehicle glove box. For complete circuit
diagrams, refer to the appropriate wiring informa-
tion. The wiring information includes wiring dia-
grams, proper wire and connector repair procedures,
details of wire harness routing and retention, connec-
tor pin-out information and location views for the
various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.

REMOTE SWITCHES
DESCRIPTION
A remote radio switch option is available on models
equipped with the AM/FM/CD/cassette/3-band
graphic equalizer (RAZ sales code) radio receiver and
the high-line Central Timer Module (CTM). Refer to
Electrical, Body Control/Central Timer Module for
more information on this component.
Two rocker-type switches (Fig. 15) are mounted in
the sides of the rear (instrument panel side) steeringwheel trim cover. The switch on the left side is the
seek switch and has seek up, seek down, and preset
station advance functions. The switch on the right
side is the volume control switch and has volume up,
and volume down functions. The two switches are
retained in mounting holes located on each side of
the rear steering wheel trim cover by four latches
that are integral to the switches.
The remote radio switches share a common steer-
ing wheel wire harness with the vehicle speed control
switches. The steering wheel wire harness is con-
nected to the instrument panel wire harness through
the clockspring. Refer to Electrical, Clockspring for
more information on this component.
OPERATION
The remote radio switches are resistor multiplexed
units that are hard wired to the high-line or pre-
mium CTM through the clockspring. The CTM mon-
itors the status of the remote radio switches and
sends the proper switch status messages on the
Chrysler Collision Detection (CCD) data bus network
to the radio receiver. The electronic circuitry within
the radio is programmed to respond to these remote
radio switch status messages by adjusting the radio
settings as requested.
For diagnosis of the CTM or the CCD data bus, the
use of a DRBIIItscan tool and the proper Diagnostic
Procedures manual are recommended. For more
information on the features and control functions for
each of the remote radio switches, see the owner's

(5) Rotate the load control knob to maintain a load
equal to 50% of the CCA rating of the battery (Fig.
15). After fifteen seconds, record the loaded voltage
reading, then return the load control knob to the Off
position.
(6) The voltage drop will vary with the battery
temperature at the time of the load test. The battery
temperature can be estimated by using the ambient
temperature during the past several hours. If the
battery has been charged, boosted, or loaded a few
minutes prior to the test, the battery will be some-
what warmer. See the Load Test Temperature Table
for the proper loaded voltage reading.

battery is faulty and must be replaced.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - IGNITION-OFF
DRAW TEST
The term Ignition-Off Draw (IOD) identifies a nor-
mal condition where power is being drained from the
battery with the ignition switch in the Off position. A
normal vehicle electrical system will draw from five
to thirty-five milliamperes (0.005 to 0.035 ampere)
with the ignition switch in the Off position, and all
non-ignition controlled circuits in proper working
order. Up to thirty-five milliamperes are needed to
enable the memory functions for the Powertrain Con-
trol Module (PCM), digital clock, electronically tuned
radio, and other modules which may vary with the
vehicle equipment.
