COMPONENT DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. FAILURE
TO TAKE THE PROPER PRECAUTIONS COULD
RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT
AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL INJURY.
CAUTION: The speaker output of the radio receiver
is a ªfloating groundº system. Do not allow any
speaker lead to short to ground, as damage to the
radio receiver may result.
(1) Check the fused B(+) fuse in the junction block.
If OK, go to Step 2. If not OK, repair the shorted cir-
cuit or component as required and replace the faulty
fuse.
(2) Check for battery voltage at the fused B(+) fuse
in the junction block. If OK, go to Step 3. If not OK,
repair the open fused B(+) circuit to the Power Dis-
tribution Center (PDC) as required.
(3) Check the fused ignition switch output (acc/
run) fuse in the junction block. If OK, go to Step 4. If
not OK, repair the shorted circuit or component as
required and replace the faulty fuse(s).
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the On position.
Check for battery voltage at the fused ignition switch
output (acc/run) fuse in the junction block. If OK, go
to Step 5. If not OK, repair the open fused ignition
switch output (acc/run) circuit to the ignition switch
as required.
(5) Turn the ignition switch to the Off position.
Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
Remove the radio receiver from the instrument
panel, but do not disconnect the wire harness connec-
tors. Check for continuity between the radio receiver
chassis and a good ground. There should be continu-
ity. If OK, go to Step 6. If not OK, repair the open
ground circuit to ground as required.(6) Connect the battery negative cable. Turn the
ignition switch to the On position. Check for battery
voltage at the fused ignition switch output (acc/run)
circuit cavity of the left (gray) radio wire harness
connector. If OK, go to Step 7. If not OK, repair the
open fused ignition switch output (acc/run) circuit to
the junction block fuse as required.
(7) Turn the ignition switch to the Off position.
Check for battery voltage at the fused B(+) circuit
cavity of the left (gray) radio wire harness connector.
If OK, replace the faulty radio receiver. If not OK,
repair the open fused B(+) circuit to the junction
block fuse as required.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Remove the cluster bezel from the instrument
panel.
(3) Remove the two screws that secure the radio

SPEAKER
DESCRIPTION
STANDARD
The standard equipment speaker system includes
speakers in four locations. One full-range 15.2 by
22.9 centimeter (6.0 by 9.0 inch) speaker is located in
each front door. There is also one full-range 13.3 cen-
timeter (5.25 inch) diameter speaker located in each
rear cab side panel for the standard cab and the club
cab models, or in each rear door of the quad cab mod-
els.
PREMIUM
The optional premium speaker system features
Infinity model speakers in six locations. Each of the
standard front door speakers are replaced with Infin-
ity model speakers that include integral dual 30 watt
amplifiers. Each of the standard rear speakers is also
replaced by an Infinity model speaker. The premium
speaker system also includes an additional Infinity
tweeter mounted in the A-pillar garnish molding. The
total available power of the premium speaker system
is about 120 watts.
OPERATION
STANDARD
Each of the four full-range speakers used in the
standard speaker system is driven by the amplifier
that is integral to the factory-installed radio receiver.
For complete circuit diagrams, refer to the appropri-
ate wiring information. The wiring information
includes wiring 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 connec-
tors, splices and grounds.

TIMER MODULE
DESCRIPTION
Three versions of the Central Timer Module (CTM)
are available on this vehicle, a base version (Fig. 1),a high-line version (Fig. 2), and a premium version.
Whichever version of the CTM the vehicle is
equipped with, it is concealed under the driver side
end of the instrument panel inboard of the instru-
ment panel steering column opening, where it is
secured with two screws to a stamped steel bracket
that is integral to the instrument panel armature.
The CTM is enclosed in a molded plastic housing
with one (base) or two (high-line/premium) integral

base version of the CTM and the hard wired inputs
or outputs of all CTM versions can be diagnosed
using conventional diagnostic tools and methods;
however, for diagnosis of the high-line or premium
versions of the CTM or the CCD data bus, the use of
a DRBIIItscan tool is required. Refer to the appro-
priate diagnostic information.
OPERATION
The Central Timer Module (CTM) is designed to
control and integrate many of the electronic features
and functions of the vehicle. The base version of the
CTM monitors only hard wired inputs and responds
with the proper hard wired outputs. The microproces-
sor-based high-line/premium version of the CTM
monitors many hard wired switch and sensor inputs
as well as those resources it shares with other elec-
tronic modules in the vehicle through its communica-
tion over the Chrysler Collision Detection (CCD) data
bus network. The internal programming and all of
these inputs allow the high-line/premium CTM
microprocessor to determine the tasks it needs to
perform and their priorities, as well as both the stan-
dard and optional features that it should provide.
The high-line/premium CTM programming then per-
forms those tasks and provides those features
through both CCD data bus communication with
other electronic modules and through hard wired out-
puts to a number of circuits, relays, and actuators.
These outputs allow the high-line/premium CTM the
ability to control numerous accessory systems in the
vehicle.
All versions of the CTM operate on battery current
received through fuses in the Junction Block (JB) on
a non-switched fused B(+) circuit, a fused ignition
switch output (st-run) circuit (base version only), and
a fused ignition switch output (run-acc) circuit (high-
line/premium version only). This arrangement allows
the CTM to provide some features regardless of the
ignition switch position, while other features will
operate only with the ignition switch in the Acces-
sory, On, and/or Start positions. All versions of the
CTM are grounded through their connector and take
out of the instrument panel wire harness. The high-
line/premium CTM has another ground received
through a second connector and take out of the
instrument panel wire harness. The first ground cir-
cuit receives ground through a take out with an eye-
let terminal connector of the instrument panel wire
harness that is secured by a nut to a ground stud
located on the left instrument panel end bracket,
while the second ground circuit (high-line/premium
version only) receives ground through a take out with
an eyelet terminal connector of the instrument panel
wire harness that is secured by a nut to a ground
stud located on the back of the instrument panelarmature above the inboard side of the instrument
panel steering column opening.
The high-line/premium CTM monitors its own
internal circuitry as well as many of its input and
output circuits, and will store a Diagnostic Trouble
Code (DTC) in electronic memory for any failure it
detects. These DTCs can be retrieved and diagnosed
using a DRBIIItscan tool. Refer to the appropriate
diagnostic information.
