RADIO
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
If the vehicle is equipped with remote radio
switches located on the backs of the steering wheel
spokes, and the problem being diagnosed is related to
one of the symptoms listed below, be certain to check
the remote radio switches and circuits as described
in this group, prior to attempting radio diagnosis or
repair.
²Stations changing with no remote radio switch
input
²Radio memory presets not working properly
²Volume changes with no remote radio switch
input
²Remote radio switch buttons taking on other
functions
²CD player skipping tracks
²Remote radio switch inoperative.
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 Step 7. If not OK, repair the short circuit as
required.
(7) Check for continuity between the radio control
circuit cavities of the remote radio switch wire har-

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 - ANTENNA MODULE
CONDITION POSSIBLE CAUSES CORRECTION
NO AM RECEPTION,
WEAK FM RECEPTION1. Antenna module to antenna
connector open or disconnected.1. Repair open, reconnect
antenna module connector to
glass mounted antenna.
2. Coax open or disconnected. 2. Repair open, reconnect coax.
3. No battery power at antenna
module.3. Check fuse. if okay, repair
open in battery voltage circuit.
NO AM OR FM
RECEPTION1. Coax disconnected at radio. 1. Reconnect coax.
2. Coax shorted to ground. 2. Repair or Replace coax
WEAK OR NO AM/FM
RECEPTION1. Antenna Module faulty. 1. Substitute known good
module. If reception improves,
Antenna Module was faulty.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Lower headliner as necessary to access
antenna module (Fig. 2).
(3) Disconnect antenna coax cable lead and electri-
cal harness connector from antenna module.
(4) Disconnect the antenna module connector from
the quarter glass.
(5) Remove the mounting screw and the antenna
module.

DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. DISCONNECT AND ISO-
LATE THE BATTERY NEGATIVE (GROUND) CABLE,
THEN WAIT TWO MINUTES FOR THE AIRBAG SYS-
TEM CAPACITOR TO DISCHARGE BEFORE PER-
FORMING FURTHER DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. THIS
IS THE ONLY SURE WAY TO DISABLE THE AIRBAG

The chime/buzzer system provides the driver with
warning chimes for:
²Seat Belt
²Exterior Lamps ON
²Key-In Ignition
²Engine Temperature Critical
²Turn Signals ON
²Dome Lamp ON
²Low Oil Pressure
²High Speed Warning
²Warning Lamp Announcement
²Key-In Accessory
OPERATION
The Chime/Buzzer Warning System is diagnosed
using a DRBIIItscan tool. Refer to the proper Body
Diagnostic Procedures Manual.
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.
(3) Check driver's seat belt buckle switch input
(form ORC) for a closed circuit when not buckled. If
input not seen, look for open in wiring or switch. The
switch is grounded when belt is not buckled.
(4) Verify PCI data bus communication between
ORC and BCM.
NO FASTEN SEAT BELT LAMP WHEN IGNITION
SWITCH IS TURNED ON.
(1) Check for burned out lamp.
(2) Using a voltmeter check for voltage at the clus-
ter conncctor:
(a) Pin 2 of the mechanical instrument cluster
for battery feed.
(b) Pin 11 of the mechanical instrument cluster
for ignition voltage.
(3) Repair as necessary.
