2002 CHRYSLER CARAVAN instrument panel

PASSENGER HEATED SEAT
SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The heated seat switches are mounted in the
instrument panel center bezel (Fig. 6). The two three-
position rocker-type switches, one switch for each
front seat, are incorporated into one large switch
assembly that also includes the hazard, rear window
wiper and washer switches. The heated seat switches
provide a resistor multiplexed signal to the Heated
Seat Module (HSM) through separate hard wired cir-
cuits. Each switch has an Off, Low, and High position
so that both the driver and the front seat passenger
can select a preferred seat heating mode. Each
switch has two Light-Emitting Diodes (LED) which
light to indicate that the heater for the seat is turned
on.
The heated seat switches and their LEDs cannot
be repaired. If either switch or LED is faulty or dam-
aged, the entire switch assembly must be replaced.
OPERATION
There are three positions that can be selected with
each of the heated seat switches: Off, Low, or High.
When the left side of the switch rocker is fully
depressed, the Low position is selected and the low
position LED indicator illuminates. When the right
side of the switch rocker is fully depressed, the High
position is selected and the high position LED indi-cator illuminates. When the switch rocker is moved
to its neutral position (middle), Off is selected and
both LED indicators are extinguished.
Both switches provide separate resistor multi-
plexed hard wire inputs to the Heated Seat Module
(HSM) to indicate the selected switch position. The
heated seat module responds to the heated seat
switch status messages by controlling the output to
the seat heater elements of the selected seat. The
Low heat position set point is about 36É C (97É F),
and the High heat position set point is about 41É C
(105É F).

HEATED SEAT SWITCH
For complete circuit diagrams, refer toWiring
Diagrams.
WARNING: REFER TO THE RESTRAINTS SECTION
OF THIS MANUAL BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY
STEERING WHEEL, STEERING COLUMN, SEAT OR
INSTRUMENT PANEL COMPONENT DIAGNOSIS OR
SERVICE. FAILURE TO TAKE THE PROPER PRE-
CAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL AIR-
BAG DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL
INJURY.
CHECKING SWITCH SIGNAL AND WIRING AT THE
MODULE
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Access and disconnect the gray 4-way connector
from the heated seat module. Visually inspect wiring
terminals for damage that would prevent positive
connection. If not OK, repair or replace the necessary
components.
(3) Reconnect the negative battery cable and Turn
heated seat ON in the LO position. Using an Ohm-
meter, check the resistance between cavities 2 and 3
of the gray connector noted above. Resistance should
be about 3.5 kiloohms (3500 ohms). If not OK, check
resistance directly at switch, as noted below. If OK,
proceed. If NOT OK replace the switch or faulty wir-
ing.
(4) Turn heated seat ON in the HI position. Using
an Ohmmeter, check the resistance between cavities
2 and 3 of the gray connector noted above. Resistance
should be about 1.4 kiloohms (1400 ohms). If not OK,
check resistance directly at switch, as noted below. If
OK, proceed. If NOT OK replace the switch or faulty
wiring.
(5) With the system ON in the HI position, Check
for battery voltage and ground at cavities 4 and 1. If
OK, proceed with testing remaining components. If
NOT OK, repair open or wiring short.

CHECKING SWITCH ONLY
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable. Remove the center bezel from the instrument
panel (Refer to 23 - BODY/INSTRUMENT PANEL/
INSTRUMENT PANEL CENTER BEZEL - REMOV-
AL). Check for continuity between the ground circuit
cavity (#10) of the instrument panel switch bank
electrical connector and a good ground. There should
be continuity. If OK, go to Step 2. If not OK, repair
the open ground circuit to ground as required.
(2) Reconnect the battery negative cable. Turn the
ignition switch to the On position. Check for battery
voltage at the fused ignition switch output (run) cir-
cuit cavity of the instrument panel switch bank con-
nector (#4). If OK, turn the ignition switch to the Off
position, and go to Step 3. If not OK, repair the open
fused ignition switch output (run) circuit as required.
(3) Test the heated seat switch as shown in the
Heated Seat Switch Test chart and the connector pin-
out below (Fig. 7). If OK, go to Step 4. If not OK,
replace the faulty switch bank assembly.

HORN SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
WARNING: ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIR-
BAG, REFER TO ELECTRICAL, RESTRAINTS FOR
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS. DISCONNECT THE NEGA-
TIVE CABLE FROM THE BATTERY BEFORE SER-
VICING COMPONENTS INVOLVING THE AIRBAG
SYSTEM. ACCIDENTAL DEPLOYMENT OF AIRBAG
AND PERSONAL INJURY CAN RESULT.
The horn circuit consists of a horn switch, clock-
spring, horn relay, horns and Integrated Power Mod-
ule (IPM). The horn switch is a membrane switch
located in the airbag trim cover. The horns are
located forward of the left front wheel behind the
bumper fascia.
OPERATION
The horn relay plugs into the Integrated Power
Module (IPM) which is located in the engine com-
partment. For circuit information and component
locations, refer to the appropriate 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 connectors, splices and grounds.
The horns will not function if the switch is
ªCLOSEDº for more than 30 seconds. Once the
switch is ªOPENº, a 20±30 second delay will occur
before the horns are functional again.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - HORN SYSTEM
WARNING: ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIR-
BAGS, REFER TO ELECTRICAL, RESTRAINTS
BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY STEERING WHEEL,
STEERING COLUMN, OR INSTRUMENT PANEL
COMPONENT DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. FAILURE
TO TAKE THE PROPER PRECAUTIONS COULD
RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT
AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL INJURY.
Refer to Horn System Test below. If the horn does
not sound, check horn fuse located in the Integrated
Power Module (IPM). If the fuse is blown, replace
with the correct fuse. If the horns fail to sound and
the new fuse blows when depressing the horn switch,
a short circuit in the horn or the horn wiring
between the fuse terminal and the horn is responsi-
ble, or a defective horn switch allowed the horn to
burn out is responsible.
If the fuse is OK, test horn relay (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/HORN/HORN RELAY - DIAGNOSIS
AND TESTING).
If the relay is OK, test horn. Refer to Horn System
Test.
CAUTION: Continuous sounding of horn may
cause horn failure.
Should the horn sound continuously:
²Unplug the horn relay from IPM.
²Refer to (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/HORN/
HORN RELAY - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
Refer to the appropriate 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 connectors, splices and grounds.
