HEADLAMP RELAY
DESCRIPTION
The headlamp (or security) relay is located in the
Power Distribution Center (PDC) near the battery in
the engine compartment (Fig. 14). See the fuse and
relay layout label affixed to the inside surface of the
PDC cover for headlamp relay identification and loca-
tion. The headlamp relay is a conventional Interna-
tional Standards Organization (ISO) micro relay.
Relays conforming to the ISO specifications have
common physical dimensions, current capacities, ter-
minal patterns, and terminal functions. The relay is
contained within a small, rectangular, molded plastic
housing. The relay is connected to all of the required
inputs and outputs through its PDC receptacle by
five male spade-type terminals that extend from the
bottom of the relay base. The ISO designation for
each terminal is molded into the base adjacent to the
terminal. The ISO terminal designations are as fol-
lows:
²30 (Common Feed)- This terminal is con-
nected to the movable contact point of the relay.
²85 (Coil Ground)- This terminal is connected
to the ground feed side of the relay control coil.
²86 (Coil Battery)- This terminal is connected
to the battery feed side of the relay control coil.
²87 (Normally Open)- This terminal is con-
nected to the normally open fixed contact point of the
relay.
²87A (Normally Closed)- This terminal is con-
nected to the normally closed fixed contact point of
the relay.
The headlamp relay cannot be adjusted or
repaired. If the relay is damaged or faulty, it must be
replaced.
OPERATION
The headlamp (or security) relay is an electrome-
chanical switch that uses a low current input from
the high-line or premium Central Timer Module
(CTM) to control a high current output to the head-
lamps. The movable common feed contact point is
held against the fixed normally closed contact point
by spring pressure. When the relay coil is energized,
an electromagnetic field is produced by the coil wind-
ings. This electromagnetic field draws the movable
relay contact point away from the fixed normally
closed contact point, and holds it against the fixed
normally open contact point. When the relay coil is
de-energized, spring pressure returns the movable
contact point back against the fixed normally closed
contact point. A resistor or diode is connected in par-
allel with the relay coil in the relay, and helps to dis-
sipate voltage spikes and electromagnetic
interference that can be generated as the electromag-
netic field of the relay coil collapses.
The headlamp relay terminals are connected to the
vehicle electrical system through a connector recepta-
cle in the Power Distribution Center (PDC). The
inputs and outputs of the headlamp relay include:
²The common feed terminal (30) is connected to
ground at all times through a take out and eyelet
terminal connector of the right headlamp and dash
wire harness that is secured by a ground screw to
the left fender inner shield near the PDC in the
engine compartment.
²The coil ground terminal (85) is connected to the
Central Timer Module (CTM) through the security
relay control circuit. The CTM energizes the head-
lamp relay control coil by internally pulling this cir-
cuit to ground.
²The coil battery terminal (86) is connected to
battery current at all times through a fused B(+) cir-
cuit that is internal to the PDC.
²The normally open terminal (87) is connected to
the headlamps at all times through the beam select
switch low beam output circuit. This circuit provides
a path to ground for the headlamps through the com-
mon feed terminal when the headlamp relay control
coil is energized by the CTM.
²The normally closed terminal (87A) is not con-
nected to any circuit in this application, but is
grounded through the common feed terminal when
the headlamp relay control coil is de-energized.
The headlamp relay can be diagnosed using con-
ventional diagnostic tools and methods.

OPERATION - REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY
SYSTEM
On vehicles with the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
system, the power locks can be operated remotely
using the RKE transmitter. If the vehicle is so
equipped, the RKE transmitter also arms and dis-
arms the factory-installed Vehicle Theft Security Sys-
tem (VTSS). Three small, recessed buttons on the
outside of the transmitter case labelled Lock, Unlock,
and Panic allow the user to choose the function that
is desired. The RKE transmitter then sends the
appropriate Radio Frequency (RF) signal. An RF
receiver that is integral to the high-line or premium
version of the Central Timer Module (CTM) receives
the transmitted signal, then uses its internal elec-
tronic programming to determine whether the
received signal is valid and what function has been
requested. If the signal is valid, the CTM provides
the programmed features.
Besides operating the power lock system and arm-
ing or disarming the VTSS, the RKE system also
controls the following features:
²Horn Chirp- If this feature is enabled, the
CTM provides a horn chirp by internally pulling the
control coil of the horn relay to ground through a
hard wired circuit output.
²Illuminated Entry- The CTM provides illumi-
nated entry by internally controlling the current flow
to the courtesy lamps in the vehicle through a hard
wired output circuit.
²Panic Mode- The CTM provides the horn pulse
and headlight flash by internally pulling the control
coils of the horn relay and headlamp relay to ground
through hard wired circuit outputs. The CTM con-
trols the current flow to the courtesy lamps in the
vehicle through a hard wired output circuit. The
CTM also monitors the vehicle speed through elec-
tronic messages it receives from the Powertrain Con-
trol Module (PCM) over the Chrysler Collision
Detection (CCD) data bus network.
The RKE system operates on battery current
received through a fused B(+) circuit from a fuse in
the Junction Block (JB) so that the system remains
functional, regardless of the ignition switch position.
The RKE system can retain the vehicle access codes
of up to four RKE transmitters. The transmitter
codes are retained in RKE system memory, even if
the battery is disconnected. If a transmitter is faulty
or is lost, new transmitter vehicle access codes can be
programmed into the system using a DRBIIItscan
tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
Many of the electronic features in the vehicle con-
trolled or supported by the high-line or premium ver-
sions of the CTM are programmable using the
DRBIIItscan tool. In addition, the high-line/pre-
mium CTM software is Flash compatible, whichmeans it can be reprogrammed using Flash repro-
gramming procedures. However, if any of the CTM
hardware components are damaged or faulty, the
entire CTM unit must be replaced. The hard wired
inputs or outputs of the CTM 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 DRBIIIt
scan tool is required. Refer to the appropriate diag-
nostic information.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - POWER LOCKS
The following tests provide a preliminary diagnosis
for the power lock system usedonlyon vehicles
equipped with a base version of the Central Timer
Module (CTM). These testsdo notapply to the diag-
nosis of the power lock system used on vehicles
equipped with the optional Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) system, which includes a high-line or premium
CTM. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER LOCKS -
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - POWER LOCK &
REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM). 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.
PRELIMINARY TESTS
To begin this test, note the system operation while
you actuate both the Lock and Unlock functions with
the power lock switches. Then, proceed as follows:
²If the entire power lock system fails to function
with both of the power lock switches, check the fused
B(+) fuse in the Junction Block (JB). If the fuse is
OK, check the ground circuit between the driver side
power lock switch and ground (G301). If the ground
circuit is OK, proceed to the diagnosis of the power
lock motors. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER
LOCKS/POWER LOCK MOTOR - DIAGNOSIS AND
TESTING).
²If the entire power lock system fails to function
with only one of the power lock switches, proceed to
diagnosis of the power lock switches. (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/POWER LOCKS/POWER LOCK
SWITCH - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
²If only one power lock motor fails to operate
with both power lock switches, proceed to diagnosis
of the power lock motor. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
POWER LOCKS/POWER LOCK MOTOR - DIAGNO-
SIS AND TESTING).
8N - 4 POWER LOCKSBR/BE
POWER LOCKS (Continued)

activates the washer pump/motor, which dispenses
washer fluid onto the windshield glass through the
washer nozzles.
When the ignition switch is in the Accessory or On
positions, battery current from a fuse in the Junction
Block (JB) is provided through a fused ignition
switch output (run-acc) circuit to the wiper motor
park switch, the wiper relay, and the multi-function
switch. The internal circuitry of the multi-function
switch provides a direct hard wired battery current
output to the low speed or high speed brushes of the
wiper motor when the Lo or Hi switch setting is
selected, which causes the wipers to cycle at the
selected speed. The intermittent wipe, and wipe-af-
ter-wash features of the wiper and washer system
are provided by the electronic intermittent wipe logic
circuit within the Central Timer Module (CTM). In
order to provide the intermittent wipe feature, the
CTM monitors the wiper switch state and the wiper
motor park switch state. In order to provide the
wipe-after-wash feature, the CTM monitors both the
washer switch state and the wiper motor park switch
state. When a Delay position is selected with the
multi-function switch control knob, the CTM logic cir-
cuit responds by calculating the correct delay inter-
val. The CTM then energizes the wiper relay by
pulling the relay control coil to ground. The ener-
gized wiper relay directs battery current through the
normally open contact of the relay back through the
internal circuitry of the multi-function switch to the
low speed brush of the wiper motor. The CTM moni-
tors the wiper motor operation through the wiper
park switch sense circuit, which allows the CTM to
determine the proper timing to begin the next wiper
blade sweep. The normal delay intervals are driver
adjustable from about one-half second to about eigh-
teen seconds.
The high-line and premium CTM also provides a
speed sensitive intermittent wipe feature. By moni-
toring vehicle speed messages received from the Pow-
ertrain Control Module (PCM) over the Chrysler
Collision Detection (CCD) data bus network, the
high-line or premium CTM is able to adjust the delay
intervals to compensate for vehicle speed. Above
about sixteen kilometers-per-hour (ten miles-per-
hour) the delay is driver adjustable from about one-
half second to about eighteen seconds. Below about
sixteen kilometers-per-hour (ten miles-per-hour) the
delay times are doubled by the CTM, from about one
second to about thirty-six seconds.
When the Off position of the multi-function switch
wiper control knob is selected, one of two events is
possible. The event that will occur depends upon the
position of the wiper blades on the windshield at the
moment that the Off position is selected. If the wiper
blades are in the down position on the windshieldwhen the Off position is selected, the park switch
that is integral to the wiper motor is closed to ground
and the wiper motor ceases to operate. If the wiper
blades are not in the down position on the windshield
at the moment the Off position is selected, the park
switch is closed to battery current through a fused
ignition switch output (run-acc) circuit. The park
switch sense circuit directs this battery current to
the low speed brush of the wiper motor through the
normally closed contact of the wiper relay and the
internal Off position circuitry of the multi-function
switch. This causes the wiper motor to continue run-
ning until the wiper blades are in the down position
on the windshield and the park switch is again
closed to ground.
When the Wash position of the multi-function
switch is selected, the Wash position circuitry within
the switch directs battery current to the washer
pump/motor. The CTM monitors the washer switch
state through a washer switch sense input. When the
washer switch is closed with the wiper system turned
Off, the CTM operates the wiper motor through the
wiper relay in the same manner as it does to provide
the Delay mode operation. After the state of the
washer switch changes to open, the CTM monitors
the wiper motor through the wiper park switch sense
circuit, which allows the CTM to monitor the number
of wiper blade sweeps.
Proper testing of the CTM, the PCM, or the CCD
data bus vehicle speed messages requires a DRBIIIt
scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic infor-
mation. Refer to the owner's manual in the vehicle
glove box for more information on the features and
operation of the wiper and washer system.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - WIPER &
WASHER SYSTEM
WIPER SYSTEM
The diagnosis found here addresses an electrically
inoperative wiper system. If the wiper motor oper-
ates, but the wipers do not move on the windshield,
replace the faulty wiper module. If the wipers oper-
ate, but chatter, lift, or do not clear the glass, clean
and inspect the wiper system components as
required. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/WIPERS/
WASHERS - INSPECTION) and (Refer to 8 - ELEC-
TRICAL/WIPERS/WASHERS - CLEANING). Refer to
the appropriate wiring information. The wiring infor-
mation 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 con-
nectors, splices and grounds.
The following tests will help to diagnose the hard
wired components and circuits of the wiper system.

WIPER RELAY
DESCRIPTION
The wiper relay (or intermittent wipe relay) is
located in the Power Distribution Center (PDC) near
the battery in the engine compartment. See the fuse
and relay layout label affixed to the inside surface of
the PDC cover for wiper relay identification and loca-
tion. The wiper relay is a conventional International
Standards Organization (ISO) micro relay. Relays
conforming to the ISO specifications have common
physical dimensions, current capacities, terminal pat-
terns, and terminal functions. The relay is containedwithin a small, rectangular, molded plastic housing.
The relay is connected to all of the required inputs
and outputs through its PDC receptacle by five male
spade-type terminals that extend from the bottom of
the relay base. The ISO designation for each termi-
nal is molded into the base adjacent to the terminal.
The ISO terminal designations are as follows:
²30 (Common Feed)- This terminal is con-
nected to the movable contact point of the relay.
²85 (Coil Ground)- This terminal is connected
to the ground feed side of the relay control coil.
²86 (Coil Battery)- This terminal is connected
to the battery feed side of the relay control coil.
²87 (Normally Open)- This terminal is con-
nected to the normally open fixed contact point of the
relay.
²87A (Normally Closed)- This terminal is con-
nected to the normally closed fixed contact point of
the relay.
The wiper relay cannot be adjusted or repaired. If
the relay is damaged or faulty, it must be replaced.
OPERATION
The wiper relay (or intermittent wipe relay) is an
electromechanical switch that uses a low current
input from the Central Timer Module (CTM) to con-
trol a high current output to the low speed brush of
the wiper motor. The movable common feed contact
point is held against the fixed normally closed con-
tact point by spring pressure. When the relay coil is
energized, an electromagnetic field is produced by the
coil windings. This electromagnetic field draws the
movable relay contact point away from the fixed nor-
mally closed contact point, and holds it against the
fixed normally open contact point. When the relay
coil is de-energized, spring pressure returns the mov-
able contact point back against the fixed normally
closed contact point. A resistor or diode is connected
in parallel with the relay coil in the relay, and helps
to dissipate voltage spikes and electromagnetic inter-
ference that can be generated as the electromagnetic
field of the relay coil collapses.
The wiper relay terminals are connected to the
vehicle electrical system through a connector recepta-
cle in the Power Distribution Center (PDC). The
inputs and outputs of the wiper relay include:
²The common feed terminal (30) is connected to
the wiper motor low speed brush through the wiper
control circuitry of the multi-function switch on the
steering column. When the wiper relay is de-ener-
gized, the common feed terminal is connected to the
wiper park switch output through the wiper park
switch sense circuit. The wiper park switch output
may be battery current (wipers are not parked), or
ground (wipers are parked). When the wiper relay is
energized, the common feed terminal of the wiper is

connected to battery current from a fuse in the Junc-
tion Block (JB) through a fused ignition switch out-
put (run-acc) circuit.
²The coil ground terminal (85) is connected to the
relay control output of the CTM through the wiper
motor relay control circuit. The CTM controls the
ground path for this circuit internally to energize or
de-energize the wiper relay based upon its program-
ming and inputs from the wiper and washer control
circuitry of the multi-function switch and from the
wiper motor park switch.
²The coil battery terminal (86) is connected to
battery current from a fuse in the Junction Block
(JB) through a fused ignition switch output (run-acc)
circuit whenever the ignition switch is in the On or
Accessory positions.
²The normally open terminal (87) is connected to
battery current from a fuse in the Junction Block
(JB) through a fused ignition switch output (run-acc)
circuit whenever the wiper relay control coil is ener-
gized by the CTM. This circuit provides fused igni-
tion switch output (run-acc) current to the wiper
motor low speed brush only when the wiper relay
control coil is energized.
²The normally closed terminal (87A) is connected
to the output of the wiper motor park switch through
the wiper motor park switch sense circuit. This cir-
cuit provides battery current (wipers are not parked)
or ground (wipers are parked) to the wiper motor low
speed brush whenever the wiper relay control coil is
de-energized and the Off position of the wiper control
of the multi-function switch is selected.
The wiper relay can be diagnosed using conven-
tional diagnostic tools and methods.
