DIAGNOSIS AND TESTINGÐACCESSORY
DRIVE BELT
VISUAL DIAGNOSIS
When diagnosing serpentine accessory drive belts,
small cracks that run across the ribbed surface of the
belt from rib to rib (Fig. 19), are considered normal.
These are not a reason to replace the belt. However,
cracks running along a rib (not across) arenotnor-
mal. Any belt with cracks running along a rib must
be replaced (Fig. 19). Also replace the belt if it has
excessive wear, frayed cords or severe glazing.
Refer to ACCESSORY DRIVE BELT DIAGNOSIS

VACUUM PUMP - 5.9L DIESEL
DESCRIPTION
The vacuum pump and the power steering pump
are combined into a single assembly on diesel engine
models (Fig. 23). Both pumps are operated by a drive
gear attached to the vacuum pump shaft. The shaft
gear is driven by the camshaft gear.
The vacuum pump is a constant displacement,
vane-type pump. Vacuum is generated by four vanes
mounted in the pump rotor. The rotor is located in
the pump housing and is pressed onto the pump
shaft.
The vacuum and steering pumps are operated by a
single drive gear pressed onto the vacuum pump
shaft. The drive gear is operated by the engine cam-
shaft gear.
The vacuum and power steering pump shafts are
connected by a coupling. Each pump shaft has an
adapter with drive lugs that engage in the coupling.
The vacuum pump rotating components are lubri-
cated by engine oil. Lubricating oil is supplied to the
pump through an oil line at the underside of the
pump housing.

The complete assembly must be removed in order
to service either pump. However, the power steering
pump can be removed and serviced separately when
necessary.
The vacuum pump is not a serviceable component.
If diagnosis indicates a pump malfunction, the pump
must be replaced as an assembly. Do not disassemble
or attempt to repair the pump.
The combined vacuum and steering pump assem-
bly must be removed for access to either pump. How-
ever, the vacuum pump can be removed without
having to disassemble the power steering pump.
If the power steering pump requires service, simply
remove the assembly and separate the two pumps.
Refer to the pump removal and installation proce-
dures in this section.
OPERATION
Vacuum pump output is transmitted to the
HEVAC, speed control, systems through a supply
hose. The hose is connected to an outlet port on the
pump housing and uses an in-line check valve to
retain system vacuum when vehicle is not running.
Pump output ranges from a minimum of 8.5 to 25
inches vacuum.
The pump rotor and vanes are rotated by the pump
drive gear. The drive gear is operated by the cam-
shaft gear.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTINGÐVACUUM PUMP
OUTPUT
The vacuum pump supplies necessary vacuum to
components in the following systems:
²HEVAC system
²Speed Control System
A quick check to determine if the vacuum pump is
the cause of the problem in any of these systems is to
road test the vehicle and verify that all of these sys-
tems are fuctioning properly. If only one of these has
a vacuum related failure, then it is likely the vacuum
pump is not the cause.
A standard vacuum gauge can be used to check
pump output when necessary. Simply disconnect the
pump supply hose and connect a vacuum gauge to
the outlet port for testing purposes. With the engine
running, vacuum output should be a minimum of 25
inches, depending on engine speed.
DIAGNOSING LOW VACUUM OUTPUT CONDITION
If the vacuum pump is suspected of low vacuum
output, check the pump and vacuum harnesses as
follows:
(1) Visually inspect the vacuum harness for obvi-
ous failures (i.e. disconnected, cracks, breaks etc.)
(2) Disconnect the vacuum supply hose at the vac-
uum pump check valve. Connect vacuum gauge to
this valve and run engine at various throttle open-
ings. Output should be a minimum 25 inches of vac-
uum. If vacuum is consistently below 25 inches, the
vacuum pump should be replaced. If output is within
specified limits, the vacuum harness should be sus-
pected as the cause.
(3) Disconnect and isolate the vacuum supply har-
ness. Cap off open ends and apply roughly 15 inches
of vacuum to the harness. If the vacuum gauge does
not hold its reading, then there is an open in the har-
ness and it should be repaired or replaced.
(4) If the vacuum loss is still not detected at this
point, then the pump and harness are not the cause
of the low vacuum condition. Apply vacuum to the
related components of the vacuum supply system (i.e.
valves, servos, solenoids, etc.) to find the source of
the vacuum loss.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect battery negative cables.
(2) Position drain pan under power steering pump.
(3) Disconnect vacuum and steering pump hoses.
(4) Disconnect lubricating oil feed line from fitting
at underside of vacuum pump (Fig. 24).
(5) Remove lower bolt that attaches pump assem-
bly to engine block (Fig. 25).

RADIO
DESCRIPTION
Available factory-installed radio receivers for this
model include an AM/FM/cassette (RAS 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 net-
work through a separate two-way wire harness con-
nector. All factory-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.
