DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - CENTRAL TIMER
MODULE
The hard wired inputs to and outputs from the
Central Timer Module (CTM) may be diagnosed and
tested using conventional diagnostic tools and meth-
ods. 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 har-
ness connectors, splices and grounds.
However, conventional diagnostic methods may not
prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the high-line/pre-
mium CTM. In order to obtain conclusive testing of
the high-line/premium CTM, the Chrysler CollisionDetection (CCD) data bus network and all of the elec-
tronic modules that provide inputs to or receive out-
puts from the CTM must also be checked. The most
reliable, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose
the high-line/premium CTM, the CCD data bus net-
work, and the electronic modules that provide inputs
to or receive outputs from the high-line/premium
CTM requires the use of a DRBIIItscan tool and the
appropriate diagnostic information. The DRBIIIt
scan tool can provide confirmation that the CCD data
bus network is functional, that all of the electronic
modules are sending and receiving the proper mes-
sages over the CCD data bus, and that the CTM is
receiving the proper hard wired inputs and respond-
ing with the proper hard wired outputs needed to
perform its many functions.

COMMUNICATION
DESCRIPTION - CCD DATA BUS
The Chrysler Collision Detection (also referred to as
CCD or CD) data bus system is a multiplex system
used for vehicle communications on many
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles. Within the con-
text of the CCD system, the term ªcollisionª refers to
the system's ability to avoid collisions of the electronic
data that enters the data bus from various electronic
control modules at approximately the same time.
Multiplexing is a system that enables the trans-
mission of several messages over a single channel or
circuit. Many DaimlerChrysler vehicles use this prin-
ciple for communication between the various micro-
processor-based electronic control modules.
Many of the electronic control modules in a vehicle
require information from the same sensing device. In
the past, if information from one sensing device was
required by several controllers, a wire from each con-
troller needed to be connected in parallel to that sen-
sor. In addition, each controller utilizing analog
sensors required an Analog/Digital (A/D) converter in
order to ªreadª these sensor inputs. Multiplexing
reduces wire harness complexity, sensor current
loads and controller hardware because each sensing
device is connected to only one controller, which
reads and distributes the sensor information to the
other controllers over the data bus. Also, because
each controller on the data bus can access the con-
troller sensor inputs to every other controller on the
data bus, more function and feature capabilities are
possible.

In addition to reducing wire harness complexity,
component sensor current loads and controller hard-
ware, multiplexing offers a diagnostic advantage. A
multiplex system allows the information flowing
between controllers to be monitored using a diagnos-
tic scan tool. The DaimlerChrysler system allows an
electronic control module to broadcast message data
out onto the bus where all other electronic control
modules can ªhearº the messages that are being sent.
When a module hears a message on the data bus
that it requires, it relays that message to its micro-
processor. Each module ignores the messages on the
data bus that are being sent to other electronic con-
trol modules.
With a diagnostic scan tool connected into the CCD
circuit, a technician is able to observe many of the
electronic control module function and message out-
puts while; at the same time, controlling many of the
sensor message inputs. The CCD data bus, along
with the use of a DRBIIItdiagnostic scan tool and a
logic-based approach to test procedures, as found in
the appropriate diagnostic procedures manuals,
allows the trained automotive technician to more eas-
ily, accurately and efficiently diagnose the many com-
plex and integrated electronic functions and features
found on today's vehicles.
OPERATION - CCD DATA BUS
The CCD data bus system was designed to run at a
7812.5 baud rate (or 7812.5 bits per second). In order
to successfully transmit and receive binary messages
over the CCD data bus, the system requires the fol-
lowing:
²Bus (+) and Bus (±) Circuits
²CCD Chips in Each Electronic Control Module
²Bus Bias and Termination
²Bus Messaging
²Bus Message Coding
Following are additional details of each of the
above system requirements.
BUS (+) AND BUS (±) CIRCUITS
The two wires (sometimes referred to as the ªtwist-
ed pairº) that comprise the CCD data bus are the D1
circuit [Bus (+)], and the D2 circuit [Bus (±)]. The9D9
in D1 and D2 identify these as diagnostic circuits.
Transmission and receipt of binary messages on the
CCD data bus is accomplished by cycling the voltage
differential between the Bus (+) and Bus (±) circuits.
The two data bus wires are twisted together in
order to shield the wires from the effects of any Elec-
tro-Magnetic Interference (EMI) from switched volt-
age sources. An induced EMI voltage can be
generated in any wire by a nearby switched voltage
or switched ground circuit. By twisting the data bus
wires together, the induced voltage spike (either upor down) affects both wires equally. Since both wires
are affected equally, a voltage differential still exists
between the Bus (+) and Bus (±) circuits, and the
data bus messages can still be broadcast or received.
The correct specification for data bus wire twisting is
one turn for every 44.45 millimeters (1 ô inches) of
wire.
CCD CHIPS
In order for an electronic control module to commu-
nicate on the CCD data bus, it must have a CCD
chip (Fig. 5). The CCD chip contains a differential
transmitter/receiver (or transceiver), which is used to
send and receive messages. Each module is wired in
parallel to the data bus through its CCD chip.
The differential transceiver sends messages by
using two current drivers: one current source driver,
and one current sink driver. The current drivers are
matched and allow 0.006 ampere to flow through the
data bus circuits. When the transceiver drivers are
turned On, the Bus (+) voltage increases slightly, and
the Bus (±) voltage decreases slightly. By cycling the
drivers On and Off, the CCD chip causes the voltage
on the data bus circuit to fluctuate to reflect the mes-
sage.
Once a message is broadcast over the CCD data
bus, all electronic control modules on the data bus
have the ability to receive it through their CCD chip.
Reception of CCD messages is also carried out by the
transceiver in the CCD chip. The transceiver moni-
tors the voltage on the data bus for any fluctuations.
When data bus voltage fluctuations are detected,
they are interpreted by the transceiver as binary
messages and sent to the electronic control module's
microprocessor.

BUS BIAS AND TERMINATION
The voltage network used by the CCD data bus to
transmit messages requires both bias and termina-
tion. At least one electronic control module on the
data bus must provide a voltage source for the CCD
data bus network known as bus bias, and there must
be at least one bus termination point for the data bus
circuit to be complete. However, while bias and ter-
mination are both required for data bus operation,
they both do not have to be within the same elec-
tronic control module. The CCD data bus is biased to
approximately 2.5 volts. With each of the electronic
control modules wired in parallel to the data bus, all
modules utilize the same bus bias. Therefore, based
upon vehicle options, the data bus can accommodate
two or twenty electronic control modules without
affecting bus voltage.
The power supplied to the data bus is known as
bus biasing. Bus bias is provided through a series cir-
cuit. To properly bias the data bus circuits, a 5 volt
supply is provided through a 13 kilohm resistor to
the Bus (±) circuit (Fig. 6). Voltage from the Bus (±)
circuit flows through a 120 ohm termination resistor
to the Bus (+) circuit. The Bus (+) circuit is grounded
through another 13 kilohm resistor. While at least
one termination resistor is required for the system to
operate, most DaimlerChrysler systems use two. The
second termination resistor serves as a backup (Fig.
7). The termination resistor provides a path for the
bus bias voltage. Without a termination point, volt-
age biasing would not occur. Voltage would go to 5
volts on one bus wire and 0 volts on the other bus
wire.The voltage drop through the termination resistor
creates 2.51 volts on Bus (±), and 2.49 volts on Bus
(+). The voltage difference between the two circuits is
0.02 volts. When the data bus voltage differential is a
steady 0.02 volts, the CCD system is considered
ªidle.º When no input is received from any module
and the ignition switch is in the Off position for a
pre-programmed length of time, the bus data
becomes inactive or enters the ºsleep mode.º Elec-
tronic control modules that provide bus bias can be
programmed to ºwake upº the data bus and become
active upon receiving any predetermined input or
when the ignition switch is turned to the On posi-
tion.
BUS MESSAGING
The electronic control modules used in the CCD
data bus system contain microprocessors. Digital sig-
nals are the means by which microprocessors operate
internally and communicate messages to other micro-
processors. Digital signals are limited to two states,
voltage high or voltage low, corresponding to either a
one or a zero. Unlike conventional binary code, the
CCD data bus systems translate a small voltage dif-
ference as a one (1), and a larger voltage difference
as a zero (0). The use of the 0 and 1 is referred to as
binary coding. Each binary number is called a bit,
and eight bits make up a byte. For example:
01011101 represents a message. The controllers in
the multiplex system are able to send thousands of
these bytes strung together to communicate a variety
of messages. Through the use of binary data trans-
mission, all electronic control modules on the data
bus can communicate with each other.
The microprocessors in the CCD data bus system
translate the binary messages into Hexadecimal
Code (or Hex Code). Hex code is the means by which
microprocessors communicate and interpret mes-
sages. When fault codes are received by the DRBIIIt
scan tool, they are translated into text for display on
the DRBIIItscreen. Although not displayed by the
DRBIIItfor Body Systems, hex codes are shown by
the DRBIIItfor Engine System faults.
When the microprocessor signals the transceiver in
the CCD chip to broadcast a message, the transceiver
turns the current drivers On and Off, which cycles
the voltage on the CCD data bus circuits to corre-
spond to the message. At idle, the CCD system rec-
ognizes the 0.02 voltage differential as a binary bit 1.
When the current drivers are actuated, the voltage
differential from idle must increase by 0.02 volt for
the CCD system to recognize a binary bit 0 (Fig. 8).
The nominal voltage differential for a 0 bit is 0.100
volts. However, data bus voltage differentials can
range anywhere between 0.02 and 0.120 volt.

BUS MESSAGE CODING
The first part of a data bus message has an Iden-
tification (ID) byte. The ID byte contains message
priority, message identification, message content and
message length information. All messages sent over
the data bus are coded for both priority and identifi-
cation.
PRIORITY
Messages can be broadcast almost simultaneously
by modules over the CCD data bus. Therefore, all
messages are defined and ranked by a predetermined
priority. When two CCD chips start a message at
exactly the same time, non-destructive arbitration
occurs between the two CCD chips. Arbitration will
occur based upon the priority code, to determine
which message takes priority on the data bus and to
prevent data collision. If a CCD chip senses a mes-
sage of higher priority being transmitted, it stops
transmitting its message. The higher priority mes-
sage is then transmitted in its entirety without inter-ruption. The other CCD chips on the data bus do not
allow any other messages to be broadcast.
To determine the winner in an arbitration, all mes-
sages start with an ID byte which contains the pre-
determined priority code. In the digital broadcast,
zero is the dominant bit. All ID bytes start with a
zero. This is the start of the message. With zeros
being the dominant bit, messages starting with more
zeros have a higher priority. For example: of the two
messages below, Message #2 loses arbitration at the
second bit, where Message #1 has a zero and Mes-
sage #2 has a one (Fig. 9). After the message is
broadcast, an idle period occurs while all micropro-
cessors can queue, if necessary, and attempt to
broadcast their messages again.
²Message #1 = 00010110
²Message #2 = 01010101

MESSAGE IDENTIFICATION
Because messages are broadcast over the data bus,
all modules can receive them, yet not all modules
need all messages. In order to enhance microproces-
sor speed, unneeded messages are filtered out. The
ID byte, along with showing message priority, alsoidentifies the data, content and length. The electronic
control module, through its CCD chip transceiver,
monitors the ID code of the messages. If the message
is not for that particular module, the message is sim-
ply ignored. Once the module recognizes a message
that it requires, the rest of the message is monitored
and processed.
TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION
Once a CCD chip transmits a message over the
CCD data bus, the message is received by the trans-
mitting module at the same time through the CCD
chip differential transceiver. The module knows the
message was broadcast correctly when it receives its
own message back. If the message received does not
match the message transmitted, the message is said
to be corrupt.
Corruption occurs when the message is incorrectly
transmitted on the data bus. Corruption can also
occur from interference, wiring problems, or other
data bus problems. In the case of a corrupt message,
the module attempts to have the CCD chip re-send
the message.

CONTROLLER ANTILOCK
BRAKE
DESCRIPTION
The Controller Antilock Brakes (CAB) is a micro-
processor which handles testing, monitoring and con-
trolling the ABS brake system operation (Fig. 10).
The CAB functions are:
²Perform self-test diagnostics.
²Monitor the RWAL brake system for proper oper-
ation.
²Control the RWAL valve solenoids.
NOTE: If the CAB needs to be replaced, the rear
axle type and tire revolutions per mile must be pro-
gramed into the new CAB. For axle type refer to
Group 3 Differential and Driveline. For tire revolu-
tions per mile,(Refer to 22 - TIRES/WHEELS/TIRES -
SPECIFICATIONS) . To program the CAB refer to the
Chassis Diagnostic Manual.
OPERATION
SYSTEM SELF-TEST
When the ignition switch is turned-on the micro-
processor RAM and ROM are tested. If an error
occurs during the test, a DTC will be set into the
RAM memory. However it is possible the DTC will
not be stored in memory if the error has occurred in
the RAM module were the DTC's are stored. Also it
is possible a DTC may not be stored if the error has
occurred in the ROM which signals the RAM to store
the DTC.
CAB INPUTS
The CAB continuously monitors the speed of the
differential ring gear by monitoring signals generated
by the rear wheel speed sensor. The CAB determines
a wheel locking tendency when it recognizes the ring
gear is decelerating too rapidly. The CAB monitors
the following inputs to determine when a wheel lock-
ing tendency may exists:
²Rear Wheel Speed Sensor
²Brake Lamp Switch
²Brake Warning Lamp Switch
²Reset Switch
²4WD Switch (If equipped)
CAB OUTPUTS
The CAB controls the following outputs for antilock
braking and brake warning information:
²RWAL Valve
²ABS Warning Lamp
²Brake Warning Lamp
