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.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - RADIO
If the vehicle is equipped with the optional remote
radio switches located on the steering wheel and the
problem being diagnosed is related to one of the
symptoms listed below, be certain to check the
remote radio switches and circuits. Refer to Audio,
Remote Radio Switch prior to attempting radio diag-
nosis 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 complete circuit diagrams, refer to the appro-
priate 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 connec-
tors, splices and grounds.
WARNING: ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIR-
BAGS, REFER TO ELECTRICAL, RESTRAINTS

COMPONENT DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. FAILURE
TO TAKE THE PROPER PRECAUTIONS COULD
RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT
AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL INJURY.
CAUTION: The speaker output of the radio receiver
is a ªfloating groundº system. Do not allow any
speaker lead to short to ground, as damage to the
radio receiver may result.
(1) Check the fused B(+) fuse in the junction block.
If OK, go to Step 2. If not OK, repair the shorted cir-
cuit or component as required and replace the faulty
fuse.
(2) Check for battery voltage at the fused B(+) fuse
in the junction block. If OK, go to Step 3. If not OK,
repair the open fused B(+) circuit to the Power Dis-
tribution Center (PDC) as required.
(3) Check the fused ignition switch output (acc/
run) fuse in the junction block. If OK, go to Step 4. If
not OK, repair the shorted circuit or component as
required and replace the faulty fuse(s).
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the On position.
Check for battery voltage at the fused ignition switch
output (acc/run) fuse in the junction block. If OK, go
to Step 5. If not OK, repair the open fused ignition

Two rocker-type switches (Fig. 15) are mounted in
the sides of the rear (instrument panel side) steering
wheel trim cover. The switch on the left side is the
seek switch and has seek up, seek down, and preset
station advance functions. The switch on the right
side is the volume control switch and has volume up,
and volume down functions. The two switches are
retained in mounting holes located on each side of
the rear steering wheel trim cover by four latches
that are integral to the switches.
The remote radio switches share a common steer-
ing wheel wire harness with the vehicle speed control
switches. The steering wheel wire harness is con-
nected to the instrument panel wire harness through
the clockspring. Refer to Electrical, Clockspring for
more information on this component.
OPERATION
The remote radio switches are resistor multiplexed
units that are hard wired to the high-line or pre-
mium CTM through the clockspring. The CTM mon-
itors the status of the remote radio switches and
sends the proper switch status messages on the
Chrysler Collision Detection (CCD) data bus network
to the radio receiver. The electronic circuitry within
the radio is programmed to respond to these remote
radio switch status messages by adjusting the radio
settings as requested.
For diagnosis of the CTM or the CCD data bus, the
use of a DRBIIItscan tool and the proper DiagnosticProcedures manual are recommended. For more
information on the features and control functions for
each of the remote radio switches, 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.

STANDARD PROCEDUREÐVALVE LASH
ADJUSTMENT AND VERIFICATION
NOTE: To obtain accurate readings, valve lash mea-
surements AND adjustments should only be per-
formed when the engine coolant temperature is less
than 60É C (140É F).
The 24±valve overhead system is a ªlow-mainte-
nanceº design. Routine adjustments are no longer
necessary, however, measurement should still take
place when trouble-shooting performance problems,or upon completion of a repair that includes removal
and installation of the valve train components.
(1) Disconnect battery negative cables.
(2) Remove cylinder head cover (Fig. 47) (Refer to
9 - ENGINE/CYLINDER HEAD/CYLINDER HEAD
COVER(S) - REMOVAL).
(3) Remove the crankcase breather and vapor can-
ister (Fig. 48).
(4) Using the crankshaft barring tool #7471±B,
rotate the engine and align the pump gear mark with
the top dead center (TDC) mark on the gear housing
cover (Fig. 49).
(5) With the engine in this position (pump gear
mark at 12 o'clock), valve lash can be measured at
the following rocker arms:INTAKE 1±2±4 /
EXHAUST 1±3±5. Measure the valve lash by insert-
ing a feeler gauge between the rocker arm socket and
crosshead (Fig. 50). Refer to VALVE LASH LIMIT
CHART for the correct specifications. If the measure-
ment fallswithinthe limits, adjustment/resettingis
notnecessary. If measurement finds the lashout-
sideof the limits, adjustment/resettingisrequired.

note:
If measured valve lash falls within these
specifications, no adjustment/reset is necessary.
Engine operation within these ranges has no adverse
affect on performance, emissions, fuel economy or
level of engine noise.

lock nut on rocker arms and turn the adjusting screw
until the desired lash is obtained:
²INTAKE0.254 mm (0.010 in.)
²EXHAUST0.508 mm (0.020 in.) Tighten the
lock nut and re-check the valve lash.
(7) Using the crankshaft barring tool, rotate the
crankshaftone revolution (360É) to align the pump
gear mark to the 6 o'clock position in relation to the
TDC mark on the gear housing cover (Fig. 49).(8) With the engine in this position (pump gear
mark at 6 o'clock), valve lash can be measured at the
remaining rocker arms:INTAKE 3±5±6 / EXHAUST
2±4±6. Use the same method as above for determin-
ing whether adjustment is necessary, and adjust
those that are found to be outside of the limits.
