2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Indicator

OPERATION
The Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS) indica-
tor gives a visible indication of the VTSS arming sta-
tus. One side of Light-Emittiong Diode (LED) in the
VTSS indicator is connected to unswitched battery
current through a fused B(+) circuit and a fuse in the
Junction Block (JB). The other side of the LED is
hard wired to the Body Control Module (BCM), which
controls the operation of the VTSS indicator by pull-
ing this side of the LED circuit to ground. When the
VTSS arming is in progress, the BCM will flash the
LED rapidly on and off for about fifteen seconds.
When the VTSS has been successfully armed, the
BCM will flash the LED on and off continually at a
much slower rate until the VTSS has been disarmed.
The VTSS indicator can be diagnosed using conven-
tional diagnostic tools and methods.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - VTSS INDICATOR
The diagnosis found here addresses an inoperative
Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS) indicator con-
dition. If the problem being diagnosed is related to
indicator accuracy, be certain to confirm that the
problem is with the indicator and not with an inop-
erative VTSS. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/VEHICLE
THEFT SECURITY - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING -
VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY SYSTEM). If no VTSS
problem is found, the following procedure will help to
locate a short or open in the VTSS indicator control
circuit. Refer to the appropriate wiring information.
WARNING: ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIR-
BAGS, DISABLE THE AIRBAG SYSTEM BEFORE
ATTEMPTING ANY STEERING WHEEL, STEERING
COLUMN, OR INSTRUMENT PANEL COMPONENT
DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. DISCONNECT AND ISO-
LATE THE BATTERY NEGATIVE (GROUND) CABLE,
THEN WAIT TWO MINUTES FOR THE AIRBAG SYS-
TEM CAPACITOR TO DISCHARGE BEFORE PER-
FORMING FURTHER DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. THIS
IS THE ONLY SURE WAY TO DISABLE THE AIRBAG
SYSTEM. FAILURE TO TAKE THE PROPER PRE-CAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL AIR-
BAG DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL
INJURY.
(1) Check the fused B(+) fuse in the Junction
Block (JB). If OK, go to Step 2. If not OK, repair the
shorted circuit or component and replace the faulty
fuse.
(2) Check for battery voltage at the fused B(+) fuse
in the JB. If OK, go to Step 3. If not OK, repair the
open fused B(+) circuit between the JB and the
Power Distribution Center (PDC).
(3) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable. Disconnect the instrument panel wire harness
connector for the automatic headlamp light sensor/
VTSS indicator from the automatic headlamp light
sensor/VTSS indicator pigtail wire connector. Recon-
nect the battery negative cable. Check for battery
voltage at the fused B(+) circuit cavity of the instru-
ment panel wire harness connector for the automatic
headlamp light sensor/VTSS indicator. If OK, go to
Step 4. If not OK, repair the open fused B(+) circuit
between the VTSS indicator and the JB.
(4) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable. Disconnect the instrument panel wire harness
connector for the JB from the JB connector recepta-
cle. Check for continuity between the VTSS indicator
driver circuit cavity of the instrument panel wire
harness connector for the automatic headlamp light
sensor/VTSS indicator and a good ground. There
should be no continuity. If OK, go to Step 5. If not
OK, repair the shorted VTSS indicator driver circuit
between the VTSS indicator and the JB.
(5) Check for continuity between the VTSS indica-
tor driver circuit of the instrument panel wire har-
ness connector for the automatic headlamp light
sensor/VTSS indicator and the instrument panel wire
harness connector for the JB. There should be conti-
nuity. If OK, replace the faulty VTSS indicator. If not
OK, repair the open VTSS indicator driver circuit
between the VTSS indicator and the JB.

switch mounting housing. Tighten the screws to 2.5
N´m (22 in. lbs.).
(3) Reconnect the instrument panel wire harness
connector for the right multi-function switch to the
switch connector receptacle.
(4) Position the lower tilting steering column
shroud to the underside of the steering column (Fig.
18).
(5) Install and tighten the screw that secures the
lower tilting steering column shroud to the multi-
function switch mounting housing. Tighten the screw
to 1.9 N´m (17 in. lbs.).
(6) Position the upper tilting column shroud over
the steering column with the hazard warning switch
button inserted through the hole in the upper surface
of the shroud. Align the upper tilting steering column
shroud to the lower shroud and snap the two shroud
halves together.
(7) Reconnect the battery negative cable.
WASHER FLUID LEVEL
SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The washer fluid level switch is a single pole, sin-
gle throw reed-type switch mounted near the front of
the washer reservoir, forward of the two washer
pump/motors (Fig. 20). Only the molded plastic
switch mounting flange and connector receptacle are
visible when the switch is installed in the reservoir.A short nipple formation extends from the inner sur-
face of the switch mounting flange, and a barb on the
nipple near the switch mounting flange is press-fit
into a rubber grommet seal installed in the mounting
hole of the reservoir. A small plastic float pivots on
the end of a bracket that extends from the switch
nipple formation. Within the float is a small magnet,
which actuates the reed switch. The washer fluid
level switch cannot be adjusted or repaired. If faulty
or damaged, the switch must be replaced.
OPERATION
The washer fluid level switch uses a pivoting,
oblong float to monitor the level of the washer fluid
in the washer reservoir. The float contains a small
magnet. When the float pivots, the changing proxim-
ity of its magnetic field will cause the contacts of the
small, stationary reed switch to open or close. When
the fluid level in the washer reservoir is at or above
the float level, the float moves to a vertical position
and the switch contacts open. When the fluid level in
the washer reservoir falls below the pivoting float,
the float moves to a horizontal position and the
switch contacts close. The switch is connected to the
vehicle electrical system through a dedicated take
out and connector of the left headlamp and dash wire
harness. The switch receives a five volt reference sig-
nal from the Body Control Module (BCM) through
the washer fluid switch output circuit. The switch is
grounded at all times through another take out of
the left headlamp and dash wire harness with a sin-
gle eyelet terminal connector that is secured under a
ground screw near the top of the left front fender
inner shield in the engine compartment.
When the switch closes, the BCM senses the volt-
age change on the circuit. The BCM is programmed
to send low washer fluid messages to the Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) over the Program-
mable Communications Interface (PCI) data bus. The
EVIC is programmed to respond to this message by
displaying the Washer Fluid Low warning and send-
ing a chime request message back to the BCM over
the PCI data bus. Then the BCM generates an audi-
ble chime tone warning. A resistor within the washer
fluid level switch allows the BCM to monitor and
diagnose this circuit. The BCM will store a Diagnos-
tic Trouble Code (DTC) for any fault that it detects.
For retrieval of this fault information and further
diagnosis of the washer fluid level switch, the BCM,
the EVIC, the PCI data bus, the BCM message out-
puts to the EVIC that control the Low Washer Fluid
indicator, or the EVIC message outputs to the BCM
that control chime service, a DRBIIItscan tool and
the appropriate diagnostic information are required.
