2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE door modules

Programmable Communications Interface (PCI) data
bus network.
For diagnosis of the HSM, MHSM or the PCI data
bus, a DRBIIItscan tool and the proper Diagnostic
Procedures manual are recommended. The HSM or
MHSM cannot be repaired and, if faulty or damaged,
it must be replaced.
OPERATION
The MSM receives hard wired inputs from the
power seat switch and the potentiometers on each of
the driver side power seat motors. The MSM receives
messages over the PCI data bus from the Driver
Door Module (DDM) (memory switch status), the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) (vehicle speed sta-
tus), and the Body Control Module (seat belt switch
status).The MSM will prevent the seat memory recall
function from being initiated if the driver side seat
belt is buckled, if the transmission gear selector lever
is not in the Park or Neutral positions, or if the vehi-
cle is moving.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - IGNITION-OFF
DRAW TEST
The term Ignition-Off Draw (IOD) identifies a nor-
mal condition where power is being drained from the
battery with the ignition switch in the Off position. A
normal vehicle electrical system will draw from five
to thirty-five milliamperes (0.005 to 0.035 ampere)
with the ignition switch in the Off position, and all
non-ignition controlled circuits in proper working
order. Up to thirty-five milliamperes are needed to
enable the memory functions for the Powertrain Con-
trol Module (PCM), digital clock, electronically tuned
radio, and other modules which may vary with the
vehicle equipment.
A vehicle that has not been operated for approxi-
mately twenty days, may discharge the battery to an
inadequate level. When a vehicle will not be used for
twenty days or more (stored), remove the IOD fuse
from the Power Distribution Center (PDC). This will
reduce battery discharging.Excessive IOD can be caused by:
²Electrical items left on.
²Faulty or improperly adjusted switches.
²Faulty or shorted electronic modules and compo-
nents.
²An internally shorted generator.
²Intermittent shorts in the wiring.
If the IOD is over thirty-five milliamperes, the
problem must be found and corrected before replac-
ing a battery. In most cases, the battery can be
charged and returned to service after the excessive
IOD condition has been corrected.
(1) Verify that all electrical accessories are off.
Turn off all lamps, remove the ignition key, and close
all doors. If the vehicle is equipped with an illumi-
nated entry system or an electronically tuned radio,
allow the electronic timer function of these systems
to automatically shut off (time out). This may take
up to three minutes. See the Electronic Module Igni-
tion-Off Draw Table for more information.

(2) Determine that the underhood lamp is operat-
ing properly, then disconnect the lamp wire harness
connector or remove the lamp bulb.
(3) Disconnect the battery negative cable.
(4) Set an electronic digital multi-meter to its
highest amperage scale. Connect the multi-meter
between the disconnected battery negative cable ter-
minal clamp and the battery negative terminal post.
Make sure that the doors remain closed so that the
illuminated entry system is not activated. The multi-
meter amperage reading may remain high for up tothree minutes, or may not give any reading at all
while set in the highest amperage scale, depending
upon the electrical equipment in the vehicle. The
multi-meter leads must be securely clamped to the
battery negative cable terminal clamp and the bat-
tery negative terminal post. If continuity between the
battery negative terminal post and the negative cable
terminal clamp is lost during any part of the IOD
test, the electronic timer function will be activated
and all of the tests will have to be repeated.

DESCRIPTION - REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER
An electrically heated rear window defogger is
standard factory-installed equipment on this model.
Electrically heated outside rear view mirrors are
available factory-installed optional equipment. When
the rear window defogger system is turned on, elec-
tric heater grids on the liftgate flip-up glass and
behind both outside rear view mirror glasses are
energized. These electric heater grids produce heat to
help clear the rear window glass and the outside rear
view mirrors of ice, snow, or fog. The rear window
defogger system control circuit uses ignition switched
battery current, so the system will only operate when
the ignition switch is in the On position.
This group covers the following components of the
rear window defogger system:
²Rear glass heating grid
²Rear window defogger relay²Rear window defogger switch.
Certain functions and features of the rear window
defogger system rely upon resources shared with
other electronic modules in the vehicle over the Pro-
grammable Communications Interface (PCI) data bus
network. The PCI data bus network allows the shar-
ing of sensor information. This helps to reduce wire
harness complexity, internal controller hardware, and
component sensor current loads. At the same time,
this system provides increased reliability, enhanced
diagnostics, and allows the addition of many new fea-
ture capabilities. For diagnosis of these electronic
modules or of the PCI data bus network, use a
DRBIIItscan tool and (Refer to Appropriate Diagnos-
tic Information).
The other electronic modules that may affect
proper system operation are:
²Body Control Module (BCM)- Refer to Elec-
tronic Control Modules for more information.
²Driver Door Module (DDM)- Refer to Elec-
tronic Control Modules for more information.
WJHEATED SYSTEMS 8G - 1

²Passenger Door Module (PDM)- Refer to
Electronic Control Modules for more information.
OPERATION - REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER
The rear window defogger system is controlled by a
momentary switch that is integral to the a/c heater
control located in the center stack area of the instru-
ment panel. A Light-Emitting Diode (LED) in the
switch button will light to indicate when the rear
window defogger system is turned on. The BCM,
which contains the rear window defogger system
timer and control logic, monitors the status of the
defogger switch through a hard-wired input. The
BCM then sends control outputs through a hard
wired circuit to energize or de-energize the defogger
relay.
The electrically heated outside rear view mirror
heating grids are also controlled by the rear window
defogger switch. When the BCM receives an input
from the switch, it sends a defogger switch status
message to the DDM and the PDM over the PCI data
bus. The DDM and PDM respond to the defogger
switch status messages by energizing or de-energiz-
ing the battery current feed to their respective out-
side rear view mirror heating grids.
The rear window defogger system will be automat-
ically turned off after a programmed time interval of
about ten minutes. After the initial time interval has
expired, if the defogger switch is turned on again
during the same ignition cycle, the defogger system
will automatically turn off after about five minutes.
The defogger system will automatically shut off if the
ignition switch is turned to the Off position, or it can
be turned off manually by depressing the rear win-
dow defogger switch again.
See the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for
more information on the features, use and operation
of the rear window defogger system.

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 AN ACCIDENTAL
AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE PERSONAL
INJURY.For complete circuit diagrams, (Refer to Appropri-
ate Wiring Information). The operation of the electri-
cally heated rear window defogger system can be
confirmed in one of the following manners:
1. Turn the ignition switch to the On position.
While monitoring the instrument panel voltmeter,
depress the rear window defogger switch to the On
position. When the rear window defogger switch is
turned On, a distinct voltmeter needle deflection
should be noted.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the On position.
Depress the rear window defogger switch to the On
position. The rear window defogger operation can be
checked by feeling the rear window or outside rear
view mirror glass. A distinct difference in tempera-
ture between the grid lines and the adjacent clear
glass or the mirror glass can be detected within three
to four minutes of operation.
3. Using a 12-volt DC voltmeter, contact the rear
glass heating grid terminal A (right side) with the
negative lead, and terminal B (left side) with the pos-
itive lead (Fig. 1). The voltmeter should read battery
voltage.
The above checks will confirm rear window defog-
ger system operation. Illumination of the rear win-
dow defogger switch LED indicator means that there
is battery current available at the output of the rear
window defogger relay, but does not confirm that bat-
tery current is reaching the rear glass heating grid
lines.
If the rear window defogger system does not oper-
ate, the problem should be isolated in the following
manner:

HEADLAMP SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The headlamp switch is part of the left multi-func-
tion switch. A knob on the end of the multi-function
switch control stalk controls all of the exterior light-
ing switch functions. The exterior lighting switch is
hard wired to the Body Control Module (BCM).
The exterior lighting switch cannot be adjusted or
repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the entire left
multi-function switch unit must be replaced. (Refer
to 8 - ELECTRICAL/LAMPS/LIGHTING - EXTERI-
OR/TURN SIGNAL/HAZARD SWITCH - REMOVAL)
for the service procedures. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRI-
CAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES/BODY
CONTROL/CENTRAL TIMER MODUL - DESCRIP-
TION) for more information on this component.
OPERATION
The exterior lighting switch uses a hard wired five
volt reference circuit from the BCM, resistor multi-
plexing and a hard wired switch output circuit to
provide the BCM with a zero to five volt signal thatindicates the status of all of the exterior lighting
switch settings. The BCM then uses control outputs
to energize the headlamp and park lamp relays that
activate the exterior lighting circuits.
The BCM monitors the exterior lighting switch sta-
tus, then sends the proper switch status messages to
other modules over the Programmable Communica-
tions Interface (PCI) data bus network. The exterior
lighting switch status is also used by the BCM as an
input for chime warning system operation.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING Ð HEADLAMP
SWITCH
Before testing the headlamp switch, turn on the
exterior lighting and open the driver side front door.
If the exterior lamps of the vehicle operate, but there
is no chime warning issued with the driver side front
door open, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/LAMPS/
LIGHTING - INTERIOR/DOOR AJAR SWITCH -
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). If the exterior lamps
of the vehicle are inoperative, but the chime warning
is issued, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/LAMPS/LIGHT-
ING - EXTERIOR - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
If the exterior lamps and the chime warning are
both inoperative, test the left multi-function switch.
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/LAMPS/LIGHTING -
EXTERIOR - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). If the
multi-function switch tests OK, proceed as follows.
The following tests will help to locate a short or open
in the hard wired circuits between the multi-function
switch and the Body Control Module (BCM). For
complete circuit diagrams, refer to the appropriate
wiring information.

DESCRIPTION - LIFTGATE AJAR SWITCH
The two liftgate ajar switches are integral to the
two liftgate latch mechanisms. The two liftgate ajar
switches are actuated by the liftgate latch mecha-
nisms, and are hard wired with each other between a
body ground and the Body Control Module (BCM)
through the liftgate and body wire harnesses.
The liftgate ajar switches cannot be adjusted or
repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the liftgate latch
unit must be replaced. (Refer to 23 - BODY/DECK-
LID/HATCH/LIFTGATE/TAILGATE/LATCH -

OPERATION
OPERATION - DOOR AJAR SWITCH
The front door ajar switches close a path to ground
for the DDM or the PDM when a front door is
opened, and opens the ground path when a front door
is closed. The rear door ajar switches close a path to
ground for the BCM when a rear door is opened, and
opens the ground path when a rear door is closed.
The DDM, PDM, or BCM read the switch status then
send the proper switch status messages to other
modules over the Programmable Communications
Interface (PCI) data bus network. The door ajar
switch status message is used by the BCM as an
input for Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS) oper-
ation.
OPERATION - FLIP UP GLASS AJAR SWITCH
The liftgate flip-up glass ajar switch can close a
path to ground for the BCM and the rear wiper
motor module when the liftgate flip-up glass is
opened, and opens the ground path when the liftgate
flip-up glass is closed. The rear wiper motor module
uses the liftgate flip-up glass ajar switch input to
control the rear wiper operation, and will park the
rear wiper blade if this input indicates that the lift-
gate flip-up glass is ajar. The BCM reads the switch
status then sends the proper switch status message
to other modules over the Programmable Communi-cations Interface (PCI) data bus network. The liftgate
flip-up glass ajar switch status message is used by
the BCM as an input for Vehicle Theft Security Sys-
tem (VTSS) operation.
OPERATION - LIFTGATE AJAR SWITCH
Each of the liftgate ajar switches can close a path
to ground for the BCM when the liftgate is opened,
and opens the ground path when the liftgate is
closed. The BCM reads the switch status then sends
the proper switch status message to other modules
over the Programmable Communications Interface
(PCI) data bus network. The liftgate ajar switch sta-
tus message is used by the BCM as an input for
Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS) operation.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - DOOR AJAR
SWITCH
The following diagnosis and testing is only
for the chime functions. For interior lamp diag-
nosis, refer to the appropriate wiring informa-
tion.The driver door ajar switch is hard wired to the
Driver Door Module (DDM). The DDM communicates
the switch status to the other modules in the vehicle
on the Programmable Communications Interface
(PCI) data bus network. The following test will diag-
nose a faulty driver door ajar switch and circuits. For
complete circuit diagrams, refer to the appropriate

wire harnesses, which are routed throughout the
vehicle and retained by many different methods.
These circuits may be connected to each other, to the
vehicle electrical system and to the power lock sys-
tem components through the use of a combination of
soldered splices, splice block connectors, and many
different types of wire harness terminal connectors
and insulators. Refer to the appropriate wiring infor-
mation. The wiring information includes wiring dia-
grams, proper wire and connector repair procedures,
further details on wire harness routing and reten-
tion, as well as pin-out and location views for the
various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.
DESCRIPTION - REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY
SYSTEM
A Radio Frequency (RF) type Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) system is standard factory-installed
equipment on this model. The RKE system allows
the use of a remote battery-powered radio transmit-
ter to control the power lock system. The RKE
receiver operates on non-switched battery current
through a fuse in the Power Distribution Center
(PDC), so that the system remains operational,
regardless of the ignition switch position.
In addition to Lock and Unlock buttons, the RKE
transmitters are also equipped with a Panic button.
If the Panic button on the RKE transmitter is
depressed, the horn will sound and the exterior lights
will flash on the vehicle for about three minutes, or
until the Panic button is depressed a second time, if
ignition is in the Off position. A vehicle speed of
about 24 kilometers-per-hour (15 miles-per-hour) will
also cancel the panic event.
The RKE system can also perform other functions
on this vehicle. If the vehicle is equipped with the
optional Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS), the
RKE transmitter will arm the VTSS when the Lock
button is depressed, and disarm the VTSS when the
Unlock button is depressed. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRI-
CAL/VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY - DESCRIPTION
- VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY SYSTEM). If the
vehicle is equipped with the optional Memory Sys-
tem, each of the two numbered and color-coded RKE
transmitters can be used to recall the stored driver
side front seat position, both outside power rear view
mirror positions, and the radio station presets for the
two assigned drivers. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
POWER SEATS - DESCRIPTION - MEMORY SYS-
TEM).
