2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE driveline

STANDARD PROCEDURE - DISC ROTOR
MACHINING
CAUTION: For vehicles equipped with the Quadra-
Drive System, consisting of the NV-247 transfer case
and a Vari-Lok differential in the front and rear axles,
the following steps must be done prior to the use of a
hub mounted on-vehicle brake lathe. Disconnect the
driveshaft (Refer to 3 - DIFFERENTIAL & DRIVELINE/
PROPELLER SHAFT/PROPELLER SHAFT - REMOVAL)
from the respective axle on which the brake rotors are
being machined. Temporarily remove both brake cali-
pers (Refer to 5 - BRAKES/HYDRAULIC/MECHANICAL/
DISC BRAKE CALIPERS - REMOVAL) from the axle
while disc rotor machining is in process. Both steps
will prevent unnecessary loads to the hub mounted
on-vehicle lathe and speed machining times. Install a
thread lock material to the driveshaft attaching bolts
when reinstalling (Refer to 3 - DIFFERENTIAL & DRIV-
ELINE/PROPELLER SHAFT/PROPELLER SHAFT -
INSTALLATION).
NOTE: A hub mounted on-vehicle lathe is recom-
mended. This type of lathe trues the rotor to the vehi-
cles hub/bearing.
The disc brake rotor can be machined if scored or
worn. The lathe must machine both sides of the rotor
simultaneously with dual cutter heads. The rotor
mounting surface must be clean before placing on the
lathe. Equipment capable of machining only one side at
a time may produce a tapered rotor.
CAUTION: Brake rotors that do not meet minimum
thickness specifications before or after machining
must be replaced.
REMOVAL
REMOVAL - FRONT DISC BRAKE ROTOR
NOTE: Front rotors and hub/bearings are matched
mounted for minimum lateral runout. Before removing
the rotor, mark the rotor and hub/bearing to maintain
original orientation.
(1) Raise and support the vehicle.
(2) Remove wheel and tire assembly.
(3) Remove the caliper anchor bolts (Fig. 64) and
remove the caliper and anchor as an assembly from the
steering knuckle.
(4) Secure caliper anchor assembly to nearby suspen-
sion part with a wire.Do not allow brake hose to
support caliper weight.
(5) Mark the rotor and hub/bearing to maintain orig-
inal orientation. Remove retainers securing rotor to hub
studs.
(6) Remove rotor from hub/bearing.
REMOVAL - REAR DISC BRAKE ROTOR
(1) Raise and support the vehicle.
(2) Remove wheel and tire assembly.
(3) Remove the caliper anchor bolts (Fig. 65).

sion part with wire.Do not allow brake hose to sup-
port caliper weight.
(6) Remove retainers securing rotor to axle studs.
(7) Remove rotor off axle studs.

SHIFT INDICATOR (TRANSFER
CASE)
DESCRIPTION
A part time indicator is standard equipment on all
instrument clusters, but is only functional on vehi-
cles equipped with the standard equipment Selec-
Trac four-wheel drive system. The part time indicator
is located near the right edge of the instrument clus-
ter, to the right of the speedometer. The part time
indicator consists of the words ªPART TIMEº
imprinted on an amber lens. The lens is located
behind a cutout in the opaque layer of the instru-
ment cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the
overlay prevents the indicator from being clearly vis-
ible when it is not illuminated. The words ªPART
TIMEº appear silhouetted against an amber field
through the translucent outer layer of the overlay
when the indicator is illuminated from behind by a
replaceable incandescent bulb and bulb holder unit
located on the instrument cluster electronic circuit
board. The part time indicator lens is serviced as a
unit with the instrument cluster lens, hood and mask
unit.
OPERATION
The part time indicator gives an indication to the
vehicle operator that a four-wheel drive part time
operating mode of the transfer case is selected. On
vehicles with the standard equipment Selec-Trac
four-wheel drive system, the part time indicator illu-
minates when the NV-242 transfer case is engaged in
either the4X4Part Time or 4 Lo positions. This
indicator is controlled by a transistor on the instru-
ment cluster electronic circuit board based upon clus-
ter programming and electronic messages received by
the cluster from the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) over the Programmable Communications
Interface (PCI) data bus. The part time indicator
bulb is completely controlled by the instrument clus-
ter logic circuit, and that logic will only allow this
indicator to operate when the instrument cluster
receives a battery current input on the fused ignition
switch output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the indi-
cator will always be off when the ignition switch is in
any position except On or Start. The bulb only illu-
minates when it is provided a path to ground by the
instrument cluster transistor. The instrument cluster
will turn on the part time indicator for the following
reasons:
²Part Time Indicator Lamp-On Message-
Each time the cluster receives a part time indicator
lamp-on message from the PCM indicating that a
four-wheel drive part time position of the transfer
case has been selected, the part time indicator will beilluminated. The indicator remains illuminated until
the cluster receives a part time indicator lamp-off
message from the PCM.
²Actuator Test- Each time the cluster is put
through the actuator test, the part time indicator will
be turned on for the duration of the test to confirm
the functionality of the bulb and the cluster control
circuitry.
The PCM continually monitors the transfer case
switch to determine the driveline operating mode.
The PCM then sends the proper part time indicator
lamp-on and lamp-off messages to the instrument
cluster. If the part time indicator fails to light during
the actuator test, replace the bulb with a known good
unit. For further diagnosis of the part time indicator
or the instrument cluster circuitry that controls the
indicator, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/INSTRUMENT
CLUSTER - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING). For
proper diagnosis of the transfer case switch, the
PCM, the PCI data bus, or the electronic message
inputs to the instrument cluster that control the part
time indicator, a DRBIIItscan tool is required. Refer
to the appropriate diagnostic information.
SKIS INDICATOR
DESCRIPTION
A Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) indicator
is standard equipment on all instrument clusters, but
is only operational on vehicles equipped with the
optional SKIS. The SKIS indicator is located in the
upper right corner of the instrument cluster, to the
right of the speedometer. The SKIS indicator consists
of a graphical representation or icon of a circled and
crossed-out key imprinted on an amber lens. The lens
is located behind a cutout in the opaque layer of the
instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of
the overlay prevents the indicator from being clearly
visible when it is not illuminated. The icon appears
silhouetted against an amber field through the trans-
lucent outer layer of the overlay when it is illumi-
nated from behind by an incandescent bulb and bulb
holder unit located on the instrument cluster elec-
tronic circuit board. The SKIS indicator lens is ser-
viced as a unit with the instrument cluster lens, hood
and mask unit.
OPERATION
The Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) indica-
tor gives an indication to the vehicle operator of the
status of the SKIS. This indicator is controlled by a
transistor on the instrument cluster electronic circuit
board based upon cluster programming and elec-
tronic messages received by the cluster from the Sen-
try Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM) over the
WJINSTRUMENT CLUSTER 8J - 29

CAUTION: Be sure the shoulder on the inside diam-
eter of the bearing is facing forward.
(8) Verify that splines in overdrive planetary gear
and overrunning clutch hub are aligned with Align-
ment Tool 6227-2. Overdrive unit cannot be installed
if splines are not aligned. If splines have rotated out
of alignment, unit will have to be disassembled to
realign splines.

overdrive planetary gear and overrunning clutch
splines.

rotate out of alignment. If this occurs, it will be nec-essary to remove and disassemble overdrive unit to
realign splines.
(11) Work overdrive unit forward on intermediate
shaft until seated against transmission case.

essary. (Refer to 3 - DIFFERENTIAL & DRIVELINE/

OVERRUNNING CLUTCH
CAM/OVERDRIVE PISTON
RETAINER
DESCRIPTION
The overrunning clutch (Fig. 189) consists of an
inner race, an outer race (or cam), rollers and
springs, and the spring retainer. The number of roll-
ers and springs depends on what transmission and
which overrunning clutch is being dealt with.
OPERATION
As the inner race is rotated in a clockwise direction
(as viewed from the front of the transmission), the
race causes the rollers to roll toward the springs,
causing them to compress against their retainer. The
compression of the springs increases the clearance
