BRAKE LINES
DESCRIPTION
Flexible rubber hose is used at both front brakes,
rear brakes and at the rear axle junction block. Dou-
ble walled steel tubing is used. Double inverted style
and ISO style flares are used on the brake lines.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - BRAKE HOSES
AND LINES
Flexible rubber hose is used at both front and rear
brakes and at the rear axle junction block. Inspect
the hoses whenever the brake system is serviced, at
every engine oil change, or whenever the vehicle is in
for service.
Inspect the hoses for surface cracking, scuffing, or
worn spots. Replace any brake hose immediately if
the fabric casing of the hose is exposed due to cracks
or abrasions.
Also check brake hose installation. Faulty installa-
tion can result in kinked, twisted hoses, or contact
with the wheels and tires or other chassis compo-
nents. All of these conditions can lead to scuffing,
cracking and eventual failure.
The steel brake lines should be inspected periodi-
cally for evidence of corrosion, twists, kinks, leaks, or
other damage. Heavily corroded lines will eventually
rust through causing leaks. In any case, corroded or
damaged brake lines should be replaced.
Factory replacement brake lines and hoses are rec-
ommended to ensure quality, correct length and supe-
rior fatigue life. Care should be taken to make sure
that brake line and hose mating surfaces are clean
and free from nicks and burrs. Also remember that
right and left brake hoses are not interchangeable.
Use new copper gaskets at all caliper connections.
Be sure brake line connections are properly made
(not cross threaded) and tightened to recommended
torque.

for door and liftgate open indications and to show if a
turn signal has been left on. The EVIC messages and
displays are coordinated with warning indicators in
the instrument cluster to avoid duplication.
The EVIC module contains a central processing
unit and interfaces with other electronic modules in
the vehicle over the Programmable Communications
Interface (PCI) data bus network. The PCI data bus
network allows the sharing of sensor information.
This helps to reduce wire harness complexity, reduce
internal controller hardware, and reduce component
sensor current loads. At the same time, this system
provides increased reliability, enhanced diagnostics,
and allows the addition of many new feature capabil-
ities.
The EVIC module includes the following display
options:
²Compass and Temperature- provides the out-
side temperature and one of eight compass readings
to indicate the direction the vehicle is facing.
²Average fuel economy- shows the average
fuel economy since the last trip computer reset.
²Distance to empty- shows the estimated dis-
tance that can be travelled with the fuel remaining
in the fuel tank. This estimated distance is computed
using the average miles-per-gallon from the last 30
gallons of fuel used.
²Instant fuel economy- shows the present fuel
economy based upon the current vehicle distance and
fuel used information.
²Trip distance- shows the distance travelled
since the last trip computer reset.
²Elapsed time- shows the accumulated igni-
tion-on time since the last trip computer reset.
²Distance to service- shows the distance
remaining until the next scheduled service interval.
²Tire Pressure- shows the tire pressure in each
tire.
²Blank screen- the EVIC compass/temperature/
trip computer VFD is turned off.
The EVIC is capable of displaying the following
alert messages, which are accompanied by an audible
announcement consisting of a series of beeps:
²TURN SIGNALS ON (with vehicle graphic)-
Indicates that a turn signal has remained on for
about 1.6 kilometers (one mile).
²PERFORM SERVICE- Indicates that a cus-
tomer programmable service interval distance has
been reached.
²DOOR OPEN (one or more, with vehicle
graphic)- Indicates that a door is open or not fully
closed.
²LIFTGATE OPEN (with vehicle graphic)-
Indicates that the liftgate is open or not fully closed.
²LIFTGLASS OPEN (with vehicle graphic)-
Indicates that the liftglass is open or not fully closed.²COOLANT LEVEL LOW (with vehicle
graphic)- Indicates that the coolant level in the
engine coolant reservoir is low.
²XX LOW PRESSURE (with vehicle graphic)
- Indicates that the air pressure in the selected tire
is low.
²WASHER FLUID LOW (with vehicle
graphic)- Indicates that the fluid level in the
washer fluid reservoir is low.
The EVIC ªMenuº push button provides the vehicle
operator with a user interface, which allows the
selection of several optional customer programmable
electronic features to suit individual preferences.
Refer toELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFORMA-
TION CENTER PROGRAMMINGin the Service
Procedures section of this group for more information
on the customer programmable feature options.
If the vehicle is equipped with the optional mem-
ory system, the EVIC will display the following mem-
ory system messages:
²MEMORY #X POSITION SET (X = Driver 1
or Driver 2)- This message appears in the EVIC
display each time the memory system is successfully
programmed. It is accompanied by an audible
announcement chime tone.
²MEMORY SYSTEM DISABLED- The memory
system is automatically disabled while the driver
side seat belt is fastened and/or while the automatic
transmission gear selector is in any position except
Park or Neutral. This message appears in the EVIC
display as a reminder when a memory switch push
button is depressed while the memory system is dis-
abled. If the REMOTE LINKED TO MEMORY cus-
tomer programmable feature has been selected, this
message will also appear when the Unlock button of
the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter is
depressed while the memory system is disabled.
If the vehicle is equipped with the optional Univer-
sal Transmitter transceiver, the EVIC will also dis-
play messages and an icon indicating when the
Universal Transmitter is being trained, which of the
three transmitter buttons is transmitting, and when
the transceiver is cleared.
If the vehicle is equipped with the optionalTire
Pressure Monitoring System, the EVIC will also
display messages and an icon indicating when the
tire air pressure falls below a given set-point, and
which of the five tires is transmitting the low pres-
sure warning, and when the condition is cleared.
Refer to the Tires/Wheels section of this manual for
complete Tire Pressure Monitoring System descrip-
tion. Refer to this section of the service manual for
EVIC modules function description for the Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring.
Data input for all EVIC functions, including VFD
dimming level, is received through PCI data bus
WJMESSAGE SYSTEMS 8M - 7

data bus messages are being received for initial oper-
ation. Initiate the self-diagnostic test as follows:
(1) With the ignition switch in the Off position,
simultaneously depress and hold the C/T button and
the Reset button.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the On position.
(3) Continue to hold both buttons depressed until
the EVIC software version information is displayed,
then release both buttons.
(4) Following completion of these tests, the EVIC
module will display one of the following messages:
a.Pass Self Test- Momentarily depress and
release the Reset button to return to the compass/
temperature/trip computer display mode. The EVIC
module is working properly.
b.Failed Self Test- The EVIC module has an
internal failure. The EVIC module is faulty and must
be replaced.
c.Not Receiving J1850 Message- The EVIC
module is not receiving proper message input
through the PCI data bus. This can result from one
or more faulty electronic modules in the vehicle, or
from a faulty PCI data bus. The use of a DRB scan
tool and the proper Diagnostic Procedures manual
are required for further diagnosis.
NOTE: If the compass functions, but accuracy is
suspect, it may be necessary to perform a variation
adjustment. This procedure allows the compass
unit to accommodate variations in the earth's mag-
netic field strength, based on geographic location.
Refer to Compass Variation Adjustment in the Stan-
dard Procedures section of this group.
NOTE: If the compass reading displays a blank, and
only ªCALº appears in the display, demagnetizing
may be necessary to remove excessive residual
magnetic fields from the vehicle. Refer to Compass
Demagnetizing in the Standard Procedures section
of this group.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TIRE PRESSURE
SYSTEM TEST
The following test can be used to verify two func-
tions. One, that the tire pressure sensors are trans-
mitting properly and two, the EVIC module is
receiving these transmissions accordingly.
(1) Retrain the tire sensors (Refer to 22 - TIRES/
WHEELS/TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING/SEN-
SOR - STANDARD PROCEDURE). The tire sensors
must be retrained in order to set the proper trans-
mitting time cycle (twice a minute), failure to retrain
the sensors will cause a much slower transmitting
time cycle (once a hour).(2) Using the STEP button on the overhead con-
sole, scroll to the blank display, then press the
RESET button for five seconds, a beep will sound
indicating the start of this test. The vehicle icon and
transmission counters will now be displayed, (same
display as individual tire pressure except counters
replace tire pressure values).
(3) Upon entering the test mode, the EVIC will
clear the sensor counter and each time a sensor sig-
nal for a road tire is received, the EVIC will update
the counter value (vehicle must be driven at 25 mph
to transmit). The counter values should all read the
same value. If any of the road tires indicate a differ-
ent value than another tire sensor, this is a sign of a
problem. Replace the appropriate tire sensor and
retest the system. This test will continue until any of
the overhead console buttons are pressed or the igni-
tion is turned off.
NOTE: Pressing the RESET button during the test
will sound a beep and reset all the counter values
back to zero.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Remove the overhead console from the head-
liner (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/OVERHEAD CON-
SOLE - REMOVAL).
(3) Remove the four screws that secure the Elec-
tronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) module to
the overhead console housing (Fig. 5).
(4) Remove the EVIC module from the overhead
console housing.
INSTALLATION
(1) Position the EVIC module onto the overhead
console housing.
(2) Install and tighten the four screws that secure
the EVIC module to the overhead console housing.
Tighten the screws to 0.9 N´m (8 in. lbs.).
(3) Install the overhead console onto the headliner
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/OVERHEAD CONSOLE -
INSTALLATION).
(4) Reconnect the battery negative cable.
NOTE: If a new EVIC module has been installed, the
compass will have to be calibrated and the variance
set. Refer to Compass Variation Adjustment and
Compass Calibration in the Service Procedures sec-
tion of this group for the procedures.

ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFO CENTER (Continued)

NOTE: If the vehicle is equipped with the Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring (TPM) System, and the overhead
console electronics module is removed or replaced,
the TPM system will need to be retrained. Refer to
the Tires/Wheels section of this manual for the pro-
cedure.
UNIVERSAL TRANSMITTER
DESCRIPTION
The Grand Cherokee Limited model has a Univer-
sal Garage Door Opener (UGDO) transceiver as stan-
dard factory-installed equipment. The UGDO is
optional on Laredo models. The UGDO transceiver is
integral to the Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC), which is located in the overhead console. The
only visible component of the UGDO are the three
transmitter push buttons centered between the four
EVIC push buttons located just rearward of the
EVIC display screen in the overhead console. The
three UGDO transmitter push buttons are identified
with one, two or three dots so that they be easily
identified by sight.
Each of the three UGDO transmitter push buttons
controls an independent radio transmitter channel.
Each of these three channels can be trained to trans-
mit a different radio frequency signal for the remoteoperation of garage door openers, motorized gate
openers, home or office lighting, security systems or
just about any other device that can be equipped
with a radio receiver in the 288 to 410 MegaHertz
(MHz) frequency range for remote operation. The
UGDO is capable of operating systems using either
rolling code or non-rolling code technology.
The EVIC module displays messages and a small
house-shaped icon with one, two or three dots corre-
sponding to the three transmitter buttons to indicate
the status of the UGDO. The EVIC messages are:
²Cleared Channels- Indicates that all of the
transmitter codes stored in the UGDO have been suc-
cessfully cleared.
²Training- Indicates that the UGDO is in its
transmitter learning mode.
²Trained- Indicates that the UGDO has success-
fully acquired a new transmitter code.
²Transmit- Indicates that a trained UGDO
transmitter button has been depressed and that the
UGDO is transmitting.
The UGDO cannot be repaired, and is available for
service only as a unit with the EVIC module. This
unit includes the push button switches and the plas-
tic module. If any of these components are faulty or
damaged, the complete EVIC module must be
replaced.
OPERATION
The universal transmitter operates on a non-
switched source of battery current so the unit will
remain functional, regardless of the ignition switch
position. For more information on the features, pro-
gramming procedures and operation of the universal
transmitter, see the owner's manual in the vehicle
glove box.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - UNIVERSAL
TRANSMITTER
If the Universal Transmitter is inoperative, but the
Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) is oper-
ating normally, see the owner's manual in the vehicle
glove box for instructions on training the Transmit-
ter. Retrain the Transmitter with a known good
transmitter as instructed in the owner's manual and
test the Transmitter operation again. If the unit is
still inoperative, replace the faulty Transmitter and
EVIC module as a unit. If both the Transmitter and
the EVIC module are inoperative, refer toElec-
tronic Vehicle Information Center Diagnosis
and Testingin this group for further diagnosis. For
complete circuit diagrams, refer toWiring Dia-
grams.

SPEED CONTROL
DESCRIPTION
The speed control system is electronically con-
trolled and vacuum operated. Electronic control of
the speed control system is integrated into the Pow-
ertrain Control Module (PCM). The controls consist
of two steering wheel mounted switches. The
switches are labeled: ON/OFF, RES/ACCEL, SET,
COAST, and CANCEL.
The system is designed to operate at speeds above
30 mph (50 km/h).
WARNING: THE USE OF SPEED CONTROL IS NOT
RECOMMENDED WHEN DRIVING CONDITIONS DO
NOT PERMIT MAINTAINING A CONSTANT SPEED,
SUCH AS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC OR ON ROADS THAT
ARE WINDING, ICY, SNOW COVERED, OR SLIP-
PERY.
OPERATION
When speed control is selected by depressing the
ON switch, the PCM allows a set speed to be stored
in PCM RAM for speed control. To store a set speed,
depress the SET switch while the vehicle is moving
at a speed between 35 and 85 mph. In order for the
speed control to engage, the brakes cannot be
applied, nor can the gear selector be indicating the
transmission is in Park or Neutral.
The speed control can be disengaged manually by:
²Stepping on the brake pedal
²Depressing the OFF switch
²Depressing the CANCEL switch.
²Depressing the clutch pedal (if equipped).
NOTE: Depressing the OFF switch or turning off the
ignition switch will erase the set speed stored in
the PCM.
For added safety, the speed control system is pro-
grammed to disengage for any of the following condi-
tions:
²An indication of Park or Neutral
²A rapid increase rpm (indicates that the clutch
has been disengaged)
²Excessive engine rpm (indicates that the trans-
mission may be in a low gear)
²The speed signal increases at a rate of 10 mph
per second (indicates that the coefficient of friction
between the road surface and tires is extremely low)
WJSPEED CONTROL 8P - 1

SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
There are two separate switch pods that operate
the speed control system. The steering-wheel-
mounted switches use multiplexed circuits to provide
inputs to the PCM for ON, OFF, RESUME, ACCEL-
ERATE, SET, DECEL and CANCEL modes. Refer to
the owner's manual for more information on speed
control switch functions and setting procedures.
The individual switches cannot be repaired. If one
switch fails, the entire switch module must be
replaced.
OPERATION
When speed control is selected by depressing the
ON, OFF switch, the PCM allows a set speed to be
stored in its RAM for speed control. To store a set
speed, depress the SET switch while the vehicle is
moving at a speed between approximately 35 and 85
mph. In order for the speed control to engage, the
brakes cannot be applied, nor can the gear selector
be indicating the transmission is in Park or Neutral.
The speed control can be disengaged manually by:
²Stepping on the brake pedal
²Depressing the OFF switch
²Depressing the CANCEL switch.
The speed control can be disengaged also by any of
the following conditions:
²An indication of Park or Neutral
²The VSS signal increases at a rate of 10 mph
per second (indicates that the co-efficient of friction
between the road surface and tires is extremely low)
²Depressing the clutch pedal.
²Excessive engine rpm (indicates that the trans-
mission may be in a low gear)
²The VSS signal decreases at a rate of 10 mph
per second (indicates that the vehicle may have
decelerated at an extremely high rate)
²If the actual speed is not within 20 mph of the
set speed
The previous disengagement conditions are pro-
grammed for added safety.
Once the speed control has been disengaged,
depressing the ACCEL switch restores the vehicle to
the target speed that was stored in the PCM's RAM.
NOTE: Depressing the OFF switch will erase the set
speed stored in the PCM's RAM.
If, while the speed control is engaged, the driver
wishes to increase vehicle speed, the PCM is pro-
grammed for an acceleration feature. With the
ACCEL switch held closed, the vehicle accelerates
slowly to the desired speed. The new target speed is
stored in the PCM's RAM when the ACCEL switch isreleased. The PCM also has a9tap-up9feature in
which vehicle speed increases at a rate of approxi-
mately 2 mph for each momentary switch activation
of the ACCEL switch.
The PCM also provides a means to decelerate with-
out disengaging speed control. To decelerate from an
existing recorded target speed, depress and hold the
COAST switch until the desired speed is reached.
Then release the switch. The ON, OFF switch oper-
ates two components: the PCM's ON, OFF input, and
the battery voltage to the brake switch, which powers
the speed control servo.
Multiplexing
The PCM sends out 5 volts through a fixed resistor
and monitors the voltage change between the fixed
resistor and the switches. If none of the switches are
depressed, the PCM will measure 5 volts at the sen-
sor point (open circuit). If a switch with no resistor is
closed, the PCM will measure 0 volts (grounded cir-
cuit). Now, if a resistor is added to a switch, then the
PCM will measure some voltage proportional to the
size of the resistor. By adding a different resistor to
each switch, the PCM will see a different voltage
depending on which switch is pushed.
Another resistor has been added to the 'at rest cir-
cuit' causing the PCM to never see 5 volts. This was
done for diagnostic purposes. If the switch circuit
should open (bad connection), then the PCM will see
the 5 volts and know the circuit is bad. The PCM will
then set an open circuit fault.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - TIRE AND WHEEL
RUNOUT
Radial runout is the difference between the high
and low points on the tire or wheel (Fig. 1).
Lateral runout is thewobbleof the tire or wheel.
Radial runout of more than 1.5 mm (.060 inch)
measured at the center line of the tread may cause
the vehicle to shake.
Lateral runout of more than 2.0 mm (.080 inch)
measured near the shoulder of the tire may cause the
vehicle to shake.
Sometimes radial runout can be reduced. Relocate
the wheel and tire assembly on the mounting studs
(See Method 1). If this does not reduce runout to an
acceptable level, the tire can be rotated on the wheel.
(See Method 2).
METHOD 1 (RELOCATE WHEEL ON HUB)
(1) Drive vehicle a short distance to eliminate tire
flat spotting from a parked position.
(2) Check wheel bearings and adjust if adjustable
or replace if necessary.
(3) Check the wheel mounting surface.
(4) Relocate wheel on the mounting, two studs
over from the original position.
(5) Tighten wheel nuts until all are properly
torqued, to eliminate brake distortion.
(6) Check radial runout. If still excessive, mark
tire sidewall, wheel, and stud at point of maximum
runout and proceed to Method 2.
METHOD 2 (RELOCATE TIRE ON WHEEL)
NOTE: Rotating the tire on wheel is particularly
effective when there is runout in both tire and
wheel.
