factory. The Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM)
can be programmed to recognize up to a total of eight
Sentry Keys. When programming a blank Sentry Key
transponder, the key must first be cut to match the
ignition switch lock cylinde for which it will be used.
Once the additional key has been cut, the SKIM
must be programmed to recognize it as a valid key.
There are two possible methods to program the
SKIM to recognize a new or additional valid key, the
Secured Access Method and the Customer Learn
Method. Following are the details of these two pro-
gramming methods.
SECURED ACCESS METHOD
The Secured Access method applies to all vehicles.
This method requires the use of a DRBIIItscan tool.
This method will also require that you have access to
the unique four-digit PIN code that was assigned to
the original SKIM. The PIN codemustbe used to
enter the Secured Access Mode in the SKIM. This
PIN number may be obtained from the vehicle owner,
from the original vehicle invoice, or from the
DaimlerChrysler Customer Center. Refer to the
appropriate diagnostic information for the proper
Secured Access method programming procedures.
CUSTOMER LEARN METHOD
The Customer Learn feature is only available on
domestic vehicles, or those vehicles which have a
U.S. country code designator. This programming
method also requires access to at least two valid Sen-
try Keys. If two valid Sentry Keys are not available,
or if the vehicle does not have a U.S. country code
designator, the Secured Access Methodmustbe used
to program new or additional valid keys to the SKIM.
The Customer Learn programming method proce-
dures are as follows:
(1) Obtain the blank Sentry Key(s) that are to be
programmed as valid keys for the vehicle. Cut the
blank key(s) to match the ignition switch lock cylin-
der mechanical key codes.
(2) Insert one of the two valid Sentry Keys into the
ignition switch and turn the ignition switch to the
On position.
(3) After the ignition switch has been in the On
position for longer than three seconds, but no more
than fifteen seconds, cycle the ignition switch back to
the Off position. Replace the first valid Sentry Key in
the ignition switch lock cylinder with the second
valid Sentry Key and turn the ignition switch back to
the On position. The second valid Sentry Key must
be inserted in the lock cylinder within fifteen seconds
of removing the first valid key.
(4) About ten seconds after the completion of Step
3, the SKIS indicator in the instrument cluster will
start to flash and a single audible chime tone willsound to indicate that the system has entered the
Customer Learn programming mode.
(5) Within sixty seconds of entering the Customer
Learn programming mode, turn the ignition switch to
the Off position, replace the valid Sentry Key with a
blank Sentry Key transponder, and turn the ignition
switch back to the On position.
(6) About ten seconds after the completion of Step
5, a single audible chime tone will sound and the
SKIS indicator will stop flashing, stay on solid for
three seconds, then turn off to indicate that the
blank Sentry Key has been successfully programmed.
The SKIS will immediately exit the Customer Learn
programming mode and the vehicle may now be
started using the newly programmed valid Sentry
Key.
Each of these steps must be repeated and com-
pleted in their entirety for each additional Sentry
Key that is to be programmed. If the above steps are
not completed in the given sequence, or within the
allotted time, the SKIS will exit the Customer Learn
programming mode and the programming will be
unsuccessful. The SKIS will also automatically exit
the Customer Learn programming mode if it sees a
non-blank Sentry Key transponder when it should
see a blank, if it has already programmed eight (8)
valid Sentry Keys, or if the ignition switch is turned
to the Off position for more than about fifty seconds.
NOTE: If an attempt is made to start the vehicle
while in the Customer Learn mode (SKIS indicator
flashing), the SKIS will respond as though the vehi-
cle were being started with an invalid key. In other
words, the engine will stall after about two seconds
of operation. No faults will be set.
NOTE: Once a Sentry Key has been programmed as
a valid key to a vehicle, it cannot be programmed
as a valid key for use on any other vehicle.

several 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 front wiper and
washer system components through the use of a com-
bination of soldered splices, splice block connectors,
and many different types of wire harness terminal
connectors and insulators. Refer to the appropriate
wiring information. The wiring information includes
wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector repair
procedures, further details on wire harness routing
and retention, as well as pin-out and location views
for the various wire harness connectors, splices and
grounds.
OPERATING MODES
The components of the front wiper and washer sys-
tem are designed to work in concert to provide the
following operating modes:
²Automatic Wiper- In models equipped with
the optional automatic wiper feature, the internal
circuitry of both the right (wiper) multi-function
switch, the rain sensor module, and the BCM work
in concert to provide an automatic wiper mode with
five sensitivity selections. The BCM tells the Rain
Sensor Module (RSM) when the automatic wiper
mode is selected and the manually selected sensitiv-
ity level, then the rain sensor module tells the BCM
each time enough water droplets have accumulated
within the wipe pattern on the windshield to require
front wiper operation. The BCM then automatically
WJFRONT WIPERS/WASHERS 8R - 3
FRONT WIPERS/WASHERS (Continued)

operates the front wipers at the programmed speed
and intervals requested by the RSM to maintain vis-
ibility through the windshield.
²Continuous Wipe Mode- The control knob on
the control stalk of the right (wiper) multi-function
switch has two continuous wipe positions, Low and
High. When selected, these switch positions will
cause the two-speed front wiper motor to operate in a
continuous low or high speed cycle.
²Headlamps On With Wipers- The BCM pro-
vides an automatic headlamps on with wipers feature
for models equipped with the optional automatic
headlamps. This is a customer programmable fea-
ture. If this feature is enabled, the headlamps will
turn on automatically when the windshield wipers
are turned on; and, if the headlamps were turned on
automatically when the wipers were turned on, they
will turn off automatically when the wipers are
turned off. In models equipped with the optional
automatic wiper feature, when the automatic wiper
mode is selected the headlamps will turn on auto-
matically only after the wipers complete three auto-
matic wipe cycles within about thirty seconds, and
they will turn off automatically after three minutes
elapse without any automatic wipe cycles. (Refer to 8
- ELECTRICAL/OVERHEAD CONSOLE - STAN-
DARD PROCEDURE - ELECTRONIC VEHICLE
INFORMATION CENTER PROGRAMMING).
²Mist Wipe Mode- The control stalk of the right
(wiper) multi-function switch has a momentary Mist
position. When selected, this switch position will
operate the front wipers in a low speed continuous
cycle for as long as the switch is held closed, then
will complete the current wipe cycle and park the
front wiper blades near the base of the windshield
when the switch is released.
²Speed Sensitive Intermittent Wipe Mode-
Except on models equipped with the optional auto-
matic wiper system, the internal circuitry of both the
right (wiper) multi-function switch and the BCM
work in concert to provide an intermittent wipe mode
with five delay interval selections. The BCM auto-
matically adjusts each manually selected delay inter-
val to compensate for vehicle speed.
²Washer Mode- When the momentary front
wash position of the control stalk for the right
(wiper) multi-function switch is selected with the
front wiper system operating in a continuous wipe
mode, washer fluid will be dispensed onto the wind-
shield glass through the washer nozzles for as long
as the washer switch is held closed. When the front
washer switch is actuated with the front wiper sys-
tem operating in an intermittent wipe mode, washer
fluid is still dispensed until the switch is released;
however, the front wipers will operate in a low speed
continuous cycle from the time the washer switch isclosed until several wipe cycles after the switch is
released, before returning to the selected intermit-
tent wipe mode.
²Wipe-After-Wash Mode- When the momentary
front wash position of the control stalk for the right
(wiper) multi-function switch is selected with the
front wiper system turned Off, the internal circuitry
of the BCM provides a wipe-after-wash feature.
When selected, this feature will operate the front
washer pump/motor and the front wipers for as long
as the front washer switch is held closed, then pro-
vide several additional wipe cycles after the switch is
released before parking the front wiper blades near
the base of the windshield.
OPERATION
The front wiper and washer system is designed to
provide the vehicle operator with a convenient, safe,
and reliable means of maintaining visibility through
the windshield glass. The various components of this
system are designed to convert electrical energy pro-
duced by the vehicle electrical system into the
mechanical action of the wiper blades to wipe the
outside surface of the glass, as well as into the
hydraulic action of the washer system to apply
washer fluid stored in an on-board reservoir to the
area of the glass to be wiped. When combined, these
components provide the means to effectively main-
tain clear visibility for the vehicle operator by remov-
ing excess accumulations of rain, snow, bugs, mud, or
other minor debris that might be encountered while
driving the vehicle under numerous types of inclem-
ent operating conditions from the outside windshield
glass surface.
The vehicle operator initiates all front wiper and
washer system functions with the control stalk of the
right (wiper) multi-function switch that extends from
the right side of the steering column, just below the
steering wheel. Rotating the control knob on the end
of the right (wiper) multi-function switch control
stalk selects the Off, Delay (on models not equipped
with the optional automatic wiper system), Auto (on
models equipped with the optional automatic wiper
system), Low, or High front wiper system operating
modes. In the Delay mode, the control knob also
allows the vehicle operator to select from one of five
intermittent wipe Delay intervals. In the Auto mode,
the control knob also allows the vehicle operator to
select from one of five automatic wiper sensitivity
levels. Pulling the right control stalk downwards
actuates the momentary front wiper system Mist
mode switch, while pulling the right control stalk
towards the steering wheel actuates the front washer
system switch. The multi-function switch provides
hard wired resistor multiplexed inputs to the Body
Control Module (BCM) for all of the front wiper sys-

FRONT WIPERS/WASHERS (Continued)

Washer hose is available for service only as roll
stock, which must then be cut to length. The molded
plastic washer hose fittings cannot be repaired. If
these fittings are faulty or damaged, they must be
replaced.
OPERATION
Washer fluid in the washer reservoir is pressurized
and fed by the front washer pump/motor through the
front washer system plumbing and fittings to the two
front washer nozzles. Whenever routing the washer
hose or a wire harness containing a washer hose, it
must be routed away from hot, sharp, or moving
parts; and, sharp bends that might pinch the hose
must be avoided.
FRONT WASHER NOZZLE
DESCRIPTION
The two front washer nozzles have integral snap
features that secure them in dedicated holes in the
cowl plenum cover/grille panel located near the base
of the windshield. The domed upper surface of the
washer nozzle is visible on the top of the plenum cov-
er/grille panel, and the nozzle orifice is oriented
towards the windshield glass. The washer plumbing
fittings for the washer nozzles are concealed beneath
the cowl plenum cover/grille panel. These fluidic
washer nozzles are constructed of molded plastic. The
cowl plenum cover/grille panel must be removed from
the vehicle to access the nozzles for service. The
washer nozzles cannot be adjusted or repaired. If
faulty or damaged, they must be replaced.
OPERATION
The two front washer nozzles are designed to dis-
pense washer fluid into the wiper pattern area on the
outside of the windshield glass. Pressurized washer
fluid is fed to each nozzle from the washer reservoir
by the front washer pump/motor through a single
hose, which is attached to a barbed nipple on each
front washer nozzle below the cowl plenum cover/
grille panel. The washer nozzles incorporate a fluidic
design, which causes the nozzle to emit the pressur-
ized washer fluid as an oscillating stream to more
effectively cover a larger area of the glass area to be
cleaned.

FRONT WASHER PUMP/
MOTOR
DESCRIPTION
The front washer pump/motor unit is located on
the outboard side and near the front of the washer
reservoir, between the left front inner and outer
fender panels (Fig. 5). A small permanently lubri-
cated and sealed electric motor is coupled to the
rotor-type washer pump. A seal flange with a large
barbed inlet nipple on the pump housing passes
through a rubber grommet seal installed in one of
two dedicated mounting holes near the bottom of the
washer reservoir. The front washer pump/motor unit
is always mounted in the lower pump mounting hole
of the reservoir. A smaller barbed outlet nipple on the
pump housing connects the unit to the front washer
hose. The washer pump/motor unit is retained on the
reservoir by the interference fit between the barbedpump inlet nipple and the grommet seal, which is a
light press fit. An integral electrical connector recep-
tacle is located on the top of the motor housing. The
front washer pump/motor unit cannot be repaired. If
faulty or damaged, the entire washer pump/motor
unit must be replaced.
OPERATION
The front washer pump/motor unit is connected to
the vehicle electrical system through a single take
out and two-cavity connector of the left headlamp
and dash wire harness. The washer pump/motor is
grounded at all times through a take out of the left
headlamp and dash wire harness with a single eyelet
terminal connector that is secured under a ground
screw to the top of the left inner fender shield in the
engine compartment. The front washer pump/motor
receives battery current on a fused ignition switch
output (run-acc) circuit through the closed contacts of
the momentary front washer switch within the right
multi-function switch only when the switch control
stalk is pulled towards the steering wheel. Washer
fluid is gravity-fed from the washer reservoir to the
inlet side of the washer pump. When the pump motor
is energized, the rotor-type pump pressurizes the
washer fluid and forces it through the pump outlet
nipple, the front washer plumbing, and the front
washer nozzles onto the windshield glass.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.

formations that grip the wiper blade element. Also
included in this unit is the latching, molded plastic
pivot block that secures the superstructure to the
wiper arm. All of the metal components of the wiper
blade have a satin black finish applied.
²Element- The wiper element or squeegee is the
resilient rubber member of the wiper blade that con-
tacts the glass.
²Flexor- The flexor is a rigid metal component
running along the length of each side of the wiper
element where it is gripped by the claws of the
superstructure.
All Grand Cherokee models have two 52.50 centi-
meter (20.67 inch) long windshield wiper blades with
non-replaceable rubber elements (squeegees). The
wiper blades cannot be adjusted or repaired. If faulty,
worn, or damaged the entire wiper blade unit must
be replaced.
OPERATION
The wiper blades are moved back and forth across
the glass by the wiper arms when the wipers are
being operated. The wiper blade superstructure is
the flexible frame that grips the wiper blade element
and evenly distributes the force of the spring-loaded
wiper arm along the length of the element. The com-
bination of the wiper arm force and the flexibility of
the superstructure makes the element conform to
and maintain proper contact with the glass, even as
the blade is moved over the varied curvature found
across the glass surface. The wiper element flexor
provides the claws of the blade superstructure with a
rigid, yet flexible component on the element which
can be gripped. The rubber element is designed to be
stiff enough to maintain an even cleaning edge as it
is drawn across the glass, but resilient enough to
conform to the glass surface and flip from one clean-
ing edge to the other each time the wiper blade
changes directions.
REMOVAL
NOTE: The notched retainer end of the wiper ele-
ment should always be oriented towards the end of
the wiper blade that is nearest to the wiper pivot.
(1) Lift the front wiper arm to raise the wiper
blade and element off of the glass, until the wiper
arm hinge is in its over-center position.
(2) To remove the wiper blade from the wiper arm,
push the pivot block latch release tab under the tip
of the arm and slide the blade away from the tip
towards the pivot end of the arm far enough to dis-
engage the pivot block from the hook (Fig. 10).
(3) Extract the hook formation on the tip of the
wiper arm from the opening in the wiper blade
superstructure ahead of the wiper blade pivot block/
latch unit.
CAUTION: Do not allow the wiper arm to spring
back against the glass without the wiper blade in
place or the glass may be damaged.
(4) Gently lower the wiper arm tip onto the glass.
INSTALLATION
NOTE: The notched retainer end of the wiper ele-
ment should always be oriented towards the end of
the wiper blade that is nearest to the wiper pivot.
(1) Lift the front wiper arm off of the windshield
glass, until the wiper arm hinge is in its over-center
position.
(2) Position the front wiper blade near the hook
formation on the tip of the arm with the notched
retainer for the wiper element oriented towards the
end of the wiper arm that is nearest to the wiper
pivot.

²Continuous Rear Wipe Mode- The internal
circuitry and hardware of the right (wiper) multi-
function switch control sleeve provides one continu-
ous rear wipe switch position.
²Front Washer Mode- The internal circuitry
and hardware of the right (wiper) multi-function
switch control stalk provide front washer system
operation.
²Front Wipe-After-Wash Mode- The internal
circuitry and hardware of the right (wiper) multi-
function switch control stalk provide a wipe-after-
wash mode.
²Front Wiper Mist Mode- The internal cir-
cuitry and hardware of the right (wiper) multi-func-
tion switch control stalk provide a front wiper system
mist mode.
²Intermittent Front Wipe Mode- The internal
circuitry and hardware of the right (wiper) multi-
function switch control knob provide an intermittent
front wipe mode with five delay interval positions,
except on models equipped with the optional auto-
matic wiper system.
²Intermittent Rear Wipe Mode- The internal
circuitry and hardware of the right (wiper) multi-
function switch control ring provide one fixed inter-
val intermittent rear wipe mode switch position.
²Rear Washer Mode- The internal circuitry and
hardware of the right (wiper) multi-function switch
control stalk provide rear washer system operation.
OPERATION
The right (wiper) multi-function switch uses a com-
bination of resistor multiplexed and conventionally
switched outputs to control the many functions and
features it provides. The switch receives battery cur-
rent on a fused ignition switch output (run-acc) cir-
cuit from a fuse in the Junction Block (JB) whenever
the ignition switch is in the On or Accessory posi-
tions, and receives ground from the Body Control
Module (BCM) on a windshield wiper switch return
circuit. The right (wiper) multi-function switch may
be diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and
methods.
Following are descriptions of how the right (wiper)
multi-function switch control stalk operates to control
the functions and features it provides:
²Automatic Wipe Mode- On models equipped
with the optional automatic wiper system, the control
knob on the end of the right (wiper) multi-function
switch control stalk is rotated to one of five minor
intermediate detents to select the desired automatic
wipe sensitivity level. The control knob is rotated
rearward (counterclockwise) to reduce the sensitivity
(increase the interval between wipes), or forward
(clockwise) to increase the sensitivity (decrease the
interval between wipes). The right (wiper) multi-function switch provides a resistor multiplexed out-
put to the Body Control Module (BCM) on a
windshield wiper switch mux circuit. The BCM
responds by sending an electronic message to the
Rain Sensor Module (RSM) over the Programmable
Communications Interface (PCI) data bus indicating
the selected sensitivity level, and by operating the
front wiper system based upon electronic wipe com-
mands received from the RSM over the PCI data bus.
²Continuous Front Wipe Modes- The control
knob on the end of the right (wiper) multi-function
switch control stalk is rotated to an intermediate
detent that is one detent rearward (counterclockwise)
from the full forward (clockwise) detent to select the
low speed continuous front wiper mode, or to its full
forward (clockwise) detent to select the high speed
continuous front wiper mode. For the low speed
mode, the multi-function switch provides a resistor
multiplexed output to the Body Control Module
(BCM) on a windshield wiper switch mux circuit, and
the BCM responds by energizing the wiper on/off
relay in the Power Distribution Center (PDC) for the
front low speed continuous wipe mode. For the high
speed mode, the multi-function switch provides the
same resistor multiplexed output to the BCM on the
windshield wiper switch mux circuit as the low speed
mode, but also provides a ground output to the BCM
on a wiper high control circuit. The BCM responds to
these inputs by energizing the wiper on/off relay and
the wiper high/low relay in the PDC for the front
high speed continuous wipe mode.
²Continuous Rear Wipe Mode- The control
ring on the right (wiper) multi-function switch con-
trol stalk is rotated to the most forward (clockwise)
detent to select the continuous rear wiper mode. The
multi-function switch provides a battery current out-
put to the rear wiper motor on a rear wiper motor
control circuit to signal the rear wiper module to
operate the rear wiper motor in the continuous wipe
mode.
²Front Washer Mode- The control stalk of the
right (wiper) multi-function switch is pulled toward
the steering wheel to momentarily activate the front
washer pump/motor in the front washer mode. The
front washer pump will continue to operate in the
front washer mode until the control stalk is released.
The right (wiper) multi-function switch provides a
battery current output on a washer pump motor
switch output circuit to energize the front washer
pump in the front washer mode.
²Front Wiper Mist Mode- The control stalk of
the right (wiper) multi-function switch is pushed
towards the floor to momentarily activate the front
wiper motor in the mist mode. The front wiper motor
will continue to operate in the mist mode until the
control stalk is released. The right (wiper) multi-
