HORN SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
A dual-note electric horn system is standard facto-
ry-installed equipment on this model. The standard
equipment horn system features one low-note horn
unit and one high-note horn unit. The horn system
allows the vehicle operator to provide an audible
warning of the presence or approach of the vehicle to
pedestrians and the drivers of other vehicles in near
proximity. The horn system uses a non-switched
source of battery current so that the system will
remain functional, regardless of the ignition switch
position.
The horn system can also be activated by the Body
Control Module (BCM). The BCM is programmed to
activate the horns in order to provide the following
features:
²Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system lock
request audible verification (except export)
²RKE system panic mode audible alert
²Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS) audible
alarm.
This vehicle also offers several customer program-
mable features, which allows the selection of several
optional electronic features to suit individual prefer-
ences. Refer to Overhead Console for more informa-
tion on the customer programmable feature options.
Customer programmable feature options affecting the
horn system include:
²Sound Horn on Lock- Allows the option of
having the horn sound a short chirp as an audible
verification that the RKE system received a valid
Lock request from the RKE transmitter, or having no
audible verification.The horn system includes the following compo-
nents:
²Clockspring
²Horns
²Horn relay
²Horn switch
Certain functions and features of the horn system
rely upon resources shared with other electronic
modules in the vehicle over the Programmable Com-
munications Interface (PCI) data bus network. The
PCI data bus network allows the sharing of sensor
information. This helps to reduce wire harness com-
plexity, 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 feature capabil-
ities. For diagnosis of these electronic modules or of
the PCI data bus network, the use of a DRB scan
tool and the proper Diagnostic Procedures manual
are recommended.
The other electronic modules that may affect horn
system operation are as follows:
²Body Control Module (BCM)(Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MOD-
ULES/BODY CONTROL/CENTRAL TIMER MODUL
- DESCRIPTION) for more information.
²Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC)(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/OVERHEAD

IGNITION CONTROL
DESCRIPTION
Two different ignition systems are used. One type
of system is for the 4.0L 6±cylinder engine. The other
is for the 4.7L V-8 engine.
OPERATION
The 4.0L 6±cylinder engine uses a one-piece coil
rail containing three independent coils. Although cyl-
inder firing order is the same as 4.0L engines of pre-
vious years, spark plug firing is not. The 3 coils dual-
fire the spark plugs on cylinders 1±6, 2±5 and/or 3±4.
When one cylinder is being fired (on compressionstroke), the spark to the opposite cylinder is being
wasted (on exhaust stroke). The one-piece coil bolts
directly to the cylinder head. Rubber boots seal the
secondary terminal ends of the coils to the top of all
6 spark plugs. One electrical connector (located at
the rear end of the coil rail) is used for all three coils.
The 4.7L V-8 engine uses 8 dedicated and individ-
ually fired coil for each spark plug. Each coil is
mounted directly to the top of each spark plug. A sep-
arate electrical connector is used for each coil.
Because of coil design, spark plug cables (second-
ary cables) are not used on either engine. Adistrib-
utor is not usedwith either the 4.0L or 4.7L
engines.
WJIGNITION CONTROL 8I - 1
The ignition system is controlled by the powertrain
control module (PCM) on all engines.
The ignition system consists of:
²Spark Plugs
²Ignition Coil(s)
²Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
²Crankshaft Position Sensor
²Camshaft Position Sensor
²The MAP, TPS, IAC and ECT also have an effect
on the control of the ignition system.

Powertrain Control Module (PCM). Mechanical
adjustments are not needed and can't be made.
On the 4.0L 6±cylinder engine, do not attempt to
rotate the oil pump drive to adjust timing. This
adjustment is used for fuel synchronization after
camshaft position sensor replacement.

AUTO SHUT DOWN RELAY
DESCRIPTION - PCM OUTPUT
The 5±pin, 12±volt, Automatic Shutdown (ASD)
relay is located in the Power Distribution Center
(PDC). Refer to label on PDC cover for relay location.
OPERATION
OPERATION - PCM OUTPUT
The ASD relay supplies battery voltage (12+ volts)
to the fuel injectors and ignition coil(s). With certain
emissions packages it also supplies 12±volts to the
oxygen sensor heating elements.
The ground circuit for the coil within the ASD
relay is controlled by the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). The PCM operates the ASD relay by switch-
ing its ground circuit on and off.
WJIGNITION CONTROL 8I - 3
IGNITION CONTROL (Continued)
The ASD relay will be shut±down, meaning the
12±volt power supply to the ASD relay will be de-ac-
tivated by the PCM if:
²the ignition key is left in the ON position. This
is if the engine has not been running for approxi-
mately 1.8 seconds.
²there is a crankshaft position sensor signal to
the PCM that is lower than pre-determined values.
OPERATION - ASD SENSE - PCM INPUT
A 12 volt signal at this input indicates to the PCM
that the ASD has been activated. The relay is used to
connect the oxygen sensor heater element, ignition
coil and fuel injectors to 12 volt + power supply.
This input is used only to sense that the ASD relay
is energized. If the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) does not see 12 volts at this input when the
ASD should be activated, it will set a Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC).
REMOVAL
The ASD relay is located in the Power Distribution
Center (PDC) (Fig. 1). Refer to label on PDC cover
for relay location.
(1) Remove PDC cover.
(2) Remove relay from PDC.
(3) Check condition of relay terminals and PDC
connector terminals for damage or corrosion. Repair
if necessary before installing relay.
(4) Check for pin height (pin height should be the
same for all terminals within the PDC connector).
Repair if necessary before installing relay.
INSTALLATION
The ASD relay is located in the Power Distribution
Center (PDC) (Fig. 1). Refer to label on PDC cover
for relay location.
(1) Install relay to PDC.
(2) Install cover to PDC.
CAMSHAFT POSITION
SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION - 4.0L
The Camshaft Position Sensor (CMP) on the 4.0L
6±cylinder engine is bolted to the top of the oil pump
drive shaft assembly (Fig. 2). The sensor and drive
shaft assembly is located on the right side of the
engine near the oil filter (Fig. 3).

The Camshaft Position Sensor (CMP) on the 4.7L
V±8 engine is bolted to the front/top of the right cyl-
inder head (Fig. 4).
OPERATION
OPERATION - 4.0L
The CMP sensor contains a hall effect device called
a sync signal generator to generate a fuel sync sig-
nal. This sync signal generator detects a rotating
pulse ring (shutter) on the oil pump drive shaft (Fig.
2). The pulse ring rotates 180 degrees through the
sync signal generator. Its signal is used in conjunc-
tion with the crankshaft position sensor to differenti-
ate between fuel injection and spark events. It is also
used to synchronize the fuel injectors with their
respective cylinders.
When the leading edge of the pulse ring (shutter)
enters the sync signal generator, the following occurs:
The interruption of magnetic field causes the voltage
to switch high resulting in a sync signal of approxi-
mately 5 volts.When the trailing edge of the pulse ring (shutter)
leaves the sync signal generator, the following occurs:
The change of the magnetic field causes the sync sig-
nal voltage to switch low to 0 volts.
OPERATION - 4.7L
The CMP sensor contains a hall effect device called
a sync signal generator to generate a fuel sync sig-
nal. This sync signal generator detects notches
located on a tonewheel. The tonewheel is located at
the front of the camshaft for the right cylinder head
(Fig. 5). As the tonewheel rotates, the notches pass
through the sync signal generator. The pattern of the
notches (viewed counter-clockwise from front of
engine) is: 1 notch, 2 notches, 3 notches, 3 notches, 2
notches 1 notch, 3 notches and 1 notch. The signal
from the CMP sensor is used in conjunction with the
crankshaft position sensor to differentiate between
fuel injection and spark events. It is also used to syn-
chronize the fuel injectors with their respective cylin-
ders.

REMOVAL - 4.0L
The Camshaft Position Sensor (CMP) on the 4.0L
6±cylinder engine is bolted to the top of the oil pump
drive shaft assembly (Fig. 6). The sensor and drive
shaft assembly is located on the right side of the
engine near the oil filter (Fig. 7).
The rotational position of oil pump drive deter-
mines fuel synchronization only. It does not deter-
mine ignition timing.
NOTE: Do not attempt to rotate the oil pump drive
to modify ignition timing.
Two different proceduresare used for removal
and installation. The first procedure will detail
removal and installation of the sensor only. The sec-
ond procedure will detail removal and installation of
the sensor and oil pump drive shaft assembly. The
second procedure is to be used if the engine has been
disassembled.
An internal oil seal is used in the drive shaft hous-
ing that prevents engine oil at the bottom of the sen-
sor. The seal is not serviceable.
