2002 JEEP LIBERTY wheel

OPERATION
The antenna body and cable connects the antenna
mast to the radio. The radio antenna is an electro-
magnetic circuit component used to capture radio fre-
quency signals that are broadcast by local
commercial radio stations in both the Amplitude
Modulating (AM) and Frequency Modulating (FM)
frequency ranges. These electromagnetic radio fre-
quency signals induce small electrical modulations
into the antenna as they move past the mast. The
antenna body transfers the weak electromagnetic
radio waves induced into the rigid antenna mast into
the center conductor of the flexible primary antenna
coaxial cable. The braided outer shield of the
antenna coaxial cable is grounded through both the
antenna body and the radio chassis, effectively
shielding the radio waves as they are conducted to
the radio. The radio then tunes and amplifies the
weak radio signals into stronger electrical signals in
order to operate the audio system speakers.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - ANTENNA BODY
AND CABLE
The following four tests are used to diagnose the
antenna with an ohmmeter:
²Test 1- Mast to ground test
²Test 2- Tip-of-mast to tip-of-conductor test
²Test 3- Body ground to battery ground test
²Test 4- Body ground to antenna coaxial cable
shield test.

The ohmmeter test lead connections for each test
are shown in the illustration (Fig. 2).
NOTE: This model has a two-piece antenna coaxial
cable. Tests 2 and 4 must be conducted in two
steps to isolate an antenna cable problem. First,
test the primary antenna cable (integral to the
antenna body and cable) from the coaxial cable
connector behind the right side kick panel to the
antenna body. Then, test the secondary antennacable (instrument panel antenna cable) from the
coaxial cable connector behind the right side kick
panel to the coaxial cable connector at the radio.
TEST 1
Test 1 determines if the antenna mast is insulated
from ground. Proceed as follows:
(1) Disconnect and isolate the antenna coaxial
cable connector behind the right side kick panel.
(2) Touch one ohmmeter test lead to the tip of the
antenna mast. Touch the other test lead to known
ground. Check the ohmmeter reading for continuity.
(3) There should be no continuity. If OK, go to Test
2. If not OK, replace the faulty antenna body and
cable.
TEST 2
Test 2 checks the antenna conductor components
for an open circuit. This test should be performed
first on the entire antenna circuit, from the antenna
mast to the center conductor of the coaxial cable con-
nector at the radio. If an open circuit is detected,
each of the three antenna conductor components
(antenna mast, antenna body and cable, instrument
panel antenna cable) should be isolated and tested
individually to locate the exact component that is the
source of the open circuit. To begin this test, proceed
as follows:
(1) Disconnect the instrument panel antenna cable
coaxial connector from the back of the radio.
(2) Touch one ohmmeter test lead to the tip of the
antenna mast. Touch the other test lead to the center
conductor pin of the instrument panel antenna cable
coaxial connector for the radio. Check the ohmmeter
reading for continuity.

OPERATION
The six switches in the two remote radio switch units
are normally open, resistor multiplexed momentary
switches that are hard wired to the Body Control Mod-
ule (BCM) through the clockspring. The BCM sends a
five volt reference signal to both switch units on one
circuit, and senses the status of all of the switches by
reading the voltage drop on a second circuit.
When the BCM senses an input (voltage drop) from
any one of the remote radio switches, it sends the
proper switch status messages on the Programmable
Communication Interface (PCI) data bus network to
the radio receiver. The electronic circuitry within the
radio receiver is programmed to respond to these
remote radio switch status messages by adjusting the
radio settings as requested. For diagnosis of the
BCM or the PCI data bus, the use of a DRB scan tool
and the proper Diagnostic Procedures manual are
recommended.
For more information on the features and control
functions for each of the remote radio switches, refer
to the owner's manual.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - REMOTE
SWITCHES
Any diagnosis of the Audio system should
begin with the use of the DRB diagnostic tool.
For information on the use of the DRB, refer to
the appropriate Diagnostic Service Manual.
For complete circuit diagrams, refer to the appro-
priate wiring information. The wiring information
includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector
repair procedures, details of wire harness routing
and retention, connector pin-out information and
location views for the various wire harness connec-
tors, splices and grounds.

tion switch is in any position except On, and elec-
tronic messages are received over the PCI data bus
from the BCM indicating that the exterior lights are
On with the ignition switch in any position except
On, and the status of the driver side front door is not
closed. The BCM uses internal programming and
hard wired inputs from the left (lighting) control
stalk of the multi-function switch, the ignition
switch, and the driver side front door ajar switch to
determine the proper messages to send to the EMIC.
These chimes will continue to sound until the exte-
rior lighting is turned Off, until the ignition switch is
turned to the On position, or until the status of the
driver side front door ajar input changes from not
closed to closed, whichever occurs first.
²Key-In-Ignition Warning- The EMIC chime
tone generator will generate repetitive ªbong-likeº
chime tones at a fast rate when the ignition switch is
in any position except On, and electronic messages
are received over the PCI data bus from the BCM
indicating that the key is in the ignition lock cylinder
with the ignition switch in any position except On,
and the driver side front door is not closed. The BCM
internal programming and hard wired inputs from
the key-in ignition circuitry of the ignition switch,
the ignition switch, and the driver side front door
ajar switch to determine the proper messages to send
to the EMIC. These chimes will continue to sound
until the key is removed from the ignition lock cylin-
der, until the ignition switch is turned to the On
position, or until the status of the driver side front
door ajar input changes from not closed to closed,
whichever occurs first.
²Low Coolant Warning- On vehicles equipped
with a diesel engine, the EMIC chime tone generator
will generate a single ªbong-likeº chime tone when
the ignition switch is first turned to the On position
and a hard wired input from the engine coolant level
sensor to the EMIC indicates that the coolant level is
low for more than about one-quarter second. Any
time after the ignition switch is first turned to the
On position, the EMIC uses internal programming to
check the status of the engine coolant level sensor
inputs about once every second, then adjusts an
internal counter up or down based upon the status of
this input. When the counter accumulates thirty
inputs indicating that the coolant level is low, a sin-
gle chime tone is sounded. This strategy is intended
to reduce the effect that coolant sloshing within the
coolant reservoir can have on reliable chime warning
operation. This warning will only occur once during
an ignition cycle.
²Low Fuel Warning- Each time the ignition
switch is turned to the On position, the EMIC chime
tone generator will generate a single ªbong-likeº
chime tone the first time an electronic message isreceived over the PCI data bus from the PCM
requesting ªLow Fuelº indicator illumination. The
chime will only occur a second time during the same
ignition cycle if another electronic message has been
received from the PCM indicating that there is an
increase in the fuel level equal to about 3 liters (0.8
gallon), then a subsequent electronic message from
the PCM requests ªLow Fuelº indicator illumination.
This strategy combined with filtering performed by
the internal programming of the PCM on the fuel
tank sending unit input is intended to reduce the
possibility of fuel sloshing within the fuel tank caus-
ing multiple low fuel warning chimes during a given
ignition cycle. The EMIC will also respond with the
low fuel warning chime when electronic fuel level
messages are received from the PCM indicating that
the hard wired input to the PCM from the fuel tank
sending unit is an open circuit (greater than full), or
a short circuit (less than empty).
²Low Washer Fluid Warning- The EMIC
chime tone generator will generate a single ªbong-
likeº chime tone when the ignition switch is turned
to the On position and a hard wired input from the
washer fluid level switch to the EMIC indicates the
washer fluid is low for more than about one-quarter
second. Any time after the ignition switch is first
turned to the On position, the EMIC uses internal
programming to check the status of the washer fluid
level switch inputs about once every second, then
adjusts an internal counter up or down based upon
the status of this input. When the counter accumu-
lates thirty inputs indicating that the washer fluid
level is low, a single chime tone is sounded. This
strategy is intended to reduce the effect that fluid
sloshing within the washer reservoir can have on
reliable chime warning operation. This warning will
only occur once during an ignition cycle.
²Overspeed Warning- The EMIC chime tone
generator will generate repetitive ªbong-likeº chime
tones at a slow rate when the ignition switch is in
the On position, and an electronic message received
over the PCI data bus from the PCM indicates that
the vehicle speed is over a programmed speed value.
The PCM uses internal programming and distance
pulse information received over a hard wired vehicle
speed pulse input from the BCM to determine the
proper vehicle speed messages to send to the EMIC.
The BCM uses an internally programmed electronic
pinion factor and a hard wired input from the rear
wheel speed sensor to calculate the proper distance
pulse information to send to the PCM. The electronic
pinion factor represents the proper tire size and axle
ratio information for the vehicle. These chimes will
continue to sound until the vehicle speed messages
are below the programmed speed value, or until the
ignition switch is turned to the Off position, which-
8B - 4 CHIME/BUZZERKJ
CHIME WARNING SYSTEM (Continued)

ever occurs first. The overspeed warning feature is
only enabled on a BCM that has been programmed
with a Middle East Gulf Coast Country (GCC) coun-
try code.
²No Airbag Indicator Message Warning- The
EMIC chime tone generator will generate one, short,
ªbong-likeº chime tone and turn on the ªAirbagº indi-
cator when the ignition switch is in the On position,
and a PCI data bus ªAirbagº indicator on or off mes-
sage is not received from the ACM for six consecutive
seconds.
²No Antilock Brake Indicator Message Warn-
ing- The EMIC chime tone generator will generate
one, short, ªbong-likeº chime tone and turn on the
ªABSº indicator when the ignition switch is in the On
position, and a PCI data bus ªABSº indicator on or
off message is not received from the CAB for six con-
secutive seconds.
²No Fuel Level Message Warning- The EMIC
chime tone generator will generate one, short, ªbong-
likeº chime tone and turn on the ªLow Fuelº indica-
tor when the ignition switch is in the On position,
and a PCI data bus fuel level message is not received
from the PCM for twelve consecutive seconds.
²Remote Keyless Entry Transmitter Pro-
gramming- On vehicles so equipped, the EMIC
chime tone generator will generate a single ªbong-
likeº chime tone when an electronic message is
received over the PCI data bus from the BCM indi-
cating that a Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmit-
ter has been successfully programmed by the
customer into the RKE module memory.
²Sentry Key Immobilizer System Transpon-
der Programming- On vehicles so equipped, the
EMIC chime tone generator will generate a single
ªbong-likeº chime tone when an electronic message is
received over PCI data bus message from the Sentry
Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM) indicating that the
Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) has been
placed in the ªCustomer Learnº programming mode,
and again each time a new SKIS transponder has
been successfully programmed by the customer.
²Turn Signal Cancel Warning- The EMIC
chime tone generator will generate repetitive ªbong-
likeº chime tones at a slow rate when the vehicle is
driven for a distance of about 3.2 kilometers (about
two miles) with a turn signal indicator flashing. The
EMIC uses an electronic message received over the
PCI data bus from the PCM, and a hard wired input
from the turn signal switch circuitry of the multi-
function switch to determine when to sound the turn
signal cancel warning. The PCM uses internal pro-
gramming and distance pulse information received
over a hard wired vehicle speed pulse input from the
BCM to determine the proper vehicle speed messages
to send to the EMIC. The BCM uses an internallyprogrammed electronic pinion factor and a hard
wired input from the rear wheel speed sensor to cal-
culate the proper distance pulse information to send
to the PCM. The electronic pinion factor represents
the proper tire size and axle ratio information for the
vehicle. These chimes will continue to sound until
the turn signal is turned Off, until the hazard warn-
ing system is turned On, or until the ignition switch
is turned to the Off position, whichever occurs first.
²Water-In-Fuel Warning- On vehicles equipped
with a diesel engine, each time the ignition switch is
turned to the On position, the EMIC chime tone gen-
erator will generate a single ªbong-likeº chime tone
the first time an electronic message is received over
the PCI data bus from the PCM requesting ªWater-
in-Fuelº indicator illumination. The PCM uses inter-
nal programming and a hard wired input from the
water-in-fuel sensor to determine the proper water-
in-fuel messages to send to the EMIC. This warning
will only occur once during an ignition cycle.
The EMIC provides chime service for all available
features in the chime warning system. The EMIC
relies upon its internal programming and hard wired
inputs from the turn signal (multi-function) switch,
the washer fluid level switch, and the engine coolant
level sensor (diesel engine only) to provide chime ser-
vice for the turn signal cancel warning, the low
washer fluid warning, and the low coolant warning
respectively. The EMIC relies upon electronic mes-
sage inputs received from other electronic modules
over the PCI data bus network to provide chime ser-
vice for all of the remaining chime warning system
features. Upon receiving the proper inputs, the EMIC
activates the integral chime tone generator to pro-
vide the audible chime warning to the vehicle opera-
tor. The internal programming of the EMIC
determines the priority of each chime request input
that is received, as well as the rate and duration of
each chime tone that is to be generated. See the own-
er's manual in the vehicle glove box for more infor-
mation on the features provided by the chime
warning system.
The hard wired chime warning system inputs to
the EMIC, as well as other hard wired circuits for
this system may be diagnosed and tested using con-
ventional diagnostic tools and procedures. However,
conventional diagnostic methods may not prove con-
clusive in the diagnosis of the EMIC, the PCI data
bus network, or the electronic message inputs used
by the EMIC to provide chime warning system ser-
vice. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means
to diagnose the EMIC, the PCI data bus network,
and the electronic message inputs for the chime
warning system requires the use of a DRBIIItscan
tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
