2002 JEEP LIBERTY Bus switch

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.

A chime warning system is standard factory-in-
stalled equipment on this model. The chime warning
system uses a single chime tone generator that is sol-
dered onto the electronic circuit board that is integral
to the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC)
to provide an audible indication of various vehicle
conditions that may require the attention of the vehi-
cle operator or occupants (Fig. 1). The microproces-
sor-based EMIC utilizes electronic chime request
messages received from other electronic modules in
the vehicle over the Programmable Communications
Interface (PCI) data bus network along with hard
wired inputs to the cluster microprocessor to monitor
many sensors and switches throughout the vehicle.
In response to those inputs, the integrated circuitry
and internal programming of the EMIC allow it to
control audible outputs that are produced through its
on-board chime tone generator.
The EMIC circuitry and its chime tone generator
are capable of producing each of the four following
audible outputs:
²Fixed Duration Beep- A short, sharp, single
tactile ªbeep-likeº tone that is about 150 milliseconds
in duration.
²Single Chime Tone- A single ªbong-likeº chime
tone.
²Slow Rate Repetitive Chime- Repeated
chime tones that are issued at a slow rate of about
50 ªbong-likeº tones per minute.
²Fast Rate Repetitive Chime- Repeated chime
tones that are issued at a fast rate of about 180
ªbong-likeº tones per minute.
Hard wired circuitry connects the EMIC and the
various chime warning system switch and sensor
inputs to their electronic modules and to each other
through the electrical system of the vehicle. These
hard wired circuits are integral to numerous wire
harnesses, which are routed throughout the vehicle
and retained by many different methods. These cir-
cuits may be connected to each other, to the vehicle
electrical system and to the chime warning system
through the use of a combination of soldered splices,
splice block connectors, and many different types of
wire harness terminal connectors and insulators.
Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wir-
ing 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 har-
ness connectors, splices and grounds.
The EMIC chime warning system circuitry and
integral chime tone generator cannot be adjusted or
repaired. If the EMIC or the chime tone generator
are damaged or faulty, the EMIC unit must be
replaced.OPERATION
The chime warning system is designed to provide
an audible output as an indication of various condi-
tions that may require the attention or awareness of
the vehicle operator or occupants. The chime warning
system components operate on battery current
received through a fused B(+) fuse in the Junction
Block (JB) on a non-switched fused B(+) circuit so
that the system may operate regardless of the igni-
tion switch position. However, the chime warning
system also monitors the ignition switch position so
that some chime features will only occur with igni-
tion switch in the On position, while others occur
regardless of the ignition switch position.
The chime warning system provides an audible
indication to the vehicle operator or occupants under
the following conditions:
²Airbag Indicator Warning- The ElectroMe-
chanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC) chime tone gen-
erator will generate one, short, ªbong-likeº chime
tone when the ignition switch is in the On position,
and an electronic message is received over the Pro-
grammable Communications Interface (PCI) data bus
from the Airbag Control Module (ACM) requesting
ªAirbagº indicator illumination. This warning will
only occur following completion of the ªAirbagº indi-
cator bulb test, and will only occur once during an
ignition cycle. The ACM uses internal programming,
hard wired inputs from the front Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) components and, on vehicles
so equipped, electronic messages received over the
PCI data bus from each Side Impact Airbag Control
Module (SIACM) to determine the proper ªAirbagº
indicator messages to send to the EMIC.
²Anti-Lock Brake Indicator Warning- The
EMIC chime tone generator will generate one, short,
ªbong-likeº chime tone when the ignition switch is in
the On position, and an electronic message is
received over the PCI data bus from the Controller
Anti-lock Brake (CAB) requesting ªAntilock Brake
System (ABS)º indicator illumination. This warning
will only occur following completion of the ªABSº
indicator bulb test, and will only occur once during
an ignition cycle. The CAB uses internal program-
ming, hard wired inputs from the Antilock Brake
System (ABS) components, and electronic messages
received over the PCI data bus from the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) to determine the proper
ªABSº indicator messages to send to the EMIC.
²Compass Mini-Trip Computer Reset- The
EMIC chime tone generator will generate one, short,
fixed duration ªbeep-likeº chime tone when the igni-
tion switch is in the On position, and an electronic
message is received over the PCI data bus from the
optional Compass Mini-Trip Computer (CMTC)
requesting that the CMTC elapsed time, average fuel
8B - 2 CHIME/BUZZERKJ
CHIME WARNING SYSTEM (Continued)

economy, and/or trip odometer data has been reset.
The CMTC uses internal programming, hard wired
inputs from the U.S./Metric and Reset switches, and
electronic messages received from the Body Control
Module (BCM) to determine the proper reset mes-
sages to send to the EMIC.
²Door Ajar Warning- The EMIC chime tone
generator will generate a single ªbong-likeº chime
tone when the ignition switch is in the On position,
and electronic messages are received over the PCI
data bus from the Body Control Module (BCM) indi-
cating that the status of any door ajar input has
changed from closed to not closed, and from the PCM
indicating that the vehicle is moving. The BCM uses
internal programming, and hard wired inputs from
the door ajar switches and the ignition switch to
determine the proper door ajar switch messages to
send to the EMIC. The PCM uses internal program-
ming and a hard wired vehicle speed pulse input
received from the BCM to determine the proper vehi-
cle distance messages to send to the EMIC.
²Electrical System Voltage Low or High
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 is received over the PCI
data bus from the PCM requesting ªChargingº indi-
cator illumination. This warning would indicate that
the monitored electrical system voltage is either too
low or too high. This warning will only occur once
during an ignition cycle. The PCM uses internal pro-
gramming and hard wired inputs from the electrical
and charging systems to determine the proper
ªChargingº indicator messages to send to the EMIC.
²Engine Coolant Temperature High Warning
- Each time the ignition switch is turned to the On
position, the EMIC chime tone generator will gener-
ate ªbong-likeº chime tones the first time an elec-
tronic message is received over the PCI data bus
from the PCM indicating that the engine coolant
temperature is too high. This chime will sound for
five consecutive single tones, unless an electronic
message is received from the PCM indicating that
the engine coolant temperature is not too high, or
unless the ignition switch is turned to the Off posi-
tion before the five single tones have completed. The
PCM uses internal programming and a hard wired
input from the engine coolant temperature sensor to
determine the proper engine coolant temperature
messages to send to the EMIC.
²Engine Oil Pressure Low Warning- Each
time the ignition switch is turned to the On position,
the EMIC chime tone generator will generate a sin-
gle ªbong-likeº chime tone the first time three
sequential sets of electronic messages are received
over the PCI data bus from the PCM indicating thatthe engine oil pressure is too low with the engine
running. The PCM uses internal programming and
hard wired inputs from the oil pressure sensor and
the crankshaft position sensor to determine the
proper oil pressure and engine speed messages to
send to the EMIC.
²Fasten Seat Belt Warning- Each time the
ignition switch is turned to the On position, the
EMIC chime tone generator will generate repetitive
ªbong-likeº chime tones at a slow rate the first time
an electronic message is received over the PCI data
bus from the ACM requesting ªSeatbeltº indicator
illumination. The ACM uses internal programming
and hard wired inputs from the driver side front seat
belt switch and the ignition switch to determine that
the driver side front seat belt is not fastened with
the ignition switch in the On position. These chimes
will continue to sound for a duration of about six sec-
onds each time the ignition switch is turned to the
On position, or until the driver side front seat belt is
fastened, whichever occurs first. This audible warn-
ing occurs independent of the visual warning pro-
vided by the EMIC ªSeatbeltº indicator.
²Gate Ajar Warning- The EMIC chime tone
generator will generate a single ªbong-likeº chime
tone when the ignition switch is in the On position,
and electronic messages are received over the PCI
data bus from the BCM indicating that the status of
the tailgate ajar input has changed from closed to
not closed, and from the PCM indicating that the
vehicle is moving. The BCM uses internal program-
ming, and hard wired inputs from the tailgate ajar
switch and the ignition switch to determine the
proper tailgate ajar switch messages to send to the
EMIC. The PCM uses internal programming and a
hard wired vehicle speed pulse input received from
the BCM to determine the proper vehicle distance
messages to send to the EMIC.
²Glass Ajar Warning- The EMIC chime tone
generator will generate a single ªbong-likeº chime
tone when the ignition switch is in the On position,
and electronic messages are received over the PCI
data bus from the BCM indicating that the status of
the rear flip-up glass ajar input has changed from
closed to not closed, and from the PCM indicating
that the vehicle is moving. The BCM uses internal
programming, and hard wired inputs from the flip-up
glass ajar switch and the ignition switch to deter-
mine the proper flip-up glass ajar switch messages to
send to the EMIC. The PCM uses internal program-
ming and a hard wired vehicle speed pulse input
received from the BCM to determine the proper vehi-
cle distance messages to send to the EMIC.
²Head/Park/Fog Lights-On Warning- The
EMIC chime tone generator will generate repetitive
ªbong-likeº chime tones at a fast rate when the igni-
KJCHIME/BUZZER 8B - 3
CHIME WARNING SYSTEM (Continued)

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.
KJCHIME/BUZZER 8B - 5
CHIME WARNING SYSTEM (Continued)

There are two different versions of the BCM: base
and premium. The base BCM is a subset of the com-
ponents in the premium version. Basically, the base
version BCM does not support the following features:
Compass Mini-Trip Computer (CMTC), fog lamps
(front and/or rear), Remote Keyless Entry (RKE),
remote radio switches, or Vehicle Theft Security Sys-
tem (VTSS). Both versions of the BCM utilize inte-
grated circuitry and information carried on the
Programmable Communications Interface (PCI) databus network along with many hard wired inputs to
monitor many sensor and switch inputs throughout
the vehicle. In response to those inputs, the internal
circuitry and programming of the BCM allow it to
control and integrate many electronic functions and
features of the vehicle through both hard wired out-
puts and the transmission of electronic message out-
puts to other electronic modules in the vehicle over
the PCI data bus. The electronic functions and fea-
tures that the BCM supports or controls include the
following:
²A/C Select Switch Status- The BCM monitors
an input from, and transmits the status of the A/C
switch on the heater-A/C control.
²Ambient Temperature Data- The premium
BCM monitors and transmits the ambient tempera-
ture sensor input data.
²Cargo Lamp Disable- The BCM monitors an
input from the cargo lamp switch to provide an inte-
rior lighting disable feature.
²Chimes- The chime tone generator is located
on the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC)
circuit board, but the EMIC goes to sleep with the
ignition switch in the Off position. The BCM provides
a wake-up output to the EMIC based upon inputs
from the key-in ignition switch or the exterior light-
ing switch, then sends electronic chime request mes-
sages to the EMIC for the headlamps-on warning
and key-in ignition warning.
²Door Lock Inhibit- The BCM monitors the
key-in ignition switch and the driver side front door
ajar switch to provide a door lock inhibit feature.
²Exterior Lamp Load Shedding- The BCM
provides a battery saver feature which will automat-
ically turn off exterior lamps that remain on after a
timed interval.
²Exterior Lamp Status- The BCM monitors
the status of the park lamp, low beam, high beam or
Daytime Running Lamp (DRL - Canada only), front
fog lamp (optional), and rear fog lamp (in required
markets only) relays.
²Exterior Lighting Control- The BCM pro-
vides exterior lamp control for standard head and
park lamps, as well as Daytime Running Lamps
(DRL - Canada only), front fog lamps (optional), and
rear fog lamps (in required markets only). This
includes support for features including optical horn
(also known as flash-to-pass) and headlamp time
delay.
²Flip-Up Glass Control- The BCM monitors
the tailgate cylinder lock switch, the tailgate handle
switch, the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) module
inputs and the rear wiper switch to provide control
for the rear flip-up glass actuator.
