DESCRIPTION
An audio system is standard factory-installed
equipment on this model. Several combinations of
radio receivers and speaker systems are offered on
this model. The audio system uses an ignition
switched source of battery current so that the system
will only operate when the ignition switch is in the
RUN or ACCESSORY positions.
The audio system includes the following compo-
nents:
²Amplifier choke and relay
²Antenna
²Compact disc changer (if equipped)
²Power amplifier mounted to each front door
speaker (with premium speaker system only)
²Radio noise suppression components
²Radio receiver
²Remote radio switches (if equipped)
²SpeakersCertain functions and features of the audio system
rely upon resources shared with other electronic
modules in the vehicle over the Programmable Com-
munication Interface (PCI) bus network. The data
bus network allows the sharing of sensor informa-
tion. For diagnosis of these electronic modules or of
the data bus network, the use of a DRB scan tool and
the proper Diagnostic Procedures manual are recom-
mended.
Refer to the appropriate wiring information for
complete standard and premium audio system circuit
diagrams. The wiring information includes 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.
OPERATION
The audio system components are designed to pro-
vide audio entertainment and information through
the reception, tuning and amplification of locally
broadcast radio signals in both the Amplitude Modu-
KJAUDIO 8A - 1
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.

REMOTE SWITCHES (Continued)
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

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.

POWERTRAIN CONTROL
MODULE
DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION - PCM
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is located
in the engine compartment (Fig. 8). The PCM is
referred to as JTEC.
DESCRIPTION - MODES OF OPERATION
As input signals to the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) change, the PCM adjusts its response to the
output devices. For example, the PCM must calculate
different injector pulse width and ignition timing for
idle than it does for wide open throttle (WOT).
The PCM will operate in two different modes:
Open Loop and Closed Loop.
During Open Loop modes, the PCM receives input
signals and responds only according to preset PCM
programming. Input from the oxygen (O2S) sensors
is not monitored during Open Loop modes.
During Closed Loop modes, the PCM will monitor
the oxygen (O2S) sensors input. This input indicates
to the PCM whether or not the calculated injector
pulse width results in the ideal air-fuel ratio. This
ratio is 14.7 parts air-to-1 part fuel. By monitoring
the exhaust oxygen content through the O2S sensor,
the PCM can fine tune the injector pulse width. This
is done to achieve optimum fuel economy combined
with low emission engine performance.
The fuel injection system has the following modes
of operation:
²Ignition switch ON
²Engine start-up (crank)
²Engine warm-up
²Idle
²Cruise
²Acceleration
²Deceleration
²Wide open throttle (WOT)
²Ignition switch OFF
The ignition switch On, engine start-up (crank),
engine warm-up, acceleration, deceleration and wide
open throttle modes are Open Loop modes. The idle
and cruise modes, (with the engine at operating tem-
perature) are Closed Loop modes.
IGNITION SWITCH (KEY-ON) MODE
This is an Open Loop mode. When the fuel system
is activated by the ignition switch, the following
actions occur:
²The PCM pre-positions the idle air control (IAC)
motor.
²The PCM determines atmospheric air pressure
from the MAP sensor input to determine basic fuel
strategy.
