COMMUNICATION
DESCRIPTION
The DaimlerChrysler Programmable Communica-
tion Interface (PCI) data bus system is a single wire
multiplex system used for vehicle communications on
many DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles. Multi-
plexing is a system that enables the transmission of
several messages over a single channel or circuit. All
DaimlerChrysler vehicles use this principle for com-
munication between various microprocessor-based
electronic control modules. The PCI data bus exceeds
the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) J1850
Standard for Class B Multiplexing.
Many of the electronic control modules in a vehicle
require information from the same sensing device. In
the past, if information from one sensing device was
required by several controllers, a wire from each con-
troller needed to be connected in parallel to that sen-
sor. In addition, each controller utilizing analog
sensors required an Analog/Digital (A/D) converter in
order to9read9these sensor inputs. Multiplexing
reduces wire harness complexity, sensor current
loads and controller hardware because each sensing
device is connected to only one controller, which
reads and distributes the sensor information to the
other controllers over the data bus. Also, because
each controller on the data bus can access the con-
troller sensor inputs to every other controller on the
data bus, more function and feature capabilities are
possible.
In addition to reducing wire harness complexity,
component sensor current loads and controller hard-
ware, multiplexing offers a diagnostic advantage. A
multiplex system allows the information flowing
between controllers to be monitored using a diagnos-
tic scan tool. The DaimlerChrysler system allows an
electronic control module to broadcast message data
out onto the bus where all other electronic control
modules can9hear9the messages that are being sent.
When a module hears a message on the data bus
that it requires, it relays that message to its micro-
processor. Each module ignores the messages on the
data bus that are being sent to other electronic con-
trol modules.
OPERATION
Data exchange between modules is achieved by
serial transmission of encoded data over a single wire
broadcast network. The wire colors used for the PCI
data bus circuits are yellow with a violet tracer, or
violet with a yellow tracer, depending upon the appli-
cation. The PCI data bus messages are carried over
the bus in the form of Variable Pulse Width Modu-
lated (VPWM) signals. The PCI data bus speed is an
average 10.4 Kilo-bits per second (Kbps). By compar-

mission have an illuminated transmission range indi-
cator integral to the console mounted gearshift
mechanism, and controlled by the panel lamps dim-
mer circuit.
²Vanity Lamps- Available single intensity van-
ity lamps are located on each side of a covered mirror
on both the right and left sun visors, and are con-
trolled by an integral vanity mirror cover-actuated
switch on the courtesy lamp circuit.
Other components of the interior lighting system
for this model include:
²Body Control Module- The Body Control
Module (BCM) is located on the Junction Block (JB)
under the driver side outboard end of the instrument
panel. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC
CONTROL MODULES/BODY CONTROL MODULE
- DESCRIPTION).
²Door Ajar Switches- A door ajar switch is
integral to the door latch mechanism of each front
and rear door.
²Flip-Up Glass Ajar Switch- A flip-up glass
ajar switch is integral to the flip-up glass latch mech-
anism on the top of the tailgate inner panel.
²Multi-Function Switch- The multi-function
switch is located on the top of the steering column,
just below the steering wheel. The multi-function
switch includes a left (lighting) control stalk and a
right (wiper) control stalk. The left control stalk is
dedicated to providing almost all of the driver con-
trols for both the exterior and interior lighting sys-
tems. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/LAMPS/LIGHTING
- EXTERIOR/MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH -
DESCRIPTION).
²Tailgate Ajar Switch- A tailgate ajar switch is
integral to the latch mechanism of the tailgate.
Hard wired circuitry connects the interior lighting
system components to the electrical system of the
vehicle. These hard wired circuits are integral to sev-
eral 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 interior lighting
system components 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 infor-
mation. The wiring information includes wiring dia-
grams, proper wire and connector repair procedures,
further details on wire harness routing and reten-
tion, as well as pin-out and location views for the
various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.
OPERATION
The interior lighting systems can be divided into
two general classifications based upon the circuit
that controls their operation: The courtesy lamp cir-cuit, or the panel lamps dimmer circuit. Following
are paragraphs that briefly describe the operation of
each of the major interior lighting systems. The hard
wired circuits and components of the interior lighting
systems may be diagnosed and tested using conven-
tional diagnostic tools and procedures. However, con-
ventional diagnostic methods may not prove
conclusive in the diagnosis of the Body Control Mod-
ule (BCM), the ElectroMechanical Instrument Clus-
ter (EMIC), or the Programmable Communications
Interface (PCI) data bus network. The most reliable,
efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the BCM,
the EMIC, and the PCI data bus network inputs and
outputs related to the various interior lighting sys-
tems requires the use of a DRBIIItscan tool. Refer
to the appropriate diagnostic information.
COURTESY LAMP CIRCUIT Depending upon the
selected vehicle options the courtesy lamp circuit
may include the courtesy lamps located below the
instrument panel, the dome or map/reading lamps
located in the headliner near the windshield, the
cargo lamp located in the headliner near the rear
roof header, and the vanity lamps located in the sun
visors. The lamps in the courtesy lamp circuit are
provided with battery current at all times from a
fused B(+) fuse in the Junction Block (JB) through a
fused B(+) circuit. The Body Control Module (BCM)
controls the ground path for these lamps using an
internal driver through the courtesy lamp driver cir-
cuit based upon hard wired inputs from the door ajar
switches, the flip-up glass ajar switch, and the tail-
gate ajar switch. After all of the ajar switch inputs to
the BCM transition to open, the BCM will keep the
lamps illuminated for about 27 seconds, then fade
the lamps to off (theater dimming) over about three
seconds.
The BCM also provides courtesy lamp operation
based upon a resistor multiplexed input from the
interior lighting control ring on the left (lighting)
control stalk of the multi-function switch through the
headlamp switch mux circuit, and in response to cer-
tain inputs from the optional Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) system. A resistor multiplexed courtesy lamp
defeat input from the control ring on the left (light-
ing) control stalk of the multi-function switch will
cause the BCM to override normal courtesy lamp
operation based upon inputs from all of the ajar
switches. A hard wired input from the courtesy lamp
defeat switch in the optional cargo lamp through a
rear courtesy lamp control circuit will cause the BCM
to override normal courtesy lamp operation based
upon inputs from only the flip-up glass and tailgate
ajar switches.
For those lamps on the courtesy lamp circuit with
independent switching, such as the optional reading
lamps and vanity lamps, the BCM provides a ground

UNIVERSAL TRANSMITTER
DESCRIPTION
On some KJ models a Universal Transmitter trans-
ceiver is standard factory-installed equipment. The
universal transmitter transceiver is integral to the
Compass Mini-Trip Computer (CMTC), which is
located in the overhead console. The only visible com-
ponent of the universal transmitter are the three
transmitter push buttons (Fig. 7) centered between
the four CMTC push buttons located just rearward of
the CMTC display screen in the overhead console.
The three universal transmitter push buttons are
identified with one, two or three light indicators so
that they be easily identified by sight or by feel.
Each of the three universal transmitter push but-
tons controls an independent radio transmitter chan-
nel. Each of these three channels can be trained totransmit a different radio frequency signal for the
remote operation of garage door openers, motorized
gate openers, home or office lighting, security sys-
tems or just about any other device that can be
equipped with a radio receiver in the 286 to 399
MegaHertz (MHz) frequency range for remote opera-
tion. The universal transmitter is capable of operat-
ing systems using either rolling code or non-rolling
code technology.
The CMTC module displays messages and a small
house-shaped icon with one, two or three dots corre-
sponding to the three transmitter buttons to indicate
the status of the Universal Transmitter.
The Universal Transmitter cannot be repaired, and
is available for service only as a unit with the CMTC
module. This unit includes the push button switches
and the plastic module and display lens. If any of
these components is faulty or damaged, the complete
CMTC module must be replaced.
OPERATION
The universal transmitter operates on a non-
switched source of battery current so the unit will
remain functional, regardless of the ignition switch
position. For more information on the features, pro-
gramming procedures and operation of the universal
transmitter, see the owner's manual in the vehicle
glove box.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - UNIVERSAL
TRANSMITTER
If the Universal Transmitter is inoperative, but the
Compass Mini-Trip Computer (CMTC) is operating
normally, see the owner's manual in the vehicle glove
box for instructions on training the universal trans-
mitter. Retrain the universal transmitter with a
known good transmitter as instructed in the owner's
manual and test the universal transmitter operation
again. If the unit is still inoperative, replace the
faulty universal transmitter and CMTC module as a
unit. If both the universal transmitter and the CMTC
module are inoperative, refer toDiagnosis and
Testing the Compass Mini-Trip Computerin this
section for further diagnosis. For complete circuit
diagrams, refer toOverhead Consolein Wiring
Diagrams.

POWER LOCKS
DESCRIPTION
POWER LOCKS
A power operated door and tailgate lock system is
available factory-installed equipment on this model.
The power lock system allows all of the doors and thetailgate to be locked or unlocked electrically by oper-
ating a switch on either front door trim panel. The
power lock system receives non-switched battery cur-
rent through a fuse in the Junction Block (JB), so
that the power locks remain operational, regardless
of the ignition switch position.
The Body Control Module (BCM) locks the doors
and tailgate automatically when the vehicle is driven
beyond the speed of 25.7 Km/h (15 mph), all doors
KJPOWER SYSTEMS 8N - 1
are closed and the accelerator pedal is depressed.
The rolling door lock feature can be disabled if
desired.
This vehicle also offers several customer program-
mable features, which allows the selection of several
optional electronic features to suit individual prefer-
ences.
The power lock system for this vehicle can also be
operated remotely using the available Remote Key-
less Entry (RKE) system radio frequency transmit-
ters, if equipped.
Certain functions and features of the power lock
system rely upon resources shared with other elec-
tronic modules in the vehicle over the Programmable
Communications Interface (PCI) data bus network.
For proper diagnosis of these electronic modules or of
the PCI data bus network, the use of a DRBIIItscan
tool and the appropriate diagnostic information are
required.
REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY
A Radio Frequency (RF) type Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) system is an available factory-installed
option on this model. The RKE system allows the use
of a remote battery-powered radio transmitter to sig-
nal the Body Control Module (BCM) to actuate the
power lock system. The RKE receiver operates on
non-switched battery current through a fuse in the
Junction Block (JB), so that the system remains
operational, regardless of the ignition switch position.
The RKE transmitters are also equipped with a
Panic button. If the Panic button on the RKE trans-
mitter is depressed, the horn will sound and the
exterior lights will flash on the vehicle for about
three minutes, or until the Panic button is depressed
a second time. A vehicle speed of about 25.7 kilome-
ters-per-hour (15 miles-per-hour) will also cancel the
panic event.
The RKE system can also perform other functions
on this vehicle. If the vehicle is equipped with the
optional Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS), the
RKE transmitter will arm the VTSS when the Lock
button is depressed, and disarm the VTSS when the
Unlock button is depressed.
The RKE system includes two transmitters when
the vehicle is shipped from the factory, but the sys-
tem can retain the vehicle access codes of up to four
transmitters. The transmitter codes are retained in
the RKE receiver memory, even if the battery is dis-
connected. If an RKE transmitter is faulty or lost,
new transmitter vehicle access codes can be pro-
grammed into the system using a DRBIIItscan tool.
This vehicle also offers several customer program-
mable features, which allows the selection of several
optional electronic features to suit individual prefer-ences. Customer programmable feature options
affecting the RKE system include:
²Remote Unlock Sequence- Allows the option
of having only the driver side front door unlock when
the RKE transmitter Unlock button is depressed the
first time. The remaining doors and the tailgate
unlock when the button is depressed a second time
within 5 seconds of the first unlock press. Another
option is having all doors and the tailgate unlock
upon the first depression of the RKE transmitter
Unlock button.
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.
²Flash Lights with Lock and Unlock- Allows
the option of having the lights flash as an optical ver-
ification that the RKE system received a valid Lock
request or Unlock request from the RKE transmitter,
or having no optical verification.
²Programming Additional Transmitters-
Allows up to four transmitter vehicle access codes to
be stored in the receiver memory.
Certain functions and features of the RKE 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. For diagnosis of these electronic
modules or of the PCI data bus network, the use of a
DRBIIItscan tool and the appropriate diagnostic
information are required.
TAILGATE / FLIP-UP GLASS POWER RELEASE
SYSTEM
A power operated tailgate / flip-up glass release
system is standard factory installed equipment on
this model. The entire system is controlled by the
Body Control Module (BCM). The tailgate / flip-up
glass power release system allows the flip-up glass
latch to be released electrically by actuating a switch
located integral to the outside tailgate handle. By
pulling the handle to the first detent or turning the
key cylinder to unlock, the flip-up glass will open.
Pulling the handle to the second detent will allow the
tailgate to open.
The tailgate / flip-up glass release system operates
on non-switched battery current supplied through a
fuse in the junction block so that the system remains
functional, regardless of the ignition switch position.
However, the BCM prevents the flip-up glass latch
from being actuated when the tailgate latch is
locked.
8N - 2 POWER LOCKSKJ
POWER LOCKS (Continued)
The tailgate will lock and can not be unlocked if
the rear wiper switch is activated. The tailgate will
also lock if battery power is lost and then restored.
The tailgate/flip-up glass will not function with the
battery discharged or disconnected.
COMBINATION FLASHER
This flasher can be energized by the BCM to flash
all of the park/turn signal lamps as a optical alert for
the RKE panic function and, if the Flash Lights with
Lock programmable feature is enabled, as an optical
verification for the RKE lock event.
HORN RELAY
This relay can be energized by the BCM to sound
the horns as an audible alert for the RKE panic func-
tion and, if the Sound Horn on Lock programmable
feature is enabled, as an audible verification for the
RKE lock event.
LOW BEAM HEADLAMP RELAY
This relay can be energized by the BCM to flash
the headlamp low beams as an optical alert for the
RKE panic function.
OPERATION
POWER LOCKS
The Body Control Module (BCM) locks or unlocks
the doors when an actuation input signal from a door
lock switch or Remote Keyless Entry Module (RKE)
is received. The BCM turns on the output drivers
and provides a voltage level to the door lock motor
for a specified time. All passenger doors can be
locked or unlocked using a mechanical button
mounted on the door trim panel. The front passenger
doors and tailgate can be locked or unlocked by using
the key cylinder (tailgate cylinder does not lock/un-
lock vehicle. It only unlocks the tailgate). The tail-
gate will lock and can not be unlocked if the rear
wiper switch is activated (this prevents the wiper
from operating when the tailgate is ajar). The tail-
gate will also lock if battery power is lost and then
restored.
AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS
When the automatic door locks are ENABLED the
door locks will lock when the vehicle is moving at
about 25.7 Km/h (15 mph), all doors are closed and
the accelerator pedal is depressed. This feature can
be switched ON or OFF as desired. When the system
is DISABLED the door locks will operate normally,
but will not lock automatically when the vehicle is
rolling. Once the automatic door locks have been
actuated, they will not try to lock the doors again
until a door is opened.
DOOR LOCK INHIBIT
If the key is in the ignition, in any position, and
either front door is ajar, the doors can not be locked,
but the unlock function still operates. Pressing the
RKE lock/unlock button under these conditions will
result in a normal lock/unlock activation.
After the key is removed from the Ignition Switch,
or the doors are closed, the power door locks will
operate normally.
DOOR LOCK CIRCUIT PROTECTION
The BCM controls the door lock relays. If the door
lock switch is actuated continuously for more than
five seconds the BCM will turn the output driver
OFF (the BCM would consider the switch stuck).
Each lock motor is protected with a Positive Temper-
ature Coefficient device that prevents motor burn
out.
REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY
²LOCK: Pressing the LOCK button locks all
doors, sounds horn (chirp) if enabled, and arms the
Vehicle Theft Security System, if enabled. The chirp
verifies that the RKE receiver has sent a message to
the BCM for door lock operation. If a door has not
been closed before pressing the LOCK button, the
vehicle may not be secured and the VTSS (if
equipped) will not arm until the door is closed.
²UNLOCK: Pressing the UNLOCK button once
will unlock the driver's door and activate the illumi-
nated entry system and disarm Vehicle Theft Secu-
rity System, if equipped. Pressing the UNLOCK
button twice within five seconds will unlock all doors.
²TAILGATE: Pressing the TAILGATE BUTTON
unlocks the tailgate remotely and opens the flip-up
glass.
²PANIC: Pressing the PANIC button sounds the
horns at half second intervals, flashes the exterior
lamps, and turns ON the interior lamps. The panic
alarm will remain on for three minutes, or until the
PANIC button is actuated again or the ignition
switch is turned to the RUN position.
The Remote Keyless Entry Module is capable of
retaining the transmitter Vehicle Access Code(s) in
its memory even after vehicle power has been inter-
rupted.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - POWER LOCKS
The Body Control Module (BCM) enters a
reduced power mode after the key is turned
OFF. All diagnosis and testing of the power lock
system must be done with the key in the ON
position unless otherwise stated.
The most reliable, efficient, and accurate
means to diagnose the power lock system
requires the use of a DRBIIItscan tool and the
KJPOWER LOCKS 8N - 3
POWER LOCKS (Continued)
proper Diagnostic Procedures manual. The
DRBIIItscan tool can provide confirmation
that the PCI data bus is functional, that all of
the electronic modules are sending and receiv-
ing the proper messages on the PCI data bus,
and that the power lock motors are being sent
the proper hard wired outputs by the relays for
them to perform their power lock system func-
tions.
Following are tests that will help to diagnose the
hard wired components and circuits of the power lock
system. However, these tests may not prove conclu-
sive in the diagnosis of this system. In order to
obtain conclusive testing of the power lock system,
the Programmable Communications Interface (PCI)
data bus network and all of the electronic modules
that provide inputs to, or receive outputs from the
power lock system components must be checked.
The Body Control Module (BCM) will set Diagnos-
tic Trouble Codes (DTC) for the power lock system.
Refer to the appropriate 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 connectors, splices and grounds.
PRELIMINARY DIAGNOSIS
As a preliminary diagnosis for the power lock sys-
tem, note the system operation while you actuate
both the Lock and Unlock functions with the power
lock switches and with the Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) transmitter. Then, proceed as follows:
²If the entire power lock system fails to function
with either the power lock switches or the RKE
transmitter, check the fused B(+) fuse in the junction
Block (JB).
²If the power lock system functions with both
power lock switches, but not with the RKE transmit-
ter, proceed to diagnosis of the Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) system. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER
LOCKS/KEYLESS ENTRY TRANSMITTER - DIAG-
NOSIS AND TESTING) or (Refer to 8 - ELECTRI-
CAL/POWER LOCKS/REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY
MODULE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
²If the power lock system functions with the RKE
transmitter, but not with one or both power lock
switches, proceed to diagnosis of the door lock
switches. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER
LOCKS/POWER LOCK SWITCH - DIAGNOSIS AND
TESTING).
²If the driver side power lock switch operates
only the driver side front door power lock motor, but
all other power lock motors operate with the passen-
ger side power lock switch or the RKE transmitter,
use a DRBIIItscan tool and the appropriate diagnos-tic information to diagnose the Programmable Com-
munications Interface (PCI) data bus.
²If only one power lock motor fails to operate
with both power lock switches and the RKE trans-
mitter, proceed to diagnosis of the power lock motor.

DESCRIPTION
When an RKE lock message is sent to the Body
Control Module (BCM), the BCM actuates the doors
and the tailgate lock, the interior lighting is turned
off, the horn chirps (if this feature is enabled), the
exterior lamps flash (if this feature is enabled) and, if
the vehicle is so equipped, the Vehicle Theft Security
System (VTSS) is armed. When an RKE unlock mes-
sage is sent to the BCM, the BCM actuates the
driver side front door (or all doors and the tailgate if
this feature is enabled) unlock, the interior lighting
is turned on and, if the vehicle is so equipped, the
VTSS is disarmed.When an RKE panic message is sent to the BCM,
the BCM actuates the driver side front door (or all
doors and the tailgate if this feature is enabled)
unlock, the interior lighting is turned on and, if the
vehicle is so equipped, the VTSS is disarmed. The
panic message will also cause the exterior lamps
(including the headlights) to flash, and the horn to
pulse for about three minutes, or until a second panic
message is sent to the BCM. A vehicle speed of about
25.7 kilometers-per-hour (15 miles-per-hour) will also
cancel the panic event.
Refer to the owner's manual for more information
on the features, use and operation of the RKE sys-
tem.
OPERATION
Whenever the vehicle battery power is interrupted,
the Remote Keyless Module (RKE) Module will retain
all vehicle access codes in its memory. When replac-
ing or adding a key fob transmitter (maximum of 4) a
DRB IIItscan tool is required to program the RKE
Module to accept the new Vehicle Access Code if a
customer owned transmitter is not available.
