2002 JEEP LIBERTY service

electronic circuitry of the ITM which includes a
microprocessor, and an ultrasonic receive transducer.
A molded plastic connector receptacle containing six
terminal pins that is soldered to a small circuit board
and extends through a clearance hole in the left front
corner of the ITM housing, and an ultrasonic trans-
mit transducer housing extends from the center of
the right side of the ITM housing. Both the transmit
transducer on the right side of the module and the
receive transducer on the ITM circuit board are
aimed through two small round holes in the sight
shield of the trim cover. The ITM is connected to the
vehicle electrical system by a dedicated take out and
connector of the overhead wire harness that is inte-
gral to the headliner.
The ITM unit cannot be adjusted or repaired and,
if faulty or damaged, it must be replaced. The ITM is
serviced as a unit with the trim cover.
OPERATION
The microprocessor in the Intrusion Transceiver
Module (ITM) contains the motion sensor logic cir-
cuits and controls all of the features of the premium
version of the Vehicle Theft Alarm (VTA). The ITM
uses On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) and can communi-
cate with other electronic modules in the vehicle as
well as with the DRBIIItscan tool using the Pro-
grammable Communications Interface (PCI) data bus
network. This method of communication is used by
the ITM to communicate with the Body Control Mod-
ule (BCM) and for diagnosis and testing through the
16-way data link connector located on the driver side
lower edge of the instrument panel. The ITM also
communicates with the alarm siren over a dedicated
serial bus circuit.
The ITM microprocessor continuously monitors
inputs from its on-board motion sensor circuitry as
well as inputs from the BCM and the alarm siren
module. The on-board ITM motion sensor circuitry
transmits ultrasonic signals into the vehicle cabin
through a transmit transducer, then listens to the
returning signals as the bounce off of objects in the
vehicle interior. If an object is moving in the interior,
a detection circuit in the ITM senses this movement
through the modulation of the returning ultrasonic
signals that occurs due to the Doppler effect. The
motion detect function of the ITM can be disabled by
depressing the ªLockº button on the Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) transmitter three times within fifteen
seconds, while the security indicator is still flashing
rapidly. The ITM will signal the alarm siren module
to provide a single siren ªchirpº as an audible confir-
mation that the motion sensor function has been dis-
abled.
If movement is detected, the ITM sends an elec-
tronic message to the BCM over the PCI data bus toflash the exterior lighting and sends an electronic
message to the alarm siren module over a dedicated
serial bus line to sound the siren. When the BCM
detects a breach in the perimeter protection through
a door, tailgate, flip-up glass, or hood ajar switch
input, it sends an electronic message to the ITM and
the ITM sends an electronic message to the BCM
over the PCI data bus to flash the exterior lighting
and sends an electronic message to the alarm siren
module over a dedicated serial bus line to sound the
siren. The ITM also monitors inputs from the alarm
siren module for siren battery or siren input/output
circuit tamper alerts, and siren battery condition
alerts, then sets active and stored Diagnostic Trouble
Codes (DTC) for any monitored system faults it
detects. An active fault only remains for the current
ignition switch cycle, while a stored fault causes a
DTC to be stored in memory by the ITM. If a fault
does not recur for fifty ignition cycles, the ITM will
automatically erase the stored DTC.
The ITM is connected to the vehicle electrical sys-
tem through a dedicated take out and connector of
the overhead wire harness. The ITM receives battery
current on a fused B(+) circuit through a fuse in the
Junction Block (JB), and receives ground through a
ground circuit and take out of the body wire harness.
This ground take out has a single eyelet terminal
connector that is secured by a ground screw to the
base of the left D-pillar behind the quarter trim
panel. These connections allow the ITM to remain
operational, regardless of the ignition switch position.
The hard wired inputs and outputs for the ITM may
be diagnosed and tested using conventional diagnos-
tic tools and procedures. However, conventional diag-
nostic methods will not prove conclusive in the
diagnosis of the ITM, the PCI data bus network, or
the electronic message inputs to and outputs from
the ITM. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate
means to diagnose the ITM, the PCI data bus net-
work, and the electronic message inputs to and out-
puts from the ITM requires the use of a DRBIIIt
scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic infor-
mation.

FRONT WASHER HOSES/
TUBES
DESCRIPTION
The front washer plumbing consists of a small
diameter rubber hose that is routed from the barbed
outlet nipple of the reversible electric washer pump/
motor unit on the washer reservoir through a trough
molded into the reservoir forward of the washer
pump and along the reservoir filler neck into the
engine compartment (Fig. 5). Within the engine com-
partment, the front washer hose is routed side by
side with the engine compartment rear washer hose
along the top of the right front fender wheel house to
the dash panel. Molded plastic routing clips secure
the hoses to the headlamp and dash wire harness in
the engine compartment (Fig. 6).
The front washer hose is connected in the engine
compartment to the barbed nipple of a molded plastic
in-line fitting installed through a rubber grommet in
a hole in the right side of the dash plenum panel.
The barbed nipple of the in-line fitting protrudes
through the other side of the rubber grommet into
the cowl plenum area, where the cowl plenum
washer hose joins the front washer hose to the frontcheck valve/wye fitting. The cowl plenum washer
hose is routed through integral routing clips on the
underside of the cowl plenum cover/grille panel to the
molded plastic wye fitting. The cowl plenum washer
hose is connected to one nipple on the wye fitting and
the two washer nozzle hoses are connected to the
other two wye fitting nipples. The washer nozzle
hoses are then routed along the underside of the cowl
plenum cover/grille panel to the two front washer
nozzles.
Washer hose is available for service only as roll
stock, which must then be cut to length. The molded
plastic washer hose fittings cannot be repaired. If
these fittings are faulty or damaged, they must be
replaced.
OPERATION
Washer fluid in the washer reservoir is pressurized
and fed by the washer pump/motor through the front
washer system plumbing and fittings to the two front
washer nozzles. Whenever routing the washer hose
or a wire harness containing a washer hose, it must
be routed away from hot, sharp, or moving parts;
and, sharp bends that might pinch the hose must be
avoided.

FRONT WASHER NOZZLE
DESCRIPTION
The two front washer nozzles have integral snap
features and an anti-rotation tab that secure them in
dedicated holes in the cowl plenum cover/grille panel
located near the base of the windshield (Fig. 7). The
domed upper surface of the washer nozzle is visible
on the top of the plenum cover/grille panel, and the
nozzle orifice is oriented towards the windshield
glass. The washer plumbing fittings for the washer
nozzles are concealed beneath the cowl plenum cover/
grille panel. These fluidic washer nozzles are con-
structed of molded plastic. The cowl plenum cover/
grille panel must be removed from the vehicle to
access the nozzles for service. The washer nozzles
cannot be adjusted or repaired. If faulty or damaged,
they must be replaced.
OPERATION
The two front washer nozzles are designed to dis-
pense washer fluid into the wiper pattern area on the
outside of the windshield glass. Pressurized washer
fluid is fed to each nozzle from the washer reservoir
by the washer pump/motor unit through a single
hose, which is attached to a barbed nipple on each
front washer nozzle below the cowl plenum cover/
grille panel. The washer nozzles incorporate a fluidic
design, which causes the nozzle to emit the pressur-
ized washer fluid as an oscillating stream to more
effectively cover a larger area of the glass area to be
cleaned.
REMOVAL
(1) Unlatch and open the hood.
(2) Remove both front wiper arms from the wiper
pivots. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/WIPERS/WASH-
ERS/FRONT WIPER ARM - REMOVAL).
(3) Remove the cowl plenum cover/grille panel
from over the cowl plenum. (Refer to 23 - BODY/EX-
TERIOR/COWL GRILLE - REMOVAL).
(4) From the underside of the cowl plenum cover/
grille panel, disconnect the washer nozzle hose from
the barbed nipple of the front washer nozzle (Fig. 8).

WASHER RESERVOIR
DESCRIPTION
A single washer fluid reservoir is used for both the
front and rear washer systems (Fig. 22). The molded
plastic washer fluid reservoir is mounted on the out-
board side of the right front frame rail in front of the
right front wheel, where it is concealed by the right
front wheel house splash shield. The only visible
component of the washer reservoir is the filler neck
and cap unit, which extends through a hole in the
right front wheel house extension panel into the
engine compartment. A bright yellow plastic filler cap
with an integral bail strap and filler neck mounting
bracket is labeled with an International Control and
Display Symbol icon for ªWindshield Washerº and the
text ªWasher Fluid Onlyº molded into it. The cap
snaps over the open end of the filler neck.
There is a dedicated hole on the outboard side of
the reservoir provided for the mounting of the
washer pump/motor unit, and another dedicated hole
on the rear of the reservoir for the washer fluid level
switch. A snap post receptacle molded into the reser-
voir allows for mounting of the washer pump without
the use of fasteners. The reservoir also features inte-
gral hose routing troughs on its outboard side and
integral routing clips along its top. The washer res-
ervoir is secured to the outboard side of the right
front frame rail by two screws and an integral
molded tab that engages in a slot in the right front
frame rail. Another screw secures the reservoir fillerneck to the upper radiator crossmember in the front
of the engine compartment. The right front fender
wheel house splash shield must be removed to access
the washer reservoir for service.
OPERATION
The washer fluid reservoir provides a secure,
on-vehicle storage location for a large reserve of
washer fluid for operation of the front and rear
washer systems. The washer reservoir filler neck pro-
vides a clearly marked and readily accessible point
from which to add washer fluid to the reservoir. The
washer/pump motor unit is located in a sump area
near the front of the reservoir to be certain that
washer fluid will be available to the pump as the
fluid level in the reservoir becomes depleted. The
washer pump/motor unit is mounted in the lowest
position in the sump. The washer fluid level switch is
mounted just above the sump area of the reservoir so
that there will be adequate warning to the vehicle
operator that the washer fluid level is low, before the
washer system will no longer operate.
REMOVAL
(1) Turn the front wheels full lock to the right.
(2) Unlatch and open the hood.
(3) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(4) Remove the air cleaner housing from the top of
the right front fender wheel house. (Refer to 9 -
