2002 JEEP LIBERTY charging

exterior lighting systems requires the use of a
DRBIIItscan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnos-
tic information.
When diagnosing the exterior lighting circuits,
remember that high generator output can burn out
bulbs rapidly and repeatedly; and, that dim or flick-
ering bulbs can be caused by low generator output or
poor battery condition. If one of these symptoms is a
problem on the vehicle being diagnosed, be certain to
diagnose and repair the battery and charging system
as required. Also keep in mind that a good ground is
necessary for proper lighting operation. If a lighting
problem is being diagnosed that involves multiple
symptoms, systems, or components the problem can
often be traced to a loose, corroded, or open ground.
For complete circuit diagrams, refer to the appropri-
ate 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 andlocation views for the various wire harness connec-
tors, splices and grounds.

the engine compartment, on the front extension of
the right front wheel house panel below and behind
the right headlamp. This unit is designed to provide
the audible alert requirements for the ROW premium
VTA.
The alarm siren module consists of microprocessor-
based electronic control circuitry, the siren, and a
nickel metal hydride backup battery. All of the alarm
module components are protected and sealed within
a black molded plastic housing. A stamped steel
mounting bracket is secured to the module with
three stud plates and nuts that fit into slotted holes
at the top and each side of the bracket. The front
surface of the bracket features a tightly grouped
series of small holes that serves as an outlet for the
audible output of the alarm siren. The bottom of the
mounting bracket is bent at a right angle and has an
integral locating tab feature. Two mounting holes in
the horizontal surface of the bracket are used to
secure the alarm siren module to the wheel house
extension with two screws. An integral connector
receptacle extends forward from the upper left corner
of the alarm siren housing, and connects the unit to
the vehicle electrical system through a dedicated
take out and connector of the headlamp and dash
wire harness.
The alarm siren module cannot be repaired or
adjusted and, if faulty or damaged, it must be
replaced.
OPERATION
The microprocessor within the alarm siren module
performs the tasks required to provide the siren unit
features and functions based upon internal program-
ming and electronic arm and disarm message inputs
received from the Intrusion Transceiver Module
(ITM) over a dedicated serial bus communication cir-
cuit. The alarm siren module will self-detect prob-
lems with its internal and external power supply and
communication circuits, then send electronic mes-
sages indicating the problem to the ITM upon receiv-
ing a request from the ITM. The ITM will store a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for a detected alarm
siren module fault that can be retrieved with the
DRBIIItscan tool over the Programmable Communi-
cations Interface (PCI) data bus network through the
16-way data link connector located on the driver side
lower edge of the instrument panel.
When the Rest-Of-World (ROW) premium version
of the Vehicle Theft Alarm (VTA) is armed, the alarm
siren module microprocessor continuously monitors
inputs from the ITM for messages to sound its inter-
nal siren and enters its auto-detect mode. While in
the auto-detect mode, if the alarm siren module
detects that its power supply or communication cir-
cuits are being tampered with or have been sabo-taged, it will sound an alarm and continue to operate
through its on-board backup battery. If the arm siren
module is in its disarmed mode when its power sup-
ply or communication circuits are interrupted, the
siren will not sound. The alarm module will also
notify the ITM when the backup battery requires
charging, and the ITM will send a message that will
allow the backup battery to be charged through the
battery current and ground circuits to the alarm
module only when the ignition switch is in the On
position and the engine is running. This will prevent
the charging of the alarm backup battery from
depleting the charge in the main vehicle battery
while the vehicle is not being operated.
The alarm siren module receives battery current
on a fused B(+) circuit through a fuse in the Power
Distribution Center (PDC), and receives ground
through a ground circuit and take out of the head-
lamp and dash wire harness. This ground take out
has a single eyelet terminal connector that is secured
by a ground screw to the left inner fender shield in
the engine compartment. These connections allow the
alarm siren module to remain operational, regardless
of the ignition switch position. The hard wired inputs
and outputs for the alarm siren module may be diag-
nosed and tested using conventional diagnostic tools
and procedures. However, conventional diagnostic
methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of
the internal circuitry or the backup battery of the
alarm siren module, the ITM, the serial bus commu-
nication line, or the electronic message inputs to and
outputs from the alarm siren module. The most reli-
able, efficient, and accurate means to diagnose the
alarm siren module, the ITM, the serial bus commu-
nication line, and the electronic message inputs to
and outputs from the alarm siren module requires
the use of a DRBIIItscan tool. Refer to the appro-
priate diagnostic information.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Disconnect the headlamp and dash wire har-
ness connector for the alarm siren module from the
module connector receptacle (Fig. 14).
(3) Remove the two screws that secure the alarm
siren module to the front extension of the right front
wheel house panel.
(4) Remove the alarm siren module from the front
extension of the right front wheel house panel.
INSTALLATION
(1) Position the alarm siren module onto the front
extension of the right front wheel house panel (Fig.
14).

DESCRIPTION - SECTION IDENTIFICATION AND
INFORMATION
The wiring diagrams are grouped into individual
sections. If a component is most likely found in a par-
ticular group, it will be shown complete (all wires,
connectors, and pins) within that group. For exam-
ple, the Auto Shutdown Relay is most likely to be
found in Group 30, so it is shown there complete. It
can, however, be shown partially in another group if
it contains some associated wiring.
Splice diagrams in Section 8W-70 show the entire
splice and provide references to other sections the
splices serves. Section 8W-70 only contains splice dia-
grams that are not shown in their entirety some-
where else in the wiring diagrams.
Section 8W-80 shows each connector and the cir-
cuits involved with that connector. The connectors
are identified using the name/number on the dia-
gram pages.

before attempting a repair.
IDENTIFICATION
In-line connectors are identified by a number, as
follows:
²In-line connectors located in the engine compart-
ment are C100 series numbers
²In-line connectors located in the Instrument
Panel area are C200 series numbers.
²In-line connectors located in the body are C300
series numbers.
²Jumper harness connectors are C400 series
numbers.
²Grounds and ground connectors are identified
with a ªGº and follow the same series numbering as
the in-line connectors.
²Splices are identified with an ªSº and follow the
same series numbering as the in-line connectors.
²Component connectors are identified by the com-
ponent name instead of a number. Multiple connec-
tors on a component use a C1, C2, etc. identifier.
LOCATIONS
Section 8W-91 contains connector/ground/splice
location illustrations. The illustrations contain the
connector name (or number)/ground number/splice
