2002 JEEP LIBERTY Body control module

OPERATION
The rear fog lamp relay is an electromechanical
switch that uses a low current input from the Body
Control Module (BCM) to control a high current out-
put to the rear fog lamps. The movable common feed
contact point is held against the fixed normally
closed contact point by spring pressure. When the
relay coil is energized, an electromagnetic field is
produced by the coil windings. This electromagnetic
field draws the movable relay contact point away
from the fixed normally closed contact point, and
holds it against the fixed normally open contact
point. When the relay coil is de-energized, spring
pressure returns the movable contact point back
against the fixed normally closed contact point. A
resistor is connected in parallel with the relay coil in
the relay, and helps to dissipate voltage spikes and
electromagnetic interference that can be generated as
the electromagnetic field of the relay coil collapses.
The rear fog lamp relay terminals are connected to
the vehicle electrical system through a connector
receptacle in the Junction Block (JB). The inputs and
outputs of the rear fog lamp relay include:
²Common Feed Terminal- The common feed
terminal (30) receives battery current at all times
from a fuse in the JB through a fused B(+) circuit.
²Coil Ground Terminal- The coil ground termi-
nal (85) is connected to a control output of the pre-
mium Body Control Module (BCM) through a rear
fog lamp relay control circuit. The BCM controls rear
fog lamp operation by controlling a ground path
through this circuit.
²Coil Battery Terminal- The coil battery ter-
minal (86) receives battery current at all times from
a fuse in the JB through a fused B(+) circuit.
²Normally Open Terminal- The normally open
terminal (87) is connected to the rear fog lamps
through a rear fog lamp relay output circuit and pro-
vides battery current to the rear fog lamps whenever
the relay is energized.
²Normally Closed Terminal- The normally
closed terminal (87A) is not connected in this appli-
cation.
The rear fog lamp relay can be diagnosed using
conventional diagnostic tools and methods.

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
KJLAMPS/LIGHTING - INTERIOR 8L - 67
LAMPS/LIGHTING - INTERIOR (Continued)

path to the switches using another internal driver
through the courtesy lamp load shed circuit. The
BCM provides a battery saver (load shedding) feature
for all courtesy lamps, which will automatically turn
these lamps off if they are left on for more than
about eight minutes with the ignition switch in the
Off position.
PANEL LAMPS DIMMER CIRCUIT The panel
lamps dimmer circuit includes the ElectroMechanical
Instrument Cluster (EMIC), heater-air conditioner
control, hazard switch and, depending upon the
selected vehicle options, ash receiver, and automatic
transmission range indicator illumination lamps. All
lamps in the panel lamps dimmer circuit are pro-
vided a path to ground at all times through a hard
wired ground circuit. These lamps illuminate based
upon inputs to the Body Control Module (BCM) from
the exterior lighting control knob and the interior
lighting control ring on the left (lighting) control
stalk of the multi-function switch. The control knob
on the left control stalk of the multi-function switch
selects the exterior lights, while the control ring
selects the panel lamps intensity (dimming) level.
When the exterior lighting is turned On, the BCM
energizes the park lamp relay and provides an elec-
tronic dimming level message to the ElectroMechani-
cal Instrument Cluster (EMIC), the radio, and the
Compass Mini-Trip Computer (CMTC) over the Pro-
grammable Communications Interface (PCI) data
bus. The energized park lamp relay provides a hard
wired battery current signal input to the EMIC on
the park lamp relay output circuit. The EMIC
responds to these inputs by supplying a 12-volt Pulse
Width Modulated (PWM) output to all of the incan-
descent lamps in the panel lamps dimmer circuit
over the fused panel lamps dimmer switch signal cir-
cuit. This shared PWM output synchronizes the
selected illumination intensity level of all of the
incandescent lamps in the panel lamps dimmer cir-
cuit.
The EMIC and the radio each use the electronic
dimming level message from the BCM to control and
synchronize the illumination intensity of their own
Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD), while the CMTC
uses the dimming level message to control the illumi-
nation intensity of both its VFD and its incandescent
lighting. In addition, when the control ring on the
left (lighting) control stalk of the multi-function
switch is moved to the Parade Mode detent position,
all of the VFDs are illuminated at their full intensity
levels for increased visibility when the vehicle is
driven during daylight hours with the exterior lights
turned On.DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - LAMPS/LIGHTING
- INTERIOR
The hard wired circuits and components of the
interior lighting system may be diagnosed and tested
using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures.
However, conventional diagnostic methods may not
prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the Body Control
Module (BCM), the ElectroMechanical Instrument
Cluster (EMIC), or the Programmable Communica-
tions 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 systems requires the use of a DRBIIItscan
tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
When diagnosing the interior 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 and
location views for the various wire harness connec-
tors, splices and grounds.

DOOR AJAR SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
This vehicle has four door ajar switches, one for
each door. Each switch is concealed within and inte-
gral to its respective door latch unit. The switches
are momentary leaf contact-type units that are actu-
ated by the door latch mechanisms. A short pigtail
wire and connector on each door latch connects the
door ajar switch to the vehicle electrical system
through its respective door wire harness. The door
ajar switches cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if
faulty or damaged, the door latch unit must be
replaced. (Refer to 23 - BODY/DOOR - FRONT/
LATCH - REMOVAL) or (Refer to 23 - BODY/DOOR -
REAR/LATCH - REMOVAL).
OPERATION
The door ajar switches are actuated by the door
latch mechanisms. When a door is closed and prop-
erly latched, its door ajar switch is an open circuit.
When a door is open or only partially latched, the
door ajar switch is a closed circuit. The door ajar
switches are hard wired between a body ground and
the Body Control Module (BCM). The driver side
front door ajar switch is connected to the BCM
through a driver door ajar switch sense circuit, while
the remaining three door ajar switches are connected
to the BCM through a passenger door ajar switch
sense circuit in a parallel-series arrangement. The
BCM reads the door ajar switch status through an
internal pull-up, then uses these inputs to control
many electronic functions and features of the vehicle.
The door ajar switches can be diagnosed using con-
ventional diagnostic tools and methods; however, for
proper diagnosis of the BCM, and both the hard
wired and electronic BCM outputs affected by the
door ajar switch inputs, a DRBIIItscan tool is
required. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic infor-
mation.
FLIP-UP GLASS AJAR SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
A flip-up glass ajar switch is standard equipment
in this vehicle. This switch is concealed within and
integral to the flip-up glass latch unit. The switch is
a momentary leaf contact-type unit that is actuated
by the flip-up glass latch mechanism. A dedicated
connector receptacle on the flip-up glass latch unit
connects the flip-up glass ajar switch to the vehicle
electrical system through the tailgate wire harness.
The flip-up glass ajar switch cannot be adjusted or
repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the flip-up glass
latch unit must be replaced. (Refer to 23 - BODY/
SWING GATE/FLIP-UP GLASS LATCH - REMOV-
AL).
OPERATION
The flip-up glass ajar switch is actuated by the
flip-up glass latch mechanism. When the flip-up glass
is closed and properly latched, the flip-up glass ajar
switch is an open circuit. When the flip-up glass is
open or only partially latched, the flip-up glass ajar
switch is a closed circuit. The flip-up glass ajar
switch is hard wired between a body ground, the
Body Control Module (BCM), and the rear wiper
motor. The output of the switch is connected to the
BCM and rear wiper motor through a flip-up glass
ajar switch sense circuit. The BCM reads the flip-up
glass ajar switch status through an internal pull-up,
then uses this input to control many electronic func-

DESCRIPTION
A tailgate ajar switch is standard equipment in
this vehicle. This switch is concealed within and inte-
gral to the tailgate latch unit. The switch is a
momentary leaf contact-type unit that is actuated by
the tailgate latch mechanism. A pigtail wire harness
and connector on the tailgate latch unit connects the
tailgate ajar switch to the vehicle electrical system
through the tailgate wire harness. The tailgate ajar
switch cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if faulty
or damaged, the tailgate latch unit must be replaced.
(Refer to 23 - BODY/SWING GATE/LATCH -
REMOVAL).
OPERATION
The tailgate switch is actuated by the tailgate
latch mechanism. When the tailgate is closed and
properly latched, the tailgate ajar switch is an open
circuit. When the tailgate is open or only partially
latched, the tailgate ajar switch is a closed circuit.
The tailgate ajar switch is hard wired between a
body ground and the Body Control Module (BCM).
The output of the switch is connected to the BCM
through a tailgate ajar switch sense circuit. The
BCM reads the tailgate ajar switch status through
an internal pull-up, then uses this input to control
many electronic functions and features of the vehicle.
The tailgate ajar switch can be diagnosed using con-
ventional diagnostic tools and methods; however, for
proper diagnosis of the BCM, and both the hard
