grommets. These rubber grommets are pressed into
the radiator lower crossmember.
WARNING: THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM (IF
EQUIPPED) IS UNDER A CONSTANT PRESSURE
EVEN WITH THE ENGINE OFF. REFER TO REFRIG-
ERANT WARNINGS IN, HEATING AND AIR CONDI-
TIONING BEFORE HANDLING ANY AIR
CONDITIONING COMPONENT.
NOTE: The radiator and radiator cooling fan can be
removed as an assembly. It is not necessary to
remove the cooling fan before removing or install-
ing the radiator.
(12) Gently lift up and remove radiator from vehi-
cle. Be careful not to scrape the radiator fins against
any other component. Also be careful not to disturb
the air conditioning condenser (if equipped).CLEANING
Clean radiator fins With the engine cold, apply cold
water and compressed air to the back (engine side) of
the radiator to flush the radiator and/or A/C con-
denser of debris.
INSPECTION
The radiator cooling fins should be checked for
damage or deterioration. Inspect cooling fins to make
sure they are not bent or crushed, these areas result
in reduced heat exchange causing the cooling system
to operate at higher temperatures. Inspect the plastic
end tanks for cracks, damage or leaks.
Inspect the radiator neck for damage or distortion.
INSTALLATION
CAUTION: Before installing the radiator or A/C con-
denser, be sure the radiator-to-body and radiator-to-
A/C condenser rubber air seals are properly
fastened to their original positions. These are used
at the top, bottom and sides of the radiator and A/C
condenser. To prevent overheating, these seals
must be installed to their original positions.

RADIATOR PRESSURE CAP
DESCRIPTION
The cooling system cap is located on the coolant
pressure bottle. The cap construction includes; stain-
less steel swivel top, rubber seals and retainer, main
spring, and a spring loaded valve (Fig. 9).
OPERATION
The pressure cap allows the cooling system to oper-
ate at higher than atmospheric pressure which raises
the coolant boiling point, thus allowing increased
radiator cooling capacity. The pressure cap releases
pressure at some point within a range of 110 kPa
14 kPa (16 psi 2 psi).
A spring-loaded vent valve in the center of the cap
allows the system to pressurize and depressurize
without creating a vacuum. If the valve is stuck
open, coolant will escape to the overflow hose. There
is also a gasket in the cap to seal to the top of the
filler neck.
CAUTION: Use only the pressure cap specified for
this vehicle. Use of other pressure caps can lead to
coolant loss and overheating.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - RADIATOR
PRESSURE CAP
Remove cap from radiator. Be sure that sealing
surfaces are clean. Moisten rubber gasket with water
and install the cap on pressure tester (tool 7700 or
an equivalent) (Fig. 10).Operate the tester pump and observe the gauge
pointer at its highest point. The cap release pressure
should be 124 to 145 kPa (18 to 21 psi). The cap is
satisfactory when the pressure holds steady. It is also
good if it holds pressure within the 124 to 145 kPa
(18 to 21 psi) range for 30 seconds or more. If the
pointer drops quickly, replace the cap.
CAUTION: Radiator pressure testing tools are very
sensitive to small air leaks, which will not cause
cooling system problems. A pressure cap that does
not have a history of coolant loss should not be
replaced just because it leaks slowly when tested
with this tool. Add water to tool. Turn tool upside
down and recheck pressure cap to confirm that cap
needs replacement.
CLEANING
Clean the radiator pressure cap using a mild soap
and water only.
INSPECTION
Visually inspect the pressure valve gasket on the
cap. Replace cap if the gasket is swollen, torn or
worn. Inspect the area around radiator filler neck for
white deposits that indicate a leaking cap.

RADIATOR FAN - ELECTRIC
DESCRIPTION
The fan (Fig. 11) is electrically controlled by the
powertrain control module (PCM) through the fan
control relay. This relay is located on the left wheel
house in the engine compartment.
OPERATION
The electric radiator cooling fan is controlled by
the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) through the
radiator cooling fan relay. The PCM regulates fan
operation based on input from the engine coolant
temperature sensor, battery temperature sensor,air
conditioning select switch and vehicle speed.
The fan is not energized during engine cranking
regardless of the electrical input from the tempera-
ture sensors and ,air conditioning switch. However, if
engine operation conditions warrant fan engagement,
the fan will run once engine starts.
On vehicles NOT equipped with AC:The relay
is energized when the coolant temperature is above
80É C (176É F), or battery temperature sensor above ±
12É C (10É F). It will then de-energize when coolant
temperature drops below 82É C (180É F), or batter
temperature sensor below ± 9É C ( 16É F).
Vehicles Equipped with AC:In addition to using
coolant temperature and battery temperature sensorto control cooling fan operation, the cooling fan will
also be engaged when the ,air conditioning system is
activated. The relay is also energized when, air con-
ditioning is selected and coolant temperature is
above 95É C ( 203É F), or , air conditioning is selected
and battery temperature sensor is above 41É C (106É
F). It will then de-energize when , air conditioning is
selected and coolant temperature is below 92É C
(198É F), or , air conditioning is selected and battery
temperature is below 38É C (100É F).
REMOVAL
If the fan blade is bent, warped, cracked or dam-
aged in any way, it must be replacedonlywith a
replacement fan blade.Do not attempt to repair a
damaged fan blade.

TRANS COOLER
DESCRIPTION
An internal high capacity/high efficiency cooler is
used on all vehicles, these coolers are an oil-to-cool-
ant type, which consists of plates mounted in the
radiator outlet tank.Because the internal oil cooler is
so efficient, no auxiliary oil cooler is offered. The
cooler is not serviceable separately from the radiator.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - FLUSHING
COOLERS AND TUBES
When a transmission failure has contaminated the
fluid, the oil cooler(s) must be flushed. The torque
converter must also be replaced. This will insure that
metal particles or sludged oil are not later trans-
ferred back into the reconditioned (or replaced) trans-
mission.
The only recommended procedure for flushing cool-
ers and lines is to use Tool 6906-B Cooler Flusher.
WARNING: WEAR PROTECTIVE EYEWEAR THAT
MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS OF OSHA AND ANSI
Z87.1±1968. WEAR STANDARD INDUSTRIAL RUB-
BER GLOVES. KEEP LIGHTED CIGARETTES,
SPARKS, FLAMES, AND OTHER IGNITION
SOURCES AWAY FROM THE AREA TO PREVENT
THE IGNITION OF COMBUSTIBLE LIQUIDS AND
GASES. KEEP A CLASS (B) FIRE EXTINGUISHER IN
THE AREA WHERE THE FLUSHER WILL BE USED.
KEEP THE AREA WELL VENTILATED.DO NOT LET
FLUSHING SOLVENT COME IN CONTACT WITH
YOUR EYES OR SKIN: IF EYE CONTAMINATION
OCCURS, FLUSH EYES WITH WATER FOR 15 TO 20
SECONDS. REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING
AND WASH AFFECTED SKIN WITH SOAP AND
WATER. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.
(1) Remove cover plate filler plug on Tool 6906-B.
Fill reservoir 1/2 to 3/4 full of fresh flushing solution.
Flushing solvents are petroleum based solutions gen-
erally used to clean automatic transmission compo-
nents.DO NOTuse solvents containing acids, water,
gasoline, or any other corrosive liquids.(2) Reinstall filler plug on Tool 6906-B.
(3) Verify pump power switch is turned OFF. Con-
nect red alligator clip to positive (+) battery post.
Connect black (-) alligator clip to a good ground.
(4) Disconnect the cooler lines at the transmission.
NOTE: When flushing transmission cooler and
lines, ALWAYS reverse flush.
NOTE: The converter drainback valve must be
removed and an appropriate replacement hose
installed to bridge the space between the transmis-
sion cooler line and the cooler fitting. Failure to
remove the drainback valve will prevent reverse
flushing the system. A suitable replacement hose
can be found in the adapter kit supplied with the
flushing tool.
(5) Connect the BLUE pressure line to the OUT-
LET (From) cooler line.
(6) Connect the CLEAR return line to the INLET
(To) cooler line
(7) Turn pump ON for two to three minutes to
flush cooler(s) and lines.
(8) Turn pump OFF.
(9) Disconnect CLEAR suction line from reservoir
at cover plate. Disconnect CLEAR return line at
cover plate, and place it in a drain pan.
(10) Turn pump ON for 30 seconds to purge flush-
ing solution from cooler and lines. Turn pump OFF.
(11) Place CLEAR suction line into a one quart
container of MopartATF +4, type 9602, Automatic
Transmission Fluid.
(12) Turn pump ON until all transmission fluid is
removed from the one quart container and lines. This
purges any residual cleaning solvent from the trans-
mission cooler and lines. Turn pump OFF.
(13) Disconnect alligator clips from battery. Recon-
nect flusher lines to cover plate, and remove flushing
adapters from cooler lines.

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.
