2002 JEEP LIBERTY service indicator

ergize the combination flasher, the horn relay (except
vehicles with the Rest-Of-World or ROW premium
version of the VTA), and the security indicator. In
addition, in vehicles built for certain markets where
the ROW premium version of the VTA is required,
the BCM also exchanges electronic messages with
the Intrusion Transceiver Module (ITM) over the Pro-
grammable Communications Interface (PCI) data bus
network to provide the features found in this version
of the VTA.
The hard wired circuits and components of the
VTA may be diagnosed and tested using conventional
diagnostic tools and procedures. However, conven-
tional diagnostic methods may not prove conclusive
in the diagnosis of the Body Control Module (BCM),
the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC),
the Intrusion Transceiver Module (ITM), or the Pro-
grammable Communications Interface (PCI) data bus
network. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate
means to diagnose the BCM, the EMIC, the ITM,
and the PCI data bus network inputs and outputs
related to the VTA requires the use of a DRBIIIt
scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic infor-
mation. Following are paragraphs that briefly
describe the operation of each of the VTA features.
See the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for
more information on the features, use and operation
of the VTA.
²ENABLING- The BCM must have the VTA
function electronically enabled in order for the VTA
to perform as designed. The logic in the BCM keeps
its VTA function dormant until it is enabled using a
DRBIIItscan tool. The VTA function of the BCM is
enabled on vehicles equipped with the VTA option at
the factory, but a service replacement BCM must be
VTA-enabled by the dealer using a DRBIIItscan
tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
²PRE-ARMING- The VTA has a pre-arming
sequence. Pre-arming occurs when a door, the tail-
gate, or the flip-up glass is open when the vehicle is
locked using a power lock switch, or when the ªLockº
button on the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmit-
ter is depressed. The power lock switch will not ini-
tiate the pre-arming sequence if the key is in the
ignition switch. When the VTA is pre-armed, the
arming sequence is delayed until all of the doors, the
tailgate, and the flip-up glass are closed.
²ARMING- Passive arming of the VTA occurs
when the vehicle is exited with the key removed from
the ignition switch and the doors are locked while
they are open using the power lock switch (see Pre-
Arming). Active arming of the VTA occurs when the
ªLockº button on the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter is depressed to lock the vehicle after all
of the doors, the tailgate, and the flip-up glass are
closed. The VTA will not arm if the doors are lockedusing the key in a lock cylinder or using a mechani-
cal lock button. Once the VTA begins the passive or
active arming sequence, the security indicator in the
instrument cluster will flash rapidly for about six-
teen seconds. This indicates that the VTA arming
sequence is in progress. If the ignition switch is
turned to the On position, if a door is unlocked with
the power lock switch or the RKE transmitter, or if
the tailgate is unlocked by any means during the six-
teen second arming sequence, the security indicator
will stop flashing and the VTA arming sequence will
abort. On vehicles equipped with the hood ajar
switch, the VTA arming sequence will occur regard-
less of whether the hood is open or closed, but the
underhood area will not be protected unless the hood
is closed when the VTA arming sequence begins.
Also, if the status of the hood ajar switch changes
from open (hood closed) to closed (hood open) during
the sixteen second arming sequence, the security
indicator will stop flashing and the VTA arming
sequence will abort. Once the sixteen second arming
sequence is successfully completed, the security indi-
cator will flash at a slower rate, indicating that the
VTA is armed.
²DISARMING- For vehicles built for the North
American market, disarming of the VTA occurs when
the vehicle is unlocked using the key to unlock a door
or the tailgate. Disarming of the VTA for any market
also occurs when the vehicle is unlocked by depress-
ing the ªUnlockº button of the Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) transmitter, or by turning the ignition switch
to the On position using a valid Sentry Key Immobi-
lizer System (SKIS) key. Once the alarm has been
activated, any of these disarming methods will also
deactivate the alarm.
²POWER-UP MODE- When the armed VTA
senses that the battery has been disconnected and
reconnected, it enters its power-up mode. In the pow-
er-up mode the alarm system returns to the mode
that was last selected prior to the battery failure or
disconnect. If the VTA was armed prior to the battery
disconnect or failure, the technician or vehicle opera-
tor will have to actively or passively disarm the sys-
tem after the battery is reconnected. The power-up
mode will also apply if the battery goes dead while
the system is armed, and battery jump-starting is
then attempted. The VTA will remain armed until
the technician or vehicle operator has actively or pas-
sively disarmed the system. If the VTA is in the dis-
armed mode prior to a battery disconnect or failure,
it will remain disarmed after the battery is recon-
nected or replaced, or if jump-starting is attempted.
²ALARM- The VTA alarm output varies by the
version of the VTA with which the vehicle is
equipped. In all cases, the alarm provides both visual
and audible outputs; however, the time intervals of
8Q - 4 VEHICLE THEFT SECURITYKJ
VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY (Continued)

these outputs vary by the requirements of the mar-
ket for which the vehicle is manufactured. In all
cases, the visual output will be a flashing on and off
of the exterior lamps. For vehicles equipped with the
North American or the ROW base version of the
VTA, the audible output will be a pulsing of the horn.
For vehicles with the ROW premium version of the
VTA, the audible output will be a cycling of the
alarm siren. See the owner's manual in the vehicle
glove box for details of the alarm output require-
ments of the specific market for which the vehicle
was manufactured. The inputs that will trigger the
alarm include the door ajar switches, the tailgate
ajar switch, the flip-up glass ajar switch, and in vehi-
cles built for certain markets where they are
required, the hood ajar switch and the Intrusion
Transceiver Module (ITM).
²TAMPER ALERT- The VTA tamper alert fea-
ture will pulse the horn (or the alarm siren for the
ROW premium version of the VTA) three times upon
VTA disarming, if the alarm was triggered and has
since timed-out. This feature alerts the vehicle oper-
ator that the VTA alarm was activated while the
vehicle was unattended.
²INTRUSION ALARM- The intrusion alarm is
an exclusive feature of the ROW premium version of
the VTA, which is only available in certain markets
where it is required. When the VTA is armed, a
motion sensor in the Intrusion Transceiver Module
(ITM) monitors the interior of the vehicle for move-
ment. If motion is detected, the ITM sends an elec-
tronic message to the BCM over the PCI data bus to
invoke the visual alarm feature, and sends an elec-
tronic message to the alarm siren in the engine com-
partment over a dedicated serial bus to invoke the
audible alarm feature. The motion detect feature of
the ITM can be disabled by depressing the ªLockº
button on the RKE transmitter three times within
fifteen seconds during VTA arming, while the secu-
rity indicator is still flashing rapidly. The VTA pro-
vides a single short siren ªchirpº as an audible
confirmation that the motion detect disable request
has been received. The ITM must be electronically
enabled in order for the intrusion alarm to perform
as designed. The logic in the ITM keeps its intrusion
alarm function dormant until it is enabled using a
DRBIIItscan tool. The intrusion alarm function of
the ITM is enabled on vehicles equipped with thisoption at the factory, but a service replacement ITM
must be configured and enabled by the dealer using a
DRBIIItscan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnos-
tic information.
SENTRY KEY IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM The Sen-
try Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) is designed to
provide passive protection against unauthorized vehi-
cle use by disabling the engine after about two sec-
onds of running, whenever any method other than a
valid Sentry Key is used to start the vehicle. The
SKIS is considered a passive protection system
because it is always active when the ignition system
is energized and does not require any customer inter-
vention. The SKIS uses Radio Frequency (RF) com-
munication to obtain confirmation that the key in the
ignition switch is a valid key for operating the vehi-
cle. The microprocessor-based SKIS hardware and
software also use electronic messages to communi-
cate with other electronic modules in the vehicle over
the Programmable Communications Interface (PCI)
data bus. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC
CONTROL MODULES/COMMUNICATION - OPER-
ATION).
Pre-programmed Sentry Key transponders are pro-
vided with the vehicle from the factory. Each Sentry
Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM) will recognize a
maximum of eight Sentry Keys. If the customer
would like additional keys other than those provided
with the vehicle, they may be purchased from any
authorized dealer. These additional keys must be pro-
grammed to the SKIM in the vehicle in order for the
system to recognize them as valid keys. This can be
done by the dealer using a DRBIIItscan tool or, if
Customer Learn programming is an available SKIS
feature in the market where the vehicle was pur-
chased, the customer can program the additional
keys, as long as at least two valid Sentry Keys are
already available. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/VEHI-
CLE THEFT SECURITY - STANDARD PROCE-
DURE - TRANSPONDER PROGRAMMING).
The SKIS performs a self-test each time the igni-
tion switch is turned to the On position, and will
store fault information in the form of Diagnostic
Trouble Codes (DTC's) if a system malfunction is
detected. The SKIS can be diagnosed, and any stored
DTC's can be retrieved using a DRBIIItscan tool.
Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - VEHICLE THEFT
SECURITY SYSTEM
The Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS) is
divided into two basic subsystems: Vehicle Theft
Alarm (VTA) and Sentry Key Immobilizer System
(SKIS). Following are the recommended procedures
for diagnosis and testing of each of these two sub-
systems.

PROPER PRECAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN ACCI-
DENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE
PERSONAL INJURY.
VEHICLE THEFT ALARM
Models equipped with the Rest-Of-World (ROW)
premium version of the Vehicle Theft Alarm (VTA)
provide some preliminary diagnostic feedback by illu-minating the security indicator located in the Elec-
troMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC). If the
security indicator illuminates with the ignition
switch in the On position, it indicates that there is a
communication problem between the Intrusion
Transceiver Module (ITM) and the Body Control
Module (BCM), or between the ITM and the siren
module. The BCM will also turn on the security indi-
cator if it receives a message from the ITM indicating
that the ITM has stored a Diagnostic Trouble Code
(DTC) for a siren module fault.
The hard wired circuits and components of the
VTA may be diagnosed and tested using conventional
diagnostic tools and procedures. However, conven-
tional diagnostic methods may not prove conclusive
in the diagnosis of the Body Control Module (BCM),
the ElectroMechanical Instrument Cluster (EMIC),
the Intrusion Transceiver Module (ITM), or the Pro-
grammable Communications Interface (PCI) data bus
network. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate
means to diagnose the BCM, the EMIC, the ITM,
and the PCI data bus network inputs and outputs
related to the VTA requires the use of a DRBIIIt
scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic infor-
mation.
Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The
wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper
wire and connector repair procedures, further details
on wire harness routing and retention, as well as
pin-out and location views for the various wire har-
ness connectors, splices and grounds.

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.

serviced as an assembly. If the nut was removed
retorque nut to 5 N´m (44 in. lbs.).
(20) Remove the retaining bolt and the camshaft
drive gear.
CAUTION: Do not allow the engine to rotate. severe
damage to the valve train can occur.
CAUTION: Do not overlook the four smaller bolts at
the front of the cylinder head. Do not attempt to
remove the cylinder head without removing these
four bolts.
CAUTION: Do not hold or pry on the camshaft tar-
get wheel for any reason. A damaged target wheel
can result in a vehicle no start condition.
NOTE: The cylinder head is attached to the cylinder
block with twelve bolts.

(2) To determine if the secondary timing chains
are worn, rotate the engine clockwise until maximum
tensioner piston extension is obtained. Measure the
distance between the secondary timing chain ten-
sioner housing and the step ledge on the piston. The
measurement at point (A) must be less than 15mm
(.5906 inches).
(3) If the measurement exceeds the specification
the secondary timing chains are worn and require
replacement. Refer to Timing Chain and Sprockets in
this section for procedure.
SERVICE PROCEDURES
TIMING VERIFICATION
CAUTION: The 3.7L is a non free-wheeling design
engine. Therefore, correct engine timing is critical.
NOTE: Components referred to as left hand or right
hand are as viewed from the drivers position inside
the vehicle.
NOTE: The blue link plates on the chains and the
dots on the camshaft drive sprockets may not line
up during the timing verification procedure. The
blue link plates are lined up with the sprocket dots
only when re-timing the complete timing drive.
Once the timing drive is rotated blue link-to-dot
alignment is no longer valid.
Engine base timing can be verified by the following
procedure:
(1) Remove the cylinder head covers. Refer to the
procedure in this section.
(2) Using a mirror, locate the TDC arrow on the
front cover (Fig. 91). Rotate the crankshaft until the
mark on the crankshaft damper is aligned with the
TDC arrow on the front cover. The engine is now at
TDC.
(3) Note the location of the V6 mark stamped into
the camshaft drive gears. If the V6 mark on each
camshaft drive gear is at the twelve o'clock position,
the engine is at TDC on the exhaust stroke. If the V6
mark on each gear is at the six o'clock position, the
engine is at TDC on the compression stroke. (Fig. 95)
(4) If both of the camshaft drive gears are off in
the same or opposite directions, the primary chain or
both secondary chains are at fault. Refer to Timing
Chain and Sprockets procedure in this section.
(5) If only one of the camshaft drive gears is off
and the other is correct, the problem is confined to
one secondary chain. Refer to Single camshaft tim-
ing, in this procedure.(6) If both camshaft drive gear V6 marks are at
the twelve o'clock or the six o' clock position the
engine base timing is correct. Reinstall the cylinder
head covers.
COUNTER BALANCE SHAFT TIMING
(1) Ensure that the engine is at TDC with both
camshaft sprocket marks are in the 12 o'clock posi-
tion. (Fig. 94)
(2) Look down the left cylinder gear chain cavity.
The timing dot on the counter balance shaft drive
gear should be in the 6 o'clock position (Fig. 92).
TIMING - SINGLE CAMSHAFT
NOTE: to adjust the timing on one camshaft, pre-
form the following procedure.
(1) Using Chain Tensioner Wedge, Special Tool
8379, stabilize the secondary chain drive. For refer-
ence purposes, mark the chain-to-sprocket position.
(Fig. 93)
(2) Remove the camshaft drive gear retaining bolt.
(3) Carefully remove the camshaft drive gear from
the camshaft.
(4) Re-index the camshaft drive gear in the chain
until the V6 mark is at the same position as the V6
mark on the opposite camshaft drive gear.

METHOD 1 (RELOCATE WHEEL ON HUB)
(1) Drive vehicle a short distance to eliminate tire
flat spotting from a parked position.
(2) Check wheel bearings and adjust if adjustable
or replace if necessary.
(3) Check the wheel mounting surface.
(4) Relocate wheel on the mounting, two studs
over from the original position.
(5) Tighten wheel nuts until all are properly
torqued, to eliminate brake distortion.
(6) Check radial runout. If still excessive, mark
tire sidewall, wheel, and stud at point of maximum
runout and proceed to Method 2.
METHOD 2 (RELOCATE TIRE ON WHEEL)
NOTE: Rotating the tire on wheel is particularly
effective when there is runout in both tire and
wheel.
(1) Remove tire from wheel and mount wheel on
service dynamic balance machine.
(2) Check wheel radial runout (Fig. 2) and lateral
runout (Fig. 3).
²STEEL WHEELS: Radial runout 0.024 in., Lat-
eral runout 0.030 in. (average)
²ALUMINUM WHEELS: Radial runout 0.014 in.,
Lateral runout 0.020 in. (average)
(3) If point of greatest wheel lateral runout is near
original chalk mark, remount tire 180 degrees.
Recheck runout, (Refer to 22 - TIRES/WHEELS -
STANDARD PROCEDURE).
STANDARD PROCEDURE
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TIRE ROTATION
Tires on the front and rear operate at different
loads and perform different steering, driving, and
braking functions. For these reasons they wear at
unequal rates and tend to develop irregular wear
patterns. These effects can be reduced by rotating
the tires at regular intervals. The benefits of tire
rotation are:
²Increase tread life
²Maintain traction levels
²A smooth, quiet ride
The suggested method of tire rotation is (Fig. 4).
Other rotation methods can be used, but they will
not provide all the tire longevity benefits.
