through the radiator. The thermostat uses a stub
shaft located at the rear of the thermostat to control
flow through the bypass gallery.
OPERATION - WATER PUMP
A centrifugal water pump circulates coolant
through the water jackets, passages, intake manifold,
radiator core, cooling system hoses and heater core,
this coolant absorbs the heat generated when the
engine is running. The pump is driven by the engine
crankshaft via a drive belt.
REMOVAL
The water pump on 3.7L engines is bolted directly
to the engine timing chain case cover.
(1) Disconnect negative battery cable from battery.
(2) Drain cooling system (Refer to 7 - COOLING -
STANDARD PROCEDURE).
(3) Remove fan/viscous fan drive assembly from
water pump (Fig. 18) (Refer to 7 - COOLING/EN-
GINE/FAN DRIVE VISCOUS CLUTCH - REMOV-
AL). Do not attempt to remove fan/viscous fan drive
assembly from vehicle at this time.
WARNING: CONSTANT TENSION HOSE CLAMPS
ARE USED ON MOST COOLING SYSTEM HOSES.
WHEN REMOVING OR INSTALLING, USE ONLY
TOOLS DESIGNED FOR SERVICING THIS TYPE OF
CLAMP, SUCH AS SPECIAL CLAMP TOOL (NUMBER
6094). SNAP-ON CLAMP TOOL (NUMBER HPC-20)MAY BE USED FOR LARGER CLAMPS. ALWAYS
WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WHEN SERVICING CON-
STANT TENSION CLAMPS.
CAUTION: A number or letter is stamped into the
tongue of constant tension clamps. If replacement
is necessary, use only an original equipment clamp
with matching number or letter.
(4) If water pump is being replaced, do not unbolt
fan blade assembly from thermal viscous fan drive.
(5) Remove two fan shroud-to-radiator screws, Dis-
connect the coolant overflow hose.
(6) Remove upper fan shroud and fan blade/viscous
fan drive assembly from vehicle.
(7) After removing fan blade/viscous fan drive
assembly,do notplace thermal viscous fan drive in
horizontal position. If stored horizontally, silicone
fluid in viscous fan drive could drain into its bearing
assembly and contaminate lubricant.
(8) Remove accessory drive belt (Fig. 19) (Refer to
7 - COOLING/ACCESSORY DRIVE/DRIVE BELTS -
REMOVAL).
(9) Remove lower radiator hose clamp and remove
lower hose at water pump.
(10) Remove seven water pump mounting bolts
and one stud bolt.

CAUTION: Do not pry water pump at timing chain
case/cover. The machined surfaces may be dam-
aged resulting in leaks.
(11) Remove water pump and gasket. Discard gas-
ket.
CLEANING
Clean the gasket mating surface. Use caution not
to damage the gasket sealing surface.
INSPECTION
Inspect the water pump assembly for cracks in the
housing, Water leaks from shaft seal, Loose or rough
turning bearing or Impeller rubbing either the pump
body or timing chain case/cover.
INSTALLATION
The water pump on 3.7L engines is bolted directly
to the engine timing chain case cover.
(1) Clean gasket mating surfaces.
(2) Using a new gasket, position water pump and
install mounting bolts as shown. (Fig. 20). Tighten
water pump mounting bolts to 54 N´m (40 ft. lbs.)
torque.
(3) Spin water pump to be sure that pump impel-
ler does not rub against timing chain case/cover.
(4) Connect radiator lower hose to water pump.
(5) Relax tension from belt tensioner. Install drive
belt (Refer to 7 - COOLING/ACCESSORY DRIVE/
DRIVE BELTS - INSTALLATION).CAUTION: When installing the serpentine accessory
drive belt, belt must be routed correctly. If not,
engine may overheat due to water pump rotating in
wrong direction. Refer to (Fig. 21) for correct belt
routing. Or, refer to the Belt Routing Label located
in the engine compartment. The correct belt with
correct length must be used.
(6) Position upper fan shroud and fan blade/vis-
cous fan drive assembly.
(7) Be sure the upper and lower portions of the fan
shroud are firmly connected. All air must flow
through the radiator.
(8) Install two fan shroud-to-radiator screws.
(9) Be sure of at least 25 mm (1.0 inches) between
tips of fan blades and fan shroud.
(10) Install fan blade/viscous fan drive assembly to
water pump shaft (Refer to 7 - COOLING/ENGINE/
FAN DRIVE VISCOUS CLUTCH - INSTALLATION).
(11) Fill cooling system (Refer to 7 - COOLING -
STANDARD PROCEDURE).
(12) Connect negative battery cable.
(13) Start and warm the engine. Check for leaks.

OR INSTRUMENT PANEL COMPONENT DIAGNOSIS
OR SERVICE. DISCONNECT AND ISOLATE THE
BATTERY NEGATIVE (GROUND) CABLE, THEN
WAIT TWO MINUTES FOR THE SYSTEM CAPACI-
TOR TO DISCHARGE BEFORE PERFORMING FUR-
THER DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE. THIS IS THE ONLY
SURE WAY TO DISABLE THE SUPPLEMENTAL

PROPER PRECAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN ACCI-
DENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE
PERSONAL INJURY.
(1) Position the Sentry Key Immobilizer Module
(SKIM) to the right side of the steering column (Fig.
11). Lift the multi-function switch upward off of the
upper steering column housing far enough to insert
the SKIM antenna ring formation between the igni-
tion key release button and the multi-function switch
housing.
(2) Slide the SKIM antenna ring around the igni-
tion switch lock cylinder housing, then rotate the
SKIM and its mounting bracket upwards and toward
the steering column.
(3) Align the SKIM mounting bracket clip forma-
tion with the right lower flange of the steering col-
umn jacket and, using hand pressure, push upward
firmly and evenly on the connector end of the SKIM
mounting bracket to engage this clip with the steer-
ing column jacket.
(4) Reconnect the instrument panel wire harness
connector for the SKIM to the module connector
receptacle.
(5) Position both the upper and lower shrouds onto
the steering column.
(6) Align the snap features on the lower shroud
with the receptacles on the upper shroud and apply
hand pressure to snap them together.
(7) From below the steering column, install and
tighten the two screws that secure the lower shroud
to the upper shroud. Tighten the screws to 2 N´m (18
in. lbs.).
(8) If the vehicle is equipped with the optional tilt
steering column, move the tilt steering column to the
fully raised position and secure it in place by moving
the tilt release lever back to the locked (up) position.
(9) Reconnect the battery negative cable.NOTE: If the SKIM has been replaced with a new
unit, the Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS)
MUST be initialized before the vehicle can be oper-
ated. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/VEHICLE THEFT
SECURITY - STANDARD PROCEDURE - SKIS INI-
TIALIZATION).
TRANSMISSION CONTROL
MODULE
DESCRIPTION
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) is located
in the engine compartment on the right (passenger)
side and is mounted to the inner fender (Fig. 12).
OPERATION
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) is the
controlling unit for all electronic operations of the
transmission. The TCM receives information regard-
ing vehicle operation from both direct and indirect
inputs, and selects the operational mode of the trans-
mission. Direct inputs are hardwired to, and used
specifically by the TCM. Indirect inputs originate
from other components/modules, and are shared with
the TCM via the vehicle communication bus.
Some examples ofdirect inputsto the TCM are:
²Battery (B+) voltage
²Ignition ªONº voltage
²Transmission Control Relay (Switched B+)
²Throttle Position Sensor
²Crankshaft Position Sensor
²Transmission Range Sensor
²Pressure Switches
²Transmission Temperature Sensor
²Input Shaft Speed Sensor
