2002 JEEP LIBERTY Wiring

FOREWORD
This manual is designed as a supplement to be used along with the 2002 Liberty service manual,
81-370-02060. It includes information related to the 2.4L gas engine installed in this vehicle by
DaimlerChrysler Corporation. For diagnosis or service procedures relating to other components or systems,
refer to the 2002 Liberty Service Manual.
The information contained in this service manual has been prepared for the professional automotive tech-
nician involved in daily repair operations. Information describing the operation and use of standard and
optional equipment is included in the Owner's Manual provided with the vehicle.
Information in this manual is divided into groups. These groups contain description, operation, diagnosis,
testing, adjustments, removal, installation, disassembly, and assembly procedures for the systems and compo-
nents. To assist in locating a group title page, use the Group Tab Locator on the following page. The solid bar
after the group title is aligned to a solid tab on the first page of each group. The first page of the group has
a contents section that lists major topics within the group. If you are not sure which Group contains the infor-
mation you need, look up the Component/System in the alphabetical index located in the rear of this manual.
A Service Manual Comment form is included at the rear of this manual. Use the form to provide
DaimlerChrysler Corporation with your comments and suggestions.
Tightening torques are provided as a specific value throughout this manual. This value represents the
midpoint of the acceptable engineering torque range for a given fastener application. These torque values are
intended for use in service assembly and installation procedures using the correct OEM fasteners. When
replacing fasteners, always use the same type (part number) fastener as removed.
DaimlerChrysler Corporation reserves the right to change testing procedures, specifications, diagnosis,
repair methods, or vehicle wiring at any time without prior notice or incurring obligation.

HCU (HYDRAULIC CONTROL
UNIT)
DESCRIPTION
The HCU consists of a valve body, pump motor,
and wire harness.
OPERATION
Accumulators in the valve body store extra fluid
released to the system for ABS mode operation. The
pump provides the fluid volume needed and is oper-
ated by a DC type motor. The motor is controlled by
the CAB.The valves modulate brake pressure during
antilock braking and are controlled by the CAB.
The HCU provides three channel pressure control
to the front and rear brakes. One channel controls
the rear wheel brakes in tandem. The two remaining
channels control the front wheel brakes individually.
During antilock braking, the solenoid valves are
opened and closed as needed. The valves are not
static. They are cycled rapidly and continuously to
modulate pressure and control wheel slip and decel-
eration.
During normal braking, the HCU solenoid valves
and pump are not activated. The master cylinder and
power booster operate the same as a vehicle without
an ABS brake system.
During antilock braking, solenoid valve pressure
modulation occurs in three stages, pressure increase,
pressure hold, and pressure decrease. The valves are
all contained in the valve body portion of the HCU.
PRESSURE DECREASE
The outlet valve is opened and the inlet valve is
closed during the pressure decrease cycle.
A pressure decrease cycle is initiated when speed
sensor signals indicate high wheel slip at one or
more wheels. At this point, the CAB closes the inlet
then opens the outlet valve, which also opens the
return circuit to the accumulators. Fluid pressure is
allowed to bleed off (decrease) as needed to prevent
wheel lock.
Once the period of high wheel slip has ended, the
CAB closes the outlet valve and begins a pressure
increase or hold cycle as needed.
PRESSURE HOLD
Both solenoid valves are closed in the pressure
hold cycle. Fluid apply pressure in the control chan-
nel is maintained at a constant rate. The CAB main-
tains the hold cycle until sensor inputs indicate a
pressure change is necessary.
PRESSURE INCREASE
The inlet valve is open and the outlet valve is
closed during the pressure increase cycle. The pres-
sure increase cycle is used to counteract unequal
wheel speeds. This cycle controls re-application of
fluid apply pressure due to changing road surfaces or
wheel speed.

CLUTCH PEDAL POSITION
SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The clutch pedal position switch is located under
the instrument panel. It is attached to the clutch
master cylinder push rod (Fig. 10). The wiring har-
ness connection for the switch is made in the engine
compartment (Fig. 10).
The clutch pedal position switch override relay is
located in the Power Distribution Center (PDC).
Refer to PDC cover label for location within PDC.
OPERATION
The clutch pedal position switch is used to prevent
starter motor engagement unless the clutch pedal is
depressed.
4WD Feature:The clutch pedal position switch
override relay will inhibit operation of the position
switch when the vehicle transfer case is in the four±
wheel±drive (4WD) low-range position (only). This
feature will allow operation of the starter motor,
without the need for depressing the clutch pedal, for
certain off-road applications. If any Diagnostic Trou-
ble Codes (DTC's) for either the override relay or
transfer case switch are stored, the override relay
feature will be inhibited.
An input from this switch is also used to either
shut down and/or prevent operation of the speed con-
trol system when the clutch pedal is depressed.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - CLUTCH PEDAL
POSITION SWITCH
(1) Locate switch 2±wire electrical connector in
engine compartment (Fig. 10). Disconnect wiring at
this point.
(2) Check for switch continuity with an ohmmeter
while operating clutch pedal up and down. Continu-ity should be broken and reapplied each time pedal is
pressed.
(3) If continuity is not present, or is always
present at any pedal position, replace switch. Switch
is not serviced separately. Replace clutch master
cylinder.

DESCRIPTION
An audio system is standard factory-installed
equipment on this model. Several combinations of
radio receivers and speaker systems are offered on
this model. The audio system uses an ignition
switched source of battery current so that the system
will only operate when the ignition switch is in the
RUN or ACCESSORY positions.
The audio system includes the following compo-
nents:
²Amplifier choke and relay
²Antenna
²Compact disc changer (if equipped)
²Power amplifier mounted to each front door
speaker (with premium speaker system only)
²Radio noise suppression components
²Radio receiver
²Remote radio switches (if equipped)
²SpeakersCertain functions and features of the audio system
rely upon resources shared with other electronic
modules in the vehicle over the Programmable Com-
munication Interface (PCI) bus network. The data
bus network allows the sharing of sensor informa-
tion. For diagnosis of these electronic modules or of
the data bus network, the use of a DRB scan tool and
the proper Diagnostic Procedures manual are recom-
mended.
Refer to the appropriate wiring information for
complete standard and premium audio system circuit
diagrams. The wiring information includes 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.
OPERATION
The audio system components are designed to pro-
vide audio entertainment and information through
the reception, tuning and amplification of locally
broadcast radio signals in both the Amplitude Modu-
