2003 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE BCM diagram

OPERATION
The EVIC has access to both non-switched and
ignition switched sources of battery current so that
some of its features remain operational at any time,
while others may only operate with the ignition
switch in the On position. When the ignition switch
is turned to the On position, the EVIC module VFD
will return to the last function being displayed before
the ignition was turned to the Off position.
The compass/temperature display is the normal
EVIC display. With the ignition switch in the On
position, momentarily depressing and releasing the
C/T (compass/temperature) push button switch will
cause the EVIC to return to the compass/tempera-
ture/trip computer display mode from any other
mode. While in the compass/temperature/trip com-
puter display mode, momentarily depressing and
releasing the Step push button will step through the
available trip computer display options.
The EVIC trip computer features several functions
that can be reset. The functions that can be reset
are: average fuel economy, trip odometer and elapsed
time. With the ignition switch in the On position and
with one of the functions of the trip computer that
can be reset currently displayed, depressing the
Reset push button twice within three seconds will
perform a global reset, and all of the trip computer
information that can be reset will be reset to zero.
With the ignition switch in the On position and the
function that is to be reset currently displayed,
momentarily depressing and releasing the Reset
push button once will perform a local reset, and only
the value of the displayed function will be reset to
zero. A global or local reset will only occur if the
function currently displayed is a function that can be
reset. The distance to service function can also be
reset using the local reset method, but it will reset
back to the Service Interval distance that is set in
the EVIC programmable features mode. Refer to
ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFORMATION CEN-
TER PROGRAMMINGin the Service Procedures
section of this group for more information on setting
the Service Interval.
For more information on the features, control func-
tions and setting procedures for the EVIC module,

AMBIENT TEMP SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
Ambient air temperature is monitored by the Elec-
tronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) through
ambient temperature messages received from the
Body Control Module (BCM) over the Programmable
Communications Interface (PCI) data bus network.
The BCM receives a hard wired input from the ambi-
ent temperature sensor. The ambient temperature
sensor is a variable resistor mounted to a bracket
that is secured with a screw to the right side of the
headlamp mounting module grille opening, behind
the radiator grille and in front of the engine compart-
ment.
Refer toBody Control Modulein Electronic Con-
trol Modules. For complete circuit diagrams, refer to
the appropriate wiring information. The ambient
temperature sensor cannot be adjusted or repaired
and, if faulty or damaged, it must be replaced.
OPERATION
The ambient temperature sensor is a variable
resistor that operates on a five-volt reference signal
sent to it by the BCM. The resistance in the sensor
changes as temperature changes, changing the tem-
perature sensor signal circuit voltage to the BCM.
Based upon the resistance in the sensor, the BCM
senses a specific voltage on the temperature sensor
signal circuit, which it is programmed to correspond
to a specific temperature. The BCM then sends the
proper ambient temperature messages to the EVIC
over the PCI data bus.
The temperature function is supported by the
ambient temperature sensor, a wiring circuit, the
Body Control Module (BCM), the Programmable
Communications Interface (PCI) data bus, and a por-
tion of the Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC) module. If any portion of the ambient temper-
ature sensor circuit fails, the BCM will self-diagnose
the circuit. A temperature reading of 130É F will
appear in the EVIC display in place of the tempera-
ture when the sensor circuit is shorted. A tempera-
ture reading of ±40É F will appear in the EVIC
display in place of the temperature when the sensor
circuit is open.
The ambient temperature sensor circuit can also be
diagnosed by referring toDiagnosis and Testing -
Ambient Temperature Sensor, and Diagnosis
and Testing - Ambient Temperature Sensor Cir-
cuit. If the temperature sensor and circuit are con-
firmed to be OK, but the temperature display is
inoperative or incorrect, refer toDiagnosis and
Testing - Electronic Vehicle Information Center
in this group. For complete circuit diagrams, refer to
the appropriate wiring information.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - AMBIENT
TEMPERATURE SENSOR
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the Off position.
Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
Disconnect the ambient temperature sensor wire har-
ness connector.
(2) Measure the resistance of the ambient temper-
ature sensor. At ±40É C (±40É F), the sensor resis-
tance is 336.6 kilohms. At 60É C (140É F), the sensor
resistance is 2.49 kilohms. The sensor resistance
should read between these two values. If OK, refer to
Diagnosis and Testing - Ambient Temperature
Sensor Circuitin this group. If not OK, replace the
faulty ambient temperature sensor.

8M - 12 MESSAGE SYSTEMSWJ

The RKE system includes two transmitters when
the vehicle is shipped from the factory, but the sys-
tem can retain the vehicle access codes of up to four
transmitters. The transmitter codes are retained in
the RKE receiver memory, even if the battery is dis-
connected. If an RKE transmitter is faulty or lost,
new transmitter vehicle access codes can be pro-
grammed into the system using a DRBIIItscan tool
and the appropriate diagnostic information.
This vehicle also offers several customer program-
mable features, which allows the selection of several
optional electronic features to suit individual prefer-
ences. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/OVERHEAD CON-
SOLE/ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFO CENTER -
DESCRIPTION). Customer programmable feature
options affecting the RKE system include:
²Remote Unlock- Allows the option of having
only the driver side front door unlock when the RKE
transmitter Unlock button is depressed the first time
and the remaining doors and the liftgate unlock
when the button is depressed a second time, or hav-
ing all doors and the liftgate unlock upon the first
depression of the RKE transmitter Unlock button.
²Remote Linked to Memory- If the vehicle is
equipped with the Memory System, this feature
allows the option of having the RKE transmitter
Unlock button activate the recall of the stored set-
tings, or having the recall function assigned solely to
the memory switch on the driver side front door trim
panel.
²Sound Horn on Lock- Allows the option of
having the horn sound a short chirp as an audible
verification that the doors have locked, or having no
audible verification.
²Flash Lights with Lock- Allows the option of
having the lights flash as an optical verification that
the doors have locked, or having no optical verifica-
tion.
This group covers the following components of the
RKE system:
²RKE Receiver
²RKE Transmitter
Certain functions and features of the RKE system
rely upon resources shared with other electronic
modules in the vehicle over the Programmable Com-
munications Interface (PCI) data bus network. The
PCI data bus network allows the sharing of sensor
information. This helps to reduce wire harness com-
plexity, internal controller hardware, and component
sensor current loads. At the same time, this system
provides increased reliability, enhanced diagnostics,
and allows the addition of many new feature capabil-
ities. For diagnosis of these electronic modules or of
the PCI data bus network, the use of a DRBIIItscan
tool and the appropriate diagnostic information are
required.The other electronic modules that may affect RKE
system operation are as follows:
²Body Control Module (BCM)- (Refer to 8 -

several 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 RKE system com-
ponents through the use of a combination of soldered
splices, splice block connectors, and many different
types of wire harness terminal connectors and insu-
lators. 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
harness connectors, splices and grounds.
COMBINATION FLASHER
The combination flasher is a smart relay that func-
tions as both the turn signal system and the hazard
warning system flasher. The combination flasher con-
tains active electronic Integrated Circuitry (IC) ele-
ments. This flasher can be energized by the BCM to
flash all of the park/turn signal/front side marker
lamps as an optical alert for the RKE panic function
and, if the Flash Lights with Lock programmable fea-
ture is enabled, as an optical verification for the RKE
lock event. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/LAMPS/
LIGHTING - EXTERIOR/COMBINATION FLASHER

the engine compartment. This relay can be energized
by the BCM to sound the horns as an audible alert
for the RKE panic function and, if the Sound Horn
on Lock programmable feature is enabled, as an
audible verification for the RKE lock event. (Refer to
8 - ELECTRICAL/HORN/HORN RELAY - DESCRIP-
TION).
LOW BEAM HEADLAMP RELAY
The low beam headlamp relay is a electromechan-
ical device that switches battery current to the head-
lamp low beams when the BCM grounds the relay
coil. The low beam headlamp relay is located in the
junction block in the passenger compartment. This
relay can be energized by the BCM to flash the head-
lamp low beams as an optical alert for the RKE panic
function. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/LAMPS/LIGHT-
ING - EXTERIOR/HEADLAMP - DESCRIPTION).
DESCRIPTION - LIFTGATE FLIP-UP GLASS
POWER RELEASE SYSTEM
A power operated liftgate flip-up glass release sys-
tem is standard factory installed equipment on this
model. The liftgate flip-up glass power release system
allows the flip-up glass latch to be released electri-
cally by depressing a switch located on the bottom of
the liftgate license plate lamp housing unit, above
the license plate on the outside of the liftgate.
The liftgate flip-up glass release system operates
on non-switched battery current supplied through a
fuse in the junction block so that the system remains
functional, regardless of the ignition switch position.
However, a limit switch that is integral to the liftgate
latch actuator unit opens to prevent the flip-up glass
latch from being actuated when the liftgate latch is
locked.
The liftgate flip-up glass power release system
includes the following components:
²Liftgate Flip-Up Glass Limit Switch- The
liftgate flip-up glass limit switch is integral to the
liftgate latch unit. (Refer to 23 - BODY/DECKLID/
HATCH/LIFTGATE/TAILGATE/LATCH - REMOVAL)
and (Refer to 23 - BODY/DECKLID/HATCH/LIFT-
GATE/TAILGATE/LATCH - INSTALLATION).
²Liftgate Flip-Up Glass Release Motor- The
liftgate flip-up glass release motor is integral to the
liftgate flip-up glass latch unit. (Refer to 23 - BODY/
DECKLID/HATCH/LIFTGATE/TAILGATE/FLIP-UP
GLASS LATCH - REMOVAL) and (Refer to 23 -
BODY/DECKLID/HATCH/LIFTGATE/TAILGATE/

²Liftgate Flip-Up Glass Release Switch- The
liftgate flip-up glass release switch is integral to the
liftgate license plate lamp housing. (Refer to 23 -
BODY/DECKLID/HATCH/LIFTGATE/TAILGATE/
FLIP-UP GLASS SWITCH - REMOVAL) and (Referto 23 - BODY/DECKLID/HATCH/LIFTGATE/TAIL-
GATE/FLIP-UP GLASS SWITCH - INSTALLATION).
Hard wired circuitry connects the liftgate flip-up
glass power release system components to the electri-
cal system of the vehicle. These hard wired circuits
are integral to several 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
liftgate flip-up glass power release system compo-
nents through the use of a combination of soldered

OPERATION - POWER LOCK SYSTEM
The Passenger Door Module (PDM) contains the
power door lock control logic and a power lock switch.
The Driver Door Module (DDM) contains a power
lock switch and controls the output to the driver side
front door power lock motor, while the PDM controls
the output to the power lock motors for the remain-
ing doors and the liftgate.
When the power lock switch on the DDM is used to
lock or unlock the doors, the DDM sends a control
output to the driver side front door power lock motor
and sends lock or unlock request messages to the
PDM over the Programmable Communications Inter-
face (PCI) data bus. The PDM responds to these mes-
sages by sending control outputs to the power lock
motors of the remaining doors and the liftgate. When
the power lock switch on the PDM is used to lock or
unlock the doors, the PDM sends control outputs to
the power lock motors in the passenger side front
door, both rear doors and the liftgate, then sends lock
or unlock request messages to the DDM over the Pro-
grammable Communications Interface (PCI) data
bus. The DDM responds to these messages by send-
ing control outputs to the power lock motor of the
driver side front door.
In order to support the auto door locks and unlock
on exit features, if enabled, the power lock system
logic in the PDM needs to know the door ajar switch
status, vehicle speed, and transmission gear selector
lever position. The passenger side front door ajar
switch is the only hard wired input to the PDM. The
PDM obtains the remaining information from mes-
sages it receives from other electronic modules over
the PCI data bus network.

²If the power lock system functions with the RKE
transmitter, but not with one or both power lock
switches, proceed to diagnosis of the door modules.
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CON-
TROL MODULES/DOOR MODULE - DIAGNOSIS
AND TESTING).
²If the driver side power lock switch operates
only the driver side front door power lock motor, but
all other power lock motors operate with the passen-
ger side power lock switch or the RKE transmitter,
use a DRBIIItscan tool and the appropriate diagnos-
tic information to diagnose the Programmable Com-
munications Interface (PCI) data bus.
²If only one power lock motor fails to operate
with both power lock switches and the RKE trans-
mitter, proceed to diagnosis of the power lock motor.
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER LOCKS/POWER
LOCK MOTOR - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - REMOTE KEYLESS
ENTRY SYSTEM
Following are tests that will help to diagnose the
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system. However, these
tests may not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of
this system. In order to obtain conclusive testing of
the RKE system, the Programmable Communications
Interface (PCI) data bus network and all of the elec-
tronic modules that provide inputs to, or receive out-
puts from the RKE system components must be
checked.
The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to
diagnose the RKE system requires the use of a
DRBIIItscan tool and the appropriate diagnostic
information. The DRBIIItscan tool can provide con-
firmation that the PCI data bus is functional, that all
of the electronic modules are sending and receiving
the proper messages on the PCI data bus, and that
the RKE receiver is being sent the proper radio fre-
quency signals by the RKE transmitters to perform
its RKE system functions.
Refer to the appropriate 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 connectors, splices and grounds.
PRELIMINARY DIAGNOSIS
As a preliminary diagnosis for the RKE system,
note the system operation while you perform both the
Lock and Unlock functions with the power lock
switches and with the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter. Then, proceed as follows:
²If the entire power lock system fails to function
with either the power lock switches or the RKE
transmitter, check the fused B(+) fuse in the PowerDistribution Center. If the fuse is OK, proceed to the
diagnosis for the door modules. (Refer to 8 - ELEC-
TRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES/
DOOR MODULE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
²If the power lock system functions with both
power lock switches, but not with the RKE transmit-
ter, proceed to the diagnosis for the RKE transmitter.
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER LOCKS/RE-
MOTE KEYLESS ENTRY TRANSMITTER - DIAG-
NOSIS AND TESTING).
²If the driver side power lock switch operates
only the driver side front door power lock motor, but
all other power lock motors operate with the passen-
ger side power lock switch or the RKE transmitter,
use a DRBIIItscan tool and the appropriate diagnos-
tic information to diagnose the Programmable Com-
munications Interface (PCI) data bus.
If the problem being diagnosed involves only the
Sound Horn on Lock or the Flash Lights with Locks
features, be certain that these programmable fea-
tures are enabled. If the features are enabled and the
service horn and turn signals still operate, the Body
Control Module (BCM) and the PCI data bus must be
tested. For diagnosis of the BCM or the PCI data
bus, the use of a DRBIII scan tool and the appropri-
ate diagnostic information are required.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - LIFTGATE FLIP-UP

DOOR CYLINDER LOCK
SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The driver cylinder lock switch is integral to the
key lock cylinder inside the driver side front door.
The driver cylinder lock switch is a resistive multi-
plexed switch that is hard wired between a body
ground and the Driver Door Module (DDM) through
the front door wire harness. It maintains a path to
ground, and changes voltages through an internal
resistor when the lock cylinder is rotated to the lock
or unlock position.
The driver cylinder lock switch cannot be adjusted
or repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the driver side
front door lock cylinder unit must be replaced. (Refer
to 23 - BODY/DOOR - FRONT/LOCK CYLINDER -
REMOVAL) and (Refer to 23 - BODY/DOOR -
FRONT/LOCK CYLINDER - INSTALLATION). Refer
to the appropriate wiring information. The wiringinformation 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 harness
connectors, splices and grounds.
OPERATION
The driver cylinder lock switch is actuated by the
key lock cylinder when the key is inserted in the lock
cylinder and turned to the unlock position. The
driver cylinder lock switch maintains a path to
ground and changes voltages through an internal
resistor for the DDM when the driver door key lock
cylinder is in the lock or unlock position. The DDM
reads the switch status through an internal pull-up,
then sends the proper switch status messages to
other electronic modules over the Programmable
Communications Interface (PCI) data bus network.
The driver cylinder lock switch unlock status mes-
sage is used by the BCM as an input for Vehicle
Theft Security System (VTSS) operation and interior
lighting.
POWER LOCK MOTOR
DESCRIPTION
Power operated front door, rear door, and liftgate
locking mechanisms are standard equipment on this
model. The lock mechanisms are actuated by a
reversible electric motor mounted within each door
and the liftgate. The power lock motors for the doors
are integral to the door latch units. The liftgate
power lock motor is a separate unit secured to the
latch brainplate near the center of the liftgate and
operates the liftgate latch lock mechanism through a
connecting linkage rod.
The power lock motors for the four doors cannot be
adjusted or repaired and, if faulty or damaged, the
entire door latch unit must be replaced. The liftgate
power lock motor cannot be adjusted or repaired and,
if faulty or damaged, the entire liftgate latch actua-
tor (brainplate) unit must be replaced.
OPERATION
The driver side front door power lock motor is con-
trolled by the Driver Door Module (DDM). The
remaining power door lock motors and the liftgate
power lock motor are controlled by the Passenger
Door Module (PDM). A positive and negative battery
connection to the two motor terminals will cause the
power lock motor plunger to move in one direction.
Reversing the current through these same two con-
nections will cause the power lock motor plunger to
move in the opposite direction.

OPERATION
The Driver Door Module (DDM) and the Passenger
Door Module (PDM) each contain the power mirror
control logic for the mirror on its respective door. The
DDM also houses the power mirror switch. Each door
module controls the positioning of its respective out-
side mirror through hard wired outputs to that mir-
ror. When the power mirror switch on the DDM is
used to position the passenger side outside mirror,
the DDM sends mirror positioning messages to the
PDM over the Programmable Communications Inter-
face (PCI) data bus. The PDM responds to these mes-
sages by sending control outputs to move the
passenger side mirror accordingly.
Both the PDM and DDM respond to the defogger
switch status messages sent by the Body Control
Module (BCM) over the PCI data bus to control the
electric heater grids of their respective mirrors.
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/HEATED MIRRORS -
DESCRIPTION) for more information on this fea-
ture.
On models equipped with the optional memory sys-
tem, each door module also receives a hard wired
input from the two power mirror motor position
potentiometers that are integral to each power mir-
ror. Each door module then stores the Driver 1 and
Driver 2 mirror position information for its respective
mirror. When the DDM receives a Driver 1 or Driver
2 memory recall message from the memory switch on
the driver side front door trim panel or from the
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) receiver in the PDM,
the DDM positions the driver side mirror and sends
a memory recall message back to the PDM over the
PCI data bus to position the passenger side mirror.
See the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box for
more information on the features, use and operation
of the power mirror system.

hard wired components and circuits of the power mir-
ror system. However, these tests may not prove con-
clusive in the diagnosis of this system. In order toobtain conclusive testing of the power mirror system,
the Programmable Communications Interface (PCI)
data bus network and all of the electronic modules
that provide inputs to, or receive outputs from the
power mirror system components must be checked.
The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means to
diagnose the power mirror system requires the use of
a DRB scan tool and the proper Diagnostic Proce-
dures manual. The DRB scan tool can provide confir-
mation that the PCI data bus is functional, that all
of the electronic modules are sending and receiving
the proper messages on the PCI data bus, that the
power mirror motors are being sent the proper hard
wired outputs, and that the mirror position potenti-
ometers are returning the proper outputs to the door
modules for them to perform their power mirror sys-
tem functions.
AUTOMATIC DAY/NIGHT
MIRROR
DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION - REAR VIEW MIRROR
An automatic day/night mirror system is an avail-
able factory-installed option on this model. The auto-
matic dimming inside day/night rear view mirror
system is a completely self-contained unit that
replaces the standard equipment inside rear view
mirror. This system will automatically change the
reflectance of the inside rear view mirror to protect
the driver from the unwanted headlight glare of
trailing vehicles while driving at night. The auto-
matic day/night inside mirror receives ignition
switched battery current through a fuse in the junc-
tion block, and will only operate when the ignition
switch is in the On position.
Vehicles equipped with the automatic day/night
mirror system are also available with an optional fac-
tory-installed automatic dimming outside rear view
mirror for the driver side of the vehicle. (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/POWER MIRRORS/SIDEVIEW MIR-
ROR - DESCRIPTION) for more information on this
option.
The automatic day/night mirror sensitivity cannot
be repaired or adjusted. If any component of this unit
is faulty or damaged, the entire automatic day/night
inside rear view mirror unit must be replaced. Refer
to the appropriate wiring information. The wiring
information includes wiring diagrams, proper wire
and connector repair procedures, details of wire har-
ness routing and retention, connector pin-out infor-
mation and location views for the various wire
harness connectors, splices and grounds.

Refer toPower Seatin Wiring Diagrams for com-
plete circuit diagrams. Following are general descrip-
tions of the major components in the power seat/
memory seat system.
DESCRIPTION - MEMORY SYSTEM
An electronic memory system is standard equip-
ment on the Limited model. The memory system is
able to store and recall the driver side power seat
positions (including the power recliner position), and
both outside power mirror positions for two drivers.
For vehicles with a radio connected to the Program-
mable Communications Interface (PCI) data bus net-
work, the memory system is also able to store and
recall up to twenty - ten AM and ten FM - radio sta-
tion presets for two drivers. The memory system also
will store and recall the last station listened to for
each driver, even if it is not one of the twenty preset
stations.
The memory system will automatically return to
all of these settings when the corresponding num-
bered and color-coded button (Driver 1 - Black, or
Driver 2 - Gray) of the memory switch on the driver
side front door trim panel is depressed, or when the
doors are unlocked using the corresponding num-
bered and color-coded (Driver 1 - Black, or Driver 2 -
Gray) Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter. A
customer programmable feature of the memory sys-
tem allows the RKE recall of memory features to be
disabled in cases where there are more than two
drivers of the vehicle.
The memory system also has a customer program-
mable easy exit feature that will move the driver
seat rearward 55 millimeters (two inches) or to the
end of its travel, whichever occurs first, when the key
is removed from the ignition switch lock cylinder.A Memory Seat Module (MSM) or Memory Heated
Seat Module (MHSM) are used on this model to con-
trol and integrate the many electronic functions and
features included in the memory system. On vehicles
equipped with the heated seat system option, the
MHSM also controls the functions and features of
that system.
The memory system includes the following compo-
nents:
²Memory seat module (or memory heated seat
module)
²Memory switch
²Position potentiometers on both outside power
mirrors
²Position potentiometers on the driver side power
seat track and power seat recliner motors.
²Radio receiver (if PCI data bus capable).
Certain functions and features of the memory sys-
tem rely upon resources shared with other electronic
modules in the vehicle over the Programmable Com-
munications Interface (PCI) data bus network. The
PCI data bus network allows the sharing of sensor
information. This helps to reduce wire harness com-
plexity, internal controller hardware, and component
sensor current loads. At the same time, this system
provides increased reliability, enhanced diagnostics,
and allows the addition of many new feature capabil-
ities. For diagnosis of these electronic modules or of
the PCI data bus network, the use of a DRBtscan
tool and the proper Diagnostic Procedures manual
are recommended.

ory system operation are as follows:
