LEFT MULTI-FUNCTION
SWITCH
DESCRIPTION
The left multi-function switch, its mounting provi-
sions, and its electrical connections are all concealed
beneath the steering column shrouds, just below the
steering wheel (Fig. 22).
A single connector with eleven terminal pins is
located on the back of the switch housing and con-
nects the switch to the vehicle electrical system. The
left multi-function switch supports the following exte-
rior lighting functions:
²Auto Headlamps
²Front Fog Lamps
²Hazard Warning Control
²Headlamps
²Headlamp Beam Selection
²Headlamp Optical Horn
²Park Lamps
²Rear Fog Lamps
²Turn Signal Control
The left multi-function switch also supports the fol-
lowing interior lighting functions:
²Panel Lamps Dimming
²Interior Lamps Defeat²Interior Lamps On
²Parade Mode
The left multi-function switch cannot be adjusted
or repaired. If any function of the switch is faulty, or
if the switch is damaged, the entire switch unit must
be replaced.
OPERATION
The left multi-function switch uses a combination
of resistor multiplexed and conventionally switched
outputs to control the many functions and features it
provides using a minimal number of hard wired cir-
cuits. The switch is grounded to the chassis beneath
the center floor console, just forward of the Airbag
Control Module (ACM). Following are descriptions of
the how the left multi-function switch operates to
control the many exterior lighting functions and fea-
tures it provides:
²Auto Headlamps- The automatic headlamps
feature is provided by the Body Control Module
(BCM), which monitors an input from a photodiode
sensor located on the top of the instrument panel to
detect ambient light levels whenever the ignition
switch is in the On position. Based upon the multi-
plexed input from the left multi-function switch and
the input of the photodiode sensor, the BCM controls
outputs to the park lamp and headlamp relays to
illuminate or extinguish all exterior lighting.
²Front Fog Lamps- The Body Control Module
(BCM) monitors the left multi-function switch then,
based upon that switched ground input, controls an
output to the front fog lamp relay to illuminate or
extinguish the front fog lamps.

²Hazard Warning Control- The hazard warn-
ing push button is pressed down to activate the haz-
ard warning system, and pressed down again to turn
the system off. The left multi-function switch pro-
vides a ground to the hazard warning sense input of
the combination flasher to control activation of the
hazard warning lamps.
²Headlamps- The Body Control Module (BCM)
monitors the left multi-function switch then, based
upon that multiplexed input, controls an output to
the headlamp low or high beam relays to illuminate
or extinguish the headlamps.
²Headlamp Beam Selection- The Body Control
Module (BCM) monitors the left multi-function
switch then, based upon that switched ground input,
controls an output to the headlamp low or high beam
relays to activate the selected headlamp beam.
²Headlamp Optical Horn- The Body Control
Module (BCM) monitors the left multi-function
switch then, based upon that switched ground input,
controls an output to the headlamp high beam relay
to activate the headlamp high beams.
²Park Lamps- The Body Control Module (BCM)
monitors the left multi-function switch then, based
upon that multiplexed input, controls an output to
the park lamp relay to illuminate or extinguish the
parking lamps.
²Rear Fog Lamps- The Body Control Module
(BCM) monitors the left multi-function switch then,
based upon that multiplexed input, controls an out-
put to the rear fog lamp relay to illuminate or extin-
guish the rear fog lamps.
²Turn Signal Control- The left multi-function
switch control stalk actuates the turn signal switch.
The Body Control Module (BCM) monitors the left
multi-function switch then, based upon that multi-
plexed input, provides a variable voltage output to
control the lighting of the turn signals.
Following are descriptions of the how the left
multi-function switch operates to control the many
interior lighting functions and features it provides:
²Panel Lamps Dimming- The Body Control
Module (BCM) monitors the left multi-function
switch then, based upon that multiplexed input, pro-
vides a variable voltage output through several panel
lamps driver circuits to control the lighting of many
incandescent panel lamps. The BCM also sends panel
lamps dimming messages over the Programmable
Communications Interface (PCI) data bus to other
modules to control Display lighting levels in those
modules.²Interior Lamps Defeat- The Body Control
Module (BCM) monitors the left multi-function
switch then, based upon that multiplexed input,
internally disables the function the BCM normally
provides to control the illumination of the interior
lamps.
²Interior Lamps On- The Body Control Module
(BCM) monitors the left multi-function switch then,
based upon that multiplexed input, provides a control
output to activate all of the interior lamp circuits.
²Parade Mode- The Body Control Module
(BCM) monitors the left multi-function switch then,
based upon that multiplexed input, provides a volt-
age output through several panel lamps driver cir-
cuits to control the lighting of many incandescent
panel lamps. The BCM also sends panel lamps dim-
ming messages over the Programmable Communica-
tions Interface (PCI) data bus to other modules on
the bus to control lighting levels in those modules.

UNIVERSAL TRANSMITTER
DESCRIPTION
The Grand Cherokee Limited model has a Univer-
sal Garage Door Opener (UGDO) transceiver as stan-
dard factory-installed equipment. The UGDO is
optional on Laredo models. The UGDO transceiver is
integral to the Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC), which is located in the overhead console. The
only visible component of the UGDO are the three
transmitter push buttons centered between the four
EVIC push buttons located just rearward of the
EVIC display screen in the overhead console. The
three UGDO transmitter push buttons are identified
with one, two or three dots so that they be easily
identified by sight.
Each of the three UGDO transmitter push buttons
controls an independent radio transmitter channel.
Each of these three channels can be trained to trans-
mit a different radio frequency signal for the remoteoperation of garage door openers, motorized gate
openers, home or office lighting, security systems or
just about any other device that can be equipped
with a radio receiver in the 288 to 410 MegaHertz
(MHz) frequency range for remote operation. The
UGDO is capable of operating systems using either
rolling code or non-rolling code technology.
The EVIC module displays messages and a small
house-shaped icon with one, two or three dots corre-
sponding to the three transmitter buttons to indicate
the status of the UGDO. The EVIC messages are:
²Cleared Channels- Indicates that all of the
transmitter codes stored in the UGDO have been suc-
cessfully cleared.
²Training- Indicates that the UGDO is in its
transmitter learning mode.
²Trained- Indicates that the UGDO has success-
fully acquired a new transmitter code.
²Transmit- Indicates that a trained UGDO
transmitter button has been depressed and that the
UGDO is transmitting.
The UGDO cannot be repaired, and is available for
service only as a unit with the EVIC module. This
unit includes the push button switches and the plas-
tic module. If any of these components are faulty or
damaged, the complete EVIC module must be
replaced.
OPERATION
The universal transmitter operates on a non-
switched source of battery current so the unit will
remain functional, regardless of the ignition switch
position. For more information on the features, pro-
gramming procedures and operation of the universal
transmitter, see the owner's manual in the vehicle
glove box.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - UNIVERSAL
TRANSMITTER
If the Universal Transmitter is inoperative, but the
Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) is oper-
ating normally, see the owner's manual in the vehicle
glove box for instructions on training the Transmit-
ter. Retrain the Transmitter with a known good
transmitter as instructed in the owner's manual and
test the Transmitter operation again. If the unit is
still inoperative, replace the faulty Transmitter and
EVIC module as a unit. If both the Transmitter and
the EVIC module are inoperative, refer toElec-
tronic Vehicle Information Center Diagnosis
and Testingin this group for further diagnosis. For
complete circuit diagrams, refer toWiring Dia-
grams.

ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFO CENTER (Continued)

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 power door lock system include:
²Auto Door Locks- Automatically locks all of
the vehicle doors and the liftgate when the vehicle
reaches a speed of about 24 kilometers-per-hour (15
miles-per-hour) with 10% throttle tip-in.
²Auto Unlock on Exit- Automatically unlocks
all of the vehicle doors and the liftgate when the
driver side front door is opened, if the vehicle is
stopped and the transmission gear selector is in the
Park or Neutral positions. This feature is linked to
the Auto Door Locks feature, and will only occur one
time following each Auto Door Lock event.
The power lock system for this vehicle can also be
operated remotely using the standard equipment
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system radio frequency
transmitters. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/POWER
LOCKS - DESCRIPTION - REMOTE KEYLESS
ENTRY SYSTEM).
The components of the power lock system include:
²Driver Door Module (DDM)
²Passenger Door Module (PDM)
²PCI Bus Messages
²Power Lock Motors
Certain functions and features of the power lock
system rely upon resources shared with other elec-
tronic modules in the vehicle over the Programmable
Communications Interface (PCI) data bus network.
The PCI data bus network allows the sharing of sen-
sor information. This helps to reduce wire harness
complexity, internal controller hardware, and compo-
nent sensor current loads. At the same time, this sys-
tem provides increased reliability, enhanced
diagnostics, and allows the addition of many new fea-
ture capabilities. For proper diagnosis of these elec-
tronic modules or of the PCI data bus network, the
use of a DRBIIItscan tool and the appropriate diag-
nostic information are required.
The other electronic modules that may affect power
lock system operation are as follows:
²Body Control Module (BCM)- (Refer to 8 -
ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MOD-
ULES/BODY CONTROL/CENTRAL TIMER MOD-
ULE - DESCRIPTION).
²Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC)- (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/OVERHEAD
CONSOLE/ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFO CENTER
- DESCRIPTION).
²Powertrain Control Module (PCM)- (Refer
to 8 - ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROLMODULES/POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE -
DESCRIPTION).
Hard wired circuitry connects the power lock sys-
tem components to the electrical system of the vehi-
cle. 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 power lock sys-
tem components through the use of a combination of
soldered splices, splice block connectors, and many
different types of wire harness terminal connectors
and insulators. Refer to the appropriate wiring infor-
mation. The wiring information includes wiring dia-
grams, proper wire and connector repair procedures,
further details on wire harness routing and reten-
tion, as well as pin-out and location views for the
various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.
DESCRIPTION - REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY
SYSTEM
A Radio Frequency (RF) type Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) system is standard factory-installed
equipment on this model. The RKE system allows
the use of a remote battery-powered radio transmit-
ter to control the power lock system. The RKE
receiver operates on non-switched battery current
through a fuse in the Power Distribution Center
(PDC), so that the system remains operational,
regardless of the ignition switch position.
In addition to Lock and Unlock buttons, the RKE
transmitters are also equipped with a Panic button.
If the Panic button on the RKE transmitter is
depressed, the horn will sound and the exterior lights
will flash on the vehicle for about three minutes, or
until the Panic button is depressed a second time, if
ignition is in the Off position. A vehicle speed of
about 24 kilometers-per-hour (15 miles-per-hour) will
also cancel the panic event.
The RKE system can also perform other functions
on this vehicle. If the vehicle is equipped with the
optional Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS), the
RKE transmitter will arm the VTSS when the Lock
button is depressed, and disarm the VTSS when the
Unlock button is depressed. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRI-
CAL/VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY - DESCRIPTION
- VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY SYSTEM). If the
vehicle is equipped with the optional Memory Sys-
tem, each of the two numbered and color-coded RKE
transmitters can be used to recall the stored driver
side front seat position, both outside power rear view
mirror positions, and the radio station presets for the
two assigned drivers. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
POWER SEATS - DESCRIPTION - MEMORY SYS-
TEM).

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/
FLIP-UP GLASS LATCH - INSTALLATION).
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
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.OPERATION
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.
