2003 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 23 Body

The two remote radio switch units share a common
steering wheel wire harness with the vehicle speed
control switches. The steering wheel wire harness is
connected to the instrument panel wire harness
through the clockspring. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
RESTRAINTS/CLOCKSPRING - DESCRIPTION) for
more information on this component.
For complete circuit diagrams, refer to the appro-
priate 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 connec-
tors, splices and grounds.
OPERATION
The six switches in the two remote radio switch
units are normally open, resistor multiplexed
momentary switches that are hard wired to the Body
Control Module (BCM) through the clockspring. The
BCM sends a five volt reference signal to both switch
units on one circuit, and senses the status of all of
the switches by reading the voltage drop on a second
circuit.
When the BCM senses an input (voltage drop) from
any one of the remote radio switches, it sends the
proper switch status messages on the ProgrammableCommunication Interface (PCI) data bus network to
the radio receiver. The electronic circuitry within the
radio receiver is programmed to respond to these
remote radio switch status messages by adjusting the
radio settings as requested. For diagnosis of the
BCM or the PCI data bus, the use of a DRB scan tool
and the proper Diagnostic Procedures manual are
recommended.
For more information on the features and control
functions for each of the remote radio switches, see
the owner's manual in the vehicle glove box.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - REMOTE
SWITCHES
Any diagnosis of the Audio system should
begin with the use of the DRB IIItdiagnostic
tool. For information on the use of the DRB
IIIt, refer to the appropriate Diagnostic Service
Manual.
For complete circuit diagrams, refer to the appro-
priate 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 connec-
tors, splices and grounds.

the open or shorted radio control mux circuit to the
Body Control Module (BCM) as required.
(4) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable. Disconnect the 22-way instrument panel wire
harness connector from the BCM. Check for continu-
ity between the remote radio switch ground circuit
cavities of the steering wheel wire harness connec-
tors for both remote radio switches and a good
ground. There should be no continuity. If OK, go to
Step 5. If not OK, repair the shorted remote radio
switch ground circuit to the BCM as required.(5) Check for continuity between the remote radio
switch ground circuit cavities of the steering wheel
wire harness connectors for both remote radio
switches and the 22-way instrument panel wire har-
ness connector for the BCM. There should be conti-

Procedures manual to test the BCM and the PCI
data bus. If not OK, repair the open remote radio
switch ground circuit as required.

CHIME WARNING SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
The chime warning system uses a single chime
tone generator that is integral to the Body Control
Module (BCM) to provide an audible indication of
vehicle conditions that may require the attention of
the vehicle operator (Fig. 1). The chime warning sys-
tem includes the following major components:
²Body Control Module
²Door Ajar Switch
²Headlamp Switch
²Ignition Switch
²Seat Belt SwitchHard wired circuitry connects many of the chime
warning system components to each other through
the electrical system of the vehicle.
If the BCM or the chime tone generator are dam-
aged or faulty, the BCM unit must be replaced.
OPERATION
The chime warning system components operate on
battery voltage received through the Ignition-Off
Draw (IOD) fuse in the Power Distribution Center
(PDC) on a non-switched B(+) circuit so that the sys-
tem may operate regardless of the ignition switch
position.

The chime warning system provides an audible
indication to the vehicle operator under the following
conditions:
²Fasten Seat Belt Warning- The Body Control
Module (BCM) chime tone generator will generate
repetitive chimes to announce that an input from the
seat belt switch indicates the driver side front seat
belt is not fastened. Unless the driver side front seat
belt is fastened, the chimes will continue to sound for
a duration of about six seconds each time the ignition
switch is turned to the On position or until the driver
side front seat belt is fastened.
²Head/Park Lights-On Warning- The BCM
chime tone generator will generate repetitive chimes
at a fast rate to announce that a Programmable
Communications Interface (PCI) data bus driver door
ajar message, along with hard wired inputs from the
headlamp switch indicate that the exterior lamps are
turned On with the driver side front door opened.
The chime will continue to sound until the exterior
lamps are turned Off, the driver side front door is
closed, or the ignition switch is turned to the On
position.
²Key-In-Ignition Warning- The BCM chime
tone generator will generate repetitive chimes at a
fast rate to announce that a PCI data bus driver door
ajar message received from the Driver Door Module
(DDM), along with hard wired inputs from the key-
in-ignition warning switch indicate that the key is in
the ignition cylinder with the driver side front door
opened and the ignition switch in the Off position.
The chime will continue to sound until the key is
removed from the ignition lock cylinder, the driver
side front door is closed, or the ignition switch is
turned to the On position.
²Overspeed Warning- The BCM chime tone
generator will generate repetitive chimes at a slowrate to announce that a PCI data bus vehicle speed
message received from the Powertrain Control Mod-
ule (PCM) indicates that the vehicle speed is above
120 kilometers-per-hour (75 miles-per-hour). The
chimes will continue to sound until the vehicle speed
is below 120 kilometers-per-hour (75 miles-per-hour).
This feature is only enabled on a BCM that has been
programmed with a Middle East Gulf Coast Country
(GCC) country code.
²Tactile Beep Support- The BCM chime tone
generator will generate a single beep each time a
PCI data bus tactile beep request message is received
from the Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC) or the Sentry Key Immobilizer Module
(SKIM). This beep provides an audible confirmation
that an EVIC button was completely depressed, or
that the optional Sentry Key Immobilizer System
(SKIS) is in the ªCustomer Learnº mode.
²Warning Beep Support- The BCM chime tone
generator will generate a short series of beeps each
time a PCI data bus warning beep request message
is received from the EVIC or the Electro-Mechanical
Instrument Cluster (EMIC). These beeps provide an
audible alert to the vehicle operator, of certain visual
warning indications displayed by the EVIC and/or
the EMIC.
The BCM provides chime service for all available
features in the chime warning system. The BCM
relies upon message inputs received from other mod-
ules over the PCI data bus network to provide chime
service for all of the remaining chime warning sys-
tem features.
The internal programming of the BCM determines
the priority of each chime tone request input that is
received, as well as the rate and duration of each
chime tone that is to be generated.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - CHIME WARNING
SYSTEM
Refer to the appropriate wiring information. Con-
ventional diagnostic methods may not prove conclu-
sive in the diagnosis of the instrument cluster or the
Programmable Communications Interface (PCI) data
bus network. The most reliable, efficient and accu-
rate means to diagnose the BCM and the PCI data
bus network inputs for the chime warning system
requires the use of a DRBIIItscan tool and the
appropriate diagnostic information.
