For circuit descriptions and diagrams, refer to the
appropriate wiring information. The wiring informa-
tion includes wiring, diagrams, proper wire and con-
nector repair procedures, further details on wire
harness routing and retention, as well as pin-out and
location views for the various wire harness connec-
tors, splices and grounds.
BLOWER MOTOR ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSIS
(1) Check the fuse (Fuse 12 - 25 ampere) in the
Integrated Power Module (IPM). If OK, go to Step 2.
If not OK, repair the shorted circuit or component as
required and replace the faulty fuse.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the On position. Be
certain that the rear A/C-heater control power is
turned on. Check for battery voltage at the fuse
(Fuse 12 - 25 ampere) in the IPM. If OK, go to Step
3. If not OK, check the rear blower motor relay.
(3) Turn the ignition switch to the Off position.
Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
Disconnect the rear HVAC wire harness connector
from the rear blower motor resistor block (Manual
Temperature Control) or the rear blower motor power
module (Automatic Temperature Control). Reconnect
the battery negative cable. Turn the ignition switch
to the On position. Be certain that the rear A/C-
heater control power is turned on. Check for battery
voltage at the fused rear blower motor relay output
circuit cavity of the rear HVAC wire harness connec-
tor for the rear blower motor resistor block (MTC) or
the rear blower motor power module (ATC). If OK, go
to Step 4. If not OK, repair the open fused front
blower motor relay output circuit to the IPM as
required.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the Off position.
Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
Disconnect the rear blower motor pigtail wire connec-
tor from the rear HVAC wire harness (MTC) or the
rear blower power module (ATC). Use jumper wires
to connect a battery and ground feeds to the blower
motor pigtail wire connector. The rear blower motor
should operate. If OK with MTC, proceed to diagno-
sis of the rear blower motor resistor block (Refer to
24 - HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING/CONTROLS
- REAR/BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR - DIAGNOSIS
AND TESTING). If OK with ATC, use a DRBIII scan
tool to diagnose the rear blower motor power module.
Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information. If
not OK with MTC or ATC, replace the faulty rear
blower motor.BLOWER MOTOR NOISE OR VIBRATION

DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION - VEHICLE EMISSION CONTROL
INFORMATION LABEL
All models have a Vehicle Emission Control Infor-
mation (VECI) Label. Chrysler permanently attaches
the label in the engine compartment. It cannot be
removed without defacing information and destroying
the label.
The label contains the vehicle's emission specifica-
tions and vacuum hose routings. All hoses must be
connected and routed according to the label.
DESCRIPTION - TRIP DEFINITION
A ªTripº means vehicle operation (following an
engine-off period) of duration and driving mode such
that all components and systems are monitored at
least once by the diagnostic system. The monitors
must successfully pass before the PCM can verify
that a previously malfunctioning component is meet-
ing the normal operating conditions of that compo-
nent. For misfire or fuel system malfunction, the
MIL may be extinguished if the fault does not recur
when monitored during three subsequent sequential
driving cycles in which conditions are similar to
those under which the malfunction was first deter-
mined.
Anytime the MIL is illuminated, a DTC is stored.
The DTC can self erase only after the MIL has been
extinguished. Once the MIL is extinguished, the
PCM must pass the diagnostic test for the most
recent DTC for 40 warm-up cycles (80 warm-up
cycles for the Fuel System Monitor and the Misfire
Monitor). A warm-up cycle can best be described by
the following:
²The engine must be running²A rise of 40ÉF in engine temperature must occur
from the time when the engine was started
²Engine coolant temperature must crossover
160ÉF
²A ªdriving cycleº that consists of engine start up
and engine shut off.
Once the above conditions occur, the PCM is con-
sidered to have passed a warm-up cycle. Due to the
conditions required to extinguish the MIL and erase
the DTC, it is most important that after a repair has
been made, all DTC's be erased and the repair veri-
fied by running 1±good trip.
DESCRIPTION - MONITORED COMPONENT
There are several components that will affect vehi-
cle emissions if they malfunction. If one of these com-
ponents malfunctions the Malfunction Indicator
Lamp (Check Engine) will illuminate.
Some of the component monitors are checking for
proper operation of the part. Electrically operated
components now have input (rationality) and output
(functionality) checks. Previously, a component like
the Throttle Position sensor (TPS) was checked by
the PCM for an open or shorted circuit. If one of
these conditions occurred, a DTC was set. Now there
is a check to ensure that the component is working.
This is done by watching for a TPS indication of a
greater or lesser throttle opening than MAP and
engine rpm indicate. In the case of the TPS, if engine
vacuum is low and engine rpm is 1600 or greater and
the TPS indicates a small throttle opening, a DTC
will be set.
Any component that has an associated limp in will
set a fault after 1 trip with the malfunction present.
Refer to the Diagnostic Trouble Codes Description
Charts (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC
CONTROL MODULES/POWERTRAIN CONTROL
MODULE - DESCRIPTION) and the appropriate
Powertrain Diagnostic Procedure Manual for diag-
nostic procedures.
RSEMISSIONS CONTROL25-1
OPERATION
OPERATION - SYSTEM
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitors
many different circuits in the fuel injection, ignition,
emission and engine systems. If the PCM senses a
problem with a monitored circuit often enough to
indicate an actual problem, it stores a Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) in the PCM's memory. If the
code applies to a non-emissions related component or
system, and the problem is repaired or ceases to
exist, the PCM cancels the code after 40 warmup
cycles. Diagnostic trouble codes that affect vehicle
emissions illuminate the Malfunction Indicator Lamp
(MIL). Refer to Malfunction Indicator Lamp in this
section.
Certain criteria must be met before the PCM
stores a DTC in memory. The criteria may be a spe-
cific range of engine RPM, engine temperature,
and/or input voltage to the PCM.
The PCM might not store a DTC for a monitored
circuit even though a malfunction has occurred. This
may happen because one of the DTC criteria for the
circuit has not been met.For example, assume the
diagnostic trouble code criteria requires the PCM to
monitor the circuit only when the engine operates
between 750 and 2000 RPM. Suppose the sensor's
output circuit shorts to ground when engine operates
above 2400 RPM (resulting in 0 volt input to the
PCM). Because the condition happens at an engine
speed above the maximum threshold (2000 rpm), the
PCM will not store a DTC.
There are several operating conditions for which
the PCM monitors and sets DTC's. Refer to Moni-
tored Systems, Components, and Non-Monitored Cir-
cuits in this section.
NOTE: Various diagnostic procedures may actually
cause a diagnostic monitor to set a DTC. For
instance, pulling a spark plug wire to perform a
spark test may set the misfire code. When a repair
is completed and verified, use the DRBIIITscan tool
to erase all DTC's and extinguish the MIL.Technicians can display stored DTC's. Refer to
Diagnostic Trouble Codes (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES/POWER-
TRAIN CONTROL MODULE - DESCRIPTION). For
obtaining the DTC information, use the Data Link
Connector with the DRBIIItscan tool (Fig. 1).
DRB IIITSTATE DISPLAY TEST MODE
OPERATION
The switch inputs to the Powertrain Control Mod-
ule (PCM) have two recognized states; HIGH and
LOW. For this reason, the PCM cannot recognize the
difference between a selected switch position versus
an open circuit, a short circuit, or a defective switch.
If the State Display screen shows the change from
HIGH to LOW or LOW to HIGH, assume the entire
switch circuit to the PCM functions properly. From
the state display screen, access either State Display
Inputs and Outputs or State Display Sensors.

DESCRIPTION
The EGR system consists of:
²EGR tube (connects a passage in the intake
manifold to the exhaust port in the cylinder head)
²EGR valve
²Electronic EGR Transducer
²Connecting hoses
OPERATION
Refer to Monitored Systems - EGR Monitor in this
group for more information.
The engines use Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR)
systems. The EGR system reduces oxides of nitrogen
(NOx) in engine exhaust and helps prevent detona-
tion (engine knock). Under normal operating condi-
tions, engine cylinder temperature can reach more
than 3000ÉF. Formation of NOx increases proportion-
ally with combustion temperature. To reduce the
emission of these oxides, the cylinder temperature
must be lowered. The system allows a predetermined
amount of hot exhaust gas to recirculate and dilute
the incoming air/fuel mixture. The diluted air/fuel
mixture reduces peak flame temperature during com-
bustion.
The electric EGR transducer contains an electri-
cally operated solenoid and a back-pressure trans-
ducer (Fig. 2). The Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
operates the solenoid. The PCM determines when toenergize the solenoid. Exhaust system back-pressure
controls the transducer.
When the PCM energizes the solenoid, vacuum
does not reach the transducer. Vacuum flows to the
transducer when the PCM de-energizes the solenoid.
When exhaust system back-pressure becomes high
enough, it fully closes a bleed valve in the trans-
ducer. When the PCM de-energizes the solenoid and
back-pressure closes the transducer bleed valve, vac-
uum flows through the transducer to operate the
EGR valve.
