VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY
DESCRIPTION
VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY SYSTEM
The Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS) is
designed to protect against whole vehicle theft. The
system monitors vehicle doors, and ignition action for
unauthorized operation (hood and liftgate for RG -
Export). The alarm activates:
²Sounding of the horn
²Flashing of the headlamps/park/tail lamps
²Flashing of the headlamps
²An engine kill feature (with SKREES)
SENTRY KEY REMOTE ENTRY SYSTEM
The Sentry Key Remote Entry System (SKREES)
is available as a factory-installed option on this vehi-
cle. It is designed to provide passive protection
against unauthorized vehicle use by disabling the
engine, after two (2) seconds of running, whenever an
invalid key is used to start the vehicle. The SKIS is
active whenever the ignition is on and does not
require any customer intervention. The primary com-
ponents of the system are the Sentry Key Remote
Entry Module (SKREEM), Sentry Key (ignition key
with a transponder molded into the head), indicator
light, Body Control Module (BCM), and the Power-
train Control Module (PCM). The SKREEM is
mounted to the steering column with the molded,
integral antenna mounted on the ignition housing.
The indicator light, is located in the Mechanical
Instrument Cluster (MIC).
OPERATION
VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY SYSTEM
Upon failure of proper Sentry Key Remote Entry
Module (SKREEM) communication to the PCM, the
PCM will shut off fuel after two seconds of run time.
The engine will not re-crank on the key cycle that
the failure occurred, a full key down sequence must
be performed for the engine to crank again. After six
consecutive fuel shut-offs, the engine will no longer
crank on subsequent key cycles. The failure must be
corrected and a valid communication process between
the SKREEM and the PCM must occur for the
engine to crank and start again.
The electronics for the VTSS are part of the Body
Control Module (BCM). The system is armed when
the vehicle is locked using the:
²Power door lock switches (with any door ajar)
²Remote Keyless Entry transmitter.
²Door Cylinder Lock Switches (RG only).
For vehicles equipped with Sentry Key Remote
Entry System (SKREES), the doors do not have to be
locked to enable the fuel shut off feature.
After the vehicle is locked and the last door is
closed, the set LED indicator in the Mechanical
Instrument Cluster (MIC) will flash quickly for 16
seconds, indicating that arming is in progress. If no
monitored systems are activated during this period,
the system will arm. The LED will extinguish unless
the liftgate is open. If the liftgate is open, the LED
will flash at a slower rate. This indicates that the
system is armed.
RG Only- If fault is detected on the driver key
cylinder input, the indicator LED will remain solid

FRONT CRADLE
CROSSMEMBER
DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION - FRONT CRADLE
CROSSMEMBER
This vehicle uses a one piece cast aluminum cradle
for the front cradle crossmember. The cradle cross-
member is used as the attaching points for the lower
control arms, stabilizer bar and steering gear. The
cradle also has the power steering hoses and the
chassis brake tubes attached to it.
WARNING: If a threaded hole in the suspension cra-
dle needs to be repaired, only use the type of
thread insert and installation procedure specified
for this application.
The threaded holes in the front cradle crossmem-
ber that are used for attachment of the lower control
arm rear bushing retainer, power steering hose and
chassis brake tubes can be repaired. The repair is
done by the installation of a Heli-Coiltthread insert
which has been specifically developed for this appli-
cation. Refer to the Mopar Parts Catalog for the spec-
ified Heli-Coiltthread insert to be used for this
application. The procedure for installing the Heli-
Coiltthread insert is detailed in the Service Proce-
dures section in this group of the service manual.

CROSSMEMBER THREAD REPAIR
WARNING: When performing this procedure use
only the thread inserts which are specified in the
Mopar Parts Catalog for this repair procedure.
These thread inserts have been specifically devel-
oped for this application and use of other types of
thread inserts can result in an inferior long term
repair.The threaded holes in the front cradle crossmem-
ber, if damaged, can repaired by installing a Heli-
Coiltthread insert.
The threaded holes that are repairable using the
thread insert, are the lower control arm rear bushing
retainer mounting bolt holes, routing bracket attach-
ing locations for the power steering hoses, and brake
hose attachment holes.
This repair procedure now allows the threaded
holes in the cradle crossmember to be repaired, elim-
inating the need to replace the cradle crossmember if
damage occurs to one of the threaded holes.
The thread inserts for this application are specified
by part number in the Mopar Parts Catalog.Do not
use a substitute thread insert.
The specific tools and equipment required to install
the thread insert are listed below. Refer to the
instructions included with the thread insert for the
detailed procedure used for the installation of the
thread insert.
NOTE: The thread inserts for this application are for
the repair of M8x1.25 and M10x1.5 threads. Be sure
the correct tools are used for the required thread
insert size.

REMOVAL
(1) Using paint or grease pencil, mark outline of
cradle crossmember on frame rails.
(2) Loosen bolts attaching crossmember to frame
rails.
(3) Remove bolt on bushing that requires replace-
ment.
(4) Allow cradle crossmember to drop down enough
to gain clearance for bushing removal.
(5) Remove bushing from vehicle.
INSTALLATION
(1) Apply rubber lubrication or soap to replace-
ment bushing.(2) Insert lower half of bushing into square hole in
cradle crossmember.
(3) Place upper half of bushing on top of cross-
member aligned to receive square tube protruding
upward from lower bushing half.
(4) Squeeze bushing halves together to ensure they
are properly mated.
(5) Lift cradle crossmember upward to close gap
between the bushing and frame.
(6) Verify that lower bushing is fully seated into
cradle crossmember and upper bushing.
(7) Install bolt attaching bushing and crossmember
to frame rail hand tight.
(8) Align cradle crossmember to reference marks
on frame rails.
(9) Tighten cradle crossmember to frame rails
attaching bolts to 163 N´m (120 ft. lbs.) torque.

ENGINE SPEED SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
The PCM receives a signal from the TCM to indi-
cate vehicle speed on automatic transmission cars.
On 4 cylinder Manual transmission cars (if equipped)
vehicle, a dedicated vehicle speed sensor is connectedto the PCM.On V-6 Manual transmission cars (if
equipped) vehicle, the ABS module provides the sig-
nal to the PCM for vehicle speed.
OPERATION
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) supplies
the road speed and distance traveled inputs to the
PCM. From these inputs and the throttle position
sensor input, the PCM determines when a decelera-
tion condition occurs.
FUEL INJECTOR
DESCRIPTION
The injectors are positioned in the intake manifold
or cylinder head with the nozzle ends directly above
the intake valve port (Fig. 10).
OPERATION
The fuel injectors are 12 volt electrical solenoids
(Fig. 11). The injector contains a pintle that closes off
an orifice at the nozzle end. When electric current is
supplied to the injector, the armature and needle
move a short distance against a spring, allowing fuel
to flow out the orifice. Because the fuel is under high
pressure, a fine spray is developed in the shape of a
hollow cone or two streams. The spraying action
atomizes the fuel, adding it to the air entering the
combustion chamber. Fuel injectors are not inter-
changeable between engines.
The PCM provides battery voltage to each injector
through the ASD relay. Injector operation is con-
trolled by a ground path provided for each injector by
the PCM. Injector on-time (pulse-width) is variable,
