DESCRIPTION
POWER DOOR LOCK SYSTEM
The front doors, sliding door(s) and liftgate are
equipped with actuator motors to lock or unlock the
latch mechanisms. The door lock actuator motor is
not serviced separately from the door latch, except
for the sliding door(s).
AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCK
The vehicle comes with two options for power door
locks:
²Rolling automatic lock (ENABLE), doors auto-
matically lock at approximately at 25.7 Km/h (16
mph).
²No rolling automatic lock (DISABLE), doors do
not automatically lock when the vehicle is moving.
AUTOMATIC DOOR UNLOCK
The doors will unlock automatically on vehicles
equipped with power door locks if:
²Auto door locks feature is enabled and automatic
unlock is enabled.²The transmission was in gear and speed was
above zero.
²The transmission in park or neutral and speed
is zero.
²Any door (excluding liftgate) opens.
DOOR LOCK INHIBIT
The BCM cancels out the door lock switch actua-
tion, when the key is in the Ignition Switch and
either front door is open.
Pressing the key fob RKE lock/unlock under these
conditions results in normal lock/unlock activation.
CENTRAL LOCKING
If equipped with Vehicle Theft Security System
(VTSS), all the doors can be locked with the key by
using the driver door lock cylinder. Turning the key
to the lock position will lock all the doors.
DOOR LOCK CIRCUIT PROTECTION
The door lock system is protected by a 40 amp fuse
located in the IPM. The BCM receives lock/unlock
input and will turn on the appropriate drivers and
provide a voltage level to the door lock motor for a
specific time. The IPM is located along the side of the
vehicle battery in the engine compartment.

AUTOMATIC DAY / NIGHT
MIRROR
DESCRIPTION
An automatic dimming inside day/night rear view
mirror and an automatic dimming driver side outside
rear view mirror are available factory-installed
options on this model. Following is a general descrip-
tion of this optional equipment.
The automatic day/night mirror is able to automat-
ically change its reflectance. A thin layer of electro-
chromic material between two pieces of conductive
glass make up the face of the mirror. Two photocell
sensors are used to monitor light levels and adjust
the reflectance of the mirror to reduce the glare of
headlamps approaching the vehicle from the rear.
For removal procedures, (Refer to 23 - BODY/IN-
TERIOR/REAR VIEW MIRROR - REMOVAL).
OPERATION
The ambient photocell sensor faces forward, to
detect the outside light levels. A second sensor faces
rearward to detect the light level received through
the vehicles back window. When the difference
between the two light levels becomes too great (the
light level received at the rear of the mirror is much
higher than that at the front of the mirror), the mir-
ror begins to darken.
The mirror switch allows the driver a manual con-
trol of whether the automatic dimming feature is
operational. When AUTO is selected a small Light-
Emitting Diode (LED), to the right of the mirror
switch, is illuminated. The automatic dimming fea-
ture will only operate when the ignition switch is in
the On position. The mirror also senses the backup
lamp circuit, and will automatically disable its self-
dimming feature whenever the transmission gear
selector is in the Reverse position.
NOTE: The mirror always defaults to an ON state
upon ignition.
The driver side automatic dimming mirror is stan-
dard with the automatic dimming inside mirror. The
signal to control the dimming of that mirror is gen-
erated by the automatic day/night inside rear view
mirror circuitry. That signal is then delivered to the
driver side outside rear view mirror on a hard wired
circuit.
The automatic day/night mirror cannot be
repaired. If faulty or damaged, the entire inside rear
view mirror assembly must be replaced.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - AUTOMATIC DAY /
NIGHT MIRROR
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, details of wire harness
routing and retention, connector pin-out information
and location views for the various wire harness con-
nectors, splices and grounds.
(1) Check the fuse in the intelligent power module.
If OK, go to Step 2. If not OK, repair the shorted cir-
cuit or component as required and replace the faulty
fuse.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the On position.
Check for battery voltage at the fuse in the intelli-
gent power module. If OK, go to Step 3. If not OK,
repair the open circuit to the ignition switch as
required.
(3) Unplug the wire harness connector from the
automatic day/night mirror. Check for battery voltage
at the fused ignition switch output circuit cavity of
the automatic day/night mirror wire harness connec-
tor. If OK, go to Step 4. If not OK, repair the open
circuit to the junction block as required.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the Off position.
Check for continuity between the ground circuit cav-
ity of the automatic day/night mirror wire harness
connector and a good ground. There should be conti-
nuity. If OK, go to Step 5. If not OK, repair the cir-
cuit to ground as required.
(5) Turn the ignition switch to the On position. Set
the parking brake. Place the transmission gear selec-
tor lever in the Reverse position. Check for battery
voltage at the backup lamp switch output circuit cav-
ity of the automatic day/night mirror wire harness
connector. If voltage is present, reinstall the auto-
matic day/night mirror wire harness connector and
go to Step 6. If not OK, repair the open circuit as
required.
(6) Place the transmission gear selector lever in
the Neutral position. Place the automatic day/night
mirror switch in the On (LED in the switch is
lighted) position. Cover the forward facing ambient
photocell sensor to keep out any ambient light.
NOTE: The ambient photocell sensor must be cov-
ered completely, so that no light reaches the sen-
sor. Use a finger pressed tightly against the sensor,
or cover the sensor completely with electrical tape.
(7)
Shine a light into the rearward facing headlamp
photocell sensor. The automatic day/night mirror
should darken. The automatic day/night mirror should
darken within 2 minutes if testing for the first time.
For immediate response, turn the vehicle OFF and
back ON with the forward-facing light sensor still cov-

tions for the major components in the power seat
system and memory seat system.
DESCRIPTION - MEMORY SYSTEM
An electronic memory system is available on some
models. The memory system is able to store and
recall the driver side power seat positions (including
the power recliner position) and both outside side
view mirrors positions for two drivers. On vehicles
equipped with a factory radio, the memory system is
also able to store and recall radio station presets fortwo 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 preset stations.
The memory system will automatically return to
its preset settings when the corresponding numbered
button of the memory switch is depressed, or when
the doors are unlocked using the corresponding
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter. A customer
programmable feature of the memory system allows
the RKE recall of memory features to be disabled, if
desired. This programmable feature is internal in the
EVIC module, which is located in the overhead con-
sole.
A Memory Seat Mirror Module (MSMM) is used on
some models to control and integrate the many elec-
tronic functions and features included in the memory
seat and mirror systems.
The memory system includes the following compo-
nents:
²Memory Seat Mirror Module (MSMM)
²Memory set switch
²Position potentiometers on both outside side
view mirrors
²Position potentiometers on the driver side power
seat track and power seat recliner motors.
²Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)
²Radio receiver (if PCI data bus capable).
Certain functions of the memory system rely upon
resources shared with other electronic modules in the
vehicle over the Programmable Communications
Interface (PCI) J1850 data bus network. The PCI
data bus network allows the sharing of sensor infor-
mation. This helps to reduce wire harness complexity,
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 capabilities.
Initial diagnosis of these electronic modules or the
PCI data bus network requires the use of a DRBIIIt
scan tool and the proper Diagnostic Procedures man-
ual. If this method does not prove conclusive, the use
of a automotive meter such as the Fluket, the proper
wiring schematics and the service manual diagnostic
routines are required.

POWER SEAT SYSTEM (Continued)

NOTE: Turning the system off by depressing the
OFF switch or turning off the ignition switch will
erase the set speed stored in the PCM.
For added safety, the speed control system is pro-
grammed to disengage for any of the following condi-
tions:
²An indication of Park or Neutral
²A rapid increase rpm (indicates that the clutch
has been disengaged)
²Excessive engine rpm (indicates that the trans-
mission may be in a low gear)
²The speed signal increases at a rate of 10 mph
per second (indicates that the co-efficient of friction
between the road surface and tires is extremely low)
²The speed signal decreases at a rate of 10 mph
per second (indicates that the vehicle may have
decelerated at an extremely high rate)
²If the actual speed is greater than 20 mph over
the set speed.
²Autostick shifts into 1st or 2nd gear (autostick,
if equipped)
Once the speed control has been disengaged,
depressing the RESUME switch when speed is
greater than 20 mph allows the vehicle to resume
control to the target speed that was stored in the
PCM.
While the speed control is engaged, the driver can
increase the vehicle speed by depressing the ACCEL
switch. The new target speed is stored in the PCM
when the ACCEL switch is released. The PCM also
has a9tap-up9feature in which target speed
increases by 2 mph for each momentary switch acti-
vation of the ACCEL switch. The PCM also provides
a means to decelerate to a new lower target speed
without disengaging speed control. Depress and hold
the COAST switch until the desired speed is reached,
then release the switch.
The PCM also has a ªTap Downº feature in which
target speed decreases at 1 mph for each momentary
switch activation of the coast switch.
OPERATION - INTERACTIVE SPEED CONTROL
(4 Speed EATX Only)
Interactive means that communication between the
PCM and the TCM is taking place, this communica-
tion is internal to the PCM on NGC vehicles. Inter-
active speed control avoids unnecessary shifting for
smoother, quieter operation and when downshifts are
required, makes the shifts smoother.
CLIMBING A GRADE
DESCRIPTION
When climbing a grade the interactive speed con-
trol tries to maintain the set speed by increasing the
throttle opening, while inhibiting/delaying down-
shifts.
OPERATION
If opening the throttle alone cannot maintain the
set speed and the vehicle speed drops more than
three mph below the set speed, the transmission will
downshift to third gear. If the vehicle continues to
lose speed, by more than 6 mph, the transmission
will downshift again to maintain the set speed. After
the vehicle encounters a less-steep grade, or has
crested the grade (reduced the load on the power-
train) and can maintain the set speed at a reduced
throttle position, the transmission will upshift, as
appropriate, until the set speed can be maintained in
Overdrive.
GRADE HUNTING
DESCRIPTION
All vehicles equipped with a four speed automatic
transmission have a grade hunting feature for the
2nd to 3rd gear upshift and the 3rd to Overdrive
upshift.
OPERATION
The TCM (on SBEC vehicles) (PCM on NGC vehi-
cles) identifies the powertrain loading conditions and
selects the proper gear to maintain the current vehi-
cle speed. Under moderate loading conditions the
transaxle will stay in 3rd gear until the top of the
grade is reached or the powertrain loading is
reduced.
If powertrain loading is severe, the transaxle may
shift into 2nd gear and remain there until power-
train loading is reduced, then a 2nd to 3rd gear
upshift will be scheduled. Grade hunting features
always operate regardless of whether or not the
interactive speed control is engaged.If the interac-
tive speed control is not engaged and power-
train loading is not reduced, the driver may
have to completely lift off of the throttle before
an upshift will occur. If the driver does lift off the
throttle to induce an upshift under these conditions,
vehicle speed will reduce and the Overdrive to 3rd
and 3rd to 2nd gear downshifts will reoccur when the
throttle is reapplied. If grade hunting is repeatedly
induced by the driver, transaxle damage may result.
8P - 2 SPEED CONTROLRS
SPEED CONTROL (Continued)

AUTOMATIC SPEED CONTROL OVERSPEED
REDUCTION
DESCRIPTION
Transmission control software includes an auto-
matic speed control overspeed reduction feature. This
maintains vehicle speed at the selected set point
when descending a grade.
OPERATION
The TCM (on SBEC vehicles) (PCM on NGC vehi-
cles) first senses that the speed control is set. If the
set speed is exceeded by more than 4 mph (6.5
km/hr) and the throttle is closed, the TCM (on SBEC
vehicles) (PCM on NGC vehicles) causes the trans-
axle to downshift to THIRD gear. After downshifting,
the automatic speed control resumes normal opera-
tion. To ensure that an upshift is appropriate after
the set speed is reached, the TCM (on SBEC vehi-
cles) (PCM on NGC vehicles) waits until the speed
control system opens the throttle at least 6 degrees
before upshifting to OVERDRIVE again.
If the driver applies the brakes, canceling auto-
matic speed control operation with the transaxle still
in THIRD gear, the TCM (on SBEC vehicles) (PCM
on NGC vehicles) maintains this gear until the driver
opens the throttle at least 6 degrees to avoid an inap-
propriate upshift. The upshift is also delayed for 2.5
seconds after reaching the 6 degrees throttle opening
in anticipation that the driver might open the throt-
tle enough to require THIRD gear. This will avoid
unnecessary and disturbing transmission cycling. If
the automatic speed control RESUME feature is used
after braking, the upshift is delayed until the set
speed is achieved to reduce cycling and provide bet-
ter response.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - ROAD TEST
Perform a vehicle road test to verify reports of
speed control system malfunction. The road test
should include attention to the speedometer. Speed-
ometer operation should be smooth and without flut-
ter at all speeds.
Flutter in the speedometer indicates a problem
which might cause surging in the speed control sys-
tem. The cause of any speedometer problems should
be corrected before proceeding. Refer to the Instru-
ment Cluster for speedometer diagnosis.
If a road test verifies an inoperative system, and
the speedometer operates properly, check for:
²A Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC). If a DTC
exists, conduct tests per the Powertrain Diagnostic
Procedures manual.
²A misadjusted brake (stop) lamp switch. This
could also cause an intermittent problem.
²Loose or corroded electrical connections at the
servo. Corrosion should be removed from electrical
terminals and a light coating of Mopar Multipurpose
Grease, or equivalent, applied.
²Leaking vacuum reservoir.
²Loose or leaking vacuum hoses or connections.
²Defective one-way vacuum check valve.
²Secure attachment at both ends of the speed
control servo cable.
²Smooth operation of throttle linkage and throttle
body air valve.
²Conduct electrical test at PCM.
²Failed speed control servo. Do the servo vacuum
test.
CAUTION: When test probing for voltage or conti-
nuity at electrical connectors, care must be taken
not to damage connector, terminals or seals. If
these components are damaged, intermittent or
complete system failure may occur.
