Keyless Entry Module: Service and RepairService Procedures

1. Retrieve the programming line from the upper edge of the passenger side cowl trim panel. The RKE Programming Line is a green wire with a red bullet connector

2. Using a jumper wire, ground the RKE programming line.3. Turn ignition switch to the ON position.4. Press any button on the transmitter to set code. The locks will cycle to confirm programming. If there is a second transmitter it must be set at this time. Press any button on the second transmitter and wait for the locks to cycle to confirm programming.

5. Disconnect the programming line from ground. This returns the system to its normal operation mode.6. Replace all removed components. Return programming line to its original position. Check for system operation.

ABS Main Relay: Description and Operation

ABS FUSES

(PDC)

The fuse for the ABS pump motor and the ABS system are located in the Power Distribution Center . Refer to the sticker on the inside ofthe PDC cover for the location of the ABS pump motor and the ABS system fuse in the PDC. The PDC is located on the drivers side of the enginecompartment between the back of the battery and the strut tower.

ABS RELAYS

(CAB)

On this vehicle three relays are used to control the Teves Mark 20 Antilock Brake System. The three relays are the pump motor relay, the systemrelay, and the ABS yellow warning lamp relay. The pump motor relay and the system relay are located in the Controller Antilock Brake and the ABS yellow warning lamp relay is located in the PDC. If either the pump motor relay or the system relay is diagnosed as not functioningproperly the CAB will need to be replaced. If the ABS yellow warning lamp relay is diagnosed as not functioning properly it can be replaced as aseparated relay in the PDC.

Electronic Brake Control Module: Description and Operation

(CAB)

The Controller Antilock Brake is a microprocessor-based device that monitors wheel speeds and controls the antilock functions. The CABcontains two microprocessors that receive identical sensor signals and then independently process the information. The results are then compared tomake sure that they agree. Otherwise, the CAB will turn off the antilock and turn on the Antilock Brake System amber warning lamp.(ABS)

The primary functions of the CAB are to:

- detect wheel locking tendencies

- control fluid pressure modulation to the brakes during antilock stop

- monitor the system for proper operation

- provide communication to the DRB while in diagnostic mode

- store diagnostic information in non-volatile memory

The CAB continuously monitors the speed of each wheel. When a wheel locking tendency is detected, the CAB will command the appropriate valve tomodulate brake fluid pressure in its hydraulic unit. Brake pedal position is maintained during an antilock stop by being a closed system with the use of 2accumulators. The CAB continues to control pressure in individual hydraulic circuits until a wheel locking tendency is no longer present. The CAB turnson the pump motor during an antilock stop.

The antilock brake system is constantly monitored by the CAB for proper operation If the CAB detects a system malfunction, it can disable the antilocksystem and turn on the ABS warning lamp. If the antilock function is disabled, the system will revert to standard base brake system operation.

CAB Inputs Include The Following:

- ABS Warning Lamp

- Diagnostic Communication

- Four Wheel Speed Sensors

- Ignition Switch

- Fused B+

- Stop Lamp Switch

CAB Outputs Include The Following:

- ABS Warning Light Actuation

- Voltage

- Eight Valves

- Diagnostic Communication

Technical Service Bulletin # 7692

Recall- Radiator Fan Relay

No. 7691 May, 1998 To: All Dodge and Chrysler-Plymouth Dealers

Subject:Emissions Recalls # 7691 and # 7692 -- Radiator Fan Relay

Models:1997 and 1998 Model Year Dodge and Plymouth Neon (PL) Vehicles Built at the Toluca Assembly Plant ("T" in the 11th VIN Position) ThroughSeptember 10, 1997 (MDH 0910XX) and: ^ Currently Located Out of California -- Recall # 7691

^ Currently Located In California -- Recall # 7692

The radiator fan relay on about 45,000 of the above listed vehicles, may not turn on the radiator cooling fans. This may cause the engine to overheat. Inaddition, radiator fan relay operation is monitored by the vehicles On Board Diagnostic (OBD) system. Failure of an OBD monitored component violatesU.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and California Air Resources Board (GARB) emission regulations. To correct this condition, the radiatorfan relay must be replaced and a jumper wire that contains a diode must be installed.
