GENERAL INFORMATION
GENERAL INFORMATION
Each vehicle is equipped with various lamp assemblies. A good ground is necessary for proper lighting
operation. Grounding is provided by the lamp socket
when it comes in contact with the metal body, or
through a separate ground wire.
When changing lamp bulbs check the socket for
corrosion. If corrosion is present, clean it with a wire
brush and coat the inside of the socket lightly with
Mopar Multi-Purpose Grease or equivalent.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: EYE PROTECTION SHOULD BE USED
WHEN SERVICING GLASS COMPONENTS. PERSONAL INJURY CAN RESULT.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES ................ 1
SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS ...................... 1
When it is necessary to remove components to service another, it should not be necessary to apply
excessive force or bend a component to remove it.
Before damaging a trim component, verify hidden
fasteners or captured edges are not holding the component in place.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES
When a vehicle experiences problems with the
headlamp system, verify the condition of the battery
connections, fuses, charging system, headlamp bulbs,
wire connectors, relay, high beam switch, dimmer
switch, and headlamp switch. Refer to Group 8W,
Wiring Diagrams for component locations and circuit
information.
CAUTION: Do not touch the glass of halogen bulbs
with fingers or other possibly oily surface, reduced
bulb life will result.
Do not use bulbs with higher candle power than
indicated in the Bulb Application table at the end of
this group. Damage to lamp and/or Daytime Running Lamp Module can result.
Do not use fuses, circuit breakers or relays having greater amperage value than indicated on the
fuse panel or in the Owners Manual.
SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS
HEADLAMP
Always begin any diagnosis by testing all of the
fuses and circuit breakers in the system. Refer to
Group 8W, Wiring Diagrams.
Conventional and halogen headlamps are interchangeable. It is recommended that they not be
intermixed on a given vehicle.

(1) Ensure headlamps operate before proceeding.
(2) Remove, inspect and test the HDLP delay 10
amp fuse in junction box. Replace if defective.
(3) With the key off and the connector disconnected, measure the resistance from the delay module connector, terminal 4 to vehicle body ground. The
ohmmeter should indicate zero ohms. If not, repair
the open circuit in the wire harness to vehicle body
ground.
(4) With the key on measure the voltage between
the delay module connector, terminal 8 and vehicle
body ground. The voltmeter should indicate battery
voltage. If not, repair the open circuit in the wire
harness from ignition switch to HDLP delay module.
(5) Turn headlamps on and measure voltage at
delay module connector, terminal 6. The voltmeter
should indicate battery voltage. If not repair open circuit between L2 and HDLP delay module.
(6) Measure the voltage between the delay module
connector, terminal 2 and vehicle body ground. The

GENERAL INFORMATION
HEADLAMP ALIGNMENT
Headlamps can be aligned using the screen method
provided in this section. Alignment Tool C-4466-A or
equivalent can also be used. Refer to instructions
provided with the tool for proper procedures.
SERVICE PROCEDURES
LAMP ALIGNMENT SCREEN PREPARATION
(1) Position vehicle on a level surface perpendicular to a flat wall 7.62 meters (25 ft) away from front
of headlamp lens (Fig. 1).

(2) If necessary, tape a line on the floor 7.62
meters (25 ft) away from and parallel to the wall.
(3) Measure from the floor up 1.27 meters (5 ft)
and tape a line on the wall at the centerline of the
vehicle. Sight along the centerline of the vehicle
(from rear of vehicle forward) to verify accuracy of
the line placement.
(4) Rock vehicle side-to-side three times to allow
suspension to stabilize.
(5) Jounce front suspension three times by pushing
downward on front bumper and releasing.
(6) Measure the distance from the center of headlamp lens to the floor. Transfer measurement to the
alignment screen (with tape). Use this line for
up/down adjustment reference.
Fig. 1 Headlamp Alignment Screen—Typical
Page 6
8L - 6 LAMPS XJ
SERVICE PROCEDURES (Continued)
(7) Measure distance from the centerline of the
vehicle to the center of each headlamp being aligned.
Transfer measurements to screen (with tape) to each
side of vehicle centerline. Use these lines for left/
right adjustment reference.
VEHICLE PREPARATION FOR HEADLAMP ALIGNMENT
(1) Verify headlamp dimmer switch and high beam
indicator operation.
(2) Correct defective components that could hinder
proper headlamp alignment.
(3) Verify proper tire inflation.
(4) Clean headlamp lenses.
(5) Verify that luggage area is not heavily loaded.
(6) Fuel tank should be FULL. Add 2.94 kg (6.5
lbs.) of weight over the fuel tank for each estimated
gallon of missing fuel.
HEADLAMP ADJUSTMENT
Headlamps can be aligned using the screen
method. The Headlamp Alignment Tool C-4466-A or
equivalent can also be used. Refer to instructions
provided with the tool for proper procedures.
A properly aimed low beam will project the top
edge of the beam intensity pattern on the screen
from 25 mm (1 in.) above to 75 mm (3 in.) below
headlamp centerline. The side-to-side left edge of the
beam intensity pattern should be from 50 mm (2 in.)
left to 50 mm (2 in.) right of headlamp centerline
(Fig. 2).
(1) Remove screws and both headlamp bezels.
(2) Clean front of the headlamps.
(3) Place headlamps on LOW beam.
(4) Cover front of the headlamp that is not being
adjusted.
(5) Turn vertical adjustment screw (Fig. 3) until
the headlamp beam pattern on screen/wall is similar
to the pattern depicted in the alignment screen figure.
within the headlamp the alignment screen target
(Fig. 2).
(8) Cover front of headlamp that has been adjusted
and adjust the other headlamp beam as instructed
above.
(9) Install headlamp bezels. Tighten the screws
securely.
Fig. 2 Headlamp Alignment Screen Target
NOTE: When using a headlamp aiming screen,
adjust the headlamps so that:
• The left edge of the beam intensity pattern is
positioned within 50 mm (2 in.) left to 50 mm (2 in.)
right of the vertical centerline (Fig. 2).
• The top edge of the beam intensity pattern is
positioned within 25 mm (1 in.) above or 75 mm (3
in.) below the headlamp horizontal centerline (Fig.
2).
(6) Cover front of the headlamp and adjust the
other headlamp beam as instructed below.
(7) Rotate the adjustment screws until the beam
intensity pattern on the aiming screen/wall is aligned
Fig. 3 Headlamp Beam Adjustment Screws
FOG LAMP ADJUSTMENT
Prepare an alignment screen. A properly aligned
fog lamp will project a pattern on the alignment
screen 100 mm (4 in.) below the fog lamp centerline
and straight ahead (Fig. 4).
Rotate the adjustment screw to adjust beam height
(Fig. 5).

SENTINEL HEADLAMP DELAY MODULE ......16
GENERAL INFORMATION
SENTINEL HEADLAMP DELAY MODULE
The Headlamp Module delays the de-activation of
the headlamps for 45 6 15 seconds after the ignition
switch is turned OFF. The driver engages the module
by turning the ignition switch OFF, then turning the
headlamps OFF.
DAYTIME RUNNING LAMP MODULE
The Daytime Running Lights (Headlamps) System
is installed on vehicles manufactured for sale in Canada only. The headlamps are illuminated when the
ignition switch is turned to the ON position and the
vehicle is put into motion. The DRL module receives
a vehicle-moving signal from the vehicle speed sensor. This provides a constant headlamps-on condition as long as the vehicle is moving. The lamps are
illuminated at approximately 30 percent of normal
intensity.
