Accessory Delay Relay: Description and Operation
ACCESSORY RELAY
The accessory relay works in conjunction with the FCM's power accessory delay feature to control

the operation of the radio, power windows, washer motors, wiper motors and power outlet. The
accessory relay is turned ON through low side control on pin 35 of the FCM. This circuit is
electronically controlled and continuously monitored for malfunctions. Depending on the ignition
switch position, the accessory relay will remain ON or will time-out and turn OFF. The accessory
relay remains ON in the RUN and ACCY positions of the ignition switch. In the UNLK and OFF
positions, the relay will remain energized for 45 seconds then turn OFF. During this time-out period,
if the driver or passenger doors are opened, the relay will turn OFF immediately while the ignition
switch is in the START position, the relay will also drop-out, then resume operation. Accessory
relay operation is most noticeable by observing the operation of the radio or blower functions.

Alarm Module: Description and Operation
SENTRY KEY IMMOBILIZER MODULE
The Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM) contains a Radio Frequency (RF) transceiver and a

microprocessor. The SKIM retains in memory the ID numbers of any Sentry Key that is
programmed to it. The maximum number of keys that may be programmed to each module is eight
(8). The SKIM also communicates over the PCI bus with the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), the
Body Control Module (BCM), and the DRB III scan tool. The SKIM transmits and receives RF
signals through a tuned antenna enclosed within a molded plastic ring formation that is integral to
the SKIM housing. When the SKIM is properly installed on the steering column, the antenna ring
fits snugly around the circumference of the ignition lock cylinder housing. If this ring is not mounted
properly, communication problems may arise in the form of transponder-related faults.

For added system security, each SKIM is programmed with a unique "Secret Key" code. This code
is stored in memory and is sent over the PCI bus to the PCM and to each key that is programmed
to work with the vehicle. The "Secret Key" code is therefore a common element found in all
components of the Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS). In the event that a SKIM replacement is
required, the "Secret Key" code can be restored from the PCM by following the SKIM replacement
procedure found in the DRB III scan tool. Proper completion of this task will allow the existing
ignition keys to be reprogrammed. Therefore, new keys will NOT be needed. In the event that the
original "Secret Key" code can not be recovered, new ignition keys will be required. The DRB III
scan tool will alert the technician if key replacement is necessary. Another security code, called a
PIN, is used to gain secured access to the SKIM for service. The SKIM also stores in its memory
the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), which it learns through a bus message from the assembly
plant tester. The SKIS scrambles the information that is communicated between its components in
order to reduce the possibility of unauthorized SKIM access and/or disabling.

When the ignition switch is moved to the RUN position, the SKIM transmits an RF signal to the
transponder in the ignition key. The SKIM then waits for a response RF signal from the transponder
in the key. If the response received identifies the key as valid, the SKIM sends a "valid key"
message to the PCM over the PCI bus. If the response received identifies the key as invalid or no
response is received from the transponder in the ignition key, the SKIM sends an "invalid key"
message to the PCM. The PCM will enable or disable engine operation based upon the status of
the SKIM messages. It is important to note that the default condition in the PCM is "invalid key."
Therefore, if no response is received by the PCM, the engine will be immobilized after two (2)
seconds of running.

The SKIM also sends indicator light status messages to the BCM to operate the light. This is the
method used to turn the light ON solid or to flash it after the indicator light test is complete to signify
a fault in the SKIS. If the light comes ON and stays ON solid after the indicator light test, this
signifies that the SKIM has detected a system malfunction and/or that the SKIS has become
inoperative. If the SKIM detects an invalid key OR a key-related fault exists, the indicator light will
flash following the indicator light test. The SKIM may also request an audible chime if the customer
key programming feature is available and the procedure is being utilized. Refer to Electrical,
Vehicle Theft Security, Transponder Key, Standard Procedure - Transponder Programming.

Door Module: Description and Operation
SLIDING DOOR CONTROL MODULE
Vehicles equipped with a power sliding door utilize a sliding door control module. The sliding door

control module is located behind the sliding door trim panel in the center of the door, just above the
sliding door motor. This module controls the operation of the door through the Programmable
Communication Interface (PCI) J1850 data bus circuit and the Body Control Module. The sliding
door control module contains software technology which enables it to detect resistance to door
travel and to reverse door travel in order to avoid damage to the door or to avoid possible personal
injury if the obstruction is a person. This feature functions in both the opening and closing cycles. If
the power sliding door system develops any problems the control module will store and recall
Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC). The use of a diagnostic scan tool, such as the DRB III is required
to read and troubleshoot these trouble codes. The sliding door control module can be reflashed if
necessary. Refer to the latest Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) Information for any updates.

The power door control module is a replaceable component and cannot be repaired, if found to be
faulty it must be replaced. Consult your Mopar(TM) parts catalog for a specific part number.

The power sliding door control module serves as the main computer for the power sliding side door
system. All power door functions are processed through the power door control module and/or the
vehicles body control module (BCM). At the start of a power open command, a signal is sent to the
BCM and then to the power door control module via the J1850 data bus circuit. This signal,
generated by any of the power door command switches, tells the power door control module to
activate a power latch release, engage the clutch assembly and drive the door into the full open
position. If an obstacle is felt during this power open cycle, the module will reverse direction and
close the door. This process is also enabled during a power close cycle. This process will repeat
three times, and if a fourth obstacle is detected, the door will go into full manual mode. Once the
full open position is obtained, a hold open latch assembly mounted full open switch tells the control
module that the door has reached the full open position. If the power sliding door system develops
any problems the control module will store and recall Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC). The use of
a diagnostic scan tool, such as the DRB III is required to read and troubleshoot these trouble
codes.

SUBJECT: Power Mode Closes Lift Gate But Does Not Open The Lift Gate

NOTE:
THIS BULLETIN SHOULD BE PERFORMED ON ALL IN STOCK VEHICLES BUILT BEFORE

NOVEMBER 13, 2000 (MDH1113XX).
OVERVIEW: This bulletin involves flashing the Power Lift Gate (PLG) module and resetting

obstacle detection values. Adjusting the lift gate striker and/or installing lift gate overslam bumper
shims may also be required.

MODELS:
SYMPTOM/CONDITION: The PLG functions in the power closing mode but not the opening mode.

The lift gate is not flush with the tail lights. Low seal load prevents the lift gate from "popping off"
and moving the lift gate latch out of the primary latching position.

DIAGNOSIS:
DIAGNOSIS 1: Power operate the lift gate to open with the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) Fob or

button in the overhead console. If the lift gate does not move out of the primary latching position,
perform Repair Procedure 1.

DIAGNOSIS 2: Inspect the lift gate for flushness to the body above and below the tail lamps. If the
lift gate is underflush to the body above the tail lamp and underflush or flush below the tail lamp, go
to Procedure 2A. If the lift gate is flush or overflush to the body above and below the tail lamp, go to
Procedure 2B. If the lift gate is flush or underflush to the body above the tail lamps and over flush
below the tail lamp AND the difference is more than 5 mm, go to Procedure 2C.

Power Door Lock Relay: Description and Operation
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 LOCKS The vehicle comes with two options for power door locks:
^ Rolling automatic lock (ENABLE), doors automatically lock at approximately at 25.7 Km/h (16

mph).
^ No rolling automatic lock (DISABLE), doors do not automatically lock when the vehicle is moving.
DOOR LOCK INHIBIT
The BCM cancels out the door lock switch actuation, 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 any of the door lock cylinders. Turning the key to the lock position will lock all the doors. If a
sliding door is open when this is done, the sliding door will lock when it is closed.

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. See: Relays and Modules - Power and Ground Distribution/Relay Box

REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM
The key fob transmitter has six buttons. Three of them, LOCK, UNLOCK, and PANIC, are used to

actuate parts of, and program the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system via the customer
programming mode. It is not necessary to use the PANIC button with the DRB III scan tool mode of
programming. and program the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system via the customer
programming mode. It is not necessary to use the PANIC button with the DRB III® scan tool mode

Power Mirror Control Module: Diagram Information and Instructions

How to Use Wiring Diagrams
DaimlerChrysler Corporation wiring diagrams are designed to provide information regarding the

vehicles wiring content. In order to effectively use the wiring diagrams to diagnose and repair
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles, it is important to understand all of their features and
characteristics.

General Information (Part 1 of 2)
Diagrams are arranged such that the power (B+) side of the circuit is placed near the top of the

page, and the ground (B-) side of the circuit is placed near the bottom of the page (Fig. 1).

Dodge Caravan Fwd Workshop Manual (V6-3.3L VIN 3 Flex Fuel (2001))
Dodge Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Body and Frame > Power Mirror Control Module
> Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 83

General Information (Part 2 of 2)

All switches, components, and modules are shown in the at rest position with the doors closed and
the key removed from the ignition (Fig. 2).

Components are shown two ways. A solid line around a component indicates that the component is
complete. A dashed line around the component indicates that the component is being shown is not
complete. Incomplete components have a reference number to indicate the page where the
component is shown complete.

It is important to realize that no attempt is made on the diagrams to represent components and
wiring as they appear on the vehicle. For example, a short

Dodge Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Body and Frame > Power Mirror Control Module
> Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 84

piece of wire is treated the same as a long one. In addition, switches and other components are
shown as simply as possible, with regard to function only.

Circuit Functions
Circuit Identification Code Chart
All circuits in the diagrams use an alpha/numeric code to identify the wire and its function. To

identify which circuit code applies to a system, refer to the Circuit Identification Code Chart. This
chart shows the main circuits only and does not show the secondary codes that may apply to some
models.

Circuit Information

Wire Code Identification
Wire Color Code Chart
Each wire shown in the diagrams contains a code which identifies the main circuit, part of the main

circuit, gauge of wire, and color.
Connector, Ground and Splice Information
CAUTION: Not all connectors are serviced. Some connectors are serviced only with a harness. A

typical example might be the Supplemental Restraint System connectors. Always check parts
availability before attempting a repair.

IDENTIFICATION
Connectors, grounds, and splices are identified as follows: ­In-line connectors located in the engine compartment are C100 series numbers

- In-line connectors located in the Instrument Panel area are C200 series numbers.

- In-line connectors located in the body are C300 series numbers.

> Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 86

- Jumper harness connectors are C400 series numbers.

- Grounds and ground connectors are identified with a "G" and follow the same series numbering
as the in-line connectors.

- Splices are identified with an "S" and follow the same series numbering as the in-line connectors.

- Component connectors are identified by the component name instead of a number. Multiple
connectors on a component use a C1, C2, etc. identifier.

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Sensitive Devices
Electrostatic Discharge Symbol
All ESD sensitive components are solid state and a symbol is used to indicate this. When handling

any component with this symbol comply with the following procedures to reduce the possibility of
electrostatic charge build up on the body and inadvertent discharge into the component. If it is not
known whether the part is ESD sensitive, assume that it is.

1. Always touch a known good ground before handling the part. This should be repeated while
handling the part and more frequently after sliding

across a seat, sitting down from a standing position, or walking a distance.

2. Avoid touching electrical terminals of the part, unless instructed to do so by a written procedure.

3. When using a voltmeter, be sure to connect the ground lead first. 4. Do not remove the part from
its protective packing until it is time to install the part. 5. Before removing the part from its package,
ground the package to a known good ground on the vehicle.

Notes, Cautions and Warnings
Additional important information is presented in three ways: Notes, Cautions, and Warnings.
NOTES are used to help describe how switches or components operate to complete a particular

circuit. They are also used to indicate different conditions that may appear on the vehicle. For
example, an up-to and after condition.

CAUTIONS are used to indicate information that could prevent making an error that may damage
the vehicle.

WARNINGS provide information to prevent personal injury and vehicle damage. Below is a list of
general warnings that should be followed any time a vehicle is being serviced.

WARNING:

- ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES FOR EYE PROTECTION.

- USE SAFETY STANDS ANYTIME A PROCEDURE REQUIRES BEING UNDER A VEHICLE.

Section Identification and Information
Section Identification
The wiring diagrams are grouped into individual sections. If a component is most likely found in a

particular group, it will be shown complete (all wires, connectors, and pins) within that group. For
example, the Auto Shutdown Relay is most likely to be found in Group 30, so it is shown there
complete. It can, however, be shown partially in another group if it contains some associated
wiring.
