ABS Main Relay: Description and Operation ABS System Relay
CIRCUIT OPERATION
The system relay is used for the operation of the ABS system. Power for the relay is supplied on
the B57 circuit from cavity 57 of the Controller Anti Lock Brake (CAB).
Ground for the relay is on the Z1 circuit. This ground is spliced in with the pump motor, and
terminates at the right frame rail.
when the system is operating normally, power for the contact side of the relay is supplied from the
CAB on the B57 circuit. It passes through the relay to the Z1 ground and terminates at the right
frame rail. If a problem is detected in the system, the contact side of the relay switches from the Z1
to the A20 circuit. This causes the ABS warning lamp in the instrument cluster to illuminate.

System Relay And Pump Motor Relay Box
SYSTEM RELAY
The main purpose of the system relay is to put the Antilock Brake System (ABS) into a stand-by
mode for ABS operation. The System Relay is energized by the Controller Antilock Brake (CAB)
shortly after the ignition switch is turned on.
When Energized - by the CAB, the System Relay turns off the ABS warning lamp and provides 12
volts to the CAB. This voltage can then be used by the CAB to energize the Decay Solenoids
during ABS braking. When energized, the System Relay also provides the Pump/Motor Relay coil
with 12 volts. The ground path to the Pump/Motor Relay is completed by the CAB during ABS
braking.
When De-energized - the ABS warning lamp is illuminated, voltage to the Decay Solenoids is cut
off, and the Pump/Motor Relay is prevented from energizing. Typically, the System Relay is
de-energized by the CAB when a fault is detected that requires turning ABS off.

System Relay And Pump Motor Relay Box
PURPOSE
Pump/Motor power is supplied by the Pump/Motor Relay. The pump motor relay is also part of the
relay box mounted to the Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU). If pump/motor relay replacement is
required, it is also only serviced by the replacement of the relay box assembly.
FUNCTION
Voltage for the 12 volt side of the relay coil is provided by the System Relay. The ground path
through the relay coil is completed by the Controller Antilock Brake (CAB) during Antilock Brake
System (ABS) braking. The relay contacts are closed when the relay is energized. This provides 12
volts to the pump/motor as needed during ABS braking.

Electronic Brake Control Module: Description and Operation
Controller Antilock Brake Location
PURPOSE
The Controller Antilock Brakes (CAB) is a microprocessor based device which monitors the ABS
system during normal braking and controls it when in an ABS stop. The CAB is mounted in the right
front corner of the engine compartment using an integral mounting bracket to attach it to the inner
fender. The CAB uses a 60 way electrical connector on the vehicle wiring harness. The power
source for the CAB is through the ignition switch in the Run or ON position.
NOTE: The CAB is not on the Chrysler Collision Detection (CCD) bus.
THE PRIMARY FUNCTIONS OF THE CAB
- Detect wheel locking tendencies.
- Control fluid modulation to the brakes while in ABS mode.
- Monitor the system for proper operation.
- Provide communication to the DRB scan tool while in diagnostic mode.
The CAB Continuously Monitors - the speed of each wheel through the signals generated at the
Wheel Speed Sensors to determine if any wheel is beginning to lock. When a wheel locking
tendency is detected, the CAB commands the Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU) to modulate brake fluid
pressure in some or all of the hydraulic circuits. The CAB continues to control pressure in individual
hydraulic circuits until a locking tendency is no longer present.
The ABS System Is Constantly Monitored - by the CAB for proper operation. If the CAB detects a
fault, it will turn on the Amber ABS Warning Lamp and disable the ABS braking system. The normal
Non ABS braking system will remain operational.
Page 12
The CAB Contains A Self-diagnostic Program - which will turn on the Amber ABS Warning Lamp
when a ABS system fault is detected. Faults are then stored in a diagnostic program memory.
There are multiple fault messages which may be stored in the CAB and displayed through the DRB
scan tool. These fault messages will remain in the CAB memory even after the ignition has been
turned off. The fault messages can be cleared by using the DRB scan tool, or they will be
automatically cleared from the memory after a minimum of 3500 vehicle miles are accumulated.

Control Module HVAC: Description and Operation
SYSTEM OPERATION
HVAC Control Module
HVAC Control Module The rear window control switch and circuit are integrated into the HVAC
control module. When actuating the switch it sends a ground signal to the Body Control Module
(BCM). The BCM actuates the relay allowing current to flow through the grid lines for ten minutes
upon initial actuation. Then 5 minutes with each subsequent actuation or until either the switch or
ignition is turned off. An indicating lamp illuminates the rear window defogger switch.
CIRCUIT OPERATION
A/C - Heater Control The air conditioning-heater system is controlled by the Body Control Module
(BCM). The BCM sends out voltage to the A/C-Heater control on circuit C58. The control uses
resistors to internal to the control. These resistors are connected to the Z2 ground circuit.
When the operator requests a function in the system the BCM measures the voltage drop, on
circuit C58, and activates the mode actuator door to the proper position.
A separate A/C switch is used in the system. This switch works the same as the mode actuator
switches. When the operator presses the switch the BCM measures the voltage drop in the C21
circuit and activates the proper functions. Internal to the A/C-Heater control the A/C switch is
connected to the blower motor switch. This allows the A/C system to only operate when the blower
switch in an ON position.
Ground for the A/C switch is provided through the blower motor switch to the Z1 circuit. This circuit
terminates at the instrument panel left side cowl. A Light Emitting Diode (LED) is connected in the
C21 circuit and illuminates when the A/C system is operating.
Page 31
Illumination lamps and LED's are internal to the control. These are controlled by the BCM. The E2
circuit from the BCM provides the voltage to the control for lamp and LED illumination. Ground for
the lamps and LED's is provided on the Z1 circuit which terminates at the instrument panel left side
cowl.

Body Controller (BC) and a relay located in the junction block. The headlamp time delay system
can be activated by turning ON the headlamps when the engine is running, turn OFF the ignition
switch, then turn OFF the headlamp switch. The BC will allow the headlamps to remain ON for 90
seconds before they automatically turn off. Refer to the Owner's Manual for more information.
CIRCUIT OPERATION
Headlamp Delay The headlamp delay uses a relay located in the junction block. Power for the relay
is supplied on circuit A3. This circuit powers the coil and contact sides of the relay and is protected
by a 40 amp fuse located in the Power Distribution Center (PDC) cavity 15.
The relay is activated by the operator turning OFF the ignition with the headlamps ON. The Body
Control Module (BCM) controls the ground for the coil side of the relay and the amount of time the
headlamps stay ON. Circuit G50 connects the coil side of the relay to the BCM.
When the relay is energized, the contacts in the relay CLOSE connecting circuits A3 and L4. Circuit
L4 is used to power the fuses used for low-beam headlamp operation.

Horn Relay: Description and Operation
SYSTEM OPERATION
The horn relay is a international Standards Organization (ISO) micro-relay. The terminal
designations and functions are the same as a conventional ISO relay. However, the micro-relay
terminal orientation (or footprint) is different, current capacity is lower, and the relay case
dimensions are smaller than on the conventional ISO relay.
The horn relay is a electromechanical device that switches current to the horn when the Driver
Airbag Module is depressed.
The horn relay is located in the Junction Block. Refer to the Junction Block label for horn relay
identification and location.
If a problem is encountered with a continuously sounding horn, it can usually be quickly resolved by
removing the horn relay from the Junction Block until further diagnosis is completed. The horn relay
cannot be repaired and, if faulty, it must be replaced.

Body Control Module: Diagnostic Aids
Intermittent and Poor Connections
Most intermittent electrical problems are caused by faulty electrical connections or wiring. It is also
possible for a sticking component or relay to cause a problem. Before condemning a component or
wiring assembly check the following items.
- Connectors are fully seated
- Spread terminals, or terminal push out
- Terminals in the wiring assembly are fully seated into the connector/component and locked in
position
- Dirt or corrosion on the terminals. Any amount of corrosion or dirt could cause an intermittent
problem
- Damaged connector/component casing exposing the item to dirt and moisture
- Wire insulation that has rubbed through causing a short to ground
- Some or all of the wiring strands broken inside of the insulation covering.
Page 85
- Wiring broken inside of the insulation
Troubleshooting Tests
Before beginning any tests on a vehicle's electrical system, use the wiring diagrams to study the
circuit. Also refer to Troubleshooting Wiring Problems section.
Testing For Voltage
Testing For Voltage
1. Connect the ground lead of a voltmeter to a known good ground. 2. Connect the other lead of
the voltmeter to the selected test point. The vehicle ignition may need to be turned ON to check
voltage. Refer to the
appropriate test procedure.

Testing For Continuity
Page 88
Testing For Continuity
1. Remove the fuse for the circuit being checked or disconnect the battery. 2. Connect one lead of
the ohmmeter to one side of the circuit being tested. 3. Connect the other lead to the other end of
the circuit being tested. Low or no resistance means good continuity.
Testing For A Short To Ground
1. Remove the fuse and disconnect all items involved with the fuse. 2. Connect a test light or a
voltmeter across the terminals of the fuse. 3. Starting at the fuse block, wiggle the wiring harness
every 6 to 8 Inches and watch the voltmeter/test light. 4. If the voltmeter registers voltage or the
test light glows, there is a short-to-ground in that general area of the wiring harness.
Testing For A Short-to-ground On Fuses Powering Several Loads
1. Refer to the wiring diagrams and disconnect or isolate all items on the fuse circuit. 2. Replace
the blown fuse. 3. Supply power to the fuse by turning ON the ignition switch or re-connecting the
battery. 4. Start connecting the items in the fuse circuit, one at a time. When the fuse blows, the
circuit with the short-to-ground has been isolated.
Testing For Voltage Drop
Testing For Voltage Drop
1. Connect the positive lead of the voltmeter to the side of the circuit closest to the battery. 2.
Connect the other lead of the voltmeter to the other side of the switch or component.

3. Operate the item. 4. The voltmeter will show the difference in voltage between the two points.
Troubleshooting Tools
TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS
When diagnosing a problem in an electrical circuit, there are several common tools necessary.
These tools are listed and explained below.
- Jumper Wire - This is a test wire used to connect two points of a circuit. It can be used to bypass
an open in a circuit.
WARNING: NEVER USE A JUMPER WIRE ACROSS A LOAD, SUCH AS A MOTOR,
CONNECTED BETWEEN A BATTERY FEED AND GROUND.
- Voltmeter - This instrument is used to check for voltage on a circuit. Always connect the black
lead to a known good ground and the red lead to the positive side of the circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicle are solid state. When
checking voltages in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 megohm or greater impedance.
- Ohmmeter - This instrument is used to check the resistance between two points of a circuit. Low
or no resistance in a circuit can mean good continuity or a shorted circuit.
CAUTION: Most of the electrical components used in today's vehicle are solid state. When
checking resistance in these circuits, use a meter with a 10 megohm or greater impedance. In
addition, be sure the power is disconnected from the circuit. Circuits that are powered-up by the
vehicle electrical system can cause damage to the equipment and provide false readings.
Probing Tool
- Probing Tools - These tools are used for probing terminals in connectors. Select the proper size
tool from Special Tool Package 6807 and insert it into the terminal being tested. Use the other end
of the tool to insert the meter probe.
Troubleshooting Wiring Problems
When troubleshooting wiring problems there are six steps which can aid in the procedure. The
steps are listed and explained below. Always check for non-factory items added to the vehicle
before doing any diagnosis. If the vehicle is equipped with these items, disconnect them to verify
Page 90
these add-on items are not the cause of the problem.
1. Verify the problem.
2. Verify any related symptoms. Do this by performing operational checks on components that are
in the same circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams.
3. Analyze the symptoms. Use the wiring diagrams to determine what the circuit is doing, where the
problem most likely is occurring and where the
diagnosis will continue.
4. Isolate the problem area.
5. Repair the problem.
6. Verify proper operation. For this step check for proper operation of all items on the repaired
circuit. Refer to the wiring diagrams.
