Vehicle Labels and Placards

LESSON 2 VEHICLE LABELS AND PLACARDS
2034-95_0151
Figure 3 Vehicle Data

To safely and accurately diagnose, repair, and order parts for any vehicle, it is important to know
what equipment is in the vehicle. Through the use of various vehicle labels and placards, it is

NOTE:
When removing spark plugs on a hot engine may cause damage to the threads of the
spark plug hole.
NOTE:
Use compressed air to remove dirt and debris from around the base of the spark
plug prior to removing the spark plug.
CAUTION:
The cylinder head gaskets are not interchangeable between the left and right
sides. They are marked with an L and R to indicate the left or right side and they
are marked TOP to indicate which side goes up.
CAUTION:
The head gaskets are marked TOP to indicate which side goes up.
CAUTION:
The longer pushrods are for the exhaust side and the shorter pushrods are for
the intake side.
CAUTION:
The rocker shaft assemblies are not interchangeable between the intake and
the exhaust, failure to install them in the correct location could result in engine
damage. The intake rocker arms are marked with the letter I.
CAUTION:
The intake manifold must be thoroughly cleaned and blown out completely
' ! ! ', @ ,
intake system. All other items being transferred to this engine must be washed,
blown out, and inspected for damage. Remove, inspect, and thoroughly clean
the exhaust manifold, down pipe and catalytic converter by inverting, shaking
and blowing with compressed air.

The front suspension is designed to allow each wheel to adapt to different road surfaces
independently. The wheels are mounted to hub bearings (not shown) on the steering knuckles.
The hub bearings are sealed and lubricated for life. The steering knuckles turn (pivot) on ball
joints that are pressed into the outboard portion of the upper control arms and pressed into the
steering knuckle for the lower control arms. The ball joints are lubricated for life. The upper and
lower control arms are attached to the frame with bushings that are not serviceable. The stabilizer
bar is attached to the lower control arms by a stabilizer bar link, and to the frame with stabilizer
bar retaining bracket/bushings that are not serviceable.

frame with bushings that are not serviceable. The stabilizer bar is attached to the lower control
arms by a stabilizer bar link, and to the frame with stabilizer bar retaining bracket/bushings that
are not serviceable.
CAUTION:
Suspension components with rubber/urethane bushings should be tightened

with the vehicle at normal ride height. It is important to have the springs
supporting the weight of the vehicle when the fasteners are torqued. This will
maintain vehicle ride comfort and prevent premature bushing wear.

Figure 61 Nivomat Shock

NIVOMAT shock absorber is standard equipment on the Dodge Durango SSV rear suspension.
The load-leveling units are self-contained, gas pressurized, maintenance-free shock absorbers that
automatically level the vehicle to the proper position. They maintain normal ride height whether
the vehicle is driven over normal streets or uneven road surfaces. The load leveling units also level
the vehicle to within 25.4 mm (1 in.) below curb height when weight is added to the rear of the
vehicle. If the vehicle is allowed to sit for an extended period of time, the vehicle will settle. After
the vehicle is driven, the vehicle will return to the correct ride height.
On the outside, the load-leveling unit looks like a slightly larger version of the standard shock
absorber. Because of its additional stiffness, the load leveling unit is matched with a spring lighter
than the standard spring.
106

Chassis
Because the Nivomat shock is mechanical, the vehicle must be moving before the pump starts to
work; and it takes about a mile to a mile-and-a-half of travel before the vehicle reaches its optimal
level point. It takes very little input to actuate the pump. Even on smooth roads, the Nivomat
shock pumps up quickly.
The Nivomat system does not just level the vehicle under load. As the load increases, the pressure
inside the shock increases as oil is displaced from the reservoir to the inside of the unit. This
action causes the gas in the shock to compress. This creates a progressive increase in spring rate
and damping with little or no change to ride frequency.
The top of the shock absorbers attach to a mounting bracket that is bolted to the body. The bottom
of the shocks are bolted to the lower control arm. The shock can be serviced either as a complete
assembly (including bracket) or the shock itself. The mounting bracket and the dust shield can
also be serviced individually. The shock assembly must be removed from the vehicle to service the
individual components.

overall performance for normal operation. The ride and handling characteristics match the
vehicles requirements. With proper care, they give excellent reliability, traction, skid resistance,
and tread life.
Driving habits have more effect on tire life than any other factor. Careful drivers will obtain, in
most cases, much greater mileage than severe use or careless drivers. A few of the driving habits
that will shorten the life of any tire are:
Rapid acceleration
Severe brake applications
High-speed driving
Excessive speeds on turns
Striking curbs and other obstacles

worthwhile with aggressive tread designs such as those on all-season type tires. Rotation will
increase tread life; help to maintain mud, snow, and wet traction levels; and contribute to a
smooth, quiet ride.
Refer to the maintenance schedule for the proper maintenance intervals. More frequent rotation
is permissible if desired. The reasons for any rapid or unusual wear should be corrected prior to
rotation being performed.
The suggested rotation method is the forward cross shown in the above diagram. This rotation
pattern does not apply to some directional tires that must not be reversed.

If you need snow tires, select tires equivalent in size and type to the original equipment tires. Use
snow tires only in sets of four; failure to do so may adversely affect the safety and handling of your
vehicle.
Snow tires generally have lower speed ratings than what was originally equipped with your vehicle
and should not be operated at sustained speeds over 120 km/h (75 mph). For speeds above 120
km/h (75 mph) refer to original equipment or an authorized tire dealer for recommended safe

While studded tires improve performance on ice, skid and traction capability on wet or dry
surfaces may be poorer than that of non-studded tires. Some states prohibit studded tires;
therefore, local laws should be checked before using these tire types.

X
Note:
Caution:
Chains must be the proper size for the vehicle as recommended by the chain
manufacturer.
To avoid damage to your vehicle, tires, or chains, observe the following
precautions:
Because of limited chain clearance between tires and other suspension
components, it is important that only chains in good condition are used. Broken
chains can cause serious vehicle damage. Stop the vehicle immediately if noise
occurs that could suggest chain breakage. Remove the damaged parts of the
chain before further use.
Install chains as tightly as possible and then retighten after driving about 0.8
km (0.5 miles).
Do not exceed 72 km/h (45 mph).
Drive cautiously and avoid severe turns and large bumps, especially with a
loaded vehicle.
Do not install tire chains on the front wheels of 4x2 vehicles.
Do not drive for a prolonged periods on dry pavement.
Observe the tire chain manufacturers instructions on method of installation,
operating speed, and conditions for usage. Always use the lower suggested
operating speed of the chain manufacturer if different than the speed
recommended by the manufacturer.
These cautions apply to all chain traction devices, including link and cable
(radial) chains.
114

Chassis
Note:
Caution:
On 4x2 and 4x4 Durango model trucks, the use of Class S snow chains is permitted
on the rear wheels of trucks equipped with P265/70R17 tires only.
Do not use tire chains on the front wheels of any model except for 3500 dual
rear wheel (DRW) trucks equipped with LT235/80R17E tires. There may not be
adequate clearance for the chains and you are risking structural or body damage
to your vehicle. Do not use tire chains on the rear wheels of Durango model
trucks equipped with LT275/70R17, P275/60R20, or 285/45R22 tires. There
may not be adequate clearance for the chains and you are risking structural or
body damage to your vehicle.

pump. The EHPS pump has an EHPS module attached (not replaceable separately). There are two
electrical connectors on the EHPS pump assembly. One connector is a 12V low amperage module
connector, and the other is a 12V higher amperage pump connector containing a larger gauge wire
for motor operation. The power steering hoses and steering gear are substantially unchanged in
function from a conventional system. However, there are unique components for this system, such
as hoses for routing and the gear for valve tuning.

Multiple modules work together to improve vehicle steering assist at different rates at different
speeds. At slow speeds (parking maneuvers), more assist is available. At high speeds, less assist
is available. The EHPS module uses the CAN-C data bus for inputs and outputs of the information
necessary for operation. The use of a scan tool is necessary for diagnostics. EHPS module faults
are stored in a diagnostic program memory and are accessible with the scan tool. Faults remain
in memory until cleared, or until after the vehicle is started approximately 50 times. Stored
faults are not erased if the battery is disconnected. For descriptions and procedures related to
DTCs. The electro-hydraulic power steering (EHPS) pump assembly contains a control module,
brushless electric motor, and hydraulic pump integrated into a single unit. The EHPS pump draws

speed message greater than 5 km/h (3 mph) is received on CAN-C. If the vehicle speed message
is missing at vehicle startup, the EHPS Pump will not operate. If the vehicle speed message is lost

Fuel System
The lines, tubes, and hoses used on fuel injected vehicles are of a special construction. This is
due to the higher fuel pressures and the possibility of contaminated fuel in this system. If it is
necessary to replace these lines, tubes, and hoses, only those marked EFM/EFI may be used.
If equipped, the hose clamps used to secure rubber hoses on fuel injected vehicles are of a special
rolled edge construction. This construction is used to prevent the edge of the clamp from cutting
into the hose. Only these rolled edge type clamps may be used in this system. All other types of
clamps may cut into the hoses and cause high-pressure fuel leaks.
Use new, original equipment type hose clamps.

Fuel Requirements
Your vehicle will operate on both unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87, or E-85 fuel, or
any mixture of these two. For best results, a refueling pattern that alternates between E-85 and
unleaded gasoline should be avoided.
When switching fuel types:
Do not switch when the fuel gauge indicates less than 1/4 full
Do not add less than 19 liters (5 gallons) when refueling
Operate the vehicle immediately after refueling for a period of at least 5 minutes

Some additives used in regular gasoline are not fully compatible with E-85 and may
form deposits in your engine. To eliminate drivability issues that may be caused by
these deposits, a supplemental gasoline additive, such as MOPAR Injector Cleanup
or Techron may be used.
Engine Oil for Flexible Fuel Vehicles (E-85) and Gasoline Vehicles
FFV vehicles operated on E-85 require specially formulated engine oils. These special
requirements are included in MOPAR engine oils, and in equivalent oils meeting Chrysler

The characteristics of E-85 fuel make it unsuitable for use when ambient temperatures fall below
-18C (0F). In the range of -18C (0F) to 0C (32F), you may experience an increase in the time
it takes for your engine to start, and a deterioration in drivability (sags and/or hesitations) until
the engine is fully warmed up.

Cruising Range
Because E-85 fuel contains less energy per gallon/liter than gasoline, you will experience an
increase in fuel consumption. You can expect your miles per gallon (mpg)/miles per liter and your
driving range to decrease by about 30%, compared to gasoline operation.

The following procedure should be used to recharge a completely discharged battery. Unless this
procedure is properly followed, a good battery may be needlessly replaced.
Measure the voltage at the battery posts with a voltmeter, accurate to 1/10 (0.10) volt. If the
reading is below ten volts, the battery charging current will be low. It could take several hours
before the battery accepts a current greater than a few milliamperes. Such low current may not be
detectable on the ammeters built into many battery chargers.
Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
NOTE:
Some battery chargers are equipped with polarity-sensing circuitry. This circuitry
protects the battery charger and the battery from being damaged if they are
improperly connected. If the battery state-of-charge is too low for the polaritysensing circuitry to detect, the battery charger will not operate. This makes it appear
that the battery will not accept charging current. See the instructions provided by
the manufacturer of the battery charger for details on how to bypass the polaritysensing circuitry.

Battery chargers vary in the amount of voltage and current they provide. The amount of time
required for a battery to accept measurable charging current at various voltages is shown in
the Charge Rate Table. If the charging current is still not measurable at the end of the charging
time, the battery is faulty and must be replaced. If the charging current is measurable during
the charging time, the battery may be good and the charging should be completed in the normal
manner.

The PCM receives a voltage input from the generator and also a battery voltage input from the
totally integrated power module (TIPM), it then compares the voltages to the desired voltage
programmed in the electronic voltage regulator (EVR) software and, if there is a difference, it
sends a signal to the generator EVR circuit to increase or decrease output. It uses pulse-width
modulation (PWM) to send signals to the generator circuitry to control the amount of output from
the generator. The amount of DC current produced by the generator is controlled by the EVR
circuitry contained within the generator.
All OBD-sensed systems, including EVR circuitry, are monitored by the PCM. Each monitored
circuit is assigned a diagnostic trouble code (DTC). The PCM will store a DTC in electronic memory
for certain failures it detects.
The check gauges lamp (if equipped) monitors charging system voltage, engine coolant
temperature, and engine oil pressure. If an extreme condition is indicated, the lamp will be
illuminated. This is done as reminder to check the three gauges. The lamp is located on the
instrument panel.

ensure the cover is properly positioned and fully latched. Failure to do so may
allow water to get into the totally integrated power module and possibly result
in a electrical system failure.
When replacing a blown fuse, it is important to use only a fuse having the correct
amperage rating. The use of a fuse with a rating other than indicated may result
in a dangerous electrical system overload. If a properly rated fuse continues to
blow, it indicates a problem in the circuit that must be corrected.

NETWORK
$ !$"
The PCM maintains communication with the scan tools through the vehicle data link connector
(DLC). The DLC is located under the instrument panel, near the steering column.

Network communication is a way to send multiple messages over a single wire or a pair of twisted
wires. Modules share information between each other across these common wires. Locating
modules close to the components they control reduces the amount and number of wires. This
network is referred to as a bus.
Most networks are composed of a twisted pair of wires. Electronic control modules (ECMs)
can both transmit and receive data on the bus. Data placed on the bus includes input data,

communications, and other modules for faults. If a fault occurs with a particular input or output,
the module that is hard-wired to that particular device may be designed to detect it and send a
diagnostic trouble code (DTC) on the bus.

CAN Bus
2034-95_1025
Figure 73 Network Topology

&
The primary on-board communication network between microprocessor-based electronic control
modules in this vehicle is the controller area network (CAN) data bus system. A data bus network
minimizes redundant wiring connections; and, at the same time, reduces wire harness complexity.
By allowing each sensing device to be connected to only one module or node, it reduces the sensor
current loads and the need for more controller hardware. Each node reads, then broadcasts its
sensor data over the bus for use by all other nodes requiring that data. Each node ignores the
messages on the bus that it cannot use.
The CAN bus is a two-wire multiplex system. Multiplexing is any system that enables the
transmission of multiple messages over a single channel or circuit. The CAN bus is used for
communication between most vehicle nodes. However, in addition to the CAN bus network,
certain nodes may also be equipped with a LIN data bus. The LIN data bus is a single-wire lowspeed (9.6 Kbps) serial link bus used to provide direct communication between a LIN master
module and certain switch or sensor inputs.

145
Electrical
There are actually three separate CAN bus systems used in the vehicle. They are the CANIHS, the CAN-C, and the Diagnostic CAN-C. The CAN-IHS and CAN-C systems provide onboard communication between all nodes in the vehicle. The CAN-C is the faster of the two
systems providing near real-time communication (500 Kbps). The CAN-C is used typically for
communications between more critical nodes, while the slower (125 Kbps) CAN-IHS is used for
communications between less critical nodes.

in the CAN bus system, providing near real-time communication (500 Kbps).
The CAN bus nodes are connected in parallel to the two-wire bus using a twisted pair. The wires
are wrapped around each other to provide shielding from unwanted electromagnetic induction,
preventing interference with the relatively low voltage signals being carried through them. The
twisted pairs have between 33 and 50 twists per meter (yard). While the CAN bus is operating
(active), one of the bus wires will carry a higher voltage and is referred to as the CAN High or CAN
bus (+) wire, while the other bus wire will carry a lower voltage and is referred to as the CAN Low
or CAN bus () wire.

Figure 76 IOD Fuse

All vehicles are equipped with an ignition-OFF draw (IOD) fuse that is disconnected within the
integrated power module when the vehicle is shipped from the factory. Dealer personnel are to
reconnect the IOD fuse in the integrated power module as part of the preparation procedures
performed just prior to new vehicle delivery. The IOD fuse can be removed to avoid discharging
the battery by disconnecting non-essential, low-current memory functions that are normally on
at all times. A detent on the IOD fuse holder allows it to be stored in its normal cavity but out of
contact. The holder is pushed into place to restore power to the systems it supplies. When the
vehicle is prepared for delivery, the IOD function of this fuse becomes transparent and the fuse
that has been assigned the IOD designation becomes another Fused B (+) circuit fuse.

The following circuits are protected by the IOD fuse:
Cluster (CCN)
Electronic overhead module (EOM
Sentry key remote entry module (SKREEM)

The IOD fuse can be used by the vehicle owner as a convenient means of reducing battery
depletion when a vehicle is to be stored for periods not to exceed about 30 days. However, it
must be remembered that disconnecting the IOD fuse will not eliminate IOD, but only reduce
this normal condition. If a vehicle will be stored for more than about thirty days, the battery
negative cable should be disconnected to eliminate normal IOD; and, the battery should be tested
and recharged at regular intervals during the vehicle storage period to prevent the battery from
becoming discharged or damaged.

The powertrain control module (PCM) is located in the right side of the engine compartment. The
PCM operates the ignition and fuel system along with controlling other subsystems. The PCM is
a pre-programmed, triple microprocessor digital computer. It regulates ignition timing, air-fuel
ratio, emission control devices, charging system, certain transmission features, speed control, air
conditioning compressor clutch engagement, and idle speed. The PCM can adapt its programming
to meet changing operating conditions.
The PCM receives input signals from various switches and sensors. Based on these inputs, the
PCM regulates various engine and vehicle operations through different system components.
These components are referred to as powertrain control module (PCM) outputs. The sensors and
switches that provide inputs to the PCM are considered powertrain control module (PCM) inputs.
The PCM adjusts ignition timing based upon inputs it receives from sensors that react to engine
rpm, manifold absolute pressure, engine coolant temperature, throttle position, transmission gear
selection (automatic transmission), vehicle speed, power steering pump pressure, and the brake
switch.

NAG1 Transmission Control Module (TCM)

Figure 78 NAG1 Transmission Control Module
The transmission control module (TCM) determines the current operating conditions of the
vehicle and controls the shifting process for shift comfort and driving situations. It receives this
operating data from sensors and broadcast messages from other modules.
The TCM uses inputs from several sensors that are directly hard-wired to the controller and it
uses several indirect inputs that are used to control shifts. This information is used to actuate the
proper solenoids in the valve body to achieve the desired gear.
The shift lever sensor assembly (SLSA) has sensors that are monitored by the TCM to calculate
shift lever position. The reverse light switch, an integral part of the SLSA, controls the reverse light
relay control circuit. The brake/transmission shift interlock (BTSI) solenoid and the park lockout
solenoid (also part of the SLSA) are controlled by the TCM.
The ECM and ABS broadcast messages over the controller area network (CAN-C) bus for use by the
TCM. The TCM uses this information, with other inputs, to determine the transmission operating
conditions.
160

Electrical
The TCM:
Determines the momentary operating conditions of the vehicle
Controls all shift processes
Considers shift comfort and the driving situation
The TCM controls the solenoid valves for modulating shift pressures and gear changes. Relative to
the torque being transmitted, the required pressures are calculated from load conditions, engine
rpm, vehicle speed, and ATF temperature.
The following functions are contained in the TCM:
Shift program
Downshift safety
Torque converter lock-up clutch
Adaptation
This transmission does not have a TCM relay. Power is supplied to the SLSA and the TCM directly
from the ignition.
The TCM continuously checks for electrical problems, mechanical problems, and some hydraulic
problems. When a problem is sensed, the TCM stores a diagnostic trouble code (DTC). Some
of these codes cause the transmission to go into limp-in or default mode. Some DTCs cause
permanent limp-in and others cause temporary limp-in. The NAG1 defaults in the current gear
position if a DTC is detected, then after a key cycle the transmission will go into limp-in, which
is mechanical 2nd gear. Some DTCs may allow the transmission to resume normal operation
(recover) if the detected problem goes away. A permanent limp-in DTC will recover when the key
is cycled, but if the same DTC is detected for three key cycles, the system will not recover and the
DTC must be cleared from the TCM with the scan tool.

The TCM registers one part of the input signals by direct inputs, the other part by CAN-C bus. In
addition to the direct control of the actuators, the TCM sends various output signals by CAN-C bus
to other control modules.

The information is then sent to the transmission control module (TCM) via a hard-wire connection.

resistance rises, and therefore, the probing voltage is decreasing. Because of its registration, the
shifting process can be optimized in all temperature ranges.
The ATF temperature sensor is wired in series with the park/neutral contact. The temperature
signal is transmitted to the TCM only when the reed contact of the park/neutral contact is closed
because the TCM only reads ATF temperature while in any forward gear, or reverse. When the
transmission is in park or neutral, the TCM will substitute the engine temperature for the ATF
temperature.

The TCM monitors a contact switch wired in series with the transmission temperature sensor
to determine park and neutral positions. The contact switch is open in park and neutral. The

The N2 and N3 input speed sensors are two Hall-effect speed sensors that are mounted internally
in the transmission and are used by the TCM to calculate the transmissions input speed. Because

When the TCM determines there is a non-recoverable condition present that does not allow proper
transmission operation, the TCM places the transmission in permanent limp-in mode. When the
condition occurs, the TCM turns off all solenoids as well as the solenoid supply output circuit. If
this occurs while the vehicle is moving, the transmission remains in the current gear position until
the ignition is turned OFF or the shifter is placed in the P position. When the shifter has been
placed in P, the transmission only allows 2nd gear operation. If this occurs while the vehicle is not
moving, the transmission only allows operation in 2nd gear.

The Sentry Key immobilizer system prevents unauthorized vehicle operation by disabling the
engine. The system does not need to be armed or activated. Operation is automatic, regardless of
whether the vehicle is locked or unlocked.
The system uses a key FOB with a factory-mated RKE transmitter and WIN to prevent
unauthorized vehicle operation. Therefore, only key FOBs that are programmed to the vehicle can
be used to start and operate the vehicle. The system will not allow the engine to crank if an invalid
key FOB is used to start and operate the vehicle.
Note:

Figure 83 ABS Module

The antilock brake system (ABS) is an electronically operated, four-channel brake control system
that is part of electronic stability control (ESC). The vehicle also has electronic variable brake
proportioning (EVBP) designed into the system which eliminates the combination/proportioning
valve.
The system is designed to prevent wheel lockup and maintain steering control during braking.

`>
;=|+>; ;> > =:=;|`> X

The hydraulic system is a four-channel design. All wheel brakes are controlled individually.
The ABS electrical system is separate from other electrical circuits in the vehicle. A specially
programmed controller antilock brake unit operates the system components.
ABS system major components include:
Antilock brake module (ABM)
Hydraulic control unit (HCU)
Wheel speed sensors (WSS)
ABS warning light

Battery voltage is supplied to the ABM. The ABM performs a system initialization procedure at
start up along with an ABS motor check. Initialization consists of a static and dynamic self check of
system electrical components.
The static and dynamic checks occurs at ignition start up. During the dynamic check, the ABM

This noise should be considered normal.
If an ABS component exhibits a fault during initialization, the ABM illuminates the amber warning
light and registers a fault code in the microprocessor memory.
The ABM monitors wheel speed sensor inputs continuously while the vehicle is in motion.
However, the ABM will not activate any ABS components as long as sensor inputs indicate normal
braking.
During normal braking, the master cylinder, power booster, and wheel brake units all function as
they would in a vehicle without ABS. The HCU components are not activated.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
2034-94_0040
Figure 85 Cabin Compartment Node

The instrument cluster for this vehicle includes the hardware and software necessary to serve as
the electronic body control module and is also referred to as the cabin compartment node (CCN)
The instrument cluster is located directly in front of the driver above the steering column opening.
The remainder of the CCN, including the mounts and the electrical connections, are concealed
within the instrument.
Besides analog gauges and indicators, the CCN module incorporates two liquid crystal display

trip computer, the universal garage door opener (UGDO), the customer programmable features,
numerous textual warning or reminder indicators, and certain diagnostic information.

177
Electrical
The instrument cluster gauges, indicators, LCD units, as well as the cluster illumination are all
integral components of the CCN and its electronic circuit board. If any part of the internal working
components of the instrument cluster become damaged or inoperative, the entire instrument
cluster assembly must be replaced. The cluster lens and hood unit are the only components of the
instrument cluster assembly that can be serviced separately.
j &&
The CCN supports the following functions:
Fuel Level Data Support - The CCN provides a current source for and receives a hardwired analog input from the fuel level sending unit located on the fuel pump module in the
fuel tank. The CCN uses this input to calculate the proper fuel gauge needle position and
to control low fuel indicator operation. Based upon this input, the CCN also uses electronic
messaging to transmit this data over the CAN data bus for use by other electronic modules
in the vehicle.
Interior Lamp Load Shedding - The CCN provides a battery saver feature that will
automatically turn off all interior lamps if they remain on after a timed interval of about
eight minutes.
Interior Lighting Control - The CCN monitors electronic messages and hard-wired inputs
from the interior lighting switch, the door ajar switches, the liftgate ajar switch, the liftgate
; [> ;}:
=\ =; :
= = ?
> +;
control. This includes support for timed illuminated entry with theater-style fade-to-off
and courtesy illumination defeat features.
Local Interface Network Master Module - The CCN is the master module for the LIN data
bus. In this role, it gathers information from the compass sensor, the heated seat module
(HSM), the instrument panel switch pods, the steering wheel switches, and the SCM, then
either acts on that information directly or places electronic messages on the CAN data bus
for use by other modules.
Panel Lamps Dimming Control - The CCN monitors electronic dimming level messages
received from the panel lamps dimmer switch input to the SCM over the LIN data bus.
The CCN provides both a hard-wired 12-volt pulse-width-modulated (PWM) output and
electronic message outputs over the LIN data bus. This controls the synchronized dimming
level of all panel lamps and the dimmer controlled lamps of the cluster general illumination
lighting.
178

Electrical
Power Lock System Control - The CCN monitors inputs from the power lock switches and
the WIN to provide control of the power lock motors through high-side and low-side driver
outputs. This includes support for rolling door locks (also known as automatic door locks),
automatic door unlock, and a door lock inhibit mode.
Remote Keyless Entry Support - The CCN supports the remote keyless entry (RKE)
system features, including support for the RKE LOCK, UNLOCK (with optional driver-dooronly unlock, and unlock-all-doors), PANIC, audible chirp, optical chirp, illuminated entry
modes, an RKE programming mode, as well as optional vehicle theft security system (VTSS)
arming (when the proper VTSS arming conditions are met) and disarming.
Remote Radio Switch Support - The CCN receives electronic message inputs from the
remote radio switches on the steering wheel over the LIN data bus, then provides electronic
radio request messages over the CAN data bus to support the remote radio switch function.
Steering Wheel Switch Support - The CCN receives electronic message inputs from
the steering wheel switches on the steering wheel over the LIN data bus to control and
>+@ =] ;+@>

X
Vehicle Theft Security System Control - The CCN monitors inputs from the door ajar
switches, and the WIN, on vehicles so equipped. The intrusion module then provides
electronic horn and lighting request messages to the front control module (FCM) located on
the integrated power module (IPM) for the appropriate VTSS alarm output features.
Wiper and Washer Switch Support - The CCN monitors electronic wiper switch and
washer switch status messages from the SCM on the steering column over the LIN data
bus and transmits the appropriate electronic wiper and washer request messages to the
FCM located on the IPM over the CAN data bus to support the wiper and washer system
functions, including the headlamps-on with wipers programmable feature.

179
Electrical

The illumination intensity of the LCD unit is controlled by the CCN circuitry based upon an input
from the headlamp switch and a dimming level input received from the panel dimmer switch. The
CCN synchronizes the illumination intensity of other LCD units with that of the unit in the CCN by
sending electronic dimming level messages to other electronic modules in the vehicle over the CAN
data bus.
The CCN has several light-emitting diode (LED) units that provide cluster back lighting whenever
the exterior lighting is turned ON, or whenever the ignition switch is in the ON position. The
illumination intensity of these LED units is adjusted with the panel lamps dimmer function of the
headlamp switch when the switch is rotated.
The CCN uses this PWM output to control the illumination intensity of the cluster general
illumination lighting and the LCD display units on the CCN circuit board, then provides a
synchronized PWM output on various hard-wired fused panel lamps dimmer switch signal circuits
to control and synchronize the illumination intensity of other incandescent illumination lamps in
the vehicle. The CCN also transmits electronic dimming level messages over the CAN data bus to
other electronic modules in the vehicle to control and synchronize the illumination intensity of
their display units to that of the CCN displays.

control module (AWDCM), occupant restraint controller (ORC), compass module, wireless control
module (WCM), or the inputs to one of these electronic control modules. Use a diagnostic scan tool
to diagnose these components. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
Begin the test with the ignition switch in the OFF position.
Depress the electronic vehicle information center (EVIC) menu down scroll switch button.
While still holding the scroll switch button depressed, turn the ignition switch to the ON
position, but do not start the engine.
Release the switch button.
The instrument cluster will simultaneously begin to illuminate all of the operational
segments in the LCD units, and perform a bulb check of each operational LED indicator.
The LCD segments and LED indicators remain illuminated as each gauge needle is swept
to several calibration points and back. If an LCD segment or an LED indicator fails to
illuminate, or if a gauge needle fails to sweep through the calibration points and back
during this test, the instrument cluster must be replaced.
The self test is now complete. The instrument cluster will automatically exit the selfdiagnostic mode and return to normal operation at the completion of the test. The self test
will be aborted if the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, or if an electronic vehicle
speed message indicating that the vehicle is moving is received over the CAN data bus
during the test.

upper tether anchors for the second row seat and two for the optional third row split bench
seat. Two anchors are integral to the back of the left (60%) second row seat back panel,
one is integral to the right (40%) second row seat back panel, and one is integral to each of
the two third row seat back panels. Two lower anchors are also provided for each second
row outboard seating position. The lower anchors are integral to the second row seat
frame and are accessed from the front of the second row seats, where the seat back meets
the seat cushion.
Front Seat Belts - Both front seating positions are equipped with three-point seat belt
systems employing lower B-pillar mounted inertia latch-type emergency locking retractors,
height-adjustable upper B-pillar mounted turning loops, a traveling lower seat belt anchor
secured to the outboard side of the seat frame, and a traveling end-release seat belt buckle
secured to the inboard side of the seat frame. The passenger side front seat belt retractor is
switchable to an automatic locking retractor for compatibility with child seats. The driver
side front seat belt buckle includes an integral Hall-effect seat belt switch that detects
whether the driver side front seat belt has been fastened. In domestic market vehicles, a
second seat belt switch in the passenger side front seat belt buckle detects whether the
passenger side front seat belt has been fastened.
Second Row Seat Belts - All second row seating positions are equipped with three-point
seat belt systems. The outboard seating position belts employ C-pillar mounted inertia

The SRS includes the following major components:
Active Head Restraints - On vehicles with this equipment, one active head restraint (AHR)
is located atop each front seat back unit.
Airbag Indicator - The airbag indicator is integral to the electromechanical instrument
cluster (EMIC) (also known as the cab compartment node/CCN), which is located on the
instrument panel in front of the driver.
Clock spring - The clock spring is integral to the steering column control module (SCCM)
located near the top of the steering column, directly beneath the steering wheel.
Driver Airbag - The driver airbag is located in the center of the steering wheel, beneath the
driver airbag trim cover.
Driver Knee Blocker - The driver knee blocker is a structural unit secured to the
instrument panel, beneath the instrument panel steering column opening cover.
Front Impact Sensor - Two front impact sensors are used on vehicles equipped with dual
front airbags, one left side and one right side. One sensor is located on the back side of each
vertical member of the radiator support.
Occupant Detection Sensor - An occupant detection sensor (ODS) is located on the top of
the seat cushion foam of the passenger side front seat in domestic market vehicles.
Occupant Restraint Controller - The occupant restraint controller (ORC) is located on a

the vehicle.
Seat Airbag - A seat (pelvic and thorax) airbag unit is secured to each outboard front seat
back frame, where it is concealed beneath the seat back trim cover and foam.
Seat Belt Tensioner - A seat belt tensioner is integral to both front seat belt retractor
units on vehicles equipped with dual front airbags. The seat belt retractor tensioner units
are secured to the right and left lower inner B-pillar and are concealed behind the lower
B-pillar trim.
Side Curtain Airbag - A side curtain airbag is secured to each inside roof side rail above the
headliner, which extends from the A-pillar to the D-pillar.
190

Electrical
Side Impact Sensor - Up to eight side impact sensors are used, four on each side of the
vehicle. One pressure-type sensor is located on each right and left front door hardware
module carrier behind the front door trim panel. In addition, an acceleration-type sensor is
located behind the B-pillar trim near the base of each B-pillar, one acceleration-type sensor
is located behind the quarter panel trim near the belt line of each C-pillar, and if the vehicle
is equipped with an optional third row seat, one sensor is located behind the quarter panel
trim near the belt line of each quarter inner panel just forward of the D-pillar.
Note:
Refer to the wiring information in the service manual when performing repairs on
this system. The wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and
connector repair procedures, further details on wire harness routing and retention,
as well as pin out and location views for the various wire harness connectors, splices
and grounds.

Deployment of the SRS components depends upon the angle and severity of an impact.
Deployment is not based upon vehicle speed; rather, deployment is based upon the rate of
deceleration as measured by the forces of gravity (G force) upon the acceleration-type impact
sensors, or by a pressure wave within a front door as measured by the pressure-type impact

appropriate airbag units to deploy their airbag cushions.
The front seat belt retractor tensioners are provided with a deployment signal by the ORC in
conjunction with the front airbags. The side curtain airbags and the seat airbags (also known as
pelvic and thorax airbags) are provided with a deployment signal individually by the ORC based
upon a side impact sensor input for the same side of the vehicle. The ORC also contains a rollover
sensor. Should the vehicle roll over and not cause any acceleration-type or pressure-type impact
sensor to signal the need for a deployment, the rollover sensor in the ORC will deploy the side
curtain airbags, the seat airbags, and under certain conditions, will also actuate the seat belt
retractor tensioners.
The two AHR units are provided with a simultaneous deployment signal by the ORC independent
from any of the other passive restraints only as a result of an impact pulse originating at the rear of
the vehicle, but will not deploy with the transmission gear selector in the reverse (R) position.
During a frontal vehicle impact, the static knee blockers work in concert with properly fastened
and adjusted seat belts to restrain both the driver and the front seat passenger in the proper
position for an airbag deployment. The static knee blockers also absorb and distribute the crash
energy from the driver and the front seat passenger to the structure of the instrument panel.
The seat belt tensioners remove the slack from the front seat belts to provide further assurance
that the driver and front seat passenger are properly positioned and restrained for an airbag
deployment.

Seat belt tensioners supplement the dual front airbags for this vehicle. The seat belt tensioners
are integral to the front seat belt retractor units, which are secured to the lower inner b-pillar on
the right and left sides of the vehicle. The retractor is concealed beneath the molded plastic lower
inner b-pillar trim.
The seat belt tensioner consists primarily of a sprocket/pinion, a steel tube, a cast metal housing,
numerous steel balls, a stamped metal ball trap, a torsion bar, and a small pyrotechnically activated
gas generator with a connector receptacle. All of these components are located on one side of the
retractor spool, on the outside of the retractor housing, except for the torsion bar, which serves as
the spindle upon which the retractor spool rides. The seat belt tensioners are controlled by the
occupant restraint controller (ORC) and are connected to the vehicle electrical system through
a dedicated take out of the body wire harness by a keyed and latching yellow molded plastic
connector insulator to ensure a secure connection.

The seat belt tensioners cannot be repaired and, if ineffective or damaged, the entire front seat
belt and retractor unit must be replaced. If the front airbags have been deployed, the seat belt
tensioners have also been deployed. The seat belt tensioners are not intended for reuse and
must be replaced following any front airbag deployment. A growling or grinding sound while
attempting to operate the seat belt retractor is a sure indication that the seat belt tensioner has
been deployed and requires replacement.

Rollover sensing is the ability to sense the conditions leading up to a vehicle rollover event.
Rollover sensing is used for enhanced restraint systems on some vehicles. These enhanced
systems provide additional protection for the vehicle occupants in the event the vehicle rolls over.
When the ACM of a rollover sensing equipped vehicle determines a rollover event is occurring, the
ACM deploys both pretensioners for slow developing events or both pretensioners and both side
curtain airbags for faster developing events to protect the occupants.
+ 9+

Figure 90 Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) Panel

The Dodge Durango SSV utilizes a three-zone, automatic temperature control (ATC) HVAC system.
Unique to the SSV is the absence of the rear climate control head.
Note:
To maintain the performance level of the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning
(HVAC) system, the engine cooling system must be properly maintained. The use of
a bug screen is not recommended. Any obstructions in front of the radiator or A/C
condenser will reduce the performance of the A/C and engine cooling systems.
The engine cooling system includes the radiator, thermostat, radiator hoses, and the engine
coolant pump.
&
The automatic temperature control (ATC) allows both driver and front passenger seat occupants
to select individual comfort settings.
When occupants in the vehicle select the AUTO mode operation, a comfort temperature can be
set by using the temperature up and down buttons, and the auto blower operation will be set
automatically.
The system provides set-and-forget operation for optimum comfort and convenience.
The system can be controlled manually, if desired.
The ATC system automatically maintains the interior comfort level desired by the driver and
passenger.

Always load a trailer with 60% to 65% of the weight in the front of the trailer. This places 10% to
15% of the gross trailer weight (GTW) on the tow hitch of your vehicle. Loads balanced over the
wheels, or heavier in the rear, can cause the trailer to sway severely side-to-side which will cause
loss of control of vehicle and trailer. Failure to load trailers heavier in front is the cause of many
trailer collisions.
208

Trailer Towing
Consider the following items when computing the weight on the front/rear axles of the vehicle:
The trailer tongue weight of the trailer
The weight of any other type of cargo or equipment put in or on the vehicle
The weight of the driver and all passengers

If a vehicle is not immediately delivered to the customer, store the vehicle according to the
following guidelines.
If possible, store the vehicle indoors, in a clean and dry place.
If vehicles must be stored outside:
Avoid storage locations near obvious sources of industrial or environmental contamination
(such as, trees, factories, steam or vapor vents, railroad tracks, etc.)
Maintain tight security to help prevent vandalism; inspect the vehicle regularly to check for
such damage
If the vehicle must be parked on an incline, park it with the front end higher than the rear
This prevents hydrostatic lock caused by fuel draining into the engine
Rinse the vehicle at least once a week; wash away the snow more often because it can trap
harmful contaminants; dry all horizontal surfaces

Figure 113 IOD Fuse

All vehicles are equipped with an ignition-OFF draw (IOD) fuse that is disconnected within the
integrated power module when the vehicle is shipped from the factory. Dealer personnel are to
reconnect the IOD fuse in the integrated power module as part of the preparation procedures
performed just prior to new vehicle delivery. The IOD fuse can be removed to avoid discharging
the battery by disconnecting non-essential, low-current memory functions that are normally on
at all times. A detent on the IOD fuse holder allows it to be stored in its normal cavity but out of
contact. The holder is pushed into place to restore power to the systems it supplies. When the
vehicle is prepared for delivery, the IOD function of this fuse becomes transparent and the fuse
that has been assigned the IOD designation becomes another Fused B (+) circuit fuse.
236

!
The following circuits are protected by the IOD fuse:
Cluster (CCN)
Electronic overhead module (EOM)
Sentry key remote entry module (SKREEM)
Video module (DVD system), spot Lamps, police dome light
Hands free telephone module
Map lamps
Glove box lamp
Courtesy lamps
Radio
The IOD fuse can be used by the vehicle owner as a convenient means of reducing battery
depletion when a vehicle is to be stored for periods not to exceed about 30 days. However, it
must be remembered that disconnecting the IOD fuse will not eliminate IOD, but only reduce this
normal condition. If a vehicle will be stored for more than about 30 days, the battery negative
cable should be disconnected to eliminate normal IOD; and, the battery should be tested and
recharged at regular intervals during the vehicle storage period to prevent the battery from
becoming discharged or damaged.
