PRECAUTIONS BEFORE SERVICE wxww

PROTECTING THE VEHICLE
If there is a likelihood of damaging painted or interior parts
during service operations, protect them with suitable covers
(such as seat covers, fender covers, etc.).

REMOVAL AND DISASSEMBLY

When checking a malfunction, find the cause of the problem. If
it is determined that removal and/or disassembly is necessary,
perform the work by following the procedures contained in this
Service Manual.

If punch marks or mating marks are made to avoid error in

assembly and to facilitate the assembly work, be sure’to make
them in locations which will have no detrimental effect on
performance and/or appearances.
OOV663 If an area having many parts, similar parts, and/or parts which
are symmetrical right and left is disassembled; be sure to
arrange the parts so that they do not become mixed during the
assembly process.
1. Arrange the parts removed in the proper order.
2. Determine which parts are to be reused and which are to
be replaced.
3. If bolts, nuts, etc., are to be replaced, be sure to use only
the exact size specified.

SPECIAL TOOLS
If other tools are substituted for the special tools to do service
or repair work, there is the danger that vehicle parts might be
damaged, or the technician might be injured; therefore, be sure
to use the special tool whenever doing any work for which the
use of one is specified.

PARTS
When replacing parts, use MOPAR genuine parts.

VEHICLE WASHING
If high-pressure car-washing equipment or steam car-washing
equipment is used to wash the vehicle, be sure to maintain the
spray nozzle at a distance of at least 300 mm (12 in.) from any
plastic parts and all opening parts (doors, luggage compart-
ment, etc.).

mm (In.1 smo59

SERVICING ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

1. Note the following before proceeding with work on the
electrical system.
Note that the following must never be done:
Unauthorized modifications of any electrical device or
wiring, because such modifications might lead to a vehicle
malfunction, over-capacity or short-circuit that could result
in a fire in the vehicle.
2. When servicing the electrical system, disconnect the
negative cable terminal from the batten/.

Caution
1. Before connecting or disconnecting the negative
cable, be sure to turn off the ignition switch and the
lighting switch.
(If this is not done, there is the possibility of
semiconductor parts being damaged.)
2. For MPI-equipped models, after completion of the
work steps [when the battery’s negative (-) termi-
nal is connected], warm up the engine and allow it
to idle for approximately five minutes under the
conditions described below, in order to stabilize
engine control conditions, and then check to be
sure that the idling is satisfactory.
Engine coolant temperature: 85-95°C (185-203°F)
Lights, electric fans, accessories: OFF
Transaxle: neutral position
(A/T models: “N” or “P”)
Steering wheel: neutral (center) position
 INTRODUCTION AND MASTER TROUBLESHOOTING - Precautions before Set&e 15

WIRING HARNESSES
1. Secure the wiring harnesses by using cla’mps. However, for
any harness which passes to the engine or other vibrating
parts of the vehicle, allow some slack within a range that
does not allow the engine vibrations to cause the harness
to come into contact with any of the surrounding parts.
Then secure the harness by using a clamp.
In addition, if a mounting indication mark (yellow tape) is on
a harness, secure the indication mark in the specified
location.

2. If any section of a wiring harness contacts the edge of a

part, or a corner, wrap the section of the harness with tape
or something similar in order to protect it from damage.

F16171

Correct 3. When disconnecting a connector, be sure to pull only the

connector, not the harness.

4. Disconnect connectors which have catches by pressing in

the direction indicated by the arrows in the illustration.

connectors until they snap.

ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS
1. When installing any of the vehicle parts, be careful not to
pinch or damage any of the wiring harnesses.

Cl6362

2. Sensors, relays, etc., are sensitive to strong impacts.

Handle them with care so that they are not dropped or
mishandled.
,**

OOYSss

3. The electronic parts used for relays, etc., are sensitive to

heat. If any service which causes a temperature of 80°C
(176°F) or more is performed, remove the part or parts in
question before carrying out the service.

FUSES AND FUSIBLE LINKS

OOV833
1. If a blown-out fuse is to be replaced, be sure to use only a
fuse of the specified capacity. If a fuse of a capacity larger
than that specified is used, parts may be damaged and the
circuit may not be protected adequately.

Caution
1. If a fuse is blown-out, be sure to eliminate the cause
of the problem before installing a new fuse. ;i
2. Check the condition of fuse holders. If rust or dirt is
found, clean metal parts with a fine-grained sand-
paper until proper metal-to-metal contact is made.
10A 15A Poor contact of any fuse holder will often lead to
voltage drop or heating in the circuit and colild
COY569 result in improper circuit operation.

MORE TECHNICIANS .-
I-7. I
If the service work is to be done by two or more technicians
working together, extra caution must be taken.

NOTE ON INSTALLATION OF RADIO EQIJIPMEATe

The computers of the electronic control system has been
designed so that external radio waves will not interfere with
their operation.
However, if antenna or cable of amateur transceiver etc. is
routed near the computers, it may affect the operation of the
computers, even if the output of the transceiver is no more
than 25W.
To protect each of the computers from interference by
transmitter (hum, transceiver, etc.), the following should be
observed.
1. Install the antenna on the roof or rear bumper.
2. Because radio waves are emitted from the coaxial cable of
the antenna, keep it 200 mm (8 in.) away from the
computers and the wiring harness. If the cable must cross h
the wiring harness, route it so that it runs at right angles to
the wiring harness.
3. The antenna and the cable should be well matched, and the
standing-wave ratio* should be kept low.
4. A transmitter having a large output should not be installed
in the vehicle.
5. After installation of transmitter, run the engine at idle, emit
radio waves from the transmitter and make sure that the
engine is not affected.
Voltage Maximum
distribution voltage “STANDING-WAVE RATIO
If an antenna and a cable having different impedances are
connected, the input impedance Zi will vary in accordance with
the length of the cable and the frequency of the transmitter,
and the voltage distribution will also vary in accordance with
the location.
The ratio between this maximum voltage and minimum voltage
is called the standing-wave ratio. It can also be represented by
the ratio between the impedances of the antenna and the
cable.
The amount of radio waves emitted from the cable increases
as the standing-wave ratio increases, and this increases the
possibility of the electronic components being adversely
affected.
