WARNING: Chrysler Group LLC engineering's position on the use of heat during
collision repair is as follows:
Water leaks can be caused by poor sealing, improper body component alignment, body seam porosity, missing
plugs, or blocked drain holes. Centrifugal and gravitational force can cause water to drip from a location away
from the actual leak point, making leak detection difficult. All body sealing points should be water tight in
normal wet-driving conditions. Water flowing downward from the front of the vehicle should not enter the
passenger or luggage compartment. Moving sealing surfaces will not always seal water tight under all
conditions. At times, side glass or door seals will allow water to enter the passenger compartment during high
pressure washing or hard driving rain (severe) conditions. Overcompensating on door or glass adjustments to
stop a water leak that occurs under severe conditions can cause premature seal wear and excessive closing or
latching effort. After completing a repair, water test vehicle to verify leak has stopped before returning vehicle
to use.
Verify that floor and body plugs are in place, body drains are clear, and body components are properly aligned
and sealed. If component alignment or sealing is necessary, refer to the appropriate service information in this
article for proper procedures.
WARNING: Do not use electric shop lights or tools in water test area. Personal injury
can result.
When the conditions causing a water leak have been determined, simulate the conditions as closely as possible.
If a leak occurs with the vehicle parked in a steady light rain, flood the leak area with an open-ended
garden hose.
If a leak occurs while driving at highway speeds in a steady rain, test the leak area with a reasonable
velocity stream or fan spray of water. Direct the spray in a direction comparable to actual conditions.
If a leak occurs when the vehicle is parked on an incline, hoist the end or side of the vehicle to simulate
this condition. This method can be used when the leak occurs when the vehicle accelerates, stops or turns.
If the leak occurs on acceleration, hoist the front of the vehicle. If the leak occurs when braking, hoist the
back of the vehicle. If the leak occurs on left turns, hoist the left side of the vehicle. If the leak occurs on
right turns, hoist the right side of the vehicle. For hoisting recommendations. Refer to HOISTING,
STANDARD PROCEDURE .
To detect a water leak point-of-entry, do a water test and watch for water tracks or droplets forming on the
inside of the vehicle. If necessary, remove interior trim covers or panels to gain visual access to the leak area. If
the hose cannot be positioned without being held, have someone help do the water test.
Some water leaks must be tested for a considerable length of time to become apparent. When a leak appears,
find the highest point of the water track or drop. The highest point usually will show the point of entry. After
leak point has been found, repair the leak and water test to verify that the leak has stopped.
Locating the entry point of water that is leaking into a cavity between panels can be difficult. The trapped water
may splash or run from the cavity, often at a distance from the entry point. Most water leaks of this type become
apparent after accelerating, stopping, turning, or when on an incline.
When a leak point area is visually obstructed, use a suitable mirror to gain visual access. A mirror can also be
used to deflect light to a limited-access area to assist in locating a leak point.
Some water leaks in the luggage compartment can be detected without water testing. Position the vehicle in a
brightly lit area. From inside the darkened luggage compartment inspect around seals and body seams. If
necessary, have a helper direct a drop light over the suspected leak areas around the luggage compartment. If
light is visible through a normally sealed location, water could enter through the opening.
When a water leak into the passenger compartment cannot be detected by water testing, pressurize the
passenger compartment and soap test exterior of the vehicle. To pressurize the passenger compartment, close all
doors and windows, start engine, and set heater control to high blower in HEAT position. If engine can not be
started, connect a charger to the battery to ensure adequate voltage to the blower. With interior pressurized,
apply dish detergent solution to suspected leak area on the exterior of the vehicle. Apply detergent solution with
spray device or soft bristle brush. If soap bubbles occur at a body seam, joint, seal or gasket, the leak entry point
could be at that location.
WATER LEAKS
This service information applies to all Ram models, 2009 MY and beyond.
Each leak area can have multiple root causes, as noted in the diagnosis
chart. It is important to water test each repair before starting the next.
If a leak cannot be reproduced, it is due to the period of time the vehicle is
under wet conditions. Some leaks may take hours before leaking.
If a leak cannot be reproduced, apply all the repairs as noted in the
diagnosis chart.
It is important to understand where the leak ENDS up when diagnosing the
vehicle. Where the leak ends up, does not always explain where the leak
originates. Refer to the DIAGNOSIS CHART when determining which
repairs to perform.
This repair procedure does NOT cover every possible water leak on the
RAM. The issues identified in this document are the severe leaks that may
occur in the field.
Generally, a car wash is the preferred method to diagnose a vehicle.
The content identifies the known areas of water leaks, the critical
characteristics of each area and how to repair them.
DIAGNOSIS CHART
WATER ENTERING THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE GRAB HANDLE OR OVERHEAD CONSOLE

replaced.
2. If the water leak is found around the parameter of the back-glass due to urethane skips it is recommended
to apply Mopar Glass Sealer.
3. Water test area inspecting for water entering vehicle. If water still enters vehicle, back-glass will have to
be replaced.
Parts Required:
NOTE: It is important to fill the entire seam located within the brackets to be
certain of full coverage and proper sealing of the rat hole.
1. Review examples below of what to look for and make certain they are properly installed and seated
against the body of the vehicle. Example1: Seal folded - Example 2: Exhauster not fully seated
2. If any of the conditions are found remove exhauster from vehicle inspect for tearing or ripping of the seal.
If seal has no tears or rips then reinstall on to vehicle making sure it clicks in on all four corners and that
the seal is not rolled.
3. If seal is damaged or torn then replace body exhauster.
WIND NOISE
Wind noise is the result of most air leaks. Air leaks can be caused by poor sealing, improper body component
alignment, body seam porosity, or missing plugs in the engine compartment or door hinge pillar areas. All body
sealing points should be airtight in normal driving conditions. Moving sealing surfaces will not always seal
airtight under all conditions. At times, side glass or door seals will allow wind noise to be noticed in the
passenger compartment during high cross winds. Over compensating on door or glass adjustments to stop wind
noise that occurs under severe conditions can cause premature seal wear and excessive closing or latching
effort. After a repair procedure has been performed, test vehicle to verify noise has stopped before returning
vehicle to use.
Verify that floor and body plugs are in place and body components are aligned and sealed. If component
alignment or sealing is necessary, refer to the appropriate service information in this article for proper
procedures.
1. Drive the vehicle to verify the general location of the wind noise.
2. Apply 50 mm (2 in.) masking tape in 150 mm (6 in.) lengths along weatherstrips, weld seams or
moldings. After each length is applied, drive the vehicle. If noise goes away after a piece of tape is
applied, remove tape, locate, and repair defect.
Moldings standing away from body surface can catch wind and whistle.
Gaps in sealed areas behind overhanging body flanges can cause wind-rushing sounds.
Misaligned movable components.
Missing or improperly installed plugs in pillars.
Weld burn through holes.
Improperly installed roof rack cross bars.
Side door mirror leaks.
STANDARD PROCEDURE
BODY LUBRICATION
LUBRICATION REQUIREMENTS
Locks and all body pivot points, including such items as seat tracks, door hinge pivot points and rollers, liftgate,
tailgate, sliding doors and hood hinges, should be lubricated periodically with a lithium based grease such as
Mopar ® Spray White Lube to ensure quiet, easy operation and to protect against rust and wear. Prior to the
application of any lubricant, wipe the parts clean, to remove dust and grit. After lubricating, excess oil and
grease should be removed. Particular attention should also be given to hood latching components to make sure
they function properly. When performing other underhood services, clean and lubricate the hood latch release
mechanism and safety catch.
The external lock cylinders should be lubricated twice a year, preferably in the fall and spring. Apply a small
amount of a high quality lubricant such as Mopar ® Lock Cylinder Lubricant directly into the lock cylinder.
LUBRICANT APPLICATION
4. Cycle the lock cylinder mechanism several times to allow the lubricant to flow throughout the cylinder.
5. Wipe all lubricant from exterior of lock cylinder and key.
LUBRICANT USAGE
Engine Oil
HEAT STAKING
Buzz, squeak and rattles (BSR) may be caused by any one or more of the following and may be corrected as
indicated:
Many BSR complaints such as loose trim, can be serviced using the Mopar® Parts BSR Noise Reduction Kit.
This kit contains various tapes including foam, flock and anti-squeak used to eliminate noises caused by metal,
plastic and vinyl components. Long life lubricants and greases can also be used on a variety of components.
Refer to the table below for material contents and usage.
Net, form and pierce is a manufacturing process which takes place during the original build of the vehicle. The
original part will have a beveled platform that will decrease toward the fastener location mounting hole.
Replacement parts in these areas may not include bevel (form) and / or fastener hole (pierce) and will need to be
adapted for proper fit and finish.
The primary locations which may utilize net, form and pierce are:
NOTE: The thickness of shims is not to exceed the original thickness of the factory
bevel. If more shims are needed damage is still present and must be repaired
properly.
If the replacement part did not come with a fastener hole, one of equal size and location will have to be drilled.
Body shims should be used in the fender reinforcement to front end module. The hood hinge area, fender tower
mounts, and rear body header will utilize washers as spacers where a specific spacer does not exist. The shims
and spacers should be sealed between each other and to the stationary surface. Care should be taken when
smoothing sealer around washers to ensure undetectable repair. Refinish the repair area per the paint
manufacturers recommendations for corrosion resistance and appearance purposes.
There are many different types of plastics used in today's automotive environment. We group plastics in three
different categories: Rigid, Semi-Rigid, and Flexible. Any of these plastics may require the use of an adhesion
promoter for repair. These types of plastic are used extensively on Chrysler LLC vehicles. Always follow repair
material manufacturer's plastic identification and repair procedures.
RIGID PLASTICS
Examples of rigid plastic use: Fascias, Hoods, Doors, and other Body Panels, which include SMC, ABS, and
Polycarbonates.
SEMI-RIGID PLASTICS
Examples of semi-rigid plastic use: Interior Panels, Under Hood Panels, and other Body Trim Panels.
FLEXIBLE PLASTICS
Examples of flexible plastic use: Fascias, Body Moldings, and upper and lower Fascia Covers.
REPAIR PROCEDURE
The repair procedure for all three categories of plastics is basically the same. The one difference is the material
used for the repair. The materials must be specific for each substrate, rigid repair material for rigid plastic
repair, semi-rigid repair material for semi-rigid plastic repair and flexible repair material for flexible plastic
repair.
Adhesion Promoters/Surface Modifiers are required for certain plastics. All three categories may have plastics
that require the use of adhesion promoter/surface modifiers. Always follow repair material manufacturer's
plastic identification and repair procedures.
WARNING: Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious or fatal injury.
NOTE: When holes must be drilled or cut in body panels, verify locations of
internal body components and electrical wiring. Damage to vehicle can
result.
Do not use abrasive chemicals or compounds on undamaged painted
surfaces around repair areas. Damage to finish can result.
PANEL SECTIONING
1 - EXISTING PANEL
2 - NEW PANEL
3 - PANEL ADHESIVE
4 - BONDING STRIP
If it is required to section a large panel for a plastic repair, it will be necessary to reinforce the panel. To bond
two plastic panels together, a reinforcement must overlap both panels. The panels must be "V'd" at a 20 degree
angle. The area to be reinforced should be washed, then sanded. Be sure to wipe off any excess soap and water
when finished. Lightly sand or abrade the plastic with an abrasive pad or sandpaper. Blow off any dust with
compressed air or wipe with a clean dry rag.
When bonding plastic panels, follow repair material manufacturers recommendations. Be sure that enough
adhesive has been applied to allow squeeze out and to fill the full bond line. Once the pieces have been brought
together, do not move them until the adhesive is cured. The assembly can be held together with clamps, rivets,
etc. A faster cure can be obtained by heating with a heat lamp or heat gun. After the parts have been bonded and
have had time to cure, rough sand the seam and apply the final adhesive filler to the area being repaired. Smooth
the filler with a spreader, wooden tongue depressor, or squeegee. For fine texturing, a small amount of water
can be applied to the filler surface while smoothing. The cured filler can be sanded as necessary and, as a final
step, cleanup can be done with soapy water. Wipe the surface clean with a dry cloth allowing time for the panel
to dry before moving on with the repair.
PANEL REINFORCEMENT
1 - SOFTENED EDGES
2 - PANEL ADHESIVE
3 - BONDING STRIP
Structural repair procedures for rigid panels with large cracks and holes will require a reinforcement backing.
Reinforcements can be made with several applications of glass cloth saturated with structural adhesive. Semi-
rigid or flexible repair materials should be used for semi-rigid or flexible backing reinforcement and open
meshed fiberglass dry wall tape can be used to form a reinforcement. The dry wall tape allows the resin to
penetrate through and make a good bond between the panel and the adhesive. Structurally, the more dry wall
tape used, the stronger the repair.
1 - PANEL ADHESIVE
2 - REINFORCEMENT
Another kind of repair that can be done to repair large cracks and holes is to use a scrap piece of similar plastic
and bond with structural adhesive. The reinforcement should cover the entire break and should have a generous
amount of overlap on either side of the cracked or broken area.
When repairing plastic, the damaged area is first "V'd" out, or beveled. Large bonding areas are desirable when
repairing plastic because small repairs are less likely to hold permanently. Beveling the area around a crack at a
20° angle will increase the bonding surface for a repair. It is recommended that sharp edges be avoided because
the joint may show through after the panel is refinished.
Panel repair for both flexible and rigid panels are basically the same. The primary difference between
flexible panel repair and rigid panel repair is in the adhesive materials used.
The technician should first decide what needs to be done when working on any type of body panel. One
should determine if it is possible to return the damage part to its original strength and appearance without
exceeding the value of the replacement part.
When plastic repairs are required, it is recommended that the part be left on the vehicle when ever
possible. That will save time, and the panel will remain stationary during the repair. Misalignment can
cause stress in the repair areas and can result in future failure.
VISUAL INSPECTION
1 - PUNCTURE
Composite materials can mask the severity of an accident. Adhesive bond lines, interior structure of the doors,
and steel structures need to be inspected carefully to get a true damage assessment. Close inspection may
require partial removal of interior trim or inner panels.
Identify the type of repair: Puncture (1) or Crack - Damage that has penetrated completely through the panel.
Damage is confined to one general area; a panel section is not required. However, a backer panel, open
fiberglass tape, or matted material must be bonded from behind.
If a body panel has been punctured, cracked, or crushed, the damaged area must be removed from the panel to
achieve a successful repair. All spider web cracks leading away from a damaged area must be stopped or
removed. To stop a running crack in a panel, drill a 6 mm (0.250 in.) hole at the end of the crack farthest away
from the damage. If spider web cracks can not be stopped, the panel would require replacement. The surfaces
around the damaged area should be stripped of paint and freed from wax and oil. Sand surfaces around repair
area with 80 -120 grit sandpaper, or equivalent, to assure adhesion of repair materials.
PATCHING PANELS
1 - CUTOUT
2 - DAMAGED BODY PANEL
3 - 4 MM (0.160 IN.) HOLES
4 - PATCH CUT TO SIZE
A panel that has extensive puncture type damage can be repaired by cutting out the damaged material. Use a
suitable reciprocating saw or cut off wheel to remove the section of the panel that is damaged. The piece cut out
can be used as a template to shape the new patch. It is not necessary to have access to the back of the panel to
install a patch. Bevel edges of cutout at 20° to expose a larger bonding area on the outer side. This will allow for
an increased reinforcement areas.
1 - STRUCTURAL ADHESIVE
A patch can be fabricated from any rigid fiberglass panel that has comparable contour with the repair area. Lift
gates and fenders can be used to supply patch material. If existing material is not available or compatible, a
patch can be constructed with adhesive and reinforcement mesh (dry wall tape). Perform the following
operation if required:
1. Cover waxed paper or plastic with adhesive backed nylon mesh (dry wall tape) larger than the patch
required.
2. Tape waxed paper or plastic sheet with mesh to a surface that has a compatible contour to the repair area.
3. Apply a liberal coat of adhesive over the reinforcement mesh. If necessary apply a second or third coat of
adhesive and mesh after first coat has cured. The thickness of the patch should be the same as the repair
area.
4. After patch has cured, peel waxed paper or plastic from the back of the patch.
5. If desired, a thin film coat of adhesive can be applied to the back of the patch to cover mesh for added
strength.
1 - SUPPORT SQUARES
2 - SCREWS
3 - DAMAGED BODY PANEL
1. Make a paper or cardboard pattern the size and shape of the cutout hole in the panel.
2. Trim 3 mm (0.125 in.) from edges of pattern so patch will have a gap between connecting surfaces.
1 - CUTOUT
2 - SUPPORT SQUARES
12. Position patch in cutout (1) against support squares (2) and adjust patch until the gap is equal along all
sides.
13. Drill 3 mm (0.125 in.) holes in the support squares through the pre-drilled holes in the patch.

3 - DISC GRINDER
17. Using a 125 mm (5 in.) 24 grit disc grinder (3), grind a 50 mm (2 in.) to 75 mm (3 in.) wide and 75% -
80% deep (original material thickness) path across the gaps (2) around the patch (1). With compressed
air, blow dust from around patch.
18. Apply adhesive backed nylon mesh (dry wall tape) over gaps around patch.
19. Mix enough adhesive to cover the entire patch area.
1 - ADHESIVE
2 - MESH
3 - PATCH
4 - SPREADER
20. Apply adhesive over the mesh around patch, and smooth epoxy with a wide spreader to reduce finish
grinding. Use two to three layers of mesh and adhesive to create a stronger repair.
After patch panel is installed, the patch area can be finished using the same methods as finishing other types of
body panels. If mesh material is exposed in the patched area, grind surface down, and apply a coat of high
quality rigid plastic body filler. Prime, block sand, and paint as required.

DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
This vehicle features an Active Grille Shutter (AGS) system. The AGS is located behind the front lower portion
of the grill and in front of the radiator.
The AGS system consist of an electric motor, shutter vanes, linkage, and seals that are located behind the front
grille. The AGS components include:
Aerodynamics plays an important role in regards to fuel efficiency. Aerodynamic drag increases as vehicle
speed increases. With the vehicle traveling at highway speeds, engine power requirements increase in order to
overcome wind drag across the front of the vehicle. Reducing the wind drag coefficient across the front of the
vehicle is directly proportional to an improvement in fuel efficiency.
OPERATION
OPERATION
The AGS system is controlled by the powertrain control module (PCM) over a dedicated network LIN bus.
When the ambient air and engine coolant temperatures are below a specified threshold, airflow across the
radiator is not required. When airflow across the radiator is not required and vehicle speeds reach a calibrated
threshold, the PCM will command the shutter vanes to close.
Closing the grill shutter vanes creates an improved drag coefficient across the front of the vehicle. If additional
cooling is required due to increasing engine coolant temperatures, the PCM commands the grill shutter vanes to
open. In cold climates, the active grill shutter system may be used to improve engine coolant warm-up times
further increasing fuel economy.
To aid with diagnosis, the grill shutter vanes can be commanded to the open or closed positions with a scan tool.
The active grill shutters perform an initialization each time the vehicle is started. The initialization can be used
as a quick way to validate the operation of the AGS. To perform the AGS validation, start the engine and
observe the grill shutters, the shutters will cycle to the fully open position and then to the fully closed positions
to initialize and learn the hard stops on the grill shutter frame for that key cycle.
If the AGS smart module detects the grill shutters are jammed, it will attempt to free them by cycling the
shutters from the open to close positions 3 times. If this condition is detected when the ambient air temperature
is greater than 4.4° C (40° F) the MIL will illuminate and a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) will set. If the
ambient air temperature is below 4.4° C (40° F) and a jammed condition is detected, the smart module will
assume the shutters are frozen and will not illuminate the MIL or set a DTC.
The active grill shutter assembly contains an integral smart module, the module receives a command position
signal from the PCM to properly position the shutter vanes. The AGS module reports the position to the PCM
on the LIN bus. The AGS module four-pin connector also contains a battery voltage, ignition voltage, and a
ground circuit.

WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury during and following any seat belt or child
restraint anchor service, carefully inspect all seat belts, buckles,
mounting hardware, retractors, tether straps, and anchors for proper
installation, operation, or damage. Replace any belt that is cut, frayed, or
torn. Straighten any belt that is twisted. Tighten any loose fasteners.
Replace any belt that has a damaged or ineffective buckle or retractor.
Replace any belt that has a bent or damaged latch plate or anchor plate.
Replace any child restraint anchor or the unit to which the anchor is
integral that has been bent or damaged. Never attempt to repair a seat
belt or child restraint component. Always replace damaged or ineffective
seat belt and child restraint components with the correct, new and
unused replacement parts listed in the Chrysler Mopar® Parts Catalog.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal
injury.
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with side curtain
airbags, disable the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable
the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before attempting any steering
wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor or
instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate
the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system
capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service.
This is the only sure way to disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper
precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury, do not attempt to dismantle an airbag unit
or tamper with its inflator. Do not puncture, incinerate or bring into
contact with electricity. Do not store at temperatures exceeding 93° C
(200° F). An airbag inflator unit may contain sodium azide and potassium
nitrate. These materials are poisonous and extremely flammable. Contact
with acid, water, or heavy metals may produce harmful and irritating
gases (sodium hydroxide is formed in the presence of moisture) or
combustible compounds. An airbag inflator unit may also contain a gas
canister pressurized to over 17.24 kPa (2500 psi). Failure to follow these
instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury when handling a seat belt tensioner
retractor. Exercise proper care to keep fingers out from under the
retractor cover and away from the seat belt webbing where it exits from
the retractor cover. Failure to follow these instructions may result in
possible serious or fatal injury.
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury, replace all Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS) components only with parts specified in the Chrysler Mopar® Parts
Catalog. Substitute parts may appear interchangeable, but internal
differences may result in inferior occupant protection.
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury, the fasteners, screws, and bolts originally
used for the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) components must
never be replaced with any substitutes. These fasteners have special
coatings and are specifically designed for the SRS. Anytime a new
fastener is needed, replace it with the correct fasteners provided in the
service package or specified in the Chrysler Mopar® Parts Catalog.
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury when a steering column has an airbag unit
attached, never place the column on the floor or any other surface with
the steering wheel or airbag unit face down. Failure to follow these

WARNING
deploy when required, or to deploy when not required. Only minor cuts or
abrasions of wire and terminal insulation where the conductive material
has not been damaged, or connector insulators where the integrity of the
latching and locking mechanisms have not been compromised may be
repaired using appropriate methods.
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with side curtain
airbags, disable the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS). Refer to
RESTRAINTS - SERVICE INFORMATION - 2500 HD & 3500 HD before
attempting any Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) diagnosis or service.
The ORC may contain a rollover sensor, which enables the system to
deploy the side SRS components in the event of a vehicle rollover event.
If an ORC containing a rollover sensor is accidentally rolled during
service while still connected to battery power, the side SRS components
will deploy. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable,
then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before
performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to
disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in
accidental airbag deployment.
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable
the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS). Refer to RESTRAINTS -
SERVICE INFORMATION - 2500 HD & 3500 HD before attempting any
steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt tensioner, impact
sensor or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect
and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for
the system capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or
service. This is the only sure way to disable the SRS. Failure to take the
proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury, do not attempt to dismantle an airbag unit
or tamper with its inflator Refer to RESTRAINTS - SERVICE
INFORMATION - 2500 HD & 3500 HD . Do not puncture, incinerate or bring
into contact with electricity. Do not store at temperatures exceeding 93° C
(200° F). An airbag inflator unit may contain sodium azide and potassium
nitrate. These materials are poisonous and extremely flammable. Contact
with acid, water, or heavy metals may produce harmful and irritating
gases (sodium hydroxide is formed in the presence of moisture) or
combustible compounds. An airbag inflator unit may also contain a gas
canister pressurized to over 17.24 kPa (2500 psi). Failure to follow these
instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury when handling a seat belt tensioner
retractor. Exercise proper care to keep fingers out from under the
retractor cover and away from the seat belt webbing where it exits from
the retractor cover. Failure to follow these instructions may result in
possible serious or fatal injury.
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury, replace all Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS) components only with parts specified in the Chrysler Mopar® Parts
Catalog. Substitute parts may appear interchangeable, but internal
differences may result in inferior occupant protection.
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury, the fasteners, screws, and bolts originally
used for the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) components must
never be replaced with any substitutes. These fasteners have special
coatings and are specifically designed for the SRS. Anytime a new
fastener is needed, replace it with the correct fasteners provided in the
service package or specified in the Chrysler Mopar® Parts Catalog.
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury when a steering column has an airbag unit
attached, never place the column on the floor or any other surface with
the steering wheel or airbag unit face down. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.

SUNROOF
DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
The power sunroof system allows the sunroof to be opened, closed or placed in the vent position electrically by
actuating a switch in the overhead console. The sunroof will operate normally with the key in any position,
while the Accessory Delay system is active.
The sunroof glass panel tilts upward at the rear for ventilation and slides rearward under the roof when open.
The glass panel seals flush with the roof in the closed position to eliminate wind noise. The sunroof includes a
manual-sliding sunshade to cover the deep-tinted glass panel.
In addition to the standard power sunroof operation, this vehicle offers several additional features. There is an
express (one-touch) opening and closing feature as well as Excessive Force Limitation (EFL). The EFL function
detects obstacles trapped between the glass and the vehicle roof during a closing motion. Upon sensing an
obstacle the EFL function will reverse direction of the glass to allow removal of the obstacle.

OPERATION
OPERATION
This vehicle has a vent, tilt and slide power sunroof system with express (one-touch) open and closing feature.
The sunroof system receives constant battery feed through a fuse in the Power Distribution Center (PDC). The
sunroof will operate normally with the key in the "RUN" or "ACCESSORY" position. If the sunroof is moving
when the key is turned to the START position (crank engine), all motions will stop. The sunroof will also stop a
requested motion if the key is turned "OFF".
A combination push-button and rocker switch module mounted in the overhead console controls sunroof
operation. The sunroof switch is a rocker design with a push button in the center of the two halves of the rocker.
Pressing the rocker towards the front of the car commands the sunroof closed. Pressing the rocker towards the
rear of the car commands the sunroof open. Pressing the center push button commands the sunroof up into the
vent position (Rear of sunroof glass raises above the vehicle roof with glass still covering the sunroof opening).
All switch commands operate with the glass starting in any position. for additional information. Refer to
SWITCH, SUNROOF, OPERATION .
An electronic control system, integral to the motor/module assembly, provides the express open and close
functions. During express opening, the sunroof glass panel will first open to the "Comfort Stop" position. A
second press of the "OPEN" button on the rocker switch will move the glass panel to the full open position.
Pressing the "close" end of the rocker switch moves the sunroof glass panel to the full closed position. During
express closing, anytime an obstacle is detected in the way of the glass, the motor will stop and reverse travel to
avoid pinching an occupant's finger, ice in the track, etc. This function is called Excessive Force Limitation
(EFL). There are two methods of overriding the EFL function.
1. When three EFL events occur without the glass being allowed to fully close, the next close attempt will
only move while the close switch is continuously actuated. This allows the sunroof to be forced closed if
multiple close attempts fail.
2. If the sunroof close switch is continuously actuated during an EFL event, through the reversal, and during
a two second wait time, then continuing to hold the close switch will cause the roof to move towards
close with the EFL protection disabled. This allows the sunroof to be forced closed if it is known that a
reversal will occur. This secondary EFL override may be necessary when known debris (ice blockage for
example) is preventing the glass panel from closing.
While in EFL override, the closing motion will cease if the sunroof switch is released at any time.
For sunroof electrical system diagnosis and testing procedures. Refer to DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING .
The sliding glass panel is designed to seal water entry with a snug fit between the roof and the seal. The fit can
be checked by inserting a business card or equivalent, between the roof and the seal. The piece of paper should
have some resistance when pulled out when the glass panel is in the closed position. The sunroof housing will
drain off a minimum amount of water. Excessive wind noise could result if the gap clearances are exceeded.
The sunroof glass panel may need to be adjusted. Refer to GLASS, SUNROOF, ADJUSTMENTS.
Adequate drainage is provided by a drain trough in the sunroof housing which encircles the sliding glass panel
and leads to drain hoses. If a wet headliner or other water leak complaints are encountered, before performing
any adjustments, first ensure that the drainage system is not plugged or disconnected. Use a pint container to
pour water into the sunroof housing drain trough. If water flow is restricted, use compressed air to blow out any
material plugging the drain system. Retest system again.
NOTE: Care must be taken not to fold or kink the headliner upon removal.
1. Lower headliner as necessary to gain access to sunroof housing drain tubes. Refer to HEADLINER,

WARNING: Disconnect and isolate battery negative cable before attempting any
troubleshooting or repairs.
Do not disengage the clutch if the winch is under a load or wire rope
is under tension.
Do not route electrical cables across sharp edges.
Do not route electrical cables through or near moving parts.
Always wear heavy leather gloves when handling a wire rope.
Never let wire rope slip through your hands.
Always keep hands clear of wire rope, hook loop, hook and fairlead
opening during installation, operation, and when spooling in or out.
CAUTION: Do not leave the remote plugged into the winch when not in use. Leaving
the remote plugged in, may result in a dangerous condition and/or battery
drain.
DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
The winch uses the electrical power from the vehicle charging system to power a motor that winds wire rope
into the winch drum by means of planetary gear reduction.
Motor: The winch motor is powered by the vehicle electrical system and features a thermal protection
switch that automatically stops the motor function in the power-in direction if the motor gets too hot.
Winch Drum: The winch drum allows the wire rope to be stored on the winch and transmits force to the
wire rope.
Wire Rope: The wire rope allows the winch to be connected to an anchor to provide a pulling force.
Fairlead: The fairlead consists of four rollers and acts as guide for the wire rope and minimizes damage
to the rope.
Automatic Brake: The winch is equipped with an automatic brake that will stop rotation of the winch
drum if the winch motor is stopped.
Clutch Lever: The clutch lever allows the winch drum to be disconnected from the winch motor to allow
the wire rope to be pulled from the winch by hand.
Remote Socket: The remote socket allows the remote control to be attached to the control pack to allow
the winch to function.
Remote Control: The remote control provides the interface between the winch operator and the winch.
The remote control provides the ability to power the winch in, out, and stop the winch.
OPERATION
OPERATION
Winch: The winch uses the electrical power from the vehicle charging system to power a motor that winds wire
rope into the winch drum via planetary gear reduction. By nature, a winch is capable of generating very high
forces and should be used with care. Do not operate the winch without reading and understanding the complete
winch owner's manual.
Low Voltage Interrupt: The winch is equipped with a device that will interrupt winch function if the vehicle
charging system voltage drops to a low level. The winch will not power-in or out for 30 seconds if this device is
tripped. If the interrupt is tripped, the vehicle should be operated at high idle for a few minutes to allow the
vehicle charging system to recover before continuing to winch.
Winch Motor Thermal Protection: The winch is equipped with a thermal protection device in the motor. If
the winch is operated for an excessive duration, the device may interrupt motor function to protect the winch
motor. During this time the winch will power-out but will not power-in. Allow the winch motor to cool for a
few minutes before continuing operation of the winch. The winch will resume normal function once the motor
cools.
Remote Control: To operate the winch, the toggle switch is pressed down to power the winch in and up to
power the winch out. The winch will stop if the switch is left in the neutral (center) position.
Clutch Lever: The clutch lever is used to allow free spooling of the winch drum. Rotate the clutch lever on the
winch to disengage the clutch.

MOTOR, WINCH
DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
The winch is driven on one end by a two direction electric motor powered by the vehicle electrical system. The
motor is internally protected by a thermal switch that is activated when the motor gets too hot to operate
efficiently.
Winch motor controls consist of a relay pack mounted to the motor, and a remote control connected to the relay
pack with a cord. The winch power source cables are connected to the relay pack which in turn feeds power to
the winch motor through electrical cable connections. The main function of the relay pack is to allow the
operator to switch the winch on and off in both directions. The winch relay pack also includes a Low Voltage
Interrupt (LVI) used to prevent winch operation in the event of battery power dropping below 10 volts.

Electrical operation of the control assembly consists of four heavy duty relays, a thermal-switch located on the
motor armature brush holder and a Low Voltage Interrupt (LVI) located in the control assembly. The thermal-
switch interrupts the power-in function and the LVI affects both the power-in and power-out functions and must
be reset by allowing the charging circuit voltage to rise above 10 volts for more than 30 seconds. The thermal
switch is reset only by allowing the winch motor to cool adequately (about 30 minutes). Relay number 1 and 3
control current flow through the field windings and relay number 2 and 4 supply current to the motor armature.

In the power-out mode, relay number 2 and 3 are energized by the remote control switch. Current flows from
the positive battery terminal through relay number 3 then through the black motor cable to the number 2 and
number 1 field windings. From the black motor cable current then flows through solenoid number 2 to the
motor armature to ground.
In power-in mode, relay number 1 and 4 are energized. Current again flows from the battery positive cable, but
this time current flows through solenoid number 1 then through field winding number 1. Current flowing in the
reverse direction through the field windings cause the motor to turn in the opposite direction. From the red
motor cable current then flows through relay number 4 to the black cable going to the motor armature to
ground.
