THEORY OF OPERATION
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 power from the 12-Volt
electrical system and provides the necessary flow and pressure to the steering gear to provide normal power
steering. The EHPS Pump requires communication over the CAN C bus to function properly. The output flow
of the EHPS Pump is varied as a function of Steering Wheel Rate (received from SAS) and Vehicle Speed
(received from ABS Module) in order to provide the optimum flow of power steering fluid to the steering gear
under all operating conditions. The EHPS Pump will start to provide steering assist when the Vehicle 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 during operation the EHPS pump
will use a default vehicle speed of 85 km/h (59 mph) to calculate desired flow and as a result, steering effort
will no longer be speed sensitive. If the Steering Wheel Position message is lost the EHPS Pump will use a
default steering wheel rate of 230°/sec to calculate desired flow and as a result, steering effort may be higher on
evasive steering maneuvers. The EHPS pump will resume normal operation automatically once any missing
message or out of range condition noted above is restored to normal.
WHEN MONITORED:
SET CONDITION:
When the ignition is turned on, the Electro-Hydraulic Power Steering (EHPS) Pump checks to see if the last
shutdown occurred correctly. If it did not, this DTC will be set active for the remainder of the current key cycle.
The EHPS Pump will run normally even if this DTC is active.

THEORY OF OPERATION
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 power from the 12-Volt
electrical system and provides the necessary flow and pressure to the steering gear to provide normal power
steering. The EHPS Pump requires communication over the CAN C bus to function properly. The output flow
of the EHPS Pump is varied as a function of Steering Wheel Rate (received from SAS) and Vehicle Speed
(received from ABS Module) in order to provide the optimum flow of power steering fluid to the steering gear
under all operating conditions. The EHPS Pump will start to provide steering assist when the Vehicle 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 during operation the EHPS pump
will use a default vehicle speed of 85 km/h (59 mph) to calculate desired flow and as a result, steering effort
will no longer be speed sensitive. If the Steering Wheel Position message is lost the EHPS Pump will use a
default steering wheel rate of 230°/sec to calculate desired flow and as a result, steering effort may be higher on
evasive steering maneuvers. The EHPS pump will resume normal operation automatically once any missing
message or out of range condition noted above is restored to normal.
WHEN MONITORED:
Continuously.
SET CONDITION:
If the Electro-Hydraulic Power Steering (EPS) Module detects an internal fault, this DTC will set. Most of
internal faults that can set this DTC will result in the EPS Pump not operating for the remainder of the current
key cycle.

STANDARD PROCEDURE
NAG1 PRE-DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURE
For a complete wiring diagram refer to appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article
Perform the following pre-diagnostic troubleshooting procedures prior to performing any diagnostic test.
NOTE: Due to different power control configurations, the Transmission Control Relay
(if equipped) may be referred to as a PCM relay.
NOTE: Incorrect fluid level, and/or poor fluid condition can be the cause of many
transmission problems. Visually inspect the transmission and cooler lines for
leakage and repair as necessary and adjust the fluid level per the Service
Information.
Always perform diagnostics with a fully charged battery to avoid false symptoms.
1. With the scan tool, read the engine DTCs. Check and repair all engine DTCs prior to performing
transmission symptom diagnostic procedures.
2. With the scan tool, read and record all Transmission DTCs. Record the controller software version and
variant ID (configuration or level).
NOTE: Check for any Service Information Tune-ups or Technical Service Bulletins
(TSB) that may apply.
NOTE: If the TCM detects and stores a DTC, the TCM also stores the vehicles
operating conditions under which the DTC originally set. This information
is located using a scan tool under Environmental Data. Before erasing any
stored DTCs, it is recommended to record all available data to assist in
troubleshooting and duplicating the conditions and in which the DTC
originally set.
3. Verify the current software level of transmission controller. Various problems are corrected by software
upgrades (flash) to the transmission controller.
2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
2011 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION Electronic Shift Module (ESM) - Electrical Diagnostics - Grand Cherokee
4. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors to all components
related to the transmission and shift lever assembly. Clean and repair as necessary.
5. Most DTCs set on start up but some may only set by driving the vehicle. Note the when monitored and
set conditions of the reported DTC. If variant DTCs are present, perform their respective test first.
6. Verify the axle ratio and transfer case ratio.
NOTE: The Transfer case ratio must be programmed using the scan tool under
the appropriate gateway module (FCM, FDCM, and/or TIPM) even if
equipped with AWD or NO transfer case. Validate that the left to right tire
sizes on each axle are the same. Do not perform diagnostics using a
space-saver spare tire. Invalid tire sizes (right to left) may cause erroneous
DTCs to set.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The Memory System is made up of the Memory Seat Module (MSMD), Memory Switch, Driver Seat Switch,
Tilt/Telescope Switch, multiple Seat Motors which also each contain a hall-effect position sensor, and the Tilt
and Telescope Steering Motors, both of which contain a hall-effect position sensor.
When the Driver Seat Switch is used to command seat movement, a signal is sent from the Switch to the
MSMD via a MUX signal circuit. The MSMD will then command the appropriate Seat Motor or Motors to
move the seat in the commanded direction as long as the Driver Seat Switch is held in that direction. When seat
movement is commanded, the MSMD also powers the hall-effect position sensor located in each Seat Motor.
These hall-effect sensors provide feedback to the MSMD in relation to the seat's position. The Tilt and
Telescoping Steering operate in a similar manner, with the Tilt Switch and Telescope Switch sending a signal to
the MSMD from the Steering Column Control Module (SCCM) via the Controller Area Network (CAN) bus
circuit. The Tilt Motor and Telescope Motor are then commanded by the MSMD based on the Switch input.
The Tilt Motor and Telescope Motor also each have a hall-effect position sensor.
The Memory Switch is used to set and recall memory seat and steering positions. When a Memory Switch
button is pressed, a signal is sent from the Switch to the Driver Door Module (DDM) via a MUX signal circuit.
The DDM will then request the MSMD perform the function via the Controller Area Network (CAN) bus
circuit. If the SET button on the Memory Switch is pressed, followed by the 1 or 2 button, the MSMD will store
the seat and steering position based on the position inputs received from the hall-effect position sensor. If the 1
or 2 button on the Memory Switch is pressed, the MSMD will recall the stored position for that particular
selection and return the seat and steering column to the stored position. Memory position may also be recalled
using a linked FOBIK transmitter. For driver safety, the MSMD will prevent the memory recall function from
being initiated if the transmission gear selector lever is not in the Park position or if the vehicle is moving. For
further information. Refer to MODULE, MEMORY, SEAT , OPERATION .

THEORY OF OPERATION
The Memory System is made up of the Memory Seat Module (MSMD), Memory Switch, Driver Seat Switch,
2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
2011 ACCESSORIES AND EQUIPMENT Memory Seat Module (MSMD) - Electrical Diagnostics - Grand Cherokee
Tilt/Telescope Switch, multiple Seat Motors which also each contain a hall-effect position sensor, and the Tilt
and Telescope Steering Motors, both of which contain a hall-effect position sensor.
When the Driver Seat Switch is used to command seat movement, a signal is sent from the Switch to the
MSMD via a MUX signal circuit. The MSMD will then command the appropriate Seat Motor or Motors to
move the seat in the commanded direction as long as the Driver Seat Switch is held in that direction. When seat
movement is commanded, the MSMD also powers the hall-effect position sensor located in each Seat Motor.
These hall-effect sensors provide feedback to the MSMD in relation to the seat's position. The Tilt and
Telescoping Steering operate in a similar manner, with the Tilt Switch and Telescope Switch sending a signal to
the MSMD from the Steering Column Control Module (SCCM) via the Controller Area Network (CAN) bus
circuit. The Tilt Motor and Telescope Motor are then commanded by the MSMD based on the Switch input.
The Tilt Motor and Telescope Motor also each have a hall-effect position sensor.
The Memory Switch is used to set and recall memory seat and steering positions. When a Memory Switch
button is pressed, a signal is sent from the Switch to the Driver Door Module (DDM) via a MUX signal circuit.
The DDM will then request the MSMD perform the function via the Controller Area Network (CAN) bus
circuit. If the SET button on the Memory Switch is pressed, followed by the 1 or 2 button, the MSMD will store
the seat and steering position based on the position inputs received from the hall-effect position sensor. If the 1
or 2 button on the Memory Switch is pressed, the MSMD will recall the stored position for that particular
selection and return the seat and steering column to the stored position. Memory position may also be recalled
using a linked FOBIK transmitter. For driver safety, the MSMD will prevent the memory recall function from
being initiated if the transmission gear selector lever is not in the Park position or if the vehicle is moving. For
further information. Refer to MODULE, MEMORY, SEAT , OPERATION .
WHEN MONITORED:
SET CONDITION:
If sensor voltage is not within a specified range. The DTC will only set when the seat switch is moved in the
same direction three consecutive times.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The Memory System is made up of the Memory Seat Module (MSMD), Memory Switch, Driver Seat Switch,
2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
2011 ACCESSORIES AND EQUIPMENT Memory Seat Module (MSMD) - Electrical Diagnostics - Grand Cherokee
Tilt/Telescope Switch, multiple Seat Motors which also each contain a hall-effect position sensor, and the Tilt
and Telescope Steering Motors, both of which contain a hall-effect position sensor.
When the Driver Seat Switch is used to command seat movement, a signal is sent from the Switch to the
MSMD via a MUX signal circuit. The MSMD will then command the appropriate Seat Motor or Motors to
move the seat in the commanded direction as long as the Driver Seat Switch is held in that direction. When seat
movement is commanded, the MSMD also powers the hall-effect position sensor located in each Seat Motor.
These hall-effect sensors provide feedback to the MSMD in relation to the seat's position. The Tilt and
Telescoping Steering operate in a similar manner, with the Tilt Switch and Telescope Switch sending a signal to
the MSMD from the Steering Column Control Module (SCCM) via the Controller Area Network (CAN) bus
circuit. The Tilt Motor and Telescope Motor are then commanded by the MSMD based on the Switch input.
The Tilt Motor and Telescope Motor also each have a hall-effect position sensor.
The Memory Switch is used to set and recall memory seat and steering positions. When a Memory Switch
button is pressed, a signal is sent from the Switch to the Driver Door Module (DDM) via a MUX signal circuit.
The DDM will then request the MSMD perform the function via the Controller Area Network (CAN) bus
circuit. If the SET button on the Memory Switch is pressed, followed by the 1 or 2 button, the MSMD will store
the seat and steering position based on the position inputs received from the hall-effect position sensor. If the 1
or 2 button on the Memory Switch is pressed, the MSMD will recall the stored position for that particular
selection and return the seat and steering column to the stored position. Memory position may also be recalled
using a linked FOBIK transmitter. For driver safety, the MSMD will prevent the memory recall function from
being initiated if the transmission gear selector lever is not in the Park position or if the vehicle is moving. For
further information. Refer to MODULE, MEMORY, SEAT , OPERATION .
WHEN MONITORED:
SET CONDITION:
The MSMD does not detect seat motor activation. The DTC will only set when the seat switch is moved in the
same direction three consecutive times.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The Memory System is made up of the Memory Seat Module (MSMD), Memory Switch, Driver Seat Switch,
Tilt/Telescope Switch, multiple Seat Motors which also each contain a hall-effect position sensor, and the Tilt
and Telescope Steering Motors, both of which contain a hall-effect position sensor.
When the Driver Seat Switch is used to command seat movement, a signal is sent from the Switch to the
MSMD via a MUX signal circuit. The MSMD will then command the appropriate Seat Motor or Motors to
move the seat in the commanded direction as long as the Driver Seat Switch is held in that direction. When seat
movement is commanded, the MSMD also powers the hall-effect position sensor located in each Seat Motor.
2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
2011 ACCESSORIES AND EQUIPMENT Memory Seat Module (MSMD) - Electrical Diagnostics - Grand Cherokee
These hall-effect sensors provide feedback to the MSMD in relation to the seat's position. The Tilt and
Telescoping Steering operate in a similar manner, with the Tilt Switch and Telescope Switch sending a signal to
the MSMD from the Steering Column Control Module (SCCM) via the Controller Area Network (CAN) bus
circuit. The Tilt Motor and Telescope Motor are then commanded by the MSMD based on the Switch input.
The Tilt Motor and Telescope Motor also each have a hall-effect position sensor.
The Memory Switch is used to set and recall memory seat and steering positions. When a Memory Switch
button is pressed, a signal is sent from the Switch to the Driver Door Module (DDM) via a MUX signal circuit.
The DDM will then request the MSMD perform the function via the Controller Area Network (CAN) bus
circuit. If the SET button on the Memory Switch is pressed, followed by the 1 or 2 button, the MSMD will store
the seat and steering position based on the position inputs received from the hall-effect position sensor. If the 1
or 2 button on the Memory Switch is pressed, the MSMD will recall the stored position for that particular
selection and return the seat and steering column to the stored position. Memory position may also be recalled
using a linked FOBIK transmitter. For driver safety, the MSMD will prevent the memory recall function from
being initiated if the transmission gear selector lever is not in the Park position or if the vehicle is moving. For
further information. Refer to MODULE, MEMORY, SEAT , OPERATION .

THEORY OF OPERATION
The Memory System is made up of the Memory Seat Module (MSMD), Memory Switch, Driver Seat Switch,
Tilt/Tilt Switch, multiple Seat Motors which also each contain a hall-effect position sensor, and the Tilt and
Telescope Steering Motors, both of which contain a hall-effect position sensor.
When the Driver Seat Switch is used to command seat movement, a signal is sent from the Switch to the
MSMD via a MUX signal circuit. The MSMD will then command the appropriate Seat Motor or Motors to
move the seat in the commanded direction as long as the Driver Seat Switch is held in that direction. When seat
movement is commanded, the MSMD also powers the hall-effect position sensor located in each Seat Motor.
2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
2011 ACCESSORIES AND EQUIPMENT Memory Seat Module (MSMD) - Electrical Diagnostics - Grand Cherokee
These hall-effect sensors provide feedback to the MSMD in relation to the seat's position. The Tilt and
Telescoping Steering operate in a similar manner, with the Tilt Switch and Telescope Switch sending a signal to
the MSMD from the Steering Column Control Module (SCCM) via the Controller Area Network (CAN) bus
circuit. The Tilt Motor and Telescope Motor are then commanded by the MSMD based on the Switch input.
The Tilt Motor and Telescope Motor also each have a hall-effect position sensor.
The Memory Switch is used to set and recall memory seat and steering positions. When a Memory Switch
button is pressed, a signal is sent from the Switch to the Driver Door Module (DDM) via a MUX signal circuit.
The DDM will then request the MSMD perform the function via the Controller Area Network (CAN) bus
circuit. If the SET button on the Memory Switch is pressed, followed by the 1 or 2 button, the MSMD will store
the seat and steering position based on the position inputs received from the hall-effect position sensor. If the 1
or 2 button on the Memory Switch is pressed, the MSMD will recall the stored position for that particular
selection and return the seat and steering column to the stored position. Memory position may also be recalled
using a linked FOBIK transmitter. For driver safety, the MSMD will prevent the memory recall function from
being initiated if the transmission gear selector lever is not in the Park position or if the vehicle is moving. For
further information. Refer to MODULE, MEMORY, SEAT , OPERATION .

THEORY OF OPERATION
The Park Assist Sensors are ultrasonic transceivers that are completely controlled by the Park Assist Module.
The sensors transmit and receive ultrasonic signals. Each sensor has a voltage, signal, and return circuit to the
module. The sensors communicate with the Park Assist Module using a dedicated serial bus communication
circuit.
NOTE: The numbering system for the park assist sensors allows for up to twelve
sensors on the vehicle, six front and six rear. The sensors are numbered in a
clockwise manner starting at the left front bumper. The left front sensor (if
equipped with front park assist) is the number 1 sensor. The numbering
continues in a clockwise direction around the vehicle. Since Chrysler Group
vehicles use only four rear sensors, sensor numbers 7 and 12 are omitted, so
the left rear sensor is the number 11 sensor.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The Park Assist Sensors are ultrasonic transceivers that are completely controlled by the Park Assist Module.
The sensors transmit and receive ultrasonic signals. Each sensor has a voltage, signal, and return circuit to the
module. The sensors communicate with the Park Assist Module using a dedicated serial bus communication
circuit.
NOTE: The numbering system for the park assist sensors allows for up to twelve
sensors on the vehicle, six front and six rear. The sensors are numbered in a
clockwise manner starting at the left front bumper. The left front sensor (if
equipped with front park assist) is the number 1 sensor. The numbering
continues in a clockwise direction around the vehicle. Since Chrysler Group
vehicles use only four rear sensors, sensor numbers 7 and 12 are omitted, so
the left rear sensor is the number 11 sensor.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The Park Assist Sensors are ultrasonic transceivers that are completely controlled by the Park Assist Module.
The sensors transmit and receive ultrasonic signals. Each sensor has a voltage, signal, and return circuit to the
module. The sensors communicate with the Park Assist Module using a dedicated serial bus communication
circuit.
NOTE: The numbering system for the park assist sensors allows for up to twelve
sensors on the vehicle, six front and six rear. The sensors are numbered in a
clockwise manner starting at the left front bumper. The left front sensor (if
equipped with front park assist) is the number 1 sensor. The numbering
continues in a clockwise direction around the vehicle. Since Chrysler Group
vehicles use only four rear sensors, sensor numbers 7 and 12 are omitted, so
the left rear sensor is the number 11 sensor.
WHEN MONITORED:
Vehicle in reverse.
During the self-test while vehicle is in drive between 11 mph (18 km/h) and 25 mph (40 km/h).
SET CONDITION:
The Park Assist Module detects an open or short to voltage on the Park Assist Sensor Signal circuit.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The Park Assist Sensors are ultrasonic transceivers that are completely controlled by the Park Assist Module.
The sensors transmit and receive ultrasonic signals. Each sensor has a voltage, signal, and return circuit to the
module. The sensors communicate with the Park Assist Module using a dedicated serial bus communication
circuit.
NOTE: The numbering system for the park assist sensors allows for up to twelve
sensors on the vehicle, six front and six rear. The sensors are numbered in a
clockwise manner starting at the left front bumper. The left front sensor (if
equipped with front park assist) is the number 1 sensor. The numbering
continues in a clockwise direction around the vehicle. Since Chrysler Group
vehicles use only four rear sensors, sensor numbers 7 and 12 are omitted, so
the left rear sensor is the number 11 sensor.
WHEN MONITORED:

THEORY OF OPERATION
The Park Assist Sensors are ultrasonic transceivers that are completely controlled by the Park Assist Module.
The sensors transmit and receive ultrasonic signals. Each sensor has a voltage, signal, and return circuit to the
module. The sensors communicate with the Park Assist Module using a dedicated serial bus communication
circuit.
NOTE: The numbering system for the park assist sensors allows for up to twelve
sensors on the vehicle, six front and six rear. The sensors are numbered in a
clockwise manner starting at the left front bumper. The left front sensor (if
equipped with front park assist) is the number 1 sensor. The numbering
continues in a clockwise direction around the vehicle. Since Chrysler Group
vehicles use only four rear sensors, sensor numbers 7 and 12 are omitted, so
the left rear sensor is the number 11 sensor.
WHEN MONITORED:
Vehicle in reverse.
During the self-test while vehicle is in drive between 11 mph (18 km/h) and 25 mph (40 km/h).

THEORY OF OPERATION
The Park Assist Sensors are ultrasonic transceivers that are completely controlled by the Park Assist Module.
The sensors transmit and receive ultrasonic signals. Each sensor has a voltage, signal, and return circuit to the
module. The sensors communicate with the Park Assist Module using a dedicated serial bus communication
circuit.
NOTE: The numbering system for the park assist sensors allows for up to twelve
sensors on the vehicle, six front and six rear. The sensors are numbered in a
clockwise manner starting at the left front bumper. The left front sensor (if
equipped with front park assist) is the number 1 sensor. The numbering
continues in a clockwise direction around the vehicle. Since Chrysler Group
vehicles use only four rear sensors, sensor numbers 7 and 12 are omitted, so
the left rear sensor is the number 11 sensor.
WHEN MONITORED:

THEORY OF OPERATION
This DTC is designed to detect a failed gas prop which will cause the liftgate to free fall at the top of an open
cycle. This is accomplished by the liftgate position sensors 1 and 2 transmitting that information to the power
liftgate module. This DTC can also be set by the operator pulling on the opened liftgate and closing it down to
quickly (less than one second).
WHEN MONITORED:
SET CONDITION:
If the liftgate starts to drop after a complete opening operation, the Power Liftgate Module will set this code.

NOTE: Before continuing with any TPM diagnostic test, use the scan tool and
read the "Tire Placard Pressure - Front" and "Tire Placard Pressure - Rear"
under "Data Display" in the TPM. Confirm that the values match the Tire
Inflation Pressure (Placard) label located on the driver's side B-Pillar. If the
incorrect Placard Values have been programmed in the TPM, use the scan
tool and read the "Tire Placard Pressure - Front" and "Tire Placard
Pressure - Rear" under "Data Display" in the Totally Integrated Power
Module (TIPM). If the Placard values are incorrect in the TIPM, select the
TIPM, then under "Miscellaneous Functions", select "Update Pressure
Threshold" and follow the procedure in the scan tool. Enter the front and
rear placard pressure values as seen on the Tire Inflation Pressure
(Placard) label. Repeat step #2.
NOTE: The following tests are used to locate the TPM Sensor that is setting the
low pressure fault. If the tires have been rotated, the TPM Sensor is no
longer in sequence from the factory. Faults are linked to the TPM Sensor
IDs. You MUST locate the TPM Sensor that set the fault before continuing.

NOTE: The following procedure is used to locate the TPM Sensor that is setting
the sensor internal fault. If the tires have been rotated, the TPM Sensor is
no longer in sequence from the factory. Faults are linked to the TPM
Sensor IDs. You MUST locate the correct TPM Sensor that set the fault
before continuing. Use the following method below at every tire location.
NOTE: If the TPM sensor IDs do not match, it may be necessary to move the
vehicle to a location away from other TPM sensors and repeat this step.
NOTE: Always be certain to select proper vehicle line and model year when using
this tool, as the tool will automatically use the correct protocol to attempt
to read the TPM sensor. If the incorrect vehicle line and/or model year is
selected, the TPM sensor will not respond to the tool.
1. Use a TPM-RKE Analyzer (special tool #CH9936, Analyzer, TPM/RKE) to scan each TPM sensor
for a response, and store in the proper location in the TPM-RKE Analyzer. If you receive no
response from any of the TPM sensors, check to make sure that the TPM-RKE Analyzer is set
correctly, and repeat the process on each non-responsive wheel.
2. Replace the TPM sensor if the results show a "Damaged Accel", "Damaged Temp", "Damaged
Press", "H/W fail", "S/W fail" or the Tire Pressure Sensor does not respond after repeated attempts.
Install the correct Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) Sensor in accordance with the Service
Information. Perform the TPM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) Sensor actively monitors the air pressure, air temperature inside the tire,
the direction of the tire rotation and the internal battery status. Each sensor has a unique ID code. The TPM
Sensor transmits the data at regular intervals via an encoded signal to a receiver circuit located in the Tire
Pressure Monitoring (TPM) Module.
WHEN MONITORED:
SET CONDITION:
The TPM Module will monitor the signals from the four active road tire TPM Sensors. A loss of RF signal error
is detected if data is not received or cannot be accurately decoded for a maximum of 20 minutes when the
vehicle speed is above 24 km/h (15 mph). An internal sensor hardware error condition will be set when an error
in the shock sensor, pressure sensor, or temperature sensor is detected. The Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale
Lamp will flash on and off for 75 seconds then remain on solid when a system fault is detected.

THEORY OF OPERATION
NOTE: When this DTC is active the TPM Module will enter a deactivation mode (Winter
Mode) and the TPM system becomes deactivated. If winter tires and wheel
assemblies are installed no repair is required.
The Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) Module determines the TPM Sensor positions by performing the vehicle Tire
Pressure Monitoring (TPM) Sensor locate procedure. This procedure is run after the vehicle has been stationary
for 20 minutes. After driving the vehicle at speeds greater than 24 km/h (15 mph) for a minimum of 10 minutes
without the TPM Sensor installed, the TPM Module sends a bus message commanding the TPM telltale lamp to
flash for 75 seconds. After the 75 seconds of flashing, the lamp will remain on solid and a chime will be heard.
The message center will display SERVICE TPM SYSTEM for five seconds and shut off, all while the tire
pressure values will be displayed as dashes. After the ignition has been cycled off and on the TPM telltale lamp
will remain off, the message center will no longer display SERVICE TPM SYSTEM, and the tire pressures
continue to be displayed as dashes.
WHEN MONITORED:
SET CONDITION:

THEORY OF OPERATION
The Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) receives a bus message requesting high beam lamp illumination.
2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
2011 ACCESSORIES AND EQUIPMENT Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) - Electrical Diagnostics - Grand
Cherokee
When this bus message is received, the TIPM provides a voltage output through the high beam driver circuit.
For vehicles with High Intensity Discharge (HID) lamps, the high beam driver circuit connects to a circuit board
internal to the Front Lamp Unit that controls the shutter in front of the HID Lighting Element. When this shutter
is closed, some of the light from the HID Lighting Element is blocked resulting in low beam operation. When
high beam lamp illumination is requested, the shutter is opened resulting in high beam lamp operation. The high
beam driver circuit connects to the shutter control circuit board through a wire harness internal to the Front
Lamp Unit. For vehicles without HID lamps, the high beam driver circuit connects to the High Beam Lamp. A
headlamp return signal circuit that connects to the TIPM is used in both vehicle applications. For additional
information on the Headlamp operation, refer to OPERATION .

U0001-CAN C BUS
2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
2011 ACCESSORIES AND EQUIPMENT Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) - Electrical Diagnostics - Grand
Cherokee
For a complete wiring diagram, refer to appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article .
THEORY OF OPERATION
The primary communication network between electronic control modules on this vehicle is the Controller Area
Network (CAN) data bus system. The Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus allows all electronic modules
connected to the bus to share information with each other. Regardless of whether a message originates from a
module on the higher speed CAN C (500K) Bus or on the lower speed CAN Interior High Speed (IHS) (125K)
Bus the message structure and layout is similar, which allows the Totally Integrated Power Module/Central
GateWay (TIPM or TIPMCGW) to process and transfer messages between the CAN buses. The TIPM also
stores Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) for certain bus network faults.
2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
2011 ACCESSORIES AND EQUIPMENT Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) - Electrical Diagnostics - Grand
Cherokee
All modules transmit and receive messages over one of these buses. Data exchange between the modules is
achieved by serial transmission of encoded data messages (a form of transmission in which data bits are sent
sequentially, one at a time, over a single line). Each module can both send and receive serial data
simultaneously. Each data bit of a CAN Bus message is carried over the bus as a voltage differential between
the two bus circuits which, when strung together, form a message. Each module uses arbitration to sort the
message priority if two competing messages are attempting to be broadcast at the same time. Corruption of a
single bit within a message will corrupt the entire message. Each message contains a Cyclic Redundancy Check
(CRC) which specifies the message size exactly. If the message detected conflicts with the CRC the ECU
receiving it will determine the message to be an error and consider that communication has not been possible.
Diagnosis of this condition using a lab scope may reveal activity that appears to be Bus data messages even if
no actual communication is possible. Communication problems that affect the whole bus, as a result of opens
and terminal push outs are more likely to occur on data busses that operate at a high speed than a data bus that
operates at a lower speed.
When an open circuit or terminal push out occurs one or more modules can become isolated from the remainder
of the bus. The isolated module will attempt to communicate, but will not be able to receive messages or
determine arbitration from other modules. Each time the isolated module attempts to communicate it alters the
bus voltage on the intact bus circuit. Without functioning arbitration the isolated module alters the bus voltage
while other bus messages are being sent thereby corrupting the messages on the remainder of the bus.
The CAN bus modules are connected in parallel to the two-wire bus using a twisted pair, where the wires are
wrapped around each other to provide shielding from unwanted electromagnetic induction, thus preventing
interference with the relatively low voltage signals being carried through them. 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.

Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE and perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST.
For a complete wiring diagram, refer to appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article .
THEORY OF OPERATION
The primary communication network between electronic control modules on this vehicle is the Controller Area
Network (CAN) data bus system. The Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus allows all electronic modules
connected to the bus to share information with each other. Regardless of whether a message originates from a
module on the higher speed CAN C (500K) Bus or on the lower speed CAN Interior High Speed (IHS) (125K)
Bus the message structure and layout is similar, which allows the Totally Integrated Power Module/Central
GateWay (TIPM or TIPMCGW) to process and transfer messages between the CAN buses. The TIPM also
stores Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) for certain bus network faults.
All modules transmit and receive messages over one of these buses. Data exchange between the modules is
achieved by serial transmission of encoded data messages (a form of transmission in which data bits are sent
sequentially, one at a time, over a single line). Each module can both send and receive serial data
simultaneously. Each data bit of a CAN Bus message is carried over the bus as a voltage differential between
the two bus circuits which, when strung together, form a message. Each module uses arbitration to sort the
message priority if two competing messages are attempting to be broadcast at the same time. Corruption of a
single bit within a message will corrupt the entire message. Each message contains a Cyclic Redundancy Check
(CRC) which specifies the message size exactly. If the message detected conflicts with the CRC the ECU
receiving it will determine the message to be an error and consider that communication has not been possible.
Diagnosis of this condition using a lab scope may reveal activity that appears to be Bus data messages even if
no actual communication is possible. Communication problems that affect the whole bus, as a result of opens
and terminal push outs are more likely to occur on data busses that operate at a high speed than a data bus that
operates at a lower speed.
When an open circuit or terminal push out occurs one or more modules can become isolated from the remainder
of the bus. The isolated module will attempt to communicate, but will not be able to receive messages or
determine arbitration from other modules. Each time the isolated module attempts to communicate it alters the
bus voltage on the intact bus circuit. Without functioning arbitration the isolated module alters the bus voltage
while other bus messages are being sent thereby corrupting the messages on the remainder of the bus.
The CAN bus modules are connected in parallel to the two-wire bus using a twisted pair, where the wires are
wrapped around each other to provide shielding from unwanted electromagnetic induction, thus preventing
interference with the relatively low voltage signals being carried through them. 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.

The CAN bus modules are connected in parallel to the two-wire bus using a twisted pair, where the wires are
wrapped around each other to provide shielding from unwanted electromagnetic induction, thus preventing
interference with the relatively low voltage signals being carried through them. 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.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The primary communication network between electronic control modules on this vehicle is the Controller Area
Network (CAN) data bus system. The Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus allows all electronic modules
connected to the bus to share information with each other. Regardless of whether a message originates from a
module on the higher speed CAN C (500K) Bus or on the lower speed CAN Interior High Speed (IHS) (125K)
Bus the message structure and layout is similar, which allows the Totally Integrated Power Module/Central
GateWay (TIPM or TIPMCGW) to process and transfer messages between the CAN buses. The TIPM also
stores Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) for certain bus network faults.
2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
2011 ACCESSORIES AND EQUIPMENT Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) - Electrical Diagnostics - Grand

All modules transmit and receive messages over one of these buses. Data exchange between the modules is
achieved by serial transmission of encoded data messages (a form of transmission in which data bits are sent
sequentially, one at a time, over a single line). Each module can both send and receive serial data
simultaneously. Each data bit of a CAN Bus message is carried over the bus as a voltage differential between
the two bus circuits which, when strung together, form a message. Each module uses arbitration to sort the
message priority if two competing messages are attempting to be broadcast at the same time. Corruption of a
single bit within a message will corrupt the entire message. Each message contains a Cyclic Redundancy Check
(CRC) which specifies the message size exactly. If the message detected conflicts with the CRC the ECU
receiving it will determine the message to be an error and consider that communication has not been possible.
Diagnosis of this condition using a lab scope may reveal activity that appears to be Bus data messages even if
no actual communication is possible. Communication problems that affect the whole bus, as a result of opens
and terminal push outs are more likely to occur on data busses that operate at a high speed than a data bus that
operates at a lower speed.
When an open circuit or terminal push out occurs one or more modules can become isolated from the remainder
of the bus. The isolated module will attempt to communicate, but will not be able to receive messages or
determine arbitration from other modules. Each time the isolated module attempts to communicate it alters the
bus voltage on the intact bus circuit. Without functioning arbitration the isolated module alters the bus voltage

module on the higher speed CAN C (500K) Bus or on the lower speed CAN Interior High Speed (IHS) (125K)
Bus the message structure and layout is similar, which allows the Totally Integrated Power Module/Central
GateWay (TIPM or TIPMCGW) to process and transfer messages between the CAN buses. The TIPM also
stores Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) for certain bus network faults.

All modules transmit and receive messages over one of these buses. Data exchange between the modules is
achieved by serial transmission of encoded data messages (a form of transmission in which data bits are sent
sequentially, one at a time, over a single line). Each module can both send and receive serial data
simultaneously. Each data bit of a CAN Bus message is carried over the bus as a voltage differential between
the two bus circuits which, when strung together, form a message. Each module uses arbitration to sort the
message priority if two competing messages are attempting to be broadcast at the same time. Corruption of a
single bit within a message will corrupt the entire message. Each message contains a Cyclic Redundancy Check
(CRC) which specifies the message size exactly. If the message detected conflicts with the CRC the ECU
receiving it will determine the message to be an error and consider that communication has not been possible.
Diagnosis of this condition using a lab scope may reveal activity that appears to be Bus data messages even if
no actual communication is possible. Communication problems that affect the whole bus, as a result of opens
and terminal push outs are more likely to occur on data busses that operate at a high speed than a data bus that
operates at a lower speed.
When an open circuit or terminal push out occurs one or more modules can become isolated from the remainder
of the bus. The isolated module will attempt to communicate, but will not be able to receive messages or
determine arbitration from other modules. Each time the isolated module attempts to communicate it alters the
bus voltage on the intact bus circuit. Without functioning arbitration the isolated module alters the bus voltage
while other bus messages are being sent thereby corrupting the messages on the remainder of the bus.
The CAN bus modules are connected in parallel to the two-wire bus using a twisted pair, where the wires are
wrapped around each other to provide shielding from unwanted electromagnetic induction, thus preventing
interference with the relatively low voltage signals being carried through them. 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.

The CAN bus modules are connected in parallel to the two-wire bus using a twisted pair, where the wires are
wrapped around each other to provide shielding from unwanted electromagnetic induction, thus preventing
interference with the relatively low voltage signals being carried through them. 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.

2011 ACCESSORIES AND EQUIPMENT Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) - Electrical Diagnostics - Grand
Cherokee
THEORY OF OPERATION
The primary communication network between electronic control modules on this vehicle is the Controller Area
Network (CAN) data bus system. The Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus allows all electronic modules
connected to the bus to share information with each other. Regardless of whether a message originates from a
module on the higher speed CAN C (500K) Bus or on the lower speed CAN Interior High Speed (IHS) (125K)
Bus the message structure and layout is similar, which allows the Totally Integrated Power Module/Central
GateWay (TIPM or TIPMCGW) to process and transfer messages between the CAN buses. The TIPM also
stores Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) for certain bus network faults.
All modules transmit and receive messages over one of these buses. Data exchange between the modules is
achieved by serial transmission of encoded data messages (a form of transmission in which data bits are sent
sequentially, one at a time, over a single line). Each module can both send and receive serial data
simultaneously. Each data bit of a CAN Bus message is carried over the bus as a voltage differential between
the two bus circuits which, when strung together, form a message. Each module uses arbitration to sort the
message priority if two competing messages are attempting to be broadcast at the same time. Corruption of a
single bit within a message will corrupt the entire message. Each message contains a Cyclic Redundancy Check
(CRC) which specifies the message size exactly. If the message detected conflicts with the CRC the ECU
receiving it will determine the message to be an error and consider that communication has not been possible.
Diagnosis of this condition using a lab scope may reveal activity that appears to be Bus data messages even if
no actual communication is possible. Communication problems that affect the whole bus, as a result of opens
and terminal push outs are more likely to occur on data busses that operate at a high speed than a data bus that
operates at a lower speed.
When an open circuit or terminal push out occurs one or more modules can become isolated from the remainder
of the bus. The isolated module will attempt to communicate, but will not be able to receive messages or
determine arbitration from other modules. Each time the isolated module attempts to communicate it alters the
bus voltage on the intact bus circuit. Without functioning arbitration the isolated module alters the bus voltage
while other bus messages are being sent thereby corrupting the messages on the remainder of the bus.
The CAN bus modules are connected in parallel to the two-wire bus using a twisted pair, where the wires are

2011 ACCESSORIES AND EQUIPMENT Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) - Electrical Diagnostics - Grand
Cherokee
THEORY OF OPERATION
The primary communication network between electronic control modules on this vehicle is the Controller Area
Network (CAN) data bus system. The Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus allows all electronic modules
connected to the bus to share information with each other. Regardless of whether a message originates from a
module on the higher speed CAN C (500K) Bus or on the lower speed CAN Interior High Speed (IHS) (125K)
Bus the message structure and layout is similar, which allows the Totally Integrated Power Module/Central
GateWay (TIPM or TIPMCGW) to process and transfer messages between the CAN buses. The TIPM also
stores Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) for certain bus network faults.
All modules transmit and receive messages over one of these buses. Data exchange between the modules is
achieved by serial transmission of encoded data messages (a form of transmission in which data bits are sent
sequentially, one at a time, over a single line). Each module can both send and receive serial data
simultaneously. Each data bit of a CAN Bus message is carried over the bus as a voltage differential between
the two bus circuits which, when strung together, form a message. Each module uses arbitration to sort the
message priority if two competing messages are attempting to be broadcast at the same time. Corruption of a
single bit within a message will corrupt the entire message. Each message contains a Cyclic Redundancy Check
(CRC) which specifies the message size exactly. If the message detected conflicts with the CRC the ECU
receiving it will determine the message to be an error and consider that communication has not been possible.
Diagnosis of this condition using a lab scope may reveal activity that appears to be Bus data messages even if
no actual communication is possible. Communication problems that affect the whole bus, as a result of opens
and terminal push outs are more likely to occur on data busses that operate at a high speed than a data bus that
operates at a lower speed.
When an open circuit or terminal push out occurs one or more modules can become isolated from the remainder
of the bus. The isolated module will attempt to communicate, but will not be able to receive messages or
determine arbitration from other modules. Each time the isolated module attempts to communicate it alters the
bus voltage on the intact bus circuit. Without functioning arbitration the isolated module alters the bus voltage
while other bus messages are being sent thereby corrupting the messages on the remainder of the bus.
The CAN bus modules are connected in parallel to the two-wire bus using a twisted pair, where the wires are
wrapped around each other to provide shielding from unwanted electromagnetic induction, thus preventing
interference with the relatively low voltage signals being carried through them. 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.

GateWay (TIPM or TIPMCGW) to process and transfer messages between the CAN buses. The TIPM also
stores Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) for certain bus network faults.
All modules transmit and receive messages over one of these buses. Data exchange between the modules is
achieved by serial transmission of encoded data messages (a form of transmission in which data bits are sent
sequentially, one at a time, over a single line). Each module can both send and receive serial data
simultaneously. Each data bit of a CAN Bus message is carried over the bus as a voltage differential between
the two bus circuits which, when strung together, form a message. Each module uses arbitration to sort the
message priority if two competing messages are attempting to be broadcast at the same time. Corruption of a
single bit within a message will corrupt the entire message. Each message contains a Cyclic Redundancy Check
(CRC) which specifies the message size exactly. If the message detected conflicts with the CRC the ECU
receiving it will determine the message to be an error and consider that communication has not been possible.
Diagnosis of this condition using a lab scope may reveal activity that appears to be Bus data messages even if
no actual communication is possible. Communication problems that affect the whole bus, as a result of opens
and terminal push outs are more likely to occur on data busses that operate at a high speed than a data bus that
operates at a lower speed.
When an open circuit or terminal push out occurs one or more modules can become isolated from the remainder
of the bus. The isolated module will attempt to communicate, but will not be able to receive messages or
determine arbitration from other modules. Each time the isolated module attempts to communicate it alters the
bus voltage on the intact bus circuit. Without functioning arbitration the isolated module alters the bus voltage
while other bus messages are being sent thereby corrupting the messages on the remainder of the bus.
The CAN bus modules are connected in parallel to the two-wire bus using a twisted pair, where the wires are
wrapped around each other to provide shielding from unwanted electromagnetic induction, thus preventing
interference with the relatively low voltage signals being carried through them. 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.

2011 ACCESSORIES AND EQUIPMENT Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) - Electrical Diagnostics - Grand

THEORY OF OPERATION
The primary communication network between electronic control modules on this vehicle is the Controller Area
Network (CAN) data bus system. The Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus allows all electronic modules
connected to the bus to share information with each other. Regardless of whether a message originates from a
module on the higher speed CAN C (500K) Bus or on the lower speed CAN Interior High Speed (IHS) (125K)
Bus the message structure and layout is similar, which allows the Totally Integrated Power Module/Central
GateWay (TIPM or TIPMCGW) to process and transfer messages between the CAN buses. The TIPM also
stores Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) for certain bus network faults.
All modules transmit and receive messages over one of these buses. Data exchange between the modules is
achieved by serial transmission of encoded data messages (a form of transmission in which data bits are sent
sequentially, one at a time, over a single line). Each module can both send and receive serial data
simultaneously. Each data bit of a CAN Bus message is carried over the bus as a voltage differential between
the two bus circuits which, when strung together, form a message. Each module uses arbitration to sort the
message priority if two competing messages are attempting to be broadcast at the same time. Corruption of a
single bit within a message will corrupt the entire message. Each message contains a Cyclic Redundancy Check
(CRC) which specifies the message size exactly. If the message detected conflicts with the CRC the ECU
receiving it will determine the message to be an error and consider that communication has not been possible.
Diagnosis of this condition using a lab scope may reveal activity that appears to be Bus data messages even if
no actual communication is possible. Communication problems that affect the whole bus, as a result of opens
and terminal push outs are more likely to occur on data busses that operate at a high speed than a data bus that
operates at a lower speed.
When an open circuit or terminal push out occurs one or more modules can become isolated from the remainder
of the bus. The isolated module will attempt to communicate, but will not be able to receive messages or
determine arbitration from other modules. Each time the isolated module attempts to communicate it alters the
bus voltage on the intact bus circuit. Without functioning arbitration the isolated module alters the bus voltage
while other bus messages are being sent thereby corrupting the messages on the remainder of the bus.
The CAN bus modules are connected in parallel to the two-wire bus using a twisted pair, where the wires are
wrapped around each other to provide shielding from unwanted electromagnetic induction, thus preventing
interference with the relatively low voltage signals being carried through them. 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.

For a complete wiring diagram, refer to appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article .
THEORY OF OPERATION
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) monitors the engine speed over the CAN bus. If the engine speed is
greater than a calibrated limit (see table above), the TCM assumes that either the information from the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is incorrect or that a major mechanical problem exist. Once the DTC is set,
the TCM will position the transmission gear into neutral to protect the engine and transmission from damage.
The transmission will remain in neutral and will not be revaluated by the TCM until the ignition is cycled.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) receives information from the Engine, Anti-lock Brake System, and
the Electronic Gear Shift control modules over the CAN C bus. The CAN C bus is a high speed communication
bus that allows real time control capability between various controllers. Most messages are sent every 20 msec,
this means critical information can be shared between multiple controllers almost instantaneously. The CAN C
bus is a two wire bus with a CAN (+) and a CAN (-) circuit. To reduce the potential of radio and other electrical
noise interference, the CAN Bus circuit wiring is manufactured using a twisted pair configuration within the
electrical wiring harness.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The torque converter contains an internal Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) which is controlled by the
Transmission Control Module (TCM) to maintain slip (engine speed versus transmission input speed) to
optimize fuel economy under specific speed and throttle conditions. For fault determination, the TCM monitors
the amount of torque converter slip ONLY when the TCC is in Slip Mode operation. During Slip Mode, the slip
speed is expected to be within a predetermined range. If the Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) does not receive
adequate hydraulic pressure for any reason, or if the internal clutch is damaged, the TCC will not be able to
control to the predetermined slip value. Therefore, if the torque converter slip is more than expected for a
predetermined amount of time, the DTC will set.
WHEN MONITORED:

THEORY OF OPERATION
The NAG1 transmission has two input speed sensors 1 and 2 (N2 and N3), both speed sensors are located on the
valve body. The speed sensors are hall effect speed sensors that are used by the Transmission Control Module
(TCM) to calculate the transmissions input speed. Since the input speed could not be measured directly, two of
the drive elements are measured. Two input speed sensors were required because both drive elements are not
active in all gears.
The input speed sensors 1 and 2 will report the same input speed in gears 2nd, 3rd or 4th. If the 1 and 2 input
speed sensor signals are not the same in these gears, the TCM will set the DTC P2784-Input Speed Sensor 1/2
Correlation. The input speed sensor 2 is not reported in 1st and 5th gears. The input speed sensor 1 (N2) is not
reported in Reverse. The P01704-Input Speed Sensor 1 Overspeed and P01705-Input Speed Sensor 2 Overspeed
DTCs are rationality checks designed to detect a major transmission failure. If either DTC is detected, the TCM
will place the transmission in Neutral.

STANDARD PROCEDURE
NAG1 PRE-DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURE
For a complete wiring diagram, refer to appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article .
Perform the following pre-diagnostic troubleshooting procedures prior to performing any diagnostic test.
NOTE: Due to different power control configurations, the Transmission Control Relay
(if equipped) may be referred to as a PCM relay.
NOTE: Incorrect fluid level, and/or poor fluid condition can be the cause of many
2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
2011 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION Transmission Control Module (TCM) - Electrical Diagnostics - Grand Cherokee
transmission problems. Visually inspect the transmission and cooler lines for
leakage and repair as necessary and adjust the fluid level per the Service
Information.
Always perform diagnostics with a fully charged battery to avoid false symptoms.
1. With the scan tool, read the engine DTCs. Check and repair all engine DTCs prior to performing
transmission symptom diagnostic procedures.
2. With the scan tool, read and record all Transmission DTCs. Record the controller software version and
variant ID (configuration or level).
NOTE: Check for any Service Information Tune-ups or Technical Service Bulletins
(TSB) that may apply.
NOTE: If the TCM detects and stores a DTC, the TCM also stores the vehicles
operating conditions under which the DTC originally set. This information
is located using a scan tool under Environmental Data. Before erasing any
stored DTCs, it is recommended to record all available data to assist in
troubleshooting and duplicating the conditions and in which the DTC
originally set.
3. Verify the current software level of transmission controller. Various problems are corrected by software
upgrades (flash) to the transmission controller.
4. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors to all components
related to the transmission and shift lever assembly. Clean and repair as necessary.
5. Most DTCs set on start up but some may only set by driving the vehicle. Note the when monitored and
set conditions of the reported DTC. If variant DTCs are present, perform their respective test first.
6. Verify the axle ratio and transfer case ratio.
NOTE: The Transfer case ratio must be programmed using the scan tool under
the appropriate gateway module (FCM, FDCM, and/or TIPM) even if
equipped with AWD or NO transfer case. Validate that the left to right tire
sizes on each axle are the same. Do not perform diagnostics using a
space-saver spare tire. Invalid tire sizes (right to left) may cause erroneous
DTCs to set.
DIAGNOSTIC TEST

Refer to DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING and perform the appropriate diagnostic procedure.
To validate that the repair(s) fixed the vehicle, perform the following steps.
NOTE: The Transmission Temperature can only be read while in Reverse or Drive.
6. With the scan tool, display the Transmission temperature. Start and run the engine until the Transmission
temperature is above 43° C (110° F).
7. If internal transmission components were repaired or replaced check the Transmission fluid and adjust if
necessary. Refer to the Service Information for the proper Fluid Fill procedure. Refer to FLUID AND
FILTER , STANDARD PROCEDURE .
8. If the TCM (EGS) is flashed or replaced, with the scan tool, perform an EGS initialization to relearn
variant coding.
9. If internal transmission repairs are performed or replacement of the Transmission Control Module,
perform a TCM ADAPTATION procedure. Refer to MODULE, TRANSMISSION CONTROL ,
STANDARD PROCEDURE .
10. After performing the above procedures, perform the Road Test Procedure.
1. Road test the vehicle. Make fifteen to twenty 1-2, 2-3, 3-4, and 4-5 upshifts.
2. Perform these shifts from a standing start to 72 Km/h (45 mph) with a constant throttle opening of 20 to
25 degrees.
3. With speeds below 40 Km/h (25 mph), make five to eight wide open throttle kickdowns to 1st gear.
Allow at least five seconds each in 2nd and 3rd gear between each kickdown.
4. With the scan tool, read DTCs.

THEORY OF OPERATION
Whenever a Fob-Integrated-Key (FOBIK) is inserted in the Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) basestation, the WIN
2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
2011 ACCESSORIES AND EQUIPMENT Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) - Electrical Diagnostics - Grand Cherokee
performs a self test and resynchronization routine. During the routine, the WIN interrogates the FOBIK,
performing various validity and performance tests. The repair of this fault condition relies on the programmed
status of the FOBIK.
WHEN MONITORED:
During interrogation, the FOBIK sends a low frequency (LF) signal to the WIN that includes the FOBIK
identification information.
SET CONDITION:
This DTC sets if the WIN receives the default, secret key status from a FOBIK. Once set, this DTC will remain
active until a valid, programmed FOBIK is inserted in the basestation and rotated through the ON position.

The Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) is preprogrammed from the factory with 2 Fob-Integrated-Keys (FOBIKS),
with the capability to have a maximum of 8 FOBIKS programmed in total. Additional programmed FOBIKS
are automatically learned to the next available FOBIK position in the WIN software and do not overwrite any
previous positions. The repair of this fault condition relies on the current number of FOBIKS programmed into
the WIN and the number of available positions in the WIN software.
WHEN MONITORED:
When the WIN is placed into FOBIK programming mode, the module references the number of unique FOBIK
identifications stored in its memory.
SET CONDITION:
In the event the WIN detects the user is attempting to program a 9th FOBIK, this DTC will be set as active.

THEORY OF OPERATION
Sentry Key Remote Entry Module (SKREEM) is one of the many functions that is a subset of the Wireless
Ignition Node (WIN). SKREEM programming takes place during the Fob-Integrated-Key (FOBIK)
programming procedure. The repair of this fault condition is dependent on the programmed status of the FOBIK
attempting to be programmed. Once the WIN requests the FOBIK to send its identification information, the
FOBIK will attempt to send the information up to three times for redundancy to ensure "Good" information has
been received.
WHEN MONITORED:
2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
2011 ACCESSORIES AND EQUIPMENT Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) - Electrical Diagnostics - Grand Cherokee
During FOBIK programming mode when the FOBIK and the WIN module are communicating over LF (low
frequency) communication.
SET CONDITION:

THEORY OF OPERATION
For the engine to start, the Sentry Key Immobilizer (SKIM) feature of the Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) and
the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) must successfully communicate data over the data bus. Once the WIN
sends the message that a valid Fob-Integrated-Key (FOBIK) is being used, the PCM and WIN perform a
"handshake" routine, encrypted with the VIN, to validate this information, and a match allows the engine to run
when the ignition state transitions to START. The repair of this fault is determined by the ability of the WIN
and PCM/ECM to complete a successful handshake routine over the bus.
WHEN MONITORED:
Whenever a valid FOBIK is inserted in the basestation and turned to the ON position, the WIN/PCM handshake
takes place. The WIN validates that the message is sent to, and received by the PCM.
SET CONDITION:
When a valid FOBIK is used and the WIN receives a mismatching cryptology code from the PCM as part of the
routine, the WIN will send the command to flash the Security warning lamp and set this DTC as active. The
engine will not start and the DTC will remain active until the WIN and PCM complete a successful handshake.

THEORY OF OPERATION
For the engine to start, the Sentry Key Immobilizer (SKIM) feature of the Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) and
the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) must successfully communicate VIN data over the serial data bus. Once
the WIN sends the message that a valid Fob-in-Key (FOBIK) is being used, the PCM and WIN perform a
"handshake" routine to validate this VIN information, including a positive response from the PCM which allows
the engine to run when the ignition state transitions to START. The repair of this fault is determined by the
WIN recognition of a valid FOBIK and the ability of the WIN and PCM to complete a successful VIN
handshake routine over the bus.
WHEN MONITORED:
Whenever a FOBIK is inserted in the basestation, the WIN determines its validity status. If determined valid,
the WIN allows rotation to the ON position and the WIN/PCM handshake takes place.
2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
2011 ACCESSORIES AND EQUIPMENT Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) - Electrical Diagnostics - Grand Cherokee
SET CONDITION:
When an invalid FOBIK is used and the WIN receives a mismatching or no secret key data from the FOBIK,

THEORY OF OPERATION
When a valid Fob-Integrated-Key (FOBIK) is used and the ignition is rotated to the RUN position, the Wireless
Ignition Node (WIN) "listens" to the CAN C bus for the broadcast of the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
WHEN MONITORED:
The WIN monitors the VIN broadcast on the CAN C bus three times, when the ignition is turned to the RUN
position. When the full VIN has been received by the WIN, all further broadcasts of the VIN are ignored for
that ignition cycle.
SET CONDITION:
When the VIN received from the CAN C bus does not match the VIN stored in the memory of the Wireless
Ignition Node, the WIN will send the command to flash the Security warning lamp and set this DTC as active
and the vehicle will immobilize. The DTC will remain active until a VIN matching the one stored in WIN

self test and resynchronization routine. During the routine, the WIN interrogates the FOBIK for the secret key
information and performs a CAN Bus message handshake with the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The
PCM must reply to the WIN that the secret key information matches to initiate the start sequence or this code
will set on the third attempt.

diagnostic scan tool MUST be used to run a routine that allows the WIN to be
programmed with the ID number and location of the spare tire pressure sensor
mounted in the wheel of the spare tire. Follow the programming steps outlined
in the diagnostic scan tool for "Learn Spare Tire Sensor ID" under
"Miscellaneous Functions" for the "WIN" menu item as appropriate. In addition,
if the WIN is replaced, the spare tire must be dismounted from its wheel to
access and note the ID number on the spare tire pressure sensor so that the ID
code for that sensor can be programmed into the new WIN.
NOTE: If the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and the WIN are replaced at the same
time, program the PCM VIN into the PCM first.
NOTE: The PCM stores the secret key information. If the WIN ever needs to be
replaced, the secret key information can be retrieved from the PCM and then
transferred to the WIN for security use.
During PCM/ECM replacement, use the following steps to verify the transfer of the secret key information from
the WIN to the new PCM:
1. If the PCM is to be replaced, first, replace the PCM/ECM with the original WIN still connected to the
vehicle. If the PCM is not being replaced, go to step 3.
2. Using the appropriate Service Information to program the new PCM/ECM. (This will verify the Secret
Key Transfer from the original WIN into the new PCM/ECM).
3. Now replace and program (WIN Replaced) the WIN (if necessary). This will cause the WIN to receive
the Secret Key from the PCM/ECM back into the new WIN.
NOTE: If this vehicle is equipped with a Steering Column Lock Module, it must be
replaced along with the WIN. Whenever a WIN is replaced the Steering
Wheel Lock Module MUST also be replaced.
4. Using the scan tool, select Miscellaneous Functions, WIN. Then select the desired procedure and follow
the display on the scan tool.

DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
A Manual Temperature Control (MTC) dual zone and an Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) dual zone
heating-A/C system is available on this model.
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. For
more information, refer to ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM before attempting any service to the engine cooling
system.
Fig. 1: HVAC Housing, Mode, Recirculation Door Actuator, Air Filter & Blower Motor

All vehicles are equipped with a common HVAC housing (1). The heating-A/C system combines A/C, heating,
and ventilating capabilities in a single unit mounted within the passenger compartment, beneath the instrument
panel. The HVAC housing includes:
Based upon the system and selected mode, conditioned air can exit the HVAC housing through one or a
combination of the four main housing outlets: defrost, panel, floor and console. The defrost and panel outlets
are located on the top of the HVAC housing, the floor outlets are located at each side of the HVAC housing,
and the console outlet is located at the bottom rear of the HVAC housing. Once the conditioned air exits the
HVAC housing, it is further directed through molded plastic ducts to the outlets within the vehicle interior.
These outlets and their locations are as follows:
Defroster Outlets - Two large defroster outlets are located near the center of the instrument panel top
cover, near the base of the windshield.
Side Window Demister Outlets - There are two side window demister outlets. One is located at the
bottom of each A-pillar.
Panel Outlets - There are four panel outlets in the instrument panel. One located near each outboard end
of the instrument panel facing the rear of the vehicle and one located on each side of the instrument panel
center bezel.
Floor Outlets - There are four floor panel outlets. One outlet located above each side of the floor panel
center tunnel near the dash panel and one outlet located under the rear of each front seat.
Console Outlets - There are four console outlets located at the rear of the center floor console. Two
facing the rear of the vehicle and one on each side of the console, directing conditioned air under each
front seat.
OPERATION
OPERATION
Both the Manual Temperature Control (MTC) and the Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) heating-A/C
systems are dual zone, blend-air type systems. In a dual zone blend-air heating-A/C system, two blend-air doors
control the amount of conditioned air that is allowed to flow through, or around the heater core. The two blend-
air doors provide completely independent side-to-side temperature control of the discharge air. The temperature
2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
2011 HVAC Heating & Air Conditioning - Service Information - Grand Cherokee
controls determine the discharge air temperatures by operating the blend door actuators, which move the blend-
air doors. This design allows almost immediate control of the output air temperatures.
The heating-A/C system pulls outside (ambient) air through the fresh air intake (4) located at the cowl panel at
the base of the windshield and into the air inlet housing above the Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning
(HVAC) housing and passes through the A/C evaporator (7). Air flow is then directed either through or around
the heater core (2). This is done by adjusting the position of the blend-air door(s) (3) with the temperature
control(s) located on the A/C-heater control in the instrument panel. Air flow is then directed out the floor outlet
(8), instrument panel outlet (10) or the defroster outlet (1) in various combinations by adjusting the position of
the mode-air doors (9 and 11) using the mode control located on the A/C-heater control. The temperature and
mode control uses electrical actuators to operate the air doors.
The velocity of the air flow out of the outlets can be adjusted with the blower speed control located on the A/C-
heater control.
The fresh air intake can be shut off by pressing the Recirculation button on the A/C-heater control. This will
operate the electrically actuated recirculation-air door (5), which closes off the fresh air intake. With the fresh
air intake closed, the conditioned air within the vehicle is pulled back into the HVAC housing through the
recirculation air intake (6) located within the passenger compartment.
The A/C compressor can be engaged by pressing the A/C (snowflake) button on the MTC A/C-heater control or
is automatically engaged on the ATC system when set temperatures require conditioned air cooling. On both
systems, the A/C compressor will automatically engage when in any Mix to Defrost position. This will remove
heat and humidity from the air before it is directed through or around the heater core.
2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
2011 HVAC Heating & Air Conditioning - Service Information - Grand Cherokee
The two slot-type defroster outlets receive airflow from the HVAC housing through the molded plastic defroster
ducts, which connect to the HVAC housing defroster outlets. The airflow from the defroster outlets is directed
by fixed vanes in the defroster outlet grilles and cannot be adjusted. The defroster outlet grilles are serviceable
from the instrument panel top cover.
The side window demister outlets receive airflow from the HVAC housing through the molded plastic demister
ducts. The demisters direct air from the HVAC housing through the outlets located on the A-pillars. The airflow
from the side window demister outlets is directed by fixed vanes in the demister outlet grilles and cannot be
adjusted. The side window demister outlet grilles are not serviceable from the A-pillars. The demisters operate
when the controls are in Heat, Bi-level, Mix and Defrost modes.
The four instrument panel outlets receive airflow from the HVAC housing through two molded plastic main
panel ducts. One duct directs air flow out of the right side instrument panel outlets, while the other duct delivers
air flow to the left side outlets. Each of these outlets can be individually adjusted to direct the flow of air.
The floor outlets receive airflow from the HVAC housing through the floor distribution ducts which are
connected to the rear of the HVAC air distribution housing. Two plastic rear distribution ducts and one center
console duct attach to the rear of the air distribution housing and provide conditioned air to the rear seating
positions. The airflow from the two rear distribution ducts cannot be adjusted. The two outlets located at the
rear of the floor console can be individually adjusted to direct the flow of air, but the outlets on either side of the
console cannot be adjusted and air flow is directed by fixed vanes.
NOTE: It is important to keep the HVAC air intake opening clear of debris. Leaf
particles and other debris that is small enough to pass through the cowl
opening screen can accumulate within the HVAC housing. The closed, warm,
damp and dark environment created within the housing is ideal for the growth
of certain molds, mildews and other fungi. Any accumulation of decaying plant
matter provides an additional food source for fungal spores, which enter the
housing with the fresh intake-air. Excess debris, as well as objectionable odors
created by decaying plant matter and growing fungi can be discharged into the
passenger compartment during heater-A/C operation if the air intake opening is
not kept clear of debris.
The A/C system is designed for the use of non-CFC, R-134a refrigerant and uses an A/C expansion valve to
meter the flow of refrigerant to the A/C evaporator. The A/C evaporator cools and dehumidifies the incoming
air prior to blending it with the heated air. To maintain minimum evaporator temperatures and prevent
evaporator freezing, an evaporator temperature sensor is used. This sensor is located downstream of the
evaporator and supplies an evaporator temperature signal to the A/C-heater control.
The A/C system is designed to provide the passenger compartment with low temperature and low humidity air.
The A/C evaporator, located in the HVAC housing is cooled to temperatures near the freezing point. As warm
damp air passes over the fins of the A/C evaporator, the air transfers its heat to the refrigerant in the evaporator
coils and the moisture in the air condenses on the evaporator fins. During periods of high heat and humidity, an
2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
2011 HVAC Heating & Air Conditioning - Service Information - Grand Cherokee
A/C system will be more effective in the Recirculation mode (max-A/C). With the system in the Recirculation
mode, only air from the passenger compartment passes through the A/C evaporator. As the passenger
compartment air dehumidifies, the A/C system performance levels rise.
Humidity has an important bearing on the temperature of the air delivered to the interior of the vehicle. It is
important to understand the effect that humidity has on the performance of the A/C system. When humidity is
high, the A/C evaporator has to perform a double duty. It must lower the air temperature, and it must lower the
temperature of the moisture in the air that condenses on the evaporator fins. Condensing the moisture in the air
transfers heat energy into the evaporator fins and coils. This reduces the amount of heat the A/C evaporator can
absorb from the air. High humidity greatly reduces the ability of the A/C evaporator to lower the temperature of
the air.
However, evaporator capacity used to reduce the amount of moisture in the air is not wasted. Wringing some of
the moisture out of the air entering the vehicle adds to the comfort of the passengers. Although, an owner may
expect too much from their A/C system on humid days. A performance test is the best way to determine
whether the system is performing up to design standards. This test also provides valuable clues as to the
possible cause of trouble with the A/C system. The ambient air temperature in the location where the vehicle
will be tested must be a minimum of 21° C (70° F) for this test.
WARNING: Refer to the applicable warnings and cautions for this system before
performing the following operation. Refer to PLUMBING, WARNING and
PLUMBING, CAUTION. Failure to follow the warnings and cautions could
result in possible serious or fatal injury.
NOTE: When connecting the service equipment coupling to the line fitting, verify that
the valve of the coupling is fully closed. This will reduce the amount of effort
required to make the connection.
NOTE: The work area ambient temperature and the evaporator temperature must be
above 18.3°C (65°F) prior to conducting the A/C Performance Test.
1. Conduct the A/C System Performance Test (Cooldown Test) found within the HVAC System Test. Refer
to STANDARD PROCEDURE . If no Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are found in the A/C -heater
control, Powertrain Control Module (PCM) or Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM), refer to 2. If any
DTCs are found, repair as required, then, refer to 2.
2. Connect a tachometer and a manifold gauge set.

Transmission in Park
A/C-heater controls set to Recirculation mode (max-A/C), full cool, panel mode, high blower and
with A/C compressor engaged. If the A/C compressor does not engage, see the A/C System
Diagnosis table.
4. Insert a thermometer in the driver side center panel air outlet and operate the A/C system until the
thermometer temperature stabilizes.
NOTE: This procedure requires the technician to know what the temperature and
relative humidity is at the time of the test. The temperature must be
combined with the relative humidity to calculate the apparent ambient
temperature ("feels like" temperature), when the temperatures are above
21° C (70° F). Use the current ambient temperature and the relative
humidity in your location. This information can be obtained from multiple
sources, such as the internet or local news media.
5. With the A/C clutch engaged, compare the air temperature at the center panel outlet and the A/C
compressor discharge pressure (high side) to the A/C Performance Temperature and Pressure chart. The
A/C clutch may cycle, depending upon the ambient temperature and humidity. If the A/C clutch cycles,
use the readings obtained before the clutch disengaged (coldest temperature).
6. If the air outlet temperature fails to meet the specifications in the A/C Performance Temperature and
Pressure chart, or if the A/C compressor discharge pressure is high, see the A/C System Diagnosis table.
HEATER PERFORMANCE
Refer to ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM before performing the following tests. Check the engine coolant level
and flow, engine coolant reserve/recovery system operation, accessory drive belt condition and tension, radiator
air flow and the fan drive operation. Perform the A/C System Performance Test, which is found within the
HVAC System Test. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE . If any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are
found in the A/C heater control or Powertrain Control Module (PCM), repair as necessary.
Engine coolant is delivered to the heater core through two heater hoses. With the engine idling at normal
operating temperature, set the temperature control to the full hot position, the mode control to the floor position,
and the blower motor control to the highest speed position. Using a test thermometer, check the temperature of
the air being discharged at the front floor outlets. Compare the test thermometer reading to the Heater
Temperature Reference chart.
Refer to ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM . If the heater outlet air temperature is below the minimum
specification. Both of the heater hoses should be hot to the touch. The coolant return heater hose should be
slightly cooler than the coolant supply heater hose. If the return hose is much cooler than the supply hose, locate
and repair the engine coolant flow obstruction in the cooling system.
If proper coolant flow through the cooling system is verified, and heater outlet air temperature is low, a
mechanical problem may exist.
MECHANICAL PROBLEMS
Possible locations or causes of insufficient heat due to mechanical problems are as follows:
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
If the heater outlet air temperature cannot be adjusted with the temperature control on the A/C-heater control,
the following could require service:
STANDARD PROCEDURE
STANDARD PROCEDURE - A/C EVAPORATOR CLEANING
Some vehicle operators may experience a musty odor from the A/C system, primarily at start up in hot and
humid climates. This odor may be the result of microbial growth on the cooling coil. During normal A/C system

The blend door actuators (1) are reversible, 12 volt direct current (DC), servo motors. Both dual zone heating-
A/C systems use two blend-air doors, which are controlled by two blend door actuators.
The driver side blend door actuator is located on the driver side end of the HVAC air distribution housing and is
mechanically connected to the driver side blend-air door. The passenger side blend door actuator is located on
the passenger side of the air distribution housing and is mechanically connected to the passenger side blend-air
door.
The blend door actuators are interchangeable with each other, as well as with the actuators for the mode-air
doors and the recirculation-air door. Each actuator is contained within an identical black molded plastic housing
with an integral wire connector receptacle (2). Each actuator has an identical output shaft with splines (3) that
connect it to its respective door linkage, and three integral mounting tabs (4) that allow the actuator to be
secured to the air distribution housing. The blend door actuators require mechanical indexing to the blend-air
door cams and are electronically calibrated by the A/C-heater control.
OPERATION
OPERATION
The blend door actuators are connected to the A/C-heater control through the vehicle electrical system by a
dedicated two-wire lead and connector of the HVAC wire harness. The blend door actuator(s) can move the
blend-air door(s) in two directions. When the A/C-heater control pulls the voltage on one side of the motor
connection high and the other connection low, the blend-air door will move in one direction. When the A/C-
heater control reverses the polarity of the voltage to the motor, the blend-air door moves in the opposite
direction.
When the A/C-heater control makes the voltage to both connections high or both connections low, the blend-air
door(s) stops and will not move. The A/C-heater control uses a pulse-count positioning system to monitor the
operation and relative position of the blend door actuators and the blend-air doors. The A/C-heater control
learns the blend-air doors stop positions during the calibration procedure and will store a diagnostic trouble
code (DTC) for any problems it detects in the blend door actuator circuits.
The blend door actuator(s) is diagnosed using a scan tool. Refer to DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING .
The blend door actuator(s) cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if inoperative or damaged.

DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
The ambient air temperature sensor is a variable resistor that monitors the air temperature outside of the vehicle.
The Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) system uses the ambient air temperature sensor data to help
maintain optimum cabin temperature levels. The ambient air temperature sensor is mounted to the
condenser/radiator closeout, behind the grille.
OPERATION
OPERATION
The ambient air temperature sensor is a variable resistor that operates on a 5 volt Direct Current (DC) reference
signal sent by the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM). The ambient air temperature sensor is connected to
the TIPM through a two-wire lead and connector of the vehicle wire harness. The ambient air temperature
sensor changes its internal resistance in response to changes in the outside air temperature, which either
increases or decreases the reference signal voltage read by the TIPM. The TIPM converts and broadcasts the
sensor data over the Controller Area Network (CAN) bus, where it is read by the Automatic Temperature
Control (ATC) A/C heater control, Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and other vehicle control modules.
The ambient air temperature sensor is diagnosed using a scan tool. Refer to appropriate Electrical Diagnostic
article .
The ambient air temperature sensor cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if inoperative or
damaged.

DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
The evaporator temperature sensor (1) measures the temperature of the conditioned air downstream of the A/C
evaporator (2). The evaporator temperature sensor is an electrical thermistor within a molded plastic case that is
inserted into the HVAC housing (3) near the coldest point of the A/C evaporator. Two terminals within the
connector receptacle (4) connect the sensor to the vehicle electrical system.
The external location of the evaporator temperature sensor allows the sensor to be removed and installed
without disturbing the refrigerant in the A/C system.
OPERATION
OPERATION
2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
2011 HVAC Heating & Air Conditioning - Service Information - Grand Cherokee
The evaporator temperature sensor monitors the temperature of the conditioned air downstream of the A/C
evaporator and supplies an input signal to the A/C heater control. The A/C heater control uses the evaporator
temperature sensor input signal to optimize A/C system performance and to protect the A/C system from
evaporator freezing. The evaporator temperature sensor will change its internal resistance in response to the
temperatures it monitors and is connected to the A/C heater control through sensor ground circuit and a 5 volt
Direct Current (DC) reference signal circuit. As the temperature of the A/C evaporator decreases, the internal
resistance of the evaporator temperature sensor decreases.
The A/C heater control uses the monitored voltage reading as an indication of evaporator temperature. The A/C
heater control is programmed to respond to this input by requesting the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) to
cycle the A/C clutch as necessary to optimize A/C system performance and to protect the A/C system from
evaporator freezing.
The evaporator temperature sensor is diagnosed using a scan tool. Refer to DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING .
The evaporator temperature sensor cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if inoperative or

The Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) heating-A/C system uses a sun sensor (1) to measure sun light
intensity. The sun sensor incorporates two sun load sensors (2) within a molded plastic case which is mounted
to the instrument panel and a clear lens (3) that protrudes through the defroster grille. The wire harness
receptacle (4) connects the sun sensor to the vehicle electrical system.
OPERATION
OPERATION
The ATC heating-A/C system uses two sun sensors to balance the system in response to side-to-side variations
in sun light intensity. Passengers in sun and shadow require different functional settings because they
experience very different temperatures. The sun sensor assembly provides data to the A/C heater control to help
determine proper mode and blend-air door positions and blower motor speeds. The sun sensors are not
thermistor type sensors, but rather photo diodes. For this reason the sun sensors responds to sun light intensity
rather than temperature. The sun sensor assembly is also used to sense day and night conditions for automatic
headlight control on MTC equipped vehicles.
The sun sensor is diagnosed using a scan tool. Refer to DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING .
The sun sensor assembly cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if inoperative or damaged.

internally threaded fitting on the A/C pressure transducer connect it to the externally threaded Schrader-type
fitting on the A/C discharge line. A rubber O-ring seals the connection between the A/C pressure transducer and
the discharge line fitting. The A/C pressure transducer is connected to the vehicle electrical system by a molded
plastic connector with three terminals.
OPERATION
OPERATION
The A/C pressure transducer monitors the pressures in the high side of the A/C refrigerant system through its
connection to a fitting on the A/C discharge line, and its internal resistance changes in response to the pressures
it monitors. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) provides a 5 volt Direct Current (DC) reference signal and
a sensor ground to the A/C pressure transducer, then monitors the output voltage of the transducer on a sensor
return circuit to determine refrigerant pressure. The PCM is programmed to respond to this and other sensor
inputs by controlling the operation of the A/C clutch and the radiator cooling fan to help optimize A/C system
performance and to protect the A/C system components from damage. The PCM will disengage the A/C clutch
2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
2011 HVAC Heating & Air Conditioning - Service Information - Grand Cherokee
when high side pressure rises above 3219 kPa (476 psi) and re-engage the clutch when high side pressure drops
below 2937 kPa (426 psi). The A/C pressure transducer will also disengage the A/C clutch if the high side
pressure drops below 110 kPa (16 psi) and will re-engage the clutch when the high side pressure rises above
220 kPa (32 psi). When the refrigerant pressure rises above 1655 kPa (240 psi), the PCM will actuate the
cooling fan. The A/C pressure transducer signal to the PCM also prevents the A/C clutch from engaging when
ambient temperatures are below about 10° C (50° F), due to the pressure/temperature relationship of the
refrigerant.
A Schrader-type valve in the A/C discharge line fitting permits the A/C pressure transducer to be removed or
installed without disturbing the refrigerant in the A/C system.
The A/C pressure transducer is diagnosed using a scan tool. Refer to appropriate Electrical Diagnostic article .
The A/C pressure transducer cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if inoperative or damaged.

HOUSING, HVAC
DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
All models are equipped with a common HVAC housing assembly that combines A/C and heating capabilities
into a single unit mounted within the passenger compartment. The HVAC housing assembly consists of three
separate housings:
Air inlet housing (1) - The air inlet housing is mounted to the passenger side end of the HVAC housing
and contains the recirculation-air door and actuator.
HVAC housing (2) - The HVAC housing is mounted behind the instrument panel and contains the A/C
evaporator, blower motor resistor block or power model (depending on application) and the blower
motor. The HVAC housing consists of a upper and a lower housing that are attached together and has
mounting provisions for the air inlet housing and air distribution housing.
Air distribution housing (3) - The air distribution housing is mounted to the rear of the HVAC housing
and contains the heater core, blend-air doors and actuators, mode-air doors and actuator, door linkages
and the evaporator temperature sensor. When the vehicle is equipped with the 3.0L diesel engine, the air
distribution housing also contains the electric Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) heater unit.
The heating-A/C system is a blend-air type system. The blend-air doors control the amount of conditioned air
that is allowed to flow through, or around the heater core. The two available dual zone heating A/C systems use
two blend door actuators.
The A/C system is designed for the use of a non-CFC, R-134a refrigerant and uses an A/C evaporator to cool
and dehumidify the incoming air prior to blending it with the heated air. A temperature control determines the
discharge air temperature by operating the blend door actuators, which moves the blend-air doors. This allows
an almost immediate control of the output air temperature of the system. The two mode door actuators operate
the mode-air doors which direct the flow of the conditioned air out the various air outlets, depending on the
mode selected. The recirculation door actuator operates the recirculation-air door which closes off the fresh air
intake and recirculates the air already inside the vehicle. The blower motor controls the velocity of air flowing
through the HVAC housing assembly by spinning the blower wheel within the HVAC housing at the selected
speed by use of a blower motor resistor or power model, depending on heater-A/C system application.

Courtesy of CHRYSLER LLC
The blower motor (1) is used to control the velocity of air moving through the HVAC housing assembly by
spinning the blower wheel (2) at the selected or programmed speed (depending on control system application).
The blower motor is a 12-volt, Direct Current (DC) motor that is mounted within a plastic housing that has
integral wire harness connector (3), integral mounting tabs (4) and a squirrel cage-type blower wheel that is
secured to the blower motor shaft. The blower wheel is positioned within the air inlet housing on the passenger
side of the HVAC housing assembly.
OPERATION
OPERATION
The blower motor controls the velocity of air moving through the HVAC housing by spinning the blower wheel
within the HVAC air inlet housing at the selected speed.
Both the Manual Temperature Control (MTC) heating-A/C system and the Automatic Temperature Control
(ATC) heating-A/C system have an electronic blower motor power module to control blower motor speed. The
power module uses a Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) input from the A/C-heater control and a feedback signal
from the blower motor to regulate the blower motor ground path. On both systems, the blower motor receives
battery current through the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) whenever the ignition switch is in the Run
position, and the blower motor control is in any position except Off.
The blower motor control system is diagnosed using a scan tool. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
The blower motor and blower motor wheel are factory balanced as an assembly and cannot be adjusted or
repaired and must be replaced if inoperative or damaged.

STANDARD PROCEDURE
WARNING: Refer to the applicable warnings and cautions for this system before
performing the following operation. Refer to PLUMBING, WARNING and
2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
2011 HVAC Heating & Air Conditioning - Service Information - Grand Cherokee
CAUTION: Various aftermarket manufacturers produce A/C system sealants that are
designed to stop A/C refrigerant system leaks. The use of A/C system
sealants may result in damage to A/C refrigerant
recovery/evacuation/recharging equipment and/or the vehicle A/C system
and are not recommended for use by Chrysler LLC.
When servicing the A/C system, an R-134a refrigerant recovery/recycling/charging station (1) that meets SAE
standard J2788 must be used. Per SAE standard J2788, refrigerant recovery stations must recover 95% of the
refrigerant system within 30 minutes at 21.1° C (70° F) and be able to measure the amount of refrigerant
removed from the system to an accuracy of 28 grams (1 oz.). Refer to the operating instructions supplied by the
equipment manufacturer for proper care and use of this equipment.
NOTE: A/C system should be tested prior to refrigerant recovery if the use of A/C
system sealants are suspected. These sealants have the potential to clog
refrigerant recovery equipment and cause vehicle A/C component damage.
Various tool manufacturers make tool kits that detect A/C system sealants.
Refer to the operating instructions supplied by the equipment manufacturer for
proper care and use of this equipment.
If sealants are detected in an A/C system, the system should be treated as contaminated and replacement of the
entire A/C refrigerant system is recommended. A/C systems found to be contaminated with A/C system sealers,
A/C stop-leak products or seal conditioners void the warranty for the A/C system.
NOTE: Special effort must be used to prevent moisture from entering the A/C system
2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
2011 HVAC Heating & Air Conditioning - Service Information - Grand Cherokee
oil. Moisture in the oil is very difficult to remove and will cause a reliability
problem with the A/C compressor.
If an A/C compressor designed to use R-134a refrigerant is left open to the atmosphere for an extended period
of time, it is recommended that the refrigerant oil be drained and replaced with new oil, or a new A/C
compressor be used. This will eliminate the possibility of contaminating the refrigerant system.
If the refrigerant system has been open to the atmosphere, it must be evacuated before the system can be filled.
Moisture and air mixed with the refrigerant will raise the compressor head pressure above acceptable operating
levels. This will reduce the performance of the A/C system and damage the A/C compressor. Moisture will boil
at near room temperature when exposed to vacuum. Use the following procedure to evacuate the refrigerant
system:
NOTE: When connecting the service equipment coupling to the line fitting, verify that
the valve of the coupling is fully closed. This will reduce the amount of effort
required to make the connection.
WARNING: Refer to the applicable warnings and cautions for this system before
performing the following operation. Refer to PLUMBING, WARNING and
PLUMBING, CAUTION. Failure to follow these instructions may result in
possible serious or fatal injury.
NOTE: The Underhood HVAC Specification Label contains the refrigerant fill
specification of the vehicle being serviced.
2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
2011 HVAC Heating & Air Conditioning - Service Information - Grand Cherokee
After all refrigerant system leaks have been repaired and the refrigerant system has been evacuated, a refrigerant
charge can be injected into the system. Refer to REFRIGERANT SYSTEM CHARGE.
When charging the A/C system, use an R-134a refrigerant recovery/recycling/charging station (1) that meets
SAE standard J2788. Per SAE standard J2788, refrigerant recovery stations must charge the system to an
accuracy of 14 grams (0.5 oz.). Refer to the operating instructions supplied by the equipment manufacturer for
proper care and use of this equipment.
CHARGING PROCEDURE
CAUTION: A small amount of refrigerant oil is removed from the A/C system each
time the refrigerant system is recovered and evacuated. Before charging
the A/C system, you MUST replenish any oil lost during the recovery
process. Refer to the equipment manufacturer instructions for more
information.
WARNING: Take care not to open the discharge (high pressure) valve at this
time. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible
serious or fatal injury.
7. Open the low-side valve to allow the remaining refrigerant to transfer to the refrigerant system.
8. Disconnect the charging station from the refrigerant system service ports.

COMPRESSOR, A/C
DESCRIPTION
A/C CLUTCH
NOTE: Denso A/C clutch assembly shown in illustration. Visteon A/C clutch assembly
similar.
The A/C compressor clutch assembly consists of a stationary electromagnetic field coil (4), bearing and pulley
assembly (3), shims (7) and a clutch plate (2) that is splined to the compressor shaft and secured by a bolt (1).
These components provide the means to engage and disengage the A/C compressor from the engine accessory
drive belt.
The A/C clutch bearing and pulley assembly on both A/C compressors are retained to the front of the
compressor with a snap ring (6). The A/C clutch coil on the Denso A/C compressor is also retained to the front
of the compressor using a snap ring (5). The A/C clutch coil on the Visteon A/C compressor is pressed onto the
front of the compressor.
2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
2011 HVAC Heating & Air Conditioning - Service Information - Grand Cherokee
A/C COMPRESSOR
Models equipped with the 3.0L and 5.7L engine, use a Denso 10SRE18 A/C compressor, with a fixed
displacement of 180 cubic centimeters (11 cubic inches).
Models equipped with the 3.6L engine, use a Visteon RS-18 A/C compressor, with a fixed displacement of 180
cubic centimeters (11 cubic inches).
All A/C compressors have the suction and discharge ports (2) located on the compressor cylinder head (3) at the
rear of the compressor and have a label identifying the use of R-134a refrigerant.
A high pressure relief valve is located on the compressor cylinder head at the rear of the A/C compressor. Refer
to HIGH PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE. This mechanical valve is designed to vent refrigerant from the A/C
system to protect against damage to the A/C compressor and other A/C system components caused by
condenser air flow restriction or an overcharge of refrigerant.
OPERATION
A/C CLUTCH
The A/C compressor clutch components provide the means to engage and disengage the A/C compressor from
the engine accessory drive belt. When the electromagnetic A/C clutch field coil is energized, it magnetically
draws the clutch plate into contact with the clutch pulley and drives the compressor shaft. When the coil is not
energized, the pulley freewheels on the clutch hub bearing, which is part of the pulley assembly.
2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
2011 HVAC Heating & Air Conditioning - Service Information - Grand Cherokee
A/C compressor clutch engagement is controlled by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) or the Engine
Control Module (ECM), depending on engine application.
The A/C compressor clutch components cannot be repaired and must be replaced if inoperative or damaged.
A/C COMPRESSOR
The A/C compressor is driven by the engine through an electric clutch, drive pulley and belt arrangement. The
A/C compressor is lubricated by refrigerant oil that is circulated throughout the refrigerant system with the
refrigerant.
The A/C compressor draws in low-pressure refrigerant vapor from the A/C evaporator through its suction port.
It then compresses the refrigerant into a high-pressure, high-temperature refrigerant vapor, which is then
pumped to the A/C condenser through the compressor discharge port.
CAUTION: Be certain to adjust the refrigerant system oil level when replacing an A/C
compressor. Refer to OIL, REFRIGERANT, STANDARD PROCEDURE.
Failure to properly adjust the refrigerant oil level can prevent the A/C
system from operating as designed and can cause serious A/C
compressor damage.
The A/C compressor cannot be repaired and must be replaced if found to be inoperative or damaged. The
compressor clutch, pulley and bearing assembly, and clutch field coil are available for service. If an internal
failure of the A/C compressor has occurred, the A/C condenser must also be replaced. Refer to CONDENSER,
A/C, REMOVAL.
The high pressure relief valve vents refrigerant from the A/C system when a discharge pressure of 3445 to 4135
kPa (500 to 600 psi) or above is reached. The high pressure relief valve closes with a minimum discharge
pressure of 2756 kPa (400 psi) is reached.
The high pressure relief valve should not open when the A/C system is operating correctly. If the high pressure
relief valve vents refrigerant, there is most likely a problem within the A/C refrigerant system. The high
pressure relief valve vents only enough refrigerant to reduce the A/C system pressure, and then re-seats itself. If
the high pressure relief valve vents refrigerant, see the A/C System Diagnosis chart. Refer to DIAGNOSIS
AND TESTING.
The high pressure relief valve is factory-calibrated and cannot be adjusted or repaired, and must not be removed
or otherwise disturbed. The valve is only serviced as a part of the A/C compressor.
The A/C clutch coil electrical circuit is controlled by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), through the
Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM). Refer to appropriate Wiring Information for complete HVAC wiring
diagrams. Begin testing of a suspected A/C clutch coil problem by performing the preliminary checks.
2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
2011 HVAC Heating & Air Conditioning - Service Information - Grand Cherokee
PRELIMINARY CHECKS
1. Using a scan tool, check for Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) in the A/C heater control, PCM and
TIPM. If no DTCs are found, refer to 2. If any DTCs are found, repair as required.
2. If the A/C clutch still will not engage, verify the refrigerant charge level by conducting the A/C
Performance test. Refer to DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING. If the refrigerant charge level is OK, refer to
COIL RESISTANCE TEST and COIL CURRENT DRAW TEST. If the refrigerant charge level is
not OK, adjust the refrigerant charge as required.
1. Verify the battery state of charge. Refer to BATTERY, AGM, DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING .
2. Connect an ammeter (0 to 10 ampere scale selected) in series with the A/C clutch coil feed terminal using
Back Probe Tool (special tool #6801, Terminal Probe). Connect a voltmeter (0 to 20 volt scale selected)
to measure voltage across the battery and the A/C clutch coil.
3. With the A/C-heater control in the A/C mode and the blower motor at low speed, start the engine and
allow it to run at a normal idle speed.
4. The A/C clutch should engage immediately and the clutch coil supply voltage should be within two volts
of the battery voltage. If the clutch coil supply voltage is OK, refer to 5. If the coil supply voltage is not
within two volts of battery voltage, test the clutch coil feed circuit for excessive voltage drop and repair as
necessary.
5. See A/C Clutch Coil Specifications table for acceptable A/C clutch coil current draw. Specifications
apply for a work area temperature of 21° C (70° F). If voltage is more than 12.5 volts, add electrical loads
by turning on electrical accessories until voltage reads below 12.5 volts.
1. If the A/C clutch coil current reading is zero, the coil is open and must be replaced.
2. If the A/C clutch coil current reading is above specifications, the coil is shorted and must be
replaced.
21° C (70° F)
When investigating an A/C system related noise, you must first know the conditions under which the noise
occurs. These conditions include: weather, vehicle speed, transmission in gear or neutral, engine speed, engine
temperature, and any other special conditions. Noises that develop during A/C operation can often be
misleading. For example: What sounds like a failed front engine bearing or connecting rod, may be caused by
loose bolts, nuts, mounting brackets or a loose compressor clutch assembly.
Drive belts are speed sensitive. At different engine speeds and depending upon drive belt tension, drive belts
can develop noises that are mistaken for an A/C compressor noise. Improper drive belt tension can cause a
misleading noise when the compressor clutch is engaged, which may not occur when the compressor clutch is
disengaged. Check the accessory drive belt condition and tension as described in Cooling before beginning this
procedure.
1. Select a quiet area for testing. Duplicate the complaint conditions as much as possible. Turn the A/C
compressor On and Off several times to clearly identify the compressor noise. Listen to the A/C
compressor while the clutch is engaged and disengaged. Probe the A/C compressor with an engine
stethoscope or a long screwdriver with the handle held to your ear to better localize the source of the
noise.
2. Loosen all of the compressor mounting hardware and retighten. Check the compressor clutch retainer. Be
certain that the clutch field coil is mounted securely to the A/C compressor, and that the clutch plate and
pulley are properly aligned and have the correct air gap.
3. To duplicate high-ambient temperature conditions (high head pressure), restrict the air flow through the
A/C condenser. Install a manifold gauge set or a scan tool to be certain that the discharge pressure does
not exceed 2760 kPa (400 psi).
4. Check the refrigerant system plumbing for incorrect routing, rubbing or interference, which can cause
unusual noises. Also check the refrigerant lines and hoses for kinks or sharp bends that will restrict
refrigerant flow, which can cause noises.
5. If the noise is from opening and closing of the high pressure relief valve, conduct the A/C Performance
test and verify refrigerant charge level. Refer to DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING.
6. If the high pressure relief valve still does not seat properly, replace the A/C compressor. Refer to
COMPRESSOR, A/C, REMOVAL.
STANDARD PROCEDURE
NOTE: The A/C clutch can be serviced in the vehicle. The refrigerant system can
remain fully-charged during compressor clutch, pulley and bearing assembly,

Courtesy of CHRYSLER LLC
The A/C condenser (1) is located at the front of the engine compartment, behind the grille. The A/C condenser
is a heat exchanger that allows the high-pressure refrigerant gas being discharged by the A/C compressor to
give up its heat to the air passing over the condenser fins, which causes the refrigerant to cool and change to a
liquid state.
CAUTION: The A/C condenser must be replaced if an internal failure of the A/C
compressor has occurred. Failure to replace the A/C condenser can cause
serious damage to the replacement A/C compressor. Refer to
CONDENSER, A/C, REMOVAL.
The A/C condenser is equipped with integral mounting tabs (2 and 7), a tapping block for the A/C discharge and
liquid lines (3), mounting provisions for the power steering cooler (4), an integral A/C receiver/drier (5), and an
integral automatic transmission cooler with a tapping block (6) for the transmission cooler lines.
OPERATION
OPERATION
When air passes through the fins of the A/C condenser, the high-pressure refrigerant gas within the A/C
condenser gives up its heat. The refrigerant then condenses as it leaves the A/C condenser and becomes a high-
pressure liquid. The volume of air flowing over the condenser fins is critical to the proper cooling performance
of the A/C system. Therefore, it is important that there are no objects placed in front of the radiator grille
openings at the front of the vehicle or foreign material on the condenser fins that might obstruct proper air flow.
Also, any factory-installed air seals or shrouds must be properly reinstalled following radiator or A/C condenser
service.

CORE, HEATER
DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
The heater core (1) is mounted into the left side of the HVAC air distribution housing, which is located behind
the instrument panel. The heater core is a heat exchanger made of rows of aluminum tubes and fins. The heater
core is positioned within the air distribution housing so that only the selected amount of air entering the housing
passes through the heater core, before being distributed through the heater-A/C system ducts and outlets. One
end of the heater core is fitted with a tank (2) that includes the fittings for the heater core tubes (3)
The heater core can be serviced without removing the HVAC housing from the vehicle.
OPERATION
OPERATION
When the engine is running, engine coolant is circulated at all times from the engine through hoses to the heater
core. As the coolant flows through the engine and into the heater core, heat is removed from the engine and
transferred to the heater core tubes and fins. Air is directed through the heater core and picks up the heat from
the heater core fins and tubes and becomes distributed into the HVAC air distribution housing. The blend-air
2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
2011 HVAC Heating & Air Conditioning - Service Information - Grand Cherokee

The high side service port (1) is located on the A/C liquid line, near the upper radiator support. The low side
service port (2) is located on the A/C suction line, near the left strut tower. Refrigerant system service ports are
used to recover, recycle, evacuate, charge and test the A/C refrigerant system. Unique sizes are used on the two
service ports for the R-134a refrigerant system to ensure the proper connections are made when using
refrigerant system service equipment, and that the system is not accidentally contaminated with R-12
refrigerant, or by service equipment used for R-12 refrigerant.
NOTE: Protective caps aid in service port sealing and help protect the refrigerant
system from contamination. Remember to always reinstall the protective caps
onto the service ports when refrigerant system service is complete.
Each of the service ports has a threaded plastic protective cap installed over it from the factory.
The high side and low side A/C service port valve cores and the protective caps are serviceable items.

The A/C receiver/drier (5) stores unnecessary refrigerant, filters the refrigerant, helps remove moisture from the
refrigerant and retains any refrigerant vapor that may leave the A/C condenser (1) until it becomes a liquid. The
A/C receiver/drier is on the high-side of the A/C system and is located on the left side of the A/C condenser.
CAUTION: The A/C condenser must be replaced if an internal failure of the A/C
compressor has occurred. Failure to replace the A/C condenser can cause
serious damage to the replacement A/C compressor. Refer to
CONDENSER, A/C, REMOVAL.
The A/C receiver/drier is integral to the A/C condenser and must be replaced with the condenser as an
assembly.
OPERATION
OPERATION
The A/C receiver/drier performs a filtering action to prevent foreign material that may be in the refrigerant from
contaminating the A/C expansion valve and the A/C compressor. Refrigerant enters the A/C receiver/drier as a
high-pressure, low temperature liquid. Desiccant inside the A/C receiver/drier absorbs any moisture which may
have entered and become trapped within the refrigerant system. In addition, during periods of high demand
operation of the A/C system, the A/C receiver/drier acts as a reservoir to store surplus refrigerant.
The A/C receiver/drier is integral to the A/C condenser and has no serviceable parts.
The A/C receiver/drier cannot be repaired and the A/C condenser must be replaced if the receiver/drier is
leaking or damaged, or if an internal failure of the A/C compressor has occurred. Refer to CONDENSER, A/C,

EVAPORATOR, A/C
DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
The A/C evaporator (1) for the heating-A/C system is located within the HVAC housing, behind the instrument
panel. The A/C evaporator and insulator (2) are positioned in the HVAC housing so that all air entering the
housing must pass over the evaporator fins before it is distributed through the heating-A/C system ducts and
outlets. However, air passing over the evaporator fins will only be conditioned when the A/C compressor is
engaged and circulating refrigerant through the A/C evaporator.
The A/C evaporator tubes (4) are connected and sealed to the A/C expansion valve by use of rubber O-rings (5)
and a tapping block (3).
The A/C evaporator can only be serviced by removing and disassembling the HVAC housing assembly.
OPERATION
OPERATION
Refrigerant enters the A/C evaporator from the A/C expansion valve as a low-temperature, low-pressure
mixture of liquid and gas. As air flows over the fins of the A/C evaporator, the humidity in the air condenses on
the fins, and the heat from the air is absorbed by the refrigerant. Heat absorption causes the refrigerant to boil
and vaporize. The refrigerant becomes a low-pressure gas when it leaves the A/C evaporator.
NOTE: Replacement of the refrigerant line O-ring seals and gaskets is required anytime
2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
2011 HVAC Heating & Air Conditioning - Service Information - Grand Cherokee
The A/C evaporator has no serviceable parts except for the O-ring seals. The O-ring seals used on the
connections are made from a special type of rubber not affected by R-134a refrigerant. The O-ring seals must be
replaced whenever the A/C expansion valve is removed from the A/C evaporator.
The A/C evaporator cannot be repaired and must be replaced if leaking or damaged.

OIL, REFRIGERANT
STANDARD PROCEDURE
When an A/C system is assembled at the factory, all components except the A/C compressor are refrigerant oil
free. After the refrigerant system has been charged and operated, the refrigerant oil in the A/C compressor is
dispersed throughout the refrigerant system. The receiver/drier, A/C evaporator, A/C condenser and the A/C
compressor will each retain a significant amount of the needed refrigerant oil.
It is important to have the correct amount of refrigerant oil in the A/C system. This ensures proper lubrication of
the A/C compressor. Too little oil will result in damage to the A/C compressor, while too much oil will reduce
the cooling capacity of the A/C system and consequently result in higher discharge air temperatures.
CAUTION: The refrigerant oil in the A/C system is unique depending on the A/C
compressor used. Use only PAG oils that are designed to work with the
refrigerant type and A/C compressor in the vehicle. Always refer to the A/C
Underhood Specification Label for the correct oil designation. The
refrigerant oil container should be kept tightly capped until it is ready for
use, and then tightly recapped after use to prevent contamination from dirt
and moisture. Refrigerant oil will quickly absorb any moisture it comes in
contact with, therefore, special effort must be used to keep all R-134a
system components moisture-free. Moisture in the refrigerant oil is very
difficult to remove and will cause a reliability problem with the A/C
compressor.
NOTE: Most reclaim/recycling equipment will measure the lubricant being removed
during recovery. This amount of lubricant should be added back into the
system. Refer to the reclaim/recycling equipment manufacturers instructions.
It will not be necessary to check the oil level in the A/C compressor or to add oil, unless there has been an oil
loss. An oil loss may occur due to a rupture or leak from a refrigerant line, a connector fitting, a component, or a
component seal. If a leak occurs, add 30 milliliters (1 fluid ounce) of refrigerant oil to the refrigerant system
after the repair has been made. Refrigerant oil loss will be evident at the leak point by the presence of a wet,
shiny surface around the leak.
2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
2011 HVAC Heating & Air Conditioning - Service Information - Grand Cherokee
Refrigerant oil must be added when an A/C condenser, A/C evaporator or A/C receiver/drier is replaced. See
the Refrigerant Oil Capacities chart.
The refrigerant oil level in a new A/C compressor must first be adjusted prior to compressor installation. Refer
to COMPRESSOR OIL DRAIN PROCEDURE.
*Always use the type of PAG oil listed for the model being serviced. See A/C Underhood Specification Label
located in the engine compartment. Do not mix different types of PAG oils.
CAUTION: Be certain to adjust the refrigerant system oil level when replacing an A/C
compressor. Failure to properly drain and measure the refrigerant oil from
the A/C compressor can prevent the A/C system from operating as
designed and cause serious compressor damage.
The A/C compressor is filled with refrigerant oil from the factory. Use the following procedure to drain and
measure refrigerant oil from the A/C compressor.
1. Drain all of the refrigerant oil from the old A/C compressor into a clean measured container.
2. Drain all of the refrigerant oil from the new A/C compressor into a clean measured container.
3. Refill the new A/C compressor with the same amount of refrigerant oil that was drained out of the old
compressor. Use only clean refrigerant oil of the type specified for the A/C compressor in the vehicle.
4. Install the new A/C compressor onto the engine. Refer to COMPRESSOR, A/C, INSTALLATION.

SPECIFICATIONS
DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
The A/C expansion valve controls the amount of refrigerant entering the A/C evaporator and is of a thermostatic
expansion valve (TXV) design. The A/C expansion valve consists of an aluminum H-valve type body (1) with
an integral thermal sensor (2) and is located at the dash panel between the A/C refrigerant lines and the A/C
evaporator.
OPERATION
OPERATION
The A/C expansion valve controls the high-pressure, low temperature liquid refrigerant from the A/C liquid line
and converts it into a low-pressure, low-temperature mixture of liquid and gas before it enters the A/C
evaporator. A mechanical sensor in the A/C expansion valve monitors the temperature and pressure of the
refrigerant leaving the A/C evaporator through the A/C suction line, and adjusts the orifice size at the liquid line
port to let the proper amount of refrigerant into the evaporator to meet the vehicle A/C cooling requirements.
Controlling the refrigerant flow through the A/C evaporator ensures that none of the refrigerant leaving the A/C
evaporator is still in a liquid state, which could damage the A/C compressor.
NOTE: Replacement of the refrigerant line O-ring seals is required anytime a refrigerant
line is disconnected from the expansion valve. Failure to replace the rubber O-
ring seals could result in a refrigerant system leak.
2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
2011 HVAC Heating & Air Conditioning - Service Information - Grand Cherokee
The A/C expansion valve is factory calibrated and cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if
inoperative or damaged.
WARNING: Refer to the applicable Warnings and Cautions for this system before
performing the following operation. Refer to PLUMBING, WARNING and
PLUMBING, CAUTION. Failure to follow these instructions may result in
possible serious or fatal injury.
NOTE: The A/C expansion valve should only be tested following testing of the A/C
compressor.
NOTE: Liquid CO2 is required to test the A/C expansion valve. This material is available
from most welding supply facilities. Liquid CO2 is also available from
companies which service and sell fire extinguishers.
When testing the A/C expansion valve, the work area and the vehicle temperature must be 21° to 27° C (70° to
85° F). To test the expansion valve:
1. Connect a charging station or manifold gauge set to the refrigerant system service ports. Verify the
refrigerant charge level.
2. Close all doors, windows and vents to the passenger compartment.
3. Set the A/C-heater controls so that the A/C compressor is operating, the temperature control is in the
highest temperature position, the mode-air doors is directing air output to the floor and the blower motor
operating is operating at the highest speed.
4. Start the engine and allow it to idle. After the engine has reached normal operating temperature, allow the
passenger compartment to heat up. This will create the need for maximum refrigerant flow into the A/C
evaporator.
5. If the refrigerant charge is sufficient, the discharge (high pressure) gauge should read 827 kPa to 1655
kPa (120 psi to 240 psi). The suction (low pressure) gauge should read 207 kPa to 345 kPa (30 psi to 50
psi). If OK, refer to 6. If not OK, replace the inoperative A/C expansion valve.
WARNING: Protect the skin and eyes from exposure to liquid CO2 or personal
injury can result.
6. If the suction (low pressure) gauge reads within the specified range, freeze the A/C expansion valve for
30 seconds using liquid CO2 or another suitable super-cold material.Do not spray R-134a or R-12
refrigerant on the A/C expansion valve for this test. The suction (low pressure) gauge reading should
drop by 69 kPa (10 psi). If OK, refer to 7. If not OK, replace the inoperative A/C expansion valve.
7. Allow the expansion valve control head to thaw. The suction (low pressure) gauge reading should
stabilize at 207 kPa to 345 kPa (30 psi to 50 psi). If not OK, replace the inoperative A/C expansion valve.

DESCRIPTION
2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
2011 HVAC Heating & Air Conditioning - Service Information - Grand Cherokee
An Electric Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) heater unit (1) is used on vehicles when equipped with the
3.0L diesel engine. The PTC heater unit aids in passenger compartment heating by compensating for the lower
engine coolant temperatures produced by the diesel engine. The PTC heater unit is mounted in the HVAC air
distribution housing, downstream of the heater core and is controlled by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
and the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM).
The PTC heater consists of a molded plastic mounting plate (2) with an integral wire connector receptacle (3).
Concealed behind the mounting plate are four heating elements with fins (4) that transfer the heat produced by
the PTC heater to the conditioned air flowing within the air distribution housing. A retaining feature (5) is
molded onto the opposite end of the heater unit to support the heater unit inside the air distribution housing. The
PTC heater unit is connected to the vehicle electrical system through the instrument panel wire harness and the
PTC heater jumper harness.
The PTC heater unit is accessed for service by removing the instrument panel.
OPERATION
OPERATION
The Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) heater unit dissipates 1 kW of electrical power through 4 heating
bars. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) operate three
relays for the PTC heater unit. The PTC heater unit is split into three "banks". Each bank is driven separately
based on alternator load. This allows for lower in-rush current and optimum battery charging. After a bank has
been turned on, another bank can only be turned on 10 seconds after the previous. On average, the PTC banks
are not switched more than 25 times for each vehicle start. Electrical power output is between 900-1050 W.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The HVAC A/C Heater Control contains various switches and knobs that are used to change the systems
operation. There are currently three types of switches used depending on the configuration of the system. Push
button momentary switches which are normally open or in the Off position. Multifunction or rotary switches
which have several distinct positions and potentiometers which are a rotary variable resistor that is used for a
more precise control. An active Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) indicates that either a control switch or
potentiometer is stuck in an On position or out of a calibrated range. A stored DTC indicates that control switch
or potentiometer was stuck On or out of calibration but has since returned to its normal state. For further
information, refer to CONTROL, A/C AND HEATER , DESCRIPTION .

THEORY OF OPERATION
2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
2011 HVAC Heating & Air Conditioning - Electrical Diagnostics - Grand Cherokee
The HVAC A/C heater control uses a variety of sensors to adjust HVAC operation to obtain optimal
performance. These sensors are continuously monitored by the A/C heater control to assure that they are in
range. An active Diagnostic trouble Code (DTC) indicates that a sensor is out of range. A stored DTC indicates
that the sensor was out of range but is currently within range.
The evaporator temperature sensor monitors the surface temperature of the A/C evaporator and supplies an
input signal to the A/C heater control. The input signal value is used to optimize the A/C system performance
and to protect the A/C evaporator from freezing. The evaporator temperature sensor resistance value will
change in response to the surface temperature of A/C evaporator. The resistance value is electronically
transferred to the A/C heater control using a sensor ground circuit and a 5-volt reference signal circuit. Normal
operation of the sensor the resistive value decreases when the A/C evaporator temperature decreases and the
sensor resistive value increases when the A/C evaporator temperature increases.
WHEN MONITORED:
SET CONDITION:
The A/C Heater Control detects a short to ground on the Evaporator Temperature Sensor Signal voltage input to
the controller. If the A/C Heater Control detects a valid voltage, the DTC will change from active to stored and
will stay stored for 100 ignition cycles.

THEORY OF OPERATION
After the initial installation of the A/C Heater Control, the controller is calibrated to each individual blend/mode
door actuator. These calibrations are stored as in the number of pulses it takes to move the door from one stop to
another. The A/C Heater Control drives the Door Actuators by the use of Door Driver circuit and a Common
Door Driver circuit and monitors all door actuator pulses to detect door movement in both directions. Most of
the door actuators share a common door driver circuit but each door actuator has its own unique driver circuit.
Due to shared circuitry, similar Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) can set at the same time for multiple
actuators depending upon the type of circuit malfunction, its location, and the direction the actuator is moving
when the malfunction is present. For further information, refer to DESCRIPTION .
WHEN MONITORED:
SET CONDITION:
If the A/C Heater Control detects a overheat condition of the Integrated Circuit (IC) that controls the
Recirculation Door Driver circuit. If the A/C Heater Control detects a valid temperature the DTC will change
from Active to Stored and will stay in the controllers memory for 100 ignition cycles.

WHEN MONITORED:
SET CONDITION:
The A/C Heater Control uses a pulse feedback to the controller to detect the total door movement range. If the
amount of pulses required to move the door completely in both directions is less than what the controller has
stored in its memory, this DTC will set. If an Actuator Calibration Test is performed and the A/C Heater
Control detects a valid range of the door movement span in both directions, the DTC will change from Active to

THEORY OF OPERATION
The HVAC A/C Heater Control contains various switches and knobs that are used to change the systems
operation. There are currently three types of switches used depending on the configuration of the system. Push
button momentary switches which are normally open or in the Off position. Multifunction or rotary switches
which have several distinct positions and potentiometers which are a rotary variable resistor that is used for a
more precise control. An active Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) indicates that either a control switch or
potentiometer is stuck in an On position or out of a calibrated range. A stored DTC indicates that control switch
or potentiometer was stuck On or out of calibration but has since returned to its normal state. For further
information, refer to CONTROL, A/C AND HEATER , DESCRIPTION .

THEORY OF OPERATION
After the initial installation of the A/C Heater Control, the controller is calibrated to each individual blend/mode
door actuator. These calibrations are stored as in the number of pulses it takes to move the door from one stop to
another. The A/C Heater Control drives the Door Actuators by the use of Door Driver circuit and a Common
Door Driver circuit and monitors all door actuator pulses to detect door movement in both directions. Most of
the door actuators share a common door driver circuit but each door actuator has its own unique driver circuit.
Due to shared circuitry, similar Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) can set at the same time for multiple
actuators depending upon the type of circuit malfunction, its location, and the direction the actuator is moving
when the malfunction is present. For further information, refer to DESCRIPTION .
WHEN MONITORED:
SET CONDITION:
If the A/C Heater Control detects a overheat condition of the Integrated Circuit (IC) that controls the Passenger
Blend Door Driver circuit. If the A/C Heater Control detects a valid temperature the DTC will change from
Active to Stored and will stay in the controllers memory for 100 ignition cycles.

THEORY OF OPERATION
After the initial installation of the A/C Heater Control, the controller is calibrated to each individual blend/mode
door actuator. These calibrations are stored as in the number of pulses it takes to move the door from one stop to
another. The A/C Heater Control drives the Door Actuators by the use of Door Driver circuit and a Common

when the malfunction is present. For further information, refer to DESCRIPTION .
WHEN MONITORED:
SET CONDITION:
The A/C Heater Control uses a pulse feedback to the controller to detect the total door movement range. If the
amount of pulses required to move the door completely in both directions is less than what the controller has
stored in its memory, this DTC will set. If an Actuator Calibration Test is performed and the A/C Heater
Control detects a valid range of the door movement span in both directions, the DTC will change from Active to

ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTICS
CAUTION: Do not exchange A/C Heater Controls from vehicle to vehicle. Software
versions differ between models and model years. Installing an A/C Heater
Control with software that is incompatible for a given vehicle can result in
either improper or failed HVAC system operation.
NOTE: Always inspect the IOD fuse prior to diagnosing any heating-A/C system
concerns. Make sure the fuse is functional and fully seated into the terminals of
the totally integrated power module (TIPM) located in the engine compartment.
The A/C-heater control communicates on the controller area network (CAN) B bus and is fully addressable with
a scan tool.
The A/C-heater controls primary means of fault detection is through active and stored diagnostic trouble codes
(DTCs). Active DTCs are those which currently exist in the system. The condition causing the fault must be
repaired in order to clear this type of DTC. Stored DTCs are those which occurred in the system since the A/C-
heater control received the last clear diagnostic info message. All DTCs must be read with a scan tool (refer to
DIAGNOSTIC CODE INDEX for the diagnostic test procedures).
The A/C-heater controls secondary means of fault detection is through system tests. These tests include the
HVAC System Test, the A/C Cooldown Test, the Actuator Calibration Function, and for MTC Systems, the
Actuator DTC Detection Test. Refer to SYSTEM TESTS for a detailed description of each test.
