For a complete wiring diagram, refer to appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article .

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:

Once at each ignition cycle.

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.

For a complete wiring diagram, refer to appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article .

THEORY OF OPERATION
2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
2011 STEERING Electro-Hydraulic Power Steering (EHPS) Module - Electrical Diagnostics - Grand Cherokee

The Electro-Hydraulic Power Steering (EHPS) Assembly contains a control module, brushless electric motor,
and hydraulic pump integrated into a single unit. The EHPS Assembly draws power from the 12-Volt electrical
system and provides the necessary flow and pressure to the steering gear to provide normal power steering
independent of the gasoline engine. The EHPS Assembly requires communication over the CAN C bus to
function properly. The output flow of the EHPS Assembly is varied as a function of Steering Wheel Rate
(received from SAS Module) 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 pump will start to provide
steering assist when a hybrid active (vehicle started) or a Vehicle speed message greater than 5 kph (3 mph) is
received on CAN C. If both the Vehicle Speed and Hybrid Active messages are missing at vehicle startup, the
EHPS Assembly will not operate. If the Vehicle Speed message is lost during operation the EHPS Module 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 Module 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 Assembly will resume normal operation automatically once any missing
message or out of range condition noted above is restored to normal.

WHEN MONITORED:

Continuously while the system is active.

SET CONDITION:

An error message has been received over the bus from the Steering Angle Sensor (SAS).

THEORY OF OPERATION

The brake switch signal must be active before the shift lever can be moved out of the park position. The Shifter
Lever Assembly (SLA) Electronic Shift Module (ESM) receives two brake switch signals. The first signal is a
CAN C Bus message sent to the shifter lever assembly. The second signal is a hard wired brake switch signal to
the shifter lever assembly from the Wireless Ignition Node (WIN). The CAN C Bus message is the primary
brake switch signal and the hard wired signal serves as the backup brake switch signal. These two brake switch
signals are compared against each other to verify proper brake switch operation.

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

NOTE: If a TCM software update is performed, all DTC information (Environmental


Data) will be lost.

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

1. Did any of the above procedures repair the vehicle?

Yes

 Testing is complete.
 Perform NAG1 TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD
PROCEDURE .

No

 Refer to the appropriate Diagnostic Information and perform the appropriate symptom(s).

For a complete wiring diagram, refer to appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article .

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 .

WHEN MONITORED:

Continuously.

SET CONDITION:

The MSMD detects an open in either driver seat switch MUX circuit.

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

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 .

For a complete wiring diagram, refer to appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article .

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

B1D83-00-SEAT REAR VERTICAL MOTOR CONTROL CIRCUIT PERFORMANCE


2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
2011 ACCESSORIES AND EQUIPMENT Memory Seat Module (MSMD) - Electrical Diagnostics - Grand Cherokee

Fig. 66: Seat Motor Wiring Diagram


Courtesy of CHRYSLER LLC

For a complete wiring diagram, refer to appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article .

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:

The seat motor is activated.

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.

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:

The seat motor is activated.

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 .

WHEN MONITORED:

The tilt motor is activated.

SET CONDITION:

The position sensor input is less than 1.7 volts or more than 14 ms.

For a complete wiring diagram, refer to appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article .

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 .

WHEN MONITORED:

The tilt motor is activated.

SET CONDITION:

The MSMD does not detect tilt motor activation.

THEORY OF OPERATION

The Memory System is made up of the Memory Seat Module (MSMD), Memory Switch, Driver Seat Switch,
multiple Seat Motors which also each contain a hall-effect position sensor, and the Tilt and Telescope Steering
2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee

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

the MSMD via a MUX signal 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:

THEORY OF OPERATION

The Memory System is made up of the Memory Seat Module (MSM), Memory Switch, Driver Seat 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 MSM
via a MUX signal circuit. The MSM 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 MSM also powers the hall-effect position sensor located in each Seat Motor. These hall-effect
sensors provide feedback to the MSM 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 MSM via a MUX
signal circuit. The Tilt Motor and Telescope Motor are then commanded by the MSM 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 MSM 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 MSM 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 MSM 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 MSM 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:

Engine running, during seat motor operation.

SET CONDITION:

The Memory Seat Module receives a low charging system voltage message over the CAN B Bus or detects
voltage under 9.5 volts on the (A210) Fused B(+) circuit.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING


B128E-11-PTS SENSOR 1 - CIRCUIT SHORT TO GROUND

For a complete wiring diagram, refer to appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article .

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.

For a complete wiring diagram, refer to appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article .

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 a short to ground on the Park Assist Sensor Signal circuit.

For a complete wiring diagram, refer to appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article .

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).

C1597-00-TPM SYSTEM DEACTIVATED-WINTER MODE

For a complete wiring diagram, refer to appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article .

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:

During vehicle TPM Sensor locate process.

SET CONDITION:

For BUX/Canada vehicles only where all four TPM Sensors fail the locate processes at the same time because
the TPM sensors are not installed on winter tire and wheel assemblies.

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.

WHEN MONITORED:

With the ignition on.

SET CONDITION:

The Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) detects a corrupt CAN C Bus message.

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.

WHEN MONITORED:

With the ignition on.

Battery voltage between 10 and 16 volts.

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.

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.

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.

WHEN MONITORED:

With the ignition on.

Battery voltage between 10 and 16 volts.

Ignition Off Draw (IOD) fuse installed.

Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) is configured correctly.

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.

WHEN MONITORED:

With the ignition on.

Battery voltage between 10 and 16 volts.

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.

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.

WHEN MONITORED:

With the ignition on.

Battery voltage between 10 and 16 volts.

Ignition Off Draw (IOD) fuse installed.

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.

WHEN MONITORED:

Battery voltage between 10 and 16 volts.

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.

Battery voltage between 10 and 16 volts.

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.

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 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.

WHEN MONITORED:

With the ignition on.

Battery voltage between 10 and 16 volts.

Ignition Off Draw (IOD) fuse installed.

Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) is configured correctly.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING


P0219-ENGINE OVERSPEED

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.

WHEN MONITORED:

Continuously with the ignition on, engine running, with the transmission in gear with a valid Engine RPM
message received at least once, and the CAN Bus Circuit and Engine CAN Message Missing are not active.

SET CONDITION:

Engine speed is greater than a calibrated limit (see table above).

P0730-INCORRECT GEAR RATIO

For a complete wiring diagram, refer to appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article .

THEORY OF OPERATION

The Transmission Control Module (TCM) constantly calculates the transmission ratio based on the input speed
sensor 1 and 2 (N2-N3) signals and the calculated output shaft speed. The intent of this diagnostic is to detect if
the transmission is trying to mechanically shift into a different gear than the TCM intends.

NOTE: The transmission control module is programmed to immediately place the


transmission into neutral if P0730 or P1731 codes are set. These codes indicate
that the transmission experienced an unknown or incorrect gear ratio. Placing
the transmission in neutral prevents potential catastrophic failure. When this
occurs, the transmission will remain in neutral until the vehicle slows to 29
Km/h (18 mph).

WHEN MONITORED:

Engine RPM greater than 450 RPM, no N2 - N3 input speed sensor errors present, no gear selector lever errors
present, no ABS system errors, and vehicle speed above 10 Km/h (6 mph).

SET CONDITION:

No shifting operation and actual gear differs from the target gear. No shifting operation - actual (calculated)
gear differs from the target (expected) gear, no plausible gear is calculated, actual (calculated) turbine speed is
greater than 300 RPM or calculated transmission ratio is above threshold. During an Upshift - actual
(calculated) gear is less than target (expected) gear. During Downshift - actual (calculated) gear is greater than
target (expected) gear.

P0741-TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH CIRCUIT PERFORMANCE

For a complete wiring diagram, refer to appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article .

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:
2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
2011 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION Transmission Control Module (TCM) - Electrical Diagnostics - Grand Cherokee

Ignition on, TCM not in initialization phase, no input speed sensor 1 or 2 (N2-N3) DTCs, no CAN bus or ECM

THEORY OF OPERATION

The Modulating Pressure Control Solenoid Valve's purpose is to control the modulating pressure depending on
the continuously changing operating conditions, such as load and gear change.
2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
2011 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION Transmission Control Module (TCM) - Electrical Diagnostics - Grand Cherokee

The Modulating Pressure Control Solenoid Valve is always active. The solenoid uses pulse width modulation
(PWM) to control the transmissions hydraulic fluid pressure that is determined by the Transmission Control
Module (TCM).

WHEN MONITORED:

Continuously with the ignition on, engine running, the Modulating Pressure Control Solenoid Valve is either
off, or active with 25-75% duty cycle, with no Solenoid Supply Voltage DTCs present.

SET CONDITION:

When the Modulating Pressure Control Solenoid Valve is turned on and the Solenoid driver detects an error (the
measured current is too different then the target current) or when the solenoid is off and a short to ground is
detected.

POSSIBLE CAUSES

Possible Causes
(T76) MODULATION PRESSURE SOLENOID CONTROL CIRCUIT OPEN

Fig. 99: Electrohydraulic Control Unit Wiring Diagram


Courtesy of CHRYSLER LLC

For a complete wiring diagram, refer to appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article .

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.

WHEN MONITORED:

P1731-INCORRECT GEAR ENGAGED

For a complete wiring diagram, refer to appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article .

THEORY OF OPERATION

The Transmission Control Module (TCM) constantly calculates the transmission ratio based on the input speed
sensor 1 and 2 (N2-N3) signals and the calculated output shaft speed. The intent of this diagnostic is to detect if
the transmission is trying to mechanically shift into a different gear than the TCM intends.

NOTE: The transmission control module is programmed to immediately place the


transmission into neutral if P0730 or P1731 codes are set. These codes indicate
that the transmission experienced an unknown or incorrect gear ratio. Placing
the transmission in neutral prevents potential catastrophic failure. When this
occurs, the transmission will remain in neutral until the vehicle slows to 29
Km/h (18 mph).

WHEN MONITORED:

Engine RPM greater than 450 RPM, no N2 - N3 input speed sensor errors present, no gear selector lever errors
present, no ABS system errors, and vehicle speed above 10 Km/h (6 mph).

SET CONDITION:

No shifting operation and actual gear differs from the target gear. No shifting operation - actual (calculated)
gear differs from target (expected) gear, actual (calculated) turbine speed is greater than 300 RPM or calculated
transmission ratio is above threshold. During an Upshift - actual (calculated) gear is less than target (expected)
gear. During Downshift - actual (calculated) gear is greater than target (expected) gear. Exception: Actual
(calculated) gear is 1st and target (desired) gear is 2nd.

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.

NOTE: If a TCM software update is performed, all DTC information (Environmental


Data) will be lost.

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
2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
2011 ACCESSORIES AND EQUIPMENT Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) - Electrical Diagnostics - Grand Cherokee

Whenever a Fob-Integrated-Key (FOBIK) is inserted in the Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) basestation, the WIN
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 whether the ID of
the FOBIK is recognized as valid in the WIN.

WHEN MONITORED:

During interrogation, the FOBIK sends a low frequency (LF) signal to the WIN that includes the inserted
FOBIK ID.

SET CONDITION:

This DTC sets if the WIN receives an ID from the FOBIK that does not match any of the eight possible FOBIK
IDs currently programmed in the WIN. This DTC will remain active until a valid, programmed FOBIK is
inserted in the basestation and rotated through the ON position.

POSSIBLE CAUSES

Possible Causes
FOBIK
WIRELESS IGNITION NODE (WIN)

Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. Refer to WIRELESS
IGNITION NODE (WIN) PRE-DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE.

DIAGNOSTIC TEST

NOTE: An external Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) key (and/or pass/radio


key), such as one used to gain access to a 24 hour gym, can cause this
DTC to set and create a no start condition. Inspect the customer's key
chain for any type of RFID key. If one is not found, question the customer
to see if a spare key chain has this RFID key on it or if it was removed from
the original key chain before the vehicle was released for service. If a RFID
key is present, remove the ignition key from the vehicle and remove the
RFID key from the key chain. For GPEC equipped vehicles, disconnect the
battery and wait a minimum of five minutes, reconnect and attempt to start
the vehicle. For NGC equipped vehicles, turn the ignition on a minimum for

B1A28-ECM MISMATCH WITH SKIM

For a complete wiring diagram, refer to appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article .

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.

POSSIBLE CAUSES

Possible Causes

B1A29-SKIM BASESTATION MISMATCH

For a complete wiring diagram, refer to appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article .

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,
the WIN will send the command to illuminate the Security warning lamp, send an invalid key status in the

B1A6C-SECRET KEY MISMATCH

For a complete wiring diagram, refer to appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article .

THEORY OF OPERATION

Whenever a Fob-Integrated-Key (FOBIK) is inserted in the Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) basestation, the WIN
performs a self test and resynchronization routine. During the routine, the WIN interrogates the FOBIK for the
secret key information and start the vehicle. The repair of this fault condition relies on whether the current
secret key in the FOBIK is recognized by the WIN.

WHEN MONITORED:

During interrogation, the FOBIK sends a low frequency (LF) signal to the WIN that includes the current secret
key.

SET CONDITION:

This Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) sets if the WIN receives a secret key ID from the FOBIK that is not the
correct secret key value stored in the WIN. This DTC will remain active until a valid, programmed FOBIK,
with the correct secret key is inserted in the basestation and rotated through the ON position.

B2205-ORIGINAL VIN MISSING/MISMATCH

For a complete wiring diagram, refer to appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article .

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
memory is received by the module from the bus.

For a complete wiring diagram, refer to appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article .

THEORY OF OPERATION

The brake switch signal must be active before the shift lever can be moved out of the park position. The Shifter
Lever Assembly (SLA) Electronic Shift Module (ESM) receives two brake switch signals. The first signal is a
2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
2011 ACCESSORIES AND EQUIPMENT Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) - Electrical Diagnostics - Grand Cherokee

CAN C Bus message sent to the shifter lever assembly. The second signal is a hard wired Brake Transmission
Switch Interlock (BTSI) Control signal to the shifter lever assembly from the Wireless Ignition Node (WIN).
The CAN C Bus message is the primary brake switch signal and the hard wired signal serves as the backup
brake switch signal. These two brake switch signals are compared against each other to verify proper brake
switch operation.

customer concern. If a TSB applies, follow the procedure outlined in the TSB.
3. DIAGNOSE ONLY THOSE FAILURES THAT ARE ACTIVE AND CAN BE REPRODUCED
 Check the control module that is central to the subsystem which is exhibiting the condition for the
active DTCs.
 For an intermittent failure that is not current at the time of vehicle inspection, and perform the WIN
INTERMITTENT TEST and document the event on the repair order. Refer to STANDARD
PROCEDURE.
4. ADDRESS ACTIVE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS) IN THE CORRECT ORDER

As a general rule, for any WIN module that exhibits more than one active DTC, address the codes in the
order indicated:

1. Low/High Voltage and Serial Data Loss of Communication Codes


2. Module Internal Failure and Configuration Mismatch Codes
3. Circuit specific DTC failures

Should the malfunction still be present after conducting this Pre-diagnostic Procedure, technicians should
continue to the appropriate DTC procedure or symptom diagnostic.

WIRELESS IGNITION NODE (WIN) VERIFICATION

WIN VERIFICATION

For a complete wiring diagram, refer to appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article .

Perform the following after completion of a diagnostic repair:

NOTE: When entering the Personal Identification Number (PIN), care should be taken
because the WIN will only allow three consecutive attempts to enter the correct
PIN. If three consecutive incorrect PINs are entered the WIN will Lock Out the
scan tool. To exit Lock Mode, the ignition key must remain in the Run position
for one hour. All accessories must be off. A battery charger connected to the
battery during this time period is recommended.

NOTE: On vehicles equipped with a Base Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) system, when
the WIN and/or the spare tire pressure sensor is replaced with a new unit, a
2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
2011 ACCESSORIES AND EQUIPMENT Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) - Electrical Diagnostics - Grand Cherokee

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.

1. Reconnect the previously disconnected components and connectors.


2. Obtain the vehicle's unique Personal Identification Number (PIN) assigned to it's original WIN. This
number can be obtained from the original vehicle invoice or from your Service Manager or Parts
Manager.

PCM & WIN REPLACEMENT

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.
5. If the vehicle is equipped with the Base Tire Pressure Monitoring System, program the Placard Pressure

FRAME
WARNING

USE OF HEAT DURING REPAIR

WARNING: Chrysler Group LLC engineering's position on the use of heat during
collision repair is as follows:

 Any body panel or frame component damaged which is to be


repaired and reused, must be repaired using the "cold straightening"
method. No heat may be used during the straightening process.
 During rough straightening prior to panel replacement, damaged
panels or frame components may be heated to assist in body/frame
2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
2011 ACCESSORIES AND EQUIPMENT Frame and Bumpers - Grand Cherokee

realignment. The application of heat must be constrained to the


parts which will be replaced and not allowed to affect any other
components.

This "no heat" recommendation is due to the extensive use of high


strength and advanced high strength steels in Chrysler Group LLC
products. High-strength materials can be substantially and negatively
affected from heat input which will not be obviously known to the repairer
or consumer.

Ignoring these recommendations may lead to serious compromises in the


ability to protect occupants in a future collision event, reduce the
engineered qualities and attributes, or decrease the durability and
reliability of the vehicle.

This statement supersedes any previously released information by the


Chrysler Group LLC.

Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious or fatal injury.

WARNINGS

WARNING: Use an Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) approved


breathing filter, when spraying paint or solvents in a confined area.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal
injury.

 avoid prolonged skin contact with petroleum or alcohol based


cleaning solvents.
 do not stand under a hoisted vehicle that is not properly supported
on safety stands. Failure to follow these instructions may result in
possible serious or fatal injury.

CAUTION: When holes are drilled or punched in an inner body panel, verify the depth
of space to the outer body panel, electrical wiring or other components.
Damage to the vehicle can result.

 do not weld exterior panels unless combustible material on the


interior of vehicle is removed from the repair area. Fire or hazardous
conditions, can result.
 always have a fire extinguisher ready for use when welding.
 disconnect the negative (-) cable clamp from the battery when
servicing electrical components that are live when the ignition is off.
Damage to electrical system can result.
 do not use abrasive chemicals or compounds on painted surfaces.
2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
2011 ACCESSORIES AND EQUIPMENT Frame and Bumpers - Grand Cherokee

Damage to finish can result.


 do not use harsh alkaline based cleaning solvents on painted or
upholstered surfaces. Damage to finish or color can result.
 do not hammer or pound on plastic trim panel when servicing interior
trim. Plastic panels can break.

RESTRAINT WARNINGS

WARNING: To avoid potential physical injury, or damage to sensitive electronic


circuits and systems, always disconnect and isolate the battery negative
(ground) cable and the positive cable, then ground the positive cable to
discharge the ORC capacitor before performing any welding operations
on the vehicle. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in
accidental airbag deployment, possible damage to the Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) circuits and components, and possible damage to
other electronic circuits and components. Whenever a welding process is
being performed within 30 cm (12 in) of an electronic module/harness,
then that module/harness should be relocated out of the way, or
disconnected. Always protect against component or vehicle damage from
weld spatter by using weld blankets and screens. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in serious or fatal injury.

WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with the


Supplemental Restraint System (SRS), never attempt to repair the
electrically conductive circuits or wiring components related to the SRS
for which there is no MOPAR wiring repair kit. It is important to use ONLY
the recommended splicing kit and procedure. For applicable and available
MOPAR wiring repair kits, please visit the MOPAR Connector Web Site at
the following address on the Internet:
(http://dto.vftis.com/mopar/disclaimer.asp). Inappropriate repairs can
compromise the conductivity and current carrying capacity of those
critical electrical circuits, which may cause SRS components not to
deploy when required, or to deploy when not required. Only minor cuts or
abrasions of wire and terminal insulation where the conductive material
has not been damaged, or connector insulators where the integrity of the
latching and locking mechanisms have not been compromised may be
repaired using appropriate methods.

WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury during and following any seat belt or child
restraint anchor service, carefully inspect all seat belts, buckles,
mounting hardware, retractors, tether straps, and anchors for proper
installation, operation, or damage. Replace any belt that is cut, frayed, or
torn. Straighten any belt that is twisted. Tighten any loose fasteners.
Replace any belt that has a damaged or ineffective buckle or retractor.
Replace any belt that has a bent or damaged latch plate or anchor plate.
Replace any child restraint anchor or the unit to which the anchor is
2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
2011 ACCESSORIES AND EQUIPMENT Frame and Bumpers - Grand Cherokee

integral that has been bent or damaged. Never attempt to repair a seat
belt or child restraint component. Always replace damaged or ineffective
seat belt and child restraint components with the correct, new and
unused replacement parts listed in the Chrysler Mopar® Parts Catalog.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal
injury.

WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with side curtain
airbags, disable the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before
attempting any Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) diagnosis or service.
The ORC contains a rollover sensor, which enables the system to deploy
the side curtain airbags in the event of a vehicle rollover event. If an ORC
is accidentally rolled during service while still connected to battery
power, the side curtain airbags will deploy. Disconnect and isolate the
battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system
capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service.
This is the only sure way to disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper
precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.

WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable
the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before attempting any steering
wheel, steering column, airbag, Occupant Classification System (OCS),
seat belt tensioner, impact sensor or instrument panel component
diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground)
cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before
performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to
disable the SRS. Failure to follow these instructions may result in
accidental airbag deployment.

WARNING: To avoid potential physical injury or damage to sensitive electronic


circuits and systems, always disconnect and isolate the battery negative
(ground) cable and the positive cable, then ground the positive cable to
discharge the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) capacitor before
performing any welding operations on the vehicle. Failure to take the
proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment, possible
damage to the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) circuits and
components, and possible damage to other electronic circuits and
components. Whenever a welding process is being performed within 12
inches (30 centimeters) of an electronic module or wiring harness, then
that module or harness should be relocated out of the way, or
disconnected. Always protect against component or vehicle damage from
weld spatter by using weld blankets and screens.

WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury, do not attempt to dismantle an airbag unit
or tamper with its inflator. Do not puncture, incinerate or bring into
contact with electricity. Do not store at temperatures exceeding 93° C
2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
2011 ACCESSORIES AND EQUIPMENT Frame and Bumpers - Grand Cherokee

(200° F). An airbag inflator unit may contain sodium azide and potassium
nitrate. These materials are poisonous and extremely flammable. Contact
with acid, water, or heavy metals may produce harmful and irritating
gases (sodium hydroxide is formed in the presence of moisture) or
combustible compounds. An airbag inflator unit may also contain a gas
canister pressurized to over 17.24 kPa (2500 psi). Failure to follow these
instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.

WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury when handling a seat belt tensioner
retractor. Exercise proper care to keep fingers out from under the
retractor cover and away from the seat belt webbing where it exits from
the retractor cover. Failure to follow these instructions may result in
possible serious or fatal injury.

WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury, replace all Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS) components only with parts specified in the Chrysler Mopar® Parts
Catalog. Substitute parts may appear interchangeable, but internal
differences may result in inferior occupant protection.

WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury, the fasteners, screws, and bolts originally
used for the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) components must
never be replaced with any substitutes. These fasteners have special
coatings and are specifically designed for the SRS. Anytime a new
fastener is needed, replace it with the correct fasteners provided in the
service package or specified in the Chrysler Mopar® Parts Catalog.

WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury when a steering column has an airbag unit
attached, never place the column on the floor or any other surface with
the steering wheel or airbag unit face down. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.

DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION

NOTE: LHD model shown in illustration. RHD model similar.

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.

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:

 Mode door actuator (2) and air-doors


2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
2011 HVAC Heating & Air Conditioning - Service Information - Grand Cherokee

 Recirculation door actuator (3) and air-door


 Particulate air filter (4), when equipped
 Blower motor (5)
 Blower motor power module (ATC) (6)
 Passenger side blend door actuator (7) and air-door
 Evaporator temperature sensor (8)
 Heater core (9)
 A/C evaporator (10)
 Driver side blend door actuator (11) and air-door

NOTE: An electric positive temperature coefficient (PTC) heater is used on vehicles


when equipped with the 3.0L diesel engine. The PTC heater unit compensates
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. For more information, refer to UNIT, HEATER, DESCRIPTION.

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.

Fig. 2: Blend Air System Schematic


Courtesy of CHRYSLER LLC

NOTE: Typical blend-air type HVAC system shown in illustration.

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.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING


A/C PERFORMANCE

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.

A/C PERFORMANCE 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.

CAUTION: The use of an A/C recycling/charging station for purposes of determining


the actual charge level of an A/C system is not recommend. Service
recycling/charging stations do not reflect the correct amount of refrigerant
charge in the A/C system after a single "reclaim" cycle. Tests have shown
that it can take two or more "reclaim" cycles to remove all of the
refrigerant charge, depending on the equipment being used. Use only the
following procedure for determining the proper charge level.

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.
2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
2011 HVAC Heating & Air Conditioning - Service Information - Grand Cherokee

3. Operate the heating-A/C system under the following conditions.


 Engine at 1, 000 rpm at operating temperature

 Doors and windows closed

 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).

DESCRIPTION

DESCRIPTION

2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
2011 HVAC Heating & Air Conditioning - Service Information - Grand Cherokee

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.

REMOVAL

REMOVAL

WARNING: Disable the airbag system before attempting any steering wheel, steering
column or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Refer to
WARNING . Disconnect and isolate the negative battery (ground) cable,
then wait two minutes for the airbag system capacitor to discharge before

DESCRIPTION

DESCRIPTION

Fig. 29: Identifying Ambient Air Temperature Sensor


Courtesy of CHRYSLER LLC

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.

SENSOR, EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE

DESCRIPTION

DESCRIPTION

NOTE: Cutaway view of HVAC housing shown in illustration for clarity.

Fig. 32: Evaporator Temperature Sensor


Courtesy of CHRYSLER LLC

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
damaged.

NOTE: Typical sun sensor assembly shown in illustration.

Fig. 35: Sun Sensor, Clear Lens & Wire Harness Receptacle
Courtesy of CHRYSLER LLC

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.

The sun sensor assembly is located so that the sun rays will hit the sensors in the same way that it will hit the
driver and the passenger. If the vehicle exhibits a lack of passenger comfort in sunny weather such as in the
early afternoon, inspect the area around the sun sensor on top of the dash panel. It is important that the area of
the sun sensor be unobstructed from plain view. Check for the following:

 Windshield wipers are properly adjusted.


 Sun sensor is properly installed. Refer to SENSOR, SUN, INSTALLATION.
 Any stickers on the windshield are not directly in front of the sun sensor.
 Any items laying on top of the instrument panel are not covering the sun sensor.

The A/C-heater control continually monitors the sun sensor circuits and will store Diagnostic Trouble Codes
(DTCs) for any problem it detects. The sun sensor can be tested in the vehicle with a scan tool. Refer to

TRANSDUCER, A/C PRESSURE

DESCRIPTION

DESCRIPTION

Fig. 40: A/C Pressure Transducer


Courtesy of CHRYSLER LLC

The A/C pressure transducer (1) is a switch that is installed on a fitting located on the A/C discharge line. An
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.

Fig. 69: Air Inlet Housing & HVAC Housing


Courtesy of CHRYSLER LLC

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.
2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
2011 HVAC Heating & Air Conditioning - Service Information - Grand Cherokee

The HVAC housing must be removed from the vehicle and disassembled for service of the A/C evaporator. The
air distribution housing must be removed from the HVAC housing and disassembled for service of the mode-air
and blend-air doors. The air inlet housing must be removed from HVAC housing and disassembled for service
of the recirculation-air door.

DESCRIPTION
2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
2011 HVAC Heating & Air Conditioning - Service Information - Grand Cherokee

Fig. 166: Blower Motor, Blower Wheel, Harness Connector & Mounting Tabs
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.

PLUMBING
WARNING

WARNING

WARNING: The A/C system contains refrigerant under high pressure. Repairs should
only be performed by qualified service personnel. Serious or fatal injury
may result from improper service procedures.

WARNING: Avoid breathing the refrigerant and refrigerant oil vapor or mist. Exposure
may irritate the eyes, nose, and/or throat. Wear eye protection when
servicing the A/C refrigerant system. Serious eye injury can result from
direct contact with the refrigerant. If eye contact occurs, seek medical
attention immediately.

WARNING: Do not expose the refrigerant to open flame. Poisonous gas is created
when refrigerant is burned. An electronic leak detector is recommended.
Serious or fatal injury may result from improper service procedures.

WARNING: If accidental A/C system discharge occurs, ventilate the work area before
resuming service. Large amounts of refrigerant released in a closed work
area will displace the oxygen and cause suffocation and serious or fatal
injury.

WARNING: The evaporation rate of R-134a refrigerant at average temperature and


altitude is extremely high. As a result, anything that comes in contact with
the refrigerant will freeze. Always protect the skin or delicate objects from
direct contact with the refrigerant.

WARNING: The R-134a service equipment or the vehicle refrigerant system should
not be pressure tested or leak tested with compressed air. Some mixtures
of air and R-134a have been shown to be combustible at elevated
pressures. These mixtures are potentially dangerous, and may result in
fire or explosion causing property damage and serious or fatal injury.

WARNING: The engine cooling system is designed to develop internal pressures up


2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
2011 HVAC Heating & Air Conditioning - Service Information - Grand Cherokee

to 145 kPa (21 psi). Do not remove or loosen the coolant pressure cap,
cylinder block drain plugs, radiator drain, radiator hoses, heater hoses, or
hose clamps while the engine cooling system is hot and under pressure.
Allow the vehicle to cool for a minimum of 15 minutes before opening the
cooling system for service. Failure to observe this warning can result in
serious burns from the heated engine coolant.

CAUTION

CAUTION

CAUTION: Never add R-12 to a refrigerant system designed to use R-134a. Do not use
R-12 equipment or parts on an R-134a A/C system. These refrigerants are
not compatible and damage to the A/C system will result.

CAUTION: Never use R-12 refrigerant oil in an A/C system designed to use R-134a
refrigerant oil. These refrigerant oils are not compatible and damage to the
A/C system will result.

CAUTION: The use of A/C system sealers may result in damage to A/C refrigerant
recovery/evacuation/recharging equipment and/or A/C system. Many
federal, state/provincial and local regulations prohibit the recharge of A/C
systems with known leaks. Chrysler LLC recommends the detection of A/C
system leaks through the use of approved leak detectors and fluorescent
leak detection dyes. Vehicles found with A/C system sealers 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 voids the
warranty for the A/C system.

CAUTION: Recover the refrigerant before opening any fitting or connection. Open the
fittings with caution, even after the system has been discharged. Never
open or loosen a connection before recovering the refrigerant.

CAUTION: If equipped, do not remove the secondary retention clip from any spring-
lock coupler connection while the refrigerant system is under pressure.
Recover the refrigerant before removing the secondary retention clip.
Open the fittings with caution, even after the system has been discharged.
Never open or loosen a connection before recovering the refrigerant.

CAUTION: The internal parts of the A/C system will remain stable as long as
moisture-free refrigerant and refrigerant oil is used. Abnormal amounts of
dirt, moisture or air can upset the chemical stability. This may cause
operational troubles or even serious damage if present in more than very
small quantities. Before disconnecting a component, clean the outside of
2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
2011 HVAC Heating & Air Conditioning - Service Information - Grand Cherokee

the fittings thoroughly to prevent contamination from entering the


refrigerant system. Keep service tools and the work area clean. Do not
open the refrigerant system or uncap a replacement component until you
are ready to service the system. Immediately after disconnecting a
component from the refrigerant system, seal the open fittings with a cap or
plug. This will prevent contamination from entering the A/C system.

CAUTION: Refrigerant oil will absorb moisture from the atmosphere if left uncapped.
Do not open a container of refrigerant oil until you are ready to use it.
Replace the cap on the oil container immediately after using. Store
refrigerant oil only in a clean, airtight, and moisture-free container.

CAUTION: Do not overcharge the refrigerant system. Overcharging will cause


excessive compressor head pressure and can cause compressor noise
and A/C system failure.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - REFRIGERANT SYSTEM LEAKS

WARNING: R-134a service equipment or vehicle A/C system should not be pressure
tested or leak tested with compressed air. Mixture of air and R-134a can

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.

1. Recover the refrigerant system. Refer to PLUMBING, STANDARD PROCEDURE.


2. Connect a suitable charging station, refrigerant recovery machine or a manifold gauge set with vacuum
pump and refrigerant recovery equipment. Refer to PLUMBING, STANDARD PROCEDURE.
3. Open the suction and discharge valves and start the vacuum pump. The vacuum pump should run a
minimum of 45 minutes prior to charge to eliminate all moisture in system. When the suction gauge reads
to the lowest degree of vacuum possible (approximately -88 kPa (- 26 in. Hg) or greater) for 30 minutes,
close all valves and turn off vacuum pump. If the system fails to reach specified vacuum, the refrigerant
system likely has a leak that must be corrected. If the refrigerant system maintains specified vacuum for
at least 30 minutes, start the vacuum pump, open the suction and discharge valves. Then allow the system
to evacuate an additional 10 minutes.
4. Close all valves. Turn off and disconnect the vacuum pump.
5. Charge the refrigerant system. Refer to REFRIGERANT SYSTEM CHARGE.

A/C COMPRESSOR

Fig. 180: A/C Compressor


Courtesy of CHRYSLER LLC

NOTE: Typical A/C compressor shown in illustration.

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.

HIGH PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE

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.

HIGH PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE

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.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING

A/C CLUTCH COIL

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.

COIL RESISTANCE TEST

1. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable.


2. Disconnect the wire harness connector from the A/C clutch coil connector.
3. Use an ohm meter and Back Probe Tool (special tool #6801, Terminal Probe) and measure the resistance
of the A/C clutch coil at the coil connector terminals.
4. See A/C Clutch Coil Specifications table for acceptable A/C clutch coil resistance. Specifications apply
for a work area temperature of 21° C (70° F).
1. If the A/C clutch coil reading is below specifications, the coil is shorted and must be replaced.
2. If the A/C clutch coil reading is above specifications, the coil is open and must be replaced.

COIL CURRENT DRAW TEST

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.

A/C SYSTEM NOISE

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.

Fig. 203: A/C Condenser, Mounting Tabs, Steering Cooler, A/C Receiver/Drier & Tapping Block
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.

NOTE: Replacement of the refrigerant line O-ring seals and gaskets is required anytime
a refrigerant line is disconnected. Failure to replace the rubber O-ring seals and
metal gaskets could result in a refrigerant system leak.

The A/C condenser has no serviceable parts. 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 and gaskets must be replaced whenever a
refrigerant line is disconnected from the A/C condenser.

The A/C condenser cannot be repaired and must be replaced if leaking or damaged.

Fig. 210: Heater Core, Heater Core Tubes & Tank


Courtesy of CHRYSLER LLC

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

doors allow control of the output air temperature by regulating the amount of air flowing through the heater
core. The blower motor speed controls the volume of air flowing through the HVAC housing.

The heater core cannot be repaired and must be replaced if restricted, leaking or damaged.

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,
REMOVAL.

EVAPORATOR, A/C

DESCRIPTION

DESCRIPTION

NOTE: LHD model shown in illustration. RHD model similar.

Fig. 223: A/C Evaporator, Insulator, Tubes, O-Rings & Block


Courtesy of CHRYSLER LLC

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

a refrigerant line or expansion valve is disconnected. Failure to replace the


rubber O-ring seals and metal gaskets could result in a refrigerant system leak.

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

REFRIGERANT OIL LEVEL

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 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.

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.

VALVE, A/C EXPANSION

DESCRIPTION

DESCRIPTION

Fig. 250: A/C Expansion Valve


Courtesy of CHRYSLER LLC

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.

The A/C expansion valve is factory calibrated and cannot be adjusted or repaired and must be replaced if
inoperative or damaged.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - A/C EXPANSION VALVE

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.

Fig. 259: Positive Temperature Coefficient Heater Unit


Courtesy of CHRYSLER LLC

NOTE: LHD model shown in illustration. RHD model similar.

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.

For a complete wiring diagram, refer to appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article .

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:

With the ignition on.

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
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:

With the ignition on.

SET CONDITION:

The A/C Heater Control detects a short to voltage on the Evaporator Temperature Sensor Signal circuit. 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.

POSSIBLE CAUSES

Possible Causes

B1037-92-AUTO SWITCH REQUEST INPUT - PERFORMANCE OR INCORRECT OPERATION

For a complete wiring diagram, refer to appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article .

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 .

2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
2011 HVAC Heating & Air Conditioning - Electrical Diagnostics - Grand Cherokee

For a complete wiring diagram, refer to appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article .

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:

Continuously with the ignition on.

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.

B1142-92-MODE UP SWITCH REQUEST INPUT - PERFORMANCE OR INCORRECT OPERATION

For a complete wiring diagram, refer to appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article .

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 .

WHEN MONITORED:

With the ignition on.

SET CONDITION:

If the Up Mode Switch is stuck in an On position for more than 30 seconds. This DTC has a de-maturing time
of one second. If the DTCs status changes from active to stored, the DTC will stay in memory for 100 ignition
cycles.

2011 HVAC Heating & Air Conditioning - Electrical Diagnostics - Grand Cherokee

For a complete wiring diagram, refer to appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article .

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:

Continuously with the ignition on.

SET CONDITION:

The A/C Heater Control detects an open in the Driver Blend Door control circuit. If the A/C Heater Control
detects a valid current draw, the DTC will change from Active to Stored and will stay in the controllers memory

HEATING-A/C SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS

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
