Intrepid V6-3.2L VIN J (1998)
"off" (unlock) to run, the cluster will perform a check of all micro-controlled indicators, the odometer and the PRNDL for approx. 2 seconds. Other bulb
checks with longer bulb check durations will be performed based on bus messages from other modules. If the cluster receives no PC bus messages for
(20) seconds after the transition to "run", the cluster will display "no bus" in the odometer.
A self test can be initiated by holding down the odometer reset button and switching the ignition from "lock" to "off" (unlock). This test will activate the
gauges, turn on the indicator lights along with the odometer and PRNDL segments.
Memory System Description
The memory system consists of power left front seat, power mirrors and radio presets. The memory heated seat/mirror module (MHSMM) also includes
the heated seat function. The module is located under the left front seat and receives input from:
-
left manual 8-way seat switch
-
left seat position sensors
-
memory switch
-
both heated seat switches
-
both heated seat negative temperature coefficients (NTC's) thermistors
-
PCI bus circuit
-
the power mirror sensors
The module uses these inputs to perform the following functions: position the left front seat, position drivers memory seat and mirrors, actuate the
drivers and passenger healed seat heater and send the memory location over the PCI bus.
When a memory button is pressed (either #1 or #2) on the memory switch the MHSMM sends a message to the BCM which in turn sends a recall
message to the MHSMM and the PCI radio. They will in turn position the left seat and both mirrors along with setting the radio presets.
Memory Seat
The memory power seat provides the driver with 2 position settings for the left seat. Each power seat motor is connected to the memory heated
seat/mirror module (MHSMM) with two circuits. Each circuit is switched between battery and ground. By alternating the circuits the MHSMM controls
the movement of the motors based on input from the seat mounted switch.
Each motor contains a potentiometer to monitor the seat position. To monitor the position of the motor, the MHSMM sends out a 5-volt reference on the
sensor supply circuit. The sensor is grounded back to the module on a common ground circuit. Based on the position of the sensor, the MHSMM
monitors the voltage change through the sensor on a separate signal circuit.
The MHSMM stores the input value of each of the four seat potentiometers in memory when the system is requested. The driver can initiate memory
recall, using either the seat mounted memory switch or the RKE transmitter. When initiated, the MHSMM adjusts the four seat motors to match the
memorized seat position data.
For safety, the memory seat recall is disabled by the MHSMM when the vehicle is out of park position. Any obstruction to seat movement over a 2
second delay will cause the seat to stop moving in which case a stalled motor would be detected by the MHSMM which would then flag a trouble code
and the corresponding seat output would be deactivated. However, if the object obstructing the seat is removed, the seat will function normally again.
Memory Seat Glide
The intent of this feature is to allow for easier entry and exit to the vehicle by moving the seat rearward a short distance when the operator turns the
ignition off. The seat returns to its original position when the operator returns and turns on the ignition or extends the seat belt. If any seat movement is
initiated, whether manual or by memory recall, after the ignition has been turned off, that will cancel any ensuing glide to enter movement until the next
ignition cycle.
This feature can be enabled/disabled by the owner by holding the memory set button and simultaneously pressing the horizontal rearward switch. To
reinstate the feature, repeat the process. This can also be done using the DRB which will also inform as to which state it is in.
Memory Mirrors
Each outside mirror has a vertical and a horizontal position sensor. The memory heated seat/mirror module (MHSMM) provides a 5-volt reference to
each position sensor. The sensors share a common ground circuit. The MHSMM monitors the position of the mirrors by measuring the voltage of each
signal. When a memory position is set, the MHSMM monitors and stores the position of the outside mirrors. The MHSMM adjusts the mirrors to the
appropriate positions when a memory recall message is received from the RKE or is requested from the memory switch.
The power mirror switch during non-memory operation operates both mirrors independently of the MHSMM.
Overhead Travel Information System/Homelink (OTIS)
The overhead travel information system (OTIS) gives the driver information that supplements the primary gauge instrumentation. OTIS displays this
information on a vacuum fluorescent display (VFD). The OTIS module has four switch inputs. The buttons for these switches are integral to the OTIS
housing. There are two buttons on each side of the OTIS. The buttons are labeled US/M, C/T, STEP, and RESET. The driver selects and resets display
