AUDIO SYSTEM
The factory-installed RAZ sales code radio receiver communicates on the Chrysler Collision Detection (CCD) data bus network through a separate
two-way wire harness connector. This is used for the remote radio switches that are mounted to the steering wheel, and also used for radio
diagnosis with the DRBIII.
The remote radio switches are resistor multiplexed units that are hard wired to the high line CTM through the clockspring. The CTM monitors the
status of the remote radio switches and sends the proper switch status messages on the Chrysler Collision Detection (CCD) data bus network to the
radio receiver. The electronic circuitry within the radio is programmed to respond to these remote radio switch status messages by adjusting the
radio settings as requested.
The Infinity speakers used in the premium speaker system are driven by dual amplifiers that are integral to each of the front door speakers. One of
these dual amplifiers drives the front door speaker and the A-pillar mounted tweeter for that side of the vehicle, while the other amplifier drives the
rear speaker for that side of the vehicle.
The filter, choke, and power relay unit is used to control the supply of fused battery current to the front door speaker-mounted dual amplifiers.
CENTRAL TIMER MODULE
The Ram Truck utilize a Central Timer Module (CTM). This system is available in a Base or High line configuration. The Base (IEM)
configuration does not communicate on the CCD bus and will not be addressed. The CTM will handle most of the electronic timing and chime
functions for the systems on the truck. The High line CTM provides the following features:
-
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
-
Central Locking Feature
-
Chime
-
Courtesy Lamp controls/Illuminated Entry
-
Power Door Locks
-
Speed Sensitive Intermittent Wipers
-
Enhanced Accident Response
-
Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS)
The CTM is located on the right side of the steering column behind the knee blocker on a metal bracket welded to the instrument panel. It contains
a white 18-way and a green 14-way connector. For additional information on the Base CTM refer to Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning
Indicators / Audible Warning Device. See: Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators/Audible Warning Device
Chime System
The chime system is built into the CTM. The system also supports an external chime request from the instrument cluster. This feature allows the
instrument cluster to request a chime from the CTM for gauge problems and tell tale warnings. The CTM chime functions will have priority over
the MIC chime requests. There are two chime rates, Low; 50 chimes per minute for reminders and High; 180 chimes per minute for serious
conditions that require immediate attention. The high rate chime sounds when the key is left in the ignition and the driver doors is open or the
headlights are left ON. The low rate chime sounds for any of the other conditions. There is a variable rate feature that allows the chime to sound
continuously for key-in and headlamp warning as long as the door is open. The seat belt warning chime is activated for 4 to 6 seconds, and all
other chime conditions will activate the chime once at the same time the warning light on the cluster is illuminated.
The chime will sound for the following conditions:
